With the increase of both commercial and residential development, beautifully maintained landscape mulch beds are increasingly in demand. At the same time, the popularity of landscape mulch has been an economic boon to the landscape mulch industry. However, the rising use of landscape mulch has also been associated with an increased incidence of a relatively new plague-the explosive artillery fungus, Sphaerobous sp. Homeowners file costly lawsuits against landscape professionals when claims are denied. Since the explosive artillery fungi live in landscape mulch, homeowners think landscape professionals must somehow be responsible. Using a decade of research data and expertise as Professor of Plant Pathology at Penn State, Dr. Davis has successfully testified on behalf of landscape professionals under litigation from property owners whose homes have been shot with artillery fungi living in landscape mulch.

Swedish dentists have warned against common medications that can cause dental cavities. The medications that can cause problems include Losec and Cipramil and according to the dentists, half of the most popular medications cause dryness of the mouth, bad breath and create a perfect environment for caries. According to the medications list FASS, 203 medications sold in Sweden increase the risk of dental cavities and ten of these are apparently on the list of the 20 most sold medications in Sweden last year. The medications with the above mentioned effects include asthma medications, allergy drugs, medications with a calming effect and stomach medications.
Business Editors, Health Medical Writers e-dentist.com, Inc. (AMEX:EDT) announced today the deployment of an online course to provide training and certification of dentists using the BriteSmile(TM) Teeth Whitening System(TM) (Nasdaq:BSML). The course was developed through an agreement with Blatchford Solutions, Ltd., an international dental coaching, consulting and marketing company with headquarters in the United States. Dentists who wish to use the BriteSmile Whitening System(TM) in their offices may now receive their certification training online. Blatchford is reaching out to its existing dentist client base to utilize the online course accelerating the dentists certification and use of the BriteSmile(TM) systems. e-dentists proprietary learning management system (LMS) tracks all aspects of each students progress. Students are tested after each lesson and then must pass a final exam to obtain certification. James M. Powers, Jr., D.D.S., president and chief executive officer of e-dentist, said, “The Blatchford course showcases our training focus on products used by dental offices. Our learning management system (LMS) provides the dental vendor with clear evidence of a students progress, increases content retention and improves student satisfaction. We see this course as the first of many courses that we will be developing with Blatchford.” e-dentist developed the course using its proprietary e-learning engine and hosts the course providing access through its online course catalog. Those dentists taking the course can train online 24/7/365 at their own pace. Blatchford has constant remote access to each students progress, including the time spent on each subject, testing results and the progress being made toward certification. Each student pays $500 for a six-month course license. e-dentist anticipates that between 700 and 900 dentist and staff members will take the course before the end of this year.

By Geoff Fein While the Coast Guards effort to convert eight 110-foot cutters to 123- foot vessels continues to draw the attention and ire of lawmakers and watchdogs, the service has been successfully renovating 20 of its 110 fleet to keep them in service until the Fast Response Cutter (FRC) arrives. The Coast Guard is also renovating a number of its 210-foot and 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters as part of the Mission Effectiveness Project (MEP), Ken King, project manager (PM) of 110-foot, 210-foot and 270-foot MEPs, told Defense Daily in a recent interview. A design defect compromised the physical integrity of the eight cutters and led to the inability of the boats to meet the performance requirements of the contract. That, in turn, led the Coast Guard to issue a letter of revocation for the eight 123-foot patrol boats in June 2007 (Defense Daily, Jan. .

