Nanotech medicines being held up by a lack of particle characterization
Nanotechnology has invaded the world of biomedicine over the past decade, with scientists increasingly using nanoparticles as potential vehicles for delivering drugs to specific tissues.
Yet the particles are often so poorly understood that their chances of making it off the laboratory bench and into the clinic are being damaged, experts warned at the first international workshop on nanotech medicines held by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in London earlier this month. They say there is too little rigorous measurement of the particles' basic properties, such as size, shape and surface area. "Characterization is the biggest challenge to this field," Simon Holland, director of process understanding and control at pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), headquartered in London, told the conference.
Nanomedicine draws on both biology and materials science, but communication between the two fields has not always been good enough. "In the earlier days, the communities that characterized and the communities that did the cell biology were very different," says Kenneth Dawson, a chemist at University College Dublin and director of Ireland's Centre for BioNano Interactions. The situation is slowly improving, he adds at least for 'pristine' nanoparticles in the laboratory.
But in the messy biological system of the bloodstream or the cell, the precise form of the nanoparticles is often something of a black box. "Everybody accepts that as an academic community we haven't been characterizing enough," says Dawson. "In the absence of that you'll never get a drug approval licence."
The EMA, which serves a regulatory function similar to that of the US Food and Drug Administration, has approved 18 nanomedicine products so far, most of which are very simple, says Dawson. For example, medicinal liposomes tiny droplets of a drug encased in lipids are temporary assemblages that are designed to break apart in the body.
But smarter nanomedicines with more complex properties are in the pipeline. Liposomes might be coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules to prevent them from coagulating, for example. The liposomes' ability to deliver a drug will then depend on how many PEG chains there are per particle, and what proportion of those chains are linked to each other. Without characterization of these details, explains Dawson, there would be no way to determine whether a nanomedicine fails a clinical trial because the drug itself is ineffective, or because its carrier is coagulating too much.
Sizing up nanoparticles, even in their pristine state, can prove a problem. Holland noted that in a recent GSK project, the size of drug particles was measured by laser diffraction. But whereas one method of analysing the data gave a median particle size of 740 nanometres, an alternative approach indicated 130 nanometres. Such a large difference could drastically alter drug activity, and there would be no way of pursuing a drug approval application until it was resolved, says Dawson.
As funding pours into the field (see 'A small revolution') attempts are under way in both Europe and the United States to characterize nanoparticles in biological systems. One such problem is that nanoparticles aggregate proteins at their surfaces to form 'protein coronas', which can drastically affect their behaviour. Jim Riviere, director of the Center for Chemical Toxicology Research and Pharmacokinetics at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and his colleagues recently proposed a biological surface adsorption index that would characterize the corona on the basis of a range of factors, including the distribution of electrons in the nanoparticles, proteins and solvent (X.-R. Xia, N. A. Monteiro-Riviere and J. E. Riviere Nature Nanotechnol. 5, 671675; 2010). "I personally think we really can't understand a lot about the biological fate of these materials until we develop and validate metrics that actually correlate to biological fate," says Riviere.
Riviere's approach just tackles one of many issues, however. "This is a fiercely debated topic these days," says Justin Teeguarden, a senior scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. "Asking for a gold standard for the community right now is like asking microbiologists what the gold standard for characterizing bacteria should be a few years after microscopes became available."

Phone Finder App for S3?
I've been testing a few phone finder type apps on my S3, but can't find anything that works. If you text certain words, they are supposed to either start the phone ringing or send you back the phone's GPS location. I've tried "Find My Phone" and "Where's My Droid." Neither works with text messages sent from Google talk or from another cellular phone. "Where's My Droid" has a web site with a "Commander" function that lets you communicate with your phone. That is a bit slow, but it does work. It will make the phone ring and will bring up its location on Google Maps.
Does anyone have a solution for making these apps work with texting, or have you tried other apps that work on the S3?
I'm using an ATT S3 phone. Thanks.

Battleship Cathy
Battleship Cathy is on a mission to find a romantic partner in a casual social setting!
4.54 / 5.00 25,232 ViewsSimple and nice game for kids. Choose your wild pet and feed it with carrots and bread as it grows. (age 6-12).
Not the best game i have played. Could be A LOT more realistic. The grapics were good and way nice when the eyes move. BUT feed carrots and bread to animals, CARNIVORES? And feeding a lion carrots and bread is just about the whole game. It would be a nice game for 3+.
I think even a little kid would know that carrots and bread aren't good foods to give to a LION. And maybe 2 of the other pets can eat carrots. at least give the animals SLIGHTLY more realistic foods. Bread? Really? *facedesk*
This game is obviously not for me. The game is also a little creepy and i didnt got the main point of it, its just to grab the food and give it to the pet? Dont you think you are underestimating the kids inteligence?

