The feat - find and rank the best 101 pizzas across America. Not an easy task as everyone has different tastes and opinions when it comes to pizza. But this is exactly what The Daily Meal has set out to do and accomplished. While I may not agree with all of choices, thought I'd let you be the judge yourself.

If you're even somewhat serious about securing your information, you can use various tools that show you what the bad guys see. Ideally, you should run these tools on a separate computer with a wireless connection. This will create a real-world environment and allow you to replicate an attacker's system looking in on your wireless laptop(s). Here are some tools you can use along with what they accomplish:
- Port scanners such as SuperScan and nmap to find out what's running on your wireless system -- it's the first step to breaking in.
- Vulnerability scanners such as NeWT, LanSpy, or LANguard to see what's easily exploitable.
- Network analyzers such as CommView for WiFi and AiroPeek to view cleartext information, where you're browsing, who you're talking to and more, all as it passes through thin air.
- A penetration application such as Metasploit to actually exploit the operating system and application vulnerabilities found. However, quite often all that's needed is a basic command prompt to establish null sessions, map drives, browse shares and more
- Password crackers such as Proactive Password Auditor, LC5, pwdump3, and NetBIOS Auditing Tool (NAT) crack your Windows passwords once that coveted remote connection is made.
Some of the bad guys have these tools, but odds are just as many -- if not more -- aren't as sophisticated. However, if you're like me, you don't want to take any chances.

Van Aken District
In early 2014, Shaker residents will see the first changes planned for the Van Aken district. The Warrensville/Van Aken/Chagrin intersection, where six roads now converge, has long been the bane of area drivers. The reconfiguration will create a standard four-way intersection, reducing wait times, confusion and congestion. The district's redevelopment is moving ahead. Receive emails on its progress: Van Aken on Track.
The road reconfiguration paves the way for a vibrant and walkable mixed-use district as envisioned by the Warrensville/Van Aken Transit-Oriented Development Plan.
- View a summary project presentation.
- View the proposed intersection layout.
- Read answers to frequently asked questions about the project.
December 2013: Memorandum of Understanding Signed
- RMS, the owner of Van Aken Center (where Fresh Market is located), signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City in an effort to make the first phase of the district redevelopment a reality.
- The City purchased the former Qua Buick property, 3393 Warrensville Center Road, which sits directly across from the Van Aken district's phase one redevelopment project area.
- Said a temporary "goodbye" to Starbucks on December 27. But they'll be back! The company is discussing several locations -- all within the Van Aken district -- and hopes to return in 2015. Remember the other coffee and gathering options in Shaker: J. Pistone, Gimme Java, Juma Gallery, and Lucy's Sweet Surrender.
February 2012: Full Funding Achieved
Full funding, in the amount of $18.5M, has been achieved for the reconfiguration of the Warrensville/Van Aken intersection. The last piece of funding was secured at the end of January 2012 when the District One Public Works Integrating Committee accepted the staff recommendation and approved an Issue One grant of $4.4M.
Funding will be used to:
- Reconfigure the Warrensville/Van Aken/Chagrin 6-way intersection to a 4-way intersection with turns permitted in all directions
- Reduce wait times at the signal light
- Relocate Northfield Road to the south
- Close Van Aken Boulevard between Warrensville Center and Farnsleigh
- Straighten Farnsleigh at Chagrin Boulevard
- Add trees and other landscaping on all roads
January 2012: RTA Blue Line Track Extension Alternatives Analysis
RTA is seeking federal funding for the rapid transit track extension. As part of the funding application process, RTA is analyzing the alternatives and impacts for extending the Blue Line rapid transit tracks through the Warrensville /Van Aken intersection to various endpoints including I-480 and I-271. For more information, visit the RTA website.

