East Coast Craft Shows: The Ups & Downs of the Business
in Business
Connie Mettler talks with Marcy Boroff, from Renaissance Craftables, one of the east coast's premier craft show promotion companies partnering with downtown areas and non-profits. Marcy Boroff had worked with her mother, Barbara, on shows for years and took over the business in 2010.
As a craft show promoter, Marcy feels very strongly that it is a partnership between the artists, the downtown areas or non-profits she is partnering with, and the community of festival-goers.
How did this company get from mall shows to the streets of some of the best shopping areas in the East?
We talk about:
the role of the show promoter and why they do it
choosing a location to host a show and starting a new show
building and implementing a marketing plan
the good part of being a show promoter
the bad part and the worst part
building relationships with the shopping areas where they host their events
building relationships with artists
the future of craft shows and their economic impact

This time on the APRHF's Let's Talk Trains Show we will take a look at Model Train Shows.
We will ask you, the listeners, what makes a great train show? What makes a bad one? Does having a swap meet at the show, make the show feet cheap? Why are there not more manufacturers's coming to the shows Should model train shows be produced by for-profit companies instead of the local clubs or historical associations? Should there be more regional cooperation between organizations? Should we just have swap meets and then do a show with just model trains? Should we let attendees operate displays?

Moving to PostgreSQL's Object-Relational DBMS
For those planning to run an Access front end atop a converted back end, pgAdmin should do an adequate job of moving the data automatically. Calabrese also used a modified version of exSQL to define how Access and PostgreSQL would handle relationships between tables. The version he has made public at www.geocities.com/musica_6898/ postgresaccess_home.html runs a script that alters field-type conversion for several tasks, such as regulating how Access handles the money type. Bike Friday's Access front end saw PostgreSQL's numeric decimal fields as text fields. In order for Access to view the math properly, Calabrese changed the fields to a Float4—the method by which PostgreSQL describes a four-byte floating number—allowing Access to read them properly.
With more than 100 tables, Bike Friday's interface is fairly complex. Viewed from the user end, Bike Friday uses more than 80 screens for everything from entering an order, viewing a parts table, to scheduling production and tracking inventory. Therefore, Calabrese had to be sure that the system scaled for tens of users. Testing took several weeks, redesigning SQL queries as needed along the way, either by rewriting them on the Access side or, when that proved problematic, rewriting them on the back end until they ran at speed. Listings 1 and 2 illustrate the difference in typical queries and queries optimized for speed.
Listing 1. A Fairly Inefficient Query
Listing 2. The Same Query Optimized for Speed
Generally one optimizes PostgreSQL queries using SQL commands such as Create index, vacuum, vacuum analyze, cluster and explain. However, Calabrese offers this warning: Access 97 took the liberty of changing his queries based on how it thought they would be more efficient. Calabrese headed this off by using a pass-through query that told Access not to touch the query but send it straight to back end.
In the optimization he did for Bike Friday's PostgreSQL database, Calabrese scored most of his speed gains by extracting smaller, more exact amounts of data. Instead of the database querying 100,000 product order details at once, he told it to only look at the orders using some 2,000 details instead. "Access is greedy", Calabrese said. "It grabs all the records and goes through them every time. That's very inefficient. We have 30 people with the company now, and if each has a computer accessing the database, that's going to be problem real fast in terms of speed."
The next stage in the changeover is debugging queries, and there are two basic routes here. The first is to activate and use the debugging tools in the ODBC driver for PostgreSQL. One can have the driver create a log so that whenever Access sends an SQL command, PostgreSQL puts it into the log, which is written to the root of the C drive. This will catch Access in the act if it tries to retrieve something like 100,000 rows or otherwise butcher a query and, for example, break it into a thousand smaller ones. Basically, it's an audit trail that makes it easier to catch haywire queries and rewrite them if something goes wrong, as it did here:
conn=86311032, query=' ' CONN ERROR: func=SQLDriverConnect, desc='Error from CC_Connect', errnum=105, errmsg='The database does not exist on the server or user authentication failed.'
Alternately, if Access is sending a query and the system hangs, one can change the debug level on the server side to read the queries being sent to it. Fine tuning is a matter of going through each screen and testing them to ensure they're all up to speed by simplifying queries, making them faster or combining them. This process sounds easy but isn't, considering how esoteric some SQL lore can be. But, running two or three complete alpha tests at this point is going to save grief later.
The next step before putting the whole thing into production is to beta test it. Calabrese monitored Bike Friday's back-end system while salespeople, executives and associates used it in real time. "You're not just testing whether the front end has errors, but how big you need to make the server", Calabrese said. He wrote a query script that kept close watch on the three main bottlenecks (CPU, the disk and the network) to see what loads they were taking.
For hardware tweaking (CPU, disks and memory), Bruce Momjian's Linux Journal article "PostgreSQL Performance Tuning" (August 2001 issue and also accessible on-line at www.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue88/4791.html ) provides a handy overview. Calabrese's script measured CPU stress based on how many seconds the load remained at 100%, 50% and idle. It looked at disk transfers in terms of the number of reads and writes to and from the disk, as well as the amount in kilobytes of those reads and writes. As for the network rate, Calabrese's script counted packets per second and bytes per second. Calabrese also suggested doing a ping/F on an isolated network, a flood ping that will indicate how much the server can take before it maxes. As far as memory goes, the more you have, the more data PostgreSQL will load into it and the faster the database will be.
Of course, the only way really to determine if a database is fast enough is whether or not the people using it feel it is fast enough. Fractional waits that seem insignificant on paper can be much longer in real time. Each organization will have its own tolerance level for speed and performance. The only way to be sure the database is working the way the organization wants it to is to let people use it and listen to what they say.
Finally, once you've gone through a few production tests, having listed and cleaned up all the errors in the interface, you're ready to roll out an open-source foundation for a real-world, enterprise e-business.

