Located off site, we maintain a full machine shop where we design and construct the tooling necessary to properly rebuild your turbo pump.
We pride ourselves on good old fashioned mechanical know how and 18+ years of applied high vacuum techniques to ensure proper repair of your turbomolecular pump.
The difference is a precision balanced turbo pump that will run as smooth and quiet just like when you bought it new from the OEM.
Typical residual unbalance acceleration levels measured at the inlet flange are less than 2 m/s^2 but often measured to be less than 1 m/s^2.
This small measured amplitude is a difference you will notice. We at Sertec like to say "Turbo pumps should be seen and not heard!" Highest quality replacement parts, such as permanently lubricated ceramic bearings, are used in all repairs.
We work with one of the best bearing suppliers in the country, and the result of our combined efforts have produced some of the best aftermarket bearings available to the third party turbomolecular pump repair industry.
Many of my competitors use bearings that Sertec, Inc.helped develop!

Beer events filling up the Ottawa events calendar
- Ottawa Travel Guide
- |
- Friday, 16 November 2012 17:05
Have a penchant for Ottawa's craft beer scene? After checking in to an Ottawa hotel, it's time for travellers to fill their itinerary with events that are sure to keep their craving for a refreshing pint of beer at bay. Ticketed dinners, brewery openings and tastings are what's coming up this winter, and seats are filling up fast.
Beer lovers who travel to Ontario this year may want to leave room in their schedule for these frothy, bubbly and all-around awesome events:
Christmas Tails at Russell Curling Club
Situated just Southeast of Ottawa, the city of Russell is an ideal place to drive, especially during the winter when the trees are topped with a light layer of fluffy snow, and during Christmas Tails on November 18, visitors can get cozy by the fire as they drink wines made just around the corner in Prince Edward County, as well as beer from local areas. All of the proceeds from this fundraising event go toward replenishing and perpetuating the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary.
Wine vs. Beer at Farbs Kitchen & Wine Bar
When wine and beer enter the ring, it's time for the ultimate throwdown. While each have their own inherent qualities, there are still those who prefer one over the other as a matter of personal taste. But for visitors who want to dabble in another libation, the Wine vs. Beer event at Farbs Kitchen & Wine Bar on November 21 could potentially convert devoted beer or wine lovers to the other side. Each libation will be paired with a delicious dish to bring out even more flavours.
Grand opening of Beyond the Pale Brewing Company
Three cheers for yet another brewing company opening in Ottawa! Beyond the Pale Brewing Company is opening its doors on November 29 and offering four brews: The Darkness (oatmeal stout), Pink Fuzz (grapefruit wheat), Rye Guy (IPA) and Imperial Super Guy (double IPA). Visitors can fill up growlers once the brewery's opened its doors and take them back to their charming Ottawa accommodations to sample the delicious brews one at a time to savour every flavour note.
Tap Takeover at The Wellington Gastropub
Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. offers visitors and residents some seriously incredible libations, and for one day only, travellers will have the chance to try 13 beers on tap. The Tap Takeover at the Wellington Gastropub will not only feature Beau's impeccable drinks, but will also include an art exhibit and delicious bar food.

Don't Buy Art, Buy Drinks: Friday at Alembic and Beretta
With my rapidly advancing age, marital state and experience working at Cantina on many Fridays over the last year, I have largely stopped going out on weekend nights. Bars are just too crowded, too loud. You know . . . too "too." And I don't even have kids.
But I had friend in town from LA this weekend who was interested in the SF cocktail scene, so Friday was a good chance to observe the weekend nightlife at a couple of the city's more happening cocktail outposts.
What did I discover? How lame I've been. Friday night was not so terrible. Maybe it's the economy, maybe it's February, but both Alembic and Beretta were busy, but not uncomfortably so. And the crowds all seemed made up of lively, interesting and polite people. I had fun. And the drinks, naturally, were exceptional.
Here's a note on what I imbibed. I was in the mood for brown spirits, so I stuck to American whiskey drinks. I love the combo of bourbon or rye with apples--just seems so American--and was thus obviously compelled by Alembic's "Still Life with Apples, After Cezanne." Evan Williams Bourbon combines with a punchy gastrique fashioned from maple syrup and the lot is topped with a head of smoked apple cider foam and a sprig of thyme. Elegant, balanced, emminently delicious. And a good smoky nose gets me every time. A good way to start my night. I didn't photograph the cocktail, given how dim it was in there, so I'm including a reproduction of Cézanne's painting. Given the price of fine art these days, it's much cheaper just to drink well.
I followed up the apple drink with an improvisation from Daniel, Alembic's excellent bar chief. Served up, it was composed of rye whiskey, bitters and yellow Chartreuse. I gave him the thumbs up for that on my way out, and he called out (over the rapidly crowding bar) that when he doesn't know what to do, he just adds a little Chartreuse. Good advice for all you kids at home.
A cab ride over to Beretta got me another rye drink and a seat at the bar. I ordered a classic, the Monte Carlo, which was really just a slight variation on what Daniel had improvised for me at Alembic: rye whiskey, a liqueur made by French monks (Benedictine this time instead of Chartreuse), bitters and an orange twist, served up. Brilliantly simple, perfectly delicious. It's an elegant cocktail--crisp and dry enough to still be suave, but round and strong enough to help you "get your drink on" in style.
Beretta was thinning out a bit as we finished, around midnight. And, for once, I didn't have to wait to get in. And for me--especially on a Friday night--that a good thing.

