Mayor Pro-Tem wants city funding for anti-crime program, Holden calls it a 'political move'
POSTED: Monday, April 9, 2012 - 5:30pm
UPDATED: Monday, April 9, 2012 - 5:42pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Mayor Pro Tem Mike Walker wants to crack down on crime in the Capitol City, but he needs the money to do it.
Walker says the city needs to pay for an anti-crime program and a misdemeanor jail; to do that, he wants to take $200,000 out of the Metro Council's Discretionary Fund.
It was money normally used to pay Patton Boggs, a lobbying firm that has represented the city with the federal government for years.
Mayor Kip Holden wants to keep it that way, calling Walker's push to stop crime a "political move."
A spokesperson for the mayor says Holden was already working with law enforcement officials to bring Operation: Cease Fire to life.
That debate goes before the Metro Council this Wednesday.

Wednesday, June 16
PNC Park
Attendance: 15,218
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Carlos Quentin had two hits and drove in a pair of runs to back John Danks' eight solid innings, as the Chicago White Sox rolled to a 7-2 win over downtrodden Pittsburgh in the middle meeting of a three-game interleague set.
Paul Konerko had three hits, while Alex Rios and Juan Pierre each had a pair of hits and scored twice for the visitors, who took advantage of six Pittsburgh errors to win for the sixth time in seven games.
Danks (6-5) yielded a pair of runs on four hits, while walking three and striking out six for Chicago, which has won 22 of its last 30 interleague matchups.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen cites "good pitching" and "clutch hitting" for the team's better play of late.
Zach Duke (3-8) took the loss after yielding five runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked one and fanned two as the Pirates continued to extend their season-high losing streak at 10 games.
Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez went 0-for-2 with a walk and run scored in his major league debut.
Pierre led off the fourth with a single and scored when Alexei Ramirez followed with a triple into the right field corner to give the Sox a 1-0 lead. Rios followed with a base hit to left to deliver Ramirez and then scored two batters later on a base hit by Quentin that made it 3-0.
"I wasn't able to limit the damage the way I needed to," Duke said of the fourth inning.
The Pirates manufactured run in the fifth when Alvarez walked, advanced to third on a Lastings Milledge double and scored on a Bobby Crosby groundout.
The visitors struck back in the next half inning when Rios doubled and came around to score on Konerko's single into center field. Quentin followed with a double off the top of the wall in center to drive in Konerko.
Jose Tabata hit his first big league home run in the eighth to trim the Chicago lead to 5-2.
The White Sox added another run in the ninth when Jayson Nix doubled, moved to third on a Neil Walker fielding error and then scored when Pierre stole second base and catcher Ryan Doumit's throw skipped away from Walker at second base. Pierre then swiped third base and came in to score when Alvarez could not make the grab on the throw from Doumit.

This one has Nick Amuchastegui-Stanford (Sr) #1. I'm not sure why all of these poles have Zach Sanders ranked above McDonough. Everyone knows McDonough will pound on him when they meet. This pole has several other suspect rankings such as at 165 Andrew Sorenson above Ben Jordan, when Jordan just beat him as well as 2 others previously ranked in the top 10 last weekend. DC
You have to sometimes consider a body of work within this wrestling season. It's no different from BCS, McDonough will have his shot at Sanders but he's also lost to Futrell so how do you put him ahead of Sansers who is undefeated with a win over #3? Sanders earned the ranking, McDonough lost it when Futrell beat him.
As far as Ben Jordan is concerned, he has 4 losss, Sorenson officially has 1. They were to Gillespie, Booth, Burak and Evans. #10, 14, #5 and #12. Sorenson has lost to only #8, Ben Jordan and owns some solid wins in the process.

