Turkish December Inflation Slowed to Year Low of 6.4%
Turkey's inflation rate fell to a year low in December, making it more likely the central bank will reduce interest rates further.
Consumer prices rose 6.4 percent from a year ago, after advancing 7.3 percent in November, the statistics office in Ankara said on its website today. Economists expected an increase of 6.8 percent, according to the median of five estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. Prices fell 0.3 percent from a month ago.
Central bank Governor Durmus Yilmaz has been trying to balance the demands of exporters, who are calling for cuts in the key rate to help slow inflows of foreign currency that may strengthen the lira, with the need to ease surging domestic demand. The bank on Dec. 16 reduced the benchmark interest rate to a historic low of 6.5 percent and increased the amount lenders have to set aside against loans. It said the net impact was a tighter monetary policy.
"The bank is trying to make policy looser externally to discourage speculative inflows while tightening from the domestic perspective," Inan Demir, chief economist at Finansbank AS in Istanbul, said in a telephone interview. "It would be difficult for the bank to convince markets of the need for it if inflation were increasing."
Yields on benchmark two-year lira debt fell to a record low of 7.04 percent following the inflation data. They reversed those gains later and were trading 5 basis points, or 0.05 percentage points, higher at 7.16 percent at 10:57 a.m. in Istanbul.
Economic Growth
Gross domestic product grew 5.5 percent in the third quarter of the year from the same period a year ago, largely fueled by domestic consumption, following a 10.2 percent jump in the three months through June. The economic expansion in 2010 probably exceeded the government's 6.8 percent forecast and was among the fastest in Europe, Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan said on Dec. 10. The economy contracted 4.7 percent in 2009.
Authorities want consumer lending "to expand, but by a reasonable amount," Babacan, who heads economic policy, said in an interview today with Bloomberg HT television. He said that if consumer loan growth remained just under 30 percent, which is where it ended 2010, it would be suitable.
Imports surged 36 percent annually in November, while exports grew 6 percent. The current-account gap widened to $40.8 billion, or about 5.6 percent of GDP, in the 12 months to October.
'Contagion Concerns'
A wider current-account deficit exposes Turkey to "market sentiment, including contagion concerns from problems in Europe," the International Monetary Fund said in a report on Turkey on Dec. 17.
The consumer-driven boom has helped push the National 100 share index in Istanbul up 25 percent in 2010, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index's 16.5 percent gain. It is also attracting foreign companies. In November Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA, Spain's second-biggest bank, agreed to pay $5.8 billion for 24.9 percent of Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS.
The December inflation rate compares with the bank's goal of 6.5 percent for the year. Yilmaz is predicting that inflation will slow to 5.4 percent by the end of 2011, close to its 5.5 percent target. The bank next meets to set the benchmark rate on Jan. 20.
Food prices fell 2.7 percent in December from a month earlier. The measure of core inflation that excludes food and energy prices accelerated to 3 percent from 2.5 percent, the statistics office said.
'Demand Pressures'
"The increase in core inflation is limited and it's too early to talk about demand pressures," Haluk Burumcekci, chief economist for Fortis Bank AS in Istanbul, wrote in an e-mailed comment. "The sharp decline in annual inflation strengthens the bank's hand in moving toward a rates cut this month."
The economy's revival also comes as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan prepares to seek a third term in office in elections due in June. The country survived the global crisis without bailing out any banks and last year Erdogan ended loan talks with the International Monetary Fund, saying Turkey can meet its borrowing needs without external assistance.
The cost of goods leaving Turkish factories and mines rose 8.9 percent in the 12 months through December, compared with 8.2 percent the previous month, the statistics agency said today. Producer prices rose 1.3 percent in the month.

PICTURES: Historical rowing raid begins
A rowing raid, involving St. Ayles rowing skiffs with teams from around Scotland and a group of schoolchildren from Bowness-on-Solway, has begun.
The group are re-enacting while learning more about a historical event, where residents of the Scottish town of Annan rowed over the Solway Firth to steal an English church bell.

Historical rowing raid re-enacted across Solway Firth
WATCH: Caerlaverock at dawn
It's the culmination of an epic journey, from a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean to Dumfries and Galloway.
The entire barnacle geese population from Svalbard off the coast of Norway will winter on the Solway Firth.
After almost dying out in the 1940s, at its peak, more than 35,000 are set to arrive here this year.
Many have already made the journey.
WATCH: 'It's one of the best wildlife spectacles in the UK'
Tens of thousands of barnacle geese are arriving in the region to winter on the Solway Firth.
The birds have travelled from a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean and have drawn in bird watchers from all over the UK

Geese swoop on Solway Firth
Tens of thousands of barnacle geese have begun arriving in the region for winter on the Solway Firth.
The birds have travelled from a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean. They draw in bird watchers from all over the UK.
Fishermen could face further salmon restrictions
Fishermen on the Cumbrian side of the Solway Firth could face further restrictions on the number of salmon they can catch.
The Environment Agency is proposing new rules that would mean only three salmon a year can be kept, rather than the ten currently allowed.
It claims the changes are necessary because the fish population is dangerously low. Although the low numbers of salmon are not due to over-fishing but to the poor survival rate of salmon at sea, the agency believes cutting the number of fish caught will help the population recover.
But haaf netters say the move would threaten a method of fishing that is unique to the area and dates back to the Vikings.
Body found on Solway coast
A body has been found washed up on the beach at the Solway Firth village of Portling.
The body was found on the Colvend coast around eight o'clock this morning about five miles south of Dalbeattie, when a local man was out walking on the beach.
Police believe the body may have been in the water for a considerable length of time.
The person has not yet been identified.

