- Mineralized Bionanoparticle Pickering Emulsions (2008)
- Various aspects of mineralized, bionanoparticle-stabilized Pickering emulsions were investigated in this work. Proteins (HSA, BSA, fetuin-A), protein cages (ferritin) and plant viruses (CPMV, TYMV, TMV) were employed to produce functional nanopatterned surfaces and interfaces by means of Pickering emulsions which were employed in biomimetic hydroxy apatite mineralization to produce inorganic biocompatible surfaces and hollow mineral spheres. The work accounts for the emerging interest and significant technological implications of protein and particle stabilized emulsions as well as bio-inorganic nanostructured composite materials. First, the bionanoparticles were characterized with SEC, UV-Vis, SLS, DLS, TEM and SDS-PAGE. Solutions of BSA, fetuin-A and ferritin contained aggregates and had to be fractionated with SEC for the following studies. Structural characterization of the viruses was accomplished by TEM with negative staining. Further, CPMV was labelled with fluorescein and tetramethylrhodamine. The preparation of CPMV-solutions from frozen leaves of cowpea plants is shortly described, too. Next, kinetic investigations of the adsorption process of the bionanoparticles at the decane/buffer solution interface were performed with pendant drop tensiometry. Interfacial pressure isotherms were recorded for BSA, HSA, fetuin-A, ferritin, CPMV and TYMV. A detailed explanation of the previously developed model of variable surface states of adsorbed proteins and various aspects of protein adsorption experiments were necessary as basis for the discussion and the modelling of the isotherms and the dynamic surface tension. The surface pressure isotherms of BSA and ferritin as well as the dynamic surface tension of BSA could be modelled successfully and were in excellent agreement with previous reports. Further, oil-in-water Pickering emulsions with perfluorooctane or an UV-crosslinkable PDMS precursor oil were prepared. The liquid-liquid interface could be imaged by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy while the solid interfaces could be accessed with SEM and AFM. The bionanoparticles at the interface formed a dense assembly but the pattern did not show any long-range order. Interestingly, the rods of TMV formed no liquid-crystalline array but an irregular, sparse assembly at the interface. Height determinations of the adsorbed virus with AFM and TEM of cross-sections from embedded interfaces showed that TMV was not significantly immersed into the oil phase. The adsorption of BSA and ferritin could be further proven by fluorescence microscopy of solid Pickering emulsions that have reacted with fluorescently labelled antibodies. Finally, mineralization with hydroxy apatite (HAP) was conducted with various solutions under different conditions. The use of a simulated body fluid (SBF) allowed a biomimetic mineralization. A pre-incubation step on bioactive glass particles was necessary to induce HAP growth with SBF at physiological concentrations. Further, 1.5-fold concentrated SBF solution (1.5 SBF/cit) and an oversaturated calcium phosphate solution (Ca/P/cit), both containing citrate, were employed. The development of hydroxy apatite coatings on PET as model substrate was followed with time. PDMS-surfaces with immobilized proteins were used to mimic bio-related interfaces. Extensive structural and compositional characterization was performed with SEM and EDX. The induction and growth of hydroxy apatite was discussed and compared in detail for surfaces with different immobilized bionanoparticles and for different mineralization conditions. Dense coatings were achieved with SBF and Ca/P/cit. Surfaces prepared with ferritin and SDS yielded generally the smoothest and most compact HAP layers. Finally, true bionanoparticle Pickering emulsions (i.e. liquid-liquid interfaces) were used to produce mineral capsule shells. The development of the interfacial mineralization was investigated after various incubation times and exchanges of the mineralization solutions. The observed surface morphologies were explained by different mechanisms of nuclei formation and HAP growth. Particularly, the use of 1.5 SBF/cit or Ca/P/cit led to a dense pattern of single separated nuclei at the interface which tended to grow together to form compact shells. Ferritin-based Pickering emulsions were usually mineralized more weakly than BSA- and fetuin-A-based ones. In the case of Ca/P/cit, the slow mineralization of ferritin-coated oil droplets led to a controlled and very homogeneous formation of thin HAP composite shells. The combination of different mineralization mechanisms allowed the preparation of capsules with various controlled shell thicknesses and surface morphologies. Finally, the work contributes to the basic understanding of protein adsorption at liquid-liquid interfaces and their interfacial structures and shows new ways for the production of composite biomaterials through interfacial templating.

