SAN DIEGO (MarketWatch) — Back in November of 2011, I wrote an article about Apple for MarketWatch. At the time, I stated the following: "The bottom line is this, however; there is currently not a cheaper quality growth stock in the entire market." In other words, I loved the stock.
I based that opinion on three important factors that I always consider before buying a stock. I like stocks with good long-term and short-term relative strength, a compelling valuation, and a strong stock chart. At that time Apple possessed all three of these characteristics.
Apple's shares AAPL, +0.94% were trading at $363.57 back then. By September of 2012, the shares hit a peak of $705, and I continued to hold my shares here at Gunderson Capital Management. At $705 the shares were not as cheap as they once were, the relative performance was stellar, and the chart was obviously hitting new highs, although it was starting to get extended.
Everyone who owned Apple at that point had a profit in the stock. It was getting hard to find much more demand, as most of had already been satiated. The stock finally started to roll over after a meteoric rise.
As a widely held, big winner like Apple begins to roll over, it goes through several stages of distribution. At first, the correction looks like nothing more than a routing pullback within the primary uptrend. The nervous Nellies and short-term traders are the first ones to head for the exit.
In the past, Apple had always recovered after a bout of profit-taking and marched on to new highs. This time was different, however. By early October, the stock broke below its 50-day moving average for the first time in six months. Early profit-taking then started to escalate into some serious selling. I sold my shares on Oct. 8 at $637 per share.
Even though the stock still made sense from a valuation point of view, my other two criteria had been violated. The stock's relative performance against the 3,200 other stocks that I follow was dropping fast, and it no longer had a healthy stock chart.
In mid-October, the 20-day moving average crossed below the 50-day for the first time in five months. This was its first so-called death cross and now even ardent believers in the stock began to take notice. Early profit-taking had turned into serious selling, and now panic selling was starting to set in.
The stock then proceeded to go almost straight down for almost two months. Full-blown distribution finally hit America's darling, and $705 became $505 very quickly. I don't know about you, but I never buy a stock in a downtrend. Even though it was tempting, we first needed to find out where the downtrend would eventually end.
The stock had some support in the $500 area, but after a quick little 90-point bounce, the ugly downtrend resumed. The stock tested $500 again, and it looked like it might hold, but then gapped down again after earnings and finally settled in the $450 area.
All the way down after I sold my shares, I warned listeners of my radio show to avoid the stock. I hope that I saved them some grief.
Now that the stock is $450, isn't it time to get back in?
Let's begin with my current valuation of the shares:
The stock currently still looks good from a valuation point of view. When I extrapolate the current earnings estimates out over the next five years at 13.7% per year and apply a reasonable multiple, I come up with a five-year target price of $853.
Along with the dividend, the stock has 98.7% upside potential, which is very good. It should be noted, however, that the earnings estimates and price target have come down drastically in the last few months. Earnings momentum is finally contracting on the stock — not good.

Denver Wheel Club 404 along South Broadway in Denver (Girl Walks Into a Bar)
We have a new bar column here at The Denver Post that we'd like to introduce you to: A Kathleen St. John-penned column called Girl Walks Into a Bar. It's about cocktails, beautiful rooms, hot patios, bar food and camaraderie. It's about making friends with the group next to you. It's about small plates, big drinks and good times. It's about the good people and bright bars in Denver and Boulder and beyond. We'll feature one snippet a day for the next few weeks from columns that have already run in print — with links to read more, of course. (Print readers can take in the column every Friday in the Entertainment section.) Enjoy! — Ricardo Baca, entertainment editor
Club 404 was one of the last of the old guard of Broadway watering holes when it closed in December 2011. Now, with some updates and a new, bike-loving motif, the spirit of the 404 lives on in Denver Wheel Club 404.
At first glance, it seems that little has changed. The old tan-and-brown booths are still there along the north wall. The lighting is still a tad too bright to be sexy, but dim enough for drinking. A few regulars are bellied up to the bar, ordering shot-and-a-beer combos.
The improvements quickly become obvious, however. The nose notices it first: After more than 60 years of serving up steaks and pub grub, the old 404 had a distinct, fryer-grease smell. The Wheel Club's aroma is similar, but greatly diminished — the new crew must have given the place a rigorous scrubbing.
Simple four-top tables in the center of the front room free up space; the old tables were large and limited movement around the bar. Red lights and corrugated steel decorate the bar's front panel. The walls at the back of the room and in the kitchen/bathroom hallway are repainted in bright colors, and vintage bicycle ads and photos replace the old beer signs and posters.

HELP! yall sound like computer buffs and i'm just stuck. how do i get my webcam to work. it's the CNA 7157 installed but it's not working. plz help.
I have the M10-11V.
Getting the in-built 3G functionality to work has proved unsuccessful so far. I haven't even tried the fingerprint reader or the smart card reader because - excuse the pessimism - I'm not holding out any hopes.
Sound works fine now, though, although it didn't at first. I think the driver has been incorporated into the kernel or something.
As an aside, I also think this thing is a bit rickety - it has been from very early on. I think the next computer I'll buy will be a Mac.
(Unhappy) Jon.
I followed Initi0's instructions and it worked perfectly.
On another subject, I have 4GB of RAM installed, but only seeing 3.1, has anyone else come across this ?
Installed on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). Some information are from a few months ago as I have not yet tried to fix them.
-Wireless worked immediately.
-I don't remember having to use the sound modprobing suggested here. But sound definitely works.
-Function keys for brightness works but brightness is always reset when it dims (from inactivity) and comes back. Have not managed to disable dimming (even disabled it in power options). I may have installed toshset to get this to work. Don't remember exactly what I did but I know I needed to do something to get this to work WHILE using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (it initially worked with vesa but stopped working when I installed the drivers)
-NVIDIA worked fine but I installed the newest drivers anyway because I was trying to resolve an issue with compiz (white flickers when zooming) which I "solved" in a different way (by allowing it to display two cursors).
-But the reason googled my way here today is because I can't force the fan to remain on even though I feel its overheating. toshset gives an error and doesn't seem to be able to set it.
-Cannot get built-in webcam to work.
-Cannot get fingerprint reader to work (apparently because the fingerprint reader's manufacturer has changed or something like that if I recall correctly).
-Hibernating does not work. Either it sleeps and doesn't wake up or wakes up immediately.
-Cannot get tty's to display (anywhere!) when using NVIDIA drivers. Can see tty's when using vesa drivers. I know that they are there because commands are being executed and the speaker beeps at the right time but I just can't see anything (its just black).
Skype 184.108.40.206 installed, webcam started immediately!!!

