I saw this recipe floating around on the internet somehow and quickly bookmarked it, so that I would be able to use some of my eggplant to make these chips. I always love it when I see unique ideas that use vegetables I love.
I made these for lunch one day last week and they were really tasty. I had a few problems getting the chips to crisp up, so I adjusted the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, and had to cook them for a little longer than called for. I also got a few slices that were really loaded with paprika, so next time I make them I think I will sprinkle the seasoning on after the olive oil is lightly coated onto the eggplant slices.
This recipe does take a little bit of time, so make sure you read the entire recipe before you begin. The eggplant slices need to be salted and then sit for an hour, but that is when I decided to make the pesto sauce.
There was enough pesto leftover to use on some pasta later in the week and it was delish!

The 13 Greatest Marriage Proposal FAILs of All Time
There are few things more entertaining than the heart-wrenching misery of other people. Some of the greatest moments in cringeworthy Internet videos can be found within the hundreds of videos of people being denied a fair maiden's hand in marriage in some brutal, embarrassing, and public way. So, here are the best (worst?) videos of guys making terrible decisions with what's supposed to be one of the greatest moments of their life (leading to what is probably the worst moment of their life).

The Villanova Voices is the oldest women's organization within Villanova University. Originally called the Villanova Women's Glee Club, the group was founded shortly after Villanova became coeducational in 1960 by twenty ambitious women from the University's College of Nursing. These talented young women now have a new name and a new image. Over fifty Voices now join together from diverse fields of study, and share their common love: music.
Becoming increasingly visible on and off campus, the Voices perform at several functions each year. They continue to sing at various Wildcat games, Special Olympics ceremonies, and at local charity events. They also warmly spread holiday cheer with senior citizens at several nursing homes and with the people of Philadelphia at the King of Prussia mall. The annual Winter and Spring concerts with the Villanova Singers, however, remain the highlight of each semester. Working together, the two groups have enjoyed the challenge of preparing many difficult pieces like Handel's Messiah, Rutter's Gloria, Faure's Requiem, Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and Mozart's Coronation Mass. The Voices tour in the U.S. and abroad.

Within these boundaries, The War Within is wunnerful, just wunnerful. The power-metal delivery is astounding and perfect. Although nothing is as memorable even in the diminished ways of the blowhard project Velvet Revolver, or damned peculiar like Finntroll, SF always punch the face on execution. So it doesn't matter that the singing is a hackneyed screamer's faux despair or the keening of a twerp; the brain suppresses both the same way it kills the out-of-kilter half of vision in someone who is walleyed. If you think there's any genuine emotion , you're confusing it with disciplined reflexes and mimicry.

Hi Everyone, I got some good news yesterday when I went in for treatment. The results from my CT scan earlier this week show a significant reduction in size of my abdominal lymph nodes and with the nodules in/around my liver. There is some minor growth in the nodules in my lungs, but these are…
I linked to this back in November when it was in beta and I've been using it since then very happily. Check it out – unlike other contact managers I've tried in the past it actually delivers on what is promises.
I'm a very happy Lightroom user but I rarely get artistic in it (mostly minor touch-up). There is a lot more fun stuff I can learn.
Looks gorgeous to me! I'd love to read a dpreview of this. I'd like to see a camera-only comparison against the iPhone 6 too.
I love in-depth pieces like this. A lot of TLC went into this feature and it feels nice to use (although when I launched the official Twitter client to check it out I actually had trouble finding it – click into the photo/camera, then you can switch to video).
Filed under "I guess you can get used to anything", drinking the oral contrast for my CT scan doesn't seem so bad today.
Seeing that framegrab of how open Lockette is just before Wilson released the ball… I still don't like the play call, but I see it more as a great play by Butler more than a mistake by Wilson.
I've never used a case for my iPhone(s) previously, but I picked up one of these a few weeks ago and I like it. I particularly like the way the plastic stops at the metal edge leaving the rounded glass edge fully exposed (so you get a nice smooth finger-on-rounded-glass feeling when using the back gesture). Granted this reduces protection, but I mainly wanted something to make the phone less slippery.
I went with white for my space gray phone, it is pretty translucent and barely lightens the gray color. (thanks Dave)

