It means that people are feeling their oats again," he said. "That bodes well for the market in general."The stock performance of the seven Triangle companies that went public this year, however, has been all over the lot.ChannelAdvisor is the leader of this gang of seven. It went public at $14 a share in May; on Friday, its shares closed at $34.33, an increase of 145percent since its IPO.ChannelAdvisor provides technology that enables retailers to integrate and manage their online sales across a multitude of sales channels. The company is investing heavily in building up its market share and isn't profitable right now, but investors have Hooper is still working on getting the Makers been impressed by its better-than-expected results and the growth in e-commerce."They have a good product," Eddins said. "They're in the right place in the marketplace." "Short of luggage that packs itself, there's been a lot of innovation in the travel goods industry," said Michele Marini Pittenger, president of the Travel Goods Association.

"It's not enough to put a bag on wheels and put a handle on it. Now the industry is really trying to help travelers on their journey."Indeed. Searching for a carry-on that would fit in most overhead compartments but could handle a 10-day trip, I was surprised by the number of bags available, their price range (from about $150 to over $500) - and by all the features I wasn't sure I would ever need. After spending weeks researching carry-ons, I have come to the conclusion that there is no one-size-fits-all bag. However, there are some factors that all shoppers should consider if they're in the market for a wheeled carry-on that lets you avoid checking a bag. Most airlines in the United States, including American, Delta and United, allow carry-on bags that are no more than 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and nine inches high. Southwest and JetBlue accept a more generous 24 inches by 16 inches by 10 inches, and JetBlue even adds a couple more inches for cabin bags flying on its Airbus A320 planes.Although these size limits aren't always strictly enforced, you're taking a chance if you buy a carry-on that doesn't fit inside the metal sizers that sit near many boarding gates. But these bags are often 16 inches wide so they may not pass muster with meticulous gate agents for, say, American, Delta and United flights.

Hooper is still working on getting the Makers

" Hooper is still working on getting the Makers into their permanent space at the Leaseway, but moving the Makers into the Temple is what he calls "a partnership of convenience." He said he's been trying to develop the Temple space into a restaurant/bar, but admitted it's been a tough project to finance. I would appeal to anyone who has information He said having the Makers in the space is mutually beneficial: Having responsible tenants using the building prevents vandalism and further deterioration of the property.At the open house event, the second level of the building was transformed into a hands-on showcase of some of the Makers' output, including a mega-Tetris board and a life-sized version of the board game Operation. Over 40 visitors showed up in the first hour alone, which Schmidt said was "well beyond our expectations." Several of the visitors were families with young children who didn't hesitate to grab one of the "working" magic wands or hop on the bike of the human-powered Jacob's Ladder.The second floor is kept open for a variety of uses, while other categories are segmented together.

The laser printer sits on the mezzanine level, while metal and wood workshops are set up on the main level. Adams says the members' skill sets are heavy on electronics and machining, but he would love to get soft craft members in the space.Lansing native Adams, 32, works as a programmer at Michigan State University at the College of Arts and Letters. He worked for years to assemble the local inventors who became the group's founding members."They're trying to something that doesn't really exist around Lansing," Hooper said. "When they've established that, it's going to be a real catalyst for projects. Whether it's in business or expanding creativity, it's an outlet for people in the community who otherwise wouldn't have access to that equipment."Following the afternoon open house event was the Lansing Makers Network Opening Party. It was a chance for the members and friends to celebrate their work and successes thus far.Adams said several of the visitors expressed interest in memberships, which run between $50 and $80 per month, with discounts at three months and one year. Membership fees help pay for rent, utilities and insurance.

He was convicted of attempted grievous bodily

Sentencing Modiak to life in prison yesterday, Judge Graham Knowles QC said Modiak could easily have killed Mr Ursoi. "You are an extremely dangerous man, you present a serious risk of harm to members of the public,"They were literally torturing her he said.Talking directly to Wood, he added: "You have no concept of how people see you including the jury."That was evident with you defence you said you pretended to stab the man so you would be arrested and get the attention you deserve for what you call the 'miscarriage of justice' that happened in Scotland."He was convicted of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article. He was ordered to serve a minimum of five years and 124 days before being eligible for parole.He was eight years older and with money to burn thanks to his criminal activities. The couple married, but the relationship was brutally violent.Modiak was obsessional, possessive and a bully. He kept her away from friends and stopped her seeing her family.

Louise eventually took the brave step of leaving him, but even a court order insisting he stay away from his former partner was ineffective. Modiak began plotting the attack on his ex-wife three months after their divorce. His reign of terror came to a climax on February 13, 1991.Modiak had paid a man 3000 to throw a pint of sulphuric acid in his former wife's face while he watched from the vantage point of a getaway car.The hired hitman, Kelvin Greenhalghse, hit the then 26-year-old full in the face as she ushered her two children into a car in Hutchison Place, Slateford, during a shopping trip. The concentrated acid burned the enamel off her teeth and scarred her legs where it dripped through her clothes. Her sons, Deane, then eight, and Ryan, one, were also injured by the acid.Modiak who tried and failed to appeal against a 20-year jail sentence spent 14 years in prison.Greenhalghse, 32 at the time of the trial and from Armadale, West Lothian, was also jailed for 20 years. Louise was left blind and a prisoner in her own home."I'm out of prison now, but I'm still trapped.

