As women, especially mothers, we tend to think most about our family and especially our children and therefore often put our desires and wishes on the "back burner."
After childbirth it has been often said that the body never really ever goes back to the way it was and if you have multiple childbirths then the stretches and changes get even more challenging over time,
If you feel that your well being is getting lost in your efforts to be the great mother then it may be time to start thinking about how you can provide a positive example to your family by considering a "Mommy Makeover." There are now surgical options to reverse the unwanted effects of childbearing and age. Think about how happy and pleased your family will feel if you have a positive self image and look the best you can for them and for yourself,
While time is a precious commodity for all of us these days, stop and think about how much your beauty and health are worth to you. Would you be able to accomplish more with a fresh perspective and younger feel?
IWe recommend that you consider setting up an personalized appointment with Dr. John Taylor to determine if a cosmetic surgery procedure now called a "mommy makeover" can enhance your body appearance.
The "mommy makeover usually includes a breast lift, liposuction and tummy tuck. When you meet with Dr. Taylor he can determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. These procedures, which can dramatically improve how you look and feel, are easier to fit into your schedule and your budget than you may think. Dr. Taylor personalizes your treatment using modern techniques to minimize pain and recovery time so that you get great results and can quickly return to your family and your life.

Cornerback cancels planned visit to Steelers. Terry McCormick
The Houston Texans have signed the suddenly in-demand Stanford Routt after working him out on Tuesday, per the Houston Chronicle.
The Texans are thin at cornerback, having Brice McCain, Jonathan Joseph and Alan Ball all out with injuries.
Routt was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the off-season, but was released a few weeks ago and cleared waivers.
Routt had planned to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers later today, but when the tryout with the Texans ended with the club wanting to sign him, he canceled that flight to stay in Houston.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
1969, UK/USA, Peter Hunt
It is with some caution that I admit that On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favourite Bond film, one which I have seen and enjoyed more times than I care to mention. It's been shockingly underrated for the simple reason of casting, and its merits took time to become apparent. In terms of set-pieces, characterisation and tension, it is certainly up there with the very best Connery films, and the final third of the film is so good that it transcends genre and shows how action can become an art in itself. I suppose we should get this over with sooner rather than later. I like George Lazenby as Bond and I can't agree with the antagonism towards him. Certainly, his delivery of the dialogue is slightly wooden in places, revealing the fact that he wasn't trained as an actor, but his physical presence is fine and he throws himself into the violent action with a convincing relish that matches, and maybe outdoes, Sean Connery in From Russia With Love. Lazenby seems to relax into the character, and he is genuinely effective in the incredibly difficult final scene, which more experienced actors might have found difficult to execute with as much poignancy. It's a shame that he didn't make another Bond film as he would certainly have been more impressive having more experience in film acting - and judging by Connery's lazy non-performance in Diamonds Are Forever, it might have been better if Lazenby had done it instead. Perhaps I could put it best by saying that it's refreshing to have a Bond who is Bond and not the actor playing him - something which hadn't happened since Dr No and rarely happened again.
However, leaving the casting of Bond aside, the film is a triumph. The plot is carefully developed and mad enough to be entertaining without leaving the realms of possibility. Blofeld (Savalas), head of SPECTRE, has retired to his mountain top complex in Switzerland - following the failure of his plan to start World War Three - and has developed an obsession with how he will be judged by history. He develops a scheme to render the human race sterile. His price ? That he should be recognised as being of genuine noble blood and that he should receive a pardon for all his past crimes. All this is, to my mind, much more interesting and convincing than the usual "world domination" plot, and rounds out Blofeld's character to satisfying effect. Telly Savalas's urbane and slightly sinister performance is just right for this reading of the character. Bond penetrates Blofeld's domain in disguise and discovers that the plan involves the use of twelve beautiful girls who have been hypnotised to obey Blofeld's wishes. Meanwhile, our hero falls in love with Tracy Di Vicenzo (Rigg), a gangster's daughter. These two plots come together rather well around the middle of the film, and the result is one of the most downbeat endings ever to adorn a Bond movie.
The pace of the film is leisurely for the first ninety minutes or so, due to Peter Hunt's interesting decision to develop the characters rather than diving straight into action. There are some good fist fights and a scene of excellent spycraft, but the focus is on character. This allows Diana Rigg to create a heroine who is genuinely three dimensional; rich, spoilt and capricious, but also vulnerable and needy. Bond is also developed rather more than in the previous two films - the scene where he confronts "M" with his resignation is a small gem, suggesting that being the world's greatest secret agent must result in a considerable expansion of the ego. There's some good, quiet scenes in the film, something rare in the series. I like the subtle flashback on the window as Bond stares out after Tracy has been captured by SPECTRE. There's also a lovely moment towards the end, when Bond tosses his hat at Moneypenny as if it were a bride's bouquet. As for the final moments, which I won't reveal, they represent a real chance to deepen Bond's character - a chance which was thrown away by the producers who went on to turn him back into a comic strip superhero in the simplistic, sadistically camp Diamonds Are Forever.
However, enjoyable as the first two thirds of the film are, they merely raise the curtain for the blazing action of the final forty five minutes which represents the peak of the Bond series and the zenith of Sixties action cinema; incredible ski action, much repeated but never bettered; a pulse-pounding stock car sequence; more skiing action; a cracking set of explosions; and finally, best of all, the knuckle-whitening bobsleigh chase which is my personal nomination for the finest action scene in the entire series. The fantastic look of these scenes is a tribute to the second unit, especially the work of Johnny Jordan who filmed while dangling from a helicopter. All of the action seems tougher than in the other Bond movies, partly because the punches have been overdubbed to give them more impact , and partly because the editing is deliberately faster than usual.
The film looks stunning from start to finish, thanks to the work of the cinematographer Michael Reed - that shot of the helicopters against the sunrise is glorious. It has a more realistic feel than other films in the series, largely due to the lack of Ken Adam's grandiose designs, and partly because there's a distinct absence of gadgets. I rather like this in context - just as I like the abundance of silly gadgets in the very different context of Moonraker - and it helps the film to have a grounding in everyday life which is important for the plot and for this different depiction of Bond. John Barry also rises to the occasion with a gritty and versatile music score. In fact, it's the moments where the film tries to be self-consciously clever that work least well. Notoriously, that opening scene of Bond on the beach would be fine if it weren't for the final line where Lazenby addresses the audience with "This never happened to the other fellow". That's just plain wrong, because as far as the plot is concerned he _is_ the other fellow, and it just draws attention to the artificiality of the film. In another Bond film, this would work, but OHMSS tries strenuously to be emotionally grounded in reality and therefore can't carry off this sort of camp effect. Interestingly, an attempt is then made to link to the past films directly, with a fantastic Maurice Binder title sequence which incorporates images of an hour glass and a clock going backwards along with scenes from the previous Bond films.
Overall, however, I think the film is excellent. It is as close to the spirit of original novels as the series has ever managed and deserves the reappraisal that it has begun to receive. Lazenby isn't always ideal, but nor is he as bad as has been claimed, and he's surrounded by top-class professionalism which covers over any cracks in the central performance.

The Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special starts off life as a marriage between a Strat and a 69 thinline Telecaster, but that's just the start! Then Fender threw some P90s at it and because it didn't look quite off the wall enough a Jag tremolo to boot! The result is a mad barking dog of a guitar with grit by the bucketload, cascading overtones of rich harmonics and did we mention it looks ace!? From surf to rock to punk and back the Offset Special is going to hit some powerful notes!
Here's What Fender Say about the Pawn Shop Mustang Special
Pawn Shop Series guitars are inspired by the more eccentric Fender creations of the mid-'60s to mid-'70s, which sometimes found their way to the outside world and into the more esoteric pages of Fender history. Crafted for thoroughly modern sound and quality, they present a creative alchemy of diverse Fender elements. New for 2012, the Pawn Shop Series introduces an unconventional new assortment of "guitars that never were but should have been." The Pawn Shop Offset Special guitar is one of Fender's most offbeat designs ever. Features include a semi-hollow double cutaway body with an f hole and sleek offset waist, a phenomenal-sounding pair of large JZHB humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece. This is a guitar from the past and the future.

Score Big with Your Little Man's Decor
To most, the colors of their favorite sports team runs through their blood—and perhaps in their decor too! Sports enthusiasm goes a long way for all of its fans; just walk into your favorite local baby boutique, and the "littlest sports fan" section is NOT so little!
When my son was ready for his big boy room, I made the mistake of asking what kind of room he wanted. My choices were sports or batman. I went with sports (thinking the batman obsession could be short lived), and instead of making the entire room sports obsessed, I brought it in with color, vintage wall decor and a few simple accessories. To my then three-year-old, it was the perfect sports big boy room. Score.
I love how this mom's all-star birthday party focused more on the theme of sports and less on a particular team. The cookies and cake pops are almost too cute to eat, and the orange and green color scheme is very team neutral!
The designer of A Room with a View added in the parents' love of sports by using the colors of their favorite teams as accent colors. This is a nice, subtle way to incorporate sports into your child's nursery.
Hudson's Vintage University Nursery is a throwback to his parents' alma mater. The dark furniture creates a bold contrast against the creamy walls, and I love how the little owls symbolize the dad's fraternity and I'm sure many fun memories!
There are so many ways to bring in your favorite sports and team colors—get creative and most importantly, make it your own! Your little star will love it.
http://www.facebook.com/kimmy.doraine Kimmy Doraine
Hudson's Vintage University Nursery is just perfect! I love the warm colors and the parents' homage to their alma mater.
http://www.facebook.com/alison.mar.7 Alison Mar
A bit confused… When you said you made a mistake by asking your boy what theme he wanted, did you mean that he told you he wanted the batman theme but that you gave him the sporty one instead?
http://www.facebook.com/alison.mar.7 Alison Mar
I agree! The room is so well thought of and every detail just fits right in there.
I think a sporty room will always be perfect for boys. They are such active and bouncy creatures, and balls and other sporty stuff will always be appropriate and fitting.
http://www.facebook.com/jacquiline.bertny Jacquiline Bertny
Yes, Kimmy, I agree. I like this room very much too. I would love to pay tribute to my university, too, but I sorta don't like the university color.
Christina Pellett
I love this post! When we found out we were having a boy, my husband immediately requested a baseball-themed nursery, Yankees in particular. Not being a fan at all, I was a little hesitant, but I got really into it using the same ideas you talked about — bringing the Yankees in through color rather than posters and paraphernalia, and keeping it a little more mature rather than "bears playing baseball" so that he wouldn't grow out of it in a year. I have some photos on my blog, it's still a work in progress but we're really excited about it! http://talkandsleep.wordpress.com/2012/10/31/nursery-nesting/

Study: Only 10 Percent of Users Update Their Facebook Status; Rest Are Too Busy Stalking
It doesn't look like a lot of you are going to update your status celebrating Facebook's birthday. A new survey from Pew Research discovered that only ten percent of its 1.2 billion users change their status daily while just four percent do it more than once a day.
With only a few Faebook users sharing their annoying life announcements, it means that the social network is a one-way conversation "buoyed by Internet voyeurs who relish the ability to document their lives with their friends or the public," writes the WSJ. Read More

No witnesses saw the gruesome end of a road-rage clash between Scottsdale lawyer David Appleton and ex-rodeo cowboy Paul "Tom" Pearson in the dark parking lot of a CVS Pharmacy on the evening of November 10, 2011.
As Appleton tells it, speaking publicly for the first time about the incident, the "moment of truth" came as he flailed against the seat belt of his blue Toyota FJ Cruiser, his neck firmly in the grasp of the bigger man reaching through the driver's-side window with his left hand.
"He used an expert chokehold," says Appleton, now 61. "He had big hands, and I'm a little guy . . . His middle finger was on my right carotid [artery], and his thumb was on my left carotid."
The lawyer says he tried to peel the viselike grip off his neck with one hand, breaking off part of the fingernail of his pinky. It was the only injury he suffered in the fight with Pearson, a 50-year-old family man with a wife and three daughters who was co-owner of a Phoenix auto-parts store.
At that fateful moment, each man had his other hand occupied.
Through the whole exchange, Pearson held his phone, his cousin in Wyoming listening on the other end.
Just below the Toyota's window, Appleton gripped his five-shot double-action .38-caliber Smith & Wesson "Chief" revolver. He'd taken it from the glove box as the two exchanged words on Pima Road in North Scottsdale. Then, before Pearson stormed up to the Cruiser's window, Appleton says, he "transferred" the gun from his right to left hand and kept it "hidden" from Pearson's view.
"When he first ran up and started abusing me, he said, 'You don't have a gun, do you?' I didn't say anything. You never reveal you've got a gun." That's what he was taught in a firearms class he'd taken years ago.
The incident began after a routine day in the life of the 36-year defense attorney. He visited a client in jail. Went to court. Met some friends at Sweet Tomatoes for dinner, where he consumed no alcoholic beverages. Driving north on Pima Road on his way home, he says, Pearson, in his silver Honda Ridgeline, cut him off and taunted him at a stoplight. They exchanged obscenities.
It's unclear why the two men became so angry at each other. But a touch of road rage was nothing unusual for Appleton, who'd called 911 on two separate occasions earlier that year to report altercations with other drivers. Still, there's no doubt that Pearson played a role in what happened next.
When the light turned green, Pearson began tailgating Appleton and followed him for more than two miles, the attorney says.
Pearson lived in the Los Gatos subdivision off Pima Road and was on his way home from work at the auto-parts store. As they continued north, the two road-ragers passed the light for the Los Gatos turnoff. It's clear that the former professional rodeo rider simply could've turned left at that light and gone home. But he tailed Appleton up the road a little farther to the CVS, where Appleton turned in.
The two vehicles stopped, and Pearson got out of his Honda and approached Appleton's Toyota. He grabbed the lawyer's wrist, but Appleton says he was able to break free. Then, according to the lawyer, Pearson used the clamp-hold on his neck.
Appleton says he realized the time had come to act — or die.
"I'm getting lightheaded. I'm starting to lose consciousness," Appleton says. "And so I displayed the gun."
He raised his weapon. Pearson, he says, only "squeezed harder."
He says Pearson told him in a strangely even voice, "Don't shoot me with that gun." He says Pearson still was holding his neck.
The lawyer, a self-described marksman, says he aimed for what he thought was a non-fatal shot to his attacker's abdomen. But the bullet he fired severed Pearson's spine.
Pearson didn't let go immediately, Appleton says, causing him to wonder for a brief moment whether he'd need to fire again. Then, Pearson staggered backward and collapsed to the ground. Seconds later, the lawyer called 911 to report that he'd shot a man. A few minutes after that, police had Appleton on his knees at gunpoint.
Except for details like the 911 call, most of this information comes from just one source — Appleton. Pearson's cousin in Wyoming heard yelling and heard Pearson say, "Don't shoot me with that gun," but not much else. The pharmacy didn't have security cameras outside. Pearson was alive but unresponsive when help arrived minutes later. He was rushed to Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak Hospital, where he was pronounced dead just after 8 p.m.
Some evidence of a struggle was found, a Scottsdale police report shows:
The broken nail on Appleton's little finger. A few popped buttons on his shirt, two of which still were in the Toyota (Appleton says a third fell outside when he opened the door after the shooting). Blood and gunshot residue were discovered on the Toyota's window frame, and the driver's-side door mirror was pushed inward and marked with a faint imprint of the fabric of Pearson's shirt.