Organic Golden Amber Durum
Imported Traditional
Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.Advanced Search
Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are small batch hand crafted at our Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark using traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole grain durum flour is milled at our organic, AIB highest rated, Clinton, Michigan mill. Golden amber durum semolina is prepared at a certified organic mill. The dough is prepared in four separate batches - plain durum wheat and semolina wheat; durum wheat and semolina wheat mixed with carrot and annatto powder; durum wheat and semolina wheat mixed with beet powder; and durum wheat and semolina wheat mixed with spinach powder. Slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional screw press, each of the four separate batches of dough is extruded through an artisan brass sea shell die, cut into individual pieces and spread on drying racks. It goes through an initial hot air/steam dryer to reduce moisture slowly, and a final drying room where it spends about 16 hours. When ideal it's packed. Each step helps to create pasta of exceptional flavor, texture, and character. The pasta is packaged in a reclosable box, with a delicious recipe and photo from Eden's kitchen printed on the back.
All Eden Organic Pasta is packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
Whole grain is the heart of a healthy diet providing the broadest spectrum of nutrients in the proportions that we need for good health and well being. Commercial pasta is made from highly refined chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." They also state, "Low fat diets rich in grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are made with 60 percent whole grain, are low in fat and saturated fat, cholesterol free, and a good source of dietary fiber. Furthermore, "Diet low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are very low in sodium with no sodium added. They are an excellent source of riboflavin B2 with 45% of the recommended daily value (DV) per serving. A good source of carbohydrate, protein, iron, thiamin (B1), niacin (B3), phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.
When you bite into Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells the flavor and character of the whole grain and organic vegetable powders is evident. Unlike commercial pasta it holds its texture without becoming mushy, and does not cause sleep inducing carbohydrate overload. Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are made with fresh, unbleached, non-enriched flour. It doesn't need to be enriched because the grain has not been stripped of its nutrients. Eden organic pasta enhances energy, balance, clarity, and well being.
Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are a fun to eat pasta and are an excellent choice for soups, casseroles and pasta salad, or served with thick, chunky marinara or rich creamy sauces. A delicious, beautiful and versatile pasta. Beautiful, delicious, and fun in Pasta Bean Salad in our recipe section.

Ronald K. Noble
Secretary General 2000-2014
First elected on 3 November 2000 by INTERPOL's General Assembly, Mr Noble became at the age of 44 the youngest Secretary General in INTERPOL's history. Following a successful second mandate, he was re-elected by an overwhelming majority to serve a third five-year term in 2010. He stepped down from the post on 7 November 2014.
Development of enhanced technical tools for National Central Bureaus
The ability to communicate is fundamental to police work, especially at the international level. Under Mr Noble's leadership, INTERPOL developed the I-24/7 secure global police communications network, the first of its kind in the world. The network enables National Central Bureaus in all member countries to communicate in real-time and to access INTERPOL's tools and services. Recognizing a critical gap in border security efforts, Mr Noble spearheaded the creation of the only global database of stolen and lost travel documents and the MIND/FIND technical tools that put this and other INTERPOL databases directly into the hands of frontline officers. The Organization further boosted its investigative and forensic support to member countries through the development of global databases of suspected terrorists, DNA profiles and fingerprints.
Greater operational support in the face of 21st century crime challenges
Recent years have seen the scale of terrorism expand and many new Internet-facilitated crimes emerge. INTERPOL kept pace with these changes through the creation of the 24-hour Command and Coordination Centre and the deployment of more than 170 specialized teams to assist member countries dealing with terrorist incidents, urgent crises, large-scale events and identifying victims of disasters, notably the Asian tsunami. Operationally stronger, INTERPOL has conducted highly successful international operations targeting child sex abusers, dangerous fugitives and war criminals, and has supported major investigations into transnational organized crime groups.
Building bridges
As Secretary General, Mr Noble visited all 190 member countries to hear first-hand the concerns of Heads of NCBs as well as senior government and police officials. He oversaw a period of unprecedented growth at INTERPOL, with close to 90 nationalities represented at the General Secretariat and offices worldwide. The Organization also opened additional Regional Bureaus and liaison offices at the United Nations and the European Union, and pursued greater engagement with the African Union, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Commonwealth of Independent States, Organization of American States and other regional bodies. Mr Noble reinforced INTERPOL's legal status and relevance to the United Nations through the creation of the Special Notice with the UN Security Council and a greater role for police in peacekeeping operations.
Strength in neutrality
Secretary General Noble demonstrated full commitment to adherence to INTERPOL's constitution, in particular to Article 3, which forbids the Organization from undertaking any activity of a predominantly political, racial, religious or military nature. In recognition of the danger of shutting out any country in the fight against transnational crime, Mr Noble made sure all member countries were connected to INTERPOL's global police communications network, including countries which were subject to international sanctions. Under his leadership, INTERPOL honoured the decision taken by its European member countries to hold their 2006 regional conference despite concerns and strong criticism from some countries. Based on its reputation for impartiality, INTERPOL was asked by a member country to provide comprehensive and transparent technical expertise in determining whether computers and hardware seized from a terrorist camp had been manipulated.
Preparing for the road ahead
Looking ahead, INTERPOL will continue to build on the foundation of the last 10 years to ensure that it is responsive to the needs of police in its member countries. It will endeavour to foster the wider operability and scope of its databases through innovations such as I-link to benefit more frontline officers in more locations. It will set the pace in document security innovation through the ongoing development of the INTERPOL Travel Document to facilitate the crucial work of its officials. Through more focused strategic planning, the Organization will continue to devise cutting-edge but cost-efficient solutions to today's most pressing crime challenges. The creation of the INTERPOL Global Complex in Singapore – focusing on cybercrime, capacity building and advanced methods for identification of crimes and criminals – will put the Organization in a strong position to seize opportunities wherever they may exist.
Law enforcement experience and education
Prior to serving as INTERLPOL's Secretary General, Mr Noble oversaw four of the US's then-eight-largest law enforcement agencies, including the US Secret Service, the US Customs Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division. He began his career in law enforcement as a federal prosecutor specializing in organized crime, drug trafficking, fraud and corruption cases. He obtained a 100 per cent conviction rate on cases that went to trial. Mr Noble is also a fully tenured Professor at New York University School of Law. He earned his Juris Doctorate degree from Stanford Law School and Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Business Administration from the University of New Hampshire, both in the USA. In addition to his native tongue, English, Mr Noble also speaks French, Spanish and German.