They were literally torturing her

Knowing hedgehogs Mac will show every resolve to get better and be released.Philadelphia Police are searching for two suspects who invaded a home in the Oxford Circle section of the city and attacked one of the women inside with a hot knife."They were literally torturing her with a hot knife while she was tied up, demanding money," said Chief Inspector Scott Small.Police say the men stormed into the home on the 1500 block of Rosalie Street around 7:00 p.m. and tied up two women and an electrician, who just happened to be inside the home at the time. Two kids were also inside the home.Police say the men burned the 28-year-old woman with a knife that had been heated up on a stove, holding it against her forehead, arms and stomach after she refused to give up any money.Then, investigators say they picked up her 2-year-old daughter and threatened to kill her if they weren't given money.NBC10 talked with the electrician, who was also attacked.

"I had the broomstick in my hand, I started poking them with broomstick like 3 or 4 times. Then I was tossing with him and then after tossing with him, the other guy came who had the gun with him, he cracked me across the side of my face, across back of my head," said Tariq Adham.Police say the men got away with $3,000 to $4,000 cash. They were both wearing black hoodies and authorities say one of them was masked.A smudged fingerprint was found on the blade of a knife embedded in Paul Daly's chest. But an inquest heard that it can't be identified with the current forensic techniques available.Mr Daly was found dead at his home on Reedham Gardens in Penn, Wolverhampton, on April 9, 2006, having sustained a single stab wound to the chest.Since then police have made three arrests, conducted 18 interviews with suspects and taken more than 200 witness statements, but the case remains open.

The museum shop which is run by

This year you can actually see some visible difference. From the 1st of October, Ghose and her team initiated a Year of Indian Textiles that will carry on till the October of 2014. Within this, craftsmen, weavers and artisans from various Indian regions will continue to show and sell their wares here in rotation.They were literally torturing her To add to the permanent exhibition blocks, new white tents have been put up in the village complex as stalls. For the first time, artisans have been assigned dormitories to stay inside museum complex instead of finding lodging and boarding elsewhere in Delhi, which would make a big dent into their meager earnings.I sauntered in recently to look inside Lota, the museum store that was refurbished earlier this year and eat at Café Lota, the new Indian restaurant. The café has regional Indian cuisine and promises to develop its menu to include local produce from different states and authentic recipes that tell us about the diverse kitchens of this country. It is a nice restaurant with reasonably good food.

The museum shop which is run by the Handicrafts and Handloom Exports Corporation of India Ltd though has a long way to go in terms of depth and variety. It may have been jazzed up but it still resonates with a tiresome and repetitive selection instead of the best of best in Indian luxury. Brass and ivory artifacts, Kashmiri stoles, scarves and Phulkari pieces, wooden and indigenous jewellery, embroidered Kutchi blouses and ebony wood combs amongst other stuff may make it quaint but this is no powerhouse of retail objects sourced from the heat and dust of India's artisanal clusters. When will it be the clichéd "high time" that these products are mounted, packaged and labeled as luxury objects deserve to be? I also found the store staff generally disinterested and amenable largely to foreign visitors, a smart strategy given sales potential but not an equable one.Outside in the village complex, the artisans' stalls looked desolate waiting endlessly for buyers.

Economist Loren Scott said Louisiana

Townsend said Mosaic's original estimate of $700 million covered only the cost of the plant and didn't include the dock improvements, other improvements and the cost of two ocean-going barges and tugs needed to move the ammonia from Louisiana to Tampa, Fla., which would add $400 million to the price.Economist Loren Scott said Louisiana, and the Baton Rouge corridor, will be so busy with major plant expansion projects in the next few years that the Mosaic plant's absence might not be felt."In normal times that would have been a really serious hit. But when you're subtracting $700 million from $81 billion (statewide), it's not so (big),"The outlook was Alpine Scott said.Still, no one wants to lose a project of this size, especially one where the workers' wages would have been above average for manufacturing, Scott said.In announcing the project 11 months ago, Mosaic said the Faustina ammonia plant would have generated 1,400 construction jobs and created 53 full-time positions paying an average of $83,000 a year.

At the time, Mosaic, of Plymouth, Minn., estimated it would cost $700 million to build the plant, capable of producing 800,000 to 1 million tons of ammonia a year.A month before Mosaic's announcement, CF Industries said it would build a $2.1 billion ammonia plant at its campus in Donaldsonville.The plant is expected to begin production by 2016 and will create 93 permanent jobs.Under the contract, CF industries, with headquarters in Deerfield, Ill., will start supplying the ammonia before January 2017.CF Industries spokesman Daniel Swenson said the Mosaic contract will not require CF to expand its planned ammonia plant in Donaldsonville.The new plant will have enough capacity to handle the needs of both CF Industries and Mosaic, Swenson said.The Mosaic contract won't affect the construction timeline or the number of workers needed at the plant.Mosaic still plans to spend about $200 million to buy or lease the barges and tugs, Townsend said.Ocean-going barges can hold 22,500 tons of ammonia, compared with the 2,500-ton capacity of river barges.

