Anime Update: Guinea Pig: Pet Shop Private Eye Books 4 and 5

I'm enjoying the Guinea Pig: Pet Shop Private Eye series so much that the books have joined my permanent collection. (Not an easy hurdle to pass, given that space is at a premium right now.) They have a lot of re-read value, and they always pick up my mood with their humor and animal antics.

I've previously covered the first three books in the series:

  • Hamster and Cheese
  • And Then There Were Gnomes
  • The Ferret's a Foot

Now I'm catching up on the two most recent. Fish You Were Here came out last summer, while Raining Cats and Detectives is new this month.

Fish You Were Here begins with the very confused pet shop owner, Mr. Venezi, trying to hire an assistant. Amongst his missteps, he somehow manages to hire Viola, who seems like the perfect choice. She actually knows what all the animals want most. Unfortunately, that makes Mr. V feel unwanted, so tension arises.

The character interaction is what makes this series so charming. Sasspants, the guinea pig, walks the line between suspicious and insightful in her observations ' that's what makes her the great detective. Hamisher's more ebullient passion for art and imagination provides lots of funny lines and silly ideas that are quite entertaining. The fish are nearly mindless in their groupthink but good-hearted, even if they can't even remember their own names. It's all drawn with plenty of expression while keeping the fuzzy creatures cute. Oh, and the fish are cute, too.

In their quest to find Mr. V, the detective duo leaves the pet shop, showing off some of their clever inventions and also visiting with the mice neighbors. It all works out ok, with Viola learning to balance work ethic and watching TV on her laptop, once the pets teach her a lesson, and Mr. V learns that everyone's needed to be part of the big store family.

This is so much a world I want to be part of, from the wide-ranging friendships and cozy community of the animals to the charming neighborhood shops. The opening page of Fish You Were Here shows a diverse group of applicants hanging outside the pet shop, in a row with a bookstore and a bakery and ice cream store. What a lovely area to envision!

Raining Cats and Detectives tackles the difficult question of what happens when some of the pets are bought and have to leave the store. We also meet Tummytickles, the sleepy bookstore cat. The owner, Charlotte, and her niece, Bree, visit as well.

The gags fly fast and furious, with all kinds of creative combinations surprising me. Hamisher's trying to make case files for their new detective office, and his portraits are great. Then comes a new owner for Sasspants, a real-life detective. The other animals try to cope with her absence, while she meets the other inhabitants of her new home ' including some really smart fish! It's silly fun how the other animals think that you become a detective when you put on the right hat. Makes for some charming visuals, though, with even the fish in fedoras. The overall problem, of not wanting any of the animals to actually leave, is even solved in a clever way.

A Crystal-Clear Explanation Of Why It Is Not A ... - Business Insider

Union Square Ventures partner Fred Wilson has written a post explaining why it is not a negative signal for Facebook that the venture capitalists who originally funded the company are now taking huge profits selling their stock on the public markets.

Wilson's post hit the nail on the head, particularly in his last paragraph, which reads:

To all the folks out there who are shocked and outraged at all the insider selling going on, I would suggest they park their outrage at the door of capitalism. Those who took the risk of losing all the capital they bet on 20 year old Mark Zuckerberg are entitled to their return. And they will get it. And anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand.

Bingo.

Here's the whole thing:

There is a lot of sturm und drang out there in the worlds of social media, finacial media, and just plain media about all the lockups coming off and all the insider selling going on in some big internet stocks. As someone who has played this game a few times, I tought I'd post some thoughts about this.

First and foremost, this post has nothing to do with what USV has done, might do, or is thinking about doing with specific stocks we might own or not. That's a disclaimer for those who aren't familiar with one.

When a venture backed company goes public and is worth billions (or even hundreds of millions), the investors who provided the early capital to that company are going to be sitting on a lot of stock. They can easily own 15-20% or more of these companies. But even if they own less than 10% (as Accel Partners does in Facebook), they can be looking at billions of dollars of value.

It is an investors job to return capital. I will say that again. It is an investors job to return capital. That is how we are measured. Paper gains are fine. But at the end of the day, an investor will be measured by the amount of cash or liquid stock they return divided by the amount of cash that was invested in their fund. A multiple of three is good for a venture capital fund. A multiple of five is great. A multiple of ten is once a decade.