Adding a little Protein to a Carb Drink is beneficial during a workout. Protein may be just as important to long-term endurance as carbs. In a trial of 15 cyclists, researchers at James Madison University found that men who sipped a drink with a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein were able to pedal 29% longer, on average, than men drinking carbs alone. "Protein helps to prevent the depletion of stored carbs within muscle fiber, allowing you to work out longer," says Mike Saunders, Ph.D., the study's author. A growing body of evidence supports the addition of protein to carbohydrate-electrolyte sports beverages used during endurance exercise as well as for recovery. Dr. Saunders says, "The proposed benefits of CHO+Pro beverages include increased endurance performance, enhanced rehydration, attenuations in markers of muscle damage and improvements in subsequent muscle function." www.Accelerade.com

Colorado Mesa University student Emily Kingston is well on her way to becoming a county music star.
When Collin Raye visited Kingston's hometown of Gypsum last July, Pam Schultz told the famous singer's manager, Dave Fowler, about her. Fowler listened to Emily's CD and liked what he heard. He invited the 19-year-old to Nashville and she recorded three of her original songs in a professional studio Dec. 15.
"It took one day to record the whole thing," said Kingston. "The band took about 30 minutes to learn each song. They listened to the song once and composed the rest of the instrumentals. It was amazing to hear my music come to life!"
Kingston only learned to play guitar last year and has written more than 20 original songs since March.
"The guy who did the mixing for my songs was Toby Keith's mixer," Kingston said. "Fowler told me he said my music was really good."
Now 20, Kingston is finishing an associate degree in kinesiology at CMU.
"I'm graduating soon and I'm thinking of moving to Nashville to pursue a music career next year," she said.
In the meantime, the demos she recorded will be used to promote her in the music business.
"Music is in her, she was born to do it," said Kingston's mom, Mallie Kingston. "She started singing with the radio when she was 3 years old. She knew all the words and could remember a song after hearing it twice. She has this huge country voice and we were like, 'We're from California - where did that come from?'"
The family moved to Gypsum when Emily was 3.
"We listened to country music as long as I can remember," Emily said.
She started competing in Gypsum's karaoke talent shows when she was 8.
"I have known Emily for a long time and have heard her sing from the time she was in high school," Schultz said. "She sang in all the events around - Gypsum Daze talent shows since day one and the Eagle County Fair contests. As she got older, her voice just got better and better. She had the stage presence, the voice and the courage to get up in front of people to sing."
Besides local talent shows, she has advanced in the preliminary auditions for national TV competitions "X Factor" and "American Idol." She didn't make it onto the big shows but she met a key influence along the way.
Local musician James Williams was a regional "X Factor" judge in Grand Junction and ended up teaching Kingston to play guitar.
"There was something about her," he said. "She had a good personality and an awesome voice. She won regionals and I talked her into coming in to prepare her voice for Dallas. I told her, 'If you could play guitar and write your own songs, it will complement your singing.'"
Kingston quickly learned the basics.
"She took to songwriting like water," Williams said. "It's been neat to watch her progress."
Emily said her fingers hurt from the guitar strings at first but Williams encouraged her to work through the initial pain.
"Now I play all the time, whenever I need a study break," Emily said. "Guitar is not that hard. I'm no Santana but I can carry a tune."
"It doesn't take me long to write a song," Emily said. "If I find a quote I enjoy, I'll write it down and make up a theme from that."
She describes her style as country pop.
"A lot of my songs are about wanting a relationship or being in a relationship," she said. "I've only had one serious relationship in my life. It's good to have heartbreak because it writes a good song. It also helps to write songs because it helps get my feelings out."
She lists a string of big-name country music divas when she talks about her influences but that list also includes her older sister.
"I'm the youngest of five," she said. "My family isn't that musical but my 27-year-old sister writes songs, too. She used to sing me to sleep when I was little. She's a great singer and I think I kind of picked it up from her."
The Nashville trip didn't come easy. Aside from travel expenses, it cost $500 to record each song. Schultz is also a member of Gypsum Town Council and she got the town to donate some money for that in November.
"My family also donated a lot," Emily said. "I'm so grateful for all the help."
The Kingstons had been to Nashville before when Emily tried out for "American Idol" two years ago, but the recent visit was different.
"In the contests, you had one chance to sing for a couple people," said Mallie Kingston. "On this trip, we had more time to meet people - it's a very friendly place. People told us there's only two degrees of separation there, meaning almost everyone knew someone in the music business."
Emily said she knows challenges surely await but she's committed to chasing her dream.
"I know there will be hard times but this is what I want to do," she said.
Her mom said she never gives up.
"She's so diligent and has always pursued this," Mallie Kingston said.
Williams said Emily still hits him up for advice now and then, and he enjoys working with her every chance he gets.
"She tried to give me credit for success in Nashville and I told her it was her hard work that did it," he said. "She is very sweet, humble and deserving of this."

