Tactical Ripstop Pant - Dickies Dickies Tactical Ripstop pant, engineered to work as hard as the officers who...
Safariland, a BAE Systems company, today inducted Officer Kyle Russel into its "Legion of Life" program that recognizes and honors officers who have been saved in the line of duty while wearing one of the company's life saving products. Russel was wearing Safariland body armor when he was shot in the chest during a routine traffic stop outside of Washington, D.C. on September 23, 2008.
During the incident, Russel and his partner pursued a speeding car that was swerving wildly and forcing other vehicles off the road. Eventually, Officer Russel and his partner caused the driver to pull over on the shoulder of Highway 395 outside Washington, D.C. Officer Russel approached the vehicle thinking the driver was either highly intoxicated or having a seizure.
When he looked into the vehicle, Russel found the driver with blood on his face and nauseated. After being asked if he was okay, the driver grabbed a .45 caliber pistol that was hidden under his leg and shot Russel in the chest. After being struck by the round, Officer Russel was able to take cover behind a guardrail before the driver sped away. He then reported to his dispatcher that he had been shot, indicating, "I'm okay. I think the vest got it."
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this vest saved my life that night," said Russel. "I can't tell you how grateful I am to the people at Safariland. They are the reason I am standing here today."
Since its inception in 1972, Safariland's Saves Program, "Legion of Life," has honored more than 1,800 officers saved while serving their communities. In addition to inducting them into an elite group of officers, the "Legion of Life" program educates and encourages officers to properly employ their safety equipment.
"We are honored to be working with the Alexandria Police Department and we are extremely happy we are able to recognize Officer Russel today as Save number 1835," said Ed Hinchey, Safariland's "Legion of Life" liaison and himself a "Legion of Life" member. "Nothing reflects the spirit of Safariland and its people more effectively and directly than the 'Legion of Life'. Every product bearing the Safariland name, whether it's body armor or an Automatic Locking System holster, is geared towards one important goal – saving lives."

evanhealy's balancing and protective Blue Chamomile is a daily moisturizing skin treatment that calms and soothes sensitive, allergic, sunburned and/or inflamed skin. Their handmade Day Cream features gentle essential oils of blue chamomile, carrot seed, organic lavender, and the antioxidant plant allies of artisan-distilled yarrow flower and leaf, elderberry flower extract, green tea and calendula. Organic plant and seed oils of argan, sunflower and jojoba combine to deeply moisturize, soften, create suppleness and protect skin without feeling heavy, sticky or waxy.
Blue Treatment line helps reduce inflammation and restore normal function to sensitive skin conditions, especially the sensitivity that accompanies rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. Featuring tranquil and calming essential oils of blue chamomile, lavender and immortelle.
evanhealy is an artisan-quality skin care treatment line created by aesthetician Evan Healy. Her holistic approach draws from traditional plant lore, aromatherapy, ayurveda, and homeopathy. Through her experience with holistic therapies Evan has observed the connection between plants and skin. Rather than treating areas of imbalance such as an overly oily condition, the more holistic, successful and long-term solution is to support the totality of skin functions using simple plant-based formulations and non-invasive treatment methods. This approach encourages the skin, with its innate ability to regulate itself, to breathe.

Title: | Feeding, Reproduction, and Sense Organs of the Hawaiian Anchialine Shrimp Halocaridina rubra (Atyidae) |
Author: | Bailey-Brock, Julie H; Brock, Richard E |
Date: | 1993-10 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii Press |
Citation: | Bailey-Brock JH, Brock RE. 1993. Feeding, reproduction, and sense organs of the Hawaiian anchialine shrimp Halocaridina rubra (Atyidae). Pac Sci 47(4): 338-355. |
Abstract: | The Hawaiian endemic shrimp Halocaridina ruhra Holthuis currently
inhabits anchialine pools on Maui, Kaho'olawe, O'ahu, Moloka'i, and Hawai'i islands. Information is presented on the feeding, reproductive, and sensory biology of these shrimp. Feeding cheliped setae are of two types, serrated setae that scrape the substrate surface and filamentous setae that collect the loosened food materials or act as filters. The shrimp are primarily microphagous grazers that scrape the surface of the algal-cyanobacterial crust on pool substrates. This grazing activity is essential in maintaining the integrity of the crust, an actively growing matrix of plants, bacteria, diatoms, protozoans, and underlying siliceous and carbonate materials. Filter feeding is only observed in pools with dense phytoplankton blooms. The first and second pleopods of male and female shrimp are illustrated, and reproduction in captive populations from Hawai'i and O'ahu locations is described. Sense organs examined include the eye, aesthetasc hairs, campaniform sensilla, ringed setae, and abdominal pits with flared setae. The anchialine shrimp H. ruhra appears to be a generalist, feeds as a microphagous grazer or filter feeder, is well adapted to the epigeal-hypogeal habitat in the pools, reproduces in the subterranean portion of the habitat, and is equipped with sensory structures that detect motion and chemical changes in the environment. Survival of this endemic species is dependent upon the continued integrity of its habitat, which is unique and sparsely represented on five of the eight high Hawaiian Islands. |