Winds: Northwest 16
It is the home stretch in the 2010 election season and this is the time when candidates begin to say and do strange things in the hopes of winning office.
Just this week, I read with a mix of disdain and amusement the attack on my good friend and state House colleague Representative John Yates by his Democratic opponent.
For those that don't know him, John Yates is the only World War II veteran serving in the Georgia General Assembly. Read More»
Daniel Allen's letter on Sept. 29 both resonates and disturbs me. I agree with him that residents with gas-powered carts should not have to worry about a vote to outlaw them.
That issue is to me, an example of our council hard at work on a non-issue.
While I don't like gas powered carts, the noise or their smell, I don't support taking that right away. Read More»
I am extremely concerned that other Fayette citizens won't have the opportunity to submit comments concerning the latest Fayette County Transportation Plan within the specified time period.
If folks don't know to look on the county website for this latest transportation plan, they won't be able to take advantage of the opportunity. I have no hopes that anyone's comments will amount to a hill of beans where our current commissioners are concerned, but at least the citizenry will have been informed about the plan. Read More»
Cal Thomas' article published in Wednesday's Citizen is a very well articulated argument that people should be educated (by Republicans once they are back in power) to fend for themselves in a world dominated by wealthy corporate interests who relentlessly endeavor to mold government into something ineffectual that can be manipulated by them.
It is just another well argued bad idea in a seemingly endless stream of propaganda generated by the conservative right that seeks to improve the circumstances of the wealthy at the expense of the majority. Read More»
In 2005, the Georgia Legislature passed the "Voter ID" Bill that requires voters, when they vote, to present photo identification of the voter.
This is a common sense requirement to protect the value of the votes of the legitimate folks. When non-qualified people vote (dead or alive), or when qualified people vote multiple times, the votes of genuine Georgia voters are cancelled. That's us. Read More»
As a candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives, I would like to make the citizens of Fayette County aware of the national non-partisan voter education movement called Project Vote Smart (www.votesmart.org).
This group, together with CNN, sent out questionnaires for the 2010 Political Courage Test to all candidates nationally, asking them to take a stance on tough issues and submit their responses for publication on the Project Vote Smart website, where voters can familiarize themselves with the candidates and make informed decisions.

In seventh and eighth grade, I was completely infatuated by this beautiful young lady named Melissa. She had it all with angelic features, a warm personality and a sincerity that I adored.
Melissa and I were in the same school and attended the same church, Embry Hills United Methodist Church in DeKalb County. Read More»
When I was a young boy, we used to go to the local theater every Saturday to watch cowboy and Indian movies. Those "savages" were always the bad people, killing people that were heading westward on wagon trains. In those years, I had also heard the term "Indian giver," but rarely gave any thought to its true meaning: Native Americans, on a routine basis, were tricked into surrendering their valuable "untitled" real estate, for trivial items of low value.

I am not surprised at the result of the vote to eliminate the voice command option here in PTC. I guess if the new chief of police wanted the change, the council was obliged to accommodate his request, even though none of the reported dog bites were from dogs walking off leash but dogs who escaped from their yard.
There were complaints of a dog jumping in a golf cart, or bumping into a child — "dangerous," indeed. Complaints from a few has resulted in a big change for many responsible dog owners. Read More»
Eternal vigilance: This truly is the price we pay for democracy. Under the impression the City Council had put to rest any proposal for a new law concerning the control of dogs, my wife and I departed for England where unleashed dogs are practically invited to sit at the restaurant table for Sunday roast. Lo and behold, we were shocked to find that the new ordinance had not only not been placed in trash, but had been considered and passed unanimously by our "conservative Republican" City Council.

A search engine can be a Web site's best friend. A listing near the top of Yahoo or Google could bring more eyeballs to your site than e-mail, banner ads, print media, and even television ads. And the best part is, search engines don't cost you a dime.
That being said, getting your listing to the top, where it's most likely to be seen, is not easy. You need to understand search engines' idiosyncratic ways of registering sites. You need to know how to hardwire your own site to make it show up when they comb the Net for targets. You need to understand when and why competitors outrank you.
Maintaining a top search listing as thousands of new Web sites hit the Net every week is like clambering up a hill that keeps getting steeper. To keep your site from tumbling to the bottom, we've pulled together our best stuff on search engine optimization, including some stories from content partners iProspect.com and workz.com.

"Persistent organic pollutants are chemicals of substantial international concern," Noelle Selin, the project's lead researcher and assistant professor in MIT's Engineering Systems Division and Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, says. "For emerging contaminants in the Arctic, we need to know more about their sources, environmental behavior, and transport pathways in order to regulate them more effectively."
Selin and Carey Friedman, a postdoctoral associate at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, had their latest results published last week in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. The study, Long-Range Atmospheric Transport of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A Global 3-D Model Analysis Including Evaluation of Arctic Sources, describes the researchers' development of a detailed 3-D atmospheric model used to track the day-to-day transport of chemicals. Specifically, they tracked PAHs — toxic byproducts of burning wood, coal, oil and other forms of energy that remain in the atmosphere for less time than other persistent organic pollutants regulated by global standards.
"Even though our model estimates lifetimes less than a day, that's still long enough for these PAHs to travel long distances and have potentially damaging effects," says Friedman, the study's lead author, noting that some of these chemicals are known carcinogens that could cause cancer. "So PAHs may be a good case study of how we regulate long-range transport."
Friedman's work will be an important foundation for ongoing work in Selin's research group at MIT, in collaboration with the University of Rhode Island and the Harvard School of Public Health. Together the researchers will be exploring the global transport of other contaminants in the Arctic, such as chemicals used in stain-resistant carpets and non-stick pans. In research going forward, Selin and her team will extend the model created in their recent analysis that allows them to track chemicals with much greater precision.
"These more complex models are showing what simple models aren't, such as daily fluctuations of pollutants in specific locations," Friedman says, "So while the simple models are important for some aspects of the policy process, they may not provide enough information to base these types of important decisions off of."
The presence of these pollutants in the Arctic is important for several reasons. First, the researchers say there's a very real health concern. Organic pollutants typically condense and rain down into Arctic regions. Once they mix with other chemicals, it's unknown what danger they could pose to animals and humans, especially in concert with climate change stressors in the Arctic. Already, these chemicals are known to build up in the fat of whales, seals and other animals — a main source of food for people living in these high latitude regions.
At the same time, the practices that create some of these chemicals such as gas and oil exploration and shipping are expected to increase in the Arctic. As they do, it's important to understand how pollutants traveling from distant sources exacerbate the problem, and how climate changes can affect future contamination.
"Climate change and contaminants are both substantial present and future threats to the Arctic, and our research can ultimately help leaders make better policies to protect this unique environment," Selin says.

