Vincent Kartheiser for Mr. Porter

White House Assistant Chef & Executive Director of Let's Move! Sam Kass
to Address Physical Education Teachers April 25 at AAHPERD Nat'l Convention in Charlotte
RESTON, VA, March 25, 2013 – Building upon the launch of First Lady Michelle Obama's new Let's Move! Active Schools initiative, White House Assistant Chef and Executive Director of Let's Move! Sam Kass, will address physical education teachers from around the country at the 128th National Convention and Expo of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) in Charlotte, NC on April 25.
More than 5,000 physical education teachers, coaches and other physical activity professionals are expected to attend the largest gathering of physical education teachers in the country. Joining Kass at the General Session of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) will be Shellie Pfohl, executive director of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, who will speak about the new Presidential Youth Fitness Program."NASPE/AAHPERD is proud and excited to be a part of First Lady Michelle Obama's newly released Let's Move! Active Schools - an unprecedented collaboration to bring physical activity back to American schools," says NASPE President Mary Jo Sariscsany, associate professor at California State University-Northridge. "Now we are thrilled that Sam Kass will join us in Charlotte to talk about how the whole country is coming together to increase students' physical activity before, during and after the school day."
Let's Move! Active Schools is an unprecedented collaboration of organizations across sectors that are stepping up to help all of America's students lead active, healthy lifestyles. The new initiative provides simple steps and tools, including monetary support and training, to help schools create active environments where students get 60 minutes of daily physical activity. The initiative mobilizes "School Champions" – P.E. teachers, classroom teachers, administrators, staff, and even parents – who are ready and willing to be leaders for their school community. These champions will go to the Let's Move! Active Schools website and follow a six-step process that includes building a team, conducting a basic school assessment, and creating a customized action plan. Participating schools will have access to free tools and resources, ranging from in-person trainings, to program activation grants to direct, personal assistance from certified professionals.
A Chicago native, Kass graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in U.S. History. In 2009, Kass joined the White House Kitchen staff under Executive Chef Cris Comerford's leadership as Assistant Chef and, in 2010, became the Senior Policy Advisor for Healthy Food Initiatives. Kass was recently named Executive Director of Let's Move!,which celebrated its third anniversary in February.
Kass has a long interest in sustainable and nutritious ingredients and helped First Lady Michelle Obama create the first vegetable garden at the White house since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden. To date, the garden has yielded nearly 3,000 pounds of produce that has been used to feed event guests, staff and the First Family at the White House with further harvest donated to local food shelters.

Stopped here while in Pasadena, hoping to find something cool. Unfortunately the selection was average for a Whole Foods, a few hundred beers but nothing crazy I couldn't find elsewhere. Maybe some North Coast Anniversary beers which are getting a little ripe.
Whole Foods locations can be crazy good (Tustin, Dublin, San Francisco), average, or crazy bad (Greenwich, Palatine). Pasadena falls into the middle category. It could be worse but its not worth the trouble unless you're not mobile.
Blech, disappointing.

This Whole Foods has an exceptionally larger selection than the other one in Pasadena(Arroyo PKWY). Adam, the beer specialist, is the best. He knows everything you need to know about beer and he will help you pick out the right brew for your taste. He even gets in hard-to-find beers like Parabola, Mikkeller Beer Geek, Firestone 13, etc. I always go here for my Pliny, Just Outstanding, and Denoggizer. They always have seasonal brews from Port, Stone, DeSchuttes, Avery, Firestone, The Bruery, Dog Fish Head, and AleSmith. Whole Foods Pasadena stays committed to quality and supported local businesses and it is very evident the second you look at their beer case.

Whole Foods are often up and down when it comes to beer selections, but this one isn't bad at all. The selection is excellent, with a large number of different Belgian ales that aren't refrigerated, many different imported and craft beer selections in bomber and pint sizes, and more options for six packs that most grocery stores, yet full of ones such as Stone brewery, Asian imports and British ales. Good cider and lambic selection as well, and plenty of foods to balance it out. The quality it good, as for any Whole Foods and the costs are reasonable. Service is good as well.

This place had a better than average selection of domestics and I was impressed with the Belgian selection as well. As the others have said, there is a section dedicated to belgian beers. Of note in there offerings was st. bernadus, duchesse, cantillion, wit kap pater, to name a few. The prices are average and the beer buyer keeps the shelves well stocked. Besides the beer, the place does have an excellent selection of cheeses and the bakery has some pretty tasty stuff too. Overall a worthy trip to pick up some good beers and some good food to boot.

I have been in a few Whole Foods Markets, and knew what to expect; this one was particularly good on a rainy Saturday afternoon. For those that don't know, this is an upscale grocery market and much more- focus on organic, quality, and presentation.
Now for the beer. There is a wall of beers mostly US craft with some foreign, and I drooled at that for a while. I wasn't that thrilled though, because I could get all of this at home (about 40 miles away). I was about to leave because there was no real Belgian selection (my passion). So I started walking out, and there it was, a whole separate set of shelves just for Belgian beers. All of the sudden, life was much better. Cantillon, DuPont, Moinette, Orval, and many others all in front of me. Even a few 3 liter bottles for the real stout-hearted. And of course, the non-beer market area (the cheese!!!!) was fabulous. My only complaint was the crowds and the terrible parking, but that's just overpopulation and a tribute to how well this place is liked.

