"our stay in tidings @ the Alto Beach and Country Club"
The apartment was really nice in a very quiet complex. A car would be essential , it is quite a climb up the gradient from Alvor-but I don't drive on the Continent anymore. The Cotton restaurant was convenient and was very good on the two occasions we paid it a visit. Another good restaurant was Mister Alvor and the beach was excellent as are all the beaches in Portugal. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wishes to experience a quiet,restful holiday and its amenities are first class.

Other Red Blends from Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Like many before us, we surveyed the countryside and identified specific appellations with celebrated varietals. Beginning in the south near the townships of Torricella and Manduria in Puglia, we finished up north at Alba in Piemonte. Diverse components were meticulously assembled that represent the finest from each region. The result is a vibrant wine that captures the spirit of Italy with a touch of new world bravado.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The Non-Vintage Locations I-2 Italian Red Wine (also all 2012 fruit, but it can't be called that because of the blend) is composed of Nero D'Avola and Negroamaro from Puglia, Barbera from Piedmont, and a small percentage of Sangiovese from Tuscany. It receives vinification in large oak and spends ten months in barrel prior to bottling. It displays more acidity than the French cuvee, along with notes of wild herbs, licorice, tomato skins, black olives, red and black currants, cherries, barbecue spice and burning embers. This serious, medium to full-bodied, tasty, distinctive wine can be consumed over the next several years. "
Locations by Dave Phinney Winery
Dave Phinney's newest project "Locations," is independent from his previous ventures. Locations arose from the idea that there is great wine all over the world, which sometimes gets lost because the appellation rules are confusing and old fashioned. In similar fashion to his previous successes, Dave strives to make the best wine possible. Locations present us with well-crafted wines made from vineyards across their respective countries that demonstrate that a commitment to excellent fruit and gentle winemaking techniques can make a product that is just as good as any terroir-driven wine.

About Other ItalianLombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria
LombardyHome of the fashion capital of Milan, Lombardy is not quite Italy's capital of wine. It is, however, home to a few wines worth noting. Most vineyards are far north, far south or far east. First, in the south, the sparkling wine Franciacorta – this sparkling wine is made in the methode champagnoise and the better wineries produce wine that can hold it's own in a quality bubbly line up. Lugana, a pleasant, white wine made from Trebbiano, comes from Lombardy as well. Lean reds from the Nebbiolo grape are made further up in the Valtelliana region, near the Alps.
Emilia-RomagnaThe region of Emilia-Romagna is better known for its food rather than wine. Most of the wine coming from this region is the red, slightly-fizzy Lambrusco. It's high in acid and best drunk young. The white coming out of the region is mostly Albana di Romagna. Made from the albana grape, it's typically dry and pleasant, although not found often.
UmbriaTalk about being in the center of things… the land-locked region of Umbria is smack dab in the middle of the country. The most familiar white wine of the region is Orvieto, named for the medieval Etruscan town. It's a Trebbiano-based wine with good fruit flavors and high acid. Originally a sweet wine, most Orvietos are now dry. Red wine from Umbria includes Torgiano and Montefalco - Torgiano made from the grapes of Chianti, while Montefalco uses the native sagrantino grape, making big and bold reds.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

This is a big, tasty wine but not sure I would know it was an Italian wine. A bit of a fruit bomb it explodes with ripe red and black berry fruits.Hints of olives, spice and nice acidity make it more food friendly than you might expect.Should be a crowd pleaser.

- Big & Bold
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

SDSU's balloon gets poked
Aztecs' 20-game win streak ends at Wyoming thanks to poor shooting and 13 turnovers
"I thought for the first three quarters of this game we had great poise on offense," Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt said. "We shifted the ball left, we shifted the ball right and we made them run around a little bit. It ended up that San Diego State took a lot of risks on defense, and we were able to find the open people."
Wyoming, who beat a No. 5-ranked team for the first time since 1998, got 17 points from Riley Grabau while Larry Nance Jr. added 14.
"We didn't guard well," Thames said. "I think if we would have played with the intensity in the first half that we played in the second half it would have been a different ballgame. But give them credit, they came out to play."
San Diego State returns home to host Air Force at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Glacier Bay Refrigeration Systems
Ive read several articles on the internet about defective equipment and poor service from Glacier Bay Marine Refrigeration. I recently installed a Glacier Bay refrigeration system in Voyager, and while I did have a problem with one of the components, the staff at Glacier Bay could not have been more helpful. They helped me diagnose the problem and replaced the component in a professional and timely manner. The component, the solenoid vlv assy that directs gas flow to either the freezer or refrigeration zones, may have been defective, or more likely, I managed to contaminate it during installation. Either way, kudos to Glacier Bay. And, best of all, the system works great! (so far )
I do have to say though, I dont believe the installation of these systems is a do-it-yourself operation. The required vacuum pumps, gas detectors and the experience to operate these devices correctly is not in the realm of the average do-it-yourselfer.

