Title: "Solid/gas Biocatalysis, an Efficient Tool for Fundamental Studies on Enzyme Activity and Selectivity"
Authors: M. Graber, A. Mensi, N. Fniter, B. Belkhiria and Z. Marton
Affiliations: UMR 7266 CNRS-ULR, LIENSS, LIttoral ENvironnement SociétéS, Université de La Rochelle, Pôle Sciences et Technologie, Bâtiment Marie Curie, Avenue Michel Crépeau, 17042 La Rochelle, France
Abstract: From the middle of the 1980s, it was demonstrated that solid–gas biocatalysis was possible with enzymes usually acting on liquid substrates, with several examples of enzyme in the dry state acting on gaseous substrates. Different isolated enzymes were tested successfully such as the horse liver dehydrogenase, the Sulfolobus solfataricus dehydrogenase, the Pischia pastoris alcohol oxidase, the baker's yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and lipolytic enzymes. This opened a new research area that led to the definition of new continuous cleaner processes for single or multi steps biotransformations, involving either enzymatic solid–gas bioreactors or microbial set-ups.
Since solid–gas bioreactors allow control and independent variation of the thermodynamic activity of substrates and other added components, they offer the possibility to modulate and to study the effect of each component present in the microenvironment of the biocatalyst. Therefore these solid–gas systems constitute an efficient tool to understand and rationalize the effects of the microenvironment of an enzyme on its activity, selectivity and stability.
In this review, some examples of the benefits of this thermodynamic approach and control of enzymatic reactions are discussed, and an overview of some applications of solid–gas technology to fundamental studies related to the influence of the microenvironment on enzymes are given.

A group of investors led by private- equity firm Silver Lake has offered to buy a minority stake in Yahoo for about $16.60 a share, reports Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter. That would value Yahoo at about $20.6bn, or about 6 per cent higher than its market capitalisation at Tuesday's close, says the news wire. Silver Lake is working with Microsoft and Andreessen Horowitz.
Thomas H. Lee, Microsoft and Silver Lake are all reported to be looking at parts of Yahoo. Reuters says THL is interested in buying Yahoo's US operations, in contrast to other bidders who are eyeing minority stakes or teaming up with Asian partners. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the news agency says THL is hoping to do a leveraged buyout of Yahoo's US business, which could be worth $5bn to $6bn. Another group of firms, including Blackstone, Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman, is in talks to team up with China's Alibaba Group and Japan's Softbank, the report says. Meanwhile Bloomberg says Silver Lake Partners is working with Microsoft on a bid for a minority stake in Yahoo, while Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm, is also weighing a possible bid, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Microsoft is considering a bid for Yahoo, Reuters reports, citing sources close to the situation. A number of other companies including buyout shops Providence Equity Partners, Hellman & Friedman and Silver Lake Partners, and Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Russian technology investment firm DST Global, are also thought to be looking at Yahoo, the sources say. Yahoo is readying financial pitch books for potential buyers. Meanwhile the FT reports that Microsoft is set to win Brussels' approval for its planned $8.5bn (€5.9bn) acquisition of online telephone service Skype, despite its previously strained relations with European competition authorities and complaints from would-be rivals over Microsoft "bundling" the software with Windows. The US Federal Trade Commission approved the deal in June.
Shares in Yahoo are blazing in pre-market trading:
AOL could be on the verge of teaming up with private equity firms including Blackstone and Silver Lake Partners to buy up Yahoo, sources have told the WSJ. But the complexity of any buyout might yet scuttle the talks, which remain at a preliminary stage with no Yahoo involvement so far. One of the scenarios under consideration is for AOL to combine with Yahoo in a reverse merger while China's Alibaba buys back the 40 per cent stake Yahoo holds in it, Reuters reports, noting additional private-equity overtures to Newscorp. Yahoo has meanwhile taken on Goldman Sachs advisers to help it avoid a takeover, Bloomberg adds. But sector watchers think a deal would be far too complex to pull off, to say nothing of regulatory risk, FT Alphaville cautions.
Warburg Pincus and Silver Lake Partners were close to an agreement on Monday night on a buy-out of Interactive Data, in a deal valuing the publicly traded financial information company controlled by Pearson at more than $3bn, reports the FT, which is owned by Pearson. The announcement could come as early as Tuesday morning and would mark one of the biggest private equity deals since the credit crisis began.
Norway's Tandberg has been quite a-stir of late, with rumours swirling around the market that someone might be lining up an offer for the world's biggest video-conferencing equipment producer.
Now, with Tandberg reporting second quarter earnings later on Thursday, chief executive Fredrik Halvorsen will have the chance to clear things up once and for all. Read more