I still get a shock whenever I visit my relatives in LA and realize one can buy alcohol anywhere at any time. Wine in a supermarket? Not in New York. Although my local Whole Foods has a large selection of beer, this one far surpassed it. Cases of Stone Brews (particularly Arrogant Bastard) lined the area, and the refrigerated section (large open cooler) was particularly breathtaking, with lots of germans and domestics. My preference, however, was to the right of the cooler, where they keep the Belgian Ales. They had four packs of Unibroue and Ommegangs, as well as the standard Belgians like Chimay, Duvel, Corsendonk and Orval. Again, I came across the Rochefort 10 and 8, and again I picked up a bottle. Prices were low for most stuff, and reasonable for others. The only shame is that it's far from my relatives otherwise we would have gone all the time.
Whole Foods is an amazing market, and their committment to good beer only elevated their standing in my eyes.

I've pretty much picked my way through my nearest Trader Joe's so I expanded my search to some stores I've noted on the commute home. Whole Foods Market in Pasadena turned out to be just the ticket.
The selection of beers was relatively small in area but pretty significant when looking for styles or brands not common to the area. This store carries many of the top-rated beers, including Stone, Rogue, Unibroue, etc. The store also has a section dedicated to Belgian style ales.
The quality was top-rate. Not a single A-B, Miller or Coors can to be found. The only downside I saw was no Weihenstephaner hefe-weizen (they have all the rest) and recently they lost their distributor for Brewery Ommegang, so no Hennepin or Rare Vos. I was able to get a single of Storm King Stout. Prices were fairly reasonable for some brands, slightly pricey for some others.
Service was good. They allow mixing of 6-packs - I made a sixer of SN Porter, Pale Ale, and Summerfest plus another of Stone's Pale Ale, IPA, and Levitation Ale. When I inquired about Hennepin (I found a lone 11oz. bottle on the shelf), the staff told me about the distributor and sold it to me for a drastically reduced price.
I found this store - it's really a high-end grocery store similar to an AJ's or Bristol Farms - to be a good nearby source for me to sample a pretty good variety of styles. It's becoming my weekly stop-off for new brews.

Oh so there is a reason to do the campaign missions other than advance the story. Well I knew there were rewards, but that would be very handy right now.

Malou Andersson, Tracks, detail
Photo:Per-Åke Persson/Nationalmuseum© Malou AnderssonCaption:Malou Andersson, Tracks, 2008Wool and linenNationalmuseumThe carpet motif is based on a photo Malou Andersson took in Fruängen, a Stockholm suburb, in November 2007. The photo shows tracks in dirty snow and slush, with a typical greyish-purple colour scheme.

