Mechanics and Energetics of Locomotion. The overall goal of the lab is to understand muscle function within the context of whole animal movement. Muscle mechanics and energetics underpin our understanding of animal (including human) locomotion. My current research uses an integrative approach to track the flow of energy from the contractile proteins within the muscle to the environment, linking metabolic inputs with mechanical outputs.
Mechanical function of muscles during locomotion. Muscle length change and activity patterns are measured during locomotion, and combined with physiological measurements to determine muscle mechanical performance (e.g. force or power output).
Recent work has examined how small birds modulate pectoral muscle power production across a range of flight speeds. Their pectoral muscles contain a single muscle fibre type, so they are unable to vary muscle power output by recruiting motor units with different physiological properties. Instead, we found that the power output can be modulated by changing the muscle length trajectory and the relative timing and intensity of muscle activity (Askew and Ellerby, 2007; Ellerby and Askew 2007; Morris and Askew, 2010).
Energetics of Locomotion A variety of approaches are used to tease apart the underlying processes that determine the overall cost of locomotion. Whole organism metabolic rate is determined by measuring O2 consumption and CO2 production during locomotion (Fig. 2; Morris and Askew, 2010; Askew et al., 2011). At the level of the muscle, energy use can be quantified by measuring the total enthalpy output (the sum of the mechanical work and heat production) and also, indirectly, by measuring regional blood flow. Energy use can also be quantified at the level of the cross-bridges (Askew et al., 2010).
In recent work we have investigated how the mechanical power output relates to the metabolic energy consumed by birds during flight to estimate the flight efficiency (Morris et al., 2010). We have also used modern physiology to quantify the costs of moving in Medieval armour to investigate whether this could have affected soldiers' locomotor performance and potentially influenced the outcomes of past medieval battles (Askew et al., 2011).
Funding. Research in my laboratory is funded by the BBSRC, EPSRC and the Royal Society.

Windows Classic "Window Delay"
Hi (Im not sure if this is the place to post about this problem, feel free to move thread.)
Been using the windows classic themes i previous windows xp/vista because i like the look of it. When i installed windows 7 and turned on the classic theme i feel like it has a slitly "delay" when moving a window. This problem i dont experience with any other windows 7 Aero themes. Been searching the forum for a solution but cant seem to find one
Example: Running a movie in VLC and moving a window over the screen make it appear as if i were "pulling" a second window behind it. Like when you turn on mouse tracks and move the mouse.

it looks like unless your using Aero, Windows7 doesn't use hardware acceleration:
Classic and Basic Theme slower than Aero - Windows 7 Taskforce
That coupled with the high resolution makes it slow

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland State Board of Elections has issued guidance on fundraising during the legislative session, when it is banned for state lawmakers and statewide office holders.
The guidance released by the board Thursday says candidates who are not affected by the law can continue raising money, if the funds are deposited in his or her authorized campaign committee.
The issue is relevant in the governor's race, because Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown's running mate, Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, is not covered by the ban during the 90-day session, which begins Jan. 8.
Attorney General Doug Gansler, who also is seeking the Democratic nomination in the governor's race, is barred from raising money during session. His running mate, Del. Jolene Ivey, also cannot raise money.

