myExperiment is an open source Web 2.0 repository solution for the born-digital items arising in contemporary research practice. Carefully tailored to the needs of researchers, myExperiment makes it really easy to discover, use, store, share and curate items, to build communities and to form relationships. The myExperiment Repository Enhancement Project is building on this success to deliver an enhanced repository which is coupled seamlessly with EPrints at University of Southampton and the eScholar institutional repository at The University of Manchester (a customised version of Fedora). During the enhancement project we are evolving Packs into more sophisticated "Research Objects" which support replayable, repeatable, reproducible, reusable, repurposable and reliable research. We believe that in the future the sharing of such Research Objects will enhance and ultimately replace the sharing of academic publications in research practice. Project start date: 2009-04-01. Project end date: 2011-03-01. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.2%.
my references
Based on work to date under D2D, this project aims to develop a demonstrator of `My References'. Through this demonstrator, Copac users would be able to aggregate, tag and annotate resources from all services and maintain them separately in their desired web 2.0 contexts. The user will be able to get an Atom feed of the records they've saved with the long-term potential to manage their collection of records within Copac or a suitable APP client outside of the Copac web site - for instance a VLE, blog, RSS reader, or clients such as Netvibes. We will also investigate how this technology can be applied in the Shibboleth authentication environment across services and search sessions over time. Project start date: 2009-03-02.

mobile internet detective
The Intute Internet Detective is already positioned as an extremely popular, well respected online tutorial, helping the user to assess the academic validity of websites. The project intends to build on the existing service by extending its reach to include mobile users, who, as the mobile Internet has developed, have come to expect higher standards when browsing on their handsets. The needs and behaviour of a mobile surfer differs greatly from a desktop surfer, so 'The Mobile Internet Detective' will deliver a user friendly mobile site that is fast and inexpensive to load, providing the right content, presented in the right order and with an adapted layout. Project start date: 2009-07-01. Project end date: 2009-11-30. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.2%.
mobile campus assistant
The Placement Learning and Assessment Toolkit project acknowledges that practice-based learning and the mentoring process would be improved with tools which allowed on-the-spot entry of results of assessments, such that feedback was given and follow-up actions were decided immediately. The project aims to provide a mobile learning toolkit to support practice-based learning, mentoring, and assessment, and to add mobile assessment tools to the e-framework. The project will develop a 'back office' infrastructure to support the deployment of the proposed toolkit and two selected tools. Phase 1 development comprises toolkit analysis, design, and implementation, followed by pilot and evaluation within a simulated environment based in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Phases 2 and 3 involve the application and implementation of the toolkit within real clinical contexts associated with the University of Southampton Foundation Degree in Health and Social Care located within the Health Care Innovation Unit, Thames Valley University, and Bournemouth and Poole College. Phase 3 is funded entirely by the partner institutions, following the first two years which are partially JISC-funded. Project start date: 2006-09-01. Project end date: 2009-08-01.

This start-up repository project will develop a warehouse of medical images and facilitate effective online retrieval tools in the institutional web site to complement the existing online e-leaning and teaching system OASISplus, also known as Blackboard Vista. Although OASIS+, can upload images, it is the way in which images are indexed and thereby retrieved effectively that poses a challenge. Project start date: 2009-04-01. Project end date: 2010-09-01. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.1%.
MIDRIB Project was designed to create, maintain and deliver a comprehensive collection of medical images in digital form for use in teaching and research, in medical and healthcare faculties of Universities and teaching hospitals. The project drew together the best of existing collections into a coherent resource within a single point of reference. Resources were made accessible from a single World Wide Web site via the SuperJanet higher-education network and images were also made available on CD-ROM.

mets awareness training
The Oxford Digital Library has developed some introductory training materials on METS, primarily intended for internal use. This project will develop the existing materials further by making them less institutionally specific. The training materials will be delivered at six locations in the UK. Aims and Objectives Raise general awareness of METS and other closely related emerging standards both within the Programme and among the wider community served by JISC; Provide attendees with sufficient information to assess how METS and related standards might contribute to their institutions' current and planned digital preservation and asset management activities; Enable attendees to find out more about METS for themselves, and to prepare them for the METS tutorial workshops.

Meetings pervade the life of almost all researchers, and increasingly, these take the form of telephone and videoconferences amongst geographically dispersed colleagues. Supporting distributed meetings that are as productive as face-to-face meetings is a primary challenge for research and development in this field. This is the motivation for this proposal. The Access Grid(tm) (AG) is an open collaboration and resource management architecture that already provides many of the capabilities proposed by the JISC for a Virtual Research Environment (VRE). The overall aim of the project is to extend the functionality of the AG with advanced meeting support and information management tools that were developed and validated in the recent e-Science project, CoAKTinG. The project will also deploy this environment as a prototype VRE with end-user communities in order to test, evaluate and discover further user requirements. Our end-user partners represent a cross-section of communities interested in the potential of the proposed VRE to meet their needs. The areas represented by our partners include performance art, social science, middleware development and minority communities. These diverse users will help the project to evaluate the generic value of its capabilities. A phased deployment and evaluation process is planned, starting with the immediate project team as users, to address obvious usability and technical issues, before extending to the project partners who will subject the tools to a more formal evaluation.

Memento is a United States National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP)-funded project aimed at making Web-archived content more readily discoverable. This project is being led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Old Dominion University. Rather than expecting people to know about the growing number of Web archives, and to guess which archive might hold an older version of the resource they're looking for, Memento proposes to make archived content discoverable via the original URL that the searcher already knew about.

