ST. LOUIS (KMOV)-- The trial was expected to begin Monday, but instead a personal injury lawsuit filed against City Museum was settled Monday morning.
During the last six years, visitors have filed 26 personal injury cases against the City Museum. Those alleged injuries include head trauma, broken bones and severed fingers.
Timothy Walker said he hurt his ankle and knee when he caught his foot in an opening on one of the museum's long slides. Walker is suing the museum.
The root of the problem is the failure to inspect these attractions on a daily basis. The attractions include huge metal slides and, as founder Bob Cassilly showed News 4, places to climb above hard surfaces.
"During the last six years city museum has been sued 26 times in personal injury cases. Yes. What does that say about safety at the city museum? That's out of four million people. That means you'd have to go to city museum every day for 150 years for a 100 percent chance of getting hurt," he said.
News 4 didn't check his math, but Cassily insists the museum is safe, even though he quickly admitted fault in one case: a small child fell through an opening in an upper level floor, landing 14 feet below, suffering a fractured skull.
Cassily invited News 4 inside the museum, then took us upstairs where we asked him more questions about the amount of money City Museum has paid in damages to visitors injured there. Cassilly turned his frustration on News 4, grabbing our camera. Cassilly quickly escorted us out of the building. It was the abrupt and angry ending of what we thought was going to be a routine interview, especially after his playful invitation to come inside.

New U.S. single-family home sales unexpectedly fell in July to set their slowest pace on record while prices were the lowest in more than 6-1/2 years, government data showed on Wednesday.
The Commerce Department said sales dropped 12.4 percent to a 276,000 unit annual rate, the lowest since the series started in 1963, from a downwardly revised 315,000 units in June.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales unchanged at a 330,000 unit pace last month.
"What we are seeing is the downside of government intervention. It had fanned expectations of a market bottom when in fact, it created a false bottom," said Tom Porcelli, a senior economist at RBC Capital Markets in New York. "We expect home sales to stay at this remarkably low range with remarkably high unemployment. There is also little demand for lending."
U.S. stocks briefly stumbled on the report, but recovered losses as investors seemed to shrug off yet another spate of negative housing data. U.S. Treasury debt prices added to gains, while the U.S. dollar [JPY=X 84.6 0.02 (+0.02%) ] erased gains against the yen.
The housing market has wobbled following the end of a popular home tax credit in April, which had boosted sales and construction. The sector was at the center of the longest and deepest recession since Great Depression and its continued weakness is holding back the broader economic recovery.
Data on Tuesday showed sales of previously owned homes dropped in July to their slowest pace in 15 years. While the end of the tax credit is distorting the housing data, a 9.5 percent unemployment rate is also worsening the situation.
The weak sales pace last month resulted in the supply of new homes available for sale spiking to 9.1 months' worth from 8.0 months' worth in June.
The number of new homes on the market was unchanged at 210,000 units. The median sale price for a new home fell last month from June to $204,000, the lowest since December 2003.
Separately, demand for home loans was moderate last week despite very low mortgage rates.
Mortgage purchase and refinancing applications rose by less than 1.0 percent in the first week of August, even as 30-year loan rates fell to 4.57 percent—the lowest in 20 years—the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