Adecade before 9/11, the worldwide surge in Islamic fundamentalism and its virulent hatred of the West was largely unrecognized in America. We did not notice when some of the most prominent radicals moved to this country and set up operations just across the river from the World Trade Center. Those early militants, ignored in their new chosen homeland, would become the role models and inspiration for some of the World Trade Center and Pentagon hijackers in 2001.
Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue is only thirty minutes away by the Number 4 train from the World Trade Center. Before September 11, a nearby waterfront promenade offered postcard views of the twin towers. But these two New York neighborhoods might as well be different countries. The sterile and overbuilt financial center on the tip of Manhattan that was rendered into a giant open-air cemetery covered by tons of twisted debris is quintessentially American. The mile stretch of Brooklyn seems a much closer cousin to downtown Cairo than Wall Street. It is a neighborhood overcrowded with the city's densest concentration of Arabs.
If someone just arrived from Lebanon or Syria, they might feel at home along those gritty and packed streets. Many Muslims, in traditional robe and turban, crowd near the Islamic community centers and bookshops, Middle Eastern restaurants, grocery stores and bakeries, smoke shops, translation services, and hairdressers. Some men gather in small groups at outdoor cafés, sipping minted tea and smoking from bubbling hookahs, large, standing water pipes filled with fruit- and herb-infused tobacco. Women in layered skirts and head-covering scarves, babies in tow, walk several paces behind the men. Quavering Arab music blares from several record stores. On Fridays, the Muslim day of prayer, when the mosques fill, overflow crowds by the hundreds throw down small prayer rugs on the sidewalk and prostrate themselves toward Mecca.
The mosques range from lavish Ottoman-style buildings to basements of car service garages. But the best known house of worship is Masjid al-Farooq, located on several floors of a run-down commercial building. The second-floor sanctuary is bathed in a soft light, tinted green from jade-colored walls and worn purple-and-emerald-colored carpet. Worshipers line up shoulder to shoulder, creating human stripes across the carpet, all facing Mecca and praying. Incense sticks resting in cracks in the plaster walls fill the room with a sweet smell. Racks along the back wall hold a collection of workingmen's shoes: Nike sneakers, paint-spattered construction boots, worn-out wing tips, scuffed thick-soled shoes of civil servants. Among the crowd of émigrés are African-Americans, young men with knitted skullcaps or baseball caps turned backward.
The imam, the mosque's prayer leader, stands in a simple brown robe behind a plain wooden lectern, reading verses from the Koran. Many of the faithful-men in their twenties from Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and the West Bank-gather in the hallway after the service. They trade information about jobs at cab companies and at construction sites, and pass along tips on cheap rooms for rent and religious activities for Arabic-speaking newcomers. Some discuss the attack on the World Trade Center three days ago, but when they see a stranger approach, they revert to Arabic.
This Arab mecca in the heart of New York is not a recent phenomenon. The migration had started in the early 1900s as Arabs fled persecution in the Ottoman Empire. Some set up shop not far from their stop at Ellis Island-on Manhattan's Washington Street and Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue. In the 1930s, and again after World War II, there were waves of new immigrants. Manhattan's high prices drove most newcomers to Brooklyn. "This area is known as an Arab enclave throughout the world," boasts Sam Moustapha, a co-owner of the family-run Oriental Pastry and Grocery Company.
It is a neighborhood where Arabs are not timid about embracing political sentiments that often seem continents removed from nearby Manhattan. Many of the local businesses have long displayed prominent anti-Israeli, pro-intifada signs and banners. Even in the immediate wake of 9/11, a flyer posted outside al-Qaraween's Islamic bookstore, next to a mosque, declared, "Allah is great-may justice come to the infidels." At the nearby Fertile Crescent, a Middle Eastern market, pictures of Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon were stamped over with the crosshairs of a sniper's rifle scope.
A small convenience store had a half dozen posters plastered on the wall behind the counter. They were grainy black-and-white blowups of young men, all holding weapons, wearing kaffiyehs wrapped around their heads and covering their faces like Bedouins in a sandstorm. All that was visible were the intense stares of angry young Arab militants that Americans have now come to know too well. Arabic writing was scrawled on the posters. They were tributes to suicide bombers. Each of the men on the wall had blown himself apart in a terror attack against Israel. When asked about the posters and why they were on display, only miles from where thousands of Americans and foreigners lay dead from a suicide mission, the clerk pretended he did not speak English. More questions were answered only with grunts and dismissive waves.

