Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Dyslipidaemia is more frequent in solid organ transplant recipients than in the general population. In order to reduce the overall cardiovascular risk in transplant patients lipid-lowering drugs, especially statins, have become widely used. However, the use of statins in transplant recipients taking cyclosporine A (CsA) results in significantly increased risk for statin induced side-effects such as myopathy and also rhabdomyolysis. Statin plasma concentrations are also increased several-fold and may be responsible for this increased risk. The other calcineurin inhibitor, tacrolimus (Tac), does not present such an effect on statin plasma concentrations during ordinary clinical use. AIM AND METHOD: The present study elucidated the in vitro cellular aspects and the mechanism of the pharmacokinetic interaction between atorvastatin (HMg-CoA reductase inhibitor) and the two calcineurin inhibitors, CsA and Tac. The inhibitory effect of CsA and Tac on cellular uptake of atorvastatin via the organic anion transporter polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) was investigated in an in vitro over expression whole cell model. RESULTS: Atorvastatin was shown to be transported via the OATP1B1 transporter since cellular uptake was higher in OATP1B1 transfected HEK293 cells compared to mock cells. Inhibition of cellular uptake of atorvastatin was observed with CsA in OATP1B1 transfected cells. No clear inhibition of cellular uptake of atorvastatin was however observed for Tac in the OATP1B1 model, at least not in the lower concentration range investigated. CONCLUSION: The present in vitro study indicates that the cellular uptake of atorvastatin is mediated by OATP1B1 transporters and that CsA inhibits this drug transport. Tac on the other hand did not interfere with cellular uptake of atorvastatin, at least not in the concentration range investigated in this thesis. The observed interaction between atorvastatin and CsA is in line with findings in previous clinical studies, however further investigations is necessary in order to further characterize these findings. |

Abstract: | The years from 1906 to 1915 were a pioneer period in Sami fiction literature. In this period Sami authors published in their own language the first poem, the first tale, the first novel and the first collections of poetry. Isak Saba's poem Sámi Soga Lávlla from 1906 marks the start of this period. The poem was first published in Sagai Muittalægje, a Sami newspaper edited by Anders Larsen, as a part of Saba's election campaign to the Norwegian parliament. Saba was elected in 1906 and then again three years later by an alliance of the Sami movement and the socialists in East- Finnmark. In 1911, after more than seven years, Sagai Muittalægje was shut down due to economic problems. The year after Anders Larsen published Bæivve-Alggo which is the first novel in the Sami language. In their fiction writing both Saba and Larsen, who were teachers, stressed the Sami's right to learn to read and write their own language and to develop their own culture and against the existing policy of norwegianisation. But not all of the sami's supported their aims. Matti Aikio, a sami author who wrote in Norwegian and who got his breakthrough among the Norwegians readers in 1906 with his novel I dyreskind, was most of his life in opposition to Saba and Larsen. How did their attitude towards Sami language and culture find expression in their fiction writings and what can explain the difference between these Sami authors? |

Abstract: | Hensikten med denne oppgaven er å få økt kunnskap om bruk av oksytocin som ristillende medikament. Derfor ønsket vi å undersøke hvor ofte oksytocin benyttes som ristillende medikament, og på hvilken indikasjon, samt om det er noen endring i bruk i forhold til en tilsvarende studie utført av E. Blix ved Hammerfest sykehus i perioden 1996-2000. Materiale og metode: Oppgaven ble begrenset til alle fødende ved Hammerfest sykehus i en 1 års periode, fra 1.mars 2009 til 1.mars 2010 (n= 449). Flerlingfødsler, setefødsel, intrauterin fosterdød, induksjon av fødsel og keisersnitt før fødselens start ekskluderes (n= 145). Dette etterlot 304 fødsler for analyse. Funn: Stimulering med oksytocin ble utført i 40,8 % (n=124) av fødslene. Oksytocin ble gitt til 54,0 % av førstegangsfødende og 23,3 % av flergangsfødende. Indikasjoner for stimulering med amniotomi, oksytocin eller oksytocin og amniotomi var 9 % primær risvekkelse, 53,5 % sekundær risvekkelse, 0,5 % annet. For 38 % av de som fikk ristimulerende tiltak var det ikke oppgitt indikasjon. Konklusjon: Det er ikke signifikant økning i bruken av oksytocin som ristimulerende medikament (p=0,4489 for førstegangsfødende, og p=0,5134 for flergangsfødende) Det har ikke skjedd noen endring i bruk av oksytocin ved Hammerfest siden E. Blix sin studie i 1996-2000. |

Abstract: | The small master thesis is dedicated to the problem of coastal states' jurisdiction over their marine biological resources, the challenge of ratio between states' sovereignty and international obligations on conservation management and human rights (collective indigenous peoples' rights to fishery) and a sustainable use of marine living resources. The basic reason for the conservation policy is the environmental destruction. The aim of this thesis is threefold. Firstly, it analyzes and discusses in what manner international law limits state sovereignty with respect to nature conservation and fishery in the territorial waters. Secondly, it analyses state obligations due to international standards vis-à-vis indigenous peoples' fishing rights. This includes both rights to fish and procedural aspects related to the management of fisheries and traditional knowledge. Thirdly, the thesis illustrates how these recognized international obligations have been interpreted by domestic law by briefly describe relevant aspects of Russian law. |

Abstract: | The main purpose of this paper is to illuminate two types of unwanted traffic in a publish/subscribe system -- malicious (spam, DoS attacks) and vain (unused events) -- and suggest a general mechanism for minimizing their effects. We do this by augmenting the classic publish/subscribe interface with volume-limiting parameters -- a combination of attributes assigned to events by publishers and thresholds specified by subscribers -- and consider the implications of this interface on the unwanted traffic and on the routing infrastructure. Notably, we observe that this mechanism can minimize unwanted traffic without total access control if the routing substrate supports two properties: flow control and routing integrity. |