This off season has been one long disgusting pill to swallow for me. Even before the Lakers had disposed of the Boston Celtics, the media had gone ape wild about discussing where LeBron James would end up, or whether Wade, Bosh and James would form a "Super" team. Instead of discussing real issues like the impending Collective Bargaining talks or reporting on a fabulous, hard fought playoff season - where there were a number of great stories - we got to hear the latest on LeBron James fashion attire while holding court in Cleveland to Millionaires and Billionaires. "James arrived wearing gray sweatpants and a Nike T-shirt."
- Really........ do I have to care?Oh all right - I guess it's been a slow sports Summer. Baseball doesn't really get good until late September; Americans don't embrace the World Cup; I guess I just have to get used to media folks blowing this stuff out of proportion... it happens all the time - but do I really have to take it while these Free Agent players preen and strut around like Peacocks? Do I have to follow them, tweeting daily, about which city might be their preferred destination.. where they're visiting next; all the while keeping millions of fans in a half a dozen cities hostage?
Remember when basketball players played basketball, and the only thing they really cared about was winning and other trivial stuff like that? You know, before there was a LeBron "brand".
First we hear that His Highness will do a grand tour of all the cities with enough money to sign him - and along the way, they will be filming a documentary. Then there's this huge negative backlash, and all of a sudden - "There was never any tour planned".... ... Hmmmm, right.
Then, out of the blue, His Highness has a new twitter account and a new web site. (Don't ask me what they are, I don't care, and I won't be following him)... Seems kinda strange to be in the League 7 years - but during the very summer he becomes a Free Agent, NOW he wants to be more "connected" with his fans...... Hmmmm, right.
LeBron held court in Cleveland for three days, while Management teams from six different NBA basketball clubs arrived to kiss his feet, show him cartoons, and say "Yes, your Highness".... and "No, your Highness".. Meanwhile, the whole time teasing the fans from three cities into thinking they could actually land the best basketball player on the planet - and thereby possibly, a championship for their beloved team. (By the way Nets and Clippers fans: to quote Taylor from She's All That, "You didn't think you became popular for real, did you? Oh, you did? That's so sweet.")
Now, we have to wait for an hour long special on ESPN to find out that LeBron is staying in Cleveland. Oh - whoops - did I spoil the surprise? You didn't actually think he was leaving did you; and give up $30 Million dollars? Not a chance. But if he did the classy thing, and just resigned with his existing club (like Kobe did, and like Kevin Durant just did)- he couldn't string us all along.... and he wouldn't get any attention.
ESPN was awarded the privilege to televise this historic event because apparently Time Warner and HBO didn't have enough money to buy the rights, and there wasn't enough time to promote a Pay-per-View event.
So, how is this gonna work? Does he announce first? Yeah right, then what - what do you do with the other 59 minutes, 30 seconds; show LeBron highlights? Have fans from Cleveland ready and standing by, lined up to kiss his ring? (oh... whoops, never mind, he has no ring)... NO....... he's gotta drag it out..... like that Geraldo Rivera special "Al Capone's Valut".
Believe me, LeBron's show will have a similar ending - but this time, I won't be watching.

Tractor Supply Grand Opening!July 29, 2014 at 5:00 am
A sense of community was felt all around at the Grand Opening of the Tractor Supply Co in Hillsborough (exit 165 off 85). Store manager Josh was full of smiles all the while assisting customers all over the store. When asked what does he want the community to know about the store, he said to not forget they have a wide variety of pet food and supplies in addition to all of the other agriculural supplies. There were adults of all ages and kids too all exploring the products and taking advantage of the sales. Congratulations to the employees. All of your hard work getting the store prepared paid off. It was beautiful and welcoming.

text: Cockroaches are from the beetle family within the insect kingdom. All beetles carry metamorphosis energy and for this reason the cockroach showing up in your life can indicate a change will soon occur. Cockroaches prefer to keep to the dark and will scurry from the light. For this reason, cockroaches surfacing can be indicators of the desire to pull back from society and keep under the radar of others. If you spend a lot of time socializing the cockroach could be telling you to spend more alone time. On the flip side, it could also signify that you are isolating yourself too much. Don't be afraid of the light, put on a pair of dark glasses and get outdoors into the bright sunlight for a new perspective. Anyone with a cockroach as a totem will adapt easily to any environment.

|The Carter Center has been forced by militia attacks in East Timor to evacuate its remaining three international staff members from the territory. Their reports from Jakarta of the events they witnessed just prior to leaving the East Timor capital of Dili conclusively show complicity of Indonesian forces, both police and military, with the armed gangs terrorizing and displacing the local East Timorese populace. This includes militias' efforts to drive international observers, journalists, and U.N. staff out of East Timor.
This violent situation is not chaotic, but rather appears to follow a plan, since Indonesian forces openly tolerate or even support assaults and killing of unarmed civilians by the militias. The Indonesian government has repeatedly pledged to take steps to stop the violence and has sufficient forces in East Timor to do so, but no action to stop the rampaging militias is evident in Dili or elsewhere in East Timor. At the very least, insubordination of military forces in the territory to higher command officials is occurring. Immediate changes in command and public issuance of orders to the military to use force to stop the militias are required.

Zargon Oil and Gas's business is exploitation. Zargon uses technical skills to understand the mechanics of individual reservoirs and then apply technologies to increase the recovery of undrained oil or natural gas. These reservoirs are the feedstock for increasing the company's production and adding reserves. At any time, Zargon is working on a large number of projects, some of which take years to bring into full development. Some Zargon's pools might be considered small by industry standards, but these projects are long term with very attractive economics.
Zargon Oil and Gas Ltd created Zargon Energy Trust from the acquisition of all their operational, financial and intellectual assets on July 15, 2004.
As of September 2013, the company reported volumes of 7,559 Boepd ranking 55th out of the Canoil Top 100.

How to Improve Your Memory
Use this simple technique to memorize 10 items in under 60 seconds. You are going to imagine each item associated to a different part of your body.
-If you are visual, really see the images in your mind.
-If you are auditory repeat the words aloud while visualizing.
-If you are kinaesthetic stand up and imagine throwing the items on your body!
Imagine eggs on your feet, the yolk dripping in between your toes. Sticky tape is tying your knees together. Youre throwing ketchup over your thighs. A cucumber is on your back. A gigantic watch is tied around your waist like a belt. Someone throws ice-cubes over your chest. Bread is growing out of your neck. Cereal is dripping down your face. Your hair is made of spaghetti. There are hundreds of sausages on the ceiling.
Now look at each part of your body and see how much you remember!

I've found some nice navigation menu's, but the problem i cannot get my head around is how do have the menu on everypage?
Its a horazontal menu, so first i thought how about a frame,so the top of the page does not change. Then a problem comes that when the menu expands its covered up by the other frame. I cannot put the code in the body of everypage as when i update a link on the menu i would have to change it on every page on the whole site.
How should i go about it?

Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 10.1.3 Adds Native GPU Support with RED RAW Footage
RED has held back for quite some time letting other manufacturers use 3rd-party hardware acceleration in their software with RED's proprietary .R3D codec, but that time has now passed. In the new 10.1.3 update for Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve, GPU acceleration is now supported with RED files, which will mean faster workflows for anyone not already using a ROCKET or ROCKET-X card from RED. More »
No ROCKET Necessary: 3rd Party GPU Acceleration is Coming to REDCINE-X PRO
While proprietary used to be the name of the game, we are entering an age where camera systems and post solutions are choosing more open source options for maximum compatibility (and a likely wider install base as a result). Look no further than the increasing use of CinemaDNG with cameras like the Ikonoskop, Blackmagic Cinema Camera, and Digital Bolex. Now it looks like RED is at least partially entering that arena with an update to REDCINE-X PRO. More »
How to Export the Sharpest RED Footage (From REDCINE-X)
Most everyone can agree that 4K footage downscaled to 1080p looks great. Even cameras that don't shoot 4K are often oversampling in order to output a clean 1080p file. However, when you're shooting 4K or 5K on a RED camera and you're outputting a 1080p file in post, it turns out not all downscaling is created equal. While RED has just released a tutorial on how to export footage from their grading software, REDCINE-X, they barely mention the Software Scaling setting, and so I did some testing myself: More »
RED Introduces Significant Updates in New Firmware Version 3.3
If you're a RED owner or you've been following the company, you know that they're constantly updating their hardware and software to add more functionality as well as fix bugs. One of the bigger releases recently was an update to their color science which included a new color preset that supposedly can give great results without much fiddling. It should be noted that the other cameras competing in the high-end cinema space, the Sony F65 and the Arri Alexa, have both also been receiving a steady stream of firmware updates that also add functionality. For example, the F65 added playback in-camera not too long ago — so it's clear that these high-resolution cameras require a bit more engineering since they are basically computers with lenses. For what's new in version 3.3, check out the video below: More »
RED Releases New Camera Firmware and Color Science, EPICs No Longer on Backorder
As noted previously, RED has a new color science and gamma curve for their RAW-shooting cameras: REDgamma3 and REDcolor3. The new color science comes with a new camera firmware — version 3.0.0, which is a release build (not beta) for both EPIC and SCARLET — and there's a new version of REDCINE-X as well. RED's Jim Jannard explained the color science updates with the following — note that if you're doing a full grade, your gamma setting will still be REDlogfilm, but you should expect to employ the new color science alongside that gamma curve: More »
RED Workflow: How to Get REDCINE-X and Premiere Pro Working Together Seamlessly
One thing I've been wondering about since getting a RED was what I was going to do about workflow. REDCINE-X Pro is a really nice (and free) color grading application. But you're not going to do secondary color correction or really complicated masking/keying in it (yet). So how does one use it in conjunction with a NLE? Do you render out files, take them and edit them in Premiere Pro, and then color correct files that you've already rendered? Don't you sort of lose the whole idea of a RAW workflow by doing that? Turns out there's a better way. More »
How to Use RED's Free Color Grading Application, REDCINE-X Pro
RED has been cranking out new beta versions of their ingest/grading software REDCINE-X PRO seemingly every week or so, and you can bet it will find a lot of new users thanks to the impending release of their SCARLET-X camera (which is supposed to start shipping this Thursday). REDCINE-X PRO is free — though you need a very expensive piece of hardware to use it — so here is a great tutorial from Dan Kanes, which demonstrates the flexibility of the RAW workflow: More »
The Foundry Axes Storm Post-production Software Because of REDCINE-X PRO
In a hypothetical future wherein I start shooting on a RED camera, one of the first things I was planning on doing was getting The Foundry's Storm post-production (and on-set) software. The RED folks really seemed to love it, as they were quoted on the Storm product page, and at this year's NAB I was impressed by The Foundry's numerous demos (some of which took place in RED's tent). But then RED released REDCINE-X PRO this week — their own version of Storm, in a lot of ways — and now The Foundry has officially killed Storm, at a nascent version 1.04. While Storm was priced very affordably, putting it well within the range of indie filmmakers — $375 — REDCINE-X is free, and you can't beat that. Via fxguide, here's the official word: More »
RED Releases New (But Still Free) REDCINE-X PRO Software and Ships EPIC-X Cameras
Lots going on in REDland this week. The news that EPIC-X production had begun is now corroborated by news that the first cameras are headed out the door today. On top of this, RED released REDCINE-X PRO, a new version of their free .R3D processing/grading software. I'm a bit confused — I mean, I thought REDCINE-X was already for pros only and that soccer moms need not apply — but apparently this new version is significantly different enough to justify the new "pro" moniker. After booting it up briefly, I understand the new name — the unified interface is a vast improvement over the old version (and the multi-track timeline builds on its basic editing functions). Here are the new features (and a download link): More »

(Michelle) Williams, Can You Handle This?
We don't think we can handle this. MAJOR props to Williams Cafe, which has hopped on the Queen Bey bandwagon and is serving Beyoncé (chocolate-caramel) lattes! Poor Michelle must feel bad that her own namesake coffee shop chose Sasha Fierce for drink of the week, but Penn always puts B's love on top. Head over to Williams, Single Ladies, because that cafe is full of lattes with they pockets full grown.