Private Homes, Mountain Base house description
Hello, we are Robin and John Hanley and we would like to welcome you to Steamboat Springs! Originally from upstate NY, we moved to Chicago for 15 years before visiting Steamboat and subsequently moving here 15 years ago. While on a business trip to Romania, John was quite taken with the Romanian people and the plight of their economy. He discovered the best way to help them was to hire them for their crafts. Therefore, this property has been finished using Romanian marble, European cherry wood and wrought iron all hand crafted by individual people and villages.
The property is located just under the gondola on Ski Trail Lane. Our heated, back staircase leads you down from the house to only cross the street and ski out to the base of the mountain. Ski-in is just as simple.
The Gondola Suite is connected to our main residence. Upon your arrival the unit will be clean and stocked with plenty of towels for your use. You are provided with a key to your own front door and the unit is again cleaned after your departure. Black Bear Studio, with queen bed, bathroom and kitchenette is detached and available for additional charge. We allow dogs upon approval.

This was our second stay in the pet-friendly Gondola Suite, the first visit was Memorial Day 2010. Our objective was to escape the Texas heat in August - Mission accomplished! The Gondola Suite is conveniently located on the ski mountain and is very homey, comfortable and beautiful with marble finishes throughout. The photos and listing description were accurate, the suite was spotless and well maintained. We enjoyed walking with our dog down to gondola square every morning to buy a newspaper and let her play in the water garden. She got along great with Robin and John's dogs as well - especially sweet Nala. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch reading, relaxing and taking in the mountain views and using the outdoor barbeque grill in the evenings. Robin and John are the most gracious and accommodating hosts and responded to all inquiries promptly. Robin even contacted her veterinarian on her own when our dog needed a prescription refilled. Highly recommend hiking Mr. Werner, Fish Creek Falls, Mad Creek, and the trail between US 40 & the river. My husband liked playing golf at Haymaker - Rollingstone Ranch was extremely challenging. Good restaurants we tried were Carl's Tavern downtown for casual fare, Rio Grande downtown for excellent shrimp fajitas and margaritas, Fiesta Jalisco near City Market and Three Peaks Grille. Also had Sunday brunch at mid-mountain restaurant - the scenery is divine, however, the food only mediocre. I would highly recommend a vacation in the Gondola Suite or one of the other units Robin and John have on the premises.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

our stay with robin and john was truly a perfect experience from the first time i touched base with robin all the way through to our final goodbye with their awesome and incredibly friendly nala! the place itself is gorgeous! from the romanian marble throughout to the top tier appliances, the flatscreens, the fireplaces, the bath, the views from the master suite of the gondola/mountain and skiers going by etc. and dont be concerned that the suites are attached to her house, there is still plenty of privacy. she was incredibly accomodating, having no problems with our 11yr old or two big dogs. the location is fantastic! cross the street, a 1 min walk down a path and down to the gondola you go! we stayed for 3 nights, and when leaving all we could think about is when we'd be able to come back not only to steamboat, but more specifically, back to the gondola suite with robin and john! xmas 2011 will never be forgotten, literally because of the kindness and generosity of two truly good, awesome people!!! i cant imagine a stay anywhere else would even come close to comparing! highly highly highly recommended!Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Bella Has Been Found!
Bella disappeared from her home over the weekend, but thanks to a coordinated effort, has been returned to her family.
Thanks to some concerned people, Bella has been found, and is home recovering with her family.
Bella was found at Harrington Farms, thanks to a young girl who lives there and found a contact number on Craigslist.
"My daughter Diane and her husband Roy went and got Bella at 9:30 this evening," said Patty Erickson. "Shrewsbury is a wonderful town, and thanks to the girl and her dad, Bella is safely home.Both Roo and Bella are home because of some kind and caring people. Bella was about three miles from home. Diane called, then Roy whistled, and they heard Bella cry. She was very, very happy to see them."

So happy for the family and kudos to those that were involved in the rescue. Nice to see a good ending to this type of story! There have been a lot of fliers going up for a missing cat near Francis Ave in Shrewsbury, so let's get that family a happy ending too.

