Alternate title: The Heart's Root
Ebullient drag queens do battle with repressive police in The Heart's Root, a fantastical film set in Lisbon. The city's protector, Saint Anthony, is the patron saint of lovers and also the inspiration behind "the brides of St. Anthony," a group of transvestites that dances through the city's streets in the name of freedom and liberation. They are threatened by Cato (Luis Miguel Cintra), a self-serving mayoral candidate who pines in unrequited love for Silvia (Joana Barcia), a friend of the aforementioned transvestites and protege of the formidable madam of one of Lisbon's brothels. Meditations on pornography, religion, fascism, and sex abound. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Egypt tycoon says Google executive to be freed
Google executive had not been seen since Jan. 27.
February 7, 2011 11:57 by Reuters
Egyptian telecoms tycoon Naguib Sawiris said on Sunday that authorities had promised him a Google Inc executive missing in Cairo would be freed on Monday.
Sawiris told a television satellite channel he owns that he had asked for Wael Ghonim's release during talks with Vice President Omar Suleiman on Sunday, alongside opposition groups, to try to end the country's political turmoil.
It was not immediately clear who might be holding Ghonim, Google's head of marketing for the Middle East and North Africa, who the company said had not been seen since Jan. 27.
Sawiris said he had been promised Ghomin would be released at 4 p.m. (1400 GMT), said a spokeswoman for Orascom Telecom, which Sawiris is chairman of, confirming his comments to the television station.
Google began a public search for Ghonim last week, giving out a telephone number for information about him.
Twitter messages last week from an account with the user name Wael Ghonim criticised the Egyptian government and showed solidarity with protesters rallying against President Hosni Mubarak.
Google launched a service for Egypt to allow people to dial a telephone number and leave a voice mail which would then be sent on Twitter and could be heard on telephones to try to work around Internet restrictions imposed by the government when the protests gathered pace.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has always been somewhat surly toward the media. Not because he hates them, but because he doesn't want to give any kind of real tips about what his team needs to do...or needs not to do. Popovich's stance especially rings true when he has to give an in-game interview. ESPN's Doris Burke was on the receiving end of a great one last night.

Dexamethasone has been found to reduce the incidence of high-altitude pulmonary oedema. Mechanisms explaining this effect still remain unclear. We assessed the effect of dexamethasone using established cell lines, including rat alveolar epithelial cells (AEC), pulmonary artery endothelial cells (RPAEC) and alveolar macrophages (MAC), in an environment of low oxygen, simulating a condition of alveolar hypoxia as found at high altitude. Inflammatory mediators and ion transporter expression were quantified. Based on earlier results, we hypothesized that hypoxic conditions trigger inflammation. AEC, RPAEC and MAC, pre-incubated for 1 h with or without dexamethasone (10(-7) mol/l), were subsequently exposed to mild hypoxia (5% O(2), or normoxia as control) for 24 h. mRNA and protein levels of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-6 were analysed. mRNA expression and functional activity of the apical epithelial sodium channel and basolateral Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase were determined using radioactive marker ions. In all three types of pulmonary cells hypoxic conditions led to an attenuated secretion of inflammatory mediators, which was even more pronounced in dexamethasone pretreated samples. Function of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase was not significantly influenced by hypoxia or dexamethasone, while activity of epithelial sodium channels was decreased under hypoxic conditions. When pre-incubated with dexamethasone, however, transporter activity was partially maintained. These findings illustrate that long-term hypoxia does not trigger an inflammatory response. The ion transport across apical epithelial sodium channels under hypoxic conditions is ameliorated in cells treated with dexamethasone.