LOS ANGELES (March 31, 2011) World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver Bantamweight Champion Abner Mares participated in a media workout today at Maywood Gym in Maywood, Calif. as he gets ready to face International Boxing Federation (IBF) Bantamweight World Champion Joseph King Kong Agbeko in the eagerly awaited Bantamweight Tournament Final: Winner Takes All on Saturday, April 23 LIVE on SHOWTIME® (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. .
Mares (21-0-1, 13 KOs), of Hawaiian Gardens, Calif. by way of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, will defend his WBC Silver bantamweight championship in the tournament final against Agbeko (28-2, 22 KOs), of Accra, Ghana.
In what will be a hotly contested co-feature, former Two-Division World Champion Vic Raging Bull Darchinyan (35-3-1, 27 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, by way of Vanadzok, Armenia, and former IBF Bantamweight World Champion Yonnhy El Colombiano Perez (20-1-1, 14 KOs), of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., by way of Cartagena, Colombia, will clash in the tournament consolation bout.
Tickets, priced at $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25, are available online at Ticketmaster.com, and via Ticketmaster charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000. Tickets are also available at STAPLES Center Box Office.
Mares earned a berth in the final with a bloody, come-from-behind 12-round split decision win over Darchinyan in the tournament semifinals last Dec. 11 in Tacoma, Wash. Later in the evening, Agbeko earned his spot in the final by handed Perez his first career loss via a unanimous 12-round decision.
The Bantamweight Tournament Final: Winner Takes All is promoted by Don King Productions, Gary Shaw Productions, Golden Boy Promotions and Thompson Boxing Promotions and sponsored by Corona. An exciting undercard will be announced shortly.
Heres what Mares and Oscar de la Hoya had to say on Thursday:
The fight (against Darchinyan) gave me a lot of confidence and motivation. Im fighting legitimate fighters in this tournament and I know I belong.
Its a great fight. Agbeko is an amazing fighter. Not many fighters lose a title and come back stronger to win it. Hes hungry and I know he doesnt want to lose that title again, but Im here to prove myself, to prove that Im the best 118 pounder and win this tournament.
I want to go out and give the fans a good fight. With Agbekos style and my style, the fight has to be interesting. We cant put on a bad fight.
Im here to fight the best thats why Im facing Agbeko and thats why I want to fight (Nonito) Donaire after I win this thing.
I thank Oscar for everything. Hes the one whos been with me from the beginning.
The Bantamweight Tournament was the best thing that could have happened to this division. SHOWTIME stepped up to the plate and did a great job putting it together. We will see very soon who is one of the best of this division. The champion of this tournament will be in line to face pound-for-pound great Nonito Donaire.
The great thing about this fight is anyone can win it. Its a coin toss.
Abner is a fighter I believe in he always give his all. He wants to be the best in his division.
Eventually, after this tournament, we want him to keep on facing the best fighters out there. I believe hell go up one or two divisions, but he still has some work to do here at 118 pounds. He has the talent and speed and power to move up in weight.
Im really excited that Abner is the first fighter who turned professional with us and now hes fighting for a world title. Thats exciting for us.
Were a young company and we have many world champions, but Abner is our first that we had from the start.
Abner is a very dedicated and loyal fighter and we are thrilled to have him.
With the Super Middleweight tournament SHOWTIME has created noise and attention for that division. What SHOWTIME has done is outstanding. The fans love and support these types of tournaments. They really stepped up to the plate and gave fans what they wanted.