Support of scientific applications
[edit] EUAsiaGrid Application Repository
[EUAsiaGrid Application Repository]http://applications.euasiagrid.org/app_list.php?l=20
[edit] Objectives
The main objective of the WP3 is to attract user communities through explicit support of applications in specific areas. The work will start with a set of applications in carefully selected areas where the applications running on the gLite-based (EGEE) Grid are already available and where is also proven interest and adequate scientific expertise available among project partners. In parallel, active search for new user communities that can benefit from the access to a Grid infrastructure will be performed. WP3 will help to establish appropriate Virtual Organisations (at the organisational level), will help them to negotiate necessary resources within the EGEE infrastructure and/or national Grid infrastructures and will provide wide support to the use of actual applications. The WP3 partners will also support adaptation of application specific to the target Asian region to run on top of the gLite middleware. The main tasks are:
- To give support to EGEE applications, selected on the basis of already existing collaborations between EU and Asian partners, to be the pilots to run on the Asian e-Infrastructure.
- To identify new user communities which could profit of the use of the Asian e-Infrastructure.
[edit] Applications
- High Energy Physics Applications (ATLAS, CMS)
- Computational Chemistry
- Mitigation of natural disasters
- Bioinformatics and Biomedics
- Social Science Applications
- Promoting new scientific communities to the use of the Grid
[edit] Description of work
WP3.1 EGEE applications support (M1-M24):
It will give support to deploy on the Asian e-Infrastructure the EGEE applications relevant for the scientific collaboration between EU and Asian partners and to establish and support the user communities (through appropriate Virtual Organisations). The task will be further split into five subtasks, that represent the identified application areas. The whole task will be coordinated by the WP3 leader CESNET while the leadership of individual subtasks will belong to the following organisations:
Computational Chemistry -CESNET
Mitigation of natural disasters -ASGC
Social Science Applications -NCeSS
Biomed/BioInformatics -HealthGrid
WP3.2 Collection of specification and requirements of the regional applications (M1-M8):
It will work with all the WP3 partners as well as other institutions in the target Asian region to identify potentially interesting scientific communities and their applications to benefit from access to the Grid infrastructure. This work will be coordinated by ASGC, as the local knowledge is essential. This application-oriented requirements gathering effort will be complemented by the elicitation of more general requirements inWP2.
WP3.3 Promoting new applications (M8-M24):
Using the results of task WP3.2, the Asian scientific communities which will best benefit from the Asian e-Infrastructure will be selected. It will provide specific support helping the selected user communities to integrate their applications with the gLite middleware and run it on the EGEE Grid. While for the overall coordination of this task is responsibility of the workpackage leader CESNET each new application area will become a subtask (like in WP3.1) and will have assigned a subtask/area leader from among the consortium partners. We expect Asian partners to take the leadership role in these subtasks.
In general, all partners are participating in the WP3 and most of the man power is contributed by the Asian partners. The European partners will play primary the coordination and initial support role, with Asian partners gradually taking more and more responsibility for the actual work foreseen within this workpackage. This way the EUAsiaGrid will support establishment of permanent user communities that will be able to continue their work after the end of the EUAsiaGrid project.
[edit] Deliverables
D3.1 Specifications and requirements of the applications (M12);
The deliverable will provide results of the search for new applications in the target Asian region in terms of concrete high-level specifications and requirements of these applications (this information will be used in the next phase to support adaptation of these applications to the gLite middleware/EGEE environment).
D3.2 Status of EU-Asia collaboration on EGEE and regional applications (M22);
The deliverable will contain a description of results achieved and problems encountered from the use of applications already ported to gLite-based Grid as part of the EGEE effort and applications adapted as part of the WP3 effort.
D3.3 Final report on applications (M24);
Final state of the adaptation and availability of applications in the target Asian region.nda

Scan and Fix prompt everytime I connect external USB
Hi there I get the following message everytime I connect my external USB hard drive :
Do you want to scan and fix (E TV Shows ?
(See screenshot)
Anyway I've got a lot of important data on there and don't want to lose it. If I choose to Scan and fix it, will it erase the data ?
I don't know why Windows is giving this message in the first place, everything on the hard drive seems to be working fine as far as I know. It's just annoying seeing it everytime I connect it to my computer.
So my questions is, what will happen If I "Scan and Fix it" ?
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2010
A quick Google search found someone who said the problem was due to unclean dismount (yanking the drive out of the plug instead of ejecting it from the OS first).
One possible solution looks like this:
Insert the USB drive.
Empty your recycle bin (see if it prompts you to remove the corrupt item and do so).
Go onto the USB drive, unhide your system files, and delete the "$RECYCLE.BIN" file.

Here is another article I just ran across that might help your problem.
The gist of this one is to run chkdsk on the drive.
I'm curious about it too because everything I've read says to absolutely not click "Scan and Fix."

Windows 7 x64 pro/ Windows 7 x86 Pro/ XP SP3 x86
1) Typically this prompt means that a delayed write wasn't completed (i.e. a cache wasn't flushed successfully) and it marks the drive signature as dirty and needing to be scanned.
Try disabling Write-caching on the removable drive i.e. optimize for safe removal. Heres a tutorial to help you do that.
Write-Caching - Enable or Disable
2) If you have already disabled caching and the problem still occurs, the only thing I can think of is to disable the following Services - Diagnostic Policy Service, Diagnostic Service Host and the Diagnostic System Host.
Be aware that disabling these services will also stop any prompts from Action Center if Windows detects some piece of hardware or driver malfunctioning. So this step is not recommended as a permanent measure but only for troubleshooting purposes.

STAUNTON --Some people in the Valley are displaying their art but it's not the average exhibit. You maybe surprised to know that the masterpieces were created by people with mental illnesses.
"It's gonna dispel the stigma that mentally ill people can't do much and they are so different. It's gonna show that they are like other people," said occupational therapist Carol Sease.
"We feel that this group is really an under served group of artists. Differently an under recognized group of artists," said Executive Director of the Staunton-Augusta Art Center Beth Hodge.
The works are completed by people who are with Western State Hospital and people in the Staunton community. Some deal with severe depression,bi-polar disorder,schizophrenia and other illnesses.
"For these patients, it's a way for them to express some of their emotions they might have. It's a way for them to learn a coping strategy," said Sease.
Sease said working with her patients is a lot of fun. Especially when they surprise themselves by making great art.
"People who have mental illness are just as capable as some people who don't of doing good art," said Sease.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. It's on the second floor of the Staunton-Augusta art center. It's to celebrate mental health awareness month. It's closed June 1st. It's made possible by the Mental Health America of Augusta, Western State Hospital and a number of other organizations.