Sibad, Patrick Sean Mannion, BellaBea, and 33 other people added this photo to their favorites.
One of the all time greats. This carefully staged 'snap' by Bert Hardy was taken on the promenade at Blackpool in the 1940s (see the little figures on the beach), as a challenge using a Box Brownie after Hardy had written an article for amateur photographers suggesting you didn't need an expensive camera to make good pictures.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Hardy -
gread pic. so natural despite the setup. this is what mags like vice etc. do all the time now but this guy was doing it 60 years ago.
so true about the equipment thing - it's all about the person that's using it.
that is extremely Good:)
Congratulations! from
*★ Beautiful Shot ★ -
Bert Hardy's biography:
Fascinating -
The girl in the polka dot dress is Pat Stewart
Fontilan. did you seek permission for this plagerism?
I think the photograph later appeared in one of Kodak's 'How To Make Good Pictures' books. I remember reading that Hardy kept within the box camera category but used a Zeiss Box Tengor. I think a Portrait Brownie at f22 could manage this standard but not all of the frames taken that day. I recently bought such a Brownie loaded with a half used film so it will be interesting to finish the roll in very bright light [to aid the old film and try for f22] and see the earlier shots and 'the Hardy challenge' develop.
Of course it is great, the "perfect moment" with a vivacious and pretty subject and wonderful spontaneity, the facial expression plus the dress. It is also perfectly lit and composed and expressly set up to combat the (severe) limitations of the camera - just because a great professional can use a Brownie or a phone camera to make a great picture doesn't mean we all necessarily should.
Many years ago in Amateur Photographer magazine I read that Mr Hardy used a Zeiss Box Tengor to take this image. I wonder if the type of camera used was ever mentioned when the image was published?

The yield on Italy's 10-year government bond shot up to 4.43 percent from 4.12 percent early in the day, a sign that investors' confidence in the government was dimming quickly.
In the U.S., some analysts say the stock market had gotten ahead of itself with a strong rally since the start of the year. The news from Italy gave investors a reason to sell. Even after today's sell-off the Dow is still up 5.2 percent for the year and the S&P 500 is 4.3 percent higher.
"The market is extremely overbought, it's been overbought since the beginning of this year," says Lance Roberts, chief economist at Streettalk Advisors in Houston, Texas.
US Bank Wealth Management's Russell says many investors were already jittery because the big jump in stocks. Now they have two reasons to sell: Italy, and the automatic budget cuts set to take effect Friday if lawmakers do not hammer out a debt-reduction deal.
"Markets have probably gone up too far, too fast," Russell says. "They were due for pause."
European stocks gave back much of their early gains. Benchmark indexes rose 0.4 percent in France, 1.5 percent in Germany and 0.8 percent in Spain.
Britain's index was up just 0.3 percent after Moody's stripped the country late Friday of its triple-A credit rating.

A late afternoon departure provides us with privacy and tranquility as we enjoy the river's magical beauty. This is a wonderfully romantic float for couples.
Your tour begins with a scenic two hour float surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the many plants and animals that inhabit the river bottom. Early evening is one of the best times to observe the larger mammals; elk, moose and deer as they come out to forage as the sun begins to go down. It's also a good time to see beavers and river otters, who usually hide out when the sun is high in the sky. Eagles and osprey are also very active, taking advantage of the suns' lower angle to swoop down on unsuspecting fish and small mammals. After you arrive at camp, you'll be served appetizers and beverages
in a spectacular spring creek setting, a scenic drive back to your pickup location completes the trip.
We are not licensed to sell alcoholic beverages but guests may provide their own.

The story about the bakery:
Owned and operated by the Ypsi Food Co-op, the River Street Bakery is dedicated to producing world-class artisan breads and baked goods while upholding and strengthening the values of a cooperative endeavor. We bake in a wood-fired brick oven, using renewable energy. We make our bread in small batches – 40 to 50 loaves at a time. Our loaves have a crispy, chewy crust that wraps around a moist honeycombed crumb with unparalleled wholesome flavors.
All of River Street Bakery's breads (and cookies, pies, granola, etc…) are baked with 100% organic flour. All River Street breads are sourdough started. Our breads develop their rich flavors via slow fermentation at cool temperatures. We also make use of overnight soaks that extract full flavors from grain like flax seed and rye flakes. Every loaf is shaped with care, by hand.
At River Street Bakery, we like to explore the wide range of sourdough expression; that's why we maintain a number of different cultures. Each works differently with organic flours, putting their own kind of "sour" into the bread. Only a few select varieties have sweeteners or oils added…. we like to keep them lean. To borrow a French winemakers' term, Michigan-grown flour, fermented by Ypsi-specific cultures, is an expression of terroir. This place. Here.

In Response to Getting on with my life by bubbles1057
My loss of my 91 year old mother was March 7, 2010. I try not to think of the loss at times as don't want to start crying in inopportune places. I go to her house and am businesslike, not thinking of the 60 years of memories and the ultimate fate of the house and land. Luckily I have two sisters and one brother but I live 5 minutes away and they are 3/4, 1 hour and across the country. It is just hard but I know everyone knows this. The situation cannot be changed but I can do smething about the way I react to it.

