Celestial Time and Human Time
Around the beginning of February, after a spell of cloudy weather, I was startled to see Jupiter shining through my bathroom window, fairly high in a nearly-dark sky, when I woke up in the morning. The sky can change a lot in three weeks!
For naked-eye viewing, Jupiter's current situation next to the brightest and most colorful of the zodiacal stars is impossible to beat. But it's ominous for telescopic viewing, because the King of Planets is now near the southernmost point of the ecliptic. From my location in Massachusetts, it won't rise more than 25 degrees above the horizon this year too low for a good view through a telescope unless the atmosphere is abnormally steady. Things won't be any better next year, with Jupiter in Sagittarius. And in 2009 Jupiter will be in Capricornus, just starting its slow climb up the ecliptic.
The outer planets move at a stately pace; it takes Jupiter 12 years to return to the same spot among the "fixed stars," and 30 years for Saturn. A lot changes in a human life in 12 years let alone 30. That, presumably, is why the God of Time is associated with the slowest-moving planet known in classical antiquity. In the olden days, people were lucky to witness two full circuits of the planet Saturn before Time mowed them down with his great scythe.

Presentation on Innovation Policy
I spoke this afternoon at a conference on "Innovation Policy and the Economy organized by the National Bureau of Economic Research. My presentation (show below) explored a wide array of possible changes in federal policy that might bolster innovation, including more spending on research and development, increased support for education, lower taxes on private investment, greater immigration of skilled workers, patent reform, and adjustments to regulatory policies. CBO's role is to present to the Congress the advantages and disadvantages of different policies, so, as always, I made no recommendations. Instead, I concluded that, in the context of the current tight budget constraints, those approaches to enhancing innovation would require a redirection of federal money from other purposes or compromises on other national goals, which would require that spurring innovation be viewed by lawmakers as an important national priority.

Wendy Knowler fights for your rights...
It's been 10 years since the Medicines Control Council (MCC) announced its "call-up" of products generally referred to as "complementary medicines".
These are "natural" products that do not have to be registered as medicines, yet most make health-related claims.
The intention was for the MCC to audit these products over six months in 2002, but all that's happened is that the list of products has grown into a very long one in the past decade, with not a single product having been evaluated for safety, quality or efficacy.
But this hasn't stopped some of the manufacturers and importers from claiming in their marketing that their product is "registered with the MCC" – a few going as far as to falsely use their MCC "acknowledgment of receipt" number as a registration number, thereby creating the impression that the product has the body's stamp of approval, when in fact it hasn't been assessed at all.
In a written response to a parliamentary question, the health minister said in October 2010 that about 155 000 submissions for complementary medicines had been received since the publication of the call-up notice of February 2002.
As for why none of them had been evaluated in any way, the minister said the procedures and guidelines were not yet in place.
The only authority that calls upon the manufacturers or importers to substantiate their product claims is the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and then only when someone lodges a formal complaint of misleading advertising.
That person is, more often than not, Dr Harris Steinman of Cape Town, who, for much of the past decade, has made it his business to lodge complaints against scores of "complementary" products, mostly weight-loss ones.
Most of his complaints have been upheld by the ASA's directorate, which has ordered the companies in question to remove the misleading claims from |their products' packaging or advertising.
Last week the SA Association for Responsible Health Information, of which Steinman is a member, released a statement marking the 10th anniversary of the complementary medicines call-up.
"What this means is that for 10 years people making and marketing complementary medicines have done so with relative impunity, profiting off South Africans who have been convinced that they should use these products to improve their health and quality of life," said Professor Roy Jobson of Rhodes University's pharmacy faculty on behalf of the association.
"For registered medicines, the guarantee (of safety and efficacy) comes from the MCC.
"But for unregistered medicines where there is no such guarantee from the MCC, pharmacists have to personally make the decisions as to what to sell, based only on information provided by the manufacturers of the products."
The association said it believed that evidence of efficacy could not be provided for most of the products on the list, "which poses a serious public health risk to those who live in South Africa".
It called on the MCC, the health minister, the Pharmacy Council, the Allied Health Professions Council and the director-general of health to collaborate in remedying this situation as soon as possible.
"We note that draft complementary medicines regulations were published for comment in 2011 and although they clarify to some extent how these substances might be controlled, they are silent on implementation |and a time frame for their implementation."
This week yet another of Steinman's complaints against the marketing claims of a weight-loss product was upheld by the ASA directorate.
The product is Dis-Chem Pharmacies' Dis-Chem Gold Herbal Weight Loss Formula, which claims to be "fast acting with Hoodia and Slimaluma".
Steinman contended that there was insufficient evidence to support the weight-loss claims of either the individual ingredients or their combination, adding that the product name implied that it had the ability to induce weight loss, which was not true.
Steinman also said that not all the ingredients were herbal, and that the first peer review study on Hoodia had shown that it had no effect on weight loss or appetite suppression.
Responding, Dis-Chem Pharmacies told the ASA directorate that, based on scientific research and reports on the product's active ingredient, it believed it to be a bona fide product and that Steinman's complaint was unfair and unfounded.
The company submitted documentation, some of it untitled and unreferenced, purporting to prove the efficacy of ingredients such as Hoodia gordonii, guarana, kola nut, "Slimaluma" and Caralluma fimbriata extract.
The directorate said it required unequivocal, product-specific verification because the weight-loss claims were made for the product as a whole, and consumers were able to buy only the whole product.
"There is nothing before the directorate to indicate that there was product-specific research or that it exists," it said in its ruling.
"The respondent has also not submitted independent research documents as evidence that the ingredients as mentioned on the packaging are effective in the dosage used in the product and consumed by consumers, and that the said ingredients do not also contra-indicate each other."
In short, the directorate upheld Steinman's claim, ruling that Dis-Chem withdraw the name for its product – Gold Herbal Weight Loss Formula – as well as any references to weight loss, within three months.

