The New York Times had a report yesterday (9/18/13) on a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on methane releases associated with natural gas fracking. The study, Times reporter Michael Wines writes, "bolsters the contention by advocates of fracking–and some environmental groups as well–that shale gas is cleaner and better than coal, at least until more renewable-energy sources are developed."
Wines was upfront about the fact that the study was backed by energy companies with a financial stake in its results. But he suggested that that really wasn't such a big problem:
The study's connection to the petroleum industry–among its sponsors and financiers are Shell, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Exxon Mobil and Chevron–may lead some to question its objectivity, some outside experts said. But most said the research and the reputations of the researchers appear solid.
"Previous studies that have gotten a lot of attention have had red flags jumping out all over them. This one didn't," said Michael A. Levi, the director of the program on energy security and climate change at the Council on Foreign Relations. In an e-mailed statement, Shell's president, Marvin Odum, called the study "a prime example of key groups–that may not have the exact same interests–working collaboratively and taking a science-based approach" to the methane problem.
So the president of Shell doesn't think that Shell's sponsorship of the study is anything to worry about–that's not a big surprise. But the guy from the Council on Foreign Relations didn't see any "red flags"–that's reassuring, right?
That depends on how eager you are to be reassured. CFR, like most establishment think tanks, gets funding from the corporate sector. In the case of CFR, these funders are called "corporate members." If you look at the roster, under the category of "Founders" (those who give "$100,000+"–per year, I assume, though that isn't clear), you'll find Exxon Mobil and Chevron (as well as Hess, another oil company). Included in the "President's Circle" (donors of at least $60,000) is Shell (along with BP). A number of other oil companies are listed as "Affiliates."
So to find out whether oil industry funding might have influenced a study, Wines went to someone who works for a think thank with numerous oil industry funders–including at least three of the companies who funded the study in question. And he didn't see any "red flags."
But perhaps Michael Levi isn't aware of his institution's petroleum backing? Perhaps CFR insulates its scholars from the influence of its funders (though in promoting "corporate membership," CFR sure gives the impression that corporate donors get the run of the place).

Well, Levi's full title is David M. Rubenstein Senior Fellow for Energy and the Environment and Director of the Program on Energy Security and Climate Change. And who, you might ask, is David M. Rubenstein?
Aside from being a vice chair of CFR's board of directors, he's the co-founder and co-CEO of the Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firm, noted for its ties to George W. Bush, James Baker and other high-level political figures. Energy is one of the investment fields Carlyle specializes in, and it recently escalated its energy holdings by buying a $424 million stake in NGP Energy Capital Management (for "Natural Gas Partnership"). Discussing the NGP purchase, Rubenstein (Bloomberg, 12/20/12) explained, "Energy, and particularly carbon-related energy, is the single most attractive global area in which to invest today."
And his senior fellow for energy and the environment doesn't think energy industry backing is a problem for an environmental study. Not much of a surprise there, either.
What might Wines have learned if he had talked to–and quoted–an expert who didn't have the same kind of energy industry ties that made the study at hand so problematic? Steve Horn of Desmog Blog (9/16/13) might have pointed out to him that "one of the report's co-authors currently works as a consultant for the oil and gas industry, while another formerly worked as a petroleum engineer before entering academia"–something many people would consider a "red flag."
Horn could also have pointed him to the critique of the study by Cornell University's Robert Howarth, who noted that "this study is based only on evaluation of sites and times chosen by industry":
Many other scientists have proven over the past 2 years that you can measure methane emissions from gas development without industry cooperation, for instance by using aircraft to fly over operations. Many studies have now been published, and many more presented at national scientific meetings, on methane emissions using techniques which capture the emissions at regional scales and do not require industry permission to sample… All of these studies are reporting upstream [well pad] emission estimates…10- to 20-fold higher than those reported in this new paper….
How can we explain this huge discrepancy?… [Industry does] it better when they know they are being carefully watched. When measurements are made at sites the industry chooses and at times the industry allows, emissions are lower than the norm.
So non-industry-funded studies have consistently found much higher rates of methane release, and there's reason to believe that those results are more comprehensive. That's kind of a red flag, wouldn't you say? Or maybe you wouldn't–if your salary depends in part on the generosity of Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Shell.