Yes,justice where is it .I like to know too
I feel if a story is gonna be told that the story should be told the truth , not get a story then add or take away or lie about it ,or word it the way it sounds better to them. Wow ! Not even tryin to make a point that an innocent man ,a good ,caring man was shot and killed by don for no reason, and looks like he's getting away with murder not only the fact that he murdered a man, but held a gun threathened to shoot the girlfriend if she didn't turn the car off ,when only she wanted to take him to the hospital "TO SAVE HIS LIVE" why wasn't that mentioned ? There was no reason for Daniel Morales to have his life taken , an altercation ,yes which was started by an evil minded monster Don Purse Jr. he stopped us from leaving quietly and blocked us off Daniel put the car in park got out walked over to where Don was sitting with his truck door opened with his mirror running ,at that , they were struggling with the gun as I got out of the car passed the driver door that daniel left open I seen daniel left elbow hit sons right hand that he held the gun ,on shot fired missed Danny I crossed tried to scream please don't shoot him , but I couldn't no mattered how hard I tried to say it when I saw don bring the gun put it to Danny stomach Don Purse Jr. Shot and killed Danny . The truth there it is ..why hasn't any charges been brought against let alone not even incarcerated ?
So, where's the justification to believe, that, a lieyer, who lies, cheats and steals, for a "pro-fession," is, telling the truth; especially, given his track record, of, previous, roadrages...??? I do notice, the comments, about believing the lieyer, have, dried up, but, I'll bet, the DA, will still, aid and abet the, ,roadrager. Maybe, with lieyers, spinning their tales, they can just, shoot anybody, who disagrees with them. Then we won't need courts, and, juries, and, of course; brain dead judges.. . After all, then, we'll only need the lieyers' word, for, population control. Also, where's the picture of the lieyer ??? So, what are you, men, or, mice; squeek up..???... Edgar...
It was OK for Cordell Jude to sit in a car and shoot someone because he is black.
Where are the many other, comments...??? Edgrrr...