Wherever you look around here opinions about this one differ to the point of having two opposed extreemes ; it's either a unique masterpiece or an ugly shit. There's even a lot of peeps who coudln't stomach the rootscoping animation and ended up dropping it after only 1 episode. Eh. I won't even go into that one.
I don't really fall under any mentioned category. I think it was very good for what it is (self-exploration kind of drama-thingy), and that it looked and felt amazing at times, but it's nothing groundbreaking I'd hype for the rest of my days. It definitely stands out in the crowd, but not for the content itself but its controversial design, which wasn't really my cup of tea. I liked the manga and got used to its generic design, and the new one failed to make an impression on me. But even so, I'm a fan of everything funky, unique and bizarre, so I'm not in position to complain about that one. I'm also all for experimental animation, but seeing how this one went it's clear that it backfires at times. But to say that it's atrocious is a crime because anyone who followed Aku no Hana past episode 7 knows how mesmerizing the art is. I won't lie, some scenes were gorgeus to the point of forever remembering them.
The content itself isn't one of the strongest traits. When all is said and done, no one can deny that it's about teenage sexual deviancy. I would lie if I told you that it's only about that, but since it's incomplete, it's not offering much at this point. Sadly, there's not much about the character either at this point. Kasuga is definitely standing out from everyone else, but that's mostly because others didn't get any noticable development. We're more or less still in the process of meeting them properly. But one thing is certain: their personalities are well founded, and proper flashing makes even the side characters purposeful. And Kasuga is characterized so well that I wouldn't be surprised if someone found himself in his shoes.
Music is nothing but amazing. It's rich in content, its ED is one of the best things I've heard from this season, following music is atmospheric and fits well and everything else about it works like a charm. It really complements the show greatly and maybe even makes it a lot better than it actually is.
All in all: don't be fooled by the low rating or people who are raging at the design. First off, it's not as bad as people describe it, and secondly, the content is where it's at. I didn't like it as much as some did, but there's a chance that you might find something about it that I couldn't. Watch it.

At the heart of it all is our belief in the ability of opera to tell human stories with power and beauty
A brief overview
New Zealand Opera is the face of professional opera in Aotearoa. Our goal: to bring human stories, glorious music and the passion of opera to all. We produce three main stage productions annually which are performed in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. We have three offices, also located in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. In addition the company runs a Technical Centre in Onehunga, Auckland where new productions are created and rehearsals take place. It also houses many costumes and sets from previous productions along with wardrobe and set building workshops.
The company was formed in 2000 with the merger of the National Opera of Wellington (Wellington) and Opera New Zealand (Auckland), forming New Zealand's first fully professional national opera company. It merged again in 2012 with Southern Opera in Christchurch.

Outspoken yet charismatic, politically radical yet traditionalist in his love of family, the man is captured in all his complexity.
It's a nicely assembled, topical film that gives us both a sweeping view of gay rights across almost 30 years, as well as an intimate look at an extraordinary person swept up in those times.
The smooth telling of Russo's story juxtaposed against the present day, when gay marriage is sanctioned in some states and gay characters are all over prime-time television, drives home how different the cultural landscape is from the one Russo knew.
As a documentary, Vito is fairly straightforward, but by finding a thread connecting Russo's life, his passions and his times, it manages to be something more.
Schwartz's workmanlike film nonetheless gives us a detailed portrait of the man as well as the activist.
The first half of Vito plays almost like a 45-minute "It Gets Better" ad. [Then] Vito exchanges its subtle storytelling technique for a sobering session of gay rights homework, resembling a recent raft of documentaries about the early years of the AIDS crisis.

Obama uses gunboat diplomacy with North Korea -- and China
After the North Korean attack on a South Korean island, Obama sends an aircraft carrier to the Yellow Sea -- irritating China, which may be the point. Beijing needs to rein in its wily ally.
President Obama made a clever strategic move after a North Korean rocket attack killed two civilians and two soldiers Tuesday in South Korea. He decided to respond with a naval surge – directed not only at North Korea but also at its closest ally, China.
The president ordered an aircraft carrier strike force into the Yellow Sea, off the western shore of North Korea – the scene of the North's barrage on a South Korean island. But this is also an area that Beijing vigorously claims as its own watery turf.
By sending in the USS George Washington carrier to conduct joint exercises with South Korea, Mr. Obama is risking an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with China. In recent months, top Chinese military officials have warned the United States not to send ships or planes into the Yellow Sea. They have even promised financial retribution.
China "won't stand" for such US naval provocation, wrote Maj. Gen. Luo Yuan of the People's Liberation Army in an August editorial. "Imagine what the consequences will be if China's biggest debtor nation [the US] challenges its creditor nation," he stated.

