By Brian HowardThere is no doubt that when Georgia meets Georgia Tech in the 100th meeting Saturday night that the Bulldogs will walk away from Bobby Dodd Stadium a winner. Georgia is coming off a rout of Kentucky last Saturday, and clinched a spot in the SEC title game by winning the SEC East. Surprise, surprise, surprise. This Bulldogs team surpassed all expectations to this point. Remember who played quarterback last season? David Greene and yet Georgia didn't have this good of a run. It has been the play of former North Clayton High School standout D.J. Shockley that has gotten the Bulldogs to this point. Take into consideration, Georgia, ranked as high as No. 4 in the country, lost for the first time during the season to rival Florida by four points, 14-10. In that game, the Bulldogs were without Shockley. Two weeks later and a healthy Shockley in the lineup, Georgia had Auburn on the ropes. If not for poor playing calling on the defensive side of the football, the Bulldogs would have one loss, but Georgia fell to the Tigers, setting up last weekend's key matchup against Kentucky. Actually, the game was over before it ever started as the Bulldogs pounced all over the Wildcats, 45-13. The SEC East could have been considered a stumbling block all year. Georgia may have won the division, but look at how the rest finished: South Carolina (5-3), Florida (5-3), Vanderbilt (3-5), Kentucky (2-5) and Tennessee (2-5). South Carolina was certainly the most improved team in the East after knocking off teams like Florida and Tennessee this season. But the Gamecocks still couldn't beat Clemson. South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt share one thing with Georgia - a trip to a bowl game. Meanwhile, left out of the bowl picture and I am nearly laughing as I am writing this - Tennessee. I guess the fire Phillip Fulmer Web sites can officially begin now. I guess Steve Spurrier said it best, "You can't spell Citrus without UT." In this case, Fulmer and Tennessee can't spell bowl either. This Saturday Georgia and Georgia Tech will meet, with the Bulldogs owning the series (56-38-5). The Yellow Jackets opened the season with a key road win at Auburn. Sure things looked bright, but even their fans had concerns. Georgia Tech hadn't put together back-to-back wins after a huge victory over a ranked team in God only knows how long. After the win against the Tigers, Georgia Tech got victories against North Carolina and Connecticut. Georgia Tech gained respect last Saturday when the Yellow Jackets finally knocked off a Top 5 team, beating Miami in the Orange Bowl. That kind of success is why Georgia Tech gave head coach Chan Gailey a contract extension. Yet Athletic Director Dave Braine was quick to point out that Georgia Tech isn't the type of school that will win nine or 10 games a year. It amazes me that he is still running the athletic program with a comment like that. Only twice in its 114 years of football has Georgia Tech defeated a team ranked higher than the Hurricanes. In 1990, the Yellow Jackets beat No. 1 Virginia and in 1962, Georgia Tech downed No. 1 Alabama. Even Bulldogs coach Mark Richt is a bit concerned about Georgia Tech. "I saw a good bit of the game, if not all of it," Richt said during his weekly press conference. "Georgia Tech got with it and frustrated Miami's offense. They really controlled the game overall." Last season, Georgia beat Georgia Tech, 19-13, and you can only count on another close one when these two teams tangle again Saturday. (Brian Howard is a sports writer at The Daily.

Before the game, two scouts were debating whether Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke would risk swinging the bat in his return from a broken left collarbone. One expressed doubt, but the other, possessing a better working knowledge of Greinke, chuckled at the idea the pitcher would hold back. "He's got a bigger ego about hitting than he does about pitching," the scout said. Sure enough, Greinke's first at-bat Wednesday night came in an important situation -- two outs in the third inning, a runner on third and the Dodgers leading the Nationals, 1-0. Was Greinke swinging? Of course he was. And on a 1-1 count, he lined an opposite-field RBI single off Nats' left-hander Ross Detwiler, delivering the second run in the Dodgers' eventual 3-1 victory. Greinke had grimaced after swinging through the previous pitch, admitting later it felt "uncomfortable." But not to worry. He also swung and missed while striking out in his second at-bat, and said he felt fine. He pitched without restric...

This thread got a tad off track, is there anyone who will raise there hand in interest to having a new service launched which processes Kodachrome 120 format?
Sorry, but I think that there is a point being made here in what seems to be off-topic chatter. The film is old and there is a very finite supply. The process is tricky and needs to be babied.
Therefore, you have here the pitfalls in a nutshell.
Everyone owning 120 film and wanting it processed may only amount to a few runs, and the results may be less than perfect. And, you will have to practice with 35mm film to get things up and running right.
That about sums it up. And I guess people are reluctant to commit to anything.
Gosh, I would love to find a place the to process the KPR120 I have in deep freeze storage.
~Steve Sloan
Steve, yeah, I have a brick of it too, at -15F in my deep freeze... I started a thread on this over on Photo.Net a year or two ago on this; but in my case I was looking at a dip & dunk line with some mechanical trickwork for the red & blue re-exposure chambers.
Photo Engineer gave me some help with the Wratten filters needed & such; but even if I built it, it would still be almost 10 feet tall, and only able to develop 120 & 135-24 exp (and sheet film), because unlike in, say, a Refrema, the film could not be draped over the hanger racks: It would have to be clipped on the end, in order for the re-exposure steps to work properly.
I think I've read that DR5 can process Kodachrome as a b/w slide.
I sold the only rolls of this stuff I had a few years ago, giving up it would ever be usabe. If Kodak could make a run of new film I would be interested. I recently got a roll of K25 processed and it was one of the last batch made. It had a magenta cast to it, so I would assume any Kodachrome 64 in 120 still around would not turn out very well to merit spending the kind of money needed to do a run.
it's so interested. i have a lot of kodachrome 64 120 format (over 100 rolls expired in 1989, but still live in my fridge). if possible, i will be your first customer.
Might be interested if Kodachrome was still made in medium format.
Also would probably not be interested having heard you make the statement that you had not extensively researched the process. I would venture to guess that you cannot do it even if you have the interest.
I would most certainly use it. I would have also loved to use Kodachrome 400. I really wish that Kodak had put out just a few advertisements in a couple of magazines in the later 1990s. I found out about Kodachrome as a kid from seeing it in old National Geographic magazine ads. If some advertisement from 40 or 50 years ago sold me on a product, imagine what new advertising would do to stir up interest in young people that never heard of Kodachrome. I am shocked to meet photographers in their 30s from different parts of the world who never heard of Kodachrome. I remember all of those advertisements for that horrible APS film and system...if only a fraction of the money spent on that was spent on Kodachrome ads...well, I would have most likely started to use Kodachrome at a younger age.
Haha, everyone remembers Joe Camel...why was not there a Kodachrome Kid? Ingraining a product into a child's mind before they are old enough to make their own decisions can be an effective form of advertising.
Anyway, 120 Kodachrome 64 for my RB67 would make me extremely happy.
Kodak trade trialed a 200 and 400 ISO fine grained improved Kodachrome film in about 1990 and the films were rejected by the recipients of the samples. I have said this over and over. They said that E6 is better or it has more potential. So..... What can I say but you cannot sell what no one will buy and what the magazine editors panned in their evaluations. That is who you must discuss this with.
As for hand processing, it can be done. We did the re-exposure by draping the film in a "U" loop with clips at the top and a weight at the bottom. A light was used in the center of the "U" to re-expose the film. The problem came about in calibrating the light. That is the most difficult step of all other than mixing the developers and getting the couplers and CD-6.