Abstract: | Events injected by publishers into a publish/subscribe system may reach users through a variety of devices: a stationary desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc. We argue that the "last hop" -- from the network to the output device -- has unique properties, owing to the mobile nature of these devices, and as such demands special consideration. In particular, user's preferences and location may limit what should be forwarded to a device. Furthermore, technological constraints, such as network bandwidth availability and battery power, suggest that the decision when to forward messages is also important for optimizing user's experience. We describe a new publish/subscribe system with volume-limiting mechanisms and explain how user preferences, context, and device constraints can be accommodated in such a system. Notably, based on results of simulations, we propose a simple algorithm for low-cost "prefetching" of notifications to mobile devices in cases when network bandwidth is insufficient. |

Abstract: | This article describes an architecture that allows a replicated service to survive crashes without breaking its TCP connections. Our approach does not require modifications to the TCP protocol, to the operating system on the server, or to any of the software running on the clients. Furthermore, it runs on commodity hardware. We compare two implementations of this architecture – one based on primary/backup replication and another based on message logging – focusing on scalability, failover time, and application transparency. We evaluate three types of services: a file server, a web server, and a multimedia streaming server. Our experiments suggest that the approach incurs low overhead on throughput, scales well as the number of clients increases, and allows recovery of the service in near-optimal time. |

Abstract: | The aim of the PhD study was to use planktic foraminifera to elucidate paleoceanographic variability and the preservation state of calcium carbonate in the eastern Fram Strait throughout the last 30,000 years. Sediment cores were studied using a multiproxy approach which included analyzing planktic and benthic foraminiferal fauna distribution patterns, measurements of stable isotopes (δ18O, δ13C), grain size analysis, IRD counts, and chemical analysis of bulk sediment. In addition, mean shell weight records combined with fragmentation indices were applied. Three time periods representing important oceanographic changes in the Fram Strait were investigated with a high temporal resolution. The results show that the Atlantic water inflow governed the oceanographic development and had an important influence on the preservation state of calcium carbonate in the Fram Strait. The best preserved planktic foraminifera assemblages during the last 30,000 years were found during the Last Glaciation Maximum. Some minor dissolution events occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum as response to seasonally changing physical oceanographic parameters, sea ice formation, increased surface productivity, and melt water pulses. During the deglaciation and the Holocene, the preservation state of carbonates generally deteriorated. This trend was interrupted at 10,800-8000 BP, where the preservation of planktic foraminifera markedly improved. Changes in preservation are related to the extent and influence of the Arctic water and the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and its associated high organic productivity in the surface waters. During the last century, the preservation of small subpolar species improved. This coincided with distinctly increased sedimentation rates in the eastern and central Fram Strait. This study of planktic foraminifera preservation has shown that carbonate dissolution is a common phenomenon in the Fram Strait and should be considered in paleoreconstructions based on planktic foraminifera fauna. |

Abstract: | Today there is much debate about why telemedicine has stalled. Teleradiology is the only widespread telemedicine application. Other telemedicine applications appear to be promising candidates for widespread use, but they remain in the early adoption stage. The objective of this debate paper is to achieve a better understanding of the adoption of telemedicine, to assist those trying to move applications from pilot stage to routine delivery. |

Abstract: | This thesis focuses on the interaction of so-called indigenous and Euro-American healing traditions in one of the most formal institutional settings: the hospital. The setting for this study is the Canadian Prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and the main indigenous population are Plains First Nations. In the study I wish to discover if indigenous healing practices are able to adapt to a setting that is so central to the definition of settler states. I do so within a broader perspective that sets healing within a study of the decolonization process. The main argument is that part of the road to healing lies through the official institutions of the Canadian medical system and that it involves decolonization process for both the indigenous and the dominant society. The thesis asks why are hospitals settings being chosen today as the places to establish indigenous healing services and practices? To answer this question the thesis employs qualitative interview data and a reading of the literature. One of the key answers is that the hospital context permits the community of biomedical practitioners and the indigenous healers to interact. On the one hand, this interaction is seen as an important step for the revalorization and formal recognition of indigenous knowledge, and as determinant for the preservation and survival of it. On the other hand the field research shows that aboriginal patients feel extremely vulnerable when hospitalized and that the integration of indigenous healing within hospitals would improve the quality health care. Despite these strong answers, the project remains explorative. The conclusions show that there is no simple answer for how these two traditions can come together. One of the main reasons is that this process of implementation is at the very beginning. It shows as well that not all healers think that this is a good idea, and are worried about the expropriation and integrity of the knowledge. Some questions remain inconclusive and further research will be necessary in order to give further answers |

Abstract: | The theme for the master thesis is simulation of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. I have shown that the energy of the velocity field is decaying in time, but the comparison to the reference solution is however invalid, due to the fact that the reference solution may have scalings that are not obvious to the observer, and that my own simulation results seemed to behave quite strange, with a sudden fall of energy in the first time-steps, which I have no explanation for why happened. The thesis consists of a rather large theory section and a smaller discussion in the end. Chapters 3 and 4 are mainly introductory and addressing the theme and job description. They also serve as mild introductions to tuirbulence theory as well as mathematical, numerical subjects. Overall, the reader is assumed not to be very familiar with mathematical terms, applied mathematics and physics, so many terms are explained. The provided theory is designed to teach a reader totally unfamiliar with science some things, but not all. The author has not forgot about the experienced reader who may be an expert in the field, and the level of the thesis should be high enough for that person also to maintain interest while reading. |

