Access LED
Blindly rummaging around in the back of your truck on a dark winter morning is a lousy way to start the day. The new Access LED strip is specifically designed to brighten up a truck bed's cargo area. Each 12-inch strip comes with an adhesive backing so it can be installed wherever is most convenient, including the inside of a gang box. The lights are turned off and on via a mounted waterproof button and are wired right into the truck's electrical system.

Lenovo Says They Agree with Us! We say Prove It!
November 10th, 2010, posted by Allison Cook
Inspired by The Story of Electronics, hundreds of people sent letters to Lenovo President and CEO Rory Read yesterday, telling the company to green its products and ŌĆ£Make ŌĆśem Safe, Make ŌĆśem Last, and Take ŌĆśem Back.ŌĆØ Within hours,Read got back in touch to say he ŌĆ£could not agree with [us] more.ŌĆØ
WeŌĆÖre excited that Lenovo wants to do better, but with their weak track record on responsible recycling and failure to follow through on a commitment to get PVC and brominated flame retardants out of their products, weŌĆÖre not ready to take them at their word just yet.
LenovoŌĆöthe worldŌĆÖs fourth largest personal computer makerŌĆögot a D minus on the Electronics TakeBack CoalitionŌĆÖs Recycling Report Card. They have a takeback program on paper, but in reality theyŌĆÖre not making the effort to take back their products unless state laws force them to. In most states, Lenovo simply offers a dysfunctional mailback program, and, letŌĆÖs face it, almost nobodyŌĆÖs mailing back their electronics for recycling. In Texas, for example, they collected a paltry 458 lbs of e-waste in 2009. (By comparison, Dell collected 13 million lbs in Texas). We know Lenovo can do better!
In his letter, the Lenovo CEO said that his company is getting ready to release a new sustainability report that demonstrates their commitment to making clean, green, long-lasting products. If Read really agrees with us, this report should include LenovoŌĆÖs commitment to:
ŌĆó Work only with recyclers who are certified to the rigorous e-Stewards recycling standard;
ŌĆó Make a real effort to get back their products in the U.S., by offering convenient, well publicized collection sites in all states;
ŌĆó Provide full transparency on their recycling vendors, detailed vendor requirements, and volumes collected by state;
ŌĆó Support federal legislation to stop global e-waste dumping from the U.S.; and
ŌĆó Design out the toxics and design in closed loop recycling, so products collected can be recycled into new Lenovo products
So, go ahead and show us what youŌĆÖre made of, Lenovo! Prove that youŌĆÖre truly committed to going green.

I've discovered some intriguing guilt-free desserts such as paleo brownies, vanilla cupcakes that actually contain cannellini beans, and a new variation on the traditional blueberry muffin. The greatest discovery, though, was a new flour that I now consider one of my very favourites. It's low GI (glycemic) and gluten-free: coconut flour.
Did you know the combination of high heat and fat/oil can generate toxic substances which are harmful to our health or that water diminishes Vitamins B and C and fat reduces Vitamin A, D, E and K? These are my top healthy cooking methods. There are eight of them - challenge yourself to try a different one each day this week.
When it's too hot, we complain, too wet, we complain, too cold, we complain, too windy, we complain. Complain, Complain, Complain... We complain about the weather, life, health, people... We all do it. Complaining comes quite naturally to us, doesn't it? Sometimes we don't even realise we're doing it.
Someone said to me in the office the other day that perhaps in the future people will look back at this time in history and compare our current obesity crisis as the same way that we now view the harm that smoking cigarettes causes. "Why did we not do more about educating our children about good food and how to cook it?" we might be saying.