Sofia, Bulgaria, July 5, 2012 – Finding the balance between physical power and technical skills has made the rallies longer and men's volleyball more enjoyable to watch. In women's volleyball, on the other hand, they are trying to bring in more powerful players, so back-row attack and jump-serve are becoming a serious part of the game. These are the most relevant changes in the game over the recent years, according to Bernardo Rezende, coach of the men's national team of Brazil.
"I have been with this team for 12 years and there has always been a lot of pressure," Bernardinho continues. "Some of the players are getting older, but I think the most important thing is keeping their attitude, their mind and their spirit as if they are amateurs in their youth. I am proud of them because they are still working hard and they are still showing the will to be one of the best teams in the world."
Rezende also comments on the favorites to win the 2012 World League with the Finals taking place this week in Sofia. Poland is playing very consistently and is one of the favorites for the gold medal here, according to the Brazilian coach. Cuba is also showing strength and more confidence. The team that plays well and wins the World League for sure will gain more confidence ahead of the Olympics.
Bernardo "Bernardinho" Rezende is a former setter who finished fifth at the 1980 Olympics and won silver at the 1982 World Championship and 1984 Olympics. As a coach, he worked in Italy before taking the helm of the Brazilian women's team from 1994 to 2000. He led them to two Olympic bronze medals and two World Grand Prix titles. His success continued after switching to the men's team in 2001 with Olympic gold in 2004 and silver in 2008, three World Championship titles and many more.

I love the zingy flavours of this curry. Fish such as haddock and whiting are affordable and can all be used here, so try them instead of cod – just ask your fishmonger to remove the skin and bones. You could also quite easily use chicken instead of fish, though bear in mind that it would require a longer cooking time. I have suggested adding sugar snap peas and baby corn but you could add sliced peppers, sweet potato or peas, if you wish.
Serves 4
250g (9oz) basmati rice, well rinsed
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 shallots, peeled and finely sliced
3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
400ml (14fl oz) coconut milk
200ml (7fl oz) vegetable stock
Juice of 2 limes
1 tbsp Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla)
1 tsp brown sugar 150g (5oz) sugar snap peas
100g (31⁄2oz) baby corn, sliced lengthways
3–4 fish fillets (600g/1lb 5oz in total), cut into 2.5cm (1in) cubes
Good handful of basil and coriander leaves
Pour the rice into a cup, check the level it comes to, then pour into a cooking pot. Use the same cup to measure out twice the amount of water and pour this over the rice. Place over a medium–high heat with the lid on for about 15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Take off the heat, fluff up with a fork and place the lid back on until you are ready to serve.
While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a separate cooking pot over a medium–high heat and add the shallots. Fry for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the red curry paste and fry for a further minute or so, stirring to coat the shallots.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock and bring to a steady boil, simmering for 8–10 minutes. Add the lime juice, fish sauce and brown sugar. Stir in the sugar snap peas and baby corn and simmer for 3 minutes.
Add in the fish pieces and simmer for 3–5 minutes until just cooked. Stir through some of the basil and coriander leaves before serving the curry in bowls over rice. Garnish with the last few basil and coriander leaves.

The first of the Most Anticipated Games of 2009 That Got Their
Release Pushed Back Until 2010 arrives, and makes an early argument for this
being the greatest year for games ever.
Set two years after the first title, Mass Effect 2 sees you return as decorated military hero
Commander Sheppard and – non-spoiler alert – are killed about two minutes into
the game. Don't worry though: you're resurrected by Cerberus, a shadowy
pro-human organisation who are fighting against invaders that threaten all life
in the galaxy. And that's one of the things that raises Mass Effect 2 above the general RPG herd:
there's a massive level of political intrigue between Cerberus and the Galactic
Council, not to mention other species who see Cerberus as a borderline fascist
organisation. This time around Sheppard's not just worried about the external
threat, but also has to consider how far can he trust the people around him –
not to mention how to convince all comers that he's trying to help. And every decision counts.
Not much needed fixing from the original game, although
there are a few welcome tweaks. The conversation trees are still wonderfully
easy to navigate (which is good, since you'll be doing a LOT of talking); the
voice acting's exceptionally good; and the artwork is stunningly good (except for
the occasionally creepily uncanny-valley-esque eyes of the characters). The first-person-shooter combat system is massively improved, though with
much improved AI (so good, in fact, that you can
quite often sit back and rely on your team to take out enemies – although
where's the fun in that?). And if you don't feel like going on story
missions there's an entire galaxy to explore, upgrades to buy/build, and a hell
of a lot of very talkative folks out there with whom to discuss events of the day. The
only minus is the frustratingly long load times, but in any case you'll want to set aside a weekend or two before getting on board the starship Normandy again.

