NHMRC has entered into a new five year agreement to enable all Australians to continue to have access to The Cochrane Library via Australia's national licence to the Library. The renewal marks the 10th anniversary of the announcement of the original licence at the Cochrane Colloquium held in Melbourne in 2002. (21 August 2012)
This page is primarily for the information of CAUL/CEIRC members who wish to subscribe to this publisher's products and/or services. It provides information about offers to CAUL and CAUL-specific pricing, and links to relevant pages on the publisher's own web site. For other information, please go directly to The Cochrane Library.

The Cochrane Library Online (via Wiley)
All residents of Australia with access to the Internet can access The Cochrane Library for free, thanks to funding provided by the Australian Government and administered by the National Institute of Clinical Studies. (23/3/07)
The Cochrane Library can still be accessed directly at http://www.thecochranelibrary.com/. It can also be accessed through the NICS site: http://www.nicsl.com.au/Cochrane/ - the benefit to this method is that the User Guide sits alongside the Library when going via NICS. (24/1/06)
.... both versions of the Library will remain live until the end of December 2004. After that time the Cochrane Library will no longer be available via the Update Software site. The final issue of Update Software's CD-ROM version of The Cochrane Library was published in July 2005. Wiley and Sons, who took over publication of the Internet version of The Cochrane Library at the beginning of 2005, is now also responsible for the CD version. Update Software will continue to manage the data for both versions until spring 2006. (12/1/06)
The Cochrane Library Online (via HCN) HCN was contracted with Wiley for distribution and the Update platform is available until the Wiley platform replaced it. The databases in The Cochrane Library currently are included in the new version.
What is the Cochrane Library?
The best single source of reliable evidence about the effects of health care - The Cochrane Library - now available online! For the first time you can access the complete Cochrane Library Online, through HCN's Web site. Through an annual subscription to The Cochrane Library with HCN, you can be sure that you have access to the latest officially published evidence to support the practice of evidence based medicine. If you are involved in any aspect of health care and you need to keep up-to-date, you will want to have access to the Cochrane Library. If you believe that decisions should be informed by the results of research, we predict that you will find the contents of The Cochrane Library helpful. We think that it is the best single source of reliable evidence about the effects of health care in the world. If information relevant to your needs cannot be found in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, then you will often find relevant material in The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness. And if there are no relevant systematic reviews of research evidence yet available in either of these two databases, then you will almost always find relevant studies among the tens of thousands of records in The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. All of these resources are part of The Cochrane Library. Prepared by contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration, an international network of individuals committed to 'preparing, maintaining, and disseminating systematic reviews of the effects of health care'.

Because Smartsheet is cloud-based and cross platform, we are freed from a lot of the complexity inherent in many other, more traditional project management software tools.
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012
A successful career in music involves managing projects with many moving parts. Musicians, producers, promoters, songwriters and engineers need to understand how to best orchestrate the many tasks associated with songwriting, stage crews, recording sessions, cover art production, promotional campaigns and beyond. Learning the fundamentals of project management (PM) has become an increasingly important aspect of the collegiate music curriculum.
The online division of the world renowned Berklee College of Music, Berkleemusic.com, is debuting a new course Project Management for Musicians April 2. The course leverages Smartsheet's leading spreadsheet-like online project management tool to introduce students to PM strategies and approaches.
For Berklee instructor Jonathan Feist, using Smartsheet as the underlying PM tool was a natural fit for teaching. "As a teacher, I've found Smartsheet to be a good balance between power and ease of use. It includes tools for planning and execution, from Gantt charts to task-based discussion tools. Because the program is so cleanly laid out, it's useful for illustrating key project management concepts, such as task dependencies."
Students have access to Smartsheet throughout the course and use it to manage their own projects. According to Feist, because the students come from all over the world and have various levels of comfort with technology, it was important to use a tool that wasn't intimidating.
"Because Smartsheet is cloud-based and cross platform, we are freed from a lot of the complexity inherent in many other, more traditional project management software tools," he added. "There's no installation required and Smartsheet offers great Help videos, so I can focus on teaching project management and not technical support."
"Cloud-based tools are rapidly replacing traditional software in the office - and the classroom - because they deliver an improved experience for usability, collaboration and access," said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet. "Having Berklee leverage Smartsheet for teaching PM is a testament to the evolving expectations we all have for the next generation of productivity and workflow tools."
For students to be as successful as possible in the music industry and with various musical endeavors, according to Feist, learning project management plays an important role in improving the quality and reach of their work. "Learning not only the theoretical tools of project management but also software tools such as Smartsheet helps musicians develop a clearer sense of the work they want to do. They're able to break down abstract ideas into realistic components—along with realistic action plans to accomplish them. It shows them that major artistic projects are completely within their reach."