Nascar Values
3. What's the Matter with Nascar?
"People do not necessarily vote in their self-interest. They vote their identity. They vote their values." --George Lakoff in Don't Think of an Elephant
I was an accidental gearhead. In 2000, Neil Amdur, the Times's sports editor, had cool-spotted stock car racing as the next major-league entertainment. Just at that moment, I was looking to let some fresh air into my weekly column. As we planned it, I would drop into Nascar from time to time, a dilettante anthropologist. Then Earnhardt crashed and I was suddenly the department's leading expert on the new century's hot sport.
Most of the people I spent time with over the next few years were white Christian men with rural roots. Once I got a few rules of the road under my belt--drink beer, not wine; never underestimate their intelligence or sensitivity to slight; and be totally honest about my own lack of car sense--it was the best time I had as a sportswriter. They were eager to help me understand their sport. This included not only hilarious nights of eating catfish with sides of raffish tales, but a window onto an America I had not known and, most memorably, a chance to drive a stock car at about 135 miles per hour. Those sixteen laps around Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte (cleared of all other cars for obvious reasons) were the only time in my life I did not have a single extraneous thought. When it was over, I brimmed with admiration for Nascar drivers who drove fifty miles per hour faster, while being rubbed and bumped by forty other cars.
I also appreciated the passion of their fans who clearly understood the realness of this sport, its danger, its demands for concentration and skill, and--compared to the insecure faux macho of so many "stick-and-ballers"--its...manliness.
It's part of the Nascar deal for drivers to attend sponsors' and car manufacturers' breakfasts, trade shows, and customer parties, even on race days, and those who do it well can extend a mediocre career. So they interact with their fans far more than any other athletes and are always saying how "grateful" they are to them.
They should be. Nascar fans shop against their best interests so they can remain loyal to the sponsor of a driver they root for. They understand, they'll say, that the main sponsor's annual infusion of $15 million or so is what makes their favorite car go.
One fan actually told me: "My husband buys Tide even when it's more expensive than Wisk because he likes the driver Ricky Craven. We have friends who don't like Bud but drink it because of Dale, Jr. When my Sprint contract is up, I'll probably switch to Nextel." (This was before the merger.)
It gets worse. Pfizer, which sponsored the Viagra car, used to set up a tent at racetracks offering blood and urine exams by local doctors for diabetes and other disorders. I sat in one day and was amazed at the number of overweight men and women with dangerously high glucose and blood pressure levels. For many of them, this was their only medical exam of the year. Some said they had made a choice between their medicine and their grandstand tickets. "Why live if you can't go racin'?" was the way they'd put it.
Some of the Pfizer docs thought that they were making an understandable--if regrettable--"quality of life" decision.
Those grateful drivers don't have to make quite the same decisions. Unlike most other athletes, they sound like their fans, they even look like their fans, who use words like "modest" and "humble" to describe them. But after the race is over, while fans wait hours in monster traffic jams to leave the track, the drivers typically chopper to the airport where they fly their own jets home to backyard airplane hangars in gated communities. Their neighbors tend to be corporate executives.
4. Nascarizing Politics, Politicizing Nascar
"In an unsettled economy such as this one there will be even more of a disparity between the richer teams, which typically dominate victory lane, and all the others."--Geoff Smith, president of Roush Racing
Like the GOP, Nascar could crack wide open, and knows it. Both are ripe for breakaways. This is the main reason why the France family recently capped at three the number of cars a racing team could run in its premier series, the Nextel Cup. Too powerful a team, besides destabilizing Nascar's idea of competitive balance, could also make demands, using as leverage the threat of starting a competing racing league.
A Brand New Party to rival the Grand Old Party? The threat may be more real for Nascar, which owns twelve of the twenty-two tracks on which it holds races. Most of the others are owned by rival Speedway Motorsports, Inc., parent company of Texas Speedway, which was behind a recent lawsuit aimed at forcing Nascar to let it stage not just one but two of the 36 annual Nextel Cup races.
Nascar finessed the problem, but in so doing looked--to many traditionalists--pragmatic to the point of hypocrisy. Nascar sold one of its most storied raceways, Rockingham in North Carolina, to Texas Speedway for $100 million. Texas had little interest in the real estate, but could now take over Rockingham's Nextel Cup date and have its two races.
Like any good autocracy, the France family has often subordinated the best interests of individuals to its own control and for the sake of "growing" the sport.
Take a fine Republican issue like safety regulations--or the lack of.
Driver safety didn't become a discussable issue until after Earnhardt's death. Drivers, long in denial, suddenly realized that if Old Ironhead could buy it, so could they. Until that time, few wore the head-and-neck supports that are now standard. And, believe it or not, wearing helmets was not mandatory then (although all did).
Now, Nascar is finally developing "soft" walls and making a greater effort to supervise recovery from concussions and other injuries that drivers once tended to disregard.
At the bigger speedways, where it's possible to race at more than 200 miles per hour, the specter of cars flying off the track and into the grandstand led to the invention of the "restrictor plate," a piece of aluminum with small holes that limits the fuel-air mixture entering the carburetor. In effect, it slows down the car. It also means closer, more competitive racing because a fast car can't run away from the pack. So now they race in tight bunches which leads to frequent (though rarely deadly) wrecks, which fans love. Drivers hate it.
Take another Republican issue, the "right to work." In the early days, Big Bill intimidated drivers (sometimes with his pistol, it was said) who tried to unionize. These days, the France family uses more sophisticated corporate tactics, including what seems like favoritism to certain manufacturers and race teams--and a rule book so fluid everyone is always off-balance.
The joke goes that the Nascar rule book is written in pencil and no one has ever seen it. There actually are some rules, but the codicil to all of them--"except in rare instances"--gives officials the latitude to change technical specifications and racing regulations, thus keeping races exciting and competitive. Last week's rule about gas-tank size, say, or post-accident procedures can be modified this week for reasons only conspiracy theorists claim to understand. Enforcement has often seemed arbitrary, not to say political. (It's all a plan to let Dale, Jr. win, they whisper.)
I've always thought that Nascar's wink-wink attitude toward such bad behavior as unnecessary bumping during a race and fist-fights afterward, as well as outright cheating, was another form of Republican-esque control.
Cheating has never been considered immoral or unethical in the sport. In fact, trying to bend the rules is expected as long as no one offers a direct challenge to the supreme authority of the France family. Tiny changes in the size of a gas tank, a shock absorber, or a restrictor-plate hole can win a race. There are constant technical inspections. Seized tampered parts are displayed in the garage area, where it's fun to watch crew chiefs checking out the contraband for new ideas. Nascar rarely imposes real punishment, almost never on its stars.
And then there's the media.
By tightly controlling access, Nascar has kept a lively, questioning motor-sports media at bay, White House style.