Back around 1970, when I was about halfway through my undergraduate education and just starting to really appreciate mathematics, I was lucky enough to make the acquaintance of a professor named George Booth, who was then and still remains the best teacher I ever had in my life, and who seemed to my young eyes to be familiar with every mathematics textbook that had ever been written. He was my first and best mentor, and just sitting and talking to him was immensely educational. One day — I think it was in my senior year — we were talking about mathematics beyond college, and he suggested I take a look at a three-volume set of paperback-sized books edited by Thomas Saaty called Lectures in Modern Mathematics. He warned me in advance that they were written at a fairly high level but felt that I could nonetheless get something out of them. So of course I immediately checked them out of the university library and flipped through them, and I thought they were a revelation: each volume contained six essays by leading experts on various areas of mathematics, all of them written for non-specialists in the particular subject matter. A number of them went right over my head, of course, but some were, at least in substantial part, quite accessible, and looking over them gave me a wonderful glimpse of subjects that I had only vaguely heard of, if I had even heard of them at all. Indeed, one of the essays, written by Kaplansky on Lie Algebras, was such a beautiful, clear and compelling account of this topic that it influenced my decision to study Lie algebras in graduate school (and eventually write a thesis on the subject).
The book now under review made me recall Saaty's work. Like the Saaty trilogy, each chapter of the Krantz-Parks book is an essay on some area or problem that has some current interest. Specifically, the topics covered are: the four color problem; mathematics of finance; Ramsey theory; dynamical systems; the Plateau problem; Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry; special relativity; wavelets; RSA cryptography; the P versus NP problem; primality testing; the foundations of mathematics; Fermat's last theorem; the Poincaré conjecture.
Of course, there are considerable differences between this book and the Saaty volumes, chief among them being that the chapter-essays here are pitched at a much lower level than the ones in Saaty; while the latter was clearly addressed to people with some mathematical sophistication, the authors of this book state in the preface that one of its goals "is to help non-mathematicians appreciate this part of the intellectual pie and perhaps to develop some taste for the saga and journey that is mathematics."
If by "non-mathematician" the authors mean somebody who is not a professional mathematician but who has some background in the subject — the obvious example here being students, particular mathematics majors — then this goal has been met. All the chapters in this book should be quite accessible to a junior or senior mathematics major, and much of the book could be read by people with even less background. I do think, however, that some prior background in proof-based mathematics is necessary for reading this book: the authors do not shy away from fairly detailed mathematical discussion, and proofs are not avoided. So, a person without any mathematical maturity might find a lot of the discussion here somewhat heavy-going.
Each chapter begins at the beginning, but covers a fair amount of ground. The chapter on Fermat's Last Theorem, for example, starts with the very basic definitions but yet moves through a discussion of elliptic curves and the modular group. This chapter, like all the others, ends with useful sections titled "A Look Back" and "References and Further Reading", respectively. The first of these sections provides, in each chapter, a quick summary and some further discussion. In the second, the authors give a number of references, often fairly sophisticated and not always in English. For example, in the chapter on non-Euclidean geometry the references include, in addition to several junior/senior-level geometry texts like Greenberg's Euclidean and non-Euclidean Geometries, two papers by Beltrami in the original Italian. For the chapter on RSA, only journal articles are listed.
In view of the fact that things are actually proved here and that the references are likely to be above the head of people without mathematical training, I would imagine that the optimal non-professional audience for this book would consist of mathematics majors who have either started to take or will shortly start to take upper-level courses. I should emphasize, though, that it is not only students who can benefit from this book. Particularly in these days of increased specialization, my guess is most any faculty member can find something in this book that is new to him or her. I certainly did: when I first got this book and idly glanced at the table of contents, I thought the inclusion of a chapter on mathematical finance was somewhat quixotic. That's because, however, the only thing I really knew about this subject was some boring formulas for computing interest; I had never heard of the Nobel prize-winning work of Black and Scholes on option pricing. The authors start this chapter at the very beginning, with a quick survey of ancient financial mathematics and then the definition of "compound interest", and in the space of about thirty pages give the reader a rough idea of what Black-Scholes is all about.
What quibbles I have with the book are few and relatively minor. There were, for example, a few times where I would have liked to have seen a bit more discussion of a topic. For example, in the chapter on Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, the authors discuss hyperbolic geometry and use models to demonstrate its consistency. They do not, however, mention that hyperbolic geometry has current applications in other branches of mathematics; in fact they say, in the "Look Back" section of the chapter, that it was Riemann who "really put non-Euclidean geometry into a broad and profound context", and then talk briefly about the use of Riemannian geometry in relativity theory (thus providing a segue to the next chapter on relativity theory). While I certainly can't dispute the importance of Riemannian manifolds, I wonder if this discussion might not give students the impression that hyperbolic geometry is merely some intellectual curiosity and does not itself have significance in modern mathematics (or, for that matter, fields outside of mathematics such as art; Escher's work could also have been mentioned here).
In addition, from a stylistic perspective, there were one or two occasions where the existence of two different authors seemed jarringly obvious. For example, on page 205, in the chapter on RSA cryptography, we read: "Of course we know, thanks to Euclid, that there are infinitely many primes." The reader is then directed to a four-line footnote in which this result is given a very rapid and succinct proof. Then, about fifty pages later, in the chapter on primality testing, the infinitude of primes is discussed again. This time, the reader is not assumed to even know who Euclid was — there is a brief historical discussion — and the infinitude of primes is given a much more leisurely proof in the body of the text, as though it had never been mentioned before. Even more curiously, in neither of these two discussions is there a reference to the other. (There were also some other occasions where I thought that some cross-referencing from one chapter to another might have been useful.)
As I said, however, these are quibbles, and do not seriously detract from the overall value of this book. It is clearly and invitingly written, and addresses not only some of the current issues in mathematics but also some history and some indication of the human side of the subject. The final chapter, for example, describes the very interesting events involving Grigori Perelman, who won, and refused, the Fields Medal for his solution to the Poincaré Conjecture; another chapter discusses Gödel (even down to identifying his favorite movie — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs — and acknowledging that "It is not known which is Gödel's favorite dwarf.") There is, in short, a lot of interesting material in this book.
There are other interesting and informative books for non-mathematicians about various areas and problems of mathematics: see, for example, Ian Stewart's Concepts of Modern Mathematics and Keith Devlin's Mathematics: The New Golden Age. Both of these are excellent books, written by accomplished authors known for their expository skills. There is some (but by no means total) overlap in coverage between these books and the book under review. However, they were written in 1975 and 1988, respectively, so there is considerable value in a more modern account, particularly one, like the book under review, that seems to be written at a slightly higher level of mathematical sophistication than either of these two.
For these reasons, it is clear to me that this book belongs in any good university library. It is also a book that should be at least looked at by any faculty member who teaches upper-level courses and has frequent contact with math majors. If this book had been available back in 1970, there is no doubt in my mind that George would have urged me to read it; I certainly intend to recommend it to some of my students in the near future.