When an investor is looking at a single holding being worth three, five, or possibly ten times their entire fund, you can be sure they are looking to lock in that gain. That's a recipe for fantastic performance and the downside of not locking that in is a lot bigger than the upside of another one or two times their fund size.

And then there's the question of whether venture capital firms are good public market investors and whether they should be managing/holding public stocks. I don't have any hard data here, but my anecdotal data says that we are terrible public market investors. That is why many VC firms have a policy of moving the public stocks out of their portfolios as quickly as they can.

I think that is a good policy. Venture capital is about capturing the value between the startup phase and the public company phase. Others should be focused on capturing the value post the public offering.

So let's go back to the expiration of lockups and the waves of insider selling that result. This is to be expected and in fact is expected by the public markets. Look at all of the short positions that get built up in the locked up newly minted public companies in the weeks before the lockups come off. Investors know that a ton of stock is going to hit the markets and they make bets that it will impact the stock price and in most cases it does impact the stock price. As JLM likes to say "this generation did not invent sex." This has been going on since I got into the venture capital business in the mid 80s and I expect its been going on for a lot longer than that.

So to all the folks out there who are shocked and outraged at all the insider selling going on, I would suggest they park their outrage at the door of capitalism. Those who took the risk of losing all the capital they bet on 20 year old Mark Zuckerberg are entitled to their return. And they will get it. And anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand.

Lawmaker's 'rape' gaffe pushes abortion into US race

White House rivals President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney condemned Monday a Republican lawmaker's shock claim that women can prevent pregnancy during rape, sparking an abortion debate likely to impact the election campaign.

But while Romney scrambled to distance his campaign from his party ally's statement, Obama seized on the gaffe to embarrass his opponent and underline the gap between their positions.

Congressman Todd Akin, his party's nominee for the Senate race in Missouri, triggered outrage Sunday when he said a woman's body can block an unwanted pregnancy during what he termed a "legitimate rape."

Akin's claim, which is unsupported by science, has been used in the past by some Christian conservatives to justify their opposition to abortion, even those in cases of rape.

But even as Akin defiantly refused to bow out Monday, the walls were rapidly closing in on the congressman, with the Republican Party reportedly shutting off funding for him and flagbearer Romney quick to condemn the remarks.

Several other high-ranking party figures, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, fearful of seeing the Republican plan to woo women and independent voters away from Democrats derailed, also waded in.

Obama acknowledged Romney had distanced himself, but nevertheless found a way to twist the knife during an appearance at the White House briefing room, telling reporters: "First of all, the views expressed were offensive.

"Rape is rape, and the idea we should be parsing... what types of rape we are talking about doesn't make sense to the American people," he said, quickly turning to the broader issue of abortion rights.

"What I think that these comments do underscore is why we should not have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women," Obama said.

Akin's remark angered Romney.

"Congressman Akin's comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong," Romney told the conservative National Review Online. "Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive."

In his comments, Akin had appeared to suggest that some women falsely allege rape in order to justify abortion. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," he said.

Romney dismissed this claim and said: "I have an entirely different view. What he said is entirely without merit and he should correct it."

Amid a growing backlash, Akin apologized, saying on the Mike Huckabee Show, a syndicated radio program, that he used "absolutely the wrong word" and that his comments were "a very, very serious error."

But he also suggested he was not going to stand down in his race against incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill.

"I'm not a quitter. My belief is we're going to take this thing forward, and by the grace of God, to win this race," Akin said.

While he said no one from the Romney campaign had called him to demand he stand down, several Republicans publicly urged Akin to pull out, including Senator Scott Brown, from Massachusetts where Romney was once governor.

"Not only should he apologize, but I believe Representative Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for US Senate."

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus gave voice to what many Republicans were undoubtedly thinking.

"If it was me I would do the right thing and step aside," Priebus told Missouri's KMOX radio.

Akin's remarks also have been seized upon by Democrats, including McCaskill, who was fundraising on Akin's remarks.