Today's tip comes from Jennifer Overstreet of {www.ghquilting.com}.
All quilters know that cutting mats wear down like a well-loved pair of shoes. Jennifer has a neat tip to remove some of the fabric fuzz that gets stuck in the well-worn grooves.
Jennifer says:
- Got Fabric fuzz stuck in your cutting mat from excessive rotary cutting in the same spot?
- Grab a pink eraser to make it all go away! I happen to have an extremely large one from our Dollar Store.
- Take your pink eraser and rub it over the fabric fuzz to lift the fuzz out of your mat.
- Dust away the eraser residue and the loosen fabric fuzz
- No more fabric fuzz left behind from excessive rotary cutting.
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer! Would you like to share your favorite sewing tip? Send us an email.
Happy sewing!

Colin Chapman founded Lotus Cars in 1952 with a design philosophy that "subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere." As a result, Lotus models were designed to be lightweight with fine handling, instead of adding components to increase engine power such as other sports cars of the time. As well as producing road cars, Chapman founded Team Lotus, a Formula One team that competed from 1958 to 1994.
Lotus After World War II
Since 1966, Lotus cars were manufactured in a factory and road test facility at Hethel, Norfolk, England, at the site of RAF Hethel, which was an old airfield from World War II. The road test contained portions of the old runways used during the war. Lotus is known for its sports and performance cars, and is one of the few British manufacturers still in production today.
Lotus in America
The market for Lotus in America was very small until the mid-1980s. Lotus underwent severe financial difficulties in the early 1980s due to the lack of sales in the market. To boost sales, Lotus Performance Cars Inc. was created in America. With the creation of this company, Turbo Esprits were imported into the U.S. for the first time, which tripled sales and provided much needed income for Lotus.
Chapman owned the company until his death in 1982, and in 1986, it was bought by General Motors. The four letters found in the Lotus logo (ACBC) stand for the initials of Chapman's full name. In 1993, General Motors sold Lotus to a company in Luxembourg, which was controlled by the owner of Bugatti, Romano Artioli. The company sold a majority share to Proton, a Malaysian car company, in 1996 after Artioli went bankrupt in 1994. Lotus Engineering also acts as a consultancy to other car developers as well as designing and building its own vehicles.
Lotus Models
While Chapman was still a student, he began building cars to run in English racing. The first roadworthy full car produced by Lotus was the Lotus Seven. It was a two-seater, open top sports car that was in production from 1957 to 1970. Today, it is currently available as both a kit car and a fully-assembled car from Caterham Cars, the company that bought the rights to the vehicle in 1973.
The first Lotus Elite rolled off the production line in 1958. This two-seater coupe was produced until 1963. In 1974, a four-seater Elite was launched by Lotus and was available until 1982. There have been no Elites in production since 1982, but in 2010, Lotus unveiled a new generation concept car reported to go into production in 2014.
The Lotus Elan encompassed two convertible cars and one coupe that were available from 1962 to 1975 and again from 1989 to 1995. Initially produced as a replacement for the Elite, it was expensive to produce and unreliable on the road. The purchase of Lotus in 1986 provided the revenue required to design, develop and launch the new Elan in 1989. At the Paris Motor Show in 2010, the new Lotus Elan was announced with a production start date of 2013.
In 1976, the Lotus Esprit launched and continued to be produced until 2004. While the first generation of the car was said to have excellent handling, it did poorly due to a lack of power. This was particularly true in the U.S. where the engine was modified to reduce emissions. The Esprit went through several modifications, including the release of the Turbo version. To improve performance in markets like the U.S., Lotus produced an Esprit with a different engine than in the U.K. market.
Lotus Products and Technologies
There are six current models of Lotus cars available, one of which is a track-only car. The Lotus T125 Exos cost $1 million to produce, and only 25 are scheduled for production. A limited number of owners can take part in the Exos Experience by Lotus, where they benefit from one-on-one advice with Grand Prix drivers and trainers as they drive the Exos on a track.
The other five models include the Elise, Exige, Exige S, Evora and 2-Eleven. The Elise is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive roadster that has been in production since 1996. In America, it contains a Toyota engine to meet emissions restrictions. The Exige is an Elise with a body redesigned to increase down force. It launched in 2006 in the U.S., and the supercharged Exige S launched in 2007. The Lotus 2-Eleven was intended as a track car, but it can be modified to be road legal for an additional cost.
The Evora is the first completely new vehicle since the Elise in 1996. The first was launched in 2008, with two subsequent vehicles being available in 2011. The goal behind the Evora is to produce a road worthy performance car that will appeal to the mainstream market. As such, it is a much larger car than the Elise and the Exige.

Since the dawn of trading stocks, investors have attempted to predict the direction of the markets, making calls based on everything from solid research to gut instincts. In this vein, market indicators have been developed, acting as tools to help investors predict future market movements.
Although countless indicators of varied usefulness exist, there is a special breed that finds itself off the beaten path, for obvious reasons. Some are humorous, others scientifically studied, but all have one thing in common: they attempt to predict future market performance. Not to mention that they can be rather entertaining.
With that said, keep in mind that using these indicators is at your own risk, although the high degree of reliability (not to be confused with validity) of some may surprise you...