Texans' offense still uneven, but making progress
One offensive TD by the Texans is unlikely to cut it in Foxborough Sunday, but at least the group showed signs of breaking through in the wild-card round victory over the Bengals.
Jean has emerged as the leading candidate to fill the No. 3 receiver slot behind Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter. And coach Gary Kubiak foresees great things down the road for the 24-year-old Jean, who leads the Texans with six receptions in the preseason.|||||||
In 2009, Houston took a chance by signing undrafted free agent Arian Foster. Foster led the NFL in rushing in 2010 and made his second Pro Bowl last season. Like Foster back then, Jean is just worried about making the final roster now.
Jean has landed on inured reserve with a shoulder injury.|||||||
Jean, an undrafted rookie from Florida Atlantic, was a bright spot in the early parts of training camp according to the Texans' official website.

Men use strong first half to run past Oberlin
OBERLIN, Ohio (January 2, 2003) The Wilmington College Quakers outscored the Oberlin Yeomen 37-18 in the first half en-route to a 68-47 victory for the visitors. Greg Liggens (Toledo/Scott) led the Quakers with a game-high 18 points, shooting 7-of-10 from the field.
The Quakers (3-8), who never trailed in the contest, got their first points from a Josh Rohrbacher (Columbus/Beechcroft) three point basket. After an Oberlin jumper that cut the deficit to one, the Green and White went on a 22-5 run to give the team a double-figure advantage, one that they would not give up for the rest of the game. The first half lead would grow to as many as 20, and ended at 19, 37-18.
In the second half Oberlin (0-8) got on the board first, but it was not enough, as the Quakers outscored the Yeomen 31-29 in the second stanza, ending the game up by 21 at 68-47.
Liggens led all scorers with 18 points while Will Bruce (Cleveland/Benedictine) and Adam Weber (Peebles/Peebles) chipped in with 11 points apiece. Liggens and Bruce each pulled down a team leading six rebounds while Dave Hudson (Bucyrus/Col. Crawford) dished out a game-high five assists.
Oberlin was led by Bosko Tomasevic, who scored 14 points and pulled down nine rebounds in the contest.
The next game for the Green and White is set for Wednesday, January 8, when the team plays host to Muskingum College with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m.

Plot Summary:
28 years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's "District 9" as the world's nations argued over what to do with them.
Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare � they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable � he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Renegade Animation
The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (February 2013) |
Renegade Animation is an animation studio, located in Glendale, California, which currently specializes in Macromedia Flash/Toon Boom animation. It was founded by former Disney and Warner Bros. animator and director Darrell Van Citters and his business partner Ashley Postelwaite in 1992.
Initially they produced mostly commercial work, beginning with the second "Hare Jordan" spot for Nike, which featured Bugs Bunny as his own alter-ego and Michael Jordan as Air Jordan, as well as numerous spots for Cheetos, Kellogg's Honey Smacks, and Kellogg's Rice Krispies. In the mid-'90s, they moved into internet cartoons, and produced Will Ryan's "Elmo Aardvark: Outer Space Detective".
They have since branched out into television, and are perhaps most well known as the producers of cartoon series Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and The Mr. Men Show for Cartoon Network. The Tom and Jerry Show, a show featuring Tom and Jerry, will air on Cartoon Network sometime in 2014. They also co-produced the live-action/Traditionally-animated telefilm Re-Animated with the Cartoon Network Studios.
They produced the animation for an animated short A Dairy Tale: The Three Little Pigs, which was released specially on the DVD for 2004 Disney film Home on the Range.

Interesting comparison. I think there are a few differences, though - for one thing, Ka'aihue looked the part of an MLB slugger. 6'4", 235 lb with unquestioned strength, and 4 years of Triple-A Omaha where he absolutely mashed the ball (though undoubtedly with a lot of K's and other holes in his swing). But he was also a 15th round draft pick, and the organization knew that either Billy Butler or Eric Hosmer was going to be their 1B of the future. Ka'aihue did get a cup of tea in the majors and didn't look all that great, but he's still only been in a grand total of 126 MLB games. But yes, more likely than not, he is a prototypical "4-A" player.
Slama doesn't look the part of an MLB reliever, or even a successful AAA reliever, for that matter. You can look at Ka'aihue and imagine him hitting 30 HR's, albeit with a terrible average, but you can't look at a sub-90 mph fastball and imagine Slama having a 9.00 K/9. Yet, the success is there, and very consistently so in AAA baseball. And unlike Ka'aihue, it's not like you have to take playing time away from Billy Butler or Eric Hosmer to put Anthony Slama in the Twins bullpen. You simply have to remove a Jeff Gray-type reliever and give Slama a bunch of mopup time in meaningless games to get some prolonged sense of whether his "stuff" works on real hitters or not.
That's what makes it so frustrating in the case of Slama that they haven't done that - nobody can tell what the downside is, even if the upside may not be all that great.

Tucson, 2012, Nov 18
On Sunday, November 18, Speed Rack made it's first ever trip to Arizona for the second stop of the Speed Rack 2012-2013 National Tour in search of the fastest lass in the Southwest. Ladies from far and wide traveled to Tucson to battle for the Speed Rack Crown.
The Casino del Sol hosted the event and doors opened to the public at 3pm. Guests were treated to sponsors' punches and cocktails, as well as beer and non-alcoholic offerings and snacks provided by the Casino. Host Chris Patino and DJ Dulce Jesus (Ryan Fitzgerald) kept the crowd entertained as the ladies prepared to go to battle. Our competitors were supported by a strong group of barbacks including Ricky Gomez, Dan de Oliveira, Jacob Briars, Tyson Buhler and Dante LoPresti.
The impressive panel of judges included Misty Kalkofen, Julie Reiner, Charlotte Voisey and Tony Abou-Ganim. The round began with the judges each calling out a drink for the girls to make. The contestants had to make the drinks as quickly – and as accurately – as possible. The judges then compared the girls' drinks side by side and issued penalty seconds to the girls for any mistakes made. The girl with the lowest time was declared the winner and moved on to the next round.
Six heated battles ensued, until we were down to the final two: Kate Gerwin vs. Shel Bourdon. In the end, Shel proved victorious while Kate was runner up for the second year in a row (last year she placed second in Las Vegas). Shel will be representing Tucson in the finals in NYC in May.
A fun time was had by all, and most importantly, over $2,500 was raised for breast cancer research, education and prevention!