History and background of Jean Patou
Jean Patou was born in Normandy, France, in 1880. Patou's father was a leading tanner (leather maker) and his uncle owned a fur business which Patou joined in 1907.
In 1912 Patou opened Maison Parry, a small dressmaking salon in Paris, and sold his entire 1914 collection to one American buyer.
His career was then interrupted by the war, which he spent as an army captain.
In 1919, he reopened his salon, this time under his own name. His collections were successful from the start. He showed bell-skirted, high-waisted shepherdess-style dresses, many embroidered in the Russian style. He designed for actresses such as Constance Bennett, Mary Pickford and Louise Brooks, but his finest achievements were in the field of sports wear, which always occupied an important position in his collections.
In the early 20's, his inspired work in the sportswear field gave fashion another dimension. He dressed tennis star Suzanne Lenglen in styles that she wore both on and off the tennis court.
Other clients included the Dolly Sisters, who took 200 changes of garments on their tour of the USA, in the mid 20's, all made by Patou.
Patou began the pleasant custom of a preview of his collection before the press. He was also known for his sweaters with Cubist designs. He was very much influenced by Art Deco and Cubism, creating sharp geometric shapes and patterns in his fabrics.
Jean Patou invented the first designer label, with his pockets outlined with a "J" and "P".
Like Poiret, Jean Patou was a brilliant public relations man. On a visit to the USA in 1925, he was impressed by the long legged American girls. He auditioned 500 girls and chose 6 to accompany him back to Paris. This caused an uproar in the French press.
1925 was a most active year for Jean Patou. He opened Sports Corner where separate rooms were devoted to clothes for a different sporting activity, like golf or fishing, with clothes co-ordinated with accessories, scarves, lingerie, jewelry, hats, etc.
He was also famous for his bathing suits.
Also in 1925 he introduced his first perfumes Amour-Amour, for brunettes, Que Sais-je for blondes, and Adieu Sagesse for redheads. In 1929, he added Le Sien, a sports fragrance, and in 1931 his most famous Joy, still one of the great perfumes of the world. He later launched "1000" , Sublime and Eau de Patou. His perfume JOY is always advertised as "The most costly perfume in the world".
Patou opened branches in Monte Carlo, Biarritz, Deauville and Venice to cater to international society.
In 1928, Jean Patou created "Huile de Caldee, the first sun lotion.
Jean Patou was fortunate in having many friends and family members who worked with him and kept him in touch with Parisienne life. Foremost was his sister Madeleine, who was 7 years younger than he. She was his source of inspiration, his ideal, a small, neat, dark, chic, active modern woman.
Until his death, Patou was a giant of the fashion world, dominating both couture and ready-to-wear. Patou met an early death in 1936, at the age of 56.
His sister's husband George Barbas took over the house. Jean Patou's great-nephews Guy and Jean de Mouy now run the company. The family has continued to manage the house, with a range of designers who have gone on to fame themselves.
In 1967 Jean Kerleo, the legendary perfumer, joined the house and since then has created all the great perfumes for which Jean Patou is famed. They are expensive because they are made with authentic Patou extravagance, out of the most precious natural ingredients. "Joy" is advertised as the most expensive perfume in the world.
The house is still offering collections of beautiful gowns to the clientele of Paris.

Shepherd Neame is Britain's oldest brewer - and while 1698 is the Brewery's official founding date, there is clear evidence that its heritage pre-dates even this period. This timeline details the significant events in the Company's history, from the first brewers in Faversham to the arrival of the Shepherd family and the Neames, right up to its current status as a successful, award-winning business.
Interested in learning more? Ask the archivist
The discovery in 1970 of the Graveney boat – an Anglo-Saxon boat built circa 900AD – revealed the earliest evidence of hops in the UK. However, Faversham's first known link with brewing follows the founding of the town's abbey in 1147 by King Stephen. Within the site was a brewhouse, which produced ale for the monks.
The abbey was approximately one-third of a mile north of Shepherd Neame's present site with the brewhouse close to the north-east end of Abbey Street above a well, containing natural, chalk-filtered water.
By 1327, brewing in Faversham was conducted by at least 86 women, known as ale wives. Most of them sold their beer from their homes, but some were innkeepers.