"For most Missourians I hope this is one of those gut check moments when they realize this is not somebody we want speaking for us and for our values on the floor of the United States Senate," she told MSNBC news.

Despite his condemnation of Akin's outburst, and his pro-choice position during his time as Massachusetts governor, Romney is campaigning on an anti-abortion ticket.

He wants the US Supreme Court, whose members are appointed by the president, to overturn "Roe V. Wade", the landmark 1973 ruling that upholds the legality of abortion.

Romney's vice-presidential running mate, congressman Paul Ryan, partnered with Akin in 2009 to co-sponsor a "personhood bill" which declared a fertilized egg is entitled to the same legal rights as a person, and would have essentially outlawed abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

"I'm as pro-life as a person gets," Ryan told the conservative Weekly Standard magazine in 2010.

Friendship or relationship? HELP - The Student Room

There are a few ways where you are being unreasonable and a few that you deserve the right to be.

Unless he questions you when you hang out with your mates, i do not think it is appropriate in your part to do the same thing. There is always a stage (mostly) where a guy will spend more time with another girl if she shows him more interest or gives him more attention than you do. This could develop into a fling or it could just die off if you gave him more face time.

If he brings her up a lot or try hard to meet up or spend time with her then it could be for the reason i just mentioned, you should try and give him more attention and hope that he has not done anything to ruin your relationship.

Also, do you trust him enough to leave him with this Emma girl while your at Uni? The more i think about it, the more it seems like your the only one at this stage who cares about the direction this whole thing is heading. You could simply ask him if he has done anything and make it clear to him that you do not give second chances. His reaction to that should really give you an idea of what to do next.

Hope all is well though.

Director Tony Scott had inoperable brain cancer

Tony Scott, director of "Top Gun," "Days of Thunder" and "Crimson Tide," had inoperable brain cancer, a source close to him told ABC News.

The famed director died Sunday after jumping from a bridge in Los Angeles, authorities said.

Police said they received a 911 call at about 12:30 p.m. that an individual had jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The body was recovered around 3 p.m., when it was identified by authorities as Scott, according to Lt. Joseph Bale of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed today.

The Coroner's Office found several notes to loved ones in Scott's car, a spokesman told The Associated Press. A suicide note was later found at his office, according to the AP.

"I can confirm that Tony Scott has passed away. The family asks that their privacy is respected at this time," Scott's spokesman, Simon Halls, said in a statement, according to the AP.

Scott, 68, was perhaps best known for directing "Top Gun," starring Tom Cruise in 1986, which went on to gross more than $300 million worldwide, according to IMDB.com. The duo worked again in the 1990 film "Days of Thunder."

The British-born director also frequently worked with Denzel Washington, most recently in the 2010 film "Unstoppable." They collaborated on four other films: "Crimson Tide," "Man on Fire," "Deja Vu" and "The Taking of Pelham 123."

Scott was the younger brother of producer and director Ridley Scott. Together, the brothers formed their own production company, Scott Free Productions. Their company produced the CBS dramas "NUMB3RS" and "The Good Wife."The 2012 blockbuster "Prometheus" was the latest film released by their production company.

Other Tony Scott films include "True Romance," written by Quentin Tarantino, "The Fan," with Robert De Niro, and "Enemy of the State," starring Will Smith.

In a tweet Sunday, director Ron Howard said, "No more Tony Scott movies. Tragic day."

"Most of the obits for Tony Scott will mention "Top Gun" first, but my favorite will always be "True Romance." RIP," tweeted film critic Richard Roeper.

Scott was survived by his wife, Donna, and their twin sons.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ryan honed conservative economic views at Miami U.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) ? Growing up quickly after his father's unexpected death, a young Paul Ryan found direction for his life at Ohio's Miami University. His interest in politics and economics ? Republican and conservative ? thrived during his four years on the small-town campus.

Thought of as a smart and serious student but also friendly and outgoing, Ryan was part of the college's influential Greek community as a Delta Tau Delta. He ventured into elective politics as a low-level volunteer for the congressional campaign of state legislator John Boehner, now the U.S. House speaker.