Re: Translating static content
10 May 2011 at 3:02am
When I add "i18n::set_locale('en_GB');" it also finds the English translation, but it doesn't seem to get the difference between the sites. Now it even overwrites the Dutch translations. When viewing the source code it also shows the right languages in the "<html lang="nl-NL" lang="nl-NL" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">" line.
What am I doing wrong? My config now looks like this;
// Set the site locale
Translatable::set_default_locale('nl_NL');Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');
Object::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'Translatable'); // 2.4 or newer onlyi18n::set_locale('nl_NL');
i18n::set_locale('en_GB'); -
Re: Translating static content

Is there maybe somebody else who knows a solution to this problem?
Re: Translating static content
5 August 2011 at 2:25am
You need to put that in your Templates:
<% _t('Page.ss.SEARCH','Search') %>
The reason for this is that you are calling an array.
You stored your Translation in: $lang['nl_NL']['Page.ss']['SEARCH']
You need to call _t('Page.ss.SEARCH')So what you basically do is seperate each value in the $lang array by a dot (.)

@Pixelspin, I'm having the exact same issue and it seems there's something messed with the silverstripe's implementation of i18n.
Let me explain it one more time for the others:
In my /mysite/ directory I've made a new one called /lang/. Inside I've created 2 files:
es_ES.php, with the following contents:<?php
global $lang;
$lang['es_ES']['Header']['HELLO_MSG'] = 'Hola';
en_US.php, with the following contents:<?php
global $lang;
$lang['en_US']['Header']['HELLO_MSG'] = 'Hello';
?>Dynamic content on the website is already translated using the Translatable class, so now when I go to http://<domain>/hello it shows me dynamic content in English, and correspondingly the Spanish content at http://<domain>/hola
Here's the problem with i18n - it doesn't change the locale automatically, even though the site engine knows what language is being displayed. My _config.php file contains the line: i18n::set_locale('es_ES'); and it feels like i18n takes for granted that's the current language all the time.
When the Page.ss template contains this:
<% _t('Header.CHOOSE_COUNTRY') %> $ContentLocale
I always get the hello message in Spanish, no matter which language version of page I'm browsing (/hola or /hello), whilst the $ContentLocale changes depending on the current lang.I know I could call the i18n::set_locale method in a controller and therefore force the website to show content in the right language but shouldn't this be an automatic behavior? After all if $ContentLocale is set properly upon every request, then why the locale isn't?
I'm using the latest stable SS version 2.4.5, and XAMPP 1.7.3.
Re: Translating static content
6 August 2011 at 3:30am
Hi there
SilverStripe doesn't automatically set the correct i18n locale for pages translated by translatable. Try and put the following in your Page_Controller init() function, to force the correct locale for the current page:
public function init() {
parent::init();if($this->dataRecord->hasExtension('Translatable')) {
...Also read the SilverStripe Translatable documentation on github:
Re: Translating static content
6 August 2011 at 4:51am
Thanks for help martimiz, your solution works like a charm.
btw. I think it would be worth pointing out in silverstripe's i18n documentation that pages translated by translatable require that additional effort.
Re: Translating static content
22 November 2011 at 4:10pm
martimiz, I know you answered months ago, but this solution saved me today. I was completely stumped until I stumbled upon this little gem. Worked perfectly. Thanks.

Retirement is a long way to go for you, or perhaps right in the corner. No matter how near or far, it's yours; you need to start saving now. However, saving for your retirement, it was to increase the shelf life and instability of your social security. You need to invest for retirement, opposed to saving. Now its time to start looking at the pension plan offered by your company. Once upon a time, these plans were entirely healthy. But after the Enron upset and all that followed, to ensure your retirement as in their pension plans more. If you are not investing in your company to choose the pension, you have other options.
First, you can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bonds and money market instruments. You do not have to tell, the return must be used to explain this investment for retirement. Let your money grow overtime, and when certain investments reach their maturity, invest and grow your money.
Alternatively, an individual retirement accounts (IRA). IRA is very popular because the money is not taxed until you withdraw the money. You can also use your IRA contributions are deductible from taxes you owe. The IRA can be opened in several banks. A Roth IRA is a new type of retirement account. With Roth, you pay taxes on the money to invest in your account, but if you do not pay federal taxes are due. Roth IRA can be opened with a financial institution.
Another popular type of retirement account is the 401 (k). 401 (k) are generally offered by employers, but you can have a 401 (k) open by yourself. You should talk to a financial adviser or accountant to help you. The Keogh plan is another type of IRA that is self-employed. Self-employed small business owners may also be interested in simplified pension (SEP). This is another type of Keogh plan that people find it easier in general a regular Keogh plan and manage.
What are the investments of the pension you choose, but be sure to choose one! Do not count on Social Security, company pension, or an asset that can pass or not! Pay attention to your financial future by investing today. No one ever knows how to earn living after they retired so you must be prepare to this situation so you will still gain money to your pocket after retired from your job.