Log in to http://hope101.net/ and hear my interview with Lori as we discuss Rediscovering Your Happily Ever After; Moving from Hopeless to Hopeful for the Newly Divorced Mom.
What is an optimist? An accordion player with a beeper.
June is national accordion month. No kidding. Affectionately called the squeezebox, the accordion is the official instrument of San Francisco and a good natured subject of jokes.
The largest manufacturer and exporter of accordions is China. Famous accordion players include Charles Dickens, Mahatma Ghandi, Billy Joel, John Lennon, Lucy Liu, Richard Nixon, and Lemony Snicket. Currently, the Ragin' Cajun, Jo-el Sonnier has put the accordion back on center stage along with Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic, satirist, and accordionist who had listeners holding their sides with Another One Rides the Bus, his parody of Queen's Another One Bites the Dust. Weird Al sold 12 million albums since receiving his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday.
"I'm a lapsed player myself," admitted Gloria Gaither, who took lessons as a youngster. "I threw up in the bellows of my teacher's accordion. That's how much I loved it."
"The hazard of being an accordion player," cautioned Buddy Greene, "is if you leave your car door unlocked, when you return to your vehicle people have put additional accordions in your car."
Get accordion players in a joke exchange and you'll hear these classics:
• What's perfect pitch? Tossing an accordion into a dumpster without hitting the sides.
• What's an accordion at the bottom of a river? A good start.
• What's the difference between an accordion and an onion? Nobody cried when you cut up an accordion.
• If you took all the accordions in the world and laid them end to end, you should just leave them there.
A musical instrument of the handheld bellows-driven free reed aerophone family, the basic form was invented in Berlin in 1822. The first patent for an accordion was issued in 1829 in Vienna.
"I love to talk about accordions," said Jeff Taylor. "They have been very good to me. Because of them, I've gotten to play with Buddy Greene, Vince Gill, George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, the Chieftains, Martina McBride, Amy Grant, Grammy nominees The Time Jumpers, and Michael Card." Witty sidekick when sharing the stage with Buddy Greene and featured with his accordion on two Gaither hymn videos, Taylor continued, "It was my first instrument at age five, and in my youth, I never liked it. I actually quit it at 18, thinking I would attract more girls with a guitar. At 33, I took it up again, and for the first time really connected with the instrument. It's not just a polka machine. It's a wind instrument, not unlike a sax or clarinet, and capable of great musical expression. So, onward I go, converting folks over to the previously much maligned musical malady called the accordion."

With the divorce rate staggeringly high, providing security for children can be challenging. It can also be done. The balance comes in providing opportunities for children to have a healthy relationship with their father in an environment where they are respected and permitted to respectfully voice their feelings and opinions.
In high school, my best friend was Marti. Her parents, like mine, had divorced when it wasn't particularly fashionable. Her father, Will, remains the best example of fathering while not in the home that I've ever seen.
Though Will lived an hour away, he treated Marti's mother with kindness and respect. He offered to help and fill in with the children wherever she needed support. He didn't push, demand, or bully. It was never about his rights and was always about nurturing, providing for, and loving his children.
Marti's mom moved to an apartment near our school and she returned to work. After school each day, Marti's dad called, asked about school, and coached Marti on her homework. When she wanted to buy a car, Will arranged and paid for a safety inspection, new tires, and regular maintenance. Every other weekend he invited Marti and her boyfriend, now husband, to his home where they enjoyed time together. When Marti married, her dad was a second pair of experienced eyes as they considered which home to purchase. Looking to their future, he began and oversaw their investment portfolio and paid for the couple and their children to come on yearly vacations.
He gently parented Marti without being spiteful to her mother. Never demanding, he proved himself trustworthy as a father and created a lifelong relationship with his daughter, her husband, and his grandchildren. Will behaved like a mature, caring adult. He took responsibility to develop and maintain a benevolent parent relationship with his daughter. He gave love, guidance, finances, and time without attaching strings of obligation. Marti knew she could count on him.
Will purposefully sustained a healthy relationship with his daughter. The ripple effect was that I observed a caring father and reaped the benefits in my peaceful and secure friendship with Marti.