Tackle a Dreary, Do-I-Have-to-Get-Out-of-Bed Day With a Burst of Color
The Morton Salt Girl got it right in her yellow raincoat. "There are days we need a shot of adrenaline before we even get out of bed, and colors can help with that," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of More Alive With Color ($20, amazon.com). "By surrounding yourself with bright colors—something as simple as an orange bathrobe or a yellow umbrella—you can give yourself that needed energy boost to face the day." In general, saturated, warm colors (the red, orange, and yellow of ROY G BIV) are considered most energizing, while cool tones (like green, blue, indigo, and violet) are calming.
Rise and Seek Sunshine
"You want to use light and stimulation to wake you up for the daytime, then use dark and quiet at night," says Joyce Walsleben, Ph.D., an associate professor of medicine at the New York University Sleep Disorders Center. "If you can go outside within 15 minutes of waking for 20 minutes and face east, even on a cloudy day, you'll get enough light to energize yourself for the day."
End Your Shower With a Burst of Cold Water
Your body responds more quickly to a cold stimulus than to hot, so "a quick, short blast will perk you up," says Jim Karas, a coauthor of The 7-Day Energy Surge ($16, amazon.com).
Get the Giggles
"With laughter, you reap the recharging benefits of exercise without having to spend time at the gym," says Clifford Kuhn, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, who is also known as the Laugh Doctor and happens to sell red clown noses on his website (drcliffordkuhn.com). "After a good laugh, you experience a momentary surge of energy, which—in addition to reducing stress and boosting immunity—can help your body regenerate more healthful cells over time," he says. To get you started, go to funnyordie.com or huffingtonpost.com/comedy for laugh-inducing videos.
Dab on a Jasmine-Infused Fragrance
"Jasmine increases beta waves, which make you more awake and alert," says Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and the founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, in Chicago. Keep a spillproof, solid jasmine fragrance in your handbag. (Try Mélange Perfume Melati Jasmine Solid Perfume; $18, melangeperfume.com.)

Supreme Court Narrows President's Recess-Appointment Powers
Justices Rule Obama's Appointments to NLRB During Senate Break in 2012 Were Invalid
WASHINGTON—Settling a constitutional showdown over presidential power, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority in making temporary appointments to the National Labor Relations Board during a brief Senate break in 2012.
But they split over the extent to which they should limit the president's recess-appointment power. The court's four liberals, joined by conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy, declined to nearly eliminate the capability, as a lower court had done. The majority...

DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - Tiger Woods will link up with his 19th different partner in team play for the United States after being paired with Matt Kuchar for Thursday's opening fourballs at the Presidents Cup.
World number one Woods and Kuchar will take on the long-hitting Internationals combination of Argentina's Angel Cabrera and Australian Marc Leishman in the fifth match out at Muirfield Village Club.
Many had expected Woods to be reunited with Steve Stricker, with whom he has gelled superbly in the past, though the pair failed to spark together in last year's Ryder Cup against Europe.
While giving Woods his 19th different partner at either the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup, U.S. captain Fred Couples said on Wednesday he had always intended to send out the 14-times major champion in the fifth match.
"We felt like Woods would be good in the five slot, and that's almost where we had him from the get-go to clean up and hopefully get a point for us," Couples told reporters after he and his opposite number Nick Price had announced their pairings.
Woods, a veteran of seven Ryder Cups who will be competing in his eighth Presidents Cup, said earlier this week he was happy to play with any of his team mates.
"I've played on these teams for so long now, I've had all different types of partners; guys who hit the ball for miles, guys who are short, guys who are pretty mellow, guys who are pretty volatile," Woods told reporters.
"I've had it all. So I think it's just a matter of trying to gel that particular week, and, you know, sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. But the whole idea is to go out there and just play."
Kuchar, a rock-steady player who won twice on the PGA Tour this year, was delighted to become the 10th different partner for Woods at a Presidents Cup.
"I look forward to it," the American world number eight said. "I get along real well with Tiger. Certainly if you could pick a partner, the No. 1 player in the world is a good partner to have."
There were no major surprises in either of the captain's selections on Wednesday, with both teams pairing up good friends and regular practice partners in a bid to make a fast start in the biennial competition.
In the top match, Americans Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker will take on Australian Jason Day and Canada's Graham DeLaet, with Masters champion Adam Scott and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama next off against good buddies Bill Haas and Webb Simpson.
Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley will resume their electrifying partnership from last year's Ryder Cup when they play against long-time pals and fellow South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel in the third match of the day.
American veteran Steve Stricker and 20-year-old rookie Jordan Spieth will meet South African Ernie Els and Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge while PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson face two more South Africans, Branden Grace and Richard Sterne, in the bottom match.
"We've got some great match-ups there," said Price, a former world number one who played on five International teams at the Presidents Cup. "I think we're in for a real day's treat of golf tomorrow.
"Obviously the U.S. has got a little bit more experience than we have, but I think what we lack in experience we'll make up for in enthusiasm. The rookies on my team are all very eager to go."
There are seven rookies in the 12-man International line-up with a further four on the U.S. team, who are bidding to win the trophy for an eighth time in 10 editions of the biennial competition.
Couples, who has captained the Americans to success in the last two Presidents Cups, knows how important it is for the holders to make a fast start.
"It's very important," he said. "It's like a regular event. If you play your way out of it, in a four-round event, you've got to fight back, hard, with some great play.
"You want to get off to a good start, and we've had great success the first day in several of these."