Groton middle school teacher needs a kidney
Groton - Brad Vernet always knew this day would come.
The longtime West Side Middle School science teacher was born with one kidney and 23 years ago was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.
Since then doctors have monitored the 48-year-old Vernet but now his kidney function has dropped to just 14 percent, which means he could be forced to begin grueling dialysis treatments in less than a year.
So he and his supporters have launched an effort using social media to find someone to donate a kidney to him.
"Like any upsetting news you're in disbelief at first," he said one night last week while he watched his son Martin at soccer practice. "But after a few weeks you realize it does no one any good to feel bad about it. You have to go on."
Vernet said his doctor at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston has told him he's not sick he just needs a new kidney.
"Overall, I'm doing pretty well. There are other people much worse of than me," he said. "It's serious but I have to keep a perspective and stay positive."
Vernet, who lives in Mystic with his wife Katy, a teacher at Claude Chester School, daughter Emmye and son Martin, is a graduate of Ledyard High School.
He said that he hadn't had any symptoms until this spring when he began feeling tired as his kidney function dropped.
Still, he and a friend completed a four-day, 220-mile, bike ride to Vermont. He rode slower than normal but was able to finish.
These days he said he's often asleep by 8 p.m. and the fatigue makes him mentally "a bit foggy" at times.
Vernet said his doctors can not predict exactly when he will have to begin dialysis if he can not find a donor. Currently there is an estimated five-year wait to get a kidney through the national organ donation registry. Registry kidneys come from cadavers and do not last as long as a kidney from a living donor, so that is why Vernet is seeking someone to give him one. If he waited for a kidney from the national registry, he would have to spend several years on dialysis which could cause other medical problems. He hopes to be able to find a donor so he can have a transplant before having to go on dialysis.
He said his wife began by emailing friends about his search and recently a Facebook Page called "Help Find Brad a Kidney" has been launched. The Connecticut Education Association wrote about him on its blog and there have been stories about him in various media.
As for his students, he said he has not said anything to them yet about his disease because he first wants to let their parents know he may be out for a while if a kidney becomes available for transplant.
Those who would like to donate a kidney have to go through an initial two-step process which involves a telephone interview and a blood test kit sent to them by the hospital. Those who meet the initial criteria move on to more testing to see if their tissues are a match with Vernet. The better the match, the less chance for rejection.
It is a confidential process and Vernet does not know who has agreed to be tested unless they tell him. He said the hospital will only tell him when there is a good match but otherwise does not discuss possible donors.
Vernet said Sunday that once he get a transplant he would like to shift his efforts to helping others who face the same process.
How you can help
The "Help Find Brad a Kidney" Facebook contains information about Vernet and his search.
To begin the testing process contact Brigham and Women's Hospital Living Donor Coordinator Kristen Pelletier at (617) 732-8683.

Many companies lack the IT expertise to design and deploy their own in-house networks. If you provide IT services to these businesses, you need a reliable online networking hardware provider that can provide top-of-the-line Advanteco network hardware, along with equipment from other top network hardware manufacturers. Pricing is always an important factor when you're purchasing IT equipment for your customers. You should also consider other factors like reliable service, quality of equipment, and shipping options. It's also good to work with an online networking hardware provider that offers new, used, and refurbished equipment options. The more your provider offers, the more options you can pass on to your customers.
Reliability is about more than just having equipment in stock. It's about being available to offer 24/7 tech support, answer networking questions, and troubleshoot equipment installations. When you're installing network hardware for your customers, you need to know that you have your online networking hardware provider's support at all times. You also need to know that if you need replacement parts quickly, your provider will prioritize your request.
Many business customers have come to rely on Advanteco network hardware, but they might also have IT equipment needs from vendors like IBM, Avaya, and HP. Your online networking hardware provider should have an extensive catalog of equipment to meet your customers' needs. To help your customers control costs, look for providers that offer certified refurbished equipment.
Every moment of time offline costs businesses money. If your business customers need network hardware components, you need to know that you'll receive them quickly. Choose a provider with a proven track record of fulfilling shipments in a timely and accurate fashion. If you can't help your customers shorten downtime, they won't be your customers for long.
Your business is supplying network hardware for your business clients. Our business is making sure that you can do your job by getting high-quality, top-of-the-line equipment into your hands. Contact Advantec to learn more about what we offer as an online network hardware provider. We'll transform the way your company and your clients' companies do business together.