Aliens species discussed in Dumfries
Future of Solway Firth discussed
Action is being taken to sort out the growing problem of invasive species that are threatening native wildlife in the Solway. A species of shelfish called the Pacific Oyster has been found in several locations. It is intensively farmed along the coast of Scotland and is thought to have escaped.
There is also damaging non-native plants including wireweed and cordgrass.New legislation has come into effect this year which gives authorities on both sides of the Solway the power to prosecute fishermen or anyone else who does not comply with strict bio-security rules.
At a conference held by The Solway Firth Partnership, bio-diversity expert Sarah Brown from the Firth of Cylde Forum said that climate change and invasive species were the two major threats to Scotland's native marine environment.
On top of new legislation, the Solway's new Coastal Ranger Nic Coombey is asking landowners to look out for the Pacific Oyster and any examples will be noted and destroyed. The Pacific Oyster is larger than native varieties and the risk is that they could desimate local beds.
The confrence at Easterbrook Hall in Dumfries also heard from the chairman of the Solway Firth Partnership, Gordan Mann. The partnership has responsibility for both the English and Scottish sides of the Solway.
Mr Mann said the biggest challenge for businesses operating around the Solway was to co-ordinate and co-operate more in the future.
Planning law is different on both sides of the border so it is vital that organisations with an interest in the Solway maintain open communication, he added.
Crayfish pose 'serious threat' to sea life in Solway
Anglers are being warned to kill any crayfish they come into contact with. It comes after the non-native American Signal Crayfish was found for the first time in the River Nith in Dumfries.
The invasive species kills young fish and destroys natural habitats. Fishermen are now being asked to kill the crayfish if found and to take extra care when cleaning their fishing equipment and clothing to prevent eggs being spread.

ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) - A psychology professor at New York's Cornell University says it's a good day for a nap.
James Maas says the one-hour loss of sleep at the start of daylight saving time can bring a lack of focus. He says it usually takes about four or five days for the body's sleep clock to adjust.
Maas says he invented the term "power nap" -- and he says the perfect nap would last no more than 15 minutes, as long as it doesn't send you into a deep sleep, which makes you groggy when you wake up.
Another suggestion for coping with the time change is to expose yourself to light as soon as you wake up.

text: Home > Medical > Meds and you > Medication Updated 11 February 2013 Glicazide Glicazide is an oral blood glucose-lowering drug. 0 Test Using the wrong pills? » Quiz Addicted to pills? » Original vs generic medicine Brand-name vs generics Glicazide is the active ingredient of Austell-Glicazide, Diaglucide, Diamicron, Glucomed, Glycron, Glygard, Merck-Glicazide and Sandoz-Glicazide. General information Glicazide is an oral blood glucose-lowering drug. It is prescribed in the treatment and management of Type-2 diabetes that is not adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type-2 diabetes makes up 90 per cent or more of all cases of diabetes. Treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs should only be started once all lifestyle and dietary measures have been tried for at least three months and have not controlled blood-glucose adequately. Once treatment with this medication is started, diet and exercise should, however, not be stopped. Glicazide can be used on its own or in combination with other oral blood glucose-lowering drugs. For glicazide to remain effective it needs to be taken regularly. It is best taken 30 minutes before a meal to allow the insulin that is released as a result, to cope with food. Low blood sugar is a potential risk when being treated with this and similar drugs. Dosage should be titrated under supervision until the right dose has been found. It is therefore recommended to start treatment with low doses. Glicazide tends to encourage weight gain, and weight control is of great importance. This medication is used in general when the body is still making some insulin. How does it work? Glicazide acts by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, thereby promoting sugar uptake in the body. This ultimately lowers the level of sugar in the blood.

I enjoy coding and use Linux extensively, both at work and at play.
- Occupation:
- Software Engineer
I have to admit the LinuxBook I have for play is so much more fun than the ones at work though: it runs Linux From Scratch on a fully-encrypted software raid-0 array (just had to replace the optical drive bay with another hand drive, and then set up mdadm and GRUB correctly, no biggie : ) ) and usually runs the latest stable version of the kernel.
While I know some package-management mechanisms in popular Linux distributions, I also thought compiling everything from source is very appealing. I really wish to make meaningful contribution to development of Linux and FOSS in general, but currently I'm fairly occupied with my work and barely have time to learn. My employer is a major proponent of FOSS though... well I guess I'll just do whatever I can.
Happy hacking & have fun!
PS: actually I was born in December, 1990. I entered zero for my birth date just for lulz, but now I'm too shy to ask the admin for a change.