I was there and YES,these guys did set up a system with "a mid range to die for" ;best sound in show? , YES ,YES, AND YES.
The Voice That Is Speaks Beauty
If you want to hear a piano warm your heart, take a listen to this system. Not only is the midrange gorgeous, but the images are also maximally transparent and surrounded by air.
Exactly what is responsible for what, I have no way of knowing. Argento cabling, for example, features a carbon-reinforced dielectric and injected vibration damping material. Does that lower the noise floor and make the system far more transparent than most others I heard? Do the Vitus monoblocks create such a lush midrange, or is it the Tidal speakers, or both in tandem? All I know is that the combo had all of the high frequency extension and much of the low-frequency reach (down to 35Hz) I crave, as well as a midrange to die for. Was it a tad over-emphasized? Perhaps. But it was so musical, and so enrapturing, that I hated to say goodbye. If I have time on the final day of the show, this is one system I will definitely revisit.

Issue 15, 2006R |
According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN):
Mental health and substance abuse practitioners and researchers have become increasingly conscious of a link between substance use and mental disorders in recent years.1 A substantial number of persons in the United States experience co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. In 2004, an estimated 4.6 million adults in the United States met criteria for both serious psychological distress (SPD) and substance abuse and dependence.2 Approximately 50 percent of persons with a substance use disorder have had a co-occurring mental disorder in their lifetime.3
Individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental disorders often are more difficult to treat and experience worse outcomes than other patients.4 Persons with these co-occurring disorders also have higher rates of emergency department (ED) use than those with mental disorders alone.5 Identifying those individuals with co-occurring disorders and the problems they experience is essential to developing appropriate treatment strategies at all points of contact, including the ED visit.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) collects data from a national sample of hospitals on ED visits related to recent drug use. Using data on patient diagnoses, we are able to identify those drug-related ED visits where patients were diagnosed with both substance use and mental disorders.6 This report presents findings on these ED visits involving co-occurring substance use and mental disorders.
During 2004, an estimated 246,800 patients in drug-related ED visits were diagnosed with co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. This number accounted for nearly 10 percent of all drug-related ED visits. In more than half (57%) of the ED visits with co-occurring disorders, the mental disorder diagnosis was depression. Among diagnoses for substance use disorders, more than half (54%) involved a diagnosis of "drug abuse," and nearly a third (31%) were diagnosed with an "overdose."
However, not all ED visits involving patients with co-occurring disorders will have such diagnoses documented in the ED chart. For instance, a patient with depression controlled by medication may come to the ED for an injury related to his or her abuse of another drug. In such cases, the diagnoses may document drug abuse but not depression.
Patients in age groups between 18 and 54 had similar rates of ED visits with co-occurring disorder diagnoses, ranging from 99 to 179 visits per 100,000 population (Figure 1). In general, the rates for patients aged 18 to 54 were higher than those found for younger patients (aged 12 to 17) and older patients (aged 55 and older), but only the larger differences were statistically significant.

Where ED visits involved co-occurring disorders, 49 percent of patients were admitted to inpatient units, and 37 percent were treated and released (Figure 3). Of patients who were treated and released, most were discharged home (72%), but a quarter (25%) were referred to detoxification or other drug treatment.
Among patients admitted for inpatient care, 72 percent were admitted to psychiatric units. Nearly 10 percent of admitted patients required intensive or critical care.