Mark Robert Kroninger, longtime resident of Little River and Fort Bragg, died at home on Nov. 18, 2012.
The son or Robert and Robin
Kroninger, he was born on March 16, 1947 in Oakland, Calif. He attended UC Berkeley and was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Upon his return from Vietnam, he married Stephanie Amberger, his high school sweetheart. They lived briefly in Oakland, where their son, Cyrus was born, and then moved in 1972 to the coast, eventually settling in Little River, where their daughter, Eula, was born in 1974. Mark and Stephanie"s lifelong love, devotion and
creativity enveloped and supported not just their immediate family but also the wider community of artists and craftspeople in the greater Mendocino area. Mark was an incredibly talented printer and he and artist Stephanie had a long and fruitful partnership in life and the graphic arts until her death in 1993. He was a voracious reader, a deep thinker, a lover of trains, and had a wickedly dry sense of humor.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 25 years, Stephanie Kroninger, by his mother Robin Kroninger and by his younger brother Morgen Kroninger.
Mark is survived by his father, Robert Kroninger and his wife Mary of Inverness, Calif., sister Lauren
Kroninger and her husband Richard Hodge of Berkeley, Calif., brother Kurt Kroninger and his wife Ellen of Escondido, Calif., son Cyrus Kroninger and his wife Mary Ann of Mendocino, daughter Eula Lenihan and her husband Mike of Fort Bragg, and four grandsons of whom he was fiercely proud: Ben and Jack Kroninger, Jake Bell and Finn Lenihan, and many nieces, one nephew and countless friends.
The family would like to express special thanks to Sharon Hunter, FNP and Dr. Jeffrey Berenson.
Mark and his family would be honored by donations to the Mendocino Cancer Resource Center.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsNews & Views
Horse's Mouth - Mustang and Ford News and Notes - October 2014
The Latest News in the Ford World
AmericanMuscle Excites With The 2015 Mustang Re-creations: Iacocca, Bullitt, And Eleanor.
AmericanMuscle.com, known as a leader in the aftermarket for style and performance, has used technology to build these virtual machines that Mustang fans are sure to lust after. Best of all using aftermarket parts, recreating these awesome Mustangs can be as simple as replacing a set list of body pieces and various styling parts. AmericanMuscle chose three well-known Mustangs that would transfer well to the 2015 Mustang's body lines. In laying out the parts needed to blend the old with the new, you're given an idea of what you would have to do to have one of these ACicons in your driveway.
Underneath the louvers, custom hoods, uniquely designed headlights, and various performance upgrades, all three—Bullitt, Iacocca and Eleanor—are essentially the same; they're all production spec Mustangs. It's the variety of different parts that brings their entire look together to form a style recognizable by most Mustang aficionados. Cars like these would not be possible without the full backing of a strong community of enthusiasts who demand the parts needed to make a custom Mustang of their own. The 2015 Mustang will be no different. Mustang owners want parts available to make their own classics.
With that in mind, AmericanMuscle wants to know what parts package you want available for the 2015 Mustang. So, which of these classic designs best suits the 2015 Mustang's skin? Is it Steve McQueen's Bullitt, a true fastback Iacocca, or the always classy Eleanor? Check out Americanmuscle.com for more information on the 2015 and other exciting Mustang news and parts.
Bonneville Resurfaced
An estimated 2,000 tons of salt were successfully deposited on the mud surface at the end of the access road to the Bonneville Salt Flats. It was graded and then dried to a hard concretelike racing surface. Although modest in scope, the project demonstrates that it should be possible to deposit dry salt in targeted areas so as to help preserve our national treasure, the site where land speed records have been set over the past 100 years.
The project took place over several days in mid-June. It was organized by the Save the Salt Coalition in coordination with the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Shelton Construction deposited the salt over the mud, an area once covered by salt. The company has decades of experience working in and around Bonneville.
"The dry salt laydown project marks a milestone event as we celebrate a century of racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats," said Doug Evans, chairman of the Save the Salt Coalition. "There has been a significant loss of salt in the area since the 1940s. While millions of tons of salt brine have been pumped back in recent years, a supplemental dry salt program will focus on targeted areas such as the race tracks."
The Bonneville Salt Flats is a National Landmark and a geologic phenomenon of international significance. For motorsports enthusiasts worldwide, it is hallowed ground. From the first speed record attempts in 1914 to the present day, hundreds of records have been set and broken in a variety of automotive and motorcycle classes.
For more information about the coalition, contact Stuart Gosswein at email@example.com or 202/783-6007, extension 30.
Ford Reveals New Focus ST
The 2015 Ford Focus ST made its global debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom on June 26th—which served as the ideal venue for showcasing the enhanced driving dynamics of Ford's global performance version of the new Focus.
Focus ST will benefit from technology and craftsmanship first revealed earlier this year for the new Ford Focus—the world's best-selling global nameplate. Ford introduced the first Focus ST in 2002; since then, more than 140,000 examples have been sold in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Ford Team RS, the award-winning European arm of Ford's Global Performance Vehicle group, made improving the entire driving experience the No. 1 objective for the new Focus ST.
The sports suspension features all-new front springs and sportier shock absorber tuning front and rear to deliver even sharper dynamic performance. The electric power-assisted steering has also been revised to provide the Focus ST driver with improved steering feel.
The new Focus ST features sportier and more aggressive styling than the previous generation, with a lower, wider stance, a new dynamically sculpted hood, slimmer headlamps, and rectangular foglamps.
The sports body kit also includes body-colored side skirts and diffuser elements on either side of the exhaust, and a rear roof spoiler optimized for aerodynamic performance. All new Focus ST models feature twin-hexagonal center tailpipes.
Ford has redesigned the Focus interior for a more intuitive layout, with a clearer visual connection between key components and significantly fewer buttons in the cabin.
The new Focus ST will be available in ST1, ST2, and ST3 trim levels. ST1 seats feature gray/charcoal/anthracite black fabric; ST2 adds partial leather with base and side bolsters available in four colors: Tangerine Scream, Performance Blue, Smoke Storm, or Race Red. ST3 seats have full charcoal black leather finish.
Refinements for the upgraded 2015 Focus ST include:
• Redesigned, sportier front and rear fasciae
• HID headlamps standard with ST2 and ST3 trim levels with Recaro seats
• Standard LED signature lighting
• 18-inch Rado Gray alloy wheels standard
• Available new 18-inch alloy wheel design with red painted brake calipers
• New exterior color, Magnetic Metallic, replaces Ingot Silver
• Two over-the-top stripe choices now available (Satin Black and High Gloss Red); stripes come with matching mirror skull caps
• Redesigned instrument panel center stack with improved climate controls and new finishes
• New center console with more storage space including a new media bin with USB smart charging port, which charges two times faster than previous USB port
• Updated front door storage with cupholders
• New flat-bottom steering wheel to provide extra leg clearance for the driver
• Available heated steering wheel
• Available eight-way power driver's seat
• Revised steering for improved feel
• Rear view camera standard

