Vision Impossible: Seeing is believing at Luksus
Cajoler of contrast, summoner of intergalactic flavor commentary, banker of the long shot, Canada ditcher—there are many ways to describe Daniel Burns, the fair-haired chef and co-owner of Luksus, a 26-seat tasting-menu-only restaurant in the backroom of a beer bar in Greenpoint. The most germane and exciting way, however, is as a new thinker. Mr. Burns is a thinker of new thoughts, a taster of new tastes. And his vision? It is the new vision. He is the new seer. Read More

Maryland freshman Stefon Diggs was named the ACC's co-specialist of the week after returning a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown on Saturday against North Carolina.
It was the second time Diggs was named the special teams player of the week by the conference and the fifth time he received a weekly award. He was the league's rookie of the week three times.
Diggs shared this week's honor with Florida State's Dustin Hopkins, who kicked a pair of field goals of at least 50 yards.

The tech industry leads the charge when it comes to adopting new ways to help businesses evolve quickly. That's why the most innovative high tech companies are connecting employees, partners, and consumers in new ways to align around customers like never before.
When everyone at your company is on the same page, they can solve problems faster, and do more to help customers. When Belkin connected its employees with Chatter—and eliminated lengthy email-based processes—the company shortened its quoting process from 72 to 24 hours. Customer satisfaction improved, and so did the bottom line. Belkin's story ›
Beyond communication and collaboration, new technologies can help you motivate and inspire employees like never before. Facebook brought social to its performance management approach, giving every employee a new way to recognize great work from peers in a transparent and real-time way. Facebook's story ›
Putting all of your data in one place—where everyone can access it, no matter where they are—is critical for succeeding in today's business world. And, when you bring together information from sales and service, you can collaborate to help customers like never before. OpenTable uses Salesforce for 360 degree views of 25,000+ restaurants, so every interaction's a great one. OpenTable's story ›
The Web has gone social—providing new ways to elevate your company and products. Build engaging communities, online support, custom ecommerce experiences, and innovative marketing campaigns on Facebook. Like Cisco, which created an online community where its customers can connect, submit questions, and get more engaged.
People are talking about your products on social networks. Are you listening? Monitor customer sentiment, identify top influencers, and get involved in the discussions. Dell listens, engages, and acts—elevating the Dell brand and customer relationships in the process. It's how it changed 34% of its "demoters" to "promoters."
Imagine what your products would say if they could talk to your customers—and to you. It's already happening: Connected products can now communicate status updates, reports, and other critical information in real time. IT networks from Enterasys talk to human networks via social channels, so the right people know right away when there's an issue that needs attention. Enterasys's story ›

Photometric selection of Type Ia supernovae in the Supernova Legacy Survey |
For the SNLS collaboration(s) |
(2011-10) |
We present a sample of 485 photometrically identified Type Ia supernova candidates mined from the first three years of data of the CFHT SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The images were submitted to a deferred processing independent of the SNLS real-time detection pipeline. Light curves of all transient events were reconstructed in the gM, rM, iM and zM filters and submitted to automated sequential cuts in order to identify possible supernovae. Pure noise and long-term variable events were rejected by light curve shape criteria. Type Ia supernova identification relied on event characteristics fitted to their light curves assuming the events to be normal SNe Ia. The light curve fitter SALT2 was used for this purpose, assigning host galaxy photometric redshifts to the tested events. The selected sample of 485 candidates is one magnitude deeper than that allowed by the SNLS spectroscopic identification. The contamination by supernovae of other types is estimated to be 4%. Testing Hubble diagram residuals with this enlarged sample allows us to measure the Malmquist bias due to spectroscopic selections directly. The result is fully consistent with the precise Monte Carlo based estimate used to correct SN Ia distance moduli in the SNLS 3-year cosmological analyses. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of a photometric selection of high redshift supernovae with known host galaxy redshifts, opening interesting prospects for cosmological analyses from future large photometric SN Ia surveys. |

