Apple introduced the A4 chip in the original iPad and iPhone 4 devices. The chip caused quite an uproar because it was a huge step forward with Apple taking charge of it's own chips. Apple then continued the progress by using the A5 chips in iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Quite naturally, all Apple enthusiasts were now expecting that Apple will introduce an A6 chip in the iPad 3 which is all set to be launched by Apple next month. But now, a photo leaked by a website claims that iPad 3 will feature an A5X chip, rather than A6.
With the expected launch of iPad 3 just around the corner, the rumors have been gaining traction and a lot of sources are making a lot of claims which are unsubstantiated. This latest claim is also based on thin ice but the photo released by the website who made the claim does seem to make sense.
Two things can be said about this A5X chip which appears in the photo. First of all, this may be what it sounds like: a step-wise transition from A5 to A6 by the introduction of an A5X chip which falls somewhere mid-way of both. This is further fueled by other evidence that we have. For instance, the processor part number of A4 was S5L8930X, that of A5 was S5L8940X and now the part number of the processor of iPad 3 is S5L8945X. So the assumption that maybe A5X is a transition between A5 and A6 is quite convincing.
However, the other possibility is that A5X is merely the code-name that Apple assigned to the chip for iPad 3 earlier. And when the device is released, who knows, the chip may no longer be A5X but rather be A6. But then, this theory doesn't have any strong enough argument to support it.
Whatever proves true, will eventually be revealed soon, hopefully in the first week of March.

Federici Rejects Contract Offer
27 May 2015
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici has rejected offers of a new contract from Reading Football club and now looks set to leave when his contract expires this summer. Newly promoted Premier League side Bournemouth are set to complete the signing of Federici on a free transfer and offer the player a three year contract. Federici joins Yakubu, Zat Knight, Jure Travner, Danny Guthrie, Ryan Edwards, and young goalkeepers Dan Lincoln and Jonathan Henly out of the door as the squad continues to slim as the club cuts the playing staff and the wage bill.
It seems the club were unable to offer Federici enough incentive to keep him at the club, while Bournemouth have spare funds despite yesterday's signing of goalkeeper Artur Boruc on a one-year deal from Southampton. There is a high chance that Federici will only be second choice goalkeeper for the Cherries - but he still opted for the move, the money, and another attempt at playing in England's top tier.
After releasing, or failing to negotiate new terms, with three goalkeepers, a new stopper must be top of Steve Clarke's list on the limited funds he has available to him. Mikkel Andersen has yet to receive a contract offer from the club and could also be set to leave. You'd have to assume that Federici's departure will see the club step up efforts to give Andersen a new contract and retain his services at the club.
With a serious lack of money, it seems Reading are seriously struggling with contract negotiations. Alex Pearce is also out of contract this summer and is now being linked with a move to Championship rivals Leeds United. Jem Karacan is in a similar position and the details of any new contract between him and the club have not been confirmed.
The squad, already much smaller, is set to reduce further - and that's before any offers for contracted players come in. 19 year old Tariqe Fosu is currently subject of transfer rumours despite his entire Reading career being only 60 minutes during Reading's 3-0 win at Derby on the last day of the season. Aston Villa and Newcastle are being linked with the player. Meanwhile, there has been no talk of improving the squad with a boost of much needed new players.
Reading fans will wish player of the season Adam Federici good luck at Bournemouth after a long stay with the Royals. Federici has spent his entire career at Reading with the exception of a ten game loan spell at Southend in 2008. He signed as a professional ten years ago in the summer of 2005 and went on to make 245 appearances for the Royals.

The Libertines and McBusted headlined the British Summer Time music festival in London's Hyde Park at the weekend, however not everyone was happy with the event.
A number of fans took to Twitter, voicing their complaints as the festival's second stage closed due to health and safety concerns, just hours before The Libertines were forced to halt their set following safety concerns.
The first of the festival's problems occurred on Saturday, when the Theatre Stage shut early, meaning sets from Swim Deep and Blur's Graham Coxon were cancelled.
Festival organisers tweeted: "BARCLAYCARD THEATRE is currently closed due to technical issues. Head down to Spiritualized playing now! We'll update with news."
However, fans were given little information about new plans, with concert-goers hoping to see Swim Deep being directed to the wrong stage, before Graham's set was cancelled completely.
The stage remained shut on Sunday, leaving 5ive and Lawson fans disappointed, as both band's appearances were cancelled.
the sound was so poor yesterday
swim deep was cancelled
they should of organised a billion times better which is disappointing— eb (@eleanxra) July 6, 2014
Lots of angry customers at Hyde Park... Second stage been shut due to safety... 5ive & Lawson been cancelled... I wanted 5ive— Jon Hornbuckle (@JonHornbuckle) July 6, 2014
There were also issues on the main stage, where Carl Barat and Peter Doherty's band were forced to halt their Saturday night set when concerns were raised over crowd safety.
The Libertines stopped halfway through 'Boys In The Band' before Pete told fans: "We can't carry on if you don't calm down a bit."
A number of fans were pulled over the front barriers and out of the audience while the band urged everyone to move back and create more space at the front.
On Sunday evening, McBusted headlined, where they were watched by celebs including Cara Delevingne and Ellie Goulding, who hot-footed it across London following her set at Wireless Festival.

