- Description
I made this Gigapan image from the north press platform during President Obama's inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009. It's made up of 220 images. The original image size is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels. This new version is 56,646 X 27,788 or 1.57 gigapixels.
This is a NEW VERSION of my inauguration gigapan image. This one is being used to make prints as most of the stitching errors from the original have been corrected.
The original version can be seen here:

Nonamer290, Its a nice jpg, but not great... I'm looking for one of Bergman taking this GigaPan and of President Obama... a graphic file where you can easily see both of them... you have to know that there exists such an animal, but we will never see it :) Thanks for the link
Digital Globe took satellite imagery at the same time. You can see the crowd at the capitol, moving vans at the whitehouse, and crowds of people at the washington monument. www.digitalglobe.com/downloads/fea tured_images/dc_inauguration_jan20_2009_dgl.jpg&nb sp;
Thanks for geocoding... now you have something really extraordinary :)
Image has been goecoded. As for liking stitching errors - that's why I left both versions online. But I wanted a "pristine" version also available as a historical document.
Obama's first, pre-election appearance on Gigapan can be viewed here www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 9651I took it while he was campaigning in Clearwater, Florida. It was quite a warmer day. Jason Buchheim (gigapans @ www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?use rid=414)www.odysseyexpeditions.com
But I *like* stitching errors - they are part and parcel of what gigapanography is all about. Consider, for example: www.gigapan.org/searchSnapshotsList .php?keywords=munster.
Please Geocode this so that we can see it in Google Earth... the instructions can be found: www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?use rid=5296You have a wonderful panorama, but by placing it in Google Earth, it becomes spectacular. It Google Earth we will see a curved panorama on a curved surface...

Giardiasis is an infection of the small intestine caused by a tiny parasite called Giardia lamblia.
Giardia; Traveler's diarrhea - giardiasis
The parasite lives in soil, food, and water. It may also be found on surfaces that have come into contact with animal or human waste.
You may become infected if you:
Travelers are at risk for giardiasis throughout the world. Campers and hikers are at risk if they drink untreated water from streams and lakes.
The time between infection and symptoms is 7 - 14 days.
Some people with Giardia have no symptoms.
Diarrhea is the main symptom. Other symptoms include:
Some people who have had Giardia infections for a long time continue having symptoms even after the infection is gone.
Tests that may be done include:
If there are no symptoms or mild symptoms, no treatment may be needed. Some infections go away on their own within a few weeks.
Medicines may be used for:
Most people respond to treatment. A change in antibiotic therapy will be tried if symptoms do not go away. Side effects from some of the medications used to treat this condition include:
In most pregnant women, treatment should wait until after delivery. Some drugs used to treat the infection can be harmful to the unborn baby.
Call your health care provider if:
Purify all stream, pond, river, lake, or well water before drinking it. Use methods such as boiling, filtration, or iodine treatment.
Workers in day care centers or institutions should use good handwashing and hygiene techniques when going from child to child or patient to patient.
Safer sexual practices may decrease the risk of contracting or spreading giardiasis. People practicing anal sex should be especially careful.
Peel or wash fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them.

AMRI offers knowledge and experience through its integrated approach to drug discovery
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies reap the most benefit from their strategic collaborations, by working with suppliers whose practices aim to combine and apply the comprehensive process knowledge that have been gained during research. The integration of chemistry and biology, and other capabilities during early drug discovery, delivers significant value to any company by assembling crucial information that has the potential to shorten time-line and improve outcomes at all stages of the pipeline. Working with contract research and manufacturing organizations that support fully integrated research services, with flexible business options and broad technical expertise, provide the best path towards obtaining the ultimate goal: commercialization.
AMRI continues to ensure that customers have access to the most adept experts to address their complex challenges. Recent investments, including the addition of global medicinal and computational chemistry capabilities in India, complement the company's existing capabilities in the US and Singapore. These investments, when coupled with the relocation of custom library synthesis resources and capabilities to India (from the company's Budapest, Hungary operations), would provide additional flexibility to enhance productivity for AMRI's global drug-discovery operations.
AMRI, which is distinguished as one of the top five CROs in the area of drug discovery and development, is equipped with the experience and problem-solving knowledge that is critical to contributing to successful outcomes. This knowledge stems from the company's integrated approach to drug discovery and development, including capabilities in the areas of in vitro biology, in vitro pharmacology, DMPK, medicinal chemistry, computer-aided drug discovery (CADD), structural biology and screening of both natural products and synthetic compound libraries. The chemistry group at AMRI applies medicinal chemistry to modify the structure of a hit compound, or series of hit compounds, in order to synthesize new molecules with the end goal of discovering compounds that are suitable for progressing into the human clinical trials phase. The biology group's capabilities, which easily integrate with its chemistry services, includes target and biomarker validation; assay development and design; in vitro pharmacology, such as potency, selectivity and mechanism-of-action studies; high-throughput screening (HTS); chemical genomics; in vitro DMPK; in vivo DMPK and in vivo pharmacology.
AMRI uses sophisticated CADD software and techniques to help identify novel hits or leads against selected therapeutic targets, as-well-as to support medicinal chemistry lead optimization programs. CADD methods increase the odds of identifying compounds with desirable characteristics, speed up the hit-to-lead process and improve the chances of propelling a compound over the many hurdles of preclinical testing.
Vast therapeutic strengths and R&D partnering
Since 2001, AMRI has been involved in 175 drug discovery projects resulting in 75 pre-clinical and clinical candidates. Working with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies has led AMRI to gain strength and experience across various therapeutic areas. The following case studies summarizes successful R&D applications and partnering opportunities in the therapeutic areas of anti-infectives, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, metabolic diseases, oncology and inflammation.

