Two more days for X'mas... I have this friend that has two boys & 8yr-old girl. I originally bought movie tickets for their x'mas gifts, but today, two days before x'mas, my DH said "that's what they're gonna get for x'mas?" (he always does this!) So I went out to get a toy gift for the boys, and nothing for the girl because I can make some cute tote bag for her real quick. Then I realized, I was already planning to give her the bag as a favor to my kids bday party for next month. I don't wanna double up so I need to come up with something quick to make in next two days... (i don't want to go out shopping anymore!) Any idea for a 8yr-old girl gift? Accessory or clothes?
She probably has a Barbie. What about an outfit for Barbie or one of her dolls. Maybe she would like a doll quilt. One year I gave the kids a towel that I had embroidered their name on. Most girls love beads. If you have some on hand, make a necklace or bracelet.
That is a good age for an apron. Wrap it with a cake mix or a few pudding/jello/muffin mixes.
PJ pants?
Thank you everybody for cute ideas! Hmm, I like the apron idea. I have some cupcake print fabric and I can embroider a cupcake & her name on it? I'll see if I have enough fabric. I have linen blend fabric. Would it work as an apron? I found a lined pattern so I can either use the same fabric or quilting cotton as a lining (which I don't really want to, because the print is really not for kids). -- Edited on 12/23/12 9:53 PM -- -- Edited on 12/23/12 10:08 PM --
If you can, put in lavender sparkly anything.
I just made capes for my niece and nephews...
When I was maybe a little younger than that, my grandmother made me a crayon apron. It had a row of really skinny (crayon-sized) pockets in it, and I could wear it while coloring. :) The modern equivalent seems to be the crayon bandolier.
------~Gem in the prairie
Thank you everybody for your ideas! I managed to actually make two kids aprons. I had pink linen blend, and embroidered a cupcake design (UrbanThreads) and added a pocket. I bought some ready-to-make muffins & pudding to go with it. I think it turned out really cute! Hope the girls like it. :) Apron
That turned out ADORABLE! I bet she LOVES it!

The long-term intellectual goal of this group is to develop a fundamental, generalizable understanding of how nanoparticles and polymer multilayers can be designed to integrate with living cells in ways that preserve cell viability and cellular processes while allowing materials to carry out engineered functions. These basic principles will enable rational selection of nanomaterials for diverse applications (such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, lab-on-chip/microfluidic technologies, biosensors and medical imaging, or therapeutic strategies based on nanomaterial-modified cells), suggest directions for the development of new materials for these applications, and allow us to systematically explore societal concerns relating to the potential toxicity of nanomaterials in vivo. Further, the new materials developed in this work will expand our understanding of synthetic nanomaterial structure/property relationships per se.
Stem cells with drug-loaded nanoparticles attached promote rapid recovery following bone marrow transplants
Living cells fitted with "nano-backpacks" may ferry drugs to disease sites
Our group will focus on materials based on two-dimensional triangular and kagomé lattices, an area that we have pioneered as a small initiative during the previous funding cycle. The materials developed during the initiative period have attracted much interest and will serve as launching points for delving further in exciting new directions, such as probing exotic states of quantum matter that contain "topological order." This new order leads to a host of fascinating properties, such as fractional quantum numbers, non-Abelian statistics, emergent photons, and more. Quantum spins on a kagomé lattice may exhibit this novel type of topological order which would have possible applications in quantum computing. The addition of mobile charge carriers into these systems may lead to unconventional superconductivity and non-Fermi liquid ground states. There is clearly much interesting territory to explore once candidate samples are synthesized. Our objective is to identify and synthesize new states of matter based on frustrated spin systems.
New technique reveals nanoscale variations in "bulk" material properties
Geoffrey Beach, Assistant Professor, Department of Materials Science & Engineering
This research seeks to develop an on-chip system for the capture, manipulation, and transport of individual magnetic nanoparticles for applications in, e.g., magnetic sorting of biomolecular entities.
It is expected that a working prototype of a nanoparticle transport system with integrated single-particle detection will be developed and demonstrated. The results are widely relevant to a variety of key research areas including cell sorting, pathogen detection, chemical and biological agent detection, and controlled nanoscale assembly.
Nanoparticle control and transport using mobile magnetic domain wall traps
Nuh Gedik, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics
The goal of this seed project is to understand the emergent macroscopic properties of magnetically frustrated materials by studying the dynamics of their low energy excitations and phase transitions with the use of novel time resolved techniques. In these experiments, the material is excited by an ultrashort laser pulse and the recovery of the resulting state back to the ground state is probed with femtosecond temporal and sub-Angstrom spatial resolutions. The PI has developed different methods to selectively generate and probe charge, spin or lattice excitations in quantum materials. The information that will be obtained from these measurements will help us to understand the properties of the ground state (i.e. test whether a spin liquid behavior is realized), low energy excitations and phase diagram.

Silvija Gradečak, Assistant Professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering
This project will concentrate on direct correlation of structural/optical properties with high spatial resolution, where semiconductor nanowires will serve as a model system. Ultimately, it seeks to answer the following questions: (1) what are the critical structure-property relationships in semiconductor nanowires and nanowire heterostructures that govern electrical and optical properties on the nanoscale? (2) How can this knowledge be used to predict and tailor properties of semiconductor nanowires (materials-on-demand) for specific applications in nanophotonics and nanoelectronics?
The approach combines novel nanowire growth techniques and in-situ electron microscopy characterization techniques for direct correlation of structural and physical properties on the nanoscale. Cathodoluminescence (CL) in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is one of the techniques that will be of particular importance for this study. CL-STEM has recently been installed in the CMSE electron microscopy center (as the only instrument of its kind in the U.S.). It is anticipated that this seed research will significantly contribute to fundamental understanding of optical properties of 1D systems through a combination of rational nanowire synthesis, comprehensive structural and optical characterization, and electrical measurements.

Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics
The research objective of this seed project is to investigate electronic transport in ultra-high mobility suspended graphene devices (GDs) both to study fundamental quantum electronics and to assess their potential as chemical and mass nanosensors.
A crucial element of this research is the fabrication of high-quality suspended GDs. Multiterminal devices (see Figure below) will be used to study fundamental quantum phenomena, such as the fractional quantum Hall effect or the spin Hall effect, while high quality suspended GNRs will be actuated as tunable high-frequency nanoresonators. In addition, the possibility of passivating the edges of GNRs with desired chemical groups will enable ultra-sensitive chemical and mass detection.
Single atom-thick nano sensors
Jing Kong, Assistant Professor, Department of EECS
Graphene is the hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms forming a one-atom thick planar sheet. This layer is the building block of graphite and carbon nanotubes and it has been studied widely-by-theorists since the middle of the last century. Graphene sheets show great potential as another materials option for electronics applications. The overall goal of this seed project is to engineer the underlying metal substrate to achieve regular grain boundaries and facilitate graphene films with controlled morphology.
This seed work is divided into three parts:
1) Substrate engineering to achieve single crystal grains with regular grain boundaries
2) Investigation of the CVD growth with other types of metal substrates
3) Combining Parts 1 and 2 and identifying the optimized substrate for graphene morphology engineering

Preview: Google's tantalizing Mobile Chrome App SDK
Google's new Cordova-based toolchain lets you develop hybrid mobile apps from the same HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code as Chrome apps
Mobile app development is a huge pain point for most enterprises. The debate still rages about the best strategy. Should you develop native apps for the major smartphone and tablet platforms? That's expensive and time-consuming, and it means hiring hard-to-find specialists for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and any other platform you want to support. Should you develop mobile Web apps? That is faster and cheaper, but sacrifices both performance and features. Should you develop hybrid mobile apps, combining native app shells with Web views? That still sacrifices performance in some cases, but recovers the most important features.
The Mobile Chrome Apps development kit, recently released as a developer preview, takes the hybrid app strategy. It adds some value to the PhoneGap/Cordova technology on which it is built by combining that technology with many of the core Chrome APIs, giving developers access to a larger palette of capabilities and the ability to target Chrome apps, as well as iOS and Android hybrid mobile apps. On the flip side, this new tool chain is incompatible with some of the niceties available to PhoneGap developers, such as Adobe PhoneGap Build, and it targets only the top two mobile platforms, not the half-dozen or so supported by PhoneGap/Cordova.

Some of the most impressive Chrome desktop apps rely on Flash (or Flex, which also uses the Flash runtime), called from JavaScript. Unfortunately, that won't work on current mobile devices. Apple never allowed Flash on iOS, and Adobe stopped supporting its Flash Player for Android in 2012.

However, during July and early August, channel inventories of 3G smartphones in China appears to have increased as a result of the termination of the subsidies for small panel low cost smartphones. There also appears to be memory and other component shortages that have suppressed sales in the early part of Q3:13. This suggests to us that order activity in July and August could be muted."

Marcus Hayes Is An Idiot If He Believes Andy Reid Trading For Terrell Owens Was A "Big Mistake"
Philly.com – IT BEGAN with the acquisition of Terrell Owens. It continued with the drafting and re-signing of receiver DeSean Jackson, the signing of cornerback Asante Samuel, the disloyalty to safety Brian Dawkins, the hiring of Jim Washburn. After spending his first 5 years building a foundation of players and coaches of concrete character and solid talent, Eagles coach and football operations czar Andy Reid allowed himself to hire a handful of low-character, high-output prima donnas.
Reader Email
I feel like you agree with me on this point. Pretty short and sweet:
17-5 with TO on our squad
Got us to our only Super Bowl appearance under Reid. Straight beasted it in that game (9 catches, 122 yards; albeit on a broken leg)
Reid's only failure was how he handled his departure; not bringing TO in. What the hell is that guy talking about? I need some answers on the Eagles, but actually who cares; we suck anyway.
Hell yeah I agree with you. Hayes' article is the dumbest shit I've read all day, and I have both a Facebook account and Twitter account full of people ranting about guns. If anything, signing Terrell Owens was the steal of the century. One of the NFL's greatest WRs of all-time in his prime refused to go to the Ravens and instead bullied his way to an Eagles team who only had to give up a 5th round pick and Brandon Whiting? "Big mistake"? FOH.
If he wants to make a point about shying away from high-character guys and towards desperate attempts at that brass Super Bowl ring, fine. I get it. But don't say TO was the start of the problem. The problem was the team deciding NOT to pay TO after balling out on a broken leg, which then created a wedge between TO and Donovan since McSoup was making a ton of money yet was throwing up in the biggest game of his career. If the team would have simply payed TO what he deserved (wasn't in the top 10 WRs salaries) and maybe showed some class by acknowledging his 100th TD, maybe he and McNabb could have played another 2-3 years of high level ball and won a title. Instead the team decided to be dicks only to end up fucking themselves.
Oh, and the Birds shouldn't have drafted DeSean Jackson because of his "character"? What receiver should they have taken in the second round in '08? Malcolm Kelly? Limas Sweed? Dexter Jackson? Eat a dick, Hayes.