Firm settles allegations its workers paid overseas officials to boost sales of drugs
Penalty: Pfizer will pay the federal government $60 million to settle foreign bribery allegations.
Allegations: Federal regulators said Pfizer's overseas subsidiaries made illegal payments to doctors and other officials in Europe and Asia to win business and boost sales, and then tried to conceal the bribes by recording them as legitimate business expenses.
Disclosure: Pfizer first disclosed the problems in 2004 and cooperated with the government's investigation.
Pfizer, the world's biggest drugmaker, agreed to pay $60.2 million to settle foreign bribery cases it brought to U.S. authorities involving alleged payments paid by employees and agents of its subsidiaries.
Pfizer entered into two agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and reached a deferred prosecution accord with the Department of Justice, according to filings Tuesday in federal court in Washington.
U.S. law enforcement authorities have been probing drugmakers, including Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb and GlaxoSmithKline for possibly breaking an overseas law that bars employees or their agents from paying bribes to foreign government officials to obtain or retain business.
Tuesday's settlements stem from payments and gifts Pfizer said its foreign units made to government-employed doctors and workers in Eastern Europe, China and the Middle East, according to the filings.
"These improper payments were variously made to influence regulatory and formulary approvals, purchase decisions, prescription decisions, and to clear customs," according to a complaint filed by the SEC.
As early as 2001, Pfizer sales representatives tried to conceal the bribes by recording them as legitimate business expenses for travel, entertainment and marketing purposes, the agency said.
"Pfizer subsidiaries in several countries had bribery so entwined in their sales culture that they offered points and bonus programs to improperly reward foreign officials who proved to be their best customers," said Kara Brockmeyer, chief of the unit of the SEC enforcement division that enforces the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. "These charges illustrate the pitfalls that exist for companies that fail to appropriately monitor potential risks in their global operations."
Stock declines
The 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes payments to foreign officials to win business illegal.
Industry experts say giving gifts and payments to doctors is not unusual for drug and medical device companies who operate in dozens of countries.
The New York-based drugmaker alerted U.S. authorities in 2004 after probing the claims. More payments were found when Pfizer bought its Wyeth unit in 2009.
"The actions which led to this resolution were disappointing, but the openness and speed with which Pfizer voluntarily disclosed and addressed them reflects our true culture and the real value we place on integrity and meeting commitments," Amy Schulman, Pfizer's general counsel, said in a statement.
Shares of Pfizer, which neither admitted nor denied the allegations in the settlement, fell 2.1 percent to $23.74 at the close of New York trading Tuesday.
Criminal fine
The Justice Department charged the Pfizer HCP Corp. unit with two criminal counts, conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and a violation of the FCPA's anti-bribery provisions. Prosecutors agreed to defer prosecution and drop the charges after two years if Pfizer continues to cooperate and take remedial steps. The settlements must be approved by a federal judge. The company won't be subject to direct monitoring by the Justice Department or the SEC, though.