Shopping, Honolulu
6 Reviews
6 Reviews
Favorite thing: The Aloha Flea Market (go here first before you do your shopping in Hawaii). Many manufacturers and vendors who cannot afford to rent a space in Waikiki, sell their goods at the Aloha Flea Market. More importantly, they pass their savings on to you. The merchants set up tents in the parking stalls surrounding the Aloha Stadium. Don't forget to bargain! You should good walking shoes and bring sunscreen. Go early before it gets hot. The Aloha Flea Market is open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.
Favorite thing:
that's the tourist area. Wonderful ald lively place, with great shopping centres
(I recomend you the Royal Hawaian) and breathtaking beaches. By bus or by the
'reliable' (damn it!) waikiki trolley you can go to Ala Moana Shopping Centre:
it's a dream!!!!!!!!
Fondest memory:
I feel a little bit ashamed in saying it, but....the beautiful shopping centres such as Ala Moana!! Then sipping a fantastic cold cappuccino with wipped cream at Starbucks, getting lost due to that stupid Wakiki Trolley!! Staying at my cousin's place, eating the pumpkin pie, her wonderful family, never finding something not fat to eat,missing Italian food..LOL...Man,I loved there and would go visit again at any time :)))
Favorite thing: Go to a fabric shop! No, really! I mean, think about all those different Aloha Shirt / Muu Muu print choices. When you go to a fabric shop, you can see TONS of colors and patterns. At the very least, you can make your own Lava Lava (pareau!) This photo is taken at Fabric Mart located on Kalakaua Ave., near Waikiki and Daie!
Favorite thing:
The best place to get souviners is the Aloha Flea Market. It is held every Wed, Sat & Sun at Aloha Stadium between Pearl Harbor and Pearl City. Plan on spending the day.
Fondest memory:
My wedding was on the beach at sunset on a private beach on Barber's Naval Air Station.
Favorite thing:
again fun to shop in hawaii due to it's sales tax of 4.71%, a way lower than the mainland sales taxes like 9.25% in california. lots of shopping opportunities here like shopping in the mile long touristy kalakua avenue, the largest outdoor mall in the mall, the ala moana center, the premium outlets of waikele, the International Market Place, the Waikiki Town Center, the hug Ward Centers of Victoria Ward and a lot more. you will see lots of japanese and south korean tourists taking advantage of the difference in price going to hawaii to shop ans since it is just a 7 hour plane ride from japan and 8 hour plane ride from south korea, is cheaper to go to than in the mainland.
Fondest memory:
Website: www.hawaiiweb.com
Favorite thing: relax here with a coffee! Aloha Tower Mall may not be THE shopping mall (for shopping, find your way to the Ala Moana Shopping Centre), but the ocean view is good.