Video Illuminates a Brain Cell
USC Dornsife's Don Arnold was a lead researcher on a recent article in Cell Reports. Sarmad Al-Bassam, USC Dornsife Ph.D. student in molecular biology, was lead author of the article.
Using bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish, a team of scientists has lit up the inside of a neuron, capturing video footage that shows the movement of proteins throughout the cell.
The video offers a rare peek at how proteins, the brain's building blocks, are directed through neurons to renew its structure.
"Your brain is being disassembled and reassembled every day," said Don Arnold, associate professor of molecular and computational biology in USC Dornsife, a lead researcher on the project and an author of an article about the study that appeared in Cell Reports on July 26.
"One week from today, your brain will be made up of completely different proteins than it is today," Arnold said. "This video shows the process. We've known that it was happening, but now we can watch it happen."
The imaging technique was used to cast new light on how proteins are directed to one of the two types of compartments inside the neuron: the axon or the dendrites.
The axon is the region of the cell responsible for transmitting electrical signals to other cells, while the dendrites receive signals from other cells.
"It's been known for many decades that proteins are specifically targeted to one compartment or the other. However, we couldn't understand how the targeting occurs until we could actually watch the proteins traveling to one compartment or to the other," said Sarmad Al-Bassam, USC Dornsife Ph.D. student in molecular biology and lead author of the article.
Since the mid-1990s, scientists have been able to illuminate the proteins inside of cells, including neurons, by attaching a protein isolated from jellyfish — known as green fluorescent protein (GFP) — that fluoresces bright green when exposed to blue light.
Martin Chalfie of Columbia University, Roger Tsien of the University of California, San Diego, and Osamu Shimomura of Boston University were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for the discovery and development of GFP.
The problem with studying the flow of illuminated proteins inside of neurons is that there are several different overlapping pathways within the cell, making it difficult to study the traffic through just one.
Al-Bassam and his colleagues solved this issue by developing a new technique that involves damming up a single pathway, which creates a backlog of transport vesicles (little bubbles that travel up and down neurons carrying membrane protein cargo) impregnated with the illuminated proteins. They then use a small-molecule drug to release the backlog all at once in a bright pulse.
"Our result was very surprising," Arnold said. "We found that rather than being targeted specifically to the dendrites, vesicles carrying proteins initially enter both compartments, but then are stopped and prevented from moving beyond the initial segment of the axon."
Al-Bassam and Arnold worked with USC Dornsife postdoctoral fellow Min Xu, as well as Thomas Wandless, professor at Stanford University.
The research was funded by National Institutes of Health grants NS-041963 and MH-086381.

Sleep Disorders: 20 Sleep Disorders You Should Avoid
Everyone needs quality sleep every single night, but lifestyle choices and hurdles make sleep disorders more common than good sleep. This poor sleeping pattern has serious repercussions on our health, and the first thing we notice is unhealthy weight gain or weight loss, low concentration, and mood swings.
If you have trouble sleeping almost every day and this lack of sleep is affecting your day-to-day routine, then you may be suffering from one of the many (and most common) sleep disorders. You will be surprised to know that there are many more sleep disorders than just insomnia and sleep apnea. Today, we help you learn about these various sleep disorders and their symptoms, so that you can take action and treat these conditions before they take a toll on your life. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images

5 min walk from centre. Clean enough, although the showers constantly ran cold. Our room had a balcony which was great. Would recommend.

Our passports were taken on arrival, and when checking out they were not given back. The woman then left the hostel. We had a train that evening and we could not leave without our passports, a phone was available to ring owners if desk was unattended, but it was broken. We missed our train, and got no apology. The woman then charged us transportation to catch another train she told us would get us to our next destination, but turned out it didn't, when we rang her she hung up on us. Bad service!

Today's Tarot for Ridley Scott
Three Fates
spread is an exceptionally popular way to gain insight into the emerging arc of the past, present, and future. The
Ator Tarot
is a smart and whimsical spin on Rider Waite symbolism. The clunky and adorable characters of the Ator Tarot make it the deck of choice for those seeking a refreshing approach to divination. If you would like your own copy of the Ator Tarot, you can
buy it now
The left card represents an
important element of the past
Page of Pentacles, when reversed
: The dark essence of earth, such as a chasm: Unfavorable news about business, finance, or the physical world. One who delights in all forms of luxury and physical excess, leaving practical matters unattended. Irrationality and failure to recognize obvious facts, coupled with a poor work ethic. Wastefulness, lack of focus, and loss. May portend the loss of a job or promotion.
The middle card represents a
deciding element of the present
Three of Pentacles (Works), when reversed
: Delays in the commencement of business, commercial transactions, or employment. Holding back or failing to use one's abilities to their full potential. Shoddy workmanship and lack of attention to detail. Being hamstrung by convention, or failing to temper artistic fancy with an understanding of reality.
The right card represents a
critical element of the future
The Fool, when reversed
: Apathy, negligence, and dangerous carelessness. Unquenchable wanderlust. Obsession with someone or something. Losing all sense of proportion. Foolhardy adventuring and lack of interest in critical matters. Immature or unrealistic ideals. Strange impulses and desires coming from unexpected sources. Vanity, delirium, folly, and oblivion.