Please Save My Earth (Japanese: ぼくの地球を守って Hepburn: Boku no Chikyū o Mamotte?), sometimes abbreviated Bokutama, is a shōjo science fiction manga by Saki Hiwatari. It was published by Hakusensha from 1987 to 1994 in the magazine Hana to Yume and collected in 21 volumes (tankōbon). The series was adapted as a six-part original video animation (OVA) in 1993. It is about six teenagers and a seven-year-old boy who share common dreams about their past lives as alien scientists who observed the Earth from the Moon. Both the anime OVA and manga are licensed for distribution in North America by Viz Media.
A sequel manga, Boku o Tsutsumu Tsuki no Hikari (The Moonlight That Embraces Me), is currently being serialized in the bimonthly Hana to Yume as well as the special edition magazine, Hana to Yume Plus.
The story centers around high-school student Alice Sakaguchi, her seven-year-old neighbor Rin Kobayashi, and five other teenage students who have recurring collective dreams about a group of alien scientists stationed on the moon observing and collecting data about the Earth.
Initially, when Alice learns that classmates Jinpachi and Issei have been having common recurring dreams since middle school, she thinks nothing of it until she has one of these "moon dreams" herself. Because of the nature of these dreams, the way Issei always dreams as the same person, and Jinpachi as well, now that Alice has provided a third perspective, they start to believe that people who dream as the other four scientists in their "moon dreams" can each be found.
Almost like it's a game, the three make plans to seek these other people out in the hopes of making sense of these dreams. After a suggestion from Issei, and a little bit of time and luck, they are finally able to make contact with the other four people. But as the six teenagers and one child start to piece together the timeline and content of their dreams, they began to realize that their "dreams" are not simply dreams, but rather suppressed memories of their past incarnations (as those same moon scientists) that ended tragically. And now, as their "game" begins to unravel, the kids must strive to come to terms with what happened in their past lives, as they struggle to prevent their past incarnations' rivalries, jealousies, and dubious actions from taking over their new ones.
Please Save My Earth, like early manga series that suddenly become popular for many different manga artists careers', is an illustration of the development and transition of Hiwatari Saki from a novice to an experienced manga artist. The difference in art style between the volume 1 and volume 21 of the manga is quite drastic, as illustrated in the image to the right.
The series features a number of homages to anime and manga throughout the manga.[1]
- Manga volume 5[2]
- Issei's sister Kyoko's character design is noted here as being influenced by Osamu Tezuka and is a homage to classic style shōjo manga artists such as Miyako Maki, Makoto Takahashi, Hideko Mizuno, and Shotaro Ishinomori (a guy).
From volume 16 and on, the "Editor's Comments" section was omitted from the English-language adaptation by Viz Media, as P. Duffield, the editor and one responsible for them, was no longer working on the project, as mentioned in the final segment of the "Editor's Comments" in volume 15.[3]
Please Save My Earth was written and drawn by Saki Hiwatari. The series was serialized by Hakusensha in the monthly shōjo (aimed at teenage girls) manga magazine Hana to Yume from 1987 to 1994. The serial installments were collected, without chapter divisions, in 21 tankōbon volumes. The series was later reissued in 12 bunkoban volumes in 1998. It is licensed in English in North America by Viz Media, with all volumes translated.
Please Save My Earth was adapted as an original video animation (OVA) directed by Kazuo Yamazaki and produced by Production I.G. The six-episode OVA anime covers roughly the first half of the manga storyline.
The OVA is licensed in English by Viz Media. As of September 2007, it is out of print.[4]
|This section requires expansion. (January 2009)
Please Save My Earth Movie: From Alice to Rin-kun is a two-hour movie narrated by Alice, reminiscing on the events of the OVA as she is on her way to meet with Rin in a park. The "present day" scenes of Alice and Rin from the movie add scenes that were not present in the manga.
Image videos[edit]
Please Save My Earth Music Image Video: The Passing of the Golden Age contains six music videos with footage not seen in the OVA and scenes taken from the manga, as well as a slightly different version of the OVA ending sequence, and the ending credits for the image videos.
These image videos were released with the movie on a single DVD in Japan entitled "Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte Vol.4" (Victor Entertainment, VIBF-77).
|This section requires expansion. (June 2008)
As of 2006, over 15 million copies of Please Save My Earth volumes had sold in Japan, making it one of the best-selling shōjo manga ever.[5]
Starting in volume 8 of the manga, a disclaimer appeared at the bottom of the first page of every compilation volume, stating that the story was entirely fictional. This was due to disturbing letters to Hiwatari received from people who were convinced that they had been part of the moon scientist's society (or even one of the moon scientists themselves) and had been reborn on Earth.[6] These disclaimers have since appeared in her others works, most notably on the first pages of each volume of Global Garden.
Several manga artists have cited Please Save My Earth as an influence on them, including Naoko Takeuchi[citation needed] and Bisco Hatori.[7]

Recent hardening of the rhetoric between Congressional Republicans and the White House is leading to growing acknowledgment that across-the-board reductions in federal agency budgets are likely to be imposed, at least temporarily, beginning March 1st. Government contractors serving nearly every federal agency can expect to be affected by delays, stop-work orders, and/or contract changes to postpone or reduce the government's cost of contract performance.
Federal contracts give the government the right to impose schedule delays in contractor performance, direct work stoppages, and order changes in the delivery schedule, but the government does not have the right to impose the costs of those actions on contractors – provided the contractors take timely action to preserve their rights to compensation for those increased costs.

General Counsel are embracing legal process outsourcing due to slashed 2009 budgets. Law firms are no longer the only source for quality legal services. Instead, firms are only one choice on an ever-larger menu of options for corporate counsel.
"Great things have been predicted for legal process outsourcing (LPO) over the years – it was once claimed that 80,000 US legal jobs would move to India by 2015 – but the reality has not matched the hype. With the downturn biting and businesses looking to slash costs, could it be an idea whose time has finally come?"

The Celebrate Israel Festival on May 31 at Pier 94, slated to be the largest gathering to date of Israeli-Americans in New York.
One last strange twist: A grandson of the mufti of Gaza is today a leading Hamas terrorist, and has served as the Hamas representative in Damascus. Some of Rabbi Ohana's grandchildren in Israel are in possession of manuscripts written by the mufti. It is their hope that once Hamas is finally defeated and peace is established, the manuscripts will be turned over to the descendents of the mufti, Rabbi Ohana's close friend.