The young Ryan, Class of 1992, honed a conservative bent with the help of an enthusiastic professor who served as mentor and sounding board in hourslong sessions on politics. He also studied economic thinkers such as Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and others who believed in individuals and market forces over government solutions.

"The core beliefs were already there," Miami professor Rich Hart said Tuesday of his former pupil. "I think he was just honing them with his studies, strengthening his belief in empowering individuals. ... It all kind of gravitated back to what the role of government was in society."

Ryan was scheduled to lead a rally Wednesday at Miami's campus in Oxford, about 40 miles north of Cincinnati. When he was a freshman, in 1988, Miami was growing in popularity as a leading academic-bang-for-the-buck public university dubbed by one author as among "The Public Ivys."

Lisa Rippe, from Ryan's Janesville, Wis., hometown and high school, said Ryan had asked her how she liked Miami; she gave him positive reviews, and he soon was part of her carpool for the six- to seven-hour drive to southwest Ohio.

The liberal arts school of 14,000 students prided itself on its teachers and the kind of personal availability that Ryan found with Hart, who Ryan has said challenged him and set him on "a vision quest" to improve the nation's economics.

Hart had Ryan, an economics/political science double major, in a junior-level macroeconomics class designed to be a "weeder" ? loaded with analytics and math, it wasn't meant to help grade-point averages.

Ryan had little trouble mastering the work, Hart said, and he stood out with an intellectual curiosity that brought him frequently to Hart's office to talk things out. They dissected what they saw as flaws in Keynesian economics and government approaches, and traded thoughts on writings such F.A. Hayek's 1944 warning against state control, "The Road to Serfdom," and Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," about creative and productive individuals rebelling against increasing government control and taxation.

Hart doesn't remember Ryan ever discussing plans to run for office, but he said he wasn't surprised when Ryan asked for a recommendation for an internship in the office of Sen. Bob Kasten, R-Wis., which Ryan landed, or when Ryan went to work after college for New York congressman Jack Kemp. Hart considered Kemp, with his optimism and font of conservative ideas, a natural political mentor for Ryan.

Ryan had joined the College Republicans and took on tasks such as putting up yard signs and knocking on doors for Boehner, who would win election in Republican-dominated Butler County in 1990 to the seat he still holds today.

Miami's political connections go back to President Benjamin Harrison, Class of 1852. Vice President George H.W. Bush campaigned on the Miami campus in 1988, Ryan's freshman year, and the campus was among the settings for George Clooney's 2011 presidential politics thriller "The Ides of March."

Ryan stayed in the Anderson Hall dormitory his freshman year, then moved to the Delta Tau Delta house. Several Greek houses were founded at Miami, and about a third of its undergraduates are in fraternities or sororities.

A younger fraternity brother recalls Ryan participating in fraternity parties, but not to excess.

"He was a pretty conservative guy, and with a very good sense of humor," said Michal Loisel. "He liked to engage in conversation, and with a little more depth than the 'Where did you go last night?' and 'How much did you drink?'"

Loisel, now an assistant prosecutor in Lucas County, Ohio, remembers Ryan as not engaging in the heavy-handed hazing of pledges. "He was one of the guys you could talk to. He wouldn't belittle you," Loisel said.

By his senior year, Ryan was obviously very popular, said Tom Hall, an economics professor who had him in a class on business cycles.

"There's always some senioritis in the last semester, but he was glad to be there. He had a good attitude about learning," Hall said. "His fellow students liked him a lot. That came across. ... When you are a teacher, you can tell who the other students like."

Hall added, "I just remember thinking this guy would do well in whatever he does."

Ryan was his alma mater's commencement speaker three years ago. He reflected then upon the importance of his time amid Miami's red-brick Georgian buildings after his father's death from a heart attack in 1986.

"I came to Oxford after a very difficult high school experience in which I lost my father," Ryan said. "It was here at Miami where I was able to find myself. I found a sense of direction, and a sense of identity."

Striving Simply: Family Home Evening

As you may or may not remember, *B* and I wanted to try family home evening a while back. We picked a night, but more often than not, it would be like every other night. We don't really have TV, just Netflix, so we tended to spend a lot of time together. We stopped being purposeful about having that night together, but our relationship didn't suffer.