In order to learn C#, I have spent the last year converting the source code of SQLite from C to C#. As of the current version 3.6.16, it is now ready to release in the wild. I don't want to self-host CVS or some other repository, so I am trying to decide where to post the code.
My goals are simple. I just want to allow people to download the source code, submit feedback, bug reports, etc.
I have looked at sourceforge, googlecode, codeproject and a few others. However, while they all look fine, I not sure what works well in the real world.
Any suggestions from your personal experience would be appreciated.

PDPW Transition Cow Workshops Set
JUNEAU, WIS. – The most significant time in a dairy cow's milk production cycle is the weeks leading up to, and following, the birth of a calf. Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin (PDPW) will offer two, one-day workshops on helping cows in this important transitional period.
"Challenges and Solutions for the Transition Cow" will be held in two locations:
· Tuesday, March 25, at the Iowa Dairy Center, 1527 Hwy. 150 S. in Calmar, Iowa. This program is being held collaboratively with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and the Northeast Iowa Dairy Foundation.
· The workshop will be repeated on Wednesday, March 26, at the Arlington Research Station, N695 Hopkins Road, Arlington, Wis.
In both locations, registration begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by five presentations featuring today's leading dairy scientists who will address the physiological, metabolic and nutritional challenges faced by transition cows. The speakers and topics include:
· "Reducing Transition Cow Mortality," presented by Dr. Frank Garry, professor at Colorado State University, Department of Clinical Sciences. The risk of cow loss is highest during the transition period, and Dr. Garry will share an improved approach to diagnosis and information management. He'll explain how paying attention to causes of transition cow health problems can create changes that substantially decrease losses in your herd.
· "Pen Movement during the Transition Period" presented by Dr. Ric Grummer, Emeritus Professor, Department of Dairy Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and also Ruminant Technical Director for Balchem. As cows progress from the dry period to early lactation, they are typically moved at least once, which can induce stress. Dr. Grummer will present recent research that examines the consequences of moving transition cows and tips and tricks that can make a difference on every dairy farm.
· "Postpartum: The Crucial Three Weeks," also be presented by Dr. Ric Grummer. Feeding the cow during the post-fresh transition period, when dairy cows may experience large energy and protein deficits, is as critical as during the dry period. Dr. Grummer will discuss strategies to help meet nutrient deficits during the early postpartum period.
· "Moving Down Cows," presented by Dr. Robert Leder, a practicing veterinarian in Bear Creek and Clintonville, Wis. While down cows are a reality of dairy farming, having a plan in place protects both animals and people on your dairy farm. Dr. Leder will review basic principles and share protocols to increase cow comfort, as well as improve the outcome of non-ambulatory cows. Dr. Leder is currently the chair of the Large Animal Welfare subcommittee of the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association.
· "Keeping Transition Cows Cool," with Dr. Ric Grummer. While investments to cool lactating cows are warranted, Dr. Grummer will review the importance of cooling dry cows and address the benefits of investing in equipment or feeding strategies to cool dry cows.
These interactive workshops will include question-and-answer sessions with the speakers. Lunch is also included. For a detailed brochure or to register, visit www.pdpw.org, or call 800-947-7379.
Dairy science and veterinary professionals attending PDPW's Transition Cow Workshops can receive continuing education credits through the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, as well as through ARPAS, the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists.
Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin is a dairy-producer founded organization that provides educational programs and services to fellow dairy producers. PDPW's mission is "to share ideas, solutions, resources, and experiences that help dairy producers succeed."

|Syrian security forces have fired shells in the city of Hama, as prayers ended on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Rights groups say around 130 people have been killed by the authorities since Sunday, most of them in Hama. The city has been largely controlled by opponents of President Bashar al-Assad since June. Fresh violence is also being reported in the capital Damascus. The UN Security Council discussed the Syrian crisis late on Monday.