I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
If your new to this genre this is a good place to start. They spent some money on this and did it right. It is mostly Erotica with a small bit of porn. I believe this will appeal to Men and Women. The Narrator is excellent. It starts out with the first two chapters sounding like a well written fantasy novel. Matter of fact if this author writes a long fantasy novel , with or with out sex, I believe I would be interested in it.
To me erotica is mostly meant for women. It is the better written stuff, has a strong woman character and Muscled Men. The writing is so descriptive that you will feel you are there. Erotica is more socially acceptable and women will admit to reading it. Erotica has lots of reviews by women and are usually titled, Hot or Hoooooot!!!
Porn is mostly enjoyed by men. There are not usually worried about how anyone is feeling. The more partners the better. Porn rarely gets reviewed, as it is not socially acceptable. Yet someone is buying it. This steps out of the erotica for one scene in which the heroine does two men at once. This scene is not hot, it is stimulating.
Let me repeat that the writing is above grade in this. I am not usually one who needs my fantasies to have impossibly large breast, but I have to admit that phrase stayed with me throughout the story.
On the other hand, the story is very short and does not follow the summary. The summary goes on about a women being forced. There is no force in this. She does everything willingly. She looks forward to doing these things. The Vikings are tender. I thought that was a little stupid. One Viking does not bother her the first night even though his body shows he is willing. She is a slave, but the Vikings want to win her attention with there abilities. A lot of women are not going to listen to this because they put the word Cum in the title. I believe that was a big mistake.
I liked the descriptive writing, all things Viking interest me and I like the fantasy atmosphere, I also like the narrator, I will be getting the next in the series.

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma on Thursday hinted that India was open to the idea of allowing private banks to open their branches in Pakistan and also open up new land trade routes in Punjab and Rajasthan.
"Let both the countries first establish two branches each of the nationalised banks in each other's territory. Then we can also look at the possibility of expanding the area of further co-operation by bringing in the role of private sector banks. We are open to allowing private sector banks also doing business in each other's country,'' Mr. Sharma told a Pakistan Business Council headed by Ali. S. Habib.
Referring to opening up of more land trade routes, Mr. Sharma informed the Pakistan delegation that India was keen on opening up new land routes from Khokhrapar-Munnbao in Rajasthan connecting Sindh in Pakistan and another point on the Indian side of Punjab. A modern integrated check post (ICP) has been set up by India at Attari border near Amritsar for trade facilitation. The ICP was operationalised on April 13. "It would be beneficial to the business communities of both sides if Pakistan allows all items not in the negative list to be traded across the land border at Attari-Wagah. We are keen on Khokhrapar-Munabao. A joint working group was being set up for this purpose. I believe there is a similar desire from the Pakistan side so that other states of Pakistan are also connected,'' Mr. Sharma said.
Similarly, Mr. Sharma informed the delegation that India was working on the South Asia Textile Cooperation Policy with an eye on helping its neighbours. This assurance has come after a member of the Pakistan delegation pointed that his country's textile industry was given a different treatment by India as compared to other neighbouring countries, including Bangladesh and this should be done away with immediately.
Referring to the introduction of new visa regime between the two nations, Mr. Sharma said Pakistan should operationalise the process soon for smooth movement of businessmen from both countries. India and Pakistan signed a new visa agreement on September 8 in Islamabad. Once implemented, the agreement will lead to liberalisation of the bilateral visa regime and introduction of a number of measures aimed at easing travel, including visits for business purposes. "The new visa agreement has still not come into force. Pakistan needs to indicate its readiness to bring into force the new visa agreement. We are ready to do so," Mr. Sharma told the delegation.
Mr. Habib said the Commerce Minister informed the delegation that steps were being taken to remove non-tariff barriers. "We have been assured that steps are being and will be taken in this regard. In so many sectors, we can cooperate. India produces all kinds of raw materials and products that Pakistan is importing. Pakistan is very strong in textiles," he added.
He said there was a need to focus on issues such as logistics, transportation, better visa regime and more points for flow of goods between the countries. The 11-member business delegation is here on a three-day visit. Bilateral trade between the two countries now stands at $2.7 billion.

