094 GENETICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF PROTEIN GLYCOSYLATION IN CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI A Merkx-Jacques1, S Vijayakumar1, M Demendi1, D Ratnayake1, C Dozois2, C Creuzenet1 BACKGROUND: C. jejuni produces numerous glycoproteins, including flagellins, which are important for virulence. The flagellins harbour pseudaminic acid (PA) whereas other glycoproteins harbour diacetamidobacillosamine (DAB). We are investigating the genetics and biochemistry of protein glycosylation in C. jejuni to identify the enzymes involved, and determine their activity and roles in virulence. We focused on two homologous pathways comprising each a putative dehydratase, aminotransferase and acetyltransferase, namely {Cj1293, Cj1294 and Cj1298} and {Cj1120c, Cj1121c and Cj1123c}.
1Microbiology and Immunology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario; 2INRS-Institut Armand Frappier, Laval, Quebec
METHODS: All enzymes were overexpressed and purified before monitoring their activity by capillary electrophoresis. The cj1121c and cj1294 genes were disrupted by a chloramphenicol resistance cassette and virulence-related phenotypes were investigated.
RESULTS: We determined that Cj1293 is a UDP-GlcNAc C6 dehydratase. It leads to the formation of 4-keto-arabino and 4-keto-gluco intermediates. We showed that Cj1294 and Cj1121c are aminotransferases that use the arabino and gluco intermediates generated by Cj1293 as substrates, respectively. Both activities are present in C. jejuni extracts, with preponderance of the Cj1121c activity. We showed that Cj1123c is a N-acetyltransferase that uses the Cj1121c reaction product as a substrate. The cj1294 and cj1121c mutants are non-motile but the cj1121c mutant produces normal flagellins and flagella, whereas the cj1294 mutant does not. cj1121c is important for interactions with Caco2 cells whereas cj1294 is not. Finally, cj1121c is essential for colonization of chicken intestine and for the glycosylation of proteins other than flagellins.
DISCUSSION: Our data indicate that Cj1293 and Cj1294 are involved in flagellin glycosylation via PA biosynthesis, and that Cj1121c and Cj1123c are involved in general protein glycosylation via DAB biosynthesis. The data demonstrate a cross-talk between both pathways, with a preponderant role of Cj1121c on virulence, hence identifying Cj1121c as a target for inhibitor development.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks opened lower Thursday after a disappointing report about the number of people seeking jobless benefits.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 50 points to 13,121. The Standard & Poor s 500, which earlier this week hit its highest point in four years during a trading day, was down five to 1,409. The Nasdaq composite index fell 12 to 3,062.
The Labor Department said the four-week average for people seeking unemployment assistance rose slightly last week, a reminder that any recovery in the jobs market remains modest and uneven.
Major indexes in Germany, France, Greece and Spain were also down. Greece is trying to implement the reforms that Germany is demanding so it can keep its rescue loans, but the process has been slow.
China reported lower manufacturing activity, and the Bank of China said that profit growth fell sharply this year.
In early U.S. trading, materials stocks and utilites fell the most, while health care stocks were down only slightly.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve released minutes from a meeting that suggested the central bank will step in with additional help for the economy unless the recovery picks up dramatically.

Death Toll Likely to Rise in Algeria
Description:While the hostage crisis is over, the death toll continues to rise at this remote Algerian gas plant. At least 23 hostages - including several foreigners - died during a daring raid by Islamist militants that began last week. Government officials now say the final toll will likely be higher, and an Algerian tv station said 25 bodies were recently found inside the plant. With so much blood shed French foreign minister Laurent Fabius defended Algeria's handling of the crisis. (1:31)

Here's my view since I was originally going to purchase the XB500, but ended up going with these HAS500s. Now, I also ordered the XB500 and it will be here tomorrow.
When I first opened the HAS500s and listened to them, I wasn't blown away. I thought I bought just an average pair of headphones that all these people were hyping up. I put the Sennheiser Adidas blue pads on them so they look cool but I wasn't "wow'd" by the sound at all. However, after burning these in for over 100 hours now, I can tell you that they sound amazing. I was surprised to hear things in music that I hadn't noticed before. I'm blown away at how amazing the new Daft Punk album sounds with these. You can just tell that you're hearing music the way it was supposed to be heard, even though these aren't the most neutral phones you can get. For 90% of the music I listen to, I'm going to use these. I'm actually picking up another pair in gunmetal soon.
The reason I'm also getting the XB500 is because I also listen to some really bass heavy EDM... electro-house, glitch hop, and even some rap. Sure, I could probably get much better bass canons for $200+ CAD, but I found these at a good price. For this last 10% of music I like, I want bass that rattles my ears. Since I heard that the XB500 EQs nicely, and since the bass is already in them, and considering the price, buying these is a no-brainer for me. I also rockbox'd my sansa clip+ so I have great EQ options to work with.
tldr - For all quality, live instrument music that I want to listen to, I will use my HA-S500s. For synthesizer/bass heavy music, like some EDM stuff, where I want my ears to rattle, I will use my XB500s.
The s500 sound better with the blue paddle that you put it?

Honda Beat coming in 2013 - report
Could be based on the CR-Z
Critics have been longing for a successor to the S2000, but Honda has different plans as a new report is indicating a Beat will be launched in 2013.
According to Auto Express, the roadster will be based on the CR-Z and feature styling influenced by the OSM concept.
Engine options remain a bit of a mystery, but sources suggest power will be provided by a 1.3- or 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol. More interestingly, there is speculation the car could offer a dual-clutch transmission which is reportedly being adapted from the company's VFR1200F motorcycle.
Regardless of the final details, the Beat is expected to be offered internationally.

