More New York Times Apple bashing
In the morning a hit piece blaming Apple for not doing enough to prevent cellphone theft; in the afternoon for legally avoiding additional taxes.
MacDailyNews does a great job shredding them over their shoddy article on Apple's perfectly legal tax avoidance. http://macdailynews.com/2013/05/02/a...w-york-slimes/ Oh and be the way, Apple paid $6B in taxes in fiscal 2012. How much did the New York Times pay?

Thanks... Edit: I found the link and read the primary source material. As I do not wish to get into any arguments about this, let me just suggest macdailynews' carefully excerpted, creatively edited, and interesting interpretations of the major thrust of the article lead me to suggest that one read the original article before reading OP's link.

Wouldn't want to waste your time actually reading the primary source and drawing your own conclusions...better to let someone else do it for you.

The second piece was an article on tax policy, which also pointed out that Apple is no different from other similar companies. So, unless you are arguing that Apple should be above all criticism, like the Queen, I don't get your point. Now, as to the question of corporate income taxes -- I would just as soon abolish corporate income taxes and sales taxes and move the burden to personal income and property taxes. |

As you point out, the article had nothing to do with Apple bashing, it had to do with tax law. Unfortunately, to know that fact...one had to actually read the original article.

Apple is one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world. Its products are in the pockets and homes of a very large percentage of the population, and pretty much everyone reading an article is familiar with what they do.
For that reason it seems more than reasonable that the New York Times, or indeed any reputable journalistic institution, should cite Apple as an example of a troubling or controversial topic. In regards to Apple's hoard of offshore cash - that story says, to me, that we need to press our legislators to revise our national corporate tax laws in such a way that successful companies, like Apple, have an incentive to repatriate their foreign earnings. Repatriated earnings that were used for either dividends, investment, or hiring could be subject to a reduced corporate income tax rate - or indeed given special tax credits. (Cash paid out as dividends would result in increased Federal revenue from the shareholders' individual tax returns. Investment and hiring would lead similarly to increased revenues.) As someone who has great admiration for both the New York Times and Apple - I don't see those stories as unfair examples of "bashing." Its just a newspaper doing its job. Just as Apple's tax strategists are doing their job by planning to keep offshore earnings overseas. If you don't like that - write your Congressperson and get them to change the laws. |

Since you haven't read it, you apparently are unaware that it was not Apple bashing, but an article about tax law...the reference to Apple was one of many companies referenced in the article in describing international tax issues. However, since you already knew what was in the article (remarkable!) there was no need to find out what it was really about. Not reading the primary source certainly allows one to comment without benefit of any knowledge about the referenced article...quite convenient, if totally inaccurate. As far as "slightly biased"...would you say a site totally devoted to a single company's product might be just a tad less than totally objective? BTW: First paragraph is below...no mention of "fraud"... Quote:

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
I have taken the time (because, today I have the time to do so) to read the entire thread, and both of the articles under discussion. The second is an intelligent carefully argued piece on US tax policy, which refers to Apple as one company which engages in this practice, increasingly disliked (as pointed out by the article) by Europeans. The first purports to analyse this, but instead, by careful selection of quotes seeks to dismiss the main argument while seeking to distract attention by arguing that this is an attempt to attack Apple, an icon in the US, and compounding matters, using sneers rather than analysis to make its point, an old and tedious tactic. As a European, I'm one of those old style social democrats who does not think that 'reducing Government spending' should be the sole function of Government policy. Indeed, I am struck by the frothing tone - hatred is not too strong a word to describe it - that I note occasionally on these fora when discussing the role of Government and the concept of central authority, central funding, and thus, central taxation. Guys and gals on the right, the Revolution was two hundred and fifty years ago. You beat the Brits. These days, you have your own Government, and, in order to govern in the name of the common weal, the common good, it needs to have the right and authority to raise monies; that includes taxing companies, especially large and profitable ones. Back to the thread topic, itself: I would argue with the very title of the thread. Nothing in the original article strikes me as 'Apple bashing'; rather, ithe article is discussing US Tax policy (an aside: the comment about the contrast with how - and how much - revenue was raised in Eishenhower's time is instructive and disturbing), and merely observing that successful companies such as Apple tend to use what are perfectly legal (but quite amoral) tax avoidance policies. I, for one, old style European social democrat that I am, would like to see some of that tax paid in either, the countries where Apple (and others) do business, or else, repatriated to the US, where taxes can most certainly be usefully used to address some rather glaring social problems. Indeed, personally, I would prefer that this 'perfectly legal' form of tax avoidance be made less easily available to such companies. Now, I get it. On a forum such as this, attacks on Apple tend to be taken negatively, and reacted to, with a frisson of horror and occasionally, fury. Most of us who are members here like the company's products - indeed, I am actually writing this on one - and admire the technical virtuosity and innovative brilliance, that fusion of form and function afforded by the best examples of modern design - that Apple at its best has produced. But, and it is a big but, admiring the design of the products should not blind us to the sometimes distasteful and occasionally disgraceful (if quite legal) short-cuts pursued by the company in pursuit of higher profits. I feel it is perfectly possible to admire Apple's products while deploring their practice tax avoidance, and the disgraceful employment conditions in some of the Chinese factories where some of their products wee made. Great design does not excuse corporate greed or civic irresponsibility. |

