Chrome a serious challenger in browser battle
By David Pogue Published: September 4, 2008
 
 
Does the world really need another Web browser? Google thinks so. Chrome, its new browser, was developed in secrecy and released to the world Tuesday. The Windows version is available for download now at google.com/chrome; the Mac and Linux versions will take a little longer.

Google Earth in Sky Viewing Mode in Windows Vista
In version 4.2, released August 22, 2007,
 
Google Earth added a Sky tool for viewing stars and astronomical images.[8]
 
Google Sky is produced by Google through a partnership with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope. Dr. Alberto Conti and his co-developer Dr. Carol Christian of the Space Telescope Science Institute plan to add the public images from 2007,[9] as well as color images of all of the archived data from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Newly released Hubble pictures will be added to the Google Sky program as soon as they are issued.
 
New features such as multi-wavelength data, positions of major satellites and their orbits as well as educational resources will be provided to the Google Earth community and also through Christian and Conti's website for Sky. Also visible on Sky mode are constellations, stars, galaxies and animations depicting the planets in their orbits.
 
A real-time Google Sky mashup of recent astronomical transients, using the VOEvent protocol, is being provided by the VOEventNet collaboration.Google's Earth maps are being updated each 5 minutes.
Google Sky will face competition [1] from the upcoming product WorldWide Telescope from Microsoft, anticipated soon [10].
 
On March 13, 2008 Google made a web-based version of Google Sky available at

Public reminded to be vigilant against upper respiratory tract infection 
 
9 September 2008
 
 
To prevent upper respiratory tract infection and influenza, the public are advised to adopt the following measures:

    * To build up good body immunity by having a proper diet, regular exercise and adequate rest, reducing stress and avoiding smoking;
    * To maintain good personal hygiene, and wash hands after sneezing, coughing and wear a mask when developing symptoms of respiratory infections;
    * To maintain good ventilation; and
    * To avoid visiting crowded places with poor ventilation, especially during peak influenza season.
 
Members of the public, particularly children, elderly people and those with chronic diseases, should wear face masks and consult their doctors for medical advice promptly if they develop symptoms of respiratory tract infection.
 
For more information on the disease, members of the public may visit the CHP's website (http://www.chp.gov.hk).

I never heard of this lettuce and beef thing... I don't watch a lot of tv.



ProMED-mail is a program of the
International Society for Infectious Diseases
<http://www.isid.org>

Date: Fri 26 Sep 2008
Source: Michigan State University News [edited]
<http://news.msu.edu/story/5678/>


Public health officials, with support from MSU (Michigan State
University), have identified a brand of lettuce as the source of the
recent multi-statewide outbreak of _E. coli_ [O157], an outbreak that
sickened a number of MSU students.

The lettuce, which had been distributed nationally by Detroit-based
vendor Aunt Mid's Produce Company, is identified as shredded and
chopped iceberg lettuce. The affected lettuce products were
immediately removed from MSU's dining halls, even though there have
been no new cases with symptom onset reported at the university since
20 Sep 2008.

"We will continue to be as cautious as possible, until this issue is
completely resolved," said MSU University physician Beth Alexander.

On Fri 26 Sep 2008, the Michigan Department of Community Health
reported 26 cases of genetically linked _E. coli_ were spread
throughout 8 Michigan counties. In addition, that same strain has
also been identified in cases in Illinois, New York, Ohio, and
Oregon. Health officials said it was the out-of-state cases that
helped to track down a common distributor of the affected food.

During the week of 22 Sep 2008 MSU made the decision to temporarily
discontinue the service of all cooked turkey products, although state
and local health officials did not recommend it. While turkey had not
been determined as the source of the outbreak, health officials were
considering it an "item of interest." Turkey products are now being
offered again in MSU's dining halls.

As part of the effort to trace the source of the outbreak, MSU
students were asked to take part in a case control study. On Thursday
[25 Sep 2008] afternoon, more than 4000 questionnaires were sent to
students in Akers, Holmes, and Hubbard halls, asking them to outline
their food-eating habits for the last 3 weeks. In less than 24 hours,
more than 400 students responded to the call.