US 4413327 A Abstract A method and apparatus for eliminating the effects of ionizing radiation on computer system are disclosed in which two redundant storage units are alternately addressed and updated in rapid succession so that each storage unit alternately carries information unaffected by the radiation. After the radiation has ceased, this unaffected unit is located and its information read back into the computer system.
Claims(5) 1. Apparatus for circumventing the effects of ionizing radiation on a computer having a radiation-resistant internal memory into which information can be written which will be unaffected by ionizing radiation levels below the level at which electrical components of the memory are physically damaged, comprising:
a pair of radiation-resistant memory units into which can be written information which will be unaffected by ionizing radiation below the level at which said physical damage occurs; means for transferring information simultaneously to the inputs of said memory units and the input of said internal memory so that said pair of units are fed in parallel with said internal memory; means for alternately driving said memory units so as to have the information available at their inputs recorded in first one and then the other of said memory units such that only one of said units is recording the transferred information during any one recording cycle, each of said units being in a dormant state during the recording cycle of the other of said memory units; means at said computer responsive to the presence of ionizing radiation above a predetermined background level for isolating said memory units from any further input; means for determining which of said memory units was dormant at the onset of radiation above said predetermined background level and which therefore contains information unaffected by said radiation; and means coacting with said driving means for transferring the information in that unit which was dormant to the internal memory of said computer after said radiation falls below said predetermined background level so that the internal memory of said computer is updated with information unaffected by said ionizing radiation. 2. The apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for isolating said memory units from any further input includes means for interrupting the transfer of information to all of said memories and means for shutting down and clamping the output of said driving means during the occurrence of radiation above said predetermined background level.
3. The apparatus as recited in claim 1 and further including means for restoring the normal operation of said computer after the information in the dormant unit has been transferred to said internal memory.
4. The apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said memory units are identical to the internal memory of said computer.
5. Apparatus for circumventing the effects of ionizing radiation on a computer having a radiation-resistant internal memory into which information can be written which will be unaffected by transient ionizing radiation levels below the level at which physical damage occurs to the electrical components in said memory, comprising
a pair of radiation-resistant memories which are likewise unaffected by transient ionizing radiation below said level and which are fed in parallel with said internal memory, said pair of memories being alternately addressed in such a manner that information available at the input to each memory is recorded in first one and then the other of said memories during alternate recording cycles, the memory which is not addressed being dormant during the recording cycle in which the other memory is addressed; means at said computer for detecting the presence of ionizing radiation above a predetermined residual background level; means for isolating both of said memories from further addressing and informational inputs in response to the detection of radiation exceeding said predetermined background level; and means for ascertaining which of said memories was dormant when the detected radiation level exceeded said predetermined background level and for transferring the information in this dormant memory to the internal memory of said computer as soon as the detected radiation level drops below said predetermined background level such that the internal memory of said computer is updated with information which is unaffected by said ionizing radiation, whereby said computer can be restored to normal operation after the occurrence of a burst of ionizing radiation in the vicinity of said computer. Description The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor. This invention relates to the protection of computer memories from nuclear or other radiation which, although it does not physically destroy the memory elements, causes information recorded in the memory to be lost either through massive overloading or through spurious signal injection. This type of memory loss is one of the tactical defenses to internally guided ballistic missiles. Memory loss is induced by producing radiation which either damages the guidance system elements or causes false information to be injected into the guidance computer memory. This radiation may be X-ray, gamma ray or beta radiation generated by a nuclear explosion in the vicinity of an incoming missile. The present invention, although not limited to missile protection, provides the missile guidance computer with a method of circumventing its memory during the period of radiation and restoring this memory to the state it held immediately before the onset of radiation. Present missile guidance computers are vulnerable to catastrophic upset and loss of information due to transient ionizing radiation from nuclear weapons bursts. The present invention renders the computer invulnerable to the transient effect of these bursts short of permanent damage. This circumvention technique operates on the assumption that information stored in a magnetic core memory is invulnerable to nuclear radiation levels up to those levels at which permanent damage occurs in electronics. This assumption is warranted at least insofar as magnetic core or wire memories are concerned. At any one time, the information contained in the computer system is either "stored" information or information "in the process of transfer." It is possible to prevent "stored" information from becoming affected by ionizing radiation by isolating the unit containing this information from further inputs when the radiation is present. This "stored" information is therefore designated "safe." Information which is "in the process of transfer" may be affected by ionizing radiation and is therefore designated "vulnerable." This information is "vulnerable" since it must be transmitted by an electrical signal which may be altered in either amplitude or duration by ionizing radiation. Circumvention is accomplished by use of pairs of redundant memories. Each pair of redundant memories corresponds to an identical memory in the computer. In missile guidance computers, these memories are shift registers. If the computer uses other types of storage devices, it is this type of storage device which is redundantly twice duplicated. In the case of missiles, the most important computer function is the control of the flight trajectory. Data for the flight trajectory computer is usually stored in a register within the computer. In order to preserve the data in this register during transient radiation, two redundant magnetic storage registers are fed in parallel with the internal computer register. The redundant registers are controlled so that one of the pair is "protected" in that no current or pulses are applied to its core windings while the other of the pair is being updated. These two redundant memories are alternately updated and protected in rapid succession so that no information is lost. These pairs of redundant memories thus duplicate the internal memory of the computer and are fed in parallel therewith with the exception that only one of the redundant memories is provided with information at one time. The redundant memories are addressed or activated cyclically in rapid succession such that at any given time one of the redundant memories will be isolated from all inputs and will thus be preserving data while the other is being updated. When nuclear radiation is first sensed, there will be one redundant memory which is preserving data. This is the data received in the last completed cycle occurring before the onset of ionizing radiation. Since all redundant memories are isolated by the sensing of the radiation burst, information is preserved by the memory which was addressed in the last completed cycle just prior to the burst. When the radiation has ceased, this memory is located and the protected data in this memory is recycled back to the internal memory of the computer. During the period of radiation, the internal computer memory is erased or blanked; and, when the radiation ceases, this blanked memory is updated by the information in the protected memory. This circumvention technique thus consists of a computer having an internal memory; two redundant memories; an alternating drive circuit which alternatively addresses each of the redundant memories; a radiation sensor; and interrupt circuits responsive thereto for isolating the redundant memories from further misinformation, for identifying the protected memory, and for returning the internal computer memory to its initial state after the radiation has ceased. It will be appreciated that the subject protection circuit while having application in missile systems is not limited thereto but is applicable in any situation where either a general purpose or special purpose computer may be subjected to transient ionizing radiation. It is an object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for protecting information stored in a computer during such time as the computer is subjected to ionizing radiation. It is another object of this invention to provide a system which inactivates or circumvents a computer during a burst of transient ionizing radiation by providing a pair of redundant memory elements for each memory element in the computer and for sequentially addressing each of these pair of elements such that when transient ionizing radiation is sensed one of these memory elements will have information which will have been unaffected by the radiation. It is still another object of this invention to provide a method for protecting information stored in a computer memory by redundantly recording the information in two alternately addressed memories, by isolating both memories during a period of transient ionizing radiation, and by reading out that memory which is unaffected by this radiation due to the fact that at the onset of this ionizing radiation this memory was not addressed. Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description thereof when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which like numerals represent like parts throughout and wherein the FIGURE represented in this drawing is a block diagram showing a special purpose computer in which the subject circumvention technique is used. As recited hereinbefore, the effects of radiation bursts are circumvented by interrupting the flow of "transferred" information within the computer system. Information "stored" and isolated in the computer system prior to the burst will not be subjected to updating by spurious information. This invention provides areas of storage in the computer system which can be isolated sufficiently prior to the onset of transient ionizing radiation so that this stored information will be completely unaffected by a transfer of spurious information. These areas of storage are isolated in advance of the radiation by providing at least two redundant memories which are alternately addressed. The cycle of alternation may either be rapid, where rapid computation is required, or may be relatively slow, when only intermittent computations are called for. In many military applications, the cycle of alternation must be rapid since many military computers are subject to continuous updating requirements. These applications occur most frequently in guidance, control and tracking situations in which mobile computers are used in guiding a vessel or missile, in fire control and target acquisition or in any operation where variables to be computed are changing rapidly. This usually requires a special purpose computer. One such type of special purpose computer which can be hardened against nuclear blasts is shown in the sole FIGURE. In this figure a computer 1 is shown composed of a computation section 32, an internal memory 18 and memory drive circuitry 19. Computer 1 has inputs designated at 2 and a readout designated by arrow 3. It is internal memory 18 in which digital information is stored that is duplicated by redundant memories 4 and 5, labeled memories A and B, respectively. In the normal operation of the computer, inputs 2 are read into the computation section of computer 1 at which point computations are made. The resulting computed data is transmitted from computer 1 to gate 7 as indicated by arrow 6. From gate 7, which is normally gated ON, this information passes through OR gate 8 and is thereafter read into both internal memory 18 by feedback loop 9 and simultaneously transmitted to redundant memories 4 and 5 through circuits 11 and 12. Redundant memories A and B are alternately addressed or actuated by alternating drive unit 15 so that they alternately store this computed data. The frequency of alternation depends on the type of memories used. If the memories are shift registers, the alternating drive is recycled at a frequency corresponding to the inverse of the time necessary to move a bit of information from one end of the shift register to the other. The redundant memories are alternately actuated by addressing signals, such as shift and write pulses, generated by alternating drive unit 15, which are coupled to redundant memories 4 and 5 through circuits designated 16 and 17. When transient radiation is generated by, for instance, a nuclear explosion, radiation detector 20, which is designed to be about 50 times more sensitive to radiation than all other circuits, activates interrupt and restoring circuits 21 when radiation above a predetermined background level is sensed. These interrupt and restoring circuits are activated by the outputs from conventional threshold detecting circuits in detector 20 (not shown) and produce biasing voltages in response to whether or not this threshold has been exceeded. These biasing voltages are applied or removed from gates, flip flops or other activating circuits to be described hereinafter which provides for the interrupt and restoring functions. The functions of the interrupt circuits are as follows. When radiation is detected, interrupt circuit 21 turns gate 7 OFF by removing a biasing voltage on gate 7 which is normally supplied through interrupt circuit 29. This interrupts the input both to internal memory 18 of computer 1 and to redundant memories 4 and 5, thus isolating these memories from any further input. At the time of the onset of ionizing radiation, misinformation in the form of incorrect computed data is being "transferred" both to the internal memory and into one of the two redundant memories depending on which of the redundant memories is activated at this time. This "transferred" information is "vulnerable" to ionizing radiation. At the time of the burst, the internal memory and this activated redundant memory will be registering inaccurate or false information. The other redundant memory, however, will be dormant. At the time of the onset of radiation, both the internal memory and one redundant memory will be active because both the drive circuit 19 to the internal memory and alternating drive unit 15 to this redundant memory will be instructing these memories to write, shift and transfer and will, in general, be addressing these memories with instructions to take the information generated at output 6 of the computer and record it. The dormant memory at this time will not have these command signals and thus will not be recording the misleading or false information. This memory is designated as the "safe memory" and will thus have protected, updated data. At the onset of the radiation, interrupt circuit 21 isolates the redundant memories by interrupting the alternating drive unit 15 through circuit 23. This corresponds to interrupting the operating function of the drive circuit and usually means that the timing generator for the alternating drive is shut down and the outputs 16 and 17 are clamped. This effectively isolates both redundant memories 4 and 5 during the duration of the radiation as detected by radiation detector 20. When the radiation drops below a predetermined threshold as detected by radiation detector 20, interrupt circuit 21 restores the function of drive unit 15, thus allowing other circuitry to gate the output of the "safe" memory through output circuit 25 and gate 26 to update circuit 27. After the internal memory has been updated, interrupt circuit 21 restores gate 7 to a pass condition which then allows normal operation of the computer to continue. In order to determine which of the memories is safe, alternating drive unit 15 generates a flag bit at the end of each of its alternating cycles. This bit is recorded in either one-bit register 13 or one-bit register 14 which correspond to memories A and B, respectively. A "1" is stored in these one-bit memories on the last bit of each memory store cycle. For example, after the last bit has been written into memory A, the tag bit register has a "1" written into it. This "1" will remain in tag register A until memory A is again activated, at which time it will be cleared to "0". The object is to have memory A or B tagged as the safe memory. To accomplish this, a one-bit register is tagged with a "1" at the beginning of the dormant state of its memory and is cleared to a "0" at the beginning of each active state. Thus, a "1" in the tag bit register indicates a dormant or safe memory; and "0" indicates that the memory was active during the ionizing radiation. When the radiation has dropped below a given threshold, interrupt circuit 21 sets flip flop 31 which opens gate 26; and alternating drive unit 15 is restored to operation by a pulse through circuit 24. Once the alternating drive unit is restored to operation, one of the memories will be initially read out through gate 26. Gate 26, which is blocked during normal operation, is simultaneously placed in a pass condition when the redundant memories are being read out. This pass or block condition is determined by flip flop 31 which is set whenever the radiation has dropped below a given threshold. This threshold is established by interrupt and restore circuits 21. When flip flop 31 is set, a voltage appears at the output of flip flop 31 to place gate 26 in a pass condition. The tag register corresponding to the memory being read out is also read out at the beginning of the readout of this memory. If a "1" is in the tag register, which indicates that this memory was dormant or safe, this is detected by delay circuit 30 and resets flip flop 31 at the end of the readout of this memory. The delay time of the delay circuit is exactly one full memory cycle so that gate 26 is returned to a blocking condition in time to prevent the next and usually vulnerable memory from being read into the internal memory. If the tag register was not a "1", indicating that the memory may contain vulnerable information and that the other memory was safe, then flip flop 31 will remain set and hence gate 26 will remain in a pass condition. The "vulnerable" information will first be read out through gate 26 followed by safe information from the other memory. This safe information will erase the "vulnerable" information and substitute "safe" information in the internal memory. Thus, after the vulnerable memory has been read out, the safe memory will be read out and passed through gate 26 to update the internal computer memory with the correct information. When the safe memory is first beginning to be read out, its tag register will contain a "1" which will be delayed and sent to flip flop 31 to reset it at the end of the "safe" memory read cycle. The resetting of flip flop 31 blocks gate 26 which prevents the vulnerable memory from again being read out. With flip flop 31 reset, gate 26 inhibits the passage of either memory through gate 26 until the next detection of radiation by radiation detector 20. In the event that the computer experiences radiation for the short interval where both one-bit registers contain a "1", it is true that both redundant memories are valid. Thus, the information in the protected memory updates the information in the internal computer memory after the radiation thereat has passed. The internal memory of the computer at the onset of ionizing radiation will have been updated by false information. After the onset of this radiation, internal memory 18 will register a series of zeros since no input information is being transmitted to it because gate 7 is blocked and because write, shift and transfer commands generated by drive 19 to the internal memory will not be interrupted by the subject system. Thus, the internal memory will continue to write, shift and transfer any information that appears at its input. Since the input to the memory is interrupted during the time of radiation, only a series of zeros will appear in the internal memory. Thus, any information residing in the internal memory at the time of the onset of radiation is erased. The protected update is applied to a blanked memory through circuit 9 when the ionizing radiation has ceased. When the internal memory has been updated, its information may be dumped into computation section 32 to establish a data base from which to compute new data. This new data is formed from the interaction of parameters entering this section at input 2 with the new data base. Signals from input 2 to the computation section arrive during the occurrence of radiation, but any computations made in this section are blocked by gate 7 as they emerge during the time that radiation is sensed. Gate 7 is opened after the radiation has ceased by interrupt circuits 21 so that the normal operation of the computer can continue. This gate is opened a predetermined time after the cessation of radiation to allow time to update the internal memory with the correct data. In the subject embodiment, gate 7 is opened when the last bit of the "safe" memory has been read into the internal memory as indicated when a reset pulse is delivered to flip flop 31. Gate 7 is opened by the application of a bias from circuit 21 operating in response to the occurrence of this reset pulse as delivered to circuit 21 by circuit 33. After the "safe" information has been dumped into the internal memory, input 27 to OR gate 8 is blocked at gate 26 by the resetting of flip flop 31. This blocks any further information from the redundant memories and allows the internal memory to be updated from the computation section. Thus, OR gate 8 is presented with only one of three possible inputs: the output of computation section 32 during normal operation; no inputs during radiation; and the protected update from gate 26 immediately after cessation of radiation. This protected update is maintained at gate 8 until the last bit from the "safe" memory has been transferred. Although the subject invention has been described with respect to a special purpose computer having shift registers as its memory, the circumvention technique can be used with a computer which has any type of permanent storage memory. Essentially, in any circumvention technique in which the subject system is used, the drive circuitry for the redundant memories must be interrupted at the time of the onset of ionizing radiation so that the alternately addressed redundant memories will be isolated. At the same time, the input to the internal memory must be interrupted and its contents erased. After this has been accomplished, the "safe" memory is located and its information dumped into the erased internal memory. Thereafter, the original computation cycle is restored to the computer system. The types of circuits which can perform these alternate addressing, interrupting, and restoring functions are well known and are thus not described in detail. Patent Citations

