Prague Crossroads
The Prague Crossroads, an international spiritual centre, is one of the projects of Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation VIZE 97, which is also intended to preserve and administer this unique space. Prague Crossroads is located in a long-deconsecrated church, founded by St Wenceslas in 927 A.D.
The main inspiration for the creation of the Prague Crossroads came from the former Czech President - the dissident, writer and dramatist Václav Havel. His concept was an evocative venue for all kinds of meetings, where lectures, discussions, concerts, performances, exhibitions, meditation and happenings can take place in a spirit of respect for the multicultural diversity of the modern world. Its main objective is to respond to the now widely felt need for open-minded and creative dialogue among people of different faiths, convictions and professions about the present state of our civilisation, the dangers threatening it, and the hopes for the future.

Although Fernando Alonso put in his best qualifying showing in months, the Ferrari driver was left to rue losing second place in Brazil.
The double World Champion brought his F138 home in third place at a wet Interlagos circuit on Saturday afternoon.
After a 40 minute delay due to the treacherous conditions, Alonso clocked a 1:27.539 to take third place on the grid.
However, the Spaniard, who hasn't been that high since April's Bahrain GP, reckons he could have nabbed second if only he hadn't made a mistake on his final flying lap.
"We know that in wet conditions our performance improves a little bit," he said.
"We were waiting for some wet races but it only came in the last in Brazil.
"To be honest I have mixed feelings.
"I am happy to be so high up the grid because we have started between seven and tenth in the last five or six grands prix which is not ideal so being in the first three is good.
"But I'm not totally happy with my lap.
"I lost a lot of time, not enough to beat Seb who is too far in front of us but I think second was less difficult.
"I think second could have been possible but I'm not sad with third and the opportunities in front of us for tomorrow race."

No, I'm not going to post a photo of a cat. I'm talking about vaginas here.
As everyone knows the further West you head in Japan the hairier girls' pussies become. From Osaka it starts to get a little thick, Fukuoka girls are pretty damn hairy (not just pussies either). Then by the time you are in Kagoshima you need a weedwacker before going in, or you may never return.
The other day I went down on perhaps the hairiest pussy I have ever seen.
And it wasn't bad.

Friday, March 15, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — A $2.24 million road renovation project began this week on Route 236 from the Pan Am Railroad tracks to Main Street.
"Rain could back the project up. Anytime paving is involved, you have weather and temperature elements that are crucial for the timeline," Ted Talbot, spokesman for Maine Department of Transportation, said.

The driver in a fatal one car crash turned himself in to the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office Friday - after investigators say he fled the scene early Thursday morning. YNN's Kaitlyn Lionti tells us more about passenger who was killed, and how he's being remembered.
SILVER CREEK, N.Y. — A memorial marks scene of the crash that killed 22-year-old Jeremy Long early Thursday morning in Silver Creek.
"Jeremy was a really fun, outgoing, loving person. He had the hugest heart. I mean, we all had our cliques in high school, you know, there was different groups, but Jeremy was one that could get along with pretty much anybody," said Jane Hogg, Long's friend.
Hogg graduated with Long from Silver Creek High School in 2008.
His school counselor described Long as a very passionate person with a big heart, who always stood up for other kids.
"We kept in touch over the years, so I'm glad I did," said Hogg.
Hogg says she works near where Long worked at Aunt Millie's Family Restaurant, and would give him a ride sometimes so they could catch up.
The general manager at Aunt Millie's says Long was a good kid, whom he called "surfer dude" because of his blonde hair.
He says the driver of the car, 22-year-old Jeremiah Burgess, also worked at the restaurant and says the two worked hard and played hard.
When first responders found the car Thursday, Long was dead inside and Burgess was nowhere in sight.
"I've seen things on Facebook, going from he's a coward, he's just a kid, to he's heartless. But then, there's feeling sorry for him like he was scared, he didn't know what to do," said Hogg. But Hogg says she wants people to focus on her friend, "I want everyone to remember what a kind person he was and we should all be thankful that we had the opportunity and the chance to be part of his life."
The investigation is ongoing, but investigators say speed and alcohol were involved in the crash.
They say Burgess gave them a statement and formal charges are pending.

Got That?
In Arizona state courts, plea agreements are generally simple. Although a few paragraphs tend to confuse most defendants and require a little bit of explaining, they'll at least set forth a definite number of years in prison, or maybe a range. Or they'll say probation and maybe specify a specific jail term. Exactly what the defendant is facing is fairly clear. As I've started to do more federal work, however, I've noticed that things aren't always that way in federal court. I wrote before about how silly it is to pretend at the change of plea hearing that the defendant wasn't coerced when we all know that mandatory minimums cause coercion in nearly every case. That isn't quite as common in federal cases, but there's a different … Read entire article »

