A KSPG electric water pump. Once the company had a single customer for this energy-efficient component—BMW— but with the advent of European CO2 emissions, the plant producing the pumps in Germany is running full out.
Dr. Gerd Kleinert, CEO of powertrain components supplier KSPG AG (kspg.com), recalls that the company's first customer for its electric water pumps was BMW. It was back in 2004. "We tried to sell this pump to everyone else in the world," he says. "At the end of the day, we didn't sell any." The electric water pump is more expensive than a conventional belt driven pump. Which is why others weren't interested in buying the electric water pump.
Because the output of a conventional belt-driven pump is predicated on the rpms of the engine, and because there are varying conditions, both environmental and under the hood, it is generally the case that the pumps are bigger than is probably necessary, given that they have to provide sufficient coolant pumping under all conditions (e.g., if there is a low engine speed yet high load and high external temperatures, then the pump still has to be able to provide sufficient output).

Swedish Student Selected to American National Floorball Team
Sport Popular in Europe, Described as 'Hockey without the Ice'
November 7, 2013
Patrick Dousa shows the lightweight stick he uses in floorball. The WC freshman made the U.S. National Floorball Team, which begins World Cup qualifying this winter.
Football, basketball and baseball are the big three sports in the United States. In Sweden, it's soccer, ice hockey and floorball.
Yes, floorball — "hockey without the ice" — is the craze from youth competition through senior leagues.
Patrick Dousa, a second-semester freshman majoring in marketing at Wilmington College from Stockholm, Sweden, recently earned a spot on the National Floorball Team, not Sweden's, but America's.
You see, he had the good fortune of being born in the United States before his family returned to Sweden.
Possessing dual citizenship, he met the nationality qualification, in addition to impressing a national team scout with his floorball skills during a tournament earlier this fall in Westchester, New York.
"My family is Swedish. I'm the only one with American citizenship," Dousa said, noting his family resided in Dallas until he was four years old. His father, Lars, Dousa, is a 1985 WC graduate. "My dad is an alumni here," he said. "He told me such good things about the school — he loved it here and so do I."
Dousa was especially pleased to learn the College already had eight Swedes when he arrived last January.
He explained he was "pretty late" to floorball as a youth, but, once he learned the game, he was hooked. "Like most Swedish children, I played soccer and also ice hockey, but when I saw my brother play floorball, I thought it was really cool."
He initially used floorball for off-season training for hockey.
"I tried to practice hockey in our basement, but I was really practicing floorbalI. I thought floorball was a lot more fun than hockey — plus I was better at it, so I chose it over hockey. I got my dribbling skills from hockey."
In Sweden, schools do not sponsor athletic teams as they do in the United States, so leagues in the major sports provide youth and teens with structured environments for training and competition.
Dousa continued to embrace the game and, as a 17-year-old junior player, a senior league team drafted him, which gave him an opportunity to compete with players predominantly 19 and older.
"That's when I got serious," he said.
Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Czech Republic constitute the upper echelon of floorball teams, Dousa added. It is a fall/winter season sport played on a semi-soft surface about two-thirds the size of a hockey rink with goals similar in size to that sport. The rubber ball is close to the size of a tennis ball.
He said the "fast game" features a contact level similar to that of soccer and only the goalie wears a mask.
"If you have indoor shoes and a stick, you're good to go," he said, noting his position is right forward, where he is expected to be a goal scorer.
Dousa has enjoyed explaining his sport to his American peers at WC, but the first question is how he's on the American team.
"Most don't understand why I have American citizenship, but they think it's cool I made the team — even if they don't really know much about what floorball is," he said.
Dousa said most of his national team counterparts, some of whom are of Swedish decent, reside in larger U.S. cities where they regularly play on floorball teams, so, since Wilmington is not one of those, he was encouraged to simply, "Stay in shape — come prepared." Indeed, he occasionally worked out this fall with the College's men's soccer team.
Dousa said his ultimate floorball dream would be for his American team to play Sweden in the biennial World Cup finals next December in Gothenburg, Sweden. But first the U.S. team must be successful in the qualifying rounds, which start this winter when Dousa and the team travels to Toronto to play the Canadian and Jamaican teams.
"It will be an honor to wear the American National Team's jersey," he said.