Protests outside the White House take all kinds of forms and encompass all kinds of issues. Last Wednesday, Jan. 11 there was a jail cell with orange-jumpsuit-clad protesters inside facing the presidential mansion. The small cell, with protesters taking three-hour shifts inside, represents the holding pen some accused al-Qaida members were held in for a time at the military-run prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The protest, said Witness Against Torture organizer and Catholic Worker Matthew Daloisio of New York, marks the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Guantanamo prison and calls for ending the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists in Cuba, Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan and at CIA-run sites around the world. The cell "opened" up Jan. 7 and was in place for 92 hours until Jan. 11, the day Guantanamo opened in 2002. Daloisio said about 1,000 people were expected for a rally at the White House to call upon President Barack Obama to uphold his executive order to close the prison and try the men being held there. Obama subsequently has signed legislation that prevents the prison's closing, disappointing the anti-torture activists. "There was hope for some change as Obama took office," Daloisio said. "All of that hope is essentially lost when it comes to issues of civil liberties and accountability. "When we began this work we never imagined that 10 years later we would be continuing in this way," Daloisio said. He also expressed concern that American citizens now can be detained indefinitely under a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act signed by the president Dec. 31. Obama issued a signing statement explaining, however, that no American citizen would be so detained while he is in office.

Become a Nurse >> Browse Articles >> Nursing School
Take the Prerequisites
Beth Anderson, RN
If you elect to go the BSN or ADN route, here is a list of the prerequisites you most likely will be required to take:
- General Biology
- General Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Microbiology
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Mathematics
- Statistics
- Nutrition
- Developmental Psychology
- English Composition
- Multicultural Studies
- General Education
This list is not comprehensive, but it will certainly give you an idea of where to start. Expect to find some variations depending on where you will be applying. You can take these courses at your local community college or at an online school, so the process of taking them can be affordable and convenient. Explore your options.
The most important and possibly the most challenging course you will take will be Anatomy and Physiology. In this class you will learn the basics of the human body: how it works, and all its parts. You will also develop a sense of what kind of study skills you will need to get through nursing school, so it is advisable to take this course very seriously. It's going to be the framework that your nursing knowledge is built upon. Remember that when you are memorizing the names of all 206 bones—there's a reason for it.
Do you want to learn more about careers in nursing? Find one here.
- Looking for scholarships to take your skill set to the next level? Find a scholarship here.
Some advice on getting through the rest of the classes: Try to find ways that you will apply the course to your future nursing career. For example, Microbiology can be challenging, but in this class you're going to learn about organisms that affect your every day life as a nurse who works in a hospital.
You may ask yourself, "Why do I need to take statistics?" In nursing school you will spend a considerable amount of time with research studies. Once you've mastered the art of statistics you will have a much better grasp of what these studies contribute to nursing. In contemporary nursing there is a big trend towards "evidence-based practice," and it means applying nursing research to what you do at the bedside.