Now that Miss F has come along, we find ourselves spending much less quality time together. Many days I hand her off to him and work on house work I couldn't get done with her, or space out if it's been a rough day.

The one exception has been Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, we walk to the local library, then to the farmers' market. It's a nice time, but the farmers' market isn't open year round, and at some point it'll be too cold to walk. To complicate things, I plan on going back to my part time job in a couple of weeks, and *B* starts school again soon. So one evening a week is really going to be the most we get together.

My mom took Miss F for the night on Friday, and *B* and I got to have that quality time once again.? It was amazingly refreshing.? It really helped us solidify the fact that we need to be purposeful in our time together.? While Miss F is too young for family board games, we can try to come up with things that the three of us can do together.? For a little while during *B*'s paternity leave, I would listen to him read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Miss F.? That might be our FHE until we can come up with a new plan for FHE with a wee one.

What did you do for FHE when the kids were little?

Ad attacking Obama over super-PAC cancer video to air in Iowa ...

Mitt Romney's campaign is expanding its ad buy for a commercial questioning President Obama's character over a super-PAC video linking the GOP presidential candidate to the death of a woman from cancer.

The Romney ad will now air in the key swing state of Iowa, to coincide with the president?s three-day trip there, the campaign confirmed Tuesday to The Hill.

"What does it say about a president?s character when his campaign tries to use the tragedy of a woman?s death for political gain?" asks the narrator in the Romney commercial first unveiled Friday. ?What does it say about a president?s character when he had his campaign raise money for the ad, then stood by as his top aides were caught lying about it??

The ad shows clips from media reports and commenters criticizing the controversial ad from the pro-Obama Priorities USA political action committee.?

?Doesn?t America deserve better than a president who will say or do anything to stay in power?? the Romney ad concludes.?

The super-PAC video in question featured a former steel worker, Joe Soptic, who said he lost his job and healthcare benefits after his company was bought and shuttered by Bain Capital, the private-equity firm formerly headed by Romney. Soptic suggests that his wife, who subsequently died of cancer, failed to seek adequate healthcare because she feared they could not afford treatment.

Reports, though, say Soptic?s wife died six years after Bain bought her husband?s company and that she had health insurance through her own employer. Romney was also not in charge of the investment firm when her husband was let go.

Romney?s team has kept pressure on the Obama campaign over the ad, claiming it is an unfair attack, but the president?s advisers say they had nothing to do with the Priorities USA video and cannot, under election law, coordinate with the super-PAC.?

?I don?t have any control over that ad. I?m not part of Priorities super-PAC. I?ve never raised money for Priorities super-PAC,? said Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs in an interview Monday.?

On Sunday, senior adviser David Axelrod rebuffed suggestions that the ad was blaming Romney for the death of Soptic?s wife.

?I don't think Gov. Romney can be blamed for that woman's death. What he can be blamed for is taking that steel company to bankruptcy, walking away with millions of dollars, and leaving workers without pensions, without the health coverage they were promised,? he said.

The super-PAC ad has not been broadcast, and Priorities has not clarified if it will actually air.?

Doom and gloom: Olympic wins trump critics

LONDON (AP) ? For skeptics, the Olympics were deliciously doomed: London's transport network would surely fail, Britain's athletes would flop, rain would prevail and terrorists would strike. But then the sun came out after months of sodden skies, vehicles moved briskly, there were no attacks and British athletes reeled in a shocking 65 medals.

On Monday, as international athletes and visitors poured out of London and the city's 8 million residents resumed their normal lives, British officials hailed the 2012 Olympics as an unqualified success. Even the naysayers predicting doom and gloom had to eat their words.

"I was moaning like everyone else before the games, thinking the roads would be packed and nothing would work," said London shopkeeper Yvette Tracton, 28. "But it's been brilliant."

Some 116,000 people were leaving Monday from Heathrow airport, London's busiest hub, compared with 95,000 for a typical August day. Gatwick Airport was handling 70,000 departing passengers, 15 percent more than usual. Airports had come under scrutiny in the months leading up to the Olympics for lacking the staff to deal with backlogs of people and luggage, but Monday's crowds moved through without a hitch.