Find out more about the Graveney Boat here.
Records show that in 1525, William Castlock, the brother of the last abbot of Faversham, was exporting and importing beer.
It was an association with beer that the Castlocks maintained and by 1550 John Castlock, his son, was leasing the abbey brewhouse.
By 1570, he was the owner of 18 Court Street, where brewing has continued ever since. John Castlock's son died in 1614 and, in 1648, his grandson was barred from brewing in the town by the Parliamentarian Faversham Corporation, which may explain why in 1653 the brewery passed to Thomas Hilton.
It was in 1678 that an important figure entered the brewery's story when Richard Marsh leased it from Hilton's executors.
Marsh, in his capacity as mayor, held King James II as a prisoner after he ran aground off Faversham while attempting to flee to France to avoid William of Orange and his threatening Dutch army during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The monarch was confined at the brewery.
In 1698 Marsh bought the brewery from the executors of Thomas Hilton, thereby signalling the official start of the brewery's history.
He died in 1726 and the brewery passed to his second son, also called Richard, who died only a year later. His widow, Mary, married a Mr Hilles Hobday, who died in 1731. By this time the brewery owned two Faversham pubs, The Castle and The Three Tuns. The latter is still part of the brewery's pub estate.
Samuel Shepherd married Mary in 1732 and promptly took over the running of the brewery, introducing an era of growth. Shepherd led an important development for the brewery which was the acquisition of 21 pubs, five of which remain with Shepherd Neame.
In 1755 Samuel retired to his Great Mongeham farm, near Deal, leaving the business in the hands of his sons, John and Julius.
In 1777 John withdrew from the business leaving Julius as the sole owner. He in turn took two of his sons, Samuel and Henry, into the partnership.
Julius demonstrated the same entrepreneurial flair of his father when he bought the brewery's first Sun and Planet steam engine in 1789, the work of Birmingham engineers and steam engine pioneers Boulton & Watt.
Julius was succeeded by his son Henry in 1819. After 25 years with one man at the helm the brewery came under new leadership when Henry retired. It passed initially to Henry Jr and his son-in-law, Charles Jones Hilton, but Hilton withdrew only four years later and Henry Jr took on John Henry Mares as his partner.
In October 1864 Percy Beale Neame, a 28-year-old hop farmer and brother-in-law of John Mares, joined the firm as a partner, only two months before Mares' death. Shepherd Neame & Company was born.
In 1864 an important phase of development got under way with the building of a new brewhouse and stores and 10 years later the pubs estate had grown to nearly 100.
Henry Jr died in 1875, leaving Percy Neame the sole proprietor. He was joined by his sons, Harry, Arthur and Alick about 20 years later.
Percy Beale Neame died in 1913, after 49 years at the brewery and a year later, Shepherd Neame became a limited company, with all of Percy's children as the shareholders.
Tragedy struck the family when, in 1916, Arthur died of pneumonia in March of that year, to be followed by Alick only three months later. Harry became the sole managing director.
The Second World War saw the brewery depleted of staff due to military service. Seventy-five were away by 1940, though production continued as beer was not rationed and indeed, was regarded as a morale-boosting essential.
Shepherd Neame was now largely managed by Harry's sons, Jasper and Laurie.
Harry died in 1947 and nine years later, Jasper's eldest son Robert, known as Bobby, joined the company.
In 1958 Shepherd Neame produced one of its most distinctive beers, Bishop's Finger. The strong, typically Kentish ale was named, according to folklore, after a signpost that pointed the way to Thomas Becket's tomb.
Upon Jasper's death in 1961, aged 56, Laurie became the sole MD.
In 1968 Shepherd Neame demonstrated the innovation for which it has become renowned when it became the first regional brewer of lager in the UK when it started brewing Hürlimann, eventually coming to own the popular brand.
Laurie died in 1970 and Bobby became chairman, a position he held for 35 years. By the end of the decade the brewery had acquired 65 pubs in total and Bobby reported an eight-fold increase in profits.
In 1990 Shepherd Neame produced Spitfire to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Much like its aerial namesake, Spitfire took off thanks, in part, to its cheeky Dads Army-style humour.
In 1991 Bobby's son Jonathan Neame joined the company. He was appointed managing director in 1999.
Jonathan Neame was appointed chief executive in 2003 and Miles Templeman became chairman in 2005.
In 2004 the company undertook a major upgrade with the installation of a new keg plant and the opening of a new distribution centre. It followed that with a new cask packaging operation in 2007 and bottling line in 2009 respectively.
Bobby Neame stepped down as chairman in 2005 and retired from the board a year later. He is now Shepherd Neame's first Company President and has worked at the brewery for more than 50 years.
In 2006 Shepherd Neame received the Queen's Award for Sustainable Development and was named the Best UK Family Business in the £25m plus turnover category of the Coutts Prize for Family Business 2009/10. Its estate comprises more than 350 pubs.
Shepherd Neame is renowned for its distinctive beers, with names like Spitfire, Bishop's Finger and Asahi among its most popular brands.