Watched Invincible tonight...very good movie if you enjoy the football flicks...even had a shot of former UNC Coach John Bunting's character.
I will probably end up buying this one, its definately worth it for me.

caught the middle of James Bond 007 Live and Let Die. I think this is perhaps one of my all time favorite Bond flicks. Roger Moore, Voodoo, Crocs, beautiful fortune teller, what more could you ask for. also the sheriff in the movie is great.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I went and saw Black Christmas with my little brother. Even the couple of cheap boob shots aren't enough to save this pice of carp...although Michelle Trachtenberg comes close to saving it. Mmmm...
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Watched "Enemy at the Gates" the other night and started rewatching the "Band of Brothers" miniseries yesterday (I'm already up to Part V). Also, I finally saw "Clerks II". While funny, I think I may have expected too much from it.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
What did you think of Enemy at the Gates? I still haven't seen that movie and I always heard mixed things about it. Some people say it is amazing, others say it is awful.Originally Posted by CS1138
BOB is an outstanding show. I've still only seen the complete series once, and that was when it originally aired on HBO. I own the dvd set but have never gotten around to watching the whole thing again, in its entirety... which is something I need to do. After I finish this "World at War" 11 disc dvd colleciton, I'll be revisiting all of my WWII movies and such; and possibly Enemy at the Gates.
Over the past week I watched the first season of "Girls Next Door" on dvd. In case you all are unaware, it is about three of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, Holly, Bridget and Kendra, and what goes on in their lives and Hef's as well. I had never seen this show before, so it was a complete blind buy, and a pretty good one at that. It is actually a pretty good reality tv show. Rather addicting too. I mean, its about three Playboy Playmates, Hef, the Mansion and the awesome parties, etc. What's not to like? Oh yea, and the dvd set is completely uncensored so you get to see all the T&A. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the seasons as they become available on dvd.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
If you're expecting Saving Private Ryan you will be disappointed.
Personally. I think a lot of people didn't like it because it was a WWII movie without the U.S., something we don't typically see.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
I recommend it, UK, but with a small grain of salt (keep in mind that the "facts" of the story are still under lock and key by the Russians). At the very least you get to see Rachel Weisz's booty for a sec.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.

Spencer Henderson: Canopy roads are an iconic feature of rural Florida. These shady paths lined by tall, overlapping trees cut a path through our landscape and our history. An example of a canopy road can be found in Southeast Tallahassee, on Old St. Augustine Road.
Huge moss-draped live oaks, hickory trees and stately pines arch over the two lane road. An enclosed fence extends on each side of the road. Behind it lies active farmland.
This road is essential to the everyday life of farm animals such as cows and horses and wildlife such as raccoons and deer. These animals flock to cool places where they can feed on the vegetation that grows densely here.
And it has been that way for hundreds of years. Old St. Augustine Road dates all the way back to the 1600s. Back then Spanish settlers used this path as a way to go westward from St. Augustine, Fla., through Gainesville, to Tallahassee, ending in Pensacola. St. Augustine Road could be considered the first highway built in Florida. It even predates America! Even before the Europeans traveled here- Indian tribes passed under these ancient trees for centuries.
Since the road was completed in 1820s it has remained relatively unchanged. But with the charm of this historic canopy comes a modern burden. When rain dampens the old branches, the extra weight causes them to break off and block parts of the road. These trees becomes especially hazardous during hurricane season. But the risk of fallen limbs is a small price to pay for the joy of traveling this storied canopy road. It brings a sense of peace to rural life, and gives us a glimpse into the past.

