Utah School Vouchers, Referendum 1 (2007)
The Utah School Voucher Referendum, also known as "Referendum One", was a veto referendum which appeared on the November 6, 2007 general election ballot in Utah. In that election, Utah voters Vetoed HB 148, a school voucher bill that had been passed by the Utah legislature and signed by the governor on February 12, 2007.[1]
62% of voters votoed the school voucher program.[2][3] The veto referendum failed in every county.[4]
There have been 11 state referenda on various voucher programs since 1972, all of them unsuccessful.[5]
See 2007 Ballot Measure Guide.

Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
No | 325,279 | 62.14% | ||
Yes | 198,205 | 37.86% |
Election Results via: The Utah Lieutenant Governor
Petition drive
Once the bill had been signed into law, opponents of the legislation had forty-five days to collect approximately 92,000 valid signatures, including signatures equalling 10% of registered voters in 20 of the 29 Utah counties.
The petition drive began on March 1, 2007 and ended on April 12, when voucher opponents turned in their signatures. When the signatures were scrutinized by elections officials, it was determined that 124,218 signatures were valid. Lt. Governor Gary Herbert declared the sufficiency of the signatures on April 30.[6]
Voucher opponents
The primary impetus for overturning the school voucher plan comes from the Utah Education Association and the National Education Association, which has chipped in $3 million to overturn the voucher plan.[7]
The name of the official group supporting the referendum (opposing school vouchers) is Utahns for Public Schools.
The slogan of the campaign against vouchers is "Flawed Law. Wrong for Utah Familes".
Voucher proponents
The official group running the campaign to persuade Utah voters to keep the voucher law is "Parents for Choice in Education." Patrick Byrne was a major financial supporter of the campaign for school vouchers. After the measure was defeated, the outspoken Byrne said, "I'm ashamed of Utah voters that this could even be a close vote".[8]
Organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and Heartland Institute[9] have hailed the initiative passing, calling it "revolutionary."[10]
Both sides have complained that their opponents are receiving out-of-state money.[11] Over $2.6 million has been spent on the initiative from both sides.[12]

Scrolling content
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I'm not sure which section it fits best under. I've been asked to build a site that smoothly scrolls content and I don't know where to start.
I'm trying to build something like the top part of this site where you click on the arrows and it scrolls to another set of stories. I've tried to disect the code on the site, but when I try to implement it myself it doesn't work. I pressume it's some sort of jquery plugin but that's as far as I've got with it.
I'd be grateful for any help on this as I've been trying to work it out for months and haven't got anywhere - except now have less hair!!

Odin comes off as a douchebag because to him Earth is not the center of the universe. Odin's focus is on Asgard and Thor is its chief defender. There have been times where Thor is needed in Asgard and he has been unavailable due to business on Earth. Thor is the crown prince of Asgard and that means a certain degree of responsibility. That responsibility comes with putting Asgard before Earth. Its why Odin was so against Jane Foster. He knew it was a bad idea because Jane was not fit for a life in Asgard and she risked drawing Thor away from Asgard. To Odin, the two come from two radically different worlds that would not work well together in the long term. I think he is right.
Thor reacquring the Odinforce would be a mistake especially under Fraction. The Odinforce makes Thor too powerful to use in regular stories. Under Fraction, Thor is such a short-sighted, hardheaded idiot that giving him practically unlimited power would be a disaster. Examples? Reviving Loki without thinking it through. Breaking a seal Odin placed up just cause Odin isn't around without alerting the All-Mothers. Now something evil and powerful is free, its Thor's fault, and he did not bother to tell anyone.
With Odin around Thor can go off, have adventures, and do just about whatever he wants because he knows daddy will be around to take care of things and clean up any mess he makes. Fraction's Thor hates Odin for telling him what to do, but needs him because Thor does not spend five seconds thinking his actions through and needs someone to bail him out.
For the movie, it was necessary to create suspense. Thor relying on Bifrost would not work if he could teleport using his hammer. Of course, even in the comics Thor has been shown somewhat reliant on Bifrost to travel to Asgard. Without it travel between the two worlds is a lot more difficult.
I largely agree. I think one thing that is also limiting Thor is he has never bothered to develop those powers. His storm powers came naturally and he relies heavily on Mjolnir. To develop those other powers requires training and study to use them which Thor has never bothered to do.