For those in two minds whether to read that MacDailyNews article, just don't.
You can almost imagine the writer frothing at the mouth while writing it. Childish, knee-jerk article.

There's probably more to it, but the article suggests it was primarily based on transfer pricing where one subsidiary would sell the other coffee at a greatly inflated price that is basically decoupled from their actual cost or fair market value. Of course it's technically legal. It could be difficult to completely track the real cost at the parent company level, but those are the issues that come up.

Re-Used Shuttle Interiors
by Jörg
Hillebrand and Bernd Schneider
Runabout Interiors - Other Shuttle Cockpits
Many sets used in Star Trek were later modified or even recycled without changes to represent a different starship or building. Here are several examples of shuttle sets. Please note that everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Certainly we are not supposed to watch closely enough to see that the interiors of two different shuttles look the same.
Runabout cockpit The Danube-class runabout cockpit was originally built for DS9: "Emissary". It appeared in a large number of DS9 episodes in its original role, as well as in TNG: "Timescape". Over the course of the seven years of DS9 there were several slight modifications to the set and hence to the cockpit of the "real" Danube class. But most obviously, the set was also repeatedly used for vessels other than the runabouts, and accordingly redressed.
For VOY: "Caretaker" the cockpit set was modified to act as the bridge of Chakotay's Maquis raider. The LCARS displays were swapped with 23rd century-style computer controls and supplemented with occasional coffin-shaped structures to separate two consoles. The doors and the wall at the cockpit rear end were given a new, partially ribbed surface, encompassing the former transporter platform. In addition, the characteristic oval port and starboard windows were closed and were covered with another computer display.

Maquis bridge, port side, in VOY: "Caretaker" (screen capture by Jörg) |
However, while the two new displays are still in place of the windows early in the episode, they disappear towards the end when Chakotay battles the huge Kazon vessel. We can see that on the starboard side, behind his head, there is no panel but a window with stars (although these are out of focus and accordingly blurred).

Yellowstone cockpit in VOY: "Non Sequitur" (screen capture by Jörg) |
The Danube runabout set was naturally used without being redressed for the Yellowstone variant in VOY: "Non Sequitur", considering that the two are identical on the outside.
The next re-use in a different role is as the cockpit of a Terran rebel raider (the same Bajoran-type vessel that utilizes the Defiant's transporter, see Re-Used Starship Interiors). Here the illumination is dimmed, the struts are decorated with lots of black tape, and the 24th century LCARS panels are replaced with 23rd century movie-style controls once again.

The rebel bridge appears once again in DS9: "Shattered Mirror".

During the summer break between the 6th and the 7th season of DS9 the runabout cockpit was rebuilt for the shooting of "Star Trek: Insurrection". Here the set served as the cockpit of the unnamed Enterprise-E shuttle that Picard and Worf used to stop Data's amok run. The window frames were removed and were replaced with a display panel in a similar fashion as already for "Caretaker". There is now a transporter in the place of the access to the aft compartment. The LCARS consoles on either side of the aft wall are still there, although they look different. The rest remained much the same, except that the whole cockpit was painted in much darker brownish colors.

Runabout "wings" The Danube-class runabout possesses a small wing on either side of the hull, below the window that is aft of the door. We can see this wing on the miniature in many episodes. For DS9: "Battle Lines" a full-scale set of the port side of the runabout exterior was constructed, including the wing. While the nacelle was the wrong type, otherwise this full-scale set correctly reproduced the look of the miniature. The set showed up once again in "Hippocratic Oath", but this time the wing could be found on the left side of the port door (or was it ripped off, considering that it appears to lie on the soil?). Anyway, the same wing can be seen in a different function in DS9: "Indiscretion", here as a part of the crashed Cardassian ship Ravinok.