SPH is the most widely used numerical method for cosmological simulations
with gas dynamics. With our collaborators, we have developed a new version of
SPH, called Adaptive SPH (ASPH), which addresses some specific limitations of
standard SPH (Shapiro et al. 1996; Owen et al. 1998; Martel & Shapiro 2002).
For a given number of particles, ASPH resolves much better than standard SPH
whenever anisotropic collapse or expansion occurs. ASPH also has a shock-
tracking algorithm that can be used to restrict spurious heating by artificial
viscosity. ASPH simulations in 3D of explosions during galaxy formation are
described elsewhere (Martel & Shapiro 2000, 2001a, b).
2. Standard SPH vs. Adaptive SPH (ASPH)
For kernel smoothing in standard SPH to be accurate, the smoothing length
h must be a few times the mean particle spacing ∆x.
variations in the fluid quantities are oversmoothed, leading to a loss of resolution;
if h < ∆x, particles lose contact with their nearest neighbors, resulting in a loss
of accuracy. Since the mean particle spacing varies with time and space, each
particle must carry its own smoothing length, which varies with time to reflect
the expansion or contraction of the fluid. This is illustrated in Figure 1. The
top row shows a 2D distribution of particles contracting isotropically. We focus
on one particle, shown by a large dot. The smoothing length h of that particle
defines a zone of influence, indicated by a circle. As the fluid contracts, h is
reduced in proportion to the mean particle spacing. The second row illustrates
the case of an anisotropic contraction, the planar collapse of a sinusoidal density
perturbation, leading to the formation of a caustic. In the direction of collapse,