Evansville Police say a man is arrested on multiple charges after a domestic violence incident involving a gun.
EPD says they responded to a fight between two men in the 200 block of E. Missouri and police say they uncovered more serious activity involving one of the men.
Authorities say while officers were speaking with 34-year-old Donald Robb, they believed he was hallucinating and was under the influence of meth.
EPD says Robb told officers there had been a fire in his house and that his skin was burning from exposure to lithium. Officers went to 221 E. Florida and found there had been an active meth lab in the house.
Officials say the Evansville Fire Department checked it out, but there was no active fire.
Robb was taken to Deaconess Hospital to be treated for his burns and his intoxication.
At the emergency room, officers say there was a woman there who was being treated for injuries she says she received when Robb assaulted her and held her against her will for several hours.
Authorities say the woman told them that during that time, Robb pointed a handgun at her several times and threatened her.
Officers say they found a one pot meth lab and a handgun at the home on Florida.
EPD says Robb was admitted to the hospital for overnight observation. Police say once he is released, he will be taken to jail.
Authorities say Robb is charged with Criminal Confinement with a Weapon B-felony, Intimidation with a Weapon C-felony, Pointing a firearm, D- felony, and Domestic Violence A- misdemeanor.
Police say the investigation into the meth lab is still underway and additional charges may be filed against Robb at a later time.

No, Josh and I didn't actually fly from South Korea to San Francisco for our 3-year anniversary last month, just walked down the street to a lovely little Italian-ish restaurant of the same name.
(Congrats to you if you can make that out from this backwards Korean.)
While waiting for our food, we played cards (as we often do)…
…then enjoyed an appetizer of toast and whipped cream (very popular here).
Our spaghetti was delicious.
And so was our dessert!

WASHINGTON — After days of anti-American violence across the Muslim world, the White House is girding itself for an extended period of turmoil that could test the security of US diplomatic missions and President Obama's ability to shape the forces of change in the Arab world.
Although the tumult subsided Saturday, senior administration officials said they had concluded that the sometimes violent protests in Muslim countries may presage a sustained crisis with unpredictable diplomatic and political consequences. While pressing Arab leaders to tamp down the unrest, Obama and his advisers are left to consider whether to scale back diplomatic activities in the region.

While the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is just around the corner, Lionsgate is gearing up for the two parts to the final chapter that will follow it, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2. One very important and pivitol role will be that of President Alma Coin and it's possible she'll be officially cast soon.
While unconfirmed by the studio, Deadline reports that Julianne Moore (Carrie) might be in early talks with director Francis Lawrence to play the role of President Alma Coin. She would (WITHOUT A DOUBT) be great in the role.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 starring Jennifer Lawrence is slated to hit theaters on November 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is slated to hit theaters on November 20, 2015.

Here is a link about Giambi from PA SportsTicker. It does not mention Barton being called up.
I saw on MLB TV that Jason Giambi went on the 15 day DL today. To replace him on the 25 man roster the A's called up Daric Barton. Let us hope that Barton is here today and in the line up at 1B. Here is to hoping Daric stays up longer than 15 days.

I got home and found a UPS parcel. Inside was my 2008 Baseball Prospect Book from Sickels. Then I fired up the internet to see that the Astros TV schedule has been released.
http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20080207&content_id=2367 688&vkey=pr_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
I am going to get the MLB package again this year so I can watch any game from my computer, but it is great to know that I will be watching a real broadcast in less than a month. On March 3rd at noon the Stros face the Yanks and hopefully JD, B Brown, and Lucas are in fine form. It has been a long time coming and the wait is almost over.
As much as I hate what has become of my beloved Astros over the last 2 1/2 years the feeling I have today makes me realize that I will be a Stros fan forever and I really have a problem with my love of baseball.

Set on a sandstone hill, Bridgnorth is split in two – in High Town, take a closer look at the historic buildings and visit the shops, restaurants, hotels and bars that line the main street.
Low Town is on the riverside on the banks of the River Severn, and the two areas are connected by a unique Victorian cliff railway which still runs today.
Bridgnorth Shropshire is home to the world famous Severn Valley Railway – a chance to take a trip on a real steam train where you can even see elephants along the route!
And if it's fresh air and exercise you're looking for, set off along the Geopark Way long distance walking trail, or explore the open spaces of the Severn Valley Country Park.
Outside the town, you should also make time to see the historic buildings at Daniel's Mill which house the largest waterwheel powering a corn mill still working in England, dating back to the 18th Century.

What Are Web Services in MATLAB?
What You Need to Use Web Services with MATLAB
Web services allow applications running on disparate computers, operating systems, and development environments to communicate with each other. Using Web services technologies, client workstations can access and execute APIs residing on a remote server. The client and server communicate via XML-formatted messages, following the W3C® SOAP protocol, and typically via the HTTP protocol.
MATLAB® acts as a Web service client, providing functions you can use to access existing Web services on a server. The functions facilitate communication with the server, relieving you of the need to work with XML, complex SOAP messages, and special Web services tools. Through these functions, you can use Web services in your normal MATLAB environment, such as in the Command Window and in MATLAB programs you write.
Diagram Showing Web Services in MATLAB
An organization that wants to make APIs available to disparate clients creates the APIs and related Web service facilities for the server, using tools from Apache Axis, for example. Organizations can choose to make the Web services available only to local clients via the organization's intranet, or can offer them to the general public via the Web.
You need to find out from your own organization and the organizations you work with if they provide Web services of interest to you. There are publicly available Web services, some for free and some provided for a fee. For links to some of these Web services, see Where to Get Information About Web Services.
Functions for MATLAB Web services work with Web services that comply with the Basic Profile 1 to SOAP Binding specification. To find out more about the SOAP standards, see the links in Where to Get Information About Web Services.
You need to know basic information about the Web services you want to use.
You need access to the server from the workstation where you use MATLAB. If there is a proxy server, you need to provide settings for it to MATLAB using Web preferences. To do so, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences > Web. For more information, click the Help button in the Preferences dialog box.
You are creating new climate models using MATLAB, and you want to use climate data from a database housed at a government weather bureau. The bureau's server provides access to the database via Web services so that anyone who has Web service client technologies can retrieve the data, regardless of their operating system or development tools. You use functions for MATLAB Web services to get the data from the server, and then you use the data in MATLAB to develop your models.
A weather bureau provides Web services that allow you to run complex models on their systems, using your data and parameters. You use functions for MATLAB Web services to specify your input, run the models on the bureau's server, and get back the results for your use in MATLAB.
A weather bureau provides a Web service for researchers involved in a widespread climate study to submit their results. Researchers use a variety of systems and tools, but they need to provide their results using the server's Web service facilities. As one of the researchers, you use MATLAB to generate the results for the study, and you use functions for MATLAB Web services to submit your results to the server.
If you have activated MATLAB, you used a Web service. After you install MATLAB, you activate your installation by getting a license file from a server at MathWorks. To get the file for your installation, MATLAB uses a Web service provided on a MathWorks server. With the activation Web service, you provide information to MathWorks, and in return, the server provides a license file to your MATLAB installation. MATLAB provides a user interface for the activation that makes you unaware you are using a Web service.