Membrane proteins are the gateways to the cell and are valuable drug targets. For researchers to design better-targeted drugs, they need to know their structure and functional characteristics. However, determining these characteristics is difficult, because researchers need large amounts of membrane protein to characterize their functions and map their structures. Sources are scarce due to the practical problems of working with membrane proteins—specifically, difficulties in expression, purification and crystallization. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Membrane Proteins conference addresses the strategies and solutions for their extraction, expression and purification, and features case studies showcasing their value as an antibody drug target. Join the in-depth exploration of how to obtain functional membrane proteins, and learn more about this important protein class.

Keynote Presentation
8:20 The Distinct Issues of Membrane Proteins versus Soluble Proteins
Robert Stroud, Ph.D., Professor, Biochemistry/Biophysics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Director, Membrane Protein Expression Center, University of California at San Francisco (UCSF)
Membrane proteins present distinct issues versus soluble proteins; pure, homogeneous and stable in solution. Eukaryotic proteins need expression in eukaryotic cells. These include yeast, and insect cells. Human proteins, to be expressed for antibody preparation, require proper tailoring and glycosylation; and can often be achieved only in human cells. Antibody partners can be the basis for proof of principle therapeutics, and for helping to purify, assay, and validate membrane proteins' mechanisms.
9:00 Expression of Transmembrane Proteins in Yeast for Genetic, Biochemical and Structural Studies
Mark E. Dumont, Ph.D., Professor, Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Rochester Medical Center
The difficulty of expression, solubilization, and purification of transmembrane proteins, particularly those from eukaryotes, constitutes a significant barrier to understanding their mechanisms. The use of a system based on expression of membrane proteins from various sources in baker's yeast has allowed the use of genetic approaches for functional characterization and stabilization of expressed proteins, while facilitating purification of transmembrane enzymes, transporters, and receptors for biochemical studies and x-ray crystallographic structure determination.
9:30 Overproduction and Functional Characterization of Purified Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporters
Franklin A. Hays, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
The Solute Carrier Superfamily proteins constitute a functionally and structurally diverse family in eukaryotic membrane proteomes and are associated with modulating efficacy for an equally broad range of human therapeutics. Our recent focus is on defining the molecular basis for Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter (ENT) inhibition, transport, and substrate recognition. ENTs have only been identified in eukaryotic organisms and have proven recalcitrant to overexpression and functional characterization in purified form - this despite the fact that they directly bind or transport over 25 FDA approved therapeutics. We have developed an optimized pipeline for the production of active, pure, eukaryotic ENTs and have used this system to obtain novel insights into the transport characteristics of the only identified ENT protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae named Function Unknown Now 26 (FUN26). This talk will focus on our efforts to overproduce, purify, solubilize, and reconstitute functional ENT proteins along with novel insights into ENT transport properties.
10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
10:50 GPCR Purification: Protein Engineering and Process Optimisation are Key Elements for Successful GPCR Crystallisation
Markus Koglin, Ph.D., Associate Director, Protein Engineering, Heptares Therapeutics
The generation of Stabilised G-protein Coupled Receptors (StaRs) has opened new routes in the purification procedures for GPCRs. Here we demonstrate that protein quality is drastically improved with increasing thermostability. StaR generation alone normally does not provide suitable material for crystallisation. The combination of StaR technology, systematic construct design, and careful optimisation of the purification process delivers a powerful approach to generate protein with suitable crystallisation qualities.
11:20 Strategies for Detergent Stabilization and Large-Scale Affinity Purification of the Functional G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Alexei Yeliseev, Ph.D., Staff Scientist, Group Leader, LMBB, NIAAA, National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Human cannabinoid receptor CB2, a G protein-coupled receptor involved in regulation of immune response, is an important target for pharmaceutical drug development. For high resolution structural studies, milligram quantities of pure, homogenous and functional protein are required. We expressed the functional CB2 receptor in E. coli, and optimized its purification by tandem affinity chromatography. An efficient strategy for stabilization of the receptor in detergent micelles and reconstituted into lipid bilayers was developed.
11:50 Overcoming Difficult to Express Proteins: Cell-Free Additives for Solubilizing and Characterizing Membrane Proteins
Matthew Coleman, Ph.D., Deputy Group Leader, Molecular Toxicology, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Senior Scientist, University of California at Davis
We have developed Cell-free methods for producing membrane proteins, which are inherently difficult to obtain. These include nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs), telodendrimers, which can be combined with NLPs or lipids, and amphipathic peptides. I will further discuss how we use the three different additives and their ability to support membrane protein solubility as well as function. These processes are easily adapted to high-throughput technologies for feeding the membrane structural biology pipeline.
12:20 pm High-Throughput Strategies for MAB and FAB Development
Leticia Reyes-Regis, Ph.D., Senior Staff Scientist, Scientific Laboratory Services Department, Pall Life Sciences
Developing a purification process using conventional methods is less and less compatible with biopharm industry challenges in terms of timelines and cost constraints. High-Throughput Process Development (HTPD) for screening chromatography sorbents and multiple process conditions, based on a Design of Experiment (DoE) approach, has become a standard that enables saving time and sample, while improving process efficiency. We will discuss mAb and Fab purification strategies leading to a three-step process set-up within 12 days.
12:50 Session Break
1:00 Luncheon Presentation: Accurately Assessing Comparibility of Biosimilar Interferon From Refolding to Polishing During Process Development
Paul Belcher, Ph.D., Market Development Leader, GE Healthcare Life Sciences
Developers of biosimilars use an array of biomolecular characterization methods to prove that their processes are well understood, robust, and controlled. Extensive analytical studies including comparative physicochemical and functional studies are needed to confirm similarity. This talk will describe a process for HTPD of IFNα-2a, compared throughout the development process with a market available reference molecule. The focus is on the use of Biacore™ T200 and Amersham™ WB system for accurate comparability studies during this development.
Difficult Expression and Production
2:00 Chairperson's Remarks
Ian Hunt, Ph.D., Group Leader, Proteomic Chemistry and Head, Protein Sciences, Novartis
2:05 Designer Surfactant-Like Self-Assembling Peptides for Membrane Protein Purification and Stabilization
Sotirios Koutsopoulos, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Center for Biomedical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Membrane proteins are integral proteins of the cell membrane and are directly involved in the regulation of many biological functions and in drug targeting. However, our knowledge of membrane proteins is limited due to difficulties in producing sufficient quantities of soluble, functional and stable receptors. Designer, surfactant-like peptides may be used to extract the protein from the cell membrane and stabilize the protein outside the membrane bilayer for further studies.
2:35 Production of Human Integral Membrane Proteins in Mammalian Cells
James D. Love, Ph.D., Director, Technology Development, Biochemistry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Integral membrane proteins are key targets in the understanding of health and human disease, yet producing functional material in great enough quantities for structural studies remains a formidable task. This talk highlights the expression technologies under development that will greatly aid high-throughput efforts to produce functional human membrane proteins and complexes, specifically GPCRs, for a plethora of structural techniques.
3:05 Advances for Maximizing Protein Yields in HEK293 and CHO Transient Expression
Henry C. Chiou, Ph.D., Associate Director, Cell Biology, Life Science Solutions, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Increasing focus on complex proteins in advanced research elevates the need
for higher yields from mammalian transient expression systems. To achieve
coordinated development and synergy between novel high-capacity media,
higher productivity HEK293 and CHO cells, and higher performance transfection
reagents. This presentation will demonstrate the effectiveness of this "holistic"
approach to achieve gram-level protein yields by transient expression.
3:35 The Need for Technology Platforms in USP Development
Hugo de Wit, CEO, Cellca
Are you faced with budget reductions for USP development or even anticipated to do "more with less"? Do you see increasing expectations from market and management regarding reducing timelines and cost of goods attributes? We demonstrate how a robust USP platform can help you meet these challenges.
3:50 Bypassing Inclusion Body Formation in E. coli: Maximizing Soluble Expression of Complex Multimeric Proteins
Mark Valasek, M.D., Ph.D., Co-founder and Scientific Director, AbSci
Cytoplasmic expression of large complex proteins in E. coli is limited primarily due to protein aggregation and the corresponding refolding process. These costly aggregates form when proteins are expressed too quickly and strongly. AbSci has developed a tightly regulated, dual titratable expression system that is able to homogenously induce high levels of complex multimeric proteins in a soluble and active form.