Happy Holidays from Everyone at Astoria Pointe!
Astoria Pointe is a residential drug and alcohol abuse treatment center for men suffering from chemical dependence, alcoholism and drug addiction.
Alcohol addiction is a serious affliction that affects your entire life. When a person becomes dependent upon alcohol, that person's reasoning is impaired and they may make terrible mistakes, such as driving while drunk. Unfortunately, the physical dependence on alcohol that accompanies the condition makes it nearly impossible to simply stop drinking. Seeking help from a rehabilitation facility is critical to helping a person with an addiction see the flaws in their thinking and begin making a healthy recovery. Some common myths about alcoholism include:
Drinking Isn't a Real Addiction
Because drinking is legal and socially acceptable, many people feel that alcohol is not the same as other drugs. However, alcohol addiction is just as real as any other drug addiction. Alcohol negatively affects the body and creates a physical dependency. Individuals who attempt to stop drinking on their own experience physical and mental withdrawal symptoms associated with all types of drug addiction.
Not Drinking Every Day Means You're Not an Alcoholic
It can be difficult to recognize alcohol addiction because drinking does not need to occur every day in order for it to happen. Many people labor under the misconception that if they don't drink every day, they cannot possibly be addicted. The truth is that an alcohol problem needs to be viewed as a whole. If drinking affects your work, your social life, or your family relations, then it is a problem and you need to seek help for rehabilitation.
Drinking Only Affects the Person Addicted
It can be difficult for alcoholics to see how their drinking affects their family, friends, and coworkers. They feel that no one has the right to tell them to seek rehabilitation and often resist attempts to help. A rehabilitation program or counselor can help them see how their problem affects all those around them and make them more open to the decision to quit.
Don't let misconceptions about alcoholism affect you or your loved one's decision to seek help. Astoria Pointe and The Rosebriar rehabilitation programs are here to help with the process of addiction recovery. Call us today at (503) 298-4393 or visit our website to find out how you can get help today.
Completing your rehabilitation program marks a big step towards recovery from addiction. Once you have left your rehab facility, however, it's just as important to maintain a positive outlook on life. Taking slow, small steps will help you rebuild your self-esteem.
Go Easy on Yourself
One of the most important things to remember after your rehabilitation program is that you will make mistakes. This is all right, but it's also not an excuse to spiral back into addiction. Give yourself a break and acknowledge that you may feel worried or depressed from time to time. It's important that you learn to manage stress positively and turn to friends, family, and counselors to help you through difficult times. Concentrate on addiction recovery as a long-term goal, rather than trying to live each day perfectly.
Take Note of Your Successes
While you shouldn't dwell on failure, remember that successes are worth celebrating. Simply graduating from your rehabilitation program is a big achievement! Don't let your recognition of success end there; take a moment to stop each day and consider the things you've done right. Remember times of positive progress and use them to reaffirm your faith in yourself. Feel free to share these times with family and friends, as they will be happy to celebrate with you every step of the way toward recovery.
Keep Active and Occupied
While you shouldn't eradicate downtime from your schedule, keeping yourself occupied can help minimize the desire to lapse back into drug or alcohol use. Scheduling 30-60 minutes of exercise a day strengthens your body and leaves you feeling great. Try joining a club, sports group, or other activity to meet new friends and replace drug use with positive social interactions. Branch out to new people, make new friends, and enjoy time with your old friends.
Rebuilding self-esteem is an essential part of the rehabilitation process. Astoria Pointe is here to help you with every step along the road to recovery. To find out more about our rehabilitation center for men, call us today at (503) 298-4393.
Recovering from addiction takes time, effort, and guidance. These resources can help you understand why 12-step programs are effective forms of treatment and learn more about dual diagnosis:
Do you or a loved one need help overcoming addiction? Astoria Pointe and The Rosebriar are live-in drug and alcohol treatment facilities that serve Oregon and Washington residents. Call us today at (503) 298-4393 to begin your recovery.
Though visiting a treatment facility is an excellent way to begin your drug and alcohol rehabilitation, you can't stay there forever. After you leave the treatment facility, a 12-step program can help you receive continuing support.
The Today's Step: Recovery app can provide you with inspirational materials, exercises, and advice that will help you focus on your recovery in small ways. Incorporating this encouragement tool into your everyday life can help you achieve your recovery goals.
This app can be an excellent follow-up to your treatment at Astoria Pointe or The Rosebriar. We provide substance abuse rehabilitation and dual diagnosis treatment for residents in Washington, Oregon, and elsewhere in the Northwest. Call us today at (503) 298-4393 to begin the path to recovery.