Hunt vows 'no more NHS cover-ups'
The NHS will have a legal duty to reveal mistakes on wards and will adopt a 'culture of zero harm'.
The NHS will have a legal duty to reveal mistakes on wards and will adopt a 'culture of zero harm'.
The Health Secretary's response came after failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which highlighted the suffering of hundreds of people.
A public inquiry has blamed a failure 'at every level' of the NHS for the abuses at Stafford Hospital that resulted in hundreds of deaths.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is due to announce his decision on whether the scandal-hit Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust should be dissolved.
Mid Staffordshire was the focus of one of the biggest scandals in the history of the NHS when hundreds more people died than would normally be expected.
The Francis Inquiry last year found examples of "appalling and unnecessary suffering of hundreds of people", with some left lying in their own faeces for days and drinking from vases.
Administrators have previously deemed the trust financially "unsustainable", claiming it would face annual debts of more than £40 million by 2017 without changes.
– Christina McAnea, UNISON head of Health
Today's news is deeply worrying for patients, staff and local people. More than 15,000 local residents have already signed a petition calling for the hospital to keep its acute services. It is vital that these views are listened to and acted upon at all stages of the consultation process.
Hospital staff and managers have put many hours of hard work into trying to turn this hospital around after the tragic lapses of care that occurred.
There is money available to bail out banks, there should be money available to bail out vital local services such as hospitals. The government must step in.
Dr. Hugo Mascie Taylor and Alan Bloom, from accountancy firm Ernst and Young, will head the administrators.
The consultation will last 45 days followed by a 10 week review period, before any changes can be implemented.
Health regulator Monitor has appointed administrators to look at how to make services at Stafford Hospital 'sustainable'.
The board and the governor will be suspended and the administrators will take over the running of the hospital.
They will have 45 days to produce proposals which will then be open to public consultation.
The chairman of the inquiry into the scandal at the Mid Staffordshire hospital trust has welcomed the government's response to his report - but warned that it will only be judged properly "over the next few months".
Robert Francis told the Health Service Journal last night:
"Even though it is clear it does not accept all my recommendations, the government's statement today indicates its determination to make positive changes to the culture of the NHS, in part by adopting some of my recommendations and in part through other initiatives."
He added: "The overall effectiveness of the response will have to be judged on the detail developed over the next few months, and the decisions taken about recommendations on which no decision has been taken at this time."
The NHS will have a legal duty to reveal mistakes on wards and will adopt a 'culture of zero harm'.Read the full story
The Head of Nursing at Unison says even if recruitment standards are consistent across the country, today's recommendations don't go far enough. Ail Adams said:
"Nurses have been trained in the fundamentals of care.
"But I think the Government has fallen short today with staffing levels. It's all very well to recommend the health watchdog NICE develops the guidelines for them to be applied locally."
"But if we look at other international models, in America and Australia they have minimum nurse to patient ratios."
Speaking to ITV News Julie Bailey, from the 'Cure the NHS' campaign, said today's announcement only amounted to a small step in the right direction.
She added:
"We know there are failings in the NHS now and there's nothing being done about it. We need to ensure the culture changes, and the behaviour of the people in the NHS, and that starts at the top.
"These were systemic failings from the ward right to the top of Whitehall. I don't seem to see anything in the recommendations to ensure that Whitehall has learnt."

By Steve Stark FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Herculean, monumental, massive, unprecedented — all of these words have been used to describe the undertaking we know as R4D, and the October – December 2013 issue of Army AL&T magazine goes in depth on the effort, underway right now, to retrograde, reset, redeploy, redistribute and dispose of the material accumulated in Afghanistan over more than a decade of war there. And it's ongoing, even as new capabilities, such as Capability Set 13, are being deployed. Robots, medical supplies, UAVs, wheeled and tracked vehicles, and much, much more – the effort to scale down our materiel in Afghanistan by the end of […]

