Cedar Rapids Weather
Clay Jones Retiring as Rockwell Collins CEOBy George Ford, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Clay Jones plans to retire as chief executive officer of Rockwell Collins on July 31 of this year, ending nearly 34 years with the avionics and communications company.
Jones will continue on the Cedar Rapids company's board of directors as non-executive chairman. Dubuque native Kelly Ortberg, president of Rockwell Collins, is expected to succeed Jones as CEO of the Cedar Rapids company. Ortberg, formerly executive vice president and chief operating officer of the company's Government Systems division, was named president in September 2012. "This decision was made as part of a carefully orchestrated succession planning process that has been implemented over the past several years," Jones said. "Our focus on developing talent has ensured Kelly is well-prepared to assume this new responsibility." Ortberg joined Rockwell Collins in 1987 and helped lead major program wins for Government Systems, including capturing avionics business on the KC-46A, KC-10 and the Embraer KC-390. He also has served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Commercial Systems division, where he oversaw the company's development programs for the Boeing 787, Airbus A350 and Bombardier C-Series. Jones joined Rockwell International in 1979 after serving in the U.S. Air Force as a fighter pilot. He was appointed president of Rockwell Collins in January 1999, and became CEO in June 2001 after leading the company through its initial public offering. Jones was named chairman of Rockwell Collins in 2002. During his tenure, Jones oversaw the growth of Rockwell Collins from $2.5 billion in annual revenues to become a nearly $5 billion company, while increasing total shareholder value by more than 200 percent.

Did they fixed it?
Hi everyone.
When Polar RE was released, I tried it then but can not do it now. Can anyone tell me please did props fixed this sound delaying problem or not? Before Polar was useless for real time stretching on rytms, because there was about 15ms delay in sound. And how heavy is Polar on CPU now? |
It's in the nature of this sort of effect to have a delay there is nothing to fix at least not until we get the sort of processing power that currently only excists in sci fi but if you want to harmonize your drums or a reason instrument then you could just duplicate that track and retune the instrument to get a similar effect.
with regards to cpu it's pretty good and I dont have a very powerful laptop. here's a track I've just uploaded which uses polar on the lead guitar which comes in at 1:50 and again in the last minute personally polar is one of my fav rack extentions I been waiting for something like this for a long time http://soundcloud.com/transient-behaviour/in-ten-city plus you can improve the delay there are tips on this in the manual as it depends on the sound your putting through it as to how you set it up

Does it matter who buys video games?
Much has been made about violent video games and how they impact children over the past decade and legislatures and activist groups alike have tried to find ways to stop them from getting in the hands of minors. And with the help of retailers, most laws have tried to make it impossible for those under the age of 17 to buy an M-rated game. But according to a recent Nielsen survey, 17 percent of Grand Theft Auto IV buyers were underage.
Nielsen found that of the 6,000 respondents, 17 percent of all buyers were younger than 17 -- the children were aged between 6 and 17 -- and of those younger buyers, 61 percent bought the game themselves, while 39 percent had a relative or friend buy it for them. In those cases where someone else bought the game for the kids, 80 percent were the child's parent or guardian and 10 percent said their older siblings bought the game for them.
Of course, anti-video game hacks will use this survey and say that it demonstrates to us all that retailers need to be more prudent in who they're selling games to and parents should be ashamed of themselves for giving a violent video game to a minor.
But I have a different take. I don't see anything wrong with underage kids buying any video game from any store at any time. And why should I? It's abundantly clear that they'll just have their parents get the games for them anyway.… Read more

NIKEiD KD 6 – Blue/Purple "Chroma"
August 23rd, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 8 comments
There are already a multitude of KD 6 pairs out in the wild thanks to the availability of that shoe on NIKEiD. With that being said, we can only expect that number to balloon soon when the Chroma tinted versions begin to appear. Shown here is one of the few pairs besides those of KD himself that we've seen. The sneakers mix up blue and purple while flexing that iridescent option. Continue reading for the full look and then give us a heads up in the comments if you made a pair of these KD 6s for yourself yet.

Actually, I thought the whole thing with Marshal and Cheren's dialogue is that striving for the top simply to be at the top isn't a goal worth pursuing, and strength comes from within and all that lame stuff:
Nothing about this says his end-goal was being the champion. Basically, this is the same argument I had as to why Cheren's role as a gym leader was very fitting. Alder himself never wanted to be champion and only returned due to the threat Team Plasma posed. I really doubt someone learning for Alder would want to be Champion just because the seat is vacant.Cheren: ...White. It's difficult... confronting myself. I keep noticing parts of myself I dislike, or even hate.
???: That's right. And no one can ever run from their true self.
(Marshal comes in.)
Cheren: ...Marshal?
Marshal: My master told me about this, so I came to see. Do you understand? Even if you lose in battle... As long as you surpass your past self, you've still achieved a victory over yourself. So for that purpose, through battle, we see opponents! We see Pokémon! And we see ourselves!
Cheren: ...I suppose that's a line you're passing down from Alder?
Marshal: ...Well, yeah. What I want is to fight a Trainer who sees themselves that way... In associating with such a Trainer, I know I and my Pokémon would get even stronger... Well, I'll be awaiting your challenges at the Pokémon League!
Cheren: ...Well then. Okay, White! Show me a Pokémon battle!
Now, like I said, Iris didn't come out of nowhere as her hidden talents were hinted at in the games.

