In what world are you living in that a positive thing?
You see I read the article...and not just the headline.
Exactly. All it's doing it robbing from Peter to pay Paul.

Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region.

She may be on live TV, but Warner lives regular home life
BY HANNAH KOHUT Correspondent December 11, 2011 8:38PM
Local TV personality Valerie Warner, center, jokes around with her kids, Max, left, and Zoey at her home in Lansing, IL on Sunday December 4, 2011 | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 13, 2012 8:11AM
"If you told me a year ago I would be hosting a live talk show in Chicago, I'd never believe you," Val Warner said as she sat on her Lansing home's living room floor, holding her four-year-old son, Max.
Sometimes it pays to have faith. Today, Warner is co-host of ABC 7's "Windy City Live," a live studio audience talk show in Chicago that airs five days a week.
But when the cameras aren't rolling, she's your typical suburban single mom.
Last Sunday morning, the former WGN-TV (Channel 9) traffic reporter and her kids sorted toys they prepared to donate to charity. Then it was off to a birthday party.
It's a busy life.
Her mother, Diane Jackson, of South Holland, helps make Val's professional and home careers possible; she spends the night every weeknight to get the kids (daughter Zoe, 9 and Max, 4) up and ready for school once Val heads out the door at 5:30 a.m. Jackson, as she helped Zoe design book covers for her school books, said she always knew Val would end up in the spotlight.
Humble beginnings
Warner grew up in Los Angeles. As a child, Warner spent a lot of time at church, eventually reading Bible passages for the congregation, her mother said.
"She was an infant in my arms, and she became the church darling," Jackson said. "A lot of times they would take Val and have her read the Scriptures at church. They had to put a box behind the pulpit because she was so little."
After high school, Warner was dead-set on news, Jackson said. She decided to major in communications at the University of California, San Diego.
"Val then put her blinders on ...," Jackson said, "and never looked back."
Climbing the news ladder
Warner knew how competitive the news business is, but she worked hard and aimed for the top.
She started as an on-air news reporter in New Mexico, where she was in 1997 and 1998. From there, she went to Topeka, Kan., as a morning news anchor; and then to Flint, Mich., where she was the station's main news anchor from 2000 to 2005, she said.
It was in 2004 when WGN came knocking — it wanted her to be the morning news traffic reporter, Warner said.
The problem was, Warner was locked in a contract. So they waited for her contract to expire, and in 2005, Warner was back to Chicago.
"I thought I'd retire at WGN," Warner said. "It's a great station — I had a good career and a nice family over there."
Fate had something else in store for her.
'Windy City Live'
In November 2010, Warner was asked to audition for a new, local, live talk-show on ABC 7 to take Oprah Winfrey's former time slot. It also was going to be shot in Oprah's former studio at ABC 7.
"One of the producers called and asked me to audition," Warner said.
From a pool of 500 applicants of talk-show host hopefuls, some with Hollywood recognition, Warner was among the 80 who made the first cut. After several rounds of what Warner called "talent speed dating," where candidates had to get to know each other and audition with each other, Warner got the call on Feb. 14 that she, along with Ryan Chiaverini, were going to host the show.
"Windy City Live" airs weekdays from 9 to 10 a.m. on ABC 7.
Keeping it real
Since the show went live in May, Warner's local celebrity status has skyrocketed. Folks are surprised to learn that Warner doesn't live in some posh high-rise condo in the city but, rather, near her family in the Southland.
She shops at stores such as Ultra Foods and Target. And, Warner said, it's important to her to integrate her family into the show.
Warner wants people to be able to know she's a regular person who has to deal with homework and fussy 4-year olds and fighting kids just like everyone else. Her family is tight-knit, and introducing them to her audience, Warner believes, helps people understand her.
"There's a fine line with not revealing too much of your private life," Warner said. "But at the same time I want to show folks I'm a normal person. Yes, I have a great job and I'm on TV every day, but at the same time, I want to be relatable."