By Elizabeth C. Brandon
On March 7, 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released a 300-page report on the alignment
Much as the FTC argued in the 2003 Report, the FTC states in the 2011 Report that, while patent rights still play a critical role in stimulating innovation, innovation and investment are currently stymied by unnecessary infringement litigation and by unclear and overly broad patent claims. In addition, the 2011 Report singles out patent assertion entities ("PAEs," or as they are sometimes derisively described, patent "trolls") for raising costs and risks in the patent system without contributing to innovation. Rather than develop new technologies themselves, PAEs purchase pre-existing patents and assert infringement claims against businesses allegedly already using the patented technology or similar technologies. The 2011 Report notes an increase in this practice, which, according to the FTC, "can deter innovation by raising costs and risks without making a technological contribution."
To address these issues, the FTC recommends improvements to patent law policies that affect how well a patent gives notice to the public of what technology is protected, and how remedies for patent infringement should be determined. Arguing that the patent system should encourage and reward technology transfers rather than after-the-fact licensing spurred by the prospect of litigation, the FTC recommends improved notice to the public about what technologies are included within a patent claim, as well as more clearly defined remedies that take into account the type of infringement that is alleged and the contributions made by the alleged infringer to innovation and competition. Below are some of the key recommendations from the 2011 Report.
Notice and Patent Claim Procedural RulesThe FTC recommends making patent claims more definite, improving patent descriptions so their boundaries will be clearer, and enhancing the patent examination record so it can aid interpretation of the scope of a patent claim. Proposed methods include:
Patent Infringement RemediesThe FTC argues that, in awarding damages and injunctive relief, courts should avoid overcompensating patent holders for infringement in a way that itself deters innovation by encouraging "speculation" in patent rights. The FTC recommendations to courts include:
Exploring ways to achieve greater alignment between the patent system and competition policy, the authors of the 2011 Report reiterate several points made in the 2003 Report. This new report, however, is issued at a time when several patent reform measures are being debated in Congress, the courts, and the PTO. For example, the day after the FTC released the 2011 Report, the U.S. Senate passed the Patent Reform Act of 2011, a measure which would make the first significant changes to the nation's patent system in nearly 60 years. The bill, which is currently before the U.S. House of Representatives, would shift the patent process from a first-to-invent system to a first-to-file system, allow the PTO to set its own funding, and allow entrepreneurs to pay extra fees to fast-track the patent application process. The prospects for passage are unknown. The Senate Judiciary Committee has reported a patent reform bill to the full Senate each year since 2006 without final passage.
Whether the 2011 Report and recommendations are given any weight will likely depend on the success or failure of the pending patent reform measures before Congress. Thus, it remains to be seen what, if any, impact the FTC's report may have on future patent prosecution and litigation.

Average Interview
I applied online - interviewed at Florida Virtual School in January 2013.
Interview Details – I am really surprised. Six months after phone interview, long after giving up hope of getting a call, I got invited to the face to face interview. I am headed to Orlando Jan 19th.
Interview Question – I have been told I will take a subject matter test for Geometry. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I have not gotten a job offer yet, just an offer for the interview. There is a pre-interview phone con to get to know the expectations of the company. I am pretty intimidated by the amount of negative feedback left on this website. Would love to have a regular paycheck, though, so hoping for adjunct position.

Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 8 months - interviewed at Florida Virtual School in September 2013.
Interview Details – The first real interview, after the online application and two psychological tests, was conducted by telephone and lasted forty five minutes. After the phone interview, the interviewer told me that he would recommend that I continue in the application process. Three weeks later I received a phone call and I scheduled an internet based learning session and the "Round 2" interview in Orlando.
The Round 2 interview is a group workshop in Orlando at their corporate headquarters. It's not really an interview. You meet there with many other applicants and listen to a few speeches by human resources personnel who tell you about the company and what to expect while working there. You are also required to engage in a competitive Lego building game during which time you are constantly observed by three human resources people who are taking notes.
At the end of the day the human resources person who gave the presentation promised that we would all receive an email, in exactly ten days. that would tell us whether we would continue along in the hiring process. It's been fifteen days, as of now, and I still haven't seen an email.
I would suggest that any new job applicant carefully read all of the online reviews written by long time and new employees at FLVS to learn about the job they are actually applying for. During the Round 2 they made it very clear, that as an instructor, you are expected to work between sixty and eighty hours a week, including weekends. If you do the math and divide your salary by the number of hours you are working, you will see that you will only be making ten dollars an hour. Furthermore, the management seems out of touch and the employee turnover is very high. For example, of all the people I met during the Round 2, who were actually employees at FLVS, none of them had been employees for more than six months. This is a big red flag for me.
In addition, I am disappointed that I didn't receive an email from them, as they explicitly promised to send, in ten days. I took an unpaid day off work to drive four hours to Orlando, at four o'clock in the morning, to spend a day being interviewed and observed at their company without being paid for my time. As a result, I don't think it is out of order to expect a follow up phone call to let me know that either I got the job or that they decided to hire another candidate. This is entirely unprofessional and it seems to be highly indicative, from what I have ascertained by reading other reviews, of the FLVS corporate culture, especially their attitude towards employees.
My advice to jobseekers is to completely avoid this company. They have a great sales pitch but the reality will be much different when you walk through the door. Good luck.

I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Florida Virtual School.
Interview Details – First screening is how fast and how prompt your response would be to a dilemma with a parent in an email. They are looking for people who are caring, flexible, and customer service oriented. Errors in basic grammar and sentence structure would eliminate a person as well. Once that is accomplished and a person were to go to a face to face interview - they want positive people first and foremost - because success within the organization is contingent upon that. If you have children, especially young children, you are at a disadvantage over someone with a quiet and controlled household - because you work out of a home office. Students and parents can contact you anytime from 8 am till 8 pm all week long, even weekends.
Interview Question – Have you ever had a conflict with another co-worker? Describe what it was and how you responded. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Take it or leave it. You cannot negotiate with this company - don't even ask.

I applied online - interviewed at Florida Virtual School in April 2010.
Interview Details – The hiring process was long. It took me almost 9 months to be hired. The first interview was a phone interview, but prior to that, you have to take an online test. After the phone interview and the online personality test, then you are invited to Orlando for a F2F interview and a Microsoft skills test (FLVS pays for gas and hotel, if required). Once you pass this phase, you are placed into a hiring pool or offered a job immediately (depending on the need). I was hired as a adjunct then was called 2 weeks later for a full time instructor job.

Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 9 months - interviewed at Florida Virtual School.
Interview Details – Three phone interviews, one "group" interview and testing session, and many phone calls later (made from me to them), and I finally got rejected via a form email. (Thank you so much for the time you took into letting me know how much time I've wasted!!!) I've applied six different times and have over fifteen years exp. Guess that's not good enough for these people. From the reviews, maybe this is a blessing! The group session was a joke! The tests were very easy. One was computer literacy, and the other was a writing "test" about why you want to work for FLVS. I truly am disappointed that I didn't get hired by this company with all of my qualifications, online experience, and creativity. I think you really have to have an "in" to get hired. When I received an email (about which positions I wanted, when I could start working, would I do adjunct or part-time instead of full-time) following the group session (which the interviewers told us not very many people would even receive), I was amped because I thought that I had made it this time. When I didn't hear back from them in three weeks, I called to inquire what the status was. I was told that I had been placed in the "candidate pipeline" because their enrollment numbers were too low to hire anyone at present. So, if they weren't hiring, why did they waste my time commuting to Orlando, sitting through an 8-hour "hiring" session, etc.? This is very confusing and irritating.
Interview Question – The phone interview was the only time I answered questions, which were not difficult at all. Sample questions: Give an example of a time where you had trouble with a student's parent. What did you do to resolve the issue? Another: Think of how you will incorporate technology into the online realm? Answer Question

Interview Details – Originally interviewed over the phone and was told that they'd call back in two weeks to arrange a visit.

After the next telephone interview, I was invited FLVS headquarters in Orlando for an information session. At the information session, I was given the option to more forward with employment or move on elsewhere. I accepted employment and was invited to return for a 3 day training session; they covered all of the travel and lodging expenses.

I applied online and the process took 6 months - interviewed at Florida Virtual School in January 2009.
Interview Details – They called me and interviewed the next day. It was one interview that lasted a total of about 10 minutes and they hired me. The atmosphere was very casual. They were desperate for teachers in my subject area, so it was almost a formality that they interviewed me. I think they just wanted to make sure I was breathing.
Interview Question – They had me take a computer competency test. It wasn't difficult, but I didn't know it was coming. As I understand it, new interviewees now have to perform other professional mock tasks such as writing a response email to a hypothetical student situation. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation. You get what you get. There is a set salary for new instructors, and it does not take into consideration any years of previous teaching experience.

Usually it's my intent to emphasize more of the flying aspects of the airline pilot career with the Jumpseat column. But on this particular occasion, unique circumstances provided an interesting sequence of events prior to becoming airborne. Albeit embarrassing, sharing this moment is an insightful glimpse into my world. If you are a colleague … well ... go ahead and chuckle.
For the month of September, I included a reserve selection in my monthly bid requests. It was something that I hadn't done in almost 21 years from the days of being a very junior 727 captain. Rather than explain the dry nuances of our pilot contract, suffice it to say that my logic for choosing reserve was a simple matter of pay versus time off. And for nearly the same pay as some of the regular trip selections provide, I reasoned that trying the reserve option for a month wouldn't cause too much pain and suffering. As per positive reports from fellow 777 captains, it appeared that my particular seniority position would favor the definition of underworked.
The known quantities in a reserve schedule are the days off duty and the days on duty. Normally, the days on duty can involve a trip assignment to any 777 destination from my New York crew base. But normal disappears in unusual circumstances. In that regard, my timing was perfect. I picked the first of two months when 240 pilots elected to retire. The stock market slide, in addition to the dismal financial state of my airline, affected their decision. Many of the retirees were 777 captains. Great.
I subscribe to an electronic trip trade service that is programmed to send me a text and e-mail message any time a trip becomes available. By late afternoon on Aug. 31, I was certain that my BlackBerry was suffering from epilepsy. The phone chirped and vibrated itself toward certain battery death. The new retirees were leaving voids in the airline schedule.
At the same moment that I had an epiphany about my reserve status, my cell phone rang. Crew schedule was calling in a semi-panic. Another New York captain contractually entitled to a London trip that originated in Miami had temporarily gone missing in action. Before the other pilot was given 50 lashes and a failing grade, I suggested we wait 20 minutes. I promised to jump into my Superman costume if needed. At the 19th minute, my colleague acknowledged the assignment. Although I was hoping to fly the trip, theorizing that it might be my second and last for the month, I was not unhappy with remaining home.
Just as I attained a state of bliss, my BlackBerry buzzed with a trip trade message. Another Miami trip had appeared, this time to São Paulo, Brazil — all night coming and going. The trip was not on my Top 10 list. And I had given away London. No good deed ... Within moments, crew schedule was calling to congratulate me. I was to deadhead down from JFK on a 1730 flight and then lay over in Miami. I would leave at 2340 the next evening to São Paulo.
Arriving at JFK early, I completed a few administrative chores in Operations and then entered the restroom. In all my years of training to appropriately deal with engine fires/failures, hydraulic losses, electrical malfunctions, flight control issues, etc., I was inexcusably unprepared for a different type of emergency: a wardrobe malfunction. I suffered a complete and catastrophic zipper failure 45 minutes prior to my deadhead flight.
Maintaining a captain's game face, I exited the restroom with the deftness of a tightrope walker. I crossed my fingers hoping that one of our few female pilots would not be in the vicinity. Not only were my wishes ignored, but the female pilot was also an old friend. I scurried away from her line of sight as she studied a computer screen.
A quick and frantic search through my overnight bag found two rather anemic safety pins. They would have to suffice. Despite my marginal tailor abilities, I achieved enough success to brave a walk through the terminal to the departure gate, uniform jacket strategically buttoned.