The outlook was Alpine

There were chalets with wide eaves and painted beams and peppers drying on balconies. The land was green, far different from the desiccated brown or straw-bleached expanses of the meseta farther south. Above Balmaseda, 50 minutes from departure, the valley sides rose steep and pine-clad. The guard read El Mundo. The piped music played Fly Me to the Moon. An hour after departure, we had made 25 miles.It stopped below some spectacular sun-beaten crags, nerving itself to enter the station at Mercadillo. There, the train stayed. There was a problem. The line was closed, for half an hour, the guard said. He sounded upset, his pride dented. He got out and walked over to a low wall in the shade. After a while, calmed, he got back on the train, with much self-exculpatory gesturing and sat in his seat again, giving El Mundo another try.Spanish railway engineers are proud of getting trains to run like clockwork, but there are many enemies of promise: long distances, single-track lines, extremes of heat and cold, steep inclines, savage geology, cows.

In 1866, Lady Herbert of Lea, travelling for her health, in mourning and shunned by society (even Gladstone) for having become a Catholic, was enjoying the scenery from her railway carriage when "suddenly the train came to a standstill: an enormous fragment of rock had fallen across the line in the night, burying a luggage train; our party had no alternative but to get out, with our manifold bags and packages, and walk across the debris to another train, which, fortunately, was waiting on the opposite side". She soon learnt "to expect such incidents half a dozen times in the course of a day's journey". Now, at Mercadillo, just as everyone was beginning to wonder about the availability of overnight lodgings in this quiet spot in rural Biscay, a goods train rumbled past in the opposite direction, and off we went. It was only half an hour, as the guard had said.The train climbed, overlooking a wide valley, burying its head in the dark leafiness of beech, oak and chestnut woods, then out into broad day. We were in high Castile now, and winter ski slopes were not far away.

Wednesday was an early day for students

Wednesday was an early day for students, who were escorted to their rides home as police investigated the nearby scene.Athletic practices and games scheduled for after school on Wednesday were canceled, but class resumed normally on Thursday.There are three different RNA polymerases, each of which makes specific types of RNA molecule. For example, RNA polymerase II makes messenger RNA the 'middle-man' that carries the information encoded in DNA to a ribosome where it can be used to make a protein. RNA polymerases I and III make parts of the machinery which reads that messenger RNA: I builds the RNA that will eventually form a ribosome, while III makes the transfer RNA that carries the protein building blocks to the ribosome for assembly. Scientists have known for over a decade what RNA polymerase II looks like and how it works, but obtaining detailed information on the structures of its counterparts has proven extremely difficult. Now that they have managed to do so for RNA polymerase I, Müller and colleagues have found explanations for some of the protein's particularities.


Part of the difficulty in studying RNA polymerase I is that it is a larger molecule than RNA polymerase II. When they determined its 3-dimensional structure, the scientists found that some of the 'extra' modules in RNA polymerase I are remarkably similar to other, separate proteins that RNA polymerase II needs to do its job. It seems that RNA polymerase I has brought those helper modules permanently on board. In another part of the molecule, Müller and colleagues found that RNA polymerase I appears to have combined what in RNA polymerase II are two separate modules into a single, multi-tasking component. Together, these changes likely explain why RNA polymerase I can produce RNA molecules at a faster rate than RNA polymerase II.The findings also imply that the cell has fewer ways of controlling RNA polymerase I's activity, since it can't influence it by changing the availability of helper proteins as it does in the case of RNA polymerase II. But here, too, RNA polymerase I's Swiss-army knife strategy provides a solution.

Bowie knives are some of the most sought

As you can see, taking that bowie knife with you is not as difficult as you might have thought.Of course, these rules might pose a problem if you were only going to take a carryon bag and didn't intend to have any checked baggage. In this case, consider shipping your knife ahead to your destination if possible.Bowie knives are some of the most sought after and prized knives in the world. Their rugged good looks, Isuzu has gained its popularity throughout Asia impressive size and incredible durability and usability make them ideal for numerous situations, from clearing brush to personal protection. However, what actually qualifies as a Bowie knife? To answer this question, you'll have to understand a little bit about the history of this popular knife. Where did the knife get its start? What did the first versions look like? Why is this? First, it's because of the enormous popularity of these knives. Their widespread use and popularity has spawned any number of new designs and styles based off the "traditional" knife pattern. So, what qualifies a knife as a Bowie knife? The blade should be at least six inches long. It can exceed this length, though. You'll find Bowie knives with blades as long as twelve inches, or even longer.


The blade should be at least one inch wide, though longer knives might be up to two inches in width. The blade should only have a single edge, running along the bottom of the edge.These may or may not have a Spanish Notch - an area supposedly designed to trap an enemy's knife blade, but more likely used in a utilitarian manner. The tip of a Bowie knife is a special case. All knives tied to this particular heritage should have a clipped point. That is, the point of the knife should be located well below the spine of the blade and should connect with the spine via a curve that runs back toward the hilt and up to the spine.