The researchers measured the force which allowed them to detach different polymer chains from a surface. They tested polymers that consisted completely of links with the binding dopa adjunct and some where it was only present on a fifth or a tenth of the links. The force required to pull a single polymer from the surface was always the same: 67 piconewtons. This is equivalent to a millionth of the weight force of a flea. This force alone could not keep a shellfish on the bottom of the sea. However, the creatures attach themselves firmly with a dab containing innumerable polymer chains, which allows them to brave the movement of the waves.
"The fact that the adhesive effect is, to a certain extent, independent on the number of binding sites could be used to give the other links in the polymer other functions," says Hans-Jrgen Butt. For example, chemists could manufacture a polymer that adheres equally to different materials. Dopa bonds predominantly with metals and minerals. Chemists could provide other links in the polymer chain with adjuncts that adhere to wood, glass or bone. Adhesives which bond metal and bone would be interesting for securing artificial joints," says Wolfgang Tremel.
At first, the researchers in Mainz were puzzled as to why the adhesive strength of the polymer chains was largely independent of the number of adhesive links. "Normally, we imagine that an adhesive polymer is like a strip of scotch tape that adheres over the whole of its length," says Hans-Jrgen Butt. However, the more an adhesive strip bonds to a surface, the harder it is to pull it off. This model, which describes the adhesiveness of a polymer as a continuous force, does not apply to shellfish proteins and their artificial

Inouye's death leaves hole in HI political clout
Abercrombie will choose Inouye's successor from a list of three candidates submitted by the state Democratic party before an election is held in 2014. The party's central committee plans to meet Dec. 28 to select the candidates.
Party bylaws allow up to 21 days to submit the list, but Abercrombie has urged the party to act quickly. The next Congress is scheduled to begin Jan. 3, and an Abercrombie spokeswoman said the governor would like to appoint someone before the new Senate is sworn in. State law requires that candidates come from the same party as the prior office holder.
Whatever happens, Hawaii's four-member congressional delegation will be completely transformed.

No...can somebody explain the real attraction please ?
I have a laptop which I use...the speed with which it works in any normal given situation is very fast...this applies to any programs I`m using which are mainly music production/editing...there is no benefit that I can see in paying large amounts of money for something that replicates what I already have...unless I`ve misunderstood what its all about...which wouldn`t be a first.
Just how much benefit is something that is a mili-micro-second faster (than what you already have) for the average user ?... I`m open to learning.

The invention relates to a method of determining the distribution of marginal traffic capacity of given cells in a radio cell system comprising base stations with associated coverage areas and radio stations within the coverage areas of the cell. Compatibility calculations are performed for each element or a selective selection of elements of an exclusion matrix. The channels are redistributed in this way iteratively in dependence of the time dependent traffic need in each cell.

producing a channel exclusion matrix for each base station of radio channels to be not used by a base station based upon the geographic location of said base station and the channels employed by each base station, the channels used by physically adjacent base stations and indicative of the physical relationship of each base station in the system to other base stations in the system;
dynamically altering said exclusion matrix based upon traffic need within said system to produce a dynamically altered exclusion matrix; and
allocating for radio transmission various radio frequency channels for each base station in said system based upon said dynamically altered exclusion matrix.
2. A method as in claim 1 wherein:
said step of dynamically altering occurs on a repetitive basis.
3. A method as in claims 1 or 2 further comprising the steps of:
creating an initial marginal list of channel allocations for a given base station;
selecting a base station to transmit based upon a priority of channels allocated to the base stations in the system and the location of the mobile station to be contacted;
altering the exclusion matrix of all base stations in the system based upon the selection of said base station which is transmitting; and
removing from the exclusion matrix of the selected base station any entry indicative of the selected channel upon which the communication is proceeding.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/952,795, filed on Sep. 28, 1992, now abandoned.
The present invention is applicable to radio systems comprising base stations and associated substations in the case where a channel plan is given for all cells of the system. The term cell refers to the solid angle irradiated by a specific antenna system and providing coverage according to given coverage limit values. Thus, a base station can sustain a plurality of cells having various antenna diagrams, bearings and effective transmitted power. The invention is used in radio cell systems in which a control unit for channel allocation is provided in each cell. According to the invention a method of indicating, in dependence of the traffic need and a primary given channel plan, at which cells in an existing mobile radio system it is possible to change the capacity by adding more channels per cell at the same time as the number of channels per cell is reduced in other cells.
The mobile radio systems in various countries are growing rapidly, especially in large urban areas, and new methods are developed to achieve traffic handling with an efficient utilization of radio frequency aspects. In many places of the world computer programs are beginning to be used to perform channel allocation. These programs utilize information about which cells that can not share a channel with, or have a neighbouring channel with, any other cell, said information being described by a so-called exclusion matrix. The solutions obtained so far represent stationary solutions in which the channels once and for all are fixed for fixed base stations or cells. However, there is a need to redistribute the channels for different cells in dependence of the traffic need in the course of the day. The method proposed by the invention is useful if an exlusion matrix for every cell in the radio system is available and a channel plan of the cells in the system. The channel plan satisfies a stationary partial need of capacity in the system. The method results in the possibility of redistributing the capacity in the various cells of the mobile radio system.
Thus, the present invention provides a method of determining the distribution of marginal traffic capacity for given cells in a radio cell system comprising a number of base stations with cells and associated coverage areas, and radio stations within the coverage areas of the cells. The characterizing feature of the invention is that compatibilty calculations are performed for each element or a selective selection of elements of an exclusion matrix with respect to all or a selective selection of channels in a given channel allocation in such a manner that a list can be generated for alternative channels for each cell within the base stations. Thereafter, a distribution of maximal traffic capacity for the cell in terms of the number of realizable channels per cell is calculated by selecting cells with alternative, not mutually excluding possible channels in accordance with a given order of priority, by examining alternative possible channels according to the list in a further order of priority, and by adding one of the possible channels to the cell, resulting in a new channel plan and exclusion matrix, which creates the basis of a new list. This procedure is iterated until no alternative channel for the cell can be found in the list and hence no further channel for the cell can be added, or the remaining cells are uninteresting in view of their low priority according to a given order of priority. Similarly, channels may be subtracted in low priority cells and thus, their capacity is decreased. The orders of priority are naturally dependent of the current traffic situation in the system. In means provided centrally, for instance a computer, the allocation of the required number of channels per cell can be made dependent of the traffic need in every moment, which is assumed to be known and recorded and continuously updated in a memory unit provided centrally, and the above control unit in each cell in question obtains information continuously about the momentary valid channel plan in order to enable connection of the for the moment best, in view of the traffic demand, possible channels.