If this news is true, then it would be a good move from Honda, so long the CR-Z hybrid IMA setup is not implemented into it. It would prove to be a worthy successor to the S2000, and provide car buyers a worthy choice alongside the Mazda MX5.
Jun 20, 2011 2:03 am
The looks are ok but it's sad that they don't give it a drivetrain that would make it a proper successor to the S2000 ! Does anyone really want a new Del Sol ?
Jun 18, 2011 3:21 pm
where the damn powerfull v-tecs gone? I think honda is going to bankrupt with what boring, 1.blablabla engines.
Jun 18, 2011 7:50 am
The reason why the S2000 failed, apart from the practicality issue, was the high rrp. I don't see how this is going to be any different. Why buy a Honda when for a little more cash you could probably get into a Z4 or SLK.
Jun 18, 2011 5:53 am
Oh please bring the Beat back !!!! Really want to see a ultralight MR Honda once again !!
Jun 18, 2011 3:50 am
I also see the Del Sol in this car, but also see a slug. The problem with the S2000 for me was it just to small and uncomfortable. Not a daily driver as all honda should be.

in south east asia ..honda beat is a scooter, lol
but i think it will rival the FT86,bring it on..small,cheap,nimble sport car

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the Polish Szymanski family come from? What is the Polish Szymanski family crest and coat of arms? When did the Szymanski family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Szymanski family history? The surname Szymanski is of Polish origins. The name is derived from the personal name "Szymon," and the characteristic Polish suffix "-ski," meaning "son of." Thus, the name Szymanski means "son of Szymon."Spelling variations of this family name include: Sxymanski, Syzmanczewski, Syzmaniecki, Szzymaniecki, Szymanowicz, Szymanowski and many more. First found in Polesie, the largest province of Poland. It is inhabited by Ruthenians, called Polesians, of Ukrainian descent. The main towns are those of Brest Litovsk, Pinsk, Kobryn, Kamenets, Litovsk, and Luninets. It was in this province that the renowned Radziwills and Sapiehas held their vast estates. Wolczyn was the seat of the Czartoryski family. The surname became noted for its many branches in the region, each house acquiring a status and influence which was envied by the princes of the region. In their later history the name became a power unto themselves and were elevated to the ranks of nobility as they grew into this most influential family. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Szymanski research. Another 262 words(19 lines of text) covering the year 1460 is included under the topic Early Szymanski History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Szymanski Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name were: Szymanski Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Szymanski Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Szymanski Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
The Szymanski Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Szymanski Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 24 October 2014 at 14:29. Sign Up