*** Gun Coward Shoots Teenage Girl Seeking Help ***
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. -- It was shortly before 1 a.m. Nov. 2 and Renisha McBride was involved in an accident with a parked vehicle in Detroit.
More than two hours later and six blocks away, she was shot in the face by a man who told police he thought someone was breaking into his Dearborn Heights home. The 54-year-old homeowner, according to police, said his 12-gauge shotgun discharged accidentally.
Cowards Shoot First.
The legality of "loaded" guns, combined with the screwy burden of proof provisions seen to be why this goes over the edge. It's a recipe for carnage, given the attitudes and emotional state of most of the people on the roads these days. If it's illegal to have the gun in your car loaded, it will cut down on this. People will still do it, but it will discourage much of it. When there's no time to load the firearm, fewer of these confrontations will end in death for one of the combatants.
loaded firearms in vehicles was strict prohibited when I lived in Wyoming, almost a more ardent gun culture than ours. (It may be legal now, I have no Idea.) Almost all of the folks I knew were armed, but frowned on this almost as much as they frowned on firing across a deserted highway, which, surprisingly, was held in great contempt.
The instant you stick your hand into the car of another person, you have violated the personal space of that person. It is no different than a home invasion. Pearson committed suicide.
More American Gun MADNESS!
And, if, it was not the intent of the lieyer, to play, judge and, jury, he would have had a Smith and Wesson sticker on his car window, and, had the window, rolled up... and, waved his gun, around, to show, that, HE COULD DEFEND HIMSELF, SO, IF, BEING A LIEYER, ABOVE THE LAW, WAS NOT, HIS INTENT, THEN, WHY DID HE CONTINUE, GOADING THE GUY, IF NOT, BECAUSE OF HIS OBVIOUS, INTENT; AS IN, THE FACTS, SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES; PROOF OF WHICH, COULD BE DETERMINED, AT LEAST AS TO INTENT TO COVER UP, LIEYER, CULPABILITY... AND, THAT, REQUIRES NO PSYCHIC, REMOTE VIEWING. DNA, SHOULD, PROVE, WHO, BROKE A FINGERNAIL, AND, WHO, TORE AT THE SHIRT; TO, IN MY ESTIMATE, BASED UPON THE LIZARDS AT LAW, CLUB, COVERING FOR, ONE OF THEIR CHAMELEONS, show, that, if, the lieyer, staged his own defense, by breaking his own nail, and, tore at his own shirt; that, of, his intent, by his own, coverup, as to his motive, or, not... No investigation, when techniqwues, exist, tacitly proves, that the lieyers, are above the law, and, the hell with us; to which, I take serious exception; for, I believe we should kill, all the lieyers; and, in any such soap operas, automatically, deem the lieyer, to be the criminal; who, just like us, is, guilty, until, proven, otherwise... AND, AS TO THE SNIDE REMARK, THAT i MUST THINK, i'M PSYCHIC; HARDLY, WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH FACTS TO WARRANT, AN INVESTIGATION; go ahead, and, add up the answers, opf the "psychics." I say, the lieyer, deliberately goaded the man, with, intent, to do, what, got done, and, that, homicidal, moron, is, no posterchild, for, our, Second Amendment... and, should be tried, in a court of law, if, such a court, can be found... Edgrrr...
I think the bottom line here is that had a gun not been involved there might have been a fistfight but chances are nobody would have died. We know by his record that Appleton was prone to road rage. He might have been a little meeker, a little less aggressive behind the wheel had he not been armed. He might not have pulled over and everyone gets home for dinner. Road rage is a bad idea but it's a constant in todays frazzled America. In a car we're semi anonymous, which leads to an inflated sense of power and ego in some of us. But you never know who you're dealing with when you flip someone the bird. I'm not suggesting victimhood here, just common sense.
The years are taking a toll on my memory, but I think I might've shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
Here in Florida, you reach into an occupied vehicle and assault the driver/occupant you commit a felony assault, which at least here is defendable by the use of deadly force...CASE CLOSED!
At least get your facts straight about Trayvon Martin. It was not Arizona ice tea, it was Arizona watermelon juice drink & Skittles, which when combined with cough syrup make a ghetto drug concoction known as DXM. As for Trayvon's attack on Zimmerman, the testimony on the stand by his friend Rachael Jeantel, who was on the phone with him at the time, tells us all we need to know. She told him to go inside his dad's place he was standing outside of, but he doubled back because he believed he was going to jump from behind & attack an unarmed gay man, AKA "creepy asscracker". You know that an asscracker is a gay man, don't you?
@_McShyster_ Nervous folks should not have hair trigger, guns. The hair and, trigger, belongs on and in your head... Edgrrr...
@_McShyster_ Why did she leave the scene twice after people called 911? What was she doing for 2 hours after the accident?
@drdarrow All homes and cars should have, decals, that, the owners, belong to the "Russian Roulette, Club," so that, deathwishers, picking fights, can guess, which house, or, car, carries the bullet, with their name on it... That should, knock off the roadragers... Edgrrr... Hard to believe that, gunshops, are not, selling such, placards... and, decals... Great, advertising... Walther, PPKS Club...
@drdarrow Thanks for writing. I decided to look up the info about Wyoming: It appears that Wyoming now has the same concealed-carry law as Arizona, meaning basically any law-abiding adult can carry a loaded handgun concealed (including in a vehicle). http://www.wyomingnews.com/articles/2011/06/29/news/19local_06-29-11.txt
There are hundreds of thousands of responsible gun owners driving with loaded guns every day. There are a few crazy people who shoot people for no reason, and they are almost entirely from that same group that would ignore the law, but there are statistically MORE people who avoid becoming victims because they have the legal means to protect themselves. The police cannot, and legally have no responsibility to, protect you from violent criminals. They take the report and try to catch the bad guy so he won't do it again.
We know nothing, and, are expected to take a lieyers' word, for, it ??? What turnip truck did you, fall, out of ??? There's no way, the killer, would get free, of a wrist hold, by, a rodeo, rider. Have you seen them, hang onto the reins, with, just one, hand, atop a bucking, 2,000 pound, bull ??? And, you believe, the lieyers' alibi; considering, his subliminal confession, as to how big, the hand was, that, spanned his neck, allegedly; another, lie, as evidenced, by, the cop, who stated, there were, no marks, on the lieyers' neck... what, about, marks, on his wrists, from the steel grip, of a rodeo rider...??? Then, there's your flaky D.A. who conceals, exculpatory evidence, as well as, damning, evidence, to, get to preconcieved, results; laundering, lieyers' above the law, criminalities... and, ditto, brain dead judges, without, whose, complicities, laws, would not be twisted, and, juries, wouldn't be stacked, to, arrive at prejudicial, conclusions... slam dunks, even, before, any trials... Who needs a court of law, when lieyers, can, investigate, themselves...??? Edgrrr...
@olsonandko Eating too many turnips ??? personal space, did not exist, with an invitational, open window, and, a goading, lieyer, salivating, over, getting to murder, someone, in cold blood; after, setting up the soap opera, in the first place; as proven, by the fact, that, the deceased, could, have turned off, ... Surely, others, who've been goaded, by that lieyer, have come forward, with, their, experiences, with the killer, but, of course, there'll be no guarantee, that organized crime at law, wouldn't conceal, that... Edgrrr... And, how, would the deceased, grab the guys wrist, unless, the arm was extended, and, not, in his lap ??? Edgrrr...
@McShyster at least we stand a chance against a determined criminal.
@edgarlongenecker you completely ruined the comments section of this tripe of an article. You obviously don't make a living doing something that requires minimally competent reading or composition skills.
@edgarlongenecker I don't think you have enough commas in your post. Why don't you add a few more for good measure? lmao
@MGM5 No,,,, if ,,, there had not been a gun involved, pencilneck, wouldn't, have incited the guy to, riot... in the first place... Why, has the victims picture been posted, whi;le, the lieyers' picture, has been conceal;ed; guilty conscience; as if, lieyers, have a conscience...??? Edgrrr... Too bad, the thought police, let lieyers, carry guns,
