Hurricanes Finding Balance in New Lines Andrew Luistro January 25, 2014 Carolina Hurricanes, From the Locker Room 4 Comments The Carolina Hurricanes have suddenly become one of the most potent offensive teams in the NHL, getting contribution from all four lines. And it all started at the top. Though the trio of Eric Staal, Alex Semin, and Jiri Tlusty began the season together, after being deemed ineffective and failing to score at a pace similar to last year, they were quickly broken up. But since being reunited five games ago, they have combined for 22 points (10G, 12A) and the Hurricanes as a whole have scored 20 goals. "Well I think we are better together, to be honest," Staal said. "I think each of us knew what we were last year and what made us successful." But while Saturday's matinee start, a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators, featured a plethora of scoring, just two points came from the top line. Instead, with former Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson spending the majority of his time against Staal and company, it was the Hurricanes' bottom-six that did the dirty work. Nathan Gerbe opened the scoring with a sharp-angle shot that slid between Robin Lehner's legs, and his saucer pass over a diving Marc Methot found Manny Malhotra, who made no mistake. The two finished with three points each, and the third member of the third line, Drayson Bowman, had two assists. "For us to be successful continuously, we have to get effort from all four lines," said Malhotra. "We're expecting a lot out of each other and out of each line. It's nice when we can contribute like that and give 'Skinns' and 'Stally' and 'Sems' the night off." Jeff Skinner and Jordan Staal didn't score, but each also beat Lehner, only to see their shots clang off the post. Even the fourth line got into the action. After Andrej Sekera skated circles around the Ottawa defense, looking very reminiscent of Joni Pitkanen, he found a wide open Riley Nash, who had time to gather the puck, settle it, and pick a corner. "People got their money's worth," Sekera said. "I just try to create something for the guys down there, some confusion, and space opens up. That's when you can capitalize on that." Riley Nash has quietly put together a solid offensive campaign despite getting limited ice-time — including rarely any on the powerplay — and being shuffled all around the lineup. His even-strength points per 60 minutes rank 5th on the team, behind Eric Staal, Skinner, Semin and Gerbe. Even Tuomo Ruutu got into the action, putting home a powerplay tally, just the Hurricanes' second since their offensive onslaught of the NHL began. "When you're not scoring, the first thing you've got to do is shoot the puck. Get a little selfish," said Kirk Muller. And that's been the difference. For the fifth game in a row, the Hurricanes eclipsed 30 shots, with a season high 51 coming in their only loss during the stretch, a 5-3 setback to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Had it not been for the heroics of Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop — an egregious omission from Team USA — that result, too, may have swung a more positive way. In their 28 defeats, the 'Canes average 29.8 shots per game. In their now 23 victories, they average 31.8 shots per game. Though only a two-shot difference, those two shots represent two more opportunities to score. A shot is never a bad play, and sometimes the unlikely ones go in, as evidenced by Gerbe's goal. They can't all be highlight reel. The Hurricanes have now won 3 in a row, and 9 of their last 12, to claw back into the thick of the playoff race. And the contributions have come from everywhere. Since the shuffle, lines one, three, and four have scored 10, 4, and 3 goals, and have all taken turns carrying play. "Your top guys some nights have to neutralize theirs, and when you get goals from those other guys, the third and fourth lines, it's a huge plus. Goals from Manny, 'Gerbs', 'Ruuts', they made a big difference in the game." Next up for the 'Canes are the red-hot Columbus Blue Jackets, fresh off of a recently halted eight-game winning streak. With a victory, they will vault back into a playoff spot. Perhaps this time it will be Jordan Staal's line that provides the scoring. 4 Responses tumpover January 25th, 2014 ndrewL7 Important point: "Your top guys some nights have to neutralize theirs & when you get goals from those other guys it's a huge plus." ndrewL7 January 25th, 2014 tumpover Yep, and it's truly the difference between playoff teams and not.