Making phone calls, Tampa

When we went to the US for the first time and tried to call Niki's Uncle the payphone swallowed our coins in no time... And that wasn't even a call outside the country...
Unique Suggestions: If you come unprepared to the US buy a prepaid card at you can find these in almost any shop in the US or get them from a machine. But beware of the hidden charges these card might have read the fine lines.
Fun Alternatives: We us a calling (credit) card it can be used from payphones, private phones and hotel phones (beware most hotels charge you for using their phone even when it's a free number look for this in the directory in the hotel). With this card you call a free number and then your card number after this you can call home at a much nicer rate you would get elsewhere. We have used a dutch card but this one is discontinued. We now use a card from Primus Telegroup.
The card itself is free no annual fees you'll only pay when you use it.
If you know a cheaper way to call from the US to the Netherlands please let us know so we can switch.

How did you come to make the transition from bodybuilder to rocker? When I trained for Mr. Universe, Mr. Canada, and Mr. USA, I would work out to the sounds of Black Sabbath, Led Zep, and the Beatles. This would drive me into a frenzy. That's when I knew muscles and music were a perfect meld. I also played bass in the rock band Iron Falcon. With my interest in theatrical acts like Bowie, Kiss, and Alice Cooper, it was not long after that I emerged as the Rock Gladiator.
When did you assume the identity of Thor? In the early '70s I was developing the concept. I first tried different names like Centaur, Mikl Body Rock, and "Thor and the Imps," all of which incorporated various presentations of how I saw the character that evolved into Thor.
"I wore armor and donned black leather and studs"
photo: Courtesy Smog Veil Records
I wore Grecian sandals with glitter loin cloth and wrist bands and rocked out with semi-nude warrior women on stage. After that I found a backup band, the Imps. They were short, small musicians who I would pick up over my head while they played guitar and throw them into the audience. We put on more white-face makeup with lightning bolts painted around the eyes during that period. There was a lot of experimentation, trial and error with the image. Later I wore more armor and donned black leather and studs. So I would say I was in full "Thor Throttle" by the mid '70s.
Any injuries from tests of strength? There have been many over the years. Cut, bloody fingers from ripping license plates in two, broken ribs from getting slammed with a sledge hammer, a fractured neck while lifting the heaviest person in the audience up with my teeth, many broken back molars from biting and bending steel and of course blacking out while blowing up and exploding a lifetime guarantee hot water bottle with my lungs.
Between 1999 and 2000 you had a band called the Ass Boys. Can you elaborate? It was a punk project that I put together with a band in Raleigh, North Carolina, which featured Michael "ThunderGeek" Pilmer. We played at frat houses and a lot of college women would come to the shows and take their clothes off and rock out.
What are your thoughts on the contemporary wave of metrosexual rock bands, i.e. the Strokes, Spoon, Interpol, etc.? They remind me a lot of the British Invasion in the '60s with the Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, and the Animals. Also, bands from the late '70s and early '80s: the Knack, the Cars.
Why are there so many fat kids in the U.S.? They are sitting down at the computer too much. Video games have taken over playing football at the park. Physical activity is the answer. Or getting out there and rocking out to some good music and getting some headbanging in. There has to be time for both.