Abstract: | Human Rights organizations have a history in fighting against violations and issues that are affecting the individuals, groups and nations worldwide, however, constant challenges faced by such organizations proved to delay effective advancement in access to human rights. The research aims at tackling the challenges from the standpoint of a necessary change in the organizational perception of campaigning systems to improve performance and achieve significant outcomes. The research proposes the inclusion of new technological trends of engagement that proved effective and resourceful in other sectors. The motivations underlying the behavior of human beings are influenced by the tendency to satisfy psychological needs, such as self-achievement, meaning, recognition, status and altruism. The research will discuss the psychological motivations behind people's engagement in online activities and extend them to explain why gamification and crowdsourcing harnessed success and why such methods would be significant adaptations for campaigning in human rights. Case study methodology was adopted for this research to examine campaigns of human rights organizations that used gamification and crowdsourcing techniques, where data pertaining to the cases have been collected from the concerned websites and other reliable social media and networking online resources. The findings revealed a positive impact from applying gamification and crowdsourcing in the two selected cases, translated in the raised funds, awareness levels, contribution, participation and interaction. The outcome of this research will help identify what the expectations of people are when they logon into their social profiles and will consequently; assist human rights organizations in selecting the components of their campaigns and various engagement elements according to the interests of the targeted users of social platforms. |

Abstract: | The AIDS epidemic has been recognized as the most pressing national health problem in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Zenebe argues that HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Ethiopia are not producing expected results because they are not based on understanding the distinctive characteristics of the people's sexual cultures shaped by relations of power, by history, and by differentiated traditions within the particular society. The focus of the thesis is on how dominant medical discourses about prevention and treatment of the HIV/AIDS pandemic intersect with ideas emerging from local traditions, religious norms, as well as notions of sexuality and gender. The study shows that the dominant 'scientific' construction of the HIV/AIDS problem is often met with resistance by the women and men that are the target groups for the disease prevention programs. The thesis concludes that HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Ethiopia need to give attention to the phenomenon of sexuality, and the way it is shaped and constrained by factors including the complex and unequal relationships between men and women, rich and poor, and between North and South. |

TOLOKONKA, Russia: The geologists are digging in the bed on the western bank of what was once a 700-800 kilometre-long lake along the 62nd parallel in Russia. Large lakes, dammed up by a huge ice sheet one or more times during the last Ice Age, used to dominate this enormous plain.
DIGGING: One of the geologists, Maria Jensen, is digging into an old lake bed, searching for past changes in climate. Here she is in the long Tolokonka cutting beside the River Dvina.
EXPLAINING: A geology student, Hilde Krogh (right), is receiving advice from Maria Jensen before she starts work in the riverbank.We are just beyond the ice margin from the maximum of the last Ice Age, where it has been mapped 100 kilometres north of the town of Kotlas in north-western Russia.
Here, at Tolokonka, in a four kilometre-long cutting beside the River Dvina, an international team of scientists is busy studying the past changes in climate.
MAP: The blue arrow marks where some of the fieldwork this summer has taken place."Lakes have probably been situated here in two periods during the last Ice Age. We've found river delta deposits which suggest that the oldest lake formed some 65 000 years ago," Eiliv Larsen, a geologist at the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), tells me.
He is in charge of fieldwork being done in Russia as part of the SciencePub project during the International Polar Year. Along with colleagues from NGU, the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) and Herzen University in St. Petersburg, he is continually finding new pieces to fit into the last Ice Age jig-saw puzzle.
The enormous lake stretched from Kotlas in the west to the village of UstNem in the east, just a few tens of kilometres from the Ural Mountains. Last year, the scientists found remnants of a lake near UstNem. Now, the same lake has been found 700-800 kilometres further west, in the long cutting at Tolokonka. The mighty River Dvina, meandering north-westwards through the flat landscape to Archangel, dominates this region today.
"We're trying to find out just what these lakes have looked like. Where did the sediments come from and how did the lakes influence the environment and the climate in the region? Even though we're just beyond the ice margin, we're finding traces of the snout of a glacier that calved into the lake from the north. This probably took place around 20 000 years ago and this was the youngest lake in the region," says Eiliv Larsen.
The scientists also tell me that it is very interesting to find out what took place when the ice finally melted, the dams burst and the enormous volumes of dammed up fresh water poured into the Arctic Ocean. This must have had consequences for the climate system and the oceanic circulation, for example.
"We ourselves are urged on by curiosity. When we started working in these parts of Russia 12 or 13 years ago, very little research had been done on the Ice Age. The results of our work now form part of the framework which climate researchers are using to calculate the future climate," says Eiliv Larsen.
He generally uses a keyhole as a metaphor. "From a distance, you see hardly anything of the inside of the room, but the closer you manage to put your eye to the keyhole, the more of the room becomes apparent. It's the same with the research here in north-western Russia, we're uncovering more and more of the Ice Age history and hence the past climate changes," he says.

BioWare will be working with Australian developers Straight Right for the Wii U port of Mass Effect 3.
BioWare will be bringing Mass Effect 3 to Nintendo's Wii U, and it will have help from Australian developers Straight Right.
Straight Right are known for their work on Shift 2: Unleashed for iOS.
It was first rumoured that Straight Right's sister company Tantalus Media would be working on Mass Effect 3, but a post on Straight Right's Facebook page, confirmed that it is in fact Straight Right working with BioWare.
Of course, as there is no release date for the Wii U, there is also no release date for Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, but we at least know it's happening.
Would you play Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U after playing it on another console?