African American Genealogy
Interest in genealogical research once seemed to be relatively confined to the descendants of the first wave of settlers to arrive in this country, i.e., to "Anglo-Saxons"; therefore many genealogical research manuals concentrated on such emigration, to the neglect of other ethnic groups. The popularity of Roots, both as a book and a television miniseries, heightened the genealogical interest not only of African Americans but of many other Americans of varied ethnic heritages.
Guides to research formulated for particular ethnic or religious groups may be located by consulting the online catalog under the name of the group or nationality (e.g., "African Americans--Genealogy," "German-Americans--Genealogy").
The following are a few such research aids.

Consists of the data files of many contributors in the same format as originally created by their compilers. No software is resident on the CD and no attempt was made to standardize the software with which each contributor worked. The files convert readily to formats of other applications. Hall has created and edited a collection of well over 100,000 records from countless civil documents, manuscripts, and published censuses to provide a look into the lives of Africans and peoples of African descent in Louisiana, as well as of their owners and freers, from earliest colonial times through 1860. |

I feel like all i do is shop- parent of a toddler.
There are a million shopping apps in the market but most are a mess.
if you can easily make your list, it's difficult to make alterations in the store or some don't allow you to add prices- to tally your balance as you shop.
some of the ones that do a good job of listing and tallying- do a horrible job of starting over after the trip is over.
Since i've gotten this smartphone i've been looking for an app like HANDY SHOPPER from my palm pda days. Well i finally found a good one.

Manistee School District Sinking Fund Levy Increase (May 2012)
From Ballotpedia
May 8, 2012 ballot in the Manistee school district area which is in Manistee County.
This measure was defeated
This measure sought to increase the current school levy by a rate of $.95 per $,1000 of assessed value for a period of three years in order to further pay for a sinking fund which will help repair buildings in the district.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Manistee Area Public Schools, Manistee and Mason Counties, Michigan, be increased by and the board of education be authorized to levy not to exceed .95 mills ($0.95 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 3 years, 2012, 2013 and 2014, to create a sinking fund for the construction or repair of school buildings and all other purposes authorized by law; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2012 is approximately $488,063? |

Heavy duty t-case crossmember
Well i bought some steel yesturday, went a little over board and cam back with a piece of 2x5 1/4" wall tubing and other stuff. Im going to make this into a tcase crossmember.
Whats your opinion? |
May 17th, 2006, 09:22 PM | #2 |
Covered in mud...
Should definately be strong!
I'm running a Front Range Offroad center section on mine, custom arms, bushings at the frame. It transmits a bit too much vibration. I'm going to be going flat-belly this summer, hopefully, or as close as I can get(my double adapter isn't clocked ).. My advice is to raise your drivetrain as much as possible.. every inch under there helps. |
May 17th, 2006, 09:36 PM | #3 |
Bike Dude
This alone will give 2 inches and keeps the drivetrain in its stock position. PLus it should be overkill and uses the stock mount for some comfort. Should be easy to mod when i do tuck the drivetrain... for now i just want it to run.
Still waiting on the machine shop for my block |
June 2nd, 2006, 08:06 PM | #6 |
Bike Dude
good point... im starting as soon as i get my engine back... its been almost a month at the shop....
I mihg tjust try it flat we'll see. Send me some pics of what your doing when you get to it |
June 4th, 2006, 06:59 PM | #7 |
Parts Galore Spokesmodel
well I made a lo-pro crossmember and here's what I came up with
it raises the T-case an inch and gives 3¼" more clearance than stock. I retained the stock mount a for vibe control. slightly booty fab but it'll work. made from 3"x¼" anlge iron, butchered and TIG'd back together. it is pretty strong as I picked the entire truck up by it. |