Cleaning Got You Down? 4 Reasons to Get Your Shine On
"My second favorite household chore is laundry. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint." Has cleaning got you down? I was a self professed neat freak. Now I admit I have been back sliding like crazy. Having a baby stopped me from getting my spit shine on like I used to. For those first few months after she came home as long as the room was not on fire I was okay. Everyone goes through those times of drudging to do chores. But there are some benefits. For me anytime I feel overwhelmed I stop and do a little cleaning. Sound crazy? It actually provides me with a sense of accomplishment. It helps to get me into the frame of mind that lets me know that I can set goals and achieve them. And there are more benefits. From burning off stem to burning calories there are many reasons why cleaning can be helpful.
Here are a few more reasons to get your shine on:
Eliminate Stress
After picking up the pacifier for the 1000th time or a long day at work you may need to blow off a little stem. Cleaning is a great stress reliever and let's face it clutter can be stressful. Dealing with piles of laundry, dishes and toys can make you feel stressed. A neat home environment will allow you to focus. The act of cleaning your house can be a stress management technique in itself.
Money Honey
Need cash? Cleaning can expose that we often replace items that we already have because we may be disorganized. Avoid being late on bills because they haven't been sorted properly and put away or taken care of. Plus cleaning can reveal items that you got good use out of but are ready to let go. A garage sale or consignment shop can bring in extra money.
Do A Little Good
Cleaning your house can expose items that can be donated. Your trash can be another's treasure. It can also help you do your part to help the environment by recycling all of your old magazines and newspapers. Old cell phones can be donated to military families and even kids toys can be recycled.
Shape Up
A great way to burn some calories without stepping on the treadmill is cleaning up. Running up and down the stairs, carrying items from room to room, and scrubbing windows and floors can burn calories, release endorphins, and help you to shape up.

Three Albany bars fighting for their liquor licenses will have to wait a little longer to present their case.
Hearings for Sandtrap Lounge and Club and Big Daddy's Lounge and Club were postponed Wednesday morning because not all of the city commissioners were there.
Those hearings, along with the one for Legend Lounge and Club will be held January 29th.
Last month Albany police and the city attorney's office recommended that city commissioners not renew alcohol licenses for five bars because police say they respond to so many calls at the businesses.
Hearings for Charley B's and Club Xscape were held on Monday. Commissioners will likely vote on whether to renew their liquor licenses at their January 22nd meeting.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The quality of the invites were better than expected. They look very high end. We ordered all of the accessories and will now be ordering our programs. Don't hesitate they are beautiful!"
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"I ordered invitations and enclosure cards in this design for our bird-themed wedding and am extremely satisfied! I was able to customize the font colour of our names to match our wedding colours. I will be ordering the matching thank you cards in the next few months."
"We ordered this in the Pearly White paper with rounded corners - and they truly look elegant, but not over the top. I will say that this invite with both inner and outer envelopes, the enclosure card and the RSVP card requires a 66 cent stamp by .1 ounce. Unfortunate, but still very pretty and high quality."
"Aside from the great vintage design and color choices, the thing that sold me on these was the fact that there was so much space on the back of the invitation to write too. I listed all of our accommodations and RSVP date etc on the back, leaving the front with our names, the wedding date and times. It was a great way to keep the simple details on the front and the nitty gritty ones on the back. I don't order a lot of things online so I was skeptical to order my wedding invitations. THe customer service was great and the quality of them are top notch! I recommend paying the little extra for the shimmer rather than the matte. It is not too glossy but makes it look much more professional."