Nevada Wolf Pack (23-5)
@Fresno St. Bulldogs (13-17)
Saturday, February 25
Save Mart Center
Attendance: 6,966
Fresno St.
Fresno, CA (Sports Network) - Crucial free throws by Deonte Burton, Dario Hunt and Malik Story down the stretch in the third overtime period served to provide the Nevada Wolf Pack with a hard-earned 79-76 win over the Fresno State Bulldogs in Western Athletic Conference action at the Save Mart Center.
Burton, who finished with 19 points, knocked down all but two of his 14 free- throw attempts in the meeting for the Pack (23-5, 11-1 WAC) as they clinched at least a share of the WAC regular season title. Hunt recorded a double- double for the visitors with 20 points and 15 rebounds, adding five blocked shots, while Olek Czyz produced a game-high 25 points to go along with his 11 boards.
The Bulldogs (13-17, 3-9) were paced by Kevin Foster who came off the bench to deliver 24 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out as the team had a two- game win streak snapped. Jonathan Wills posted 19 points and 10 boards, followed by Tyler Johnson and Kevin Olekaibe with 13 and 11 points, respectively, before both of them picked up their fifth personal fouls.
A tight game from start to finish, there were a total of 19 ties and an amazing 32 lead changes and it was poor shooting from the floor on both sides that led them to a 23-23 tie at the break.
In the second half FSU trailed by six points with under four minutes remaining, but a pair of three pointers by Olekaibe knotted the score at 53-53 with 2:51 left in regulation, but neither team was able to put the ball in the basket before time expired, although Czyz could have put the game in the win column had he made just one of his free-throw attempts with under a minute to play.
In the first overtime period neither team was able to move out to more than a three-point advantage. Ahead by a 62-59 score thanks to a jumper by Story, who finished with nine points on a mere 2-of-16 shooting from the field, Nevada failed to keep Foster out of the paint as his dunk with 55 seconds to play again locked the score at 62-62, thanks to a made free-throw earlier in the frame by Steven Shepp.
During the second extra frame, Czyz put the visitors on top with an early layup, but down the stretch Nevada needed a free throw by Hunt to push the meeting to yet another overtime period tied at 68-68.
Olekaibe, who shot only 2-of-8 behind the three-point line and 3-of-13 from the field overall, missed a couple of three-pointers, the second of those being stuffed immediately, with a subsequent foul sending Hunt to the free- throw line for the Pack where he converted the first of two to put Nevada ahead by four.
The Wolf Pack turned the ball over 17 times and shot just 26-of-42 at the free-throw line.

In addition to what is stated in the design notes, I want to be clear that the character class/specialty details are designed to be modular. Thus Comrades, in or out, are the GM's option. Likewise, use of Regiment and Homeworld: GM's option. Use of discretionary/starting XP: GM option. Etc…
Questions and criticism welcome. I hope you find this useful.

Content is not the only important aspect of the personal statement. The way in which it is written is perhaps equally crucial. You must demonstrate that you can express yourself with clarity and that you have the ability to construct a strong argument. These skills are vital for any aspiring law student and vital for any personal statement.
A useful way to think about the writing in your essay is to put yourself in the position of the admissions deans. They will read hundreds of essays and you can imagine that not every essay will be read carefully. However, essays that make a good first impression will draw more attention. It is therefore vital that your essay has a great introduction that stimulates interest. You could start with a question that the reader will want to know the answer to, or a story, or even the end of a story which will make the reader want to read on. However you chose to write your introduction, it must make the reader want to take that extra bit of time to read it carefully.
The reader must not have to work hard to understand the essay. The basic theme, tone and subject of your essay must be clear from early on. It must be coherent, with a clear structure and a logical progression that is easy to follow.
Because the whole idea of a personal statement is to say something about you, its tone should be honest and sincere. It can also pay to reveal some personal emotion. A bit of excitement, sadness or even embarrassment can be an effective means of conveying a sense of who you are.
A crucial part of writing a great essay is to give yourself enough time. If you start writing in the summer before you want to go to law school then you will have sufficient time to make several drafts or even to start again if necessary. A useful tool is to leave a statement and go back to it after a few weeks. A period of time can give a new perspective on the effectiveness of your essay. It is also wise to get several people, preferably including objective readers, to read your essay and offer advice.
Whatever you do, pay attention to detail. The admission committee will face a difficult decision trying to separate a lot of applications. Do not provide them with an easy way to discard your application by a simple grammatical error or typo. It could undermine the value of a lot of hard work. Little errors in your statement reflect poorly on your writing abilities. They also reflect negatively on how important you consider admission to law school and what type of lawyer you would be.
Some law schools give guidelines on format and length. If this is the case then comply with those guidelines. If there are no guidelines then it is best to keep your essay to a maximum of around two pages. Any less than two pages and it will be difficult for the reader to get a sense of you as an individual. Any longer than two pages and you may appear long winded. In any case, if your essay is clear and concise then you should not require any more than two pages. Admissions professionals who have to read thousands of statements will appreciate brevity.