SBI branch held guilty of fraud Our Correspondent Bilaspur, April
23 The respondents Indira Binding Works, Parkash Singh, Kuleep Singh, Bhagsingh and Surinder Singh of government Industrial area and Kothi, village near here had challenged this court decree through their counsel A.L. Nadda. They had claimed that the bank had withdrawn Rs 35,000 from an account of the respondents and transferred it to another account without any permission of or information to the respondents and against the rules and had thus claimed this amount of decree from the respondents. The court found that the bank had withdrawn Rs 35,000 from one bank account to another account of respondents without any instruction from them. It had withdrawn this amount from building loan and had credited the same in their term-loan account and had kept in secret. This had resulted in the respondents suffering an interest to the extent of 2.5 per cent over and above due to them and has thus committed a fraud on respondents. The Judge nullified the already passed decree and said that bank was not entitled to any amount claimed by it. He dismissed the bank decree with special cost of Rs 5,000 to be paid to the respondents within two months and also to pay the excess amount deposited with the bank by them. |
Girls on top in Class XII merit list
Dharamsala, April 23 Giving details of the results of the medical and non-medical streams of Class XII examinations conducted from March 5 to April 6 here today, the Chairman of the board, Mr B.R. Rahi, said of the 13 students who shared the first 10 positions, eight were girls. The board registered a pass percentage of 67.89. Madhurima Sharma from NKMSD Chand Public School, Ghuggar, Vandna Raghuvanshi from Him Academy School, Hamirpur, and Avin Koushal from ABM Senior Secondary School, Thakurdwara, shared the first position. Ankush Mahajan of Kanshi Ram Memorial School, Chetru, stood second with 91.2 per cent while Pratima Rana of Him Academy School, Hamirpur, stood third. While private schools took away most of the merit places, three government school students also worked their way into the list. In the merit list of the first 10 Kangra district has bagged eight positions, Hamirpur three, Shimla one and Chamba one. Mr Rahi claimed the board had declared results within 15 days of the examinations keeping in mind the need for plus two science students to plan their careers. Students could call these numbers in Shimla to obtain their results - 2627651, 2623652, 2620424, 2626382, 2625112, 2621642, 2620385, 2628245. Meanwhile, 11-years-old Akrit Jaswal became the youngest student in Himachal Pradesh to pass the plus two level examination conducted by the board, securing 73.8 per cent. A Class V student at a school in Raja ka Talab, Akrit was allowed to appear for the examination by the board Chairman using special powers after the Chief Minister asked him to look into the possibility. Experts interacted with young Akrit and were convinced he was a genius. He was given special permission to appear for the exams. |
CPM opposes retrenchment
Shimla, April 23 In a statement issued here yesterday, the State Secretary of the CPM, Mr Rakesh Singha, said the retrenchment had been done under the World Bank pressure after accepting a restructural loan of Rs 8,000. There is no justification in retrenchment of daily wagers, especially in the PWD at a time when the government is claiming to increase the road network in the state, he said. Mr Singha warned it was the beginning of the biggest attack on the working class and farmers in the days ahead. The tall claims of the government of providing employment and being pro-poor stands thoroughly exposed by the anti-working class, he alleged. He reminded that the Arjun Singh government in Madhya Pradesh had suffered the worstever electoral defeat as a result of retrenching PWD workers. Instead of fulfilling its election promise of regularising daily wagers with seven years of service, the government was resorting to retrenching them, he lamented. |
Govt college to have auditorium
April 23 He further said that Kangra district had always been accorded
priority by his government when it came to development and Dharamsala
had emerged as the second important town in the state after Shimla. Mr
Virbhadra Singh said his government, had built a vast road network of
over 28,000 km and the number of educational institutions touching
15,000 in the government sector. Around 25,000 other institutions were
functioning in the private sector, he said. He added that his
government would continue with the need-based expansion of educational
institutions so that students get the best facilities. The literacy
rate, which was 7.1 per cent at the time of the formation of the state
had gone up to 77.4 per cent and womens literacy had reached 66 per
cent, which was above the national average,. Meanwhile, the Chief
Minister today inaugurated an amusement park, Himalyan Wonderland at
Chetru, near Dharamsala. He said he hoped that the park would add to the
tourism activities in the Kangra valley and provide amusement outlets to
children. |
Two held for thefts
April 23 The two were wanted in a case of theft where fan equipment worth Rs 3.5 lakh had been stolen from Anuj Electronics here on April 15. The equipment was later sold to a junk dealer who was transporting it for sale outside the region. Three other junk dealers Satinder, Ram Kumar and Vijay had been arrested earlier when they were transporting the equipment. The theft was discovered when the unit officials recognised the boxes and seal of their unit in the truck where they were being transported for further sale. They are presently in a judicial custody. SHO, Bhishem Thakur, revealed that the interrogation of two men arrested last night revealed that they had committed at least five other thefts in the area. A case under Sections 453 and 380 of the IPC was registered against them. |

Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD
Howlin, Robert (2009) Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD. University of Southampton, School of Biological Sciences, Doctoral Thesis , 244pp.
Download (7Mb) |
The physicochemical nature of the infectious agent in prion diseases creates a
significant challenge for decontamination services. It has been shown to be both resistant to
standard methods of decontamination, used to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and to associate
avidly with surgical stainless steel. Moreover, the pathophysiology of the variant, iatrogenic
and sporadic forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) suggests deposition of the infectious
agent across a wide range of extraneural, lymphoid tissues, as well as in the skeletal muscle
and blood. Coupled with the potential for asymptomatic carriers, there is a significant risk of
iatrogenic transmission of CJD through both neurosurgical procedures and standard surgery.
This PhD study was undertaken in order to improve methods of instrument
decontamination and to evaluate prion detection techniques and their applicability for the
assessment of prion inactivation and removal. The project has provided relevant, critical
assessment of hospital decontamination procedures, in addition to guidance on how working
protocols should be improved to provide a cleaner and safer end product for the patient.
Moreover, laboratory studies have been performed to evaluate current methods of prion
decontamination in the context of hospital procedures for instrument reprocessing. Challenges
faced by sterile service departments, such as soil drying and surface degradation, have been
addressed and their impact on the risk of iatrogenic transmission of prions has been
investigated. Critically, the use of a fluorescent amyloid fluorophore for the detection of prionassociated
amyloid as a marker for disease permitted the investigation of the role of amyloid
in infectious disease under denaturing conditions. Correlation of this detection technique with
the identification of PrPres by Western blot and infectious disease suggested that, whilst
fluorescent detection of prion-associated amyloid was more sensitive than Western blot, PrPres
detection was more specific relative to infectivity. Improved fluorophores, with greater
sensitivity, have been evaluated which will enhance in situ detection of prions in the future.