More About Searching
Now that we have created an index, we will need a program to retrieve results from it. Indeed, that's just the beginning—if we want, we can write multiple programs that read through the DBM file, searching in a variety of ways.
Our first and simplest search will accept input from an HTML form. The form will allow users to specify a single word to search for. Unfortunately, the way we have indexed the files makes it easy to retrieve single words, but impossible to retrieve phrases. A different data structure would make it easier to perform such searches, but would undoubtedly increase the size of the index.
Listing 1 is a simple HTML form we can use for searching. This form expects to submit its results to a CGI program called dbsearch.pl, which is in Listing 4 (see Resources). dbsearch.pl opens the DBM file—again, using MLDBM and DB_File—and retrieves the keys from the hash associated with the search term. By sorting the keys (which contain URLs) by their values (which are integers indicating how many times a word appeared in a file), it's easy to create a simple frequency chart. In this particular case, dbsearch.pl displays all of the results, but it would not be difficult to display only the top 20.
Searching for a single term might be easy to implement, but the best search engines allow for AND and OR searches. Listing 2 is an HTML form that differs from the previous version by adding a radio button. If the radio button is set to the default OR position, any one of the search terms may appear in the document. An AND search requires that both or all of the search terms appear in the document in order for it to match.
A version of better-dbsearch.pl, which allows for AND and OR searches, is in Listing 5 (see Resources).
If the user chooses OR, dbsearch.pl will have to find the highest total for a combination of hashes, rather than just one. A simple example would be the hashes %odds and %evens, as follows:
%odds = (one => 1, three => 3, five => 5); %evens = (two => 2, four => 4, six => 6);
We can turn this into a simple hash by mixing them together:
%numbers = (%odds, %evens);This technique will not work in our case, because it is quite possible that both words will appear in the same file. If that happens, there will be duplicate keys—unlike %odds and %evens, where no key appears in both hashes. For our OR search to work, we will need to combine the values in a master hash:
foreach my $word (@terms) { my $frequency = $data{$word}; foreach my $filename (keys %$frequency) { $full_results{$filename} += $frequency->{$filename}; } }The above code is not very different from its predecessor in dbsearch.pl. The main change is that it introduces a new hash, %full_results, where the keys are file names and the values reflect the total scores for each of the search terms. This algorithm means a file containing one copy of both search terms will be ranked the same as one in which the same search term appears twice.
To handle AND searches, we must keep track of how many search terms appear in each file. If a file contains the same number of search terms as are in @terms, the file is acceptable. If it contains fewer matches than @terms, the file should be dropped from consideration.
We can implement this by using the %match_counter hash, where the keys are file names and the values are integers representing the number of search terms contained in a file. By adding a single line to the foreach loop, we can keep track of how many search terms appear in each file:
$match_counter{$filename}++ if ($boolean eq "and");
Once we have exited from the foreach loop, but before we announce the results to the user, we prune file names from %full_results. Because the keys for %full_results are the same as for %match_counter, the code is relatively simple:
foreach my $filename (keys %full_results) { delete $full_results{$filename} unless ($match_counter{$filename} == @terms); }Notice how we use delete to remove the hash element. Using undef on $full_results{$filename} would make the value undefined, but would leave the hash key unaffected. delete removes the key and its corresponding value from the hash completely.
Also notice how we can get the size of @terms simply by naming the array itself. The == forces scalar context on both of its operands, so there is no need to use the scalar keyword before @terms.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The community-based programming offered by Reality House Programs, Inc. is specifically designed to provide individuals in the criminal justice system the treatment, education, and resources necessary to productively transition into society.
Reality House Programs, Inc. provides multi-dimensional housing and treatment facilities for participants involved in the criminal justice system. We serve primarily an adult (17 years old and older) population which has been sent to the facilities through the following admission categories: reentry, substance abuse or mental health testing, substance abuse or mental health counseling & education, life skills education, pre-sentence evaluation, 24/7 monitoring, 24/7 lockdown, work release, home planning, and safe housing.
The number of admissions in these classifications has seen steady growth over the past decade. However, changes in state and federal budgets and the rapidly increasing number of inmates in the Department of Corrections who require mental health & substance abuse services will have a dramatic impact on the number of participants we serve, their length of stay, the level of security we provide, and the type of treatment offered.

FORT BRAGG (AP) -- Two members of an anti-war veteran's group were escorted off Fort Bragg after handing out baked goods and anti-war literature.
The Army veterans, 28-year-old Jason Hurd and 23-year-old Steve Casey, were told they needed a permit Monday after they began handing out gift bags outside a post shopping center.
Attached to the bags was the monthly newsletter from Iraq Veterans Against the War. Both men belong to its Asheville chapter.
Hurd and Casey said they would go get a permit, but as they packed up, base police arrived after a soldier complained about the literature.
No charges were filed.

Israel settlements: rabbis say soldiers' loyalty to God trumps army orders
In an escalating standoff over potential Israel settlement evacuations, dozens of teachers in government-affiliated religious seminaries signed a declaration on Thursday that could reverse long-time support for the secular state.
Majdi Mohammed/AP
Tel Aviv, Israel
In Israel, a standoff is escalating between the Israeli defense establishment and religious nationalists over the possible evacuation of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. On Thursday, a group of rabbis published a letter saying a soldiers' loyalty to the divine takes precedence over their commanders.
The declaration was signed by dozens of teachers in government-affiliated religious seminaries – known as "hesder'' yeshivas – after Defense Minister Ehud Barak took the unprecedented step earlier this week of cutting ties with a hesder yeshiva because its dean, Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, openly advocates refusing of orders in case of an evacuation.
One of the signatories, hesder yeshiva Rabbi Ariel Bareli, told Israel Radio that faith trumps implementing democratic adopted government policy in the event of a clash.
"You must understand, that the desire of the nation isn't meaningful for someone who believes in the creator,'' he said.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Recently I saw a recipe for Panera's Broccoli Cheddar Soup on Lynn's Kitchen Adventures. I could not wait to try this, as it is one of my favorites from this restaurant. The day I made this I was not feeling well, and it was the perfect soup to make me feel better!
The only change I made was I used 2 Cups of Chicken Broth and 4 Cups of Water. The only reason being that I ran out of chicken broth!
This was a great soup and well enjoyed by my family!