Collaboration for the Ka Ka Win Chealth: Transformations in Glass exhibition, November 2011.
The title of this exhibition, Ka Ka Win Chealth, is the traditional family name given to Joe David and passed to Preston Singletary in a ceremonial adoption in 2000 — its translation is "Orca Transforming" or "Wolf Transforming into Killerwhale." Joe David is from the Wolf crest of the Nuu-chah-nulth nation and Preston Singletary is of the Killerwhale clan of the Tlingit nation, so this name aptly fits both the artists and this exhibition. The relationship between these artists has been an interesting one and it continues to evolve both personally and professionally, as they are close friends, artists, and collaborators.

OK so teaching a kid to tie their own shoes can be one of the most difficult things to teach EVER! I never realized how difficult it was until about a month ago when my 6 year old asked me to teach her how to tie her shoes. How hard could it be right!? Well if you have ever tried to teach a child then you know what I'm talking about.
After several failed attempts at trying to teach the "bunny ears" method and the "wrap around method" (which I use) I had all but given up.
I was now starting to re-evaluate the benefits of Velcro…. until I found this "magic fingers" technique.
YES, this is what I was looking for – a simple way to tie shoes without 15 steps and a story about a bunny. I was able to teach my 6-year old how to tie her shoes in 5 minutes with this technique. So if you are trying to teach your child how to tie shoes…(or just want a faster way to tie your own)…give this technique a try!
Below is a video of my daughter tying her shoes using the technique described above. Soo easy using the magic fingers technique below.
Here is the technique explained in greater detail. The "magic fingers" technique…
Due to the overwhelming response – I've created some step-by-step screenshots of the magic fingers technique to help you out.
How To Tie Your Shoes:
Magic Fingers Style
Step 1
Cross the laces like normal
Step 2
(Right Hand) Put your thumb and first finger in front of lace – fingers facing toward you
(Left Hand) Put your thumb and first finger behind lace – fingers facing away from you
*Note: It is important that you grip the laces tightly with your pinky fingers at this point too.
Step 3
Pull your fingers forwards so you feel some tension and twist a little so that your fingers are facing each other.
Step 4
Pinch the laces in between the opposite fingers
Step 5
Pull through
Step 6
And you're done!
Updated Point Of View Video
Shoe tying starts at 1:07
Have you ever used this technique?
Have you ever taught a child to tie their shoes?
Which technique did you use?
Do you have a better one?

A few years ago, I was approached by a college friend of mine, Michelle Weber, about a photograph that won a BEEF Daily photo contest. The photo was an image of a baby calf trying to get his legs underneath him and stand up for the first time. Weber was inspired by the image and wanted to get permission from the photographer, Sarah Anderson, to paint it.
Check out 80+ photos of calves and cowboys (including Anderson's photo) here.
After seeing the final product, which is now available as a print called, "A New Beginning," I knew that Weber would make the perfect illustrator for my children's book, "Levi's Lost Calf." Weber agreed to help me bring my children's book to life, and the rest is history.
Since then, I've had a lot of fun reading my book at schools and libraries across the country and giving kids a taste of country life in the process.
When she's not outside helping her husband on their Red Angus ranch, Weber now keeps busy doing custom paintings for folks, as well as selling prints, note cards and other items on her website. I'm in love with her most recent painting of a Hereford herd bull, which she did as a custom piece for Claire Taylor. The painting now needs a caption, so I thought it would be fun to come full circle and have the BEEF Daily readers help Weber name this new print.
So, to kick off the month of August, BEEF Daily is hosting a photo caption contest! Your challenge is to title this print for Weber. The best title or caption will be awarded a $100 gift certificate that can be applied to a custom painting of your choice. Three honorable mentions will be selected to win a BEEF cap.
The contest will run until Wednesday, Aug. 7, at noon, with the winners to be announced on Aug. 8. Let's have some fun with this! Enter your best caption or title for this print in the comments section below. Good luck!
Here is the original photograph that Weber painted from:
Here is the finished product. Name this print!

Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., is confident the national 14 percent approval rating for Congress doesn't apply to him. He has unscientific survey results to prove it.
In a press release issued this week, the Big First congressman announced 89 percent of his constituents approve of his job performance in the nation's capital. We're actually surprised it isn't 100 percent, given the selection process involved in gathering the sample.
Nonetheless, when Huelskamp concludes he's "encouraged to know my representation of their interests in Washington has not gone unnoticed," he's entitled. And it's all harmless.
But when the congressman points to 74 percent of respondents saying: "... Kansans want no part of Obamacare, and want it defunded even if Senator Reid and President Obama force a government shutdown," he should not rely on the unscientific sample for justification of his actions on The Hill.
It was not long ago the most scientific of all surveys -- the March 2012 caucus results -- had Rick Santorum as the preferred candidate for the GOP nomination. Kansas awarded all of its 40 delegates to a candidate who eventually lost to Mitt Romney, who in turn lost to President Barack Obama. Using the First Congressional District in the Sunflower State to gauge the mood of the nation is hardly a reliable tool.
Still, Huelskamp and other tea party conservatives are following the lead of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who wasted 21 hours on the Senate floor this week trashing the Affordable Care Act. The obstructionist bloc is seeking to defund the law by attaching it to the 2014 spending bill and the upcoming debt ceiling increase. Both need expeditious approval as the new fiscal year begins Tuesday and the federal government will have exhausted its borrowing authority by Oct. 17. Failure to pass the first will result in a partial government shutdown; the second would lead to the first default in U.S. history. Neither should happen, for the good of the economy.
The so-called Obamacare is the law of the land, was vetted through the democratic process (including the U.S. Supreme Court), and goes into effect Tuesday. Even shutting the government down will not stop the president's signature domestic legislation from going into effect.
And even though virtually every Democrat in Washington and most Republicans understand this, the tea party conservatives refuse to grasp the reality of the situation. We're not convinced even Sen. Cruz understands what he's talking about. During his close-enough-to-call-it-a-filibuster, he brought up comparisons of those not fighting Obamacare to those in the 1930s who weren't fighting the rise of the Third Reich. Cruz even read the entire Dr. Seuss classic "Green Eggs and Ham." That wasn't lost on a number of scribes who pointed out after repeated assertions he would never like green eggs and ham, the children book's protagonist actually does like them -- once he tried them.
Cruz, Huelskamp and ilk are fighting a lost cause. Potentially jeopardizing the fragile U.S. economy with a futile, last-minute attempt to prevent uninsured Americans from receiving the elusive coverage makes no sense. Regardless of what Huelskamp's latest polls say.

The Military Order of the Purple Heart as thrown its support behind efforts to lower the ranking of a new medal intended for drone pilots and cyber warriors below those of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for valor.
"To rank what is basically an award for meritorious service higher than any award for heroism is degrading and insulting to every American combat Soldier, Airman, Sailor or Marine who risks his or her life and endures the daily rigors of combat in a hostile environment," the group said in a statement released Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, a Texas man has started a petition on the WhiteHouse.gov site calling for the lowering of the medal's precedence. The petition's creator, identified on the White House site by the initials "J.E.," called the current ranking of the Distinguished Warfare Medal "an injustice to those who have served and risked their lives."
As of Friday afternoon the petition had more than 200 signatures.The award was announced on Wednesday by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. He said the military needed a medal that recognizes that post-9/11 warfare is different, with servicemembers at consoles in the U.S. directly affecting the outcome of enemy engagements.
Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said he formally approved the medal in order to honor the contributions of drone and cyber warriors with a military decoration.
By Thursday, the Veterans of Foreign Wars came out opposing the medal's ranking and demanded it be lowered.
VFW National Commander John E. Hamilton said in a statement the status of the new medal could become a morale issue. He said the VFW recognizes the changed battlefield landscape and that drone pilots and cyber warfare specialists have a direct, real-time impact on operations, but that these troops do not face the same physical risks as those in combat.