Poughkeepsie, Cincinnati, Santa Barbara, Montpelier, VT Take Top Honors; Vegetarian Items Available Daily on All Menus
WASHINGTON—Out with the meatloaf; in with the veggie chili. It's National School Lunch Week, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine announces the winners of its 2005 "Golden Carrot Awards" for innovation in school foodservice. The grand prize went to Susan Wolfe-Hill, a private foodservice operator working with the Poughkeepsie Day School in New York. Three second-place prizes went to foodservice professionals in Santa Barbara, Cincinnati, and Montpelier, VT.
PCRM established the Golden Carrot Awards in 2004 to recognize foodservice professionals doing an exceptional job of improving the healthfulness of school lunches. PCRM looks for programs that encourage kids to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and that offer plenty of vegan, low-fat, whole grain, and nondairy options. Children who are raised on a healthy vegetarian diet have a lower risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers compared to those who grow up on an average American diet.
This year's Golden Carrot winners:
* Susan Wolfe-Hill, chef and owner of The Balancing Act, won the grand prize for the creative foodservice program she runs for the Poughkeepsie Day School. At least half of the menu items available each day are vegan; all soups and stews are homemade and vegetarian. Recent choices include Louisiana-style Red Beans and Brown Rice, Penne with Broccoli, Vegan Corn Chowder, and Butternut Squash Soup. Wolfe-Hill will win $1,000; the school will receive $2,500.
* Rick Hungerford, foodservice director at U-32 High School in Montpelier, won a $500 second prize. Hungerford's many innovations include bringing in outside chefs to teach foodservice personnel how to cook with tofu, seitan, and other meat alternatives.
* Laurel Lyle, executive chef of the Peabody Charter School in Santa Barbara, won a $500 second prize. Her kitchen emphasizes simple, fresh-cooked meals prepared largely from local organic produce and grains. The school has also formed alliances with local farmers and teaches kids to garden and compost.
* Jan Alford, foodservice director at The Seven Hills School in Cincinnati, Ohio, won a $500 second prize. Alford recently overhauled her school's kitchen, tossing the deep-fat fryer, eliminating all foods with trans fat, and

Fabulous review.. Spot on Sir/ess/, I have come to Game of Thrones in a very circuitess (?) way. Don't have Sky, wanted to watch it but couldn't. Picked up the book 2nd hand, enthralled/ Had deep conversation with someone who had watched the tv production, then found out about how to watch online. Can see inconsistencies even though I have not read the other books, dramatic license & all that.. But what a hoot! Tyrion seems to be the only american actor & he puts us all to shame.. I absolutely adore his portrayal. Yummy. Is this as big as I think it is in the States? So many fantastic (& shit) british actORS.. In fact, seems totally UK staffed.. It is a bit buttocky, in the same way the Tudors was, but commendable. Tasteful buttocks, greedy dragons. I like the fact that it can make me laugh even when I'm grimacing. So many programmes are entirely up their own backsides without even knowing it. This production is nigh on pornographic in its shameless self love. It's such a shame that the north/south divide has to be won. As if..
For an amusing Social media slant:
Some of those duets rocked. Seriously has an ousted performer ever been promoted so much?
I am totally Team Candice. I love Kree but felt her energy or interest had waned.
I expected Angie Miller and Candice Glover too, but I'm still glad that I had my three girls together and America at least got THAT right. They both recorded albums, so they will both be just fine. My whole family likes a lot of TV shows, so I'm grateful that when I can't watch Idol live because we're watching something else, my DISH Hopper records all of the primetime shows on FOX each evening. That way I can watch it in the morning before I go to my job at DISH and don't miss a thing when my coworkers talk about what happened.
I think you nailed it Eric. Candice was better last night. I didn't mind the judges at all this season. The shoes were way too high. The songs too lame. Frankly, i am thrilled the season is over. Exhausting!
They were extremely boring. Their stupid 5 inch heels crippled them and they could barely get down the stairs. They stood in one spot and moved their arms up and down. Crappy song choices, creepy arrangements and zero excitement. I couldn't even listen to the judges. Worst season ever. The singers on the Voice are a million times more interesting and the coaches are GREAT.
I loved them both, but Candice performance was better. I hope Candice wins. I voted 527 times.
I pick candice is the winner of American idol she is the best singer
Kree has been my choice since the performance of Stars, That day she touched so many hearts with her Pure heart felt performance, even then, Nikki said "That's the Voice" and Kree has been true during the whole competition..!! And yes I believe the producers Try to throw her under the bus..."Really?" America just showed you, you can't deny "Real Talent" ..Kree all the way... shame on the producers..!
I simply cannot believe what I am reading, except for the above comment (saying that she never liked Angie because she didn't seem genuine). In fact, even that is putting it kindly! I did like a few of her performances behind the piano, but I just . . . couldn't believe her. And it seemed to me that she spent more time playing the politics game than anything else. Oh -- and most important -- while her singing was not completely without merit, she didn't have the talent level of the other two.
So -- on to more positive things -- I, too, was stunned at the choice for the finale -- but only because I have been deeply dissappointed by voting in the past! For me, Kree is great, I've always loved her, but . . .
Candice Glover is a singer for the ages! Not original? Ridiculous! And who cares? Even on the worst song choices, she never let me down a single time. From nearly the very beginning, I thought that Candice's talent pretty much towered over the rest -- even some of the better female singers.
Though I still like Kree despite some shaky stuff over the last month, I feel like if Candice Glover isn't the "next American Idol", there's no justice in the world! I would have felt that way based on her performance of the Cure's "Lovesong" alone most likely, but she's just -- she just knocks it out of the park again and again!!!
Candice is the best vocalist by far; and afterall, this is a vocal competition! Candice you are so beautiful and such a powerful singer from your soul! I miss Amber too!
Kree Harrison doesn't need sympathy votes! Geez people, she is truly talented and like Angie, she writes her own songs as well. Also, you don't have to run around the stage and get dressed up to entertain when you have a great voice. George Strait has sold millions and he is a simple country guy in a pair of jeans, a shirt and a hat!
I like that the final two are Kree and Candice!!! I would like to see Kree win it, and I will be voting!!! but they are both very powerful singers!!! so who knows!!!!
Kree's homecoming video certainly helped her. So it's not level playing ground unfortunately. Angie is enormously talented. She should be in the final two.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top 3. I loved Angie and Kree best only because I hear more originality in there voices, but Amber is Fabulous as well. I think any of the 3 would have been a disappointing loss, but Angie will most certainly be heard from again!!! Her goodbye song was NOT her original, it was a Colton Dixon song. However, the background song from her hometown visit was get original and I hope that we will hear that as her first released single VERY soon!
Judges.... Well BLAH! Talk about in genuine! I think Keith was the only one not playing an angle!
I picked Kree from the very beginning. She is a very talented girl and the best they have had in a long time. There is nothing phony about Kree, what you see is what you get. Even though I think Candace has talent , I am rooting for Kree all the way.
Think it is important to not be over critical, about people. All 3 of the singers are great. God has certainly blessed them all. Don't be too hard on Angie. She may not have had the hardship and pain life sometimes brings but should we really think less of a person's talent and ability because she has a fairly blessed life. When I think of what she had to come to the stage with, voice and piano , her talent is enormous. Don't forget the song she picked the night they performed any song you wish you had written was a Kari Jobe song, awesome Christian musician. Angie shows us she is brave and talented in so many ways. Look past her face and see her inner heart.
Like all of them, but Angie's third line disconnected. Tried several times. Did idol not pay the phone bill?
MUST LISTEN TO!! Soundcloud.com/Stress-club
Absolutely not. Angie deserved it.