Lakotas on Pine Ridge Indian land in South Dakota are being arrested as they halt trucks of the Keystone XL pipeline from entering their territory.
Lakota human rights activists Alex White Plume, Debra White Plume, Andrew Ironshell and others were reported arrested late Monday. They were taken to the jail in Kyle, S.D.
An action alert was sent out shortly before the arrests: "Calling all Lakota men on the Pine Ridge Reservation to come to Wanblee, South Dakota. XL Pipeline trucks are being held there at the border by our Lakota Oyate, Oglala Sioux Tribal Police and State Troopers in an effort to keep them from entering our territory. Even the state troopers told the trucks they have to turn around and cannot bring their pipeline or other materials on to our reservation. The XL Pipeline trucks are refusing to turn around claiming they have corporate rights that supersede any other law."
I guess we'll see how effective it is to try to build and operate a pipleine through communities that don't consent to it. I hope to hear many more stories of resistance.
(Source: sarahlee310)
TransCanada Corp. will proceed with building a $2.3 billion segment of its Keystone XL oil pipeline from Oklahoma to the Texas coast so that it isn't delayed by U.S. approval for the rest of the line.
The company, based in Calgary, expects the segment to begin carrying crude from the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast as soon as mid-year 2013, according to a statement today. TransCanada is separating the Cushing line from its application to President Barack Obama for approval of a Keystone expansion that will bring crude into the U.S. from Canada's oil sands.
"We remain committed to building this overall project in a timely and efficient manner and to meet demand of shippers," said TransCanada Chief Executive Officer Russ Girling in an interview today. Shippers are making multi billion dollar commitments spanning decades and "they haven't wavered from Keystone," he said.
Texas Landowner Group Forms To Fight Keystone Pipeline
"President Obama's decision to halt construction of the Keystone tar sands pipeline has not stopped plans for segment passing through East Texas. And KERA's Shelley Kofler reports a group of landowners has organized to fight back."
Texas landowners thwarted the ambitious Trans-Texas Corridor, and Texas landowners just might be able to stop the construction of the last leg of the Keystone XL Pipeline project. […]
So, the oil industry plans on laying its pipe, with or without our consent. TransCanada: "They say no, but I know they mean yes."
(Source: kileyrae)
Over a dozen of the nation's top climate scientists just released this letter to Congressional Leadership that we will deliver along with the over 500,000 signatures against Keystone XL that we hope to collect during out "24 Hours to Stop the Pipeline" drive.
Feb 13, 2012
Dear Senators Reid and McConnell, and Representatives Boehner and Pelosi,
We are researchers at work on the science of climate change and allied fields. Last summer, we called on President Obama to block the proposed Keystone XL pipeline from Canada's tar sands. We were gratified to see that he did so, and since some in Congress are seeking to revive this plan, we wanted to restate the case against it.
The tar sands are a huge pool of carbon, one that it does not make sense to exploit. It takes a lot of energy and water to extract and refine this resource into useable fuel, and the mining is environmentally destructive. Adding this on top of conventional fossil fuels with leave our children and grandchildren a climate system with consequences that are out of their control. It makes no sense to build a pipeline that would dramatically increase exploitation of this resource.
When other huge oil fields or coal mines were opened in the past, we knew much less about the damage that the carbon they contained would do to the earth's climate and its oceans. Now that we do know, it's imperative that we move quickly to alternate forms of energy—and that we leave the tar sands in the ground.
We can say categorically that this pipeline is not in the nation's, or the planet's best interest.
James Hansen, Research Scientist, The International Research Institute for Climate and Society, The Earth Institute, Columbia University
He's taking it slow but I can't see him not approving of the pipeline, eventually. The interested parties carry way too much weight. The thing is that by the time it's approved and built, the trend in solar technology might be making oil obsolete.
Connie Hedegaard, EU Climate Chief
Science Shows Canada Oil Sand Fuels Are High-Risk
(via jtotheizzoe)"Canada's plans for tar sands will put the world on track for 6 degrees of warming, way past the globally accepted limit of 2 degrees," said Franziska Achterberg of Greenpeace.
"Six degrees would be game over."
The proposed ranking assigns oil sands crude a default greenhouse gas value of 107 grams of carbon per megajoule, compared with 87.5 grams for conventional oil.
Two of the other unconventional fuel sources have higher values than oil sands. They are oil shale at 131.3, found in EU-member Estonia, and coal-to-liquid at 172.