the smoothing length does not shrink fast enough to keep up with the contraction
of the fluid, and eventually greatly exceeds the mean particle spacing, leading to
poor resolution. In the transverse direction, the smoothing length shrinks but
the fluid does not contract, and horizontal rows of particles progressively lose
contact with one another. The third row illustrates the ASPH approach. The
smoothing is anisotropic. The smoothing length is replaced by an H-tensor which
defines an elliptical zone of influence (ellipsoidal in 3D). This zone of influence
deforms and rotates to follow the deformation of the fluid.
length is now direction dependent, and remains proportional to the mean particle
spacing in any direction.
Artificial viscosity is necessary to allow the formation of shocks, but can
lead to spurious preheating of gas contracting supersonically far from any shock.
In ASPH, the evolution of the H-tensors can be used to track the location of
shocks and apply artificial viscosity selectively. This is illustrated in the third
row of Figure 1. In ASPH, viscous heating is initially turned off. As the system
evolves, the smoothing ellipsoid flattens, with one axis approaching zero length.
ASPH uses this to determine when a particle is about to be shocked and turns
viscous heating on for that particle. This restricts viscous heating to particles
encountering shocks, as needed.
To illustrate how ASPH achieves higher resolution than standard SPH, we
focus on a stringent test, the planar collapse of a sinusoidal plane-wave density
perturbation, the cosmological pancake problem. The fluctuation grows from
linear to nonlinear amplitude and forms a caustic in the dark matter distribution
in the plane of symmetry at scale factor a = ac, with strong accretion shocks
located on each side of the central plane. We use equal-mass dark matter and
gas particles, in a universe with Ω = 1 and Ωgas= 0.5, with 64 particles per
pancake wavelength λp, to evolve the system to a = 2.333ac. Figure 2 shows gas
density, temperature, velocity, and pressure profiles (in computational units) at
the final time. The shock is located at log(x/λp) = −1.3 (from midplane). The
ASPH results are significantly better than the SPH results, which is especially
noticeable in the postshock density and temperature profiles. The ASPH profiles
follow the exact postshock solution over nearly 3 orders of magnitude in length,
while the SPH profiles level off because of limited spatial resolution.
The smoothing
3.False Cooling
A serious numerical problem emerges for both algorithms when radiative cooling
is added. In Figure 3, we plot a typical cooling function commonly used in
cosmological simulations. Let us assume that the rectangle in the top panel of
Figure 3 represents the physically relevant region. The cooling rate drops sharply
at low and high temperatures. To approximate this behavior, we consider a
simplified cooling window function illustrated in the bottom panel of Figure 3.
The cooling rate is constant inside a fixed temperature window (Region II), and
zero outside that window (Regions I and III).
In principle, when a fluid element is shock-heated from Region I to Re-
gion III, it should cross the shock too fast to cool radiatively as it passes thru
Region II. The numerical shock has a finite thickness which is unphysically large,
however, so the shock transit time, tshock, can artificially exceed the physical