The Mobile Campus Assistant project will make existing campus-related information available to University of Bristol students via their mobiles and location-aware smart phones. By building a prototype, open source mobile smart phone application and a mobile-specific web site the project aims to provide students on the move with a demonstration 'where is my nearest...' service, combining up-to-date information from campus sources (e.g. public PC and room availability, wireless hotspots, directions, timetables) with external public data and services including Google maps and City transport timetables.

The goal of LUCERO (Linking University Content for Education and Research Online) is to investigate and prototype the use of linked data technologies and approaches to linking and exposing data for students and researchers. Linked data technologies and principles represent emerging practices to format and interconnect information on the Web. Working with groups of learners, researchers and practitioners based at the Open University, LUCERO will scope, prototype, pilot and evaluate reusable, cost-effective solutions relying on linked data for exposing and connecting educational and research content.

Mimas and UKOLN are working together on an exciting JISC funded project to make our Archives Hub and Copac data available as structured Linked Data, for the benefit of education and research. We will also be working in partnership with Eduserv, Talis and OCLC, leading experts within their fields. We want to put archival and bibliographic data at the heart of the Linked Data Web, enabling new links to be made between diverse content sources and enabling the free and flexible exploration of data so that researchers can make new connections between subjects, people, organisations and places to reveal more about our history and society.

This work will investigate metadata application profile requirements for learning materials in relation to digital repositories. This follows the development of an ePrints application profile undertaken within the JISC Digital Repositories Programme and led by Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation) and Julie Allinson (RRT UKOLN) on behalf of JISC. Application profiles for images, time based media and Geospatial are also being developed. As 'learning materials" encompass a much wider range of resource types than these other activities, and as there is a range of related specifications (e.g. Content Packaging, Learning Design, QTI) to be taken into consideration, it follows that this particular scoping study may require a different approach to that taken by the ePrints profile. It is proposed that the learning materials application profiles scoping study should synthesize and analyse the advice that is currently available to managers of repositories of educational materials who need to define a metadata element set to describing the resources in their collections. A typical collection of learning materials is likely to include a wide range of resource types (e.g. images, web pages, digital media, assessment items) all of which require description. In addition there are other factors such as accessibility and preservation that may need to be considered when describing resources. Most domains and resource types have developed their own specialised metadata and have their own perception of the minimum effort required for best practice. Project start date: 2007-12-01.

LIW for academic and non academic staff' develops an existing Location Independent Working (LIW) scheme operating within the University's wholly-owned commercial company, Coventry University Enterprises Ltd. (CUE) to make it suitable for academic staff in teaching roles. CUE has successfully implemented LIW for over 50% (currently this amounts to c.75 people) of its staff. The project aligns the cultural change necessary at individual, departmental and institutional levels with the application of tried and tested technologies to develop a comprehensive e-working scheme for academic and non-academic staff. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that LIW can bring significant benefits to teaching staff, their employers and their students and to build an LIW framework that can be adopted by other members of the JISC community. We will build a production quality e-working service for academic staff of Coventry University. Project start date: 2007-11-01. Project end date: 2009-04-01.

The aim of this project is to implement an open-source reading list system ('List8d') that is accessible and easy to use for all user groups. List8D should also be a useful and sustainable resource for the JISC Information Environment. The project aims to achieve the following technical goals: Portable data with the ability to feed information to and from mashups. Open content and open standards. Solution to be reusable, by any institution, with a well-documented API. Support for tools such as Refworks, Endnote, and Zotero. Internationalisation support. We aim to achieve the following business and user-oriented goals: Help librarians manage their stock levels and serve students better. Be easy for the students to use, with information served by the application accessible in a variety of places. Ideally the students will not be aware of the existence of the application, they will simply see reading lists appearing in appropriate places. Provide accurate information for librarians and library managers, saving time and avoiding unsuitable or inaccurate inputs into the reading list system. Be easy for the academics to use, and help them to ensure that there are sufficient course materials available for the students. Promote agile development practises within the University of Kent.