Local vacation can't simply give advantages for the regional populace but and to bring about regional income. How many tourists visiting the location employed by inhabitants with tourist organizations starting lodging, food, gifts, car rental, etc.
Well, the tax-generated from these firms makes growing local revenues. The upsurge in income this spot isn't more likely to create the location more liquidity sophisticated, and is anxious, developing. But however, this disorder is stopped there's a challenge that will happen in the region of vacation. What're the problems? Offered from many places, here are a few of the problems:
The tourists could be certain the visitor regions aren't merely from your location but also from outside land, the location, and also offshore. Given these problems, it's not difficult significantly busy roads caused by public transportation, two-wheeled cars, rental vehicles or individual automobiles used local part of tourists and vacation.
Top of newcomers isn't prone to induce a harmful motive for anyone to manage to rely on them to produce a profit. Usage is here now in addition to pickpocketing, works holdup, theft, or others which can be negative to tourists.
Impact on native cultures
The people aren't totally unusual to gain the neighborhood citizenry. The idea? Isn't more likely to influence the native tradition introduced by overseas people while occupants aren't working with national techniques which were employed.
The cost difference is striking
Truly when an individual to get larger earnings would be led by the group. Effectively, these situations will also be more likely to happen while in the visitor places, where the purchase price provided the car-rental costs, rental housing, or others is going to be fairly costly.

Traveling Europe on Motorcycles coming from US
I just started searching around the forums and across the internet trying to figure out the best way a US citizen can travel around Europe on motorcycles for about a month or so.
I have found that most information is not very specific and very outdated.
Can anyone on here help me out? Can I get a bike here in the states and ship it over or should I buy one in Europe?
Also, how does registration, insurance, license, etc. work to travel legally throughout Europe being a US citizen?
Thanks, in advance
From what I understand, it is generally a huge pain for a US citizen to buy a bike in Europe and in fact can't be done without someone from Europe putting the bike in their name...someone please correct me if I am wrong.
So probably best if you ship your own bike to Europe or rent, both of which can be expensive. Search on this site and the "Trip Planning" subforum on ADVRider for more info on these options.
Paperwork is easy--get international license from AAA (easy), get insurance in europe (easy), maintain US registration while the bike is in Europe (generally easy).
I have had a US registered bike in the europe for the last year and a half or so, no problems.
I'm doing it the other way around. Planning to fly my bike from Munich to Toronto (apparantly it's easier, cheaper, more reliable).
I asked several companies to quote and they all came back around the $2k mark one way.
Shipping by boat is a lot cheaper but takes a long time and isn't as reliable so for a vacation, for me, not an option.
FYI I'm using motorcycleexpress.com but I got a lot of info on companies from BMW Motorcycle Owners of America
hope that helps..time to make my own post and stop hijacking yours :p
"www.AlpineRoads.com - The Best Biking Roads In The Alps" is a good source of info
Look at knopf tours.
They can help in buying, renting or shipping you own bike.
regarding your travel plan, it really depends how long you've planned to stay in Europe and which country your want to visit. Shipping a bike from the US for one month period is quiet expensive.. It is also depending when it is planned.
I have a spare bike that I can rent for limited budget, all that needs to be done is to insured the bike. let me know if your are interested..
I live in Centre of France so it's quiet convenient to reach most european country.
Take care

