Peptide Recognition Domains (PRDs) are commonly found in signaling proteins. They mediate protein-protein interactions by recognizing and binding short motifs in their ligands. Although a great deal is known about PRDs and their interactions, prediction of PRD specificities remains largely an unsolved problem.
We present a novel approach to identifying these Specificity Determining Residues (SDRs). Our algorithm generalizes earlier information theoretic approaches to coevolution analysis, to become applicable to this problem. It leverages the growing wealth of binding data between PRDs and large numbers of random peptides, and searches for PRD residues that exhibit strong evolutionary covariation with some positions of the statistical profiles of bound peptides. The calculations involve only information from sequences, and thus can be applied to PRDs without crystal structures. We applied the approach to PDZ, SH3 and kinase domains, and evaluated the results using both residue proximity in co-crystal structures and verified binding specificity maps from mutagenesis studies.
Our predictions were found to be strongly correlated with the physical proximity of residues, demonstrating the ability of our approach to detect physical interactions of the binding partners. Some high-scoring pairs were further confirmed to affect binding specificity using previous experimental results. Combining the covariation results also allowed us to predict binding profiles with higher reliability than two other methods that do not explicitly take residue covariation into account.
The general applicability of our approach to the three different domain families demonstrated in this paper suggests its potential in predicting binding targets and assisting the exploration of binding mechanisms.

This template just got rejected, can you help me figure out what to change to get it accepted? http://xhtmlsource.com/templates/nextBigThing/ http://xhtmlsource.com/templates/nextBigThing/subpage.html
what did the rejection email state was the problem?
"This template has a nice concept going but doesn't aesthetically meet our criteria. The header makes the template feel off balance and several of the template elements need some visual improvements. Try to spend some more time improving the overall aesthetics of the template more along the lines of the Web 2.0 category."
Which parts need to be improved? And I personally don't see the issue with the header but if I could get more opinions that would be great!
Wow, very surprised this was rejected, I think it looks good, and I am usually picky. Maybe your "try it now" buttons need work, but other than that it looks great.
Thanks, dotsona! I'll try adding some gradients to the try it now buttons. Also maybe I'll extend the logo box out and include the entire logo text inside of it. That should help with the balance issue. Other than that, I'm not sure what to say.
Here's a little more input:
The header is two different colors giving it a different "weight" on each side. The light green used on the right side of the header isn't used anywhere else except in the footer. This throws off the color scheme balance to start with.
Then you have many elements that are boxed with a few using rounded corners. The mix of this type of design isn't the problem but the particular execution of it is. The way the navigation is setup is fairly dated in terms of design as well as certain other elements like the two blocks to the right of the slider.
The footer has the same feel as the navigation (it is dated in terms of design).
The layout itself also doesn't flow very well. By flow I mean that when you look at it you should be guided through the content but instead it feels visually awkward.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great start but it needs some improvements before it will be ready. I hope this helps.
Ok thanks for the extra input! Should I scrap the rounded corners altogether? How could I make the content flow more smoothly so it isn't "awkward"?
Also, if the boxes to the right of the slider are dated, what should I put there instead?
I made some changes and I'm going to re-submit now. Let's hope it gets accepted this time.

Just loaded some Ektar 100 in one of mine.

Just loaded some Ektar 100 in one of mine.
UR one lucky photographer! $100 for a F2AS plus 1.4 lens is a bargain!
Ran a 36x cassette of Legacy Pro through my DE-1 after refoam in street mkt to check for leaks last Friday. Forgot to do the foam under vfdr eye piece and lens heliciod loose.
I use two F2 and 2 Nikkormats regularly. I do not like to change lenses, so every camera has his own permanent lens. And it is good training to carry around these two heavy beasts.
'Does anyone still use their Nikon F2 regularly?'
Are you kidding me? What kind of question is that?;) More importanly the question is which F2...AS, SB, plain prism...decisions, decisions!
do many people use F3 screens?
Sover Wong in the UK sent me a email that he has sent my Nikon F2 Photomic back from an overhaul. It was a rather extensive
job, but he sent me pictures of the mess and told me what he did.
So, I hope to have a real nice, useable Nikon F2 Photomic in my hands in a week or so.
Here, you should find your answer: http://www.soverf2repair.webs.com/
But, my camera needed quite extensive work. It needed an overhaul of the body and light meter with
the addition of 2 new CDS cells. Your cameras may be in better shape than mine.
I'd never be able to sell the camera for what I paid, just for the overhaul, but then, I don't intend to sell it, I want to use it.
I hope this helps.
When I get the camera back, and run a few rolls I'll have a better idea.