- Studio: Wellspring Media
- Release Date: Jul 9, 2003
- Starring: Flavio Bauraqui, Lázaro Ramos, Marcelia Cartaxo
- Summary: Legendary criminal. Proud homosexual. Cabaret star. Passionate lover. Killer. Devoted father of seven adopted children. Saint or devil? Madame Satã. (Wellspring Media)
- Director: Karim Ainouz
- Genre(s): Biography, Drama, Crime, Music
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 10 out of 17
Mixed: 6 out of 17
Negative: 1 out of 17
It can feel a bit slight and, given the epic sweep of its subject's life, somewhat underplotted. But there's no denying the incendiary power of Ramos's performance -- he's present in nearly every scene. The movie is as much the story of his transformation into Madame Satã as it is João Francisco's.
Whether or not Ainouz's stylish directorial debut gets to the "real" Madame Satã is beside the point, but as a celebration of a figure who fashioned his own identity from pieces of pop culture and street poetry, from song and fashion and fury, it's memorable.
An intensely realized, beautifully shot drama.
In this vibrant character study, newcomer Lázaro Ramos plays Francisco with an almost animal intensity.
No-nonsense critiques of Brazil's endemic poverty and deeply flawed criminal-justice system lend substance to what otherwise might have seemed a flimsy and sensationalistic tale.
The movie covers only the early years of his (Joao Francisco dos Santos) rise to fame and apparently enduring legend, but the camera never pulls back to provide a social or historical context.
Contains much abuse and brutality, an annoying celebratory air of pimp-chic and enough explicit gay sex scenes to qualify as (very tepid) soft-core porn.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1

This ain't your Grandma's assisted living! It's Pelican Roost, a retirement community of characters like Naomi Lipshitz-Yamamoto-Murphy. She says, "It's a lot like a cruise, except the final destination is not The Bahamas." She's friends with the dozen-and-a-half residents played by the two actors. You'll be flimflammed by a retired TV lawyer; you'll meet Ben Younger, a former Catskills comic who experiments with yoga; you'll learn that seniors are tech-savvy about Internet dating in email@example.com.
Assisted Living: The Musical® has earned standing ovations from California to New York,
from Philadelphia to Miami. The San Francisco Examiner says it's "Wickedly funny." The Naples Daily News calls it "Hilarious." Regardless of your age, you'll love it too.
Note: In South Florida, Compton & Bennett, the show's authors, perform the show.
Been to a flea market? Not those weekend, temporary things, but permanent ones selling everything from home paternity tests to autographed pictures of Jesus? Where everything is real as you believe it to be?
The vendors here put the fun in dysfunction. Part carnie, part clerk, and all heart, they convolute their way through life with answers that can't work but somehow do. Like hairdresser Earlene, whose wigs are "100% locally grown. "I swept up every strand myself", Ariel, who is there because of an itinerant mime and a PA announcer who turns adversities into ads. You'll play FleaBingo.
Chris Silk, the Naples Daily News reviewer said he laughed so hard, he snorted his drink out of his nose. Florida Weekly calls it "brilliant buffoonery." Actual flea market vendors have roared, and then looked around with chagrin, as they recognize themselves.
Whether you've been to flea market or not, FleaBitten shows the sordid, silly side of what really goes on behind the bargains.

"When we look like Miami, and feel like Saigon, thank Donna and Georgia, Tim, Freddy and Tom,"
sing Compton and Bennett about the Collier County Commission.
Seltzer Pants
is the working title of Rick and Betsy's skewer-ful of local meat. The entire name,
A Little Song, A Little Dance, A Little Seltzer in Your Pants
, is admittedly too long for some attention spans.
In Compton & Bennett's
Seltzer Pants
, snowbirds take the opening hit. US Congressman Trey Radel learns "There Ain't No Coke In Rehab". You will learn the magic words to help you survive hurricanes and other big blows. You will wonder if it may be a little too soon for a Michael Jackson song (it's not).
Off the road for the local season, Compton & Bennett have been playing their
Assisted Living: The Musical
around the country for anyone who has ever considered aging. The show is enjoying standing-Os from Sedona to the St. Lawrence Seaway, and every restored vaudeville theatre in between that will have it.