For three seasons, Tennessee's Chamique Holdsclaw, considered one of the best players ever produced by women's college basketball, lived a charmed existence.
The Lady Vols won national championships in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Holdsclaw was the Most Outstanding Player at the 1997 Final Four and again in 1998, when Tennessee finished a perfect 39-0.
Holdsclaw was working out in the Tennessee weight room before the 1999 season, talking with coach Pat Summitt, when she asked: "You know what? I can't wait until March."
Holdsclaw now laughs into the phone at the memory. The peerless 6-foot-2 forward just returned from Russia, where she played for a team in Samara, two hours outside of Moscow. After re-injuring her knee, she is rehabilitating it in Washington, D.C., where she plays for the Washington Mystics of the WNBA. Last year, Holdsclaw led the women's pro league in rebounding (10.9) and was second in scoring (20.5).
"Looking back," Holdsclaw says, "I was looking too far ahead. You're like, 'March is where it counts.' You have confidence in your team. You're thinking, 'We're good enough. Oh, man I can't wait to step it up to the next level.' In retrospect, my mind wasn't where it was supposed to be. I just wanted to get there so quick.
"Senior year? Of course, you're thinking four in a row."
The Lady Vols won their opener in 1999 to run their winning streak to 46 games -- then lost the second game to Purdue, the team that would go on to win the championship.
"We were America's team and then, all of a sudden, wow, we lost," Holdsclaw said. "We were kind of shocked. 'Why isn't this easy for us?' "
"Chamique had a lot of high expectations for herself," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt recently told Lori Riley of the Hartford Courant. "Everybody was talking about the fact that she would be the No. 1 draft pick, and the four (championships) in a row. Without question, every gym we went into, she was a marked woman.
"As great a player as she was, it wore on her by the end of the year. It wasn't like her junior year. We pretty much had the same group in '99, but it was different."
Tennessee (31-2) advanced to the East Regional final, but was oddly listless, falling to Duke, 69-63. Holdsclaw started the game a chilling 0-for-10 from the floor and finished 2-for-18.
"We had a great team," Holdsclaw said. "I just played the worst college game of my career. I didn't make plays. No one was able to step up. It was like nothing was rolling for us."
But it's always been tougher to win when you're expected to win. And it's always been twice as tough to make the plays when everyone knows you're the playmaker. That's why Holdsclaw can relate to UConn's Diana Taurasi. While this was supposed to be the year Taurasi walked off into the record books with another national title and the label as the greatest women's college basketball player ever, it hasn't been a smooth path.
"She's the leader, the main player," Holdsclaw said. "She's thinking, 'I have to do this for the team, I have to do that for the team.' You start to stress. You try to do something for everyone.
"She can probably play point guard, wing, dribble, rebound, everything. She's thinking, 'I've got to get this rebound. I've got to get us to play defense.' You wind up spreading yourself all over the floor."
This is a common problem at the powerhouse known as UConn. Jen Rizzotti was Taurasi before, well, Taurasi, and teamed with Rebecca Lobo to lead UConn to its first national title, in 1995. But then the weight of expectations set in the following year.
"When Rebecca (Lobo) graduated, everyone sort of wrote us off. I felt like we had something to prove and I had something to prove. It was well documented, my numbers were down my senior year.
"It does affect how you play. I couldn't do it for other people. Obviously, I was concerned about the juniors stepping up. As a point guard you're responsible for everyone else."
Explained UConn coach Geno Auriemma in 1996: "How much emotional energy do you think she invests trying to raise the other people's level higher? Maybe you can do that for one game, maybe for a week? Can you do that for three months?
"Then, all of a sudden, you're fried."
Sound familiar?
"I think that everybody has an expectation of you and your season being your best one, the numbers being the highest," Rizzotti said. "(Taurasi's) numbers were so good her junior year, I don't know if that was possible.
"Every senior wants the championship. When you're a junior, there's not that same sense of urgency, that same pressure you put on yourself to go out the right way. Last year, no one expected it from them. No one expected it from us in '95. It was like, 'Let's have fun.' This year? They got everybody back. You feel that little bit of extra pressure. You know, 'This is my last chance. I don't want to blow it.' "
And that's where you can stumble.
"It's probably the same thing that I felt. A little bit of pressure that's maybe preventing you from being the loose player from the year before," Rizzotti said. "She definitely wants to carry the team. In her mind, 'I need to do this. I hit all the big shots last year, so I'm supposed to do that again.' "

At last, has balance returned to C-USA?
Originally Published: January 5, 2011By Andy Katz | ESPN.com
Conference USA had to go down to the final few minutes of its league tournament last season to get two NCAA tournament bids. Had Houston not been able to beat UTEP, the conference was looking at just one bid.
That would have been a crushing blow to a league that was trying to get out from under the shadow of being dominated by Memphis for the previous seasons under John Calipari. The league was desperate to create its own identity. If that was going to occur, Conference USA needed multiple ...