rectangular box in the top panel.
Top panel: typical radiative cooling rate commonly used
cooling time in Region II, tcool, causing spurious radiative cooling. Since tshock
scales like the shock thickness divided by the preshock velocity, it depends on
resolution, as the number of particles across the shock tends to be constant. If
the cooling rate is so large or the resolution so poor that tshock> tcool, particles
will be unable to cross Region II, as cooling forces them back to Region I, and
the shock does not form. We call this the False Cooling Problem.
To illustrate this problem, we introduce a window cooling function to the
cosmological pancake problem. Figure 4 shows the temperature and pressure
profiles at a = 2.333ac.The shaded area indicates the cooling window. If
cooling is slow (left panels), the shocked gas particles are able to cross the cooling
window and accumulate correctly in the postshock region. The particles located
at the bottom of the cooling window are those whose postshock temperature
was inside the cooling window. They cooled after having been shocked. When
cooling is fast (right panels), however, particles are incapable of reaching their
correct postshock temperature, and the shock does not even form.
4.Possible Solution
The false cooling problem only affects particles that are going through a shock
transition. If the algorithm could track the location of shocks, then false cooling
could be eliminated, simply by not allowing particles undergoing shock transi-

tions to cool. There is already a shock-tracking algorithm in ASPH, which is
used to restrict viscous heating. The algorithm identifies particles located in
shock transitions and turns viscous heating on for them. We can attempt to
solve the false cooling problem by turning cooling off for the same particles,
with results as shown in the left panels of Figure 5. Particles are now able to
reach the postshock temperature and pressure (compare with the right panels
of Fig. 4), and the ASPH solution is close to the exact one. There are some
oscillations near the contact discontinuity between hot and cooled gas, but since
it involves only a few particles, these oscillations are underresolved and do not
feed back into the evolution of the system. The right panel shows an attempt
to improve the solution by introducing a small amount of artificial conduction.
The oscillations are gone, but the postshock profile is not as well reproduced.
5. Summary
Anisotropic smoothing kernels enable the ASPH algorithm to simulate prob-
lems involving strongly anisotropic collapse or expansion more accurately than
isotropic SPH, with better length resolution for the same number of particles.
Additional improvement results because ASPH tracks the location of shocks and
restricts viscous heating to particles overtaken by shocks.
We have identified a major problem, called false cooling, which can affect
cosmological simulations whenever the cooling rate has temperature peaks. False
cooling prevents shocked gas from reaching regions of high temperature where
the cooling is low. Solving this problem may require a shock-tracking capability
like that of ASPH. Our preliminary results are encouraging.