- 12 Signs of Adult ADD/ADHD
12 Signs of Adult ADD/ADHD
Medically Reviewed by George Krucik, MD, MBA | Published on January 22, 2013
Symptoms of Adult ADD/ADHD
Symptoms of Adult ADD/ADHD
ADD/ADHD affects about five percent of children and more than half of them will carry those symptoms into adulthood (CDC, 2011). In addition, many adults have ADD/ADHD but have never been diagnosed.
Untreated ADD/ADHD can cause numerous mental and physical health problems, difficulties with work and finances, and can put a strain on relationships. It's important to recognize the signs of adult ADD/ADHD so that you can get proper treatment. Click "next" to learn the symptoms of adult ADD/ADHD.
Lack of Focus
Lack of Focus
Possibly the most telltale sign of ADD/ADHD, "lack of focus" goes beyond difficulty paying attention. It means being easily distracted, finding it difficult to listen to others in a conversation, overlooking details, and not finishing work or projects.
The flip side to that is hyper-focus, which is explained on the next slide.
While people with ADD/ADHD are often easily distractible, the flip side of the coin is called hyper-focus. While engaged in an activity they like, a person with ADD/ADHD can be so engrossed in something that they are ignorant to anything else around them. This kind of focus makes it easier to lose track of time, ignore those around you, and cause relationship problems.
Life can seem chaotic for everyone at times, but someone with ADD/ADHD experiences a more hectic life on a regular basis. This can make it difficult to keep everything in its right place. You may have problems with time management, keeping track of tasks, procrastination, chronic lateness, and prioritizing.
It's human to forget things occasionally, but for someone with ADD/ADHD,forgetfulness is a part of life. This includes routinely forgetting where you've put something or important dates. Some can be menial, while others can be serious. The bottom line is that forgetfulness can be damaging to careers and relationships because it can be confused with carelessness.
Impulsivity in someone with ADD/ADHD can manifest as interrupting others during conversation, being socially inappropriate, rushing through tasks, or acting without much consideration to the consequences.
A person's shopping habits are often a good indication of ADD/ADHD. Impulse buying, especially on items they can't afford, is a common symptom of adult ADD/ADHD.
Emotional Problems
Emotional Problems
Life with ADD/ADHD can seem chaotic, as though your emotions are on a constantly up-and-down journey. You can easily become bored and go looking for excitement on a whim. Small frustrations can seem intolerable or bring on depression and mood swings.
Untreated emotional problems can have a polarizing effect, which can add complications to personal and professional relationships.
Poor Self-image
Poor Self-image
Adults with ADD/ADHD are often hypercritical of themselves, which can lead to a poor self-image. This is due in part of their inability to concentrate and other symptoms that may cause problems in school, work, or relationships. You may view these difficulties as personal failures or underachievement, which can cause you to see yourself in a negative light.
Lack of Motivation
Lack of Motivation
While you might be open to doing everything at once, you also may feel unmotivated. This is problem commonly seen in children with ADD/ADHD who can't often focus on schoolwork, but it also can happen with adults. Coupled with procrastination and poor organizational skills, it may be difficult for an adult with ADD/ADHD to finish a project because they can't focus for long periods of time.
Restlessness & Anxiety
Restlessness & Anxiety
As an adult with ADD/ADHD, you may feel like your motor can't shut off. Your yearning to keep moving and doing things can lead to frustration when you can't do something immediately. This yields to restlessness, which can lead to frustrations and anxiety. Anxiety is a common symptom of adult ADD/ADHD, as the mind tends to replay worrisome events repeatedly.
Health Problems
Health Problems
Impulsivity, lack of motivation, emotional problems, and disorganization can lead a person with ADD/ADHD to neglect their health. This can be compulsive poor eating, neglecting exercise, or forgoing important medication. (Nutrition Reviews, 2007) Anxiety and stress negatively affect health, so without good habits, the negative effects ofADD/ADHD can make other symptoms worse.
Relationship Issues
Relationship Issues
An adult with ADD/ADHD often has trouble in relationships, whether they are professional, romantic, or platonic. The traits of talking over people in conversation, inattentiveness, and easily being bored can be draining on relationships as a person can come across as insensitive, irresponsible, or uncaring.
Other Symptoms
Other Symptoms
Other common traits among adults with ADD/ADHD include:
- changing employers often
- few personal or work-related achievements
- higher use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs
- repeated patterns of relationship issues, including divorce
What's Next?
What's Next?
Adults with ADD/ADHD can find solutions to overcome the difficulties of their condition. Getting organized, sticking with plans, and finishing what you started can begin with cognitive behavioral therapy or meeting with a professional organizer.
It's important to learn how to manage stress, eat right, and get enough sleep regularly so that your body is best equipped to handle the challenges it faces.

Famous Tattoos
Tattoos have become such a common place in society that even celebrities are sporting a good amount anymore. Not only do rappers have them, but movie stars, singers, and athletes have some sort of tattoo now a days. While it may seem frowned upon in the acting industry, the advancements in makeup and editing have allowed producers to easily remove a tattoo, while some may choose to showcase an actor's tattoos. Some of the more famous tattoos are shown below:
Do you think that the media's impact on tattoos had lead to an increase in people wanting more tattoos?