What defenders of this man seem not to get, is this: Our local economy is still hurting. The environment in several areas is threatened. Jobs are in short supply. Yet, this commissioner, instead of joining his coharts in addressing these issues- is playing games with his enormous ego. I suggest putting his ego in the nearest, lock down, mental health center. »

Tortoise 'Lonesome George' Dies
Last survivor of Galapagos subspecies
Lonesome George, the last remaining Pinta giant tortoise, died in his enclosure in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands on Sunday. Edwin Naula, the head of the Galapagos National Park, said that George's keeper of 40 years found his motionless body. "His life cycle came to an end," Naula said. Scientists in the Galapagos had spent years trying to mate the tortoise to females of a closely related subspecies, but none of the three clutches of eggs produced hatched. A spokesperson for the park said that they would conduct a necropsy to determine what killed the animal, believed to be over 100 years old.

Olympic Trials Tie Confuses Officials
No procedure in place for dead heat
Officials at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon, announced Sunday that runners who tied for third place in the women's 100-meter final can choose to break the tie by either a runoff or a coin toss. Judges initially ruled Jeneba Tarmoh third place in Saturday's race for the final spot on the women's 100-meter team but declared a dead-heat finish with Allyson Felix after reviewing photos. A runoff will be held if one or both athletes chooses that option. If both athletes refuse to make a choice, a coin toss will decide the outcome. "Nine times out of 10, most athletes aren't going to want to flip a coin," Bobby Kersee, who coaches both runners, said. USA Track and Field had no procedure in place for breaking trials ties.

Staff extremely unfriendly when checking in. Room smelled weird. Completely lacking in atmosphere or welcome. We cancelled our 3 night booking and didn't stay any night. Staff didnt even ask why or look at all surprised that we left so quickly. Much better places available in Saigon for similar price.

Derby County have continued preparing for life in the Premier League by appointing Trevor Birch as their new chief executive.
Birch, who held similar roles at Chelsea, Leeds United and Everton, will replace Mike Horton on the Rams board after the former managing director stepped down last week.
"I'm delighted to have been given the opportunity to join Derby at such an exciting time in its history," he told the club's official website.
"I very much look forward to playing my role in moving the club forward and helping the manager and board of directors fulfill their ambition in realising the club's true potential."
Rams chairman Peter Gadsby added: "Trevor earned a great reputation when he was last in the game and we're delighted that someone with his experience and understanding of football in general - and the Premiership in particular - has agreed to join us on the board of directors."