All Major League teams are back in action with 15 games across the country on Tuesday night. If you need some help in the pitching department, there's some solid options out there on the waiver wire. Here's four starters that I think will do well in favorable matchups and owned in less than half of ESPN leagues.
The Pitching Pickups
Travis Wood – CHC: (17.0% ownership in ESPN leagues) Wood is on a run of seven consecutive starts with three earned runs allowed or fewer. In his ten starts, only twice has he left after five innings compiling a 4-3 record and a 3.05 ERA. He has a .208 BAA and a 1.13 WHIP and has won his last four starts in a row. He and the Cubs welcome the Marlins to Wrigley and he'll match up with Anibal Sanchez who has struggled as of late. Wood has not faced Miami yet this year and may not be an elite strikeout option (42 in 62 innings), but he is the bbest option owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues going Tuesday.
Bartolo Colon – Oak: (15.7%) In his two starts since returning from the DL Colon has gone 14.2 innings and allowed just two earned runs. He's 6-7 on the year with a 3.80 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. He has a tough matchup as the A's welcome the Rangers to town, but on June 6 he shut out Texas in Oakland for eight innings. Colon attacks the strike zone and makes crafty pitches when he needs to. The Rangers lineup is scary, but I don't think they'll shell him. Meanwhile they'll send Roy Oswalt and his 6.26 ERA to the hill against a hot A's lineup. I like the A's to get Colon his seventh win of the season in this one.
Trevor Bauer - Ari: (40.0%) Bauer is more of a long-term pickup than a spot starter since he's going Tuesday at Coors Field which is always nerve-racking. He was crushed in his first tow MLB starts earlier this season but his last time out looked fantastic while shutting out the Dodgers for six innings allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out six. His long-term potential is incredible, but he is on a fairly tight pitch-limit for this season. He showed in his last start he can pitch at this level and will face the Rockies looking for his second win of the year.
Joe Kelly – StL: (3.6%) Kelly has been a solid addition to the Cards rotation in his six starts so far for the Big League club. He has a 1-1 record but a solid 2.70 ERA. He hasn't gone deep into a game yet but has pitched six innings in each of his last four starts allowing three earned runs or fewer each time. His last start before the break he allowed just one unearned run and a season-low two hits while striking out five against the Marlins. He'll face the Brewers Tuesday as the NL Central division-rivals face off in game two of their three game set. He'll be opposed by veteran Randy Wolf who is 2-6 on the year.
The Payoff
Our second-half picks started with mixed results Sunday. Carlos Villanueva was lights out, but Drew Pomeranz and Ricky Nolasco didn't last very long. Here's our results from Sunday and our picks for Monday:
Starter | Date | IP | ER | K | H | BB | W | L | ||
Jason Vargas | 16-Jul | |||||||||
Chris Tillman | 16-Jul | |||||||||
Jeff Karstens | 16-Jul | |||||||||

As Sigmund Freud supposedly once said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." And if you're a black woman, sometimes hair is just hair-not a political statement, or a clarion call about one's identity, or anything else but the stuff that grows out of your scalp. Except, of course, when it's not, as the New York Times recently pointed out. Chris Rock's upcoming documentary, Good Hair (in theaters in October), explores the black hair business and the money to be made from women who want straight hair at all costs.
Tyra Banks makes a statement without her weave.
"I knew it [the black hair business] was big, but I didn't know it was bigger than the music business," Rock told us (wow, neither did we). "I mean there's a lot of stuff that we just didn't have time to show. The wealth, the real I'm talking real people with their own 757's and jets-wealth that they acquired from working in the hair business." It begs the question: Do you think black women have any more complicated a relationship with their hair than other women? Or do we all just hate our hair?

Hey,Where is he?
Hmm... No longer at Caneris?
Looks like it if this is his Twitter. »twitter.com/levinson0
sorry to see you leave Eric
That might explain why he hasn't answered any MLPPP-related e-mails for ages.--Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org
It's too bad he didn't say goodbye or so-long soo sad.--"Recognize, Realize, Recover and Repent"
That might explain why he hasn't answered any MLPPP-related e-mails for ages.
I don't know, all I can say is that OpenWRT/MLPPP, which is rather buggy, hasn't seen an update in over a year. And since our plan was to transition Tomato/MLPPP development to them, there is basically nobody currently working on any MLPPP projects.--Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org
well to be fair, demand for MLPPP has probably dived down to near zero... throttling is gone, so no need for single link, and higher speed dsl is available, so is tpia cable in most of the areas....MLPPP was great and served a great purpose...
Yeah, people like me who are bonding together multiple 25 meg DSL lines are probably pretty rare.--Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org
Hi,I appreciate everyone's interest and I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye here. While I miss DSLR, there's not much that I can contribute in a meaningful way now due to not being in the industry.It's been a very challenging year both personally and professionally. Over a year ago I've left Caneris and telecom unofficially and this summer I formally resigned as Director and CTO and parted with my shares. Caneris remains in good hands with Erjon.Now I work in a similar technical leadership role in the SaaS world (at Uberflip), which is pretty exciting!BTW, not sure to which e-mails Guspaz is referring as I still have forwarding of my @caneris.com e-mail.Erik
The last one that I didn't get a reply to was in February, but there were a few earlier than that where discussions died waiting for additional information. I'm not trying to be accusatory or anything, it was just meant as an "Oh, I guess that explains it." kind of thing.--Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org