- Premier League
Mancini questions Nasri desire
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has criticised the form of midfielder Samir Nasri by saying that "he has not been playing at his level".
Nasri, 25, signed for City from Arsenal for around £24 million in 2011 and helped the club lift the Premier League trophy during his first season at the Etihad Stadium.
But, having started 14 of City's 26 Premier League matches this campaign and scoring just once, Mancini has questioned the France international's desire to push on this term.
Mancini told the Guardian: "I think Samir has fantastic qualities. With his quality, he should always play well. Every game he could be the difference. A player of this quality could be one of the best players in Europe. But it's not happening.
"Sometimes a player thinks it's enough what they did the year before and doesn't understand that every day they should improve. If you are a top player you know you can improve until the last day of your career but sometimes you get players who think it is not important to work and this is their worst mistake.
"Samir can do better than this year. He is a top player but he has not been playing at his level."

Northern New Jersey face lift surgery is a popular procedure performed by plastic surgeons that can help you look as young as you feel. All of the perfect yourself plastic surgeons who perform facelift surgery in Northern New Jersey are board certified and are reputable established plastic surgery professionals. Face lift surgery in Northern New Jersey is a good way to turn back the clock and diminish the effects of gravity exposure to the sun, stress and other contributing factors to the ageing process. A persons face may show the signs of ageing with crease marks appearing from the nose to mouth, folds and fat deposits forming around the neck, and the skin at the jaw line becoming slacker and looser. A Northern New Jersey face lift procedure can help combat these signs of ageing and help give you a rejuvenated, more youthful look while enhancing your self-confidence and giving a long-lasting firm, fresh and youthful looking appearance. A face lift procedure can be performed on its own, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid procedure, or nose reshaping. Your Northern New Jersey facelift surgeon will discuss your suitability for a face lift at your consultation. Your Northern New Jersey plastic surgeon will also explain your facelift procedure fully and discuss your expectations and the outcome you will achieve. The procedure for a face lift in Northern New Jersey is performed under general anesthetic which means that you will be asleep throughout the procedure and will feel no pain. An overnight stay in hospital is required. Face lifts often involve retracting and tightening the skin to achieve a smoother and more defined contour to your face, jaw line and your neck. Skin type, your skin elasticity, individual healing and ethnicity all influence the outcome of your procedure. You will need to rest after your face lift procedure until the effects of the anesthetic have passed and general painkillers can be used if needed. Before you leave, your Northern New Jersey face lift surgeon will advise you about your healing time and will arrange a follow-up appointment for you. This is usually about 2 weeks after your facelift procedure.
These Northern New Jersey face lifts surgeons are featured on the world largest plastic surgery directory of board certified surgeons, Perfect Yourself. You can find before and after photos including facelifts, liposuction, tummy tuck and rhinoplasty. These Northern New Jersey face lifts surgeons are also a plastic surgeon specialist in all forms of surgical breast procedures including breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, breast implants, breast lifts, breast enlargement, breast enhancement, breast reduction and male Gynecomastia.