PROVO — Nearly 20 years ago, BYU traveled to Logan and lost a shootout to Utah State, 58-56.
That zany, defense-less 1993 game featured 10 touchdown passes, including a 63-yarder, a 72-yarder and a 93-yarder. BYU quarterback John Walsh threw for a school-record 619 yards in a losing effort. The two teams combined to score 49 fourth-quarter points. In the end, the Cougars and Aggies produced a dizzying 1,318 yards of total offense.
That was then.
Heading into this year's showdown between BYU and Utah State Friday (8:15 p.m, MT, ESPN), a shutout seems much more likely than a shootout. That's because both teams' defenses rank among the nation's best in nearly every statistical category.
The Cougars are No. 4 in scoring defense, No. 5 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense, No. 11 in passing defense and No. 1 in red-zone defense.
The Aggies, meanwhile, rank No. 18 in scoring defense, No. 11 in total defense, No. 22 in rushing defense, No. 15 in passing defense and No. 19 in red-zone defense.
That would seem to indicate that it will be a low-scoring, defensive battle at LaVell Edwards Stadium, right?
"I never know," said BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall. "Just as soon as you start thinking that way, it might be 35-34 or something. I've seen (Utah State) play defense, and I think they're good. I think they're good on offense. Who knows? I think it will be a good game. I just can't predict the score."
"It never goes the way you think it's going to go," said Cougar linebacker Brandon Ogletree. "Their offense can definitely put up points, so if it's low-scoring, we'll be happy."
BYU's defense is riding two impressive streaks. The Cougar "D" hasn't allowed the opposing offense to score any points in the last nine quarters of play, and it hasn't allowed the opposition to gain more than 300 yards of offense in 11 straight games.
Both streaks will be in jeopardy Friday. USU's offense is expected to pose a stiff test for BYU's defense.
Aggie quarterback Chuckie Keeton threw for 402 yards and four touchdowns last week against UNLV, while running back Kerwyn Williams rushed 20 times for 113 yards and caught seven passes for 147 yards.
What concerns Mendenhall is the duo's "athleticism in space. The design of their offense is multi-faceted. They try to get their athletes in space against other athletes in space. It will be a collective approach for us to try to match them."
Mendenhall acknowledged that Keeton, a sophomore, has improved since last year. "He's always been a really solid scrambler and super-athletic," the coach said. "Now there's a little more patience and poise before he takes off — a little bit more balanced."
"They have a really good quarterback. He's pretty elusive," Ogletree said. "I really like their running back and he does good things with the ball in his hands. They have a tough O-line. They play hard. They're really confident in what they can do."
The Cougar defense is also playing with confidence, and Ogletree is happy with the way he and his teammates have performed so far this season.
"We're kind of pleased with how many shutouts we've had," he said. "That's pretty uncommon. Anytime you can shut a team out, that just means there's no huge breakdowns. Coming into the season, we knew we would be good; we just didn't know how good. I think we still don't know how good we'll be. We'll find out."
While each game presents a new challenge, the goals don't, Ogletree added.
"Our main goal every week is to stop the run, limit the points and then get the ball out," he said. "That's what our focus is every week. We can always get better at that."

"These people you're serving with are your neighbors," said Joe Haynes, a returning county commissioner.
When its newly elected Republican commissioner, Andy Skidmore, takes his seat, the Putnam County Commission will be composed entirely of Republicans. That's a change from the last few years, but it's been this way before, from 2004 to 2006.
Haynes has seen it both ways and said the partisan dynamics don't make much of a difference to proceedings.
"On a local level I'm not sure it comes into play that much except on a philosophical level," he said. "Even if you have differences, you take your vote and you move on. There's no vindictiveness."
If you look at the commission's decisions over the past few years, he said, there will sometimes be an odd man out, voting differently than the other two commissioners - but these differences don't always follow party lines.
"Most of the things are so basic it doesn't come out like that," he said.
Republican Mark Sorsaia, prosecuting attorney, said this year's election results are, more than anything, evidence of a healthy two-party system in Putnam County, where informed voters are evaluating individual candidates on their merits rather than their politics.
"We get into fights during elections, but once we get elected, we all try to work together," he said.
"If that happened in Washington, this country would be a better place to be."
In addition to Skidmore, Republicans elected last week include Joe Reeder, circuit judge; Steve Deweese, sheriff; and Sherry Hayes, assessor.
The only Democrats retaining county offices are Circuit Judge Phil Stowers and surveyor Randy Crace.

Google wants to fight smartphone battle on Web
Google has been playing catch-up to Apple in the mobile world for several years, but it's starting to carve out its own niche by emphasizing its strength on the Web.
The Android Market Web Store was the most interesting thing to emerge from yesterday's event at Google headquarters, and it's one that Apple can't easily duplicate overnight. It's also in keeping with Google's philosophy of pushing Web development over native software development when possible, a strategy that isn't always practical on smartphones but is starting to make more sense as computing power grows … Read more