Peace, one and all…
Welcome to Abdur Rahman's Corner, my little corner of cyberspace.
Introducing Abdur Rahman
I'm an English Muslim, living in the Valleys of South Wales (UK), though I'm originally from Hackney in the East End of London. I live with my family in Merthyr Tydfil, one time engine of the British Industrial Revolution and a former stronghold of the workers' rights movement.
I've been a paid-up, card carrying member of Islam since 1998, though I've been interested in things Islamic since the early '90s. I'm deeply fascinated by the religious traditions of the world in general, and by Islam in all its forms in particular. Like most converts, I've moved through many different groups. I've come to realise that I love the diversity of the Islamic tradition, and that I dislike narrow-mindedness in any form.
Broadly speaking, I am a Sunni Muslim, though with a deep interest in the Shi`a tradition. I am a part of the Threshold Society and the Mevlevi tariqa. My aim in writing this blog is to learn: about God, about myself and about this strange thing called life. As intention is fundamental to any spiritual growth, I've written some thoughts on this topic.
Abdur Rahman (which, incidentally, means 'Servant of the Merciful') is the name I chose when I became a Muslim some years ago. Although name changes are a common feature of the conversion experience, it is not a necessary requirement within Islam. However, in my own case, my choice of this particular name is purely aspirational; I would like to one day become a true servant of God.
Why Islam?
My path to Islam was, by any stretch of the imagination, a gradual affair. In any case, my Islam was the result of a growing realisation of the centrality of God. Or, in rather less grandiose language, my eventual understanding of what Allah had always been trying to tell me! Or, once again, it was my awareness that I wanted God to be central to my life: the steering wheel and not just the spare tyre, as a song I once owned put it!
Although I took my time to investigate the teachings of Islam, I don't think there was really any competition. Somehow, I think I always knew that I would eventually become a Muslim! Coming from the East End of London, I've always known Muslims (probably even before I was aware of what Islam was) and of these, some have been especially influential. As I learned more, I was always struck by the ennobling qualities of Islam: wherever Islam has put down roots, it has produced generous, warm, just and committed individuals.
Theologically, Islam just seemed to speak directly to me. It is simple to understand in its essentials, but not simplistic. It has a straightfoward and clear understanding of God and although some have commented that the God of the Quran is so high as to be distant, this is definitely not how I have experienced it.
The role and function of Muhammad (alaihi al-salatu wa al-salam) is also clear and easy to understand within Islam. Though a Prophet of God, he is indelibly human.
Islam has always struck me as radically life-affirming: there is no compulsion in faith; mankind has been born free under God; the middle path of tolerance, compassion and understanding is the only sane way to navigate the paths of this world. I try to embody the teachings of Islam in my life, though I am a faulty human being and I often make mistakes. And to God return all things…
Education & Career
By trade, I'm a teacher, tutor and student support worker. I have a deep and passionate interest in education. Learning is a fundamental part of human nature and a basic human right. To that end, I completed a PGCE in post-compulsory education and training in 2005 at Coleg Sir Gar. I began my own studies through an access course at City & Islington College in London in the mid-90s, and it was there that I first came to see just how hard teachers work.
I'm a historian by inclination and training (to which end I have another blog – the Islamic History Corner). I hold a BA in History from Lancaster University and an MA in Ancient History from the University of Wales Lampeter. My academic interests lie mainly within Ancient, Early Medieval and Islamic History. In particular, I'm deeply fascinated by the religious, social, political, cultural and intellectual history of the Ancient Middle East, Rome, Greece and Europe. I am especially interested in the historical development of Islam.
I am also an amateur poet, though I leave others to decide the merits of my work themselves. That said, you can find my collected poetry at The Corner Reloaded.
Well, that's quite enough about me. In closing, let me offer this beautiful prayer of the Mevlevi Order, entitled The Rose Prayer:
'May this moment be blessed. May goodness be opened and may evil be dispelled. May our humble plea be accepted in the Court of Honour; May the Most Glorious God purify and fill our hearts with the Light of His Greatest Name. May the hearts of the lovers be opened. By the breath of our master Mevlana, by the secret of Shams and Weled, by the holy light of Muhammad, by the generosity of Imam Ali, and the intercession of Muhammad, the unlettered prophet, mercy to all the worlds. May we say Hu, Huuu…'
Wa akhiru da'wana an il hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen
Ma'as salama,
Abdur Rahman