3/7/13 Miley Gets Mad
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Jessica Simpson is having a boy. --She accidentally blurted it out on last night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live". --Jess began by telling Kimmel that her second pregnancy has been much more difficult than the first. --She said, quote, "I just feel awful, I've been vomiting. The crazy thing is, I never knew a wiener could actually make me nauseous." She then caught herself and said: "Well, I guess I just told the world I'm having a boy."
There's a rumor going around that LIAM HEMSWORTH cheated on MILEY CYRUS with JANUARY JONES after the Oscars last month. And ever since then, there's been talk that their engagement is OFF. --Well, Miley hit up Twitter to deny it . . . and then she announced that she's QUITTING Twitter. But it didn't last. --She said, quote, "I am so sick of L.A. And sick of the lies that come with it. I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media. #draining" --Within a few hours, she was Tweeting again. But apparently, it's going to be ALL BUSINESS from here on out. --She said, quote, "My new music is gonna shut everyone up. Not discussing anything but my music from now on."
The "Star" tabloid says KIM KARDASHIAN has gained 65 pounds since getting pregnant, and she's REALLY sweating it. A so-called "source" says she's up to 185 pounds, she's eating and crying uncontrollably and she doesn't even like KANYE WEST to see her naked anymore. Therefore, as soon as the baby is born, she's going directly under the knife and spending millions of dollars to, quote, "get everything lifted."

Former "Playboy" skank HOLLY MADISON had a baby girl yesterday morning. This is the first child for Holly and her boyfriend, Pasquale Rotella. --The kid doesn't have a name yet. Holly said, quote, "Pasquale and I welcomed our first child, a baby girl! We haven't yet decided on a name for her but we couldn't be any more overjoyed than at this moment."
KATE MIDDLETON may have revealed that the royal heir she's carrying in her belly is a GIRL. --Yesterday, Kate visited something called the National Fishing Heritage Center. While greeting the public outside the building, someone handed Kate a white teddy bear. --And she reportedly said, quote, "Thank you, I'll take that for my d . . . for my baby." (--In other words, she almost said "DAUGHTER", but caught herself and said "baby" instead.)
Terrence Howard has a sex scene with Oprah Winfrey in the upcoming movie The Butler -- and he loved every minute of it. --In a recent interview with Movie Fanatic, Terrence said, "Oprah and I had such chemistry. To be able to make out with Oprah and to have love scenes with her and those tig ol' bitties. She's such a lovely, voluptuous woman. That was wonderful."

Tuesday, March 5, 2013
The "National Enquirer" says FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL are expecting twins. --A source says, quote, "Fergie and Josh feel like they hit the baby jackpot. They waited a long time but it's all paying off because they say they're expecting twins. They couldn't be happier."
JUSTIN BIEBER was BOOED when he took the stage last night for the first of four shows at London's O2 arena . . . because he was TWO HOURS LATE. --The show was supposed to start at 8:30, but he didn't get out there until 10:30. A lot of younger fans had to leave before the show even started. There's no word why it was delayed.
Actor-rapper Jaden Smith and reality star Kylie Jenner are reportedly dating. The 14-year-old actor and 15-year-old reality star were spotted on a lunch date in London over the weekend.

Monday, March 4, 2013
On the PBS series "Finding Your Roots", KEVIN BACON and his wife KYRA SEDGWICK found out that they're RELATED. Not, like, incest-related. They're 9th cousins once removed. --Kyra said, quote, "As long as we're not first cousins, it's fine." --Meanwhile, Kevin also found out he and BRAD PITT are 13th cousins twice removed . . . and he and PRESIDENT OBAMA are 12th cousins three times removed.
CHARLIZE THERON ballroom danced for SETH MACFARLANE at the Oscars. And that may have led to something more. Sources say they got to know each other during rehearsals, then spent a lot of time together at after-parties. --A source says, quote, "This is early, but I see a new relationship brewing."
In the new issue of "Elle" magazine, RIHANNA talks about wanting her relationship with CHRIS BROWN to "last forever." She adds, quote, "What we want [is] a great friendship that's unbreakable. Now that we're adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I'm thankful for that."
JUSTIN BIEBER booked a party at a London club to celebrate his 19th birthday. As you may know, the drinking age in the U.K. is 18. But some of Justin's entourage are still younger than that, including JADEN SMITH, who was refused entry because he's only 14. So Justin and his people left the club, and Justin later Tweeted, quote, "Worst birthday."
We all know CHARLIE SHEEN thinks he can do anything. But he might be overselling himself this time . . . because he thinks he can save LINDSAY LOHAN. --Charlie says, quote, "She clearly needs a mentor, whether she wants one or not. She can continue to hang out with her dress shredding club buddies, or turn to me for some advice from a guy who's been down the road as well as every other side trail on the journey. If she listens, she'll win. If she doesn't, that's on her." --He also wants you to know that he hasn't hit that . . . quote, "I love her, I respect her, and I've never laid a finger on her that wasn't on film. How ya like me now, America?"