In recent weeks, the most talked about events in the news have been the rapidly growing threat of ISIS, with the beheadings of two American journalists, in the Middle East and the controversial death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Both of these current events have caused quite the stir amongst the American people with all, if not most of us, looking to our leader, President Obama, for some form of poise and guidance to help get America back on its feet and moving forward with confident solutions.
But I woke up this morning to see polling numbers from The Fox News Poll, conducted on September 7th through the 9th, saying that only 38% of Americans approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president while 56% (Likely Voters) and 57% (Registered Voters) disapprove, with 6% answering "don't know." This should be troubling to most of Americans to see how much disapproval and indecisiveness there is for our president leading our nation. The 38% approval rating matches its all-time low and even more shockingly, for the first time in 10 years, American voters feel the country is less safe today than it was before 9/11. With midterm elections coming up in under two months, no wonder President Obama is going on air tonight to deliver his reported "ISIS speech" to finally tell us about a strategy moving forward.
Regardless of my political party affiliation, I hope the President uses tonight's speech to not only pro-actively address the ISIS threat and how, as a country, we are going to defeat said threat, but also try to unite the country to the best of his ability in a time of much crisis. The poll also reported that the American people believe Barack Obama is weak and indecisive and isn't willing to do what it takes to defeat ISIS. The amount of doubt amongst Americans is truly worrisome and says something about him as the leader at our nation's helm. If there is any time for Mr. Obama to step up and lead the people and our country, it's now.
But most importantly, I hope President Obama takes this opportunity to begin reviving his own brand and try to reconnect with the American people to prove that he can get the country back on track and going in the right direction. One of the many dangers of companies, brands, and even Presidents in this example is that they can lose touch with their audience, customers, and the overall public. This type of disconnect creates doubt, concerns, and sometimes even fear. Tonight, I hope the President speaks to rebuild trust, confidence, and guidance in Washington and in the United States with a direction that will result in greater safety for our nation and its people.

General Motors announced a recall of 1.3 million cars on Tuesday for problems related to power steering in 4 North American compact car models.
The recall covers the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit (sold in Canada), and 2005-2006 Pontiac G4 (sold in Mexico).
"After our in-depth investigation, we found that this is a condition that takes time to develop," Jamie Hresko, GM Vice President of Quality, said in a statement released this morning. "It tends to occur in older models out of warranty. Recalling these vehicles is the right thing to do for our customers' peace of mind."
The voluntary recall comes after the National Highway and Traffic Safety administration concluded an investigation beginning on Jan. 27, 2009 into 905,000 Cobalt models after receiving over 1,100 complaints of loss of power steering assist, 14 crashes and one injury.
Owners reported failures that went away after restarting the car.
"Power steering started to go out occasionally," said one complaint filed February 18 of this year on a 2005 Chevy Cobalt. "It would come back on if I turned off and restarted the car. Quickly became more frequent."
GM has said that drivers can still control the affected models in the event of loss of power steering assist, though controlling the cars may require greater steering effort under 15mph.
"While greater steering effort under 15 mph may be required, if the customer experiences loss of power steering assist, it is important to note that the vehicle can still be safely controlled because the customer can still steer the vehicle," Hresko said. "When the condition occurs, both a chime will sound and a 'Power Steering' message will be displayed."
GM has not announced a remedy yet, but has noted that plans are being developed and that customers will be notified when the plan is finalized.
Automotive recalls are nothing new, but their reception as of late has been extremely hostile. The GM recall comes at a time in which lapses in automotive quality are met with extreme scrutiny, especially by the U.S. government.
Last week, Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda appeared in front of a House Committee in Washington, D.C. to testify and apologize for safety issues related to several Toyota models.
Owners of the recalled cars can contact their dealer or GM directly at their owner center website http://www.gm.com/gmownercenter/gm/.

Term Paper of Dbbl
To finance their investments firms use retained earnings, new borrowings or the issue of stock. The financing decision involves i) dividend and ii) the capital structure.
Dividend policy involves the decision to pay out earnings versus retaining them for reinvestment in the firm, and dividend policy decisions can have either favorable or unfavorable effects on the price of a firm's stock. Cash distributions are made to stockholders form the firm's earnings, whether those earnings were generated in the current period or in previous periods.
Origin of the Report:
During this semester of Summer 2010 in MBA program of East West University, we are required to submit a term paper in the course Corporate Finance: "An Appraisal of Dividend Policy and Capital Structure of An Organization". We have chosen PRAN for our term project.
Objectives of the Report:
The general objective is to prepare and submit the term project within specified time by having an idea and over viewing the PRAN, their Dividend Policy and their Capital Structure.
Scope of the Report:
The scope is limited to over viewing PRAN their dividend policy and the Capital Structure they have adopted for their organization.
Limitations of the Study:
Secondary data were used in this study as result it may differ from actual data. As a group, we have also faced some difficulties in compiling and discussing it due to unavailability of all members at the same time. The absence of solid and verse knowledge about dividend policy is absent and we have taken it as an addition in our learning curve.
The report is originated from secondary data sources-
1. The Company's Annual Report
2. DES website
3. Different Articles from Internet
4. Other related websites

Pool Deck Resurfacing Fremont
Fremont Pool Deck Resurfacing
Why is it that an outdoor living space increases your property value? There are many reasons ; the first is that it jacks up your available living space. Whenever the weather is nice you will have a place to let the children play or the pets sun themselves. You will be in a position to sip your morning coffee or a frosty cold drink encircled by the outdoors. Your extended living space provides a place for a potted herb garden and beautiful flowers, while keeping them close to the house to enjoy and use. Put your grill out there and that new fire pit you bought. Both are very good additions to the area too. You'll find masses of arguments to be outdoors in this special spot.
Secondly, when it's time to amuse, this is your space. If you have furnished your area with comfortable seating, and a terrific grill, along with a mini cooler or an ice bath, you can entertain more guests with fewer hassles. Make boogying outdoors a straightforward pleasure. Cleanup is less complicated and people relax and have some fun when they're outside. If it has easy accessibility to the kitchen a deck is an ideal place for summer entertaining. You can combine food and fun with much less hassle. Move with ease between where you have supplies and where your guests are. You can see them and socialize while doing preparation work. Dependent on your local climate you'll anticipate using it about year around. Carry your indoor decorating and vacation themes to this more protected out of doors space.