Zambur Bar & Grill's masterful menu makers welcome visitors by handing them plates filled with kebabs, seafood, pub fare, and more. Begin the tasting session with sambosa, a puffy pastry indwelt by spicy potato eats ($4.95). Or, promise your mouth hot wings ($5.95), but then surprise it instead with battered crab cakes ($6.95) paired with a frothy brew from Zambur's full bar.
In the kaleidoscopic glow of ubiquitous neon lights, a bartender stirs blood orange vodka martinis for four guests at a table laden with tapas dishes. A DJ from Las Vegas spins progressive house music, sending bass thrumming through the entire club. This is a nightly scene at the ultra modern Redux Lounge, which gracefully blurs the line between hot nightclub and elegant tapas restaurant. In the afternoons before Redux shape shifts into a club, the kitchen grills seafood, tapas, and kebabs, often pairing them with one of Redux' house wines or martinis. At 10:00 p.m., the party starts. Disc jockeys fly in on magic carpets from LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco to spin tunes spanning the last 70 years of pop music. Redux' intelligent LED lighting system syncs up with every syncopation, flashing over the dance floor to the beat of the music. Outside on two heated outdoor patios, barkeeps mix gourmet cocktails for lounging guests. The kitchen stays open until close (2 a.m.) to fuel private parties in VIP areas and excited cheers in the sports lounge. Caterers also rush out through the bustling lounge, toting drinks and food to special events.
The two chefs at Cypress rely on more than following great recipes when crafting their fine French foods. They meticulously prepare every batch of béarnaise sauce and pot of coq au vin using sustainable, organic California ingredients as often as they can. They also take pride in their artful, festive presentation, serving their dishes tableside style on gueridons whenever possible and Cirque du Soleil style when they remember to bring their leotards. Servers, meanwhile, toss salads, sizzle up new york steaks with brandy, and ignite strawberry flambés.
Linger at one of The New Ristorante Forli's tables long enough, and owners Gabriele Davanzante or Russ Belleci might sidle up to the table to tell a joke or spontaneously burst into an Old Italian song. Flourishes like these imbue The New Ristorante Forli with the aura of a traditional Italian trattoria. In addition to a pair of jovial Italian hosts, The New Ristorante Forli cements its status as a cultural bastion by plating classic dishes such as osso bucco and braised lamb shank. Tuscan chianti and California pinot grigio punctuate the restaurant's extensive wine list. Additionally, dining companions can cast aside games of napkin peek-a-boo and dance to live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Zaika Restaurant, Bar & Lounge dispatches halal meat and vegetarian Indian dishes to tables perched around a hardwood wraparound bar as patrons sink into petite leather chairs and plush booths. Diners savor lamb, chicken, and seafood that has been skewered, marinated in zesty blends, and seared in a traditional tandoor oven like Shrinky Dink maps of India crafted for PhD dissertations in geography. A painstakingly curated wine list, including organic libations, accentuates exotic flavors while six big-screen TVs and one behemoth 80-inch projection screen display athletic showdowns.
Meridian's seasonal menu draws inspiration from global bar bites made from all-natural and locally grown ingredients. Start with an order of bacon mac 'n' cheese with buttered panko ($8) or the almond-breaded cod fingers served with jalapeño tartar sauce ($12). For a refreshing post-triathlon meal, opt for the togarashi ahi-tuna niçoise salad with capers, tomatoes, Humboldt fog, and sesame-orange vinaigrette ($14) or quell carnivorous cravings with an all-natural beef burger served with cheddar or blue cheese ($9). The grilled bangers and mash ($13) will evoke sweet childhood memories of playing hopscotch outside the smoky pubs of Bangladesh and also will serve as a delicious stomach stretcher for a third course of sticky toffee pudding ($6) or a house-made ice-cream sandwich with mocha sauce ($6).

How to fill that awkward silence: 'I love you.' Your teen will hate it - and love it
Tonia is lying on the couch watching television. Her mother comes into the room to look for a pencil, finds one next to the magazines...
Keep your misery to yourself. Children deserve parents who shield them from the full force of adult suffering
Aidan was supposed to tidy up the house after school. But when his mother got home from a long day at work, she found her son sprawled on the couch, watching TV and eating tortilla chips while the place was still a disaster zone, the floor covered with crumbs and driblets of yellow gooey stuff that might be cheese spread. She lost it.