Alcohol (in 37% of visits) was the most frequently reported drug for ED visits with co-occurring diagnoses (Table 1). In addition, cocaine, marijuana, and stimulants (in 36%, 18%, and 13% of visits, respectively) also were involved often in co-occurring ED visits. Besides illicit drugs, medically prescribed benzodiazepines (15% of visits) were also among the five drugs most often reported in ED visits for those with co-occurring substance use and mental disorders.
Rank | Drug | Visits | Percent of visits |
— | Total alcohol with other drug(s) | 246,800 | 100% |

The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) is a public health surveillance system that monitors drug-related morbidity and mortality. DAWN uses a probability sample of hospitals to produce estimates of drug-related emergency department (ED) visits for the United States and selected metropolitan areas annually. DAWN also produces annual profiles of drug-related deaths reviewed by medical examiners or coroners in selected metropolitan areas and States. Any ED visit or death related to recent drug use is included in DAWN. All types of drugs—licit and illicit—are covered. Alcohol is included for adults when it occurs with another drug. Alcohol is always included for minors. DAWN's method of classifying drugs was derived from the Multum Lexicon, Copyright © 2008, Multum Information Services, Inc. The Multum Licensing Agreement can be found in DAWN annual publications and at http://www.multum.com/license.htm. DAWN is one of three major surveys conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Office of Applied Studies (SAMHSA/OAS). For information on other OAS surveys, go to http://www.oas.samhsa.gov. SAMHSA has contracts with Westat (Rockville, MD) and RTI International (Research Triangle Park, NC) to operate the DAWN system and produce publications.

Keep your family's computer mouse company with Dora and her friends. It takes just a few minutes, and you can find everything you need easily at craft stores and craft-supply websites!
Watch Dora every day@ 7:00PM EST on NICK
Choose the appropriate iron-on image and the type of iron-on transfer paper based on the color of your mouse pad blank. For dark-colored mouse pad blank, print Dora Mouse Pad Iron-On Image (Non-Reversed) onto transfer paper for dark clothing. The image is ironed onto the fabric faceup. For light-colored one, print Dora Mouse Pad Iron-On Image (Reversed) onto transfer paper for light clothing. The image is ironed facedown onto the fabric.
Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.
Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel. For best results, though, don't use your ironing board.
If you printed reversed image, place the cut-out facedown on the mouse pad blank. If you printed non-reversed image, peel off its backing and place the image faceup on the mouse pad blank. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper. Iron the image with firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for 10-15 seconds using steady pressure.
In case of the image ironed on facedown, starting at one corner, slowly peel the backing away from the mouse pad. In case of the image ironed on faceup, simply remove the protective sheet. Let the mouse pad to cool for a few minutes before using.
Print the non-reversed image onto a sheet of fabric transfer paper. Carefully set the printable aside and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. When dry, your child can cut out the image, peel it away from the backing, and stick it directly to the mouse pad blank using fabric glue.

Discussion on Any ide how to fix it ? within the Boba Fett Helmet forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; Any idea how to fix it ?. How could straighten
Last edited by TD-7614; Feb 5, 2010 at 9:30 AM.
I made helmet from different templates then ears so looks strange. I use my oven, but it was wrong decision, so now I have much more work to do whit repair helmet.
Last edited by TD-7614; Feb 5, 2010 at 9:34 AM.
I would use some bondo to fill the gaps between the ears and the helmet. Then sand it smooth and primer it. Have a look where to tweak a bit and if you like insert a fine small line that normally is between the ears and the helmet.
That´s what I would do. Hope it helps brother.
I've come across this before, heat the ear up and shape it to the helmet. Once it is painted, you will never notice it.
BF helmet, unfortunately this did not come out. I will try to be more careful next time.
Nearly finished, he was only a viewfinder and mount electronics.

I recently bought this because it was a face product with milk in it. I really like this product because it removes all the make-up and dirt off. You don't have to scrub your face with it. It's really the perfect cleanse for your face. I use it once a day at night. I also really like this because it smells great and is really smooth in texture. The price is reasonable for the size. Overall, I really like this product.
I ordered this product because I liked the packaging. I absolutely love it. It removes all makeup including mascara and leaves my skin felling clean and soft. I have fair,sensitive skin and this product is very soothing!
So I wear super thick caked-up makeup! and it usually takes me sooo long to remove my lashes, mascara, eyeshadow, and lipstick, oh and concealer! I absolutely adore this cleanser! I honestly do not use any make-up remover at all and I just stick with this cleanser. AHMAZZING!!!! definitely a must have!

I think the last reviewer did not remove the seeds from the pepper. This does make a big difference. If you find the tomato juice is too thick to your liking just add a little water. Very simple. I always feel so energized when I have this drink.