After using this program over the last few months, I have discovered a few different features that I like and dislike about the program.
- Signup is fast and easy. I was able to do so in less than 10 minutes.
- I liked being able to instantly view my credit score from Experian for FREE! I have paid as much as $14.95 for credit reports, so this is a great freebie.

- The site did not show my real time credit balance. These numbers may be as much as 30 days off, based on when your credit card companies report their numbers.
It is worth taking a look at Credit Sesame if you wish to improve your finances and save money while doing so. You are under no obligation to stay a member if it does not meet your needs and can cancel at any time. Have you used Credit Sesame? What did you think?

by Jacqueline B. Sallade, Ed.D.
Children who are mentally retarded, even mildly so, are thinking and usually using language at a level much lower than would be expected for their age. There are so many areas of thought, including reasoning, memory, and flexibility, that it takes a psychologist to diagnose mental retardation. Still, a valid clue would be that the child is talking, acting, and, based on the child's responses, consistently thinking like a younger child, despite not having been seriously overprotected.
Mistakenly assuming a child is "retarded" may occur when an adult judges from a child's lack of communication that the child does not understand. The child just may be stubborn, shy, or have trouble with language expression specifically. School performance is also not necessarily indicative of a cognitive problem. For example, a child's low grades may be due to inattention in class, which may or may not be a symptom of emotional distress. Furthermore, while thinking slowly is a characteristic of the mentally retarded, it may also be true of the non-retarded. The difference is that the non-retarded child learns and understands more complicated ideas.Talk to someone who can help.