What is the Art Glass Guild?The Art Glass Guild is a non-profit art glass co-op and working studio that is located in the Spanish Village Art Center (SVAC) in San Diego, Calif. Each of our 38 members is considered a "Glass Ambassador" and is expected to educate the public about art glass. We share art glass information in a variety of ways, including through lectures, demonstrations, and sharing video and printed information to anyone who is interested in learning about art glass. Thirty-five of our members offer their art glass for sale at our studio, while the other three are with us because they enjoy being involved in the art glass community and educating the public.
Spanish Village Art Center is made up of 39 different art studios, five of which are guilds. Each studio has a variety of partners who create their art and sell it on-site. Each of the five guilds in the Village have around 35-40 members, which means that Spanish Village is home to over 300 artists. Visitors can watch glass being blown, pottery being made, metal smiths hammering out jewelry, weavers spinning wool they have sheared from their own llamas, silk painters creating gorgeous scarves, and artists painting lovely pictures. The Art Glass Guild is part of this vital community.
Why was the Art Glass Guild Formed?The Art Glass Guild was formed in 1998 because a group of glass artists were looking for a viable way to share their passion for glass while expanding the public's knowledge and appreciation of this beautiful and versatile art form. My vision was to make the Guild a successful working studio while creating an environment of sharing information with the other artists and educating the public, and I can honestly say that I am very happy with our success.
What types of glass art are typically worked with/offered?We commonly offer blown glass, stained glass, lamp-work beads and jewelry, fused glass, cast, mosaic, torch-worked, etched and sandblasted glass. We also have many combination and crossover items that feature metal with glass and/or wire, wood, resin, fossils, stone, depression glass, hand weaving and semi-precious stones.
It has always fascinated me that 35 artists can take the medium of glass and combine it with their imagination to create such a vast array of items-vases, paperweights, perfume bottles, necklaces, wind chimes, weather vanes, door knobs, wishing balls, plates, sushi plates, marbles, hair clips, earrings, rings, water fountains, windows, wall hangings, bracelets, night lights, cups, cake toppers, coasters, sconces, pocket vases, letter openers-the list is endless.
How much involvement do the Guild's artists have with the Guild and with the broader glass community?Each member works at the studio one day per month. They demonstrate their art and educate the public, and they also are responsible for one "Guild job" (e.g., buying cleaning supplies, boxes, bubblewrap and cleaning the studio). In addition, each member is also expected to volunteer to help out with Guild events, such as our Semi-Annual Show and Sale and our Open Houses. At these events, all participants must share in coordinating, advertising, setup and demonstrations.
Many members also volunteer their time and services to help with the Spanish Village Art Center by chairing events, running fundraising booths at SVAC events, being SVAC board members, and working on publicity and graphic arts for advertising.
Each member of the Guild is also expected to donate at least one of their art items (many donate several) to be provided to other non-profit groups for use in their fundraising activities. I believe this helps our group create a flow of positive energy by helping many branches of the community. Some of the groups we have donated to include: Alpha Project, Feral Cat Coalition, House Rabbit Society, Project Wildlife, San Diego Center for the Blind, San Diego Youth Services, San Diego Zoological Society, and the Spanish Village Art Center.
One of our Guild members traveled to Africa to help set up an art program to teach the local residents new skills that would enable them to have their own self-supporting art co-op. Other members have received grants to help with programs they created to use glass to work with underprivileged children and low-income families.
Many of our Art Glass Guild members help support the community by working or teaching at dozens of the local glass-blowing studios, glass supply stores, colleges, and adult education centers in San Diego and Los Angeles. Several of our members have received prestigious scholarships and apprenticeships to organizations such as the Corning School of Glass, Dale Chihuly's Pilchuck, and the Penland School of Glass, as well as several programs in Italy and South America.
What types of classes are offered, and how often?We started offering classes about five years ago, after frequent requests from our loyal customers. We have a strong following, not just with the local San Diego residents, but with many folks who travel to see us from all over the world.
We felt it was important to be consistent with our high quality and the diversity that keeps our customers coming back, so we decided to offer classes that are unique: one-on-one and geared for the student and whatever pace they feel comfortable with. Unlike most other classes, our class fees include all supplies and equipment usage. There are no hidden fees, and we supply everything. Anyone interested in taking a class can just contact an instructor and set up a day and time for their class. We currently offer classes in etching, fusing, stained glass, lamp-working, PMC, jewelry-making and wire-working.
How does the Art Glass Guild interact with the Art Glass Association of Southern California?The Art Glass Association of Southern California (AGASC) was founded in 1981 by a group of San Diego glass artists who loved glass. As they started meeting and sharing ideas and information, the association was born.
The two groups share members and ideas, and often take turns hosting workshops and demonstrations. Currently, the Art Glass Guild has a Semi-Annual Show and Sale in May and October. We fill the entire patio at the Spanish Village Art Center with the glass art from our 35 artists, plus guest artists.
The Art Glass Association of Southern California has a juried Annual Gallery Show that lasts approximately two weeks in November. This show typically includes small to large items; some may be industrial in scope or scale while others are interactive. The only requirements to enter are that the artist is a current member of the AGASC and that the art contains 51% glass.
For additional information, contact the Art Glass Guild at 1770 Village Place, Studio 25, San Diego, CA 92101; (619) 702-8006; or visit www.agasc.org.

The Westport Heritage Festival's annual celebration of community has turned into a real highlight of each summer. This year's event takes place Saturday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the library lawn. Arranged around the theme "Living Local Before Local Was Cool," it offers "a snapshot in time from the 1950s, when people lived, worked, shopped, worshipped, and recreated locally."
There will be lots of fun things to see and do, especially for children, who can enjoy an array of games and activities from days gone by. Cynthia Ford-Johnston of Dacy Meadow Farm, who with her husband, Dave, is helping the chamber of commerce organize the event, told me they plan to visit the Youth Commission Summer Program at WCS a couple of days ahead of time "to try out some of the 50s games on the kids. We hope that they return with their parents to demonstrate what they've learned."
Dave and Cynthia have also used their imaginations in drawing on local vendors to feed those attending the festival. The idea is to offer a community picnic "car-hop" style on the library lawn -with picnic baskets and blankets provided. You'll be brought an order form to fill out, and the basket will be assembled and delivered to you as you relax in comfort. As of this writing, sandwich options include egg salad, vegetarian, BBQ beef, and even Michigans.
Bread will come from Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams (where extended summer hours mean you can pick up baked goods every day), produce from Adam Hainer's Juniper Hill farm (available at Everybody's and Dogwood), and Michigans from Kevin Russell (who'll have his super-de-duper hot-dog cart on hand). The BBQ beef will come from Dacy Meadow, and the dessert portion of the baskets will be from Me and My Girls and the Inn.
The money raised from the festival goes to support the Heritage House, which will be showing Roy Rogers, Leave It to Beaver episodes, and Looney Tunes cartoons, in case your nostalgia really kicks in. Ah bedeh, ah-bedeh, that's all, folks.

After a system crash and reboot Event Viewer shows the following two faults. The System locks and restarts WHEA-Logger Event ID 18 and Service Control Manager Event ID 7023 — Service Stop Operations. This is info given on Microsoft IT Professional website. To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. Can PCA Forum help resolve the problem please?