Critical Essays
Critical Essays
Eaton's portrayal of Armstrong is both believable and sympathetic, although one must be somewhat skeptical of her attempts to indicate his personal thoughts. The authority of the early New Orleans portion of the book, when Armstrong is youngest, is aided by Eaton's marvelous sense of historicity; on another front, however, it is slightly hindered by her lack of musical discussion.
The author wonderfully portrays the flavoring of New Orleans life. She describes the city as a raucous, colorful, multicultural world and skillfully integrates into her portrait backward glances at the city's past as a French possession and slave trade center. Her most eloquent passages tying together the past and present come in her presentations of Armstrong's life as a musician on a Mississippi steamboat. As the boat docks at various entrepôts of the South, Eaton gives thumbnail sketches of the minor metropolises, characterizing their present statuses and the historical fabrics in which they are embedded.
This structuring of the material, in which the tale of Armstrong's life is caught up in a geographical narrative discussing the history of his region, gives the biography the density of a nineteenth century novel. It also helps readers understand Armstrong as a product of the rich musical character of his environment.
The book's one weakness in describing New Orleans, a rather curious failing in a musician's biography, is that it does...
(The entire section is 533 words.)
Critical Context
Eaton's book appeared in 1955, when Jim Crow laws, laws that restricted the rights of African Americans, were still in force in the South. In a number of ways, this biography protests against such practices, though it is by no means a militant document and passes in silence over some episodes of seemingly prejudicial treatment. When Armstrong is arrested for disorderly conduct on New Year's Eve, for example, Eaton makes no comment on whether the white police officer and judge who jail him are motivated by racial stereotyping; she merely reports the events.
In two important ways, however, Eaton does mark and implicitly condemn racial injustices. First, she constantly makes the reader aware of the segregated conditions that hamstrung the young Armstrong in his search for a livelihood. Eaton carefully explains, for example, the many precautions that Armstrong's quartet had to take to perform surreptitiously in the white nightclub district of New Orleans. The patrons there wanted to hear the youths, but segregationist laws made it outlawed territory for the group.
Second, Eaton's portrait of Armstrong acts as a reprimand to racist institutions. Armstrong earnestly and honestly strives to make a living, yet he is checked at every turn by a system that makes almost no provision for African-American advancement. The fact that he succeeds because of his almost superhuman effort is certainly to his credit, but it also functions to discredit a social organization in which a person of average abilities, because of his or her color, has few prospects. Thus, the book will strike a chord in all young readers with a concern for justice and tolerance.