"What if?" Erik Natzke, generative artist and principle designer at Adobe, uses this question to constantly test what is possible at the intersection of art and technology. In this Creative Spark, Erik explains his quest to build tools that improve people's ability to be creative—and to make them forget they're using a tool to begin with. By combining interactivity, remote collaboration, touch input, and gestures with the real-world behavior of paper, ink, and brushes, he hopes to build applications that lead to a more organic, playful, and inspiring creative experience.
(MUSIC). Erick Natzke: What if has been a staple to all levels of creativity that I've been working on. If you're questioning what it possible, you're going to hit on something that's never been touched before. My process in getting into code based systems or generative, are, was just through play, to see what the technology could now do. (MUSIC) One of the things that I really enjoy and love about water coloring is, you kind of embrace a little bit of chaos.
Well now the difficulty is trying to figure out, how can I take something that lives off of ones and zeros and make it understand a system that has an unpredictable nature to it? That's what I'm envisioning being able to do with this drawing application. (BLANK_AUDIO)

Defamer lets us in on the new (however foreseeable) rumour that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now engaged. Expect an announcement in the next day or two, but don't expect anyone to actually buy it. This relationship is the most contrived celebrity relationship ever, and I don't think anyone really cares.
Seriously, though, where did you think this was going after Katie Holmes' conversion to Scientology.

Jon Stewart to Leave The Daily Show?
I got to thinking a bit. How is this any different than the change of hosts for The Tonight Show over the years? I'm not all that old, but I can remember the switch from Johnny Carson to Jay Leno. Then in 2010 was the big farce when it was passed on to Conan O'Brien, but Leno whined and cried about losing his cash cow and favorable time slot, among other things, thus Leno resumed as host until 2014, when the reigns was passed on to Jimmy Fallon, who is currently hitting it out of the park.
To be honest, I am not shocked one bit that Stewart is planning to move on. He made his huge splash in political news by adding comedy to it. He has taken on the crazies like Bill O'Reilly, Anderson Cooper and even played a little Hardball both in staged debates and to bring down the curtains on their own shows. A simple YouTube search will net you some great clips.
Since a successor has not been announced as of yet, I think it would be great to move John Oliver into that spot. He has already worked on The Daily Show before as a news correspondent and as a guest host while Stewart was off filming his movie for a few months.
I believe that if John Oliver were to get the position, a lot more younger people would be interested in current events happening in the world. Since The Daily Show is mostly a comedy news show based around real events, it can be thought of as a more serious version of The Onion. I personally would watch more.
What do you think? I would be very interested in knowing who you think would fit as the replacement for Jon Stewart when he leaves The Daily Show. Let's talk about it in the comments.

Abobo was always bullied back in the Double Dragon days. It didn't matter if he was white, brown or green. The whole Abobo race was discriminated against. Abobo's son, Little Abobo, has been kidnapped by Billy and Jimmy. That was the last straw. You will not tolerate the abuse any longer. It's payback time!
You will find yourself going through many areas that have seemingly familiar sights. Is it a case of deja vu? As you battle through each area, you will release your rage in the form of a can of whoop ass. Will you be able to make it in time to save your son and restore peace to the Abobo race?
I played the web version of the game, but the Windows version runs very well in WINE on Linux. I about died laughing while playing this little gem. Lots of the sights from various big name platforms on the NES are represented here. It just really shows how much trouble this Abobo is willing to go through to save his son.

Super Googlio+ Bros 2014 Professional Deluxe
NOTE: I may update this post in the future if I come up with more ideas.
Over the last week or so, Google+ has been much of a roller coaster ride for me for some reason or another. Not only have I been having some serious delays between mobile devices and desktop computers for getting notifications, but there are times I've missed whole conversations where I was mentioned in them and I did not know anything about it. *grumble*
I have a few thoughts about Google+ and things I wish they would do. This is more of a wish list than anything else.
Anything outside of the Main Timeline (home stream) should be moved off to an option menu with user selectable checkboxes (read as plugins) to be enabled or disabled. These options only control the desktop web interfaces. Keep mobile separate.
[x] [Photos / Picasa] (Google+ Photos or Picasa? Which will it be? I know they are trying to push people from Picasa to Google+ Photos. Why not just merge them both in to Google Drive?)
[x] [Communities / Google Groups] (Merge one into the other. I'm surprised this hasn't been done already.)
[ ] Events (Put them in a Google Calendar and call the calendar "Plus Events" or something that can be ignored by unchecking this box. Some people abuse the Events feature of Google+ way too much, and it has got to a point of annoyance for many.)
[x] Hangout (Some people don't want to chat, I don't mind though. Disabling this may break live events like Hangout On Air on YouTube.)
[ ] Pages (This section seriously needs work. Business pages? Fan page? Pseudonyms for people to hide behind? Google, where are you going with this?)
[ ] Local (Does anyone even use this feature anymore? Sure, it's a way to find local people and businesses, but I really think Foursquare has that pretty well covered. Maybe buy Foursquare? :-/ )
[x] Disable animated images (Show first frame as still image and add a click-to-play feature.)
[x] Notification of new posts by individual users: link to select users from circles (Also, there should be checkbox when clicking the follow button asking if you want to be notified of new posts, or something similar to the little 'gear button' next to the 'Subscribe button' on YouTube. That works really well for what it does.)
[x] Filter keywords: link to filter list box popup (If a post contains listed words, the post will be rolled up and dimmed showing the poster's heading like normal, but tell the viewer that the post was filtered because of a keyword, link to the keyword box editor.)