PMID: 7929547 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid arteries are extremely rare. A case is reported of an external carotid artery aneurysm that developed in a patient with infective endocarditis. We review 15 previously reported cases of mycotic aneurysms of the cervical carotid arteries, one of which occurred in a patient with infective endocarditis. None of them occurred in the external carotid artery. Most cases were due to local trauma, a contiguous focus of infection or bacteremia. Surgical resection and appropriate antibiotic treatment lead to cure in most cases. |

Stop Animal
Exploitation NOW! Media Coverage
University primate research funding comes under scrutiny by Beth Mueller A national watchdog group that opposes animal research accused the
Wisconsin Primate Research Center of "wasting tens of millions in
federal tax grants" Tuesday. Federal funding related to the WPRC has more than doubled in the last
eight years, according to Stop Animal Exploitation Now, while the number
of animals has increased by only 24 percent. "If the funding has increased that much and the number of primates
has not increased in any amount that correlates, then you have to wonder
where the money is going," said Michael Budkie, executive director of
SAEN. Eric Sandgren, director of Animal Care and Use at the University of
Wisconsin, said there are two main reasons the increase in funding
doesn't directly correlate to more animals. "There's been a dramatic increase in the expenditures for protective
equipment, which protects both the animals from disease from humans, and
humans from the potential of getting any disease from the animals,"
Sandgren said. "When we learn about these things, we address them, and
that costs more money." Funding has also been increasingly used for enrichment, including a
new program with its own coordinator, according to Sandgren. This
enrichment of animal living conditions includes things like puzzle
feeders and other more interesting elements in animal environments, he
added. "Yes, we believe the research is justified, but we are committed to
making the lives of these animals more interesting," Sandgren said. SAEN said much of UW's primate research was in "highly duplicated"
areas including neural information processing and the Simeon
Immunodeficiency Virus. Budkie said SIV can affect humans, but Rhesus monkeys cannot be
infected with HIV, so studying AIDS in Rhesus monkeys is "nonsensical."
"The reason that they do SIV research in monkeys is because they
can't study HIV — the real AIDS virus — in monkeys," Budkie said. "A lot
of federal funding goes to AIDS, and they're just trying to get their
cut of it." Thomas Friedrich, an assistant researcher in the UW AIDS Vaccine
Research Laboratory, said the accusations of research being duplicated
were often inaccurate. "Unless they can offer examples of exactly how it's duplicated,
they're making an accusation without real evidence," Friedrich said,
adding the National Institutes of Health, which funds the primate
center, mandates a certain amount of research at each primate center
focused on HIV. Friedrich added one of the criteria for receiving NIH funding is that
the research be innovative, and therefore not duplicated or copied. "It's a serious fault that they find with your research if they find
that it's lacking in innovation," he said. Friedrich also defended the use of SIV to study HIV. "The DNA sequences of these viruses are very similar, the cells that
the infection affect are essentially the same, the immune response from
monkeys and people are essentially the same," Friedrich said. "In fact,
the genetic ability of some individuals to control HIV seems to be
reflected in monkeys' ability to control SIV." But Budkie said money for animal research should instead be spent on
clinical research that "could provide information that actually applies
to humans." "The only people that are really benefiting from the animal
experimentation that's going on at the PRCs are the people that are
being paid to do it," Budkie said. However, Friedrich said animal research is vital to directing
clinical research. "One common criticism of animal research is that we should just spend
money on clinical research. But the two really complement each other,"
Friedrich said. "There are so many different ideas about how to make an
AIDS vaccine that we can't possibly test them all in people."