- Album: Featured on Vampire Variations: A Musical Tribute to Castlevania
From Vampire Variations, a Castlevania series tribute album well worth checking out, comes this acoustic guitar duet medley from the Super Guitar Brothers. Who they? Let's read:
"The Super Guitar Bros are not actually brothers – they're bros! Steve met Sam back in 2007 at a local coffee shop he was performing at with a mutual friend. After seeing Sam's incredible classical skills, Steve knew the two of them had to start making music. After their first jam session together you could tell the two of them just clicked. They've been playing together ever since. Not only do they both love making video game covers, they have been working on many original songs, which they plan to share further down the road. http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperGuitarBros"
So brothers from another Super Guitar mother, then... cool. But what about the mix?
"From beginning to end it took us probably about 2 months to learn each of the songs, figure out how we would arrange them together, practice the hell out of it, and then finally recording and mixing the song. As with all the other songs we've done, this one is played from beginning to end in one take: No cuts, no punch ins, no copy/paste, just a straight performance. Because of this we've spent many late nights trying to record the song with as little mistakes as possible. It took us at least 60+ takes before we finally got one we were satisfied with. It was a fun but also incredibly frustrating experience - same with all the other videos we've done so far."
Damn son(s), u crazy... That's gotta be a lot of work, but it also has the added benefit of more-or-less ensuring performability & further honing of killer guitar chops. There are a lot of nice touches that really take advantage of the instrument, good separation between the two guitars that allows for some cool call/answer bits, and medleyitis is always mitigated with fewer instruments - plus transitions are handled intelligently. Bottom line? If you were gonna set out to do a badass acoustic guitar arrangement + performance + recording of highlights from the original Castlevania soundtrack, while staying pretty close to the material, I think you'd be damn proud if you ended up with something this good.
Judges were initially very concerned that this arrangement was too conservative, but that offered us the opportunity to clarify that instrumental adaptations - when done well - usually end up changing enough aspects of the source to work within our standards. Don't get me wrong: this is an arrangement that plays it fairly safe & literal, and I definitely would have preferred more interpretation, but I also think there's enough here, especially given the excellent performances that are dripping with character, that they made it their own. And, bonus, they also made it sound fantastic, and the single-take aspect is all the more impressive. I'd love to see more submissions from the SGB, with a bit more "unleashed" approach to arrangement, but I'm thinking a LOT of people will dig this quite a bit, as I do.