By Jack Hough
Facebook (FB) on Tuesday tumbled another 8.9% to $31 — well below last week's $38 initial offering price. Shareholders who had bought the stock for a quick flip must now consider whether to defy all those Facebook skeptics and hold it longer.
That has worked out beautifully for anyone who has held Google (GOOG) stock since its 2004 debut. It has multiplied six-fold in price.
Like Facebook, Google is a purely online business with a dominant market share. It makes most of its money from advertising and turns a high percentage of each revenue dollar into operating profits. Its stock was also initially panned by many as too expensive.
But there are also some important differences between the two companies that may prevent Facebook from producing a Google-like performance over the next eight years. Here are three.
1. Facebook is nearly twice as expensive as Google was following its own stock market debut.
When Google came to market in August 2004, it had booked $2.3 billion in revenues over the prior four quarters. The stock ended its first day of trading at a price that valued Google at $27 billion. Those numbers make for a price-to-revenues ratio of about 12.
Facebook ended Tuesday with a value of $85 billion, and it has brought in $4 billion in revenues over the past four quarters. That's a price-to-revenues ratio of 21.
Google has found a way to multiply its revenues 17 times since its initial stock offering, to $40 billion. If Facebook can do likewise, investors should expect its stock to do half as well, considering that it's starting at nearly twice the price. That would nonetheless provide a handsome return for investors. But it may be unrealistic to expect that kind of revenue growth from Facebook.
2. Google has already plucked the low-hanging fruit.
Back in 2004, newspapers and magazines together captured 43.8% of advertising spending, versus just 3.7% for websites, according to Zenith Optimedia. That gap has narrowed. This year, 27.3% of advertising dollars are expected to go to newspapers and magazines, and 18.2% is expected to go to websites.
The shift from print to online advertising will continue, but not as quickly. In 2014, newspapers and magazines will collect 24.1% of advertising dollars, versus 22.1% for websites, predicts Zenith Optimedia.
In other words, Google thrived in part by capturing business from vulnerable print publications, but the weakest of these have closed, and others have built thriving websites. Facebook will have to compete for ad dollars with a stronger core of print companies and their websites, and more important, with the likes of Google.
3. The world only needs so much advertising.
Suppose Facebook grows much more skilled in turning its traffic into advertising dollars. Couldn't it then multiply its revenues 17 times over the next eight years, the way Google has over the past eight? After all, the company's active user base consists of 13% of humanity.
There's a problem with that thinking, however. Google's rise didn't prevent print media companies from selling ads. Rather, it cratered the prices for such ads. For example, Google's AdSense allowed just about any website owner to sell advertising by banding together with a massive jumble of other websites. The result was a flood of new pages available for ads, creating more supply than demand.
For a company of Facebook's size, that presents a dilemma. If it doesn't learn how to effectively sell ads against its massive traffic, its revenues won't grow quickly, but if it does learn, the result may be a glut of ad-space supply and a drop in prices, restraining revenue growth just the same.
Global advertising spending is expected to increase 4.8% this year, according to Zenith Optimedia. Facebook's revenues, meanwhile, are projected by analysts to increase 36% this year to $5.1 billion. That's fast growth and it suggests Facebook is indeed taking market share, but it's early in the company's publicly traded life. For the stock to pay off over the long term, Facebook will have to continue to outgrow the advertising industry by a similar margin for many years to come.
Google has done it. But then, in its first year as a public company, its revenues didn't rise a mere 36%. They more than doubled.

Mince pies, Christmas crackers, all those "Keep Calm and Jingle On" T-shirts — and now television.
This year, Americans can celebrate a very British Christmas without leaving their homes, much less braving Heathrow at the holidays.
In the U.S., television traditionally surrenders to film during Christmas week; while all those big movies open at the cinema, most American series go on a hiatus to make room for the many Christmas classics one needs to watch at home — "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Carol," "A Christmas Story," "Love Actually."
In the U.K., however, the flat-screen rules. All manner of Christmas...

Target Asks Customers To Leave Guns At Home
NEW YORK (AP) - Target is asking its customers to not bring firearms into its stores, even where it is allowed by law.
In a statement on the retailer's corporate blog, interim CEO John Mulligan said that Target wants a "safe and inviting" atmosphere for its shoppers and employees.
"Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create," he said.
Target Corp. made the announcement after questions arose in recent weeks about its policy on the "open carry" of firearms in its stores.
The Minneapolis company's stock added 53 cents to $58.90 in Wednesday morning trading.

The Edmonton Journal has the story and either it, or the Leduc region, have already gotten themselves into trouble with this statement (my bolding):
Yangyang, a mountainous region with coastline in the Sea of Japan and a famous salmon stream, is promoting green industries such as tourism and agriculture, forestry and fisheries. It is also a transportation hub, with an international airport and major highway links.
Koreans know this is the incorrect name for the sea to the East of Korea, properly known at the East Sea.

text: VS post below got me all nostalgic. I went the long way to finding Jalopnik. Spent at least a year or two watching Fast Lane Daily, I remember when they got rid of Derek D for a week and it was a major bomb, a lot of drama for a youtube at the time. At the same time I was reading a lot of Autoblog. Then I came across this article about an author who bought an old IH truck back in 2010. Great story, find it here. Well, a lot of the comments involved about how this story belonged on Jalopnik due to its personality. So I checked it out, and the rest was history. So, how did you guys find this place?