Amtrak, TSA and Local Law Enforcement Deploy Across Northeast Corridor Rail Stations
Operation ALERTS underway today from Virginia to Vermont
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — During today's morning and evening commutes, Amtrak Police, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel and law enforcement officers from more than 100 federal, state, local, rail and transit police agencies are being deployed at approximately 150 passenger rail stations throughout the Northeast Corridor region in an exercise of expanded counterterrorism and incident response capabilities.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090401/TSALOGO )
The multi-force security surge across 13 states and Washington, D.C., is NOT in response to any particular threat or incident. Rather, today's deployment is part of Operation ALERTS (Allied Law Enforcement for Rail and Transit Security), a coordinated effort involving activities such as heightened station patrols, increased security presence onboard trains, explosives detection canine sweeps, and random passenger bag inspections at unannounced locations.
"Operation ALERTS will enhance the readiness and communication capabilities of hundreds of police and security officials stationed in some of the heaviest rail passenger areas along the Northeast Corridor," said Amtrak Police Chief John O'Connor. "Our law enforcement partners in this deployment represent first responder agencies that will protect and defend the railways during any type of emergency or potential threat."
Over the past few years, terrorist attacks, attempts and plots around the globe have specifically targeted rail and mass transit. The security implications of this activity in the United States, particularly in the region with the greatest concentration of public transportation users, have spurred the formation of a strong coalition of transportation and law enforcement agencies in the Northeast Corridor area. Approximately 750,000 rail passengers ride Amtrak trains along the Northeast Corridor and other commuter rail systems integrated with the Corridor each day.
"Regional partnerships, like those so well exhibited in the Northeast Corridor today, are critical to ensuring the safety of the traveling public in our nation's rail and transit systems," said John Sammon, TSA assistant administrator, Transportation Sector Network Management (TSNM). "The commitment of State and local departments has been particularly impressive, producing a unified effort that has expanded the range of resources for the random and unpredictable security activities that are essential to deterrence. We look forward to conducting more of these operations in the future, varying in size, timing, and location."
Today's operation illustrates the growing cooperation among police departments in States, cities, and towns throughout the northeast with their partners in Amtrak, commuter rail and mass transit systems, and TSA. The deployed police officers will provide a visible security presence, on alert for and ready to investigate suspicious activities and items. Bolstering these efforts are TSA's Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response Teams, or VIPR Teams, operating at and around multiple stations in random, unannounced deployments. These teams bring to bear specialized capabilities in monitoring for surveillance, detecting suspicious behaviors, and supporting random security inspections with mobile explosives detection equipment. The main focus of VIPR operations is to deploy TSA resources to augment local security and law enforcement capabilities and foster deterrence through coordinated actions with local transportation entities and law enforcement.
Amtrak and TSA plan to conduct similar joint operations regionally along the Northeast
Corridor area in the future, as well as in other parts of our nation's rail system as part of an enhanced security strategy. Today's deployments will be reviewed to identify lessons learned as part of a continuous improvement approach, including evaluation of requirements and tactics for effective response to any future threats or incidents within the railway system. The operation also provides an important model for developing regional "templates" that will facilitate smaller-scale, but more frequent, joint rail security operations.
Operation ALERTS is underway today at rail stations in 13 states — Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia — as well as Washington, D.C.

i heard that Black Mesa is up my *** so shut tha *** up bout where it is~
cause u 2 r annoying me... ^_^"
i got this mod but its missing files, what the crap
its in new mexico.. i just bought the platnim pack of hl, bs, opforce, cs, and tfc. i lost my last hl copy..
Actually, Black Mesa is in Arizona last I heard.
Well what do you want the homepage as well as the link works perfectly
Ive had some trouble with my webspace including the eftd page so Im sorry. I wonder why people are still playing it though I released it that long ago :)
Keep my other projects in mind. Thanks for playing again!! Some might not enjoy it well I did both developing and playing :)
Well it looks realy nice, but r_speeds are realy bad, and the use of models / sprites was over done to the point of making some points of the game hard to play. But the maps looked nice and the story wasent just another "Freeman finds his way out of the black masa area". On another note the New Mexico area in this dosnt look any thing like the real New Mexico (palm trees?) :)
mod looks sweet from the screens but the home page == borked so here is a link for the dl i found...
oh I want to down load this
download page is n/a :(
Great mod, but you need a comp thats better than mine. Maps are brilliant and good gameplay + weapons.
Also, i got stuck after several map changes (eg, in wall, small hill) but maybe thats just my comp.