Industrial revolution brings industry back to Europe
Europe needs its real economy now more than ever to underpin the recovery of economic growth and jobs and it needs to reverse the decline role of industry in Europe for the 21st century. If Europe does not keep up with investment in new technologies, its future competitiveness will be seriously compromised.
Industry - 20% of GDP by 2020
The Communication outlines a policy to lay the foundations for Europe's industry of the future. Currently, industry accounts for about 16% of the EU's GDP. Strengthening the industrial base of the Union would require reversing the declining industry trend observed for a long period of time, to approach 20% of GDP by 2020.
To that end, the Communication defines objectives to increase investment in equipment and the internationalisation of our firms, and to facilitate our SMEs' growth.
Needed: investment in innovation, better access to markets and capital
Pillars of the reinforced industrial policy
Investments in innovation
As a first step, six priority lines for short term actions are proposed to be taken in cooperation with industry and Member States. Measures for the speedy development of production and markets are:
Dedicated task forces will be created before the end of 2012 to define roadmaps for each action line.
For example, markets for clean production technologies are expected to grow strongly with the world market almost doubling up from some € 380 bn in 2007 to € 765 bn in 2020. For example, very fast growth is expected in automatic waste separation, a sector where Europe has dominant market share: the world market is expected to grow by the factor of five by 2020.
Better access to Internal Market and international markets
The Commission will concentrate on selected themes where significant improvement can be achieved quickly:
Access to finance and capitals
The crucial role of human capital and skills
In this area, the Commission will in particular further promote cooperation of employers, workers and relevant authorities through the creation of European Sector Skills Councils and of Knowledge and Sectors Skills Alliances.
Industry's active role is crucial in the success of the proposed actions
In order to be successful in achieving the proposed objectives, industry's active role and engagement is crucial. It must seize the opportunity to play its part in carrying out the necessary investments to give us that competitive lead.
This Communication creates an alliance between public authorities and industry to deliver growth and jobs. Following the adoption of the Communication, the Commission will work with stakeholders to define roadmaps and targets to ensure the faster adoption and industrial diffusion of new and cleaner technologies for which a dedicated working group will be set up.
Goals and monitoring of progress
In order to ensure the proper implementation of the proposed actions, the Commission will closely monitor a number of new key variables:
1. Investment
Gross fixed capital as a share of GDP was 18.6% in 2011. Before the crisis, it reached 21.25% of GDP in 2007. The investment effort needed to improve our productivity would require pre-crisis investment levels by 2015 and average levels of above 23% until 2020. Investment in equipment is currently between 6 and 7% of GDP. To improve of productivity and introduce new technologies it should recover pre-crisis levels and grow sustainably at rates above 9% of GDP until 2020.
2. Internal market trade
Trade in goods in the Internal Market is currently just below 21% of GDP2. In a reinvigorated Internal Market, this share should reach 25% by 2020.
3. SMEs –Small and medium sized enterprises
In line with Commission aspirations for the Digital Agenda flagship market, the number of small firms engaging in e-commerce selling should increase to reach 33% by 2015. The proportion of SMEs exporting inside the Internal Market was 25% according to the 2009 survey3. In the medium term the proportion of SMEs engaged in extra EU exports should also be 25% (from 13% currently).
There is substantial potential for reinforcing the industrial base
It seems that it becomes more interesting in investing in Europe again as the advantages of cheap labour are gradually diminishing. In recent years wages in industrial areas in China have been growing at a 20% rate per year in industrialised regions (substantially exceeding improvements in productivity) making them less and less cost attractive locations for manufacturing facilities.
In addition, labour costs seem to be becoming a diminishing part of total production costs. When accounting for logistics, duties, industrial real estate and other costs, the advantages of manufacturing in China could therefore be relatively less important than in the past. While improvements to and automation of production in China will lead to higher productivity, they are likely to challenge what has been up to now China's primary attraction, i.e. its low labour costs.
Furthermore, companies that located their production sites in Asia will to a larger extent serve the increasing local demand for goods. This may encourage companies to bring some of their production capacities serving the European market back to Europe, especially considering increasing risks and costs related to the management of global value chains. Companies would need to balance the diminishing cost benefits with persisting localised risks linked to high density of production in one geographical area. These risks include for instance natural catastrophes, socio-political disruptions and security issues (counterfeiting, sabotage, misappropriation).
New technologies will open new possibilities
New technologies that are about to appear on the market will open new possibilities. The European orientation towards sustainable growth will help us to gain the lead in energy and resource savings of production processes. Customised production will gain importance and favour closeness to the customer rather than mass standardised production.
These trends will complement more current European strengths i.e. strong micro-economic environment, high productivity, a large, integrated market, and a qualified, flexible labour force. One should not forget that Europe is an extremely important market, accounting for some 30% of global personal consumption expenditure in 2010, which is more than double that of the combined BRICS (around 14%). Besides, despite the skills mismatch problems reported by industry, Europe also leads in the number of graduates in natural science and engineering, respectively accounting for 18% and 17% of the world's total.
Challenges for EU industry
The protracted consequences of the crisis have placed European industry in a difficult economic position to carry out the necessary efforts to increase competitiveness via technological change and innovation. Nonetheless, in order to grasp these opportunities, European industry needs also to deal with several challenges. As the cost structure in industry changes, cost competitiveness will continue to be the key factor of industrial location and cannot be ignored by policy makers. Emerging economies are moving towards more knowledge-intensive sectors and start to compete not only with lower costs but also with increasingly qualified labour and improved infrastructures. Finally,
There are good reasons to be optimistic about the capacity of European industry to respond to this challenge: Europe is a world-leader in many strategic sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, engineering, space, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; it accounts for 4/5 of Europe's exports and 80% of private R&D investment comes from manufacturing.
Future growth sectors address societal challenges
A variety of radical new industrial technologies are emerging in the course of a "new industrial revolution" that will lead to the formation of new goods, services, and business models that will reshape EU industry. Some prominent examples include:
Customised production in smaller quantities
The deployment of advanced manufacturing technologies will allow customised production in much smaller quantities than is currently economically feasible. So-called 3D printing technologies are increasingly used to make plastic and metal production parts by carmakers, aerospace firms and consumer-products companies. These "printers" use very thin layers of powdered materials fused by lasers or electron beams enabling the production of precision products whilst saving energy and raw materials4. The wide availability of low-cost small production runs will increase opportunities for innovative SMEs to develop new niche products and business models.
Key enabling technologies offer opportunity for EU upstream production
The development of advanced materials and nanotechnology may result in a reversal of the current tendency for basic production and processing in heavy industries to be outsourced to third countries. Advanced materials with special properties, such as heat-resistant or high-strength steel for aircraft and intelligent nano-materials such as corrosion-resistant steel for bridges, are being developed in Europe. This provides the opportunity for Europe to once more become a competitive location for the upstream part of the steel value chain. IP/12/685
Intelligent products that do the job for elderly and disabled people
The development of "intelligent products that do the job" will improve assisted living and will be essential to allow elderly and disabled people maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. The development of such products including clean, safe and intelligent vehicles that combine electric power trains that reduce emissions with new safety and comfort features improve security and performance and allow the more intensive and efficient use of infrastructure.
New services and business models link manufacturing closer to services
New business models are emerging that link manufacturing closer to services. The development of smart phones that bundle internet services with equipment is a clear example. The development of RFID (Radio frequency identification) is another good example. It has resulted in a vast increase in timely information availability, allowing the closer integration of market research, logistics, and manufacturing businesses, and created in faster responsiveness to market demands and increased energy-efficiency in the transport sector. Such developments also have wide spill over effects including benefits for traditional sectors.
Societal challenges are economic opportunities
Technologies developed by industry will also be indispensable to find solutions to the major societal challenges facing the EU and the world. Over the next five to ten years, EU industry will:
This Communication builds on, and updates, the "Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era" adopted by the Commission in 2010 as part of the Europe 2020 Strategy. It focused on strengthening industrial competitiveness to support economic recovery and to enable the transition to a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy. The strategic approach proposed in 2010 remains fully valid for achieving our longer term objectives and very good progress has been made in its implementation. However, the harsh impact of the economic crisis on several Member States, the subsequent economic stagnation in the EU and the deteriorating outlook for the global economy have given a new urgency to this Mid-term Review of the Industrial Policy.
This year's Annual Growth Survey has underlined that growth-enhancing measures are needed to strengthen the recovery, to keep pace with our main competitors and to move towards the Europe 2020 objectives. A series of European Councils in 2011 and 2012 called for action in areas addressed by this Communication, as announced in President Barroso's State of the Union speech on 12th September 2012. This renewed industrial strategy is part of the response to these calls, in particular following the "Compact and Growth and Jobs" at the European Council of June 2012.
Half of the internal market is regulated by national technical regulations or not at all. In the last 10 years Member States notified 6882 technical regulations on which the Commission and the other Member States reacted by delivering 1230 detailed opinions which prevented several obstacles to the free movement of goods from arising.