DISCLAIMER: I am code illiterate. Web design is not my strong suite and I was taught differently than a standard Web Design major...because I'm not a Web Design major. Code confuses the heck out of me. If anyone is able to help, please forgive me, but I need idiot proof instructions.
Anyway, I am designing a Flash website and I need scroll buttons to show on the browser window, when the website doesn't fit within that browser window. I found this website...
and he provides the code:
...This is exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't know how to incorporate it into my Flash document. The comments make it sound like his article is elementary, but it's all foreign to me. He says I need to first set up a jQuery, but I don't know how to do this and I don't know how to get in touch with this guy to ask for help, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this concept and can help.
I also found this website, but again...foreign: http://www.thetechlabs.com/tech-tutorials/flash/swfobject-and-best-pra ctice-implementation/
Thanks for you help sinious. Unfortunately, I was still having problems. However, I just found a soloution and it was ridiculously easy. I opened my HTML file in Dreamweaver, looked for the words "overflow:_____" and it was set to "hidden". I changed it to "scroll" and it worked!!
I guess maybe there's three options: auto, hidden and scoll. Scroll added what I was looking for.

[JURIST] Judge Royce Lambeth of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] on Wednesday released a 191-page opinion [text, PDF] expressing frustration with the inability of victims of Iranian-sponsored terrorism to receive their court-ordered judgments. In the opinion, Lambeth discussed the more than 1,000 plaintiffs who have received awards totaling over $9 billion, and the lack of support of these awards by the executive branch, which signs into law bills authorizing suit against state sponsors of terror while it directs the Department of Justice to fight writs of attachment of Iranian assets. Much of Lambeth's opinion focused on the 2008 National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) [text, PDF], which amended the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) [text] to provide additional remedies to plaintiffs, including the ability to claim punitive damages. Lambeth also addressed the applicability of the new State Sponsor of Terror exception to individuals who had filed suit under the previous iteration of the FSIA. In summarizing his position, Lambeth wrote:
the reforms implemented as part of § 1083 of the 2008 NDAA last year which are just now being implemented in individual cases here today will not, in this Court's humble opinion, lend much support to the cause of these victims or their long march toward justice. These most recent reforms, like others before them, are premised on the same failed private-litigation model that has, in effect, doomed these actions from the start. These terrorism cases ... are likely to face the same obstacles discussed in this opinion, such as the Algiers Accords, limited assets to satisfy judgments, conflicting laws and regulations, and the Presidents foreign policy prerogative, among others.These are intractable problems that are more often political, rather than jurisprudential, and so it seems that the new [FSIA amendment], although well intentioned, is destined to prolong and perhaps aggravate the ways in which the same intractable issues have continuously foiled plaintiffs in these cases time and again
[JURIST] The Criminal Chamber of the Peruvian Supreme Court on Wednesday sentenced [materials, in Spanish] former president Alberto Fujimori [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] to six years in prison for multiple counts of illegal wiretapping and bribery. Fujimori is to serve his sentence concurrently with the sentences from his three other convictions. In the fourth and final trial pending against him, former Fujimori was also ordered to pay 24,060,216 nuevos soles (USD $8.3 million) to the state and 107,042 nuevos soles (USD $37,000) to each of the 28 people who were wiretapped. Fujimori pleaded guilty [JURIST report] on Monday to the charges of ordering former intelligence director Vladimiro Montesino [BBC profile] to use government funds to secretly wiretap politicians, journalists, and other prominent Peruvians and to bribe [Andina report] congressmen and journalists to join his party and to support his 2000 re-election campaign. Fujimori accepted the charges to shorten his trial so no hearings would be held and to receive a reduced sentence of six years rather than the eight years requested by the prosecution. Both parties have said that they intend to appeal [IPS report, in Spanish]. Fujimori argues that his conviction is void despite his guilty plea, while the prosecution objects to the final sentence reduction.In July, Fujimori was convicted and sentenced [JURIST report] to seven-and-a-half years in prison for paying former Peruvian intelligence director Montesino $15 million to resign in 2000 in the midst of the scandal that ultimately resulted in Fujimori's arrest [JURIST report] in 2005. Fujimori was convicted [JURIST report] in April of committing human rights abuses for approving multiple killings during his 1990-2000 presidency. The conviction and subsequent sentencing, which put Fujimori in prison for 25 years, was met with widespread approval [JURIST report] from the current government and human rights organization, despite Fujimori's planned appeal. In 2007, Fujimori was convicted [JURIST report] of ordering a warrantless search in 2000 on the apartment of Montesino's wife. Prosecutors alleged that the search was intended to uncover and confiscate documents that might incriminate Fujimori. Similar to the present charges, Fujimori admitted to the facts, but denied any wrongdoing.