The Egg-Yegg
Comments by: Pietro | Rating: | Posted: August 28, 2012 |
In this fine Bob Wickersham Fox and Crow short, the Crow receives some refugee war eggs from an "eggcited" mother. Unfortunately, his efforts to protect this nest of "heavenly happiness" are threatened by the Fox, working as an egg-collector on a scientific expedition. Though perhaps more could have been done with the plot, this short is nonetheless most enjoyable for its many memorable moments, including the fantastic musical sequence featuring the Fox and Crow's duet, "Let's All Sing Like the 'Boidies' Sing" (Frank Graham was a genius!). Other highlights include the Fox's "explosive" high-wire act, the second appearance of the Fox's "dream girl" from "The Dream Kids", and the refugee eggs hatching into birds reminiscent of Chuck Jones' "Instant Martians".

A Contribution to the Theory of Preferential Interaction Coefficients Biophysical Journal, Volume 89, Issue 4, 1 October 2005, Pages 2258-2276 J. Michael Schurr, David P. Rangel and Sergio R. Aragon Abstract A simple and complete derivation of the relation between concentration-based preferential interaction coefficients and integrals over the relevant pair correlation functions is presented for the first time. Certain omissions from the original treatment of pair correlation functions in multicomponent thermodynamics are also addressed. Connections between these concentration-based quantities and the more common molality-based preferential interaction coefficients are also derived. The pair correlation functions and preferential interaction coefficients of both solvent (water) and cosolvent (osmolyte) in the neighborhood of a macromolecule contain contributions from short-range repulsions and generic long-range attractions originating from the macromolecule, as well as from osmolyte-solvent exchange reactions beyond the macromolecular surface. These contributions are evaluated via a heuristic analysis that leads to simple insightful expressions for the preferential interaction coefficients in terms of the volumes excluded to the centers of the water and osmolyte molecules and a sum over the contributions of exchanging sites in the surrounding solution. The preferential interaction coefficients are predicted to exhibit the experimentally observed dependence on osmolyte concentration. Molality-based preferential interaction coefficients that were reported for seven different osmolytes interacting with bovine serum albumin are analyzed using the this formulation together with geometrical parameters reckoned from the crystal structure of human serum albumin. In all cases, the excluded volume contribution, which is the volume excluded to osmolyte centers minus that excluded to water centers in units of V¯1, exceeds in magnitude the contribution of the exchange reactions. Under the assumption that the exchange contribution is dominated by sites in the first surface-contiguous layer, the ratio of the average exchange constant to its neutral random value is determined for each osmolyte. These ratios all lie in the range 1.0±0.15, which indicates rather slight deviations from random occupation near the macromolecular surface. Finally, a mechanism is proposed whereby the chemical identity of an osmolyte might be concealed from partially ordered multilayers of water in clefts, grooves, and pits, and its consequences are noted.

Multiple Subunit Fitting into a Low-Resolution Density Map of a Macromolecular Complex Using a Gaussian Mixture Model Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 10, 15 November 2008, Pages 4643-4658 Takeshi Kawabata Abstract Recently, electron microscopy measurement of single particles has enabled us to reconstruct a low-resolution 3D density map of large biomolecular complexes. If structures of the complex subunits can be solved by x-ray crystallography at atomic resolution, fitting these models into the 3D density map can generate an atomic resolution model of the entire large complex. The fitting of multiple subunits, however, generally requires large computational costs; therefore, development of an efficient algorithm is required. We developed a fast fitting program, "gmfit", which employs a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to represent approximated shapes of the 3D density map and the atomic models. A GMM is a distribution function composed by adding together several 3D Gaussian density functions. Because our model analytically provides an integral of a product of two distribution functions, it enables us to quickly calculate the fitness of the density map and the atomic models. Using the integral, two types of potential energy function are introduced: the attraction potential energy between a 3D density map and each subunit, and the repulsion potential energy between subunits. The restraint energy for symmetry is also employed to build symmetrical origomeric complexes. To find the optimal configuration of subunits, we randomly generated initial configurations of subunit models, and performed a steepest-descent method using forces and torques of the three potential energies. Comparison between an original density map and its GMM showed that the required number of Gaussian distribution functions for a given accuracy depended on both resolution and molecular size. We then performed test fitting calculations for simulated low-resolution density maps of atomic models of homodimer, trimer, and hexamer, using different search parameters. The results indicated that our method was able to rebuild atomic models of a complex even for maps of 30Å resolution if sufficient numbers (eight or more) of Gaussian distribution functions were employed for each subunit, and the symmetric restraints were assigned for complexes with more than three subunits. As a more realistic test, we tried to build an atomic model of the GroEL/ES complex by fitting 21-subunit atomic models into the 3D density map obtained by cryoelectron microscopy using the C7 symmetric restraints. A model with low root mean-square deviations (14.7Å) was obtained as the lowest-energy model, showing that our fitting method was reasonably accurate. Inclusion of other restraints from biological and biochemical experiments could further enhance the accuracy. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1876 kb) |
Robust Biased Brownian Dynamics for Rate Constant Calculation Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 4, 1 October 2003, Pages 2147-2157 Gang Zou and Robert D. Skeel Abstract A reaction probability is required to calculate the rate constant of a diffusion-dominated reaction. Due to the complicated geometry and potentially high dimension of the reaction probability problem, it is usually solved by a Brownian dynamics simulation, also known as a random walk or path integral method, instead of solving the equivalent partial differential equation by a discretization method. Building on earlier work, this article completes the development of a robust importance sampling algorithm for Brownian dynamics—i.e., biased Brownian dynamics with weight control—to overcome the high energy and entropy barriers in biomolecular association reactions. The biased Brownian dynamics steers sampling by a bias force, and the weight control algorithm controls sampling by a target weight. This algorithm is optimal if the bias force and the target weight are constructed from the solution of the reaction probability problem. In reality, an approximate reaction probability has to be used to construct the bias force and the target weight. Thus, the performance of the algorithm depends on the quality of the approximation. Given here is a method to calculate a good approximation, which is based on the selection of a reaction coordinate and the variational formulation of the reaction probability problem. The numerically approximated reaction probability is shown by computer experiments to give a factor-of-two speedup over the use of a purely heuristic approximation. Also, the fully developed method is compared to unbiased Brownian dynamics. The tests for human superoxide dismutase, Escherichia coli superoxide dismutase, and antisweetener antibody NC6.8, show speedups of 17, 35, and 39, respectively. The test for reactions between two model proteins with orientations shows speedups of 2578 for one set of configurations and 3341 for another set of configurations.