Covers a wide variety of issues related to alternative medicine, with a focus on the changing needs of healthcare professionals.
The Pictorial Print Division (PPD) serves those who make prints or have their work displayed as prints. Prints may be self-made, commercial, digital, or darkroom printed. If the final copy is a print, then consider what the Pictorial Print Division has to offer. A group of 8-12 photographers make up a Print Study Group. A portfolio of prints is mailed to each member in turn, and the member comments on each print, removes a previous print, inserts a new print, and adds a personal newsletter. The last member sends the portfolio to the “commentator,” an experienced photographer who provides an “expert” opinion on each print. The secretary sets a new schedule and starts the portfolio on the next round. The following are some of the portfolios available: American Portfolio–Approximately 30 portfolios to fit individual needs: color, monochrome, nature, contemporary, commercial, assigned subjects, digital printing, darkroom printing, 8×10, 11×14, etc. Portrait Portfolios–Five Study Groups, including Character Studies, Children, Animals, Figure Studies, and Glamour Girl. The emphasis is on posing, lighting, apparel, and backgrounds. Canadian and European Portfolios–Canadians and Europeans participate with fellow members from their own or neighboring countries. POM is a monthly print competition for all PSA members. Subject matter and printing techniques are “open.” Four classes, two for color and two for monochrome, allow experienced and less experienced photographers to compete on their own levels. Qualified PSA judges critique your prints and provide written comments and suggestions for improvements. Each month 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners receive certificates, and the winning prints are posted on the POM Gallery web pages. A “Picture of the Month” is selected for publication in the PSA Journal. Winners and Honorable Mentions receive “points,” and at the end of the year the member with the most points in each of four categories receives a PPD medal. You may join POM at any time. If you would like to be a POM judge, contact the POM director.

printChannel.com, the leader in business-to-business enterprise-wide
print procurement services, is exhibiting its Internet-enabled
digital printing solution during Graph Expo 2000, at Indigos booth
#2106. This solution, which combines Indigos proven digital printing
technology with printChannel.coms powerful Web ordering and print
processing solution, gives printers true Web-to-Print capabilities,
dramatically shortening cycle time and providing a competitive
advantage to adopters of this combined solution. The
Indigo-printChannel.com partnership, which realizes the vision of
Internet-enabled digital printing, started in 1998 at IPEX when
Dudley Print purchased an Indigo digital press in conjunction with a
printChannel license.printChannel.com provides a branded site to Indigo print providers for
creating, ordering, proofing, and outputting print orders online.
Customers of Indigo print providers can order products on a Web site
through a simple user interface. Users can modify the content of
online print products by editing text and substituting images within
the parameters of a given product layout. Online and desktop proofing
are made simple by the automatic generation of a GIF file that can be
viewed through a browser without the need for plug-ins. After orders
have been proofed and approved online, printers can have the system
determine the optimal impositions for any group of orders, and then
generate the impositions in PDF format, ready for high-quality
printing on any Indigo digital press.”printChannel.com opens new business opportunities for Indigo customers
that want to leverage digital printing and the Internet,” states
David Leshem, Indigos Corporate Vice President for Business and
Product Management. “Customers of Indigo print providers using
printChannel can offer entirely new print programs (e.g., channel
management) to their corporate customers while taking significant
cost out of their workflows.”The printChannel.com interface is easily accessed by customers anywhere
in the world. printChannel.com licenses its e-commerce conduit directly to
print suppliers, with each vendor having their own implementation of
the printChannel system accessible via the World Wide Web. Because
print vendors brand the printChannel system under their own name and
set up their own customer accounts and products on the system, they
keep control over their customer and service relationships and have
greater freedom to innovate and add new features.”printChannel delivers the cost savings and convenience of print
e-commerce while leaving customer/supplier relationships intact,”
says Oliver Pflug, printChannel.com CEO. “The combination of Indigo
presses and printChannel solutions lets print suppliers output orders
minutes after they have been entered over the Internet. Web-to-Print
using printChannel and Indigo lets print providers focus on what they
do best while offering innovative online solutions to their
commercial accounts.”

You know, the one that was forced upon you by your junior high football coach and burned the dickens out of your muscles? Unfortunately, you might still do it today. While you thought that burning sensation would give you a six-pack, it was actually occurring in the hip flexors, not your abs. What is this awful exercise? Youll know by process of elimination. Choose which of these moves below more effectively targets the lower abs. Sure, the abs contract isometrically during this move, but notice how the glutes are still on the bench. To hit your lower abs sufficiently, spinal flexion–in which you contract your abs to move your pelvis and ribcage toward each other and your glutes leave the bench or floor–is a must. MISS