@tom_stratford If, in point of fact, the guy, actually, did, what, youse guys, accept, as, gospel, coming from a lieyer, no less, and, of, course, that returns, this soapopera, back, to, the need for a, competent, investigation, as, I, previously, stated; especially, considering, thsat, as the cop, noted, there was no, neck marks, to, verify, the lieyers' story... No mention, of course, ditto, on the mans' wrist, and, DNA results, on, the socalled, grabbed, and, pulled, shirt, and, of course, the guys,' DNA, on the fingernail, and, where, the fingernail, gouged the guy, hard, enough, to, break off, the nail,,, and, draw, the guys' blood; or,,, not...... Competent, forensics, should, piece together, this, cold blooded, murder,,,, in,,,, Arizona... Edgrrr... Now, whine about, punkchewation.... to, evade, the, facts; concealed, by, the bar association, laundry, of/for, lizards at law; above the law....
@tom_stratford Negative.... Force, with, equal, force... which, had the lieyer, waved his gun to show, that, he had intent to goad the guy, and, was ready to do, mayhem, then, of course, the guy, would have backed off, or, brandished his own gun, if, he had one; and, while that wouldn't have been, all that, socially desirable, it, would have been an equal match; not, a cold blooded, lieyer, execution; as evidenced, by the concealmentv of the gun, until, preconceived, parameters, were, set up, by the lieyer, who, did what he did, because, he, orchestrated, all of it, and, had a gun, with which to get hiis sleazy ass, out of the sling, he set up for his victim; whom, he killed, in cold blood; when, with force, meeting force; without, his attitude, he could have fired, if need be, into the offending arm, instead of a center body, intent to kill, shot... About twenty years, in the joint, will be, appropriate, considering, he'd probably, only have to do, a month or, two, before, the guys, paroled, him......... Edgar...
@speedbaser I appreciate your comments, and it's true that I erred by saying it was "iced tea." It turns out that my mistake on that touched one of the third rails in the Trayvon case. This morning we published a blog post that covers the mistake and how at least one firearms activist views the news media's coverage of that case: http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2013/11/_the_active_thc_was.php
@speedbaser Come on; who cares, if, it was panther piss, he was drinking, when jumped, and, the buttwrenching, analysis, are, a lame excuse, for, goading, with, intent to kill, and, contradicts, any danger, to Zimmerman;... The truth be known that, govern mentals, "letting," murder, in our streets, is for the greater, bad, of, outlawing, the Second Amendment... upon which, all rights, will, fall... Edgrrr...
Jared Laughner was a "law-abiding" gun owner ...
... right up to the moment he pulled the trigger.
FYI, I have to stop reading your rants as soon as I come to the invented word "lieyer", which you seem to include near the beginning of each message. If you want to communicate, learn to spell at a 3rd grade level.
@sonick55 @McShyster Unless, the determined, criminal, is, the one with the gun; and, the other person, has none... Edgar....
@sonick55 @McShyster Lieyers, are determined criminals, and, this one is, getting away with, cold blooded, murder... thanks, to, hiding behind the Second amendment... Edgrrr
@marmy @edgarlongenecker Smarmy, "tripe of an article," you claim, plus, contradictorially, enough, I've ruined, so, what, are you whining, about ??? If, it's tripe, why shouldn't it be ruined ? And, since your evasion, is, tripe, it's great that this site, prints, comments, like mine, to, see to it that, evasions, regarding, lieyer, doublespeak, doesn't erode, due process, by, convoluting, the English language, to make lizards at law, appear credible, with, such limited, and, minimally, competent reading, or, composition, skills; as such; your, confession, of, lieyer, antics at law... Hereafter, try not to define, anything, by lieyer, doubletalk; that, only, shows, your, ignorance, and, contempt, for, the rule of, law... which, apply to, lieyers, trying to get away, with, murder,; evaded, because, the likes of you, pander to lizards at law, unconcerned, that a real person, just got, executed, and, boot lickers, like yourself, opt, to, negate the facts, yet, to be, determined, by, adequate, forensics, therefore, it is your delusion that this site, is, tripe,as, this, site, even lets' people like you, sit, in, judgement.... and, smarmy comments, like yours, do not change the facts; which, we, only, have, a lizard at laws' word, for; and, of, course those who haven't yet, learned that lieyers, lie, for a living; duping, the likes, of, those, smarmy guys... as proven, when, their lips are moving... Edgrrr...
@lpnerd @edgarlongenecker You pee,,,,,,, nerd,,,, howz that,,,,, now, don't waste them; I, bought them,,,,,, alll,,,,,,...Edgar....
@edgarlongenecker @tom_stratford Do note, the people, have, not, spoken, and, the lizards at law, can, chalk up another, one, for the at law, cabal...
@edgarlongenecker @tom_stratford There is no requirement for "equal" force.
@edgarlongenecker @tom_stratford Edgar, you, need, to, learn, how, to, punctuate....
@ray.stern @speedbaser
The case got more complicated once more facts came out that were related to why TM wasn't in jail.
Then there was the attempted frame up of GZ by prosecutor Angela Corey, trying to destroy evidence that would have resulted in the trial never happening. At least the whistle blower had the morals to report her, & the grand jury had enough sense to indict her.
@edgarlongenecker @speedbaser Seriously, I have no idea what you were trying to get across. It's just a long & rambling sentence.
@valleynative @edgarlongenecker And, you are so compelled, because the automatic pilot, in your head, doesn't like, my freedom of speech, and, you, being such a prejudicial, blueblood, can't lower your sleazy self, to, stay on point, regarding the cold blooded murder, whose duisposition, I, find fault with, and, you're too regal, to lower yourself, to, address; as, opposed to, whining, about, being, so compelled to stop reading....because, you don't like, my interpretation of, lizards at law; as in, lieyers...??? Good for you, you really should get your sleazy ass, off, of it, and, go get a job.... and, fyi, all, words, are, invented; especially, all those, defining, pinheads, not, unlike yourself.. When you get past your third grade, maybe, a lieyer, execution, in our streets, will be of some concern, and, be more important, than, your opinion... Edgrrr... If, you stop reading my rants, when you read, lieyer, which, I include, near the beginning, of each, message, how, then, do you identify, the message as a rant ? You must be another, "society," blueblood, inbred, misfit, to, be, so privileged, that, you can pass on any writing, after, admitting that, you "have to," stop reading it... whut's yer name; Peeloosely....??? Grrr...
mmmm, not so much really. I can see how it would seem so. Just like anything you are well familiar with, it's like putting your wallet in your pocket or your watch on your wrist. Sure, it comes with special safety rules, but those become reflexive as well. I live from the heart, i escaped anxiety and ego long ago :)
@olsonandko @edgarlongenecker @tom_stratford The lieyer, knew that, if, it's so, and, goaded the guy, with, intent to kill; as you claim; within, the law... while.... concealing, his gun, until, he excercised, the idea, that, there's no equal force, requirement...in, Arizona.... Don't pat, anybody, on the shoulder, in Arizona, or, try to defend yourself, in Arizona.... He could have shot him in the arm, leg, or, shoulder, or, instead, of , that, just, brandished, a weapon; that is, if, he didn't have intent to goad the guy, so, he could commit, murder, and, according to your explanation; get away with, it... The facts, speak for themselves... from, the results, back down, to, the intent.... Fry the lieyer, for his, knowledge of, the law; there, in, Arizona.... while, Arizona, is trying to murder, Jodi Arias, for, allegedly. defending, herself; making, for sure, no equal protection, under the law, in, Arizona... And, if, the lieyer, had, no such, intent, after goading the guy, why, did, he, lead him, to, wherever [his own house], and, stop, with, his window, down; inviting, an enraged, person, he was guilty, of, programming, if, he had, no, such, intent... so, as, to, commit, murder... ??? Knowledge, of, the law, is, no, excuse....anymore, than, ignorance,of, the law, is... According to, your, observation, those who know, the law, can, commit, murder... in... Arizona.... Tell that to the dead mans' family, and, friends, just before, the, lieyer, gets, a pat on the bac\k... Edgrrr...
@lpnerd @edgarlongenecker @tom_stratford You pee nerd... you need to wade through the comma, pauses, to get to the message, which, you've, evaded... because,,,, you have nothing intelligent,,,,, to,,, say... Edgrrr...
@speedbaser @edgarlongenecker What's serious about you having no idea ??? Edgrrr... within the long and rambling,sentence, a real person, without, your bias, will, have an idea...

