ABSTRACT: Precious metal oxides exhibit impressive characteristics that caught worldwide attention due to their promising capacitive performance, excellent electrochemical stability and low resistance, and these metal oxides have been extensively employed in supercapacitor application. This type of supercapacitors is known as redox supercapacitors or pseudocapacitors which applied faradaic process in storing energy in their systems. Thus, new materials with impressive electrochemical performance are highly demanded. In this aspect, cobaltite system with spinel structure has been the subject of intense research due to its established applications in electrochemistry. Besides, carbonaceous materials like activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphites, graphenes and fullerenes utilize electric double-layer capacitance whereby energy is stored by charge separation at an electrode/electrolyte interface. With greater development conducted on metal oxides and carbonaceous materials for supercapacitor application, introduction of hybrid and composite electrodes comprise of these two types of materials have been well received.Ceramics International 01/2015; 41(1).

Article: The utilization of SiNWs/AuNPs-modified indium tin oxide (ITO) in fabrication of electrochemical DNA sensor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work describes the incorporation of SiNWs/AuNPs composite as a sensing material for DNA detection on indium tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass slide. The morphology of SiNWs/AuNPs composite as the modifier layer on ITO was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The morphological studies clearly showed that SiNWs were successfully decorated with 20 nm-AuNPs using self-assembly monolayer (SAM) technique. The effective surface area for SiNWs/AuNPs-modified ITO enhanced about 10 times compared with bare ITO electrode. SiNWs/AuNPs nanocomposite was further explored as a matrix for DNA probe immobilization in detection of dengue virus as a bio-sensing model to evaluate its performance in electrochemical sensors. The hybridization of complementary DNA was monitored by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using methylene blue (MB) as the redox indicator. The fabricated biosensor was able to discriminate significantly complementary, non-complementary and single-base mismatch oligonucleotides. The electrochemical biosensor was sensitive to target DNA related to dengue virus in the range of 9.0–178.0 ng/ml with detection limit of 3.5 ng/ml. In addition, SiNWs/AuNPs-modified ITO, regenerated up to 8 times and its stability was up to 10 weeks at 4 °C in silica gel.Materials Science and Engineering C 12/2014; 45:270–276.

Article: Doxorubicin-loaded magnetic gold nanoshells for a combination therapy of hyperthermia and drug delivery[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present work, nanohybrid of an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (Dox) loaded gold-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs@Au) were prepared for a combination therapy of cancer by means of both hyperthermia and drug delivery. The Dox molecules were conjugated to SPIONs@Au nanoparticles with the help of cysteamine (Cyst) as a non-covalent space linker and the Dox loading efficiency was investigated to be as high as 0.32mg/mg. Thus synthesized particles were characterized by HRTEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR, SQUID magnetic studies and further tested for heat and drug release at low frequency oscillatory magnetic fields. The hyperthermia studies investigated to be strongly influenced by the applied frequency and the solvents used. The Dox delivery studies indicated that the drug release efficacy is strongly improved by maintaining the acidic pH conditions and the oscillatory magnetic fields, i.e. an enhancement in the Dox release was observed from the oscillation of particles due to the applied frequency, and is not effected by heating of the solution. Finally, the in vitro cell viability and proliferation studies were conducted using two different immortalized cell lines containing a cancerous (MCF-7 breast cancer) and non-cancerous H9c2 cardiac cell type.Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 11/2014; 434:89–97.

Article: Nanoparticle-enhanced electrochemical biosensor with DNA immobilization and hybridization of Trichoderma harzianum gene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The genus Trichoderma is a soil-borne fungi which in numerous reports has been successfully used as a biological control agent against various plant pathogens. The identification of Trichoderma species worldwide is currently deduced from micro-morphological descriptions which are tedious and prone to error. Electrochemical approaches are currently being developed for the detection and analysis of DNA. In the present study, an electrochemical DNA biosensor was successfully developed based on ionic liquid (e.g., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([EMIM][Otf])), ZnO nanoparticles and a chitosan (CHIT) nanocomposite membrane on a modified gold electrode (AuE). A single-stranded DNA probe was immobilized on this electrode. Methylene blue (MB) was used as the hybridization indicator to monitor the hybridization reaction of the target DNA. Under optimal conditions using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the target DNA sequences were detectable at concentration ranges of 1.0 × 10−18–1.82 × 10−4 mol L−1, and the detectable limit was 1.0 × 10−19 mol L−1. The developed DNA biosensor enables the study of hybridization with crude DNA fragments and the results of this study confirm that this DNA biosensor provides a fast, sensitive and convenient way for the species level identification of Trichoderma harzianum.10/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.sbsr.2014.06.002
Article: Surface ligand influenced free radical protection of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) toward H9c2 cardiac cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There have been a number of studies which deal with either toxic or non-toxic nature of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs); however, there is no clear cut information about their exact behavior and the reasons for its dual action. The objective of the present study was to investigate the SPIONs having similar oxidation states, but varying surface ligands and their role in terms of protecting the iron-mediated toxic responses. The four different SPIONs includes: (i) SPIONs containing oleic acid (SPIONs-1), (ii) SPIONs without any surface ligand (SPIONs-2), (iii) SPIONs containing cysteamine ligand (SPIONs-3), and (iv) SPIONs having both of oleic acid and cysteamine ligand. The particle size, surface functionality, and electronic oxidation states were confirmed by the HRTEM, FT-IR, and XPS analysis, respectively. On in vitro testing of all four SPIONs with H9c2 cardiomyocyte cell line, the SPIONs-2 without any surface ligand found to exhibit significant decrease in the viability of cells at a concentration of 200 μg mL−1 for 16-h exposure period. Further investigation of toxicity mechanism resulted in the fact that the SPIONs-2 involved in the formation of ROS due to the role played by the more electron deficient Fe3+ form of iron, there by decreased the glutathione release, increased DNA cleavage, and disrupted the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. However, the presence of unsaturation and/or thiol group (–SH) containing ligands on other SPIONs protected the cardiac cells from undergoing ROS-induced oxidative stress. Further, the results of the study confirming the importance of having unsaturated double bonds and/or –SH group possessing ligands onto the surface of SPIONs by means of protecting the cells from the influence of electron deficient Fe3+ state of iron.Journal of Materials Science 09/2014; 49(18).