Darkroom/E6 development
Hey folks, we are missing just a couple items to be able to do E6 color development by hand using the chems Eric donated. This is a full 6 bath E6 kit (as opposed to E6 Rapid). It's going to be awesome! And difficult! Join the party! Once we have this gear, we will also be able to process color negative film using C41 kits, but the current project underway is E6.
I have amazon prime, so I can get some of this stuff with free shipping. You can paypal me donations; email for address. I will buy the gear when we get close to the donations target. --Hurtstotouchfire 18:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
E6 checklist
- Large tub, translucent plastic preferred (think we have this)
- E6 chems (thanks Eric!)
- temp controller (see shopping list below)
- chem bottles, 1 qt x6 (see shopping list below)
- plastic reels, 35mm & 120 (ours are convertible)
- film tanks (check!)
- timer (check!)
- Darkroom (check!)
Most of this stuff is on the Darkroom resources page.
Kelly's Shopping list
- Temperature controller - $72.77
- Accordion chem bottles, 1qt - $4.99 (x6)
Total: $102.71
- Kelly - $20
- Subtotal: $80.71
- Rubin - $80.71
- Subtotal: $0
We have enough monies! Kelly is ordering stuff.
Development queue
When we get this all together and actually mix up the chems, we will want to try to use them up within a week or so. Given this, it's good if we have a little backlog of slide film ready to develop before we mix up the chems. If you have slide film you've shot (or can commit to shoot soon, add a date) you can add yourself to the development queue here. (I understand the batch should be good for ~15-20 rolls? Jas can probably comment. --Hurtstotouchfire 17:58, 24 June 2011 (UTC))
- Kelly - 3 rolls
- 2 rolls Kodak e100VS, shot.
- 1 roll Fuji Velvia 100, shooting this weekend in Indiana
Donating film
If you'd like to donate some slide film or $$ towards slide film that may be helpful for people who don't already have a backlog of E6 film to develop.
E6 examples and recommendations
If you're just looking for advice on what film to get, you can check out what other people have been shooting, above. Unfortunately slide film is a bit more expensive than color negative film, running about $8/roll for 36 exposures on 35mm. It's lovely though. I know that Joachim and Jas can probably provide more examples (links, guys?), but my flickr feed has a few shots which were E6 processed slide film. --Hurtstotouchfire 17:58, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Clevr needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
need a logo for my software company
I need a logo for my company's website. The company name is Clevr Software.
I want it to be suitable in a corporate setting. I'm thinking to have either just one word "Clevr" or 2 words "Clevr Software". For the 2-word version, the word "Software" stands below "Clevr" and 2 words have equal width. In either version, I like the word "Clevr" in a wide font (like oracle's logo). Also, only the first letter is capital. However, all the above are just rough thoughts, I'm totally open to ideas.
none yet

When the C4 Corvette was introduced to the public in 1983 as an '84 model, it ushered in a new technological era for the marque. The car relied heavily on electronic controls for everything from fuel and spark management to comfort-and-convenience items such as the air-conditioning and sound systems. Unfortunately, like any new computer-driven device, the C4 soon began bedeviling technicians with an onslaught of baffling problems. Unable to solve these glitches on their own, the techs called the Bowling Green assembly facility for answers. The volume of calls got so large, it forced plant management to create the Corvette Action Center.
Longtime plant employee and electrical wizard Gordon Killebrew was selected to become a member of the Center. Killebrew quickly became a legend among Chevrolet dealers. He was able to solve problems in an hour-long phone conversation that technicians had been unable to conquer in a week. It wasn't long before customers discovered the Action Center's 800 number and began calling him directly.
So, what is it that makes Killebrew so special? We decided to find out more about this '07 National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame inductee.
Gordon Killebrew was born on a farm in Hillview, Illinois, where he learned how to fix all manner of mechanical equipment. After a stint in the Army, he went to work in Chevrolet's St. Louis assembly plant in September 1963. He was soon transferred onto the Corvette team, where he would remain for the rest of his career.
Years later, Killebrew traveled to Bowling Green to serve on the transition team overseeing the relocation of the Corvette factory. The new plant started producing Vettes in the middle of the 1981 production run, and Killebrew helped build the first car. With his uncanny knack for troubleshooting electrical gremlins, he soon developed a reputation as the plant's resident electrical expert.
When the C4 was undergoing development, Killebrew helped write the car's service manual. He went on to pen almost 80 percent of the technical service bulletins issued for the Fourth-gen model. Killebrew's other notable C4 accomplishments include helping develop the ZR-1's electrical system and contributing to the creation of that car's service manual. He became so popular with marque enthusiasts that plant management gave him new Corvettes to take to various car shows. Once there, he fielded technical questions and even fixed attendees' vehicles at no charge.
When Killebrew retired in September 1993, he and his wife, Chris, started For Your Car Inc., a phone-in consulting service providing repair advice (for a fee) to Corvette owners and technicians. In 1995, he began construction of "Gordon's School," an instructional facility that provides "classroom and hands-on troubleshooting instruction for '84-'96 C4 Corvettes." Classes began in 1997, and former Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McLellan was one of the first students. The school is equipped with every electrical connector ever used in a C4, along with two fully operating instrument panels used to help students develop their troubleshooting skills.
Today, Killebrew continues to answer phone calls, hold his C4 schools, and puts on Fourth-gen seminars at Corvette shows all over America, Canada, and Europe. When McLellan presented Killebrew with his HOF award, he told the audience, "I have never met anyone with a memory like Gordon Killebrew. He was like our high-powered computer before we had computers. He is the finest Corvette ambassador I have had the privilege of knowing."