- About
When using chemicals or hazardous materials at American University, faculty, staff, and students are expected to follow all appropriate regulations and university policies. Once any chemicals or hazardous materials have been used, all waste must be disposed of properly.
University policy requires each individual in control of chemicals to maintain an accurate chemical inventory in order to minimize waste, track reporting limits, and comply with hazard communication laws. The College of Arts and Sciences uses an internal SharePoint site (AU login required) to manage their chemical inventory and link to Safety Data Sheets. Access to this site is managed by EH&S. For a link to the website or to receive or update access, contact the individual listed on the bottom of this page.
Hazardous waste must be handled according to national and local guidelines. No amount of hazardous waste may be thrown into the regular trash or poured down the sink. Please contact Environmental Health and Safety to arrange disposal of all hazardous waste.
The following provides a summary of how each hazardous waste stream is handled at American University:
If not contaminated with an infectious agent, dispose of material in a glass waste box. When full, close it securely and bring it to the designated waste accumulation area for pick-up.
These items must be disposed of in a sharps container. When a container is 3/4 full, close it and place it in a medical waste box provided by EH&S. Prior to the scheduled medical waste pick-up, tape the medical waste box closed and label it "sharps". Sharps waste and other pathological waste must be in separate boxes and may not be mixed. No box may exceed 40 pounds.
Soiled animal bedding that is non-infectious (Biosafety Level 1) should be double-bagged, knotted or taped closed, and placed in the designated waste bin to be disposed of via the regular trash. No bag should exceed 40 pounds.
Biosafety Level 2+ labs must dispose of all animal bedding waste as medical waste, with red bags and biohazard boxes. Biohazard boxes are picked up by EH&S at pre-arranged times and upon request.
Place medical waste in red bags only. When full, close bags and place in cardboard medical waste box provided by EH&S. Contact EH&S to schedule pick-up. Prior to a scheduled medical waste pick-up, tape boxes shut.
Boxes must be under 40 a piece. Boxes exceeding 40 pounds will not be picked up.
If material can be autoclaved or otherwise sterilized so that it no longer presents a biological or sharps hazard, it may be disposed of as regular waste.
Bag and store all animal carcasses in the designated freezer only.
Within 6 hours of a scheduled medical waste pick-up, pack bags in the biohazard boxes provided be EH&S and tape shut. Boxes must be under 40 a piece. Boxes exceeding 40 pounds will not be picked up.
Collect waste in a chemically compatible container. Ensure that the waste container is labeled appropriately with an AU hazardous waste label. When full or more than 120 days have passed (whichever comes first), securely close the container and place it in the laboratory's designated waste storage area.
Research equipment contaminated with any hazardous material must be decontaminated by a qualified individual prior to recycling or disposal. If the equipment cannot be decontaminated, it must be disposed of as the hazardous waste in contains.
No amount of radioactive material may be discharged into the sewage system (including all drains and toilets) or otherwise released into the environment.
Store in the restricted laboratory's waste accumulation area and segregate by the isotope's half-life.
For isotopes with half-lives less than 125 days, the Radiation Safety Officer will transfer waste to the decay-in-storage area at quarterly intervals and upon request.
Isotopes with half-lives greater than 125 days cannot decay in storage. The Radiation Safety Officer will transfer waste to the waste storage area on a quarterly basis and upon request.
Do not mix solid/dry waste products with liquid waste regardless of the isotopes involved.
Waste containers will be provided by the University's Environmental Health and Safety office or must meet the specifications set by the Radiation Safety Officer.
Controlled substances not dispensed and rendered irretrievable during the course of their useful life may be disposed of through Environmental Health and Safety. Contact the individual listed at the bottom of this page to schedule a controlled substance disposal.
Per DEA regulations, two employees of the registered license holder must be present to observe the handling of the controlled substance until it is rendered non-retrievable. Contact the EH&S office for more information on proper destruction and recordkeeping techniques.
The Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders, or WISER, provides a wealth of information on hazardous substances. Although designed for first responders, it is a great resource for any individual seeking chemical identification support, health information, handling recommendations, environmental effects, and more.
Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Management of Chemical Hazards is a great resource for those interested in learning more about chemical safety in the laboratory. Topics include chemical and waste management, laboratory facilities and security, applicable safety laws, and more. Downloads for individual use are available free on the National Academy Press website.
In 2011, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board issued an informational video exploring three laboratory accidents that have occurred at higher education institutions across the country. The events leading up to each accident and their implications on laboratory safety culture is discussed. A link to the video can be found under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of this page.

Your recent article, "Inspiring," which appeared on the front page of The Tribune on Nov. 2, was the best article I have read on your front page in years.
The story by sports editor Zach Spicer was about Seymour High School football manager Nick Anthony and what's become known as "Nick's play" after the Seymour-Madison football game.
Thank you for such an article for a deserving young man.

I've read a little bit about shoes for running on asphalt and for trail-running, but they always refer to lightweight people. I would like to know what to look for in a running shoe when my weight is between 80 and 85 kilograms?

This cooler has a better fill level design than the older model I had. Much easier to see the water level. It is easy to operate and is not really noisy. I do wish it had an automatic shut off when it runs out of water but the water tank is sufficient for5 hours or so. I am in a very dry climate so it does work very well.
I live in a hot, dry, desert climate and it gets to 115+ degrees in the summer. I like evaporative coolers because they reduce the price of the power bill for central air, but also add moisture to the air. The problem is that I go through these coolers every several seasons. This year I decided to just get "cheaper" ones, since even the expensive ones didn't last. Soo, I got this cooler about a month ago, and it works great. It does NOT cool the house, but it definitely keeps the living area much cooler, and adds the needed moisture. I save a lot of money using this cooler. It works great and we haven't had any problems with it. It's slightly clunky, but less so than others ones I've had. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cooler.
Was pretty excited to get this. I plugged it in and it seemed to blow fairly cold air with a pretty good fan speed. I heard it shut off after about an hour and it has never turned back on since. Junk
Cooler worked brilliantly on the first few nights, but stopped working after the fifth night. The electronics appeared functional -- just nothing else worked. No fan. No cool air. Nothing. Overstock did send out a replacement immediately, so we'll see how it goes. For the hassle I've already been through, I probably wouldn't buy again. My initial reaction when the first unit arrived was, "Oh crap, Overstock sent me a returned item." This was based on the chords not being wound properly and parts of the unit that were already installed, which -- according to the directions -- shouldn't have been. Anyway, second unit looks better. Will update if this one dies too.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Looked fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The first one lasted exactly eight days, with five nights of usage. Product died on the hottest evening of the summer -- so far.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Since the site didn't say it would die after five nights of use, I would say it's innacuurate
Can be use for smaller space like bedroom to make it work. It's not 100% effective like an AC but it some what cools off small area.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly the same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good. It cools my bedroom. It's not 100% cold but it helps
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Ot that accurate