Hi! This is part of one of the books I am writing... please read and give me your opinion! The book is called : The man in the shadows.
Chapter one
The wind whistled into my ears as I approached the house. A hand squeezes mine, I look down, my black hair an unruly mess flowing in front of my face, to see my 3 year old autistic daughter, May, looking up at me nervously.
" It's fine honey..." I tell her, concerned. Last time she was like this was when her father had died just 7 months ago. " Let's go inside" I say, fighting back a suspicion that something is going to happen soon... something bad.
I shake my head as I look up at the house, but as May looks up along with me, she lets out a ear piercing scream. I look down, highly concerned now. I look in the direction she was pointing at but saw nothing... I shake my head.
" that's because it is nothing." , I mumble , " she is probably hallucinating" . I give myself a nervous shake, and drag my daughter into the house. But when I entered I saw something that made me freeze.
On the floor was a pool of blood. I blink, hoping the blood will disappear ... and when I open my eyes I notice it actually did, now replacing the blood was a rug, with a slight tear in the corner that seemed to be glowing. But as I look closer I realize it wasn't. I then look at May to see her big brown eyes, staring back at me, not blinking once. I bend down to give her a hug... but then I realize that she was crying blood. She starts screaming and pointing at the spot where the blood was. I look back at her as she collapses to the ground, staring up at me, her eyes blank and bleeding, her hair as messy as mine, shaking uncontrollably. I begin to panic, until I finally see her blink. I begin to relax, when she starts mumbling something in Greek, her eyes rolling around her head. I scream, shaking as she sits up, blood pouring from her eyes and nose. Then she looks at me.
" What's wrong mom-myy?" she says in a voice unlike her own.. sounding sing-songy. "Can't face what you created?". I become rather confused and couldn't move. Then I feel something cold on my hands. I look down to see blood covering my hands, then it goes dark.
* * * * ~ * * * *
I awake to see May rocking back and forth staring at the wall crying, but this time there is no blood. I sigh in relief and crawl over to my daughter slowly. She looks at me, a nervous wreck, her hair covered in blood making the honey-brown colour more of a mahogany. I reach for her hand. She grabs it looking up at me, then stands up slowly. I can't bear to see her like this, so I pick her up and carry her up the stairs nervously. This had never happened before, and I was concerned that it had something to do with the house. As I am deep in my thoughts I hear a growling sound coming from my hands. I jump, startled, but then I realize it is only my daughter, sound asleep. I smile.
" I'm just being paranoid." I murmur to myself. I look into one of the rooms, trying to find a suitable place for May to sleep. To my shock I see a child's bed in the first room I look in. I walk towards the bed to lay her down, taking in the vibrant colours of this room, the walls a sky blue, reminding me of our old home. I smile, laying May down on the bed. I look at her face and smile, but then I hear a knocking at the door. I scream and rush to go to protect my daughter, then I realize that it was the front door and that I was safe. I go down to answer it.
When I open the door I see my real-estate agent, looking at me. She nervously smiles, handing me a book. Then she looks at the blood on my hands and sighs.
"Poor dear... ," she murmurs softly, but when I look at her confused she sighs again and says, rather calmly, I might add, " I have something to tell you about this house..." .
I look at her, short blonde hair, blue eyes the colour of the sky, an hourglass shape. I note all
these features for my next painting... since I am trying to be an artist. I smile realizing that she was still talking.
"... And he died right over there on that rug-" she stops mid-sentence. I look at the space on the floor where the rug used to be, and all I see is a cross, neatly placed in the centre . This confused me... but then I saw my daughter carrying the rug away. I pause for a second... The cross was exactly in the centre at a perfect angle... my daughter can barely hold a pencil straight, and also that rug... It must be at least ten pounds. I turn back to where the real-estate woman was standing only to see she was gone. What is going on, I wonder as I reach up to my face, why is this- then I stop mid thought. My hand is now wet... I look down nervously expecting blood... But to my luck, It turns out I had just been crying. I sigh a sigh of relief as I look down the hall. But then something hits me.... My daughter was in bed just 5 minutes ago. How did she get down the stairs? Then I hear a loud crash coming from the direction that my daughter had headed in. I rush over to see her sound asleep, hugging the rug, in the middle of the so-called "kitchen". I look at her, once again peacefully sleeping, once again the daughter I loved so much. What am I turning in to? Once again the daughter I loved so much? I had never stopped loving her. Not at any point, in the whole three years of her life. I look over at the wall behind me, wondering where the real-estate woman had went... and wondering what had happened all together in the past few hours. I begin to pace, but give up, as my legs hurt. I go over to my daughter and lie down with her. I try to stay awake, maybe organize the house, But the next thing I know I'm sound asleep.
* * * * ~ * * * *
I awake once more and realize that it is past midnight. I reach over to hug May.
When I look at her I hear her mumbling "mommy, I love you". I smile at her. My little May has grown so much, I think to myself, and soon she will be four. I smile at the thought, and squeeze my daughter into a warm embrace. She starts crying, her hair now being covered in blood and tears. I shake my head.
"Hubble the bubble will not get this clean" I murmur to myself thinking about her favourite shampoo. I brush her hair back with my hands, not caring of the blood and tears. She rolls over, onto her other side, and as she does this I stare at her face. Then her eyes open and she looks at me. I continue to brush her hair, trying to get her into another restful sleep. She sits up and walks away.
"Come here baby", I call to her. She turns around and smiles at me. Then walks right over and lies down beside me. I smile at her as she starts mumbling something. I lean in closer to hear what she is saying.
"Vanessa-Van-Esssssssa" she mumbles it again. I start to shake. That's my name. I look at her nervously. She looks at me and says my name again.
"NO!" , I yell at her, shaking her furiously,
"no,no,no you little brat!" . I start screaming at her, I just can't take this anymore. Then I look down at her, only to see her crying, staring up at me in horror. She is screaming my name
now, shaking back and forth, crying furiously. I reach down to her, hugging her tightly, trying to calm her down. The guilt rushes through me, consuming me. I had hurt my daughter. May, little May, was now crying because of me. As I am thinking I realize that everything had went
I look down at her, praying that she was only sleeping. I reach down for her pulse, and to my relief I find it... from all the panic of the day, I realize that even when my daughter had been crying blood, I hadn't done anything to help her. I didn't call 911, didn't try to stop the blood... I just stood there. What am I. Am I human? But then I think about it. There are no hospitals anywhere near this house and I was to scared to react... So I shouldn't be to blame, right? I pace back and forth thinking about this. But then my legs start to ache worse than before, and I can't handle it. I am about to go to sleep, when I hear a knocking at my door. I head over, expecting the real-estate woman to be there. But when I open the door I see an elderly woman, pale and crying. I let her in concerned, although as I close the door I hear her laughing. I turn to look at her, only to see her staring at May. I back away, reaching for my cellphone, attempting to get help. I reach for it, knocking down a lamp, but none the less I grab my cell phone. I look at her, hoping she didn't notice the lamp. She didn't. I look down at the screen just as the screen saver comes to view. I stare at it, remembering home, then begin to dial 911. But then the woman wheels around and smiles at me.
"Honey, I'm not going to hurt you. But the shadows... they will". She starts laughing and screaming when something crashes on the upper level. She stops.
"He is mad..." she mumbles. I begin to think that she has lost her mind. But then she starts feeling the walls, and I am almost certain of it. She starts to mumble a poem, going something like this:
"Shadows, shadows in the walls,"
"walk through the halls"
"Only to follow the man in the shadows, to obey, to believe"
"every wim, wit... and even if he deceives"
"now at my word please do be kind"
" and take in mind..."
" maritiki consa toino"
" et coula, coula, dan ne nourteaue contrutrasi mekiti, maritiki, maritiki, consetraul.."
She stops abruptly, as the ground begins to shake.
" It is too strong now,"
She then looks at me, shaking, eyes turning red, then she walks out mumbling " It is time to get John." The door closes behind her, leaving me standing there, wondering what in the name of all good, did she just do? The ceiling and floor start screeching, windows opening and closing, the rug floating towards me, as I stare in complete and utter horror. The rug then collapses as light starts to seep through the windows. I start shaking as my daughter stands up, hobbling towards me. As I begin to walk away I notice she just wanted a hug. I rush over to her, as fast as I can and pick her up.
" Do you want a nice long bath", I ask her trying to imitate her favourite T.V character, Ariel.