[JURIST] Georgia violated international law when it shelled the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali in August 2008, according to a report [materials] released Wednesday by a European Union-backed commission. The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia (IIFFMCG) [official website] concluded that "it is not possible to accept" that the armed response by Georgian forces to the buildup of Russian troops near the breakaway region was "necessary and proportionate" to protect Georgian villages, and that the response by South Ossetian forces was therefore a legitimate act of self-defense. The IIFFMCG also found that military action against Russian forces was not justified because the commission could not substantiate Georgian claims of a large-scale Russian military presence in the region prior to the Georgian offensive. The report found that although the shelling of Tskhinvali was the beginning of armed conflict, "it was only the culminating point of a long period of increasing tensions, provocations and incidents" between the two countries. Echoing an August 2008 denunciation [JURIST report] from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [official website], the commission said that Russia violated Georgian sovereignty by conferring Russian citizenship to residents of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and recognizing the regions as independent states. The IIFFMCG also found that the Russian response to the offensive "went far beyond the reasonable limits of defense" and that Russia violated international law by continuing military operations after a ceasefire agreement. Further, the report concluded that "all sides to the conflict - Georgian forces, Russian forces and South Ossetian forces - committed violations of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law," but that the use of similar armaments made it difficult to determine the perpetrators of what "might be described as war crimes." The South Ossetia conflict lasted for five days in August 2008 when Georgia tried to take control of its breakaway region, and Russian troops defended the region, entering Georgia. In August, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev [official website, in Russian] proposed a bill in response to the conflict that would allow the Russian army to intervene beyond its borders [JURIST report] to protect Russian citizens abroad. In February, the US State Department released its annual country reports on human rights [JURIST report], accusing both Russia and Georgia [text] of violations during the conflict. In January, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] urged both Russia and Georgia to investigate possible violations of the laws of war [JURIST report] during and after the conflict. That report followed closely a report [JURIST report] released by Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] in November 2008, which alleged possible human rights violations during the conflict, including attacks on civilians and civilian targets by both sides, the use of land mines and cluster bombs, the treatment of prisoners of war and civilian detainees, and the wide-spread displacement of civilians during and after the fighting. Georgia and Russia [JURIST reports] are currently exchanging allegations of war crimes in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) [official websites].
[JURIST] The Obama administration on Wednesday informed Congress that it objects to a proposed journalist shield law that would protect journalists who refuse to disclose sources that leak national security information. Under changes proposed by the administration, a reporter who provides leaked information that is deemed relevant to national security [NYT report] would not be protected by the Free Flow of Information Act of 2009 [HR 985 materials]. The administration also asked for insertion of language that would be deferential to the executive office with regards to what qualifies as national security. These changes would further weaken protections that were previously reduced by an amendment proposed last month by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) [official website]. Schumer's amendment [text, PDF] lessens protection for bloggers who may be forced to reveal confidential sources, restricting protections to individuals working as a "salaried employee" or "independent contractor." The Senate version of the bill [S 448 materials] has not been voted out of the Judiciary Committee, and it is unclear when a vote will be scheduled.The US House of Representatives passed the Free Flow of Information Act in late March, days after it was voted out of the House Judiciary Committee [JURIST reports]. The House passed a similar bill in 2007, but it was never voted on by the full Senate, despite passing the Judiciary Committee by a 15-2 vote [JURIST reports]. The bill was first proposed in response to the jail sentence given to Judith Miller, a journalist who would not reveal who provided her with the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame [JURIST news archive].
[JURIST] Associated Press CEO Tom Curley told the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] on Wednesday that passage of the OPEN FOIA Act [text] is a necessary first step [testimony, PDF] to counter the "secrecy reflex at some agencies." At a hearing [materials; recorded video], Curley said that the use of section b(3) of the Freedom of Information Act [text], which allows Congress to write specific statutory exemptions into legislation, creates a "very large black hole in our open records law," which does not allow public or judicial review of the justification for withholding information. Curley highlighted questionable uses of b(3) exemptions which "have not been tested or challenged, or even discussed, in any public forum," including:
the identities of watermelon growers, the identities of people who handle honey, ... the ingredients in cigarettes, the private sector advice that government trade representatives and congressional committees use to shape trade policy, and also the studies that chemical plants conduct to determine the impact of any worst-case accident on neighboring communities and the environment.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Wednesday added 10 cases to its 2009 docket. In addition to taking a case dealing with the Second Amendment and another on a controversial terrorism law [JURIST report], the Court also granted certiorari [order list, PDF] in eight other cases. In Berghuis v. Thompkins [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will consider whether a police officer can non-coercively persuade a defendant to cooperate after the defendant has heard his Miranda rights but has not invoked or waived them. The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that the defendant's nearly three-hour silence in response to questioning constituted a desire to not waive his rights [opinion, PDF] and that the state failed to satisfy its heavy burden of showing such a waiver took place. The case will be the third Miranda case that the Court will review this term.The Court will also consider whether there is a constitutional violation when the African-American representation