There are high-risk pregnancies all around us. I can easily think of 5 women who've had extremely scary and intense pregnancies. We might not know how many women are struggling because they don't want to talk about it openly.
I am one of those women who had a stressful pregnancy with the end result being induction two weeks early and the looming possibility of my child's death if he had gone to full term with the issue unrecognized. I had something called Cholestasis of pregnancy.
My liver wasn't functioning properly and it put the toxins my body couldn't metabolize onto my baby's liver instead. They never let pregnancy go past 38 weeks because of the toxins in the bloodstream. I had to go to numerous extra appointments in my last month, every single one ending in the possibility of admittance to the hospital. All of this while working retail Christmas hours and being bogged down by the biggest side effect of cholestasis: ITCHING.
I'm not telling you this for pity, I'm sharing my story because I felt very solitary in my pregnancy. I had plenty of friends and family surrounding me with support and love, but I felt like no one really understood what those last months of my pregnancy felt like, nor did I want them to. I didn't want another mom to ever feel the way I did during that time.
I didn't want sympathy as much as I wanted a hug or a listening ear. What can you say when you're afraid for your unborn child's life? It's supposed to be the most joyous and exciting time, and it's shaken with fear instead. It's almost impossible to put in words.
I believe those feelings aren't just from high-risk pregnancies, but also from women who lost a baby, whether short or long term, and are scared to get pregnant again. Heck, even women who have perfectly "normal" pregnancies are scared too!
Last but not least, it especially includes moms who have had a baby in the NICU. Here are a few things I believe a spouse or friend should read to help better understand how to encourage someone who is afraid during the most fragile yet exciting time of life.
Make her laugh. I can't tell you how many times I floated off into lala land imagining the worse possible scenario. I would have to steer myself out of temporary sadness multiple times a day. Everyone needs to laugh … NEEDS to. It is the best possible thing to lighten the moment and even if it's only a moment, it is needed. If your spouse or friend seems distant or down, don't let it pull your mood with it, simply think of something that could cheer her up. It will work and be appreciated.
Don't ask, just do. Sometimes I had problems expressing what I needed or wanted during this time. Same goes for post pregnancy. I've found that the most blessings simply came from someone saying, "I'm dropping off dinner for you guys tonight. No, I don't want to come in, I'm just leaving it for you." I couldn't respond with no because they wouldn't let me. Most people know I have pride, I don't always like accepting help, and I was overwhelmed. Easy solution? Just do it anyway. Don't ask a woman whose mind is in 50 different directions to make another choice. She will end up saying she doesn't want/need anything when she does, she's just too tired to tell you. Doesn't have to be food. It can be anything. I'm coming to watch the kids while you get out of the house, I'm coming for an early evening stroll around the block with you, etc.
Bring peace with you. It is so easy to get worked up in a frenzy over every tiny statistic of a closely watched pregnancy. Everyone wants to know every detail of every appointment. They want to know because they love and care, but that does not make it any less overwhelming. Most of her life feels like it is a number, or a weight, or a private detail that everyone wants to be public. Remember that she might not want to tell you everything. It is probably because she doesn't want to say it out loud. She doesn't want to repeat her fears. She doesn't want to see that look on your face when she tells you things aren't that great and she feels like balling her eyes out. Instead, bring peace with you. Bring kind words. Don't prod too much into doctor details without her elaborating on her own. She will tell you if she wants to. If not, pray anyway. Be a friend who is ready with a hug and even some silence as that might be just what she needs to hear.
Talk about when the baby is here. I know for a fact it is hard to talk about "when the baby is here," when you're afraid if the baby will ever come. Remind them that the day will come. It is hard to think through all of the "what ifs," so let's talk about the "whens." Talk about when they get older, what you can't wait to teach them, laugh about dumb things you did when you were little that you won't let them do. Help her enjoy the memories to come. Help her smile about the brightness that is ahead, and most definitely keep trusting for those great times to come.
Protect her. Keep her emotions safe with you. Don't tell everyone what she tells you in confidence and stick up for her if you see others asking too much of her. I sometimes didn't want to be rude but was truly not wanting to say another word about "the pregnancy." Other times I desperately wanted to talk about it, but not with certain people who made me uncomfortable. I know a certain great friend who got someone I love through a hard time. You know what the great friend did? She called the doctor late at night and asked him the question herself. She didn't want her friend to be stressed. She wanted the problem solved. So she stepped up and did it for her. That is protection. That is friendship, and that is what someone who is weary really needs.
All of my love to any struggling parents, pre-parents, post-parents. My thoughts go with you!

I have a python script which is working fine so far. However, my program does not exit properly. I can debug until and I'm returning to the end, but the programm keeps running.
main.main() does a lot of stuff: it downloads (http, ftp, sftp, ...) some csv files from a data provider, converts the data into a standardized file format and loads everyting into the database.
This works fine. However, the program does not exit. How can I find out, where the programm is "waiting"? There exist more than one provider - the script terminates correctly for all providers except for one (sftp download, I'm using paramiko)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main.log = main.log2both
filestoconvert = []
#filestoconvert = glob.glob(r'C:\Data\Feed\ProviderName\download\*.csv')
main.main(['ProviderName'], ['download', 'convert', 'load'], filestoconvert)
I'm happy for any thoughts and ideas!

The useful fetish DVD breaks it all down into steamy specifics.
With a director named "Sineplex" we can't be faulted for describing the action as utterly generic - but that hardly discounts the arousal potential, which is rock solid. Threesomes and foursomes abound; as do tangy A2M action, double penetrations and arcs of roping jizz fired across fleshy ports and bows.