03.10.06 - Audley Harrison, the former Olympic and Commonwealth champion today admitted that he let factors outside the ring get to him before his fight against Danny Williams. Talking to Hawksbee and Jacobs on talkSPORT, the UKs only national commercial speech radio station, Harrison confessed: When I came to England to fight Danny I was 19 and 0, ranked in all the organisations and two fights away from a world title so I was disappointed from that perspective that I didnt perform. But there were a lot of reasons, a lot of things going on outside the ring where normally I cut them out. Normally Im a man who can just get in that zone. For the Danny Williams fight I couldnt get in to the zone. A lot of people have seen me on TV and said he looked frightened, he looked scared. But it wasnt actually Danny or the fight. If I could have stayed in bed that day I should have. All week I was having dramas and I just couldnt cut it out. It happened to me once before as an amateur, I just couldnt cut it out. The outside distractions got to me. Youre only as good as your last fight and unlike football, where you get to redeem yourself week after week, the British public are only remembering from my last performance and obviously Danny Williams wasnt a good performance. Thats how Im being defined at the moment. When asked by Hawksbee what he thought of his next opponent, Commonwealth heavyweight champion Matt Skelton, Harrison said: Skelton brings a lot of heat to the table. He might not be technically the most gifted athlete. But he is definitely all heart, all spirit and he brings a lot of aggression. It will be a tough. But hes definitely got weaknesses, like I have, and Ill look to exploit them on the night. Hes from the school of hard knocks and Ive fought guys like that before. They are difficult to overcome. But you can overcome them. I could have taken four fights on the under-card in America but Matt Skelton is ranked number 12 in the WBO so this is a quicker route back. It gives me chance to bounce back. Im fighting for my name, fighting to redeem myself so I have a lot on the line. When you have those ingredients you usually get a good fight and with what Matt Skelton brings to table, all guts and heart, it has the ingredients for a great fight for the British public.