A recent study asked younger twentysomethings how they feel about their generation. The short answer? Most 18- to 24-year-olds don't like themselves—or their peers—very much.
Only 19 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds have a positive view of their generation compared to their parents'. Forty percent of these Millennials judge their own generation more negatively than their parents, while another 40 percent is neutral on the topic. A surprisingly high number of them don't think their generation is any better than previous generations.

Cameron confronted over paedophiles in UK government & handed a list of names
Philip Schofield on this morning hands David Cameron a list names potentially connected to pedophile rings embedded in the UK government. The prime minister in an attempt avoid the key issue & discourage serious further investigation from the public tries to conflate accusations of paedophilia with a witch hunt attacking gay people. Hopefully the public will see through this blatantly emotive misdirection and force the police to fully investigate these allegations

I just saw that Connecticut is already talking about plant swaps. My computer is ready to hit the dust any day now so just wanted you to know that I plan to have our NH swap( you don't have to be from NH) the first Sunday in June
I have ordered a new computer but it won't be here until April and then I will need at least a week to figure out how to use it(.I am a slow learner)
Looking forward to seeing everyone.Have kept in touch with many of you. also I am on Facebook and have posted pictures of our past swaps. annie |

I will never miss one of your swaps again! Do you want someone to take over communication with the forum? You can private message me your phone number and I can act as go-between if you would like Annie. |
I saw your FB posting and came over here to see if you'd posted a date. I'm going to try very hard this year to make it. I always want to but life has just seemed to get in the way . . . work, elderly parents needing help, etc. I really appreciate your continuity in organizing the NH swap. Thanks! |

Hi Annie and HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING! I have the NH swap on my calendar. Looking forward to it as usual. I will bring plenty of plants to trade, and gift, as well as bring a dessert for the pot luck. Have fun with your new computer. Blake |
Blake, maybe someday I will remember to send you the calendula seeds I promised. Annie, hope to make the swap. It's on my calendar and I've reminded my friend Sue. I'll decide later what to bring for the potluck. nhbabs, looking forward to meeting you, another "northerner". It's also a nice time to visit Uncanoonuc Perennials. |
Hi Everyone! Happy Spring! Looking forward to the swap! Blake, I'm going to start calendula for you and it should be ready (fingers crossed) by the swap. Is anyone interested in seeds? Or just plants? |
- Posted by blaketaylore (My Page) on Thu, Mar 22, 12 at 9:30
Hi thyme2dig, That would be grand, thank you ! Blake |
Well I have my new computer but still learning all the bells and whistles. Still too early to get serious about what every one is bringing. Will start a new post the beginning of May where we can all start posting what we are bringing and what we are looking for. Looks like my magnolia which had formed buds before the last cold spell survived and will probably flower by Easter. Quite a few plants in my garden are peeping through the soil including monkshood, iris, and primroses. I have started all sorts of flowers inside including hibiscus, brugs, daturas and several annuals. I also have loads of tomatoes started. |

Hi everyone!!! Annie so glad your having the swap again! As usual the first Sunday is my bird clubs last meeting for the year and thats our big cookout and I've already told everyone I won't be there if Annies having the plant swap! They think I'm crazy to pass up the cookout so I tell them, Yes! but we have great food at Annies! It's so nice to walk around the yard every morning and see whats peeking up out of the ground. Annie I potted up the yellow hibiscus seeds that I collected from the plant you gave me last year hope they come. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Kathie |
Hi kathie I am so glad you are coming but am sorry you are going to miss the bird club cookout. Next year I'll pick the last Sunday in May or the second one in June.Just give me an email in March to remind me. I have a lot of yellow hibiscus started so if yours don't sprout I'll give you a plant or 2. |