Draft Social |
Against inside run: Does a good job anchoring against run blocks on inside runs to his side of the field. Displays good use of hands on run block and has the strength to shed the block. Works nicely on the line of scrimmage and has the speed to chase down the ballcarrier. Does not explode well off the ball, which limits his ability to disrupt plays in the backfield. Grade: 7.5
Against outside run: Is productive playing the outside run. Takes on run blocker with good technique. Maintains outside responsibility well and shows the ability to shed blocks and make the tackle. Has also shown he can power through run blockers to get backfield penetration. Grade: 8.0
Pursuit/tackling: Does not show the elite speed to chase down running plays. Is productive making tackles on running plays that are close to him. Gets started down the line of scrimmage quickly and works through blocks well to chase down running back before he can get through the line of scrimmage. Grade: 6.5
Run/pass recognition: Is a smart and instinctive defender who is never fooled by fakes and does a good job of carrying out his assignment. Knows when to peel off pass rush to pick up running back and maintains good positioning against the blocker. Does not make bad decisions and does not get caught out of position, which helps him be productive despite not being an elite athlete. Grade: 8.5
Blitz/coverage: Does not have the explosive burst off the ball to beat the offensive tackle around the corner, but he is a good, consistent pass rusher. Changes directions with quickness and agility and uses strong hands to defeat the offensive tackle. Is best when rushing the quarterback with a power rush because of his good base. If he can't sack the quarterback, is good at swatting down passes thrown over his head. Has experience dropping into short zone coverage and looks smooth doing so. Is not great at closing in on passes, but is nimble enough to close on passes in front of him and make a strong tackle after the catch. Grade: 7.0
Bottom line: Beal is highly rated because of his value as a 3-4 linebacker. In a 3-4 defense, he's likely to become a starter, but may struggle in another scheme.

151 cam
Tango,that particular cam will fall flat at 5500rpm, there are a lot of newer cam designs that will out perform the 151. How do I know? had a 68 Vette with this cam and also a mild 327 in my 67 elcaminowith an aftermarket cam. Shop around a little and consult some engine builders,you will be glad you did.
Is this an engine you're "building"? If it is, build it right to start with. Use decent heads, like a pair of true Vortecs. Domed pistons will be forged and cost more, while you can get decent hyperutectic flattops quite a bit cheaper and save some money to put towards the heads. Go the E-Bay route on parts and you can get things cheaper than jobber prices. Think about what you want, make a list, gather your parts, get your machine work done, and assemble it yourself.
agreed, junior stocker. Domes with big chambers is a poor way to make a performance engine.
Good heads, flat tops (or very little dome) and a smart cam. |
Which 76cc heads do you have? Some castings are not even worth considering?
If you deck the block .007" and shave the heads right to the valve seats 68cc using a .030+ flat top and a shim gasket you'll have a 9.55:1 cr. You'll have to weight the total cost of this extra machining against starting with a different head. eg reworked #416 305 head, 350 TPI head (083 or 113) or other 64cc head. Again using a shim gasket. Supercharging it is a very,very good option. A 76cc head would get you a 8.1:1 cr using flat tops and a .040" gasket. Good for 7psi on pump gas. But as above it depends on which head you have. Something like a 441,336(X) or 920 head with some hand porting and larger valves combined with a moderate blower friendly hydraulic cam would work very well with a 144ci blower and 750cfm carb. Makes for a very powerfull, driveable and enjoyable street motor. |
It sounded like the 327 that was being built was on a budget . You said you wanted to use your 76cc heads . The 125 cc domed pistons are available in cast . And they do make big power with open chamber heads . The 151 cam also works good up to 6200 rpm with new Z28 springs . Sure there are better cams but they are more costly . If money is not a problem then I think the best cam for street / strip is . Comp cams xtreme energy 262/270 der462/469 lift . If you go any bigger then this your car will be a dog off the line . 327s are great at say 20mph and up but they are and never will be a 350 ! If you still want to spend more money then go with forged flat top 30 over pistons . Also install ARP rod bolts . Use the world sr torquer heads with 67cc 202/160 valves . Go with a Weiand stealth intake Holley 750 vac secondary carb . This will be a 327 that will burn the tires .
be sure to clean up the edges of the domes too- sometimes thhey're left rough and the edges are great hotspots- bad for detonation. It will work, and it can run really well for a 1980's engine, sure today we have a lot more techology, but it will still be fun and less costly than a new tech engine. Be sure to use small diam. long tube headders and a good dual plane intake like the RPM AirGAp or even the Performer (which would allow EGR). Hell even the old "Z28" manifold would work great and is probably the cheapest performance manifold out there.
so basically with the budget parts you want/have 327 long block 151 cam souped up factory HEI domed cast pistons ported z28 manifold cheap long tube headers and around a 650cfm carb That looks like a really good fun per dollar return. just don't spin it above 6,000 rpm. |
Pick up each head and march it right out to the curb. Do not pass go.
Find a set of #416 305 heads to work with. They are cheap and common as hens. ( often people wirll give them to you or give you a complete 305 with them on. They work very very well on 327's with home porting ( that you do yourself) and larger budget 1.94x 1.60" valves. they will need a valve job. use a cheap flat top piston likethis one have the block "O decked". use a felpro .041" gasket use Isky hyd cam #201271. Its actually less $$$ than the crane blueprint copy of the "151" cam and will make more power and torque. use a hi rise dual plane (rpm) and a 650carb. use a champion RV8C spark plug in and Lunati 73943 valves springs on the 416 heads. You'll be grin ing. |
i have a set of 305 heads, and the originol 210hp 327 heads. give me a second and ill see the cn of the 305 heads....."gone to see".....................................they are 14014416