Should I Juice?
I've been doing some research all over the place, other than Google and/or Wikipedia, for the last few hours and I came across some really good information regarding weight loss by "juicing." I even found a few podcasts like JuicingRadio and a couple of others that I bookmarked.
Now... I wonder if my brother would be willing to work with me and come up with some sort of plan to help me lose a few of these bowling balls I'm carrying around all of the time. Hey bro, do you have a juicer? If not, wanna go half and half on a good one? Then we'll just need to find some farmer's markets to hit up. I won't pay the insane prices at Whole Foods Market or Uwajimaya.
It's a New Year, but I've yet to turn the page to create a new me. I think it's about time to turn the page and head down the road of making a new me. The new page hasn't been written yet, and I want page 2014 to have a great story to tell.
Do I sound like one of those "me to" people that hears or sees something good and wants to jump on the bandwagon? That's not my intentions here. I really do need to lose a lot of weight and become active again. All I do is work, then come home and sit in front of the computer until I get bored, then I go to sleep. Lather, wash, rinse, repeat...day in and day out. Now I just need the motivation and people around me to cheer me on to get going with the process.

Keep A Notepad Around
Do you ever have those days where you come up with the most amazing thought? You go to write it down, but by the time you get to your notebook, find something to write with and flip open to an empty page, the thought is gone? Yeah, I just had that happen to me earlier. I've been trying to run though everything that has happened today in hopes that it would spark the idea up again, but so far I'm running into a brick wall with each attempt.
I used to carry a little pocket notepad with me all of the time for the very purpose of writing things down that I knew I might forget. Everything from simple things to pick up at the store to big ideas to near future todo lists to how I plan on taking over the world.
The brain only remembers things it absolutely needs to in order to get by. Some of us are cursed with having really useless knowledge that might help us in a game of Trivial Persuit or to bore someone to death by. Sometimes, the brain can be working when you least expect it to and actually comes up with something useful. If you don't do something immediately with what the brain has provided, it discards it as useless information.
Just a reminder. Keep something to write with and to write on within reach at all times and things like this won't happen.

If It Isn't Broke, Don't Fix It
Android has been made popular due to its increasing flexability and open sourceness. With the ever expanding list of APIs and device functionality, Android fits in the ecosystem very well. The possibilities of making your own uber customized builds to do whatever you want it to do is great. But like any product, it's not perfect.
If Android was perfect, there would be no reason for further upgrades. This holds true with Apple's iOS, Microsoft's Windows and just about everything under the sun. Android is far from perfect. People will constantly submit feature requests because the system doesn't do exactly what they want. Developers see feature requests as bugs. While bugs exist, new versions will continue to be released.
Over the last couple of days, I've had a conversation with someone on Twitter regarding Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. About every year or so, Google licenses out the "Nexus" name to a hardware OEM to use for their flagship phone. In most cases, this flagship phone is also loaded with the latest/next major release of the Android operating system. This is a fantastic thing for those who must have the latest new toy. Yes, I'm calling that $700 phone in your pocket a toy. Me, being dead set in my ways, chose to argue that I don't need the latest toy in the smartphone realm.
I have a few good reasons why I don't see any interest in this device. I pay close attention to the mobile device websites and watch what credible people on Twitter say about the device, and it is getting mixed results. Big thing is battery life. OK, with some fine tuned tweaks to a rom, this can probably be solved pretty easily. Another thing that gets me is the price of the device. Sure, a good portion of the price can be subsidized if I wanted to switch carriers and get locked into a 2 year contract with them, or find one on CraigsList or eBay. No thanks.
I, personally, don't see what all the hub bub is about for having the latest thing on the market. That is just a sign to me that you either have too much money in your pocket, or a very worn out credit card. I have an HTC Sensation 4G (running Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0, Android 4.0.3), HTC HD2 (hacked to run NexusHD2-ICS-CyanogenMod 9, Android 4.0.3), HTC G1 (the granddaddy of Android, running CyanogenMod 6.1, Android 2.2.3) and a fairly new Toshiba Thrive 10.1" 16GB tablet (running DalePL's rooted Honeycomb 0003, Android 3.2.1), which I am using now to write this blog post.
By all means, all of these devices all fall in the out dated timeline.
I just recently got the Toshiba Thrive tablet from a great deal on Woot. This is my first venture into the tablet arena. I'm quite happy with it and the abilities it has. Some ROM developers on the ThriveForums hacked some things up to make it do even more than what Toshiba originally marketed it to do. I'm finding that I'm using the tablet more than my laptop for most things. As a matter of fact, I've sorta turned my tablet into a laptop when I am at home.
The HTC Sensation 4G is my daily driver phone. I've put together some very nice things in an already customized rom and made it just feel right. The battery is lasting all day finally, even with moderate internet use for Twitter and some other stuff. This was HTC's first dual core processor phone. Rightfully, it wasn't made fully in compliance to be a power saver. There's ways around that though. I have no complaints about it.
I hacked my HTC HD2 the day I bought it. It originally ran Windows Mobile 6.5. I can't think of anybody who actually enjoyed using that system. A group of talented developers on the XDA Forums set out to make this device run Android. They went with this thought because the hardware in the HD2 is very similar to the HTC/Google Nexus One. First it was made possible by booting Android from the SD card. You would load the phone up into Windows Mobile, run a little app that would shut the phone down to a minimal level and restart using the Android rom on the SD card. This worked very well at first, until a developer named Cotulla found a way to hack the bootloader on the device and allow Android, MeeGo, Ubuntu and even Windows Phone 7 to be installed directly to the internal memory in the phone. Development still continues to make this phone run and do things it was not designed to do. I use this phone to play some games on.
My first adventure into the Android universe came when I got my HTC/T-Mobile G1. This is the device that introduced Android to the world. Many companies and individual people were skeptical about Android due to it being open source. They thought it would fizzle out like many tried and failed attempts to releasing open source Linux phones in the past. The G1 was slow and had very little internal memory to download apps. If it wasn't for Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) and his modded roms, we very well could be using some other system today, other than Android.
In conclusion, I just want to say that I am very satisfied with the devices I have. There is no point in running out to get the next best thing just because it is available. With a little bit of research, working with the community and lots of patience, the devices I have now serve the purposes I require of them. Just because a company is dangling a carrot out to entice you to spend your hard earned money on the latest toy, doesn't mean you have to jump on it.
Thank you for reading. I would be happy to see what you think about this in the comments below.