A Personal Concierge: Coming Soon to Your Phone
Ed Hayward of Boston College reports, "Say au revoir to the concierge. The proliferation of technology focused on finding the best tickets, the hottest restaurants or the next flight out of town may mean it's time to bid adieu to the concierge and other traditional service information gatekeepers, according to new research. Face-to-face interactions with front desk clerks and concierges are not essential for personalized service, and increasingly these encounters are being substituted with Smartphone apps and other automated service systems, according to a study in the current edition of the Journal of Service Research. Business travelers who frequent the same hotels time and again may develop personal relationships with certain concierges over time, but a 'smart digital assistant' app can provide consistent personalized recommendations for every customer, every time, no matter where they are, the researchers report."

A Question on The Funeral Prayer
Asalamu alaykum,
Asalamaleykum sheikh Webb, i have something that i need help. I don't have your email that is why i decided to write here.
I reside in US, i have a question concern praying for someone who died but he/she died in other countries (not in US), under Islam can we pray(offer Janazah) here in US while the body is in another country?
Shukuran shekh, inshallah i hope we will get the best out of it.
The Answer:
Asalamu alaykum,
I received your question and would like to say that I share your concern and pray for you in your loss. I ask Allah to replace this loss with what is better, grant you light and forgive the deceased.
Secondly, I advise you to wait until you are able to visit the dead's grave and pray on him/her there. The Prophet [May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him] prayed the absentee prayer for the Ethiopian king "Najashi" who died in a place where no one was able to pray on him. Thus, if one dies and is prayed upon, he does not meet this condition.
If the Prophet [May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him] missed the congregational funeral prayer of a person, he would visit the grave of the dead and pray for him/her there. This was done in the case of the woman who used to clean his mosque and died. When the Prophet [May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him] was told of her death, he went to her grave and prayed on her. In the meantime, I encourage you to pray for the deceased and seek forgiveness for him/her.
I'm aware of a difference of opinion on this issue and hope that this answer will not be used to attack, disrupt or create problems with others. Imams may differ with this answer, and I certainly respect their contentions with respect and admiration.
Allah knows best
2 Comments
Asalamu alaykum,
Thanks a lot shekh Suhaib. I hope other scholar will give there opinions concern this issue.
I am looking forward to see you in Houston Inshallah.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi,
As we all know the Prophet (saws) prayed the absentee prayer upon Najashee and there is a consensus on the authenticity of this event. This proves that it is legislated. The issue which scholars have differed over is that of why the Prophet (saws) prayed on him. The Hanafiyyah and Malikiyyah said that that was from the special charactersitics of the Propeht (saws) and thus not legislated for anyone else after that. Thier strongest opinion is that it has not been narrated that the Prophet (saws) prayed on anyone else who was absent. The rest of the the Shafiiyah and Hanabilah have a strong response to this which is that there has to be an authentic text indicating something to be from the special characteristics of the Prophet (saws) and without that text we are generally commanded to follow the Prophet (saws) who was sent as our example. This group made no difference between if the person had been prayed upon or not and accepted the generality of the najashi story and stated that their is no indication of restrianing the ruling upon those who weren't prayed upon.
So now your saying so where did Shaikh Suhaib get his opinion? Well, I would say he has a well enough background to look at the texts and tell you, but he is likely impressed with the stronger (but not as famous of Imam Ahmad) which was chosen by shiakh al-Islam and his student Ibn al-Qayyim. They are saying that if the absentee dead Muslim wasn't prayed upon then the fard-kifayyah moves to whoever will do it. Yet if he/she was prayed upon, then that fard kifayyah is removed.
This is one of the cases that the strongest opinion to most people of knowledge after comparison is one that wasn't so famous in the previous authorized works of the madhahib.
And Allah knows best

|I have never grown peas in a container. But when I grow them in the ground, I space them closely.
If I were to grow peas in a container I certainly would plant more than one. I would plant a seed every four inches all over the container. I think they won't mind that and you will get a more worthwhile yield.
If this is a bad idea, someone please straighten me out.
|I was going to suggest 4 square inches per plant, too. Also, try to keep the pot cool, maybe shade it from the sun or put it inside another pot, or use a white pot. Peas like it cool. A black pot in the sun might make them unhappy.

"It's not so bad," offered an architect who has a window facing the building. Alas, it is. Like the corporate campus and plaza it shares, 1 World Trade speaks volumes about political opportunism, outmoded thinking and upside-down urban priorities. It's what happens when a commercial developer is pretty much handed the keys to the castle.

The London office of SOM and Copenhagen-based firm Entasis -- who collaborated with COWI in Denmark and Sweden -- was just announced as having the winning design for the Polestar Tower in Gothenburg, Sweden. Once built, the 230 m. structure will reportedly be Scandinavia's tallest tower.

Since our last update on the Gothenburg tower competition, five star-studded finalist teams submitted their proposals under anonymity. SOM and Entasis went against teams led by Zaha Hadid Architects, Ian Simpson Architects, Wingårdhs Arkitektkontor, and Manuelle Gautrand Architecture.

"Commissioned by major contractor SERNEKE and the City of Gothenburg, this inspirational new residential scheme includes Sweden's tallest building, marking a shift from traditional development patterns in the country. Drawing on their experience as designers of 6 of the world's fifteen tallest buildings, SOM's design is highly efficient, both in terms of floor space and energy use, while still including apartments with views focused on the city and waterfront."

It's no surprise that the stakes are high to design the Gothenburg tower in Sweden, a mixed-use tower that will be the tallest building in the Nordic region. Swedish construction company SERNEKE initiated the idea of the skyscraper. Each team submitted their proposal under anonymity to the jury. The winner will be announced on June 17.

The well-known finalists make up a competitive group for the last round. They are:

U.S. and local Chinese officials gathered to host the ribbon-cutting of the new U.S. Consulate General today in Guangzhou, China. Perceived as a symbol of the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China, companies from both countries collaborated on the $267 million project, which broke ground in October 2009 and was completed in June 2013.

Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill's San Francisco office designed the complex while BL Harbert International, LLC, of Birmingham, AL and China Huashi Enterprises, Ltd., of Chengdu, China were the project's contractors.