The mod has some things going for it, the custom weapons, custom grunts with desert camo, and one that had a sugegasa (bamboo hat), custom snow grunts and some unique locals. But unfortunately its not enough to save it from the invisible wall syndrome. Many places that seem like you can go, you can't... alot of the time for no real reason. Like when you go down a stair way thats broken on the end, you can't even jump to your death. A place where there was a a fairly large broken hole in the wall…

The Delaware State Bar Association has recently proposed an amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DCGL") that would significantly modify the way acquisitions of Delaware public companies are effected by eliminating the need to obtain stockholder approval for a second-step merger in a two-step transaction (i.e., an acquisition structured as a tender offer followed by a back-end merger). While commentators have focused primarily on how the proposed amendment would change how friendly acquirers, and in particular private equity sponsors, use tender offers to acquire public companies in negotiated transactions, the proposed DGCL amendment would also provide similar timing and cost benefits to transactions that commence with an unsolicited tender offer, but end with a negotiated merger agreement.
The newly proposed Section 251(h) of the DGCL, which would apply only to targets with shares that are listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders immediately prior to the execution of the merger agreement, provides that certain conditions must be satisfied for a stockholder vote not to be required in connection with a second-step merger following consummation of a tender or exchange offer, including...

Bad Boy Mase has spent the past six months patiently working himself back into the game, from the pulpit to the mic, one remix verse and surprise appearance at a time. Next week, Mase is scheduled to make a big return next week with a feature on G.O.O.D. Music's much anticipated all-star comp, Cruel Summer. And before then, he's warming up with a quick verse on Miguel's slinky showstopper, "Adorn," off of his Kaleidoscope Dreams: Water Preview.
Mase uses his opening verse to spoil his object of his adoration with vacations to all the "places Mrs. Obama went" and "gifts that are prominent." Because "every bad girl need 'em a good guy," he raps, flow back in familiar form. He sounds comfortable alongside a tender Miguel, and this team-up lends a helpful relevance to a rapper long looking for a welcome back and a nice name check for the young R&B artist well on the come-up.
Miguel, meanwhile, has unloaded the next installment of his Kaleidoscope Dream trilogy, The Air Preview, available for stream now over at The Fader. Kaleidoscope Dream drops in full on October 2nd.

CBS CEO Moonves Says Company No Longer Interested in CNN
Aug. 7 (Bloomberg) -- CBS Corp. no longer wants to buy CNN now that it's unlikely to be put up for sale, Chief Executive Officer Les Moonves said.
Moonves had expressed interest last month in buying the 24-hour news channel if it became available after Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Inc. made an unsolicited takeover bid for the current owner, Time Warner Inc.
Murdoch had said he would sell CNN if his takeover effort prevailed. He withdrew the $75 billion bid this week after being rejected by Time Warner's board and said his decision not to pursue the company further was "resolute."
Moonves made his comments today during a conference call following CBS's second-quarter earnings report.