I will also be in Europe this summer. Specifically for some climbing in France then possibly Italy or Spain. I had similar plans to use a bike to get around, then got frustrated by the costs and logistics of the whole thing. So if none of these gentlemen are interested I certainly am. Any ideas on how difficult it would be to insure as a Canadian citizen?
We are not in a climbing region as we live in touraine (Tours) and have unfortunately no moutain. but if y'ou re passing around we help it out to find a bike.
I actually have a spare CBR R honda (I now have a 1200 GS) and sometimes I want to keep it and sometimes to sell it. So I can garantee i will still have it this summer if I change my mind. But I can help out locally to find you a bike if you are interested. insurance is another stoy, finding is not a problem, it's more a question of cost.. you also have to have a adress in france (but we can sort this out..)
We'll keep in touch.
see you
bike shipping
I'm an American living in Belgium. Short version... in '08 I bought a Harley in Alaska, rode for a month in Canada and the U.S. and then shipped it over here. NO PROBLEMS...until Belgium Customs got involved. But that's another story. Berkley Air Freight was $1425 from N.Y.C. to Brussels. That was less than a boat, and months quicker. The Bike was on a dedicated pallet and arrived unscathed. Highly recommended. Insurance here was not a problem, even with the Alaska plate. To buy a bike, at least in Belgium is an expensive proposition. If you want/need more info, I'm in the Westerlo community.........steve
shipping USA > Europe
Hello RDF,
I've just shipped my bike back from Spain to Boston with Chris.
He will give you a quote based on crate volume so the smaller the crate, the cheaper it will be.
The bike was shipped door to door so I paid extra for that.
It was picked up in southern Spain Dec 2nd arrived at my house in Boston Feb 8th.
Cost was £1,300.00 AND I had to crate it. If I had arranged it to be shipped from UK, it would have been around £1,000.00 and even cheaper if I had not had it delivered to my house. You also might get a deal if you plan a round trip for you bike and you could use the same crate!
If you're only going for a month, there is a company in Long Island NY I used that provided motorcycle travel insurance as long as you have a valid registration...I can find out the name of the company if you need it. Would involve digging out some old paper work.
Your US driving license is valid over there. Also, any tickets you may pick up will not be processed due to international complications...at least in the UK which is speed camera central. Not that you'll be going over the limit of course! :>)
best of luck with your trip
I'm looking for the exact same information. Here is what I have found out so far.
You'll need Green Card Insurance. Its insurance for your bike in Europe most port customs offices sell it. For one month it runs around $120 - $150. But that's only one way coverage. I'm still looking for full coverage. As soon as I find something I'll let you know. I found one company here in the US but they won't have any pricing for another month. They are finalizing the contracts with the main insurance company. I would like to have that in hand before I leave the US.
You don't need any special driver license in Europe. You can ride on your regular US license.
You need to bring your registration and title with you.
I have a company that can sea fright the bike from NYC to German for $350. But when I called the company from whom I would be picking up the bike in German from they told me that I'll have to leave a 25% of the value of the bike as a deposit. It's a deposit of VAT and other government taxes in case I sell the bike. Once I send it back to US they refund it. This I have not yet confirmed. I have heard that this deposit is not required. I' also looking into air fright. I just came across this site Warren Motorcycle Transport www.gate.net. I'm considering spending the extra money and shipping it by air. Also I'm still researching shipping options and cost of the return trip back to the US.
This is all the info I have gathered so far, hope its a little helpful.

David Walliams has announced that he will undergo emergency back surgery this week for an injury he sustained during his eight-day Thames swim in 2011.
The Little Britain star announced that he has cancelled all work commitments for the rest of the year while he recovers from the operation, which will repair a torn disc sustained during the charity event.
David, who has a baby son, Alfred, with his wife Lara Stone, has been forced to postpone an upcoming event in London on December 7 to promote his children's books.
He said in his statement, "Fortunately we are able to reschedule the event for March, and hopefully I will see most of you there. I wish you all a merry Christmas."
David has had an increasingly busy year, most recently filming a TV adaptation of his bestselling book, Gangsta Granny, with Robbie Williams, and starring opposite Sheridan Smith on stage in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

A full gate of 14 runners is looking like a strong possibility for the 90th running of the Grade 1, $750,000 Blue Grass on April 12, the centerpiece of the 15-day Keeneland Spring Meet that opens Friday.
According to Racing Secretary Ben Huffman and Stakes Coordinator Scott Jones, 13 horses are considered as probable and another three are possible for the 1 1/8-mile test that offers 170 points toward the 140th Kentucky Derby, with 100 points going to the winner and a guaranteed spot in the starting gate.
The Blue Grass is limited to 14 starters. If more than 14 are entered April 9, preference will be given to graded stakes winners and then highest earnings. Only three runnings of the Blue Grass have attracted 14-horse fields: 1954, 1974 and 2013.
Heading the list of probables is Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Bobby's Kitten. Trained by Chad Brown, Bobby's Kitten won the Pilgrim last fall at Belmont and finished third as the favorite in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita. Bobby's Kitten won his 2014 debut at Tampa Bay Downs on March 9.
Also on the probable list are the one-two finishers from the Palm Beach at Gulfstream, Gala Award and Mr Speaker, and the respective second through fifth finishers from the Spiral -- Harry's Holiday, Coastline, Asserting Bear and Big Bazinga.
Expected to venture to Keeneland from California is Dance With Fate, runner-up in the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate in his most recent start. Trained by Peter Eurton, Dance With Fate finished second in the FrontRunner and Del Mar Futurity as a two-year-old.
Other probables for the race, which Java's War won in 2013, are Divine Oath, Extrasexyhippzster, Pablo Del Monte, Vinceremos and Woodfield Springs. Possible entrants include Cleburne, Danza and Ring Weekend.
Three-year-olds will also be in the spotlight during Keeneland's opening weekend.
The first of the meet's five Grade 1s is the $500,000 Ashland at 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack. Entries will be taken Wednesday for the race. As of Monday 10 fillies were considered as probable for the race, according to Jones, and topping that list are Testa Rossi and Rosalind.
Testa Rossi, a stablemate of Bobby's Kitten's from the Brown barn, won the Miss Grillo and ran second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf to complete 2013. In her 2014 debut, she won the Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs.
Rosalind, trained by Ken McPeek, finished second in the Alcibiades here and was a narrowly beaten third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. McPeek won the 2002 Ashland with Take Charge Lady.
Other probables include Candy Kitty, Interrupted, Naive Enough, On the Backstreets, Resistivity, Room Service, Seeking Her Glory and Thank You Marylou. Possible entrants include Macaroon and Saturday Bliss.
The 26th running of the Grade 3, $100,000 Transylvania at 1 1/16 miles on the turf on Friday figures to attract at least seven runners when entries are taken Tuesday. Topping the probables for the race are three-time stakes winner Storming Inti and Generous winner Global View.
Also considered likely for the race are Hesinfront, Kody With a K, Laddie Boy, Picozza and Pleuven with Ry's the Man considered as possible.