Located on a 7.4-acre site in Guangzhou's blossoming Business Center District near the Pearl River, the seven-building complex includes a 4-story main consular building for visa services and public events, an office building for 400 employees, a residence for U.S. Marines, a warehouse with service shops, three entrance pavilions.

 The Chhatrapatri Shivaji International Airport Terminal 2 designed by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill celebrated its opening late last week in Mumbai. India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, along with visiting dignitaries and representatives from the developer GVK, inaugurated the new terminal. The structure's design combines domestic and international services, reduces passenger walking distances, and adds 4.4 million square feet to accommodate the airport's 40 million passengers a year.

 Here's some more details on the project:

 "Inspired by the form of traditional Indian pavilions, the four-story terminal stacks a grand "headhouse," or central processing podium, on top of highly adaptable and modular concourses below. Rather than compartmentalizing terminal functions, three symmetrical concourses radiate outwards from a central processing core and are therefore easily reconfigured to "swing" between serving domestic flights or international flights.

 Since we first announced that Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was chosen to design the new federal courthouse in Downtown LA, construction for the new cubic courthouse at the corner of First Street and Broadway began on August 8.

 The approx. 600,000 square-foot building was proposed back in 2001 and approved by Congress for $400 million, but the project came to a halt in 2006 when the Government Accountability Office found that costs had tripled due to delays and design changes. The new $319 million courthouse -- designed by SOM in partnership with Clark Construction -- will be an addition to the revived Civic Center area, as reported by the LA Times.

 Aiming for LEED Platinum, the serrated façade of the "Cube" is designed to achieve a north/south orientation to maximize views while reducing solar heat gain by 47%. The building has water and electricity conservation strategies and a 400 kW roof-mounted photovoltaic array. Part of the courthouse's design is to appear floating over its...

Almost invisibly in her own day, Natalie de Blois, of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, helped guide the design of three of the most important corporate landmarks of the 1950s and '60s — the headquarters of Lever Brothers, Pepsi-Cola and Union Carbide — whose suave steel-and-glass facades still exude the cool confidence of postwar Park Avenue.

Federal officials this morning announced that Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Architects has won the contract to build a $400 million Downtown courthouse. "Today, the new federal courthouse is that much closer to becoming a reality for downtown Los Angeles," said Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard in a prepared statement. The selection, she said, "means we are moving toward the groundbreaking of a critically needed facility that will resolve long-standing security and space issues."

We are rarely roused by the day-to-day, brick-by-brick additions that have the most power to change our environment. We know what we already like but not how to describe it, or how to change it, or how to change our minds. We need to learn how to read a building, an urban plan, a developer's rendering, and to see where critique might make a difference.... We need more critics — citizen critics — equipped with the desire and the vocabulary to remake the city.

 Places features an essay from Alexandra Lange's new book Writing About Architecture: Mastering the Language of Buildings and Cities (Princeton Architectural Press, 2012).

 Lange takes on a classic text by Ada Louise Huxtable — a review of SOM's 1967 Marine Midland Bank Building — and shows us why it's so good and what we can learn from it by following in the footsteps of a master.

Research Summary:
A. Synthetic Enzymes and Redox Catalysts
Diorganoselenides and tellurides undergo reversible two-electron redox processes based on oxidative-addition and reductive-elimination catalysts. These cycles are the basis for the construction of synthetic enzymes which mimic horseradish peroxidase or the haloperoxidases for the activation of hydrogen peroxide, and provide templates for chiral halogenations, and templates for the kinetic resolution of enantiomeric mixtures of vicinal dihalides through dehalogenation reactions, which we have examined in the Department of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo. These reactions can be used as "green" approaches to the halogenations of organic substrates by avoiding the use of elemental halogens and, instead, using hydrogen peroxide (which decomposes to water and oxygen) and halide salts (chloride, bromide, iodide) to generate the elemental halogen or hypohalous acid. The organochalcogenides catalyze the process.
The organochalcogen catalysts can be sequestered in siloxane-based xerogels to give catalysts on a solid support. In several examples, the catalytic activity has been increased by nearly two orders of magnitude relative to the catalytic activity in solution. The xerogel supports can be tailored for halide permeability as well as peroxide permeability to improve catalytic efficiency. The sequestered catalysts can be recycled through several catalytic cycles. Ionic liquids also accelerate the catalytic efficiency of the reactions with organochalcogen catalysts. We are currently investigating the synthesis and properties of organochalcogen catalysts incorporating imidazolium functionality to mimic the ionic liquids. These derivatives include materials that can b attached covalently to the xerogels.
B. Antifouling and Foul-Release Surfaces Derived from Organochalcogenide-Containing Xerogels and Catalyst-Free Xerogels
The organochalcogen catalyst-xerogel sol can also be cast as a thin film to provide an antifouling/foul-release surface in a marine environment. Seawater in sheltered areas contains micromolar concentration of hydrogen peroxide near the surface from the photochemical decomposition of organic matter and from rain water, which interacts with lightning to produce hydrogen peroxide in the rain drops. Several different kinds of bacteria also produce hydrogen peroxide on a submerged surface. Local peroxide concentrations can be as high as 50 micromolar. In the presence of the xerogel-sequestered catalyst, the reaction of peroxide with the halide salt (0.5 M in chloride, 1 mM in bromide, and 1 micromolar in iodide in seawater) is accelerated producing a monolayer of bleach/hypohalous acid on the xerogel surface. Settlement of marine organisms is thus discouraged.
The xerogel can also be tailored to have a surface energy that is in the zone of minimal bioadhesion on the so-called Baier Curve to provide surfaces that release fouling organisms. We are currently exploring surfaces of appropriate surface energy that also have micrometer and nanometer-scale topological features, which can serve to minimize adhesion and optimize release. The topological features are observed using AFM microscopy and the infrared microscope. We have had recent success in providing surfaces that release barnacles and macro-fouling algae. This work is currently funded by the Office of Naval Research.
C. Chalcogenorhodamine and Chalcogenopyrylium Inhibitors of P-glycoprotein
The rhodamine dyes and analogues incorporating the heavier chalcogen atoms sulfur, selenium, and tellurium interact with transmembrane domains of the ABC transporter P-glycoprotein. These molecules can act as either strong stimulators of ATPase activity in the protein or as inhibitors of ATPase activity. We have recently shown that the interconversion of an amide to a thioamide gives several predictable changes: 1) The amides are ATPase stimulators while the thioamides are ATPase inhibitors. 2) The amides are transported rapidly by P-glycoprotein while the thioamides are transported extremely slowly. 3) Both the amides and thioamides interact with P-glycoprotein in such a way that calcein AM is transported rapidly into the cell.
Crosslinking studies with David Clarke's group at the University of Toronto suggest that the rhodamines bind to the "open" conformation of P-glycoprotein. In contrast, the chalcogenopyrylium inhibitors appear through crosslinking studies to bind most strongly to the closed conformation of P-glycoprotein. Amide and thioamide pairs in the chalcogenopyrylium series have nearly identical response characteristics to the chalcogenorhodamines.
Our goals in this project are to design sub-nanomolar inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (in collaboration with Tom Raub/Geri Sawada at Eli Lilly), to co-crystallize rhodamine and/or pyrylium dyes with crystals of the "inward" and "outward" facing conformations of P-glycoprotein in order to provide a high-resolution crystal structure (in collaboration with Dr. Geoffrey Chang of Scripps), and to elucidate mechanistic details of the ATP/ADP cycle as well as details of the biochemistry of the protein (in collaboration with Dr. Tom Raub/Geri Sawada at Eli Lilly, in collaboration with Dr. Greg Tombline at the University of Rochester, and in collaboration with Dr. David Clarke at the University of Toronto). We are also examining the interaction of the chalcogenorhodamine and chalcogenopyrylium dyes with other ABC transporters including MRP1 and BCRP in collaboration with Dr. Susan Cole at Queens University. The work is currently funded through support from the NIH.
D. Organic Dyes as Photosensitizers for the Production of Solar Electricity and Solar Hydrogen
Chalcogenorhodamine and chalcogenopyrylium dyes are efficient photosensitizers for the harvesting of photons, especially in the 400-800-nm window where solar light is quite intense. We have demonstrated that carboxylic acid anchors on these dyes are effective for binding the materials to titanium dioxide, where ICPE values are quite high. The formation of H-aggregates improves values of IPCE as well as injection yields into titania relative to unaggregated dyes. The carboxylic acid anchors are not effective for producing long-lived devices. We have been preparing chalcogenorhodamine and chalcogenopyrylium dyes with phosphonate anchors, which give much tighter binding to titania without sacrificing IPCE. Long-lived devices have been prepared from these materials with efficiencies of 1-2%. This work is being done in collaboration with Dr. David Watson of UB and is currently funded by a grant from the PRF.
Among our goals for this project are to demonstrate that organic photosensitizers are practical for use in solar applications and that sensitization across a broad portion of the 400-700-nm window is possible with high values of IPCE. Several of our dyes have higher values of IPCE than the ruthenium complexes over this window. The design of appropriate molecules also allows the controlled formation of H- and/or J-aggregates, which we have demonstrated improves injection yields. We have also demonstrated that both carboxylic acid and phosphonic acid anchors can be used without sacrificing performance.
The chalcogenorhodamine and chalcogenopyrylium dyes are also efficient photosensitizers for the production of solar hydrogen. In homogeneous systems using cobalt complexes as catalysts, turnover numbers as high as 10,000 moles of hydrogen per mole of catalyst have been realized with an overall efficiency of > 30%. These dyes are also efficient photosensitizers for colloidal platinum and palladium catalysts and for platinized titania. This work is being done in collaboration with Prof. Rich Eisenberg at the University of Rochester.
E. New Registration Systems for Biosensing Applications
The ultimate purpose for this research is to develop a new generation of biosensing/registration platforms for real-world sensing applications in a collaborative effort between our group and Prof. Frank Bright's group in the Department of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo. There have been numerous biosensing/bioassay platforms developed over the years to detect and quantify analytes in complex samples. Unfortunately, all current systems are limited because they are not universal, suffer from background signals that bias the measurements, and/or they are somewhat difficult to manufacture. We propose an entirely new approach to circumvent the aforementioned problems and aim to develop a new generation of biosensing/registration platforms that exploit the tailored recognition/switching dye chemistry pioneered by the Detty group and the Bright group's expertise in sol-gel-derived composite materials, analytical biosensing, protein biophysics, and optical spectroscopy.