A 3rd reason is if your home is an older home you can give it an update by adding outside living space. It modernises the appearance of the entire property when you do this. Building an outdoor room without walls is more cost-effective than a new interior room. Materials that are on the market can reflect the first type of the house but also be straightforward care. Use sturdy materials that are simple care to have the best results with the least effort. Invest in cosy furniture and you will be in a position to have a mini holiday or retreat whenever you've got the time. At resale time this is certainly a selling point.
Enjoying your house is also about getting the real benefit of your acquisition. Nothing makes a yard more accessible and encourages outside enjoyment than a yard deck. The right deck for you and also your yard is a private journey you do as a home-owner. How gigantic should it be? How do I plan on using the space once it is built? Will this build increase my home price and the cultured appeal?
The Products We Have in Fremont Are:

As an investment, the options for materials are also larger than previously. Recycled wood for the environmentally conscious, synthetic wood that does not need much or any maintenance, and a range of stone for accents or design elements are all favored options today. A new deck installation in Fremont is a work of art as much as a functional surface. Properly built and matched to the space, a new living space is created in your yard that will add a strong appeal to your home for any future customers.
Pool Deck Resurfacing in Fremont – Select a Pro!
A rear yard deck in Fremont could be a family oasis, an escape from work and a bonding experience. Sitting together on the back deck enjoying the spring weather and cooking out for pals make a simple deck an essential piece of social networking. It takes out of the equation many supposed house rules which make people uncertain of the way to behave. No question of if we sit on the furniture or have to take our shoes off. Having a deck means that a man and his chums have a place to go to be men and not have to stress about lager stains or low table coasters. The deck is a simpler set of social rules that makes the host the center of an excellent time and not the tyrant of the estate.
An attractive square of grass is merely a start for a backyard. Without a deck a yard is inviting without an offer of welcome. Installing a deck claims to anyone that enters the back yard this is a special place that we worth and here a great spot to sit because we value your presence. A place to sit, access to out of doors facilities like shade, comfy hearths, out of doors cooking, and perhaps even access to that out of doors pool complete along with privacy fencing.

Green Fee may get change of scenery
NEW ORLEANS - When a horse goes from a close fifth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Mile to a close fifth-place finish in an ungraded stakes race, it can leave the trainer scratching his head.
Danny Peitz wasn't actually doing any scratching Wednesday morning in his Fair Grounds barn office, but he has been doing plenty of mulling over when and where Green Fee will make his next start. Winner of the Grade 2 Kelso and beaten less than two lengths in the Breeders' Cup to finish his 2002 season, Green Fee finished fifth at odds of 6-5 here Jan. 5 in the $75,000 Colonel E. R. Bradley.
Even before that race, Peitz wondered if Green Fee would be the same horse this winter as he was last fall, when he thrived racing around one turn at Belmont Park.
"In those one-turn races you'll almost always get a legitimate pace, and that's what he needs," Peitz said.
Green Fee hadn't raced in 10 weeks before the Bradley, but Peitz said he thought his horse went into the race with an adequate level of fitness. But with a dearth of pace in the race, Green Fee wound up close to the early leaders, and after looming at the top of the stretch he flattened out.
"That's not how he wants to run," Peitz said, "and I'm not convinced he's in love with this turf course. He's won on it before, but he's disappointed me enough times that I wonder how much he likes it."
With that in mind, Peitz hasn't committed Green Fee to a start in the Fair Grounds Breeders' Cup here on Feb. 1. Peitz will consider that spot, but said Green Fee also is possible for the Connally Breeders' Cup at Sam Houston on Feb. 15.
"I hate to ship anytime, but we're thinking about it," Peitz said. "I've never run a horse there, but I've heard for years what a nice grass course they have."
Learned goes on grass if race fills
Trainer Bobby Barnett wavered between running the promising older horse Learned in a turf allowance race Friday or the Diplomat Way Handicap on dirt here Sunday. He eventually settled on the grass race, only to find late Wednesday morning that the race had failed to attract sufficient entries and wouldn't make it onto Friday's program.
Fair Grounds officials said they would bring the race back during Thursday's entries for Saturday, and Learned will be back in it, but if the race fails to fill again Learned will end up in the Diplomat Way, Barnett said.
Learned, who returned from a long layoff in Kentucky this past fall, would already have started at this meet had he not come down with an upper-respiratory infection days before he was to have been entered in the Louisiana Handicap. Learned recovered quickly from his illness and on Tuesday had his second workout since missing training time, breezing a half-mile in 49.40 seconds.
Learned has never raced on turf, but Barnett said he had long ago considered a grass start for the gelding.
"The way he runs, and with his female family, we thought turf would be a good spot for him," Barnett said.
A turf race could set Learned up for the Feb. 9 Whirlaway Handicap on dirt, or Learned could make his stakes debut here Sunday in the Diplomat Way. If he does, Learned will face another impressive allowance horse, Mineshaft, who could be a narrow favorite over Discreet Hero. Discreet Hero was beaten a nose in the Tenacious Handicap, his most recent start.
Training race report
The racing surface here was deep and slow for Wednesday's four training races; the fastest of them was timed in about 1:03, depending on which clocker was running a watch. The quickest heat was the third. That and the second were the two most notable races.
In the Ghetto won the third for trainer Dallas Stewart, showing good early speed and finishing well while running into a strong headwind. She was clear of Red Zinger and Key Approval at the finish, but Red Zinger quickly caught and passed In the Ghetto as the horses galloped out around the clubhouse turn. Neither Red Zinger, a 3-year-old from the Neil Howard barn, nor Key Approval, a 5-year-old trained by Henry Cochran, was ridden hard in the stretch but both finished up well.
Prairie Slam, a 3-year-old colt trained by Wayne Catalano, was the star of the second, which officially was given a slow time of about 1:04. Prairie Slam, who ran with front bandages, was held up at the back of the field for the first quarter-mile, but began moving wide coming off the turn and had passed everyone by the sixteenth pole. He didn't gallop out especially well, but that's okay - Prairie Slam's main work came from the quarter-pole to the finish.
In the same race, Double Slam raced under stout restraint and galloped out strongly for trainer Steve Asmussen.
* Saturday's feature, the $75,000 Crescent City Derby for Louisiana-breds at 1 1/16 miles, will attract a full field, but the race probably boils down to a rematch between Meteor Impact and Witt Ante. Meteor Impact overcame a tough trip to win the Louisiana Champions Day Juvenile in his last start. Witt Ante was second, beaten by six lengths, in the Juvenile, but returned to easily win the Louisiana Futurity here Dec. 27.