On August 16, 150 kids and young adults boarded a chartered flight out of Newark Liberty International Airport, bound for a nine-day adventure in San Francisco. For many, it was the first time they'd left their families or really traveled at all. For some, it may have been their last chance. All 150 had been chosen by Kids of Courage, a nonprofit organization based on Long Island, to attend its annual Summer Adventure Camp for chronically ill children.
Kids of Courage, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults with serious medical diagnoses, was founded three years ago by locals Ari Adlerstein (director), Stuart Ditchek, M.D. (medical director), and Howard Kafka (CEO). The company brings together chronically ill kids from the New York City area and across the world for year-round events, weekend trips, and larger adventure programs-all of which are offered at no cost to the children or their families. This summer's trip was the largest the group has ever organized.
About half of the children were from the New York metro area, as were most of the counselors and doctors. With a ratio of about three staff members to every one child, the total head count climbed to about 500 travelers. Among them were Raphael Greenfield, 14, of Rockland County, who was born with a rare, undiagnosed genetic disorder that left him with virtually no face, no ears, and a very small airway. He has a tracheotomy to assist his breathing and cochlear implants to help him hear. Another traveler was Izzy Possik, a 20-year-old Long Island resident who suffers from epidermolysis bullosa, a very rare genetic disorder that causes sloughing of skin and severe contractures of all extremities. Other campers suffered from disorders like muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and acute leukemia.
Because each child had severe medical needs-37 required in-flight oxygen, among other accommodations-they were accompanied by more than twice their number of medical staff and trained counselors. "This was the largest group we have ever traveled with, and many were the sickest and most disabled kids we serve," says Dr. Ditchek, a Brooklyn dad of five, who says Kids of Courage's staff has the most experience with medically supervised travel of any group in the world. Throughout the nine-day trip, staff members distributed about 1,200 doses of medicine per day (not including emergency medications)-an amount equivalent to the daily distribution at two children's hospitals.
Once they arrived in San Francisco, the group packed in trips to Six Flags Great Adventure, Raging Waters (California's largest water park), Alcatraz Island, California's Great America, the Exploratorium museum, and an Oakland A's game.
"It's a chance for them to see the world in a way they've never seen it before," Dr. Ditchek explains. "We want to normalize their lives through travel and help create normal social networks for kids that struggle with these issues. These kids don't always have regular friends or participate in regular activities because they spend so much time in the hospital or at home."
Adlerstein agrees. "If a kid is having a tough day in mid-December, he can call up a kid from the trip and talk, and he'll have the next trip to look forward to. These trips give them the courage to live throughout the year." He also stresses that these trips serve the dual purpose of providing a respite for the children's parents. "It takes a lot of work to care for these children. A lot of these kids have never left their homes before, so these families don't get vacation time," he explains. "During these trips, they can take time, focus on their families and their spouses, and enjoy some well deserved down time."
For Adlerstein, an especially memorable moment from the trip came during the group's "talent show" on the last night, when many of the kids took to the stage to sing, perform, or just say a few words. Adlerstein remembers the bravery of one participant who got up to read a poem he wrote, despite his severe stutter. "It took him quite a while to get through those four lines, but he felt comfortable because he knew we all understood," Adlerstein says. "It meant the world to me for these kids to feel so comfortable in their own skin."
Ditchek remembers another special moment at the airport in San Francisco, when a camper in a wheelchair accidentally bumped into a woman carrying an expensive bottle of wine she'd just purchased, which smashed to the floor. Ditchek offered to buy her another bottle, but the woman refused, saying it was a blessing to be introduced to such a beautiful child in that way. "That's what it's all about," Ditchek says. "We choose travel because we want these kids to see the world, but we also want the world to see them."