National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality
The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) is an organization that offers conversion therapy and other regimens that purport to change the sexual orientation of individuals who experience unwanted same-sex attraction. NARTH was founded in 1992 by Joseph Nicolosi, Benjamin Kaufman, and Charles Socarides. Its headquarters are in Encino, California, at the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic. Julie Hamilton is the current president of NARTH.[1] NARTH's leaders disagree with the holding of the world's major mental health organizations that homosexuality is not a disorder.[2][3][4][5]
NARTH was founded in 1992 by Benjamin Kaufman, Charles Socarides, and Joseph Nicolosi. In an article titled In Defense of the Need for Honest Dialogue, Kaufman wrote that the three of them founded NARTH because the American Psychiatric Association and similar professional organizations "had totally stifled the scientific inquiry that would be necessary to stimulate a discussion [about homosexuality]."[6] NARTH's leaders argue that the political atmosphere had changed, making it politically incorrect even to suggest the need for a dialogue that considers the question of the normality of homosexuality. Kaufman states that NARTH was formed in response to censorship of scientific investigation of politically unpopular views.[7][8]
The organization had 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, which was revoked by the Internal Revenue Service in September 2012 due to ongoing failure to file required paperwork.[9]
NARTH is a secular organization, differentiating it from other ex-gay groups that are primarily religious in nature. Nevertheless, NARTH often partners with religious groups,[10] such as Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing and Evergreen International in Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality. The NARTH website contains a resource list of theological articles.[11]
In July 2011, NARTH failed to pay its dues to the California Board for Behavioral Sciences and was removed from the list of groups that provide continuing education credits to therapists in California. NARTH had been an approved continuing education provider since 1998.[12]
Sigmund Freud Award/President's Award[edit]
Beginning in 1996, NARTH has given an award in recognition of a researcher's work, called the NARTH Sigmund Freud Award. In some years, the award is called the NARTH President's Award. The award is presented at NARTH's annual conference.

In 2003, PATH's leaders made NARTH a member of Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality.
Position of professional organizations on sexual orientation change efforts[edit]
In 2009 an American Psychological Association research summary[28] included the following statements:
The longstanding consensus of the behavioral and social sciences and the health and mental health professions is that homosexuality per se is a normal and positive variation of human sexual orientation.
SOCE [sexual orientation change efforts] has been controversial due to tensions between the values held by some faith-based organizations, on the one hand, and those held by lesbian, gay and bisexual rights organizations and professional and scientific organizations, on the other.
There are no studies of adequate scientific rigor to conclude whether recent SOCE do work to change a person's sexual orientation.
Some individuals and groups have promoted the idea of homosexuality as symptomatic of developmental defects or spiritual and moral failings and have argued that SOCE, including psychotherapy and religious efforts, could alter homosexual feelings and behaviors. Many of these individuals and groups appeared to be embedded within the larger context of conservative religious political movements that have supported the stigmatization of homosexuality on political or religious grounds.
No major mental health professional organization has sanctioned efforts to change sexual orientation and most of them have adopted policy statements cautioning the profession and the public about treatments that purport to change sexual orientation. These include the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American Counseling Association, National Association of Social Workers in the USA,[29] Royal College of Psychiatrists,[30] and Australian Psychological Society.[31]
The American Psychological Association and the Royal College of Psychiatrists expressed concerns that the positions espoused by NARTH are not supported by science and create an environment in which prejudice and discrimination can flourish.[30][32]
Gerald Schoenewolf controversy[edit]
NARTH received criticism from the Southern Poverty Law Center for Gerald Schoenewolf's essay, Gay Rights and Political Correctness: A Brief History,[33] in which the member of NARTH's Science Advisory Committee argued that "Africa at the time of slavery was still primarily a jungle... Life there was savage ... and those brought to America, and other countries, were in many ways better off." He also stated that the civil rights movement, the women's rights movement, and the gay rights movement were all "irrational" and "destructive."[34] Schoenewolf later clarified that "No person is better off enslaved, obviously... What I tried to say, before my words were twisted by that reporter, is that despite the clear and obvious evil of that practice, we tend to forget that many of the enslaved people had been first been sold into bondage by their fellow countrymen; so coming to America did bring about some eventual good. No social issue has all the 'good guys' lined up on one side and 'bad guys' on the other."[35]

Pros: Screws to motherboard. Cons: Contact area with processor smaller than the processor I have installed. Installation is somewhat difficult. Other Thoughts: I bought this because I had to replace a heatsink/fan combo that used plastic pins to attach to the motherboard. When I was servicing my machine, one of the plastic pins bent. The fan made a horrendous noise, despite cooling relatively well. I will never buy a heatsink with plastic attachments again. Did you find this review helpful? |