The Battle of Open Source: Why Can't We Be Friends?
The Banshee[!] developers made it where you can sample, buy and download music within their media player from Amazon MP3[!], and 100% of the affiliate revenues is donated[!] to the GNOME Foundation[!].
Upon further review, Canonical[!] has their own Ubuntu One Music Store[!] that Banshee would be competing with and Canonical wouldn't be getting any cuts from Banshee unless they used Canonical's affiliate ID instead of GNOME's[!]. Canonical wants 75% of the affiliate revenues, with the remainder 25% going to the GNOME Foundation. With the release of Ubuntu 11.04 swiftly drawing near, and Banshee Media Player replacing Rhythmbox[!], the Banshee team opted to disable the Amazon MP3 store all together.
Now it's time for my opinion. Banshee is a wonderful iTunes[!]-like media player for Linux. Since I am such a music buff, and I liked sorta liked iTunes back in the day when I ran Windows[!], I set out to find something similar. As I was searching through media players on Freshmeat[!] back when I was running Debian Linux[!], I came across the Banshee Media Player. It looked like iTunes and had many of the same features. This was the one I chose to go with. A couple of years later, I switched to Ubuntu Linux because of its rapid releases and programs were more up to date than Debian was. I stay fairly current with the happenings behind the scenes in Ubuntu development, even though I am not a developer myself. I even often times over voice my opinions a lot on Twitter about various things in development. I still use Banshee in Ubuntu to this day.
Back when Mark Shuttleworth[!] was pushing Ubuntu for open development, he didn't show greed or ways to control people or projects. He wanted his Ubuntu project to be available for EVERYONE. Sure, projects take money to develop, but there are other ways to go about doing. Changing the affiliate IDs[!] of other open source programs that you distribute is not the answer. That just turns into open source projects fighting one another and NOTHING gets accomplished.
By changing the affiliate IDs in programs such as Banshee and Firefox[!], Canonical is steering, shall I say stealing, possible development revenues from the original program developers. This is not only unfair, but it is just plain wrong.
What do you think? I would love to know your opinions. Please read the whole story from Network World at the top of this post, then either leave me a comment on the blog or better yet, contact me directly on Twitter at @jpyper. I would love to hear form you.

Open Data
The Data.gov website launched in May 2009 has seen almost five million visitors in the last three years and has more than 105,000 data sets, up from 47 at the site's inception.
The site was built to become a repository for government information and to make available to the public any data that is not covered by privacy laws or restricted for national security reasons.
The last three years, according to a May 20 blog post on the General Services Administration's website by Jeanne Holm, the White House's open data evangelist, have resoundingly answered some of the initial questions about site. Data.gov was an experiment in a wider plan to open up federal data holdings to the public, Holm said. The government didn't know if people would use the data or if agencies would even share it.
In just the last three years, according to Holm, Data.gov has grown to include data sets provided by 227 federal organizations -- and has served 4.5 million unique visitors.
As further evidence of the site's success, Holm noted the Open Data 500 study that graphically illustrates how private industry continues to harness government data. The study, begun in 2012 by the GovLab at New York University, crunches the numbers on which public sector industries are using which federal agencies' data.

Last act in Damascus: How will the end come for Assad's crippled regime?
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
By Jeffrey White
Best Defense department of regime collapse
Down, down I come;
Like glistering Phaethon,
Wanting the manage of unruly jades
Like Shakespeare's Richard II, Bashar al-Assad is a doomed monarch. The failure of his polices and the failures of his men have set the regime on an accelerating path to destruction.
There is no question that the regime has fought back hard against the powerful revolutionary currents it evoked. But its choice of violence from virtually day one of the rebellion set it on a course that would ultimately produce its destruction. A peaceful or negotiated solution was neither sought nor desired by the regime. Assad and his cohorts bet that the security structures his father created and he nurtured could crush the opposition. These structures proved inadequate for the task.
The Assad regime is caught in potent forces that it cannot hope to escape. Its military is being ground down by constant battle with the rebels. Regime forces are beginning to look and act like they are nearing defeat. They appear to be losing the will to attack, and to some extent even defend. The armed opposition elements are gaining strength in men, weapons, and the all-important factor of will. Despite increasing casualties of their own, they appear willing, in many cases eager, to fight. Throughout the country, the regime's hold is weakening or has already vanished under pressure from the rebels.
This decline can be seen most readily in the regime's growing reliance on air and artillery operations, and in its failure to defend or rescue key positions subjected to siege and assault. It now appears incapable of massing large forces, unlike earlier stages in the war when it could marshal several tens of thousands of troops for an operation.
Assad appears doomed, but when and how will this be realized? It is unlikely to be in the form of some grand climatic battle; more probably it will transpire like the fall of Tripoli and the pursuit of the Libyan dictator. Or perhaps it will be more like the slow closing of the ring around the bunker in Berlin, and the descent into fantasy by family members, extreme loyalists, and those who waited too long to escape. It will not necessarily proceed in a straight line. The tides of battle do not run only in one direction, and the regime may even score successes here and there in the fighting.
Can the regime do anything to arrest or reverse its downward direction? It seems unlikely. It could resort to chemical weapons as defeat nears and desperation rises. Is a regime that has already killed tens of thousands going to reject the use of gas weapons to stave off defeat, if even for only a while? Resorting to CW is not a sure thing, if the international community were to respond with force that would likely hasten the fate of the regime. Still Assad could try it, banking that the failure of the world to respond with force to other cases in which he dramatically escalated violence against the civilian population would be repeated.