Upcoming movie, "Life As We Know It" may be part of an insidious plot to grow a new sitcom for next year's TV season. This new movie release is certainly none too exciting but it does have some redeeming characteristics.
Both leads in the movies cast, Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel do as much as they can in this movie on the new movies list to inject as much as they can into these bland roles. The babies (twins) that first play the infant and then the two year old are all adorable.
This one of Warner Bros. new movies titles is sure to do okay with female movie goers when it debuts. It will also probably quickly go to DVD.
Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson, writers of the screenplay, have come up with a situation where a couple dies together and wills not only their home and mortgage, but their child as well, to the child's Godparents. They're not even married and don't like each other much. All of the action takes place in the same location: the home that is willed to the Godparents.
Obviously, all of the jokes are about baby things like diapers, crying, refusing to eat and lack of sleep. And finally, and expectantly, the two Godparents grow to love each other and baby Sophie as well.
The beginning of the movie is three years before the main action. Holly (Heigl) and Messer (Duhamel) meet on a blind date. Messer acts like an idiot, even though it's a first date with a beautiful woman, and sets himself up as a playboy who rarely calls a woman back after getting her into bed.
Greg Berlanti, the director, keeps the movie on an even plain – there isn't much comedy and there isn't much drama. There are a couple of other actors in the movie but their roles are pretty lame. John Lucas plays a pediatrician who's after Holly's affections. Sarah Burns plays a social worker who is a threat to Sophie's continuing to live with Holly and Messer.
So……you should probably wait to see this on DVD unless nothing better is playing.

The divided results, combined with the news reports emanating from the recent Sechelt referendum, are deeply troubling for anyone who cares about our community.
The core task of local government is to bring us together for mutual benefit. That we are now so divided that 50 per cent of voters do not trust their government sufficiently to approve a simple loan with a grant and lower interest rates should set off alarm bells for all of us.
That our local government -under the auspices of a "neutral" Chief Electoral Officer - does not trust some citizens to vote according to the rules is astounding. And unheard of.
The basic value of contemporary society is that we come together as individuals to form local, provincial or national governments to which we all relate in the same way -as equal, respected members and citizens. When any of us are treated differently -either negatively, as reported in Christine Wood's article (Coast Reporter, March 14) or otherwise, as insiders with special status -our government has betrayed our most basic community value.
All of those who yearned for a better Sechelt only two years ago (and regardless of how we voted, who did not want a better Sechelt as the result?) must be deeply dismayed at the division and lack of trust we witness.

Since I'll be in Spain for the next two weeks, I thought I'd leave you with the beginnng of a short story. Enjoy.
Latest of night, earliest of day, as the slothful globe of the sun's first timid light creeps over the hilltops, the scent of morning carried briskly alongside the rushing illumination. But the darkness is always there first, waiting for it, grinning in its almost innocent way. Even now, upon the eave of all eaves, the grin could, in the half-light, perhaps pass as pretty. Even fair. Like a gnarled tree, warped and torn, an ugly sight to behold, and yet in the same time and place, quite charming. It could be pitied, and pity was a snare.
The landscape is almost eclipsed by a tide of bodies, moving with malignant purpose, a stride feral and yet determined, determined to bring about it's iron domination, to tighten it's hold over the world and squeeze until it bleeds. There are hills, the closest more precisely hillocks, rolling and barely elevated, where, if not for the endless marching, grass would sway in the fresh morning air. Further, towards the horizon, making it jagged, the rocky premises beyond promised real hills, hardly touched by the taming hands of mankind. Even from here, one can see the approaching swarm, distant but still irrevocably deadly & terrifying, toiling across the harsh terrain. No doubt they stretched further into the distance, blotting out all vestiges of hope.
The fields and farmsteads lying vulnerably within The Wall's looming shadow were long emptied of populace & livestock, although no reason presented itself as to why the cattle had been herded behind The Wall's protection. If there were any survivors by the end of this day, there would be more pressing matters than farming on their minds.
Leonard sniffed the air as it brushed past his skin, ruffling ever so slightly the long, silky black hair that cascaded down his shoulders like an ebony waterfall. There were embers borne aloft upon the faint breeze, a few sparse sparks of dying heat making it past The Wall. He stared down at the impossibly vast sea of flesh below, musing upon how to an onlooker, the grey line which was The Wall was dwarfed a hundred times over by the horde below. And The Wall was practically a city.
It had grown over time; it's seasoned stone proving reliable. It was a shield, or at least it had been in earlier years. But arrogance had allowed The Wall of Argothaene to thrive, to blossom into what resembled a grand settlement of stone. There were houses among the barracks, tradesmen, salesmen, families that lived upon the very border between order and chaos. There were towers, not just the steadfast, solid constructs built for defence, but spires of rock that reached solemnly toward the sun, tallest above all The Tower of Argothion, a testament to the bravery of those who lived hundreds of years ago. Those who had taken back The Wall from the stronghold that once stood in its place. Leonard sighed to the uncaring, despondent dawn. It even had it's own ruler, or director of a sorts. It's Thane, Lord Reilhost of Hasgardel. Leonard understood that he had once been a Duke charged with overseeing the plains on the Misty Land's borders.
He shifted uneasily upon the battlements, a line of gleaming metal flanking him on both sides. The defenders of The Wall would stand fast in the face of any foe. They knew that they were the shield, the best and first defence. If they could not break the back of this fell wave then no army of the known world could. Compulsively, Leonard felt his fingers curling around the hilt of his sword, Astahlfang. It shone up at him, brilliant as a diamond, all exquisite, cold edges. Below, the braying had become a roar, a ferocious chant that gripped the stomach like blood-curdling scream. He could see from here that each ghoul gripped a torch in both hands. An old trick, but not one, which even the brightest ghoul would contrive. Nargrell's dark tide was spurred on by the whip of a master whom Leonard much desired to meet. One who had led the horde upon a rampage fuelled by bloodlust, a path of war that had torn through two proud armies like parchment.
Ghouls. Folklore told that they were undead, creatures without life, animated only by their master's will. And in a twisted fashion, folklore was right. The first ghouls had been humans. They had been the dregs of humanity; petty thieves, murderers and the like, cast out, banished from the civilized kingdoms. Death would find them unless they became something less than human, something that feasted upon dead flesh and savoured cannibalized meat. The horrific act of depravity was the first step in a long road of corruption. Living well past the borders of sanity, it was painfully easy for Nargrell, the undying darkness, then only a flicker of a nightmare, to usher them further. And, under his sadistically cruel protection the ragged humans bred in the coldest reaches of the north, warped by their own sins and the manipulations of Nargrell into the ghastly creatures that existed today. Mindless, bereft of will but that too feed, and stolen of emotion apart from the deathless, burning hatred for those who damned their ancestors.
Leonard had heard once that their guttural cries and chilling roars were screams of agony. He had dismissed it as campfire talk, what one might have been told by their brother who's uncle's shipmate knew a wizard... But now, before the army to end all armies, it seemed hauntingly believable. Tortured wails or not, the beasts would feel the vengeful edge of Astahlfang.
There was a metallic ring as the blade, gleaming in the half-light, slid from its scabbard. There was strength in those tones, a sort of weight that belonged to a far greater, more dramatic sound, perhaps the roll of thunder of the steady roaring of an avalanche. In the silence that had fallen across The Wall, it was like this hissing of a snake.
The sound of tension filled the air around Leonard, the atmosphere becoming thicker than treacle. And then, with a sound of a thousand striking asps, the sky overhead became a furious black as arrows filled the sky, deadly sparrows searching for ghoulish flesh. They descended upon the lines, in a cloud thick enough to heed not fear of inaccuracy, and thudded into the horde as a storm of man's making. Mottled bodies rolled, tumbling with shafts imbedded in their chests, becoming a carpet of bleeding, empty shells.
But the line refused to break. There was no shattering this wave; not with many more showers of whistling death. They hummed frantically overhead once more, and again, striking true within the swarm, but it was clear to all who had eyes that it made no more difference than rain bombarding a mountain. The dull, harsh twanging of bows was joined by the heaver shafts, the battlements shuddering ever so slightly as a nearby ballistae flung its giant bolt with tremendous force. The crash of it's impact sounded briefly above the howling as it ploughed through skin and bone, tearing a line of shattered corpses through the endless ranks below.
With a sound resembling a hornet, something whizzed past Leonard's ear, fate conspiring to let his handsome, even beautiful features remain intact. The same could not be said for the defender to his right, who collapsed with a single arrow protruding from his flesh. Leonard's fine chain would protect from such a fate only in vain. The knowledge that death could come at any given moment should have flooded him, but, to his surprise, he found that it was already there. He bobbed slightly, executing a gentle weave as the angry hissing of barbed shafts stung the air about him, a few brief human cries cut short by dull, sticky thuds. He growled under his breath at the senseless waste.
Astahlfang resonated approvingly, a hum that could be called a metallic, steely purr.
And the ramparts shook. They shuddered as below, in the hands of salivating ghouls, the clawed, steel head of a battering ram thundered restlessly against the mighty pair of twin gates that barred their way. It was like a heartbeat, a vicious, ferocious heartbeat of some great beast, the horde. The sturdy wood could only last so long against the reckless rage that propelled that siege implement. Splinters flew, stone carvings, elaborate and painstakingly fashioned, chipped and shot aside as the onslaught bore down upon the defences. Leonard stared down, at the baleful claw, fashioned after Nargrell's own fist, as it crashed again and again upon the gates that had only once been breached. So enthralled was he, that he barely saw what happened next.
The corner of Leonard's eyes saved the swordsman. Like a creature driven mad, he ploughed into a heavy dive, crashing clumsily into the defenders upon his left who crumpled and staggered back in their shock. He felt the breastplate of the man he fell upon bruise his cheek, raising a numbness in his face. His ears rang as the ramparts upon which he formerly stood exploded in a shower of stone and dust, a thick, heavy slab of black metal, borne aloft by the beating of a beast's leathery wings, crashed through the sturdy stone.
His thoughts a mess, ears still echoing and dizziness interfering with his gaze, he stood, coughing violently at the cloud of dirt that swirled around him.