LBT procedures are complicated...
The government has started Local Body Tax (LBT) and given wide powers to LBT cell, officers for search and seizure of goods with traders, which can be used on a fallacious ground and doubt. It will create harassment for traders. LBT is a very complicated system making traders maintain records and paper work. Traders say that among the 2 evils of LBT and Octroi, the latter is a lesser evil. In fact traders are demanding that they don't want LBT and octroi system of taxing. They suggest that the government should simplify the procedure to avoid unnecessary harassment from officers for paperwork. If there 2 or 3 products that are used for manufacturing another item, for LBT the trader has to isolate and maintain count of all the products, which is a lengthy process. In short the provision of imposing LBT is very complicated.
—SK Jain, Advocate
Don't want either LBT or Octroi...
In our recent meeting with the chief minister of Maharashtra, they asked whether they should start Octroi again and remove LBT. Our demand is that both LBT and Octroi shouldn't exist. In a busy life of a trader, LBT work process becomes cumbersome, time consuming and complicated to understand. The city of Pune has shown a highest collection of LBT in the state and the CM has also appreciated it. Our demand is that the taxing system should be simplified by including the LBT tax within the VAT as an additional surcharge, so we traders can finish the procedure in one go. For last 30 years we had been fighting with the government to remove Octroi, so we don't want it back.
Popatlal Oswal, President, Federation of Traders Association of Pune (FTAP)
No mechanism to counter corruption
Octroi taxing system is a more corrupt system that LBT. The government had proposed to remove Octroi and replace it with Value Added Tax (VAT). The practice of LBT or Octroi system isn't seen in India and abroad, it is used solely by Maharashtra govt. I agree that the LBT is an income for the government meant for the expenditure on development purpose. The government expenditure is always over priced and does not match the market price. If the government removes corruption from their system, I don't think they will need to tax the citizens heavily.
—Suryakant Pathak, MD, Grahak Peth
They should compromise...
We opposed Octroi in the first place because at every check-naka, the vehicle was stopped and the authorities mentally harassed the people by asking them to produce documents they don't require. I feel that both the government and the FTAP should compromise a little and come to a common solution. The Government should be more open about how the money collected will be used, as people would want it for public good. Due to corruption the money collected does not go to good causes. We had suggested to the govt to charge the vehicles, who have national permit, Rs30,000 per annum so that it could be settled for once. It was ignored.
—Krishna More, Vice President, Poona District Motor Goods Transport Association
Bringing Octroi back is of no use
One of the issues with LBT is the book keeping effort and cost that increases. One has to keep all monthly receipts and then submit the return when the year ends, this becomes a major worry for small as well as big traders. This was not the case when Octroi was levied since it only needed the bill to be presented at the check point which ended the issue there itself. Government's suggestion of bringing Octroi back is of no use. They should implement what the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) has done and introduce the surcharge on VAT which will go directly to the state governments. If the local corporations have issues with money coming from state, then this is a trust issue which they should solve among themselves.
—Keshav Shingre, accountant, Chitale Bandhu
Govt doesnt know what it wants...
I am a local trader, hence Octroi is not a big issue for someone who gets his goods from local markets and dealers. For people who get them from out of state, it becomes an issue and the state government should avoid going back to Octroi implementation. Every 3 months the authorities come to check the receipts and they have no idea what documents they want. Not only do the traders have to keep even the smallest of receipts, they also have to answer these authorities and show the documents they want.
—Dilip Jain, proprietor, Bhavesh traders