Kenny Rogers may be over 70, but heâs not slowing down. Over the weekend, Rogers showed up at both of the regionâs major music festivals.
Rogers played four songs for a sold-out crowd at LP Field on Saturday night during the CMA Music Festival, and then high-tailed it to Manchester, Tenn., for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on Sunday.
Before his set on Sunday, Rogers told Fuse.tv that he was âthrilled to be here,â but âout of his comfort zone.â
âI think thatâs good,â he explains. âI think you have to step out of your comfort zone to grow.â
âThe Gamblerâ singer seemed to be over his jitters by the time he stepped on stage. He cracked jokes with the crowd about his age, their singing ability, and his somewhat randomness at the largely rock festival.
âWhatâs wrong with this picture?â the singer asked at the beginning of his set. âBut I belong here. Know how I know? I have a bracelet.â
He even had a surprise for the audience. Rogersâ longtime friend and international singing star Lionel Richie walked out during the show and performed âLady,â as well as a solo version of his hit âAll Night Long.â (âLadyâ is featured on Richieâs country duets project, Tuskegee, which is the best-selling album released this year.)
Later that night, it was Rogers who served as the surprise. He showed up during Phishâs set on the main stage and performed âThe Gamblerâ amidst chants of âKenny, Kenny.â

"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe films a scene for his new film "Horns" on November 1, 2012 in Vancouver, Canada. Radcliffe is loving this role, saying "It's a metamorphosis story, but the thing that excited me was that tonally it wasn't like anything I had read. It was both incredibly dark--like really dark and violent, and full of classic horror stuff--but also it has a very dry sense of humor." Quite a departure from his work in "Harry Potter!"

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I ordered these for my bridal shower invitations and they make the envelope look so chic and festive. As always, great quality and wonderful service. I love them!"
"I loved these labels to use on my wedding invitations, they are elegant and understated. Best of all the customer service team were very helpful in adjusting the colors to my needs!!!!"
"I originally purchased these to put on the bachelorette party invites but ended up choosing a different invitation. They no longer match the invites but they are super cute and functional as a regular address label. And they were super affordable and easy to personalize. I changed the yellow border to more of a poppy red/orange."
"Loved these but had to return them because they were too large for my Save-the-Date Post cards. The product also arrived wrinkled with some damaged during packaging. Service agent was very nice and accommodating when I inquired about returning them."
"We weren't planning on getting these but ended up going for them and man am I glad we did. They are simple, elegant and will add a nice touch to our invites!"

The Burden
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving healthcare treatment for other conditions. These infections related to medical care can be devastating and even deadly. As the nation's health protection agency, CDC is committed to helping all Americans receive the best and safest care when they receive healthcare services.
CDC strives to understand how HAIs happen and to develop appropriate interventions. HAIs are an important public health problem. Every day, about 1 in every 20 hospitalized patients has an infection caused by receiving medical care.

About Miniature Horses
Miniature horses are a perfect way to introduce young children to equines. They are much less expensive to purchase and maintain as well as less intimidating to children (and perhaps their parents too!) Did you know:
- Larger Minis can be ridden by children up to 60lbs
- They can also drive a cart with an adult passenger!
- Minis need much less room than their bigger cousins both stable and pasture wise.
- Please click on the links in this website to learn more about miniature horses and their needs. And see you soon!
Mini Horse Maintenance
Purchase Price- Varies, $800-200,000
Feed Costs- Hay and Grain About $25 per month
Farrier Costs- $20-30 every 8-12wks and no shoes required!
Vet Costs- Same as a full size horse
De-Worming- $4 every 6-8wks
Grooming- Minis should be brushed daily (same as a big horse) to keep their coats healthy!
Hardiness- They are hardy and need no winter blankets if they're not clipped in winter