97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
In 97 Orchard, Jane Ziegelman explores the culinary life that was the heart and soul of New York's Lower East Side around the turn of the twentieth centurya city within a city, where Germans, Irish, Italians, and Eastern European Jews attempted to forge a new life. Through the experiences of five families, all of them residents of 97 Orchard Street, Ziegelman takes readers on a vivid and unforgettable tour, from impossibly cramped tenement apartments, down dimly lit stairwells, beyond the front stoops where housewives congregated, and out into the hubbub of the dirty, teeming streets. Ziegelman shows how immigrant cooks brought their ingenuity to the daily task of feeding their families, preserving traditions from home but always ready to improvise. 97 Orchard lays bare the roots of our collective culinary heritage.
About the Author
Jane Ziegelman is the director of the Tenement Museum's culinary center and the founder and director of Kids Cook!, a multiethnic cooking program for children. Her writing on food has appeared in numerous publications, and she is the coauthor of Foie Gras: A Passion. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

A Cape Girardeau man is accused taking money from an elderly Scott County couple.
Keith Lars Monia, 52, of Cape Girardeau was charged with two counts of financial exploitation of the elderly and two counts of forgery. His bond was set at $75,000.
Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter, detectives say Monia sold two annuity plans to an elderly Scott County couple between 2010 and 2012. Monia reportedly collected the couple's applications and accepted payments of $220,000 but never sent the applications or the money to the company.
Walter says an investigation revealed that the money was deposited in Monia's personal account, and an online trading account.
According to Walter, Monia previously had a license as an insurance producer, but the Department of Insurance denied the renewal of his license in 2011 after receiving allegations of fraud.
Walter said his office was assisted during this investigation by the Mississippi and Scott County Elder Abuse Coalition and the Department of Social Services.
Walter pointed out that elder abuse cases can be extremely difficult to investigate and are often overlooked or not reported.
If you are a victim or know someone who is, please contact your local law enforcement agency or call the Elder Abuse Hot-line at 800-392-0210.

I couldn't leave Jethro out. He is my Dad's dog that has been around for years. We all are currently roommates and he has adjusted to having Callie around very well. Okay maybe he does get easily annoyed by her at times, but they obviously care about one another. Jethro does not like it when strangers come up to Callie. Such a big baby though!

No thank you. I'll take my chances with Luke McCown as our QB this season.
Do whatever it takes now. No excuses whatsoever if another team gets him.
Denver Broncos draft Aaron Curry 1st overall.......
Either way I'll be happy but i'd rather keep our picks.

I'm not joking. Sure, you'll need to practice sound design eventually, but using presets (as many pros do) is a simple way not to get bogged down in tiny details and then concentrate on making the rest of the track.
I forget the artists name, but there is a very sucessful EDM duo who only use presets. I recall one of them saying "I let experts make the sounds, I don't need to do that".
This thing about breaking everything down into it's smallest components is vital.
Just look at those Olympian,s every detial has to be right, from diet, to sleep, cross traing to core balancing.
I think in production what often happens is we skimp on a detail here, a detail there, and before you know it you have a pile of bad detail.

I've got five more out, three leghorn/BO crosses (two died in shell), one chantecler and one NN (YAY). The chantie and the NN are still in the bator. I have pips on an australorp, a chantecler and a mystery egg so maybe I'll have three more! I haven't even counted how many that is. :P
I'm thinking that now that I have three broodies on eggs, I'm probably going to sell off about half of these AFTER easter, more likely next weekend when TSC won't be selling them here anymore. :)