I know some of you don't like Pam Geller, but this a book review. The book is written by one of the parents of one of the SEALS that died in the mission Extortion 17 ... the helicopter attack that killed most of Team 6 that killed Bin Laden.
Now Billy Vaughn (the father of Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn) and U.S. Army Major General (ret.) Paul Vallely have teamed up to write a shocking new book:Betrayed: Exposing the High Cost of the War on Terror(coming in August from Hugo House Publishers). It tells the story of how on August 6, 2011, Taliban jihadists ambushed Extortion 17 as it was transporting American forces to an area where Army Rangers were engaged in a firefight.
The father researched the rules of engagement that are in use in the ME wars. The following refer to items mentioned in the book itself (according to Geller's review)
... disastrous Rules of Engagement place our troops -- like Aaron Vaughn -- in unnecessary danger, and have cost countless American lives. When Extortion 17 was fired on, it wasn't allowed to fire back -- because of the Rules of Engagement.
Our troops in Afghanistan are so restricted in ways that they're not even allowed to fire on the enemy without permission -- which means that the Taliban and al Qaeda can shoot at our soldiers at will and then disappear while our forces are trying to get permission to return fire. And that isn't even the worst of all. The COIN doctrine forbids us to try to vet Afghans who want to work with the military.
The result has been massive infiltration and an ever-growing number of green-on-blue attacks by our supposed "allies" against the American troops who are risking their lives to train them. And the green-on-blue attacks are only one aspect of the infiltration. The Taliban always seem to know what operations our troops are going to undertake.

The Patronato del Diabético in Guatelmala was founded 47 years ago to serve as a diabetes medication bank. It is now an independent organisation that includes diagnostic clinics, a clinical laboratory, nutrition clinics and a pharmacy. We speak with Herbert A. Fernández Townson, President of the organisation about how it is facing-down diabetes challenges in Guatemala.
What challenges do people with diabetes face in Guatemala?
The biggest challenge for diabetes sufferers in Guatemala is the lack of awareness about the disease. In fact, of the more than one million people with diabetes in the country, only about 40% of them know they have diabetes and only 20% are properly treated for the disease.
How does your association deal with those challenges?
Through its services, the Patronato del Diabético reaches approximately 7% of the diabetic population of Guatemala, but our service coverage cannot expand at the same rate as the growth in diabetes because our charges are very low. We even work at an annual financial loss (USD 200,000), which prevents us from increasing the number of service centres and limits the resources for the current operation.
For example, Guatemala has 22 departments, and we only cover 3 of them with 10 service centres. This is due to the lack of resources, as neither the state nor any other organisation provides us with funding to grow at the necessary rate.
Could you share some of your 2012 success stories with us?
In 2012, we managed to organise the First National Diabetics Fair to commemorate World Diabetes Day. Activities were carried out in a busy shopping area of Guatemala City. Five thousands people attended and we offered FREE diabetes consultations, glucose detections, nutrition consultations and osteoporosis detection using a bone densitometer. In addition, we organised a series of educational conferences, with eight national speakers, on issues connected with diabetes prevention and treatment. We also had a stand area for suppliers of products for people with diabetes. Everything received television, press and radio coverage.
What do you intend to do in 2013?
In 2013, we are going to hold 10 mass glucose detection events in several Guatemalan departments. We want to implement a national education programme in schools for the prevention of diabetes. We are going to renegotiate with our local suppliers to bring down the cost of diabetes medication even further, and we are going to hold the Second National Diabetics Fair, this time placing more emphasis on diabetes prevention.
Do you see any changes on the horizon for people with diabetes in Guatemala?
It is hard to envisage any change because there is a great deal of governmental indifference towards diabetes. And, despite the fact that we are proving, day after day, to be the number one option in Guatemala for people with diabetes, we do not believe that we will be able to care for or educate the necessary number of sufferers to halt, by some percentage, the rise in the number of people with diabetes in the short term.
We will also try to increase the number of people we see and treat nationally. We hope that we will be able to have an impact on the long-term reduction of the total number of people with diabetes in Guatemala through the prevention and education plans that we intend to implement.
How does being a member of IDF help you do your work and achieve your objectives?
Being active members of IDF helps to get our image recognised as the most important option for people with diabetes in Guatemala. We are continually strengthening this image through congresses and our physicians are constantly updating their knowledge to support such an important international endorsement.
The constant stream of information that IDF provides enables us to keep up to date and helps us to get a real, frank view of the diabetes situation all around the globe and in Latin America in particular. IDF also offers us support to attend its congress, which allows us to make ourselves known internationally and to see what the global trends in diabetes-related issues are. It would be very interesting if, through IDF, we managed to get some type of financial support for a national education programme.