on a jury is disproportionate to the community population. In Berghuis v. Smith [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will resolve a circuit split on the comparative-disparity test to make such a determination. The Sixth Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community was violated, while the Michigan Supreme Court found no such violation.In Carr v. United States [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will consider whether the failure to register provision [18 USC § 2250] of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) can be applied retroactively to underlying offenses occurring before SORNA's enactment. The Court will review whether the ex post facto clause applies to such a prosecution. The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that, since the violation of failing to register was not complete when SORNA became applicable to the defendant, his rights under the ex post facto clause were not violated [opinion, PDF]. In Lewis et al. v. City of Chicago [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will decide whether a plaintiff seeking to bring suit for employment discrimination for disparate impact must file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) [official website] within 300 days after test results are released or 300 days after hiring decisions are announced. The Seventh Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that the statute of limitations began running when the allegedly disparate results were announced, not when hiring decisions were made. The case involves minority firefighters in Chicago and follows the Court's decision last term in Ricci v. DeStafano [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] regarding the disparate impact doctrine of Title VII.In Astrue v. Ratliff [docket; cert. petition], the Court will consider whether an award of fees and expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act [28 USC § 2412] is payable to the prevailing party rather than to the party's attorneys, making it subject to being off-set by pre-existing debt owed to the government. The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that the fees are awarded to the attorneys, shielding them from government debt offset.In United States v. OBrien and Burgess [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will decide whether mandatory minimum sentencing enhancement for the use of a machine gun in a federal crime is an element of the underlying offense that must be proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt or if it is to be determined by a judge at sentencing by a preponderance of the evidence. The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that such a determination should be made by a jury, relying on statutory interpretation and creating a circuit split.In Samantar v. Yousuf [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will decide whether a foreign state's immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act [materials] extends to an individual acting in an official capacity on behalf of the foreign state. The plaintiffs allege that Mohamed Ali Samantar committed acts of torture during the regime of Somalian dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that immunity did not apply to individuals [opinion, PDF], allowing the suit to proceed and reversing the district court's opinion.In the combined cases of Migliaccio v. Castaneda [docket; cert. petition, PDF] and Henneford v. Castaneda [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the Court will consider whether the Federal Tort Claims Act is the sole remedy for claims regarding the care provided by Public Health Services personnel. The Court will decide if the act precludes the cause of action recognized in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics [opinion text]. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the legislation did not preclude a Bivens action, while the Second Circuit has held [opinion, PDF] that it does.
[JURIST] International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] announced [press release] Wednesday that the ICC will prosecute the most responsible parties for the December 2007 Kenyan post-election violence [JURIST news archive] now that Kenya's September 30 deadline to establish an appropriate tribunal has lapsed. Because Kenya is party to the Rome Statute [text, PDF], Moreno-Ocampo may prosecute suspects for crimes over which the ICC has jurisdiction. In a three-pronged approach, other perpetrators will be prosecuted in national accountability proceedings to be defined by the Kenyan government, while a truth and reconciliation commission will investigate the extent of the conflict and suggest ways to prevent similar violence in the future. Moreno-Ocampo said that "Kenya will be a world example on managing violence" through this three-pronged approach. In July, Moreno-Ocampo had said that the Kenyan government has the "the primary responsibility for investigating and prosecuting these crimes" and had "committed to refer the case to the ICC by June 2010" if it is unable to create an appropriate tribunal by September, as planned [JURIST report].In August, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] called for an independent tribunal [JURIST report] with international support and participation because "the Kenyan judiciary lacks independence," and the necessary reforms announced [transcript] by the Kenyan Cabinet [official website] in late July would be insufficient. Also in July, Moreno-Ocampo received and reviewed a sealed envelope sent to the ICC [JURIST reports] by former UN secretary-general and current chairman of the AU Panel of Eminent African Personalities Kofi Annan [official website] that contained a list of suspects believed to be responsible for the post-election violence. Earlier this year, the Kenyan parliament rejected [JURIST report] the proposed document that Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki [official profile] and opposition leader Raila Odinga [campaign website] agreed to draft [JURIST report] to establish a new Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2009 [text, PDF], along with a Special Tribunal for Kenya Bill, 2009 [text, PDF] that would have set up a special domestic court to those allegedly responsible for the December 2007 post-election crimes that resulted in an estimated 1,500 deaths. Tens of thousands of protesters took to Kenya's streets accusing Kibaki of election fraud after early opinion polls suggested rival Odinga was in the lead.