Menopause, or more accurately perimenopause, is the time when your body begins to react to dropping levels of estrogen and other hormones. Every woman will experience this differently, so your menopause may not be the same as your friend's. But some menopause symptoms are very common, some are less common, and some are serious and should not be ignored. Here's a list of things you may notice as you enter menopause.
Common Menopause Symptoms
Menstrual Irregularities
Often the first symptom of impending menopause is a change in the length of your cycle. It may be longer between periods, shorter between periods, or a combination of the two.
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
A hot flash is the sensation of "flushing," or a sudden feeling of heat, often accompanied by sweating. When this occurs during sleep, it's called night sweats. Hot flashes are the menopause symptom most often mentioned by women: about 75% of women will experience them as they go through menopause.
Mood Swings
As estrogen and progesterone decline, some women describe themselves as "emotional." They report being more easily triggered into strong emotional responses such as sadness, anger, irritability or delight. Because they see themselves as suddenly unpredictable, women find this unsettling, and are likely to seek help for this symptom.
Both migraine and tension headaches may increase during menopause. Since migraine headaches are vascular in nature, and since the vascular system is more unstable during menopause, migraines can become more frequent and difficult to manage.
Many women report a greater tendency to be wakeful. Sometimes this is due to night sweats and sometimes due to neurological excitability, both of which are more common during menopause. Once awake, they find it difficult to go back to sleep, and can suffer from sleep deprivation as a result.
Vaginal Dryness & Urinary Problems
This symptom is also one for which women seek help. As estrogen is less available, the walls of the bladder, urethra and vagina become drier and less flexible. This makes the tissue more easily damaged and more prone to infection.
Weight Gain
Your metabolism will slow with age, so weight gain is common in menopause. The combination of changing patterns of fat deposit, less muscle mass and a slower metabolism can give you a larger abdomen and "flabby" arms and legs that send you off to the gym for help.
Memory & Cognitive Changes
This symptom, too, is one that is distressing for women. While some loss of memory is normal with aging — especially word retrieval and short term memory — if cognitive changes interfere with your ability to do everyday things, it's a good idea to get them checked by your health care provider.
Some women experience a profound fatigue during menopause, though fortunately it's usually temporary, and is your body's adjustment to lower estrogen. If fatigue prevents you from doing your daily activities, however — or if it lasts more than two months — see a health care provider to rule out other causes.
Decreased Libido
Many women notice that their sexual desire lessens when they become menopausal. Sometimes this is a temporary response to hormone shifts, while sometimes it's a reaction to other things like stressors or difficult life situations. If you notice that you desire sex less often or don't seem to enjoy it, and this creates problems in your life or relationships, talk to your doctor or provider about possible treatments.
Serious or Dangerous Menopause Symptoms
See your physician or medical provider if you experience any of the following serious symptoms:
Heavy Bleeding
If you find that your periods are increasingly heavy and that you have to change your super tampon or maxi pad more than once an hour for eight hours, your bleeding may be damaging your health. Heavy bleeding can be a sign of fibroid tumors, uterine polyps or uterine cancer. It can also cause you to become anemic and should be evaluated by a medical professional.
High Blood Pressure
Check your blood pressure every few months, and if it becomes higher than 140/80, make an appointment to have it evaluated. High blood pressure can put you at risk for heart disease or stroke, and may be a sign of more serious medical problems.
Heart Palpitations
Some occasional heart palpitations or irregular beats can be normal during the time around menopause. But if they are happening frequently, or are accompanied by troubled breathing, fainting, chest pain, anxiety, or nausea, they could be signs of heart disease or a heart attack.
Menopause is a time of changing moods and grief over life's losses. If you are finding yourself sad most of the time, or if you feel hopeless, irritable, have lost pleasure in things you used to enjoy or think about dying or hurting yourself, make an appointment to see whether you are clinically depressed. Some treatments for depression are also effective for other menopausal symptoms.

The Super Bowl is coming and our federal government has just seized several streaming sites in an effort to make damned sure you can only see the big game on NBC. Sites seized include:
- Firstrowsports.tv
- Firstrowsports.com
- SoccertvLive.net
Hmm, they left out . . . oops — almost violated SB Nation rules!They did this last year as I recall, and suddenly [mmmph, mmmph].com became [mmmph, mmmph].me. Frankly, I think that if the federal government had even a glimmer of decency, they'd take down NBC and would force our NFL-addicted nation to listen to the big game on the radio.
My primary concern, of course, is for NBA streams which, like VC irregulars fighting alongside ARVN troops, will be collateral damage. [Please Lord don't make me buy tickets and have to sit in section 121!]
Also of interest:
For the first time, seized domains also include the .TV extension as Firstrowsports.tv is now displaying the familiar seizure banner. The .TV domain belongs to islands of Tuvalu, but is operated by the US-based company Verisign. [TorrentFreak.com]
Sigh. Oh well, time to move on to the next set of off-shore piracy ports of call. And when the feds shut down every other nation's efforts to undermine sports monopolists, we'll just have to learn to deal with the godawful lag you get with streams from .mars and .moon sites.

(More Like Sushi) Your Crocodile Shoes and Your Fur Coat…
It's time for another one of the very occasional series where I imagine a deluxe double disc version of an album I like very much and then sneakily
imagine make the second disc for the blogworld…
Neneh Cherry's Raw Like Sushi was one of my important albums as it came out when I was 16 and at a time when UK dance music was rather exciting (and popular). I bought all the singles and the remix 12″s, even putting them into gatefold plastic covers. Well I was a geek and still am. There's a lot of talent on this album including the obvious Neneh Cherry herself who had already appeared on record by Rip Rig & Panic, The The and The Slits. She had also guested on the b-side of a non-hit single by Morgan McVey called Looking Good Diving which is a good point for the deluxe disc 2 to start as most of her breakthrough hit Buffalo Stance comes from versions of that song. She turns up in Looking Good Diving's video along with Andrea Oliver who would reappear in the Manchild video and go onto be the Andi in the cookery show Neneh and Andi Dish It Up. The McVey in Morgan McVey is Cameron McVey who co-produced and co-wrote this album as Booga Bear and is 'Mr Cherry', a current member of CirKus and the father of emerging talent Marlon Roudette (who appears in the Rise of Neneh CherryVHS tie-in as the rapping boy). Other names from the credits include Tim 'Bomb the Bass' Simenon, producer Nellee Hooper (known mostly at the time for Soul II Soul), and various members of what would become Massive Attack aka The Wild Bunch. Unlike her later albums there was only one genuine new b-side song from Raw Like Sushi (Buffalo Blues) but a whole lot of remixes, some only available on promo vinyl, so it's a remix-heavy mix…
Download More Like Sushi here.
01 Looking Good Diving (Maxi Version) by Morgan McVey
The 12″ version of Looking Good Diving. This one does not feature Neneh but is included because elements of the song were used in Buffalo Stance. It's very more-ish.
02 Looking Good Diving (With The Wild Bunch) by Morgan McVey feat Neneh Cherry
The b-side of the 7″ single, feauturing some familiar rap verses with their original lyrics.
03 Buffalo Stance (Arthur Baker's 1/2 Way 2 House Remix)
This was on the remix 12″ and it always makes me feel Christmassy, probably due to its December release and jingley bits.
04 Buffalo Stance (Kevin Saunderson's Techno Stance Remix 1)
So many Buffalo Stance remixes! There's another mix on the original CD of tha album as a bonus track.
05 Buffalo Stance Give Me A Muthuf***ing Break Beat (Dynamik Duo's Sukka Mix)
This one is a remix of a remix, with a lot of scratching of the actual Buffalo Stance record plus a new rap verse.
06 Manchild (Massive Attack Remix)
The Wild Bunch were now Massive Attack and recorded some of their first album in Neneh's home studio.
07 Manchild (Smith and Mighty Remix)
Smith & Mighty were the other big Bristol Sound artists of the time and their early singles are rather special.
08 Kisses On The Wind (David Morales A Little More Puerto Rican mix)
American remix! By the third single Neneh was a Proper Popstar.
09 Kisses On The Wind (Lovers Hip-Hop Extended Version)
This remix comes from the fourth single: Inna City Mama EP.
10 Buffalo Blues
Non-album b-side, from Kisses on the Wind single.
11 Inna City Mamma (Completely Re-recorded Version)
Like what the title says!
12 I've Got You Under My Skin (Extended)
Non-album single for the Red Hot & Blue HIV and AIDS charity album.
13 I've Got You Under My Skin (Blacksmith Brixton Bass Mix)
I had so many Blacksmith remixes back in the old days!
14 I've Got You Under My Skin (David Z Remix)
American remix again! David Z worked on a lot of the classic era Prince records.
There are surely some lost gems in the vaults that could be used on a real deluxe edition of Raw Like Sushi. Maybe one day…
Looking Good Diving:
Buffalo Stance
Kisses on the Wind
Buffalo Blues / The Next Generation (TV performance)
Inna City Mamma
I've Got You Under My Skin