Fantastic outfit and super fast delivery!
I ordered the "sexy" Wonder Woman outfit from Allfancydress. It was the outfit I had been looking for and they had it in my size and the price was better than other sites. My order arrived very quickly. The quality of the outfit is brilliant and I will definitely be buying all future fancy dress outfits from here! Very very impressed!

Letters to the Editor
Nehring has my vote for Mayor | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I've been reading the letters to the editor for the last several weeks regarding the Marysville Mayoral election.
Apparently Mr. Wright's expertise in running a city is that he worked in Afghanistan … promoting democracy? I think we may be better off with a mayor that actually has run a real city … in America. I'm sure there are plenty of towns in Afghanistan, Mr. Wright can run for mayor. It appears to me someone just finished his overseas job and is looking for a new job closer to home.
I'll stick with Jon on this one.

Mesoscale Simulation of Blood Flow in Small Vessels Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 6, 15 March 2007, Pages 1858-1877 Prosenjit Bagchi Abstract Computational modeling of blood flow in microvessels with internal diameter 20–500μm is a major challenge. It is because blood in such vessels behaves as a multiphase suspension of deformable particles. A continuum model of blood is not adequate if the motion of individual red blood cells in the suspension is of interest. At the same time, multiple cells, often a few thousands in number, must also be considered to account for cell-cell hydrodynamic interaction. Moreover, the red blood cells (RBCs) are highly deformable. Deformation of the cells must also be considered in the model, as it is a major determinant of many physiologically significant phenomena, such as formation of a cell-free layer, and the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect. In this article, we present two-dimensional computational simulation of blood flow in vessels of size 20–300μm at discharge hematocrit of 10–60%, taking into consideration the particulate nature of blood and cell deformation. The numerical model is based on the immersed boundary method, and the red blood cells are modeled as liquid capsules. A large RBC population comprising of as many as 2500 cells are simulated. Migration of the cells normal to the wall of the vessel and the formation of the cell-free layer are studied. Results on the trajectory and velocity traces of the RBCs, and their fluctuations are presented. Also presented are the results on the plug-flow velocity profile of blood, the apparent viscosity, and the Fahraeus-Lindqvist effect. The numerical results also allow us to investigate the variation of apparent blood viscosity along the cross-section of a vessel. The computational results are compared with the experimental results. To the best of our knowledge, this article presents the first simulation to simultaneously consider a large ensemble of red blood cells and the cell deformation.

Tank Treading of Optically Trapped Red Blood Cells in Shear Flow Biophysical Journal, Volume 101, Issue 7, 5 October 2011, Pages 1604-1612 Himanish Basu, Aditya K. Dharmadhikari, Jayashree A. Dharmadhikari, Shobhona Sharma and Deepak Mathur Abstract Tank-treading (TT) motion is established in optically trapped, live red blood cells (RBCs) held in shear flow and is systematically investigated under varying shear rates, temperature (affecting membrane viscosity), osmolarity (resulting in changes in RBC shape and cytoplasmic viscosity), and viscosity of the suspending medium. TT frequency is measured as a function of membrane and cytoplasmic viscosity, the former being four times more effective in altering TT frequency. TT frequency increases as membrane viscosity decreases, by as much as 10% over temperature changes of only 4°C at a shear rate of ∼43 s−1. A threshold shear rate (1.5 ± 0.3 s−1) is observed below which the TT frequency drops to zero. TT motion is also observed in shape-engineered (spherical) RBCs and those with cholesterol-depleted membranes. The TT threshold is less evident in both cases but the TT frequency increases in the latter cells. Our findings indicate that TT motion is pervasive even in folded and deformed erythrocytes, conditions that occur when such erythrocytes flow through narrow capillaries.