I'm a father, husband, and medical doctor. I've become more interested in preparedness issues since spending 3 weeks in Haiti after the earthquake in January of 2010. It really opened my eyes to how unprepared I was for any sort of disaster.
I started learning. I built up some food storage, started storing water, and made emergency kits for my family.
I also started studying economics, environmental science, and energy resources and how they relate to my personal health and well-being. I came to understand the foibles of Keynesian economics and deficit spending. I fell in line with the Austrian school of economics.
I also believe the environment is in trouble due to pollution, industrial agriculture, over-population, and over-exploitation of, well, everything: forests, fisheries, arable land, mineral resources, energy resources, and fresh water supplies.
I started to think about the ramifications of "peak oil." It's unlikely that the world will have more energy in 20 years than it has today as oil reserves deplete. This will change the world as we know it.
I concluded that the government is corporat-ized and that I can't rely on them to "not screw up" or look out for the interests of the average American. The wars seem unending, the debt is un-payable, the middle class is shriveling, and globalist, socialist elites are running amok. They aren't coming to anybody's rescue but their own.
I was very frustrated. I wanted to change things, but I'm just one guy. I felt powerless.
I resolved to do what I could. I wanted more resilience in my lifestyle. If I couldn't make my voice heard in Washington, I wanted to make things better around me.
So I went on a bit of an earthy, foodie, back to the land, hippie kick. I planted an orchard, started raising chickens, kept bees, and experimented with different gardening techniques. I repaired the little patch of depleted dirt that I live on. I liked it. I connected to the soil, the bees, the trees…even the weeds. Well, maybe not the weeds.
I like the "permaculture" approach. Local food production is better. We need less packaging, marketing, preservatives , and pesticides in our food. I support community centered agriculture.
I'm not a survival "nut." There's plenty of those on the web. I don't think that preparing for some sort of Mad Max, when the SHTF, or TEOTWAWKI scenario is the best use of my time or resources.
I believe in the right to bear arms, but I don't ascribe to a bunker mentality. I don't think civilization will decay in a day, but I'm not going to stick my head in the sand either. Suffice it to say, I refuse to be a victim. I will protect myself and my family.
I believe we are here to live, learn, love, and grow, but civilization is not easy. The present reality in politics, the economy, energy, and resource depletion should concern every civilized person. Indeed, the next 20 years may test our humanity and community spirit.
Although a lot of people try, no one can tell us exactly what to do. There's no blueprint for the future. We can take history as our guide, however. Human nature does change after all. We can look for the most likely scenarios and prepare.
I want to be educated, practical, helpful, and resilient. The goal of my website is to arm you with good information and resources so you can do the same.

Evaluation of Restoration Techniques in Black Belt Prairie Remnants
JoVonn G. Hill, John A. Barone, and Lisa McInnis
Prior to European settlement, the southeastern United States had several regions with abundant grasslands or prairies. One such region, called the "Black Belt", extends in an arc from McNairy County, Tennessee, southeast to Russell County, Alabama. Instead of being a continuous swath of grasslands, the Black Belt was a heterogeneous landscape of prairies and several types of forest. Surveys conducted by the General Land Office in the 1830's suggest that in the Black Belt region of Alabama and Mississippi, prairies once covered about 144,000 hectares. Since that time, more than 99% of these prairies have been lost to agricultural and urban development. Remaining prairies are threatened by further development, erosion, and the encroachment of eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana L. The Mississippi Natural Heritage Program gives Black Belt Prairie remnants a ranking of S1, meaning they are "critically imperiled" within the state due to extreme rarity or other factors that make their biota vulnerable to extirpation.
The Natchez Trace Parkway intersects the Black Belt in Chickasaw, Lee, and Pontotoc Counties in northeast Mississippi. Along the Parkway, small prairie remnants and scattered populations of prairie plants still occur. A significant threat to these remaining prairies is the spread of eastern red cedar, which has invaded most remaining prairies sites, presumably due to a reduction in natural fires. Parkway managers are considering supplementing a prescribed fire program with other techniques to remove cedars, such as hand-thinning. This procedure should accelerate the restoration process by increasing sunlight and encouraging the regeneration of the prairie flora. However, the financial costs and ecological benefits of hand-thinning, both alone and with prescribed burns, are not yet known.
To evaluate the effectiveness of different management strategies in the restoration of prairie remnants, an experiment will be established along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The experiment will have four treatments: 1) a burn treatment, in which remnant sites will be burned to decrease the density and growth of eastern red cedar; 2) a hand-thinning treatment, in which cedars trees will be cut down and removed; 3) a combination treatment in which the cedars will be cut and left in place and then the remnant burned; and 4) a control, in which there will be no active restoration. There will be multiple replicates of each treatment.
Cut cedars that were left in place, then burned
The restoration value of these differing management strategies will be evaluated based on changes in the plant, ant, and grasshopper communities. These three taxa are appropriate for evaluating the efficacy of the restoration experiment for several reasons. First, all three groups are locally diverse and include species that are largely or exclusively found on remnant prairies in this region. Second, the composition of these three communities is quite well-known for Black Belt prairies. Third, the three groups represent different trophic levels and have a variety of ecological roles. By examining these three groups simultaneously, the experiment will be able to assess the effectiveness of the different strategies more broadly.
Cut cedars that were left in place, then burned
The reclamation or restoration of these particular prairie remnants is important given the imperiled nature of this habitat and the high visibility and educational opportunities that the Natchez Trace Parkway offers. Currently, there is a roadside pull-off on the Trace called the "Black Belt Overlook". The view and interpretive sign here indicate the important agricultural aspects of the region. One of the remnants to be treated will be across the road from this pull-off, and will offer a unique opportunity to educate the public on the natural heritage of this region.
2009: Plot set up and pre‑treatment sampling begins.
Winter of 2009/2010: Thinning treatments applied during the. Burning was put off due to prolific rain
2010: Sampling continues
Spring 2011: Burn treatment applied. Sampling ant, grasshopper and plants continue.