Push (2009) Starring: Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle, Djimon Hounsou, Maggie Siff, Scott Michael Campbell Directed by: Paul McGuigan U.S. Opening Date: February 6th, 2009
Push is an exciting action-thriller set in the modern-day world of psychic espionage.
Nick (Chris Evans) and Cassie (Dakota Fanning) are among a group of unique individuals who have inherited and developed specials psychic abilities that originated from human experiments conducted by the Nazi regime during World War II. They find themselves on the run from Carver (Djimon Hounsou) and his troops, part of a clandestine government agency determined to hunt them down to harness their powers for evil.
Directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin and Gangster No.1) and written by David Bourla.
It sounds a bit like a mix between Heroes and Jumper to be honest, so we're not too excited. But Push has something Jumper didn't have, namely the naturally talented Chris Evans, better known as the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. Evans really, um, shone bright in those movies and he might just end up being the best thing in Push as well. (Incidentally, is anyone else here as alarmed as we are by how quickly Dakota Fanning is growing up? Yikes!)

Welcome to Dartmouth's most influential daily
Each day, Dartblog and its team of alumni and students bring you news and commentary from Hanover and the world at large. Read our iPhone edition here.

Professor Jon Appleton On Provost Folt
As we saw in yesterday's post, the administration missed an exceptional opportunity to hold fast to rigorous grading standards when then-Dean of the Faculty (and now Provost) Carol Folt caved in to student demands to modify their low grades in Music 3. As a result of this breach of academic freedom, renowned Professor Jon Appleton left Dartmouth. I wrote to Prof. Appleton the other day for an update on the events the led to his departure from Hanover and his view of the state of the College today.
March 6, 2011
Hi Joe:
When Folt changed all the grades to "pass" without ever having looked at the work or having spoken to me, I went to Jim Wright to complain. Wright and I had known each other as he came to Dartmouth a year after I did (1968). He said I shouldn't make so much of the violation of my academic freedom as I was part of the "Dartmouth family." He recalled our early days when we used to drink scotch in the faculty lounge. He was at his paternalistic best. But then I did write to the faculty and this was picked up by the state and national press.
When this article and others appeared Folt, college attorney Donin and former Provost Scherr called a meeting and threatened me with disciplinary action if I did not cease my public campaign to reveal their violation of my academic freedom.
At my own expense I hired attorney Bill Clauson to come to the meeting to represent me. The meeting ended abruptly and Folt, Dolan and Scherr left the room. They had hoped to intimidate me but they realized that they had no grounds and that their inquisition would only fan the fires of controversy. Neither Clauson nor I ever heard from them again. Clauson neotiated the terms of my "early retirement."
Joe, I taught at Dartmouth forty-three years. The first forty were a gift and the last three a nightmare. I had the pleasure of working with honorable people: Presidents Dickey, Kemeny, McLaughlin and Freedman. I had the respect and I respected many deans: Reiser, Penner, Lahr and others. I served as chair of my department four different times.
I consider the current administration morally bankrupt. They neglect the undergraduate experience because the money (private, government and foundations) can be found in the medical establishment. The hospital, clinic, research (including Folt's biological sciences graduate programs) are the dog wagging the tail of the college.
What is so objectionable to me is the dishonesty of their representation of the fiscal reality of higher education. The current administration is protected by layers of bureaucrats and attorneys.
Perhaps you and I are stuck with ideals and standards no longer relevant. So be it.
By the way, I don't think Kim cares one whit about the education of undergraduates… nor does Folt. Students are an inconvenient necessity in their quest for higher positions. Want to bet how long Kim stays at Dartmouth?
If you have more questions please feel free to ask.
With best wishes,