Today's Lesson From Jail
Walking into Maricopa County's lovely Fourth Avenue Jail earlier today, it occurred to me that you don't really see that many fanny packs outside of county jail waiting areas anymore. Sweat pants, too. There was one lady with a wispy brown mustache sporting purple sweat pants and not one, but two fanny packs. One had a broken zipper and a jumbo pack of Zig-Zag rolling papers poking out of a hole. The other was bulging but closed, filled no doubt with all kinds of fascinating objects. She was quite upset she couldn't bring her fanny packs and their contents into her video visit. That lady would ordinarily be the pièce de résistance of a wait to do a custody visit, but this time I was fortunate … Read entire article »

I Don't
Forbes, and more recently Oliver Burkeman, have both discussed the important and interesting difference between "I don't" and "I can't" when it comes to breaking bad habits. They note that studies have actually shown that saying something like "I can't eat that extra cookie" is far less effective at preventing you from eating that extra cookie than saying "I don't eat extra cookies." It works in all kinds of other areas too, apparently. Although both articles talk about why that is, each explaining in different ways how "I don't" is a choice while "I can't" is a restriction, neither touches on a potential deeper reason for the difference or explores its broader implications. Consider the implications about who the "you" is in the statement when you're saying "I … Read entire article »

What's Wrong With Us?
I spent the weekend volunteering at a biker rally. While I was at the registration area one evening, a call came in about a woman falling in a culvert. I tagged along to assist a friend who used to work in an emergency room. As we approached, we saw the woman laying on her back with a crowd surrounding her. She was asking for her husband and had obviously injured her leg. The people helping her thought it was broken. It was swollen, and she was unable to walk. When her husband arrived, she demanded he carry her back to their tent. She begged everyone not to call an ambulance because she couldn't afford it. They honored her wishes. I couldn't help but marvel … Read entire article »

Motorcycle v. Smart Phone
It turns out that Samsung makes a seriously durable phone. Here's a Droid Charge, scuffed after some idiot left it on the right pannier of an enduro motorcycle and drove off at highway speeds: Believe it or not, the phone still works. Call quality is pretty good, and the screen works great, though the little hardware buttons at the bottom are a bit tough to press. In case you're wondering, those rubber bands came off of a bouquet of grocery store broccoli crowns and actually hold the phone together quite nicely.

Tuning MySQL Performance with MySQLTuner
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Tue, 2008-09-02 11:00. :: MySQL
Tuning MySQL Performance with MySQLTuner
Version 1.0
MySQLTuner is a Perl script that analyzes your MySQL performance and, based on the statistics it gathers, gives recommendations which variables you should adjust in order to increase performance. That way, you can tune your my.cnf file to tease out the last bit of performance from your MySQL server and make it work more efficiently.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Using MySQLTuner
You can download the MySQLTuner script as follows:
wget http://mysqltuner.com/mysqltuner.pl
In order to run it, we must make it executable:
chmod +x mysqltuner.pl
Afterwards, we can run it. You need your MySQL root password for it:
server1:~# ./mysqltuner.pl
You should carefully read the output, especially the recommendations at the end. It shows exactly which variables you should adjust in the [mysqld] section of your my.cnf (on Debian and Ubuntu the full path is /etc/mysql/my.cnf). Whenever you change your my.cnf, make sure that you restart MySQL. You can then run MySQLTuner again to see if it has further recommendations to improve the MySQL performance. This way, you can optimize MySQL step by step.

Start: 7:00 pm
Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood welcomes acclaimed local author M.G. Lord to the store to celebrate the publication of her new book, The Accidental Feminist, on Thursday, February 23rd at 7pm.Subtitled "How Elizabeth Taylor Raised Our Consciousness and We Were Too Distracted by Her Beauty to Notice," The Accidental Feminist looks at the life of this Hollywood legend from a new perspective, from her breakout role in National Velvet to her Oscar-winning performance in Butterfield 8. Drawing on unpublished letters and scripts as well as interviews with Kate Burton, Gore Vidal, Austin Pendleton, Kevin McCarthy, Liz Smith, and others, The Accidental Feminist is an engaging read that will appeal to not only Elizabeth Taylor fans, but film fans as a whole.M.G. Lord is an author and critic. Since 1995 she has been a regular contributor to The New York Times Book Review and the Times's Arts & Leisure section. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including ARTNews, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times Book Review, and The New Yorker. She lives in Los Angeles.

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes acclaimed authors Gary Taubes and Frederick Crews to the store to discuss Why We Get Fat on Thursday, February 23rd at 7pm.In Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It, science writer Gary Taubes seeks to debunk the standard "calories in-calories out" model of diet and nutrition. He argues that carbohydrates, and their ensuing insulin production, are the true source of weight gain, and that insulin's regulation of fat tissue is the true source of our modern obesity epidemic.Gary Taubes is the author of several books about scientific controversy: Nobel Dreams, Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion, and Good Calories, Bad Calories. He has won the Science in Society Award of the National Association of Science Writers three times. Joining Mr. Taubes in conversation will be acclaimed author Frederick Crews. Throughout his acclaimed career as a writer and critic, Mr. Crews has taken a similarly skeptical position toward popular trends in the scientific, literary, and psychoanalytic communities. His many books include The Pooh Perplex, The Critics Bear It Away: American Fiction and the Academy, and The Memory Wars: Freud's Legacy in Dispute.