Viscosity-Dependent Protein Dynamics Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 10, 15 May 2007, Pages 3652-3662 Ilya J. Finkelstein, Aaron M. Massari and M.D. Fayer Abstract Spectrally resolved stimulated vibrational echo spectroscopy is used to investigate the dependence of fast protein dynamics on bulk solution viscosity at room temperature in four heme proteins: hemoglobin, myoglobin, a myoglobin mutant with the distal histidine replaced by a valine (H64V), and a cytochrome c552 mutant with the distal methionine replaced by an alanine (M61A). Fructose is added to increase the viscosity of the aqueous protein solutions over many orders of magnitude. The fast dynamics of the four globular proteins were found to be sensitive to solution viscosity and asymptotically approached the dynamical behavior that was previously observed in room temperature sugar glasses. The viscosity-dependent protein dynamics are analyzed in the context of a viscoelastic relaxation model that treats the protein as a deformable breathing sphere. The viscoelastic model is in qualitative agreement with the experimental data but does not capture sufficient system detail to offer a quantitative description of the underlying fluctuation amplitudes and relaxation rates. A calibration method based on the near-infrared spectrum of water overtones was constructed to accurately determine the viscosity of small volumes of protein solutions.

Biophysical Journal, Volume 14, Issue 4, 316-326, 1 April 1974
Fred Sachs and Ramon Latorre
A free radical probe was introduced into single barnacle muscle cells, and its freedom of motion inferred from the spin resonance spectra. The probe reported an average local viscosity of 5–10 cp compared with 1 cp for pure water. From a comparison of the temperature dependence of the probe's tumbling rate in model aqueous systems and in the muscle we concluded that in the muscle the probe was undergoing fast exchange between sites of different mobility. Thus 10 cp must be taken as an upper limit for the viscosity of most cell water.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert behold the Sacred Dow, worshipped by economists and analysts around the world and to which whole economies and jobs have been sacrificed to keep it rising. They compare the Japanese bond market to Fukushima. Markets have become so distorted by manipulation, they argue that like godzilla, one day the market will go where it needs to go and it will smash down buildings and economies with it. In the second half, Max talks to John Butler of Amphora about confusing price signals caused by market manipulating central bankers and the misallocation of capital this encourages. They also talk about Japan's economy, Krugman's bond allegations and Mrs. Watanabe's gold shopping spree.
I like Max but he believes in global warming and bitcoins, no one is perfect.
Ed_B says:
Yeah, that is kind of a 1-2 punch for boneheads. I like the info that Max has but can't stand the hysterical presentation he uses. If you have the truth on your side, what need is there for hysterics?
Yikes, 97% of scientists believe in global warming. It's not a debate outside of politics.
Posted this before I heard the news about what they did to bitcoin today. One down. The scientists that don't believe in GW are not on the payroll of the gov or have been silenced by the Gore crowd. The science is not there if you actually take the time and do the research.
@pbppbp Yikes if you believe what the "scientists" feed you. Its snowing in North Central Usa in mid to late may…. wheres the global warming? Its not sporadic, its everywhere or nowhere…. now a short lived global temp increase that will inevitably lead to an ice age, that is the stuff real science is made of. What happens when all the glaciers melt? Does all that cold water warm the oceans, unfortunately it slows them and cools them. Ice age is next.
Max is great, he continually nails it.
John Butler was an excellent guest.
@Ed_B: He can be hysterical, but we need different styles to continue to wake people up to the truth.
Take Max, Bix Weir, Jim Willie, Eric Sprott, Harvey Organ, James Turk, Mike Maloney, Andy Macguire, David Morgan, etc
All on the same side, but almost polls apart in their delivery. -
Ed_B says:
I suppose that histrionics appeal to some but no one I know, so can't recommend him to anyone. -

"Yikes, 97% of scientists believe in global warming. It's not a debate outside of politics."
Utter nonsense. There is NO evidence whatever that 97% of scientists believe in GW. As a scientist myself, I can tell you that there is a great deal of debate among scientists about GW. Most of the ones that I know are not on the take seeking grant money to do useless research. Those who are will drink whatever flavor of kool-aid that is put in front of them. If you are interested in reading some info that is scientifically valid, check out this web site:
The section on their petition project is especially illuminating, as it is signed by nearly 31,500 scientists who have not drunk the GW kool-aid, who have studied the data that supposedly supports GW, and have rejected the GW thesis in its entirety.
The BBC did an anti-GW documentary TV production that disputed all of the GW claims and offered considerable support for those disclaimers. Even the fellow who coined the term "global warming" expressed doubt in it as a scientifically valid hypothesis. See the following for more info:
Good Show. But it is easier than all that. All you gotta do is take a bunch of money that you have (you got some?) anyway, take a whole bunch of money (paper to digital) and place it in the window (of opportunity?) and since you got burned by the comex and were too lazy to get physical (kidz would steal it) or actually invest it in a small business (lazy ame-rican/banana republic workers wouldn't show up cause thay have a job bouncing at a bar) or buy futures in agriculture (we get all our food from China, right?) …now where was I? Oh yeah, msn/abc/cbs/nbc/cramer says the markets are up because Productivity is up and Buyers for the Goods are sparkin' the Baltic Dry Index with their hard earned dollars…wait a minute…this does not compute…this does not compute…this does not compute…would you like to play a game Dave?
Ed_B says:
None of that BS computes. The market level we have now is 100% due to Fed distortion of the markets with $85B a month in free money. As soon as the Fed starts to reduce this largesse, we will see a lower market; perhaps a MUCH lower market. The current market levitation of share prices does NOT reflect improving economic conditions.
It is naive to not take into account the possibility that metal markets are rigged. I agree with that. It's probably detrimental to your long term financial health not to take that possibility into account.