Akbar Ganji, called by some "Iran's most famous dissident," was a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But, troubled by the regime's repressive nature, he became an investigative journalist in the 1990s, writing for Iran's pro-democracy newspapers. Most notably, he traced the murders of dissident intellectuals to Iran's secret service. In 2000 Ganji was arrested, sentenced to six years in prison, and banned from working as a journalist. His eighty-day hunger strike during his last year in prison mobilized the international human rights community.
The Road to Democracy in Iran, Ganji's first book in English, demonstrates his lifelong commitment to human rights and democracy. A passionate call for universal human rights and the right to democracy from a Muslim perspective, it lays out the goals and means of Iran's democracy movement, why women's rights trump some interpretations of Islamic law, and how the West can help promote democracy in Iran (he strongly opposes U.S. intervention) and other Islamic countries.
Throughout the book Ganji argues consistently for universal rights based on our common humanity (and he believes the world's religions support that idea). But his arguments never veer into abstraction; they are rooted deeply in the realities of life in Islamic countries, and offer a clear picture of the possibilities for and obstacles to improving human rights and promoting democracy in the Muslim world.
About the Author
Akbar Ganji, called by some "Iran's most famous dissident," was a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Since his release from prison in March 2006, he has been traveling outside Iran, meeting with intellectuals and activists in the international human rights community. He is currently living in the United States.
"Tending toward the philosophical more than the programmatic, Ganji's aspirations—some idealistic, some practical—will resonate with all engaged with the human rights movement.", Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
"Akbar Ganji writes with the focus of a philosopher, the punch of a journalist, and the credibility of someone who has fought and suffered for the good. His words, which have cost him dearly, are luminous and moving."
—Philip Pettit, Princeton University
"Akbar Ganji's exhilarating and courageous book, both readable and philosophically deep, maps out a blueprint for reform in Iran that focuses on human rights and shows how Islam can support both democracy and sex equality. If there is reason for hope in the current situation, it is because of people like Ganji and books like this."
—Martha Nussbaum, Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics, University of Chicago
"Akbar Ganji's small and readable book is the most intelligent and accessible program for the non-violent creation of democracy and human rights in Iran. Ganji has mastered both Western thought and Iranian cultural possibilities, and is one of the first male Iranians to see the centrality of achieving equal status and treatment for Iranian women, and to appreciate women's struggles and activities. He also shows the self-defeating nature of aggressive threats to Iran by the U.S. and calls for a new U.S. policy toward Iran that might encourage democracy and peace."
—Nikki R. Keddie, Professor Emerita of Middle Eastern and Iranian History, University of California, Los Angeles
"Americans first heard about Akbar Ganji during his decade as a political prisoner. It was thrilling to hear him say, 'My broken face is the true face of the Islamic Republic of Iran.' His face is healed today, and his book, The Road to Democracy in Iran, reveals a powerful and original mind. Not only is he devoted to his country, Iran; he conceives Iran as a prism for seeing the whole modern world. He advances powerful arguments for reform in Islam, but he sees that the struggle for reform is just as urgent in Christianity, in Judaism, and in every other world religion.. He understands this struggle as a permanent condition of modern life. But he argues persuasively that modern men and women have the inner strength to wage this struggle. Akbar Ganji is an exemplary 'public intellectual'. He gives new life to the promise of Martin Luther King, 'We Shall Overcome'."
—Marshall Berman, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, The City College of New York
"Ganji goes beyond religion, ethnicity, or nationality in recognizing universality of concepts such as democracy and human rights. Thus he brings Iran back to the world, allying himself with democratic elements in his country no matter what their creed, and drawing freely upon the writings of democratic thinkers in the West."
"In this brief, lucid book Akbar Ganji advocates a gradual, persistent, non-violent effort of reform in Iran leading to a just, egalitarian democracy. What he so clearly describes as a program for Iran is in reality a program for all of us, for no society today lives up to the standards of global human rights that alone will bring peace to the world. This is a book we need to keep by our bedside and read once a month until we get closer to being the kind of society he describes."
—Robert N. Bellah Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

Imaging the Electrostatic Potential of Transmembrane Channels: Atomic Probe Microscopy of OmpF Porin Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 3, 1 March 2002, Pages 1667-1676 Ansgar Philippsen, Wonpil Im, Andreas Engel, Tilman Schirmer, Benoit Roux and Daniel J. Müller Abstract The atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to image native OmpF porin and to detect the electrostatic potential generated by the protein. To this end the OmpF porin trimers from Escherichia coli was reproducibly imaged at a lateral resolution of ∼0.5nm and a vertical resolution of ∼0.1nm at variable electrolyte concentrations of the buffer solution. At low electrolyte concentrations the charged AFM probe not only contoured structural details of the membrane protein surface but also interacted with local electrostatic potentials. Differences measured between topographs recorded at variable ionic strength allowed mapping of the electrostatic potential of OmpF porin. The potential map acquired by AFM showed qualitative agreement with continuum electrostatic calculations based on the atomic OmpF porin embedded in a lipid bilayer at the same electrolyte concentrations. Numerical simulations of the experimental conditions showed the measurements to be reproduced quantitatively when the AFM probe was included in the calculations. This method opens a novel avenue to determine the electrostatic potential of native protein surfaces at a lateral resolution better than 1nm and a vertical resolution of ∼0.1nm.