Executive Summary. Surveys of real estate research priorities for real estate fund managers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany over 2000-03 are examined. Thirty-nine real estate research priorities are assessed, with much closer alignment for real estate research priorities in the U.K., Germany and Australia than seen for the U.S. The role of real estate in a mixed-asset portfolio and real estate and portfolio risk management figure prominently amongst the general real estate research priorities. The top specific real estate research priorities were the impact of capital flows, real estate cycles and real estate portfolio diversification. The underlying general real estate research priorities “dimensions” highlight the strategic issues involved in real estate research, particularly the changing real estate environment, strategic real estate issues and the role of real estate in the portfolio.Real estate research has taken on increased importance in recent years in the international arena. The establishment of the regional real estate societies (particularly ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES) and their annual conferences have been key catalysts to this expanded real estate research agenda, with much of this research having a strong real estate industry focus. As such, general real estate research areas have been identified by leading real estate academics in the United States and the United Kingdom (Lusht, 1993; Webb, 1997; Jaffe, 1998; Crosby, 2000; Worzala, 2002; and Adair, Crosby, Lim and Watkins, 2003), as well as by leading U.S. and Australian real estate practitioners (Winograd, 1999; Souza, 2000; Parker, 2001; and Steinert and Crowe, 2001).To more fully assess the real estate research directions and priorities for U.S. institutional investors, extensive real estate industry surveys have been funded by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) in 1992 (Ziering and Worzala, 1997) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) in 2000 (Worzala, Gilliland and Gordon, 2002), with Newell, Acheampong and Worzala (2002) conducting an equivalent real estate research priorities survey for Australia in 2001. In 2003, equivalent real estate research priority surveys have been conducted in the U.K. (Newell, McAllister and Worzala, 2003) and Germany (Schulte, Newell and Worzala, 2003).Given these significant international real estate research developments, the purpose of this research is to compare the results of these four recent major international real estate surveys to examine the real estate research priorities of real estate fund managers in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Germany. Identification of these real estate research priorities will enable the more effective development of a real estate research agenda for real estate researchers in ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES, as well as for the emerging real estate societies of AfRES and LaRES.

Specifically, Asante Real Estate lists homes and other real estate for only 1% of the total purchase price (plus the buyers agents commission), and credit buyers who find their home with up to 66% of our commission. In contrast, many real estate companies charge a Full-Price commission equal to 6% of the total price of a home. When Asante lists your home, you will save up to $20,000 to $40,000 in real estate commissions for the sale of a $1M home. Asante also gives home buyers up to 2/3 of our buyers agents commission when they find their own home - for the purchase of an $800K home, the buyer will receive up to $16,000 after close of escrow. In the midst of this unsettled housing market, Asantes Full-Service at a Fair Price value propositions ensure that home buyers and sellers end up with more money when they close escrow - that is Full-Service at a Fair Price!

Transformation is a key component of the U.S. defense strategy and will affect everyone in the Department of Defense as the department seeks creative, innovative solutions to the challenges faced at home and abroad. Elements of Defense Transformation, published Oct. 13, 2004, by the Department of Defense Office of Force Transformation, provides an understanding of the key elements of defense transformation. The brochure seeks to answer some fundamental questions. What is defense transformation and what is its scope? Why is transformation so urgent? In general, how will defense transformation be accomplished? What is the Departments force transformation vision for the future, and what is needed to support this vision? What are the primary senior leadership roles and responsibilities for implementing the force transformation strategy? What are some of the key force transformation issues requiring additional investment in the years ahead? How can we measure the effectiveness of our force transformation process?
Abstract A reverse approach to designing as-built transformers is presented in this paper. The physical characteristics and dimensions of the windings and core are the specifications. By manipulating the amount and type of material actually to be used in the construction of the transformer, its performance can be determined. Such an approach is essentially the opposite of the conventional transformer design method. The method is applied to two sample high voltage transformers. The measured performance of the transformers verifies the usefulness of using this reverse design approach. From a manufacturers perspective it is convenient to design and produce a set range of transformer sizes. Usually, the terminal voltages, VA rating and frequency are specified. These specifications determine the materials to be used and their dimensions. This approach to transformer design has been utilised and presented in detail in standard textbooks.1,2 It has been used as a design tool for teaching undergraduate power system courses at universities.3-12 In addition, it has been used extensively in designing transformers for switched mode power supplies.13-17 Finite Element Analysis has also been applied, concurrent with the above approach, to aid the overall design process.18-22 However, by designing to rated specifications, consideration is not explicitly given to what materials and sizes are actually available. Core and winding material suppliers offer catalogues of preferred sizes, particularly so for smaller rating devices. This reflects the suppliers manufacturing capabilities in extrusion, rolling and forming tools and equipment. It is not economic to offer customers any size and shape they require. It is possible that an engineer, having designed a transformer, may then find the material sizes do not exist. The engineer may then be forced to use available materials and consequently the performance of the actual transformer that is built is likely to be significantly different from that of the design calculations. Due to the inexactness of estimating actual winding dimensions, the leakage reactance in particular may be miscalculated. The leakage reactance is a dominant parameter in power system studies involving transformers. A reverse design approach is presented in this paper, whereby the physical characteristics and dimensions of the windings and core are the specifications. By manipulating the amount and type of material actually to be used in the construction of the transformer, its performance can be determined. Such an approach lends itself to designing transformers using what is available from suppliers. This is essentially the opposite of the conventional transformer design method. It allows for customized design, as there is considerable flexibility in meeting the performance required for a particular application. This can allow matched rated, cost-effective solutions to power supply requirements, as against the traditional practice of over-rating the transformer component of a power supply because of batch construction and fixed– size transformer ratings.