I know it seems like my images just want to move lately. And what a better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with this cute little leprechaun doing an Irish jig. I used Cuttlebug hugs and kisses embossing folder. The mat and crystal green flowers were from my stash. The sentiment was cut and printed with the Silhouette Cameo. I also cut the leprechaun with the Silhouette and used Spectrum Noir markers to color him. I used pop dots for the sentiment and an action wobble for the leprechaun (picture 2).

Never one to miss out on any major happening, internationally acclaimed sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created this sandy tribute to Suramani Pandit Raghunath Panigrahi, the doyen of Odissi music, on the Puri beach barely hours after the veteran singer's death on Sunday. The place where he paid homage to Suramani in his own inimitable style was not very off from Swargadwara, the place where the latter's mortal remains were consigned to flames in the evening.

ST. PAUL—Devan Dubnyk entered Thursday's preseason game against the Dallas Stars more concerned with the journey than the destination. "I'm excited to get in there and play a game," Dubnyk said after Thursday's morning skate. "I don't concern myself with the outcomes or anything like that. I know the things I want to work on and the things I need to get sharp on for the start of the regular season. I know the only way to do that is in games."
EAGAN, Minn.—With starting left guard Nick Easton likely out for the season, starting center Pat Elflein on the Physically Unable to Perform list, and starting right guard Mike Remmers out with an ankle injury, the Vikings' offensive line has seen better days. While both Elflein and Remmers are expected to be ready for the Sept. 9 season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, the Vikings might want to considering looking at the free agent market. Here are some names they could target:
MINNEAPOLIS—It took about 10 seconds to realize Maya Moore was back at Lynx practice Monday afternoon at Mayo Clinic Square. In addition to watching the star guard score buckets seemingly at will, everyone in the gym could hear her screaming before, during and after almost every possession.
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Joel Eriksson Ek is still quite shy with the media. The 20-year-old Swede is extremely soft-spoken, usually keeping his answers short and to the point. That doesn't matter to the Wild, though, as long as Eriksson Ek does his talking on the ice. The Wild called the 6-foot-2, 200-pound center up from the minors on Wednesday's off day, and there's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center.