Hapag-Lloyd ordered four container ships of 13,200 20-foot equivalent units capacity from Hyundai Heavy Industries. The ocean carrier also upgraded an earlier order for six 8,750-TEU ships from the Korean shipyard to the larger size.
The 10 vessels, scheduled for delivery between mid-2012 and the end of 2013, will be deployed on Asia-Europe routes operated with the German carrier's Grand Alliance partners OOCL and NYK.
Hyundai said the 10 ship order is worth $1.45 billion, making it Hapag-Lloyd's largest contract.
By The Numbers: Asia-Europe Westbound Container Traffic.
"This is a clear sign that Hapag-Lloyd has returned to its previous position of strength and will take advantage of its opportunities to grow profitably," said Michael Behrendt, chairman of the executive board of Hapag-Lloyd.
"The step up to the next vessel size is as well considered as it is important for Hapag-Lloyd."
Hapag-Lloyd, which was rescued from the brink of bankruptcy by its shareholders in late 2009, has also bought back its imposing headquarters in Hamburg's Ballindamm from its largest individual shareholder TUI.
TUI said it will book $429 million in inflows from the sale of the building on Hamburg's waterfront.
Hapag-Lloyd, the world's fifth largest ocean carrier, also announced it has paid back around $793 million of loans to its shareholders.
The Hapag-Lloyd order underscored the renewed confidence in container shipping a year after its deepest slump. The contract came a day after CSAV, the Chilean carrier rescued by German charter ship owners in 2009, announced an order for two 8,000-TEU ships.
OOCL is said to be negotiating an order for 13,200-TEU ships and Maersk Line is expected shortly to unveil a contract for 10 18,000-TEU vessels with an option for a further 10.

Initial thoughts on this picture. I love it.
First, notice the verse on the board. This is not what the verse says. What it actually says is, "God is a righteous judge, who has anger everyday". But, first rule of Biblical interpretation? Don't take things out of context. Preceding verse? "God is my savior". Verse 16, which tells us who God is angry at? Violent people. Not "Homos" as his button suggests. Which brings us to his buttons.
1) Homo slashed by a red line. We get it. You don't think God likes gays. But did you forget the adage to "speak the truth in love"? That is neither speaking nor in love.
2) Trust Jesus. Ok, I like this one.
3) finger pointing up, says "1 way". It almost seems to point to the sign holder. Or it could be pointing to the "nohomo" button. Not going to go there.
Hat. Trying desperately to have something that looks cool. He fails.
Glasses. makes him look a bit like a hipster-intellectual. You aren't fooling anyone.
The straps holding the sign make it look like he is wearing suspenders. Adds to the look of foolishness.
The look on the guy's face. Priceless. He seems genuinely disinterested, yet committed, to his message.
The kid. Here is where the magic happens. Something about this scene seems so wrong to us. It is this kid, without words, speaking truth to someone more powerful than himself. This kid, in his apparent innocence, makes the hatefulness of this guy so apparent.
There is simply nothing redemptive about this guy's stance or message.
Christian FAIL.
and who stands up to this hateful Christian Goliath?
Go kids.