First National of the Gulf Coast was started with the idea that it wanted to be paperless, not only for efficiency but also as part of its legacy as an institution and corporate citizen. The Naples, Fla.-based bank did not want to be saddled with any legacy systems and chose technologies that would take it 10 years into the future. Imaging is at the core of all the ancillary automation it deployed. Each solution supports the philosophy of being totally paperless.
The Paperless Customer Experience
More than 50 percent of the banks customers receive bank statements digitally, and that number is growing daily. The customers love this technology. New customers are automatically enrolled in e-statements and Internet banking. There are no cabinets in the bank, no large file drawers, no library of three-ring binders full of documents. The only paper the bank holds are documents like titles or notes. Areas that were normally known for producing large quantities of paper, like loan processing and finance, have image-scanning stations in their respective departments.
The bank leverages Internet banking, mobile remote deposit capture, image and document management solutions, and teller virtualization to increase organizational efficiency and customer value, all while reducing paper use. Any paper source ends up as an image.
Even U.S. Mail Is Paperless
The bank does not even distribute incoming paper mail. Incoming customer mail is scanned and sent to the individual. If it needs to be shredded, it is deleted. If it needs to be kept (part of a loan file or deposit relationship), it is commited to the document management platform and is archived in the banks image solution. Any document that is a paper source ultimately ends up as an image, including incoming paper mail.
Paperless Branches
The Synergy Enterprise Content Management platform enables FNB of the Gulf Coast to securely capture, retrieve, store and distribute electronic documents, check images and report data. This solution supports virtually all types of electronic information, including reports, scanned images, PDFs, photos, sound files, application documents such as Microsoft Word and Excel, and essentially any electronic file that is in an industry-standard format. Because of this solution, there is no paper exchange in the banks branches.
Normally, customers give their checks and paper deposit slips to the teller to process. When First Nationals customers come to the line with a paper check, the teller creates a virtual deposit slip for them. Likewise, forgetting deposit slips is no longer an issue. Customers just bring identification and tellers create digital deposit slips for them.
Similarly, capturing images at the teller line minimizes the need for corrections after the fact. For example, lets say a customer thought he added 10 checks for $5,000, but it was really $500. In the past, the customer would get a correction of deposit a day or two later, which would cause a great deal of customer angst. In the virtual environment, deposit items are balanced immediately and the customer gets a receipt for those items at the bank, so there are no surprises a day or two later.
Electronic Workflow
As opposed to having daily reports printed out each day, the banks executive management reports are emailed and archived digitally each day. No one has to print anything to review documentation. For compliance reasons, many documents have to be reviewed and signed. The bank has automated and digitized those processes so that electronically each document shows who reviewed it, when and annotated with a digital sign-off. The Jack Henry system allows personnel to embed notes in the documents as well. A workflow that could take days or weeks now takes 20 minutes to complete.
The banks regulators love this paperless environment also. Instead of teams of people running around with boxes of paper for auditors to review, the bank gives auditors seven terminals, full review authorization of the systems, 10 minutes of tutorial and they have everything they need. The auditors never say, show me the authorization page for this or bring me the binder where you keep the minutes from the board reports. Every single document they need is searchable in the archive and as easy to find as doing a Google search.
Additional Green Initiatives
1. First National is part of the citys recycling program. It sorts all paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metal from general trash.
2. It supports a green IT environment. The computer room and COLO facility utilize virtualization technology corporate-wide for a 30 percent savings in utility and maintenance support.
3. It supports remote access to work from home. This not only allows it to be flexible with its most precious resource its employees but it also gives the bank the ability to have resources available as needed.
4. It currently supports a green environment company-wide by encouraging and educating staff to use electronic media instead of printing paper. First National also has a facilities department that uses energy-saving lighting elements to help decrease its electrical needs. This works in conjunction with lighting systems that turn on and off automatically as rooms are occupied.
Peter Setaro is executive vice president and chief information officer of First National of the Gulf Coast, Naples, Fla.

Are there good (and preferrably free) vulnerability scanners for Windows?
Please don't suggest update checkers - I know about Secunia PSI, FileHippo and CNET checker.
Secunia PSI 1.5 used to do exactly what I need, but in latest version it regressed to a mere update checker, and would not report vulnerability unless there is a patch for it (browser extensions show up in secure browsing page, but vulnerabilities of other applications are not shown at all if there is no patch yet). That is not want I need - I would like to know about a problem even if there is no solution yet, so I would avoid using the program, uninstall it, apply workaround, etc.
Is there anything comparable to old PSI?

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of internal, alpha-peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which the sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue at the active center acts as a nucleophile.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a DED domain (death effector domain) of a protein, a homotypic protein interaction module composed of a bundle of six alpha-helices that is related in structure to the death domain (DD).
Increases the activity of an enzyme.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protease or peptidase.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of myoblast fusion.
Any process that activates or increases the activity of an enzyme.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB signaling.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of activity of the transcription factor NF-kappaB.
The hydrolysis of proteins into smaller polypeptides and/or amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds.
Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of a necroptotic process, a necrotic cell death process that results from the activation of endogenous cellular processes, such as signaling involving death domain receptors or Toll-like receptors.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of satellite cell proliferation.
A process, occurring in skeletal muscle, that is characterized by a decrease in protein content, fiber diameter, force production and fatigue resistance in response to different conditions such as starvation, aging and disuse.
The developmental sequence of events leading to the formation of adult skeletal muscle tissue. The main events are: the fusion of myoblasts to form myotubes that increase in size by further fusion to them of myoblasts, the formation of myofibrils within their cytoplasm and the establishment of functional neuromuscular junctions with motor neurons. At this stage they can be regarded as mature muscle fibers.
The regrowth of skeletal muscle tissue to repair injured or damaged muscle fibers in the postnatal stage.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the skeletal myofibril over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A skeletal myofibril is a myofibril specific to skeletal muscle cells.
A multi-organism process in which a virus is a participant. The other participant is the host. Includes infection of a host cell, replication of the viral genome, and assembly of progeny virus particles. In some cases the viral genetic material may integrate into the host genome and only subsequently, under particular circumstances, 'complete' its life cycle.