The post-game message sent on Tuesday night by Michel Therrien seemed simple. We came to get two points, so mission accomplished, off to Sunrise for the Panthers next. Yet, the wild finish to the game may not tell such a simple story. Therrien admitted the team played well for 45 minutes, but allowed the Lightning back into the game - a habit they do not wish to form - after allowing third period leads to disappear for the third time in the last four games. On Wednesday, the Canadiens practiced in Sunrise in preparation for their contest against the Panthers on Thursday night, with a focus on some fine details.
Therrien also addressed the need for the Canadiens to be better in the face-off circle, something they have struggled with this year, saying his main concern is losing the draw cleanly. He wants his players to continue battling for pucks in the circle. Carey Price is expected to get the start in goal.
The lines remained the same. Bourque-Plekanec-GiontaPrust-Desharnais-ColePacioretty-Galchenyuk-GallagherMoen-Eller-ArmstrongWhite Markov-EmelinGorges-DiazBouillon-SubbanWeber-Kaberle
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Mechanosensing through Cooperative Interactions between Myosin II and the Actin Crosslinker Cortexillin I Current Biology, Volume 19, Issue 17, 15 September 2009, Pages 1421-1428 Yixin Ren, Janet C. Effler, Melanie Norstrom, Tianzhi Luo, Richard A. Firtel, Pablo A. Iglesias, Ronald S. Rock and Douglas N. Robinson Summary Background Mechanosensing governs many processes from molecular to organismal levels, including during cytokinesis where it ensures successful and symmetrical cell division. Although many proteins are now known to be force sensitive, myosin motors with their ATPase activity and force-sensitive mechanical steps are well poised to facilitate cellular mechanosensing. For a myosin motor to experience tension, the actin filament must also be anchored. Results Here, we find a cooperative relationship between myosin II and the actin crosslinker cortexillin I where both proteins are essential for cellular mechanosensory responses. Although many functions of cortexillin I and myosin II are dispensable for cytokinesis, all are required for full mechanosensing. Our analysis demonstrates that this mechanosensor has three critical elements: the myosin motor where the lever arm acts as a force amplifier, a force-sensitive bipolar thick-filament assembly, and a long-lived actin crosslinker, which anchors the actin filament so that the motor may experience tension. We also demonstrate that a Rac small GTPase inhibits this mechanosensory module during interphase, allowing the module to be primarily active during cytokinesis. Conclusions Overall, myosin II and cortexillin I define a cellular-scale mechanosensor that controls cell shape during cytokinesis. This system is exquisitely tuned through the enzymatic properties of the myosin motor, its lever arm length, and bipolar thick-filament assembly dynamics. The system also requires cortexillin I to stably anchor the actin filament so that the myosin motor can experience tension. Through this cross-talk, myosin II and cortexillin I define a cellular-scale mechanosensor that monitors and corrects shape defects, ensuring symmetrical cell division.

α-Catenin and IQGAP Regulate Myosin Localization to Control Epithelial Tube Morphogenesis in Dictyostelium Developmental Cell, Volume 23, Issue 3, 11 September 2012, Pages 533-546 Daniel J. Dickinson, Douglas N. Robinson, W. James Nelson and William I. Weis Summary Apical actomyosin activity in animal epithelial cells influences tissue morphology and drives morphogenetic movements during development. The molecular mechanisms leading to myosin II accumulation at the apical membrane and its exclusion from other membranes are poorly understood. We show that in the nonmetazoan Dictyostelium discoideum, myosin II localizes apically in tip epithelial cells that surround the stalk, and constriction of this epithelial tube is required for proper morphogenesis. IQGAP1 and its binding partner cortexillin I function downstream of α- and β-catenin to exclude myosin II from the basolateral cortex and promote apical accumulation of myosin II. Deletion of IQGAP1 or cortexillin compromises epithelial morphogenesis without affecting cell polarity. These results reveal that apical localization of myosin II is a conserved morphogenetic mechanism from nonmetazoans to vertebrates and identify a hierarchy of proteins that regulate the polarity and organization of an epithelial tube in a simple model organism.