Ramzi Alsallaq and Huan-Xiang Zhou,
Address correspondence to Huan-Xiang Zhou, Tel.: 850-645-1336.Formation of a stereospecific protein complex is favored by specific interactions between two proteins but disfavored by the loss of translational and rotational freedom. Echoing the protein folding process, we have previously proposed a transition state for protein-protein association. Here we clarify the specification of the transition state by working with two types of toy models for protein association. A "hemisphere" model consists of two matching hemispheres as associating proteins, and a "crater" model consists of a spherical protein with a crater to which another spherical protein fits snugly. Short-range pairwise interactions between sites across the interface hold together the bound complex. Small relative translation and rotation between the subunits quickly destroy the interactions, leading to a sharp transition between the bound state with numerous short-range interactions but restricted translation and rotational freedom and the unbound state with, at most, a small number of interactions but expanded configurational freedom. This transition sets the outer boundary of the bound state as well as the transition state for association. The energy landscape is funnel-like, with the deep well of the bound state surrounded by a broad shallow basin. Calculations with the toy models suggest that mutational change in the interaction energy in the x-ray structure of a protein-protein complex, commonly used to approximate the effect on the association constant, overestimates the effect of mutation by 10–20%. With an eye toward specifying the transition states of actual protein complexes, we find that the total number of contacts between the subunits serves as a good surrogate of the interaction energy. This formalism of protein-protein association is applied to the barnase-barstar complex, reproducing the experimental results for the association rate over a wide range of ionic strength.

When I go to open the files, to check if the changes have been made, obviously to rename works on the Top Assembly,
BUT for other additional refereced files, it doesn't.
I am doing this in a Single User Project.
Just wondering if there are other steps that need to be done to use Design Assistant properly.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Can you post a screen shot of DA the way you have it setup to rename the files?
See "Screen Shot" of DA, attached. Hope this is what you were asking for. Thanks for the help.
Actually what I was hoping to see was how you had the Action and Name columns setup when you do the rename.
Do you have a smaller assembly you can test with?
Are you referring to the options that pop up when I right-click on the Action and Name columns?
See the attachment.
If not, please elaborate.
So after you have selected rename in the action, you will change the Name (this is the file name).
Then hit save, and that component will be renamed.
Is that what you are trying to do?
Thats exactly what I am trying to do. But I would also like the files to be reflected in all the referenced files.
So you are renaming a subassembly, and you also want to rename the components referenced by the sub?
I would like to rename a part. The new part (and file name) as I understand it, if renamed in DA, should be reflected in the top assembly, which the part is in. And with DA, it can also be reflected in the referenced drawings.
So after you rename a part, then open the assembly drawing, the new part name is not showing up?
I guess I am not really understanding the problem, sorry.