Faculty and students from the University of Cambridge visited Harvard for the Herchel Smith PhD Student Symposium 2012
Harvard University's first benefactor, John Harvard, was an alumnus of the University of Cambridge — the first of many connections between these two eminent institutions. One of the more recent connections was made by another benefactor: Herchel Smith (1925–2001), a scientist and philanthropist whose interest in underwriting top-tier research in the life sciences has resulted in a premier graduate fellowship program at Harvard and Cambridge.
The Herchel Smith Graduate Fellowship Program, created in 2008 from an endowment Smith had established years earlier to support a variety of his research interests, provides funding for PhD students at both universities.
The Fellowship's activities also include a biennial research conference for the Harvard and Cambridge Fellows that rotates between the US and the UK. This was Harvard's year to host, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences sponsored two days of activities that encouraged fellows and their advisors from both universities to make meaningful social and intellectual connections.
The Herchel Smith PhD Student Symposium 2012, held on June 21 and 22, began with welcoming remarks from Christopher T. Walsh, the Hamilton Kuhn Professor at the Harvard Medical School and the outgoing chair of the Harvard Integrated Life Sciences program. Walsh was joined in those opening remarks by Professor Sir Tom Blundell of Cambridge, and by Peta Stevens, the head of the Cambridge University Research Office.
Over the next two days, students and faculty from Cambridge and from all of the 12 HILS PhD programs (biological and biomedical sciences, biological sciences in dental medicine, biological sciences in public health, biophysics, chemical biology, chemistry and chemical biology, immunology, molecular and cellular biology, neuroscience, organismic and evolutionary biology, systems biology, and virology) presented their research in talks and poster sessions.
Sessions on June 21 took place in the Northwest Lab Building on the Cambridge campus; faculty and fellows gathered that evening for a festive dinner at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. On June 22, morning sessions were offered in Gordon Hall on the Longwood campus, and then attendees traveled to the Broad Institute for an afternoon tour.
Herchel Smith did his undergraduate study at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and completed his PhD at Cambridge in 1952. As a postdoctoral fellow at Oxford (1952-56) and later a lecturer in organic chemistry at Manchester (1956-61), Smith began to develop novel methods for the modification of the chemical structures of naturally occurring steroids, and also of their total synthesis.
He moved to the United States in 1961 to work for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, where his research led to the invention of the first synthetic birth control pills, injectable contraceptives, and other hormone therapy treatments.
Smith retired from Wyeth in 1973 and devoted himself to philanthropy, making significant benefactions to a number of universities to promote the subjects in which he was particularly interested: chemistry, medicine, and patent law. Herchel Smith endowment funds also support endowed professorships, postdoctoral fellowships, and undergraduate scholarships and fellowships at Harvard and Cambridge.

Sarissa Capital seeks retirement of ARIAD CEO, board seats
Sarissa Capital disclosed in a regulatory filing that it has been in negotiations with members of ARIAD's board in an attempt to avoid a potential proxy contest. Sarissa said it indicated its belief that the board undertake measures to effect and facilitate the imminent retirement of Harvey Berger as CEO and that any settlement of a potential proxy contest must include the CEO�s retirement. It added that no settlement has been reached. Sarissa believes the board "as currently constructed is not up to the task of providing the stewardship necessary to optimally navigate" the company. On February 19, Sarissa notified ARIAD that it intends to appear at the company's 2015 annual meeting of stockholders to nominate and seek to elect Richard Mulligan, Ph.D. and Anna Protopapas to the eight member staggered board of directors. Sarissa intends to seek to unseat Harvey Berger, ARIAD's Chairman and CEO, and Wayne Wilson, the lead independent director, with its two nominees. Sarissa added that it is "extremely concerned" with the conduct of certain members of the board, "particularly with respect to compensation, governance and financial matters." The hedge fund said it may ultimately initiate court proceedings to seek to remove one or more directors for cause based on potential breaches of their fiduciary duties. Sarissa Capital has a 6.9% stake in ARIAD.

ARIAD expects to file IND application for AP32788 this year
ARIAD says "We expect to file an investigational new drug application for AP32788 this year and to begin a Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept trial in 2016. This will be our third IND filing of an internally discovered oncology development candidate in the past eight years." The company also says "We anticipate presenting updates from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of brigatinib at the 2015 European Lung Cancer Conference and the American Society of Clinical Oncology meetings later this year. Additionally, we expect to present preliminary data from the brigatinib ALTA trial in the second half of 2015."
ARIAD sees FY15 net product revenues from sales of Iclusig $130M-$140M
Net product revenues from sales of Iclusig are expected to be in the range of $130M-$140M. This guidance includes sales of Iclusig in the U.S., Europe, and other select countries where ARIAD has distributorships in place. R&D expenses are expected to be in the range of $185M-$195M, reflecting increased development activities for Iclusig, brigatinib, and AP32788, as well as ongoing discovery research efforts. Expenses related to Iclusig represent approximately 50% of total R&D expenses and include the three new planned trials to begin this year, as well as all ongoing trials. Expenses related to brigatinib represent approximately 35% of total R&D expenses and include the two ongoing trials and NDA-enabling pre-clinical studies.

I know it was very unclear where Bush stood on the whole 527 advertising issue. I mean, afterall, he only said, "what I think we ought to do is not have them on the air." Seriously, how could the average person think that meant he was against them? Afterall, he didn't say dammit or hell. Surely it wasn't a real condemnation. He could've been clear like the Kerry campaign, who absolutely, unequivocally stated, "what MoveOn.org is doing is perfectly fine, while what the Swift Boat Veterans are doing is "dishonest" and "dishonorable"." Now that's pure, unadulterated condemnation if I've ever seen it…..
Now Bush is out again, opening questions about Kerry's service by denouncing ads that question John Kerry's Vietnam war record — and all other attack ads by outside groups as well. Such a hate-monger. He again said Kerry served honorably in Vietnam, really piling on to the idea that Kerry is unfit for command. When Bush says the anti-Kerry ad — plus all others by ostensibly independent groups — are "bad for the system", we must assume he's just a right wing, Christian fanatical hell bent on world domination for saying such a thing.
So when will he ever denounce the ads?