Does anyone have any hellebores or white liatris to spare? How about hakonechloa "all gold" or black mondo grass? Am planning to cover some ground when the new barn is done! Also, should I be seeing coronaria seedlings yet? I scattered seeds from ericofwebster last year and am just wondering if they took. |
- Posted by ishareflowers 6a. MA. (My Page) on Fri, Apr 13, 12 at 16:22
Whitegarden, I might have some white liatris....if mine made it. My lychnis is up a few inches already...I don't think I have any white to share though. Lisa I will have some self sown deep rose colored hellebore seedlings.. |
- Posted by whitegarden Z5 MA (My Page) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 6:05
Sounds good Lisa, thanks! |
Hi Whitegarden Are hellebores those plants that bloom when there is still snow on the ground? If so I have one which is quite large. Remind me the day of the swap and maybe we can divide it. Looks like we are in for a warm spell. I'm going to plant peas and poppy seeds outside this week and maybe put up my little plastic greenhouse and put a couple of trays of seedlings in it to harden off. I've got so many things started that I can afford to lose a few if it turns real cold Annie |
- Posted by whitegarden Z5 MA (My Page) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 17:08
Yes, that's them Annie. That would be great. I have to make sure that I don't bring all the best stuff to CT. I am trying to attend both swaps this year. Keeping it stright is going to be a challenge! LOL!!! |
Hello everyone! Just the post I was looking for. My youngest daughter is a new homeowner. Spent yesterday dividing 2 giant hostas into 12 good size plants and replanting them for her. They should do well with the 2 days of rain we are getting now. She has an odd slope that she is hoping to plant multiple colors of phlox. If anyone has any they are dividing or digging up, Greta will be so happy to give them a good home, so please keep us in mind. She may come along with me this year. I am only just starting some of my seeds... but my yard is in great shape already. I have no experience with planting bleeding heart seeds, but last year I collected the seeds and planted them in the ground recently. Anyone have any experience and advice? Susan in CT |
Hi Susan So glad you are planning on coming to the swap.I should have plenty of phlox to give you. It seems to love my garden and spreads all over the place. Usually it is either pink or white with pink spots. With this strange weather we are having it should be in blossom by the end of May so will dig some up of various colors. Next week I will start a new post so that everyone can start listing what they will bringing and what they are looking for. |

Hi Annie, Let's talk about food! (the heck with plants, LOL) I took some cooking classes this year, so I will bring either Vietnamese Spring Rolls with ginger dipping sauce or Oh yeah, and I'll be bringing a bunch of Primula Japonica, Miller's Crimson. I've got a bunch of new babies. |
Hi Deb Both those dishes sound delicious.Did the Centhrus Ruba( red verlairian ) survive that I gave you? If not I have started some more and this time they are more established as I started them earlier. The hydrangea that you gave me survived the winter and is looking very good |