Type-9 shuttle cockpit The cockpit of the Federation scout hijacked by Data in "Star Trek: Insurrection" is a redress of the interior of the Type-9 shuttle from Voyager. The two seats were replaced with a single seat, and the aft end of the set was modified to allow Worf to enter from the docking hatch. Also, a wall with an octagonal opening was inserted between the seat and the aft compartment. The scene in "Insurrection" largely avoids to show the ceiling of the set and the characteristic windshield that does not quite match the exterior of the scout.

However, we get a glimpse of the window at one point, revealing it is indeed the same as that of Type 9. The controls are still the same as well.

Naturally the cockpit set was also re-used for Janeway's similarly shaped shuttle in VOY: "Endgame". Finally, we could see the set with heavy modifications as the simulator in ENT: "Stratagem". The windows were all closed with panels, but the outline of the set is still the same.

Small shuttle cockpit In the course of four seasons, three small shuttle cockpits appear on Voyager's screen which are obviously the same set, only slightly redressed each time: the cockpit Braxton's timeship Aeon, weapon dealer Kovin's cockpit and finally the cockpit of old Kes' shuttle.

Kovin's cockpit in VOY: "Retrospect" (screen capture by Jörg) |

(screen capture by Jörg)
Escape pod The Retellian and the Klingon escape pods are amazingly alike, although they look quite different from the outside (Klingon, Retellian). The full-scale set is the same, only that the Klingon interior was filmed in a way to look darker and less inviting, and without the manual controls of the Retellian version.

30 Years of Construction Software
Founded in 1981, Seattle-based Dexter + Chaney supplies the construction industry with construction software for business and operations. After working on a large maritime construction project involving pricing change orders and markups at Arthur Andersen (now Accenture), founders Mark Dexter and John Chaney felt there had to be an alternative to the manual processes they were using. From the spare bedroom of Dexter's apartment, they began using the emerging technology of electronic spreadsheets to create a custom solution for the construction industry. Thirty years later, Dexter + Chaney continues to deliver solutions to the construction industry using the latest emerging technologies.
Today, Dexter + Chaney has thousands of clients using their software to manage all aspects of their businesses from accounting to project management. Throughout its history, the company has been committed to two principles: Customers for life, and leading edge technology. Dexter + Chaney clients never have to repurchase software, even when significant upgrades are made.
And as technology has improved, Dexter + Chaney has remained agile, applying these new technologies to its software without sacrificing functionality. Most recently, Dexter + Chaney has become the first construction company to deliver complete construction management software using true cloud-based technology with an intuitive web browser interface. Customers no longer need to load or maintain any client applications and can access their software using any Internet-connected device with a browser from anywhere they are working. Companies can chose to deploy the software themselves in a private cloud or let Dexter + Chaney provide the hosting, completely freeing them from any IT or hardware requirements.
Dexter + Chaney's applications all work together to provide a contractor everything they need to manage their work and their business – from the office to the field, from accounting to operations, and from pre-construction to close out. Spectrum® Construction Software provides complete business management for contractors, including applications for job cost accounting, project management, document imaging, equipment management, service management, purchasing and inventory, and more.
Dexter + Chaney has received many awards over the years, most recently winning the 2012 Hanley Wood Most Innovative Product Award for its Venture product and the Construction Executive 2013 Hot Product Award for its newly redesigned Spectrum Project Management application. Previous awards include multiple inclusions in Software magazine's Top 500 and Washington State's Technology Fast 50.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Hidden Bonuses
Telephone Numbers | Mementos | Haunted Objects | Camera Ghosts | UFOs |
Bonus Item Overview |
There are multiple types of bonus items: mementos, haunted objects, camera ghosts, and UFOs. These are all optional things that aren't directly useful to Harry, but they reveal additional details about the game's world, and they reflect the current playing style (and ultimately the ending). All of them are located in the exploration parts and other safe areas, so don't worry about looking for them during the icy death nightmares.
Mementos are various trinkets that can be picked up. They are all hidden in various kinds of containers. To view the mementos that have been collected, go to the pause menu, and choose the mementos option. (With the Wii controls, press the Remote's 1 Button.)
Haunted objects can be triggered simply by being touched. They cause the flashlight to flicker and make extremely noticeable humming noises, which grow the loudest when the cursor is pointed directly at them (like with the enemies during icy death nightmares).
Camera ghosts can be photographed with the mobile phone's camera function. They appear as unmoving, shadowy apparitions that leave scratchy distortions on the screen, but they don't make loud static noises at first. Successfully photographing a camera ghost is sufficient; saving the snapshot afterward isn't required.
UFOs are the small flying saucers, and they're associated with the series' running joke with space aliens. After finishing the game at least once, when replaying the game with the same profile, United Fruitcake Outlet (UFO) signs will replace some billboards in the first chapter. To enable the UFO challenge, dial the UFO telephone number (555-3825) as soon as the mobile phone becomes available. The UFOs are similar to camera ghosts, except they are fully visible, and they disappear after Harry enters and then leaves their areas, making them easy to miss forever. As with camera ghosts, successfully photographing a UFO is enough; saving the snapshot afterward isn't mandatory. Photograph all 13 flying saucers and then finish the game to get the UFO ending.