How to Stage a Social Media Comeback
August 31, 2011
We all know what it's like to fall of the wagon. It happens all the time and the pattern looks like this: You take a class on a skill you wanted to learn, leave the class feeling inspired, zealously put your new-found skills to use, only to find that a month later your energy fizzles and your efforts fall by the wayside. If this sounds vaguely familiar to your social media marketing story, you're not alone. It's common for businesses to start a social media marketing campaign, because they know it's the right thing to do, but put it on the back burner when things get really busy.
Coming out from social media hibernation can be daunting and arguably even harder than starting from scratch. Here are 8 things you can do to make your life a little easier when you decide to launch your social media comeback.
1. Get to the Bottom of It
Before you go barreling back into another social media marketing campaign, it's important that you pinpoint the exact reason you failed with your initial efforts, so that you can avoid making the same mistake again. Try doing a root cause analysis. There are different methods of conducting root cause analysis, but the main thing is that you focus on figuring out the exact cause of your failure rather than simply addressing the symptoms.
2. Simplify
Is it possible that the reason your social media efforts failed in the first place is that you bit off more than you could chew? Your social media marketing plan doesn't have to include every social media network under the sun. If you try to do too much you're more likely to burn out or lose steam. Instead, pick two or three social media activities or networks that make the most sense for your business and focus your energy there. Create a social media schedule based around these three networks and stick to the plan. Re-evaluate your strategy after a month and revise it accordingly. If you feel you can add another activity or network at that time, go for it!
3. Undergo an Environmental Change
If you have any doubts about your ability to maintain your social media plan once you start your comeback tour, try changing your environment. For example, carve out a slot in your schedule each day and dedicate it to your social media campaign. Instead of sitting at your desk during this time, relocate to a coffee shop so that you aren't tempted by your other job duties. Soon enough you'll start to associate that coffee shop with your social media marketing activities and it will become a regular part of your routine.
4. Stay Focused on What's Important
It's easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of a new initiative. The trick is staying focus and not losing interest the minute something more pressing comes up. Peter Bregman gives great advice on how to stay focused in his blog post in Harvard Business Review. Basically it boils down to narrowing down your priorities to a list of 5 things, and devoting 95% of your day to accomplishing them. That way you don't get distracted by the million other options you have in a given day that take away from what is really important to you.
5. Define Your End Goal
In order to track the success of your social media comeback you must have a definite goal in place from the start. Watching your progress as you climb the social media ladder and knowing how far you have left to go will keep you focused and motivated to continue with your efforts.
6. Reconnect
Luckily you don't have to take out a full-page press release to let your social media followers know you're back on the scene. That's what the networks are for! Make use of Facebook and Twitter to announce that you're rekindling your social media flame and give them a reason to pay attention to you again. Chances are, your blog has been lying dormant for a while and the content may be irrelevant by this point. Go through and weed out or modify any stale content and focus on putting out great content to revamp your blog.
7. Have an Agenda
I briefly touched on having a social media schedule in Step 2, however this is deserving of it's own step. Develop a publishing schedule that lays out exactly when you will send out tweets, update facebook, and post new blog posts. Be very specific about the type of content you'll be posting and make sure that the schedule is within your limits. The last thing you want to do is to burn out again, resulting in another comeback tour down the road.
8. Start Fresh on New Networks
With the growing popularity of social media and the advent of new networks on a daily basis, I'd be willing to bet that there are a few new social media networks out there since your first social media stint. Figure out what they are and get a fresh start on one that fits in with your plan. The beauty of a new network is that most of the users are going to be just starting out too, so you don't have to feel like you're late to the party. If things are going particularly well with this hot new social media network, chances are the momentum will carry over to your other networks.
Staging a social media comeback isn't something you want to have to do more than once (or ever ideally), so before you launch back into it make sure you're ready and committed. If you try to get back into it before you're ready, you'll go crazy trying to learn everything there is to know and do it all. If you try to launch your comeback before you're fully committed, you'll end up reverting back to your old habits and letting social media take the back seat again.