Cortexillins, Major Determinants of Cell Shape and Size, Are Actin-Bundling Proteins with a Parallel Coiled-Coil Tail Cell, Volume 86, Issue 4, 23 August 1996, Pages 631-642 Jan Faix, Michel Steinmetz, Heike Boves, Richard A. Kammerer, Friedrich Lottspeich, Ursula Mintert, John Murphy, Alexander Stock, Ueli Aebi and Günther Gerisch Summary Cortexillins I and II of D. discoideum constitute a novel subfamily of proteins with actin-binding sites of the α-actinin/spectrin type. The C-terminal halves of these dimeric proteins contain a heptad repeat domain by which the two subunits are joined to form a two-stranded, parallel coiled coil, giving rise to a 19 nm tail. The N-terminal domains that encompass a consensus actin-binding sequence are folded into globular heads. Cortexillin-linked actin filaments form preferentially anti-parallel bundles that associate into meshworks. Both cortexillins are enriched in the cortex of locomoting cells, primarily at the anterior and posterior ends. Elimination of the two isoforms by gene disruption gives rise to large, flattened cells with rugged boundaries, portions of which are often connected by thin cytoplasmic bridges. The double-mutant cells are multinucleate owing to a severe impairment of cytokinesis. Summary | Full Text | PDF (1856 kb) |

Myosin II is a central mechanoenzyme in a wide range of cellular morphogenic processes. Its cellular localization is dependent not only on signal transduction pathways, but also on mechanical stress. We suggest that this stress-dependent distribution is the result of both the force-dependent binding to actin filaments and cooperative interactions between bound myosin heads. By assuming that the binding of myosin heads induces and/or stabilizes local conformational changes in the actin filaments that enhances myosin II binding locally, we successfully simulate the cooperative binding of myosin to actin observed experimentally. In addition, we can interpret the cooperative interactions between myosin and actin cross-linking proteins observed in cellular mechanosensation, provided that a similar mechanism operates among different proteins. Finally, we present a model that couples cooperative interactions to the assembly dynamics of myosin bipolar thick filaments and that accounts for the transient behaviors of the myosin II accumulation during mechanosensation. This mechanism is likely to be general for a range of myosin II-dependent cellular mechanosensory processes.

Improv can help leaders become more self-aware while fine tuning soft skills like listening and relationship building.
Improvisation, or "improv," isn't just for laughs. As is turns out, hidden beneath the sketches seen on popular shows like Saturday Night Live or Chicago's famous Second City are skills leaders and business executives could use, especially in today's frenetic business environment.
That's why business schools at esteemed institutions such as Duke, MIT and UCLA have all made investments in improv training. It's not that executives these days need to be funny or able to act — although some might argue it couldn't hurt — but the skills used in improv are rooted in communication, influence, engagement, listening, relationship building and awareness.To Bob Kulhan, CEO of improv consultancy Business Improvisations, the root of improv isn't comedy but the ability to react and be present in the moment — and both are skills he said business executives must have."[Improv] is adapting — you're reacting and adapting," said Kulhan, who is also an adjunct professor at Duke and Columbia University in New York.
When it comes to developing so-called soft skills in leadership development, Kulhan said improv is essentially a forum for practice. He said learning leaders could bring some elements of improv training to bolster soft skill development, an area where many would argue rising leaders could use the most improvement.Kulhan said the improv training he offers is all custom, meaning the training should fit to an organization's needs. Some may use it for team building or as a fun, social activity. But the real benefit is when improv is used to drive improved leadership behaviors.Kulhan offered an example exercise he called the one-word story.With a group of as little as two people and as many as 10, a story is told one word at a time, with each person pausing between words and adding to the story. The act of completing each sentence, Kulhan said, does not belong to one person; it belongs to the group."When the group is acting authentically, the story moves actively and is still complementary," Kulhan said. Even in a two-person team, the skills it would take to do it effectively are focus, concentration [and] not being married to your own thoughts."Related Articles