ABSTRACT: Abstract Modification with suitable chemical substance highly increases the adsorption capacity of activated carbon towards the desired contaminants/pollutants. In this study, activated carbon was modified with dimercapto ligand for mercury removal from wastewaters. However, before modification, the AC was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and BET and then subjected to batch adsorption studies for mercury removal from wastewaters at an initial mercury concentration of 100mgL-1. Atomic Absorption Spectrometer was used to determine mercury concentrations. The experimental equilibrium adsorption results were fitted to both the Langmuir and Freundlich models but, Freundlich model (R2 = 0.99) represented better sorption process than the Langmuir (R2 = 0.92). The kinetic data correlated well with pseudo-second order complemented by intra-particle diffusion.

Article: A simple and sensitive fluorescence based biosensor for the determination of uric acid using H2O2-sensitive quantum dots/dual enzymes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel optical detection system consisting of combination of uricase/HRP-CdS quantum dots (QDs) for the determination of uric acid in urine sample is described. The QDs was used as an indicator to reveal fluorescence property of the system resulting from enzymatic reaction of uricase and HRP (horseradish peroxidase), which is involved in oxidizing uric acid to allaintoin and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced was able to quench the QDs fluorescence, which was proportional to uric acid concentration. The system demonstrated sufficient activity of uricase and HRP at a ratio of 5U:5U and pH 7.0. The linearity of the system toward uric acid was in the concentration range of 125-1000µM with detection limit of 125µM.Biosensors & Bioelectronics 07/2014; 67.

Article: An Aligned-Gap and Centered-Gap Rectangular Multiple Split Ring Resonator for Dielectric Sensing Applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents the design and development of a planar Aligned-Gap and Centered-Gap Rectangular Multiple Split Ring Resonator (SRR) for microwave sensors that operates at a resonance frequency around 5 GHz. The sensor consists of a microstrip transmission line loaded with two elements of rectangular SRR on both sides. The proposed metamaterial sensors were designed and fabricated on Rogers RT5880 substrate having dielectric constant of 2.2 and thickness of 0.787 mm. The final dimension of the proposed sensor was measured at 35 × 14 mm2. Measured results show good agreement with simulated ones as well as exhibiting high Q-factor for use in sensing application. A remarkably shift of resonance frequency is observed upon introduction of several sample with different dielectric value.Sensors 07/2014; 14(7):13134-13148.

Article: Development of surface plasmon resonance sensor for determining zinc ion using novel active nanolayers as probe.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, novel active nanolayers in combination with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system for zinc ion (Zn(2+)) detection has been developed. The gold surface used for the SPR system was modified with the novel developed active nanolayers, i.e. chitosan and chitosan-tetrabutyl thiuram disulfide (chitosan-TBTDS). Both chitosan and chitosan-TBTDS active layers were fabricated on the gold surface by spin coating technique. The system was used to monitor SPR signal for Zn(2+) in aqueous media with and without sensitivity enhancement by TBTDS. For both active nanolayers, the shift of resonance angle is directly proportional to the concentration of Zn(2+) in aqueous media. The higher shift of resonance angle was obtained for chitosan-TBTDS active nanolayer due to a specific binding of TBTDS with Zn(2+). The chitosan-TBTDS active nanolayer enhanced the sensitivity of detection down to 0.1mg/l and also induced a selective detection towards Zn(2+).Spectrochimica Acta Part A Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy 06/2014; 134C:48-52.

Article: Fabrication of an Electrochemical Sensor Based on Gold Nanoparticles/Carbon Nanotubes as Nanocomposite Materials: Determination of Myricetin in Some Drinks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of myricetin on a gold nanoparticle/ethylenediamine/multi-walled carbon-nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/en/MWCNTs/GCE) has been investigated. Myricetin effectively accumulated on the AuNPs/en/MWCNTs/GCE and caused a pair of irreversible redox peaks at around 0.408 V and 0.191 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 mol L-1 phosphate buffer solution (pH 3.5) for oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. The heights of the redox peaks were significantly higher on AuNPs/en/MWNTs/GCE compare with MWCNTs/GC and there was no peak on bare GC. The electron-transfer reaction for myricetin on the surface of electrochemical sensor was controlled by adsorption. Some parameters including pH, accumulation potential, accumulation time and scan rate have been optimized. Under the optimum conditions, anodic peak current was proportional to myricetin concentration in the dynamic range of 5.0×10-8 to 4.0×10-5 mol L-1 with the detection limit of 1.2×10-8 mol L-1. The proposed method was successfully used for the determination of myricetin content in tea and fruit juices.PLoS ONE 05/2014; 9(5):e96686. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0096686 · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: A Novel DNA Nanosensor Based on CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots and Synthesized Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although nanoparticle-enhanced biosensors have been extensively researched, few studies have systematically characterized the roles of nanoparticles in enhancing biosensor functionality. This paper describes a successful new method in which DNA binds directly to iron oxide nanoparticles for use in an optical biosensor. A wide variety of nanoparticles with different properties have found broad application in biosensors because their small physical size presents unique chemical, physical, and electronic properties that are different from those of bulk materials. Of all nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles are proving to be a versatile tool, an excellent case in point being in DNA bioassays, where magnetic nanoparticles are often used for optimization of the hybridization and separation of target DNA. A critical step in the successful construction of a DNA biosensor is the efficient attachment of biomolecules to the surface of magnetic nanoparticles. To date, most methods of synthesizing these nanoparticles have led to the formation of hydrophobic particles that require additional surface modifications. As a result, the surface to volume ratio decreases and nonspecific bindings may occur so that the sensitivity and efficiency of the device deteriorates. A new method of large-scale synthesis of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles which results in the magnetite particles being in aqueous phase, was employed in this study. Small modifications were applied to design an optical DNA nanosensor based on sandwich hybridization. Characterization of the synthesized particles was carried out using a variety of techniques and CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots were used as the reporter markers in a spectrofluorophotometer. We showed conclusively that DNA binds to the surface of ironoxide nanoparticles without further surface modifications and that these magnetic nanoparticles can be efficiently utilized as biomolecule carriers in biosensing devices.Molecules 04/2014; 19(4):4355-68.