With the arrival of fresh inmates we meet the deceptive Vee Parker and the delusional Brook Soso played by Kimiko Glenn. Piper is no longer the new girl behind bars!
Soso is a strange and fragile addition to the cast of Orange is the New Black that introduces an interesting dynamic to the story-line. Not much is known about her past in season 2 apart from the fact that she is a raving fan of counterculture and hasn't been prepared much for the experience behind bars.
Brook Soso
Before being locked up in Litchfield prison, Brook Soso worked as a volunteer on an organic farm in Ohio. We don't get to see any specific flashbacks of her past in the second season, but she does reveal some insight to Piper.
Outside of the prison she was very close to her friend named Meadow, whom she is constantly referencing in the show. Apparently, Piper reminds Soso of Meadow at first, making the Scottish Japanese descended inmate latch on to her in the first weeks of lockup. Here Soso talks about her name and what she did to get arrested: "Hi, I'm Brook Soso. Brook because of Brooke Shields, but without the E because it's cooler. I got arrested for political activism, obviously".
Piper is quickly sickened by Soso's delusionally childish demeanor and tries her best to distance herself. Soso has a bit of a motor mouth that persistently annoys the inmates with uninteresting information about civil rights and its history.
Another thing inmates dislike about Soso is her stench. She is persistent in her hippy ways and refuses to shower, drawing the attention of both inmates and staff members.
Soso quickly realizes the harsh reality of prison and the selfishness of inmates when she is used as a pawn in a deal between Piper and Big Boo.
Piper wants a blanket back from Boo, who bargains for a night of sex with Soso.
When Soso sees the plan to sell her out, and only for a blanket, she is disgusted by the cruel intentions of Piper.
The injustices within the prison community and from staff members inspires Brook to campaign for change. Many inmates feel that she is wasting her time and doesn't have the backbone to inspire real positive changes within Litchfield Prison.
Sister Jane Ingalls doesn't appear to like Soso despite their obvious similarities. Like Ingalls, Soso is locked up for political activism. Ingalls views Soso as a millennial distortion of a once morally sound type of activist. They are at first considerably distanced from each other.
When Soso notices injustice in Litchfield, she decides to take action against the corrupt system by starting a hunger strike. It begins as a very small act, as a matter of fact for a while it's just her. Eventually, a few other inmates join her and she gathers a small following.
Pennsatucky's former friends, Yoga Jones, and eventually Sister Ingalls join in the fight for the fair treatment of inmates in Litchfield. After the inmates begin to get used to Soso, she quickly adapts and settles into the prison life, singing songs and showing a lack of fear when it comes to interacting with others and projecting her extroverted personality.
Kimiko Glenn
Kimiko Glenn is an Arizona native who grew up in Phoenix. Her passion for acting began at the young age of ten when she began participating at the Valley Youth Theatre. During her freshman year at Boston Conservatory, she landed a role in a touring rendition of Spring Awakening.
After several years, she decided to settle down in New York and get her television and film career started. She found roles in the movies Hair Brained and Nous York and played a small role in Law & Order: SVU before landing her part as Brook Soso in Orange is the New Black. Just like her character in the show, Kimiko is of Japanese and Scottish descent with an unmentioned blend of German.
Kimiko says that she was halfway through watching Orange is the New Black's first season when she got the audition request. She might be relatively new compared to her fellow cast-mates in the show but her acting proves to be on par with some of the greats.
Kimiko Glenn as bad-ass?
Kimiko Glenn initially thought she wouldn't be a good fit among the bad-ass lineup of inmates, but quickly found out her character was a blatant contradiction to the average convict. She has enjoyed working with cast members like Jackie Cruz (Flaca) and memorizing songs like "stay" for Soso's sing-along scenes.
What to Love
- Her innocence
- Her concern for the welfare of fellow inmates
- She stays true to her values
What Not to Love
- Her motor mouth
- The chronic body odor from not taking showers