[In the above newswire it does not specifically mention that the
outbreak strain has been isolated from the "smoking" lettuce,
although there is a suggestion that more maybe known -- "Health
officials said it was the out-of-state cases that helped to track
down a common distributor of the affected food."  The case-control
study has presumably identified lettuce as the significant common
exposure in Michigan. More information is needed about the lettuce
regarding its original source, contamination source and the scope of
its distribution. With respect to its distribution, one also wonders
if there will be more cases identified with a wider geographic
distribution or if the presumably contaminated batches have been used
up (past their sell date/use date and likely to have been discarded
by now). - Mods.LL/MPP]

Has anyone installed TED in their Home?



http://www.theenergydetective.com/what/install.html


What is TED?


TED is a simple, yet extremely accurate, home energy monitor that allows you to see electricity usage in real-time. You no longer have to wait for the 'electricity bill surprise'! TED will accurately tell you what your bill is going to be long before the electric bill arrives. Meanwhile, you will learn more about conserving energy, saving money, and helping save the environment.



How do I Install TED?


Installation is very simple and quick. A qualified homeowner or electrician can
install TED in about 10-15 minutes. TED operates on the existing wires in your home,
so there is no need to run any additional wires.

OTC Cold Medicines to Be Relabeled for Young Children


excerpt-

It's the second time in a year that industry has agreed to limit marketing of cold and cough medicine to babies and young children. Last October, industry said it would stop making various "infant" products and would relabel other products to state that they should not be used in children younger than 2.


The move came after an FDA review of the products showed that most safety problems associated with the products were in that age group. The changes affect dozens of brand-name and generic products like Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol Plus Cold, Novartis AG's Triaminic and Wyeth's Robitussin. An estimated 95 million packages of children's over-the-counter cold and cough medicines are sold each year in the U.S.

Traditionally puddings were made on or immediately after the Sunday "next before Advent", i.e. four to five weeks before Christmas. The Collect for that Sunday in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, as it was used from the sixteenth century (and still is in traditional churches), reads:

"Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by thee be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"

The day became known as "Stir-up Sunday". Traditionally everyone in the household, or at least every child, gave the mixture a stir, and made a wish while doing so.

It was common practice to include small silver coins in the pudding mixture, which could be kept by the person whose serving included them. The usual choice was a silver 3d piece, or a sixpence. The coin was believed to bring wealth in the coming year. However this practice fell away once real silver coins were not available, as it was believed that alloy coins would taint the pudding. The practice has largely stopped for reasons of safety and liability.

Other tokens are also known to have been included, such as a tiny wishbone (to bring good luck), a silver thimble (for thrift), or an anchor (to symbolise safe harbour).

Once turned out of its basin, the Christmas pudding is traditionally decorated with a spray of holly, and it may be doused in brandy, flamed (or 'fired'), and brought to the table ceremoniously - where it may be greeted with a round of applause. In some houses the lights are turned out as the pudding is brought in amid a halo of purple brandy flames (this is related to the Christmas tradition of snap-dragons). It can be eaten with hard sauce, brandy butter, rum butter, cream, lemon cream, or custard and is often sprinkled with caster sugar (the fall of the sugar on triangular slices resembling the fall of snow on a pitched roof, or snowy mountain tops).

Shoppers turn to 'salvage' food stores

The quality is top-notch. They do carry a lot of their own brands, but they are not white labels. They are actually owned by the same family that owns Trader Joe's. Their riesling wine is the best I've had at any price anywhere and thier beer is good (they are a German company). They have special purchases each week of name brand items and electronics at great prices. I have had nothing but good luck with their Crofton brand (cooking appliances) and Medion (a German company which make computers they sell).

When you go, you must bring a quarter that you insert into the shopping cart to release it. Then when you return the cart and hook it back up, it spits your quarter back out. This saves money on cart personnel as well as people stealing them or messing up your cars.

Also, bring your own bags or a box. You can buy them there, but they are 5 cents for a plastic one and 10 cents for paper. Here is some more info:


ALDI - Special Purchases from March 2, 2008 (broken link) Those McCain Roasters are $3.50 at our normal grocery store.

I may very well get the food processor next week:

Aldi in Bethlehem, PA, USA



Source
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldi

Earliest roots of the company trace back to 1913. When the mother of Karl and Theo Albrecht opened a small store in a suburb of Essen. Their father was employed as a miner and later as a baker's assistant. Karl was born in 1920, Theo in 1922. Theo completed an apprenticeship in his mother's store, while Karl worked in a delicatessen. Karl took over a food shop formerly run by F. W. Judt who already advertised to be the "cheapest food source".