what inspires you to become a good person?
.. and what does it really means to be a "good person" according to your thoughts and experiences?
inspiration society
Sep 9 2011: I am sure that there are no bad people.
Everyone will do what is best or what they know is appreciated. Yet there's a lot of ignorance around but as one knows better s/he does better.
Some people are distorted or confused by other people and behave unnatural. They need our compassion and love to restore what others have distorted. -
Sep 13 2011: Frans, I wish that I could say that I saw the world as you do but I see at least bad actions all over the place. In my MA in Psychology, I studied psychopaths as I was working to figure out some truth technologies and who defeats them. To me, these individuals demonstrate what evil is: self absorption to the extent that only one's own needs and pleasures have any relevance to one self. They are something like human black holes sucking in all light and energy and even matter. It is definitely not certain that psychopaths/sociopaths are created by the actions of any other person (although in some cases it has been documented to contribute to the problem). One thing that must NEVER be underestimated is their intelligence along with their amazing ability to manipulate others emotionally and with deception. While they often report having been treated badly as children there is growing evidence that they are able to feed researchers what they want to hear.
Thus, I think goodness is the ability to invest your own light and energy into the lives of others for their benefit.-
Sep 13 2011: Yes Debra,
I understand your reaction very well. Yet it doesn't change my view in that every person is born to be good. If not so, our species shouldn't have survived the ages. Our needs and behavior are designed to live within groups of largely family members with a limit up to around 40 people. I don't think I need to explain all this to you but the point is that if these needs aren't met the natural state of feeling good is distorted. This gives cause to much inner conflict with people in modern society and most of all as they grow into adulthood. This fact is utterly neglected in the way society is organized.
I've seen many bad things in my life but maybe close enough to see the origin of it also. My answers on the question of Gisela can tell you more about this part.
Further there are mental disorders and drugs addicts that need help but by lack of it have developed their own strategies to survive. A friend of my just told me that she worked with drug addicts to kick off and re-socialize. She gave the same description as you did and couldn't cope with it much longer. At first sight they aren't human anymore but in reality they lost contact with it. And without help they die. Those that conquer their addictions are often engaged, compassionate people that contribute in helping others to get clean.
Sep 15 2011: Hi Frans I agree your statement on education and knowledge makes people act better. But there are still bad people who have a perfect training record and all means of cultural background around them while they still act selfishly and irresponsibly to others. I am not sure if they do those things on purpose but they give irreversible harms to society.
Sep 15 2011: What you say is true but absorbing knowledge isn't the same as learning. If you can memorize all phonebooks of the world it doesn't make you necessarily better. Another thing is knowledge of self. If someone was hurt before s/he learned to cope with it emotionally the tendency may arise to hurt others for it.
So knowing better is foremost to know yourself.
Sep 7 2011: What inspires me to be a good person....
The heart and mind of an individual and the experience that comes with it inspires the intentions which determine the actions of a person.
I personally believe to be a good person yet then we can question good in itself ? Can you be good and still make a wrong decision does that decrease how good you are as a person?
Our actions and us as a person is very close connected.
Your surroundings, your footsteps and what you see hear or say or do might still to you mean your good because of what you think of yourself? but then we question what do other think of you?
I think what inspires us to be good is the motivation and ambitious and meeting people with beautiful hearts and wonderful minds. Which enables us to be just the same..
" treat others as how you want to be treated" if they treat you less then still love them and leave a door open for change.
I have had a ruff experience in life and it did not change me or stop me from being myself and still being part of a society/community and taking active participation in attempt to create a better world.
I met people who have a beautiful heart and I actually believe deep down there good people but there actions determine otherwise to those people though.. I can in my opinion say that due to limitation of jobs, addiction and what the system has made available for them to access I think they put aside who they are as person and decide to " bad things" in order to survive which is the sad trap to your question. But I believe to be optimistic and there is always a uturn to make a better person of yourself.. xx
What a wonderful conversation.
Thank you, you really made me reflect xx -
Sep 6 2011: I think a good person is someone who has respect for another human being. I think everything else after that are just labels, and the way we interpret them and our beliefs, as a society, is just a way to separate people into two main categories, good and bad.
What inspires me to be a good person is being conscious about my actions, and also surrounding myself with other good people. -
Sep 6 2011: Las personas no nacemos buenas ni malas, nacemos con estructuras biologicas (redes neuronales) destinadas a permitirnos a desarrollar una vida, gracias a nuestra plasticidad cerebral, podemos adoptarnos a unos modelos eticos adaptados por la sociedad, lo que nos denominaria como "buenas personas" o "malas personas". Te recomiendo que mieres en ted.com sobre Philip Zimbardo.
Sep 6 2011: Siempre hay personas que son buenas y malas otras mas que otras, por esa razon mi pregunta es cuales son las cosas que te inspiran a querer ser una buena persona? por que todos tenemos la opcion de ser malos o buenos, por eso hay gente mala que tienen que ser castigados por sus acciones, entonces lo que me estas tratando de decir es que la gente es buena por adaptarse a la sociedad y que no hay inspacion alguna que nos conduzca a tal comportamiendo? :) .. Gracias por tu recomendacion acerca de Philip Zimbardo, y siento que tu respuesta es muy interestante gracias :)
Sep 13 2011: For me it is a decision. I look and I see all the good people working hard to make a difference or even to just get by in life and I decided long ago never to put my abilities and talents and energy against them. I want the world to be a better place for my children's children and if I ever hope to see that dream come true, it requires me to be my best self. When you are a mother you are invested in this planet and its outcomes long after your own life has ended. The love you generate now just keeps on cascading down the generations long after you yourself are dead.
Sep 6 2011: What inspires me to become a good person? Several things: The fact that I have a conscience that would bother me if I didn't, for one thing. Wanting to live by the Golden Rule is another. So is the fact that I am a parent, and I want to be a good example for my sons, believing in Jesus as my savior and wanting to be like Him....in a nutshell though, it's just the RIGHT thing to do.
What constitutes 'being a good person' in my book? Doing the 'right' thing even though it's not always the easiest thing, never intentionally causing unnessary harm to any living thing, living by the 'Golden Rule': Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", taking the 'high road' as often as you can...these things (and more) are what being a good person means to me.

Big Brown became the 1st Triple Crown hopeful to finish last! His jockey Kent Desurmaux said he had no horse. Was it the hoof? Was it the lasix to open his lungs? Internal bleeding? Other injurys?
Was Big Brown to tired, and is 3 races to much in 5 weeks? This morning I read up on the horses I liked Big Brown and Macho Again. Big Brown set the pace and Macho Again come down and close it, well I went .5/2. Big Brown pulled up and finished last and Macho Again started to come but never came through.
Now I am going to explane Big Brown's race. He started in the 1 hole and had a decent brake. Da' Tara the winner got right infront of him and he kissed Da' Tara right on the butt. Then, Kent pulled him up and took him to the outside. Big Brown's head was jerking around and he never looked focused. He hung around 3rd until the final turn. Then, it all went south, Kent asked for him to pick it up andnothing happened. So Kent knew it was over and pulled him up up and made him jog it in. He finished last and Da' Tara won.
Well, will it ever happen again? The world may never know.