In addition to the six-piece band, the Aontas Choir, a film orchestra, the Discovery Gospel Choir, the Extreme Rhythm Drummers and a bagpipe ensemble join Celtic Woman for this event.


text: HomeIndieAmsterdam Klezmer Band: "Op een Goppe" and "A Chassid in Amsterdam" Carl December 2, 2012 Indie 5 Comments The two clips here — Op een Gopp above and A Chassid in Amsterdam below — are from the same concert. The show was part of this year's Sziget Festival which is held annually on the island of Óbudai-sziget in Budapest, Hungary. I usually don't do that, but the performance is so good and the electricity level so high that it was an easy choice. Here is a definition of klezmer: Klezmer (Yiddish כליזמר or קלעזמער, pl כליזמר,כליזמרים, from Hebrew כלי זמר — instruments of music) is a musical tradition of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe. Played by professional musicians called klezmorim, the genre originally consisted largely of dance tunes and instrumental display pieces for weddings and other celebrations. Continue Reading… This site offers a more extensive explanation. The Amersterdam Klezmer Band seems to add elements of hip-hop to klezmer. That sounds odd. But the last half of A Chassid in Amsterdam shows that it makes sense. On a side note, the singer makes me think of Rocky Balboa's brother-in-law Paulie. The band's story: The Amsterdam Klezmer Band story started in 1996. A few boys from Amsterdam with a Jewish background got inspired by the catchy sounds of Klezmer and Balkan music and started busking. Since that time the band has evolved into a seven-member band now representing the finest amongst the Klezmer and Balkan music scene in Europe.

From November 2006 to November 2007, the hires rate decreased in the South region and in the West region.
Hires are any additions to the payroll during the month. The hires rate is computed by dividing the number of hires by employment and multiplying that quotient by 100.
In the South, the hires rate fell from 3.6 percent in November 2006 to 3.3 percent in November 2007. The hires rate in the West declined from 3.8 percent in November 2006 to 3.1 percent in November 2007.
These estimates are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. These data are not seasonally adjusted. Data for November 2007 are preliminary.To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: November 2007" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 08-0044.