Op-EdSony vs. Ronald ReaganOp-Ed - RSS 2.0
In 1983, the government of the United States of America destroyed a small island in the Pacific Ocean with an experimental nuclear weapon called the MX Missile. Or rather, they would have had the missile's eight nuclear warheads been armed.
This was not the first time nuclear weapons had been dropped in the Pacific Ocean. Islands in the Marshall Range had been used by the United States Military for nuclear target practice and experimentation since 1946, most notably when Bikini Atoll was destroyed, ushering in the era of Doomsday Scenarios and sexy swimwear. Most of those tests, however, had been "live," using armed warheads.
The 1983 test of the MX missile was much more dramatic, in spite of the lack of a mushroom cloud, because it demonstrated the ability of the US Military to deploy a single missile with a payload of eight separate nuclear warheads, each more than 20 times more powerful than the bomb used at Hiroshima, anywhere in the world almost instantly. That the test warheads were not actually "live" for this test mattered little. The intended audience for this demonstration knew full well the destructive capability of those warheads. That intended audience being the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, of course, and the political fallout from this non-detonation would ultimately prove far more deadly to that country than any bomb.
The Soviet Union, having been forced to compete in a growing arms race with the US for more than thirty years, would ultimately bankrupt itself reaching for this latest prize. The Soviet's own multi-warhead missile was developed and deployed in the late eighties, but not before the long-standing conflict had already taken its toll. In 1991, Russia conceded defeat. The Soviet Union crumbled, the walls fell and Ronald Reagan and his aggressive economic and military policies took much of the credit.
I've been on the fence about who would "win" the next-gen console war for some time. Mainly because I shudder at the thought of applying such militaristic terminology to what is, essentially, a competition between entertainment companies. (Visions of half-tracks filled with armed clowns dance through my head.) But recent developments in the Sony vs. Microsoft struggle have caused me to reevaluate the situation, as parallels between the current console war and the Cold War now appear inescapable.
Take, for example, the latest news coming out of Sonyland. In an interview with PSM, Kaz Hirai states that PS3 games will be more expensive than PS2 games, but that since consumers have become accustomed to software prices hovering at or near the $59 mark, Sony would be foolish to suddenly bump them up to $99. Which sounds reasonable until you remember who you're talking about.
This is Sony; the same company that expects you to work extra hours to be able to afford the PS3. Why are they (probably) selling their new console, which is supposedly going to compete with Microsoft's Xbox360 for $600, when the Xbox 360 is available for $399? Because it's a damn expensive machine to produce, that's why. Estimates on the exact cost of the device (many of which center around the assumed costs of developing Blu-Ray players) are flying, and are all probably wrong, but it's safe to assume that Sony will be losing hundreds of dollars on every PS3.
Thing is, consoles are supposed to lose money. They are referred to as "loss leaders." The company takes a bath on the machine and recoups with licensing, software sales and merchandising. That is, after all, the name of the game game. Video game technology rides the bleeding edge and bleeding edge technology is expensive. So, you make an expensive piece of technology, sell it for a low price and once it's installed into 10 million homes, you make your money back selling people extra things they may or may not need. It's essentially the same principle behind Dell giving away a free printer with every computer. The money is in the ink. Sony's gamble on the Blu-Ray format, for example, is costing them a fortune in manufacturing alone, but they're counting on the money being in the games.
So why then would Sony be suggesting raising the software price even higher than Microsoft already raised it, when they'll be counting on the software to bring home the bacon. After all, it has to be affordable to sell, doesn't it?
Blu-Ray strikes again.
The players aren't the only expensive aspect to the new technology. Apparently, manufacturing the new discs is just as complicated. Sony claims (hopes) that wide acceptance of the format will encourage costs to diminish, but to make that happen, they have to get the players into homes so that consumers will demand more of the disks. So now we're back to the subject of loss-leaders. While they're busy taking a bath on the consoles, they can't very well also take a bath on the software. Where then, would the money come from? Where indeed.

Holland's friendly against France at the Amsterdam Arena was temporarily stopped in the 14th minute on Friday night as a mark of respect for Johan Cruyff.
With the action halted by the referee as planned, players from both sides, all wearing black armbands, took part in a minute's applause that rang around the stadium in tribute to the Dutch football great widely regarded as one of the best footballers in history.
Cruyff's image appeared on the stadium's big screen during the applause, while a large banner displayed in one of the stands simply read "Johan Thanks".
Dutch federation (KNVB) president Michael van Praag had earlier said: "I can't wait for the moment when we rename our stadium the Johan Cruyff Arena. It's the best tribute we can pay him."
Cruyff, who wore the number 14 shirt for his country and led them as captain to the 1974 World Cup final, died on Thursday at the age of 68 after losing his battle with lung cancer.
A charity match between Feyenoord, the final club he played for, and Sparta Rotterdam on Thursday was also paused in the 14th minute in his honour.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Reebok International Ltd.'s first-quarter profit rose more than 5 percent, helped by strong sales and currency benefits, the athletic footwear and apparel giant said Monday.
Reebok RBK based in Canton, Mass., saw it stock add 61 cents, or 1.5%, to finish at $42.64.
For the period ended March 31, the company said net income advanced to $43.2 million, or 70 cents a share, from $41.1 million, or 63 cents, in the same period a year earlier.
Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were looking for earnings, on average, of 69 cents a share.
Sales for the quarter gained 11% to $925 million from $831.9 million in last year's first quarter. Analysts had forecast sales at $885 million.
International sneaker sales grew 22%, or 17% in constant currency, while apparel sales increased 11%, or 7%, excluding currency effects, Reebok said.
Total global backlog of open customer scheduled for delivery from April to September for the Reebok brand increased 4% over the same period a year earlier, the company said. On a constant currency basis, worldwide backlog for the Reebok brand increased 2%.
Prudential Equity analyst Lizabeth Dunn said the results were "nicely above" her expectations, supported by strength from many of the company's offerings.
"Management noted strength in Reebok product, improvements in Iverson product, double-digit increases in basketball bookings, strong early reads on the Pump, continuing momentum in classics, and solid year-over-year improvements in running product," said Dunn in note to clients.
For fiscal 2005, the company said earnings should grow 15% over 2004, or to $3.43 a share.

Year in Review should reflect on student deaths
I am writing about your Year in Review issue [Feb. 1]. In 1990, MIT tragically lost two young men. I never met Younes Borki '92, and The Tech articles only told me about his death, not the person I missed knowing.
I was, however, very close to David G. Moore '91. On July 4, MIT lost its Dormitory Council president, and Senior House lost a former dorm president and close friend. Dave was one of the most loved and respected people in Senior House, and his death was a great loss to us all.
Much mention was given to the possible connection to LSD to his death by The Tech, but not, it seems, as a warning to others.
Anyone who takes LSD or any other drug, including alcohol, is taking a risk with his life; they can kill anyone. Drug abuse, as well as experimentation, happens in every dorm on this campus, and people should be more aware of the risks they are taking.
MIT's loss of two fine men is more important than losing money for a magnet lab. These men are not replaceable. Instead of two-sentence summaries, their short lives deserved articles in the Year in Review, along with the lessons we've learned from their deaths.