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 More items for Health & Safety
Are workers in states that run their own occupational safety and health programs getting the same protection as those in states overseen by federal regulators?
A new federal audit—the latest to criticize a state program—suggests not.
Some fatal accident files were closed without documenting that violations had been corrected, OSHA said. Some fatal cases did not result in any citations.
A scathing new report by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration accuses the Vermont OSHA (VOSHA) program of "severe deficiencies" in fatal accidents, falling far short of inspection goals, leaving problems uncorrected, failure to investigate claims by whistleblowers, misclassifying violations, and a variety of other serious lapses.
Several serious problems date back three years, federal OSHA said. The Vermont program began in 2005.
Continuing Problems
Federal OSHA's FY2011 Enhanced Federal Annual Monitoring Evaluation (EFAME) of the Vermont program repeats a list of violations that were noted in the state's FY2010 and FY2009 evaluations.
The recurring deficiencies include failure to notify next of kin in a timely fashion after a fatal accident; lack of training by personnel and supervisors; improper assessment of the severity of violations; and closing cases without having documented abatement of violations.
Recurring deficiencies included lack of training for supervisors and inspectors, misclassifying violations, and improperly assessing the severity of violations.
In FY2010, federal OSHA noted 11 areas with deficiencies, including mishandling of death investigations.
A year later, however, only one of those 11 areas had been addressed. "For example," the new report said, "issues persist with respect to violation classification and gravity assessments; inadequate documentation of abatement; evidence to support violations cited as serious; and sending letters to fatality victims' next of kin."
Not only that, federal OSHA notes, but the state showed several new problems in FY2011.
Fatal Accidents Mishandled
The two "major new issues" cited in FY2011 are significant mishandling of fatal accidents and whistleblower complaints.
The report found "severe deficiencies with respect to fatality investigations, such as failure to follow fundamental fatality investigative procedures outlined in OSHA's Field Operations Manual (FOM), and failure to thoroughly document fatality incidents."
Cited for a third year for not completing required training, Vermont inspectors told federal OSHA that the training was a "waste of time."
The program's "most significant deficiencies are due to managers' and [Compliance Safety and Health Officers'] inattention or failure to understand basic inspection and investigatory techniques," the report said.
For example, in one fatal case, the inspector:
In another fatal case, "VOSHA did not follow basic investigatory techniques as outlined in the [Field Operations Manual] and did not consider issuing citations."
In a third fatal case, VOSHA "was months overdue in sending a next-of-kin letter to a victim whose family resides in Mexico, on the grounds that VOSHA had been unable to translate the letter into Spanish," the report said.
Other "serious concerns" include inadequate "training and supervision" of program supervisors.
Whistleblower Weaknesses
Regarding whistleblowers, federal OSHA found that VOSHA's program again fell short of federal standards and failed to implement "important recommendations" federal OSHA had made earlier.
"No training or experience" by supervisors was a problem in Vermont's whistleblower program.
"While the review identified some areas where VOSHA has made improvements since the last review in 2009, many more areas were identified where the program is deficient and must be improved," the report said.
Among the "serious problems" cited: VOSHA investigators made "no distinction ... between established fact and uncorroborated assertion," and they tended to "reach conclusions without examining each element of the prima facie case," federal OSHA said.
Other problems the feds cited in the state whistleblower program included:
Other Problems
The federal evaluation also found that the Vermont agency:
Increased Oversight
Federal OSHA said it would "intensify its quarterly monitoring" of the Vermont program "in light of these serious deficiencies." The federal agency said it would conduct random reviews of case files and would review all fatality case files before they are closed.
Half of U.S. states as well as the Virgin Islands run their own OSHA programs, although some of the programs cover only public employees. Federal OSHA is required to evaluate each of these programs annually.
Vermont's isn't the only program that has run into problems.
Among other problems: In September, federal OSHA took over Hawaii OSHA's program, which dated to 1973, after Hawaii said it could no longer afford to staff and run the program.
Federal OSHA has also reported a variety of problems with the Nevada OSHA program.