Pharmacy owners in Flushing said they are unable to meet the demand because [there are not enough masks available].
Peter Goo, a pharmacy owner, said most people are not buying masks for themselves because there are no SARS cases in Flushing. They are buying masks for their families and relatives in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Since SARS hit some parts of Asia in March, the two pharmacies owned by Goo have sold at least 20,000 masks. The regular ones are $2.99 a piece, and the ones that provide extra protection are $15 a piece.
Molly Tu, another pharmacy owner on Main Street, said masks are the most popular items besides allergy medicine.
So far at least four local organizations, including the Flushing Chinese Business Association, have joined a campaign to collect thousands of masks for the Department of Health in Taiwan.
According to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, the Taiwanese-Americans in New York have sent 260,000 protective masks, 6,000 surgical masks and 200,000 injectors to Taiwan.
The Taiwan Center in Flushing is also collecting a donation of 5,000 masks and China Airlines and Eva Air will ship them to Taiwan free of charge.
A Chinese-American postal worker, Hsien Si-min, bought 1,500 masks to send to her sister, a nurse who cares for SARS patients in Taipei.
All the masks in the pharmacies in Flushing have been sold out for weeks, including the ones for construction workers.
A pharmacy owner said he was told by wholesalers that a delivery date can not be guaranteed, and 3M, a major mask manufacturer, told him that new shipments have to be sent overseas first.
According to the World Health Organization, there are at least 7,400 SARS cases and 577 deaths. Translated from Chinese by Larry Tung

Hypoxia-regulated retinal glial cell-specific promoter for potential gene therapy in disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 21960554 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: Retinal Müller cells span the retina and secrete several trophic factors and represent the functional link between blood vessels and neurons, making them attractive targets for gene therapy. Therefore, a hypoxia-regulated, retinal glial cell-specific vector was constructed and tested for its response to hypoxia. METHODS: A hybrid promoter containing domains of human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and several hypoxia-responsive and aerobically silenced elements (HRSE) was incorporated separately into plasmid vectors for generation of self-complementary adeno-associated virus. Müller cells trasfected with plasmids or virus were compared with other cell lines using standard METHODS: The mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) was used to analyze retinas from mice exposed to high oxygen or room air to evaluate the induction of the regulated promoter. RESULTS: The regulated promoter was silenced under aerobic conditions in comparison with unregulated promoter in Müller cells. Hypoxia induced a 12-fold and 16-fold increase in promoter activity in primary Müller cells and human Müller cell lines, respectively. In the OIR model, intravitreal injection of the regulated promoter at postnatal day 7 (P7) resulted in high levels of green fluorescent protein expression only in retinal Müller cells at P17. GFP expression was absent in retinas of mice only exposed to room air. In vivo studies confirm normoxia silencing, hypoxic induction, and cell specificity of the regulated promoter in the mouse retina. CONCLUSIONS: This hypoxia-regulated, retinal glial cell-specific AAV vector provides a platform for gene therapy within regions of retinal hypoxia which are found in diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. |

Stock Price Volatility in a Multiple Security Overlapping
A number of empirical studies have reached the conclusion that stock price volatility cannot be fully explained within the standard dividend discount model. This paper proposes a resolution based upon a model that contains both a random supply of risky assets and finitely lived agents who trade in a multiple security environment. As the analysis shows there exist 2^K equilibria when K securities trade. The low volatility equilibria have properties analogous to those found in the infinitely lived agent models of Campbell and Kyle (1991) and Wang (1993, 1994). In contrast, the high volatility equilibria have very different characteristics. Within the high volatility equilibria very large price variances can be generated with very small supply shocks. Adding securities to the economy further reduces the required supply shocks. Using previously established empirical results the model can reconcile the data with supply shocks that are less than 10% as large as observed return shocks. These results are shown to hold even when the dividend process is mean reverting.

Thread: Meth Labs- revisited
Meth Labs- revisited
Anyone seeing a rise in these clandestine labs? Years ago we had numerous incidents involving drug labs. They seem to be either on a comeback or just getting attention again.
They are on the rise in Michigan...
CLIMAX, Mich. (AP) - Police working to stop the spread of highly
addictive methamphetamine are staking out sites around the state
that sell anhydrous ammonia - a fertilizer that's a key ingredient
in making the drug.
As farmers prepare their cornfields for spring planting, police
are watching places that sell fertilizer, hoping to catch meth lab
builders who steal the chemical. And series of new laws to take
effect in April, meanwhile, aims to keep manufacture and use of the
drug from spreading.
Jim Leach, a farmer and fire chief in the 791-person village of
Climax, recalled a day in November 2002 when he was cleaning on his
1,100-acre farm and saw state police pull up to the farming co-op
across the street.
Leach knew what had happened: Thieves once again had broken in
to steal anhydrous ammonia from the co-op's 1,000-gallon tank.
"I've handled anhydrous for 20 years. You wear goggles and
gloves and if you make a mistake you get hurt," Leach, 52, told
The Detroit News for a Sunday story.
Recent thefts of the common fertilizer has the Michigan
Agribusiness Association warning local farmers about the sparked
interest among drug manufacturers, the Cheboygan Daily Tribune
Meth is a powdery white or brown drug that can be smoked,
snorted, injected or eaten. The drug, also known as crank, ice or
crystal, creates a longer high than cocaine or heroin, lasting up
to 18 hours.
A June 2003 report by the state's Office of Drug Control Policy
showed 660 people were treated statewide for methamphetamine or
amphetamine use in 2002. In 1999, 311 people were reportedly
treated statewide.
About 5 percent to 10 percent of the state's population have
used methamphetamines or similar drugs at least once, according to
state surveys.
The number of Michigan methamphetamine labs discovered has risen
from two in 1998 to 186 in 2003 - a handful of which were in
Oakland, Wayne and Livingston counties. There have been 14 meth lab
busts this year in Michigan.
"Just five years ago, Michigan didn't have a methamphetamine
problem," Michigan State Police Detective Lt. Tony Saucedo said.
"Because the drug can be manufactured with a laundry list of
household chemicals and supplies, with the exception of anhydrous
ammonia, users see it as an easy high and big bang for the buck."