"A must read for everyone on the road"
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. As a recovering driver who now uses almost exclusively mass transit I wasn't sure if this would apply to me. In reality, it was a very balanced look at our roads and all the associated issues and problems from all vantage points: rational drivers and those with road rage, mass transit, parking, engineering, car racing, etc. Even though I consider myself fairly well informed about planning issues, I learned a lot and highly recommend the book. The type of information included in this book can also make our road safer and voters/taxpayers better informed.
"Great listen takes you on a memorable journey"
I had never heard about Chef Samuelsson when I picked up this title. I loved his descriptions of the culinary world and how his life experiences and origins influenced his taste in food and his prepation techniques. But this is much more than just about food. He also takes his listeners through the stages of his life and talks about what made him who he is today through an eye-opening journey that covers several continents and a multitude of kitchens, and talks about his origin, his families and friends with love and candor without glossing over some of the big mistakes he made. The reading of the book by the author, with its different delivery and little quirks, adds authenticity to the story.
"1491 - easy to listen to, but full of information"
This book clearly outlines some amazing accomplishments by the New World's early inhabitants. It is full of information, but the information is provided at a pace and with enough narration that it reamins easy and entertaining to listen to, in contrast with one of my other favorite books, Jared Diamond's Collapse, that require full and undivided attention.

NovaBay Calls For New Approaches To Antibiotic Drug Development To Slow The Rise Of Resistance, Save Lives And Protect The Environment
CDC Study Finds Current Approach is Ineffective and Costs Billions
NovaBay Submits Comments to the FDA Regarding Antibacterial Therapies
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Ron Najafi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT:NBY) is calling for a new approach to tackle the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance. A groundbreaking report just released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has found that each year, more than 2 million people in the U.S. become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. More than 23,000 of them die from those infections.
The conventional response to this crisis is to develop new antibiotics, Dr. Najafi explained. But creating new antibiotics is difficult and microbes quickly adapt and become resistant to even the most powerful news drugs. Some strains of disease-causing bacteria now are resistant to every antibiotic available. The cost of resistance is now $20 billion per year in excess direct health care spending, plus as much as $35 billion a year in lost productivity, according to the CDC. That's why Dr. Najafi and NovaBay are suggesting a new approach. "Our novel approach to this crisis is to create next-generation, synthetic molecules that mimic the natural agents that our bodies use to fight infection and do not give rise to resistance," said Dr. Najafi. NovaBay has described this approach in a response to the FDA's industry request for comments regarding anti-bacterial therapies. The development of non-antibiotic antimicrobials would allow classical, topical antibiotics to be replaced with these new treatments. "Reducing a portion of the massive quantity of antibiotics now being used and that find their way into the environment has the potential to significantly slow the development of antibiotic resistance," said Dr. Najafi. NovaBay's approach would help achieve one of the CDC's main recommendations: use fewer antibiotics. The CDC report points out that bacteria naturally evolve to be resistant to drugs, so resistance "can be slowed but not completely stopped." The way to slow the development of that resistance is to use antibiotics less frequently. Yet now, the CDC notes, up to half of antibiotic use in humans and much of antibiotic use in animal feed is unnecessary. The CDC report, Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013, is available here. For more information on NovaBay's call to action regarding the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance and the potential sources for antibiotic resistance, please see Dr. Najafi's blog post. About NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Going Beyond Antibiotics NovaBay Pharmaceuticals is an advanced clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing the large unmet therapeutic needs of the global, topical anti-infective market with its Aganocide ® compounds, led by auriclosene. Auriclosene is a new chemical entity invented by NovaBay which has a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Aganocide compounds are based on the human body's natural immune system and the molecules involved in combating infections. Bacterial resistance to Aganocides is highly unlikely, as demonstrated in in vitro studies. Once pathogens penetrate the body's primary defense, the next line of defense is provided by the white blood cells. NovaBay has focused on understanding these molecules generated by the white blood cells and finding ways, by chemical modification, to allow them to be developed as therapeutic products with the potential to treat a wide range of local, non-systemic infections. As Aganocides begin to supplement and thereby reduce the usage of classic topical antibiotics, they will help slow the rise of antibiotic resistance. Forward-looking Statements This release contains forward-looking statements and opinions, which are based upon management's current expectations, assumptions, estimates, projections and beliefs. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the general use of antibiotics in the United States and NovaBay's possible effect on that use. The words "potential," "expected" and "will be" are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or achievements to be materially different and adverse from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The robotic worm
Does the way a brain is wired determine how we think and behave? Recent research points to a resounding yes.
Editor's note: this is an excerpt from the latest edition of BioCoder; it is republished here with permission. Get your free copy of BioCoder Fall 2014 here.
One of the age-old questions has been whether the way a brain is wired, negating other attributes such as intracellular systems biology, will give rise to how we think and how we behave. We are not at the point yet to answer that question regarding the human brain. However, by using the well-mapped connectome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans, shown above), we were able to answer this question as a resounding yes, at least for simpler animals. Using a simple robot (a Lego Mindstorms EV3) and connecting sensors on the robot to stimulate specific simulated sensory neurons in an artificial connectome, and condensing worm muscle excitation to move a left and right motor on the robot, we observed worm-like behaviors in the robot based purely on environmental factors.