Alternative Weapon System

Alternative Weapon System | |

Attribute | Pyrus |
Anime | |
First appearance | Fusion Confusion |
The Alternative Weapon System (commonly referred to as the Alternative or Alternative Farbros (オルタナティブ・ファーブロス) in the Japanese version)) was a doomsday device created by Professor Clay, by using the Phantom Data from Neathia, so Zenoheld could destroy Vestal and Earth.
The Alternative was first mentioned in Fusion Confusion when Professor Clay analyzed the data from the Bakugan Battle Gear and showed it to King Zenoheld. In Volt's Revolt and Payback, Volt and Lync left the Vexos because they didn't like what it could do and thought it was wrong (and because Lync wanted to save Alice). Lync made a copy of the blueprints of the Alternative, and also Keith identified the Alternative as a weapon that can destroy an entire galaxy along with its living beings. Zenoheld used it to try to kill Helios MK2 and Spectra in Ultimate Weapon but they dodged and it destroyed half of a huge planet. Professor Clay stayed in a central command station that controls many different pieces of the Alternative Weapon System. It is huge and is also equipped with hundreds of Pyrus Fortress as guards and Farbros inside of it. In All for One and Final Fury, the Bakugan Resistance along with Spectra, Gus, and Hydron destroyed it with Zenoheld, Hydron, and Dryoid getting caught in the explosion.

- Digital Haos Lumitroid
- It may be based on the "Death Star" from the "Star Wars" Series. This could be supported by that the power generator area highly resembles that of the Death Star.
- There is a mini digital brawling arena inside where the Resistance battled Haos Lumitroid, Ventus Farakspin, Subterra Clawsaurus, and Pyrus Snapzoid.
- The data of it might have came from Gundalia instead of Neathia but this is unknown.
- It has the ability to destroy a Moon (shown when it was first activated and attacked Spectra/Keith).
- Professor Clay finds a video and see's the Gundalians having war with the Neathians.

Testing a tubing turner
11 comments:
I bought a hemostat and it works pretty well. I have one of those turners, too, but I couldn't get the hang of it at all. The hemostat is much easier for me. I got it at a quilting store, although I'm not a quilter. If you want to read a bit about it, I found this:
I highly recommend it!I have a Fasturn Set.... they are copper tubes of varying sizes and long, skinny wires with a twist at the top. you slide the tube into your sewn fabric, fold the top of the fabric over one end of the tube, slide the wire up the middle of the tube and twist the corkscrew into the fabric and pull the fabric down, through the metal tube... the set is pricy, but it works every time!
I found the best price in the US to be at Nancy's notions (nancysnotions.com)
http://www.nancysnotions.com/jump.do?itemID=5&itemType=LANDING&page=fasturntubes shows the device and how it works
Another, low tech way is to cut a piece of string or yarn a bit longer than your fabric tube and lay it inside the folded fabric... don't catch it in the long seam, but stitch across one end of the fabric tube, catching the string. You then pull the string out the un-sewn end and it turns the tube right side out.
good luck!Turn-It-All
Works for all but the thinnest turnings.
It's similar to the chopstick but with the addition of the tubes. One of the best sewing investments I made, use it all the time.
Johanna, you might find a European vendor who could offer a better price than Amason US, but the link provides product details. Hope this helps.I use one of these all the time and although it is not very strong it is very slim and that makes it useful for thin straps etc. A chopstick sometimes is just too thick. I have loved mine for many years and found it very useful. The only thing is that if the fabric is fine or not such great quality then the hook can tear it.

Back to the Land of the Long White Cloud
Trip Start
May 18, 2003
Trip End
Coming back to my old flat and seeing familiar faces again is very comforting. After camping along the West Coast of Australia and sleeping in random boats, buses, tents and hostels on the East Coast there is nothing quite as luxurious as having a comfortable familiar bedroom again. Even if I have to remind the cats that they no longer have exclusive rights to it!
The flight from Brisbane to Auckland went without a hitch, except for a bit of an unexpected obstacle with Visas. The staff at the Brisbane QANTAS check-in desk wanted to see my round-the-world ticket showing a flight out of New Zealand before they would check me onto the flight to Auckland, which was due to depart in just over an hour and a half. Despite having entered New Zealand from an international location twice before without an onward ticket I was now being told that there was no way I would be allowed on the plane without said ticket. They suggested that I visit the customer service desk, so off I went.
The staff at QANTAS Customer Services seemed to be familiar with this situation. "We get this all the time" was the line they kept using. The best work around they could offer was to sell me a ticket, which I could then refund tomorrow from New Zealand; minus the $55 administration fee of course.
At first they insisted that I had to buy a one way ticket from New Zealand to where my passport was issued, i.e. the UK. This was going to cost over $3300. When I suggested that a flight to somewhere like Singapore (where I did not require a VISA) would be cheaper they reluctantly consulted their Visa Regulations manual to see if I knew what I was talking about. After that they also had to check with their supervisor, naturally.
So I managed to board the plane eventually with thirty minutes to spare, albeit $1166 lighter on my wallet with a one way ticket to Singapore that I'm hoping I can refund tomorrow. On arrival at New Zealand Immigration they did in fact ask to see an onward ticket; so the whole exercise was not pointless in the end.
Morals of this story:
1) Always check the immigration requirements of your destination country.
2) Always have the means to buy yourself a plane ticket, you never know when you might need to.
3) Unless you have more money then sense, don't believe everything they tell you at airport customer service desks.