Article: An Electrochemical Biosensor for the Determination of Ganoderma boninense Pathogen Based on a Novel Modified Gold Nanocomposite Film Electrode[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A sensitive approach for the determination of Ganoderma boninense DNA is reported based on an electrochemical affinity system using a modified gold sensor. Covalent attachment of probe DNA was achieved by attachment of the amine group to a carboxylic acid group of a 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid monolayer on a nanocomposite film of gold nanoparticles bound to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophen)–poly(styrenesulfonate) on a gold working electrode. The electrochemical detection of sequence-specific DNA of probe and target DNA hybridization was monitored using a new ruthenium complex [Ru(dppz) 2 (qtpy)Cl 2 ; dppz = dipyrido [3,2–a:2',3'-c] phenazine; qtpy = 2,2',-4,4".4'4"'-quarterpyridyl redox marker. The potential was selected through the study of the electrochemical behavior of trisaminomethane-hydrochloride containing a ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid supporting electrolyte on the bare and modified gold electrode. The effect of the hybridization temperature and time were measured. The sensor demonstrated specific detection for the target over a concentration range of 1.0 × 10− 15 M to 1.0 × 10− 9 M with a detection limit of 1.59 × 10− 17 M. Control experiments verified the specificity of the biosensor in the presence of a single mismatched DNA sequence. This detection technology was shown to be effective in terms of sensitivity and selectivity of hybridization events and is a promising device for early detection of Ganoderma boninense and other pathogenic threat agents.Analytical Letters 03/2014; 47(5).

Article: Development of a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-Based DNA Biosensor for Detection of Synthetic Oligonucleotide of Ganoderma boninense.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An optical DNA biosensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) utilizing synthesized quantum dot (QD) has been developed for the detection of specific-sequence of DNA for Ganoderma boninense, an oil palm pathogen. Modified QD that contained carboxylic groups was conjugated with a single-stranded DNA probe (ssDNA) via amide-linkage. Hybridization of the target DNA with conjugated QD-ssDNA and reporter probe labeled with Cy5 allows for the detection of related synthetic DNA sequence of Ganoderma boninense gene based on FRET signals. Detection of FRET emission before and after hybridization was confirmed through the capability of the system to produce FRET at 680 nm for hybridized sandwich with complementary target DNA. No FRET emission was observed for non-complementary system. Hybridization time, temperature and effect of different concentration of target DNA were studied in order to optimize the developed system. The developed biosensor has shown high sensitivity with detection limit of 3.55 × 10-9 M. TEM results show that the particle size of QD varies in the range between 5 to 8 nm after ligand modification and conjugation with ssDNA. This approach is capable of providing a simple, rapid and sensitive method for detection of related synthetic DNA sequence of Ganoderma boninense.

Article: Preparation and Characterization of Poly(ethyl hydrazide)-Grafted Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fibre for the Removal of Cu(II) Ions from an Aqueous Environment.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poly(ethyl hydrazide)-grafted oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre (peh-g-opefb) was successfully prepared by heating poly(methyl acrylate)-grafted opefb (pma-g-opefb) at 60 °C for 4 h with a solution of hydrazine hydrate (15% v/v) in ethanol. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the product shows a secondary amine peak at 3267 cm-1, with amide carbonyl peaks at 1729 cm-1 and 1643 cm-1. The chelating ability of peh-g-opefb was tested with copper ion in aqueous solution. A batch adsorption study revealed that maximum adsorption of copper ion was achieved at pH 5. An isotherm study showed the adsorption follows a Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 43.48 mg g-1 at 25 °C. A kinetic study showed that the adsorption of copper ion rapidly reaches equilibrium and follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a constant rate of 7.02 × 10-4 g mg-1 min-1 at 25 °C. The Gibbs free energy, ∆G⁰, value is negative, indicating a spontaneous sorption process. Entropy, ∆S⁰, gives a positive value, indicating that the system is becoming increasingly disordered after the adsorption of copper ion. A positive enthalpy value, ∆H⁰, shows that the endothermic process takes place during the adsorption and is more favourable at high temperatures.Molecules 09/2013; 18(7):8461-72.

Article: Synthesis and characterization of molecularly imprinted polymer membrane for the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared by bulk polymerization in acetonitrile using 2,4-dinitrophenol, acrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and benzoyl peroxide, as the template, functional monomer, cross-linker, and initiator, respectively. The MIP membrane was prepared by hybridization of MIP particles with cellulose acetate (CA) and polystyrene (PS) after being ground and sieved. The prepared MIP membrane was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The parameters studied for the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol included the effect of pH, sorption kinetics, and the selectivity of the MIP membrane. Maximum sorption of 2,4-nitrophenol by the fabricated CA membrane with MIP (CA-MIP) and the PS membrane with MIP (PS-MIP) was observed at pH 7.0 and pH 5.0, respectively. The sorption of 2,4-dinitrophenol by CA-MIP and PS-MIP followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. For a selectivity study, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 3-chlorophenol, and phenol were selected as potential interferences. The sorption capability of CA-MIP and PS-MIP towards 2,4-dinitrophenol was observed to be higher than that of 2,4-dichlorophenol, 3-chlorophenol, or phenol.International Journal of Molecular Sciences 02/2013; 14(2):3993-4004.