MacLaren Teaches Chapter Leaders to Work Past Adversity
The Chapter Presidents' Luncheon at NTI 2007 in Atlanta marked an opportunity for national-level AACN leadership to recognize the work, effort and dedication of chapter leaders and for those leaders to learn from one man what it means to overcome obstacles.
Engage Life
The keynote speaker of the event was Jim MacLaren, an actor, writer, life coach and mentor. In 1985, a 22-year-old MacLaren, an all-American athlete and aspiring actor, was studying theater at the Yale School of Drama.
He was hit by a bus while he was riding his motorcycle home from a rehearsal in New York City. He was initially classified as dead on arrival at the hospital. During surgery to save his life, doctors amputated his left leg below the knee. He awoke from a coma eight days later and rehabilitated diligently.
MacLaren resumed his studies at Yale and started participating in triathlons. He became a world-class triathlete and set records in some of the toughest races in the world, including the New York City Marathon and the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. He routinely placed in the top third of the competitors, and paved the way for a new generation of disabled athletes.
In 1993, MacLaren suffered another tragic accident. Two miles into the bike leg of a triathlon in Mission Viejo, Calif., a traffic marshal misjudged MacLaren's speed at an approaching intersection. An automobile and MacLaren collided, and he was hurled into a signpost and broke his neck at the C5 vertebrae. The accident left him paralyzed.
MacLaren battled seemingly insurmountable obstacles as he recovered again. He has refused to cast himself as a victim and has learned to live beyond his body. During his recovery, he fostered an inner force that enabled him to encourage others to engage life.
Something Bigger in Everyone
He told the chapter presidents he considers himself blessed not only because of the enlightenment he achieved through his recoveries, studies and self-exploration, but also because through his experiences, he has learned there is something bigger in each of us.
He said his accidents have given him time to reflect – something we all have the capability to do. He encouraged the chapter presidents to think every day about something that makes them feel good about themselves.
"It is a powerful tool and gives you the chance to reconnect with yourself."
MacLaren said he understands the opportunity he has been given to motivate others and readily accepts the responsibility by offering his experiences as an example. He considers himself a work in progress, and said we all have a common human spirit and an infinite well of possibilities. He said what is amazing about his experiences and what he wanted to challenge everyone to think about are two things he has learned about life.
"We never know what our lives are going to look like, and as long as we accept it and move forward, we are always going to be OK," he said.
MacLaren said while we continually cycle around life events until we get there, the most important thing to remember is to follow one's knowledge, integrity and honesty.
"Self-knowledge is perhaps the most important aspect of us being human," he said. "We connect with people more through our wounds, vulnerability and fears, which can only start with knowledge of self."
MacLaren is currently working on his doctorate in mythology and depth psychology. He has also reclaimed some motor function of his limbs. In 2005, MacLaren received the ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award for his toughness of spirit and never-give-up attitude. He also established the Choose Living Foundation to support his philanthropic work and allow him to contribute his time and energy to help people in need.
Nellcor/Puritan Bennett/Tyco Healthcare has sponsored the Chapter Presidents' Luncheon since 1990.
NTI Chapter Leadership Development Workshop Speaker Manages Life's Chaos by Doodling
Carol Edmonston heals through the "open-eye meditation" of doodling.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Edmonston sat anxiously in the waiting room of her doctor's office preparing for radiation treatment. Unable to tolerate the anxiety anymore, she asked the receptionist for a piece of paper and a pen and began to doodle. From that point on, Edmonston would never be in a waiting room without these tools.
The inspirational speaker and two-time breast cancer "conquerer" (she prefers this term to survivor because it implies a different energy) spoke to attendees at the Chapter Leadership Development Workshop at NTI 2007 in Atlanta. At this first Sharon J. Connor Leadership Development Keynote Address, Edmonston discussed how doodling helps her to "manage the chaos that is part of all of our lives." The AACN Sharon J. Connor Fund was developed in the memory of Sharon J. Connor, a longtime AACN staff member who succumbed to breast cancer in 1997.
Live for Today
Edmonston, a contributor to " Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Survivor's Soul: Stories to Inspire, Support and Heal" and publisher of "Connections: The Sacred Journey Between Two Points and Create While You Wait... A Doodle Book For All Ages", encouraged listeners to stay "focused in the present moment." It is important to "live for today, remember yesterday and plan for tomorrow," she said.
Work-related stress is ever-present, and learning to "deal with the challenges and life's unexpected twists and turns" is important. It is "really important to take care of ourselves on the inside," said Edmonston, who joked with the audience that she occasionally practices "plastic baseball bat therapy."
Doodling, however, keeps Edmonston focused and grounded, and reduces her anxiety. Anybody can do it – in fact, her "idea of art is really paint-by-number," she said, eliciting a round of laughter from the audience.
Pushing attendees to "take care of that spirit and life within," Edmonston explained that doodling is a way to step "into a place that's really meditation" and it has "nothing to do with what you create [but] how you step into this moment of time," Edmonston said.
Edmonston asked attendees to sit up straight, take a deep breath and let it all out. She then asked everyone to begin and end a doodle outline in 5 seconds. She instructed the audience to then put the pen in the other hand and do the same exercise. "How did that feel?" she asked. Surprisingly, many people often feel more comfortable performing the task in the nondominant hand, Edmonston said, because there are no expectations.
'The Middle Is Where It's at'
Audience members were then treated to a 10-minute DVD she created called "Sacred Doodles". Peaceful music set the tone as images of Edmonston's doodles faded in and out on the projection screens. Attendees were instructed to breathe in and out, and all sat silently as a calmness permeated the large room, while some continued to doodle. "Life is an adventure … Trust the journey," the screen read.
While deep into doodling or watching the DVD, the attendees were roused by a ringing bell. Many attendees noticed how the mind wanders while doodling. Doodling, Edmonston said, allows one to focus on the present. "In the middle is where it's at … Your goal is not to let the present moment be the steppingstone to the future."
Edmonston recommended that chapters use the doodling exercise as a way to "bring yourselves together as one cohesive group." In addition, she encouraged attendees to take a deep breath before going in to see a patient, because "breathing is the most amazing tool." For more information, visit www.sacreddoodles.com.

BMW 545i Replacement Transmission Filter Information
The 545i is a popular design model that was manufactured by BMW. There are a lot of things that need to be maintained in order for the 545i to give its best performance. It is extremely important to always make sure that the transmission on your 545i is running properly, and one way to do that is to always make sure that your transmission filter stays unclogged. It should also be replaced frequently to avoid damage to your transmission. Most people recommend that a transmission filter is replaced at least every 30,000 miles that the 545i is driven or every two years, whichever one comes first. If the transmission filter gets clogged up it can cause a delay in shifting gears, and that could mess up the actual transmission. A replacement transmission filter usually costs around $100, but that depends on the owner of the 545i and the brand.
They are available for the following BMW 545i years: 2005, 2004, 05, 04. This part is also sometimes called BMW 545i Trans Filters. We stock transmission filter parts for most BMW models including 745i, 325i, 745Li, X5, 528i, 525i, 530i, 328i, 740iL, 750Li, 540i, 330i, 740i, 323i, 325xi, 318i, 330Ci, X3, 330xi, 645Ci, 335i, 550i, 325Ci, 750i, 535i, 750iL, 318ti, 325is, Z4, Z3, 335xi, 328xi, 735i, 650i, 328is, 528e, 850i, 635CSi, 325e and 760Li.

Eva Angelina, Mia Bangg, Trina Michaels, Ace (I), Daryn Darby, John E Depth, Morgan Simpson, Sledge Hammer, Derrick Pierce, Havana Ginger, Luccia (I), Tyler Knight
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
While the emphasis, at first appears to be on larger than normal jugs, a closer look reveals a release also firmly focused on interracial sex.
In the opener, Derrick Pierce hooks up with Havana Ginger, a mocha-colored Afro-Cuban delight who seems to have recently hit her performance stride. Her huge chocolate areola spill out of her cherry-red bra and look good enough to eat as they flop around in reverse cowgirl. Black cock lover Mia Bangg draws Ace while the similarly afflicted Trina Michaels does what she does best, riding big and beefy Sledge Hammer's tool for all she's worth.
Two bonus sex scenes featuring Eva Angelina and Luccia more than make up for Daryn and Morgan's solo masturbation stints.
Retailing: Havana and Trina are tried and true fan pleasers.