The exodus included thousands of athletes and Prime Minister David Cameron, who was heading on vacation to the Mediterranean.

Heathrow built a temporary Olympics terminal with 31 check-in desks to accommodate departing athletes and support staff. The terminal was decorated like a park, and some staff wore bearskin hats in the style of Buckingham Palace guards.

"I have to say to Britain, you guys did a great job," said passenger Tumua Anae, a 23-year-old Californian who won gold as part of the U.S. water polo team.

London's quirky mayor, Boris Johnson, gloated to reporters, saying London had defied the skeptics. Some 300,000 foreigners and 5.5 million day-trippers flocked to the city for the games. Hotel occupancy was at 84 percent ? double what Beijing and Sydney saw during their Olympics.

Johnson said the city's public transport had coped just fine. Use of London's subway ? the Tube ? was up 30 percent but saw few major problems. London's overground commuter train saw double the normal crowds, and the city's bike hire scheme broke a record with 46,000 bikes rented on a single day.

Traffic actually became heavier on Monday as motorists who had stayed away to avoid Olympic crowds returned to the streets. Taxi drivers breathed a sigh of relief after having complained of fewer customers and being barred from using special Olympic road lanes.

Security officials, too, could cheer the lack of any major incident during the games.

Britain has been a prime target of Islamic terror groups because of its support for the U.S.-led operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dozens of plots, including the 2006 attempt to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners, have been hatched within Britain's sizeable Muslim population.

Upping the fear factor was an Olympic security contractor's admission just weeks before the games that it would have a shortfall of guards. In the end, the military had to provide 3,500 last-minute personnel, and contractor G4S expects to lose up to 50 million pounds ($78 million).

But while police made some 250 arrests, there were no attacks ? something officials attributed to years of planning and boosted intelligence resources.

"I'm very proud that we didn't have anything serious to deal with, but that was because of a lot of hard work done by a lot of people," said Olympics security coordinator Chris Allison.

In central London, workers using fork lifts, cherry pickers and small cranes began clearing a temporary 15,000-seat arena ? and scooping up 5,000 tons of sand ? from the site of the beach volleyball competition in Horseguards Parade, a storied square in the heart of London's Westminster political district.

A total of 17 Olympic venues around the country will eventually be dismantled. But some will remain for the upcoming Paralympics, which run from Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.

The Olympic Park, visited by more than 5 million people during the games, will be closed to the public until the Paralympics, and many venues will see changes to make them more accessible to the disabled before those games begin. Some 7,000 police officers and 5,000 G4S workers will be on hand to guard the Paralympics.

Until then, London can bask in the memories of an event when went very much as intended.

Carmelina Moscato, a member of the bronze-medal Canadian soccer team, said participating in the games was like "being in dreamland."

"I could not have asked for more," she said.

IVMF partners with US Business Leadership Network to further ...

The Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University (IVMF) is pleased to announce a partnership with the US Business Leadership Network (USBLN?) focused on service-disabled veterans in employment and entrepreneurship. The partnership will advance joint initiatives undertaken by both organizations during the past several years into a formal program of collaboration to benefit business and industry seeking well-qualified employees and suppliers, and service-disabled veteran employees and business owners.

US Business Leadership Network logoAccording to Jill Houghton, USBLN? executive director, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses have opportunities to become certified diversity suppliers and to work with private industry to meet their needs for products and services. USBLN??s supplier diversity certification is complementary to those of other diversity suppliers, and offers a rigorous evaluation process to certify disability-owned businesses. Certified businesses gain access to networks of corporate and government procurement professionals, and these buyers gain a reliable source for certified suppliers capable of addressing supply chain product and service requirements.

?The IVMF?s education and technical assistance programs for entrepreneurs have educated over 500 veterans with disabilities. Providing another avenue for our vetrepreneurs to reach their markets is an important component of our collaboration,? says James Schmeling, IVMF managing director and co-founder. ?We are committed to provide improved access to opportunities and decreased barriers to both employment and entrepreneurship for the veteran and service-disabled veteran community.?