We thank Dr. Ganesh for the interest in our work.1 It was never our intention to suggest that activity limitations have no bearing on subjective well-being. Rather, it appears that the relative importance of activity limitations may be no greater than other factors such as pain, depression, and ability to participate in valued activities. To the extent existing outcome measures primarily focus on activities, they may be omitting key contributors to subjective well-being. Thus, we agree with the ongoing movement in stroke research to supplement activity-based outcome scales with other factors important to patients and families.

The largest single-build wind farm in the history of the industry has been put into full commercial operation in Kansas. The 470-MW Flat Ridge 2, jointly owned by BP Wind Energy and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power, has a total of 294 1.6-megawatt wind turbines on 66,000 acres in parts of Harper, Barber, Kingman and Sumner counties, which are south of Wichita in the southeast corner of the state. The new facility is expected to produce enough electricity to supply 140,000 homes. Kansas is ranked number two in the nation for wind energy potential. North Dakota is ranked number one. Read more

* Little House (i) *
* Little House (ii) *
Val and Phil Willy are Queensland artists and just love to sculpt. They use the Raku technique for firing. These delightful little houses have just come into the gallery - they are just so simple and sweet. The detail on the outside is just delightful and little touches on the roof with the birds etc give the pieces a very whimsical and lighthearted approach. No two are the same - once again, they are one-of-a-kind.

Foster and O'Neill to miss White House festivities celebrating St Patrick's Day
Arlene Foster will not be travelling to the United States this week for a key White House St Patrick's Day event, the DUP confirmed last night.
Instead, the DUP leader has asked her deputy Nigel Dodds to attend what the party termed as a "number of events" in Washington DC, including the Speaker's Lunch in the White House.
Sinn Fein is expected to be represented by its former president Gerry Adams after it was reported yesterday morning that neither its current leader Mary-Lou McDonald, nor its Northern Ireland leader Michelle O'Neill had been invited to the annual event, which takes place in the East Room of the White House on Thursday evening.
However, a Sinn Fein spokesman said the party expects to hear from the White House later this week.
"The issue of invites to the reception are a matter for the White House. The invite list is being finalised and we are waiting to hear from them later in the week," he said.
Ms McDonald and Ms O'Neill are currently in the US as part of a Sinn Fein delegation which includes Mr Adams.
Northern Ireland will also be represented by Secretary of State Karen Bradley, who is set to travel to the US later this week.
It's understood that the head of the NI Civil Service David Sterling will also attend the Speaker's Lunch.
The DUP added that Mrs Foster will visit the US later this year.
"DUP leader Arlene Foster MLA will not be travelling to the United States for the St Patrick's Day celebrations," a DUP spokesperson said. "Mrs Foster has received a number of invitations to meet with key influencers in Washington and New York. She plans to fulfil these later in the year.
"Mrs Foster has asked DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds MP to attend a number of events in Washington DC, including the Speaker's Lunch, on behalf of the Party. Mr Dodds will travel later this week."
The Irish Times yesterday reported that the collapse of Stormont has had an impact on whether or not local political leaders are being invited to the White House event.
There is a long-standing tradition for the White House to invite leaders of the main parties to the event, which is attended by political and civic leaders from both sides of the border.
Meanwhile, the SDLP said yesterday that its leader Colum Eastwood is travelling to the US this week, but will not attend the White House event "in line with the party's protest against the President's misogynistic behaviour and xenophobic policy agenda".