Abu Dhabi: Hazy conditions delayed the declaration of the first day of Ramadan on Monday, sources at the Moon-sighting Committee said.
In Focus
Fog delays declaration of Ramadan in UAE
Employ modern facilities to determine fasting month, says scholar Al Kubaisi
- Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News
- Muslims at Abu Baqr Mosue read the Quran to welcome Ramadan in Sharjah.
"Fogs obstructed observing the new crescent after birth to determine the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan which delayed the declaration of the beginning of the fasting month to late hours in the night," a source at the committee told Gulf News on Tuesday.
The late announcement raised the issue of whether Muslims have to rely on sighting the new crescent or the astronomical calculations as a means to determine the Islamic calendar.
Many Muslim scholars agree on moon-sighting as the only acceptable way for determining the beginning of the new lunar month as they root the practice of moon-sighting, particularly for Ramadan, in the Quranic and Prophetic injunctions.
However, Dr Ahmad Al Kubaisi, a prominent scholar, disagrees and thinks that astronomical calculations provide a more reliable and certain approach for determining the beginning of the Islamic lunar months.
"Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), indeed, directed the companions to establish the first day of Ramadan by sighting the moon, but the reason for his directive was the inability of early Muslims to provide accurate astronomical calculation, which can precisely determine astronomical phenomena for the next 200 years," Dr Al Kubaisi told Gulf News.
Moon-sighting, he said, was the only tool available for the early Muslim community, but nowadays Muslims should understand the Quranic and Prophetic injunctions in the light of their era and scientific achievement.
"How can we use cellphones and airplanes and refuse to employ the service of qualified observers using advance tools and facilities," Dr Al Kubaisi asked.
The UAE's moon sighting committee has announced that Wednesday is the first day of Ramadan, as predicted by astronomers.
The Sharjah Planetarium at the Department of Culture and Information announced that the Ramadan Crescent will form on July 8, 2013 at 11.14am and set at 7.08pm, five minutes before the sunset. The crescent will be seen on July 9 in the evening. So the first day of Ramadan will be July 10, astronomically, corresponding to Ramadan 01, 1434 H.
It also announced that the Shawwal crescent will appear on August 7 at 12.51am and set with the sunset, making it difficult to be seen, and hence completes the last day of Ramadan (30 days). So Friday, August 9, will be astronomically the first day of Shawwal and the first day of Eid Al Fitr.
Ebrahim Al Jarwan, Astronomy Researcher and Supervisor of Sharjah Planetarium, told Gulf News the moon-sighting committee should have waited only for 50 minutes after the sunset, which is the maximum time during which the new crescent can be seen at birth.
"There is an ample evidence to convince Muslims who are familiar with both Sharia injunction and contemporary astronomy that astronomical calculations provide more reliable approach for determining the beginning of the lunar months," Al Jarwan said.
He argued how can Muslims rely on astronomy to determine times of Prayers, while they do not embrace the same tools for determining the beginning of the fasting and other lunar months.
Al Jarwan explained the consensus reached by early Muslim jurists on rejecting astronomical methods should change now as astronomers can calculate with great precision the date and time of birth of the new moon.
He said moon-sighting, on the other hand, has become less reliable, as the climatic conditions have deteriorated markedly over the last two centuries. "Muslims do not only live in middle latitude regions of mostly clear sky as was the case in the early years of Islam but also in high latitude regions where the moon can rarely be sighted, and in areas of high humidity and frequent rain."

Director D.J. Caruso's upcoming movie, "I Am Number Four," is an action thriller starring Alex Pettyfer and co-starring Diana Agron and Teresa Palmer.
It turns out that the main character in this new movie release is an outer space alien and a high school student who constantly changes schools to keep one step ahead of other aliens who want him dead. Much of "I Am Number Four" is a lot of fun but some of it, like CG monsters and cartoonish bad guys (this new movie is produced by Michael Bay), mess up the third act. A better climax rather than yet another big battle would have given the movie picture more class.
Hunky English actor, Alex Pettyfer, the heart throb of young girls everywhere, plays the alien in "I Am Number Four." According to movie news he's slated to star in two more movies already this year: "Beastly" and "Now." No one knows yet how good those will be but Pettyfer, notwithstanding his good looks, is a disappointment in this movie. His acting is characterized by continual moodiness with the occasional angry outburst. Diana Agron, of "Glee," plays a teen with an interest in photography and Callan McAuliffe plays a geek with an interest in UFOs. Teresa Palmer plays a sexy and athletic alien. All three are better than Pettyfer.
An action sequence at the beginning of the movie lets the audience know that there are few good aliens have arrived on earth from the Planet Lorien. They're being chased by bad aliens called Mogadorians. The bad guys are getting rid of the good guys in numerical order. Number three goes out in the opening sequence so the movie starts at number four: Pettyfer. The audience never finds out why the good guys are being taken out in the order they're being destroyed.
Number four, and the man who makes believe he's his father, played by Timothy Olyphant, leave the Florida Keys and move to Paradise, Ohio. The locations were filmed in Pittsburgh. In his new identity as John Smith, Number Four matriculates into a high school full of cliches'. There's a clique of guys, run by the school's quarterback, played by Jake Abel, who delight in bullying the school geek. Then there's the gorgeous cheerleader who wants to get away from these same popular guys.
Number Four is supposed to stay under the radar at school but since his hands have an otherworldly glow, and he can throw football players and cop cars around with ease, he's a little hard to hide. It turns out that Number Four keeps ending up on YouTube, alerting the Mogodarians as to where he is.