Characterization of Neurotrophin and Trk Receptor Functions in Developing Sensory Ganglia
Neuron, Volume 21, Issue 2, 1 August 1998, Pages 325-334
Isabel Fariñas, George A Wilkinson, Carey Backus, Louis F Reichardt and Ardem Patapoutian
SummarySpinal sensory ganglia have been shown to contain neuronal subpopulations with different functions and neurotrophin dependencies. Neurotrophins act, in large part, through Trk receptor tyrosine kinases: nerve growth factor (NGF) via TrkA, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5) via TrkB, and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) via TrkC. In the present paper, we use antibodies to TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC to characterize their expression patterns and to determine which subpopulations of cells are lost in mice lacking individual neurotrophins or Trk receptors. Despite previous reports of Trk receptor mRNAs in neural crest cells, we detect Trk receptor proteins only in neurons and not in neural crest cells or neuronal precursors. Comparisons of neonatal mice deficient in NT-3 or its cognate receptor TrkC have shown that there is a much greater deficiency in spinal sensory neurons in the former, suggesting that NT-3 may activate receptors in addition to TrkC. Using the same antibodies, we show that, during the major period of neurogenesis, NT-3 is required to maintain neurons that express TrkB in addition to those that express TrkC but is not essential for neurons expressing TrkA. Results also indicate that survival of cells expressing both receptors can be maintained by activation of either one alone. NT-3 can thus activate more than one Trk receptor in vivo, which when coexpressed are functionally redundant.

Introduction of a Neurotrophin-3 Transgene into Muscle Selectively Rescues Proprioceptive Neurons in Mice Lacking Endogenous Neurotrophin-3
Neuron, Volume 19, Issue 3, 1 September 1997, Pages 503-517
D.E Wright, L Zhou, J Kucera and W.D Snider
SummaryTo clarify the role of muscle-derived neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in the development of sensory neurons, we generated transgenic mice selectively overexpressing NT-3 in skeletal muscles under the control of a myogenin promoter (myo-NT-3 mice). The myo-NT-3 transgene was then bred into an NT-3 null mutant (−/−) line to generate myo-NT-3, NT-3−/− mice in which NT-3 was expressed in muscles, but not elsewhere. Transient overexpression of NT-3 in developing muscles increased the number of proprioceptive neurons as well as the density of both their central and peripheral projections, resulting in more Ia afferents in spinal cord and more spindles (end organs of Ia afferents) in muscles. NT-3 expression restricted to muscles was sufficient to secure the development of proprioceptive neurons and their central and peripheral projections in myo-NT-3, NT-3−/− mice. The loss of nonproprioceptive neurons observed in NT-3−/− mice was not reversed by the transgene, suggesting that these neurons are regulated by NT-3 from sources other than muscle. We conclude that target-derived rather than intraganglionic NT-3 is preeminent in supporting the development of proprioceptive neurons. The level of NT-3 in developing muscles may be the principal factor determining the number of proprioceptive neurons in dorsal root ganglions and spindles in skeletal muscles of adults.

Low-Threshold Mechanoreceptor Subtypes Selectively Express MafA and Are Specified by Ret Signaling
Neuron, Volume 64, Issue 6, 24 December 2009, Pages 857-870
Steeve Bourane, Alain Garces, Stephanie Venteo, Alexandre Pattyn, Thomas Hubert, Agnes Fichard, Sylvie Puech, Hassan Boukhaddaoui, Christel Baudet, Satoru Takahashi, Jean Valmier and Patrick Carroll
SummaryLow-threshold mechanoreceptor neurons (LTMs) of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are essential for touch sensation. They form highly specialized terminations in the skin and display stereotyped projections in the spinal cord. Functionally defined LTMs depend on neurotrophin signaling for their postnatal survival and functioning, but how these neurons arise during development is unknown. Here, we show that specific types of LTMs can be identified shortly after DRG genesis by unique expression of the MafA transcription factor, the Ret receptor and coreceptor GFRα2, and find that their specification is Ngn2 dependent. In mice lacking Ret, these LTMs display early differentiation defects, as revealed by reduced MafA expression, and at later stages their central and peripheral projections are compromised. Moreover, in MafA mutants, a discrete subset of LTMs display altered expression of neurotrophic factor receptors. Our results provide evidence that genetic interactions involving Ret and MafA progressively promote the differentiation and diversification of LTMs.

Add/View Comments (0)Lack of Neurotrophin-3 Results in Death of Spinal Sensory Neurons and Premature Differentiation of Their Precursors

- To understand mechanisms resulting in the absence of two-thirds of spinal sensory neurons in mice lacking NT-3, we have compared dorsal root ganglia development in normal and mutant embryos. The reduction in neurons, achieved by E13, results from several deficits: first, elevated neuronal apoptosis significantly reduces neuronal numbers; second, elevated neurogenesis between E11 and E12, without changes in rates of precursor proliferation or apoptosis, depletes the precursor pool; consequently, the reduced precursor pool prevents increases in neuronal numbers between E12 and E13, when most neurons are born in normal animals. Although deficits occur before final target innervation, we show that NT-3 is expressed at all stages in regions accessible to these neurons or their axons and is only restricted to final targets after innervation.

Latest Moblin Linux polished for netbooks
The effort putting Linux on Intel's mobile Atom processor has seen its latest release, with an across-the-board polish for Moblin. The steering committee of the Moblin Project, the Intel-initiated effort that was spun off to the Linux Foundation earlier this year, proudly announced a raft of capabilities new to version 2.1. …
Asus 701? Nope.
Borks on startup. Pity, this machine would be the perfect match for the lightweight Moblin.
Dammit - guess the processor's not up to the mark.
Hope the team can get it sorted.
(get "illegal instruction line 6 when trying to do some file transfer, which I forget, 'cos I re-stuffed my USB stick back to eeebuntu)
I, for one would have welcomed the G^HMoblin overlords at the bottom of my garden.
Could've chosen Paris icon, as I'm sure she'd welcome a good Mobling ^W Nobling ^W Gobling. Whatever.
Aspire One? No problems
Worked a treat from a USB stick boot. Loaded fast. Looks rather cute too. My only question is, how do you exit? No, really. Where's the Shutdown button? Couldn't find it.