We study cellular stress responses that control activity of accurate and mutagenic DNA repair processes and cell fate decisions following DNA damage by carcinogenic chemicals and anticancer drugs.
Research Description
Research Theme: DNA repair, DNA damage and stress signaling
DNA is the principal target of the vast majority of human carcinogens. These genotoxic chemicals initiate the carcinogenic process by causing DNA damage that subsequently generates mutations through erroneous replication. DNA is also the main target of several classes of chemotherapeutic drugs that exploit the vulnerability of cancer cells to certain forms of DNA damage. It has recently become evident that the amount of the initial DNA damage is not always predictive of the biological consequences, such as cancer risk among exposed individuals or efficacy of chemotherapy. There are numerous cases when cancer cells acquire resistance to drugs without any decrease in the amount of drug-induced DNA damage.
Our main research efforts are directed at the characterization of biochemical and genetic factors that regulate resistance to DNA damage-induced cell death and susceptibility to mutagenesis. We are focused on:
(1) DNA damage surveillance mechanisms and their linkage to DNA repair, cellular signaling networks and cell cycle checkpoints. We are particularly interested in the role of mismatch repair proteins as sensors of DNA damage causing activation of stress responses.
(2) Mechanisms of cell death triggered by DNA-targeting anticancer drugs. One of our areas of interests is the determination of the differences in cell death programs between normal and cancer cells and exploitation of these differences in the optimization of anticancer therapy.
We are interested in two classes of DNA-reactive compounds:
(1) Metal complexes containing chromium (Cr) or platinum (Pt). Hexavalent Cr is a major environmental and occupational carcinogen with widespread human exposure due to its large-scale use in metal alloys and inorganic paints. Pt-based compounds, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, are the most commonly used class of drugs in cancer chemotherapy.
(2) Agents that cause covalent DNA-protein crosslinks. DNA protein crosslinking can be caused by endogenous and exogenous aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and others), as well as by bifunctional anticancer drugs (platinum-based drugs, mitomycin C and others). The biological role of DNA-protein crosslinks is poorly understood relative to smaller forms of DNA damage but these superbulky lesions are likely to act as potent inducers of large chromosomal rearrangements and cellular senescence (permanent growth arrest). Induction of a senescent state in cancer cells will terminate tumor growth whereas age-associated accumulation of senescence-promoting DNA-protein crosslinks can contribute to tissue aging and age-associated increases in cancer incidence.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Vagabond Opera was founded 10 years ago by European-trained opera singer and composer Eric Stern, who described the band's sound as "a hybrid of Eastern European cabaret, Arabic music, and jazz."The Portland-based band performs at 7 p.m. tonight at Mesa Theater & Lounge, 538 Main St."We draw from a lot of influences from around the world," Stern said.Stern, who plays piano and accordion, said he combined his background in opera with those other styles to create a "sheer, visceral power of the trained, naked voice to unleash on the audience a powerful experience.""It's opera liberated and reinvented for everyone," according to the band's website.The band is also comprised of upright bass player Drew Nelson, drummer and composer Mark Burdon, saxophonist Robin Jackson, Skip vonKuske on cello and Dr. Xander Gerrymander who is in charge of merchandising and stage theatrics. The group also includes both male and female vocalists and a range of guest artists that include, at times, belly dancers.Often referred to as a "bohemian cabaret," ensemble members dress in vintage attire as part of the act."People used to get dressed up for shows all the time," Stern said. "For us it's part of the aesthetic; it's in line with the music."The ensemble's repertoire includes "Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads," plus theatrics, according to the band's website.The Washington Post described the group as "a band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic." Vagabond Opera was also featured on National Public Radio. The group has released four full-length albums, and tours regularly across the United States, as well as Europe and Canada.Stern credits the band's home base of Portland for some of its success. "It's a very inspiring city - the water, the food, the artists there. It's a wonderful community of dancers, musicians, artists. We get together with one other," Stern said.

Functional Iron Man gauntlet fires lasers, pops enemy balloons
As I sit here wondering whether my effort to replace the keyboard on my laptop will end in tears, I'll point you to the latest creation of custom-props builder Patrick Priebe: It's a functioning Iron Man gauntlet that not only moves and lights up but also fires lasers powerful enough to burn objects and pop balloons. It's impressive, and would be ideal if you're ever attacked by the Mandarin … with balloons.
While the specs mean nothing to me — "full metal gauntlet, runs on 1x 18650 plus 2x 14500 Li Ion cells. 2 blue lasers on board, 1.2W each, plus 2 4mW for aiming" — I'm sure someone understands them. Check out the video demonstration below.