They way said schlongs are plumbed to the very depths of girly holes should provide enough spanking entertainment for a whole weekend.

We have transfected HEK-293 cells using a vector with the protein of interest and that confers G418 resistance. We are now performing limiting dilution methods to perform clonal selection and choose the best producers. However, when we seed cells at 1 or 5 or 10 cells/well in 96 well plates, cells do not attach, do not divide and die in 2-3 days. Any idea what can be happening? Is it worth to perform cloning calculating higher numbers of cells per well?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Try coating the wells with collagen or poly-lysine, this will help with attachment. You may also need to add conditioned medium to help keep the low cell numbers alive- cells secrete things which help with attachment and growth, if you have low numbers, there won't be enough of these in the medium to keep the cells alive.
Posted 21 October 2011 - 12:20 AM
Clever advices. I assume that when you say "conditioned medium" you mean just to pick up culture medium coming from a flask full of cells to get the growth factors etc that are absent in the non-conditioned one?
Thanks a lot for the help!
Thanks a lot for the help!
Posted 23 October 2011 - 12:08 AM
Correct. You should filter the medium (0.2 um to remove any contaminating cells and debris) and store it aliquotted at -80 if you need to keep some.

Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American musician, songwriter, composer, record producer, actor and filmmaker. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, jazz, orchestral and musique conc...rète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for 20th-century classical composers such as Edgard Varèse, Igor Stravinsky, and Anton Webern, along with 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands; he later switched to electric guitar.
Connect any celebrity with Frank Zappa to see how closely they are linked... romantically!

The pulpy stuff, fiber, that's all good for you. Juice alone in too much sugar.
Is it just me or is the mom looking younger and younger in this strip? She's starting to look like a teenager.
^^ Two valid points.
Adam would enjoy a Cinnamon Roll Smoothie
Years ago I was recovering from having teeth removed and my dear niece brought me a huge cinnamon roll, which of course I could not eat because I had stitches in my mouth
It looked so good…
Broke it up, put it in a blender with some milk and butter, heated the resulting slop and added a glop of ice cream
It was good
@Doctor Toon – that sounds wonderful.
You didn't add your Nuclear Coffee????
For shame!!!!
Sometimes the simple pleasures are best.
SUSAN! I left a link on yesterday's Andy Capp that you might be interested in.
You have to be careful with that Nuclear Coffee. You never know what it might have done with those stitches.
I have to be careful what I mix with my Nuclear Coffee, the nice folks from Homeland Security said so
Fructose needs to have fiber to be properly used by the body. Why high fructose corn syrup is so bad for you. No fiber and it is concentrated.
Oh Adam is not lacking. After all he's got a pretty wife who is gainfully employed outside the home. And, he's a stay-at-home Dad! That takes brains & bravery!
Especially considering those 2 charming children!
Three charming children: Baby Nick can detonate a revenge-fueled land mind if he wants to. All babies have this ability. Some are stealthy ninjas about it, whilst others are promoted to four-star generals before they even learn how to crawl.

Mecklenburg County Bar/Mecklenburg Bar Foundation
Leadership Institute
Bar Leadership Institute Graduates
Program Overview
The primary focus of the Bar Leadership Institute (BLI) is to identify and develop leaders for the Mecklenburg County Bar and Mecklenburg Bar Foundation. The goal of the BLI program is to provide an opportunity for participating attorneys to:
· develop their personal leadership potential and skills to become a leader in the Bar/Foundation;
· become aware of leadership opportunities with the Bar/Foundation and the greater Charlotte community;
· consider pressing Bar and community issues with peers and presenters of the highest caliber;
· develop a spirit of lasting collegiality with their fellow participants; and
· apply what they learn and participate in a BLI class project.
The BLI begins with kickoff/volunteer recognition event followed by a mandatory weekend retreat in January. The retreat is designed to provide you with an in depth look at leadership within the Bar/Foundation and how it is measured from a number of perspectives, including, but not limited to:
· professionally - as a Bar member and leader;
· as a business owner - partner or owner of law firm;
· as a civic leader/public servant - not for profit role, community support; and/or
· personally - as a citizen, parent, friend, etc.
During the BLI program, you will be guided by facilitators, but your growth will come from this unique opportunity for both introspection and insight from your classmates. During the four months following the retreat, participants will have opportunities for individual coaching by the facilitators and will attend a series of seven evening discussion sessions featuring special guests. Past presenters have included Bar and civic leaders, law professors, and judges.
A final session will encourage you to reflect on the BLI experience and to consider potential avenues of leadership in your Bar/Foundation, your organization, and your community. In an effort to further participants' impact on the Bar/Foundation and the community, the class will be expected to take on a class project.

From Our Editors
When perched on a cushy high-rise seat inside the retro environs of Cindy's Diner, one will likely encounter owner John Scheele as he darts about the kitchen, whipping up hearty home-style dishes lauded by reporters from News Sentinel. He sets down simmering plates of farm-fresh eggs, stacks of hot cakes, and thick sandwiches on the bright red and chrome bar, taking time to greet new faces and exchange new jokes with the regulars. When the skilled cook gets an order for his signature "garbage" breakfast, he cracks open eggs before mixing in potatoes, cheese, onions, and ham. He also creates fresh donuts using an old-fashioned machine, icing the warm morsels in strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
John keeps his establishment a family affair with his wife Cindy, along with their three children and 20 grandchildren, who can often be spotted serving plates of all-day breakfast and refilling mugs of coffee. Rustic jukeboxes rest on the countertop, showcasing a selection of old-timey tunes, such as "Seven Spanish Angels" and "There's No Such Thing as a Cordless Telephone".