Also: Marilyn Monroe Facts
Early Life
Marilyn Monroe, whose name was Norma Jean Baker in childhood, was born to Gladys Mortenson, a film technician, whose husband, Edward Mortenson, deserted the family. Norma Jean's natural father may have actually been another studio employee, C. Stanley Gifford. Gladys' mental illness surfaced shortly after her daughter's birth, and she was institutionalized much of Norma Jean's growing years. Norma Jean was placed in a series of twelve foster homes, and once in an orphanage. She attended Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles, California.
At sixteen, Norma Jean escaped the foster system by marrying 20-year-old James Dougherty. A year later, in 1943, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marine. Norma Jean took a job in an airline plant, part of the World War II factory effort, and worked first as a parachute inspector, then as a paint sprayer. When the government came through to take promotional photographs of the women working in the plant, the brunette Norma Jean learned that she photographed well, took a modeling course, and began working part-time as a photographer's model.
Success as a photographer's model led her to her dream of becoming an actress. In 1946, she divorced Dougherty and bleached her hair to become a blond. She signed a one-year, $125/month contract with Twentieth Century-Fox on August 26, 1946. Ben Lyon, casting director, suggested that she take the name Marilyn, and she added her grandmother's last name, Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe as Actress
Marilyn Monroe played one bit part that year, all of which ended up on the cutting room floor. The next year, she signed another one-year contract, this time with Columbia. The results weren't any better.
In 1950, Marilyn Monroe posed for full-length nude shots, which the photographer Tom Kelley sold for a calendar. That same year, she appeared in a bit part in The Asphalt Jungle, and though her name wasn't even mentioned in the credits, her appearance generated a huge amount of fan mail. Her reputation as a blond bombshell had begun to be established.
So Twentieth Century-Fox signed Marilyn Monroe to a new contract -- this time, for seven years. She appeared in All About Eve. In 1953, she had her first starring role, in Niagara. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes she sang and, for the first time, she had her own dressing room.
In January, 1954, Marilyn Monroe married the famous baseball player, Joe DiMaggio. The marriage was short-lived; they divorced in October.
Seven Year Itch
For the 1955 movie The Seven Year Itch, Marilyn Monroe appeared in the famous photographic stunt, in a white halter dress, with her skirt blown up by a draft from a sidewalk grate, leaning down to catch her dress so that her cleavage showed. The photograph was used to advertise the film, and has become one of the iconic images of Marilyn Monroe.
After filming The Seven Year Itch, in which she plays a prototypical "dumb blond," Marilyn Monroe decided to work more seriously on her acting skills, to the skepticism of many critics. She broke her movie contract, and moved to New York to study at the Actors Studio with Lee Strasberg for a year.
Success ... and Problems
In 1955, she founded her own company with Milton Greene, Marilyn Monroe Productions, and signed a new contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. She made the 1956 movie Bus Stop, which wowed the critics, but she'd begun to lose herself to self-doubt, depression, drugs, and alcohol.
Marilyn Monroe, whose mother and maternal grandparents had all struggled with mental illness and institutionalization, began taking sleeping pills for her insomnia. She regularly consulted psychiatrists. She drank heavily, and began a habit of arriving late to work, and sometimes not being able to work at all.
Arthur Miller
She married Arthur Miller, the playwright, shortly after Bus Stop was released, and for the marriage converted to Judaism. She lived quietly for two years with her new husband. During that time, Miller was fighting his conviction for contempt-of-Congress for refusing to answer two questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The marriage, and several miscarriages, added to her self-doubt and depression, and to her use of drugs and alcohol.
Marilyn Monroe's next movie, The Prince and the Showgirl, brought mixed reviews. That was followed by Let's Make Love, and an unhappy romantic liaison with co-star Yves Montand.
The Misfits was written for Marilyn Monroe by her husband, Arthur Miller. She performed well in the final product, though, during its filming, she was often under the influence of alcohol and pills, and she was notoriously late to the set. Marilyn was affected by the death, two months after the film was completed, of her co-star, Clark Gable.
In early 1961, Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller divorced. During this period, she was also bothered by many rumors of affairs, including with the President, John F. Kennedy, and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy.
Last Months
Filming her next project, ironically titled Something's Got to Give, Marilyn's lateness and addictions led to her dismissal after a month. She was briefly committed to a mental hospital. She was approved to return to the film, but never resumed filming.
Two months later, in her home in Los Angeles, Marilyn Monroe was found by her housekeeper, dead, with an empty bottle of sleeping pills next to her body. The coroner found the death was caused by an overdose of barbiturates, and pronounced it a possible suicide. No evidence of foul play was presented to the coroner.
Marilyn Monroe's funeral was planned by Joe DiMaggio; Lee Strasberg delivered the eulogy.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I admit I am a carnivore, especially when it comes to beef.
Give me a piece of red meat and I'll rub that sucker with loads of black pepper, garlic and a little kosher salt, and then I'll build a charcoal fire so big it will create its own microclimate. Next, I'll roast the meat until the red inside just starts turning pink, and then I'll wolf it down with a big, purple wine that will make your lips pucker and your heart sing!
Still, I do enjoy my veggies, particularly the ones from our own farmer's market in Charleston. For the next few weeks, we'll choose from a cornucopia of the region's most wonderful assortment of vegetables.
I am a fan of peppers! Green ones, red ones and especially hot ones. I have prepared peppers in more ways than the normal person can fathom. I roast them, stuff them, fry them, freeze them, can them and, above all, I consume them almost daily. One of my favorite ways to prepare red, sweet peppers combines stuffing, roasting and grilling.
I am sharing a recipe for a special summertime meal combining the best ingredients from my favorite food groups: red meat, vegetables and pasta. This recipe is for two people, so you can increase it depending upon the number you're serving.
A meaty note: I get most of my meat from Sandy Creek Farms in Ravenswood or Johnnies Fresh Meats at the Capitol Market. Sandy Creek Farms raises its own beef and pork, using only natural feeds such as corn, soybean meal, molasses and oats. It's about as organic as it gets and it is also terrific tasting. They deliver to Charleston once a week right to your door and you can contact them at (800) 487-2569 or wherestheb...@sandy
Preparing the meat
Use a 1 1/2-inch ribeye steak. Put a few drops of olive oil on each side of the meat and then rub both sides with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper. Set aside for about 1 hour.
Cut 2 sweet red bell peppers lengthwise in half. Remove seeds and stems, rub inside and out with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