Maya's IRONMAN Triathlon to benefit Empower1:
Date: Sunday, July 28th, 2013
Fundraising goal: $5000.00
In continuing tradition of promoting active and healthy lifestyle, Empower1 is very pleased to announce our partnership with Maya Sherpa in her Lake Placid IRONMAN Triathlon to raise funds for Empower1.
About IRONMAN Triathlon:
IRONMAN Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and in one day. IRONMAN events have a strict time limit of 17 hours to complete the race. The race begins at 7:00 AM, and there are strict cut-off times to complete each leg of the race (Swim in 2hr 20min, Bike by 5:30PM, and run by midnight).
About Maya Sherpa:
Maya Sherpa, originally from Kathmandu, Nepal, currently resides in New York City, USA. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Communications from Baruch College, New York and currently works as a National Television Investment Supervisor at OMD, a very successful advertising firm. She is a passionate athlete and leads a very active lifestyle. She enjoys swimming, running and biking and motivates everyone to stay active and healthy.
So far, Maya has completed:
4 Marathons (New York City, Miami, Tennessee and Philadelphia)
2 Half-IRONMAN Triathlons (Syracuse, NY and Rhode Island)
4 Olympic distance New York City Triathlons
10+ Half-Marathons.
To our knowledge, Maya Sherpa will be the first Nepali to attempt IRONMAN Triathlon, which requires rigorous training, great discipline and dedication. If she successfully completes Lake Placid IRONMAN, which we are confident she will, it will be a very proud moment for Nepal and also for Nepalese people all around the world. Maya will have 17 hours to finish the race.
The objective of Maya Sherpa's IRONMAN Triathlon participation is to raise awareness and funds for Empower1′s causes. Funds raised from this event will go towards Empower1's new project, "OFF the Streets, ON to Life." The project aims to provide shelter, healthcare and help rehabilitate street children in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The movie "Visa Girl" is produced by CG Entertainment, one of the leading studios in Nepalese movie industry based in Nepal. Empower1 has obtained the rights from CG Entertainment to be the sole distributer of the movie "Visa Girl" in the US to raise funds for Empower1. The US tour will include many big cities such as NY, Dallas, Burlington, to name a few. We are still in process of adding more cities to this tour.
The objective of the event is to raise funds for Empower1′s causes. Proceeds from the screening of the movie in the US will go towards Empower1's new project, "OFF the Streets, ON to Life". The project aims to provide shelter, healthcare and help rehabilitate street children in Kathmandu, Nepal.
[A small fun fact about "Visa Girl": The movie was recently screened at the Embassy of the US in Kathmandu, Nepal on Thursday, January 24th, 2013 as a part of their recreational Thursday event. The response was so positively overwhelming that the Embassy has scheduled a "Tea and Talk" session with the cast and crews of the movie.]

Elizabeth Windham ("Ellie") is a graduate student at New York University majoring in International Education and will be completing her degree in May 2013. Ellie is from Lititz, PA. She did her undergraduate studies in International Studies at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Currently, She is working at NYU's Office for International Students and Scholars as a Programming Assistant. Prior to attending NYU, Ellie volunteered in Nepal for nine months as a library teacher in Phaplu and Kathmandu. Now in her spare time she volunteers with teenagers with developmental disabilities at Plai Theatre and serves meals to the homeless at Monday Night Hospitality soup kitchen.
Ellie will be running her first marathon on Sunday, November 18 in Philadelphia.
Ellie's goal is to raise $750 to support Empower1's new project, "OFF the Streets, ON to Life". The project aims to provide shelter, healthcare and help rehabilitate street children in Kathmandu, Nepal. The program currently consists of 10 children, all aged between 8 and 14. The funds raised by Ellie will go towards providing complete health checkups for the children as well towards building a learning and development room (to buy furniture, books and stationery, and basic sports equipments) within the shelter.
- Run/Walk to Empower
In addition to improving the quality of education, one of Empower1′s objectives is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among children at institutions that Empower1 partners with. To uphold that value, Empower1 successfully organized its 1st annual running/walking event, "Run/Walk To Empower" on May 5, 2012 in Central Park, NY. Participants were able to choose from two courses – a 5K and a 10K.
Event:"Run/Walk to Empower"
Courses: 5k or 10k
Date: May 5th, 2012
Time: 10AM – 1PM
Location: Central Park, New York
"Clean the house, Clean the Soul" at New Children Home:
The orphanage building was in a poor condition with windows and doors falling
out, cracked walls, paints coming off the walls, leaking bathroom etc. The environment was unhygienic and not conducive to sound physical and moral development of children.
So, Empower1 cleaned the entire building to give the kids a cleaner, healthier and better place to live. Several Empower1 members in Nepal spent over 2 weeks painting all the interior and exterior walls of the building, and also painted various creative kids-friendly murals on the walls. Empower1 members taught the kids the importance of cleanliness, and worked with them to create a routine to clean the building. A BIG THANKS to our Nepal team for working so hard.
Day 1:

Festive Clothing Drive to benefit children at NCH:
Empower1 organized a "Festive Clothing Drive" in collaboration with "Believers" to collect clothes for the children at the orphanage during Dashian and Deepawali, which are one of the biggest holidays in Nepal. We thought that new pair of clothes would help make the holidays a little more exciting and fun for the children. In addition to helping "Empower1″, "Believers" also donated clothes to Empower1′s "Festive Clothing Drive". A BIG SHOUT OUT to "Believers" for their generosity and support.
_______________________________________________________________ "Little Smiles, Go great miles"- Cloth Distribution at the Orphange:
Empower1 members and volunteers distributed clothes collected during "Festive Clothing Drive" to the children of NCH just in time for the holidays.
Clothes collected= 44 sets
Collection+ Laundry of clothes = 15 days
Number of volunteers = 11
Smiling faces = PRICELESS
"Caring is Loving"
One of the important and basic things children need is Love, Care and Affection. Empower1 members and volunteers were more than glad to share that with kids at the orphanage by celebrating their birthdays with them.

I went this past spring. I got 30 articles of clothing for $15!!!
I basically went through their bins and put anything I remotely liked into my shopping cart. This took a while. When I was done going through the bins, I went through my shopping cart and put the stuff I liked the most in the bottom of my bag, and then filled it with as much stuff as I could that I actually liked.
Me, being a big huge dork, took some pictures of my deals...
Oooh, this sounds totally like my kind of thing :-)
Do you know if they include clearance maternity clothes? I still have 10 weeks to go, and I'll make everything I have work because I'm cheap, but if I could get a few extra things, that would be awesome!

7:00 PM: Wake up with much-needed coffee. Late night with Vera Wang (after her after-show Mr. Chow dinner) at the Vman Party for Kanye West.
7:45 PM: Celebrity Face Designer Tim Quinn from Armani Beauty stops by my apartment to give me a much needed make-up for the big day.
9:30 AM: Arrive at Lincoln Center for Michael Kors 30th anniversary show. Go backstage, get miked, see Michael and congratulate him and get ready to do runway commentary with Derek Blasberg. The male models weren't getting the same attention as the female ones so I made sure to pay them a visit as they were changing. The buzz for the show was tremendous, everyone was really excited.
10:00 AM: Go to my seat, on the way say hi to Angie Harmon who did a great job at the SAG awards and sit down. The show was Michael at his best. The usual supermodels, led by Carmen Kass, in solid colors of cashmere, double face and other fine fabrics. Sequined bodysuits and metallic mirrored platforms stood out in this show-stopping spectacular. Music started with Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and ended with Odyssey's "Native New Yorker." The music made the whole place want to sing and dance.
11:00 AM: Go back to Vie Luxe Headquarters conveniently very close to Lincoln Center.
6:00 PM: Stephanie Pratt comes over for some tea and a giggle before leaving for Elie Tahari.
6:45 PM: Get to the tents and have a powwow with Joan and Melissa Rivers in the Maybelline suite before the show.
7:00 PM: Get seated and say hi to Martha Stewart's Kevin Sharkey. A seated runway show with a great collection. Tailored lace, mixed in with the "sexy suit" that Elie is known for. It was fun and beautiful.
8:00 PM: After the show I grabbed famed photographer Douglas Friedman and went to the Bemelmans Bar in the Carlyle for Michael Kors' 30th anniversary party. Angelica Houston, Debra Messing, Frankie Rayder were all drifting in as Judy Collins serenaded us with "Send in the Clowns" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow". It was Bieber Fever for the male fashion crowd and they wept as she sang.
9:00 PM: The night ended with dinner at the Mark Restaurant with Stephanie Pratt, Doug Friedman and Tim Quinn and we were joined by Derek Blasberg and Elie Tahari uber publicist Scott Currie for dessert.
11:30 PM: Completely exhausted, I went home and fell asleep watching Andy Cohen on the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion!

Symmetry is not the only factor that affects attractiveness, of course. For example, Marilyn Monroe had a prominent mole on only one side of her face. This mole may have helped to draw people's attention to her face, which then increased her perceived beauty.
One demonstration that symmetry is important to judgments of facial attractiveness comes from morphing studies. In these experiments, people rate the attractiveness of a series of faces along with one face that is the morphed average of the set of faces. This morphed average is generally seen as more attractive than the mean rating of all of the faces from which it was generated. A big reason for this advantage for the average face is that it is much more symmetric than the individual faces from which it was generated. The morphing process eliminates the asymmetries in the individual faces.