Room was great. Front desk staff and bell service very nice. However, our experience with the valet nearly ruined our stay. They refused to answer the phne, even when thy weren't busy, meaning no call downs. When you finally arrived, it would take them forever to actually retrieve your, despite its close roximity. Then, due to their incmpetetence in not moving our car from a 15 minute spot in a timely manner, we got security called on us. What's more, it appears that the valet staff are thieves. I left my iPod in a small cubby in the center of the dash near the floor and it was gone when I came back to retrieve my car. In any case, I would NEVER use valet ever here and would make me reconsider booking here ever again, despite the other positives. ...

Family Traveling with Young Children
Overall, we loved staying at this hotel. The suite went beyond our expectations for comfort since we were traveling with our three children ages 7, 4 and 11 mos. The bedrooms each had a TV and DVD player which was great! The kitchen and dining areas were fully equipped. It seemed everything we could possibly need had been thought of and was there. The beds were very comfy. The hotel staff were very kid friendly and helpful. They brought a pack and play up very promptly for our littlest one. We loved the quiet, non-casino environment. Yet when you walk out, the Bellagio fountains are right there with all the excitement of the strip. I highly recommend this hotel for families with young children. ...

Family Traveling with Young Children
I like this hotel because the entire facility is non smoking and no casino and the room was very spacious and clean. The kitchen is equipped very well so it's very convenient staying with small children. The hotel is very low, lower than both side of hotels so there is no good view at all, we had a view of a long and tall gray wall at least, there is very good privacy nobody can see us even leave the curtains and windows wide open. ...

It caught me by surprise! I was not expecting such a nicely decorated, large room. It had everything you needed to stay for the entire visit. I was sorry that we were there for only one night. It was a real value for the money. I have already told many people about The Jockey Club.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) stands for the vision to integrate all necessary functions to perform, e.g., a chemical analysis, a biochemical assay or even the organic synthesis of new chemicals on a single miniaturized device, built from a planar substrate (silicon, glass, ceramics, polymers, ...) using micro and nanofabrication techniques. Its promises include fast analyses and high throughput, minute consumption of sample and resources, ruggedness, ease-of-use and portability. LOC is a very cross-disciplinary research field, which requires input from engineers, chemists, physicists, biologists and medical experts, not least because of the technological bricks that have to come together to realize lab-on-a-chip systems: fabrication, materials, surface treatments, microfluidics, sample preparation, separation techniques, detection approaches, and much more. Beyond ongoing efforts to refine the toolbox of LOC and to improve the understanding of fundamental aspects (e.g., transport in nanofluidic channels), applications of LOC can be found within medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food quality control, early detection of warfare agents, and drug development. This special issue will highlight recent developments within LOC technology as well as examples of state-of-the-art applications.

Labor augmentation in an Egyptian teaching hospital (HTML)
Khalil,Karima; Cherine,Mohamed; Elnoury,Amr; Sholkamy,Hania; Breebaart,Miral; Hassanein,Nevine
International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics 85(1): 74-80
Publication date: 2004
The study documented facility-based obstetric practices for normal labor in Egypt for the first time, to determine their relationship to evidence-based medicine. This paper describes the labor augmentation pattern observed.
176 cases of normal labor were observed by medically-trained observers using a checklist. Ward activities were also documented. Observed women were interviewed postpartum and all findings were shared with the providers for their feedback.
Labor was augmented in 91% (165) of the labors observed; this was inappropriate for 93% or 154 women. Reasons for inappropriateness were: oxytocin ordered at the first vaginal exam (41%); in spite of intact membranes (36%), at the time of membrane rupture (42%), in spite of good progress (24%), or a combination of these. The monitoring of oxytocin-receiving women and their babies was inadequate.
Labor augmentation and monitoring deviated from evidence-based guidelines. Obstacles to implementing protocols need to be explored.

We could equally recommend this fantastic and enduringly popular bar for its tapas (the little ceramic cup of salmorejo is rightly famous). But the extensive wine list wins the day amid the buzz of a happy crowd swirling around the central bar. Bullfighting photos on the walls notwithstanding, the recent renovations have thrust this sophisticated place into the 21st century.

Got my ticket for Maker Faire 2010
By DW
Event tickets are on sale now! James bought his too. This is going to rock.
Any suggestions on how our whole extended posse from SW Ontario can keep in touch at the event? Like, "hey, it looks like a bunch of people from kwartzlab are eating paella in the picnic area! I think I'll join them". I've heard Twitter and Google Latitude, but not sure how that would work. Support for GPS is a must, and I'd rather not have to post updates, but just share my location automagically with a select group. A multi-platform solution will be best.
Can hardly wait 'til May.
Happy making,

THIS state knows well the damage that the abuse of opioid pain relievers has caused. The problem of Hillbilly Heroin has devastated parts of southern West Virginia.
These medications are designed to release medication slowly over a long period of time to relieve moderate to severe pain. Many people need such relief.
But abusers can turn a pill that dispenses relief over 12 hours into a cheap thrill that lasts a few seconds. Manufacturers have adopted abuse-deterrent features that make crushing the tablets more difficult.
With the patents for OxyContin and Opana ER set to expire next year, competition will begin with generic versions of these medications.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Rep. Hal Rogers, both R-Ky., are pushing the Food and Drug Administration to require the makers of generic forms of these pills to adopt the same abuse-deterrent measures the patent holders now use.
"We are running perilously close to another potential pain pill cliff," Rogers wrote.
Requiring generic manufacturers to use these features should be an easy call for officials at the FDA. They should just do it.