A nearly quarter-century-old snowmobile festival will go on as planned in Rangeley despite the presumed deaths of three sledders who apparently rode into open water on Rangeley Lake last month. The Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club, organizer of the annual Snodeo, decided to carry on with the festival scheduled for Jan. 24 through 26 after meeting with the Maine Warden Service and town officials. The Warden Service has been leading recovery efforts. A woman riding separately died when her snowmobile fell into the lake at about the time the men went missing.

The Art Forger
Posted: February 10, 2014 Filed under: Book Discussions, Book Reviews | Tags: art Leave a commentThe Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro
Painter Claire Roth was working on her master's degree when her boyfriend Isaac got painter's block. With a deadline looming, Claire painted a picture in Isaac's style to inspire him. Predictably, when the painting is successful Isaac claims it as his own work. Three years later, Claire is a struggling artist, painting reproductions for an online art store. Then she is approached about copying a painting stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1990, and has a chance at her own gallery showing. Claire suspects the Degas painting may be a forgery itself, and looks for a connection between Isabella and Degas. This novel is both a thriller and a romance, but art is the main focus. The morning book group will be reading this book in March, and I look forward to the discussion.
An Object of Beauty
Posted: June 4, 2012 Filed under: Book Reviews | Tags: art, fiction, New York City Leave a commentAn Object of Beauty by Steve Martin
"Great paintings live on because they're not quite explicable." says Steve Martin. In "An Object of Beauty" , Steve Martin puts his considerable knowledge of the art world in full display. This novel is part fictional memoir, and part primer on the business of fine art collecting. It takes place in New York City and covers a period from about 1997 through 2008.
The novel is narrated by Daniel Franks, a writer for art world publications but who is really a stand in for Martin. The main character is Lacey Yeager, who is young, ambitious, gorgeous, quick witted and morally suspect. We follow her from art school to an internship at Sotheby's, to working for a private art dealer to opening her own art gallery. Lacey is a master manipulator of men. She has Daniel Franks in her thrall throughout the book. Lacey sleeps with every man she meets, except Franks. She commits fraud for personal monetary gain, spies on competitors, and makes the big time.
The art market is booming along with the housing bubble in the early 2000s with money coming in from Russia and China. But as they say what goes up must come down as her career slides in the collapse of Wall Street and the subsequent drying up of the big money. As Martin states: "Art as an aesthetic principle was supported by thousands of years of discernment and psychic rewards, but art as a commodity was held up by air. The loss of confidence that affected banks and financial instruments was now affecting art as well."
As we go through the book the works of art that Martin is talking about are displayed in full color inserts so that we can better appreciate them.
Steve Martin is an American actor, comedian, author, playwright, producer, musician and composer, and an avid art collector. I knew he was funny but had no idea he was such a good writer. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
A History of the World in 100 Objects
Posted: March 28, 2012 Filed under: Book Reviews | Tags: archaeology, art, history, photography Leave a commentA History of the World in 100 Objects, by Neil MacGregor
If you've ever wanted to visit the British Museum but couldn't afford the airfare, now you don't have too. Neil Macgregor, Director of the British Museum brings it to you in his new book.
Here are 100 carefully selected objects that represent the sum total of the progress of Humanity. All the major civilizations of the world are represented here, including Meso America (Olmec, Maya, Aztec) ; South America (Paracas, Moshe, Inca); Europe (Celts, Minoans, Athenians, Romans, Byzantium, Ottoman-Turks); the Tigris-Euphrates river valley(Sumerians, Assyrians, Lydians, Persians); Egypt and Nile delta (Ancient Egyptians); Africa (Kushites, Oba, Kilwa, Ife); Indus Valley (Gupta, Orissan, Mughal); and China (Zhou, Confucian, Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasties, Mongolia, Timurid Empire, Quig Dynasty). All of the objects are either works of art or tools that look like works of art. Some are very well known like the Rosetta Stone, Ming Vases, Beowulf's Helmet, and The Easter Island Statues. All the world's great religions are profiled including Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity.
In each of 100 short chapters, MacGregor writes a brief description and history of each object, which keeps the book from getting long and boring. Photographs of the objects are beautifully rendered against mostly black backgrounds. Also included is a brief paragraph from experts in their various fields such as Archaeology, Linguistics, Ancient Literature, etc.
Here is an example of one of the interesting things one could learn from this book. This passage refers to Marco Polo and his first encounter with now world famous Chinese Ceramics:
"One of the Startling things he had seen was Porcelain; indeed, the very word 'porcelain' comes to us from Marco Polo's description of his travels in Qubilai Khan China. The Italian porcellana, little piglet, is a slang word for cowry shells, which do indeed look a little like curled-up piglets. And the only thing that Marco Polo could think of to give his readers an idea of the shell-like sheen of the hard, fine ceramics that he saw in China was a cowry shell, a porcellana. And so we've called it 'little piglets' porcelain, ever since –this is if we're not just calling it 'china'.
A book that is very worth your while.
The Lady in Gold
Posted: March 20, 2012 Filed under: Book Reviews | Tags: art, history, modern art, World War II Leave a commentThe Lady in Gold, by Anne-Marie O'Connor
In June 2006, The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer was sold at auction at Christie's in New York for a record 135 million dollars. The buyer of the painting was Ron Lauder, who had coveted the gold portrait of Adele for years. He needed a destination painting for his new museum in New York City called the Neue Galerie. This painting had a lot of history behind it. He was willing to pay a lot of money for it. How this gorgeous painting was created, and how it came to the United States is the subject of a fascinating book by Anne-Marie O' Connor.
The painter was Gustav Klimt, part of a new generation of artists in the early 1900s who refused to conform to convention and were instead in the vanguard of the nascent "Art for Art's sake" movement. The subject of the painting was Adele Bloch-Bauer, a wealthy Jewish socialite, who was also ahead of her time, being an avid suffragist, chain smoker, and salon intellectual. There were also rumors that she and Gustav were lovers although nothing has been proven. Klimt produced several portraits of Adele and often used real gold leaf which added to the allure of his work. However at the time most everyone was disgusted by the overt eroticism of Klimt's pieces and thus they did not enjoy wide popularity.
The painting resided happily on the walls of the Bloch-Bauer family's Belvedere Estate in Vienna, until the Anschluss (March 1938) when Hitler insisted that Germany and Austria be united under the Third Reich. Jews and Jewish property were fair game for the Nazis. They stole vast art collections from all the countries of Europe, but Klimt's works were spared because "Der Fuhrer" considered modern art to be degenerate and unwholesome. However the painting was expropriated by Viennese nationals, who were not Nazis but had no love for the Jews. The name of the painting was changed to "The Lady in Gold" so as to eradicate any connection to its Jewish owners. It survived the war and ended up in a national museum.
During the last decades of the twentieth century, modern art gained in popularity and value. Most of the Viennese Jews had perished in the holocaust, but some claimants came forward and demanded restitution for their stolen property. Litigation went on for years but finally the painting was restored to its rightful owners, the heirs of Adele and her family.
"in Vienna, the impact of the Bloch-Bauer restitution rippled out of ministries and courtrooms and into cafes and dinner parties. "It was our Austrian 'Mona Lisa' " lamented Werner Furnsinn, the director of the Austrian Culture Ministry's Commission for Provenance Research.
If you like modern art and history, then this book will be perfect for you.
The Marriage Artist
Posted: February 15, 2012 Filed under: Book Reviews | Tags: art, historical fiction, Holocaust Leave a commentThe Marriage Artist, by Andrew Winer
This is an intricately woven novel which incorporates grand themes such as love, marriage, death, history, religion, and art. Most of the characters are Jewish, and there are two main plots.
The first plotline involves a love triangle between Josef, a famous gifted artist, his friend Max, who is doubly doomed, being Jewish and gay, and Hannah, who is depressed. The story begins in Vienna in 1928, when 8-year-old Josef meets his grandfather, a rabbi, and discovers a talent for drawing Ketubah, an ornate Jewish marriage certificate. "After all," his grandfather states, "Marriage demands of us the impossible. It is a job for which there is no apprenticeship – a riddle no one has ever solved. And the husband and wife, naively jumping into this great mystery, are left to shape it according to a vision they don't have. This is where the Ketubah comes in. A Good Ketubah, in words both practical and poetic, in beauty that is symbolic and personal to the bride and groom, illuminates the mystery of the union of man and woman. A Good Ketubah helps give them a vision, a start."
Joseph draws many Ketubah but becomes disillusioned when the reality is the Ketubah does not guarantee happiness. He meets Max and they both swear to never get married. Many years later Josef meets Hannah when they are both trying to flee from Hitler's regime. They are married in line at an emigration station, both intending to go to Palestine. But they never leave and Hannah becomes pregnant with baby Herman. Max secretly loves Josef and is not pleased to share him with Hannah. All three of them end up in the concentration camps.
Baby Herman escapes the fate of the concentration camps and grows up to be a Buddhist. Herman's son Benjamin becomes a troubled, gifted artist like his grandfather.
The second plotline (taking place in present-day New York) involves an art critic named Daniel Lichtmann, whose wife Alexandra has a suicidal affair with Benjamin. The deaths occur at the book's beginning, and Daniel tries to discover why this happened, and unravels the stories of Josef, Max, and Hannah.
All of these characters are caught up in or haunted by the Holocaust. This is beautiful and powerful writing and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Schindler's List and Sophie's Choice.