This has got me so nostalgic! I didnt know there was such a thing as a Remix 12″ or "white label" until Neneh Cherry came along and I got into hunting them down from 2nd hand record shops. Buffalo Blues could've been a huge hit if released 4 or 5 years later, I think she was way ahead of the game.
May have to dig out my Blacksmith and S&M CD singles now
Hey you may be the only other person on this earth who might be interested to know I own a white label of the Buffalo Stance Sukka Mix II with an instrumental version of Sukka Mix II on the b-side, I dont think that was released officially anywhere. Amazing!

The Panthers have re-signed Hartsock, according to his agent Mike McCarthy.||||||| Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Hartsock is the second free agent to re-sign, joining linebacker Jordan Senn.
The New York Jets have re-signed tight end Ben Hartsock, a major part of the league's top-ranked rushing offense last season, to a two-year deal worth $3.2 million.Hartsock, 29, played his first two seasons with Indianapolis, and spent two seasons with Tennessee and one with Atlanta. He has 28 catches for 275 yards in six seasons.||||||| Hartsock, signed as a free agent last August, had one catch - a 2-yard touchdown in Week 3 - but was used mostly as a blocking complement to Dustin Keller. He helped pave the way for an offense that averaged a league-leading 172.2 yards per game behind Thomas Jones, now with Kansas City, Shonn Greene and Leon Washington.
The Jets have signed Hartsock to a one-year deal, filling their need for a blocking tight end, his agent told The Associated Press.||||||| Hartsock, who spent last season with Atlanta, signed with the Jets on Wednesday, a day after the Falcons released him, agent Mike McCartney said. Hartsock played his first two seasons with Indianapolis and also played two seasons with Tennessee. He has 27 catches for 273 yards in five seasons, but will be counted on to be the blocking complement to pass-receiving tight end Dustin Keller.
The Falcons put Hartsock on injured reserve Wednesday.||||||| The 264-pound Hartsock, who had only three catches and was essentially another lineman for Atlanta's powerful running game, injured a toe in last weekend's 45-28 victory over Carolina. He is out for the season after making eight starts in 11 games. Justin Peelle, who has nine catches for 99 yards this season, will likely move into the starting role for Sunday's game at San Diego, with Jason Rader taking over the backup role.
The Falcons moved quickly to replace tight end Alge Crumpler by agreeing to terms with Hartsock.||||||| Hartsock, who was drafted in the third round in 2004 by Indianapolis, is best known for his blocking ability. He has just 24 catches for 247 yards in 45 career games, including 12 catches for 138 yards with Tennessee last season. Terms of the deal were not released.

Officially, InfoWorld's CTO Awards honor "the 25 most influential" individuals holding that position. But we have another agenda, too. We seek to highlight the achievements of those who reflect InfoWorld's readership: senior IT managers who scan the horizon for promising new technologies and find singularly effective ways to implement them.
As you read about this year's crop of award winners, you'll find they are divided along these lines. The "influential" types, in the traditional sense, come in two varieties: Some, such as the amazingly prolific Ravi Aramilli, work as CTOs for IT vendors and have focused -- recently and throughout their careers -- on cultivating new technologies; others, such as Pradeep Sindhu and his Infranet Initiative to raise public network QoS, have led initiatives that have significant impact both inside their organizations and beyond, helping to drive new standards or to marshal the resources of diverse organizations toward some greater goal.
But you'll also find little-known CTOs who, like the majority of our readers, remain focused on scouting, evaluating, and implementing technologies that simply make IT organizations run better and more cost effectively. Such achievements, we submit, are vastly underrated.
Take Life Time Fitness CTO Brent Zempel, who helped his company vault to the top by leading the development of a member management system that is the envy of other health club chains. Or Health Care Services Corp. CTO Addison McGuffin, who pressed the lofty principles of SOA (service-oriented architecture) into action as he completely revamped the delivery of insurance services to customers. Forget about the timeworn cliché about "aligning IT with business goals." These CTOs have internalized their companies' business objectives to such a degree that their technology development is on the forefront of business development.