Parallel Programming with NVIDIA CUDA
If parallelization of your algorithm is possible, using CUDA will speed up your computations dramatically, allowing you to make the most out of your hardware.
The main challenge consists in deciding how to partition your problem into chunks suitable for parallel execution. As with so many other aspects in parallel programming, this is where experience and—why not—imagination come into play.
Additional techniques offer room for even more improvement. In particular, the on-chip shared memory of each compute node allows further speedup of the computation process.

Why use the standard deviation in this case where your sample size=2? Using the two actual values would make more sense to me (estimating the distribution in this case obfuscates the underlying data, as you've irreversibly "reduced" two observed values to two statistical estimates). I think it makes more sense to show the actual observations, or do (at least) three experiments...Replies

FWIW to make sure I wasn't making it up (I've seen error bars on small n estimates before), note the line:
"However, if n is very small (for example n = 3), rather than showing error bars and statistics, it is better to simply plot the individual data points."

Hey guys, quick question.
Started my Vimto Wine at 9am yesterday (now 1pm the next day) and this is on the top of it? Is this the start of fermentation or have I done it wrong?
Looks like it should to me. Take the lid off and listed for bubbles...It'll also smell a little yeasty at this point. give it a stir, oxygen is a good thing during primary. Leave the lid off and just cover w/ a cloth to keep bugs out. Transfer to secondary, top up, and airlock once the SG is about 1.010'ish.
Happy Brewing!!
Seriously, congrats...you are making wine.
Just because something CAN ferment, does not mean it SHOULD be fermented.
Thanks, just got my first bubble! Getting roughly one every ten minutes or so. Going to take the lid off tomorrow and put a fresh, clean dish cloth over the top of it for a few hours or so .
The only sure fire way to tell if your wine is fermenting is with a hydrometer, even though it appears to be fermenting, never guess, as with beer, use a hydrometer.
On a side note, if you have the top screwed on tight with no airlock, you need to put an airlock on it, or a piece of cloth over the opening.
The yeast needs oxygen while fermenting, once it is done fermenting, you need to rack the wine into a smaller container or carboy, that much head space will cause the wine to spoil.
I hope that this helps!
This is the smallest container i've got for it . As it stands now I took the lid off for approx 5 hours with a damp cloth placed over the top and held in place with a elastic band. I then replaced the lid and put an airlock on and the bubbles came acoming. I get one roughly every 5 minutes or so (very slow). I have a hydro meter but my testing thingy broke so a new one is on order, once that comes and I can see when fermentation has stopped I'll be re racking (to lose lees) for one month, with a closed lid (no airlock) and I will then bottle, and leave for a few months .
I agree with Yopper, keep an airlock on it.
Don't worry about the activity in the airlock, it isn't always an indication of fermentation, furthermore, a slow fermentation if better for the wine in most cases.
Okay guys! The airlock and stuff is back on! I'll update with how it goes .