–President Barack Obama, the Proclamation declaring November as Military Family Month, Nov. 1, 2012
November 2012 Proclaimed Military Family Month
President Obama signed a presidential proclamation on Nov. 1, 2012, designating November as Military Family Month and calling on all Americans to "serve our Armed Forces and their families as well as they serve us." Referring to their families' hardships, he stated, "With loved ones serving far from home, military spouses take on the work of two. Their children show courage and resilience as they move from base to base, school to school, home to home."
The proclamation also makes reference to the Joining Forces efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden. Through Joining Force, they have mobilized Americans to support members of the military and their families, with a focus on connecting veterans and their spouses to the resources they need to find jobs upon returning home.
President Obama concluded the proclamation by saying, "This month, we reaffirm that we will always lift up our military families — not just when their loved ones are away, but also long after the welcome home ceremonies are over."
To read the proclamation and learn more, go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/11/01/presidential-proclamation-military-family-month-2012 and http://www.navytimes.com/news/2012/11/military-obama-proclaims-military-family-month-110112w/.
Michelle Obama on Her Passion to "Make It Right" for Military Families
"With the war in Iraq over and U.S. troops withdrawing from Afghanistan, first lady Michelle Obama has made it her mission to support America's servicemen and women returning from a decade of conflict. … Mrs. Obama admitted that, like most Americans, she had little personal connection to the sacrifices of the military community. … Citing the hardships of multiple deployments and frequent family moves, the First Lady said that she was 'floored by the stories that I heard.'"
"So in April 2011, the First Lady and Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, decided to act, forming 'Joining Forces,' to bring attention to the unique needs and strengths of America's soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. As the nation continues to recover from the recession, the initiative works to connect servicemen and women, veterans and military spouses with the resources and training they need to find jobs. … So Joining Forces has partnered with nursing schools and medical associations to train medical professionals to be aware of the mental health issues affecting military families." The above is from an article on Nightline's October 2012 interview of First Lady Michelle Obama. To access the article of Oct. 12, 2012, by Mary Bruce, go to http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/michelle-obama-passion-make-military-families/story?id=17425412.
Joining Forces' Commitment to Train Teachers to Serve Military Children
At George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on Oct. 3, 2012, Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, and Chief of Staff of the Army General Ray Odierno joined military families to celebrate that more than 100 colleges of education have signed on to Operation Educate the Educators – a Joining Forces' commitment to better prepare educators to meet the needs of military children. Key partners in this effort are the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and the Military Child Education Coalition, and both were represented at the October event. Biden spoke of the importance of support for military families and how this partnership will make a significant difference in military children's lives. "Last year, the partners set a Joining Forces goal of getting 100 colleges of education to commit to raising awareness on their campuses about military children in their classrooms and to help better prepare teachers to support them. … it means so much to a military family when a teacher makes a special effort to support a military child in school. … Our military families sacrifice so much, and we owe it to them to support them in every way possible. That is why the First Lady and I started Joining Forces, a national effort to encourage all Americans to support military families. Today, I was honored to celebrate a very meaningful Joining Forces commitment that will make a difference in the lives of our military children."

ED Honored Vets on Nov. 13th
To celebrate Military Family Month and Veterans Day, the Department of Education (ED) honored veterans working at the Department at its "Honoring All Who Served" Program on Nov. 13, 2012. Guest speakers included Rosye B. Cloud, director of policy for Veterans, Wounded Warriors, and Military Families at the White House; and Karen Gross, senior policy advisor in the Department's Office of the Under Secretary, who shared on the Department's initiatives serving veterans and their families. The keynote speaker was Brig. Gen. Barrye Price, director of the Human Resources Policy Directorate. In addition, for Veterans Day and Military Family Month, the Department's website featured Veterans Day Learning Resources. Links were provided to material on the history of Veterans Day and common traditions to celebrate this important day. You can find these links and more on the Department's HOMEROOM Blog of Nov. 9th at http://www.ed.gov/blog/2012/11/ed-resources-honor-those-who-serve/.
OVAE Offers Tool Kit With Help for Veterans Pursuing Further Education and Training
In July 2012, President Obama announced a major overhaul to the transition assistance program that helps service members and spouses reintegrate into their communities. To assist in the transition from military life to civilian life, the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) at ED developed the Adult College Completion Tool Kit, which includes a special section titled "Veterans: Five Steps to Prepare for College." This section provides guidance and suggests resources to veterans and their spouses to assist them in making informed decisions about their options for further education and training. To learn more, go to http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ovae/resource/adult-college-completion-tool-kit.pdf. Look specifically for "Appendix D. Veterans: Five Steps to Prepare for College," page 57.
VOW to Hire Heroes Act Provides Education and Training Opportunities for Veterans
President Obama signed into law the Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 to provides "seamless transition for Servicemembers," including expanded education and training opportunities for veterans and their spouses. For more information on the VOW Act, go to http://benefits.va.gov/vow/index.htm. One program established under this law is the Transition Assistance Program at the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. It provides service members and their spouses the opportunity to learn about the initial transition from military service to the civilian workplace, with workshops about job searches, career decision-making, current occupational and labor market conditions, writing a resume, and more. The new TAP was crafted through a wide interagency effort that included the Department of Education and will be taught under the auspices of three agencies: the departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Labor. The program was pilot tested in summer 2012 and launched as required by law on Nov. 21, 2012. For additional information on the transition assistance program, visit http://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/tap/tap_fs.htm.
Online Assistance About the Interstate Compact Is Now Available
The Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission has developed a digital guide for parents, school officials, and public administrators on the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. The colorful 10-page guide provides information on what the interstate compact is, how it can help military families, the specific impacts on children, what parents need to know to enable an easier transition if their children are transferring between school districts and states and the schools' responsibilities in the transition process. The guide can be found at MIC3 Digital Guide and will work on mobile devices and IPads. Hard copies are not available at this time. For more information about the guide, please contact Richard Pryor at the Interstate Commission on Educational Opportunities for Military Children at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 859-244-8133.
Resource Guides on Supporting Military Children in School
Under the auspices of the Building Capacity project – a consortium that includes the Department of Defense Education Activity – in October 2012, the Teachers College Press at Columbia University released four resource guides on supporting military children in school. "Each guide is based on research and written specifically for teachers, school administrators, pupil personnel, and parents. … The Building Capacity Resource Guide books outline how school professionals and parents can create a supportive school setting that helps military children thrive and provide … practical strategies that can be implemented to make students feel welcome and connected." For a detailed description of each guide visit: http://buildingcapacity.usc.edu/research/guides-detailed-trial.html.