Kansas Wildscape, Wildlife and Parks events held statewide throughout summer
LAWRENCE — The Kansas Wildscape Foundation works closely with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) on a number of programs, but Outdoor Kansas for Kids (O.K. Kids) may do more than any other to help promote the department's mission "to instill an understanding of our responsibilities to the land." O.K. Kids gets youngsters outside and into nature in ways that can make a lasting impact on their lives.
LAWRENCE — The Kansas Wildscape Foundation works closely with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) on a number of programs, but Outdoor Kansas for Kids (O.K. Kids) may do more than any other to help promote the department's mission "to instill an understanding of our responsibilities to the land." O.K. Kids gets youngsters outside and into nature in ways that can make a lasting impact on their lives.
Most kids no longer grow up in rural environments where knowledge of wildlife and the land are sewn into the fabric of their lives. That's where O.K. Kids comes in. The program's mission is "to provide multiple outdoor recreation opportunities for Kansas youth with adult partnering and mentoring to encourage outdoor recreational opportunities and promote and provide an active lifestyle as an alternative to sedentary activities."
That's good news for kids and conservation of the land. O.K. Kids covers the entire state of Kansas. Most events are held at the Kansas state parks, but other venues, such as city and county parks and recreation departments and private sites also hold O.K. Kids events. More than 50 sites host O.K. Kids events annually. Participation has steadily grown, with more than 13,000 Kansas youth and their parents or grandparents enjoying the outdoors at 46 different sites across Kansas in 2010. Events are free to all participants and open to all.
Through these events, youth learn about Kansas natural resources and wildlife primarily through games and activities. Staff at each site determine specific activities offered to participants based on local resources and perceived community interests and needs. Kansas Wildscape Foundation provides the operating manuals, event signage, free participant caps or T-shirts, gifts, and prizes, as well as overall organizational, promotional, and marketing support. Not all activities are nature-oriented, but all are outdoors in settings that expose youth to nature. Events include activities such as fishing derbies and clinics, wingshooting instruction, horseshoes, mini-triathlons, scavenger hunts, volleyball, sack races, archery, bird watching, birdhouse building, hiking, bike safety clinics, outdoor cooking contests, and much more.
The following is a list of 2011 O.K. Kids Day events throughout the state. For more information, phone 785-843-9453 or 1-866-655-4377, firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit O.K.

On Wearing White
What you choose to wear should be based on your personal experience. Because it's real to you. Not because someone else thinks you should do it, or you want to look a certain way to gain attention, or to put on an act.
It is a privilege to always look good, and to always look royal. Look good because you are good. Look royal because you are royal in your consciousness. Let your clothing project your pure self-identity.
How you dress can always be a personal choice. When you choose to dress with grace, dignity, modesty, and elegance, it can strengthen your projection and become a tool to help you expand your consciousness.
Projection and Impact
Elegant, white dress makes you visible to people. It gives you impact and projection. The only way you can connect to someone so that they can remember you is if you impact them with your projection. Dressing in white can expand your projection and your energy, much, much more than when you dress like everyone else. When your style of dress is a reflection of your own commitment to your inner reality, it creates a subtle communication with other people. The impact and projection says to someone, "This person is different. I've got to talk to this person. Maybe this person can help me."
We want to serve others. We want to be able to protect others. How can you serve or protect if other people don't even know you're there? You have to be visible. That requires courage. It requires that you be secure in your self and that you enjoy who you are in relation to your higher self. Then you can serve and protect from the core of your own purity and consciousness.
Expand Your Aura
Each day, you can expand your aura and increase your openness and neutrality by wearing dignified clothes that are white or ivory, made from cotton, silk, or wool. Wearing white expands your aura and creates a powerful interface between you and your environments. The spectrum of light energy that makes up the color white contains the energies of all colors. By wearing white, all the colors are available to support and enhance the aura and the eight chakras. Natural fibers act as energy conduits. The fibers interact with your surroundings to conduct prana inward and filter out negative or chaotic energy.
Yogi Bhajan on Wearing White
"We wear white because it's a simple scientific fact that every piece of matter or material has a foot and a half aura. Every animal has a three and a half foot aura. Every human has a nine foot aura. And if we wear cotton and we wear white, this color therapy gives us one extra foot of aura."
"I trust my students will behave right. But in case they behave like animals, they will still have a margin, an edge. That is what it's all about. You have to wear a natural fiber and you have to wear white. It's a pure color therapy and it's called auric color therapy." [Beads of Truth, Spring 1981]
"We adopted this color because of our background and to support our development. We ask you to wear white so that you will reflect what is outside and go within yourself—that's what white clothes can do for you."
"When you are totally dressed in white, the entire face reflects it, and then it is very difficult to become intimate. Wearing white demands that the other person deal with you on a higher level, because that person has to concentrate himself in order to advance."
"The most difficult thing on this planet is to wear white top to bottom; but it is also the greatest therapy. Some people think we are laying a trip. We are not laying a trip on anyone. We wear yellow. We wear blue. We know these colors, and we know their reaction. Sit in your own living room with a yellow house turban on—and then a white house turban. You will find the difference. Colors create an uncontrollable action in your subconscious mind of inspiration, productivity and expansion. Colors have an excessive effect on consciousness."
"We wanted to develop a very fast, progressive, spiritual and technical method of all the colors, so we have adopted the one color of the seven colors, which is white. To you, white is just one color, but to me it is the total balance of seven colors." [Summer 1975, published in I Am a Woman, p. 156.]