"One highlight of the annual meeting is a just-for-fun hunting contest where we use our dogs to find, point and retrieve pen-raised and released quail, pheasants or chukar partridge.

All good things, to those who wait! Everything has its time......
well,,,,, ehhheemmm!! I'm a very focused hard working woman. I enjoy learning new things and good conversation. Not very easily persuaded because I'm very well aware of what I want. I am confident of where I stand, yet very respectful of others accomplishments and feelings . My modo is "The only secret to success is no other than hard work" I've learned a little bit of; well,,almost everything, yet I have much more to learn. I've Learned to fool my thoughts, and bite my heart. I left my beliefs behind and became selfless; until I understood that not everything has a reason for being... and sometimes we just have to live. Now I see life with eyes that don't seek perfection, but admire you for who you are. Only to understand that there is no greater strength, than the one given by God. I dream of becoming a better woman day by day, and living the fairytale ending in"Happily ever after" So today I can say that I'm in love with life and in a never ending relationship with God; and I understand that the simplicity of life is in understanding that love is freedom, and life is what few people know; LOVE. The rest is a derivative. (In LOVE with my life)

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThe stories surrounding the history of the Underground Railroad are often both heartbreaking and brimming with hope. So, it only seems logical that Deborah Hopkinson and James E. Ransome's sequel to Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt should possess both qualities in abundance. This outstanding book follows one girl as she leads her family from slavery to the path of freedom.
Poetic prose fills the pages of this exquisite book, with the first leg of the journey entitled "Running." This simple title combines with spare text to introduce readers to the beginning of a challenging voyage: "I'm young/but my legs are strong./I can run," the heroine declares. The words are matched with the heart-stopping image of a girl and her family running through shallow water under the night sky. Ransome's brilliant oil paintings bring the story to life. With glorious hues and strong feeling, he shows us the determination and hope of the slaves as they flee from bondage toward freedom. Using the stars as their guide, the family travels northward under cover of darkness and hides out in the forest during the day. Though hungry, tired, and scared, they know they cannot go back. The girl is continually on the alert for signs of help from the Underground Railroad, and she finally sees a woman come out of a house and drape a quilt across a fence while pointedly looking toward the woods. When the girl sees the blue center squares on the quilt, she knows this is a house that hides runaways. The fugitives find shelter and food with a loving white family and gear up for the next leg of their journey to freedom. They are then concealed in a wagon that brings them to a church deep in the woods; there they are given a hand-drawn map to guide them to the next refuge. Feeling closer to freedom, the little girl finally smiles and raises her voice in song, while the sun rises in golden glory.
While the use of quilts in the Underground Railroad has not been fully confirmed, this outstanding picture book is sure to resonate with very reader. Each page resonates with the anguish and hope that filled runaway slaves. Young readers will be entranced with the remarkable text. The breathtaking illustrations offer a closer look into the hearts of those brave people who risked everything to be free. This brilliant and timely tale of survival and faith is a great choice for young readers. (Amy Barkat)

21st Century challenges: a vibrant Chamber is an imperative if this region is to thrive.
On July 1, Cynthia J. Pasky, president, CEO and founder of Strategic Staffing Solutions Inc., became chair of the Detroit Regional Chamber's Board of Directors. Here are her thoughts on the 2005-2006 program year.As the nation's largest metropolitan chamber of commerce, the Detroit Regional Chamber continues to model the vitality this region needs if we are to successfully compete in the 21st Century global economy.
As a truly regional organization that has successfully brought together the often diverse interests found in the region, it also models the collegial approach we must have if we are to continue to be one of the world's leading economic centers.
Unfortunately, we all know that the cooperative efforts we need to succeed as a region are at times hindered by the political climate of the region. But it is our responsibility, even if we stub our toe from time to time, to keep striving for that goal.
Organizations such as the Chamber offer the template we must follow if we are to succeed.
As the first executive of an IT company to chair the Chamber board, I bring a different perspective to this position than many of my predecessors. Clearly, the auto industry remains the cornerstone of Detroit's economy. Equally clearly, we must work on all fronts to build our economy as the world changes around us.
If this city and this region are going to thrive, we need to develop new jobs that reflect the realities of the 21st Century economy. As part of that effort, we should start by looking at the current job market to determine what jobs are available, and then work to assure an educational system that trains our people for those jobs.
For example, every day some 1,500 nurses come across the border from Canada to work in our health-care institutions. We need to make our own young people aware that those good-paying jobs need to be filled, and then ensure that our educational system will provide them the skills they need to fill those jobs.
A vibrant Detroit Regional Chamber is an imperative if this region is to thrive. The Chamber Board recently adopted a new three-year vision statement entitled: Leading Business Growth and Member Success.
The statement recognizes that the Chamber is the region's premier advocate for business and quality-of-life issues, the state's leading catalyst for economic development and the hub of leadership development in the region. It also emphasizes that membership in the Detroit Regional Chamber is a bottom-line imperative for businesses.
The Chamber vision statement has three goals:
* Lead the business agenda and provide solutions that help our members make money, save money and grow.
* Create a competitive region to attract and retain business investment and talented leaders.
* Create effective and efficient operations to achieve strategic goals.
As we work to grow our region, we need to start by encouraging our current employers to grow here. A number of our major employers are part of national and international corporations that make decisions every day about where to locate new operations. We should work aggressively with companies such as SBC, Bank One/JPMC, DTE Energy and others to help them stay successful and to encourage them to grow here. Each of us who runs a business can encourage our suppliers to do the same.
I'm looking forward to an exciting, challenging year as chair. Working together, we can achieve a great deal to assure that Detroit and the Detroit Region are as important to the 21st Century economy as we were to the 20th Century economy.