Tapping-Mode Atomic Force Microscopy Produces Faithful High-Resolution Images of Protein Surfaces Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 2, 1 August 1999, Pages 1150-1158 Clemens Möller, Mike Allen, Virgil Elings, Andreas Engel and Daniel J. Müller Abstract Compared to contact-mode atomic force microscopy (CMAFM), tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (TMAFM) has the advantage of allowing imaging surfaces of macromolecules, even when they are only weakly attached to the support. In this study, TMAFM is applied to two different regular protein layers whose structures are known to great detail, the purple membrane from Halobacterium salinarum and the hexagonally packed intermediate (HPI) layer from Deinococcus radiodurans, to assess the faithfulness of high-resolution TMAFM images. Topographs exhibited a lateral resolution between 1.1 and 1.5nm and a vertical resolution of ∼0.1nm. For all protein surfaces, TMAFM and CMAFM topographs were in excellent agreement. TMAFM was capable of imaging the fragile polypeptide loop connecting the transmembrane α-helices E and F of bacteriorhodopsin in its native extended conformation. The standard deviation (SD) of averages calculated from TMAFM topographs exhibited an enhanced minimum (between 0.1 and 0.9nm) that can be assigned to the higher noise of the raw data. However, the SD difference, indicating the flexibility of protein subunits, exhibited an excellent agreement between the two imaging modes. This demonstrates that the recently invented imaging-mode TMAFM has the ability to faithfully record high-resolution images and has sufficient sensitivity to contour individual peptide loops without detectable deformations.

Quantitative Membrane Electrostatics with the Atomic Force Microscope Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 6, 15 March 2007, Pages 1966-1974 Yi Yang, Kathryn M. Mayer and Jason H. Hafner Abstract The atomic force microscope (AFM) is sensitive to electric double layer interactions in electrolyte solutions, but provides only a qualitative view of interfacial electrostatics. We have fully characterized silicon nitride probe tips and other experimental parameters to allow a quantitative electrostatic analysis by AFM, and we have tested the validity of a simple analytical force expression through numerical simulations. As a test sample, we have measured the effective surface charge density of supported zwitterionic dioleoylphosphatidylcholine membranes with a variable fraction of anionic dioleoylphosphatidylserine. The resulting surface charge density and surface potential values are in quantitative agreement with those predicted by the Gouy-Chapman-Stern model of membrane charge regulation, but only when the numerical analysis is employed. In addition, we demonstrate that the AFM can detect double layer forces at a separation of several screening lengths, and that the probe only perturbs the membrane surface potential by <2%. Finally, we demonstrate 50-nm resolution electrostatic mapping on heterogeneous model membranes with the AFM. This novel combination of capabilities demonstrates that the AFM is a unique and powerful probe of membrane electrostatics. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1008 kb) |

Müller-Institute for Microscopic Structural Biology, Biozentrum, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 70, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland. Tel.: 0041-61-267-2261; Fax: 0041-61-267-2109.To achieve high-resolution topographs of native biological macromolecules in aqueous solution with the atomic force microscope (AFM) interactions between AFM tip and sample need to be considered. Short-range forces produce the submolecular information of high-resolution topographs. In contrast, no significant high-resolution information is provided by the long-range electrostatic double-layer force. However, this force can be adjusted by pH and electrolytes to distribute the force applied to the AFM tip over a large sample area. As demonstrated on fragile biological samples, adjustment of the electrolyte solution results in a local reduction of both vertical and lateral forces between the AFM tip and proteinous substructures. Under such electrostatically balanced conditions, the deformation of the native protein is minimized and the sample surface can be reproducibly contoured at a lateral resolution of 0.6nm.