Titanic Musician's Violin Will Go On Display In Belfast
By Jessica Rawden 2 years ago
In 1912, Wallace Hartley was a thriving 33-year-old violinist who was hired on to the Titanic as the lead player in a group of musicians. Just a short time later, he and seven other musicians stayed on board and played music as the ship was going on. Some reports later indicated when Hartleys body was found, his violin was also found strapped to his chest. In 2006 that violin was discovered in an attic, and after seven years of tests, it has been confirmed to be a Titanic artifact. Through the years and years of tests, documents were able to help predict that the violin belonged to Hartley. Additionally, the precious violin was found to be covered in waters stains that were compatible with ocean water and a silver smith ascertained the plates on the violin were compatible to the time period. According to the AP, the violin was passed on to Hartleys fiancée after his death and later exchanged hands several times before being found by the auction house Henry Aldridge & Son, a company which frequently works with items from the Titanic. The violin, however, is a unique find and should be worth a pretty penny, should the auction house choose to sell. Last year marked the 100th Anniversary since the Titanic sank, a year that saw numerous instances of Titanic-oriented television programming, as well as the 3D release of James Camerons famous film, and even a special cruise commemorating the accident. It would have been a pretty sweet marketing move if Hartleys violin could have been confirmed a year ago, but nonetheless, it will find a nice spot to reston display in Belfast very close to the place the Titanic was initially built.

Rubin vase
Rubin's vase (sometimes known as the Rubin face or the figure–ground vase) is a famous set of ambiguous or bi-stable (i.e., reversing) two-dimensional forms developed around 1915 by the Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin. They were first introduced at large in Rubin's two-volume work, the Danish-language Synsoplevede Figurer ("Visual Figures"), which was very well received; Rubin included a number of examples, such as a Maltese cross figure in black and white, but the one that became the most famous was his vase example, perhaps because the Maltese cross could also be easily interpreted as a black and white beachball.
" | One can then state as a fundamental principle: When two fields have a common border, and one is seen as figure and the other as ground, the immediate perceptual experience is characterized by a shaping effect which emerges from the common border of the fields and which operates only on one field or operates more strongly on one than on the other.[1] | " |
The effect[edit]
The visual effect generally presents the viewer with two shape interpretations, each of which is consistent with the retinal image, but only one of which can be maintained at a given moment. This is because the bounding contour will be seen as belonging to the figure shape, which appears interposed against a formless background. If the latter region is interpreted instead as the figure, then the same bounding contour will be seen as belonging to it.
These types of stimuli are both interesting and useful because they provide an excellent and intuitive demonstration of the figure–ground distinction the brain makes during visual perception. Rubin's figure–ground distinction, since it involved higher-level cognitive pattern matching, in which the overall picture determines its mental interpretation, rather than the net effect of the individual pieces, influenced the Gestalt psychologists, who discovered many similar percepts themselves.
Normally the brain classifies images by which object surrounds which – establishing depth and relationships. If one object surrounds another object, the surrounded object is seen as figure, and the presumably further away (and hence background) object is the ground, and vice versa. This makes sense, since if a piece of fruit is lying on the ground, one would want to pay attention to the "figure" and not the "ground". However, when the contours are not so unequal, ambiguity starts to creep into the previously simple inequality, and the brain must begin "shaping" what it sees; it can be shown that this shaping overrides and is at a higher level than feature recognition processes that pull together the face and the vase images – one can think of the lower levels putting together distinct regions of the picture (each region of which makes sense in isolation), but when the brain tries to make sense of it as a whole, contradictions ensue, and patterns must be discarded.
The distinction is exploited by devising an ambiguous picture, whose contours match seamlessly the contours of another picture (sometimes the same picture; a practice M.C. Escher used on occasion). The picture should be "flat" and have little (if any) texture to it. The stereotypical example has a vase in the center, and a face matching its contour (since it is symmetrical, there is a matching face on the other side).

Dutch artist's bid to trademark 'Allah' fails
THE HAGUE (AFP) - A Dutch artist has failed in his bid to trademark the name of Allah in an attempt to push the boundaries of the free market, the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property said on Monday.
"Provisional decision: rejected," said a document on the BOIP's website after contemporary artist Teun Castelein submitted his request to register the Gothic-style black-on-white typographic logo as a brand on Dec 29.
Mr Castelein told AFP that he had not yet been told any details of the decision from the BOIP, which is headquartered in The Hague.
"As an artist, I'm constantly seeking out the limits of the free market," Mr Castelein said, while claiming that "Jesus" and "God" had been accepted as registered trademarks. "I can only conclude that, according to the BIOP, all religions are not equal. I don't agree, all religions must be treated the same," he said.

A new study from the UK says breathing in diesel exhaust emitted from trucks and other vehicles on the road, is associated with a higher risk for heart disease in men.
The study found that when a person is exposed to relatively high levels of diesel exhaust for even a short time, the blood was more likely to clot. That, in turn, could eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.