Welcome to the Rag Morris and Folk Club website!
A big hello to all visiting here, whether you're interested in folk music, morris dancing or both!
We warmly invite you to any and all of our dances this year - have a click at our Future Events tab to see what's what on the calendar, or if you're up for a dance yourself simply scroll down for information about practices and how to join. Folk club details are on the Folk Club tab (we're imaginative like that), and we're always very happy to see new players or listeners - everybody is welcome! We can't wait for you to come and say hello!
On Thursday 21st July we have our regular practice in the student union building. After that we give everyone a break for August!

Morris Practices
We practise on Thursday evenings, generally in the Clifton area. We're into our summer timetable now, which means practices will alternate with friendly pub dance-outs. Check the top of the page for the date for our next practice, and you're welcome to come and meet us at each fortnight's pub of choice - have a look at facebook or the calendar tab for our plans.
At each practice we teach a new dance completely from basics. No fee, no kit needed - just show up with comfy clothes and your bounciest shoes for an active evening. We'll be heading to a nearby pub afterwards.
Book us!
Rag Morris are always happy to consider invitations to dance at festivals, fêtes, wassails, weddings and any other event you can think of. To find out more information please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Folk Club also has a snazzy new ceilidh band for hire! Get in touch with email@example.com if that sounds as fab to you as it does to us!
Fancy a go?
New recruits are always welcome. Our Morris teaching year begins in late September so that's when we'll be looking at the easier dances and going on a bit of a recruitment drive, but don't hold back - you're welcome along at any time! If you're musically inclined, we'd love you to bring along your instrument and join our band. Come along, to dance or play, whoever you are! If you want to get in touch before turning up just drop an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you're a UBU member you can join the society by visiting and logging in here. That'll cost you the grand fee of £0. We like free stuff as much as the next handful of broke students.
Yes that was us! 24 members of Rag Morris performed on stage with Eric Idle, an opera singer, roller skating nuns, Roman soldiers, angels, Bhangra dancers, Blackheath Morris Men, Scottish pipers and a Welsh rugby choir as part of the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games! What an experience it was for all involved! Well done to all the Raggies who took part. Check out our Olympic pages for details and photos of the event.

I have a VMWare ESXi server with the RCLI appliance installed. I was wondering if it was possible for the RCLI host to mount the filesystem of another guest. I'm assuming there's some way for it to mount the vmfs (as I understand it, at least) where all the guest vmdk's (?) live.
I was looking for something like VMDKMounter.app on VMWare Fusion. So I went looking for what
mount.* commands were available and I found
What is vmhgfs?
Is it vmfs by a different name?
Will it let me mount vmdk's with an ext3 filesystem, assuming I could get the right mount point set up?