For Immediate Release March 21, 2000 W. Michael Blumenthal to Speak at UNCA April 6; Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to Discuss "The Invisible Wall: Germans and Jews" W. Michael Blumenthal, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in the Carter Administration, will speak on "The Invisible Wall, Germans and Jews: A Personal Exploration" at 7:30 p.m. April 6 at UNC Asheville. His talk, the annual Phyllis Freed Sollod Memorial Lecture presented by UNCA's Center for Jewish Studies, is based on his recently published book of the same title. The event is free and open to the public, and will be held in UNCA's Owen Conference Center. "The Invisible Wall" is Blumenthal's quest to understand the failure of the German-Jewish relationship and to explain the character and attitudes of Germany's assimilated Jews over a 300-year period. Juxtaposing the broad picture of an evolving Germany against the rich stories of six of his own ancestors, Blumenthal seeks to show how "the unrequited love affair of Germany's Jews with their native country" led to the unspeakable horrors of the Holocaust. Born in Germany in 1926, Blumenthal escaped the Nazis as a teenager with his family in 1939 and grew up with other Jewish refugees in a Shanghai ghetto. When he arrived in the United States in 1947, he was 21 years old and had only $65 in his pocket. For these modest beginnings, he went on to a remarkable professional life in business, government service and education. He was chairman and CEO of Bendix Corp. and Burroughs Corp. (later Unisys). An ambassador and deputy special representative for trade negotiation under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, he served as Secretary of the Treasury in the Carter Administration. In 1997, Blumenthal accepted an invitation from the city of Berlin to become president and chief executive of the Berlin Jewish Museum. The Phyllis Freed Sollod Annual Memorial Lecture is made possible through an endowment established by Norman Sollod in memory of his wife, who was an active leader in the Asheville Jewish community. For more information about Blumenthal's talk, call UNCA's Center for Jewish Studies at 828/251-6576 or visit the website www.ctl.unca.edu/cjs. Media Contacts:

Horny Dylan Hauser skewers himself onto Spencer Fox's thick erect dick and rides him hard. The two buddies grunt and groan as Dylan bucks up and down the engorged pole and the thrills intensify when Spencer takes charge and pumps his hips up aggressively to plow ass even fiercer. The frisky pair continues screwing wildly, first on the barstool and finally with Dylan down on his back jacking himself off until he blows his load. Spencer is quick to follow up and he jerks out his own blast of cum.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Texas (AP) — A San Antonio-area elementary school is getting parents to bring their children on time by putting the kids in detention if they're late.
Even kindergarteners are on the hook.
The parents of 6-year-old Brooke Loeffler tell KENS-TV (http://bit.ly/Zzo5Kn ) that their daughter was given two days of lunchtime detention because she was repeatedly tardy to school at Olympia Elementary in Universal City. Her parents say they have a newborn baby at home and are struggling to adjust their schedule.
Brooke was placed in detention after three arrivals.
School district officials say the policy has worked with most parents.
Universal City is northeast of downtown San Antonio.

Feldenkrais® is a method of somatic or body eduation developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. There are two forms of learning within this mindful movement method. One is ATM® and the second is FI®.
ATM® or Awareness Through Movement® classes are verbally guided lessons that engage the participants (that would be you) in gentle, easy movements. This method of somatic or body learning can result in a greater sense of awareness in how you move and give you new movement possibilities!
In our busy world we wrestle with things we should do, and often in the process forget that we have the ability to make choices in how we do things. The lessons are intended to help you understand that ease and pleasure are important choices when we move: Discover what you can learn when you are being good to yourself. We are able to move and do things in ways that are not infused with goals and ideals; at once liberating, novel, and possibly a bit perplexing.
What you learn about how your body moves in "ease" is your own learning, not imposed by what movements you "should" do, or how you "ought" to them. You are an individual and all people move in their own ways. The Feldenkrais® Method is very respectful of the dignity and differences in everyone.
These classes are not exercise classes, but rather explorations in learning which may inform and guide you in your everyday lives: More comfortable walking, easier reaching, improved skiing, and ideally a general sense that YOU are OK with yourself.
The classes are for women and men, young and elderly, athletes, people with injury, chronic pain, those who want to expand the possibilities of movement, and those of you who love trying something unique!
Join me in learning about novel and different ways in which you can move.