Dictionary » O » Overhang OverhangDefinition noun (molecular biology) Unpaired nucleotide(s) in the end of a DNA molecule, which may be produced by a staggered cut on the DNA using a restriction enzyme. (dentistry) An excess of filling material projecting beyond the cavity margin or normal tooth contour.
To hang across or beyond; be suspended over.
In molecular biology, an overhang can be in either strand of a DNA molecule. Thus, a 3' or 5' overhang may be produced. An overhang may only be a single unpaired nucleotide in the end of DNA or a longer stretch of unpaired nucleotides like in cohesive end.
Compare: blunt end (molecular biology).
Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page Results from our forumDesigning primers to clone into expression vectorHmmm... I would say create 2 primers that cover the end of your sequence of iterest and add a restriction site of your choice as an overhang at each end.

LIC PCR Primer with Signal Peptide?... system with transport, it can be mislocated. Of course, the primer won't bind on the START codon. Imagine it in two parts I unaligning part (the overhang + ATG and maybe even some more nucleotides) II aligning part (the part which aligns behind the signal peptide) - this part must be long enough ...

PLease Please I need help with my PCR! Greatly appreciated!Shouldn't you have some overhang on the primers, so that the RE will be able to cut your product? As of the PCR, I would just cut the lower band and not bother with the rest. What is your template?

Re: restriction enzyme question.... made...the Taq polymerase will only extend from the 3 end...on one website I read: During the first round of PCR the complimentary strand of the overhang will be added, and in subsequent rounds of PCR this site will be amplified along with the rest of your PCR product. In the end, you will have ...

Sir Ranulph Fiennes to attempt record Antarctica trek
British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes is to lead the first team on foot across Antarctica during the southern winter.
The six-month expedition next year is being called the Coldest Journey, crossing terrain where the temperature has hit -90C.
It will be 68-year-old Sir Ranulph's latest record attempt. Past feats have seen him go pole to pole and climb Everest as a pensioner.
Guinness World Records describes him as the world's greatest living explorer.
"We do it because we like to break world records," says Sir Ranulph, his bushy eyebrows icing up while on a training session close to the Arctic.
"Sometimes we don't succeed, but it's what we go for. It's our specialty."
The team will be dropped off by ship on the Pacific coast of the continent and wait for the equinox on 21 March 2013 before setting off over the ice shelf.
'Impossible' expeditionA hundred years ago on the same ice shelf, Capt Scott died on his polar expedition as he was caught out by the start of the southern winter.
Achievements of Sir Ranulph Fiennes
2009: Became the oldest Briton to reach the summit of Mount Everest, aged 65, after earlier attempts
2003: Ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days - after suffering a heart attack a few months earlier
2000: Lost most fingers on his left hand to frostbite during an unaided attempt to reach the north pole - and carried out amputations himself using a fretsaw
1992-93: First unaided crossing of the Antarctic continent
1991: Led an expedition that discovered the Lost City of Ubar on the Yemeni border
1990: Set world record for unsupported northerly polar travel
1979-82: Made the first journey round the world crossing through both the north and south poles, travelling on sea and land
- First to reach both poles and cross Antarctic and Arctic Oceans
1968-69: Led the first hovercraft expedition up the Nile - the longest river in the world
Sir Ranulph and his team will start their expedition as the winter begins.
They will then ascend 10,000ft (3,000m) on to the inland plateau, and head onwards to the south pole.
After that, it is several hundred miles before they drop 11,000ft back on to the ice shelf, and finally some 2,000 miles (3,200km) after they started, they hope to reach the Ross Sea.
"We looked at this 25 years ago and realised it was impossible," says Sir Ranulph.
So why do it now?
Rivalry is a large part of the answer.
"We heard a rumour that Norwegian explorers were contemplating this. We realised we were going to have to have a go."
There are other motivations. As with previous expeditions they will raise money for charity - this time for Seeing is Believing, an initiative to fight avoidable blindness.
During the sea voyage to get to the Antarctic coast, the team will carry out scientific tasks to provide data on marine life, oceanography and meteorology.
While crossing Antarctica, they will also help scientists who are compiling information about changes to the ice shelf and the effect of climate change upon the poles.
Sir Ranulph and his fellow explorers normally pull sledges carrying everything they need with them on such journeys.
This time will be different.
The British government stipulates that any team heading to Antarctica for such a trip needs to be self-sufficient.
So while Sir Ranulph and a skiing partner will lead on foot, they will be followed by two bulldozers dragging industrial sledges.
Inside three containers on the sledges will be their living quarters, supplies, and a science lab. Dragged behind this will be the fuel they need.
'Coldest place on earth'"Start Quote
End Quote Dr Mike Stroud Expedition advisorIt is as extreme as you can possibly get... Your lungs definitely suffer. The air going in is so cold it's going to freeze some of the moisture that's in that system"
Every bit of kit needs to be tested - even invented - if they are to make it alive across one of the most inhospitable terrains.
So, Sir Ranulph and his team spent several days at a vehicle testing ground in northern Sweden earlier this year.
They will expect blizzards, darkness, and whiteouts. "At -70C a wind of even just 10mph will cut you like a knife," says Sir Ranulph.
To help them avoid crevasses up to 200ft deep, the two skiers will pull a ground-penetrating radar system which will relay pictures to the lead vehicle.
Like much of the equipment, though, they do not know if it will work.
"This technology is used extensively in Antarctica, but in the summer," says Steve Holland, who is running the expedition's equipment research team.
This team is "taking a technology and pushing it even further", he adds.
"For smaller items of equipment we can do cold chamber work - and we did this with clothing. But that's to see whether it becomes brittle and is going to break.
"It doesn't tell you if it's going to work at those temperatures."
"It is as extreme as you can possibly get," says Dr Mike Stroud, who has accompanied Sir Ranulph on several expeditions and has been advising him on this one.
"The challenge is whether it is possible to operate and be out there in the coldest place on earth at the coldest time of the year."
"Your lungs definitely suffer. The air going in is so cold it's going to freeze some of the moisture that's in that system."
Frostbite will inevitably be a problem. At -40C during the Swedish training, the fingers of one team member simply froze up after exposure to the cold for too long.
They have been experimenting with boot warmers. Ski bindings will have to be adapted to fit the clumpy footwear.
They are also developing a giant "thermal bag" for the vehicles so the engines do not freeze during rest stops.
On one night in Sweden, the temperature was -35C outside the cover, 35C inside it, simply from the heat of the running engine.
However, if any of this is to succeed it is Sir Ranulph who must make it across on foot.
And at 68 years old, is it really a wise thing to be attempting?
"You just must not think about getting old. If you still are lucky enough to be able to walk around not stooped, no crutch, no Zimmer frame, then you might as well go for it."