I'm tired of trying to make sense of oil data. After writing the OPEC report (page 101) as a result of a recent trip, where more oil data was presented and gathered for analysis by this Editor, I thought I'd try something easier and look at natural gas data. As goofy as gas data is, even with all the court cases and the charges of price manipulation going on, relative to oil, it makes perfectly good sense.
T. Boone Pickens said recently that the historic 6-to-1 price ratio of oil to gas would have to be reestablished within the next year or so. This is based on the fact that, ordinarily, on an energy basis, it takes six times as much gas as it does oil to provide heat for an industrial process. Thus, the 4% or so of companies that are able to switch fuels will do so if there's a sufficient economic advantage.

you have just arrived in China and are planning to set
up an office here then this section is for you. We have
done our best to provide useful information on all aspects
connectivity here in China. If there are questions that
have not been answered, please feel free to contact us.
What are the options for Internet connectivity in China?
2. What is the situation with government
censorship of the
3. What is the advantage of using
IT Broadband Networks?
4. What after sales support does
ITBN offer?
What are the options for Internet connectivity
in China?
your office is located within a major Chinese city,
you should be able to find Internet offerings very similar
to what you could expect in the US or Europe –
with one major difference. China Telecom (or its subsidiaries)
still maintains a monopoly control of traditional telecom
resources. Thus many connections will include both a
line rental from China Telecom and a data traffic fee
from the ISP.
The following are some of the more common options
currently available in China for corporate subscribers.
We point out that there may be a few other options
such as GSM dial-up which might be implemented in combination
with these to create an entire office/remote access
(64 kbps – 128 kbps)
With ISDN, Internet
access is provided over the publicly switched telephone
network, but in completely digital format instead of
traditional analog. ISDN as most commonly implemented
within China provides from 64 kbps to 512 kbps to the
customer and has a high level of redundancy, guaranteeing
a minimum of down time. ISDN can be configured either
as "always-up" or for "bandwidth
on demand".
Leased Line (64 kbps – 512 kbps)
ITBN is the only ISP in China to offer fixed IP addresses
for selected ISDN subscribers. This allows companies
to leverage the decreased cost of ISDN dial-up with
required functionality such as remote access to external
E1 (64 kbps – 2 mbps)
The traditional approach for corporate Internet
access in China has been via DDN ("Digital Data
Network") leased lines, also know as "private
circuits", because they are, in theory, always
on-line, allowing use of fixed IP addresses. These are
typically delivered to customer premises via normal
PST-provided copper telephone wire, but are switched
through a municipal DDN network to the ISP. As supplied
in China, DDN is used to deliver anywhere from 64 kbps
(a "partial E1" connection) up to a full
E1 (2.048 mbps). However, due to the low number of subscribers
and the need to set up each connection individually,
in most cases DDN proves to be the most expensive option
in terms of both setup and monthly rental fees.
(2 mbps – 100 mbps)
Used with increasing frequency by corporate subscribers
with high bandwidth requirements, fiber connectivity
is now available in for many parts of Beijing and Shanghai
– including Beijing's Sanlitun Embassy District.
Fiber is an ideal solution for corporations looking
for substantial and scalable bandwidth.
If you are having difficulty deciding which option is
right for you then please feel free to contact one of
our Corporate Services representative,
who will be happy to answer you questions.
What is the situation with government censorship
of the Internet?
Chinese Internet is very much a regulated
entity with all international exits
watched carefully by a combination
of private and government run filters
and software. To the end-user in China,
this feature of the Chinese Internet
makes itself known with slow download
speeds and often arbitrary connectivity
to foreign Web sites. Many US news
and government sites that may not be
accessible over one connection may
be easily reached on a second connection.
(see ITBN's technical advantages,
Similarly, the concentration of all international traffic
into several routes means that many carriers are vulnerable
to physical disruptions. In 2001, many Chinese Internet
users were stranded when an underwater China Telecom
cable near Japan was cut. Some traffic was diverted to
alternative routes, but overall the entire national Internet
experienced a considerable slow down.
What are the advantages of using IT Broadband Networks?
offers subscribers quality and options
unprecedented in Chinese Internet Service
uplink options
ITBN currently offers three different upload options to
residential subscribers. This offers redundancy in light
of international network disruption, and also delivers
control of the uplink directly to you, the end user. You
yourself can choose which of the three uplinks to use
as required by your Web browsing habits. All other Chinese
ISP's offer a single default uplink. When you find
access to a specific site is blocked, there is nothing
that can be done. Only ITBN delivers options.
ITBN is the only ISP in China now using sophisticated
bandwidth allocation technology to ensure the exact amount
of bandwidth delivered to EACH subscriber. With some connectivity
packages, ITBN even provides guaranteed bandwidth to the
end-user. This technology allows ITBN to maintain constant
real time monitoring of network conditions to ensure a
smooth and effective delivery of Internet service.
packages for remote access solutions
ITBN is the only ISP in China to offer group packages
covering both individual and corporate subscribers. Depending
on your requirements, ITBN engineers can assist you in
configuring your internal network to allow VPN
based remote access – with the additional
security of allowing access to only your own residential
subscribers to ITBN. Add a level of security by using
ITBN internal IP addressing – without exposing yourself
to the entire Internet.
What after sales support does ITBN offer?
offers unrivalled after sales service,
with true 24 hour bilingual telephone
support. Our highly experienced support
staff are on hand to help you whenever
you need them. Email based support
is also available if you prefer. ITBN is also the only
ISP to offer Technical Account Managers to each client.