Big-Time Moochers
Dr. Phil's guests say they have a moocher in their midst, but they don't know how to kick this freeloader to the curb! If you have adult children still living at home, learn how to help them stand on their own feet.
Karen and Rex say they're tired of their 24-year-old twins, Andrew and Justin, still living at home. They say their sons don't pay for rent, groceries or utilities, and to make matters worse are disrespectful and verbally abusive. The twins feel their parents owe them a lavish lifestyle, and say their father never enforces the eviction notices he gives them, so why would they ever leave?
Will the couple be empowered to kick their grown kids out of their house?
Siblings Kermeth, Patrice and Portia say they're fed up with their younger brother, George, bumming off their mom. They say he can't keep a job, lives rent free and even stole his niece's TV and sold it for gas money! George says he feels like the family outcast, and he's doing the best he can.
What can this family do to help their little brother get back on track?

Barnard 33,
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 ) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion.[1] The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The nebula was first recorded in 1888 by Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming on photographic plate B2312 taken at the Harvard College Observatory. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.[2]

- External links 4
The dark cloud of dust and gas is a region in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex where star formation is taking place. It is located in the constellation of Orion, which, seen from the northern hemisphere, is prominent in the sky on winter evenings. This stellar nursery, as it is known, can contain over 100 known kinds of organic and inorganic gases as well as dust; some of the latter is made up of large and complex organic molecules.
The red or pinkish glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. Magnetic fields channel the gases leaving the nebula into streams, shown as streaks in the background glow.[3] A glowing strip of hydrogen gas marks the edge of the massive cloud, and the densities of nearby stars are noticeably different on either side
The heavy concentrations of dust in the Horsehead Nebula region and neighbouring Orion Nebula are localized, resulting in alternating sections of nearly complete opacity and transparency.[4] The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust blocking the light of stars behind it.[5] The lower part of the Horsehead's neck casts a shadow to the left.[6] The visible dark nebula emerging from the gaseous complex is an active site of the formation of "low-mass" stars. Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula's base are young stars just in the process of forming. It has a magnitude of .11.

When used for display purposes the organic, painted texture of Handu's glyphs really shines. At smaller point-sizes the hand-drawn aesthetic still translates.
Handu comes in two styles, regular and shadow. Use each independently or overlay them for a little youthful emphasis.

BLAINE, Minn. (Blugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire men's hockey team won its fourth straight game, maintaining an undefeated start to the season for the first time since 2008. The Blugolds recorded the win against Bethel University (Minn.) on the road in a 3-2 victory.
The game began with a high scoring first period in which both teams scored two goals.
The Blugolds broke the tie in the second period when Jordan Singer (Sr.-Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial) scored with 30 seconds left in the period.
The Blugolds' offense had plenty of opportunities, recording 40 shots throughout the game. Singer and Mark Pustin (Jr.-Northridge, Calif./Granada Hills) both had six shots in the game, leading the Blugolds.
Andrew McCabe (Sr.-Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial) and Singer each had one goal and one assist tonight.
Alex Bjerk (Sr.-Roseau, Minn.) played the full game in net for the Blugolds, stopping 22 of the Royals' 24 shots.
The Blugolds will look to continue their strong start this season when they play two games at St. Scholastica (Minn.) next weekend, the first on Friday at 7 p.m.

Thanks btw...the pic is likely useless, as was the woman who sold it to me. She'd not set it up since the 80s. Got it at a military surplus auction 20 years ago...I am not completely sure all the pieces are even there...But man is the canvas THICK and sturdy. Indiana Jones would sleep in it.

While enjoying working international and following my strong entrepreneurial affinity I took the opportunity to be responsible establishing a new Nearshore Entity for BearingPoint in Romania beginning 2007. In 2016 I have established a new BearingPoint entity in Czech.
Currently I am leading a team of over 400 people in our 4 offices in Bucharest, Sibiu, Timisoara and Prague who serve international and local clients.
I joined the company as an SAP Consultant with a focus on Production and Supply Chain Management in the Industrial Equipment & Manufacturing Industries. Taking a typical career path in the consulting world I began to acquire projects fast and manage multiple teams successfully on a global basis.
Be entrepreneurial – follow your passion in building something great from scratch!