Only one vampire movie was released in 1997 (Vampire Journals, no relation to The Vampire Diaries) and only one book was published (Dracula the Undead). Both of these occupy special places on nobo…

Accident or suicide? That's the simple question put to Inspector Michael Green when a derelict stranger falls to his death from an abandoned church tower in a quiet river village at the edge of his jurisdiction. But when the victim turns out be a long lost son of a local farm family cursed in recent years by tragedy, madness and death, Green begins to suspect something far more sinister is at work. Probing the family's past, he uncovers a toxic mix of rigid fundamentalism, teenage rebellion and a family secret so horrific that twenty years later, someone is still desperate to prevent the truth from coming to light.

Mr. E's Chicken Soup
Recipe courtesy Edison Mays Jr.
- Cooking School Stories
- 1 pound chicken, diced
- 8 ounces onion, chopped
- 4 ounces celery, chopped
- 4 ounces carrots, chopped
- 8 ounces egg whites
- 6 to 8 parsley stems
- 1 pinch thyme
- 1 to 2 bay leaves
- 2 cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
- 8 cups chicken stock, degreased
Start with a well-flavored, cold, strong chicken stock. Select a heavy stockpot, preferably 1 with a spigot at the bottom. Combine the chicken, onion, celery, carrots, egg whites, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, and peppercorns in the soup pot and mix very well. Mix the meat mixture with small amount of chicken stock to cover. Allow the mixture to set for 20 to 30 minutes. This process will allow the soup to break down valuable proteins that provide body for the consomme.
Gradually add the remaining stock and mix well with the meat mixture. Set the pot over a low flame and bring to a slow simmer. On occasion, stir the contents so that the meat mixture can coagulate evenly, producing a good raft. As the temperature rises to the simmering point, no longer stir the contents for the risk of breaking the raft is too high. Move to a lower heat so that the contents maintain a simmer. Do not cover or allow to boil.
Allow it to simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours. Strain the consomme through a china cap lined with several layers of cheesecloth or coffee filters. Do not force the liquid for you will push particles through. Remove all traces of the fat from the surface. Adjust seasonings, to taste. Your soup should be perfectly clear.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

MrSchweee | Use this tone for the intro, chorus solo. This tone uses the modelled Diezel VH-4 which Mark uses in the studio with the live settings dialled in he uses on his Mesa Engineering Triple Rectofier. This is atop the 4x12 Treadplate cab as Mark favours Mesa Engineering cabs for studio live. A.I.R. uses the 67 condenser at 50 to let the cab breathe get a full range tone. The 4x12 Treadplate has a tendancy to slightly muddy the sound. A brighter fuller tone has been cajolled from the cab by using the modeled Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer stomp box colour fullness is produced by adding the sine chorus. For the solo, activate the Wah which uses the chrome model. Finally, compression noise gate keeps this beast under control while Digital Delay subtley provides a little extra layer to the tone with the high end being tweaked on the EQ.

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.

New cloaking device is no mirage – but it's like one
By Ben Coxworth
October 4, 2011
You have no doubt seen mirages on the distant surfaces of hot highways before, looking like pools of water shimmering on the asphalt. Such illusions are caused by hot air above the road, which refracts light waves coming down into it from the cooler air above - in other words, the supposed "water" is actually the sky, its image being bent toward you by the low-lying hot air. Well, scientists at the University of Texas at Dallas have put the same principle to work in the lab, and created an invisibility cloak that can be easily switched on and off.
The cloak itself is composed of a thin transparent layer of highly-aligned carbon nanotubes, which are known for their ability to conduct and disperse heat. This sheet is drawn taut on a mounting apparatus, and then placed in front of the object that needs to be hidden.
When viewed through the clear sheet, the object is completely visible. When an alternating electric current or a pulse of electromagnetic radiation is ran through the sheet, however, it becomes hot, and also spreads that heat to the air immediately around it. This causes a steep temperature gradient, which in turn causes light rays reflecting off the object to bend, instead of proceeding straight to the viewer's eye. As a result, the object seems to disappear.
As soon as the current is turned off, the effect ceases. The process is said to work particularly well underwater, as the video below illustrates.
A paper on the UT Dallas research was recently published in the journal Nanotechnology.
Hmmm yes and mirages only work at a very shallow angle too...
I mean this is not crap - but it's limited to flat surfaces and shallow angles - and IR free detection.