Saul Griffith: build soft, not solid
Soft, or compliant, robots can be safer, lighter, more efficient, and easier to control.
As we get ready to launch the 2015 version of Solid, our conference about the intersection between software and the physical world, I've been revisiting some lessons from Solid 2014.
For instance, Saul Griffith, founder and principal scientist at Other Lab, advises that many machines would do well to skip solidity altogether. Soft, or compliant, robots can be safer, lighter, more efficient, and easier to control. In his work with compliant robots, Griffith has managed to substitute intelligent controls for mass—replacing atoms with bits.
Watch Griffith's entire Solid 2014 talk below. If you'd like to be notified when the Solid 2015 call for proposals goes up and when tickets become available, be sure to sign up for the O'Reilly IoT+ newsletter.

The robotics industry could use an infusion of new DNA
A melting pot of technologists, makers and product minds will lead to a new wave of robotics companies.
Editor's note: this post originally published on Chen's blog Beyond the Bell Curve; this edited version is republished here with permission.
A couple years ago, I dug deep into the robotics space because I thought we were seeing the birth of exciting next-generation robotics companies that would reshape the way our society lives and thinks. Companies like Rethink Robotics, Industrial Perception, and Redwood Robotics emerged to tackle factory and warehouse logistics. Willow Garage was gaining notoriety for being a center of robotics talent and innovation that spawned many of these companies. Meanwhile, Amazon had just acquired Kiva for $775M, driving even more entrepreneurial excitement.
Where are these players now? Rethink had a well-publicized round of layoffs, and Willow Garage ceases to exist. Industrial Perception and Redwood Robotics were part of Google's robotics shopping spree, and while acquisitions can inspire activity like Kiva's did, Google's purchases may have had the opposite effect. In one fell swoop, many of the most entrepreneurial and talented roboticists were shuttered away from the world. I often worry that this has caused the entire field to take a step back, or at least is a major progress inhibitor. No longer will the acquired talent build and support new technology for others to build upon, at least for now. What Google decides to do with the talent they purchased will have big ramifications for how the industry and field move forward. There's potential for a positive outcome here. Perhaps these groups eventually will leave Google with an understanding of best practices in building and operating a business, something Google is quite good at. Read more…