The owner of the home in Ocean Isle Beach where seven college students died this weekend says his family is "numb, shocked and confused."
Chip Auman's 18-year-old daughter survived the fire but is still in a South Carolina hospital for complications from smoke inhalation.
So far there is no word on an official cause of the fire.
Amateur video shows the flames that ate through the first floor, and then the second of the ocean front property in ocean isle beach. Onlookers called 911 to report the horror unfolding before their eyes.
Operator: "Is there any way you can see if people are still inside?"
Caller: "We have, we, literally ma'am when I tell you the entire house is entirely and 100 percent in flames right now. If anyone is in that house, I doubt they are alive at this point."
In the fire's path of destruction, seven college students, one from Clemson, the others from the University of South Carolina, lost their lives.
Witnesses to the fire tried to rescue them from the inferno, but by the flames were just too intense.
Tim Burns tried to rescue victims. He said, "My thought was if I could just get in there, I soon discovered the back entry was blocked or burned down, the front entry was blocked there was no way I could get in the windows."
Some of the victims have been identified in published reports. They include Cassie Pendley of North Charleston, freshman Lauren Mahon of Simpsonville, freshman Will Rhea of Darlington, and 19-year-old Allison Waldon of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
Allison Waldon's father, Terry Waldon said, "That's when it sunk in. I heard her roommate was there from school and the roommate said Allison was on the second floor and no one from the second floor got out."
Lauren Mahon's friend and roommate Amanda Palacio said, "Anyone who knows Lauren knows she truly lived by the motto of living live to the fullest. She was such a strong, ambitious girl. She had a lot of goals in life, and we know she was going very far. It's sad what happened, but we know she's looking down on us and smiling and knowing we have a new angel in our lives."
Medical examiners in Chapel Hill said there won't be official identifications of the victims for a day or more. The other victims unofficially identified by family and friends include Justin Anderson and Travis Cale, both of Greenville, South Carolina.
The University of South Carolina held a prayer vigil Monday night to remember the students lost Sunday.

A South Carolina woman has been charged with homicide in the death of her four-day-old baby. Authorities say preliminary tests showed the baby had cocaine in her system.
Lorraine Patrick is accused of using cocaine while she was pregnant. The baby was born prematurely and died four days later. Patrick becomes one of more than 70 women since 1989 prosecuted statewide on charges of using drugs while pregnant.
The state Supreme Court has ruled a fetus able to survive outside the womb is a person under state child abuse and neglect laws.

One thing I love about Ciao Bello is that their menu has items that appeal to everyone. If you're a foodie, and want to be adventurous, they've got you covered. But if you're just interested in a good meal, they do a good job with Italian favorites like chicken parmigiana.
Shortly after we were seated, our waiter came by with a precious amuse-bouche. A single butternut squash raviolo, glazed with a sage cream reduction. It's my bride's favorite dish, and for Valentine's weekend, it was served with a twist - the housemade pasta was shaped into a heart.
I told my bride that the heart shape must have been created especially for her birthday. She gave me that look that tells me that she's indulging me, but she devoured her raviolo and ordered more as her entree.
We were all pretty hungry, so we ordered a pizza for the table. We decide on one I'd never sampled, a classic with Italian sausage and peppers. It came out quickly, and our kids attacked it before I could snap a photo, which explains the missing slices.
We really enjoyed this pizza. The crust was thin and crispy, with just enough chewiness to keep things interesting. The sweet peppers, fresh basil, and chunks of Italian sausage combined into a mild, savory combination that was enjoyed by both the adults and kids. Even Alex loved the pizza; he is our 12-year-old pizza connoisseur who is quick to dismiss any pizza that's too spicy or too bland.
I ordered an appetizer that I'd never tried; pork tenderloin carpaccio. The presentation was lush; the lightly cooked and seasoned pork was sliced thinly, topped with some mild arugula, shaved aged parmesan, roma tomatoes, then drizzled with a hint of the Vallone's private labelled olive oil.
The overall impression of this dish was mild but complex. The dominant flavor was that of the parmesan; the fresh arugula added a nice, subtle crunch, and the tenderloin's gently smoky flavor was more of an undertone.
Next up was the pasta, and I was drawn to something else I'd never sampled here: Bombolotti Amatriciana. The short, thick tubes of the mombolotti pasta were prepared al dente, and the signature Vallone Amatriciana sauce was a standout; the fresh tomatoes, bits of basil, and slightly crispy guanciale melded into a rich, tangy delight. Tony Vallone introduced me to this sauce many years ago the first time I shared a meal with him, and it's one I never tire of.
After this hearty pasta, I had to select a light entree, so my eye was drawn to the seafood. Sea bass sounded like a good choice, and the waiter assured me that the chef was very happy with the fish that had flown in.
What came out was a firm, flaky sea bass steak, deftly cooked and topped with another Vallone classic, the Barolo wine reduction sauce. The fish was smooth, buttery, light and flavorful, and the robust tang of the Barolo reduction was a fantastic counterpoint to the creamy flavor of the fish. On the site was some nicely crunchy garlic-grilled rapini, adding another texture and the rich butter-garlic flavor that was a satisfying complement to the fish.
We weren't surprised to enjoy this special occasion at Ciao Bello; ever since it's opened it has become one of our family's favorites. Three generations were able to each find something they really enjoyed on the menu, something that's very important for a family event like this birthday dinner. As a bonus, the resident foodie was able to enjoy some new dishes that he'd not experienced before.
That's a win in anybody's book.

UPDATED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 8:54am
WACO --The Cameron Park Zoo isn't just about showcasing exotic animals it's about conservation and inspiring it's visitor's.
Jim Fleshman, zoo director, wants his visitor's to learn about wildlife and how to protect it.
"We want them to take action and it doesn't really matter what that action is. It can be, as, as big as making a donations to the zoo or donations to the conservation efforts. It can also be, just taking home the idea that wildlife is worth protecting," said Fleshman.
In keeping a healthy atmosphere the park puts forth a big effort to maintain their wildlife and keep their animals cool in the dog days of summer.
"Every animal has water and access to water. Things like rhino's they typically get mudbaths. We do, a lot of times, rotate animals in and out because their night houses are air-conditioned and so that gives them some breaks," said Fleshman.
And they make a strong effort to go green wherever they can encouraging their staff to do the same.
"Everything from recycling to making sure that staff isn't running a hose somewhere, and so our, our people are really conscious about how we can be mission centric on everything and conservation is a huge part of our mission," said Fleshman.
And of course we're in Texas so conserving water is at the forefront.
"We reduce the amount that we water. We also do a lot of water reclamation. We have a 60 inch main that runs underneath. It's a storm drain that runs underneath the lake here. We have actually, water that goes into that, we reclaim that and pump that back into the lake itself," said Fleshman.
Cameron Park even takes their conservation efforts beyond the park gates.
"We do research in Trinidad and Tobago on a species of water snake. We've supported, Sumatra tiger conservation and we actually sent staff to Sumatra in order to work with tigers that were in captivity there," said Fleshman.