Accent strip - 1 or 2?
Hello! Our tile guy is coming in the morning and I realized I haven't decided everything! I know, I know - I should have asked before 8pm the night before!
We have a small 8x5 bathroom with a shower that is about 4x3.5. It will have 10 x 13 beigey tiles set in a brick pattern (long side horizontal). I also have a 1x1 brown glass mosaic for an accent strip and to put in the niche (pic below). I'm trying to decide on 1 or 2 accent strips. Any thoughts/opinions?
I will say, the granite on the vanity is verde borgona - SUPER busy. But it's only 36x22. Also, I LOVE my brown mosaic so I'm leaning to two strips. But, do you think it will be too busy with the vanity and the brick pattern of the wall tile?
The tile is actually a little darker than the pic - but it has movement, too. The accents look copper in real life.
Go ahead - tell me the truth. I'd rather it look good. Plus, I guess I won't really see the strip down at shin level! LOL
Personally, I think less is more in a small bathroom. I vote for one strip. Of course my new shower (4'x8') is all white subway, white trim and white hex for floor tiles. My contrasts are stainless fixtures and grab bars. LOL! (I'm always afraid I'll get tired of busy decor, so I tend to go with basics and add color other places.)
My niece calls it my 'shower house'.
Here is a photo of what I did in my tub/shower:
Sorry...I'll try posting the picture again:
Here is a link that might be useful: Tile in Shower/tub
I love your glass mosaic too! Would you share the name of it? I think though that from what you're describing I'd go with one accent row plus the interior of the niche. Sometimes, adding more lessens the impact of a beautiful accent, IMO. And from a practical standpoint, a higher accent row will keep your mosaic and its many grout lines out of the main splash zone and require less effort to keep it clean.
golddust - Your shower is almost the size of my room! :) Enjoy that beautiful space!!
RMS - 8ft. Tiling to ceiling but not ON ceiling
terrijim - Thanks for your picture - it looks great. Maybe that's the key - a bit bigger accent strip.
mydreamhome - Yes, 1 niche. I think you are right following terrijim's picture for inspiration.
treasure - I got it at Home Depot! Just an iridescent glass mosaic. It is 4.99/sq foot. Meanwhile, the fancy tile place I went to had the same thing for $15/sq foot!!
Thanks for all the thoughts, everyone! Looks like it will be one accent - above the spray line as treasure mentioned.
We just stopped tiling for the night. We are doing white subway, running bond with one three tile high accent strip at about eye level, and two niches with the small tile in them. The original plan was subway 3/4 of the way up a rope tile framing a strip of the subway tile in a herringbone pattern. I too was thinking we should keep it as plain as possible, use replaceables, towels etc for the color. DH is doing the work and he is really drawn to the small glass tiles. Once we finally decided on a sink we noticed a tile that coordinated too well to walk away from. We are tiling tub to ceiling with a wainscoting in the rest of the room.

The antiviral activity, resistance profile, pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of BMS-790052, a nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) replication complex inhibitor, were evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential panel, multiple ascending dose study. Thirty patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection were randomized to receive a 14-day course of BMS-790052 (1, 10, 30, 60, or 100 mg once daily or 30 mg twice daily) or placebo in a ratio of 4:1. The mean maximum decline from baseline in HCV RNA ranged from 2.8 to 4.1 log10 IU/mL; the placebo group showed no evidence of antiviral activity. Most patients experienced viral rebound on or before day 7 of treatment with BMS-790052 monotherapy; viral rebound was associated with viral variants that had been previously implicated in resistance development in the in vitro replicon system. The PK profile was supportive of once-daily dosing with median peak plasma concentrations at 1-2 hours postdose and mean terminal half-life of 12-15 hours. Steady state was achieved following 3-4 days of daily dosing. BMS-790052 was well tolerated in all dose groups, with adverse events occurring with a similar frequency in BMS-790052- and placebo-treated groups. There were no clinically relevant changes in vital signs, laboratory, or electrocardiogram parameters. Conclusion: BMS-7590052 is the first NS5A replication complex inhibitor with multiple dose proof-of-concept in clinic. At doses of 1-100 mg daily, BMS-790052 was well tolerated, had a PK profile supportive of once-daily dosing, and produced a rapid and substantial decrease in HCV-RNA levels in patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1.

North End Historical Society Visits MHS
On Tuesday, 2 November, a group of 20 members of the North End Historical Society (NEHS) visited the MHS for a tour and document show and tell. The visit was arranged by Alex Goldfeld, the president of the NEHS and Elaine Grublin, the head of reader services at the MHS.
The guests arrived promptly at 6:00 PM for brief introductory remarks in the Dowse Library. The group then explored the building, guided by MHS staff. Anne Bentley, curator of art, lead a tour of the art and artifacts on display throughout the building, including portraits of famous North Enders such as Paul Revere. Elaine Grublin offered an introduction to using the MHS library.
Reconvening in the Dowse Library guests were treated to a North End focused document show and tell that included large detailed maps of the North End in 1798 drawn by Samuel Chester Clough, Paul Revere's deposition recounting his midnight ride, documents related to Father Taylor and the Seamen's Bethel, an early 19th century engraving of Commercial Wharf, and a number of other treasures from our collections. Librarian Peter Drummey, offered an overview of the items on display (pictured) before the guests had an opportunity to view the materials up close.
It was a wonderful evening for all that attended. We hope to see many of the North End Historical Society members return to the MHS in the future.