I would love to join in this year! I haven't been gardening for a couple of years, but am getting back into it this spring. Probably the only thing I have to offer is Hosta...and food! I'll keep an eye out for your post. Tara |
Hi Tara So glad you want to join us.We will look forward to meeting you Wow I just took a look at the forecast. Looks like we have about 3 nights of frost ahead of us I have quite a few seedlings and plants out on the porch hardening off. Guess I will have to truck them all back into my sun room Annie |
Hello Annie, Any phlox you have to spare will be so gratefully received by Greta. She is just starting out as a new young homeowner with a good size property. I want you to know how delighted she will be. I just planted a whole flat of MONEY! I bought the seeds online... its called Money plant - very pretty translucent white coin type of blossoms. If they do well, I'll bring some of the "Money" along to share. I like the idea of "planting money" as much as I like the plant itself! My peas are in too, Annie. Planted 5 rosebushes at my Mom's house in New Bedford (MA) yesterday. Moved my blueberry bushes out of the vegetable garden - am getting greedy about my precious vegetable space. Last year someone gave me a little baby wisteria cutting at your swap. I am so excited to report it has happily made it through the winter, is about 10" high and sending out leaves. Will keep checking in now and then. Susan from CT |
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will escape the frost tonight. I will start a new post on Tuesday where we can get serious about our Plant swap which will be the first Sunday in June |
- Posted by debra_boston Zone 5 - Boston (My Page) on Mon, Apr 30, 12 at 7:59
Hi Susan in CT: Its not leaves you will have to worry about with wisteria.... My Chinese Wisteria gave me NOTHING but leaves for 24 years. I finally broke down and cut it down last year at the root! I was so happy when it didn't come back (like some plants do - "prune to bloom", etc. I HAD FINALLY HAD IT! Took me long enough, huh? But maybe you will be lucky and actually get some blooms. I'm sure you will get lots and lots of plantings for Greta. Tell her to take her time and not to put things in that she will only regret later (like unamed daylillies). I put them in a spot only to realize that they are almost impossible to get rid of. I think you have to cover them with a carpet for 6 years! LOL Make sure she takes plenty of before photos. They will be a joy to look at later when there are actual plantings around. You can see all the work you did, which sometimes you forget about.... See you at the swap. Annie, can't you throw an old quilt over your seedlings to keep them from frost? A lot less work than dragging them in. I'm so glad your hydrangea survived and is looking well. I have gotten several plants from that one bush. I don't see any red valerian coming up, but it is early yet, so keep me in mind for a seedling or two. I'm looking for a sprouted brug if you've got one with my name on it... How are those seedlings doing? |
Hi Deb I did put blankets over the plants on the porch. the weather looks pretty good for now on so as soon as they harden off I'm going to begin planting. I have several sprouted brugs so will definitely let you have one of those. I'm debating whether to get rid of one of my regular brugs ( the ones that are now about 5 ft or more tall and in my cellar. I'm waiting for my son to come down and lug them up the stairs. Time to start a new post.I think I will call it NH Swap Part 2. |