Without much hesitation, Barack Obama forcefully condemned the riots in Baltimore as "counterproductive" on Tuesday, labeling the rioters as "criminals and thugs" and striking a new tone of frustration with the cycle of allegations of deadly police abuse followed by violent protests. The frustration he displayed for the cameras however did not turn into anything productive as he failed to point out that there are two sides in this debate, one which wears uniforms and has been displaying "criminal and thuggish" behavior towards the American public for decades.
Such an emotional response has been mostly absent from Obama's major public comments after the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., last year and the wave of demonstrations around the country.
Obama has long sought to tamp down what the White House sees as unrealistic expectations that, as the first black president in a nation with a history of racial strife, he is singularly powerful enough to curb police abuse or solve the problems plaguing minority communities.
On Tuesday, he spoke at length about the need for communities as a whole to wipe out poverty and other underlying issues that have sparked unrest and riots. He cited shortcomings in early education, the criminal justice system and job training, but as usual, he blamed everyone else but his own administration for what the public perceives as a militarization of police forces with the help of his administration.
"If we think that we're just going to send the police to do the dirty work of containing the problems that arise there, without as a nation and as a society saying, 'What can we do to change those communities, to help lift up those communities and give those kids opportunity?' then we're not going to solve this problem," he said.
A day earlier, looting and fires broke out in Baltimore after the funeral of a black man, Freddie Gray, who was mortally injured while in police custody. Hundreds were arrested, and the National Guard was called in to help calm the city.
Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden, Obama predicted that the same sequence would repeat itself until the country addressed the root causes.
"We'll go through the same cycles of periodic conflicts between the police and communities and the occasional riots in the streets," the president warned. "And everybody will feign concern until it goes away and then we go about our business as usual."
His call for a solution that comes from a cross-section of classes and races underscored Obama's insistence that he is limited in what he can do to solve entrenched social problems.
To be sure, Obama could have taken further action in his effort to alleviate social woes , as mentioned above, further limiting the Pentagon programs transferring surplus equipment to local law enforcement authorities that have become emblematic of the militarization of police. But in the absence of congressional interest in the sweeping economic and social programs Obama seeks, and a need to strike a balance between hearing the concerns of minority communities without alienating law enforcement, the White House sees itself as forced to push small-scale initiatives.
"Some of this change takes time, but I think the frustration that you heard today was about the lack of support (on Capitol Hill) for what we know works," said Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
On Tuesday, the president seized on a reporter's question about Baltimore as an opening for a lengthy meditation on the disenfranchisement of urban America.
He offered a survey of the wide range of social ills that he said exacerbates the problem _ including substance abuse, mass incarceration, absentee fathers and failure of public schools.
Change will only come when "we're paying attention all the time," Obama said, lamenting that sustained and widespread political mobilization was absent in the U.S.
It isn't the first time Obama has placed the plight of young black men in the context of social problems. Speaking about the death of Trayvon Martin in 2013, Obama observed that the bloodshed in poor black neighborhoods is "born out of a very violent past in this country."
"The poverty and dysfunction that we see in those communities can be traced to a very difficult history," he said at the time.
The more history repeats itself, though, the more maddening it becomes for the White House.
"This is the frustration of a leader who is doing the hard work of racial reconciliation every day in the policies he's trying to advance," said Joshua DuBois, who worked on those issues for years as head of Obama's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. "And he sees that this is an issue that some folks only tune into when there's a problem."
Obama's remarks were a long time coming, said Julian Bond, the former chairman of the NAACP who also helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which was instrumental in organizing the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
"We try again and again and again," Bond said. "It's hard to do it in a formal way, to say to black and white people, 'Let's sit down and talk about these things that seem almost impossible.' For some reason, we can't seem to do it."
After the shooting death in Ferguson of an unarmed black man by a white police officer last August, Obama appointed a task force to try to address the tensions between police and the neighborhoods they serve. The panel released a report in March recommending more data collection and independent investigations into deaths and injuries involving encounters with police.
Chiefly, the report raised a troubling description of the typical interactions between police and impoverished blacks.
Not long ago, Obama preached against cynicism in an address at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., on the 50th anniversary of the bloody demonstrations there that were a catalyst for passage of the Voting Rights Act.
He brought up the results of the Department of Justice's Ferguson investigation and its "sadly familiar" narrative about how police treat black people.
But he said he rejected the notion that nothing had changed.
"What happened in Ferguson may not be unique, but it's no longer endemic. It's no longer sanctioned by law or by custom," he said.
Yet on Tuesday, he was focused almost entirely on the endemic nature of institutionalized racism.
"This has been going on for a long time," Obama said. "This is not new. And we shouldn't pretend that it's new."
Meanwhile, his administration continues to push tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment, firearms and vehicles to local police departments, all which will eventually be used against American citizens.

The LiquiDAM
Product watch
By Masonry
TEC's The LiquiDAM Penetrating Moisture Vapor Barrier delivers less than .1 permeability of water vapor through the membrane.
Moisture penetration through concrete slabs can cause severe problems for flooring systems. Even relatively low moisture emissions (MVER) can lead to the deterioration of flooring adhesives. The new and improved formula delivers a higher level of moisture protection than the current version, while keeping the same time- and labor-saving benefits.
The formula continues to require no shot blasting for clean, sound concrete and allows same-day flooring installation with a one-coat, fast-drying formula that cures in four to five hours and exceeds the newly released ASTM F3010-13 standard for moisture vapor barriers. When used as a complete TEC system with other surface preparation products and flooring adhesives, The LiquiDAM also qualifies for a 20-year Moisture Control Limited System Warranty.
The LiquiDAM Penetrating Moisture Vapor Barrier can be applied to new or existing concrete with a maximum relative humidity of 100 percent and a moisture vapor emission rate of 25 pounds per 1000 square feet, per 24 hours. Applied with a squeegee or a 1/16-inch-square notch trowel and a 3/16-inch nap foam roller, one coat boasts more than 150 square feet of coverage, depending on surface porosity.

Convention weekend
So, for the first time in ages I'm going to a convention this weekend. This is not one of my usual haunts, so I have idea what to expect. Apparently LotFP will be there, so I'll pass by and say hi. Maybe I'll even get to play a game or two of some sort, even though I'm not pre-registered for anything. I'll bring my trusty T&T book so find me if you want to play T&T.

North East Liberal Democrat Euro candidate Fiona Hall is supporting a Greenpeace campaign to cut the use of dangerous chemicals in everyday products.
New European legislation on chemicals will be one of the first issues debated by the next European Parliament.
The aim is to identify extremely hazardous chemicals and give them a special classification but the Libs Dems say current proposal contains a loophole for producers.
Ms Hall said: "Sensible regulation is vital for protecting our environment."
Meanwhile, North East Conservative MEP Martin Callanan says he wants the legislation to be as "business-friendly as possible".