This week, refuse to blame anyone, including yourself. Each time you are tempted to criticize, condemn, or complain, instead give thanks to God.
One friend gave up the three C's from her vocabulary by paying a dollar each time she criticized, condemned, or complained. She put the money toward a charity. It was a win for her and the group she supported.
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words;

Old Dan, Duffer Dog, Dan Dog on Dan Dog Adventures – for a dozen years our faithful answer-to-prayer dog loved each of us unconditionally and full out. Our home and hearts are emptier without him and we miss our Dan. Do you have a pet who is really a family member?
I was midway through my eighth pregnancy when 9-year-old Josiah's prayer life changed
Every night the family gathered to pray before bed. On this particular night, Josiah began his request. "Lord, could I please have a black lab puppy?"
The last item on my prayer list was a black Labrador puppy. Over the next four months, I inched toward my due date and my only son faithfully prayed every night for a puppy.
In March, ten-and-a-half pound Lilyanna Faith was welcomed into the family. Over the next weeks I felt like life was galloping way out in front of me. On Saturday the older children went out to run errands while the baby and I took a nap.
Twenty minutes after the happy band hit the road, the phone rang. It was Josiah. "Mama, can I keep this black lab puppy I'm holding? I promise to eat all my vegetables, clean my room, and do my chores."
Driving past a farm, the children spotted a sign that read "Free Lab Puppies." It was the answer to Josiah's prayer.
"I don't need another project, Josiah. If you bring home this pup, you must train and care for it."
"I will," Josiah promised.
"And clean up the flops?"
"I'll clean up after the dog," Josiah assured.
"Okay son. I can't wait to see him."
Josiah named the pup Old Dan after the puppy in the book, Where the Red Fern Grows. Under Josiah's training, Old Dan became the 4-H grand champion in obedience. I grew fond of the free answer to prayer. Old Dan played with the children, minded his manners, barked when someone came to the house, and talked. It's nice to have a male around the house that talks. Dan had a sing-song way of whining.
Recently, Josiah came home on leave from the military. I saw the man in uniform but Old Dan recognized his boy.
I received a Bible catalog in the mail. Can you remember when we had two Bibles – KJV and one other version for the not-as-spiritual? This catalog is 68 pages of Bibles in every color for all kinds of people – women, women of color, horse lovers, addicts, ultraslim (me or the Bible?), and charismatic – again, me or the Bible? What does a charismatic Bible do? Reminds me of the Broadway Christian Church I once attended. Though the church was named for the street it was on – Broadway – each week I was distracted by the name that brought to mind images of lights and dancing in a Joseph and the Technicolor Coat fashion.
Recorded Bibles are on MP3 or CD. You can order dramatic as opposed to someone droning on and on and on. That would be a big seller.
Other options include a journaling Bible (who journals? me or the Bible?), many study versions, parallel versions, and scripture in the language of your choice. There is an Abundant Life Bible – who doesn't want that one? I didn't see a scarcity Bible though I know people who live in scarcity as if it is a religion.
According to the catalog, the HCSB Bible keeps me and God on the same page. Don't know how they do that, but I will pay big money for someone to get me on the same page with God. King James comes in a Handy-size which sounds handy, but the LARGE PRINT is more my current style. Who wants just a standard size? There is the ESV Reformation Second Edition – second reformation or the book? What happened to the first? Will the third edition be out soon?
In the catalog are church hymnals with 600 hymns and 56 carols. Did you know there are 56 Christmas carols? I remember when hymnals were by threes in every church pew and every pianist had a couple floating around the house. Now we sing contemporary choruses with an occasional hymn from an overhead and you buy hymnals for keepsakes. Who knew?! There is even four pages in the catalog dedicated to pew Bibles. I wonder if there is much call for those anymore.
My kingdom for a hymnal but Bibles are now in polka dots and sized to fit any size believer. For the traditional King James Version only crowd, the 400th anniversary edition is available.
While some countries have a scarcity of Bibles, my hat is off to those who's business it is to create a Bible that appeals to the many interests of Americans that golf, follow Maxwell, Stanley, or MacArthur, enjoy adventure, discovery, have children, or give gifts. If I don't have a Bible I am regularly into, it is not for lack of available styles and types. With this variety to choose from, if I am not reading the Word, it's time to get real and admit it is because I don't want to.
Rediscovering Your Happily Ever After
By Deborah Dee Harper
January 11, 2011
When PeggySue Wells's husband left their marriage (and their seven children) behind, she was understandably lost—set adrift as a single parent in a world that sometimes fears and ostracizes divorced women. Wells's latest book, Rediscovering Your Happily Ever After, candidly describes the pain of losing her dreams of happily ever after while at the same time providing a Christ-centered, and loving home for her children, despite drastic changes in her lifestyle.
Wells, who has authored or coauthored a dozen books and numerous articles, pulls no punches as she explores the pitfalls and fears of life after marriage. She asks the hard questions and encourages readers to take a hard look at themselves. On page 36, Wells asks the reader to write down 50 things they love about themselves before reading any further. I learned more about myself in the next hour (yes, it took an hour) than I have in the past 10 years. But at the end of that time, I had a list of attributes I could smile about.
Wells writes eloquently of learning to live abundantly despite the hardships of singleness, of finally realizing our true worth in the eyes of our Heavenly Father, and of eventually rediscovering our happily ever after.
Where was this insightful, thought-provoking book 35 years ago when I was newly divorced and mother to three children under the age of five? Just as this extraordinary book would have had a profound effect on my life long ago, so will it also provide guidance, Scriptural references, gentle humor, sound biblical counsel, and much-needed hope for women in today's world who are going through a divorce and struggling with single parenthood.
Anyone who's experiencing a painful chapter in their marriage (or anyone who knows someone who has) will benefit from this candid, heartfelt book.