Abstract In this paper, transformer equivalent circuit parameters are obtained using the Newton-Raphson method and field measurements at the two ends of the transformer. This may become necessary if a new or rewound transformer replaces an existing transformer during maintenance and the parameters of the new or rewound transformer have to be determined. This paper provides an example of obtaining the transformer equivalent circuit parameters from field measurements. The motivation for this work arose from Ref. 1 where a numerical method is presented for the estimation of induction motor parameters from manufacturers data. In the present paper, it is assumed that field measurements of voltage, current and power factor on the two sides of the transformer are available and it is desired to determine the resistance, reactance, conductance and susceptance of the equivalent circuit. It is also assumed that the transformer turns ratio is known. The primary side equivalent circuit of the transformer shown in Fig. 1 produces

Abstract: The HANDYMAN project is a Southern Denmark government sponsored initiative that aims to help improve the automation capability of small businesses. This contribution provides the background and motivation behind a project developed by the Mads Clausen Institute within HANDYMAN which is currently investigating the development of new technology to improve the sensing capability of robot grippers. Key words: Automation, Robotics, Grippers, Sensor Technology. The HANDYMAN project is a Southern Denmark government sponsored initiative, involving a consortium of Engineering firms and University research institutes that aims to help improve the automation capability of small businesses. The ultimate aim is to improve the competitiveness of these businesses in the European marketplace. Two types of projects currently exist within HANDYMAN–Application and Technology. Application projects are short-term projects wherein a business requests an improvement to a current process, e.g. automating a manual operation or modifying the current automation process. The consortium develops a prototype solution within 6 months. Current projects include automating the packing of flowerpots (with flowers) into trays and the picking up of randomly stored tubular components and placing them in a leak testing machine with the correct orientation. Technology projects are longer term, up to 3 years to develop a prototype solution, and are therefore more research orientated. The aim of these Technology projects is to examine future automation requirements and develop new technology.
Established as one of the leading Mr. Handyman
franchises in the U.S., Mr. Handyman of Gig Harbor and Tacoma has made the
strategic decision to focus more on its core business, to outsource its
marketing, and to name Phoenix- and Atlanta-based marketing and advertising
agency Zion Zion as its agency of record.

The demand for handyman services remains strong in the current economy,
with homeowners deciding to invest in repairs and maintenance as opposed to
replacement.

Mr. Handyman franchisee, Craig Dufrenne, stated, “Mr. Handyman recently
announced its 300th franchise, and here in Washington State, we see the
momentum as well. We continue to gain new customers, and our existing
customers are loyal and represent significant repeat business revenues.
Thats why we decided that it was time to engage a marketing agency — so
that we can increase our focus on our core business.”

Dufrenne added, “Wed been considering the idea of naming an agency to
handle our marketing and advertising for a while, but most of whats out
there are firms that do great creative, but are only so-so on business
acumen. Thats what differentiated Zion Zion, and thats what clinched
it. Working with them is like having a Senior VP of Marketing and an entire
marketing department integrated into your business.”

Zion Zion CEO, Aric Zion, noted, “Our firm works across several
verticals, and home improvement is a market that were particularly strong
in. Our past and present clients in the home improvement space include
Renewal by Andersen Windows, VanDenBosch Doors and Windows, Slide-Lok
Garage Interiors, Goettl Air Conditioning and a host of others, so our
industry experience is really second to none in the home improvement
space.”