Arthur Agee
Arthur Agee | |
Born | Arthur Agee, Jr. October 22, 1972 Chicago, Illinois, U.S. |
Nationality | American |
Alma mater | Marshall Metro High School Arkansas State University |
Occupation | Basketball player |
Parent(s) | Arthur "Bo" Agee Sr. (father; deceased) Sheila Agee (mother) |
Arthur "Man" Agee, Jr. (born October 22, 1972) is one of two Chicago-area high school basketball players whose lives were chronicled in the 1994 Kartemquin Films documentary, Hoop Dreams.
Early life[edit]
Agee is the second child and first son of Arthur "Bo" Agee Sr. and Sheila Agee. During his younger years he lived in the north side Chicago area near where the other star of Hoop Dreams, William Gates, lived. By the time the movie began filming, the Agees had moved to the West Garfield Park neighborhood, which would remain Agee's home until his graduation. Upon graduation from grammar school in 1987, he was discovered by part-time, unofficial talent scout Earl Smith. Smith convinced the Agees to send Arthur to St. Joseph's High School, a private, predominantly white suburban school. St. Joseph's is the same school that Arthur's childhood hero, Isiah Thomas, attended. Because the school was an hour and half from his home, Arthur had to wake up at around 5:30 AM daily and take the train and buses to reach his destination.[1]
Early on in his high school career, when his parents were unable to keep up with the school's tuition payments, Agee had to leave St. Joseph's and instead attended John Marshall High School, an inner-city school. In his senior year, he helped the Marshall Commandos win the 1991 Public League Championship and finish third for the State Championship. Agee's high school was defeated by Manual High School that was led by future NBA player Howard Nathan. After graduating from Marshall, Agee starred at Mineral Area College and went on to play for two years at Arkansas State on a scholarship. He is a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
After College[edit]
Although Agee played at a Division I school, he never achieved his dream of playing in the National Basketball Association. In 1996, Agee turned down a contract with the CBA's Connecticut Pride to take a role in the film Passing Glory.[2] In 2004, he launched a 'Hoop Dreams' clothing line with the slogan "Control Your Destiny".[2] On December 15, 2004, his father, Arthur "Bo" Agee Sr., was killed while attempting to run from at least one robber.[3] Speculation that the shooting was a paid hit was supported when a Chicago man was charged by Berwyn police for allegedly accepting money to kill Arthur Agee Sr.[4] The mission statement of the Arthur Agee Role Model Foundation is "to help underprivileged kids to understand that their role models are not professional athletes, but their parents at home".[5]

American Express Business Insights today released its series of Q3 2010 Business Insights Spend Sights reports, which analyze changing patterns in spending across various categories, US cities and consumer groups. Based on actual, aggregated spending data between July 1 and September 30, 2010, the Business Insights Spend Sights provide a snapshot into the spending areas seeing improvement, and those yet to rebound. The reports cover sectors such as luxury retail, dining and entertainment, and travel during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the third quarter of 2009.
Spend Sights: A Glimpse into Actual Spending
The latest Business Insights Spend Sights reports reveal a glimpse into the analytical capabilities of American Express Business Insights, which helps companies identify spending trends across a range of categories and consumer groups. By analyzing growth patterns and areas of cutbacks, businesses can gain insight into how emerging trends may be affecting their industry. Providing both off-the-shelf and highly customized consumer spending reports, American Express Business Insights released the quarterly Spend Sights series to serve as a sampling of data available to companies as they look for opportunities to help grow their businesses and target their best customers.
Data Highlights
Businesses Take to the Skies and Dining Rooms, Albeit with Value in Mind
- Travel Report:
Given that corporate budgets have long been considered industry bellwethers for future spending patterns, data from Q3 Spend Sights Report: Travel suggest that the corporate travel segment is on the rebound, and that value is a top priority. Business class ticket purchases dwarfed the first class category, increasing by 60% overall while the front of the plane saw an overall decrease of 1%. A deeper dive into business class airline ticket spending reveals that US small and large businesses led this latest uptick with spend increases of 71% and 68%, respectively. Businesses overall, in fact, grew spending more than consumers in general and across all other travel sectors during Q3, including lodging, cruise and automotive rentals.
- Dining and Entertainment Report:
In the Q3 2010 Spend Sights Report: Dining & Entertainment, American Express Business Insights data shows that large businesses, defined by a minimum of one hundred employees, are leading consumer groups in quick service dining spend with a 13% overall increase. Affluent consumers lagged behind with just a 7% increase in spend for QSRs over the year prior, a marked change from Q2 year-over-year results, which saw the group post a dramatic increase in quick service spend (24%). The golf sector saw a decrease in spend for every consumer category except large businesses, which increased spend on the sport by just 2%. Theme parks, on the other hand, enjoyed a healthy 12% spend increase by the affluent consumer group during Q3 as summer brought wealthy vacationing families to the nation's themed playlands.
Consumer Spending Habits Reveal Pronounced 'Homing Instinct' and Holiday Anticipation
- Luxury Retail Report:
Companies aren't the only ones loosening up the purse strings despite ongoing economic uncertainty. According to the Q3 2010 Spend Sights Report: Luxury Retail, dollars spent on furniture and home décor increased 13% in Q3 over last year, continuing a six-month trend of increases and suggesting that consumers are riding out the housing downturn by opening up their wallets and feathering their nests -- and doing so quite enthusiastically in regions such as Miami and San Francisco. Spending patterns in the other retail categories, including apparel and accessories, jewelry and department stores, also grew in Q3, but the modesty of those increases may indicate that consumers were holding back in advance of holiday shopping sprees.
Furniture and Lodging Hot Categories in Warm Cities
- Regional Report:
The Q3 2010 Spend Sights Report: Regional data shows dramatic spending trends in several major cities and across different demographics. In Miami, for example, young adult affluents took to nesting in a big way as their spend on housewares and furniture increased by a startling 54%. The nesting instinct had a decidedly different flavor in Los Angeles -- and was embraced by a different demographic -- as mature affluent spenders invested in hotels, motels and inns and drove a significant 41% increase in lodging spend.
"Looking at segmented capsules of consumer spending information can help merchants identify valuable trends as they look to adjust and strengthen their businesses," said Ed Jay, Senior Vice President at American Express Business Insights. "The latest Spend Sights data shows that we are entering a 'new normal' in consumer spending, where dramatic category shifts are occurring and new, influential spending groups are emerging. These insights are critical for businesses as they work to understand their changing customers and how to better meet their wants and needs," he added.
The data above and many more insights are included in four new American Express Business Insights Q3 2010 Spend Sights reports, available to media for free download at www.americanexpress.com/press.
About American Express Business Insights
As part of the Global Merchant Services organization within American Express Company, American Express Business Insights provides in-depth, actionable insights into consumer and business spending at the business, industry and geographic levels, leveraging proprietary transaction data from the American Express network of approximately 90 million cards in force across over 125 markets.