Skimmed Milk Cuts Hypertension RiskPosted: Thursday, December 08, 2005The two-year study, from the University of Navarro in Spain, followed 6000 patients eating a Mediterranean diet, with its particularly high intake of monosaturated fatty acids.
"This is the first study that showed an inverse association between the consumption of low-fat dairy products and incident hypertension," reported lead author Alvaro Alonso. There are an estimated 10m people in the UK with hypertension, defined as having blood pressure higher than 140/90 mmHg. High fat diets have long been identified as a prime factor in increasing the risk of hypertension. This has led to a switch by many consumers to lower fat products. In the UK, semi-skimmed, or half-fat milk, now accounts for 60 per cent of total milk sales. Skimmed milk is also growing in popularity, now accounting for a further 14 per cent of the total. The Spanish researchers now suggest that special proteins in milk actually cut the risk of hypertension in a way that is countered when the full fat content is retained. "Milk proteins – both caseins and whey proteins – are a rich source of angiotension converting enzyme inhibitory peptides. In animal models, these proteins… have been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure," Alonso writes in this month's issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "It is plausible that saturated fats in whole-fat dairy products somehow neutralize the beneficial effect of dairy protein." "We showed that the beneficial effect of low-fat dairy Source: Diabetes In Control |

Will Hamlin Interview
Will Hamlin Interview
Goddard Videos
Will Hamlin taught at Goddard from 1948 to 2001. He cared deeply about literature, art, education and the natural world, andserved Goddard for fifty years in his renaissance fashion. He was passionate about education and the philosophy of education. Versed in Dewey, Kilpatrick and other luminaries of the progressive education movement, he worked to realize their ideas at Goddard with the students he mentored and taught, as well as other faculty and staff. For decades, he worked as the College's editor, writing and editing the catalogue, the Goddard Bulletin, and other publications. Will loved language, and tended to its details and precise usage. He crafted the ideas of Tim Pitkin and his other colleagues into articulate prose that represented their vision in the larger world. When focus at the College sometimes drifted from the ideals ofprogressive education, Will reminded his colleagues and students – sometimes none too gently – of the importance of Goddard's mission, and its stewardship of larger principles. We are grateful for his lasting contributions to the College. Will passed away on August 4th, 2009.

January 2013, TruckingInfo.com - Feature
by Bill Caudill, commercial auto product manager at Progressive
Fact: There are a couple of options to look into. First, request a policy review from your insurance agent or carrier to make sure your truck value and premiums are up-to-date. They'll work with you to adjust your coverage limits if applicable.Another option to investigate? Payment plans. Rather than paying your policy premium in one annual payment or quarterly installments, you may be able to spread your premium over monthly payments, helping your insurance bill fall in line with your cash flow.Myth: When my trucks are out of use or in storage, I should cancel the insurance policy. There's no need to insure my truck if it isn't on the road.Fact: Consider moving to a storage or comprehensive-only policy during temporary down time. This will protect your truck from things like theft, vandalism and fire while it's in storage, while also keeping continuous coverage, which can keep your overall insurance bill lower. Myth: When it comes to my truck, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.Fact: Regularly checking your brakes and not overloading your truck is a very proactive approach to keeping your insurance premiums low. To put it in terms of dollars and cents, a pattern of equipment violations could cost a trucker an additional $300 to $2,000 in annual insurance premium. The routine maintenance pays off long-term.Myth: All insurance companies handle their own claims with employed claims representatives.Fact: Some insurance companies use third-party claims representatives. Check if your insurer has representatives specially trained to handle commercial auto claims. The better your claims service is, the quicker you'll be back on the road.Myth: The economy is rough, so I should consider canceling my coverage all together, or at least lower to minimum liability, just until profits rebound.Fact: Don't do it. Here's why:1. Going without minimum liability insurance is illegal in many states and should only be an option if you are temporarily putting your vehicle out of service. 2. Dropping your insurance now means you'll pay more to get a new policy later since most insurance companies want to see proof of continuous coverage to get the best rate. 3. You might not be the only one looking to save money, and if your truck is hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you could be left paying for damages.Myth: All insurers offer 24/7 claims service.Fact: Not necessarily. Some commercial auto insurers may have limited hours, which could affect your ability to get back on the road fast.Wonder if one of your perceptions about vehicle insurance is myth or fact? Talk to a local independent agent. He or she can answer those questions and help you determine which coverages are right for your business. Independent agents can offer multiple coverage packages, prices and service levels because they represent a variety of companies.Progressive, in business since 1937, offers a wide range of coverages, including non-trucking liability coverage, cargo insurance, refrigeration breakdown endorsement and general liability insurance.Read more about saving on insurance and other business expenses in HDT's May 2012 cover story, 10 Ways to Cut Business Costs.

You know, I like Soriano and I appreciate how hard he works and helps the young guys but that is what drives me crazy about him. Rizzo walks on 4 pitches that weren't close. Soriano comes up and hacks at the first pitch. I'm sure it was a strike and he hit it hard but that's bad baseball.
Posted 09 April 2013 - 06:28 PM
With the way he pitched last year there shouldn't be any haters. He gave the Cubs a lot of chances to win last year. If he is going to miss I sure wish it would be down. Must of had 9 quality starts last year.I still like Travis Wood.
I liked him last year, in spite of all the haters.
Hate his mullet, though.