I was just wondering what figures everyone was wanting to be released in 2002 in the POTJ line, excluding Episode 2 figures. I have three main choices.
1) General Madine - Why have Hasbro never made a resculpt for this? He is one of the coolest characters!
2) General Dodanna - One of the biggest heros of the Rebel Alliance, why has he NEVER been released?
3) Deluxe Han Solo with Torture Device Thing (ESB) - This would be brilliant, and particually if you could make it produce sparks or some sort of light.
What does everyone think of these choices?
What others can people recommend?

J, you watch SOA? For some reason I was thinking you were one of the ones in here who didnt.
This past season of Sons of Anarchy was mind blowing television.
The Opie **** literally had me choking up.
It's easily behind Breaking Bad. I'm partial to Dexter so I'm not ready to put it above that.

In the aftermath (or afterscience) of revealing what they feel is an enlightened approach to cheaters and other, briefly misguided children of god, officials of the Eastern School Board have quietly issued a helpful memo to teachers on ways to implement the new policies.
It was meant to stay strictly within the ranks of teachers, but my source, "Bad Teacher" from English Harbour West, provided me with a copy of the memo, asking only that I never reveal his name.
Aside from the concerns he had of falling victim to long-standing directives from bosses that voicing complaints, no matter how justified, beyond the staff room would prompt reassignment to a shack in Saglek Bay, my source tells me he's even more fearful that Joan Burke herself might be sent to castigate him. And, as he noted, she's a pit bull whose nasty bites were learned at the feet of her one-time master, Dan (Dog Whisperer) Williams, who tolerated not even a twinge of revolution in the ranks of public servants.
An even worse punishment, he said, tongue only half in cheek, would involve being ordered to teach Kathy Dunderdale a civics course on ways to avoid democratic accountability in the legislature.
In any case, I'm exposing here, for the first time, the contents of the confidential note.
TO: Teachers of the Province
RE: "Cheaters Always Prosper"
If a student is caught with crib notes up his or her sleeve or is overheard demanding "What did get for Question 2, Polly?"he or she should be asked politely — politeness being the operative word here in order to avoid possible, subsequent confrontations with parents — to step out into the corridor. (Now that we've gotten the "he or she" out of the politically correct way, we hope no one is offended for the duration of this note if we just use the male pronoun; after all, boys will be boys, as everyone knows, and girls are as pure as the driven snow).
Having made sure no one can eavesdrop, ask for the student's forgiveness for having interrupted his cheating. Better still, rather than use the word "cheating," think of some euphemism; tell the student, for example, that you're immensely sorry for having distracted him as he read notes hidden in his Bible.
Even if the student has been overtly taking advantage of the smartest girl in class, and has forcefully confiscated her test and started to vigorously copy her answers, praise him during your corridor conversation for his aggressiveness, and suggest such an approach will be abundantly helpful in the working world he will eventually enter.
Next, inform the innocent-beyond-all-guilt student that he can go shoot a few hoops in the gym while his classmates finish the test in their foolishly honest way. If time on the basketball court is not to his liking, offer him the use of the television in the principal's office where he can watch a new version of the '50s movie, "Blackboard Jungle," in which a teacher, played by Glenn Ford, apologizes profusely to a student, played by Vic Morrow, for having exposed his arm to Morrow's switchblade.
Make sure you tell the student that he need not feel guilty about the time it will take for you to create a new test for him to take. Just say you'll be honoured to do that on your lunch period or at home in the evening (once you've fed your own four kids, cleaned the house, scooped up the dog poop in the backyard and seen to your spouse's nighttime needs). He just should not worry his little cheatin' heart one iota (OK, watch that sarcasm —delete "cheatin' heart" reference). Also, be sure to let the student know he should not think of the new test as giving him an unfair advantage over his classmates; if they were too stunned to cheat, that's their problem.
Now, if the parents of the student demand to see you about the disgraceful, embarrassing way in which you dragged their child by the hair out into the corridor (their perspective is always accurate), put your tail between your legs and nod like Pavlov's bow-wow every time Mom or Dad makes a point. Just remember: never lose your cool with a parent. They are completely objective when it comes to their Tammy or Timmy; the child can do no wrong, an unabashed opinion Ma and Pa will hold even as they watch their own version of Beaver Cleaver 10 years down the road pulling a hoodie over his head to protect himself from those intrusive "Here and Now" cameras posted outside Courtroom No. 2.
As to handing in assignments late, we wish to offer similar advice. Ask the student, again in the politest of terms, to come outside the classroom. The dialogue should be as follows: "Now, I don't wish to offend you, Tommy, and I definitely do not wish to offend your Mommy and Daddy, and I believe you when you tell me that your dog Tippy ate half your assignment work, and that the fat kid, the one who bothers you at lunchtime, the one who'd gobble down the lamb of God, ate the other half. Don't worry about a thing. We'll sign a contract with a new deadline. And if, if, if, by chance, you accidentally delete that work on your computer as you try and switch to the latest computer game, the one where you play Bruce
Willis and single-handedly free Afghanistan from centuries of enslavement, then we'll just draw up another buddy-buddy contract. That's what it's all about, Tommy, being your buddy."
And, finally, tell the student to ignore cynics in the media who'll suggest these new rules will teach him zilch about responsibility or fair-mindedness or honesty, and will do nothing to prepare him for life beyond Grade 12. Tell him that when he gets to Memorial University there'll be 100 per cent tolerance of cheating. As to the working environment in which he'll eventually find himself, tell the student there's not an employer out there who'll find fault with non-completion of assignments or using a fellow worker's material to get ahead.
Thanks, teachers of the province, for utilizing part of all that free time you have at your disposal to read this note. As is usually the case, we now hand matters over to you, entirely. We, your bosses in the ivory towers of the Eastern School District and the Department of Education, will once again play Pontius Pilate and wash our hands of the entire mess.
Good luck.