Oxidative stress on sperm motility
Thursday, 15 May 2008 - At the 23rd EAU annual congress held in Milan, March 2008, El-Taieb et al. presented a more stable and reliable sensitive carbonyl protein (CP) detection method in seminal plasma from patients with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) syndrome to clarify the effect of oxidative stress on spermatozoa in terms of protein dysfunction.
In total 675 patients were examined between September 2006 and July 2007 because of unfulfilled parenthood. Of them 60 patients with pathological sperm count, presenting without leukospermia and sterile ejaculate culture and samples of 10 controls with normal sperm count were enrolled into this pilot study. All subjects underwent andrological examination. Semen samples were analysed according to the WHO (1999, World Health Organization) guidelines. Seminal plasma was stored at -70°C until analyzed. Carbonyl protein content was measured after incubation with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with the sensitive chemo- luminescence ELISA technique.
The normal value for CP in semen was 501,4 pmol/mg (+233,0 pmol/mg) in the 10 controls. The mean of CP in the 60 OAT syndrome patients was 1747,35 pmol/mg (± 396,92 pmol/mg). A statistically significant negative correlation (p = 0.01) could be found between rapid, as well as with A+B class sperm and CP level in seminal plasma. Furthermore, statistically significant increase in midpiece abnormalities (p = 0.006) could be detected in patients with CP levels over a cut-off level of 1000 pmol/mg. A significant correlation (p = 0.011) could be found between midpiece deformities and CP.
The authors concluded that CP is a highly sensitive marker with the advantage of being more stable than ROS. The motility of sperm is essentially regulated in the midpiece of sperm. ROS respectively CP are originated in mitochondria, which are located in the midpiece of sperm. A significant negative correlation could be detected between rapid and A+B class sperm on one hand and CP level on the other hand. Furthermore, with increasing CP levels a statistical significant increase in midpiece deformities could be detected. Therefore, the analysis of CP reveals an important effect of oxidative stress on motility and midpeace deformities according to its level in seminal plasma. This finding may lead to a better differentiation of the underlying cause and a better stratification of OAT-Syndrome patients for targeted therapy with antioxidative agents.