A vegetarian diet probably won't cure your diabetes. But it may offer some benefits over a nonvegetarian diet — such as helping to better control your weight, reducing your risk of some diabetes-associated complications and possibly even making your body more responsive to insulin.
There's no single vegetarian eating plan. For example, some allow dairy products while others don't allow any animal products (vegans). The benefits of a vegetarian diet depend on the type of diet you choose and the food choices you make when following the diet. For most, however, eating a vegetarian diet:
If you're considering a vegetarian diet, it may be helpful to speak with a dietitian who can help you create an eating plan that provides all the necessary nutrients and the right number of calories to maintain a healthy weight. As with any diet, it's important to stay within an appropriate calorie range to lose weight if that's your goal.

Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
The White House the prize, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney raced through a final full day of campaigning on Monday through Ohio and other battleground states holding the keys to victory in a tight race. Both promised brighter days ahead for a nation still struggling with a sluggish economy and high joblessness.
"Our work is not done yet," Obama told a cheering crowd of nearly 20,000 in chilly Madison, Wis., imploring his audience to give him another four years.
Romney projected optimism as he neared the end of his six-year quest for the presidency. "If you believe we can do better. If you believe America should be on a better course. If you're tired of being tired ... then I ask you to vote for real change," he said in a Virginia suburb of the nation's capital.
With many of the late polls in key states tilting slightly against him, he decided to campaign on Election Day in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where he and Republicans made a big, late push.
Romney's team said he will visit Cleveland and Pittsburgh for get-out-the-vote efforts before he returns to Boston to await the outcome.
The fight to win Pennsylvania brought former President Bill Clinton to the battleground state on Monday, as he campaigned in the state's biggest cities to help Democrats try to fend off an aggressive, last-ditch attempt by Republicans to capture its prized 20 electoral votes.
In near-freezing temperatures in downtown Pittsburgh, Clinton played up Obama's efforts to save the American auto industry and his work with governors to respond to last week's destructive storm. In Philadelphia, he told a raucous crowd at the University of Pennsylvania's Palestra sports arena "to vote for your hopes and not for your fears."
The presidency aside, there are 33 Senate seats on the ballot today, and according to one Republican official, a growing sense of resignation among his party's rank and file that Democrats will hold their majority.
The situation was reversed in the House, where Democrats made no claims they were on the verge of victory in pursuit of the 25 seats they need to gain control.
National opinion polls in the presidential race made the popular vote a virtual tie.
In state-by-state surveys, it appeared Obama held small advantages in Nevada, Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin – enough to deliver a second term if they endured, but not so significant that they could withstand an Election Day surge by Romney supporters. Both men appealed to an ever smaller universe of undecided voters.
More than 30 million absentee or early ballots have been cast, including in excess of 3 million in Florida. The state also had a legal controversy, in the form of a Democratic lawsuit seeking an extension of time for pre-Election Day voting.
There were other concerns, logistical rather than legal.
Officials in one part of New Jersey delivered voting equipment to emergency shelters so voters displaced by Superstorm Sandy last week could cast ballots. New York City made arrangements for shuttle buses to provide transportation for some in hard-hit areas unable to reach their polling places.
Judging from the long early voting lines in some places and the comments made in others, the voters were more than ready to have their say.
"I watch the news all the time, and I am ready for it to be over," said Jennifer Walker, 38, of Columbus, Ohio, who said she took time off from work to attend the president's speech during the day in a show of support. "I feel like he is getting better with the economy. I don't think it's hopeless. It takes time."
But Bryan Dobes, 21, a University of Iowa student from suburban Chicago, voted for Romney on Monday and said unemployment and spending have been too high under Obama. "He promised a lot of hope and change, and I'm not seeing it," he said of the president.
"No retreat, no surrender," sang rock icon Bruce Springsteen, warming up Obama's crowd on a frosty morning outside the State Capitol in Madison, Wis. The Boss then boarded Air Force One for his first flight. "Pretty cool," he judged it.
Romney had Kid Rock and the Marshall Tucker Band in the wings for his late appearances in Ohio and New Hampshire.
"This is it," the challenger said in a last-minute emailed request for campaign donations.
"I will lead us out of this economic crisis by implementing pro-growth policies that will create 12 million new jobs. With your help, I will deliver real change and a real recovery. America will be strong again."
In his longest campaign day, Romney raced from Florida to a pair of speeches in Virginia to Ohio and then an election eve rally in New Hampshire.
Obama selected Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa for his final campaign day, an itinerary that reflected his campaign's decision to try and erect a Midwestern firewall against Romney's challenge.
Vice President Joe Biden and Republican running mate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin went through their final campaign paces, as well.
In Sterling, Va., not far from Washington, the vice president accused Republicans of running away from their record, but added, "a leopard can't change his spots."
Ryan started out in Reno, Nev., where he said the president has come up short in his promises to change Washington and repair the economy.