FIG. 8a and 8b are flow charts according to this invention.
The following description is based on a realization with a specific example having a degree of complexity comparable with that of NMT 900 in the Stockholm area. In table 1 is shown a channel allocation in the form of a list having lines of element numbers and, at the left, associated channels having the designations 1, 21, 2, 22, etc. As noted, the table shown in FIG. 1, is a "channel plan" where the left column is the frequency of channels for example, 1, 21, 2, 22, etc., with Channels 1 and 21, 21 and 22 being, for example, neighboring channels (i.e., they use an adjacent frequency). Each of the individual lines represent a cell allocated to the respective frequencies (i.e., cell numbers 27, 53, and 55 etc. use the frequency 1 and cell numbers 3, 9, and 20 etc. use the frequency 21, etc). The reason for the designations 1, 21, 2, 22, etc. is that the channel allocation relates to a mobile radio system having so-called interleaved channels. Obviously succeeding channels are neighbouring channels, for instance 21 and 2. For each channel it is possible to read out what elements are to be assigned to this channel, for instance the elements 27, 53, 55, etc. are to be assigned to channel 1. What cells these element numbers relate to can be read from the exclusion matrix, see table 2. The number of elements in the cell equals the number of channels allocated to the cell and thus, is an expression of the capacity that may be handled by the cell. In the exclusion matrix of table 2, however, it happens to be only one channel per cell. A prerequisite of enabling allocation of allocating the same channel to different elements is that the exclusion matrix does not contain cochannel exclusions between these elements. Cochannels exclusion and neighbouring channel exclusion are represented by two element number series included in each element. These two number series indicate the elements that are excluded to have a channel being cochannel and neighbouring channel or cochannel, respectively, to the element under study. Thus, if we consider the elements to which channel 21 is allocated and the corresponding elements of the exclusion matrix it may be seen that these elements do not have any mutual cochannel exclusions or neighbouring channel exclusions,,and neither any neighbouring channel exclusions with respect to the elements allocated the channels 1, 2. The invention is exemplified by the following procedure:
The flow charts 8a and 8b depict the following steps:
1. Select element number 1 of the exclusion matrix. Can channel number 1 be allocated to this element? The question is answered by calculating from the exclusion matrix all cochannel exclusions and neighbouring channel exclusions generated by elements,having the numbers 27, 53, 55, etc., and all neighbouring channel exclusions generated by the elements having the numbers 3, 9, 20, etc. If among these exclusions number 1 is not found as cochannel exclusion or as neighbouring channel exclusion, and if the elements 27, 53, etc. are not found as cochannel or neighbouring channel exclusions among the exclusions of element 1 of the exclusion matrix, and if the elements 3, 9, etc. are not found as neighbouring channels of an exclusion of the element 1 of the exclusion matrix, channel 1 can be allocated to element 1. The fact that element 1 can be on channel 1 is entered in a list comprising element numbers, cell numbers and possible channel candidates compatible with the channel. We call this list marginal list, see table 3. FIG. 3 in the table contained therein relates to a marginal list obtained by generating a marginal list according to the flow chart 8a using the channel plan of Table 1 and the exclusion matrix of Table 2 (for example the first element says that station A1 can use the channels 22 and 8 that is the station may be extended with channel 8 since the channel 22 is the original channel according to the channel plan).
2. Select again element number 1 of the exclusion matrix. Can channel 21 be allocated to this element? To obtain an answer to this question the above procedure is repeated The calculations will be more comprehensive this time, since channel 21 as opposed to channel 1 has two neighbouring channels, and channel exclusions for every element thereof must be retrieved from the exclusion matrix. Furthermore, the neighbouring channel exclusions of element number 1 have to be checked against the elements of the channels 1, 21 and 2. In case channel 21 can be allocated to element 21 this is entered in the channel list.