Mvespa or others--About the rusty nail water/iron
Hi, I just read the following tip here:
"I keep a plastic juice bottle with rusty nails and water in it, I call it my rusty nail bottle. Plants need iron, so the rusty nail water is the cheapest way to get it to them. I just go grab it and water all the plants with the water and just keep filling it up over and over again!"
Do *all* plants benefit from the extra iron? It sounds great, but I don't want to water the "wrong" flowers this way.
Thank you for clarifying, :)
Rust is iron oxide, and it is basically insoluable. That means plants do not use or cannot uptake this form of iron. Most soils are not iron deficient as it is an abundant element of earth. What usually makes iron inavailable to plants are other factors like the pH of the soil, and whether the soil is waterlogged or suffering from aeration problems.
If you want to make sure iron is available to your plants the most important thing you can probably do is to correct poor drainage, and do a soil test to see if your soil pH is too high (lime soils).
Of course a nail in your water bucket won't hurt anything, either.
Our soil is always very alkaline, about 8.5, and after years of trying to get it closer to ideal pH of 7 or so, a representative from the U. of Arizona pointed out that our water has a high pH, so it won't work very well, or for long.
Now I apply a chelated iron preparation from Fertilome, and the plants are getting greener.
According to Organic Gardening, in an article a year or so ago, Ironite, a product widely used for the same purpose, has very high lead levels, and shouldn't be used on fruits or vegetables. I hope the chelated iron stuff doesn't have the same problem.
I just saw this post. I got the tip from a English lady who has beautiful gardens. I know the English are very into gardening and usually know what they are talking about. As far as the iron being insoluble, I don't really know, but it doesn't cost anything and doesn't hurt anything either - so why not.
'Ironite ... has very high lead levels, and shouldn't be used on fruits or vegetables'
I looked for another link but could not find it. This one tells about lead and arsenic in Ironite though. From what I understand, the Liquid Ironite is okay to use and doesn't contain heavy metals.
Here is a link that might be useful: www.envirolaw.org/poison.html
Chelated iron is a good "greener" and is used as a foliar applicatton in the nursery business when plants go chlorotic and need to be greened up for appearance and sales. It is a fix however, and the underlying problem is what should be addressed. Iron deficiency can be present in sandy soils, but isn't in most soils. Just in a form the plant cannot use. Usually adjusting the pH of the soil and using proper watering techniques will correct the deficiency in the plant, without tinkering with the soil's iron levels at all.
I found the link below. I quote in part ".... iron [that is] not water-soluble ... cannot be absorbed by plant roots. Such iron will be tied up indefinitely unless soil conditions change. This ... explains why rusty nails or iron shavings do not correct iron deficiency....
"Several methods are available for treating iron deficiency. These are: 1) soil application of elemental sulfur combined with ferrous (iron) sulfate; 2) soil application of iron chelates; 3) foliarsprays containing ferrous sulfate or chelated iron; or 4) trunk injection of ferric ammonium citrate or iron sulfate (trees only)....
The link is to an extension.usu.edu file and has much more information and explainations. (The link is to .pdf file. If you don't want to bother with that you may google for "control of iron chlorosis" and get a link to display in HTTP.)
Here is a link that might be useful: CONTROL OF IRON CHLOROSIS IN ORNAMENTAL AND CROP PLANTS
my Mother who lives in Central Florida has a grapefruit tree that was not producing anything. The soil is alkaline as far as I know. She had a friend who recommended she drive a rusty nail into the trunk of the tree and see if it helped the tree produce.
Lo and behold, every year since the tree has exponentially produced grapefruit!! Now I hear explanations regarding iron deficiancy, but would like to hear a scientific explanation for how this helped?
I have another theory, but it is not tested and I would love to have any experts shed some light on this. Could the production of fruit be related to stress from the nail, in turn triggering a "survival mechanism" which in turn creates fruit, which of course have seeds to perpetuate the species??? Far stretch, but I do not like old wives tales as an explanation, and I must understand this phenomenon!! Please advise
Summers_end, if you can find another non-producing tree and get permission, just drive some nails into it that are not iron. Someone makes aluminum nails for something and a galvanized roofing nail should function as non-iron even thought it has an iron core.
BTW, I have hear of stressing lone apple trees to produce fruit but I had a semester of citrus studies in Arizona and never heard of stressing grapefruit.
Another BTW, at the time your mother drove nails into her grapefruit did a neighbor just happen to plant grapefruit? Citrus sometimes shows this goofy behavior called "grove physiology" where lone trees are loath to produce but the same tree in a grove produces just fine.
People don't know what they are talking about when they say that Rust isn't a good source of iron. People are absolutely correct when they say that plants can't absorb rust, but they completely forget that rust is turned into organic chelates or free ions over time.
If you want a faster process for making free iron ions, just dissolve nails or steel wool in vinegar. If you have already alkaline soils, you can just dilute as needed. If you suffer from slightly acidic soils, you might want to buffer the solution with ashes. You most likely wont have to as the process of rust dissolving in acid neutralizes it. Plus, excess acetic acid most likely will evaporate.