CloudPassage recently launched out of "stealth mode", releasing a formidable one-two punch for securing elastic cloud environments in the form of Halo SVM and Halo Firewall. Punch one, Halo SVM, addresses the specific server vulnerability management needs in cloud server environments, such as elasticity. Customers can maintain continuous exposure and compliance intelligence, even in rapidly growing cloud server farms. Other features include a light footprint and ability to assess thousands of server configuration points in seconds. Punch two, Halo Firewall, controls server attack surfaces by centralizing and automating host-based firewall management, the preferred alternative to traditional enterprise perimeter firewalls, says CloudPasage.
Applying the Linux community's classic flair for maximizing interoperability, Open-Xchange introduced full MAPI support to its completely redeveloped Microsoft Outlook Connector.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Not to brag, but we've got a pretty cool new research tool to show off: OneSearch.
You've been using Google for years. In fact, you use it every day. And you always get tons of results, so you must be an expert searcher, right? Not so fast… Getting more results is not always helpful! Do you really have time to go through 264 pages to find what you want? What you need are better results, which come from better searches. So here are some tips that work in more »
Even the most experienced scholars can find it difficult to keep up with new research in their fields. So much is being published in journals and online every day that it can be overwhelming. So I've put together a list of websites to help you wade through the rising tide of research. These resources are available free to anyone via the Internet and offer useful tools for discovering new research in a wide variety of subject areas.
This past week, you might have noticed the many news stories about killer cats. The research study about domestic cats' impact on nature concluded that cats kill up to 3.7 billion birds and 20.7 billion mammals every year. Did you happen to pick up that the senior author on the paper was Peter Marra of the Migratory Bird Center, a research unit of the National Zoo, and one of his cowriters was Scott Loss, also of the MBC? While we are always excited by and proud of the research output of the Smithsonian, this is an example of a scholarly article having an impact in the public sphere—i.e. beyond just the scientific community. Does that matter? How does it matter? Is there a way for the organization sponsoring that research to measure impact of research output like this? These are the kinds of questions we can finally begin to tackle with the use of altmetrics.
Have you ever been working on a research project with a group of people and wished for a better way to share your work online, or "in the cloud"? Well, a number of tools exist for just this purpose – including the two reference managers I told you about in my last couple of Library Hacks posts. In my final post on these tools, I'll discuss how both Zotero and Mendeley offer ways to help you collaborate and communicate with colleagues to make sharing research easier. So far, these tools may have seemed pretty similar, but this is where you will see some distinct differences between the two.
The end of an era has come to the Smithsonian Libraries and a new one begins! The current model of a library, with a physical location, books and journals on the shelves and a librarian to manage it all is so 2011. A hip, new model of a ' librarian-as-reference-resource-person-embedded-in-research-department' has come for the National Zoological Park/Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2012!
Old typewriters are pretty cool, but did you ever try adding footnotes to a paper using one? Not so easily done. Thank goodness for modern innovations! In my last Library Hacks post, I introduced Zotero and Mendeley, two free "reference managers" that help you collect and store all kinds of materials – from PDF files to book citations to webpages – in your own online library. Now we'll look at how these same tools can help you add footnotes, citations and bibliographies to a paper as you're writing it. And it's a snap!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The California roll (カリフォルニアロール Kariforunia rōru?) is a maki-zushi, a kind of sushi roll, usually made inside-out, containing cucumber, crab meat or imitation crab, and avocado. In some countries it is made with mango or banana instead of avocado. Sometimes crab salad is substituted for the crab stick, and often the outer layer of rice (in an inside-out roll) is sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, tobiko or masago.
As one of the most popular styles of sushi in the US market, the California roll has been influential in sushi's global popularity and in inspiring sushi chefs around the world in creating their non-traditional fusion cuisine.[1]
In the 1960s, Los Angeles, California became the entry point for sushi chefs from Japan seeking to make their fortune in the United States. The Tokyo Kaikan restaurant then featured one of the first sushi bars in Los Angeles. Ichiro Mashita, a sushi chef at the Kaikan, began substituting avocado for toro (fatty tuna), and after further experimentation, the California roll was born.[2] (The date is often given as the early 1970s in other sources.)[3][4][5] Mashita realized the oily texture of avocado was a perfect substitute for toro.[3] Traditionally sushi rolls are wrapped with nori on the outside. But Mashita also eventually made the roll "inside-out", i.e. uramaki, because Americans did not like seeing and chewing the nori on the outside of the roll.[3]
After becoming a favorite in Southern California it eventually became popular all across the United States by the 1980s. The roll contributed to sushi's growing popularity in the United States by easing diners into more exotic sushi options.[6] Sushi chefs have since devised many kinds of rolls, beyond simple variations of the California roll. Many sushi restaurants in North America now feature a menu of such rolls.

Ross's crossover appeal was obvious. And soon, everyone from hipsters to straight gangtas were downloading the Maybach Music capo's mixtapes. So began the year of the Don.
Man of the Year. Clad in a black tuxedo, dark sunglasses, and a pinkie ring the size of a Mini Cooper, Ross appeared on the cover of The Source's December 2010 issue. He was the mag's "Man of the Year."
Ross was humbled. "It's unexplainable," he said. "For me to commit my life and chase this dream for over a decade without making a penny, it's no way to explain when you finally seeing the fruits of your labor."
1700 Washington Ave.
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Category: Music Venues
Region: South Beach
The following year, he turned the spotlight on his crew.
Maybach Music World Takeover. In May 2011, Ross and MMG released its first compilation, Self Made Vol. 1, featuring the Bawse on 11 of 15 tracks, though never as the lead MC. He was just showing support for and backing up some of the dopest rappers in the game, such as Wale, Meek Mill, French Montana, and Stalley.
GQ took interest and profiled Rozay in that year's October issue. Again, Ross was exposed to a broader audience, building his reputation as a hip-hop heavyweight — theoretically and literally.
"I'm enjoying life," he said in the piece. "Being a boss. Like all true bosses, one day you gotta give it up... I just have my homies or whatever bringing me the best food. I smoke the best weed. I get the best massages. I keep myself in shit like this."
Present Day. Ross couldn't speak with New Times for this piece. He was far too busy doing baller shit like "selling dope straight off the iPhone" and collaborating with Dr. Dre and Jay-Z on "classic hip-hop shit" like "3 Kings."
No doubt big homie is the Bawse. And believe, the takeover ain't even complete.