Only 83 Neandertal proteins are found to differ from human proteins
Cold Spring Harbor, NY – How much do we, who are alive today, differ from our most recent evolutionary ancestors, the cave-dwelling Neandertals, hominids who lived in Europe and parts of Asia and went extinct about 30,000 years ago? And how much do Neandertals, in turn, have in common with the ape-ancestors from which we are both descended, the chimpanzees?
CSHL Prof. Gregory Hannon talks about his team's involvement in the Neandertal Genome Project |
Although we are both hominids, the fossil record told us long ago that we differ physically from Neandertals, in various ways. But at the level of genes and the proteins that they encode, new research published online today in the journal Science reveals that we differ hardly at all. It also indicates that we both – Neandertals and modern humans – differ from the chimps in virtually identical ways.
"The astonishing implication of the work we've just published," says Prof. Gregory Hannon, Ph.D., of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), "is that we are incredibly similar to Neandertals at the level of the proteome, which is the full set of proteins that our genes encode."Collaboration with a paleogenetics pioneer
Hannon, who is also an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and is well known for his work on small RNAs and RNA interference, was invited this past year to help examine Neandertal DNA by Dr. Svante Pääbo, a pioneer in paleogenetics, a field that employs genome science to study early humans and other Paleolithic-era creatures. In a separate paper, Pääbo's team today publishes in the same issue of Science the first complete genome sequence for Neandertal, an achievement that builds on work he has led since 2006 at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Genomics in Leipzig.
"Dr. Pääbo's publication of the full Neandertal genome is a watershed event, a major historical achievement," Hannon says. "The work we conducted in collaboration with his team is only a small part of the larger effort, but it helps us put the Neandertal genome into better perspective, relative to the modern human genome and those of our nearest common ancestor among the apes, the chimpanzees, from whom we diverged about 6.5 million years ago."
The CSHL team contributed a technology developed by Hannon, postdoc Emily Hodges, Ph.D., and others at CSHL in 2007. "We call it 'array capture re-sequencing,' " says Hannon, "and it enables us to extract from genomes important information, on a very selective basis, rapidly, very accurately, and at low cost. We always anticipated that it might help in the analysis of evolutionary relationships, so when Svante offered us the opportunity to apply it to a Neandertal sample, we were very excited and grateful for the chance."
The technique enabled Hannon's CSHL team, working with Pääbo's team in Leipzig, to greatly amplify intact bits of DNA from a Neandertal sample that was 99.8% contaminated -- mainly by bacterial DNA-- and regarded by Pääbo as not likely to yield useful data. The sample studied was considerably more impure than that used as the basis for Pääbo's full Neandertal genome sequence. "Our technology is particularly useful in enabling us to work with the most contaminated samples," says Hannon. "We identify and then greatly amplify just those portions of the target DNA called exons. Exons are stretches of DNA that encode proteins. They comprise only a small fraction of the total genome of modern humans, about 1%."
The Neandertal genome, like that of modern humans, contains about 3 billion base-pairs of nucleotides – often referred to metaphorically as "letters" in the genome's "book of life." The Hannon-Pääbo collaboration focused on obtaining the most accurate possible sequence of only 14,000 protein-coding segments within the full genome. "These," Hannon explains, "are exons that give rise to the 14,000 proteins that we know are different in modern humans and chimpanzees." The question was what those 14,000 proteins would look like in our Neandertal relatives.
"The overwhelming majority of chimp proteins – about 75% -- are different from ours in at least one amino-acid 'letter,'" according to Hannon. These amino-acid changes are in most instances slight, but the resulting functional differences – the way they affect what proteins do in cells – can be great, and presumably help to explain many of our differences from chimpanzees.Eighty-eight amino-acid differences – and what they might signify
Emily Hodges, Ph.D., a postdoc in the Hannon lab, explains the technology she developed that played a crucial role in comparing human and Neandertal proteins. |
Hannon's team applied its focused sequencing method on those areas in the Neandertal sample obtained from Dr. Pääbo, and, after several rounds of refinement, they arrived at the number 88: they found only 88 changes in Neandertal protein sequences compared with the modern human, occurring in a total of 83 proteins . Hannon calls this number "astonishing."
At an early stage of the study, the team identified many more protein differences -- about 1000 -- between modern man and the specific Neandertal individual sampled, a male who died about 49,000 years ago in a cave called El Sidrón, in Spain. But that initial figure was based on comparing the Neandertal sequence to that of the modern human reference genome. When the teams incorporated into their calculations variations in the modern human code that they catalogued in 50 individuals from a range of modern ethnic groups, the number of human-Neandertal protein differences dropped from over 1000 to only 88.Although Hannon says it will be important to study the functional role of the 83 proteins, he expects that many may prove "neutral," functionally. These would be changes in the genetic code that do not issue in any difference in the function of the associated proteins. If even more human genome samples -- say, from 500 contemporary individuals rather than 50 -- were included in the comparison, the number of differences might drop again, Hannon believes. And if additional Neandertal samples were factored into the comparison, he says, "it's possible that the number of differences could approach zero."
In short, Hannon says, "the news, so far, is not about how we differ from Neandertals, but how we are so nearly identical, in terms of proteins." In addition to following up on the functional associations of the 83 proteins identified in the current study, Hannon says new research is likely to address other portions of the genome – particularly those segments responsible for regulating what genes do. In effect, the search for what distinguishes us from our nearest hominid ancestors will shift to from differences in sequence to differences in function.