Karl also served in the German Army during World War II. After the end of World War II, the brothers took over their mother's business (1946) and soon opened another retail outlet in the vicinity. By 1950, the Albrecht brothers already owned 13 stores in the Ruhr Valley. -Aldi is presently the 24th largest retailer in the world, one place below the rapidly expanding Woolworths LTD.

The brothers' idea, which was new at the time, was to subtract the then-legal maximum rebate of 3% before sale. The market leaders at the time, which often were co-operatives, required their customers to collect rebate stamps, and to send them in regular intervals to claim their money back. The Albrecht brothers also rigorously removed merchandise that did not sell from their shelves, and squeezed out as much savings as possible by not advertising, not selling fresh produce, and keeping the size of their retail outlets as small as possible.

When the two brothers split the company in 1960 over a dispute whether they should sell cigarettes at the till or not, they owned 300 shops with a cash flow of DM 90 million per year. In 1962, they introduced the Aldi brand name. Both groups are financially and legally separate since 1966, though they describe their relationship as a "friendly relation"; they will also occasionally appear as if they were a single enterprise, for example with certain house brands, or when negotiating with contractor companies.

Aldi expanded internationally in the 1970s and 1980s, the number of outlets skyrocketing, especially after German reunification and the fall of the Iron Curtain. The Albrecht brothers retreated from their positions as CEOs in 1993 and gave most of their wealth to foundations.


National business organization

The Aldi Nord group currently consists of 35 independent regional branches with approximately 2,500 stores. Aldi Sud is made up of 31 companies with 1,600 stores. The border between their territories runs from the Rhine via Mülheim an der Ruhr, Wermelskirchen, Marburg, Siegen and Gießen eastwards up to slightly north of Fulda. Former East Germany is completely served by Aldi Nord, save for a single Aldi Sud store in Sonneberg, Thuringia that is associated with a Bavarian regional office.

The regional branches are organised as limited partnerships with a regional manager for each branch who reports directly to the head office in Essen (Aldi Nord) or Mülheim an der Ruhr (Aldi Sud). The regional distribution centres are usually located away from urban areas, but always near an autobahn to facilitate transporting the merchandise to the individual stores. Aldi Nord, for example, has distribution centres in Bargteheide, Barleben, Beucha, Beverstedt, Datteln, Essen, Greven, Hann. Münden, Hemmoor, Hesel, Herten, Horst, Hoyerswerda, Jarmen, Lehrte, Lingen, Minden, Nortorf, Radevormwald, Rinteln, Salzgitter, Scharbeutz, Schloß Holte, Schwelm, Werl and Weyhe. The coffee roaster of Aldi Nord is also located in Weyhe.


Internationally

The Aldi group operates about 7,600 individual stores worldwide. A new store opens every week.

Aldi Nord is responsible for the markets in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Portugal and Denmark. Aldi Sud caters to the markets of Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Australia, Switzerland and Slovenia. Aldi Sud currently is expanding in Switzerland, where the first stores opened in 2005. Hungary, Greece and Poland are on the short list of countries for further expansion and are expected to see the first openings in 2007.

Whilst Aldi Nord has long renamed its Dutch and Belgian subsidiaries Combi and Lansa to the ALDI Markt/Aldi Marché brand, Aldi Sud tries to keep a regional appearance. Therefore, Aldi Sud explicitly brands its outlets as Aldi Sud in Germany, Aldi Suisse in Switzerland and Hofer in Austria and Slovenia

Who owns Trader Joe's?

Many of my friends shop at Trader Joe's (and so do we). The image Trader Joe's seems to convey, at least locally, is that of a laid back, gen-x run grocery store carrying European treats fit for even a connoisseur, yet at a low cost. Even if the store is slightly disorganized and the stock unpredictable, no one seems bothered. Shopping at Trader Joe's means mostly shopping for treats or pantry accessories, if you will. So if the store is out of cream cheese, it doesn't matter much since the same expectations one has for a run-of-the-mill supermarket don't apply.