Ticket #7104 (closed bug: fixed)
Droppable: if activeClass changes the geometry of a droppable, then dnd uses the wrong geometry.

Priority: | minor | Milestone: | 1.8.11 |
Component: | ui.droppable | Version: | 1.8.10 |

Currently the ui.ddmanager caches the geometry of all accepting and visible droppables. Unfortunately, it evaluates this geometry *prior* to setting the activeClass, and so, if setting the activeClass (as a side effect) changes the geometry, then during drag and drop, the ddmanager calculates all intersections, snapping etc. using the wrong geometry.

The effect of external stress on moisture diffusion and mechanical properties degradation of a graphite/epoxy composite, Scotchply SP-313, has been investigated. Moisture gain as a function of time is determined for the composite subjected to four tensile stress levels in the range of 0 to 65 percent of its ultimate tensile strength (UTS).
Experimental techniques to determine moisture gain in a composite subjected to external stress have been developed and discussed. In addition, the residual (after drying) and the current (wet) short-beam shear strength and the flexural strength as a function of moisture content and external stress level have been determined for the composite.
The formation of environmental damage by the combined stress and humid environment conditions as well as the mode of failure in the short-beam test was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies. Results indicated that the moisture absorption process into the graphite/epoxy composite subjected to external stress, at the levels used in this study, can be predicted effectively by Fick's second law of diffusion. Increasing the external stress level produces higher effective diffusivities, and higher initial absorption rates. A significant increase was observed in laminates subjected to more than 45 percent of their UTS and containing more than 1 percent moisture. This was attributed to early formation of cracks within the 90-deg plies caused by moisture degradation of the matrix or interface strength.
The current and residual short-beam shear strength was reduced with increase in moisture content. By enhancing the moisture penetration into the composite, the external stress accelerates the mechanical degradation process.
The flexural strength, which is a fiber-dominated property, showed a very low sensitivity to application of external stress for the levels used in the present study.

Press release from Business Wire
Winner Named in Scotch Tape's National Gift Wrapping Contest
<p> Patricia Zapata from Kingwood, Texas Wins $10k, Offers DIY Gift Wrap Tips </p>
Friday, December 06, 2013
Winner Named in Scotch Tape's National Gift Wrapping Contest
18:12 EST Friday, December 06, 2013NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Patricia Zapata from Kingwood, Texas was crowned the 2013 "Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper" in a national gift wrapping contest sponsored by 3M, the maker of Scotch Brand Tape. After wrapping various odd-shaped items, including a full-size paddle boat with a canopy, Zapata was awarded the ultimate holiday present – a $10,000 cash prize – for her amazing wraps.

All contest press materials, downloadable b-roll footage and contest photos will be posted as available to MostGiftedWrapperMedia.com.
About the contest:
Eight finalists wrapped odd-shaped gifts in three rounds during the
- Round 1: toy castle and a boxed gift
- Round 2: children's go-kart
- Round 3: full-size paddleboat with a canopy
- The contestants were judged on two criteria: appearance of the wrapped gifts and the technique used to wrap the gifts. In the event of a tie, speed was the determining factor.
- Zapata, along with seven other gifted wrappers, was selected to participate in the contest based on a brief entry video and gift-wrapping tip that illustrated her talent and experience in the art of gift wrapping.
About the first runner-up and other contestants:
- The first runner-up, Melinda Cantor from Deer Park, N.Y., received a $2,500 cash prize. Cantor owns Only You Gifts in Islip, N.Y.
The following six contestants also received smaller cash prizes:
- Mia Canada from Atlanta, Ga. of That's a Wrap!
- Diane Henkler from Lansdale, Pa.
- Lisa Huff Kroll from Monrovia, Calif.
- Vickie Ransbottom from Dallas, Ga.
- Julia Rose from North Richland, Texas
- Esther Thiel from Chesterfield, Mo.
About the judging panel:
The judging panel consisted of three gift wrapping experts:
- Martin Amado, bilingual home and lifestyle expert
- Erica Domesek, founder of the DIY Lifestyle brand P.S. I made this…
- Mark Ski, former producer for Martha Stewart Living
"I was particularly impressed with Zapata's creative use of embellishments and how she applied the various colors and patterns of Scotch Expressions Tapes to make an amazing wrap," says contest judge Erica Domesek. "Zapata's wraps are a great example of how creative nostalgia and stylistic personalization touches can influence gift wrap trends with homemade gift wrap paper and embellishments."
Zapata offers these DIY gift wrap tips to get creative this holiday season:
- Chalk it up: Search the Internet for printable chalkboard gift wrap. With just a chalk marker, send your recipient personalized greetings alongside drawings of reindeer and holiday trees.
- Cut through the red tape: Who says you have to wrap a gift using paper and ribbon? Instead, add layers of colorful Scotch Expressions Tapes around a solid-colored box to create stripes and imitate a ribbon. Complete the look by folding individual pieces of colored and patterned tapes into triangles, and then tape them together to create a 3-D bow atop the gift.
- A family affair: Give kids pieces of kraft paper pre-cut for individual gifts, and a variety of crayons and markers. Let their creativity take over! The wrap becomes part of the gift, as the 'work of art' can be framed by the recipient once they unwrap the present.
- Smile! You're on… gift wrap: Print black-and-white photos of family and friends, and tape them to gifts wrapped in bright-colored solid gift-wrap paper. The photos can serve as gift tags so the recipient can be easily identified.
- Flower Power: Cut card stock into petal shapes and adhere them to your gift in the shape of a flower. Then, use complementary colored and patterned tapes to embellish the petals and illustrate the flower stem. Add additional petals directly on the box as a finishing touch.