FOR-A to Showcase Flagship Products at CAPER 2013
Cypress, CA â FOR-A Corporation of America, a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, announces its plans for the 2013 CAPER show in Buenos Aires. CAPER (Cámara Argentina de Proveedores y Fabricantes de Equipos de RadiodifusÃon)âan annual trade show taking place from October 23-25, 2013 at the Centro Costa Salgueroâdraws thousands of visitors primarily from Latin Americaâs professional broadcast, cable, and satellite television, cinema, and radio markets.
At its CAPER 2013 exhibit in booth C-10, FOR-A will show many of its latest The FA-9520 multi purpose signal processor innovations, including video signal processors, HD/SD/analog multi-viewers, and a HD/SD frame rate converter.
âSince the show began in 1992, CAPER has become one of the most significant professional video trade shows in Latin America, and FOR-A has consistently exhibited at this event,â said Mario Rodriguez, FOR-Aâs Latin American Sales Manager. âAs a global manufacturer, we cannot understate the importance of the Latin American market, which is growing exponentially year after year. Weâre excited to highlight products that will help our Latin American customers satisfy their production needs and expand their businesses.â
Video processing is a key concern in Latin America, where many broadcast standards and video formats coexist. FOR-A will feature its FA-9520, a dual-channel 3G/HD/SD-SDI and analog composite I/O device that integrates the functionality of a frame synchronizer, up/down/cross/aspect converter, full color corrector, and automatic video optimizer (AVO). The FA-9520âs toolset optionally processes analog component I/O, Dolby E encoder and Dolby E decoder signals.
Also for the mixed source environment, FOR-A will show the MV-1620HS, a compact (1RU) multi-viewer that accepts up to 16 channels of HD/SD-SDI or analog composite signals, as well as NTSC, PAL, 1080/59.94i, 1080/23.98PsF and 1080/50i formats, for monitoring on one or two screens. It also features a customizable window layout, audio level displays, titles, and timers.
Another product on display at CAPER 2013 is the FA-1010 3G/HD/SD signal processor. With 10 video inputs and outputs, the FA-1010 offers multi-channel routing between sources as well as effective video and audio signal processing for line, relay, reporting, production, editing and delivery applications. The FRC-30 HD/SD frame rate converter and the MBP-100SX clip server will also be displayed.

While I was trying the leaked GPE lollipop rom, I noticed that the Dot-view case bypasses the lockscreen and goes straight to the home screen.
Is there any way to enable the lockscreen while using the dotview case? Thanks in advance!

I've been doing some research on the ATF website and browsing this site some. Do I need an FFL to purchase a Class III weapon? I ask because I do NOT intend to sell weapons, just purchase them for my own enjoyment. And I found a sweet AOW shotty with a 6" barrel that I just have to have. So, how do I go about getting the ok to purchase it? Also, can I carry it with my concealed weapons permit?

First there are 7 different kinds of a FFL- a dealer is ONE of them- HOWEVER- No, you do not need to have a Federal Firearms License to PURCHASE a Class III firearm. Matter of fact, you can't GET on 01 FFL unless you can show you intend to ENGAGE IN THE BUSINESS of buying and selling guns. Can you carry it? Depends on your state law- the AOW you describe is a handgun. Check w/ your state licensing agency. You buy one like any other gun, EXCEPT- you must have it transferred to you by a dealer that has a FFL, with a Class III endorsement- not all dealers do. You will need to apply to the BATFE for approval of the transfer. You wil need to submit a fingerprint card, and approval from your local chief law enforcement officer, along with payment of the transfer tax ($200 for a full auto, SBS, suppressor, etc- $5 for an AOW) . Bottom line- find a Class III dealer in your home state, and he will guide you. Oh- and be prepared to wait.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

A Newbie In X; Creating X.Org Documentation
Published on 16 September 2010 09:24 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
Matt Dew, a self-proclaimed "X newbie", just finished talking about his experiences as just entering the world of X.Org development and hopes to contribute to the X.Org world by gathering up and improving X.Org documentation.
As most know who have ever investigated X.Org, traditionally the documentation covering the software stack has been rather fragmented or even nonexistent in many places. This lack of reliable X.Org documentation can lead to a steep learning curve for new developers and can be a deterrent when coupled with the fact X.Org is complicated, but Matt hopes to work towards addressing this longstanding problem by rounding up the existing documentation from various sources and then eventually to write documentation for the missing pieces (particularly the newer areas, but also for areas like libdrm).
As part of this clean-up process, Matt hopes to move all X.Org documentation into one format (right now there's around five different document formats used by X components), clean-up this documentation, and then create a table of contents / index, creating a CSS style, cross-linking, and other items. The initial documentation conversion should be complete by the end of September while more of the work he hopes to have completed by January.
By summer of 2012, Matt Dew hopes to have X.Org documented to a state that it's considered "good", or even possibly "great."
The audio recordings are still going on, although the quality of some of the talks may vary as the audio line feed from the theater's audio system seems to have died.

Steve Jones on Extinction
What I wanted to talk about is somewhat of a parallel of that in human populations. If you were to go to a textbook on human biology from the time of Darwin or a bit later, you would certainly get an image that looked a bit like this. This is an image of the so-called races of humankind—racial types, as they called them. I'm not going to go into the question of whether there are real races of humankind because there aren't. It's interesting to note that until quite recently people assumed, and scientists assumed too, that the human species was divided into distinct groups that were biologically different from each other and had been isolated from each other for a long, long time.
Well, to some extent that was true. Until quite recently, human populations were isolated from each other. That's changing quite quickly. ...
Edgies on Extinction
"EDGIES ON EXTINCTION": 10 Minute talks by Helena Cronin, Jennifer Jacquet, Steve Jones, and Chiara Marletto, and an EDGE discussion joined by Molly Crockett, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and John Brockman.
HANS ULRICH OBRIST: When we spoke with John Brockman about the Extinction Marathon he suggested, as a second part—as I mentioned in previous marathons we got the Edge community to realize maps and different formulas, and John thought today it would be wonderful to do a panel with UK based scientists who are part of the Edge community. We are extremely delighted that we now will have four presentations by Helena Cronin, by Chiara Marletto, by Jennifer Jacquet, and by Steve Jones. We welcome Steve Jones back to the Serpentine because he was part of the 2007 Experiment Marathon with Olafur Eliasson. The entire panel will be introduced by Molly Crockett. Molly is an associate professor for experimental psychology and fellow of Jesus college at the University of Oxford. She holds a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Cambridge and a B.S. in neuroscience from UCLA. Dr. Crockett studies the neuroscience and psychology of altruism, of morality, and self-control. Her work has been published in many top academic journals including Science, PNAS, and also Neuron. Molly Crockett will now introduce Helena, Chiara, Jennifer, and Steve. We then, together with Molly and all the speakers and John, give a panel after that.
Helena Cronin on Extinction
... A strange thing happened on the way to a better world in pursuit of an admirable quest, that is, a world free of sex discrimination where you're judged on your own qualities and not your sex. Truth and falsity went topsy-turvy. The truth—the silence of sex differences—became dangerous, unmentionable, and in its place the conventional wisdom, which is a ragbag of ideas that have long been extinct but are kept ghoulishly alive by popularity, became the entrenched orthodoxy influencing public thinking, agendas and policy-making, and completely crowding out science and sense.
My aim is to show you why the current orthodoxy should be abandoned and why, if you really care about a fairer world, the science does matter. It matters profoundly. I'm going to take two examples, both about the professions, because they very well epitomize the orthodox litany: how society systematically discriminates against women, and how at work they are victims of pervasive sexism.