The seminar did attract a lot of audience and participants not only from the UT-HCMC but also from other companies
Prof. Nguyễn Văn Thư, UT-HCMC President highly Emphasized the importance of Logistics in Supply Chain
With the topic "Reducing Logistics costs by improving logistics performance-case of Vietnam", Dr. Hồ Thị Thu Hòa (Lecturer from Transport Economics Faculty of UT-HCMC) commented that Vietnam's logistics expense is quite high covering 25% GDP, higher than that of China (22.3%), Japan (11%), USA (10.1%), và EU (7.15%),… and make up approximately 30 – 40% product's cost. ( while it is only 15% in other countries). In order to help Vietnam Logistics obtain the maximum profit, the responsibility not only belongs to all the related department but also the authority. All have to cooperate to push up the development of infrastructure, human resourcing, custom clearance procedure and technology, etc.
Dr. Hồ Thị Thu Hòa in her presentation about the high cost of Vietnam's Logistics
According to Prof.Dr.Hans-Dietrich Haasis, ISL Chairman in his report named "Efficiency and Effectiveness of the Nordrange Ports", the elements leading to the port'success are convenient location, market share, transport market share, hinterland connection, logistics standard and services, structure and market size, etc. Efficiency and Effectiveness in modern logistics are related to cooperation and to communication between value chain partners and stakeholders of dynamic supply chain networks on a regional and on a global level.
During the seminar, professionals and enterprises did transfer, discuss all the concerned matters in logistics management, sea ports, and their hinterland. Delegates was also enjoy many realistic and useful reports in Logistics industry such as: "Port development in the close connection with the hinterland logistics-key factor for the success of Saigon Newport Corporation (SNP) (Mr. Bui Van Quy- Marketing Director-SNP), "Forward-looking, neutral, collaborative: AWV- Partners for Business amd Administration (Mr. Uirich Naujokat, Executive Director AWV- Working Group for Efficient Administration; "Port Development-beyond the sea-land" ( Mr.Trần Nguyên Khôi, Chair of Business/ISL, the Bremen University); "Development of dry ports in Vietnam" (M.Sc.

Increase in heart attack risk after joint surgery low but persistent
A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine indicates that the risk of having a heart attack is up to 31 times higher immediately following joint replacement surgery. Those relative risk numbers could be terrifying for someone who needs to have a knee or hip replaced. The absolute risk numbers offer some reassurance. In the six weeks following surgery, one in 200 people in the study who got a new hip and one in 500 who had a knee replaced suffered a heart attack. One new point the study underscored is that the elevated risk may last longer than previously thought. Though earlier research had suggested a danger zone lasting four to five days after joint replacement—coincidentally, the period in which many people are discharged from the hospital—the elevated heart attack risk may persist for two to six weeks.

Dr. Lam, let me start of by saying that you are absolutely brilliant. A true Da Vinci of your craft.
My story starts in my adult life, where I blossomed from a awkward adolesant into one that was undeservingly treated like royalty because of the way he looked. One who drew in the eyes of everyone he passed by on the street. One who could come home from a bar with 14 new female phone numbers in a single night. Even spent time modeling in an exotic country. I became used to that attention, and as pitiful as it may sound, I even relished in it and then one morning I awoke, sometime last year when I was 28, I woke up and poof. It was over. No more celebrity like attention. Nothing. Nada. Went back to being a regular Joe. My weight didn't change. I wasn't invloved in a disfiguring accident. Had I aged overnight? I began to examine myself very closely and quite honestly I didn't see a difference. Perhaps a couple of new fine lines but nothing you could notice standing within 3 feet of me. Perhaps it was because now I have found my true love and female companion in life. I questioned. I pondered.
But the closer I began to look, the more flaws I began to see. Not changes that occured, but likely that I always had but was noticing now because I looked so closely. Perhaps its not the changes of aging that I cannot accept, but the changing role that I now play on this planet. Shallow or not, I miss who I was. Still I wonder if it is actually the contours of my face that have changed, or if there is some youthful spark in your eyes that goes out when you reach a certain point of maturity that no ammount of plastic surgery will recapture.
Can you restore me to my former glory? Or am I chasing something that is fruitless?

Fast Food French Fries

There is a wheat-derived component in a flavor added to the oil in which the fries are partially cooked before being frozen. The final product has been independently tested and found to contain no detectable gluten. Make you own decision. I eat them occasionally.
I have no knowledge of Sonic, and can't find a recent post here. In January 2010, someone said they shared the fryer with gluten products.