No change in the number of responses to drug labs, but, that doesnt mean that there arent more of them out there. I do know that there is a larger effort, at least in this area, to increase awareness and educate first responders to the dangers of, what to look for, and how to handle, clandestine drug labs. I am quite sure that there are several clandestine drug labs in my response area, but, so far nothing has happened in any of them that has warranted a response. I hope it stays that way.

We seem to hear about them, more and more, around here. So far, we've not had the misfortune to run up on one; they mostly seem to be out in the county areas. Bad, bad stuff.
Local law enforcement has told us that more and more of these people are going mobile with auto trunk size "cookers". That way the smell can't pinpoint them.
The leo protocol is if they pull over a vehicle and find a porta lab in it, they will page us out. also there is a range that people may be evacuated.

E229LT, just saw a 5 page article in Newsday yesterday that focused on
meth use. It pointed out that it is relatively easy to make, can be made almost anywhere (even the back of a pick-up) and that law enforcement is predicting meth use is raging towards the East Coast.
As I "vollie" in a neighborhood where there is a significant drug trade, I am looking into getting our guys educated on what to watch out for. Just from my basic knowledge of the ingredients used, this is some bad SH&*...I know the cops out in AZ wear SCBA when they do meth lab raids so that tells you something in the air is not quite what you want to be sucking into your lungs.
I'll be keeping an eye on the forums for more info on this topic.

To follow up on the last poster's mention of Newsday, here's the second part's link:
This story is about an OK State Trooper killed by an ex-firefighter (he had been fired because they found his fingerprints on "lab" equipment in the firehouse).
"Malone was fired from his job by city officials in October, a month after discovery in the firehouse of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia bearing his fingerprints. By December, he had been arrested twice on drug and weapons charges, and had gotten out of jail on bond only four days before the trooper was killed."

I've seen a lot more "mainstream" media attention to the problem. No great increase in the number of labs - the numbers were high to begin with.
There are so many that the S.O. has been known to destroy fencerow labs in place and leave a business card for the bad guys to find later.ullrichk

Michigan response
Michigan has conducted training programs on meth labs for first responders. They are thru the state police. Be very careful when you find one of these. they are very dangerous.
Stay safe,

Here in Arkansas, it does seem like more people are cooking meth than ever before. However, it concerns me that the folks the police catch cooking the stuff don't exactly look smart enough to have passed a high school chemistry class... let alone cook drugs. Of course, that could be why the police catch them.
I work in a bedroom community of about 14,000 people. Unfortunately, many citizens think that their city is immune from drug-related problems. Last year, we had a meth lab explode in a house where a handful of children were staying. The police have also found at least one rolling meth lab in recent history. The lesson... no one is immune.

The labs are still in abundance it is just the fire departments aren'y called in too often unless the are buring. The police have their own response teams to deal with the clean-up (it is all evidence) and they really don't won't too many people poking through the stuff. We have been notified of some raids approx. 20 minutes before they happen so we will be prepared in the event of mishap. Busts go down around us all the time and we are not aware until we read them in the newspaper. The big things we are finding in cooking facilities are vans - mobile is better. U-Stor It type mini warehouses are a good place because of the monthly rent and there are alot of them. We also have a lot of midnight dumpers abandoning hazardous materials in these types of buildings. More recently we have had meth labs in the "hot sheet" type motels who rent daily and weekly. It's nothing to hang a do not disturb sign on the door for a couple of days.