Your Excellency Dr. Najafi, Vice-President of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
Your Excellency Mr. Foruzanmehr, Governor General of Khorasan Razavi,
Mr. Alavi, Vice-President of the Astan-e-Ghods-e-Razavi,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure to be here on my first ever visit to Khorasan Razavi and the holy city of Mashhad.
I am also honoured to address this esteemed gathering of high-ranking officials and professionals from the Organization of Islamic Conference countries and other guests.
I am quite new to this beautiful country, but not very new to the subject of this Conference.
I have worked with the United Nations for 26 years. And this time has taken me to many lands.
Some of these years were served in hubs for "medical tourism." First India. Then, later, Thailand. And I drew many conclusions from this experience.
One conclusion was that the globalized nature of our era and the revolutionary boom in communications have both made several parts of the world effective destinations for medical travelers.
The number of people receiving medical assistance in other countries constitutes a huge industry globally.
Global estimates suggest that 100 billion dollars were spent on health tourism in 2012.
This trend is expected to continue – and to expend.
Travelling abroad for medical care takes place for various purposes and in various ways.
But there are two major categories of patients.
First are those who travel to other countries to seek medical services that are not available in their own home countries.
Second, there are those who seek medical care in other countries, even though they can get such services in their own countries. They do this because they can get comparable services at lower prices.
The first category includes those seeking humanitarian assistance. The second category falls under the definition of health tourism.
Now, from what I know about Iran's health sector, I gather that Iran is a destination for both categories of patients.
While the latter category mainly opt for receiving treatment in private sector health facilities, the former relies more on public sector services – services which are provided without discrimination. Often they are almost free.
Given the higher capacity of Iran's health sector compared with some other countries in the region, Iran receives cross border inflow of patients suffering some specific illnesses like tuberculosis. This, we know, has created a significant burden, and risk, on Iran's public health sector, particularly in border provinces, including here in the city of Mahsad.
For over three decades, Iran has shouldered the burden of millions of refugees. And for many years, these refugees have received services – including medical services – without discrimination. Recently, in collaboration with the UN Refugee Agency, the Government has even been providing health insurance.
This level of support – over so many years – is something which is not sufficiently recognized by the world community.
Nonetheless, our subject today is health tourism.
And my conclusion, in reviewing the current and potential capacities if Iran, is that Iran can potentially become a major centre for health tourism.
There is a strong medical infrastructure. There is a relatively well-equipped and skilled private sector. Care and treatment costs are reasonable compared with many developed and even other developing countries.
Weather conditions are generally favourable. There is existing demand in the region. There is even the potential for combining both health tourism and cultural tourism.
These are among the opportunities that Iran possesses.
Against this backdrop of opportunities, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed if the opportunities and advantages are to be translated into real action.
Upper-level strategies and development plans in Iran call for prioritization to health tourism. But, at the same time, there is a need for downstream action to support these strategic goals.
There is a a need to standardize medical practices – a point recognized in the previous three Health Tourism Conferences.
There is need to establish a logistical support network, to realign services according to needs, to disseminate information on available services.
There are also ethical and rights-based concerns that should be taken into full consideration when planning to tap the capacities and resources for absorbing international patients.
Care must be taken to avoid the diversion of care and treatment away from domestic citizens towards international clients. Care must be taken to prevent the escalation of health costs as a result. Care must be taken to avoid the commercialization of the doctor-patient relationship.
As the UN Resident Coordinator in Iran, let me conclude by emphasizing that medical tourism can be a platform to promote cooperation among developing countries. This is what we call "South-South Cooperation".
This can provide OIC countries with great opportunities to share capacities, to swap professionals and to develop technologies.
And it is in this area that the UN system stands ready to support.
In conclusion, I would say that by sharing its public health and medical expertise – by providing health services to foreigners – by promoting health tourism – Iran can, and I believe will, develop further its already significant public health capability.
Kheily motashekaeram.

"I love my thank you cards. I ordered extra so I could have some for myself. They came so fast and were perfect. Thank you! :)"
"I really loved the design of this card! The dress is just beautiful against the soft pink background with the gold accents! Everyone LOVED it!"
"Thank you cards look great. I am very pleased with my whole order. Brides out there check Wedding Paper Divas for your needs."
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience."
"We purchased these thank you notes because they coordinated with our invitations. Great quality and an elegant yet fun design. I can't wait to mail them out!"

Call for Desperate Yards – Last Yard Care Intervention Opportunity for the Summer
MILWAUKEE, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Anyone who has felt the frustration of trying to tame a crazy-bad lawn and yard should listen up: there's still time to win a yard intervention this summer at www.yardsmartsintervention.com.
Homeowners can apply for an intervention for themselves or they can call out a neighbor, family member or friend in need of help. (Be sure to secure their permission first.) The winner will receive on-the-ground help from the Briggs & Stratton Yard Smarts team to turn their ugly yard into a beauty, plus a new lawn mower, pressure washer and $1,500 check.
Each entry should creatively explain the yard care problems and why an intervention is necessary, using either a short video or up to four photos to show the yard. Complete rules and entry guidelines can be found at www.yardsmartsintervention.com.
Five yards deemed most in need of help will be selected June 16. Public voting will determine the yard that ultimately receives an intervention sponsored by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Trey Rogers, Ph.D., known as the "Yard Doctor," will help transform the yard and deliver the new yard care equipment and the check.
Complete rules, as well as lots of yard care knowledge, can be found at www.yardsmartsintervention.com.