Favorite Class?
I'm got 3 at the moment.
A lvl 30 Infiltrator (Paragon)
A lvl 30 Adept (Renegade/Nuetral)
A lvl 3-5 Vanguard (Undecided)
So far, the Adept has been alot of fun. Plus it's my customized female version, so I'm more partial to her due to her uniqueness. Not to mention, the female seems to do a better job voice over wise in the renegade department.
what about you all?
Re: Favorite Class?
im still experimenting with the classes. the soldier was ok, i have a lvl 27. but the powers are garbage. i got a lvl 8 vangaurd that im really enjoying so far.
Re: Favorite Class?
So far I haven't been able to tolerate anything that's not Soldier. I just started trying to play as an Infiltrator and it's more like a chore than anything else. I'm also playing as the male character for the first time (6th playthrough) and I don't like him at all. I'm only doing it so I know what happens if you stay loyal to Ashley even don't I don't like her either (I also never played ME1).
Playing as anything other than Soldier deprives me of the assault rifle, which really sucks. The SMG is no where near as good. I hope hoping that the game would allow the Infiltrator to carry extra rounds for the pistol and the sniper rifle, but I was very sadly mistaken. I can't wait to playthrough again as another Soldier.
Re: Favorite Class?
I played as Soldier and Adept in ME 1. In ME 2 I've played as Soldier, Adept and Infiltrator. Of the 3 classes I've played, I have to say I enjoyed the Adept class the most.
In fantasy RPGs I've always been fond of playing as a Mage. Preferably one with elemental spells. Adept is fairly close in play style as a mage. I loved setting things on fire in Mass Effect 2
Re: Favorite Class?
Playing as Insane difficulty by importing from previous ME2 save game and Level 30, it's so hard as Soldier or Sentinel class. Which class is the best for Insane and Level 30+?
Re: Favorite Class?
Re: Favorite Class?
I enjoy playing as most classes, but I'd say the Adept is my favourite. I love using biotics to hit enemies behind cover
At the moment, I'm doing my first Insanity run using a Soldier. I'm finding Adrenaline Rush incredibly useful at this point. I've never tried a Vanguard, but after watching the new combat footage for ME3, I have plans to use that class in my next playthrough.

|British Columbia New Democratic Party
Michael Franklin Harcourt (born January 6, 1943) served as the 30th Premier of the province of British Columbia in Canada from 1991 to 1996, and before that as the 34th mayor of BC's largest city, Vancouver from 1980 to 1986.
Harcourt was student council president at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School and studied at the University of British Columbia, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws. Harcourt served as a Vancouver alderman from 1973 to 1980, and as Mayor of Vancouver from 1980 to 1986. As mayor, his term in office was dominated by planning for Expo 86, an event that saw many new developments come to the city.
He was first elected to the British Columbia Legislature in the 1986 British Columbia provincial election. He became the leader of the British Columbia New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Leader of the Official Opposition in the following year. He was considered to be a moderate within the ranks of his social democratic party.
In the 1991 provincial election, Harcourt led the NDP back to power, defeating the Social Credit party led by Rita Johnston. This marked the second time that the NDP had ever been in power in BC, and the first since 1975.
Harcourt resigned as premier in February 1996 as the result of "Bingogate", a scandal in which an NDP member, former B.C. MLA and MP, David Stupich, used money raised by a charity bingo to fund the Party. While Harcourt had nothing to do with the scandal, he took political responsibility for it. He was succeeded as Premier of B.C. by Glen Clark, who also ended up resigning as the result of another scandal.[1]
After serving as premier, Harcourt became associated with the University of British Columbia (UBC). He was involved in research relating to sustainable development and cities.
He was severely injured in a near-fatal fall at his cottage[2][3] on Pender Island in November 2002, which resulted in a severe spinal-cord injury. The former Premier received a widespread outpouring of sympathy and support from his fellow British Columbians and his rapid recovery astonished doctors. He spent several months at the world-renowned facility GF Strong. He later published a book about his ordeal, called Plan B.
He was named as a special advisor to Prime Minister Paul Martin on cities on December 12, 2003.
His latest book, City Making in Paradise, was released in August 2007.
In November 2007, he received an honorary doctoral degree in Law (LL.D) from UBC. In February 2009 he was appointed associate director of the new UBC Continuing Studies Centre for Sustainability, where he will contribute to the development of educational programs that emphasize practical knowledge in tackling climate change and other sustainability issues.[4]
In the January 31st, 2014 issue of "High Country News",[5] Harcourt stated he was recruited in the 1960s by an activist group to oppose a freeway that would have connected the Trans-Canada Highway to downtown Vancouver. 'You've been hired to stop the freeway,' he recalled in the article. As a result, the proposed east-west freeway was not completed. This expressway would have provided entry into the city in less than five minutes instead of the 30 minute (or longer) trip it has become today along residential streets. As a result of this cancelled freeway and others associated with it; commuters coming into Vancouver suffer from lengthy delays on a daily basis as they try to navigate clogged city streets that were never meant to carry the freeway-volume traffic that now uses them.[6] Because these highways were never built, Vancouver is now the most congested city in North America... worse than Toronto, worse than New York and worse than Los Angeles.[7] The cancellation of these freeways has decreased mobility, increased pollution and added additional cost to goods movement across the region.
Harcourt revealed in April 2014 that he had allowed his NDP membership to lapse and now considers himself an independent. "I don't know whether it's a trial separation or a decree absolute," he told the Globe and Mail in an interview. Harcourt cited several complaints against his former party including former leader Adrian Dix's decision to oppose the Kinder-Morgan pipeline and the party's general disposition against mining, logging and other resource-extraction industries, the party's 2009 opposition to the BC Liberal government's proposed carbon tax, and the 2010 caucus revolt that forced the resignation of then-leader Carole James.[8]
Harcourt had repeatedly supported the legalization of cannabis and in May 2014 announced that he would be an advisor to True Leaf Medicine Inc., a Vernon-based start-up company seeking Health Canada approval to produce and sell medicinal marijuana.[9]