DoDEA Chairs Department of Defense (DoD) Educational Functional Community
DoDEA is conducting an environmental scan to find out how DoD supports education within its community by examining trends, issues, and challenges related to its workforce. DoD's educational approach encourages programs that focus on the whole individual's learning and developmental continuum from birth to adulthood. This study is intended to ensure that DoD is providing the highest quality education opportunities through its Child Development and Youth Programs, DoDEA K-12 schools, and DoD Civilian and Military Adult Professional Education Institutions (Leadership Learning and Development). DoDEA chairs an Educational Functional Community Working Group that is developing strategies to improve the DoD educational workforce. For more information, contact Deborah Donnelly, 571-372-5824.
DoDEA Invests in STEM Programs
Through STEM projects, partnerships are formed that provide opportunities for students of all backgrounds to excel in and to be exposed to professionals with Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics (STEM) backgrounds. The idea is that exposure and opportunities for experience increase the potential in students, especially for girls and under-represented minorities, to develop foundational skills in STEM and excitement for the importance of these fields. For more information about the STEM program, contact Kim Day, 571-272-5868.
Non-DoD Schools Program Provides Assistance
DoDEA serves military-connected overseas families who are not located near a DoD school through the Non-DoD Schools Program (NDSP). NDSP provides military families with financial assistance and transition support to approximately 3,000 families to defray the costs of education for school-aged children. NDSP supports a variety of options for school-aged children, ranging from home school programs to online and virtual schools as well as public and private schools opportunities.

Background Interleukin-34 (IL-34) was identified through a functional screening of a library of secreted proteins after transfection of an embryonic kidney cell line with recombinant cDNAs. Flow cytometry and monocyte viability assays demonstrated increased survival and/or proliferation of monocytes induced by IL-34 and specific binding of IL-34 to CD14+ monocytes. IL-34 is a second ligand to the colony stimulating factor (CSF)-1 receptor in addition to CSF1. Like CSF1, IL-34 stimulates phosphorylation of ERK1 and ERK2 in human monocytes and induces differentiation of bone marrow cells into macrophages. Despite its predicted molecular weight, IL-34 will often run at higher molecular weight in SDS-PAGE.

North Creek Wetlands Overview
The University of Washington Bothell – Cascadia Community College campus houses one of the largest and most complex floodplain restorations in Washington State. Begun in 1997 with the construction of campus, this ecological restoration is a bold attempt to restore the lower part of the North Creek stream channel and 58 acres of pastureland to a sustainable, functioning floodplain ecosystem within an urbanizing watershed. The project is unique in the degree to which fundamental theories of ecosystem and restoration ecology were utilized in the design and are being employed in the management of the site.
Diligent maintenance combined with thoughtful design has helped make this wetland a regionally-recognized success story. Just seven years after finishing planting, the wetland met 100% of the ten-year project objectives. It is already home to a rich mosaic of plants and animals, providing a living laboratory for the study of wetland ecosystems and restoration. K-12 and college classes from around the Puget Sound region have visited, while local scientists use the site to study nature and its recovery.
Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory
The Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory (SSGC) was completed in the summer of 2013. This complex on the western edge of the wetlands houses a greenhouse, classroom, and support space for education and research. Surrounding the SSGC are raised beds for demonstration of native plantings and experimental plots, as well as facilities for raising native plants for ongoing management of the wetlands. The SSGC provides a dynamic center for environmental learning and a portal to the campus wetlands.

Learn about the Wetlands
You may begin a virtual exploration of the North Creek Wetlands on the Learn about the Wetlands web page. We also invite you to come experience the wetlands from the paved trail around the edge or the boardwalk that leads to the banks of North Creek. Further access into the campus wetlands is carefully regulated and balanced with protection of this recovering ecosystem. Follow the links on this page to read about the wetlands in more detail and learn how you can visit in general, experience the wetlands as a student, use the wetlands in teaching a class, or do research in the wetlands. You may also wish to browse the Wetlands Electronic Archive that houses over 1,000 wetlands photographs (available for academic use), videos about the wetlands, and detailed technical documents on the design, construction, and monitoring of the wetlands.

The Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Chestnut Hill, brought the Christmas season to a close Sunday, Jan. 6, with a Choral Evensong on the Feast of the Epiphany. In music by Max Reger, William Smith, Ivor Atkins, Peter Aston, Felix Mendelssohn and Louis Vierne, the parish's music director, Erik Meyer, led his choir and played the organ in celebration of Christ's Manifestation to the Gentiles in the Adoration of the Magi on the 12th and final day of Christmastide.
The musical program's major works were two by Aston — his "Magnificat" and "Nunc Dimittis" — and Mendelssohn's anthem, "When Jesus, Our Lord, was born in Bethlehem." Meyer at the organ and his singers projected the straightforward declamation of the "Magnificat" (My soul doth magnify the Lord) and caught the gentle acceptance of the "Nunc Dimittis" (Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart in peace) through singing and playing of refined yet expressive lyricism and contrapuntal blend. The Mendelssohn was no less praiseworthy for the fine singing of soprano Krystiane Cooper, tenor Matthew Vickers, baritone Jerome Brandt and bass John Wentz.
Most impressive of all was Meyer's performance of the final movement from Vierne's "Organ Symphony No. 2." Without diminishing the undeniable impact of the score's tawdrier moments, he maintained so steady a flow of the work's unfolding thematic development through inspired registrations that what can sometimes sound like slightly more than enjoyable junk morphed into serious romantic music. As an organist, myself, I was mightily impressed — technically, of course, but even more so musically.
The Philadelphia Orchestra's Verizon Hall concert of Saturday, Jan. 12, might best be described as Mozart-times-three-minus-one. The program offered three scores but was performed without a conductor. It was one of those musical experiments that looked a tad better on paper than it sounded in performance.
The evening's music-making got underway with perhaps Mozart's most famous work, the "Serenade in G major," subtitled "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (A Little Night Music). Then England's Imogen Cooper was the soloist in the "Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor." After intermission, the short second half featured the "Symphony No. 25 in G minor." Concertmaster David Kim was listed as "leader" in the Serenade and Symphony, while Cooper was the "leader" (from the keyboard) for the Concerto.
While there's a certain superficial appeal to presenting concerts of Mozart's music in the manner in which they were performed during the composer's lifetime — that is, without the benefit of a conductor on a podium — it's a far more daunting challenge than most fully appreciate or can pull of efficaciously. Musicians in Mozart's day were not just accustomed to relying on either their concertmaster or the soloist to lead the ensemble; they were trained for that reality because that's the way it was always done.
However, the absence of an individual interpretive personality during Saturday's concert was painfully apparent most of all in "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik." The small contingent of string players, led by concertmaster David Kim, seemed to expend their focus more on keeping together and avoiding any mishaps of ensemble than on offering their audience any discernible level of expressive music-making. And without anyone to cue them regarding the appropriate balances to be struck by each section of violins, violas, cellos and basses, those balances drifted in and out of effective delineation.
Cooper struck me as spending most of her efforts attempting to keep her American Steinway concert grand from turning the Mozart Concerto into one by Rachmaninoff, the instrument's natural habitat. If ever there was a time when the pianist should have been playing a Viennese Bosendorfer, this was it.
Only the Symphony No. 25 came off effectively Saturday evening. Here the Philadelphians allowed themselves — and trusted themselves — to make music beautifully, dramatically and expressively.

How to Streamline Reports with SharePoint 2010
Reports come in all sizes, shapes, and formats. By putting together a couple of SharePoint 2010 system components, a developer can help simplify a business's reporting processes for everyone in the organization, whether users need to create or review reports:
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) provides a platform for reporting that's tightly integrated with the SharePoint platform.
SharePoint itself provides end users with a report-development tool — Report Builder — that they can launch right from the SharePoint portal.
Reports can be stored and viewed at the appropriate time from the SharePoint portal — in the browser.
Consolidating the reporting function to SharePoint provides one central place that all users can go to access, read, develop, or deposit reports. It's a self-service approach, and probably the wave of the future: No longer does a report have to morph into a little project with its own complex development cycles; business analysts and technically adept report developers need no longer strain to translate each other's jargon.
Empowering the users who have the knowledge saves money by reducing project expense. When the business users are empowered with tools that the IT department can govern, it's win-win for both teams and a cost reduction for the company.
SharePoint provides self-serve reporting not only through Report Builder but also through content management features: Users can check reports in and out, rest assured that there's only one version they have to deal with; see the report as an expected task in a workflow; and restrict access to the report to keep it secure. The whole process is more coherent from stem to stern.

Software for Manufacturing
Better Nesting for that New Fiber Laser
Nesting capabilities from its new sheetmetal CAD/CAM software have proved so impressive at Altex Engineering, a UK contract sheetmetal fabricator and precision machining company, that it has created a new role for shop-floor worker Martin Brewer. Brewer now works almost exclusively developing nests for the firm's Salvagnini fiber laser and LVD turret-punch press.
"Due to the nature of the subcontract industry, our priorities change daily," says Altex managing director Adrian Brewer. "It's Martin's job to produce the best nests for that particular moment and use as little material as possible."
The nesting software of choice: Radan, from Planit Holdings and Vero Software. Radan symbols are created in the office, and then Martin takes the live job on the shop floor producing the nests for that day.
The twin-pallet Salvagnini L1Xe fiber laser cuts several different grades of steel, along with titanium, tungsten, Inconel and aluminum—including 1050A, which conventional CO2 lasers find difficult to cut. "The low wavelength of the fiber laser means it can easily cut highly reflective materials such as brass and annealed copper," says Adrian.
Previously, nesting for the laser was handled in the Altex engineering office, and often meant producing nests well ahead of delivery dates. Standard nests were created, leading to a number of pre-lasered parts held in stock and allowing remnants to build up.
"That has all changed," says Adrian. "It's a very dynamic operation now, with Martin being right at the sharp end on the shop floor. He gets around 85-percent material utilization, which, for some of the unusual shapes we cut, is extremely good. Radan helps him use every piece of material he possibly can—if there's space on a sheet, he'll fill it." This strategy has helped reduce raw-material stock at the company.
When it comes time to decide whether to route work to the laser or to the firm's turret-punch press, the firm finds some jobs too intricate to punch, and it wouldn't laser-cut a job with hundreds of holes. "Also, some jobs might run on both machines," says Adrian. "Where there are intricate profiles, we'll form on the punch first, then bring the part over to the laser, and using its positional sensors to pick up on the holes and sheet edges we'd then cut around those." Some larger panels would be laser-cut first, then moved to the punch to produce extra holes.
Where bending is required, parts are forwarded to the firm's LVD and Bystronic press brakes, driven by Radan's Radbend software module. Radbend provides Altex with several benefits, including the ability to help understand where it's feasible to fold certain parts rather than weld.Vero Software: 248/869-4040; www.vero-software.com, www.radan.com

His contributions to our company have been significant, and the entire Sears Holdings family wishes Lou and his family the very best."
Mr. Lampert added, "In light of Lou's decision to step down, the Board feels it is important that there is continuity of leadership during this important period of transformation and improvement at Sears Holdings. I have agreed to assume these additional responsibilities in order to continue the company's recovery and sustain the momentum we are experiencing, as well as further the development of the management team under the distributed leadership model, which provides our business unit leaders with greater control, authority and autonomy. Working closely with the Board, management and our dedicated associates, we will remain focused on executing our goals, improving operations and building sustainable long-term value for shareholders.

05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...