The futurist: The quantified self
You getting to know you better
Thomas FreyWho are you as an individual?
As part of a family, you are measured by your domestic life and the relatives closest to you. As a prospective employee, you are evaluated by your skills, talents and knowledge. As part of a community, you are gauged by the kind of relationships you build and maintain. As an athlete you are assessed by your physical strengths, your reaction times and your determination.
Whatever kind of lens or filter we place over our lives we use different systems for measuring those key differentiators. And while we all think we are the world's foremost expert on ourselves, we actually know very little.
That's about to change.
The Internet of Things is already comprised of over 10 billion moving parts, and by 2020, that number will grow to over 50 billion.
These "things" have a way of gathering information about ourselves in ways we never imagined were possible. Not only will we be able to monitor the quantity and quality of food we eat, the air we breath, and our daily activities, but we will also be tracking the information we consume, our moods, our level of engagement and what activities we find most stimulating.
In addition to charting the normal inputs and outputs for our mind and body, we will also be evaluating the context in which we exist. Whether it's an emotional context, environmental context, or spiritual context, each plays an important role in determining who we are. In the future, it all becomes measurable.
The "quantified self" is all about building a vast and measurable information sphere around us. As we get better acquainted with the Delphic maxim "Know thyself," we will become far more aware of our deficiencies and the pieces of learning needed to shore up our shortfalls. And that's why this will have such a tremendous impact on colleges.
Compensating for these deficiencies won't be about getting bachelor or master degrees. Rather, they will be about gaining experiences, reading books, meeting people or working as an apprentice. At most, it will be about taking a couple of courses at a university, but not an entire degree package. Here's why.
Quantifying Human Attributes
If you were doing a job search for someone who is extremely creative, detail-oriented or has a great passion for life, what kind of credentials will you be look for?
If you need someone who is extremely persistent, enjoys working in isolation or an ability to discern tiny little details, what kind of diplomas will you want them to have?
Human attributes fall into many different categories and when connected together, form a nearly infinite number of combinations. Yet, it is these same highly nuanced human characteristics, that are often leveraged to our advantage, that also become a huge liability in a system that can't quantify them.
Not only can we not measure, rate, or score human attributes, we currently have no well-accepted system for improving on them or credentialing them.
The big picture of who we are gets lost in a blur of anecdotes.
But emerging from the shadows of yesteryear's murkiness comes a host of new quantifiable-self technologies that promise an end to our primary-colors-only view of our uniqueness.
"The big picture of who we are gets lost in a blur of anecdotes."
The Super-Quantified Human Checkup
Imagine stepping through a series of assessments that rates you in say, 947 different categories of physical attributes and human characteristics.
Once you have your personal information sphere in place, now visualize a similar but larger sphere that depicts your goals and desires for the future and plots out a tactical plan for getting there.
As an example, if you felt you wanted more control over your life, it might recommend a series of management books, videos, or classes to help you gain those skills.
If you have a secret desire to become more famous, it might recommend a number of achievable benchmarks that would position you in the limelight.
If your interests center around becoming more physically trim and active, it may advise you on possible workout regiments, diets, and workshops.
Every person's quantifiable information sphere would be superimposed on their desired goal-sphere, and system algorithms would constantly be prompting you on ways to get closer to your goal.
In this real-time quantifiable-self machine, every time your interests, desires, or ambitions change, so will your goal-sphere. In fact, it will recalculate many time a second to reflect the dynamic nature of matching personality shifts with new gap-filling options.
The College-Killer
As the quantifiable-self catches on, the tools for human assessment will expand exponentially.
As employers lose confidence in traditional transcripts and college degrees as a predictor of success, they will turn towards more sophisticated attribute-matching systems for sorting through the ultra-granular quantifiable-self and finding the closest fit.
People who don't make the shortlist for a job opening will be given an auto-generated overview of their perceived deficiencies and ways to improve upon them.
The reason this will have such a profound affect on colleges is because our credentialing systems today for granting credits and degrees will have virtually no standing in the hyper-granular metrics used to measure job candidates in the future.
Looking at this through a bigger picture lens, as we move into the quantifiable self era, we will have far more tools for taking charge of our own destiny. Rather than spending much of our future income on a path of discovery by taking marginally relevant courses at a university, we will have a wide array of super-tools for both finding and engaging in personally relevant experiences, all in an effort to optimize "you" to become the "ultimate you."
Final Thoughts
We are all radiating information.
Every thought we have, every action we take, and every experience we endure is casting waves, images, and twiglets of information in every possible direction, and it all quickly loses value.
The quantifiable self promises to change all that by adding gauges, dials, and tracking systems to our personal information spheres. This alone has the ability to spawn hundreds, if not thousands, of new industries
The quantifiable self will lead to the optimized self, and eventually my future self will have the value of three of my current selves.
It becomes the first major step towards transhumanism, the next generation of humanity with greatly enhanced intellectual, physical, and psychological capabilities.
To many, this will be a scary prospect. But to most of us, it's the promise of a lifetime.

December 3, 1792 - George Washington, a Federalist, is reelected president of the United States with no opposition, with John Adams elected Vice President. The Federalists, who believed in a strong central government, outnumbered the other political party at the time, the Democrat-Republicans, who decided against a political fight due to Washington's popularity.