The American Diabetes Association announced CVS/pharmacy as the sponsor of American Diabetes Month, which is held in November.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The American Diabetes Association announced CVS/pharmacy as the sponsor of American Diabetes Month, which is held in November.
The association said Monday that, specifically, American Diabetes Month will be sponsored by CVS/pharmacy's free ExtraCare Advantage for Diabetes program, which provides exclusive savings, prescription management services, recipes, and pharmacist tips for those living with diabetes and their caregivers.
Starting Oct. 1, the American Diabetes Association will ask the public to become part of its "Stop Diabetes" movement by sharing a personal image on its main Facebook page that represents what "A Day in the Life of Diabetes" means to them. The image can be a picture of themselves or someone they care about, or represent how the disease impacts their lives.
To encourage people to share Day in the Life of Diabetes photos on Facebook, CVS/pharmacy will donate $1 to the American Diabetes Association for every image uploaded, up to $25,000.
"CVS/pharmacy is proud to be part of the movement to Stop Diabetes by sponsoring American Diabetes Month," Papatya Tankut, vice president of pharmacy professional services at CVS/pharmacy, said in a statement. "We understand the importance of raising awareness among our customers so that they can better manage their disease. We look forward to working with the American Diabetes Association in helping to further their mission."
The association noted that nearly 26 million American children and adults have diabetes, and another 79 million are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Recent estimates project that as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes in 2050 unless more steps are taken to help people address the condition.
"American Diabetes Month is a time to communicate the seriousness of diabetes and the importance of diabetes prevention and control," commented Larry Hausner, chief executive officer of the American Diabetes Association. "We are excited to be working with CVS/pharmacy to will help us further our reach and raise critical awareness about this deadly disease during November."

As we plan and take steps to prevent the spread of the virus, our commitment to the health of our college community is paramount. At the same time, we remain committed to meeting the educational promises that we have made to our students. To accomplish both will require a community-wide effort. Keeping this college community healthy is everyone's responsibility. Each of us must incorporate as habits the recommended strategies for minimizing the spread of the flu.
Public health officials have made available a wealth of information on H1N1, its symptoms, how to reduce your chances of exposure and what to do if you do come down with it. We have provided links to these public health resources on our MCC Health Services web page. Information and advance planning are our best defenses; please be informed and make a plan for yourself and your family. Finally, I urge you to be patient.

Who Has the Best Beer Selection in the Tri-State?
You Find $1800 Sticking Out Of An ATM….What Would You Do? [Poll]
We live in challenging economic times and trying to make ends meet is very difficult for a lot of us right now. Sometimes buying groceries for your family or paying the electric bill in the dead of winter can be very difficult and people are sometimes motivated to do what they can or what they feel they need to do in order to get what they need, but how far would you go?
Should Wearing Saggy Pants In Public Be Banned? [Poll]
We have all seen it, that one guy who wears his pants so low, three-quarters of his underwear is in plain view. Some of these people wear their pants SO low that if it were not for their underwear, we would see a lot more of them than we would want or even need to see. Some say it's offensive and should be banned in public places and others believe in freedom of expression... and as long as certain parts aren't showing or even visible, it can't be legislated.
Is The New Police Entry Law, SB-1 , Good For Anybody? [Poll]
There has been a lot of talk lately about the new police entry law, SB-1, which was signed into law by Gov. Mitch Daniels a couple of days ago. The new law basically gives Hoosiers the right to resist unlawful entry by law enforcement.

Cantus: All Is Calm
Friday, December 7, 8pm |
Acclaimed as "the premier men's vocal ensemble in the United States," Cantus is committed to inspiring audiences with music performed at the highest level. Through new arrangements of European carols and war-songs for a capella voices, the multi-media show "All Is Calm" recalls the remarkable World War I truce between Allied Forces and German soldiers in no man's land on Christmas 1914. The Western Front, Christmas 1914. Out of the violence comes a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man's Land singing "Stille Nacht." Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.
With words and songs drawn from the era, All Is Calm recalls the remarkable, spontaneous World War I truce between Allied and German forces in No Man's Land over Christmas 1914. This compelling ode to peace was created by Peter Rothstein, artistic director of Theater Latté Da in Minneapolis and features Cantus, one of America's finest vocal ensembles, with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach. All Is Calm is a co-production of Cantus and Theater Latté Da.
All Is Calm relates an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers laid down their arms to celebrate the holiday together by trading carols, sharing food and drink, playing soccer and burying each others' dead. In some places the truce lasted only a night, in others until New Year's Day. This dramatic re-telling contains quotes and readings from thirty World War I figures brought to life by actors Matt Rein, David Roberts and Alan Sorenson. The tapestry of sound performed by the artists of Cantus ranges from patriotic tunes and trench songs to medieval Scottish ballads and holiday carols from England, Wales, France and Germany. The show opens with a set of carols arranged by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams for his own battalion.