Event Manager faults almost meaningless in trying to interpret them so gave up on that approach. Device Manager in windows suggested all my drivers were up to date confirmed by running the Intel automatic driver updater from their website which showed no updates required. Getting nowhere and not getting any answers from the PCA Forum I decided to run a program SIW which gives a detailed breakdown of full system on computer. I then noticed a SIW update called AIDA64 Extreme Edition for W7 64bit and tried this program. When I ran it and tried driver updates it launched a website called DriverAgent.com with a free scan to check driver updates and running this gave me a list of 5 drivers which were out of date. Yes youv'e guessed it you had to pay for downloading the program to run them, but armed with the full details of driver descritions I manually trawled the updates out by googling them individually by trial and error. Surprisingly, Intel updates were available on the chipset and graphics driver and audio(realtek)which were not suggested from Intels own website updater or Windows Device Manager. Having run the driver updates I appear to have a stable computer once more.

Snrub. Interesting what you say. In a very smaller way I had a driver problem concerning stereo-mix in Win 7 not present on the onboard audio chip. Same old story and couldn't run Audacity. Device Manager showed all OK so I tried to update the driver via DM but Win 7 said all up to date.
Now DM showed the audio chip as High Definition Audio and no other info. So went to properties, details tab and selected Hardware Ids. Copied the ID top line and Googled. All came back as Realtek. Tried Belarc and that failed, only to show High Definition Audio. So back to Device Manager and the audio chip then selected update driver but this time selecting 'browse my computer for software' and lo and behold it showed it was Realtek.
So back to searching Realtek High Definition Audio driver for Win 7 64-bit and C|Net kindly gave me the download. Installed and rebooted and my 'old friend' stereo-mix was back. Hence Audacity also up and running.
Wonder what Microsoft are gaining making these drivers so difficult to update, especially when someone has troubles to your degree?
As far as event viewer is concerned then, in my humble opinion, it can give confusing information, as it is showing what occurred but does not identify what really causes the problem.

For future use CLICK HERE this is what I use. It's called 'SlimDrivers'. Install it and run it. It's totally free. It will check all the drivers on your system, it then backs them up. then it checks for newer ones and installs them.

Thanks Graphicool 1 that's interesting, ran 'Slim Drivers free' and showed 17 driver updates recommended and tries to push Driver Manager which you have to pay for if you want to automate downloading all required drivers in one go. However, if you stick with 'Slim Drivers' you can download them one by one. I did this and of the 17 recommended about half came up that I had a later driver version installed, so declined these updates. This program is well worth a try and seems to have worked ok.

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galena Biopharma (Nasdaq:GALE), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative, targeted oncology treatments that address major unmet medical needs to advance cancer care, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and provided a business update.
A video accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=18614
"We envision a day when breast cancer survivors can live free from fear of disease recurrence, and are focused on advancing NeuVax in both our Phase 3 PRESENT study and Phase 2b combination trial," said Mark J. Ahn, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. "Also, with the acquisition of FDA-approved Abstral, I am more excited than ever about our prospects as we further accelerate into a commercial company. Over the past two months, the Abstral team has made significant progress by transferring the New Drug Application two months ahead of schedule and reaching several regulatory, manufacturing, and clinical milestones, as we drive towards commercial launch in the fourth quarter of this year."1Q, 2013 Highlights
- Lead product, NeuVax (nelipepimut-S), is enrolling patients in two key trials.
- NeuVax is the first adjuvant breast cancer vaccine to enter pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials. Galena is currently enrolling its randomized, multi-national Phase 3 trial entitled PRESENT ( Prevention of Recurrence in Early- Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax™ Treatment). The study is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is currently enrolling in over 125 clinical sites worldwide.
- A randomized, multicenter investigator-sponsored, 300 patient Phase 2b clinical trial began enrolling patients to study NeuVax in combination with Herceptin® (trastuzumab; Genentech/Roche).
- Received the 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation for NeuVax. In March 2013, independent research firm, Frost & Sullivan, recognized Galena Biopharma with the 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased ROI it offers customers, which, in turn, increases customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.
- NeuVax mechanism of action video now available at http://www.neuvax.com/how-neuvax-works/ . The video can also be viewed on the www.galenabiopharma.com website.
- Acquired Abstral® (fentanyl) Sublingual Tablets in U.S., a Novel, Best-in-Class Treatment Approved for Breakthrough Cancer Pain. In March 2013, Galena acquired Abstral from Orexo AB (ORX.ST), an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company based in Sweden. Abstral was approved by the FDA in 2011, and is an important new treatment option for inadequately controlled breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) in patients who are already receiving, and who are tolerant to, opioid therapy for their persistent baseline cancer pain. BTcP has been shown to affect as many as 40%-80% of cancer patients, with reported episodes of four per day and a median duration of 30 minutes. The innovative Abstral formulation delivers the analgesic power of micronized fentanyl in a sublingual tablet, which dissolves under the tongue within seconds. Abstral provides rapid relief of BTcP, predictable dosing, and is convenient and easy to use. It is the transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl (TIRF) market leader in Europe, and Galena expects to launch the drug into the $400 million U.S. market for TIRFs in in the fourth quarter of 2013.
- Strengthened the management team and expanded the Board of Directors with experts in oncology commercialization.
First Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights Operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $6.6 million, including $0.4 million in stock-based compensation charges, compared with an operating loss of $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which includes $0.7 million in stock-based compensation charges.
- Christopher S. Lento joined Galena as its Vice President of Sales and Commercial Operations to launch Abstral. Mr. Lento has 20 years of experience in senior level positions managing the sales, business development and operations at major healthcare companies including Genentech BioOncology, Altos Solutions, Abraxis Bioscience (acquired by Celgene Corporation), and US Oncology Network.
- William L. Ashton joined the Company's Board of Directors in May 2013. Mr. Ashton is a senior executive with more than twenty-eight years of experience in biotechnology and pharmaceutical leadership and management. Most recently, at Amgen, Inc., he served as Vice President of corporate and government affairs and Vice President of sales, and was directly responsible for product launches, as well as interaction with key government agencies including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. After retiring from Amgen, Mr. Ashton joined the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia where he currently serves as Associate Provost and Senior Vice President of Strategic Business Development, Founding Dean, Mayes College of Healthcare Business and Policy, and Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Business.