Friday, March 1, 2013
Now that "Snow White and the Huntsman" director RUPERT SANDERS is single, he's free to take that affair with KRISTEN STEWART all the way. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way. --RadarOnline says Rupert has been texting and emailing Kristen, but she's not responding. A source says, quote, "Rupert's reached out to Kristen, but she doesn't want anything to do with him. --In truth, she regrets ever getting involved with Rupert, because of how much it hurt ROBERT PATTINSON and the amount of public backlash she was subjected to." --It's still not clear where Kristen stands with Robert . . . but ideally, she wants him back.
"Girls Gone Wild" founder JOE FRANCIS is placing the company under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, in order to pay off a $30 million debt he owes to the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. But he says the company remains strong financially, and it'll be, quote, "business as usual" for "Girls Gone Wild". Meanwhile, the Casino is going to keep chasing him down for the money.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has been seen out with a mystery woman lately and it is indeed his girlfriend. We don't know much about her, except that her name is Heather Milligan and they've been dating since the fall. --Oh, and also, we're pretty sure she's not his housekeeper.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have turned down several offers for their Bel Air mansion -- even though those bids would have netted them $1 million profit. --According to TMZ, the couple bought the home for $9 million at the end of January and have already been offered $10.5 million for it. But they're saying "no thanks" because they've already started re-modeling and are looking forward to moving in several months from now.

Felipe Massa has revealed that he is in talks with Lotus about replacing Kimi Raikkonen while he has also had "contact" with McLaren.
Last Tuesday, Massa revealed via Twitter that he would be leaving Ferrari at the end of this season, his eighth year with the Scuderia.
A day later Ferrari confirmed that Kimi Raikkonen would be taking Massa's race-seat.
The move could yet turn into a straight swap as Massa has revealed that he is in talks with Lotus for next season.
"We are negotiating," he told Globo Esporte.
"In my opinion the Lotus has a very competitive car, which is what I want. It is a team with a very important story in Brazil as well.
"We are having many conversations to try find a way for not only me but also Lotus to continue with a good car."
But Lotus are not the only team the 11-time grand prix winner has spoken to as there has also been "contact" with McLaren.
"I have had contact with McLaren. I can't judge... it's hard to say... with Lotus the contact has been very good."
Almost a week after the announcement, Massa is starting to get used to the thought of life without Ferrari and insists hes "not ending" his career.
"I'm much more loose, more free," he said. "I think this might be good for me.
"Of course I want a competitive car. It's not impossible. It's a change and I hope one for the better."

sign me up for the madeleines kit!ReplyDelete
but it's hard not to love the pastel melange of cupcake "papers"
I saw these in a big book store I was in, in Paris ,thought they were amazing .. not funny, just amazing :-)a brilliant idea.ReplyDelete
Too funny--when I first saw your watercolor, I thought, "how charming," and then I immediately burst out laughing, thinking: ????!!? Carol????!?!???ReplyDelete
BAKING??? too cute. Looks like fun! When we were kids, we had a box with teeny cake tins in it and a cake mix--we made cakes and they were tiny--we loved it!
I'm glad you won't let a little detail like actually baking separate you from a fantastic package!!!! Eye on the prize as always: beauty and great design!ReplyDelete
Love the painting. The French are so far ahead of us most of the times. Cool idea to have it all in a box. Now if only the box would put it together too. :))ReplyDelete
Thank you Dearest Jeanette for reminding me of my negligent baking skills - AHEM!ReplyDelete
Not all of us can make our own MARSHMALLOWS - ahem
And some of like to dream a bit you know...
Amy: not to worry. A madeleine is simply eggs, flour and butter, butter, butter. No coconut unless you live in the Tropics where only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun.
Mille Paradis: the 'cupcake' papers are actually reusable silacon cups!
Leave it to the French.
I have always been a sucker for packaging! lol!ReplyDelete
Though I must admit the only thing the inside of my oven ever sees is a chicken.
But what fun gifts!
I love the painting of the bake stuff. And it reminds me of the Klutz kits in the book store. VERY cute.ReplyDelete
Okay, I just love this post because it's purely about baking! The French do it so well, as you say. Plus, your first painting is just gorgeous! I want it!ReplyDelete
I love these and I want them all!ReplyDelete