According to Butler, Maharaj wanted to settle the dispute face-to-face. At Maharaj's request, Butler agreed to lure the elder Moo Young to Room 1215 of the DuPont Plaza, where Maharaj planned to reclaim his money.
Butler contends that when the Jamaican showed up — unexpectedly with his son — Maharaj jumped from behind the bathroom door with a gun. An argument ensued, and Maharaj shot Derrick Moo Young repeatedly. Butler claims he was ordered to tie up the son, who broke free and ran upstairs. Maharaj chased him down, Butler professes, and executed the young man he had known since he was a boy — a young man who had referred to Maharaj as "Uncle."
Butler alleges Maharaj then marched him, at gunpoint, to his car parked in front of the hotel, where the duo remained for the next three hours, watching for the police to arrive.
Butler's story was corroborated by the dozen sets of Maharaj's fingerprints found throughout the room, which Maharaj has never denied visiting. The projectiles and casings found at the scene were from a 9mm Smith & Wesson Model 39 gun, the same make and model Maharaj owned, one of 270,000 the company had produced to date.
However damaging, Butler's testimony was riddled with inconsistencies. The native Bahamian changed a number of elements of his story. First Butler said he was the one who reserved the room; then it was Maharaj. He admitted lying to police about when Maharaj allegedly appeared; first Butler claimed Maharaj showed up at the room unannounced after the Moo Youngs; then he said he leaped out from behind a door inside the suite after they had arrived. Butler also failed part of his polygraph — unlike Maharaj, who passed every question.
Lt. John Burhmaster says he "can't remember" why Butler was never given a paraffin test to corroborate his assertion that he did not fire a gun that morning, nor does Burhmaster recall why he neglected to examine or test Butler's clothing, even after the alleged eyewitness admitted he changed his blood-soaked attire before giving a statement. In fact Burhmaster failed to test any clothing or conduct any paraffin tests. "Maharaj had taken a shower," the lieutenant offers by way of explanation. Nor does Burhmaster, who today heads the Miami Police Department's homicide division, think it strange a murderer would kill two people, spare the only eyewitness, and then hold him at gunpoint for hours, yards away from the murder scene, before inexplicably allowing him to walk away.
The state's other main witness was Jamaican journalist Tino Geddes, who now lives in Kingston, where he freelances for the Sun-Sentinel, among other publications. Geddes had originally provided an alibi for Maharaj. The day after the murders, he told the Miami Herald: "I am certain that this man who I was sitting having a meal with [Maharaj, at Denny's] didn't shoot anybody shortly before that. From his demeanor, no human could sit there with his editor, his wife, and one of his main columnists and could put on an act like that."
But shortly before the trial, Geddes changed his story and testified Maharaj had been scheming to murder the Moo Youngs.
"At times, in better times, Kris was fun to be with, but there was a dark side and he had a temper," Geddes says in a thick Jamaican accent during a recent telephone interview with New Times. "The day he was arrested, he said, 'If anyone asks, you were with me.' At the time, I thought I was helping him; it was the sort of thing to do."
Geddes claims he was responsible for placing Maharaj in Fort Lauderdale at the time of the murders. "I convinced a businessman in Fort Lauderdale that events that actually happened on Wednesday were on the Thursday. It gave Kris an alibi."
When he realized the severity of the crimes with which his boss was charged, Geddes called his initial statement a complete lie. "Krishna Maharaj had solicited my assistance to murder certain people, including the Moo Youngs, at the very same hotel not two weeks before, but the Moo Youngs never turned up," Geddes told New Times. "On the second occasion he used Butler.... The rest is history.
"I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he is guilty."
Defense investigator Ron Petrillo, who got to know Geddes in the runup to the trial, offers a very different take. "A few weeks before the trial, [Tino] disappeared," recalls Petrillo. "My first reaction was that something had happened to him. Then he called me late one night at my office, and I could tell by the crackling on the line that he was overseas.
"He said, 'I'm afraid,' and I told him I could arrange protection for him. The next time I saw him was as a witness for the prosecution."
Geddes laughs at the notion he was threatened. "That's a lot of rubbish," he says with a stupefied chuckle.
Further straining his credibility, Geddes admits to New Times that at the time of Maharaj's trial, he was facing criminal charges for illegally bringing ammunition into Jamaica from the United States. The two Florida attorneys who led the prosecution against Maharaj flew to Jamaica and testified on Geddes's behalf to help him escape a jail sentence that might have resulted in his being incarcerated during Maharaj's trial.

The yeast two-hybrid system was used to identify proteins that interact with Ras. The H-Ras protein was found to interact with a guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator (GDS) that has been previously shown to regulate guanine nucleotide exchange on another member of the Ras protein family, Ral. The interaction is mediated by the C-terminal, noncatalytic segment of the RalGDS and can be detected both in vivo, using the two-hybrid system, and in vitro, with purified recombinant proteins. The interaction of the RalGDS C-terminal segment with Ras is specific, dependent on activation of Ras by GTP, and blocked by a mutation that affects Ras effector function. These characteristics are similar to those previously demonstrated for the interaction between Ras and its putative effector, Raf, suggesting that the RalGDS may also be a Ras effector. Consistent with this idea, the RalGDS was found to inhibit the binding of Raf to Ras.

The relationship between high blood pressure and progesterone, especially for women is significant. The
Weill Medical College of Cornell University found evidence that the sex
steroid hormone progesterone affects their blood vessels.
That in turn directly affect the rise in blood pressure that often occurs in women after menopause, when their natural production of progesterone or estrogen drops.
Some factors that might contribute to how your blood pressure can increase with the use of progesterone.
Progesterone is naturally secreted by ovulating women in their ovaries during the second half of their menstrual cycle, after the release of their egg, in helping to prepare their uterus to receive and fertilize that egg.
Men do produce progesterone, but theirs are produced in their adrenal gland.
This steroid affects your heart, your brain and your blood vessels. Progestogens,
a progesterone like substance is also ingested by women through their
birth control pills, menopausal hormone replacement therapy.
Remember older women taking menopausal hormone replacement are also most likely taking blood pressure medication. Therefore, women in general are at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure than men when their estrogen levels falls.
It blocks the uptake of calcium by calcium channels in smoothing out your muscle cells in the same way calcium channel blockers medication works.
But when women reaches menopausal age and they stop taking birth control pills, or their bodies makes less progesterone; naturally there have been incidences of increased blood pressure.
As you know all medicines carry side effects and mix of progesterone and high blood pressure carries additional risks.
Please seek immediate medical attention if any of these side effects occur.