I could use it to hide in plain sight whilst giggling like Peter Griffin.
Jimmy Forcyth5th October, 2011 @ 10:23 am PDT
Come on people. This is a project in progress, don't expect miracles all at once. Although I guess we all know what they have in mind for this technology once it's perfected!
Ah, where would we be without military funding?
warren52nz5th October, 2011 @ 12:41 pm PDT
Interesting, but this begs for a more varied demonstration.
1. How does this work at different viewing angles?
2. In the current demo, the sheet mostly hid itself. Can it hide objects sitting behind the sheet?
3. What are the current size limitations for the effect?
These are all interesting questions which I believe could be answer right now, at least in the context of the prototype.
Loving It All5th October, 2011 @ 02:25 pm PDT
It's not crap - as in bad, it's just the mirage effect of a hot boundry layer of air sticking to a surface ONLY works in a very narrow angle....
As a child in outback (stinking hot) Australia - these were NORMAL to see on the road in the middle of the day...... that shiny layer over the road, some distance away and as you get closer or the angle changes slightly - "huffff" (sound of ghost passing) - the mirage invisibilates.....
5th October, 2011 @ 04:54 pm PDT
Today, portable(?) mirages. Tomorrow, portable holes!
Gregg Eshelman5th October, 2011 @ 08:51 pm PDT
I don't get it.
Suppose an invisibility cloak is a purchasable product- than what?
Who'd use it and for what purposes?

The Gemini Observatory consists of twin 8.1-meter diameter optical/infrared telescopes located on two of the best observing sites on the planet. From their locations on mountains in Hawai'i and Chile, Gemini Observatory's telescopes can collectively access the entire sky.
Read MoreAt Gemini we seek individuals who are deeply committed and dedicated to exploring the universe and sharing its wonders. Our success stems from our globally diverse team in Hawaii and Chile, combined with the strong foundation provided by our international partners. You will find a challenging environment with innovative people, operating in a supportive culture that fosters collaboration and teamwork.

Experience behind-the-scenes work and the people of our observatory in this bi-lingual video collection (subtitled in English/Spanish).
Exploring the Universe, Sharing its Wonders
He started his university studies in Montpellier with a DUT in Physics (a two-year degree from a university institute of technology). He then moved on to the University of Grenoble where he got a DEA (Master's Degree) and then pursued his PhD under Jean-Paul Pique at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Physics. His thesis was on "Etude d'un laser sans mode de puissance pour la production d'étoiles laser" ("Study of a high power modeless laser for the production of laser star") and was successfully defended on January 22nd, 2007. In the lab, he was remembered as an enthusiastic, meticulous, and hard-working person.
Vincent joined the team at the Gemini North telescope, based in Hilo, Hawai'i, on October 3rd, 2007. He was hired as a laser specialist to oversee the laser used for the telescope's Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system. In this capacity he kept the laser exquisitely maintained and maximized up-time of the laser. Following his time at Gemini North, Vincent was asked to work on the Gemini South laser, then under construction at Lockheed Martin Coherent Technologies in Colorado. Vincent spent several months in Colorado cross-training and doing end-to-end testing of the system before the laser's acceptance and shipping to Chile. The shipping was scheduled to occur in early March 2010 but was delayed due to a major earthquake in Chile on February 27th.
Vincent relocated to Gemini South in La Serena, arriving in Chile on March 23rd, 2010. Since then, Vincent has been one of the key players on the Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) team charged with commissioning the system's laser (for producing laser guide stars) on the Gemini South telescope. The milestone of first on-sky laser light was obtained on January 22nd 2011 at Cerro Pachón and this opened the era of laser guide star 'constellations' for large telescopes. Several of the pictures presented in this memorial page date from this period.
Vincent was then promoted to the position of laser and optical engineer and in that capacity has worked on continuous improvements of the laser, cross-trained new people on the team, and contributed to the long technical and science commissioning of this new facility. In addition he played a critical role in the start of science operations that began in January of this year. Vincent also played a critical role in other optical systems like the Beam Transfer Optics, which is part of the Laser Guide Star Facility. Most recently, Vincent served as an optical engineer for the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), which just completed its first technical run on the telescope (Nov 11-18). Unfortunately, Vincent's tragic car accident occurred on the day before the GPI run began so he was not able to witness the first results but the GPI team has kept him in their thoughts and shared the joy of the instrument's great success.
Vincent will be remembered as a friendly and intelligent person who enjoyed simplicity as a happy and true person. Always smiling and generous, he also loved the outdoors and was passionate about ecology and maintained a deep interested in world politics while caring deeply for social justice. He was an excellent photographer and particularly enjoyed capturing the beauty of nature and all its creatures – especially birds.
Vincent loved Patagonia. Before the accident, he was preparing a photography exhibit, which his family shared with his friends and colleagues after the tragedy. Vincent was a great colleague to all and will be deeply missed. He left us a solid legacy on which we will continue to build, and inspired us by sharing his usual happiness and sense of humor.
A tribute to Vincent has been created on a dedicated memorial website and we invite you to visit and use this site to share your memories: http://vincent-fesquet.forevermissed.com/