Another milestone to remember from these hazy baby days: the first time I felt inspired, I mean truly inspired, not I'll-roast-sweet-potatoes inspired, not I'll-make-a-comfort-kale-salad inspired, but actually, genuinely inspired to create something new in the kitchen post-baby was Tuesday, September 1, nine weeks and three days after the little man entered our world. I wondered when this day would come. In the immediate days after Rocco was born, I doubted it ever would. So many of those first few weeks while I sat on our living room sofa watching the world through our front windows, I doubted I would ever do even the simplest things again. I had lost half my blood supply at the hospital, a statement that surprised me as much when they first told me as it does now when I think about it, and while I recovered, things that were always easy to overlook about everyday life---walking to the bathroom, laying down in bed, getting a drink, taking a shower---became luxuries I fantasized about … [Read more...]
Buckwheat Cheese Crackers with Rosemary
We were at the store to pick up a cart's worth of water when I spotted it: a red box of those classic yellow cheese crackers in someone else's load. I haven't had cheese crackers like those in six years or more, but as soon as I saw them, just like that, I couldn't get the salty, cheesy taste of them off my mind. When we got home, it turned out we were out of all flours but buckwheat, but then I spotted this recipe online. And if you, like me, don't immediately think buckwheat when you think cheese cracker, let me tell you, this recipe could be the thing to make that change. These crackers are killer! Addictive and salty and easy to pop by the handful. I used Bob's Red Mill organic whole-grain buckwheat flour, which creates a darker, grayer look than some other brands, but the taste was, no question, such a perfect, nutty complement to the cheese, I am honestly shocked I've never had buckwheat and cheddar together before. I don't usually go posting new recipes within 24 hours of one … [Read more...]
this is how I like my French Fries (+ some links)
Up next in Things That Are Better Roasted with Coconut Oil: French fries. I'm such a sucker for matchstick potatoes, roasted with coconut oil, salt and pepper, little else. Greek potatoes are nice and I can get down with a good breakfast hash, but tall and skinny French fries are my fave. I'm talking about the kind that are 90% about the cutting and 10% about everything else. It's a similar method to what we do with sweet potatoes, and it's so simple I've almost talked myself out of posting it, especially after watching a screening of the fancy-food-centric Hundred-Foot Journey movie tonight, but it's summer and everybody wants easy food, and besides that who doesn't like French fries, so here you go, along with some also hard-not-to-love links, below. Other things worth noting: + When Tim and I first met, I was blogging here, and he was blogging at ETTLT.com. ETTLT stands for Eat Today to Live Tomorrow, and although the site took a hiatus for awhile, while Tim … [Read more...]
Potato Fritters with Roasted Zucchini, Cucumber Corn Salad & Cumin Dill Yogurt Sauce
I've fallen into the habit this summer of roasting whatever vegetables we have on hand for dinner, usually with just coconut oil, salt and pepper, sometimes with one or two other spices from the cabinet added in, and then arranging them all on a plate like they're fancy. These potato fritters are a perfect example of that. At first glance, they seem elaborate, but when you get down to it, they're really just local vegetables arranged and barely adorned in a new way. There have been times in my life where I've thought that arranging a plate---or picking out an outfit or cleaning the sink or organizing a bookshelf---is a shallow, silly, empty thing to do. It's not reading a book. It's not deep discussion. It's nothing cerebral or heady or life-changing in and of itself. Nobody looks back at the end of her life and says I wish I'd made more dinners prettier. And yet somewhere in my soul I think I've always also known that you can't argue with the way it hits you when someone … [Read more...]
Summer Squash Soup + Cheesy Zucchini Crispies
Our friend Terry said something to us last week about how culture is like a thumbprint embedded on our souls. Like a lot of things we don't pick or ask for, that thumbprint is predetermined for us when we're born; it surrounds us; we swim in it. Like the air we breath, our culture is part of everything we think and do, affecting us, being affected by us, and yet virtually unnoticeable. I am a different person because I was born into the geographic location of the Chicago suburbs and not South Florida or small-town Texas or northern California, I realize, the first child of a Midwestern couple who were starting a new business, not working at office jobs, and a new family, not a big one, in the early 1980s. My personality and perspectives have been affected by a childhood in private school instead of public school where my mom and not my dad cooked most nights and my family ate out often. I went to northern Wisconsin most summers, not the East or the West. It was normal to me that people … [Read more...]
Rainbow Guacamole with Beets and Apples
I was a bride of one night when Tim and I packed up our bags, bought a sourdough sandwich at O'Hare Airport and boarded an American Airlines jet for our eight-hour nonstop flight to Honolulu. The day before had been filled with nonstop activity: his going to the car rental place, my fussing with my hair over and over again, his driving with the photographer to Morton Arboretum, my being denied access because the gate attendant saw my wedding dress but no $300 photography permit to go along with it. Before the wedding, there were people all over my parents' house: members of the bridal party staying there, hanging out in the dining room, eating with us in the kitchen. During the wedding, there was a crisis when the lone violinist didn't show and the relief when my friend Becky stepped in. When we stepped out of the church, greeting people for the first time as man and wife, there was a frantic 15 minutes pulling together family for pictures and my giving orders for who to come where and … [Read more...]
Soaked Vanilla Maple Almond Butter
If I told you today's almond butter recipe was the best almond butter I've ever eaten in my life, half of you would be skeptical, and the other half wouldn't care. Actually, I'm projecting. I only know that if I were you, I would be skeptical, or I wouldn't care. I tend toward the cynical. But in all my analyzing, I've found that we who tend towards disbelief are actually the once highly hopeful; it's just that at some point, we put those high hopes into something (politics, people, friends, projects, ideas), and that something let us down. So then, rather than being let down again, we disbelieve; we say, "prove it"; we try to control what can hurt us by being highly choosy about what we let in. I get it. I do it. But the only problem with walling all new things out is that you miss some legitimately good new things. When you lock up your heart against hurt, you lock it up against love, too, like C.S. Lewis said. You lose out on hope! And, to bring it back to the almond butter, the … [Read more...]

If you're from Chicago, then you know that Lollapalooza is one of the biggest–if not the biggest–weekends of the year. There's nothing else comparable to being able to see all your favorite artists in the heart of the city, sandwiched between Lake Michigan and the scenic downtown skyline. This year's Lollapalooza is even more special than usual, considering that the festival will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. In honor of that, an extra day(!) has been added to the lineup, making it one of the most packed, can't miss events of the year. Because of that, I'm sure the choices of who to see can be a bit overwhelming. Of course, that's where we come in to help. On the next few pages, we've highlighted some of our picks to help guide your decision-making process and possibly influence you to check out some new talent. No matter who you end up choosing, make sure to have fun and be safe out there guys!
(P.S. Even if you won't be partaking in the festivities this year, you'll still have plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun. The beauty of Lollapalooza is that all your favorite artists are gathered in one location, so chances are there's another gig in the city you'll want to be at. You can check out the full list of aftershows over at Do312.)

Mother nature has not cooperated very well this year and we had the latest start to our season we've had in years. Basically the entire month of December was our preseason. Warm temps hurt snowfalls but gave us slushy spring conditions to start the season. It didn't take long for people to get their legs back and start throwing down. I don't know what's in the water in Dresser, Wisconsin but Trollhaugen really is home to some of the most progressive rail riding anywhere. Enjoy the first monday minute of the season!

A spell happened itself upon our slope of Boreal. There is no diagnosis nor locution to even begin a dictum in regards to Her day-to-day goings-on. She attracts those who believe and who act. She beckons through the wind for more; from the Wind itself and from within. She holds an intrinsic knowing capable to only those who feel and allow their magnet to respond to Hers. Though you are entitled to your doubts, we have, for your viewing pleasure, documented proof of Her sorcery. Despite this spellbinding visual article acting as proof, perhaps it is also evident of a knowing that we are finding in ourselves. Well now, I suppose that we will just have to keep boarding to find out.

Oil Trades Near One-Week Low on U.S. Fuel Use; Spain Downgrade