Week 17: Start 'Em
WR Emmanuel Sanders, DEN
Emmanuel Sanders will be hitting free agency at just the right time. Sanders has already surpassed his career high in all receiving categories and will look to add to it this week vs. the Browns. Look for shut down corner Joe Haden to cover Antonio Brown, leaving Sanders to make the plays. Last time these two teams met, Sanders had six receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Look for much of the same this time around. Sanders' value is higher in PPR leagues. He did slip and fall in the game against Green Bay, so follow his practice situation. If he plays, start him.
TE Greg Olsen, CAR
If you need a TE in the finals, look no further than Greg Olsen. Olsen has been one of the most consistent TEs in fantasy this season. Though he will never be mistaken for Jimmy Graham as Olsen has only caught less than four passes, three times this season and only had less than 40 yards, on five occasions. Carolina clinched a playoff spot, but still wants to clinch the division and a first round bye, so they will be going all out in week 17. Last week Olsen led Carolina with seven targets after Steve Smith left the game early. With Smith highly doubtful, look for Olsen to have a big week in a very important game for the Panthers

My name is Leah Igdalsky, and I am a senior at Brandeis University. I have worked at Greater Waltham Arc (GWArc) part-time for four years, beginning in the fall of my freshman year. As I prepare to graduate in May, I want to let the Waltham community know about the incredible work GWArc does, and about an exciting event on Friday, May 2.
Working at GWArc has allowed me to get involved and make a difference in the Waltham community, rather than staying inside my campus "bubble." I am proud that my efforts benefit an organization that does such meaningful work for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have learned so much at GWArc, and have decided that following my passion for working with and for people with disabilities will be my career.
GWArc is a staple in the Waltham community, founded in 1956 (more than 57 years ago) by a group of concerned parents who believed that their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserved to live in the community, rather than be sent to institutions. GWArc provides day habilitation, supported employment in the community, group supported employment (work crews in the cafeterias and facilities at Brandeis and Bentley), School to Work Transitions programming at Waltham High School, recreation activities, Adult Family Care and more. I have been blown away by the passion and dedication of the GWArc staff.
As a development associate, I am working hard with my colleagues to plan an event called "Ciao Down for GWArc." This will be the fifth year of this annual community dinner/fundraiser. On Friday, May 2, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Embassy Suites Waltham (our generous event host), the community will come together for a family-friendly, delicious Italian buffet dinner, music, silent auction, raffle and more. There is truly something for everyone at "Ciao Down," and we have some amazing auction and raffle prizes, from Red Sox tickets to Disney World passes and much more.
I hope to see many neighbors at "Ciao Down" on May 2. For the bargain price of $15 for adults and $9 for children, seniors and adults with special needs, you can enjoy a delicious dinner and a fun, festive evening with community members while supporting GWArc.
Leah Igdalsky is a student at Brandeis University in the Class of 2014.

Rick Perry's constitutional views are again sparking controversy. As Ruth Marcus notes, Perry previously called for a constitutional amendment to empower Congress to overturn Supreme Court decisions by two-thirds votes.

Philip Klein reports:
A federal appeals court has ruled that the national health care law's individual mandate is unconstitutional, calling it "an unprecedented exercise of congressional power."