Beetles Offer Blueprint For Light-Reflecting Materials
"Jewel beetles" are well known for their striking metallic green external skeletons that appear to change colors according to the angle of view.
Now, thanks to new research by scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, the beetles may also offer a blueprint for materials that reflect light rather than absorbing it to produce colors.
The scientists discovered that jewel beetles (Chrysina gloriosa) change their color because of the light-reflecting properties of the cells that make up their external skeletons, not because of the unique, light-absorbing properties in their pigment.
The findings could be significant for companies such as car manufacturers that look to manufacture reflective light paints for automobiles, the researchers said.
"The Chrysina gloriosa beetle reflects a green light," said Mohan Srinivasarao with Georgia Tech's School of Polymer, Textile & Fiber Engineering, and the study's lead researcher.
"This has been known for about 100 years, but we've determined the colors we see result from the beetle's physical structure rather than its biology."
Srinivasarao had previously studied cholesteric liquid crystals, which are used in hi-tech reflective displays.
"The two systems were remarkably similar," he said during an interview BBC News.
"When I first looked at the beetle's exoskeleton (with the microscope) I thought, 'I've seen this somewhere before'."
When light hits an opaque surface, the surface will scatter, absorb or reflect that light to produce colors. In the case of the jewel beetle's external skeleton, its five, six and seven sided cells spontaneously arrange themselves to reflect light at certain wavelengths that produce green, yellow and red colors.
Srinivasarao hypothesizes that beetle cells form similar to a certain kind of liquid crystal called a 'cholesteric' liquid crystal, whose free surface has cone-like structures and that has a helical arrangement of molecules.
The research suggests the cells derive from spontaneous arrangement of glucose-like particles known as chitin molecules, which form as cones like those in a cholesteric liquid crystal. When these cones solidify, they preserve their structures and produce colors as light hits them from different angles.
The beetle's structure also forms helices similar to a cholesteric liquid crystal in that its straight cells sit on or are used to form the curved structure of its external skeleton. Research shows that when the pitch of the helix of cholesteric liquid crystals is close to the wavelength of visible light, they reflect light with specific wavelengths, leading to brilliant metallic colors.
"It's stunning how similar the two things are," said Srinivasarao.
Miniature optical devices and photonics such as those imagined for microlasers and implantable medical sensors could benefit from the finding. Scientists already are analyzing ways to commercialize and apply materials that have properties similar to jewel beetles.
Indeed, researchers in New Zealand are studying beetles to produce a thin, solid mineral, magnesium oxide, which can be ground into flakes and potentially used as a currency security measure.
Automakers might also be able to use the materials to paint cars that change color depending on a person's angle of view. Additional applications might include decorative paints and use on any surface requiring light reflection without light absorption.
Srinivasarao says he doesn't yet completely understand all the optical properties and behavior of light as it interacts with the beetle's external skeleton. Additional work needs to be done, he says, but it is something he and his team are pursuing.
The study was published in the July 24 issue of the journal Science.

Fantasy football leagues are almost over and out this year, so I'm trying to find some new ways to invest my oh-so-talented hypothetical wisdom (here I come, fantasy golf!). But if there was a rap fantasy league, and there really should be, my waivers would already be pending for Memphis emcee Skewby - the reason he's still unsigned is a mystery to me. Today the Freestyle Series alum is here to post some big numbers yet again with the premiere of Everyday, a new leak from his forthcoming LP. Floating seamlessly over a cool melody from Charlie White and Premo (no, not Primo), Skewby drops knowledge on why the industry can be so hard for up-and-comers with lines like, "Building up my grammar, finding samples I can pan out/ Now I'm in the game and everybody got they hand out." If you liked this quick strike touchdown drive be sure to check out Skewby's More or Less LP, dropping via yours truly December 21, just in time for the playoffs.

I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence. You can set the book type for DVD-RW media to DVD-ROM. I haven't tried DVD-R media (I don't have anything I need to write yet and didn't feel like wasting a disc to test); the command succeeds without error.