February 27, 2013Thankless Germany Forgets Who Saved ThemNick Dearden, The Guardian | |||||
AP Photo Germany emerged from the second world war still owing debt that originated with the first world war: the reparations imposed on the country following the Versailles peace conference in 1919. Many, including John Maynard Keynes, argued that these unpayable debts and the economic policies they entailed led to the rise of the Nazis and the second world war. By 1953, Germany also had debts based on reconstruction loans made immediately after the end of the second world war. Germany's creditors included Greece and Spain, Pakistan and Egypt, as well as the US, UK and France. TAGGED: Greece, Spain, Eurozone, Germany RECOMMENDED ARTICLES

Press Release
Contact: For immediate release:
Carnegie Mellon's SWIFT System Expected to
Expedite Airport Security Screening Procedures
PITTSBURGHA Carnegie Mellon University research team has unveiled a design of an airport security screening system that has been praised by federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials for its potential to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of screening procedures while reducing traveler delays.
Developed by graduate students in a Systems Synthesis project course at Carnegie Mellon's H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management, the Short-Wait Integrated Flight Travel (SWIFT) system employs a combination of processing enhancements, policy changes and technological innovations to improve airport security screening and reduce the time travelers spend in security clearance procedures.
The group recommended that SWIFT undergo initial testing at Pittsburgh International Airport to further assess its performance in field conditions and then expand to other airports. TSA approval for this initial test phase is pending.
In the SWIFT system, travelers who voluntarily submit to and pass a security clearance will use a card containing personal and biometric information to pass through an airport screening process comparable to what was used prior to September 11, 2001. The TSA will define the details of this security clearance, particularly the national databases to be scanned and the criteria for granting travelers SWIFT approval.
Coupled with streamlined procedures for screening both carry-on and checked baggage, the expedited process will accelerate the passage of all travelers while enabling airport screeners to focus more directly on travelers not cleared beforehand, thereby enhancing security at the same time as expediting the flow of all passengers, according to Alfred Blumstein, the Jonsson University Professor at Carnegie Mellon and faculty advisor to the research team.
"The Carnegie Mellon team has been instrumental in delivering sound recommendations that have given TSA leaders the data they need to make key decisions," says Craig Martelle, assistant federal security director for screening at the Pittsburgh airport.
In fact, TSA officials in Washington, D.C., have said that the comprehensive SWIFT system, which incorporates Aviation Transportation Security Act (AVTSA) requirements, represents "the best research in this area that's been done in the entire United States," according to Martelle.
"Our studies estimate that about 40 percent of air travelers on any day, mainly frequent travelers, would join the SWIFT program at a nominal cost of $50 to cover the cost of the background check," says Ryan Wilson, one of the students in the group.
There are various biometric options now available that would ensure that the person using the SWIFT traveler verification card is the one to whom it was issued. The most likely to be adopted would involve finger and iris scans. "Each could meet stringent false-acceptance criteria," says Jordan Schreck, another of the students, "and a fused system of multiple biometrics would have a very low false-rejection rate, below 3 in 10,000, for example."
After passing the biometric verification, SWIFT travelers would go through a screening at the security checkpoint similar to that of two years ago.
"Simulation analyses show that SWIFT passengers would spend under two minutes at the security checkpoint during peak periods. By freeing up TSA personnel to screen non-SWIFT passengers, these passengers could be examined more closely," according to Michael Kaufman, a student on the project team. Matthew Ragan, one of the student leaders of the project, emphasized that, "Non-SWIFT passengers will also benefit from the SWIFT system because SWIFT travelers move through more quickly. Their average time to pass through security will decrease by nearly 10 percent. Thus, the SWIFT system can reduce delay for all passengers and increase security by focusing attention on those who do not pass a prior check."
Initially, all that will be required at the airport security checkpoint will be a card scanner and biometric devices. According to Carnegie Mellon's recommendations, the initial SWIFT users could be airport and airline employees, followed by airlines' preferred passengers who will be issued the cards at no cost.
"Later versions of SWIFT would involve airline identification of SWIFT travelers at check-in and priority screening of checked baggage," says Catharine Foster, another student leader.
The team also analyzed checked-baggage screening and security checkpoint operations at the Pittsburgh airport and identified improvements that could significantly reduce delays. Analysis of checkpoint processing revealed that the x-ray inspection of a traveler's carry-on baggage took considerably longer than the magnetometer screening. "Simulation studies showed that installing two
x-ray stations per magnetometer would reduce the average checkpoint processing delay by 40 percent," says David Stopp, a student who studied these operations.
When studying the checked baggage process at PIT, the team found that about 22 percent of bags trigger an alarm and then occupy the CTX x-ray machine for considerable time while the appropriate response is considered. By installing a shunt that moved these bags onto an "alarm-bag conveyor," combined with remote video capability to review the bag in question, the processing rate could be increased by about 50 percent, thereby enhancing security as well as reducing delay in that phase of the operation.
TSA inquiries should be directed to Mark Hatfield at 917-620-2642.