Avril Lavigne Plays Hard To Get In New Music Video for "What The Hell" [VIDEO]
After debuting her new song on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest," Avril Lavigne has now unveiled the video for "What The Hell."
In the video, Lavigne has a persistent love interest hot on her tail, always managing to stay one step ahead of him from the streets of L.A. to a basketball court, to a vintage clothing shop. The video – which was shot in 3D – culminates with Lavigne performing in a small club and yes, eventually ending up back in the bad with the heart throb.
"What The Hell" is the first single off of Lavigne's forthcoming album Goodbye Lullaby.

Giving A Gift Of Thrift
In Hubby's family, we have a White Elephant gift exchange with the 6 adults. My niece and nephews have a thing for tshirts that have the names of different schools on them. So my gift was a box of 12 vintage school shirts from the various Sioux City schools that I found at a thrift store for 50 cents each. It was a huge hit.
The gifts I exchange with my Brother and SIL Number One are thrifted as well...they love to look through antique stores and flea markets almost as much as I do! Last year we found an addition to her collections as well as a old gumball machine that we filled with Jelly Belly's (his favorite treat) for him.
I have family and friends who tell me when they see a picture of something that I have shown on the website that they absolutely love. And I am very likely to set that something aside to gift them with later.
But it took me awhile to get to this point.
So I understand that giving thrifted gifts might not be easy for some. I think that we need to ease into that with some gift ideas for you!
There are so many things that can be found in thrift stores that you simply cannot find in retail establishments. You need to spend some more time at this...shopping year round to find a perfect gift as opposed to getting up at 3am on Black Friday and getting your entire list zapped off at once for things that are very likely going to be returned the day after Christmas.
Some ideas to get you started:
--Vintage Books to add to a readers collection
--Fabulous stemware to give to someone who loves wines
--Adding to anyone's collection of simply anything...owls, for instance...
--Wonderful jewelery
--Framed Art
--Quilts, Linens
And as Stan The Elegant Thrifter has said before, a whole lot of the gift is in the presentation of it. You simply must read his book and go to his website to get a shot of inspiration.
To know that somebody found something special and thought of you! Isn't that so much nicer than a bottle of cologne?
Would anyone else like to add anything to the list of ideas?

I don't have anything to add, just that I think it's great! I'd rather have something vintage than some sweater or whatever else that somebody got cheap on Black Friday!