From MLB.com's Jen Langosch comes word that Cardinals slugger Lance Berkman is on track to return from the DL on Saturday after going 1-for-1 in his final rehab game Thursday at Triple-A Memphis.
Berkman was scheduled to play longer on Thursday night, but there were rainy conditions in southwest Tennessee and the Cards didn't want to take the risk. He's already played in five other rehab games.
Berkman, 36, has posted a .267/.389/.467 batting line with two home runs and seven RBI in 28 major league games this season. He is expected to function as a pinch-hitter down the stretch while Allen Craig continues to serve as St. Louis' primary first baseman.

At least this time he took a rehab assignment.
- stex52 - Aug 31, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Go out with a bang, Lance. I don't know what the odds are, but I'm rooting for you.

I love that game! Real time battle system and character combo attacks and special attacks. Its just fun to play They just didnt put enough fmvs in the game. But it was still fun to play.
Just got this game in yesterday... yeah... I'm always the last with new games... Haven't got the chance to play it yet, cause well... I have a European game cube and it's the American version of the game and my freeloader hasn't arrived yet... but anyway... for those who own the game and already played it... What's it like, your opinions please... What's good or bad about the game... Was the game what you expected or is it a waste of your precious bucks...
I love that game! Real time battle system and character combo attacks and special attacks. Its just fun to play They just didnt put enough fmvs in the game. But it was still fun to play.
They did put in FMV but it's just anime style. The cutsenes are really well done. The only thing I didn't like is the save system and some parts you have voice acting and some you don't O.o
I like the tales series of game. I think though that star ocean 3 did a lot better in that department. Both are good games though.
I bought Tales the day after it came out (because no one had it the first day in stock) and it's a great game. I love the anime sense, and the fighting is quick and enjoyable. Tales is a strange game at first, but the gameplay and story are beautiful in a whole.
much love to socketto...what of this mongrel architect, our broken armor soon will set, past, present, and future tense...
Story is a tad cliche, but the gameplay, cutscenes, and all other RPG element sin it are phenomenal. One of the best battle systems in an RPG ever, second to Star Ocean 3, in my opinion. Very fast paced and challenging. I love the multiplayer.
i just finished the game today and i'm just about ready to play it all over again...heh...it'll be more interesting with the stuff i bought with my grade. this rpg seems to have features from other rpgs. like the cooking is something legend of legaia 2....changing of weapons in the middle of battle is something from ffx i think. actually, the thing i like best about this game is the character development. it's pretty awesome.

Some Hypotheses About Empirical DesertChristopher SloboginVanderbilt University - Law School August 16, 2010 Arizona State Law Journal, Forthcoming Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper No. 10-36 Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 10-26 Abstract: Paul Robinson has written a series of articles advocating the view that empirical desert should govern development of criminal law doctrine. The central contention of empirical desert is that adherence to societal views of "justice" – defined in terms of moral blameworthiness – will not only satisfy retributive urges, but will also often be as efficacious at controlling crime as a system that revolves around other utilitarian purposes of punishment. Constructing criminal laws that implement empirical desert has the latter effect, Robinson argues, because it enhances the moral credibility of the law, thus minimizing citizens' desire to engage in vigilantism and other forms of non-compliance and increasing their willingness to accept controversial government decisions to criminalize or de-criminalize. In keeping with the utilitarian spirit of Robinson's agenda, the main goal of this paper is to propose hypotheses (ten in all) that test possible vulnerabilities of his argument. Robinson's work on empirical desert is provocative, but requires further empirical support.

Video Chess
Video Chess is a video game released by Atari in 1979 for the Atari 2600, based on the rules of chess.[1]
Video Chess was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs on September 8, 2010.
Video Chess was developed by Larry Wagner (AI) and Bob Whitehead. The box art of the first production run of the Atari Video Computer System (or VCS, later known as the Atari 2600) featured a chess piece, even though Atari at the time was not contemplating designing a chess game. A man from Florida supposedly sued Atari over the box art;[2] however, in an interview, Video Chess programmer Bob Whitehead said he was not aware of such a lawsuit.[3]
At first, the idea of chess on the Atari 2600 was considered to be impossible due to the limitations of the technology at the time. For example, Atari had to overcome sprite limitations; the Atari 2600 was only capable of displaying three sprites in a row, or six (such as in Space Invaders) with the right programming. The eight-piece-wide standard chess board exceeded this limitation. To rectify this, Bob Whitehead developed a technique known as "Venetian blinds" where the position of each sprite changes every scan line; this allows for eight or more sprites in a row.[1] Additionally, the concept of bank switching ROMs was invented for earlier prototypes of Video Chess that were larger than four kilobytes in size, however the released version ended up fitting the standard 4K size.[2]
The game is played from an overhead perspective. The player uses an "x" cursor to select and move pieces, rather than using chess notation. If an attempted move is illegal, a warning sound is made and the move is not made. If the right-most switch is set to A the computer plays as white; setting it to B lets the player play as white. With the left switch, selecting A allows the board to be set as the player pleases, whereas selecting B sets up the board for a regulation chess game.[1]
There are eight different difficulty levels, with the computer-player taking a variable amount of time to determine its moves for each level. The approximate time length ranges between ten seconds (level 8, for beginners) to ten hours (level 7).[1]
A feature of the two most difficult levels (6 and 7) is that the computer-player's prospective moves are displayed while it is "thinking" – in easier levels the screen is blanked to a solid, but changing, color. However, in these two levels the computer-player sometimes fails to return a piece to its original position, resulting in its making more than one move per turn.