NOTE: I originally joined Elfwood in early 1998....
...and was in Galler 25 back when there were only 10 artists a page and there was no Fanquarter or Wyvern's Library. Not that many years later, I quit updating here. My stories in the Library were removed for not having black text (A rule that was added after they were originally accepted). My Fanquarter was killed when most of it was removed for not stating the name of the series and what the Japanese said in the pictures (such as stating that Naruto is from "Naruto" and that the background katakana also read "Naruto"). Even my "Chibi Gabrielle" who I had labeled keywords as being from Xena back in the time of the extranet was removed for not saying where she was from--and the kicker is that THAT drawing was in the logo for Fanquarter (since removed by my request because I was made and in part still am) and was linked to from Sylvia's FARP article on anime.
So for the many many times Elfwood has screwed up my stuff for changing rules with no chance to fix them before stuff was removed (not fair in the extreme to hold stuff that's been here a year or more old to new rules I was not made aware of), I have quit Elfwood.
Thankyou very much, Elfwood, for causing the comment THE AUTHOR of Aliens Ate My Homework, Bruce Coville, left on a fanart of mine to be deleted because my mostly purged fanquarter no longer had enough submissions in it. Or was it because I didn't say the book was by Bruce Coville? They were in the fanart section so it's obvious that I didn't own the characters.
Anyways, I loved that Elfwood allowed comments in the days before Deviant Art, and learned to hate it in the days of the review board came into being and became indescriminate rule nazis and caused all but these last few pictures to be deleted--over 25 items in all.
I'm now still into anime as off 2009 and attend a few cons in the midwest. I don't really draw any more, but i like making cosplay and props. 3D stuff is fun! But don't expect to see anything newer than 2003 here.

Dorset coast notorious for landslips
The Dorset coastline is notorious for landslips. Today's landslip occurred two weeks after a month's worth of rain fell in West Dorset in just 24 hours. At the time, police in nearby Lyme Regis warned people to stay away from the foot of cliffs because they feared a landslide would occur.
Our reporter Jeff Welch has been finding out what causes tonnes of rock to come crashing down without a moments notice.

Obama Administration Releases Size of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Stockpile
Author: Monica Amarelo
Type: Release
We are pleased that the announced stockpile is only 13 bombs off our recent estimate.
For thirty years we have written about and estimated the sizeand composition of the stockpiles of the nations that possess nuclear weapons. We have done this by closely following weapon system deployments and retirements, reading Congressional testimony and obtaining documents through the Freedom of Information Act. Reporters and scholars have used our figures repeatedly.
This disclosure ends years of unnecessary and counterproductive secrecy and supports further nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation efforts.
The Administration should follow up this announcement by declassifying additional nuclear stockpile information related to historical warhead builds and historical and future retirement and dismantlement plans by warhead type.
Disclosing the size of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile puts pressure on other nuclear weapon states to reciprocate. Russia, whose arsenal is more difficult to track and assess, should respond by divulging comparable information about the size and status of its nuclear stockpile. There is simply no national security justification for Russia and the United States to continue to classify nuclear warhead stockpile inventories. The declassification of such data is necessary to achieve deep reductions in the arsenals of all the nuclear weapon states.
The 5,113 warheads in the stockpile do not account for all assembled nuclear warheads currently in the U.S. inventory. We estimate that there is an additional 4,500 retired warheads in storage awaiting dismantlement for a total inventory of approximately 9,600 warheads.
Estimated U.S. Nuclear Weapons Inventories, 2010
Warhead Category
Operational warheads
Strategic operational warheads
Strategic alert warheads
Active non-strategic warheads
Inactive warheads
Warheads in stockpile
Retired intact warheads
Total assembled warheads
The U.S. government produced or acquired 111.45 tonnes of plutonium. After nuclear weapon testing, other removals andmaterial unaccounted for, 99.5 tonnes remained in the inventory in 1996, of which 85.15 tonnes were weapon-grade plutonium (the balance fuel- or reactor-grade plutonium), including approximately 68 tonnes which were in plutonium pits. In 1996, the U.S. government declared 52.5 tonnes of plutonium to be in excess of national security needs, including 38.2 tonnes of weapon-grade plutonium of which about 22.7 tonnes was in the form of pits in assembled weapons and from disassembled weapons. Since 1996, the United States has reduce the amount of plutonium reserved for weapon needs from approximately 68 tonnes to approximately 38 tonnes, all in the form of plutonium pits. Assuming plutonium pits contain on average about 3 kilograms of plutonium, we estimate the plutonium reserved for weapons is approximately:
15 t of plutonium in the 5,113 stockpiled weapons
23 t of plutonium in approximately 7,700 war reserve pits
38 t of plutonium reserved for weapons
As indicated above, there are approximately 4,500 retired intact warheads awaiting dismantlement, and stored at the Pantex facility near Amarillo, Texas, there are approximately 14,000 plutonium pits from warheads already retired. So eventually there will be nearly 20,000 pits stored at Pantex, which now has the authority but not the capacity to store this amount. Of the nearly 20,000 pits, 7,000 to 8,000 will be retained as war-reserve pits, and the remainder, containing about 30 tonnes of plutonium, are in excess of national security requirements. The United States and Russia each have agreed to convert 34 tonnes of weapon-grade plutonium into fuel for commercial power reactors, and the excess pits at Pantex will contribute most of the U.S. commitment.
The 2010 NPT Review Conference promises to be a greater success than the previous one because of the leadership of the Obama administration who in recent weeks has concluded an arms treaty with Russia, made public the Nuclear Posture Review, hosted a Nuclear Security Summit,and now disclosed the size of the nuclear weapons stockpile.