3. The above procedure is repeated until it has been verified if channels 21, 2, 22, 3, etc., through the last channel 29 can be allocated to element 1 and if it is possible to allocate the respective channel an entry is made in the marginal list.
4. The above procedure with the steps 1-3 is repeated until every element of the matrix has been examined and thereby also every cell.
The current marginal list generated by the channel allocation of table 1 and exclusion matrix of table 2 is shown in table 3. It will happen that channel alternatives of a given element is presented being mutually exclusive, see e.g. possible channels for cell A 13, where channel 9 excludes both channel 28 and channel 29.
Therefore, if cell A 13 has channel 9 it can not be enlarged with further channels. If instead channel 28 is allocated to the cell also channel 29 can be added. For this reason the number of alternatives is not a direct expression of the geographical distribution of overall free capacity of the channel allocation. However, the list expresses the degree of free marginal capacity, i.e. the capacity of absorbing at least one further channel in an arbitrary cell. Through the following procedure it is possible to derive a distribution of the cells having the largest possible traffic handled by the system:
1. Begin with element 1 of the marginal list of table 3, if the corresponding cell has the highest priority with respect to capacity need, and note that one further channel can be accommodated in cell 1, meaning that the cell can have both channels 22 and 8. Thus, add an additional element to the exclusion matrix having the exclusions corresponding to cell A 1. The new elements of the exclusion matrix should be provided with cochannel exclusions with respect to the old element and, if necessary, which we assume here, neighbouring channel exclusions. If the new element relating to cell A 1 gets the serial number 2 it will be necessary to renumber all succeeding elements of the exclusion matrix and new versions of the lists in tables 1 to 3 have to be generated. In case no channel alternative exists of a selected cell the next cell in the order of priority is selected.
2. A new marginal list analogous with the list of table 3 is generated for the new channel plan and the new exclusion matrix. The procedure of generating the marginal list is described above.
3. The procedure according to 1 and 2 is repeated, now with a new cell from the new marginal list, said cell being selected with a high priority from a traffic point of view, which allows extension with one further channel.
4. The procedure 1 to 3 is repeated until there are no additional channels left at one's disposal or until there are only such cells left that do not require an extension of the capacity.
5. When the above procedure is finished the result is a marginal list reflecting the maximal capacity of the cell system for the special order of priority of cells and channels selected when extending the capacity of the cells in the series of marginal lists. Obviously, it is only desired to extend the capacity of the cells that have the heaviest load from a traffic point of view. Table 4 shows an example of a marginal list being result of the above procedure when it is completed until no further capacity remains. As may be seen, the alternatives represented are all mutually exclusive and cannot increase the capacity of the cell further. The resulting channel plan is shown in table 5 and the maximal capacity per cell is shown in table 6. The table shown in FIG. 4 shows the results of extending the capacity of the system according to Table 1 through 3 using the procedure set forth in the flow chart 8b and Table 5 becomes the corresponding "new" channel plan. As may be seen from Table 4 the new channels have been added (for example Elements numbers 1 and 2 relate to station A 1 with the channels 22 and 8 respectively. Table 6 shows the number of channels per station in accordance with Table 4.
In an already established mobile radio system the above method is used to redistribute the channels of the system. This is done by transferring information about the traffic need of the various parts of the radio system from the various radio stations to centrally provided means, e.g. a computer calculating a new order of priority with respect to the present traffic need.