tp explorer 2 den. Not built to last.
OK I'll deal with the positive bits first. We bought our tp explorer 2 den about three years ago. It was quite tricky to attach to the frame as the frame has to be completely disassembled first. Once up it looked great and the kids really loved it. It is also great for storing toys like footballs so they aren't littering the garden. Now the bad bit. After about 18 months we noticed that the trim around all the edges had started to fray. The material had become brittle and was slowly but surely falling to bits. Now we have had it three years and I can only call it an eyesore. As it only comes with a 12 month guarantee there is no chance of a replacement. I was disappointed by this as I would expect that a toy designed to be kept outside would last a bit longer than this. So to sum up by all means buy one but don't expect its good looks to last.

DUDE! These are AWESOME! Excellent work.
They are not as low-poly as I assumed though, because I lag quite a lot when 2 or more of these are on the screen. I think if the hoods did not go up and the engine compartment was a simple block (instead of all those intricate faces), this would be the best Police model pack EVER. I will still keep them in my game just because they are so incredible as-is, but I will be waiting for a V2 release for those of us that have weaker computers. ^.^
Thanks again for these top-notch government vehicles!

The Indian captain retained composure as he waded through the crowd of enthusiastic fans
Cameras clicked, flashbulbs flashed and video recorders whirred. Shouts of 'Dhoni, Dhoni' rent the air and there was a scramble for space.
The marauding Mahendra Singh Dhoni often causes mayhem in the middle. Off the cricketing arena too, he can be the cause of much bedlam.
On a hot Sunday afternoon, the Indian captain retained composure as he waded through the crowd of enthusiastic fans. Dhoni was in the city to inaugurate D.R.R. Eye Care and Oculoplasty Hospital in Karayanchavadi.
Despite the chaos, Dhoni's sense of humour was intact. "I do not want more people to develop problems and visit the hospital. So I cannot wish the hospital more patients. But whoever comes here should get the best treatment," he said.
To the delight of the audience, Dhoni said, "This is my first visit to Chennai, the city I love, this season. As you all know, we could not play our IPL matches here this season." He quickly added, "But the good wishes and support of the countless fans from Chennai are always with us, wherever we play. They are our strength. All I want to say is 'Chennai Super Kings ke whistle podu!'"
N. Srinivasan, vice-chairman and managing director, India Cements, who was the other guest of honour, called Dhoni 'an icon and a role model.'
As Dhoni left, the crowd roared again. And the Indian captain remained a sea of equanimity.
Keywords: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, D.R.R. Eye Care, Dhoni in Chennai

"Great listen!"
Thorough and complete summary of this era in history.
"Cheap romance masquerading as history"
This could have potentially been an interesting and informative book but instead it reads like a history book written by Danielle Steel. What little history you can get through the discussions of "bulging pants" and characters erections is fairly good and interesting. The War of 1812 is an interesting bit of history to read about - but choose something else besides this ridiculous book.

(Medical Xpress)—Physical activity is being increasingly recognized as an effective tool to treat depression. PhD candidate George Mammen's review published in the October issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine has taken the connection one step further, finding that moderate exercise can actually prevent episodes of depression in the long term.
This is the first longitudinal review to focus exclusively on the role that exercise plays in maintaining good mental health and preventing the onset of depression later in life.
Mammen—who is supervised by Professor Guy Faulkner, a co-author of the review— analyzed over 26 years' worth of research findings to discover that even low levels of physical activity (walking and gardening for 20-30 minutes a day) can ward off depression in people of all age groups.
Mammen's findings come at a time when mental health experts want to expand their approach beyond treating depression with costly prescription medication. "We need a prevention strategy now more than ever," he says. "Our health system is taxed. We need to shift focus and look for ways to fend off depression from the start."
Mammen acknowledges that other factors influence a person's likelihood of experiencing depression, including their genetic makeup. But he says that the scope of research he assessed demonstrates that regardless of individual predispositions, there's a clear take-away for everyone. "It's definitely worth taking note that if you're currently active, you should sustain it. If you're not physically active, you should initiate the habit. This review shows promising evidence that the impact of being active goes far beyond the physical."