I hope it's not extra virgin, otherwise it goes rancid. EVOO can't take heat.
Elevation Burger fries nothing but potatoes (in olive oil).
Come to think of it, yes, they do fry other things in the oil. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a bit of chicken or something in my fries!

I, personally, will not eat anything (except for a frosty at Wendy's)at a fast food place, even if they have separate fryers, as I feel there is too great of opportunity for cross contamination. I wait and have my fries somewhere like Red Robin. There is far too much gluten flying around in those places, but, as I said, that is only my opinion.

Found this on thier website. However, as I remember the last one I went to, the fries were made in thier own area that you could see from the dining room. Its a very large and busy Red Robin, so maybe a smaller one would have a shared fryer. You should always ask.
Cap, last I checked not every Red Robin had a dedicated fryer. Has that changed?
"Seasoned Red Robin Steak Fries do not contain any wheat/gluten allergens; however, there is a risk they might be fried in a common fryer with the allergens you want to avoid."

O. Roy Chalk
Oscar Roy Chalk (June 7, 1907 – December 1, 1995) was a New York entrepreneur who owned real estate, airlines, bus companies, newspapers and a rail line that hauled bananas in Central America. His diverse holdings included DC Transit, Trans Caribbean Airways, the Houdon bust of Thomas Jefferson now at Monticello, the Chalk Emerald, and the New York Spanish-language newspapers El Diario de Nueva York and La Prensa, merging them into El Diario La Prensa. Chalk was born in London, England and emigrated to the United States at age three. He grew up in the Bronx where his neighbors included Ira and George Gershwin and Lou Gehrig. He graduated from New York University and its law school. He learned the real estate business and bought several apartment buildings. He started Trans Caribbean Airways in 1945 for $60,000, with two DC-4s. It was through the airline that in the mid 1960's he eventually purchased the 800-mile rail line, International Railways of Central America, that transported bananas in Central America. He later purchased a banana plantation which he owned for a time. Chalk sold his airline to American Airlines on March 3, 1971, in exchange for stock and became the single  ( Wikipedia article )

Job Training Partnership Act:
Labor Title IV Initiatives Could Improve Relations With Native Americans
HEHS-94-67: Published: Mar 4, 1994. Publicly Released: Mar 4, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Indian and Native American Job Training Program, focusing on the: (1) relationship between the Department of Labor and the Native American community with respect to the Native American employment and training program; and (2) extent to which Job Training Partnership Act funds are used to provide training services.
GAO found that: (1) over the past decade, relations between Labor and the Native American community have deteriorated; (2) the Native American community believes that Labor's management structure and insensitivity to Native Americans' needs contributed to the deterioration of its relationship with Labor; (3) Labor's issuance of new program regulations without the Native American community's cooperation has contributed to the increasingly confrontational relationship between Labor and the Native American community; (4) as a result of Labor's recent efforts to establish a new dialogue and partnership with Native American representatives, Labor withdrew the planned program changes and promised closer collaboration with Native American groups for additional changes; (5) 7 of the 182 Native American program grantees spent an average of 40 percent of their funds on training activities and the remaining funds on program administration, work experience, community service, and participant support activities; and (6) geographic isolation and poor economic conditions significantly affect how grant funds are spent on various program activities such as classroom training, work experience, or support services.

Michael Jackson may be spending less time going on Las Vegas shopping sprees and more time at his favorite gourmet restaurant, Taco Bell. That's if his former financial advisers are correct about his current net worth. In a lawsuit that comes to trial next month, the Union Finance and Investment Corporation, which is suing for fees it says the King of Pop has not paid, says Jackson is nearly bankrupt, and that his spendthrift ways have made his money woes into ''a ticking financial time bomb waiting to explode at any moment.''
The South Korean finance firm filed suit in April 2002 over work it had done for Jackson since 1988. The company seeks $12 million in fees plus interest and punitive damages. ''When they were retained, plaintiffs believed that Jackson was incredibly wealthy,'' the lawsuit says, according to the Associated Press. ''There was no clue that Jackson's extravagant lifestyle had all but bankrupted him.'' The firm's lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell, told AP, ''For whatever reason, Michael Jackosn is not paying his debts. He has little or no means of income. He lives off a line of credit.
Jackson attorney Brian Oxman disputed Union Finance's claim, saying Jackson had paid them in full. ''I see no signs of this impending disaster,'' he told AP. ''I cannot say it for 100 percent sure because nobody knows his financial statements. But I can say it for a reasonable certainty.'' The suit has a trial date of June 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