Nancy Beck, Ph.D., who recently joined PCRM's research advocacy department, focuses on promoting alternatives to the use of animals in toxicity testing. Dr. Beck brings significant expertise to her position thanks to her graduate and postdoctoral work in microbiology, along with many years' experience as an academic research scientist.
Dr. Beck left research and joined PCRM for a more socially conscious career in science. During her thesis work, Dr. Beck used infant mice in experiments designed to increase knowledge of cholera. As she gained experience in these types of experiments, she realized that animals were a poor model for the disease for many reasons. Dr. Beck now uses her scientific background to explore and promote alternatives to animal experimentation.
Dr. Beck monitors the methods used for regulatory toxicity testing, attends governmental organization meetings, writes comments on animal-testing guidelines, and monitors the progress of the implementation of nonanimal methods.

text: On Monday, June 6th, the new report Striplining the Pacific: The Case for A United Nations Moratorium on High Seas Industrial Longline Fishing will be released at the United Nations Law of the Sea meeting June 6-10th. The new book length report echoes the sentiment of Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martins call on May 1st to end the pillage and rape of the ocean at an international fisheries conference this week. Prime Minister Martin said in his address to the international conference on The Governance of High Seas Fisheries and the UN Fish Agreement Moving from Words to Action.: Canada joins other nations in looking for concerted action against the systemic pillage of our oceans and their resources. We and by we, I mean the global community need to see concrete results in a short period of time. At the end of his talk, the Prime Minister also added: Tonight, Im asking you to build on this global consensus. Im asking you to seize this historic occasion, and begin the process to stop the rape of our fisheries and oceans, once and for all. Prime Minister Martins call to end the systemic pillage and rape of the ocean echoes the mounting international call on the UN to end the pillaging of the Pacific by longline fishing, said Robert Ovetz, PhD, Coordinator of the Save the Leatherback Campaign. When this conference wraps up tomorrow, we hope Canada will support this effort as well move from words to action. The new book Striplining the Pacific outlines how high seas industrial longline fishing is rapidly pillaging the Pacific of both targeted fish and non-targeted marine wildlife. A rash of recent scientific reports have documented not only the decline of large predatory fish such as tuna, shark and billfish by as much as 87% since the 1950s but also warn of the extinction of the leatherback sea turtle in the next 5-30 years and the extinction of the loggerhead sea turtle and black-footed albatross seabird. Longlining is considered by scientists one of the biggest threats to these species. In response to this crisis, the Sea Turtle Restoration Project submitted a recommended plan of action that will be considered at UN Law of the Sea meeting that calls for a moratorium on high seas longline fishing until such time that these species are no longer threatened with extinction and that sustainable use Marine Protected Areas can be set up on the high seas. The plan is an outgrowth of the 1,007 scientists from 97 countries and 231 non-governmental organizations from 62 countries that have signed a letter to Secretary General Kofi Annan asking the UN to implement a moratorium on industrial longlining in the Pacific.