Uninstall the Windows Vista Upgrade Windows Vista does not include an uninstall feature, making the removal of Windows Vista a manual procedure that is not available in all configurations. The ability to perform a manual uninstall using the Windows.OLD folder depends on how Windows Vista is installed. In some situations, only a clean install of the previous operating system returns a computer to that operating system.
Due to the complexity and time required, it is not recommended to uninstall Windows Vista. If you wish to have Windows XP back on the computer, it should be installed from the Windows XP backup media. |

Can Technology Save the Military From a Data Deluge?
The U.S. military is drowning in data. This is how to save it from the flood
The U.S. military has a data problem. If knowing is half the battle then it's the half the Pentagon should never lose, at least in theory. But in practice, the military's data problem is significant, vexing, and given the current pace of acceleration, technologically intimidating. Just two years ago, there were roughly a dozen NATO aircraft flying surveillance missions over Afghanistan at any given time. Now, there are more than 50 Predator and Reaper drones in the air at once, and all of them are dumping fat streams of data to the ground all the time.
Meanwhile, more drones are joining the fights in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in the Horn of Africa and over Iraq and Yemen and elsewhere. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensors are proliferating on conventional manned aircraft. The data streams are outpacing the DoD's capacity to organize and store them and generating so much noise, so much unusable intel, that analysts can't sort the relevant information from the useless. And all this is happening in an environment where anything slower than real time can take a toll in human lives.
"We're swimming in sensors, and we need to be careful we don't drown in the data," says Dave Deptula, CEO and managing director for defense technology problem-solver MAV6. This isn't the first time Deptula has said this, and it won't be the last. In his previous post as the first deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, Lt. Gen. Deptula was in charge of planning and implementing the entire U.S. Air Force's ISR strategy, and he saw the data flood topping its levees firsthand.
"We're swimming in sensors, and we need to be careful we don't drown in the data.""The unavoidable truths are that data velocities are accelerating and the current way we handle data is really overwhelmed by this tsunami" Deptula says. "So we're going to have to begin exploring different ways to meet the growing challenges of hyper-scale workloads."
Simply growing the military's rackspace--and that's been much of the strategy for dealing with the problem to date--isn't going to tame the flood. The DoD doesn't just need new storage methods, but completely new concepts of operation that blend novel storage architectures, all kinds of digital semantics, and--critically--a healthy dose of artificial intelligence.
Someday soon, computer programs will view, tag, organize, and store hundreds and thousands of video streams simultaneously, deciding what sensor data is relevant to the fight at hand, what needs immediate attention, and what needs to be filed away. Language interfaces will let analysts instantly search their databases with natural language queries like something straight out of Star Trek. Drones themselves will even become computerized intelligence analysts, combing through their own data streams in realtime to highlight only the choicest bits of intel. These technologies are already in the works, and this is how technology will save the military from its technology.

Well, we knew that this was going to be the hard nut to crack when this system was first implemented. Our domestic taxes on wireless broadband access; that are higher in some states than taxes on liquor or cigarettes, are supposed to be going into building infrastructure specifically to combat these trends that are only going to get worse. Sadly, those taxes are not building anything except personal bank accounts for the masters of our universe. Those who think there is plenty of time to come up with some sort of magic bullet fix. But one simple thing is in the way of any magic bullet fix, and that's the fact that other countries' citizens have access to domestic consumer computer speeds that those who would normally be called on to come up with the big fix cannot access. And once again, America, China is laughing it's ass off about it, as is Japan and India. Our president SAYS that we need our citizens to stand up, dig in, and get creative in the face of the emerging third world...but we aren't ACTUALLY allowed to. Now that we are sending our latest airliners to those countries, they'll be able to pull off mass airlifting of troops when they decide to forcefully expand their borders, and considering that they ALL have been inside our most sensitive systems plenty of times, when they decide to it will be a fait accompli with the knowledge they've gained thus far. One more time, I'll make my doomcrier rounds; begging our nation to GET OFF THE TECHNOLOGY TIT, because just as in Viet Nam and all the other places since, we aren't being ALLOWED to win the field of contention in the new battlespace.

I am sure the list is 100s times longer than this.
We are very much already controlled by computers.