3 Key Insights to 2012 Holiday Shopping Behavior
Image from: Holiday Presents / Shutterstock The leaves have not fallen from the trees yet but a decent amount of people have already started checking things off their Christmas list. According to Compete's Holiday Insights™ survey, slightly more than 40% of respondents have already begun buying presents, with 6% already completing more than half of their shopping for this Holiday season. When compared to the same time last year
3 Tips for Tracking Fall Fashion Consumer Trends
Image from: Fall Fashion / Shutterstock I think it's safe to say that of the many reasons people love the advent of autumn, one of the top qualifies is the shift in fashion warranted by the shift in weather. The sweaters that were paltry and muggy in the summer become mobile havens in the fall. People begin to layer (and layer and layer). This means more clothing, it means more
eBay: The Start of a Retail Feedification?
Image from: Ebay Feed / eBay.com eBay made news this week with the announcement that the online powerhouse will launch Feed, a Pinterest like experience. Feed will be available on eBay's site and allow users to scroll through products available for sale on the site. Earlier this year, we reported on the impact that Pinterest is having on how consumers engage with products and retailers online. Pinterest's growth in popularity
The Compete Weekly Pulse
The big news this week (for me at least) is that Myspace is back! Again! Except this time it's totally for real. Just check out their new promotional video, Justin Timberlake included! Myspace, which for a while now has been a vestigial network of its former glory, might just be making an incredible comeback with its new focus (music) and new layout (horizontal Pinterest). Speaking of up and comings, have
Viral Marketing: Ain't Nothing Old About Old Spice
Image from: Muscle Music Player / Oldspice.com It's a paradox: Old Spice has been absolutely dominating viral media with its riotous commercials, yet their traffic is trending downward. If a brand is excelling in social yet suffering in unique visits, is this necessarily a case of cause and effect? Or is this just an example of leveraging a different platform to generate massive brand awareness? What Old Spice has done
Apparel Goes Mainstream Online
Image from: Women's Apparel / Saks.com Brands and retailers planning for the upcoming holiday season should take note of one category that many thought would never be conducive to ecommerce: apparel. The forgone conclusion was the consumer would want to try on clothes or touch/feel the material before making a purchase. Those days are behind us. 82M consumers shopped for apparel online this spring at an online retailer. To put
Lucky Getting Lucky: Filling the Void for Compulsive Shoppers
Image from: Fill The Void / AdAge For Lucky Magazine, could there be a better way to kick off their first ad campaign in 12 years than by preying on the compulsive consumption habits of consumers? Probably not. "FILL THE VOID" spout the ads, in a stark, monochromatic command. It's a bit clinical, but it's also a bit comforting. At least we're all being honest about shopping, right? The mantra
Laptop Shopping: Where Do Consumers Look First?
Image from: Technology Shopper / Shutterstock College means a lot of things; it means leaving home, it means growing up, it means adjusting your body to only consuming pop-tarts and whatever is microwaveable. For many families it also means investing in a new laptop, and for vendors it means knowing when to start your back-to-school gadget campaigns. Here are a few insights to help either party make the most of
How Shopcade.com Is Drafting You Into Its Fashionable Army
Image from: Shopping Craze / Shutterstock "I love your shirt! Where did you get it?" Sounds familiar, right? It's a natural tendency to associate style with a place of purchase, and slowly online retailers are learning that perhaps their best advertisers are the very same people they sell to. Shopcade.com knows this, and it's about to make a killing by gamifying this trend, all based on the online phenomenon of
Is E-Commerce Too Big an Investment for Mass Retailers?
Image from: Nordstrom Anniversary Logo / Nordsrom.com Nordstrom is currently in the middle of their annual anniversary sale running July 20th through August 6th. No stranger to the sale store front, they promote five big sales a year. With a big push financially to drive their online sales this year, I decided to see if their e-commerce efforts have paid off so far in terms of driving traffic to the
Would you bet Your Bottom Dollar on JC Penney or Kohl's this Quarter? Traffic Might Indicate No…
Image from: Breaking Copy Despite cutting prices this spring to counteract the decline in first quarter profits, Kohl's online traffic may suggest another lull in profits this quarter. The announcement a couple weeks ago about JC Penney President, Michael Francis, suddenly leaving the retailer may also be a sign of a poor quarter for JC Penney. All this buzz piqued my interest, and I decided to look at Compete.com to