NPR reports, "Former President Bill Clinton said if faced with default, he would single-handedly raise the debt ceiling using the 14th Amendment and he'd do it 'without hesitation, and force the courts to stop me.'"
Well, you don't see this every day -- Olympia Snowe and Jim DeMint have teamed up to produce this Wall Street Journal op-ed about the need for a balanced budget amendment:
Time magazine is nothing if not direct. Featuring a picture of the Constitution, the bottom half of which has been run through a shredder, today's cover asks: "Does it Still Matter?"
Inside the magazine, Time Managing Editor Richard Stengel spends nearly 5,000 words explaining that it kind of does, except when it doesn't, though who is to say when, exactly, because it doesn't tell us anything specific about terrorists and health care and collateralized debt.
On Monday, in the case of Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, the Supreme Court struck down a California law prohibiting the sale of violent video games to children. In a 7-2 holding authored by Justice Antonin Scalia (with Justices Alito and Roberts concurring and Justices Thomas and Breyer dissenting), the Court ruled that video games enjoy essentially the same constitutional protection as books, with violent video games being, in Scalia's estimation, much like modern day Grimm's Fairy Tales.
As military operations continue in Libya without formal congressional authorization, the debate about presidential war powers has resumed. Last week, former secretary of state James A. Baker III and former congressman Lee H. Hamilton jumped into the fray, writing a Washington Post op-ed calling for the passage of the War Powers Consultation Act. A product of the bipartisan National War Powers Commission, both the op-ed and the legislation, while not likely to gain much traction politically, contain fundamental mistakes about the proper functioning of our constitutional system—mistakes that are much more troubling because they arise from a bipartisan consensus.
Steve Hayes, with Mara Liasson and Charles Krauthammer, last night on Fox News:
Harvard professor Harvey Mansfield reviews Eric A. Posner and Adrian Vermeule's The Executive Unbound: After the Madisonian Republic in the New York Times:
In September 1787, the Constitution was submitted to the states for ratification. The Pennsylvania Assembly met to pass legislation creating a convention that would decide if the state should sign on to the newly reconceived United States. But something was missing: a quorum. Several anti-Federalist lawmakers, determined to defeat the new Constitution, refused to show up for work, paralyzing the assembly.
President Obama has now decided that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, is unconstitutional. Thus, the Obama administration says that it will no longer defend that federal law in court. On the campaign trail, President Obama repeatedly asserted that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Now, the president has apparently decided that his own view, at least when codified as federal law, is unconstitutional.
Mike Lee, a former Supreme Court clerk for Justice Alito, is an experienced appellate litigator. (He's the son of President Reagan's legendary solicitor general, Rex Lee, no less.) Lee also served the federal government as an assistant U.S. attorney, and the state government of Utah as Governor Jon Huntsman's General Counsel.
Whether House Republicans will succeed in limiting the national government is a question raised by a simple rule adopted on their first day in the majority. Under the rule, every bill when introduced must be accompanied by a statement citing the specific authority granted to Congress by the Constitution under which it may pass the proposed law. Lacking such a statement, the bill will be returned to its sponsor.
Charles Krauthammer writes in the Washington Post:
For days, Democrats have made clear their displeasure with the Republican leadership's decision to begin the new House term with a reading of the U.S. Constitution. But Democrats' specific grievance, immediately before the reading commenced, was a surprise: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and others demanded a reading of portions of the Constitution that had been superseded by amendments -- most notably, the "three-fifths" clause of the original 1787 Constitution, which denied slave states the ability to boost their representation in the House of Representatives by counting the total number of slaves as part of their population, while simultaneously excluding them from the body politic.

How Not to Become Drunk
There are the twelve steps of alcoholics anonymous, and then there are these seven rules of our drinks correspondent
By David Wondrich
This December will mark ten years that I've been drinking for Esquire. As fine a job as that is, it has certain hazards, and I owe the fact that I'm still employed, housed, and married to a set of rules I've developed. I don't always follow them, but I regret it when I don't.
Joselito Briones/istockBack Next
1. When There Will Be Drinking, Be the First to Drink
Better to be a leader than a follower, and this way you get to set the terms Scotches rather than Jägerbombs.
Ryerson Clark/istockBack Next
2. Do Not Be Competitive
There are no rules that say you have to match everyone drink for drink or be the last drunk standing. Except, of course, when there are like when you're throwing back mizuwari with Japanese salarymen, or doing anything at all with Russians.
Nathan Watkins/istockBack Next
3. Better a Wasted Drink Than a Wasted Drinker
Just because it's sitting there in front of you is no reason to drink something, even if it's really, really good or really, really expensive. There will always be more booze.
Marcelo Wain/istockBack Next
4. Count Your Drinks
Not that you need some strict, inflexible quota. But if you lose count, you know what that means.
Giorgio Fochesato/istockBack Next
5. One Drink After 10:00 P.M. Equals Two Before 10:00 P.M.
One drink after 4:00 A.M. equals well, it scarcely matters. If you're up drinking at 4:00 A.M., you're screwed anyway.
Stephane Bidouze/istockBack Next
6. Beware the Bottomless Glass of Cab
It's not just cabernet any big red wine is packed with alcohol and histamines, and when it flows freely at the dinner table, it's hard to keep track of how much of it you're sinking. This will make for a most unpleasant morning, particularly if you round it off with a glass or two of port and a couple of inches of Highland Park.

7. When You Need to Leave, Leave
Just leave.