Confusion is the inability to think with your usual speed or clarity, including feeling disoriented and having difficulty paying attention, remembering, and making decisions.
See also: Dementia, for more information about chronic or long-term confusion.
Alternative Names
Disorientation; Thinking - unclear; Thoughts - cloudy
Confusion may come on quickly or slowly over time, depending on the cause. Many times, confusion is temporary. Other times it is permanent and not curable. It may be associated with delirium or dementia.
Confusion is more common in the elderly, and often occurs during a hospital stay.
Some confused people may have strange or unusual behavior or may act aggressively.
- Alcohol intoxication
- Brain tumor
- Concussion
- Fever
- Fluid and electrolyte imbalance
- Head trauma or head injury
- Illness in an elderly person
- Illness in a person with existing neurological disease such as a stroke
- Infections
- Lack of sleep (sleep deprivation)
- Low blood sugar
- Low levels of oxygen (for example, from chronic lung disorders)
- Medications
- Nutritional deficiencies, especially niacin, thiamine, vitamin C, or vitamin B12
- Seizures
- Sudden drop in body temperature (hypothermia)
Home Care
A good way to find out if someone is confused is to ask the person his or her name, age, and the date. If they are unsure or answer incorrectly, they are confused.
For sudden confusion due to low blood sugar (for example, from diabetes medication), the person should drink a sweet drink or eat a sweet snack. If the confusion lasts longer than 10 minutes, call the doctor.
A confused person should not be left alone. For safety, the person may need physical restraints.
To help a confused person:
- Always introduce yourself, no matter how well the person once knew you.
- Often remind the person of his or her location.
- Place a calendar and clock near the person.
- Talk about current events and plans for the day.
- Try to keep the surroundings calm, quiet, and peaceful.
For sudden confusion due to low blood sugar (for example, from diabetes medication), the person should drink a sweet drink or eat a sweet snack. If the confusion lasts longer than 10 minutes, call the doctor.

The dressing was fantastic! I served it on a salad over a Parmesan chicken breast. It was simple to make since you just needed one measuring spoon!

Another way to make a 8 bit type model is with tinkercad's mine craft export, and then cura's mine craft import, it makes the process fairly simple for a non surface modeler like myself.
Thanks for this great buddha mod! Actually, I would love to combine it with the original part, before the "downsampling". Could you post a link to the original STL, please?
It looks just like my minecraft creation. Definitely on my print list.
I suddenly feel like if I knelt down before it it would tell me to go pick up the pouch next...
Thanks to fredini (see comment below) for teaching me how to make things 8-bit.
Nice 1 Jason!

So what about the > larger bones of pigs or sheep? Are these two small to be worth the > effort or is there some reason this marrow isn't as good as veal or > beef? The short answer would probably be, some combination of both. Pork bones, and their marrow, can have a slightly sulfurous aspect to their flavor profile, which is why you [relatively] rarely find stock being made from fresh pork bones, unless it's being mixed with chicken bones, shrimp shells, etc. It's a popular meat for southern Chinese soups of a sort of country or family style, like real winter melon soup, which is a slightly different animal than the stuff you get in restaurants. I'm a heretic in this regard, and prefer the chicken or mixed pork, chicken and shrimp versions. My mother-in-law makes all- pork soups frequently, and all her children love them ("Mmmmm!!! Pork neck bones boiled in dishwater, improperly skimmed _and_ unseasoned!"), but I'm not really seeing the allure. I guess I'm spoiled, brought up by rich people (!) with questionable values, and generally a barbarian. As for sheep bones, well, you've pretty much got to like mutton and lamb to appreciate their marrow, which is basically fat anyway, and the thing that most mutton-avoiders seem to object to most is the flavor of the fat, so this is probably something that carries over into their view on the marrow of these animals. Also, as you mention, their marrow bones are smaller, and just as hard to saw through for somewhat less of a payday. I wouldn't be surprised, though, to find that I'm not the only one who passionately enjoys something like lamb shanks, fishing for the marrow when the meat is eaten. Adamantius "Most men worry about their own bellies, and other people's souls, when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's bellies." -- Rabbi Israel Salanter

It seems that if a virtual is satisfied by a "provided" package, the
virtual is not calculated properly.
For example, I put mail-mta/postfix-2.2.4 in package.provided and
remove ssmtp from my system. As it is, there is nothing to satisfy
virtual/mta on my system which is required by sudo. Here is an
lion ~ # emerge -pt app-admin/sudo
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p9
[ebuild N ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r1
However, if you explicitly state that virtual/mta is provided by
lion ~ # echo virtual/mta mail-mta/postfix >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals
lion ~ # emerge -pt app-admin/sudo
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p9
This, I think, is the *proper* way to work around what I consider to be
a portage bug.