Is proposing a man's job?
Check out the comments:
This makes me laugh - i feel sorry for you men as you have to keep telling yourselves that women are after your money, just to make yourselves feel big.
Furthermore statistics consistently show that marriage is bad for women financially (and in terms of our physical and mental health and happiness), and good for men in all these ways. So can we stop with this tired old meme that marriage is something women want and men have to be 'trapped' into. It simply isn't true. In my personal experience, it's the men who tend to be more keen on having the whole marriage-and-children package.
All this mumbo jumbo about women trying to lure guys into getting married: so you think your money is more attractive than you are?
Guys, get a bit more self-esteem! You might be more loveable than you think you are.
If you hate women and you're
not gay then what a very sad existence you must
lead. Your name says it all... Open your heart and
your mind and get a life!!!
The comments for articles on marriage always go the same way:
1. Men point out their intention of staying single because marriage only benefits women, women are invariably the ones who'll divorce a guy at the drop of a hat and take him for all he's worth,and that divorce (and now co-habitation) laws are a licence for women to financially fuck a man into oblivion.
2. Women accuse men of being cynical, claim 'not all women are goldiggers.'
3. Men point out they're not cynical, merely realists basing their opinions on experience of women's attitudes and behaviour, and by listening to men who've been divorced, and that, in fact, most women are indeed 'goldiggers' these days, or it's at least impossible to sort those who are from those who aren't.
4. Women sneer and claim marriage benefits men more than women, and allude to studies that are either bias, woefully out of date, or which just don't exist.
5. Men ask 'how do men benefit from slaving away to support a woman's early retirement and hobbies of shopping and watching telly?' and also sincerely ask why women, therefore, are the ones so keen on marriage, and men - even before feminism - aren't, if it's supposedly the case that men and not women benefit from marriage.
6. Women accuse men of being gay / insecure / misogynists / poorly endowed.
7. Men point out that this is merely shaming language, and try to steer the debate back to facts and logic.
8. Women accuse men of being hate-filled lunatics who are very sad and lonely, and, in case they didn't hear it the first time, are also in possession of very small willies.
9. Repeat 7 and 8 for a while.
10. Men get bored with the shaming language and go and play video games.
11. Women claim victory.

A skilled operator can machine a variety of complex parts on a manual machine tool with the aid of a digital readout, but the limits of what a DRO-equipped machine can do have always been clear. Manual machining can't coordinate the motion between two axes. That means a DRO can be helpful for straight cuts, but it takes CNC to cut along curves.
Or maybe not. Heidenhain (Schaumburg, Illinois) now offers a DRO, the "Positip 880," that can be used to machine circular arcs. The device does not provide coordinated control between axes—it's not a CNC—but it does let the user manually achieve this coordination through the use of a clever trick. Once the user has entered the desired tool path into the control—a tool path built out of straight lines, circular arcs and bevels—the DRO presents this tool path on the display as a target for the operator to follow.
A point on this display marks the tool location. The intended path is bracketed by two parallel lines that mark the width of the user-definable tolerance band. Moving the machine's handwheels moves the tool location on the screen by an exaggerated amount, because the scale of the display is magnified. As long as the operator can keep the point on the screen between the two tolerance lines, the machine will cut the profile to the intended accuracy.
An operator can control either or both of the manual machine's handwheels while cutting in this way. On a milling machine, the operator may choose to have one axis feeding steadily at some slow rate while only the other axis is maneuvered by hand to keep the tool on track. On a lathe, where the handwheels are closer together, the operator may turn both of the wheels at once to follow the path on screen (using the machine tool like a metalcutting Etch A Sketch).
This is not a high-productivity solution. However, the capability may bring greater usefulness to some machines that have long been in service. For the shops and toolrooms that use manual machines to make a variety of one-time or short-run parts, this feature of the DRO increases the scope of what a manual machine can do.

The San Antonio Spurs continued their supremacy in the NBA, beating Washington 96-86 on Saturday for a 10th successive victory.
The Spurs dominated the first half, leading 51-26 at the break, before easing the tempo in the second to improve to an NBA best 38-11, confining the Wizards to an equal league worst 11-35 in the process.
It was not all good news for the Spurs who lost All-Star Tim Duncan to knee and ankle sprains in the first half after he became tangled with Martell Webster.
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 19 points and 12 assists, while all 12 of their players got on the scoresheet. John Wall scored a game high 21 points for the Wizards and added nine assists.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was taken to hospital for checks to his head and neck after a heavy fall following a collision with team-mate Jeff Taylor during the Bobcats' 109-95 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Kidd-Gilchrist, the second overall pick in last year's draft, went up to defend Toney Douglas' layup early in the fourth quarter before the collision. He lay motionless for several minutes before being placed in a neck brace and carried from the arena and taken to a local hospital.
Result: Chicago: 93 bt Atlanta: 76; New York Knick: 120 bt Sacramento: 81; Cleveland: 115 bt Oklahoma City: 110; Houston: 109 bt Charlotte: 95; Minnesota: 115 bt New Orleans: 86; Milwaukee: 107 bt Orlando: 98; San Antonio: 96 bt Washington: 86; Portland: 105 bt Utah: 99; Golden State: 113 bt Phoenix: 93.