There are a number of ways to kick-start your involvement with Wi-Fi, depending on your current business situation, your level of technical proficiency and your ultimate goals for your business:
1. Leverage your planned or existing location. If you currently own (or plan to own) a business that provides a high-traffic, high-loitering location (such as a coffee shop, a barbershop or a laundromat) you can add Wi-Fi services to enhance your core business, generate incremental sales and increase traffic to your location. With today's many pre-configured access points (including Boingo's Hot Spot in a Box), going wireless is as easy as getting a DSL or cable Internet connection and plugging it in to the Hot Spot device.
2. Extend your current line of business. If you already work in computer networking, selling Wi-Fi is an easy way to increase revenue opportunities and expand your customer base. If you're in the start-up phase, consider including this option in your plan. The easiest way to start is to partner with a turnkey systems provider, but you can also devise your own system using off-the-shelf components or building from scratch. Any company that needs a network is a potential wireless network customer.
3. Deploy hot spots as a hot-spot operator. If you don't have your own locations or network installation business, but your strengths are in negotiating with business owners and maintaining those relationships, you can explore the turnkey hot-spot solutions available today. These operate much like Wi-Fi franchises for the hot-spot operator and allow the entrepreneur to establish a branded local service that can be sold into local business and target venues.
4. Become a wireless Internet service provider (WISP). If you are more technically proficient and want to get into the business on a deeper level, consider developing your own turnkey solution that can be re-sold to hot-spot operators looking for quick and easy ways to deploy public Wi-Fi locations. This involves developing a hardware device that combines a Wi-Fi access point, a network access controller, a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server and a small Web server. You'll also have to integrate that equipment with back-end authentication, authorization and accounting software/services for the hot-spot operator. That requires knowledge of RADIUS (remote authentication dial-in user service) authentication protocols and network management systems, and the willingness to establish a full-fledged service offering with support and network operating center oversight.
Got Wi-Fi?If you've decided to install a broadband connection in your place of business, you can add a public hot spot to help offset the cost, but you may need to upgrade your service and add some hardware. Here's how:
1. Request three usable IP addresses from your broadband provider. Sometimes called a /29 (slash-29) space, it includes eight IP addresses (three for systems and five usable addresses). The three you'll use are for the DSL or cable modem/router, the router/firewall and the hot-spot device.2. Add an Ethernet switch. This allows you to split the DSL or cable broadband service for multiple uses. Something like the NetGear FS-105 will run $30 to $40.
3. Add a router with integrated firewall. This separates and protects your private network from the public hot spot and provides an additional DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) station for assigning private IP addresses, so you can expand your private LAN at will. It's about $50 to $60 for an SMC Barricade.
4. Choose a hot-spot device. Like the router/firewall, this contains a DHCP server as well as other functions--an access control device to keep unauthorized users off the Internet and a Web server to provide local login pages for your service. These can run from $300 to $700. -S.D.

Obama and the Half-Smoke
So, I'm not a Washingtonian. I was born there and lived there for three short years before we took off for points middle-west, but I'm clearly no Beltway insider. Naturally, I didn't know what a "half-smoke" was until I saw the discussion surrounding it and Obama's trip to Ben's Chili Bowl on Meet the Press with video reposted at Serious Eats.
Wasn't I just talking about how obsessed we all are with every little move Obama makes, including where and what he eats?
After David Gregory played the clip of Obama in Ben's asking, "What's a half-smoke?" Cosby reacted to this question with a humorously exaggerated eye-roll, just as though Theo had asked if he could borrow the family car to take Charmaine on a date while wearing a crazy yellow shirt that Denise made for him just before Rudy ran down the stairs and lip-synced to a comically low-pitched song.
This is the thing — I like that Obama asked that question. I like that he's come to D.C. and, with that question, pretty much said, "Hey, I know I'm not from around here. I'm from the lands of Portuguese sausage and of Polish sausage. I'm not going to jam a Yankees cap on my head and pretend as if I've always lived among you, I'm asking you to teach me your ways and your customs."
It's humble, it's curious. It's Obama.
So, what IS a half-smoke? As I understand it from Wikipedia, a half-smoke is "similar to a regular hot dog, but slightly larger, spicier and with more coarsely ground meat; it is usually grilled but can be found steamed." It's usually made from a combo of beef and pork and there's some question about what "half" or "smoke" even means in the name. Quite frankly, it sounds like pot jargon to me.
There's a repulsive little photo accompanying the entry, but from the sound of it's I'm guessing it has to taste way better than it photographs.
The half-smoke revelation sort of begs the question: does every metropolis have their own hot dog? Here's a very loose analysis of my answer to that question: D.C. has the half-smoke, Chicago has Polish sausage, Hawaii has Portuguese sausage, Boston has hot dogs in those split rolls that do double-duty for lobster rolls, Philly has…cheese steaks (it's not a dog, per se, but it's still meat in a long bun), New York has Nathan's Famous Franks at Coney Island and maybe Grey's Papaya, and New Jersey has whatever New York has.
So, what sort of dog does San Francisco have? The easy and dated joke would zing "tofu dog," but really, we can do better than that, can't we? We've definitely got Rosamunde's, but maybe the quintessential San Francisco hot dog would be made from half Marin Sun Farms beef and half Fatted Calf pork on a sourdough and black olive bun, topped with diced Happy Girl Dilly Beans and Spicy Carrots.
Yeah, um, I'd really appreciate it if someone would go invent that right now.

Into the Heart of Antioch: The North American Delegation to the Antiochian Unity Conference
In late June, an historic event took place in the life of the Church of Antioch: the first Antiochian Unity Conference, called by His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, to gather together representatives of the Patriarchate from across the globe. The conference was held in Balamand, Lebanon, from June 25 to 29, and concluded on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul with a massive outdoor Patriarchal Liturgy on the grounds of Balamand University, attended by faithful from across the region as well as those gathered for the Conference.
This gathering occurred during a momentous time for our ancient Patriarchate of Antioch. A strong and ascendant Patriarch, John X, in the early stages of his leadership, guides the Church with love and joy in the Holy Spirit, while the Church carries a heavy cross: the historic homeland of the Patriarchate in Syria suffers war and the constant threat of violence, and the Church in Lebanon struggles with the burdens of life on the doorstep of war. The discussions of the conference were informed by the presence in spirit of the brother of Patriarch John, His Eminence Metropolitan Paul of Aleppo, abducted during the conflict over a year ago, along with Syriac Metropolitan Yohanna of Aleppo.