Justice and the rule of law can be two entirely different things.
Many uninformed people out there, like the Dems that were rioting in LA last night.
zimmerman (lower case z deliberate) should have done what the 911 dispatcher said and not followed his victim. zimmerman is a hothead who was notorious in his community. Now he is free but so are homeless people. No company or business is going to hire him. They would not want it known that he works there, or he might pull some stunt on the job that would get the business in deep legal trouble.
about right,
Rule of law—-Courts.
What the evidence shows is that if Trayvon Martin acted differently, he'd be alive today and if George Zimmerman acted differently he may be dead today.
And if Zimmerman had stayed in the car they both would be alive today.
If Martin hadn't assaulted the "cracker" ………
Blacks don't want "justice." They want "revenge."
Not if both are practiced properly…
Put my main comment on this under Alacraz's cartoon, but this cartoon represents the direction I fear our nation is taking.
The justice system is the target of the mob's rage this time, but mob's targeted school buses in Boston in the 70's to protest integration, another targeted a bus full of blacks and jews on the Freedom Ride through the south. The list goes on.
A civil and respectful populace would give Mr. Arial no cartoon like this. He rightfully points his finger at the instigators and the mob alike.
Out institutions and democracy are not perfect, but as Mr. Churchill said, it's better than all of the types of gov't that preceded it."
"Zimmeran's innocent, case closed,"
No, they found him not guilty. There is a legal difference between innocent and not guilty.
So you didn't get what you wanted. So sad for you.
How many times have I seen someone comment "It is better to let the guilty go free than to convict one innocent person"?
Which is how the US system is set up. One is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. One has the right to confront the accuser in a court of law and be judged by a jury of peers.
The media has done everything in it's power to prejudice the public against Mr. Zimmerman. However, the prosecution had no proof to convict on 2nd degree murder or even manslaughter.
The jury followed the rules and the instructions given by the judge. They even asked for clarification of those rules in reference to the charge of manslaughter.
And still they came up with a verdict of not guilty.
And now the black community is giving themselves another hit in the eye by rioting. Throwing things through windows, beating up white bystanders, burning flags and so on.
Yep can't wait to see the insult of double jeopardy when the "civil" suit is filed.
A man in a truck,with a gun, follows a teen, then, with his gun gets out of his truck and follows him on foot.
the kid feels threatened and at some point the kid stands HIS ground. They fight, until the man finds he is losing the fight shoots the kid dead.
The police told him they "didn't need to follow the kid" and if he had done as the officer told him this would never have happened.
So we have a dead kid and a man walks free, with all his poor choices following him.
"Rule of law—-Courts."

Why It Makes More Sense to Dump Your Fossil Fuel Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sure, fossil fuel companies such as ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) have been smart investments for decades -- even for environmental groups who treat them like a secret addiction. But climate change is going to change that too.
In fact, it's divestment from fossil fuels that's the far smarter, safer move, according to a growing number of experts.
Late last month, Forbes featured an article that supported divestment in fossil fuel stocks not just as a viable financial strategy, but a necessary one. That's because though we have more than enough fossil fuel reserves worldwide to depend on for some time, it would come with a huge environmental cost.
Divestment hit the mainstream late last year when the environmental nonprofit 350.org, headed by writer and activist Bill McKibben, began advocating for it as a main angle of its climate campaign. In particular, 350.org touts divestment as a powerful tactic in urging fossil fuel companies to begin scaling back on extraction and replace their product with sustainable alternatives such as solar and wind power.The scientific consensus is that we have to leave untouched 80% of our coal, oil and gas reserves to keep average global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) -- the threshold for maintaining a stable climate. Yet according to the International Energy Agency, our emissions are already on a path that will increase average global temperatures between 3.6 and 5.3 Celsius (6.5 to 9.5 Fahrenheit) by the end of the century. The threat of catastrophic climate change and its effects -- flooding, drought and sea level rises -- make continued investments in fossil fuel stocks risky at best. Current fossil fuel reserves may be estimated to be worth as much as $28 trillion dollars, but Forbes contributor Logan Yonavjak warns of a carbon bubble.

Charlie Sheen reportedly trashed his suite at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City, and was hospitalized this morning for a psychiatric evaluation.
A law enforcement official tells the Associated Press that a woman had called police to the room at 2 a.m. saying that the Hollywood star was throwing furniture and yelling in his room. Sheen appeared drunk, the story says, and he willingly went to the hospital.
UsMagazine.com's reporting that Sheen's rep insists that he the actor had "an adverse allergic reaction to some medication." Sheen's "expected to be released tomorrow," the magazine says.
Police spokesman Paul Browne tells the AP that no complaints were made and that Sheen was not arrested. No criminal charges are expected.
For more details, see the AP story or just Google Sheen's name and "Plaza Hotel" and you'll likely find scores of stories, since it's spreading around the Internet.
Readers: Would you nominate Charlie Sheen to be included on the bad-hotel-guest list? Hotel staffers: Have you ever seen a celeb guest behave badly?