text: Article | Social Science & Medicine | April 2014 Who Donates Their Bodies to Science? The Combined Role of Gender and Migration Status Among California Whole-body Donors Asad L. Asad, Michel Anteby and Filiz Garip The number of human cadavers available for medical research and training, as well as organ transplantation, is limited. Researchers disagree about how to increase the number of whole-body bequeathals, citing a shortage of donations from the one group perceived as most likely to donate from attitudinal survey data—educated white males over 65. This focus on survey data, however, suffers from two main limitations: First, it reveals little about individuals' actual registration or donation behavior. Second, past studies' reliance on average survey measures may have concealed variation within the donor population. To address these shortcomings, we employ cluster analysis on all whole-body donors' data from the Universities of California at Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Two donor groups emerge from the analyses: One is made of slightly younger, educated, married individuals, an overwhelming portion of whom are U.S. born and have U.S.–born parents, while the second includes mostly older, separated women with some college education, a relatively higher share of whom are foreign born and have foreign-born parents. Our results demonstrate the presence of additional donor groups within and beyond the group of educated and elderly white males previously assumed to be most likely to donate. More broadly, our results suggest how the intersectional nature of donors' demographics, in particular, gender and migration status, shapes the configuration of the donor pool, signaling new ways to possibly increase donations.

Sebastian Vettel went unchallenged in the United States GP as he raced to his record-breaking eighth successive win.
Starting from pole position, the Red Bull driver pulled ahead of Romain Grosjean into the first corner on the opening lap and it was already game over.
Behind him Grosjean hung on to a nailbiting second place after Mark Webber tried every which way to get past the Frenchman and failed. Lewis Hamilton was pushed hard for fourth place, eventually finishing ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg who duelled all the way to the line.
Race Report
The sun was in the Texas sky and the ambient temperature up at 29C with the track at 35C as the cars set off on the parade lap. Only Jean Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso had opted for hard tyres. Following penalties for Button, Gutierrez and Pic the re-arranged grid was...
Revised Grid: 1. Sebastian Vettel, 2. Mark Webber , 3. Romain Grosjean 4. Nico Hulkenberg, 5. Lewis 6. Fernando Alonso , 7. Sergio Perez , 8. Heikki Kovalainen , 9. Valtteri Bottas 10. Daniel Ricciardo, 11. Paul di Resta, 12. Nico Rosberg, 13. Felipe Massa, 14. Jean-Eric Vergne, 15. Jenson Button , 16. Adrian Sutil, 17. Pastor Maldonado, 18. Giedo van der Garde, 19. Jules Bianchi, 20. Esteban Gutierrez, 21. Max Chilton 22. Charles Pic
Last year Ferrari had broken a gearbox seal on Felipe Massa's engine to move him five places back and promoting Alonso onto the clean side of the Austin grid. This year Fernando had no such option starting from P6. As the red lights went out, both Red Bulls got a good getaway but it was Vettel who held the outside line into Turn 1 and as Webber tucked in behind , Grosjean drove outside of Vettel's line and slipped through into P2.
As Webber looked for a way back he found himself hustled out of P3 by Lewis Hamilton. Further down the grid it was a clean getaway for most of the field. Jenson Button managed to sustain more front wing damage on his car for the second race running, although not serious enough to warrant a change.
Running side by side on the long back straight Adrian Sutil made contact with Pastor Maldonado and the Force India slewed into the barriers for a substantial impact. This immediately brought out the Safety Car to recover the car and locked the positions two-thirds of the way round the opening lap.
Positions after Lap 11.Vettel, 2.Grosjean, 3.Hamilton, 4.Webber, 5.Hulkenberg, 6.Perez, 7.Alonso, 8.Bottas, 9.DiResta, 10.Ricciardo, 11.Rosberg, 12.Kovalainen, 13.Massa
Webber, Hulkenberg and Alonso starting from the even numbers and hence the dirty side of the grid, had all lost positions, while Heikki Kovalainen showed his race rustiness by slipping from P8 to P12.
Esteban Gutierrez, pitted behind the Safety Car for hard tyres and we were racing again from Lap 5. By the end of Lap 6 Vettel had already opened up a 2.4 second gap.
Maldonado's brush with Adrian Sutil hadn't come without cost and on Lap 8 he was shown the black and orange flag requiring him to come in immediately and change a front wing that was trailing on the tarmac.
There was very little overtaking in the opening phase of the race and it was Paul DiResta in P9 who after a strong start had developed his own train of Ricciardo, Rosberg, Kovalainen, Massa and Button. Even by Lap 11 there had been no passes under DRS, although Mark Webber was closing up rapidly on a surly Lewis Hamilton who was snapping at his engineers all race, either telling them off for giving him too much information or telling them off for not giving him enough.
Webber made an easy DRS pass on Hamilton Lap 13 by which time Vettel was 4.7 seconds in front of Grosjean and Grosjean was a further 5.2 in front of Webber.
Vettel set a series of three fastest laps on Laps 15, 16 and 17 to take his lead out to 7.4 seconds and we got the familiar reaction from his engineer, Rocky, who told him, "going as far as we can is more important than going as fast as we can." As if to put in a cheeky little comeback Vettel minded his manners on Lap 18 and then put in another fastest lap, a 1:43.252 on Lap 19. Poop poop.