Read reports on educational issues published by the Educational Resources Information Center of the US Department of Education.
WHAT IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?This report discusses the extensive education and training programs established and run by corporations and other organizations, largely profitmaking enterprises whose primary purpose is something other than education, in the context of traditional higher education. As used in this report, “corporate education” is education offered by a business or industry for its own employees.HOW EXTENSIVE IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?Corporate education is an extensive, multifaceted endeavor, costing billions of dollars, educating millions of people, and absorbing many working hours annually.It is estimated, for example, that approximately $30 billion to $50 billion is spent on formal employee education and $180 billion on informal, on-the-job, education. Employees in companies with 500 or more employees–4.4 million people–can expect to receive frequent instruction paid for and provided by their employers.IS CORPORATE EDUCATION A THREAT TO HIGHER EDUCATION?As colleges and universities strive to respond to the needs of nontraditional students, they often find that corporate educators have preceded them. Corporations, with the assistance of the American Council on Education and the New York Board of Regents, have had their courses evaluated, frequently leading to the granting of credit for corporate coursework by colleges and universities.Courses offered by corporations range from remedial to postgraduate level management and technical courses. Corporations have even founded their own colleges, known as “corporate colleges.” These educational efforts potentially could threaten the health, and devalue the worth of, higher education, but in fact, corporate education is compatible with–indeed complements–traditional higher education. Higher education in the United States has been responsive to the needs of the workplace since the beginning of the federal period. The prevailing dialogue in higher education has long been the weighing of tradeoffs–practically and philosophically–between general education and what now is called “career education.” The formal recognition of instruction independent of the providers is a multifaceted and complex enterprise on the postsecondary education scene in and of itself. These efforts have accomplished two things. First, the structural conformity of noncollegiate instruction with collegiate instruction (for example, associating credit hours with contact hours) facilitates transfers and students mobility and opens up an array of potential cooperative efforts between businesses and colleges. Second, they have served as a major channel of communication between school and corporation about educational content and methods. This report presents the interaction between corporate education and these recognition processes, a path by which noncollegiate education can wend its way into the most traditional patterns of higher education. Innovations find their way into higher education in five ways, one of which is when external institutions appear on the scene to challenge, titillate, and/or draw attention to significant issues.The emergence of corporate education with its interest in formal recognition offers opportunities and challenges to higher education in the way it teaches, the students it seeks, and the perception of the purposes of education. The growth of corporate education is a stimulus to both internal collegiate debates and public policy decision making.WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THE PROLIFERATION OF CORPORATE EDUCATION?Many profitable educational ventures have been initiated that were provoked by employers recognition of their responsibility for developing their employees. The American University, for example, using its own faculty, offers an MS in toxicology at Litton Industries, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cooperates in an education program with IBM and Digital Equipment. An indirect benefit to colleges resulting from an increased awareness of conditions in higher education on the part of business and industry has been the use of modern technology by colleges and universities to educates future employees. And a national discussion on the role of colleges and universities in American society has been stimulated by heightened awareness of shared national needs.

Washington, DC Web site under construction NALFA has 8 regular members and 7 associate supplier members “Business is excellent,” said E.C. “Bill” Dearing, president of NALFA, which was founded in January 1997. “Laminate floors continue to be the most successful category in the entire flooring industry in terms of advancement.” Dearing said NALFAs eight regular members account for the “vast majority” of laminate flooring sold in North America, but added that the association does not track laminate flooring shipments.
No doubt the day will come when laminate flooring just blends in with the rest of the floor coverings displayed at the annual Surfaces show. But this was certainly not the case at this years event held Jan. 30-Feb. 1 in Las Vegas.For the third consecutive year, laminate floors made a strong showing at Surfaces, which was attended by more than 25,000 retailers, contractors and designers. A total of 33 companies displayed their laminate floor products or related wares at Surfaces 98, up from 28 laminate flooring exhibitors at last years show.Woodgrain designs continued to receive the biggest push among laminate flooring manufacturers, who ironically said they see their products competing more against vinyl flooring than hardwood flooring.The flashy and sometimes splashy displays of the laminate flooring producers belied the fact that laminate accounts for less than an estimated 2 percent of the total $13 billion-plus North American residential floor covering market. Following are some of the product highlights.