Thank you guys so much!! I'm really glad you like it. And yeah, we'll have to start posting up more songs. Though I know it will be tough since most of them are pretty straight forward covers. I guess with future songs we can try experimenting a little bit more.
By the way for those of you who haven't seen the video version of this performance you should really check it out. We went all out for it - black hoods, candles, Death in the background... It's pretty cool.
Here you go ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CODplxE8E0&feature=related

I ordered bedroom and living room furniture in January, 2006 from your Mentor, Ohio store to be shipped to 2 addresses. When the livingroom furniture was delivered the delivery men forced the couch thru the door opening with no protection and ripped a whole in the arm. I pointed this out and they noted it on the bill and said someone would contact us. Meanwhile the veneer on one of the tables started to come off.All of this took place but no one came out to inspect until March. The bedroom furniture was delivered on March 3rd to my home. At that time I was told that something had tipped over in the truck and damaged all but the nightstand and the boxsprings and mattress. I sent it all back and told them to deliver it all at the same time. After finding out about the table with the veneer coming off I called the store and cancelled the bedroom furniture not liking what I have seen. The store representative came and looked at the sofa and the table and agreed that they should be replaced. On the day they were to be delivered - march 24th - I received a call informing me that the Warehouse had forgotten to put the sofa on the truck and all they had to deliver was the table.
We called the store to find out the reason they did not put the sofa on the truck was that it was discontinued but they would be happy to repair the sofa that had been delivered. At that time we told them to come and pick up everything and cancel the entire order. This entire order amounted to about $4300.00. I love your commercials but how can you people stay in business?

I worked for sofa express for not even a month. Within this month I had to make a decision to quit. I refused to lie or bend the truth or place blame on anybody else. There were so many customer complaints and the employees didn't even care. They did not take ownership they put the blame on the warehouse or the sales people never anybodys fault. I was so appalled when a customer called and spoke with me said the manager was supposed to call her and had not. When the higher up office assistant called the manager she told us to call the customer and tell her that the manager was in the emergency room and didnt know when she could be released. That moment is when I knew I was in the wrong company. I only worked there for a little bit and the training was horrible and they expected me to just know how to do everything. There is no commradary there. Every body talks about everybody. The managers side kick will get a person fired by nit picking every little thing. There turn over rate is ridiculous and I feel bad for anybody that buys there. I know I will worn my family and friends not to shop there. The organization is non existant and so is the customer service. But when the manager wanted me to lie or put blame on somebody else I decided I may not have a job but I still have my integrity.

Sending Carbon Dioxide to Sea
USC marine biologist Anthony Michaels contributes to research regarding 'ocean iron fertilization' as a strategy to sequester greenhouse gases in the sea.
Some people say we could store millions of tons of carbon in the ocean if we encourage the growth of microscopic marine plants by "fertilizing" the water with dissolved iron.
A perspective in the current issue of the journal Science states that the idea is intriguing, but it would require solid verification before it entered the market for carbon credits. The authors say that the verification research would have to show that the mechanism is effective and environmentally safe and that any negative impacts were balanced by the positive effect of reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Anthony Michaels, director of the USC College's Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, said the point of the paper is not that ocean iron fertilization is a bad idea, but rather that it requires more proof, both as a general idea and each time it is tried in experiments.
Michaels is one of 16 authors on the article, which appears in the Policy Forum of the Science issue published Jan. 11. He said the paper reflects a consensus among scientists of many different perspectives about the research that would need to be done to prove that ocean iron fertilization safely stores carbon.
The concept appeals to some entrepreneurs because there might be a big market for companies that can show they removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stored it in the water. Companies that did this might be able to create "carbon credits" that they could sell in states and countries that use cap and trade markets to curtail overall net emissions of carbon dioxide.
Michaels said such a market for carbon credits would require scientific documentation of how much carbon was sequestered in the water and how long it would stay there.
"Our paper makes a simple hard statement: You shouldn't sell carbon credits until you know how much carbon is stored," Michaels said. "That's the key point. You can't just sell these credits because you guess that carbon is going to be stored. In our opinion, you must actually demonstrate that it did happen. However, if this practice can be shown to predictably store carbon, it could be an important tool for managing greenhouse gases in the future."
Adding iron to the ocean can encourage several biological processes that sequester carbon dioxide. Iron spurs the growth of microscopic plants and bacteria: These organisms remove carbon dioxide from the water during photosynthesis, by growth on existing nutrients or by the conversion of nitrogen gas to organic nitrogen. However, that is only one step toward carbon sequestration. Long-term storage only will occur if the carbon that's absorbed into this organic matter at the surface then settles into deeper water or falls all the way to the ocean floor.
Michaels said this last point is critical to proving the efficiency of ocean iron fertilization. The oceans already "breathe" billions of tons of carbon dioxide in and out every year. Michaels said much of that CO2 is absorbed only into the surface water, and so it is easily released back into the atmosphere.
"It would be very easy to store huge amounts of carbon in the oceans for very short periods of time," Michaels said. "It's much more difficult to store large amounts of carbon for long periods of time. The oceans can take gigatons of carbon out of the atmosphere every year if we don't care if it comes back in a few years or a decade. Removing carbon and storing it in the ocean for longer than 100 years which is the 'canonical number' for marketing carbon credits and offsets is a trickier thing to do. The question of how to do it is something science must address to create a responsible market."