I was a cheerleader in 6th grade at the DRC. I also did gymnastics that year, also at the DRC. Then I moved on to theatre and never looked back. Okay, maybe I looked back a little. I still wish I had the grace to dance really well. And the Cirque du Soleil thing at the Oscars REALLY made me wish I could do that, but alas I am also too tall. And not coordinated enough.

Financial Crisis Commission Referred Criminal Securities Fraud Violations to Justice Department a Year Ago |

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican commissioner on the FCIC who did not sign onto the final report, made some statement to the media about how the FCIC already investigated the areas of inquiry concerning the crash of the housing bubble and found no criminal wrongdoing. But the Chair of the FCIC, Phil Angelides points to the FCIC's report noting there were criminal referrals, and that was a year ago.

By: David Dayen Thursday January 27, 2011 7:32 am |
Angelides: there's much anger in this country about what's transpired. Many looked to this commission for answers. We kept these people in mind as we completed our work. There has been no shortage of debate over the bailout and too big to fail. But our mission was to figure out the origins. How did it come to pass that we were forced to choose between two stark and painful alternatives? Rescue the banks or let them crash? None of what happened was an act of God.
FCIC: Financial Crisis Was Avoidable |
By: David Dayen Wednesday January 26, 2011 5:45 pm |
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission report is sure to provide a powerful reinforcement to the growing lack of faith in elites and especially the financial industry. Because they will outline, in painstaking detail, how the financial meltdown of 2008 was completely avoidable – the result of policy failure at the highest levels of government and Wall Street, failures that bordered on criminal and that have never been fully adjudicated.
FCIC Will Refer Report to Authorities for Potential Criminal Prosecution |
By: David Dayen Tuesday January 25, 2011 4:00 pm |
Shahien Nasiripour reports that the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission will forward multiple individuals responsible for the financial meltdown to state and local authorities for potential criminal prosecution, in accord with the imminent release of their report. If we wanted to understand why Republicans on the commission suddenly begged off the report a month or so ago, this could be the reason.
Volcker Blasts Banksters, Financial System in Impromptu Speech at Chicago Fed |
By: David Dayen Friday September 24, 2010 3:45 pm |
Paul Volcker has gravitas. And in his advanced age, he's using it to rip the banksters a new one. Now you will never hear from these whiners that Paul Volcker is anti-business; they would rather deflect that over to Obama. But it's Volcker, and certainly not Obama, making the most direct critiques of the crime spree they call their business practices.
FCIC Subpoenas Moody's for Documents |
By: David Dayen Wednesday April 21, 2010 3:10 pm |
It's entirely possible that some of this is kabuki, that in the end the banksters will win out. Indeed, the Gregg-Reed derivatives package could ultimately trump Lincoln's stronger bill. But for the moment, you get the sense that there's a turning of the tide in Washington, and everyone's riding the populist wave.