There does seem to be an increase in clandestine labs, they're also seems to be more mobile labs. I've had the misfortune of running into a fixed lab. We were called out on a structure fire, The idiot doing the cooking had a flash fire, it's a wonder it didn't kill him. The heat from the flash fire was hot enough to melt electrical outlet covers and his police scanner, we were on that all night, because we had control of the scene, law enforcement didn't require a search warrant to go through the structure. We've also responded to a mobile lab "just in case". I personnally could do without them, they can be extremely dangerous.

We have them here in Kansas too. They dumped their trash on one of my farms last year. Was out hunting pheasants in the fall and found these trash bags with Ether, and sudafed bottles and other junk. Called sherrif and let them take care of it. We have yet to respond to a fire with one. I was giving a class at one of our stations and we talked about Meth and what to look for. The guys at that station informed me that they didn't have that problem in their area. 2 weeks later a farmer that is on Oxygen for bad lungs picked up a gott cooler he found on the road about 3 miles from this station and got overcome by NH3 had to spend some time in the hospital. Guess they didn't know what their neighbors were doing. They had cooked the meth right in the middle of the dirt road. If you have ever had a whiff of NH3 you couldn't believe that anyone could stand and fill a gott cooler with a hose and not be overcome. I can't stand to bleed the lines on my applicator let alone open the 11/4" line full of it. They don't have many brain cells left though.
Well considering my county is #1 in New York State for meth lab busts, we know a thing or two about them, I've been on stand by for State PD as they did a raid a few times, and had a fire in a meth lab, not pretty stuff.

Yes drug labs are on the rise. They bust 3 or 4 a month in the county where I live in Oklahoma (Haskell). We have had 7 fires in the last two years caused by cooking meth. No injuries yet thank god. I least I work in a small town and know most of the places where this stuff is made and who is making it. I am also a reserve police officer so that helps me stay in the know. We take traing meth labs at least once a year. They say around here one in three fires envolve a meth lab or the chemical to cook the stuff. The police and courts dont seem to be able to stop it. Example: There is a guy in my town that got busted for cooking before he even went to trial he was busted two more times for cooking and they got his son twice. I say some stats that said in 1985 the police in oklahoma busted like 100 meth labs by 2000 its was like 700 these numbers probably arent exact but they are close. So yes I would say meth is on the rise here at lest.
Growing like grass in my neck of the woods. Been on several calls where you turn around and you are face to face with a Narc. Always on the lookout, but when that happens, your knees tend to get weak. Always looking for the blue bottles! The really sad part of the whole ordeal (other than having to deal with it on the fireground) is the fact that roughly only 4-5% of those addicted usually make a full recovery. Not good odds......
Watch out for those individuals who mow their grass at midnight.YGBSM!

Even up here in the middle of no where in Canada we are seeing them creep closer to us. Not more than a couple of months ago we responded to the boys in blue taking down a lab. We are trying to get procedures in place to work with them with decon, suits etc.... Sat in on a session with the boys in blue, told us how to make it(two different ways), what to use, what people look like when they are tweaked out on it and it is unbelieveable most of the stuff you can buy at the store. Who thinks up this stuff???? Told us about an agent that didn't wear proper protective clothing...ingested some of it and is now off on LTD with flash backs of this stuff. Apparently it doesn't leave the body too quickly, so occassionally the body absorbs some of the leftovers and flashback central. PPE thats why we wear it! EMS gloves thats why we wear it!
Lets all go home at the end of the day....

Should I still be worried about swine flu, or is flu season over? Now allergy season instead?
I'm hearing a lot of sneezing (and some coughing) at my child's school and at my work, and am wondering if this is another wave of the flu going around, or just allergy season starting? Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the H1N1 vaccine in the fall (it wasn't available in our area -- not at pediatrician's office or nearby clinics). Is it still necessary to get that vaccination?

The following example, GO_DIR.COM, contains two commands: $ Set Default [perry.accounts] $ directory Instead of using each command alone, you can execute GO_DIR.COM with the @ command: $ @Go_Dir This command tells the DCL command interpreter to read the file GO_DIR.COM and executes the commands in the file. So the command interpreter sets your default directory to[PERRY.ACCOUNTS] and issues the DIRECTORY command. Note: DCL means Digital Command Language. (sorry) Formatting Command Procedures ---------- ------- ---------- Use the DCL command CREATE to create and format a command procedure. When you name the command procedure, use the default file type COM. If you use this default, you don't have to use the file type when you execute the procedure with the @ command. Command procedures contain DCL commands that you want the DCL command intepreter to execute and data lines that are used by these commands. Commands must begin with a dollar sign. You can start the command string just after the dollar sign. Data lines do not start with a dollar sign.h|Data lines are used as input data for commands.