All the Rage: Ombré Yarns
If you are on Pinterest, or social media in general, you've probably noticed that people are really excited about all things ombré. You can get your hair colored ombré style, and it's pretty funky-cool. Knitters and yarn companies have jumped on the bandwagon and ombré style gradient yarns are a huge hit right now. What makes ombré yarns so awesome?
First of all, they are just super pretty. You can get many gorgeous colors and tones in one skein of yarn, which is exciting! I love the colorways that look like a sunset in the knitted fabric. It's also a great way to do color knitting with none of the work of color knitting. Just knit away and the color of the working yarn shifts and changes, creating an effortlessly beautiful and interesting fabric.
As wonderful as these yarns are, they do require a little planning and forethought. Sometimes, depending on your yarn and pattern and how you are using them together, the fabric may not come out looking exactly as you expected. It can also be tricky to move on to the next skein if it starts with a different color from the one that just finished. Fortunately, there are things you can do to avoid these problems and get the best out of your gradient yarn.
Tina Whitmore is the owner of Freia Handpaint Yarns, a yarn company with a fine selection of ombré gradient yarns. She has a vast wealth of knowledge on how to use these yarns most effectively, and she teamed up with Interweave video team to produce a fantastic hour-long video called Knitting with Ombré and Gradient Yarns: Tips and Tricks for the Best Results. In the video, Tina explains choosing yarns, color placement and dominance, considering what stitches you are using, and so much more. The video also features a super gorgeous shawl, with a pattern! I absolutely love the bit of green contrast at the bottom peeking out.
Tina's video is available as a DVD or as video download. The best part, in my personal opinion, is that it's also available in a kit along with the Freia yarn to knit the shawl. I love the blending of the different colorways to create this colorful shawl. It's a simple knit—mostly stockinette with some purl ridges—but the color changes gives it an interesting complexity.
So if you are getting an itch to get on the ombré train, but you're not sure exactly where to start, Tina's video and shawl project are a fantastic place to start. Just an hour of your time can help make you an expert in gradient yarns!
Happy ombré knitting,

Sharif(redirected from sherifs)
Also found in: Dictionary.
in pre-Islamic Arabia, a member of a distinguished family, the leader of a tribe, or the ruler of a town. The term was later used as an honorary title for Muslims tracing their genealogy to the prophet Muhammad. Only the descendants of Hasan, a grandson of Muhammad's, had a formal right to the title, but usually all of the descendants of Muhammad were called sharifs and sayyids. In Arabia from the tenth century until 1916, the grand sharif was the ruler of the Hejaz and Mecca.

I was reflecting on the Let It Shine Live Final on BBC TV and the fact the viewing public voted in their droves (and paid for the privilege) for a newly formed boy band to star in the new Take That live musical called The Band.
Is this how the younger generation is learning democracy? Intentionally or not, are we embedding a voting culture amongst millennials and younger?
Does audience voting on reality TV shows teach young people to vote? Does anyone know if there is evidence of this?
I wonder what percentage of the show's viewers voted that Saturday night? The turnout in the Stoke by-election was 38% and in Copeland 51% (but the electorates were just a tenth of the size of the viewing audience for Let It Shine!)
We run simple twitter polls from time to time. For Maker's Mark, for example, we have hosted quick votes to find the most popular Bourbon cocktail, according to the taste buds of brand fans.
Maybe we can grow generally lamentable voter turnout (whether in a by-election, a general election or a single/issue referendum) by encouraging everyone to form and express opinions, take sides and vote, so it becomes second nature?
Voting, after all, is a hard-fought right which cost our predecessors dear and costs us nothing at all.
Anything we can do, big or small, to encourage voting en masse must surely be for the greater good.
Maybe in the next election we should all vote online by pressing on-screen buttons?

Crews have shut down one lane of southbound 28th Street in Boulder near Valmont Road as they try to repair a water main break.
Ben Irwin, a spokesman for the city's public works department, said the break occurred just south of Valmont Road along 28th Street, impacting water distribution in the area and causing some drainage pipes to back up and flood onto the streets.
Irwin said crews have shut off the water while they work to repair the break.
It is not known yet how long the repairs will take and the impact it might have on buildings in the area.

RPE65 gene knockout (Rpe65 −/−) mice showed abolished isomerohydrolase activity in the visual cycle and were considered a model for vitamin A deficiency in the retina. The purpose of this study was to compare the retinal phenotypes between vitamin A–deficient (VAD) mice and Rpe65 −/− mice under normal diet.
The VAD mice were fed with a vitamin A–deprived diet after birth. The age-matched control mice and Rpe65 −/− mice were maintained under normal diet. The structure of photoreceptor outer segment was compared using electron microscopy. Photoreceptor-specific gene expression was determined using real-time RT-PCR. The isomerohydrolase and lecithin-retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activities were measured using an in vitro enzymatic activity assay. Endogenous retinoid profiles were analyzed by HPLC in mouse eyecup homogenates.
Compared to wild-type mice under normal diet, scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed that the outer segments of photoreceptors were disorganized in VAD mice and were not disorganized in Rpe65 −/− mice, although they were shortened in the latter. VAD mice showed more prominent downregulation of middle wavelength cone opsin, whereas Rpe65 −/− mice displayed more suppressed expression of short wavelength cone opsin. In vitro enzymatic activity assay and Western blot analysis showed that vitamin A deprivation downregulated LRAT expression and activity in the eyecup, but Rpe65 −/− mice showed unchanged LRAT expression and activity. The depressed LRAT activity in VAD mice was partially rescued by the intraperitoneal injection of retinoic acid.
VAD and Rpe65 −/− mice are different in cone photoreceptor degeneration, photoreceptor-specific gene regulation, isomerohydrolase activity, endogenous retinoid profile, and LRAT activity.