Will the new CEO Vishal Sikka be able to steer Infosys back to the days when it was growth leader among the Indian IT pack?
Most analysts said it will take a long time for the company to gain back that stature, however new leadership would definitely reduce uncertainty and help the company to focus on priority growth areas.
Over the last three fiscals, TCS's net profit has more than doubled to Rs 19,164 crore while Infosys profit has grown 56% to Rs 10,648 crore.
Cognizant Technologies's profit has also more than doubled in past three calendar years to Rs 7,210 crore. Infosys's profit growth has been flat over the past two fiscals despite the return of its founder N R Narayana Murthy, albeit there has been some improvement in operating margins.
"It's going to be a long struggle and it's going to take time as competition has become very steep. And Infosys has lagged by few years. The company should take a year to settle down under new leadership, and this would be testing time, as Sikka will have to understand the dna of the company," Dhananjay Sinha, head of research at Emkay Global and ex-Infoscion, said.
"How Sikka articulates the company's strategy will be key as that will define how they want to fight competition," he said.
"Getting back Infosys on growth map would be a challenge for Sikka. How he handles IT services will be very crucial as that is the major chunk of the company's revenues," Ankita Somani, analyst with MSFL Research, said.
Murthy had earlier said the company's current state was mainly a result of its lost focus on the bread-and-butter traditional IT services. The management had also admitted that its strategy called Infosys 3.0, which aimed at raising revenue share from products and platforms business as well as consulting, could not take off as planned.
"Infosys 3.0 strategy has failed to take off. The company will have to regain focus on IT services," Somani said. Sinha also agreed that the new strategy had led to significant rise in the company's costs as they had to hire specialised talent.
"TCS has raced ahead in competition as it was able to improve margins constantly with reduction in costs. I won't be surprised if Infosys brings back its focus on IT services," Sinha said.
U B Pravin Rao, the new chief operating officer, will have to work closely work with Sikka to regain advantage Infosys had in IT services, Somani said.

The study found in one test, for instance, that after the first large rainstorm in October, only 4 percent of the precipitation entering the soil ended up in the stream 96 percent was taken up and held tightly by soil around plants to recharge soil moisture. A month later when soil moisture was fully recharged, 55 percent of precipitation went directly into streams. And as winter rains continue to pour moisture into the ground, almost all of the water that originally recharged the soil around plants remains held tightly in the soil it never moves or mixes.
"This tells us that we have a less complete understanding of how water moves through soils, and is affected by them, than we thought we did," said Renee Brooks, a research plant physiologist with the EPA and courtesy faculty in the OSU Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society.
"Our mathematical models of ecosystem function are based on certain assumptions about biological processes," Brooks said. "This changes some of those assumptions. Among the implications is that we may have to reconsider how other things move through soils that we are interested in, such as nutrients or pollutants."
The new findings were made possible by advances in the speed and efficiency of stable isotope analyses of water, which allowed scientists to essentially "fingerprint" water and tell where it came from and where it moved to. Never before was it possible to make so many isotopic measurements and get a better view of water origin and movement, the researchers said.
The study also points out the incredible ability of plants to take up water that is so tightly bound to the soil, with forces nothing else in nature can match.

CeBIT 2009: Fujitsu and Siemens to Split Up
At the CeBIT in Hannover, Germany, the Fujitsu Siemens company announced a planned separation of its two entities as of April 2009.
All that will be left of the 10-year-old merger of Fujitsu and Siemens are the two letters "ji" from the Fujitsu name. The term "ji" derives from the Japanese pronunciation of Siemens ("jiimensu") when the two companies first cooperated in 1936. The new company name wasn't revealed at the CeBIT conference, but the fact is Siemens is no longer a shareholder at Fujitsu, although it remains a partner and customer. The split-up follows the already announced cost saving measures that are also to include some lay-offs.
Fujitsu continues to see Germany as a key market, according to Bernd Wagner, Germany's managing director at Fujitsu Siemens. R&D should continue to increase in that country: the Fujitsu Siemens locations in Augsburg, Sömmerda and Munich continued to come up in Wagner's presentation at CeBIT. Wagner also named India as an additional market that Fujitsu plans to pursue.