Stop keeping secrets: list all fragrance ingredients!
For a company that prides itself on transparency, SC Johnson sure is keeping a lot of secrets. You've said that you're committed to "sharing what's inside your products" – but you don't share which fragrance ingredients are in Glade and other SC Johnson products. Because of SC Johnson's secrecy around fragrance ingredients, there's no way for me to avoid certain fragrance chemicals in your products.
Your master list of nearly 1,500 fragrance chemicals is not useful to me because it doesn't associate those chemicals with products. I want to know what's in the particular scents that I'm buying and using in my home. I have a right to know what fragrance chemicals are in the specific products I use—especially when those ingredients may harm my health, like allergens, synthetic musks, and terpenes.
SC Johnson has the opportunity to do the right thing and become the first major company to break the toxic secrecy around fragrance ingredients. You want your consumers to trust your products – what better way to achieve that than to be truly transparent about which chemicals are in which products?
You've said that listening and responding to consumers is your top priority. Please respond to my concerns and disclose all fragrance ingredients on a product-specific basis.

SC Johnson (Glade©, Windex©, Pledge©, and more) says they're committed to "honesty" and "transparency" - but they keep harmful fragrance ingredients in their products a secret.
This is a serious problem, because we know that SC Johnson uses harmful chemicals like synthetic musks, allergens, terpenes, and petroleum in their fragrances. Learn more. This is unacceptable. We have a right to know what's in the products we're using in our homes.
We have the power to convince SC Johnson to be truly transparent. They've said it themselves: "As a family company, listening and responding to consumers is SC Johnson's top priority." Please take a moment to tell SC Johnson to stop keeping toxic secrets and list all fragrance ingredients.
Our health is precious. We have the right to the information we need to protect it.

As I listened to financial analysts grumble about how Microsoft continues to pour its hard-earned software profits back into its online services effort, I couldn't help but think that maybe Microsoft is on to something.
Wouldn't newspaper industry analysts have had the same grumbles if the Gannetts and Knight Ridders of the world had poured a huge chunk of their profits into online ventures a decade ago at a time when their ad revenues were still enjoying healthy growth? And wouldn't they now say such a move, if well done, would have been brilliant?
Newspapers have traditionally been funded by things like classified advertising in areas like real estate, help wanted, and car sales. Had one of the newspaper companies seen the online threat and said, "We need to own those categories online," perhaps they would be in better shape. Instead, they are faced trying to reinvent themselves at a time when their revenue is in sharp decline.
Of course, it's not a direct parallel. There's an argument to be made that, while newspapers were inevitably going to lose revenue to online sources, Microsoft could steer clear of advertising by focusing on business software.
But if the biggest long-term threat to Windows and Office is free rivals and Web-based services, shouldn't Microsoft be using a significant fraction of its profits to develop its online advertising capacity?
A long-term battle between Microsoft and Google is shaping up. The question is whose economic engine will be stronger. Google is funding its legions of data centers and armies of engineers via online advertising, while Microsoft is using Windows.
Importantly, after reporting weak Windows results in April, Microsoft saw that unit post healthy and better-than-expected 15 percent growth for the most recent quarter.
Obviously, Microsoft needs to execute better on the Web. Pouring money into online ventures is only good if it produces returns. To date, Microsoft has not seen the kind of gains it will need to have to make it pay off. Some newspaper companies did, for example, build online job sites and auto sites and just weren't able to grab enough money to replace the ad dollars being lost. It's not enough to see the threat and try. To prove the grumblers wrong, Microsoft will have to do more than throw money online. It will have to win.