?The partnership between USBLN? and the IVMF will increase knowledge and information flow between veterans, business and industry, government, and other stakeholders, and will improve opportunities for service-disabled veterans as employees and as business owners, and provide access to both for our membership,? says Houghton. ?It supports our vision which ?promotes the certification and growth of disability-owned business.??

The IVMF?s focus on veterans, and service-disabled veterans, naturally aligns with the goals and objectives of USBLN? in this area. The institute?s recently published ?Guide to Leading Policies, Practices & Resources: Supporting the Employment of Veterans and Military Families? and the National Council on Disabilities? ?Empowerment for Americans with Disabilities: Breaking Barriers to Careers and Full Employment? report, for which Schmeling was project director, both form frameworks for engaging business and industry and preparing veterans for employment.

Each year, more than 250,000 service members transition out of the military. Returning veterans are natural entrepreneurs, possessing skills, experience and leadership to start businesses and create jobs. Additionally, veterans often hire other veterans, and this is particularly the case for service-disabled veterans.

About the US Business Leadership Network? (USBLN?)

The US Business Leadership Network? (USBLN?) is a national nonprofit, non-partisan business to business network promoting workplaces, marketplaces and supply chains where people with disabilities are included. The USBLN? serves as the collective voice of over 60 Business Leadership Network affiliates across the U.S., representing over 5,000 businesses. Additionally, the USBLN? Disability Supplier Diversity Program? (DSDP) is the nation?s leading third party certification program for disability-owned businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.

What financial reports reveal about movie studios

Companies with movie studios have released their earnings reports for the latest quarter. It generally covers the April-June period, though some companies have fiscal quarters that depart from that.

Here's a look at reports for selected movie industry companies.

? July 31: DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. says net income fell 63 percent, to a level below analysts' expectations. Revenue fell 25 percent. Results for the movie studio were driven by the box office receipts from the movie "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted." The movie has grossed more than $500 million in theaters worldwide since its June 8 release.

? Aug. 1: Time Warner Inc. says revenue at its Warner Bros. studio fell 8 percent to $2.6 billion because last year's quarter had strong releases. The blockbuster Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" didn't open in theaters until the quarter ended. In the second quarter last year, Time Warner Inc. had "The Hangover Part II" in theaters and the next-to-last Harry Potter movie on home video.

Comcast Corp. says its Universal movie studio lost money on its would-be summer blockbuster, the expensive and critically skewered "Battleship." Revenue in the filmed entertainment division fell 2 percent to $1.2 billion.

? Aug. 2: Sony Corp.'s movie division saw a 6 percent increase in sales with the hit "Men in Black 3," and better cable and network program revenue. But it had an operating loss partly because of marketing expenses for this year's films including "The Amazing Spider-Man."

? Aug. 3: Viacom Inc. says revenue at its Paramount movie studio dropped 29 percent. It released three movies in the quarter: "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," ''The Dictator" and "Titanic 3D." In the same quarter last year, it had four blockbusters: "Kung Fu Panda 2," ''Thor," ''Super 8" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

? Aug. 7: The Walt Disney Co. says revenue at its movie studio was almost unchanged from a year ago at $1.63 billion, which was less than the $1.77 billion analysts expected. The Marvel superhero epic "The Avengers" helped boost profit in the segment. Studio profits jumped to $313 million from $49 million a year ago. The company says upbeat ticket sales to movies such as "The Avengers" and "Brave" were offset by fewer sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs. Prominent home video titles during the quarter included "John Carter" and "The Muppets."

? Aug. 8: News Corp. says revenue at its 20th Century Fox movie studio revenue fell 14 percent to $1.74 billion, due to tough comparisons against the box office success of "Rio" last year.

? Aug. 9: Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. says it lost $44.2 million in the April-June period, reversing a profit from a year ago, as it booked higher marketing costs to release movies such as "The Hunger Games." Lions Gate released five movies in theaters in the quarter, up from just one a year ago, and it has yet to benefit from home video sales of "The Hunger Games," which goes on sale on DVD and Blu-ray on Aug. 18. The company says two-thirds of the profitability of "The Hunger Games" is still ahead.