Felix And Whiskas Pouches
Hi, perhaps I am guilty of duplicating post. Not posted on here before, any thoughts on possible/probable Horsemeat content in these products.
Not saying its wrong in all aspects but we should be told what we're buying and feeding to our Cats.
I for one don't really want to know for certain what comprises the 'meat and animal derivatives' listed on cat food packaging, but I have a pretty good idea :eek: (can anyone say mechanically recovered nostrils and a*seholes?).
Given that, plus the fact that cats should naturally be eating rodents etc, I would think that horse meat would be a quality ingredient IMHO :D . Especially given that the two brand-names mentioned in the thread title often contain cereals, which cats cannot digest.
In all honesty, I doubt anyone could be 100% certain that horsemeat doesn't find it's way into pet foods anyway.
These brands aren't the best in the world, tbh.
If you are concerned about the possibility of horse in the food, you could always switch to a high quality, fish-based kibble/wet food.
I personally am not concerned about the possibility of horsemeat in these products, It would have a lot more nutrition than the majority of the ingredients. We do feed our three cats on Whiskas and Felix but what else do people recommend as being higher quality food?On the other hand our three cats do seem very healthy on it.
Mine mostly live on the Whiskas kitten steamed variety, James Wellbeloved dry and wet food and natures menu kitten food.
They also have access to Whiskas kitten biscuits.
I wish they'd eat the cheaper stuff but the gits won't :D
Time was when horsemeat was accepted as being for pet food. I haven't had a cat for 25 years and was quite suprised at the stuff we pamper our pets with now - Brooke is currently feasting on Felix Lamb with game jelly, Duck with spinach, Trout with spinach and Mackeral with tomato. On the face of it she eats better than me :D
However looking at the breakdown its only 4% lamb etc so I'd expect the rest to be random meat including horse. Frankly I'm cool with that so long as its not going to poison her.
I rarely buy boxes of Whiskas or Felix anymore because my cats are so fussy they disregard certain flavours and I end up throwing lots of food away. I tend to buy the odd individual sachet of those brands in flavours that I know Bernard will eat - even though this appears more expensive it's probably more cost effective for me and certainly less wasteful. My 2 females mainly eat science plan dry food (which I am assured by my vet provides excellent nutrition) but they will also eat the odd sachet of applaws or some of the individual 'gourmet' tins or sachets priced at up to 85p for a single portion. The females like tinned tuna as an occasional treat - not sure if tuna is a female thing because my late Tabitha also loved it and would come running from wherever she was in the house if she heard the sound of a tin opener, whereas my male cat doesn't like it at all.
I do spend a lot on cat food but I like to give my cats what they like and what I know they will probably eat. I would hope that the more expensive foods provide a higher nutritional quality and contain what they say on the label - but I may be fooling myself and succumbing to clever marketing in pet stores. I agree that in the case of pets it probably doesn't matter too much if the products contain horse meat as long as the meat is still nutritional. I'm lucky in that I haven't eaten meat since I was a teenager so I've not being eating horse meat myself, it's been a good time to be a vegetarian.
Horsemeat isn't going to hurt the cat, in fact I'd rather my cats actually eat something containing a high meat content (including horsemeat) than one that is mainly made up of fillers and other rubbish.
They catch and eat birds and mice that we have NO idea of whether they aren't riddled with disease.
The meat and fish that goes into EU petfood is almost on par with what humans can eat so I wouldn't be concerned.
The beast, at the mo, gets the the Felix foil tins as his staple diet.
We quite often get various sliced/packet meats, massively discounted late in the day; we have some, and the Beast gets the leftovers - Which he snarfs down with great pleasure.:D
Just because we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, preparing dinner, chatting and listening to R4 we fished out the packets of remainder slices and Felix cat food.
The slices had between 60% and 88% of the meat/fish content(of what it alleged to be;)) and Felix had 4% meat/fish content.
Given that his 'cat food' contains very little actual creature, and that he quite happy to kill and snarf down random small creatures and birds, I'm not too worried about him gobbling down a bit of horse.
Given his general attitude to other creatures I wouldn't be surprised his if he wanted to 'bring one down' and snarf it anyway :p
But it has, maybe moving slightly OT, wonder about what is in pet food.
The Beast is not really a picky eater, and quite often we will pick up some livers or kidney or some discounted chicken or fish and boil it up for him.
Can be just as cheap as cat food, and it isn't much of an effort to boil a bit of chicken, or rattle some liver in a pan for a few mins.
And it has made me think, that is the 96% of non meat/fish stuff in a tin for the benefit of the cat or the manufacturers?
why the big hubub over horse meat anyway?
i'd eat a horse. it'd be wasteful not to.
and infact, disrespectful to the slaughtered animal not to do so. it has been killed for a purpose already, wasting its body is literally the most disrespectful thing i could think of to happen in that situation where an otherwise healthy animal has been killed in such a way.
the main thing bothering me about this "scandal" is the amount of perfectly edible food being wasted.
i'd be quite happy for these products to end up in the bargain food shops with a sticker on them saying "may contain horse meat" and i'd buy them.
i don;t actually buy ready meals and such, but wouldn;t throw one out because it might have once gone neigh!
you never actually know what exactly is in dog and cat food anyway, the flavour on the packet is just that, a flavour.
if it says "with" that's what it is, "meat" with about 4% named ingredient, like chicken, or tuna.
probably is some horse in there (especially considering the price of it) but it won't harm the cat, to be honest it won't harm a human either. we're just picky.
about 80% of wet food is just water anyway.
To be honest. I've always assumed that the flavours of cat and dog meat were just that - flavours, rather than actually 100% beef, chicken, salmon etc.
Cats can't eat dog food because the non-meat parts of the food ( soya etc ) are the parts that have the nutrients required for each specific animal.
Tbh I always assumed catfood WAS horsemeat, with a speck of chicken carcass thrown in to give it a name.