Stocking Suggestions Please! Hi, I am new to the hobby for the most part and I am getting this for christmas. 60 Gallon Aquarium » Marineland® 60 Gallon Heartland Aquarium Ensemble | PetSmart Any stocking suggestions. trying not to spend to much on fish. thanks in advance. |
what type of fish do you like? there are multiple ways to stock that tank but it depends on what you like. Do you want community? Cichlids? oddballs? |
One thing that has worked for me is to focus on one species you NEED to have in the tank, then stock it based on that. Do you need to have danios, tetras, a betta, gourami, cories, pleco? Odd fish like puffer fish? knife fish? Do you have a preference? Is there a fish in the back of your mind that you say "I MUST have this one"... If not, then before you make a stocking decision, try browsing the local pet stores and see what fish catches your eye. |
Would all depend on what type of water I had with respect to pH,GH,KH. Local water company should be able to provide you with this info. Hard water species such as African cichlid's ,livebearer's,would do poorly if water from tap, which will be used for weekly water changes is soft acidic. Soft water species would do poorly in hard ,alkaline water as well. Some species will adapt to slightly differing water from that which their wild caught cousin's originated from, but more than a few of the popular species are more particular. Is often the difference between fishes that thrive ,and those that live but a few week's,month's. I would choose fishes that enjoy the water most easily reproduced by me(tapwater) rather than trying to change water via chemical's ,powder's,to suit the fish. At least until I was familiar with how the product's work. Adjusting water to meet particular level's ,and then performing water changes with quite different values (GH.KH), often result's in stress to fishes which may or may not result in sick,dead,fishies. |
I have no idea about your level of knowledge, so I will mention...the issue of cycling a new tank. If your fish decisions allow for live plants, theycan handle the cycling. And I concur with the comments of the last three members who posted. Byron. |
I once had that exact tank set up and I really liked it. It's taller than a 55 gallon and as a result has more viewing area. The good news is: I know you can achieve one of your goals, you don't have to spend a fortune on fish to have an enjoyable and beautiful tank. I have 6 tanks and one of my favorites is still my 29 gallon planted Tetra tank. It has very common fish, Rummies, Rasboras and Cardinals - the tank has GREAT colors and GREAT action.... My plants are easy to grow species most of which came as freebie stems from my fish club buddies. A good light and some Flourish Comprehensive and the plants look awesome plus they help with water quality and my fish really enjoy them. As Byron suggest go with plants if you can while you cycle. So as a begginer find some hardy fish that you like. Most of the hardier secies are easy to find. In that tank you have many options. But do read up on cycling and join a fish club! |
A little tool that may help is www.Aqadviser.com. Can give you a basic stocking and species info for a community tank. The only other thing i can suggest is research, research, research. I have definately learnt a few lessons along the way, but better preperation on my part wouldve saved me a little grief here and there. The fish profiles on the forum are an awesome guide to check against and well everybody here so far has helped me in leaps and bounds. Good luck TitanTDH |

The double-brush crowd might squirm over the premise of Dinner for Schmucks, the movie that left me wondering why I've gotten so many dinner invitations lately. But it's a scream, from the dead lobster bit to the lost clitoris remarks and the face-licking scene. "Fine, I'll be your schmuck," director Jay Roach cracked to me at the premiere bash, agreeing to be interviewed. "Could the lead actors have switched roles?" I wondered, knowing they easily could have. "Yes," said Roach. "They're a great team—like Matthau and Lemmon. I want to do a political movie with them. Paul Rudd would make a great candidate, and Steve Carell could be a great anxious campaign manager." Or vice versa.
Totally invited but not a schmuck, reality star Ronnie Kroell popped up, fresh off his Playgirl spread. Did he suffer any self-consciousness about the nudity of it all? "No!" Kroell swore. "On Make Me a Supermodel, they made me do that every week." Hmm, I'm going to have to start watching more cable.
This week's theater trend involved dark Off-Broadway comedies about parties gone awry, like Viagara Falls, in which two old men got down with a gerontophile hooker while my penis retracted into my body and came out past my hemorrhoids.
Far more ambitious is Bachelorette (a/k/a Klonopin Falls), in which a bride-to-be's three girlfriends share coke, champagne, and colorful attempts at destruction. By the end, the surfacey banter became so strangely compelling that I was desperate to grab for the anti-anxiety pills the bride had thrown onto the stage.
A bride at Viagara—I mean Niagara—Falls is one of the characters looking for connections at various American landmarks in See Rock City & Other Destinations, an environmentally staged musical that has the audience seated on the first folding chairs they can grab. Several of the scenarios are missable, but the rest had me willing to keep traveling with these people—though next time, a set, an intermission, and a real seat wouldn't be horrifying.
And finally, my own landmark site the next day was the James Beard Foundation's "Chefs & Champagne" event at the Wölffer Vineyard in Sagaponack, a one-horse town that suddenly became host to a pig named Michael. After three hours of food-station-hopping with honoree Martha Stewart, I moved to the adjacent tent for an after-party filled with ravioli and cannoli. If I wore a tight T-shirt right now, you'd be yelling, "Get a load of those jugs!"