Vehicle Safety Research
The Vehicle Safety (NVS) program serves as the foundation that supports the Agency's goal to reduce motor vehicle injuries and fatalities.
Through extensive research, development, testing, crash investigation, and data collection and analysis activities, NVS provides the scientific strength needed to support the Agency's motor vehicle and traffic safety goals.
Heat Stroke Prevention Technology Study
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate products that are designed to prevent children up to 24 months old from being left behind in closed, parked vehicles – a scenario that can result in heat stroke. This preliminary assessment was the first of its kind to evaluate this kind of product. The efficacy of heat stroke prevention technologies in sensing the presence of a child in a child restraint and alerting the caregiver if he or she walks away from the car without removing the child was evaluated. The study also examined the effects of child posture and the time/child movement associated with a typical commute on the efficacy of these devices. Read the report

What's making news?
On November 26, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh formally announced the launch of much-awaited Direct Cash Transfer Scheme. The scheme proposes to transfer subsidy amount, that is given away by various departments of the government for the poor and the deserving, directly to the bank accounts of beneficiaries. It will be implemented from January 1, 2013 covering 51 districts across 16 States. The Congress terms the scheme as revolutionary and game-changer, while opposition and Left have their own share of criticism.
What's the scheme all about?
Families with Aadhar card, entitled to subsidies, pension, scholarships etc, will get money directly in their bank accounts. Direct cash transfer of subsidies would be done through Aadhaar-enabled bank accounts. Every person is expected to hold a bank account to enable such transfers. Initially, 29 welfare programmes will be covered. According to government sources, it would consider the feasibility of cash instead of food (under the Public Distribution System) and fertilizers, at a later stage.
What is Aadhaar scheme and card?
Aadhaar card is an ID card with a 12-digit unique number issued to all the citizens of India (on voluntary basis). It will carry the demographics and biometric information of the holder. Payments of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act ( MGNREGA) wages are being done using this card.
Who's Who?
A high-power National Committee on Direct Cash Transfers was constituted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The members of the Committee are Prime Minister (Chairperson), the Union Ministers for Finance, Communications, Rural Development, Social Justice & Empowerment, Human Resource Development, Tribal Affairs, Minority Affairs, Health & Family Welfare, Labour & Employment, Petroleum & Natural Gas, Chemicals & Fertilizers, the Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, MoSs for Food & Public Distribution and Women & Child Development, Chairman, UIDAI, the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary to the PM (Convenor).
Why is it being done?
This system is aimed at eliminating fraud, middle-men, black-marketing, and bribery in dispersing of the subsidies.
How are the critics reacting?
Critics point out to the practical shortcomings of the scheme. Only 21 crore people have been issued Aadhaar cards so far. Accessibility to banks in remote villages is still a problem.
The CPI (M) criticised that cash transfers instead of goods will cut subsidies, since the cash to be transferred will not cover the increasing costs of subsidised food grains.
Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) described the scheme as a bribe to voters. It is aimed at 2014 Lok Sabha election, it feels

A group exhibition that examines the pioneering role Brazilian artists played in the innovative international art scene of the 1950s to the 1970s. Connecting the work of well-known and widely exhibited Brazilian artists such as Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark and Mira Schendel with the work of some of the lesser-known contemporaries and the younger generation of artists that followed, the exhibition is a celebration of some of the beautiful and artistically radical sculptures with which Brazilian artists have tried to redefine what an art object can actually be.