Tartan 30 Bow Lights
Does anyone have photos of the backs of the bow light fixtures in a Tartan 30?
My original bow lights are lacking bulbs and part of the fixtures.
The fixtures themselves have no backs, so I don't know how the bulbs were originally held in place or how they were meant to be wired.
A previous owner just ran wire directly to some bulbs and then wrapped them in electrical tape. The bulk of the tape held the bulbs in place by friction until the anchor chain snagged the wires and tore it all apart.
Re: Tartan 30 Bow Lights
You'll be best to remove the fixtures from the hull and then they can be rebuilt. The lens is glass and can be cleaned up and the socket is replaceable. There are some "slotted" set screws holding it all together but you'll need to clean some corrosion off to see them and use some PB Blaster to get them apart. The sockets can be purchased at West Marine or any chandlery and are a few $$$. Re-use the lens, install a new socket and bulb and re-install in the hull. I did this project on a Tartan 30 last year but only have one shot of the fixture. Could have sworn I took more but they may be hiding on a SD card somewhere...
Re: Tartan 30 Bow Lights
Thanks! That's pretty helpful. At this point I'm torn between fixing the existing lights and mounting a LED bow light on the pulpit.
Two reasons to go LED:
1) The new light would be mounted above deck level, providing greater visibility.
2) The wiring run up to the bow is causing a 2-volt drop already. I don't think it could properly power a pair of new incandescent bulbs. The wiring is on my todo list, but LEDs would let me run with it as-is.
Reasons to repair the current lights:
1) No need to glass over the old light holes in the topsides
2) They look so much better than the LED enclosures
3) No hassles running wire through the pulpit.
4) The side lights aren't subject to as much force when the bow plows into the next wave.
So many options!

Thirty percent of America's fraud victims are 60 years of age and older. Seniors are often targeted for "free lunch" seminars. Remember the cardinal rule of "free lunches" -- there are no free lunches. There's always a catch. Not all "free lunch" seminars are scams, but almost all use high pressure tactics and deception to entice you into an investment quickly before you have an opportunity to think about it or talk it over with your family or financial advisor.
The people who conduct these seminars are fast-talkers who excel in the art of making your money their money. Many of these salesmen may encourage a one-on-one meeting in the hopes that once they're alone with you, they can more easily get you to invest.
Many of us are influenced by two factors: fear and greed. As we get older, we want to be sure we have enough financial resources money to make ends meet in our retirement years. We may over-react to an investment scheme thinking we will make some fast cash.
If you attend a financial seminar, do your homework. You may find that the seminar is legitimate and offers you a prudent investment alternative. Nevertheless, talk to your own financial advisor, your community banker, or to a trusted family member to make sure the investment is right for you.
Another investment alternative you might consider is something called a life settlement. Most of us have life insurance and think that the only way to collect on the policy is to die. However, you may be able to sell the policy and benefit from what is called a life settlement.