Webber had made the first pass and Nico Rosberg showed that if a little rubber was added to the racing line then more overtaking moves could be made, passing Daniel Ricciardo on Lap 19 to take P10.
Heikki Kovalainen came in on Lap 18 to start the major round of pitstops, followed by Jenson Button on Lap 20 (of 56) in a bid to get past Felipe Massa who had been holding him up. Massa came in a lap later and was able to keep the position in front of the McLaren.
On Lap 22 Perez, DiResta, Rosberg and Ricciardo all pitted together. Perez had been struggling to keep Alonso behind him at the end of the opening stint. Bottas, showing good pace in the Williams, pitted on Lap 23, Hamilton on Lap 25 and Alonso on Lap 26. Despite Perez getting stuck behind the Gutierrez versus Vergne battle after he rejoined, Alonso was only just in front of the McLaren driver as he came back onto the circuit, the Mexican closing right up behind the Ferrari driver into Turn 1 but finding no way past. Not surprisingly.
For the first time Grosjean was significantly faster than Vettel on Lap 26 and Rocky's wise words that the tyres could fall away rapidly proved to be correct. Vettel had to come in at the end of Lap 27 - along with Nico Hulkenberg - a rare situation, Webber having run longer in the first stint. Mark pitted the following lap and then Grosjean on Lap 29.
As the cars had made the medium tyre last till almost half distance there was little question that the front runners were all going to be one-stopping.
Positions on Lap 30: 1.Vettel, 2.Grosjean 3.Webber, 4.Hamilton, 5.Hulkenberg, 6.Alonso, 7.Gutierrez, 8.Perez, 9.Bottas, 10.DiResta, 11.Kovalainen, 12.Rosberg, 13.Ricciardo, 14.Massa, 15.Button
Everyone had stopped once, but Gutierrez had stopped after only one lap and so was about to cascade down the order. Alonso had passed him on Lap 29 and on Lap 31 we had some intra-Mexican rivalry as Perez made it through to P7. Bottas would be up next.Cars were beginning to make more and more overtakes. Rosberg was past Kovalainen on Lap 31 and DiResta on Lap 33. Valtteri Bottas made a very brave overtaking move on Gutierrez on Lap 35 running side by side through the Silverstone sweeps after Turn 1 to take the place off the Sauber driver who pitted a lap later. This put Bottas into P8 and Rosberg into P9.
Felipe Massa made an unexpected pit-stop at the end of Lap 38 which released the pent up Jenson Button, who set his sights on closing the gap to Daniel Ricciardo who was now P11.
At the front, Romain Grosjean's hold on P2 had looked very tenuous after the pit-stops with Webber just 1.0 behind the Frenchman on Lap 34, but despite putting in a fastest lap on Lap 37 he wasn't able to find a way past the Lotus. Vettel had a ten-second gap at the front. This wasn't going to be an Abu Dhabi-like advantage.
There was an interesting battle developing behind the front three with Nico Hulkenberg closing the gap to Hamilton, but with Alonso closing on Hulkenberg. On Lap 40, Lewis had 1.8 seconds over Nico and he had 1.8 on Fernando Alonso. By Lap 43 that was just 0.6 to the Ferrari and on Lap 45 Alonso made the pass into Turn 1 to the great delight of the huge crowd on the hill. Next up would be Hamilton. Similar treatment?
The battles in the closing stages looked to be Webber versus Grosjean for P2, Alonso versus Hamilton for P4, Rosberg versus Bottas for P8 (though Nico had a 3.7 gap to close on Lap 47) and Button versus DiResta for P11.
Alonso got the gap to Hamilton down to 1.1 seconds on Lap 47, but then Lewis turned a corner and on Lap 48 his Sector 1 time was a 27.2 compared to Alonso's 27.6. He moved the gap out to 2.0 seconds and by Lap 50 it was 2.6 seconds.
Mark Webber was still pursuing Grosjean at less than a second back, but the Button vs DiResta battle didn't materialise after DiResta pitted for a second time on Lap 49. This meant that Jenson now had P11 and could pursue Ricciardo in P10 who had elbowed his way past DiResta with the latest of late-braking moves into Turn 1.
Grosjean set the fastest lap of the race on Lap 52, a 1:40.445 to keep Webber at bay, while it was the Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg who was suddenly gaining on Alonso again.
With his usual abandon Vettel reclaimed the fastest lap of the race on Lap 54, a 1:39.856 at which stage Button was just 0.8 behind Ricciardo (Button himself was being pursued by Vergne and Gutierrez, who was sprinting on medium tyres), and Hulkenberg was 0.8 behind Alonso.
Button made a surprise pass on Ricciardo coming out of Turn 1 on the penultimate lap, but while Hulkenberg managed to get past Alonso momentarily on the final lap taking a shallow line through Turn 1, Alonso cut back inside him after the turn and reclaimed the place. It was all action for the big crowd there.
Cameras switched back just in time to see Vettel make history and win eight races in a row in a single season, followed home by a jubilant Romain Grosjean and Mark Webber who had tried KERS at every point in the circuit to find a way past and come up short every time. Lewis Hamilton was able to finish ahead of his grid position for once in P4 and Alonso hung on to the end in P5 with Hulkenberg P6 and Perez a long way back in P7.
Valtteri Bottas hadn't been reeled in by Nico Rosberg and had actually moved away from him in the closing laps to get his first ever F1 points, with Rosberg in P9 and a Jenson Button missing a bargeboard in P10. Vergne and Gutierrez collided on the last lap with JEV looking like the guilty party.
It had been a slow-starting USGP that ended in drama behind a familiar winner and a race worthy of the large race day crowd and a superbly organised event.