Insmed will stop providing its only product, Iplex, for short stature indications, according to the settlement reached with Tercica and Genentech on the patent infringement case.
Tercica's shares consequently jumped over 17% to open trading at $5.91. On the other hand, Insmed is restructuring its operations, reducing its current workforce of 150 by approximately 34%. Its sales and marketing group will be eliminated and production at Insmed's manufacturing site in Boulder, CO will be scaled back to reflect the reduced drug product required.
The agreement comes about three months after a federal jury in Oakland, CA, ruled that Insmed infringed patents controlled by Tercica and owned by Genentech. The jury awarded damages of $7.5 million for past sales of Iplex, plus royalties of 15% to 20%.
Under terms of the settlement, the damages have been waived. Insmed will also withdraw its marketing authorization application for severe primary IGF-1 deficiency in the EU.
The company will be able to manufacture, develop, and commercialize Iplex for certain nonshort stature indications. The licensing and development rights gained from Tercica and Genentech include diseases like severe insulin resistance, myotonic muscular dystrophy, and HIV-associated adipose redistribution syndrome.
Tercica and Genentech retains opt-in rights and royalty provisions. If either exercises the opt-in right, Insmed would be reimbursed 50% of the development costs already incurred. Future development costs would be shared equally, and if commercialized, profits will also be split equally. If Tercica exercises its right, Genentech will receive sales-based tiered royalties of 6%-15%. If neither firm opts in, Insmed will pay a 4% royalty to Genentech.
This settlement, license, and development agreement is in effect until 2018 or the expiration of any subsequent Tercica/Genentech issued patents that cover Iplex or its indications, which ever comes later.

Booking the reservation took some perseverance. You must call during certain hours to speak with someone to make a reservation, but the message doesn't give the times to call. After several attempts, I looked on their website and called during the correct hours but still did not reach a person. A later attempt during breakfast hours finally yielded results. |

text: We want you to know that we are committed to provoking your teenager to pursue a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ, and to take His life-giving message to the ends of the earth. We are serious about seeing teenagers do great things for God, and we believe it begins with world class training, spiritual discipline, and a whole lot of fun! We promise to provide opportunities for your student to grow closer to God, become more emotionally mature, improve their social skills, develop their leadership, communicate their faith, and express God's love. By participating on mission trips teens have an outlet to express their belief in Jesus to others. As they share their Christian testimony it affirms their responsibility to be consistent in their walk with God and remain passionate in their decision to follow Christ. Missions reminds our kids that they have chosen to be a part of making the world a better place and develops within them lasting habits of spending time with God and learning from His Word. Your teen will get to know others from different backgrounds and regions, and be encouraged by the shared love for God these new relationships provide. As they serve together with like-minded hearts and minister to others in Jesus' Name, they will learn by experience that true friends are those who'll stick with you through challenging circumstances, pray with and for you at each new juncture, and celebrate with you when God moves mountains! We believe in developing leaders that will change the world. As your teens impact lives, they will benefit from the years of experienced leadership coaching that Global Expeditions is recognized for. Through the leadership training provided through Global Expeditions, your teens will have the opportunity to take home new levels of confidence, respect, responsibility, and humility found in the hearts of true servant leaders. Because we are working with teenagers, leadership is very important to us. With the current state of today's culture, young dynamic leaders are desperately needed; it is normal for young people to emerge from missions with the drive to positively impact the world, not just in ministry, but in other spheres of influence including medical, political, educational, and business as well. Every aspect of the mission trip has been infused with opportunities for growth and leadership training that will teach students how to lead, follow and serve with Christ-like integrity. Within one mission trip, your child will grow in life skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. They will learn how to value and demonstrate responsibility, accountability, teamwork, compassion, and hard work. Teenagers facing life lessons thrive in a setting where attitude matters. Global Expeditions engages young people in carefully chosen learning projects and enables them to step out of their familiar safe zones to exercise their gifts, talents, and personality. As your young person begins to think beyond "their" world, to "others" by discovering other cultures and being immersed in the lives of others, they will step beyond their room, their school, their familiar surroundings, and broaden their worldview. Their ideas of "self" are challenged by the stark realities of the desperate situations of other cultures. Mission trips will help them understand the world by experiencing it… and know their neighbors by serving them. Self focus diminishes when we engage in sacrificial service to others, and teens are able to reach out in love as they set aside selfishness.WHAT HAPPENS TO A TEEN ON A GLOBAL EXPEDITIONS MISSION TRIP?