text: The unpopular decision to raise tolls on the Maine Turnpike appears to be paying off. The Turnpike Authority reports that in the six months since it increased tolls at some spots along the 106-mile highway, revenue has increased by 16 percent even as the number of cars using the turnpike dropped by 4 percent. The agency has also signed up more than 17,000 new E-ZPass customers, bringing the total to 209,000. From November through April, the turnpike took in $51.7 million in revenue, $7.2 million more than the same period the previous year. It needs to raise $14 million in the next six months to meet expenses. Turnpike officials tell The Portland Press Herald, they expect to meet that goal, given that revenue traditionally increases during tourist season.

Michael & Mary Dan Eades, M.D.Michael R. Eades was born in Springfield, Missouri on June 19, 1947. He received his BSCE degree in Civil Engineering from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Pamona, California in 1970 and his MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) in 1979. After completing training in General Surgery as UAMS, Dr. Eades (along with his wife) founded Medi-Stat Medical Clinics, a chain of general family medicine outpatient care centers in central Arkansas, where he practiced general family medicine for over a decade.
In 1989, Dr. Eades wrote Thin So Fast (Warner Books), a health and nutrition book detailing how to safely undertake a modified protein sparing fast (such as Oprah Winfrey had used to lose her famous 67 pounds of fat) at home, with minimal expense.
Mary Dan Eades was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas (across the street from former President Bill Clinton) on November 14, 1953. She received her BS in Life Sciences Chemistry/Biology magna cum laude from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1977 and her MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) in 1981. After completing her internship at St. Vincent Infirmary/UAMS in 1982, she joined her husband in developing and operating their Medi-Stat Medical Clinic chain, practicing general family medicine in Little Rock, Arkansas for the next decade.
In 1990, Dr. Eades wrote her first health books for the layman, If It Runs In Your Family: Breast Cancer and If It Runs In Your Family: Arthritis (Bantam). These were followed by: Freeing Someone You Love From Eating Disorders (Putnam) and The Doctor's Complete Guide to Vitamins and Minerals (Dell). The last listing is still in print.
The Drs. Eades
As writing, lecturing and researching became more and more the focus of their professional careers, the Drs. Eades sold the Medi-Stat Medical Clinic chain in 1991 and left general practice. Since that time, they have focused their professional energies solely on bariatric medicine and nutrition, pioneering the field of metabolic medicine, first with the creation of the Arkansas Center for Health and Weight Control in Little Rock, Arkansas, then subsequently founding the Colorado Center for Metabolic Medicine in Boulder, Colorado.
In 1996, their first joint book project debuted in Protein Power (Bantam), which became a national and international bestseller, selling over 3 million copies and spending 63 weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List. Foreign language rights for Protein Power have now been granted for British (English language for the UK), Hebrew, Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian and Spanish.
The success for Protein Power spawned a best-selling informational product (tapes and workbooks) that brought their nutritional message to another million people in America and abroad.
They followed this venture with the Protein Power Lifeplan (Warner, 2000) a comprehensive lifestyle treatise based upon their nutritional regimen, but exploring a broad range of metabolic topics related to it.
The Drs. Eades have appeared as guest experts on hundreds of radio and television shows across the country. Their work has been featured regionally and nationally on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC and seen in such publications as Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today.