Blue Mountain Vineyards & CellarsRead MoreJoe and Vickie, the owners of Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars, are pinot pioneers. Beginning with a 5-acre experiment in 1986, they discovered that the soil of the Lehigh Valley does a fine impression of French terrain, making it suitable for growing the grapes of cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and other European varietals. Since then, they've expanded to a 50-acre plot, where they now produce wines that have won awards from the Fingerlake International Wine Competition and Appellation America. Panoramic views of the Blue Mountains overlook scenic terraces at the vineyards, where grapes spring from soil that soldiers roamed during the Revolutionary War. Tastings, concerts, and other events fill the winery's glass-flanked deck, from wine-and-chocolate pairings to wine-and-more-wine pairings. Many of these gatherings spill out onto a patio surrounded by tranquil ponds. Visitors can admire the vines during tours and adopt their favorites to preserve the vines' flavorful histories.51 N 12th St, #76Philadelphia, PA US
Heritage StationRead MoreAmid a 22-acre estate, Heritage Vineyards's grape grapplers craft award-winning wines and pair them with sumptuous finger foods. Visiting pairs can choose a lunch dish and a glass apiece from the grandiose wine list. Sip the 2007 cabernet sauvignon, which comes tinged with a deep crimson hue and flavors of cherry and currant, or the Jersey blush, a semisweet concoction that can be smeared on the cheeks to express embarrassment. Meanwhile, the newly released 2009 chambourcin has been aged for 14 months in French-oak barrels and brandishes a complex bouquet of tastes. Or find matches for your wines without filling out 30-page questionnaires by scanning the lunch menu, which pairs the wines with compatible cheese-laden fare such as the warm pepperoni-and-cheese bread or the baked brie, formed with a fig spread and served with sesame crackers.480 Mullica Hill RdMullica Hill, NJ US
Sharrott WineryRead MoreHome to a rousing lineup of award-winning wines, Sharrott Winery's passionate staff helps make the nuanced art of drinking wine more easily accessible. Located on 35 rolling acres, the winery and vineyard crafts a host of varietals from start to finish—tending to rows of grapes and fermenting the juices at their on-site facility. Samples of nectars such as the silver medal-wearing dry riesling or the trio, a grape trifecta that results in smooth notes of vanilla, lilac, and fresh cherries, are available inside the spacious tasting room, which overlooks the vineyard so grapes can mature before guests' very eyes.370 South Egg Harbor RoadHammonton, NJ US
Taste PhiladelphiaRead MoreThe black-tie-optional event features samples and representation from the area's top restaurants, live entertainment by Charly Marshall and Joe Gransden, and live, silent, and wine auctions. The city's preeminent culinary benefit provides guests with elegant food samplings and wine tastings from Atlanta's top restaurants for a good cause. Get this Groupon for a delicious midweek treat, to woo a foodie and reap good karma, or for the opportunity to ogle fish, both alive and cooked, while wearing fancyfits.711 Easton Rd.Warrington, PA US
Peace Valley WineryRead MorePeace Valley Winery's 20-acre estate delights wine gurus with its gorgeous facilities and vineyards brimming with two dozen varieties of distinctly flavorful grapes. Today's Groupon grants guests access to a range of winetivities and items. Start off with a wine tasting ($5 fee, waived with purchase of a bottle), and allow one of Peace Valley's fermentation-fanatic staff members to informally demonstrate how to analyze the winery's varietals.300 Old Limekiln RdChalfont, PA US
Cardinal Hollow WineryRead MoreChris, Cardinal Hollow Winery's owner and winemaker, ferments more than 2,000 gallons of juice each year to fill the facility's wood-paneled, cabin-like interior and its tasting room with more than 25 innovative varieties of the potent potable. Both independently and as part of the grape-cobbled highway of the Montgomery County Wine Trail, Cardinal Hollow invites visitors to wet their whistles at tastings and nourish brain orchards in classes. A two-hour lesson includes a full tour of the facilities such as the tasting room, which can be rented for parties of up to 100 people. Along with a tasting, guests will be given an overview of the history and the process of winemaking. During the class, oenophiles sink incisors into salty cheese and crackers while absorbing lessons on wine-and-food pairings at a bar that's supported by sturdy wine barrels. Guests can also peruse Cardinal Hollow wearables at the winery?s retail shop or groove to the live music that permeates the air about once a month.405 E. Walnut St.North Wales, PA US

Thanks for sharing those gorgeous quilts!ReplyDelete
As for lack of power, maybe on your next flea market forays, or wherever, start looking for a treadle or hand crank machine - that way, with an oil hurricane lamp, you can still sew when the mojo hits LOL
Thanks again, for your super books - looking forward to more.

A bagger is a grocery store employee who is responsible for collecting customer's groceries, packaging them according to customer specifications, and possibly taking these groceries out to the customer's vehicle. A bagger is expected to be courteous and pay close attention to customer requests.Read More...
A bagger is expected to keep their work area clean. When necessary, a bagger is expected to help in other areas of the store, including stocking shelves and cleaning bathrooms. A bagger can also be asked to carry out other tasks in a store, such as collecting shopping carts, taking out trash, or assisting customers with finding an item. A bagger works both inside and outside of grocery stores and supermarkets. A bagger interacts with customers and a number of employees. A bagger works closely with cashiers, other baggers, and their direct supervisor while carrying out their primary duties. While carrying out other duties in the store, a bagger is expected to work closely with other members of staff in that area.
There are no educational requirements to become a bagger, but a bagger must be able to speak and read English be legally allowed to work in the United States. A bagger can work either part-time and full-time. A typical morning shift for a bagger will start an hour before store opening, and a typical night shift will end an hour after store closing.

Advancing into a Customer Service Representative role seems to be a popular career move for Baggers, and folks who currently work in the latter position report a notably larger median income of $29K per year. A Cashier or a Grocery Store Stock Clerk is a typical transition from a Bagger role.
Salaries are easily beat at The Kroger Company, where median pay comes to just $16K, the lowest in the field. What's more, with base pay starting at $15K and ending at $17K, range in salary is rather small.