Delivering Next-Generation Safe and Secure Intelligent Systems
Global aerospace and defense companies are continually challenged to deliver safe, secure, and reliable systems to satisfy complex mission-critical requirements. In addition, the demand for increased situational awareness drives a greater array of intelligent systems, from widely dispersed remote sensors to unmanned surveillance vehicles within C4ISR systems. The resulting connectivity requires increased cybersecurity and cyber warfare capabilities.
Traditional business issues around competitive advantage, cost control, and time-to-market become more difficult to manage as the deployed systems become more complex. Risk can be reduced in these critical systems by utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and open standards for greater interoperability. But system developers must also choose technology partners who can minimize risk over the life of a product to be successful in today's highly competitive marketplace—partners like Wind River®.
Customer Spotlight
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Curiosity Mars Rover
On August 6, 2012, NASA landed Curiosity, the world's most technologically advanced autonomous robotic spacecraft, in the Gale Crater on Mars. Learn how Wind River VxWorks® controls the craft's operations, from the initial launch to the "seven minutes of terror" landing, to the complex, mission-critical tasks it will perform on Mars to determine whether the planet is or has ever been capable of supporting life.
Northrop Grumman X-47B UCAS
The Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) is a key technology for the X-47B in the Navy's Unmanned Combat Air System Carrier Demonstration (UCAS-D) program. VxWorks was chosen by Northrop Grumman as the software platform for the UCAS-D program and by GE Aviation as the foundation for the common core system, the backbone of UCAS-D computers, networks, and interfacing electronics.
Business Issues
Platform consolidation has become an increasingly viable option with advancements in silicon processing power within reduced footprints and with multi-core support. Consolidation strategies have already been proven in systems based on ARINC 653. They greatly reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP), as well as provide a solid foundation for future technology refreshes.
Commercial avionics software already must comply with RTCA DO-178C /EUROCAE ED-12C, but as military systems and unmanned systems start to share commercial airspace, the demand for certification of these platforms is also increasing. At the same time, widespread cybersecurity threats from a large range of actors have led to new regulations for all connected devices. Intelligent platforms require a robust combination of system architecture and adaptability to survive.
In order to make future platforms more affordable, there is a common desire to move toward open architecture–based systems, which would deliver improved application interoperability and portability. This goal of reducing development and support costs has driven new open architecture–based standards (such as FACE™) that are now being applied to future system procurements.
Industry Focus Areas
Safety Critical Systems
An increase in the number of aircraft and the introduction of unmanned aircraft has led to rising demand for safety-certified systems. As system autonomy and connectivity increase, the single end-point system is no longer the sole critical system that needs safety evaluation—networked devices now must develop a systems approach to creating a viable safety case. Adding to this complexity, safety critical systems are now being consolidated in order to reduce the cost associated with recertification through the use of integrated modular avionics (IMA).
Mission Critical Systems
Today's command and control systems must continue to respond in sub-seconds while supporting a wider range of connectivity and functionality. Overall reduction in defense budgets, along with this demand for more functionality, is driving the move from expensive proprietary systems to open architecture–based systems with the promise of lower cost and easier technology insertion.
Today's networks are challenged to provide more capability using COTS systems. This can only be accomplished by implementing global communications standards on powerful multi-core platforms. As IPv6 becomes pervasive in military networks it is essential that systems are built robustly, with the ability to monitor and counterattack threats, while at the same time providing high bandwidth links to support situational awareness in the battle space.

The New Jersey LABhaus was built using five, factory-built modules to achieve a super tight and high performance envelope. You may be impressed to hear that the home boasts polyurethane SIP walls (R40), an insulated foundation (R13), insulation between floor levels (R19), and a roof assembly with 7″ of polyurethane foam, 5″ of blown cellulose, and 2-4″ of rigid foam (R60+). This combined with an on-demand hot water heater, an ultra-efficient heat pump and other energy efficient appliances and fixtures, make for a very low energy home. Although not yet installed, the home will be prewired and all set to accept a rooftop solar system.
The exterior is clad in a combination of synthetic stucco and fiber cement,for easy maintenance. Inside, the home features sustainably harvested hardwood floors, Kohler fixtures, Omnia steel hardware, Corian countertops, and Energy Star Jenn-Air appliances. The 2,438 sq ft, four bedroom, three bath house came in at budget of $340,000 — this equates to about $140 per square foot.
Coming in at 50-70% less than a similarly sized house on the east coast, with efficient efficient systems to lower utility costs, this home could act as a true model for creating more affordable housing.

Another great product by Haba.
I got this in the mail today as part of my daughters birthday gift. I really like the attention to detail and the irregular shapes and sizes of the potatoes. It makes them look soo real. The net is nice too and looks quite durable. I think I will be purchasing another one of these so she has 10 potatoes....the 5 look a little lost in the bag (hence the 4 star rating).