This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (December 2008) |
The ultracentrifuge is a centrifuge optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds, capable of generating acceleration as high as 2 000 000 g (approx. 19 600 km/s²).[citation needed] There are two kinds of ultracentrifuges, the preparative and the analytical ultracentrifuge. Both classes of instruments find important uses in molecular biology, biochemistry, and polymer science.
Theodor Svedberg invented the analytical ultracentrifuge in 1925,[1][2] and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1926 for his research on colloids and proteins using the ultracentrifuge.
The vacuum ultracentrifuge was invented by Edward Greydon Pickels. It was his contribution of the vacuum which allowed a reduction in friction generated at high speeds. Vacuum systems also enabled the maintenance of constant temperature.
In 1946, Pickels cofounded Spinco (Specialized Instruments Corp.) and marketed an ultracentrifuge based on his design. Pickels, however, considered his design to be complicated and developed a more "foolproof" version. But even with the enhanced design, sales of the technology remained low, and Spinco almost went bankrupt. The company survived and was the first to commercially manufacture ultracentrifuges, in 1947. In 1949, Spinco introduced the Model L, the first preparative ultracentrifuge to reach a maximum speed of 40,000 rpm. In 1954, Beckman Instruments, now Beckman Coulter, purchased the company, forming the basis of its Spinco centrifuge division.[3]
Analytical ultracentrifuge[edit]
In an analytical ultracentrifuge, a sample being spun can be monitored in real time through an optical detection system, using ultraviolet light absorption and/or interference optical refractive index sensitive system. This allows the operator to observe the evolution of the sample concentration versus the axis of rotation profile as a result of the applied centrifugal field. With modern instrumentation, these observations are electronically digitized and stored for further mathematical analysis. Two kinds of experiments are commonly performed on these instruments: sedimentation velocity experiments and sedimentation equilibrium experiments.
Sedimentation velocity experiments aim to interpret the entire time-course of sedimentation, and report on the shape and molar mass of the dissolved macromolecules, as well as their size-distribution.[4] The size resolution of this method scales approximately with the square of the particle radii, and by adjusting the rotor speed of the experiment size-ranges from 100 Da to 10 GDa can be covered. Sedimentation velocity experiments can also be used to study reversible chemical equilibria between macromolecular species, by either monitoring the number and molar mass of macromolecular complexes, by gaining information about the complex composition from multi-signal analysis exploiting differences in each components spectroscopic signal, or by following the composition dependence of the sedimentation rates of the macromolecular system, as described in Gilbert-Jenkins theory.
Sedimentation equilibrium experiments are concerned only with the final steady-state of the experiment, where sedimentation is balanced by diffusion opposing the concentration gradients, resulting in a time-independent concentration profile. Sedimentation equilibrium distributions in the centrifugal field are characterized by Boltzmann distributions. This experiment is insensitive to the shape of the macromolecule, and directly reports on the molar mass of the macromolecules and, for chemically reacting mixtures, on chemical equilibrium constants. [5]
The kinds of information that can be obtained from an analytical ultracentrifuge include the gross shape of macromolecules, the conformational changes in macromolecules, and size distributions of macromolecular samples. For macromolecules, such as proteins, that exist in chemical equilibrium with different non-covalent complexes, the number and subunit stoichiometry of the complexes and equilibrium constant constants can be studied.
Analytical ultracentrifugation has recently seen a rise in use because of increased ease of analysis with modern computers and the development of software, including an National Institutes of Health supported software package, SedFit.
Preparative ultracentrifuge[edit]
Preparative ultracentrifuges are available with a wide variety of rotors suitable for a great range of experiments. Most rotors are designed to hold tubes that contain the samples. Swinging bucket rotors allow the tubes to hang on hinges so the tubes reorient to the horizontal as the rotor initially accelerates.[citation needed] Fixed angle rotors are made of a single block of metal and hold the tubes in cavities bored at a predetermined angle. Zonal rotors are designed to contain a large volume of sample in a single central cavity rather than in tubes. Some zonal rotors are capable of dynamic loading and unloading of samples while the rotor is spinning at high speed.
Preparative rotors are used in biology for pelleting of fine particulate fractions, such as cellular organelles (mitochondria, microsomes, ribosomes) and viruses. They can also be used for gradient separations, in which the tubes are filled from top to bottom with an increasing concentration of a dense substance in solution. Sucrose gradients are typically used for separation of cellular organelles. Gradients of caesium salts are used for separation of nucleic acids. After the sample has spun at high speed for sufficient time to produce the separation, the rotor is allowed to come to a smooth stop and the gradient is gently pumped out of each tube to isolate the separated components.
The tremendous rotational kinetic energy of the rotor in an operating ultracentrifuge makes the catastrophic failure of a spinning rotor a serious concern. The stresses of routine use and harsh chemical solutions eventually cause rotors to deteriorate. Proper use of the instrument and rotors within recommended limits and careful maintenance of rotors to prevent corrosion and to detect deterioration is necessary to mitigate this risk.

Lauded for its simple, no-frills Tuscan fare, Sostanza is also known as Il Troia (the trough) because its long, wooden communal tables are always packed with diners enjoying the same signature dishes. Open since 1869, the old-fashioned trattoria has a bustling open kitchen and walls lined with autographed celebrity photos (past guests include Steven Spielberg and Neil Patrick Harris). The short, relatively affordable menu includes such specialties as petti di pollo al burro (chicken breasts fried in butter) and bistecca alla Florentina (porterhouse steak cooked on a charcoal grill). Well-priced wines and meringue cake with wild strawberries complete the experience.
Insider Tip:
Typically, the first dinner seating is more popular with tourists, while locals attend the second, so make reservations for the latter if you want a more authentic experience.

Comments about Aluratek High-Resolution Digital Picture Frame; 512MB Memory, 12:
I wish I could give this negative stars. This products is horrible. The menu navigation is POORLY designed. You can't delete pics even though the manual says you can. Uploading pics isn't a problem, but changing them is. The auto shut-on-off feature often needs recalibrating. I'm very disappointed with this purchase and with Aluratek.