I completely agree with you. I love thrifting and I'm blessed to have a sister who's family loves thrift gifts. I've snuck a few into my Mom and Dad's gifts, and my daughters all get some thrifty items in their Xmas packages. Why spend full price when you can get even better for cheap! Rock on, Dime Store Thrifter!

I wish more of my family members and friends liked thrifted gifts. I do have one friend who appreciates the uniqueness of secondhand gifts--I recently found her an adorable candleholder for her home and she was thrilled.
More ideas? Hrm...beautiful dishes for someone who likes to entertain (these are abundant in thrift stores!), board games for couples who love to have game nights, painted/fixed up furniture (like a neat chair) for the home decor lover, barware for the cocktail lover, art for the vintage collector, etc. So many fun choices at the thrift shops! - November 25, 2009

Something I find often are beautiful unused linen tea towels from farawy places. My sister loves all things Scottish and I usually manage to find her two or three during the year. Old tins are another thing I love and my sis has been the recipient of a few old Tartan tins as well.
I look for pure wool clothing to remake into hooked rugs, 90% of our clothes are thrifted , and much of the fun lies in the joy of finding the unexpected.
I started thrifting in the early 70's (old aren't I?) when I searched for natural fibers in the age of polyester...I was hooked and today as I live in a beautiful old home surrounded by lovely and unique things, none of which ever was near a shopping mall! - November 25, 2009

As I thrift, I am constantly thinking ahead for birthdays, holidays and items my daughters will need as they grow. The result? I don't partake in ANY of the retail madness that is marketed as "fun" but is anything but. My shopping is done and I've wonderful presents to give and can't wait to give them.
For those who are squeamish about reused gifts I attest that Americans are so wasteful they routinely toss NEW ITEMS into the reuse market; even in this economic climate.
Instead of spending hours driving through packed parking lots trying to find a place to park the car and standing in long register lines, my family plays marathon games of dominoes, board games, jigsaw puzzles and pound hot chocolate and cupcakes. Gotta love those cupcakes! - November 25, 2009
- Linda said...
I so agree with you Sonya! I have been telling my family for years how much I appreciate the thought that goes into the gift rather then the amount~ hate to make a list of "what I want for Christmas" so you can buy something right off that list...where is the love in that? Sorry for the rant but one of my pet peeves. I listen year round for ideas from my friends and family, what they say and look at and love. Then I shop and it's a gift of love. Not everything is thrifted but a lot of it is and believe me they are better gifts then I could otherwise buy. So rock on sister thrifter!

Ah...thank you for the mention. You will definitely be in book number due...I mean two...I'm still in Rome where the dollar is in the pits and all I dared to buy myself was a pair of gloves at Upim, the Italian version of Kmart. However, they are beautiful, made in Italy, and $20. It's the first new purchase I've made for myself in months.
Might I add...vintage cookie jars filled with delicious treats, lovely old platters heaped with baked goods, a mix-and-match set of napkins wrapped in a ribbon. Take old silk scarves or nekties and use them for ribbons....I could go on! Have a wonderful
Thanksgiving to all. Stan - November 25, 2009

I think it's so nice to give somebody a vintage gift with real meaning, I have a close friend who named her daughter Clara after the little girl in the Nutcracker, so for her first birthday I searched and searched for a gift related to the ballet and found a beautiful boxed double record set of the ballet complete with the story in the most beautifully illustrated box, she was so thrilled with it!!

i always return to sacramento for the holidays, a town that has proven time and time again that it doesn't know how to price its antique and vintage (plus, the weather is so dry that everything is in fantastic condition). i scour the antique malls for gifts, and find really awesome, unique pieces, like a book of smoker's poetry for my brother, or kitchen tins for my friend. everything reasonable and recycled, thrifty and sustainable. i love it! - November 27, 2009