The aromas to this are incredible with blueberry, minerals, dried flowers, and stones. It goes to dried meat and spices. Full body and incredibly integrated with blackberry, licorice, and minerals. There's a wonderful purity to this. It goes on for minutes. The quality of tannins is amazing. Seamless. There's an amazing transparency that shows you all the elements of the wine's unique terrior. Try after 2018.
(2/ 2013)
An absolutely amazing wine...It comes from one of the few biodynamic vineyards in Bordeaux, but you are likely to see many more, given the success that Tesseron seems to be having at all levels, both in his vineyards and in his fermentation/winemaking. An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this. Unfortunately, it needs a good decade of cellaring, and thats assuming it doesnt close down over the next few years. This is a 50- to 75-year wine from one of the half-dozen or so most compulsive and obsessive proprietors in all of Bordeaux. Is there anything that proprietor Alfred Tesseron is not doing right? Talk about an estate that is on top of its game! Pontet-Canets 2010 is a more structured, tannic and restrained version of their most recent perfect wine, the 2009. Kudos to Pontet-Canet!
(2/ 2013)
Dense, yes, but this is also a handsome wine that balances complex tannins with pure black currant fruits that shine. This biodynamic wine has a generous, full and rich feel, ripe with just a touch of restraint. The greatness of the wine shows in its purity with a deceptive simplicity that hides the final complex tannins and structure.
(3/ 2013)
This is big, broad and powerfully rendered, but remarkably polished and refined at the same time. An enormous core of roasted fig, blackberry and black currant fruit is suavely wrapped with roasted apple wood and sandalwood, while dark espresso, loam and warm paving stone notes drive the finish. Very long, with a great tug of scorched earth at the end. A terrific combination of power and precision. Best from 2020 through 2040.
(3/ 2013)
Bright ruby-red. Superripe, soil-driven aromas of currant, plum, cherry pie, mocha and minerals; almost liqueur-like in its ripeness, in a 1947 way. Then huge, sweet and plush, with great volume and depth to its flavors of cassis, flowers, minerals, game and olive. Finishes with big, ripe, horizontal tannins and great mounting length. This remarkably thick wine is actually a bit youthfully stunted today and should really be cellared for ten years. It should go on for three or four decades in a cool cellar. 95(+?) points
(8/ 2013)
Lovely restraint and purity on the nose: savoury, dark fruit. Then really concentrated and closed on the palate. Not terribly expressive but refined and promising. Dry, powder-fine tannins. Long. 18/20 points.

A nice assortment of three types of crackers. Each one is delicious by itself, but being able to offer a variety to customers certainly is a nice touch. It can let them choose their favorite or one of each to enjoy the variety.

I was able to offer our customers more to choose from when it comes to crackers for their soup. It was a nice variety pack.
Kimberly D. from Midway OH Boy Posted on 04/12/2014
This is the product of Lance crackers I typically order the most. It is nice to stock the condiment bar with these, allowing them to chose the cracker they prefer. It isn't crucial or anything but I think little things like that make a difference for customers.

I have an SQL dump that is around 70GB in size with over a thousand databases inside of it. I am attempting to import it via command line, however I receive the error message...
Access Denied for user
localhost to Database
I have read on Server Fault and Stack Overflow and everyone suggested removing the information_schema info from the SQL dump before importing it. The backup is too massive to do it with any friendly tools (notepad++, etc) and the few tools I found that could edit the file didn't make it easy.
As the information_schema data is quite long and I can't tell where it stops and the rest of the data starts, is there any way to do the import and just omit that?

Vampire Diaries' hunk Matt Davis has been cast as the male lead in CW's Cult pilot, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Deadline first reported the news.
In the drama, an inquisitive, young female production assistant (Melrose Place reboot star Jessica Lucas) on a wildly popular television show called Cult joins a journalist blogger (Davis) in investigating the rabid fans of the series who might be re-creating crimes seen on the program in real life.

Davis, who's also well-known for his role in Legally Blonde, portrays history teacher Alaric Saltzman, who is also Elena's current guardian on Vampire Diaries. The 33-year-old actor will be able to do both shows if Cult is picked up.