The primary aim of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of treatment with Varenicline in methamphetamine-dependent volunteers. The investigators also seek to determine the effects of treatment with Varenicline, as compared to placebo, on craving for methamphetamine or cigarettes following exposure to methamphetamine and smoking cues, respectively. The effects of treatment with Varenicline, as compared to placebo, on subjective effects produced by administration of methamphetamine or placebo will be attempted to be determined. Lastly, the investigators hope to determine the effects of treatment with Varenicline, as compared to placebo, on reinforcing effects produced by administration of methamphetamine or placebo.

I'll be heading to football practice shortly to hear what Joker Phillips has to say and talk to a couple players and coaches, but before I do, here are a couple notes and links:
- Some guy named Eric Lindsey wrote an article last night over at CoachCal.com, maybe you've heard of him. In all seriousness, the former Mr. Cat Scratches wrote a great piece about junior guard Jon Hood, who recently had surgery to repair a torn ACL. It covers anything you would want to know about the injury from how Hood is handling to how it happened to how his recovery is proceeding. Hood is also extremely honest in the article about his own game, admitting that he was not working had enough last season. Head on over and give it a read.
- Former UK wide receiver Chris Matthews has played with the Cleveland Browns this preseason as an undrafted free agent. He was pretty quiet in the team's first pair of preseason games, but came on to play the fourth quarter last night. Trailing 24-0, the Browns scored two touchdowns, the second of which was a four-yard pass from Jarrett Brown to Matthews. Hopefully the big wide out can parlay the touchdown into significant playing time in his final preseason game and a chance at a roster spot.
- I talked about it a bit yesterday, but UK Volleyball begins its 2011 season at the Florida State Tournament today at 11:00 a.m. ET against Albany. If you want to keep up with the team via live in-game updates, follow @KentuckyVB, the official Twitter account of UK Volleyball.
- Lastly, UK's women's and men's soccer teams play a rare double header tonight at the UK Soccer Complex. Jon Lipsitz and the UK women try to win their third consecutive game to open the season at 5:00 p.m. ET against the Ohio Bobcats. They will be followed by Ian Collins and the men playing their season-opener against the Dayton Flyers. We will have live blogs of both games beginning about 10 minutes before kickoff.

3D fiber-deposited scaffolds for tissue engineering: Influence of pores geometry and architecture on dynamic mechanical properties
Moroni, L. and Wijn, J.R. de and Blitterswijk, C.A. van (2006) 3D fiber-deposited scaffolds for tissue engineering: Influence of pores geometry and architecture on dynamic mechanical properties. Biomaterials, 27 (7). pp. 974-985. ISSN 0142-9612
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 694kB |
Abstract: | One of the main issues in tissue engineering is the fabrication of scaffolds that closely mimic the biomechanical properties of the tissues to be regenerated. Conventional fabrication techniques are not sufficiently suitable to control scaffold structure to modulate mechanical properties. Within novel scaffold fabrication processes 3D fiber deposition (3DF) showed great potential for tissue engineering applications because of the precision in making reproducible 3D scaffolds, characterized by 100% interconnected pores with different shapes and sizes. Evidently, these features also affect mechanical properties. Therefore, in this study we considered the influence of different structures on dynamic mechanical properties of 3DF scaffolds. Pores were varied in size and shape, by changing fibre diameter, spacing and orientation, and layer thickness. With increasing porosity, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed a decrease in elastic properties such as dynamic stiffness and equilibrium modulus, and an increase of the viscous parameters like damping factor and creep unrecovered strain. Furthermore, the Poisson's ratio was measured, and the shear modulus computed from it. Scaffolds showed an adaptable degree of compressibility between sponges and incompressible materials. As comparison, bovine cartilage was tested and its properties fell in the fabricated scaffolds range. This investigation showed that viscoelastic properties of 3DF scaffolds could be modulated to accomplish mechanical requirements for tailored tissue engineered applications. |