In some cases, though, they can be an issue when the smoke, instead of venting out through the chimney, lingers and encircles the space. It is among the most common problems impacting many property owners.

There are a number of ways to address this problem, the fastest of which is to crack a window in the same space you are lighting a fire in. This will certainly admit air into the room which will certainly enable the hot air and smoke to rise up the chimney without developing a partial vacuum cleaner in the room.

Full color images at 100,000 dots-per-inch resolution, using metal-laced nano-structures

ScienceDaily (Aug. 12, 2012) ? Researchers from A*STAR's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) have developed an innovative method for creating sharp, full-spectrum colour images at 100,000 dots per inch (dpi), using metal-laced nanometer-sized structures, without the need for inks or dyes. In comparison, current industrial printers such as inkjet and laserjet printers can only achieve up to 10,000 dpi while research grade methods are able to dispense dyes for only single colour images.

This novel breakthrough allows colouring to be treated not as an inking matter but as a lithographic matter, which can potentially revolutionise the way images are printed and be further developed for use in high-resolution reflective colour displays as well as high density optical data storage.

The inspiration for the research was derived from stained glass, which is traditionally made by mixing tiny fragments of metal into the glass. It was found that nanoparticles from these metal fragments scattered light passing through the glass to give stained glass its colours. Using a similar concept with the help of modern nanotechnology tools, the researchers precisely patterned metal nanostructures, and designed the surface to reflect the light to achieve the colour images.

"The resolution of printed colour images very much depends on the size and spacing between individual 'nanodots' of colour," explained Dr Karthik Kumar, one of the key researchers involved. "The closer the dots are together and because of their small size, the higher the resolution of the image. With the ability to accurately position these extremely small colour dots, we were able to demonstrate the highest theoretical print colour resolution of 100,000 dpi."

"Instead of using different dyes for different colours, we encoded colour information into the size and position of tiny metal disks. These disks then interacted with light through the phenomenon of plasmon resonances," said Dr Joel Yang, the project leader of the research. "The team built a database of colour that corresponded to a specific nanostructure pattern, size and spacing. These nanostructures were then positioned accordingly. Similar to a child's 'colouring-by-numbers' image, the sizes and positions of these nanostructures defined the 'numbers'. But instead of sequentially colouring each area with a different ink, an ultrathin and uniform metal film was deposited across the entire image causing the 'encoded' colours to appear all at once, almost like magic!" added Dr Joel Yang.

The researchers from IMRE had also collaborated with A*STAR's Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) to design the pattern using computer simulation and modelling. Dr Ravi Hegde of IHPC said, "The computer simulations were vital in understanding how the structures gave rise to such rich colours. This knowledge is currently being used to predict the behaviour of more complicated nanostructure arrays."

The researchers are currently working with Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd (ETPL), A*STAR's technology transfer arm, to engage potential collaborators and to explore licensing the technology. The research was published online on August 12, 2012 in Nature Nanotechnology.

Rover makes first colour panorama

Nasa's new Mars rover has returned its first 360-degree colour panorama from the surface of the Red Planet.

The Curiosity robot used its wideangle science camera placed high up on a mast to acquire the frames.

The low-resolution vista shows at centre the big mountain that lies in the middle of Gale Crater, the deep depression in which the rover landed.

Curiosity's ultimate goal is to drive towards this peak - informally known as Mount Sharp - to study its rocks.

Evidence from satellite photos has suggested there are sediments exposed at the base of the mountain that were laid down in the presence of abundant water.

The rover will use its science instruments to try to understand what kind of environments existed at the time of the rocks' formation, and whether there were periods in Mars history when any type of microbial life could have thrived.

  • (A) Curiosity will trundle around its landing site looking for interesting rock features to study. Its top speed is about 4cm/s
  • (B) This mission has 17 cameras. They will identify particular targets, and a laser will zap those rocks to probe their chemistry
  • (C) If the signal is significant, Curiosity will swing over instruments on its arm for close-up investigation. These include a microscope
  • (D) Samples drilled from rock, or scooped from the soil, can be delivered to two hi-tech analysis labs inside the rover body
  • (E) The results are sent to Earth through antennas on the rover deck. Return commands tell the rover where it should drive next