I love these pots! My favorite is the Slush! as well as Pucker. I have to correct an earler review. These actually have PETROLATUM, an emollient base petroleum derivative, which is important b/c they are completely two different things. Petroleum does not moisturize the lip, but actually dries it out after constant use. Also in these tendertones are SPF 12, Fruit Extract, Murumuru butter, Coffee Seed Extract, Olea Europaea (Olives) which conditions the lip and improves appearance of lips over time. This is so much more than a tinted vaseline! These are set as limited, but if everyone wrote to MAC, they would make them permanent and possibly repackage.
6 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have the Tendertones in Shush! They all go on very sheer and shiny and feel slick, but not too thin. Tastes sweet like watermelon, but not yucky overpowering. Love the fact that they're SPF 12, not so crazy about the pot. Would have preferred a tube like the gelees, or even like the lipglasses come in. Now I'm worried about it melting all over my purse.
I was excited about these for months before they came out and they're a lot of fun. I'm not particularly fond of pot glosses but these are so purdy in the pots. On the lips, they deliver a very sheer hint of color, overall. They're very thick and moisturizing as they are made with a petrolatum base (not petroleum, I stand corrected) so they won't dry out the lips. They have a scent that reminds me of watermelon, at least initally, and then it wears off to leave behind the typical plasticky vanilla taste that the TLCs have, only not nearly as strong.
I have this in Pucker, the deepest color in the lot, described as Sheer Raspberry. On me, it's a cool-toned berry with subtle shimmer and alone it's extremely subtle on my pigmented lips. Over lipliner (MAC Soar) it's really pretty YLBB berry pink.

During the past several months, we've talked a lot about the ways Democrats are moving America forward. Today, we're launching a new website called PROGRESS that helps you see first-hand what this means for you and the people in your community.
For curious voters, or volunteers on the ground, this website helps tell the story of the progress made over the last 20 months.
A volunteer in Columbus, Ohio, can let his or her neighbors know that 13,300 small businesses received tax cuts in their congressional district. Parents in St. Louis can tell their college-aged children that they are among the 51,000 young adults in Missouri's 2nd District that can stay on their parents' health care coverage—because Democrats fought for them.
If you're in Wisconsin, you can tell your friends and neighbors that the Recovery Act provided a tax cut to 285,000 families in Wisconsin's 2nd Congressional District alone. You can tell them the story of ZBB energy, an energy company in Menomonee Falls that's using a Recovery Act grant to research new batteries for the renewable energy industry.
If you're going door-to-door in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you can talk to voters about how 14,440 small businesses in their congressional district are now eligible for health care tax credits under the Affordable Care Act, or about the 5,900 teachers' jobs that were saved there by the state-aid bill passed by Democrats and signed into law by President Obama.
The numbers are impressive. But behind each of these numbers are stories of real people whose lives and communities have been made better by the changes Democrats have made—children who now have access to health insurance, students who now have a shot at a college education, workers who now have a job, middle-class families who now have a little extra security.
We know we have a long way to go to dig out of the hole we found ourselves in, but step by step, our country is moving forward.
Take a look at the progress in your community—and then share the information with your friends and neighbors. With 19 days until the election, it's more important than ever that voters see what's at stake, and understand that the choice this November is to build on this progress, or to turn our backs on the families and communities that are still recovering from the policies that led to this recession.
The story of the past 20 months is the story of progress, and it's a story that needs to be told—now more than ever.

Drupal 7.0 Alpha 5 Released
First Drupal 7.0 beta tentatively scheduled for June 21
Drupal, the open source content management system, announced the release of its fifth alpha candidate for version 7.0. Among the rather vague list of improvements in Alpha 5 are "numerous upgrade path fixes," "numerous security path fixes, " and "lots and lots of critical bug fixes."
Elsewhere on the Drupal site, a full list of issues blocking a beta release were identified and detailed. There are 22 unresolved critical issues at the time of this writing that are upholding the beta The community is encouraged to set up the development environment and help solve said issues. Until these issues are resolved, a beta isn't happening.
The tentative timetable for Drupal 7.0 beta is tentatively scheduled for a June 21 release, but if the 22 remaining critical bugs aren't fixed, then Drupal 7.0 will get its sixth alpha.
The Drupal 7.0 alphas are intended for testing only, as the upgrade path does't work without some tinkering and none of the upgrades are transferable from one version to another.