While Scully will work fewer games this season, his consistent presence in the late hours (for those of us on the east coast) is like a warm glass of milk or being tucked in before bedtime. Here's to 63 more seasons of Scully, somehow.

Every single component of your Land Rover has been expertly engineered for your bespoke vehicle. So why compromise performance with inferior parts?
Land Rover Genuine Air Filters:
Out and about in the fresh air. One of the thrills of having a Land Rover. And thanks to Land Rover Genuine Air Filters, your engine gets the clean, flowing airs it needs too. All designed to the demanding Land Rover filtration and calibration standards.
These air filters provide a micron level of filtration protection against any harmful particles – such as dirt or dust, especially in off-road conditions. Our air filters also minimise restriction on air flow and maintain the controlled flow of clean air required by the engine system.
Each air filter is calibrated to work with a specific Land Rover vehicle derivative, enabling the air flow needed by the engine system and its sensors. Non-genuine air filters may disrupt air flow, leading to issues with sensor readings and potentially compromising engine performance and fuel economy, as well as causing a notable increase in tailpipe emissions.
If you only drive on normal roads, you only need normal wheels. But you've got a Land Rover. Cue exacting standards for Genuine Alloy Wheels:
Crafted with an aluminium and silicon alloy for optimum strength and durability, each wheel is scrutinised by X-ray to check it's free from even microscopic of cracks.
Engineered to precise geometric and balance standards, our alloy wheels help provide a safer clearance from components (such as brake callipers). The result? Uncompromising capability on and off-road.
First, there's a punishing 12-week dynamic corrosion test. Then Genuine Alloy Wheels are analysed for resistance to corrosive fluids, such as brake fluid, fuel and cleaning products. Finally, there's a relentless 1,000 hour salt spray test. The British winter's got nothing on us.
The Pendulum Impact Test simulates kerb strike impacts against each alloy wheel at its weakest and strongest points. This structural behaviour test helps ensure optimal safety and shock absorption, protecting vehicles and passengers alike.
The scorching dusty heat of Death Valley. Sub-zero climes of northern Scandinavia. Extreme, but no match for Land Rover Genuine Brake Discs and Pads. After up to 12 months of meticulous design and development, it's testing time:
Refinement - The most extreme temperature and weather conditions on earth are used to measure and eradicate refinement issues such as brake squeal and juddering.
Performance - Land Rover Genuine Brakes are run through the industry standard AMS Brake Fade test – used by the leading manufacturers for high performance vehicles. After the test vehicle is rapidly accelerated up to 100kph, the brakes are applied as hard as possible until the vehicle comes to a stop. This procedure is repeated non-stop for 12 cycles to ensure that safe stopping performance is not compromised during the test.
Stability - Driving tests on winding alpine mountain roads in the French Alps push disc and pad temperatures to over 500°C with prolonged and strenuous breaking. Even under such extreme conditions, our brake pads and discs remain stable and steady.
Pedal Feel - All Land Rover Genuine Brakes are designed to handle a 'Chauffeur Stop.' This unique standard is used to ensure that the vehicle is capable of stopping smoothly at a variety of both high and low speeds. Furthermore, this capability helps provide secure and accessible deceleration which the driver feels through the brake pedal.
Parking - The superior braking ability of our brakes is demonstrated through a parking test, whereby certain Land Rover vehicles are able to hold stationary on a steep 30° (58% gradient) incline using only the Park Brake System.
Corrosive and harmful products don't stand a chance against a Land Rover Genuine Fuel Filter.
Inferior filters – the risks
Each time you fill up your Land Rover, there's a risk of fuel contamination. Dirt, sand, rust… if these abrasive particles come into contact with your fuel injectors and surrounding components, it can signal bad news for your emissions, power and fuel economy. Thankfully, there are Land Rover Genuine Fuel Filters, which:
Naturally, our Genuine Fuel Filters are tested within an inch of their life for durability, corrosion, pressure cycle and safety crashing. That's what makes them Land Rover.
Oil filters are crucial for engine function and durability. Land Rover Genuine Oil Filters provide full-flow filtration of engine oil, for optimum lubrication and protection and help avoid the risks common with inferior filters:
Land Rover Genuine Oil Filters are put through a development process that includes thousands of hours of engine tests and tens of thousands of miles of intense vehicle testing in extreme climate conditions.
By using Genuine Oil Filters, replaced at specified service intervals, you can be confident of the quality, fit, durability and function of your Land Rover and its component parts.