What am I doing now? I'm still holding General Electric. Would I add to my position at this price? I don't own as much GE as I'd like, but I'll wait to add to my position a bit. If I didn't have any GE in my portfolio at all, YOU BET I'd have to add to my position.
I think GE gets it. They get that they can make money by making products that will solve some of the planet's problems. They have behaved very badly in the past (I'm talking about you GE Plastics and the Turbine Coolant PCBs) but going forward they are looking a little better. Beside, I'd love to own shares just so I can vote at the shareholder meeting.
And that stock buyback they announced today? Here's a link to a list of recently announced buybacks at TheStreet.com. You might also notice Neubert Top Ten Position Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) ($56.93) is on that list too.
Disclosures: I own GE. I may buy more GE. I am also short Jan 2008, 37.50 Puts on GE. I own AMGN and am at my full position. I'm holding onto AMGN too.
I took this photo of the GE lightbulb package. Yes, it's the non-efficient kind. I'm embarrassed, but I think it's been in my closet for a while. I've been pretty good about getting the efficient bulbs. I don't like paying Con Edison for all that expensive electricity.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to do business and make important decisions. The moon is in Virgo.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
This is a productive day so start your To Do list right now. You can make improvements at home and to your family dynamic. You can make improvements to your health and you can make improvements to your job. You wanted more? (Yeah, yeah a little coin is always nice.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Enjoy this day. (Do get out of bed.) Sports events, the arts, theatre, playful times with children, social diversions plus romantic escapades are all tops on your menu. Wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks. Go out and strut your stuff.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
This is the perfect day to make improvements at home, and perhaps even improvements to your family relationships. You'll enjoy entertaining at home and you might even want to shop for little goodies that make your home look more attractive. A pleasant day and a fun day to entertain.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Get out and shmooze today. Enjoy interactions with neighbours, siblings and daily contacts. This is a good day to sell, write, promote and talk to everyone because you see ways to make improvements in your daily environment. (Plus you feel social so you want to enlighten others.)
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Keep your eyes open for ways to make money because it's possible. (It could involve something secret or behind the scenes.) You might also see new applications and uses for something you already own. (I always see new uses for money; it's the "owning" part that is tougher.)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a great day to entertain and enjoy the company of friends. You will especially want to be with people you love and care for because it will be an easy give-and-take. Romance can be sweet. This is a good date night (especially if someone else pays).
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
While others are running around being busy on this pleasant Saturday, you might enjoy hiding at home. You feel a need to cocoon or seek some solitude, preferably with good room service. Flirtations or romance with an authority figure (your boss?) might begin to spark.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Enjoy shmoozing with others, especially in group settings. You might want to confide your hopes and dreams for the future in someone, perhaps a female, because their feedback could be helpful. You might also make travel plans, again with a female.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Something might happen that lets others get a better idea of your earnings or your financial assets. Ironically, many people think Sagittarians are rich (whether they are or not). It's because you have a style that suggests affluence. "Drinks on me!"
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Do something different. Go someplace you've never been before. You will especially enjoy ethnic restaurants, museums and different out-of-the-way places. Romance with someone from a different background might start to kindle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This might be a good day to ask for a loan or mortgage or the assistance of someone. Or you might want to just borrow something that someone else owns. That's because you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others today -- it's minor but it's there.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a marvellous, playful day. Make sure that whatever you do you have fun. Go out with friends or pick your favourite pal and enjoy lunch, a picnic, coffee klatch, dinner, a movie, a fun party -- whatever. Sports, the arts and playful times with children will delight.
Actor Neil Patrick Harris (1973) shares your birthday. You have a charming personality. You like to socialize and you like the approval of others. Nevertheless, your strong persuasive skills know how to work a room. You can be an excellent parent. Something you've been involved with for the last nine years will end or diminish this year to make room for something new to enter your world.

Convicted killer Ninderjit Singh apologized in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday for executing his teenage girlfriend near her Vancouver high school back in 1999.
But Singh didn't even turn to address Poonam Randhawa's parents and dozens of relatives as he pleaded with Justice Bruce Butler to "please give me a chance."
"I feel sorry for Poonam Randhawa's family for what I have done," Singh said after Butler asked him if he wanted to say anything. "I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart."
Butler reserved his ruling until April 10 on the minimum amount of prison time Singh will have to serve before being eligible for parole.
See photos of Ninderjit Singh's arrest in California here
The former Vancouver resident, who fled to California after killing Randhawa on Jan. 26, 1999, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on March 11 just as his trial was set to begin.
His conviction carries a life sentence with a minimum 10 years before parole eligibility.
But Crown prosecutor Sandra Cunningham asked Butler to keep Singh behind bars for between 17 and 20 years before allowing him to apply for parole.
She said Singh's murder was pre-planned and unprovoked and that he hid out in California for 12 and a half years with the help of his family.
Singh's lawyer Russ Chamberlain argued Thursday that the 10-year minimum is appropriate because Singh, now 35, has no prior criminal record and had an unstable upbringing. The lawyer noted Singh's father died before he was born.
Chamberlain said Singh's crime was impulsive and came from his immaturity and jealousy.
"It was not born out of a malicious desire to kill another human being," he said. "It wasn't a cruel hunting down of this woman to kill her in my submission."
And the veteran defence lawyer said Singh will be deported to India as soon as he is out of prison because he is not a Canadian; nor will be be able to return to the U.S.
See photos of Ninderjit Singh's arrest in California here
Chamberlain then read a letter from Singh's wife Navdeep, whom he married in California where he was living under a false name.
"I know he is a hard worker and loving father," the letter said. "We all make mistakes and we all hope for a chance to right them."
She said their two young daughters miss their dad, who has been in jail since he was arrested in a police sting in August 2011.
"I know they have done nothing wrong. They are my little angels, so why punish them?"
Navdeep, who was in court with a number of Singh's relatives, declined to comment to reporters, though she said she would after the sentencing.
On Wednesday, the Crown read from disturbing transcripts of phone calls Singh made from prison to Navdeep in which he swore at her, degraded her and threatened her with beatings.
Outside court Thursday, Randhawa's cousin Harry rejected both Singh's apology and Chamberlain's assertion that his client didn't premeditate the execution-style shooting.
"When it comes to the apology, we don't feel that that was a sincere apology at all. He was playing to the court," Harry Randhawa said. "We've waited 14 years. Our lives have been devastated and put on hold. To hear that his defence is looking for 10 years and then he's going to get deported and sent away to India where he can re-establish himself and have a nice life, well that's great....that's not justice."

Letter: True to form
Jim Ripley, Estero
True to form
Considering Vice President Joe Biden's reputation as a windbag, he was in perfect form in the debate with Paul Ryan.
Looks like Biden thought he would grin his way through the debate.
Biden's performance was more like a sarcastic toothpaste commercial coupled with the standard Democratic Party line of more taxes and class warfare.