Garren Teich, exec chef of 1515 Restaurant, on molecular gastronomy, line checks and rooftop gardens
Garren Teich
1515 Restaurant
1515 Market Street
This is part one of my interview with Garren Teich, exec chef of 1515 Restaurant; part two of our chat will run tomorrow.
Twenty-seven acres devoted to chickens, goats and vegetables. That's where Garren Teich grew up, in farm country north of Philadelphia, where his dad, a horticulturist, tended to a plant nursery while his mother cooked supper -- and taught her son to do the same. "My mom made dinner every night, and even at nine or ten, she was encouraging me to cook," recalls Teich, today the thirty-year-old executive chef of 1515 Restaurant.
He started with mass batches of applesauce, and even when they didn't work out, he wasn't deterred. "I took an interest in cooking really early on, and even though I made some pretty bad stuff, I've always been obsessed with the creative aspect of cooking," says Teich, who adds that the "reward of being able to eat what you cook -- even when it's bad -- was always fun for me."

- 1515 Restaurant has a new executive chef, Garren Teich
Teich's first job was at a country club not far from where he lived, and while he admits that his culinary skills weren't particularly polished, he dove in fork first, and eventually moved his way up from line cooking to being the chief of Philly cheesesteak night, a Thursday-evening ritual of the elite. "It was honestly the hardest job there," he says. "I'd be slinging twenty cheesesteaks at a time on the flattop. Philadelphians are infatuated with their cheesesteaks."
At the same time, he was attending culinary school at a community college, immersing himself in a three-year program that required 3,000 hours of cooking in professional kitchens. He eventually quit the country-club gig to work at a local bistro, where cheesesteaks were replaced by French and Italian cuisine, with a little Asian tossed in for variety. He stayed for a year, and in 2007, after graduation, he and his girlfriend (now wife) headed for Colorado. "It was either Maine or Colorado, and we decided that Maine looked like a nice place to retire, while Colorado seemed more geared toward a youthful lifestyle," explains Teich.
Once he arrived, he spent a few months exploring Denver and Boulder, and ended up taking a job at Restaurant 4580. "I was still a bit scared of the big city," confesses Teich, "so I spent the first two years of my career here in Boulder, just getting a feel for everything before making the big move to Denver" -- which he did in 2009, landing a line-cook stint at 1515 Restaurant. He'd been spending his spare time delving into molecular gastronomy -- what Teich calls "progressive cooking" -- and that was a style 1515 Restaurant had already embraced. "I'd gotten the Alinea cookbook and started playing around with agar and other molecular elements of cooking, mostly because I felt like I needed to have a solid understanding of it to keep up," he says. "I didn't want to be left behind."

Here are a few tips to ensure you (both) get your way. Photo: Sarah Merians Photography & Video Company The little one's arrival is months away, but you and your partner are already at each other's throats over your first big parenting decision: a name for baby. So what to do when your partner hates your favorite name? Here are a few tips to ensure you (both) get your way.Pick your battlesHow important is it, really? "With all the names out there, do you like this one enough to risk placing a lasting strain on your marriage?" asks Jeff Palitz, a marriage and family therapist in San Diego. "If the name is really outrageous and your husband is dead set against it, you might want to compromise.Create a win-win situationRemember that both of you need to be happy with your choice. "In every relationship there are occasions where one party wins, but too many of them create the opportunity for resentment within a marriage," says Palitz. "You don't want to be arguing ten years from now and have your husband blurt out, 'You named our child Apple!'"Be prepared to compromise something big What bargaining points can you pull out? In order to get, you sometimes need to give.... and in this case, it better be something he really wants. "This isn't what's for dinner -- its long term," explains Palitz. Yes, we're talking about that big screen TV that will completely dwarf the living room.Work togetherIf you husband consistently vetoes your choices, ask him to supply a reasonable alternative. Maybe the problem is that he's feeling left out of the process. "Have you sat down with a baby names book and flipped through it together?" asks Jeff. If not, it's time to start. By brainstorming side by side you'll be less likely to form separate camps and have a better chance of finding the perfect name... together. -- Hallie Goodman See More: Baby Names , Sex and Relationship Previous Article: How to Choose a Baby Name Next Article: Irish Baby Names We Love Worst Baby Names of 2011 We wonder if any of these parents have name regret?

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that the next patch, 1.5, for World of Warcraft has gone live on test servers. The main feature of this new version of the game is the inclusion of the long awaited Battlegrounds. Here you have their official post:
Players can participate in the test realms by creating a character or by copying their characters from existing realms to the test realms. Those who have previously copied their characters to the test realms will need to do so again, as all previous characters have been removed from the test realms. To copy your character and to download the test client, visit our Test Realm Character Copy page.
Please be aware that the test realms allow us to conduct a broad test of major content patches, and based on the results of the public test, further changes may be introduced before a patch goes live. To read more info about the test realms, please review the Test Realm FAQ located here. We'd like to thank all of our players who are participating in helping us test the new content patch, and we look forward to seeing you in game!
Logging into the Public Test RealmsTo keep the testing process manageable, not all accounts will be eligible to log on to the public test realms during the first week of public testing. The criteria for participating on the test realms in the first week is that the player must have logged in to the live service sometime after April 10, and the player's account must have been created before May 9.
We want to allow players who fall outside these criteria to experience the new content being tested on the public test realms as well, so if you are not eligible to participate during the first week of testing, please log in to the live service by Sunday, May 15, and you should be able to join the public test realms from the second week of testing on. The current plan is for the public test to last several weeks to fully test all aspects of the upcoming Battlegrounds content.
Please be aware that all players, regardless of account activity, will be able to copy characters to the test realms at any time, and we encourage you to do so ahead of time.