Uhm, so rich!
The crunch of raw sugar crystals between my teeth.
Lightly crumbling apart in my watering mouth.
Butter, yes, yes!
Ooh, cardamom, what a lovely surprise.
Lightly sweet.
Pure bliss.
What better start to the holiday season than that first bite of shortbread fresh from the oven?
It's magic really. A bowl of simple ingredients carefully combined, shaped, chilled, sliced and placed on a metal sheet that's then slid into a hot oven. Five minutes later aromas of vanilla and caramelizing sugar fill my kitchen, and I am transported by the sweet smells to places I have long since forgotten.
The kitchen floor is covered with crumbs - too many even for the dogs to eat. Racks and trays, bowls and books are precariously arranged throughout the awkward kitchen. The various phases of the baking process are chaotically represented in every direction, like a chemistry lab experiment that's gone horribly, deliciously wrong. Every available horizontal surface in the kitchen, dining room, and back porch are covered with cookies. Mom says she has orders for 500 dozen this year.
Johnny Mathis is crooning from the den. Grammy is sitting at the kitchen table wearing her pearls and a beautiful silk blouse (the kind most people "save for good") covered with a snap-front Santa apron. She's carefully pressing cream cheese dough into mini tart pans. I eagerly wait for her to finish with the dough so I can add the sugary pecan filling. She looks like a cherub with her smooth and seemingly ageless ruby cheeks. When we finish filling the pans I race them to the oven and set the timer.
Mom blows in from the grocery store with more supplies. Grammy and I greet her quietly, hoping she'll find everything to her liking. Mom expects perfection, demands it, with cookies, with everything and everyone—except herself. She doesn't always let you know when you have achieved perfection, but you certainly know when you haven't.
"You two have been busy," she says. We take this as a compliment, but say nothing in reply. Grammy exhales an audible sigh of relief. I start making another batch of dough. Mom insists every batch be handmade – electric mixers are only to be used for icing—and she has the forearms to show for it. Grammy's arms are too weak to make dough; she sips her water while she waits for me to finish. The double batch of dough takes a while to come together. My ten-year-old girl arms are a big disappointment to me and likely to mom.
Dad's in the next room hard at work on a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a castle. Westinghouse closed the plant last summer, so he's around a lot these days. Mom says he's supposed to find a job, but he doesn't seem to share her enthusiasm for the task. She hands him a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and a big bowl heavy with peanut butter dough. Dad's sole source of pride this year is rolling the dough into perfect 1" balls to be dipped in chocolate. If he succeeds, he'll get a rare compliment from mom and maybe postpone another argument about his laziness.
He takes the dough to the living room and sets up shop on a TV tray in front of a Hawaii Five O rerun. He returns to the kitchen for an Old Milwaukee and gets to work. Later, he'll get the compliment he's after and ruin it by drinking too much and repeating over and OVER again that he makes the best peanut butter buckeyes.
The dogs start barking madly from the living room drowning out Johnny. Dad is yelling at the dogs to stop – he can't hear what Danno is saying, which shouldn't matter because he's seen every episode a million times before. My big sister is here and the cause of the canine ruckus. She's 20 years older than me and my mom's favorite, which doesn't bother me, because I know I'm my sister's favorite. She hugs me tightly. I don't want to let go. Her cheer spreads through the kitchen lifting everyone's spirits. She and mom play their usual game where my sister pretends she's stealing a cookie, and mom pretends to get mad. It's ironic because no one else is really allowed to eat cookies – not until Christmas Eve after mom has filled and delivered all her orders. Still, I don't mind because I'm so happy to see her.
Mom pulls a tray of pecan tassies from the oven with her bare hands. She sets them on the stove and gently taps one on the top. I continue filling pans until I hear her say, "They're perfect." Why do those words make my heart ache? Grammy reaches across the table and gently squeezes my arm. I feel a sob form in my chest as it tightens. I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry.
What is that noise? I can't hear Johnny….
It's the timer on the oven, my oven. I'm standing in my kitchen alone with my memories. I can still taste the butter on my tongue. And what I thought was cardamom now tastes like pecan pie.

Title: | Advanced meet-in-the-middle preimage attacks : first results on full Tiger, and improved results on MD4 and SHA-2 |
Author: | Guo, Jian; Ling, San; Rechberger, Christian; Wang, Huaxiong |
Copyright year: | 2010 |
Abstract: | We revisit narrow-pipe designs that are in practical use, and their security against preimage attacks. Our results are the best known preimage attacks on Tiger, MD4, and reduced SHA-2, with the result on Tiger being the first cryptanalytic shortcut attack on the full hash function. Our attacks runs in time 2188.8 for finding preimages, and 2188.2 for second-preimages. Both have memory requirement of order 28, which is much less than in any other recent preimage attacks on reduced Tiger. Using pre-computation techniques, the time complexity for finding a new preimage or second-preimage for MD4 can now be as low as 278.4 and 269.4 MD4 computations, respectively. The second-preimage attack works for all messages longer than 2 blocks. To obtain these results, we extend the meet-in-the-middle framework recently developed by Aoki and Sasaki in a series of papers. In addition to various algorithm-specific techniques, we use a number of conceptually new ideas that are applicable to a larger class of constructions. Among them are (1) incorporating multi-target scenarios into the MITM framework, leading to faster preimages from pseudo-preimages, (2) a simple precomputation technique that allows for finding new preimages at the cost of a single pseudo-preimage, and (3) probabilistic initial structures, to reduce the attack time complexity. All the techniques developed await application to other hash functions. To illustrate this, we give as another example improved preimage attacks on SHA-2 members. |