Since the array is made up of Account objects, you will need to access the data through methods in that class. Something like getBalance, getTotal..... After you have that method, it's pretty straightforward.
Java Code://assuming that the getBalance method returns an int int total = accs[0].getBalance() + accs[1].getBalance();

Her Heart Was Torn Between Love And The Future Of Hawaii.
The true story of a hawaiian princess' attempts to maintain the independence of the island against the threat of american colonization. |
"A lush, poetically crafted portrait of Hawaii and the woman who championed her people. Prairie Miller, NEWSBLAZE
Editor's Note
The incredible true story of Hawaiian princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher) comes to the screen in this historical drama from first time writer/director Marc Forby. The year is 1888; a rebel alliance with connections to the American government has succeeded in destabilizing Hawaii. When the fight comes to the royal palace, 13-year-old heir to the throne Princess Ka'iulani is spirited away to Victorian England -- where her royalty holds no bearing on her social standing. As Princess Ka'iulani struggles to adapt to her new surroundings, she finds herself falling in love with handsome, rebellious young Englishman Clive Davies (Shaun Evans). Four years later, the princess receives word that the queen has been incarcerated, and the monarch has fallen. In time Princess Ka'iulani realizes that in order to save her people she must give up her romance with Clive, and travel to America in order to speak with President Grover Cleveland. Convinced that she can restore her kingdom by proving to the Americans that her people are not the savage barbarians that the press portrays them to be, the princess makes her way to the United States and wages a valiant fight against the grave injustices being inflicted upon native Hawaiians.

2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this used car because we have a 1999 LeSabre that just want die. It has 252,000 miles but feels like a boat riding the waves. I thought to myself, I'd love this drive-train in a smaller car that handles better. Then, my favorite local dealer gets in this Regal. I loved it from the first drive. Got a great price and now I'm lovin' it. Who cares if my friends think I'm an old man now. They're paying alot more to be cool than I am. HA.
comfort and durability
cup holder is a little odd, but works ok.
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
Purchased this car initially as a third car for when the parents visited - but ended up driving it to work and around town and longer trips because it is so comfortable and gets great gas mileage with the 3800 V6. Yes, I'm in my late 30's and we just wanted a 'old folk's' car for when our elderly parents flew in to visit a few times a year, but my wife and I discovered that the Regal was comfortable to drive, and got great mileage for a work/highway car. We currently own a BMW 3-series and an Infiniti G35x, and yes, we both agree this has a 'different', yet comfortable ride, and a feeling of roominess in the cabin unlike our sporty cars - never had a single issue with it - we enjoy it!
Roomy cabin feel. Good gas mileage. Great trunk space. Simple, yet functional. Very reliable and inexpensive to maintain. Great turning radius. Nice, spacious seats that tilt AND rock, unlike most all new car seats. Very reasonable price if you find one used.
For a used vehicle which has such a reasonable used price tag, good reliability, comfort, and low maintenance costs, you can't go wrong getting one for a daily driver, a spare car, or for your high school/college student.
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
One of the best GM cars I have ever owned! Suspension and ride are great for long or short trips and it corners like a champ. Road noise is a but much at times, though. Gas mileage is good. Heated leather seats are terrific in the winter. I was able to get out of deep snow up the hill without any difficulty but had to push my friend in her Jeep! I am just getting around to replacing the original struts and have replaced two wheel bearings so far. Other than regular maintenance there is nothing out of the ordinary with repairs. I have loaded it with 2x4's and am getting a hitch and bike rack next week. Hate to see GM axe the 3.8 v6, though. Big mistake, boys!!!! Big mistake.
Lots of pep, punch and handles really well. Corners like a champ! Punch the accelerator and it will move. Suspension is great and my back isn't killing after a 4 hour drive on the wonderful Michigan highways.
GM needs to keep the 3.8 v6 engine. They are doing away with the best v6 that is made. Huge mistake, HUGE!!!
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
I average 28-29 mpg on the highway if I keep it under 65 and city mileage isn't bad either (usually just under 20 mpg). My Regal is comfortable on long and short drives. My only complaint is road noise. It can get loud on grooved pavement. After 40000 miles the body is still tight with no squeaks and rattles. The 3.8 liter engine is peppy for a V6 and acceleration is adequate enough to enter freeways and pass other vehicles on 2-lane highways. I have enjoyed this car and hope to drive it for many more years.
Peppy V6. Decent stock AM/FM/CD and speakers. Great gas mileage. Comfortable leather seats. Smooth ride
Well since they're not making the Regal any longer I guess there's no sense suggesting that they insulate the car better for road noise.
2004 Buick Regal GS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)
After totalling my 1998 Buick Regal GS, I could only find 2 GS' on-line. One in Trenton, NJ area and the other in White Plains, NY. I emailed Coleman and the salesman called the next morning. A pristine condition fully loaded 2004 Black GS just off a three year lease with 42k enticed me to drive over 50 miles to see it. After getting the sticker reduced by over $1000, and seeing the excellent shape of the black paint, I bought it. Now I have a car that I know and love and am making sure that all the tips and techniques that I put into the first will go into the second. I also got an extended 3 year and 36k mile Major Guard Coverage GM Protection Plan, which was mostly paid for by my savings.
Clearly the Regal, which looks like the family sedan, Century, is what is known as a "sleeper". It does not attract unwanted attention and can out perform 90% of the vehicles out there. And the 10% it cannot out perform, it can out drive because it does not look like the quick car like the others.
As with my old GS, I upgraded the stereo adding a monoblock amp & subwoffer. I lowered the suspension with Eibachs-but I do not recommend it as the sidewalls of the Goodyear Assurance tires cause a bouncing effect on local streets. I added a hood plastic clear bra to protect the paint from chipping.
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
Fantastic driving experience. Handling a little loose compared to Euros and Japanese, but ride so much more elegannt than anything in its price class Styling might be old, but lines are clean and European inspired. Looks a lot like my brother's Mercedes at a fraction of the cost. Great bargain.
Large seats, comfortable, good support Engine smooth as silk Good turning circle and braking. Excellent audio system
Interior materials could improved on base model
2004 Buick Regal GS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)
I love this car! Had a 99 GS, loved it too. Handsome, traditional exterior, roomy & comfortable inside. Nice seats. Lots of power, and a marvelous auto trans. Outstanding MPG on trips, especially considering the power. Quiet, comfortable ride, feels solid, no rattles. Big trunk. Both of these vehicles have been utterly reliable, and very inexpensive to maintain. A lot of folks laugh at the idea of a Buick, but I only need to impress myself. They're welcome to their expensive, maintenance-intensive German ego props. This Buick's a terrific buy, and I'm sorry they won't be making any more in 5 years.
Engine/transmission integration. Great brakes, big trunk, good gas mileage, OnStar system, good highway cruiser.
iPod compatable audio system.
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
Great automobile. Value packaged. Quality American craftsmanship via Canada. This is a nice ride with very good handling and ergonomics.
Tight handling,cornering and acceleration. Lots of trunk space. Seating, view and individual climate control.
Foglamps that have some intensity. Different design for console and built in cup holders.
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
this car has the most comfortable seats my wife and i have experienced. We had a 1999 Regal and loved it. Now we are trying a new 2004. The gas mileage is great and the comfort is also great. There is plenty of power and the engine is one of Buick's best.
seats & comfort
interior storage could be better
2004 Buick Regal LS 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
I have put 55,000 on my Regal without one single issue. I find it very comfortable on a long trip with enough seat adjustments to tune my comfort. The ride is smooth and the car performes well at the higher speeds. The visability is very good and the trunk size with fold down back seats is very useful.
The ride and reasonable performance and carefree running/reliability.

"Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where you can manipulate the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more."

Maire, O.G. and Duchêne, J.C. and Grémare, A. and Malyuga, V. and Meysman, F.J.R. (2007) A comparison of sediment reworking rates by the surface deposit-feeding bivalve Abra ovata during summertime and wintertime, with a comparison between two models of sediment reworking. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 343, 21-36. ISSN 0022-0981.
PDF - Published Version Restricted to KNAW only 1025Kb |
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2006.10.052
Sediment reworking rates by the surface deposit-feeding bivalve Abra ovata were assessed in thin aquaria using an automated image analysis procedure for luminophore tracer particles. Experiments were carried in winter (10 °C) and summer (20 °C), and three food treatments were tested: no food addition (CF), low food addition (LF) and high food addition (HF). The rate of sediment reworking was characterized in four different ways: (1) the maximum penetration depth of luminophores (MPD), (2) the proportion of reworked sediment surface (PRS) from which individual rates of surface area reworking (IRSAR) were derived, (3) the fitting of the standard biodiffusion model resulting in a biodiffusion coefficient Db, and (4) the application of a new non-local bioturbation model that produced an alternative mixing intensity DbNL. In winter, sediment reworking was low and was not affected by food availability. In contrast, during summer, reworking activity was very high and significantly affected by food availability. This suggests that temperature and not food availability controls sediment reworking during wintertime. Although the biodiffusive and non-local models produced similar values for mixing intensities after 48 h, the non-local model gave markedly better fits during the initial stage of the experiment. This agrees nicely with theoretical predictions: over short-time scales the non-local model should provide a more accurate description of bioturbation, but as the number of bioturbation events increases, the non-local model should converge to the biodiffusion one. Yet, an additional advantage of the non-local model is that it allows constraining two crucial parameters characterizing A. ovata bioturbation: the average distance over which particles are displaced (2.1 mm) and the waiting time between two bioturbation events (5.39 h). Accordingly, reworking is characterized by highly frequent and small-scale particle displacement, which makes that A. ovata can be classified as a true biodiffuser.

Jerry Sanders on Foreign Policy | |
Mayor Sanders showed keen interest in the idea of "Sister Cities" and pledged to develop it. He also affirmed that San Diego was ready to cooperate with its Vietnamese partners.
At present, the US is Vietnam 's largest export market, with a 19% increase in Vietnamese exports to the US in 2010. US entrepreneurs, including many of Vietnamese origin, said that they were interested in the Vietnamese market and the government's updated policies on foreign businesses, as well as difficulties they may face when investing in Vietnam .
At present, about 20,000 Vietnamese people are living in San Diego, which is the fifth largest city in the US and the world's 33rd richest city.