True, just as critics will create them when they don't really exist.
Are you saying the Bible is without contradictions and inconsistencies? It isn't. Critics don't need to go making any up. There are enough real problems with the Bible where we don't need to go making any up. Of course there are some that have a misunderstanding of what the Bible (or some other religious text says), but on the whole most Biblical critics don't go around making things up to criticize. Scientists, historians and reputable scholars in every field start with evidence and work from that to conclusions. If subsequent evidence doesn't fit, they adjust their conclusions accordingly. Defenders of the accuracy of the bible, however, start with their conclusions (the Bible is inerrant) and invent whatever evidence seems necessary to support them.
I'm not assuming anything. I never said all athiests do this. I am merely stating what I have encountered. Admittedly I only know about 4 staunch athiests, none of whom have ever even so much as read a single sacred text.
I doubt you're correct. I bet your four staunch atheist friends are plenty familiar with the beliefs of a few religions. But even if they aren't, this makes them "pacifist atheists" that are "just kind of resting on some notion that if the evidence was there that "science" would find it"?
I know many others who call themselves such becuase they just don't have any formed beleif structure, but when you get down to it, they are not true athiests.
They're not true atheists? If they are without belief in God/gods, they're TRUE atheists.
I don't agree that a Buddhist must necessarly disbelieve in a God, but I see your point and generally agree.
I never implied they did. That's one of the things that separate Buddhism from religions. Buddhism is more accurately described as a philosophy as their are no rigid set of tenets or necessary belief in a deity that must be adhered to.
and atheists have embraced (almost as a religion) the ever changing and fallable theories of science to the exclusion of all else.
No, not "almost as a religion". Belief in science has zero in common with belief in religion. I embrace science because it works and is the best system of finding truth mankind has yet to find.
As I said in my first post, there is no common ground with which to have any kind of meaningful discussion.
Yes, there is. A search for truth is common ground enough. We don't have to have common ground to debate ideas. We shouldn't have common ground to debate ideas.
You never answered this question:
Can you be more specific? What sort of exploring might lead me to evidence of an intelligent being that is responsible for creating everything, punishes and rewards, has no limits, knows all, etc.?

Basically it picks up the 802.11x and aggregates that stream on a different larger channel and so forth until you get to the equivalent of an ISP? The power problem is still an issue.

Top Obama aide predicts drama-free U.S. debt ceiling increase
Published on Jan 31, 2014 12:43 PM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - A top White House official voiced confidence on Thursday that Republicans would agree in the next few weeks to lift the country's borrowing limit without using the confrontational tactics that rattled financial markets in past years.
White House Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell said she believes there is less appetite on Capitol Hill for the messy fiscal standoffs that have taken place in recent years, such as the 2011 struggle over the debt limit and last October's budget fight that led to a 16-day shutdown of the government.
In an interview with Reuters, Ms Burwell pointed to the passage earlier this month of a US$1.1 trillion (S$2 trillion) bill to keep the government funded for the next nine months.
The vote to approve the budget bill followed an agreement reached in December between Republican Representative Paul Ryan and Democratic Senator Patty Murray that included some deficit reduction along with a modest easing of automatic budget cuts known as the "sequester."

Raonic Presented Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal
Toronto, Canada
by ATP Staff|
Top Canadian Milos Raonic was honoured in a special ceremony Friday at Queen's Park in Toronto, presented the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by MPP Peter Shurman.
"I am pleased to present the Diamond Jubilee Medal to Milos Raonic in recognition of his commitment to excellence, sportsmanship and dedication," said Shurman. "Thornhill is proud to have Milos representing our country and our community on the world stage.
"Thornhill is a richly diverse community and obviously the home to some of Canada's top athletes. Milos has battled his way to becoming one of Canada's highest rated tennis players in history and is an example of hard work and commitment that youth in Thornhill, Ontario and all of Canada can look up to."
The Diamond Jubilee Medal celebrates the 60th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ascending the throne as Queen of Canada. In celebration of her service to the country, the medals have been bestowed on individuals who have made their own contributions to the community and to Canada.
Raonic had been unable to join the other 13 medal recipients from Thornhill at the presentation ceremony in June, which fell during Wimbledon. The 21 year old finished the 2012 season at No. 13 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, winning titles in Chennai and San Jose.

|A study of NCAA division I athletes on the use and the effects of combining alcohol & energy drinks
|Woolsey, Conrad L., 1981-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The three main purposes of this study were (a) to determine the quantity-frequency rates of alcohol use, combined use (using an energy drink within plus or minus four hours of consuming alcohol), and energy drink use in a population of D-I athletes, (b) to compare reported risk taking behaviors and negative health consequences within combined users (n = 132), and (c) to investigate differences between men and women on reported risk taking behaviors. A total of 401 student athletes from a large Division I university participated in the study. From the complete Quick Drink Screen (QDS) sample of 401 athletes, 315 or 78.55% used alcohol, 150 or 37.41% combined, and 194 or 48.62% used energy drinks within the past year. Results indicated that combined users consumed significantly more alcohol than athletes that used alcohol only. However, combined users consumed nearly double the amount of alcohol when they did not combine energy drinks with alcohol. Yet, results of the Brief Comprehensive Effects of Alcohol (B-CEOA) and Combined Use (B-CEOCU) expectancy measures still indicated that when athletes combined they took significantly more risks and experienced significantly more negative consequences. Results also indicated that men took significantly more risks than women while drinking alcohol only and combining.