Little Lake Street in the Otay Ranch area of Chula Vista is a microcosm of all the fevered foolishness, not to mention avarice and stupidity, that propelled the region and much of the nation into the real estate crash that still reverberates across all sectors of the economy.
This came when incoming Senate President Darrell Steinberg indicated he would support a hard budget cap that limited spending growth to a formula based on inflation and population growth in return for a hike in the car tax. We are by no means endorsing this deal and remain leery of any tax hikes, given the billions of dollars that could be saved with some sensible budget trims. Nevertheless, there is a groundbreaking, Nixon-goes-to-China quality to Steinberg's readiness to accept a hard spending cap.
Lower standards may be the remedy for some ills. Lowering admission standards at the state's premier university isn't among them. Yet that is precisely the way University of California faculty recommends to the Board of Regents to increase admissions of Latino and black students. And UC Chancellor Mark Yudof and the regents seem unfortunately reluctant to dismiss it out of hand.
Despite the current economic downturn, future growth in San Diego is inevitable. The baby boomers are living longer and their children and grandchildren will likely choose to make this region their home, to be joined by others moving here for jobs, retirement or just quality of life. How do we accommodate this growth? Can we provide adequate infrastructure and public services, decent places to live, and quality jobs?
I just want my kids to be happy. This has become "a kind of sacred star in the galaxy of parenting wisdom," says child psychologist Aaron Cooper. It is a default dream, what Cooper calls the "fall-back wish" of parents for the lives they'd like their children to live.

Caring for the elderly: Dealing with resistance
Caring for the elderly: Dealing with resistanceOne of the toughest challenges you can face when caring for the elderly is resistance to care. How do you help a loved one who doesn't want help? Understand how resistance to care can develop and strategies for fostering cooperation when caring for the elderly. What causes resistance to care?If your loved one is in need of care, he or she is likely dealing with loss — physical loss, mental loss, the loss of independence. Accepting care may mean relinquishing privacy and adjusting to new routines. As a result, your loved one may feel frightened and vulnerable, angry that he or she needs help or guilty about the idea of becoming a burden to family and friends. In addition, your loved one may be stubborn, have mental health concerns or simply think it's a sign of weakness to accept help. He or she might also be worried about any associated costs. What's the best way to approach a loved one about the need for care?If you suspect that your loved one will be resistant to care — whether from family, other close contacts or a service — you may be hesitant to bring up the topic. To start communicating with your loved one about his or her need for care:
What are the most effective strategies for managing resistance to care?Getting an aging loved one to accept help can be difficult. To encourage cooperation, you might:
Keep in mind that these strategies may not be appropriate when dealing with a loved one who has dementia. What else can be done?If your loved one continues to resist care and is endangering himself or herself, you may need to take steps to protect his or her health and safety. Consider consulting a lawyer about elder care issues. Resistance to care is a challenge that many caregivers face. By keeping your loved one involved in decisions about his or her care and explaining the benefits of assistance, you may be able to help your loved one feel more comfortable about accepting help.

Field Hockey Drops Home-Opener to No. 10 McDaniel
The Green Terror (6-0), who entered the day ranked No. 10 in the country, opened the scoring just 2:20 into the contest when junior Kim Camponelli found the net off an assist from sophomore Clara Hollingsworth.
The Bobcats (4-4) pulled even at the 16:26 mark as senior Kim Faust (Upper Dublin/Ft. Washington, Pa.) took a feed off a penalty corner, moved to her right and blasted a shot off the left post and into the net.
McDaniel needed just 1:45 to move back in front when junior Sara Thomas scored unassisted, and the Green Terror opened a 3-1 lead on freshman Danielle Unflat's tally with 6:09 left in the half.
Frostburg State looked to rally in the second half but couldn't score during a six-minute stretch of playing a man up after a Green Terror player was sent off after a yellow card. The Bobcats just missed closing to within a goal when freshman Kim Smith (Thomas Johnson/Frederick, Md.) sent a shot wide left at 28:32.
The Green Terror kept the Bobcats at bay and netted another goal with 14:17 left as freshman Lindsay Ricks banged one in after a scramble in front.
Junior Kim Dean (Hereford/Parkton, Md.) closed out the scoring with 2:07 remaining when she collected the ball off another scramble in front and punched it into the right side of the net.
Freshman Kristin Cousin (South River/Edgewater, Md.), who made six saves, suffered the loss to fall to 1-3 on the season.
The Bobcats return to action on Friday when they host Bridgewater at 4:00 p.m.

It contains one pair of strawberry-with-chocolate Edible Undies, a 1 ounce bottle of Adam & Eve's personal lubricant, a small but powerful vibrator, a box of Sex Rockets oral sex candy (a.k.a. mentholated cough drops) and a handbook to help prevent the 30-second-crash-and-burn first time.