text: [Federal Register: March 13, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 49)] [Notices] [Page 11369-11370] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr13mr02-143] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration [FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA-2002-11507] Alternative Physical Qualification Standards for the Loss or Impairment of Limbs; Exemption Application for Kevin Howell AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice announces the FMCSA's receipt of an application from Mr. Kevin Howell for an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) alternative physical qualification standards for the loss or impairment of limbs. Mr. Howell's right arm was amputated at the shoulder. Mr. Howell is applying for an exemption to allow him to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate commerce without a prosthesis. Mr. Howell believes his driving record indicates that a level of safety can be achieved that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by complying with the standards for the loss or impairment of limbs set forth in 49 CFR 391.41 (b)(1) and 391.49. DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 12, 2002. ADDRESSES: You can mail or deliver comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Dockets Management Facility, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001. You can also submit comments as well as see the submissions of other commenters at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://dms.dot.gov. Please include the docket number that appears in the heading of this document. You can examine and copy this document and all comments received at the same Internet address or at the Dockets Management Facility from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you want to know that we received [[Page 11370]] your comments, please include a self-addressed, stamped postcard or include a copy of the acknowledgement page that appears after you submit comments electronically. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the exemption in this notice, Ms. Teresa Doggett, Office of Bus and Truck Standards and Operations, (202) 366-2990; for information about legal issues related to this notice, Mr. Joseph Solomey, Office of the Chief Counsel, (202) 366-1374, FMCSA, Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C) sections 31315 and 31136, requires the FMCSA to publish a notice in the Federal Register for each exemption requested, explaining that the request has been filed; providing the public with an opportunity to inspect the safety analysis and any other relevant information known to the agency; and commenting on the request (49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4)(A)). Prior to granting a request for an exemption, the agency must publish in the Federal Register the name of the person granted the exemption, the provisions from which the person will be exempt, the effective period, and all terms and conditions of the exemption (49 U.S.C. 31315 (b)(4)(B)). The terms and conditions established by FMCSA must ensure that the exemption will likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption (49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6)). The regulations at 49 CFR part 381 establish the procedures to be followed to request waivers and to apply for exemptions from the FMCSRs, and the procedures used to process them. FMCSA is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), including the physical qualifications of CMV drivers. Section 391.41(b)(1) of the FMCSRs states that a person is physically qualified to drive a CMV if he or she has, among other things, ``no loss of a foot, a leg, a hand or an arm, or has been granted a skill performance evaluation (SPE) certificate [previously called a `waiver'] pursuant to section 391.49.'' The alternative physical qualification standards for the loss or impairment of limbs, at 49 CFR 391.49(d)(3)(i)(B), include a requirement that applicants for SPE certificates include with their applications a medical evaluation summary that, among other things, establishes that ``*-*-*the applicant is capable of demonstrating precision prehension (e.g., manipulating knobs and switches) and power grasp prehension (e.g., holding and maneuvering the steering wheel) with each upper limb separately'' [emphasis added]. Kevin Howell's Application for an Exemption Mr. Kevin Howell is a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver whose right arm was amputated at the shoulder. He is an owner-operator motor carrier and his principal place of business is located in Hooper, Utah. On November 3, 2001, Mr. Howell applied for a SPE certification by filing an application with the FMCSA's Utah State Director. By letter dated November 19, 2001, Mr. Howell's SPE application was deferred until he obtained a prosthetic or orthotic device and could demonstrate the power grasp and precision prehension required under the alternative physical qualification standards of 49 CFR 391.49. On November 21, 2001, Mr. Howell applied for an exemption from the Federal alternative physical qualification standards for the loss or impairment of limbs and the use of a prosthetic device when operating CMVs in interstate commerce (49 CFR 391.41(b)(1) and 49 CFR 391.49). A copy of the application is in the docket. Mr. Howell indicated in his application that he was granted a limb waiver in 1973 that allows him to operate without a prosthetic device when driving CMVs in interstate commerce. The agency has no record of the waiver. If a waiver had been issued, Mr. Howell would have been required to renew the waiver every 2 years in accordance with conditions applicable to waivers at the time. The FMCSA has records for other drivers who were granted limb waivers in the 1970's and who have renewed their waivers every 2 years, however, we find no record that Mr. Howell sought a renewal in the years following 1973. Mr. Howell stated in his application for exemption that he has had his Class A CDL for 27 years, with no restrictions other than corrective lenses. He owns and operates a CMV with manual transmission on the right side of the steering column. He indicated that he transports cargo for various other motor carrier companies and that he will be the only driver affected if the FMCSA grants the exemption requested here. Mr. Howell stated that he does not anticipate any adverse safety impacts created by this exemption. As support for his contention, he cited his current motor vehicle driving record, with no current deficiencies, including no speeding tickets or accidents. Mr. Howell stated that he has driven over 1,000,000 miles and has never had an accident, injury or caused property damage as a result of driving without a right arm. He maintains that this clearly shows a very high level of safety and awareness, as well as excellent driving skills, ability and judgment. Request for Comments In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), FMCSA is requesting public comment from all interested persons on whether the exemption application from Mr. Kevin Howell should be granted. All comments received before the closing date will be considered and will be available for examination in the docket at the location listed under the address section of this notice. Issued on: March 8, 2002. Julie Anna Cirillo, Assistant Administrator. [FR Doc. 02-6047 Filed 3-12-02; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-EX-P

Shown in the photo are the latest HS 24(32)/192 version of the Cosecant asynchronous USB DAC (left, $4000), which features the new Denominator D/A module with 9016 ESS converters, and the new Royal preamp (right, $7500). Wavelength's Gordon Rankin walked me through the design of the minimalist preamp. The input signal is taken to a transformer hat inverts the polarity and feeds high-precision Penny & Giles two-channel attenuator. The wipers of the attenuator are connected directly to the grids of two 71A triodes and that's it! (The third tube is a rectifier.) Because the single tube stage inverts polarity, the preamp output is again in correct absolute polarity.
Gordon was playing the 24/96 version of "Babylon Sisters", from Steely Dan's Gaucho from his MacBook Air taking data from a Raid array via the new Thunderbolt connection while I was in the room. His 12W tubed single-ended monoblocks were driving Vaughan Triode speakers ($9995/pair). As this speaker has a sensitivity of 99dB/W/m, "12W is all you need to drive it," laughed Gordon.