A fine idea. Think in gonna have a pour of OESK since I don't currently have an OBSK open :-)
A fine idea. Think in gonna have a pour of OESK since I don't currently have an OBSK open :-)
Can't go wrong with OESK! I was just checking some of my open FRSB's and I've got some gift shop OESO, OBSO, OBSV, OBSQ and some OESV's that are on notice for today . I will be hitting the OESO next as it has the lowest fill level, trying to clear out some room on the "bar".
I decided to open a Noah's Mill I received as a Christmas gift. So far I don't think I will be buying any for myself but we will see if it grows on me.
WT Tradition, my first pours, yum yum
Still sippin' my X-Mas bourbon, 2013 William Larue Weller, neat.
Had a big pour of FC for the USC-Wisconsin game. Then did a SBS with KC SB and Booker's. Reduced the proof of the Booker's just to make it fair. The KC seemed a little woodier--which I attribute to 9 YO vs. 7 YO. Quite a bit of dark chocolate in both. And a simply lovely mouth feel. If I had to drink either one for all of '14, I'd be one very happy camper.
If God made anything better than bourbon he must have kept it for Hisself.
Empty bottle of Evan Williams BiB on the counter this morning so I guess that happened last night.

Scientists Wednesday unveiled a spectacular array of more than 200 new species discovered in the Pacific islands of Papua New Guinea, including a white-tailed mouse and a tiny, long-snouted frog.
The survey of remote New Britain island and the Southern Highlands ranges, accessible only by a combination of small plane, dinghy, helicopter and foot, found an exciting range of new mammals, amphibians, insects and plants.
"To find a completely new genus of mammal in this day and age is pretty cool," said lead researcher Steve Richards of the new mouse species discovery.
"I mean, people have heard of birds of paradise and tree-climbing kangaroos and stuff, but when you look even closer at the small things you just realise that there's a staggering diversity out there that we really know nothing about," he told AFP.
Papua New Guinea's jungles are one of just three wild rainforest areas, along with the Amazon and the Congo basin, left in the world and Richards said they were a vast "storehouse" of biodiversity, with scores of new species found by his Conservation International team.
The "very, very beautiful mouse", the two-centimetre (0.8 inch) long-snouted frog and another with bright yellow spots were among the highlights, but the expedition documented 100 new species in each of the spider and insect orders alone, he said.
"I would say that pretty much no matter where you go in New Guinea you're guaranteed to pick up new or poorly known spectacular species," said Richards, an expert in frogs and reptiles who is based in Cairns, Australia.
"For some lesser known groups only half of the things that we document actually have names, we aren't even a fraction of the way there," he added.
The rugged, mountainous and largely inaccessible terrain meant biologists had not even been able to enter some regions and Richards said there were "large areas of New Guinea that are pretty much unexplored biologically".
Sample animals were taken of a number of species, including the mouse, and genetic testing had confirmed that it was not related to any known creature, he said.
"These kind of discoveries are almost kind of a good news story amongst all the gloom," he said, referring to the creeping extinction of other creatures.
"There really are spectacular species still out there and there really is a potential for things to survive."

coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid when nothing else was available.
You're not serious right?
Nothing should go into the vein that is not sterilized and it should always be medical grade, isotonic, and ph balanced etc. Even if the venipuncture site isn't prepped appropriately the bacteria introduced from your skin can ruin one of your hear valves (endocarditis).
Starting an IV requires special equipment and the skill of starting an IV is a perishable one. If you don't practice often, you can't do it. Also, the only person you'd be sticking on your boat would be a severely dehydrated one, which is harder still.
The better solution to severe dehydration of any cause is a solved one. The World Health Organization developed a formulation of water, salts, and sugar that is 99% as effective as IV hydration and has saved millions of lives. You can buy the
WHO Oral Rehydration Salts
(though they're easier to find in other countries than in the USA where they are distributed by AMK and are expensive) or you can make it up yourself.
No special equipment, no needles, no special skills, no risk of endocarditis. What's not to like?
1 liter clean water
6 TSB table sugar
1/2 TSB table salt
1/4 TSB salt substitute (potassium chloride)
1/4 TSB baking soda
This specific concentration of sugar speeds absorption of the water through a co-transport mechanism but is not enough sugar to delay gastric emptying. i.e. it doesn't make your stomach hold on to it for a while to digest it. If the victim is drinking this on an empty stomach they can absorb 1liter/hour.
PS Sutures are something I hate seeing in remote medical kits. Suturing is usually for cosmetic effect. It's almost always better to leave the wound open and let it heal without sutures, much less chance of infection that way. This is even done in hospitals with a very dirty wound. If you must close a wound to preserve function use 3M Steri-strips. If you can apply a bandaid, you can use them. Leave the sutures needles and other sharp stuff at home it often does more harm than good!