Investors are ready to believe again -- if only for a moment -- in the big-time buyout rumor.
The scene is set, perhaps not as perfectly as it was in the heyday of 2005 but as well is it probably could be today. Stocks are strong. Wall Street is at its all-time high. There have been a number of big deals, including Warren Buffett's $23 billion deal with 3G Capital to buy H.J. Heinz.
And, importantly, it's relatively easy right now for big players to borrow tons of money on the cheap. (Never mind that that's so because the economy is still very weak and the Federal Reserve is worried higher interest rates could hobble or cripple the delicate recovery. People are ready to believe.)
There's big money both in big-time deals and big-time rumors -- especially if you happen to start the rumor, which is sleazy if you know it's not true.
For whatever reason, it's a trend that's found its way to fashion.
Bloomberg recently reported that LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton was "poised to pursue a takeover," with analysts suggesting the luxe giant could go after Burberry Group or Tiffany & Co.
And Coach Inc. was said to consider selling itself, according to reports citing DealReporter. That rumor was enough to push shares of the company up 5.4 percent and to illicit one of the best comments hidden in a noncomment in years: A Coach spokeswoman said, "We do not comment on speculation or rumors, particularly unsubstantiated ones."
Gap Inc. caused some hearts to pause this week when trading in its stock was halted, pending news. Oftentimes that means a new owner, a new ceo or something similarly dramatic. When I heard Gap stock had been halted, I had a sinking feeling: Was that rumor that Fast Retailing was looking at the company real after all?
No, it wasn't, or at least it probably wasn't. A vendor let Gap's February sales results slip early, and trading was stopped until the company could issue an official release.
People like the big rumors, if only because it's an opportunity to pick apart prominent companies and wonder aloud, What would this company look like under the control of this billionaire or that billionaire? What could Bernard Arnault do with this brand?
Most of the chitter-chatter surrounding big brands is idle or hopeful speculation, but it sure is fun.

Ahmad, B.I. and Tarczynski, Andrzej (2008) Evaluation of several reconstruction methods of bandlimited signals. In: 2nd International Conference on Signals, Circuits and Systems, 2008. SCS 2008. IEEE, pp. 1-5. ISBN 9781424426270
| PDF 175Kb |
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICSCS.2008.4746868
In this paper we evaluate several methods of reconstructing signals from finite sets of their samples. A class of band-limited signals is considered. Both, noise-free and noisy cases are studied. The evaluation is performed by extensive simulations where different shapes and bandwidths of the reconstructing filters are examined. We demonstrate that if a fixed number of signal samples are used in the reconstruction, then the signal to noise ratio becomes the main factor limiting the quality of the reconstruction.

T cells develop in the thymus through positive and negative selection, which are responsible for shaping the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in selection remains an area of intense interest. Here, we identified and characterized a gene product Gasp (Grb2-associating protein, also called Themis) that is critically required for positive selection. Gasp is a cytosolic protein with no known functional motifs that is expressed only in T cells, especially immature CD4/CD8 double positive (DP) thymocytes. In the absence of Gasp, differentiation of both CD4 and CD8 single positive cells in the thymus was severely inhibited, whereas all other TCR-induced events such as beta-selection, negative selection, peripheral activation, and homeostatic proliferation were unaffected. We found that Gasp constitutively associates with Grb2 via its N-terminal Src homology 3 domain, suggesting that Gasp acts as a thymocyte-specific adaptor for Grb2 or regulates Ras signaling in DP thymocytes. Collectively, we have described a gene called Gasp that is critical for positive selection.