Finding the best interest rate is a lot easier today than it was even a few years ago. Here at Dough Roller we track rates on everything from checking and savings accounts to mortgages to CDs. It occurred to me, however, that there was no one single page on the site where you could find the top rate for each type of account. So we created this page, updated monthly, to track the highest (or lowest) rates available.
We focus on those financial institutions that have low fees, great rates, and are typically available anywhere in the U.S. You can find local banks and credit unions that offer comparable rates, but their availability is limited geographically. With that said, here are the best interest rates we've found for November 2014:
Checking Accounts: Most checking accounts do not pay interest. For online banks, however, you'll find plenty of options where you can earn some interest on your funds. There are two things to keep in mind. First, many banks offer higher interest rates only if you keep a lot of money in your checking account. Second, the rates are lower than a savings account or CD.
With that, this month the top rate goes to Everbank, which currently pays 0.85% APY on balances up to $9,999. The rate goes even higher with larger balances. This offer is competitive and even beats most savings accounts. Other top paying checking accounts that we like include FNBO Direct, which currently pays 0.65% APY. For those with at least $15,000 in checking, you can earn 0.60% APY from Ally Bank. I list Ally second because most people don't keep that much cash in checking, but it's an option for those who do. These rates are unchanged from previous months.
Bonus: For those looking for a cash bonus, try the Capital One 360 checking account. It currently offers a $50 new account bonus. Check out the Capital One 360 website for complete details.
Bonus #2: I also keep a running list of popular checking account promotions you can check out.
Savings Accounts: The top savings account rate with no minimum requirement goes to Synchrony Bank (formerly GE Capital Retail Bank), which pays 0.95% APY and GE Capital Bank, which also pays 95% APY. GE Capital Bank's rate is up from 0.90% APY a few months ago. Another bank of note is Barclays, which pays 0.90% APY. Two other options that aren't far behind are American Express Bank (0.80% APY) and Ally (0.90% APY). These rates are also unchanged from last month.
Best CD Rates: The rates on certificates of deposit vary based on the term. The longer the term, the higher the rate. Keep in mind that penalties may apply if you close the CD before the end of the term. For a 12-month CD, the best rate we could find is at GE Capital (1.10% APY), which is unchanged from our last report.
Mortgages: Listing the "best" mortgage rate is really impossible. Rates change throughout the day, vary by state, and are highly dependent on a number of factors including credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and down payment. That being said, the average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage is 3.98% according to Freddie Mac (down from 4.19% last month). The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage is 3.13%, down 23 basis points from last month. You can check out our mortgage rate page, which is updated throughout the day.
Here's a chart of mortgage rate trends:
Credit Cards: The longest 0% introductory period stands at 18 months on both purchases and balance transfers. You can find 0% for 18 months on balance transfers with the Discover it card.
If you find better rates on any of the above financial products, please let us know in the comments below.
Note that the above rates were as of November 2, 2014. Rates are subject to change, so please confirm the rates directly with the financial institution.

A debt-to-income ratio is a personal finance measure that compares the amount of debt you have to your gross income. Lenders use the debt-to-income ratio as a way to measure your ability to manage the payments you make each month and repay the money you have borrowed. It is calculated by dividing your total recurring monthly debt by your gross monthly income.
A credit score, on the other hand, is a numeric expression that helps lenders estimate the risk of extending credit or loaning money to people. The most common credit score is the FICO score, a measurement based on five factors that affect the credit score:
- Payment history - 35%
- How much you owe and how much credit you use - 30%
- Length of your credit history - 15%
- New lines of credit - 10%
- Other factors - 10%
Your debt-to-income ratio does not directly affect your credit score. This is because the credit agencies do not know how much money you earn, so they are not able to make the calculation. The credit agencies do, however, look at your debt-to-credit ratio. This compares your credit card balances to the total amount of credit you have available. It is calculated by dividing your credit card balance(s) by your credit limit(s). For example, if you have credit card balances totaling $4,000 with a credit limit of $10,000, your debt-to-credit ratio would be 40% ($4,000 / $10,000 = 0.40, or 40%). In general, the more a person owes relative to their credit limit, the lower their credit score will be. This is because you are seen as more of a risk if you're already maxing out your lines of credit.
Both your debt-to-income and debt-to-credit ratios are used to determine if you qualify for a mortgage, but only the debt-to-credit ratio has any effect on your credit score.

ADVANCE NOTICE 37 Ways, LLC reserves the right to cancel a class due to bad weather, illness or insufficient registration. If a class is canceled, you will be notified and a refund is processed. Once a class has begun, there are no refunds. To guarantee a tutoring time slot, minimum 4-hour advanced notice is required to schedule, reschedule or cancel an appointment. Otherwise, same fee applies.
No make-up sessions and no refunds for any missed classes or sessions. Please plan ahead to ensure attendance.
In case of student's illness or bad weather condition, please call, text or email to reschedule. In order to achieve the best results, we want to make sure the student is in healthy condition and can focus on the materials.
LOCATION Private lessons are typically held at mutual public locations at the standard rates with no commuting charge.
NOTE: For the safety of our students, we no longer publicize the class location on our website. Participants who have registered and paid will be notified the class location before class starts. Thank you for your understanding!

Caption: Top and side views of the Milky Way galaxy show the location of four of the new class of hypervelocity stars. These are sun-like stars that are moving at speeds of more than a million miles per hour relative to the galaxy: fast enough to escape its gravitational grasp. The general directions from which the stars have come are shown by the colored bands.