It may come as a surprise that this gen-xers' paradise is owned by one of the richest men in the whole entire world. A German businessman in his eighties, Theo Albrecht, co-founder of Aldi Group which stands for "Albrecht Discount," owns Trader Joe's. He and his brother Karl Albrecht founded the Aldi supermarket chain in Germany, which now comprises forty percent of the German grocery market.

Since its start as a small German grocery store in the late 1940's, Aldi has expanded to non-food items like textiles and hardware. It is now Germany's number one computer seller, with 60 percent of that market. The Albrecht brothers also have extensive landholdings in Germany, and in the U.S. hold 7% of Boise, Idaho-based Albertson's supermarkets.

Karl Albrecht is said to be the world's third-richest man, with a fortune estimated at $23 billion by Forbes magazine.

In 1971 Theo Albrecht was kidnapped for seventeen days for a ransom of $4 million. Since then both brothers have kept a very low profile. Aldi Group is a privately held company and is not open to public trading.

Feds warn Carter's baby clothes may cause rash


excerpt-

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government is warning parents about Carter's Inc. baby garments with tag-less labels after about 400 babies who wore the clothing developed rashes on their backs.

 The warning applies to the fall 2007 line, which includes about 110 million garments, said Mary Drayna, a manager for the Atlanta, Georgia, company. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday that children should stop using these garments if they develop a rash, but the agency did not announce a recall of the product line.

Drayna said the affected clothing includes knit items such as body suits, shirts and pajamas. She said the items have prompted about 400 reports of baby rashes, but she could not comment on how serious any of the rashes were or if any required hospital visits.

The garments were made in various foreign countries, and they were sold at Carter's retail stores and at department and national chain stores, according to CPSC. The clothing appeared on the market in fall 2007 and could still be on retail shelves, although Carter's has released other products since then, Drayna said.

Do You Love Stein Mart?
................................................


In the past I have seen some pretty poor offerings in the merchandise here.  In the last year we have had a surge in growth.  I see a lot of hotels going up not far from the university.  I was at Sears and usually shop there for mainly appliances.  I was impressed with the way the merchandise was presented and the quality is better.  This is after places like Target and Khols have done so well in the area.
Target has fallen down in a few areas, they didn't keep up with the original quality.  Beef it back up guys.  I'm pretty bored with our Macy's Store..... One I do like and feel would fly well here is -

STEIN MART.... this store is fun.  We want one.


http://www.steinmart.com/website.nsf/webpages/Home

I bought monkey book ends etc... off beat stuff...fun

They are doing better than some...

Earlier this month Stein mart reported year-to-date sales were down 6.9 percent, and comparable store sales were down 10.3 percent.

Analyst: General Mills could exceed expectations

Posted 13 November 2008 @ 01:55 pm HKT

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- An analyst on Wednesday said General Mills Inc.'s growth abroad is largely positive, despite economic challenges and the maker of Cheerios and Betty Crocker is on track to exceed expectations this year.

Barclays Capital analyst Andrew Lazar wrote in a note to clients Wednesday that the investment firm attended an analyst meeting at the company's headquarters in Minneapolis this week. The meeting discussed, among other things, the company's international business.

Lazar said General Mills' "organic momentum abroad continues to be largely positive" and although foreign exchanges -- such as the growing strength of the U.S. dollar -- could provide headwinds, that should be manageable.

"All in, despite this challenges, we still see General Mills as on track to exceed current management guidance for the full year and to potentially drive further upside in current Street expectations," Lazar wrote.

In September, the Golden Valley, Minn.-based company, known for Yoplait Yogurt and Pillsbury products, reported that revenue rose 14 percent in its first fiscal quarter but that profit fell 4 percent because of high commodity prices. But General Mills raised its full-year profit outlook, saying it now expects sales to grow in the mid-single-digit rate for the year. It expects earnings per share to fall in a range of $3.81 to $3.85, up from its previous range of $3.78 to $3.83 per share.

Analysts are predicting earnings per share of $3.91 in fiscal 2009, according to Thomson Reuters.

During World War II, American servicemen listened to it over the Armed Forces Radio
Services and dreamed of returning home. Even for those who never had known a white Christmas, the sentimental lyrics conjured happy memories of holidays spent with family and friends. The song gained unprecedented popularity, and five years after the first release Crosby recorded it again because -- according to one Hollywood legend -- the master copy was worn out from so much pressing.