My Rating
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. During our drive between historic locations, he provided a running commentary of background information that filled in the blanks that site guides left open. He put everyone at ease and established a comfortable environment so fellow travelers chatted easily with one another. It wasn't a boring lecture.

A selection of the best BBQ recipe cookbooks around. Invaluable!
cooking basics to get you started
While you are barbecuing
you don't have a marinade or sauce to baste your meat, keep a 50/50 mix
of lemon juice and olive oil handy. This simple blend is ideal for
keeping your meat, fish and vegetables moist and enhancing flavor and
complements many other types of food when barbecue cooking.
barbecuing fish, try placing lemon slices on your aluminum foil
before wrapping the fish. This prevents the fish from sticking to the
foil and adds a delicious lemony flavor that's lovely with salmon.

Critical Review by Herbert Mitgang
SOURCE: "Murder and Mystery from Watts to Bologna," in The New York Times, August 7, 1991, p. C16.
In the following excerpt, Mitgang praises the second Easy Rawlins novel, A Red Death, noting that Mosley "has depicted a special locale and a corner-cutting way of life that most readers will find far more riveting than the crime pages of their newspapers."
Good writers, including mystery writers, somehow know how to make their fictional characters foretell events before they actually happen in real life. They strike the prescience key on their typewriters or computers and out comes a story that later bounces off the front pages and emits radiation from the nightly horror news on television. Only the writers, of course, know where that magical key is located.
Fortunately for the reader of genre fiction, Walter Mosley in A Red Death again shows that he knows where it is. Last year, he made a strong debut with Devil in a Blue Dress, introducing an affable character named Ezekiel (Easy) Rawlins, who was one-third streetwise survivor, one-third unwitting private investigator and one-third Robin Hood operating in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Now, in his second appearance in what promises to be a series, Easy Rawlins returns, a onetime lawbreaker who has left what he calls the hurting business to don a white hat against the forces of evil.
Easy says people come to him when they can't go to the police. Perhaps someone stole their money or their illegally registered car. Or they're worried about the wrong company their son or daughter is keeping. Easy settles disputes that would otherwise lead to bloodshed. He has a reputation for fairness and the strength of his convictions among the poor blacks of the city: like him, they have migrated from the Southwest seeking dignity and defense jobs in California.
Easy has a thick file at the Los Angeles Police Department, which has been in the news lately because some of its members had their pictures snapped while interpreting the law's due process clause their own way, and the I.R.S. has taken a sudden interest in Easy's financial situation. The time frame in A Red Death is the blacklist era of the 1950's. The F.B.I. is embarked on a Red witch hunt to save the United States from enemies foreign and domestic, real and imagined. A special agent is trying to enlist Easy to spy….
"I'd been looking for a Negro to work for us," the F.B.I. man tells Easy. "Somebody who might have a little trouble but nothing so bad that we couldn't smooth it over if somebody showed a little initiative and some patriotism."
And so Easy is faced with a bigger dilemma than is usually found in detective fiction: to save his own neck at the cost of abandoning his loose moral code. Easy is in this position because he hasn't been paying his back taxes on a couple of apartment buildings he owns. Being a hustler at heart (or, to put it more kindly, resourceful), he masquerades as the janitor, using a cigar-smoking fat man to do the dirty work of collecting the rents. When the I.R.S. catches up with him, he agrees to work undercover for the F.B.I. in a trade-off to solve his tax problems. His main target is a union organizer who also does charity work in black churches.
The plot gets a little tangled and the resolution is somewhat fabricated as the bullets fly, the bodies begin to fall, and a love story is folded in between Easy and the ex-wife of Mouse, Easy's homicidal sidekick who also appeared in the author's first novel. But the reader goes the distance because Mr. Mosley knows his characters so intimately: the period songs they listen to in the saloon ("Two Sleepy People"), the influence of their churches, the clashing views they hold about their African roots. At times, several of the urban people in Mr. Mosley's Watts are not far removed from those living in Catfish Row in Porgy and Bess.
Mr. Mosley has depicted a special locale and a comer-cutting way of life that most readers will find far more riveting than the crime pages of their newspapers.

text: WEST LOGAN The Logan County Sheriff's Office is investigating a brutal beating that put one man in critical condition on Friday afternoon in West Logan. The incident occurred at a house on First Avenue not far from the traffic light around 2 p.m. when the unknown subject entered the residence with a baseball bat and attacked the victim. According to some witnesses in the area, the victim was a visitor from Detroit who was staying at the residence. The suspect fled after delivering a brutal beating to the victim with the baseball bat. The victim was transported to Logan Regional Medical Center for emergency treatment while police began processing the crime scene. Reportedly there was blood splatter all over the kitchen of the residence. The Logan County Sheriff's Department is handling the investigation. Residents in the area were shocked Friday when the area was cordoned off as police began an intensive investigation. The weapon was reportedly recovered by authorities and has been taken into custody as evidence. Blood from the victim is believed to be on it and possibly the suspects fingerprints. Reportedly their were some witnesses to the incident and the Logan County Sheriff's Department was trying to confirm what had happened from them yesterday. Early Tuesday morning Chief Deputy Kent Dingess told The Logan Banner that the victim had regained consciousness and that two officers were heading to the hospital to talk with him and find out more about the nature of the incident and what lead to it as well as find leads to bring the suspect into custody. Dingess confirmed the suspect may face charges of malicious assault at this point. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Logan County Sheriff's Department at 304-792-8590.

Wie steht's mit der Schweizer Ökonomik?
This short paper investigates the impact of Swiss economists by analyzing the citations collected in the Social Sciences Citation Index. It comes as no big surprise that the Anglo- Saxon countries dominate modern economics with respect to the absolute number of eminent, most frequently cited economists. However, data, which are standardized according to differences in population size and economic potential, reveal that Switzerland - compared to the other Continental European countries - exhibits a very high density of eminent economists.