SALISBURY — All things considered, Thursday turned out to be a pretty pleasant day on Tangier Island.
�It�s actually quite nice out � mild compared to what we�ve had,� said Jim Gott, owner of the Bay View Inn on Tangier.
While other parts of the mid-Atlantic dug out from as much a 18 inches of snow Thursday, the Delmarva Peninsula was spared the wrath of an overnight nor�easter.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia has had its share of snow and cold. But on Thursday, while as many as 16 inches of snow were reported in the western part of the state, Northampton and Accomack counties put up with a mild nor�easter � if you could call it that. Tangier, in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, had the customary water in the backyards brought on by moon cycles or strong winds.
�It�s usually flooded a bit more than this with a nor�easter,� Gott said.
By late morning, it was 46 degrees and damp, but the rain on Tangier Island seemed to be clearing.
�It�s actually not too bad out,� said Gott. �No rain, but a little bit of breeze.�
And, according to the National Weather Service, it won�t be too bad today either across the Delmarva Peninsula.
In Salisbury, it wiill be mostly sunny with a high near 42, though there will be a slight chance of rain and snow before 10 p.m., then snow likely. New snow accumulation of less than a half-inch is possible.
Temperatures will hover in the mid-30s this weekend, with a mix of snow and rain on Saturday.
A patch of warm air spared the Delmarva area from snowfall early Thursday.
Northeast winds brought in warmer air before the precipitation arrived, leaving locals only with rain late Wednesday, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Lyle Alexander.
�So it just stayed rain, and now with temperatures in the mid-40s, I guess the biggest question would be why it got so warm early in the game,� Alexander said.
�The warmer air moved in before the precipitation got there. That�s different from what happened in Norfolk: The snow moved in, and it was able to snow there for three or four hours, but then they got up into the 40s last night and their snow all melted.�
The National Weather Service also issued a special weather statement for Wicomico, Somerset, Worcester, Dorchester and Accomack counties because of high gusty winds.
Forecasters warned of possible flooding in the Delaware Bay during high tides Friday morning.
Still, officials in the area here are happy with just dealing with rain rather than the snow.
�We�re doing much better than our friends north and west of here,� Rehoboth Beach City Manager Sharon Lynn said.
Lynn said the storm posed few problems outside of a handful of fallen tree branches.
�We have some pooling of water in certain locations and a few branches down, but other than that we�re in good shape. I guess we should be thankful,� said Charles McMullen, Public Works supervisor for the town of Ocean View.
Crews were out at about midnight in Sussex County, except along the coast, where there was no snow.
In western Sussex, what scant amounts of snow fell had been washed away completely by rain, according to Jim Westhoff, spokesman for the Delaware Department of Transportation.
�Right now we�re concerned with flooding,� Westhoff said. �The winds may cause some flooding issues.�
Wind can prevent the tide from going out. The wind will also push more water in with the tide, creating a higher than usual tide.
However deep the snow got Thursday in northern Delaware, the southern part of the state appeared to have been spared another major snowfall.
�Looks like we dodged some major problems,� said Sussex County government spokesman Chip Guy.
Staff Writers Ted Shockley, Vanessa Junkin, Brian Shane and Rachael Pacella, The News Journal and The Associated Press all contributed to this report.

Research news
It has been thought that genes involved in thiamine (vitamin B1) biosynthesis might be controlled by a thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent sensor/regulatory protein, but no such protein has been shown to exist. In the October 17 Nature, Wade Winkler and colleagues from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, show that mRNAs bind thiamine derivatives directly and this interaction regulates bacterial gene expression without the need for protein cofactors (Nature, October 16, 2002, doi:10.1038/nature01145).
Winkler et al. used β-galactosidase translational fusion constructs from which they generated DNA templates and then RNA fragments. The resulting RNAs were analysed using a structure probing process to reveal whether the RNAs undergo structure modulation upon binding of ligands.
Using this system, Winkler et al. observed that the mRNAs encoding enzymes involved in thiamine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli can directly bind thiamine or its pyrophosphate derivative. The mRNA-effector complex adopts a distinct structure that sequesters the ribosome-binding site and leads to a reduction in gene expression.
"Although new metabolite-binding mRNAs are likely to emerge as evolution progresses, it is possible that the known riboswitches are 'molecular fossils' from the RNA world," conclude the authors.