Welcome to The Pondok. Om Swastiastu!
In Bali, when the sun is hottest at midday, a farmer will often take a rest in his "pondok", a shack made of bamboo and grass situated in the middle of the ricefields. See top foto by Richard Pearce.
Because one of us is Balinese (Wayan) and one of us is American (Richard) we divide our time between Bali & the USA. The photo at left is us during our wedding ceremony. Wayan's mom is the laughing lady in pink.
What we do: produce handmade products for other companies (ask for references!) but we also offer a variety of goods from Bali, usually wholesale to small shops, occasionally retail from our house in New Hampshire, USA, but not online (not yet anyway). We support the principles underlying the Fair Trade movement and guarantee that the 300+ Balinese craftsmen and artists who make our products are treated fairly. With the generous support of some of our clients and friends we maintain an emergency medical help fund to assist our artisans in need.
Travel to Bali: We offer our advice for people wishing to visit Bali. We can make your trip very special indeed! We can arrange housing, guides and ground travel all around Bali and other parts of Indonesia. Ask for references and for more info on us check our About Us section: Wayan's gardens, Richard's photographs, Travel guiding to Bali and Our House for rent, video clips of artists and life in Bali.
Please take time to browse our product lines. If you have interest please email us at email@example.com.
Thank you-Terima kasih banyak! Richard & Wayan.

I was playing around with the idea of getting some "Royal Helleborus Mix" plants I don't know anything about them though,I have a few questions:
1) Do the grow in all day shade? 2) Are they easy to grow with little to no problems?

With the possible exception of not being overly fond of heavy clay soils (pretty typical in Georgia) and excessive soil acidity, they should be very easy for you to grow. I find most hellebores perform and flower best with at least some sun during the day - they are shade tolerant, not necessarily shade lovers. The Royal Heritage strain would not necessarily be my first choice - I find the plants from this breeding program less vigorous than other x hybridus seed strains and with less distinctive coloring. |

Cabernet sauvignons are one of CHOICE members' favourite wines, with their suggested labels, most of which hail from the Coonawarra region in south-eastern SA, performing well in this bracket. Price seemed to correlate with quality, so expect to pay more than $20 for a good cabernet sauvignon. However, the Pepper Tree 2008 ($15) and Jacob's Creek Reserve 2008 ($18) are solid budget alternatives; our judges believed they need more cellar time to fully develop, but offer an earthy nose and a fruity palate. Cabernet merlots were described by the panel as "disappointing", much like merlots generally. The only one to rank in the top five was the Vasse Felix Cabernet Merlot 2008. At less than $16 a bottle, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill 2008 is a good quaffing cabernet merlot for a dinner party, with a bold sweet front and lingering mouthfeel.

X-Men Destiny: First details emerged
A list of leaked features and story details including character info, mutant powers and more.
Ever since the announcement of the title, very few details have popped out on X-Men Destiny. Earlier last month Activision and Silicon Knights released two trailers for the game as an announcement. However, little to no info emerged except that players will have to choose one of three players and some other Marvel characters that will show up.
We finally got some solid information thanks to Stickskills who got hold of an upcoming February issue of the Official Xbox Magazine which had an article focusing on X-Men Destiny.
Here are some of the listed details:
- The tone of the game is said to be "dark, mature, & intense" striving towards an adult feel, but a Mature rating is said to not be likely.
- San Francisco is divided into human & non-human sectors as Professor X is dead.
- The game starts with a peace rally being staged to pay tribute to Professor X, which is when you are prompted to pick one of three characters in the crowd.
- OXM's Activision guide chose Adrian Luca as their character.
- The game presents the player with frozen in time "decision moments", indicating its time for players to make a big choice. The first big choice in the game allows you to pick your power archetype ranging from being able to manipulate matter and your body mass, energy projection, or a third one that was kept a secret.
- The game allows you to decide who is friend or foe in the X-Men universe.
- Cyclops, Quicksilver, Surge, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, & Gambit are confirmed to make an appearance in the title, with plenty more to be announced.
- X-Genes play a rather large role in the game, ranging from boss fights to deciding to give it to an X-Men, or someone else to form another alliance.
- Linking together a good amount of attacks will fill up your "Mutant power" meter, allowing you to pull off even stronger special attacks.
- One of the special attacks described as a part of the "Mutant power" meter was "Force Pillars". The attack was said to produce crowd clearing beams that rise from the ground.
This is Silicon Knights first major title since the release of Too Human. Moreover, there hasn't been an X-Men game in a while. X-Men Destiny will be published by Activision and most probably is headed to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Hi Mallybills, Is your variety called "Golden?" I have a few Fall Golds and some reds that aren't very good that I'd like to replace, so if yours are different, that'd be great! Would you like to trade? I sell herbs, herb gardens, and greens at the downtown farmer's market in Salt Lake on Saturdays and we could meet there and you could pick some plants or a big herb pot. I have several potted perennials as well just now: Brunnera and bleeding heart for the shade, Jupiter's Beard, Japanese Blood Grass, Blue Oat Grass, Northern Sea Oats, and some white variegated iris. And I'm happy to dig something up. |

The daily deals website launched the free Breadcrumb POS iPad app (free, iTunes) on Tuesday, with the app now available from the Apple App Store.
As with competing apps from Square, Revel, ShopKeep and others, the app aims to cater for retailers and small businesses by allowing them to take MasterCard, Visa, Discover and cash payments with their Apple tablets.
They can also log transactions, manage menu items and issue refunds, as well as process credit cards, email receipts and view real-time data analysis on sales. Free 24/7 telephone support is provided too, which is useful for businesses starting out with iPad point-of-sale for the first time.
Groupon, in return, charges a credit card processing fee of 1.8% plus 15 cents of each transaction (there are no monthly fees), although the company intends to waive the first $5,000 credit card transactions in order to entice new businesses to sign up.
Signing up is pretty easy, with businesses simply required to download the app, sign up for a payment app and then connect their iPad to a card swiper and Groupon's optional printer.
Breadcrumb POS won't be replacing the Pro edition, which starts at $99 per month. That service is more aimed towards restaurants and bars who Groupon says "require a more extensive set of features such as a check and table management and time clock functionality".
Groupon's activity in this space is a result of the company acquiring Breadcrumb for a rumored $10-15 million in May of last year.