J Brzeski necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 30 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Standard Capital, LLC - http://www.stndcap.com
I am a real estate investment professional who also teaches a course about the same topic at UCLA Extension. I really enjoy what I do. My 250-page book is designed for students in my course and also for clients and potential investors in my projects. The goal of my book is to build credibility for me and my business.
I really enjoy color in painting and illustrations. I like to see the texture of things and shading. I don't so much like the "computer-generated look". I appreciate and enjoy artwork.
Our culture is highly professional and dependable but also young, up-and-coming. My company is only three years old and I am trying hard to build it into a respected established business that is "the best at what we do"--namely, finding solid real estate investments in California and neighboring states.
This project is not technically for my company, it is a personal effort. I will use it for company marketing however I am not aiming to have the branding of the book coordinate with our company branding. The book needs to stand on its own.
My book is aimed at my current clients and potential new clients. These include real estate investors and owners such as very wealthy families; real estate professionals such as brokers and lawyers; and other finance industry professionals and investment companies, including banks with whom I might do business. My audience will appreciate a sophisticated look--something that could conceivably hang on the wall of a beautiful house owned by someone with very good taste.
6 inches wide x max 9 inches tall. The design consists of a man and a woman deciding which of three roads to take. They are standing together but not holding hands. The roads might be labeled with signs, such as a three-way directional sign. The choices are:
1. Apartments
2. Shopping Centers
3. Industrial Buildings
The words on the signs might be written in cursive writing rather than block letters, so that the overall effect is more artistic and not too harsh or literal.
Each road leads off into the distance. The overall appearance should be very inviting...the places that the roads go should look appealing, in the same way that the hills are lush and green and the sky is peasant in this example:
It is possible that there could be small buildings that look like apartments, shopping centers and industrial buildings off in the distance where the roads go...but that is not necessary.
I would like for the couple to look like a modern, wealthy couple in their 40s or 50s. They could be dressed in suits but they could just as well be dressed with more individualistic clothing. Also, they do not need to look very realistic. They could also be stylized people. There is room for creativity here.
The single most important item is to make the cover beautiful. Even if you don't win the contest, I promise to look at and appreciate every submission!

PADI 5 Star IDC CDC Center in the Gili Islands, Indonesia
Trawangan Dive offers first class facilities in which to take the PADI IDC Gili Islands IDC with Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod at the only PADI Career Development Center on Gili Trawangan.
Trawangan Dive is the first PADI 5 Star Career Development Center in the Gili Islands and is the leading professional instructor training center in the region. The Career Development Center status is only given to dive centers with the highest rated facilities for Instructor training and a proven track record in training dive professionals as well as the ability to offer post IDC career support and job placement.
Platinum status is awarded to PADI Course Directors who regularly train successful IDC candidates through to Open Water Scuba instructor status and beyond. It is the highest rating achievable within the PADI professional ratings system and any candidate looking to complete their IDC with an experienced and recognized Course Director should look for this rating.
The Instructor training program is based on an 11 day schedule plus 5 days of pre IDC preparation training designed to ensure that our candidates make the best possible transition onto the PADI IDC Indonesia Program. Trawangan Dive has 2 training pools, a dedicated IDC classroom with the most up to date materials and 3 dive boats. The program has been developed over the years and is designed for candidates to get the best possible start within the industry and is constantly evolving to improve training schedules to give each individual candidate the time and support to work on the areas of training that they need most.
During the pre IDC preparation program candidates will review the dive knowledge and skills learnt during their Divemaster Course. The PADI IDC Indonesia team will spend time with each candidate assisting them in refreshing their demonstration level skill circuits, rescue practice and the all-important dive theory study sessions. We also take the time to work with each candidate to understand any changes to the PADI curriculum or training programs that may have been updated since their DM training.
The PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Course is split between theory and practical sessions. We train candidates in the standards, organization and conduct of each individual PADI program and then run practical workshops where candidates will practice running their own courses and skill development sessions with their own students. Candidates receive immediate feedback at all levels with the aim of helping them to improve their teaching style and skills and become the best PADI Instructors possible.

October 24th, 2013, 04:26 PM
My Dad and fellow Masters swimmer Herb Siegel passed away yesterday at age 91. He grew up in New York City during the Depression and taught himself to swim by emulating Johnny Weissmuller. He was a lifelong fitness swimmer, but I encouraged him to join USMS in 1999 following the death of my mother. He began competing, accumulating a total of ten top ten times and winning numerous medals in local, state, and national meets. Competitive swimming gave his life purpose and meaning. His fondest memory was swimming with his son and his granddaughter at short course nationals in Greensboro last year. He continued swimming right up until three weeks before his death, incorporating drills and interval training into his 2500 yard workouts. He told me last weekend that he regretted not having had the opportunity to compete in his new age group.