A pyrotechnic signal used by the Navy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Since such devices were controlled and employed by the ship's gunner, the term was selected as an appropriate name for a vessel designed to handle ordnance.
(ScTug: t. 103; a. 1 gun)
Blue Light--a screw tug laid down in 1863 by the Portsmouth (N.H.) Navy Yard--was launched on 27 February 1864 and fitted out to carry ammunition from magazines ashore to warships anchored far out in harbors where they would not endanger people and property on the waterfront. The little steamer was assigned to the Boston Navy Yard and operated at that base through the end of the Civil War, supplying ammunition to Union warships preparing for operations along the Confederate coast or on the South's inland waters. Following the collapse of the Confederacy, Blue Light continued to perform duty as an ordnance tug at Boston until 1870. From 1871 to June 1873, she served as a yard tug at the Washington Navy Yard.
Since no logs recording the vessel's operations before this time apparently up to this point are extant, Blue Light served the Navy in a non-commissioned status. The tug was placed in commission at Washington on 27 June 1873 and, the following day, sailed for the coast of Maine to perform special service under the United States Commissioner on Fish and Fisheries. At the end of this assignment, she arrived at Portsmouth, N.H., on 6 September 1873, and she was decommissioned there on the 13th.
Recommissioned on 12 June 1874, the ship proceeded to New London, Conn., for a tour of duty as a yard tug which lasted until Blue Light was decommissioned again on 30 September 1875 and laid up into 1879. No records of her status for the following four years seem to have survived, but we do know that the tug was sold at Great Neck, N.Y., on 27 September 1883.

This is the first installment in the DNA microarray series where I will introduce the technology and explain the basics of the technique to give you a quick immersion if you are new to the subject, and maybe a refresher if you are an old hand at it.
While humans contain about 25,000 genes, only a fraction of these are actively expressed as mRNAs at any one time. This makes sense, since if all the genes were expressed all at once, we would get a garbled stream of unstructured information. Just like forming words in a sentence, expression of the genetic code reflects the specific context and the exact message that needs to be stated.
When we talk, we structure our words into a specific string that forms a sentence. Sentences could be arranged into a paragraph, paragraphs into passages and so on. However, there must be a specific context and purpose to each sentence.
Similarly, specific genes are expressed under corresponding conditions to "update" the functional content of the organism, to respond to internal and external stimuli, resulting in growth, development, and survival. The set of all RNA molecules expressed in a cell at any given time, what it is "saying" at that time, is called the transcriptome.
The development of DNA microarray technology in mid 1990s allowed for the first time to simultaneously profile and study the transcriptome, in other words to study cells' real-time "chatter" in more detail. The technology exploited the very same principle that makes nucleic acid so essential to information storage: hybridization to complementary sequences.
Hybridization between the cDNA reverse transcribed from a biological sample to a pre-designed complementary DNA probe arranged on a slide, or array, is the basis of DNA microarrays. A microarray therefore consists of a pre-designed library of synthetic nucleic acid probes that are immobilized and spatially arrayed on a solid matrix. Microarrays evolved from a technique known as Southern blotting, where DNA fragments are attached to a substrate and then probed with a known gene sequence.
The first DNA arrays were constructed by immobilizing cDNAs onto filter paper. However, it was not until 1995 that the first DNA microarrays capable of analyzing thousands of sequences were constructed by "spotting", or attaching short synthetic probes to designated locations on the solid surface, usually glass or silicon chip (see Figure 1).
There are several ways that such spotted arrays can be produced. Some methods basically use a robot to "print" pre-designed probes that have been attached to fine needles onto a chemical matrix surface using surface engineering (examples include fine-pointed pins, needles and ink-jet printing). Other methods employ photo-activated chemistry and masking to synthesize probes one nucleotide at a time on a solid surface in repeated steps to build up probes of specific sequence in designated locations.
A basic protocol for a DNA microarray is as follows:
If we are trying to calculate relative expression between two samples, each labeled with a different dye (See figure 2, red for experiment, green for control), the resulting image is analyzed by calculating the ratio of the two dyes. If a gene is over-expressed in the experimental sample, then more of that sample cDNA than control cDNA will hybridize to the spot representing that expressed gene. In turn, the spot will fluoresce red with greater intensity than it will fluoresce green. The red-to-green fluorescence ratio thus indicates which gene is up or downregulated in the appropriate sample.
Figure 2: A typical DNA microarray co-hybridization (2 dye) experiment
Microarray technology propelled functional genomics, a discipline that strives to identify the role of genes in cellular processes, into the spotlight because it allowed functional analysis of genome-wide differential RNA expression between different samples, states and cell types to gain insights into molecular mechanisms that regulate cell fate, development, and disease progression. Microarray data is used to generate a profile of gene expression, which serves as a determinant of protein levels and therefore cellular function between biological samples. A single experiment can provide information on the expression on thousands of genes, virtually the entire human genome, to compare expression patterns between any two states. Microarray experiments can indicate which genes are up or down regulated between samples from normal and diseased tissue, or two samples in absence and presence or a certain stimuli. It is easy to see why this technology might be appealing for understanding complex biological systems as well as drug discovery, disease diagnosis, novel gene identification.
In the next installment in this Introduction to DNA Microarrays series, I'll discuss various types of Oligonucleotide expression arrays, how they are made and their common applications. Stay tuned…

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