Kennebec Performing Arts Company
P.O. Box 481
Augusta, ME 04332
The Kennebec Performing Arts Company started as the Augusta Symphony Orchestra in 1920 under the direction of Ernest Hill, in order to provide musicians in the Kennebec area an opportunity to perform music, develop interest in choral music, the playing of woodwind, brass & percussion instruments and provide public service by presenting concerts and other performances.
Ernest Hill was still actively conducting in the 1960's at Maine Music Camp on the campus of University of Maine at Farmington, where KPAC members Larry Deblois and Ralph Turner had the privilege of following his baton.
The name, Kennebec Performing Arts Company, KPAC, was chosen to represent the many communities from which its performing members come as well as the variety of musical styles presented.
In the summer of 2004 KPAC and the Augusta Symphony made a decision to separate their organizational structures in order that each may concentrate on its own genre of music. Several talented musicians participate in both organizations and the groups maintain a very strong and mutually beneficial working relationship.

Copper is an essential trace element present in the diet and in the human body. It is needed to absorb and utilize iron. It is also part of the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD). Copper is needed to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy the body runs on. Synthesis of some hormones requires copper, as does the synthesis of collagen (the "glue" that holds connective tissue together). In addition, the enzyme, tyrosinase, which plays a role in the production of skin pigment, requires copper to function.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

In your dreams, you celebrate Spring Break in Maranello, Italy. You check out two of the finest stallions from Ferrari's stable, race an Aston Martin DBS similar to the one James Bond rolled seven times in Casino Royale, dine at glam restaurants, relax at a palace adjoining Ferrari's backyard. Then a dramatic miscue jolts you from your reverie and dots your forehead with icy bullets of sweat.
The dream turns into a nightmare as the day's drive ends with two hot, tired V-12-powered GTs ready for a rubdown and a feed bag. The rosso corsa 599GTB Fiorano is welcomed through Ferrari's factory gate as if it had just run and won the Preakness Stakes. But, when your colleague attempts to wheel the silver-ingot Aston Martin DBS out of traffic and into the paddock, pandemonium erupts. Your formerly cordial Ferrari host waves frantically and shrieks as if 007, wearing Team McLaren Nomex and brandishing an assault rifle, is laying siege.
Your dream is our Italian job. Except for that one awkward moment, Automobile Magazine's test of the world's top two automotive status symbols could not have fared better. Road test editor Marc Noordeloos and I came, we drove, and we solved the riddle prompting this mission: which brand builds the better grand touring sports car?
To achieve the desired revelations, every journey must begin at an appropriate genesis. In 1931, Enzo Ferrari's scuderia (racing stable) was just beginning to thrive. His new live-in garage was humming, his team had won more than a third of the events campaigned the previous season, and the relationship with benefactor Alfa Romeo was prospering. Ferrari drove the new Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 to victory at a minor hill-climb. But the next event, the Circuito delle Tre Province - a seventy-nine-mile dash over Apennine mountain roads - marked the end of Enzo's driving career and the beginning of the Ferrari legend.
At the Sestola checkpoint, Ferrari's Alfa 8C enjoyed a forty-second advantage over teammate and archrival Tazio Nuvolari driving a less competitive 6C 1750. Although his car was damaged, Nuvolari mounted a furious comeback on the final twenty-two-mile leg of the race. By flinging his roadster into bends and revving its twin-cam six-cylinder engine well past any sane limit, Nuvolari beat team manager Ferrari to the finish line in Porretta by a few seconds.
It was both a bitter denouement and an auspicious beginning. Ferrari retired as a driver to focus his energy on expanding his racing empire and manufacturing a few sports cars for wealthy patrons.
Twenty years after Enzo passed on to that scuderia in the sky, we revisited Porretta, located twenty-five miles due south of Maranello. The tight switchbacks that climb and descend the Apennine foothills, straighter dashes along the Panaro River, and a few high-speed squirts on the autostrada were ideal venues for studying how six decades of nurturing has advanced the Ferrari pedigree. Nuvolari's role was played by the Aston Martin DBS, the most powerful and sophisticated front-engine two-seater ever to leave England.
Aston Martin sold its first car in 1922, when Enzo's driving career was just getting started. The brand was early to adopt overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and dry-sump lubrication - technology that we still consider modern.
The turning point for both marques came in 1947. Ferrari launched its seminal 125S sports car powered by a 1.5-liter SOHC V-12 producing all of 72 hp (factory literature lists output figures ranging as high as 118 hp). At Aston Martin, industrialist Sir David Brown arrived as neither the first nor the last financial angel to rescue the enterprise, kicking off a long run of DB models. The DBS badge first appeared in 1967, and one enjoyed a cameo role in the sixth Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Prices are appropriately astronomical for these two top-shelf road racers - count on a base price of more than $300,000 and a long wait to own the Ferrari versus about $265,000 and more ready availability for the Aston. Stripped to their shorts, they share the classic front-mounted V-12 blueprint consecrated by Ferrari sixty-one years ago and employed by Aston Martin since 1999. Countering the Ferrari's larger, more powerful engine, Aston brought a slightly lighter curb weight to this contest. While Ferrari skins its aluminum structure with exquisitely shaped aluminum panels, Aston uses both composite and aluminum skin over extruded-aluminum bones. The DBS's hood, front fenders, deck lid, and rear diffuser are molded in carbon fiber and clad with an ultrathin layer of fiberglass to mask the weave within. Whether you prefer the Ferrari's sensual curves or the more aggressively scooped and slotted Aston, every glance at this rolling sculpture zings your heart like a teenage romance.