NCAA, UAAP junior champs collide
THE TWO CHAMPIONS of the country's top leagues clash today as the NCAA juniors rulers San Beda Red Cubs take on the UAAP juniors champions Far Eastern University for a slot in the semifinals in the Philippine Secondary Schools Basketball Championship at the Chiang Kai Shek College gym in Manila.
The Red Cubs went untouched in group play as they swept all four of their opponents, thanks to the consistent play of Arvie Tolentino, JV Mocon and Alejandro Inigo.
In contrast, FEU finished with a 2-2 (win-loss) record but is expected to go all out today behind reigning two-time juniors MVP, the sought-after Cebuano Jerie Marlon Pingoy.
Also facing off for tickets to the semifinal round are Hope Christian High School and Xavier School while Chang Kai Shek School battle the Letran Squires. San Sebastian also takes on the University of Santo Tomas. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio

I used these cards for Christmas instead of New Years. Very easy to change things around. I used a photo of kittens that I'm fostering and the team at MagnetStreet helped me adjust the photo perfectly. The paper and printing are beautiful.Reviewed by scubamom

Great but Large Logo on Back
Wonderful product! Would absolutely order again. Only wish the Magnet Street logo credit on the back had been smaller or more subtly incorporated in some way. I feel it detracted from the overall beauty of the product. Was very well received, otherwise. Easy use of editing program made the design process fun and instantly gratifying! Would order again.Reviewed by KeightieH

To careful observers of Michael Morton's long search for justice, one of the biggest revelations of Mark Alan Norwood's capital murder trial came late in the day Wednesday, when a Williamson County employee named Jennifer Smith took the stand. For much of the day, testimony had centered on the bloody blue bandana that had been found behind the Morton home in 1986 and was finally subjected to DNA testing in 2011. (The results exonerated Michael, who had been wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, Christine, and brought about the indictment of Norwood, whose DNA was found intermingled with her blood.) As readers of my series on Michael's case may remember, that DNA testing had taken place over the heated objections of then-Williamson County D.A. John Bradley. Michael's attorneys had filed their first motion for DNA testing back in 2005, and Bradley had fought them for the next five years until an appellate court stepped in and issued an order that the testing be performed.
The battle over DNA testing has not been discussed in front of the jury in the Norwood case. (Nor have any of the details of Michael's wrongful conviction, due to a court order that bars any testimony about it during Norwood's trial.) But Williamson County's longstanding resistance to having the bandana tested was very much on my mind when Smith—who supervises the county's evidence room—testified that no one had been able to locate the bandana until it was finally discovered on May 25, 2010. (This date, not coincidentally, follows closely on the heels of a judge's order instructing the county to submit the bandana for DNA testing.) It was on that day, Smith said, that she was visited by a prosecutor and an investigator from the D.A.'s office who instructed her to open every single sealed envelope in the Morton evidence file. Eventually, after carefully opening and re-sealing each envelope, she was able to locate the bandana. "It wasn't labeled properly, so we didn't know it was there," Smith told the jury.
In fairness to Smith, she seemed diligent and eager to modernize the poorly-organized evidence room that she had inherited. She testified that after more digging, she eventually managed to locate the strand of hair that had been found with the bandana in 1986. (The hair was hidden, as if it were a Russian nesting doll, inside a succession of mislabeled manila envelopes.) Then, and only then, was the evidence ready to be submitted for testing. In other words, throughout the five years that Williamson County had staged a pitched battle in state and federal court to block DNA testing of the bandana and the strand of hair, no one actually knew their whereabouts.
Much of Wednesday's testimony highlighted the capriciousness of Williamson County justice, and testimony from John Kirkpatrick, Christine's older brother, emphasized local law enforcement's seeming indifference to aggressively investigating the case. Kirkpatrick's lingering exasperation was evident as he described arriving at the Morton home the morning after the murder. "I didn't see any police," he told the jury. "I was frustrated by the total lack of investigation. I felt like so many things should have been happening for such a recent event." Frantic to take action before leads went cold, he said he made phone calls around town, trying to see if anyone could conduct a search of the surrounding area with tracking dogs, which he hoped could pick up the scent of his sister's killer. "As far as I was concerned, this was an outside intruder that had come in and killed my sister," he testified. "It seemed so obvious."
Out of desperation he decided to try to re-trace the killer's footsteps. He started at the spot where he felt certain that the intruder had entered the Morton home: the sliding glass door at the rear of the house, which had been unlocked on the morning of the murder. From there, he walked across the backyard to the inside perimeter of the privacy fence, where he said he noticed one, or maybe two, impressions in the ground that appeared to be where someone had landed after jumping the fence. Then he walked around behind the fence and looked back at the Morton home. "You could see through the fence," he said. "There were gaps in the boards where you could see Michael's comings and goings, and when Chrissy was gone. This was how someone had cased it out."
He told the jury that he explored the densely wooded lot behind the privacy fence until he reached a nearby construction site. It was there, by the curb, that he spotted the bandana. "The moment I saw it, I knew it was important," he said. "I carefully picked it up and looked at it." He remembered noting that portions of the bandana were discolored. "I'm not going to say I knew it was blood, but it looked abnormal," Kirkpatrick told the jury. He picked up the bandana by the corner, being as careful as possible not to contaminate it. Then he walked back into the Morton home, placed it in a Ziploc bag, and called the sheriff's department. Kirkpatrick stated that he was never questioned by law enforcement about the bandana, and he never heard about it again.
Kirkpatrick said he left Texas after his sister's funeral. "I put this as far out of my mind for so long," he testified. He went on to explain that he and his wife had only recently informed their grown children—who are 28 and 30—that Christine had been murdered.
A normally taciturn marine biologist, Kirkpatrick was overcome with emotion several times as he recounted memories of his baby sister. He told the jury of attending her 1979 wedding to Michael, at which she aimed her bouquet right at him, striking him in the chest. When he let the bouquet fall to the ground, she picked it up and forced it into his hands. Three months later, he told the jury, he met his future wife,
