Good intentions do not always make good law, a Pulaski County circuit judge ruled Tuesday in an order temporarily barring Secretary of State Mark Martin from enforcing regulations on the petition procedure that allows Arkansans to bypass the Legislature and directly pass laws.

Egypt and Syria rightly get the lion's share of attention in the Arab world these days. However, three other important developments in Kuwait, Sudan and Tunisia during the past week have highlighted other important trends that help us see the full condition of the region and the transformations that are likely to ensue.
The deep political volatility across the whole Arab world and the very different forms of protest, contestation and change under way indicate clearly that we are witnessing something more historic than the mere desire of hundreds of millions of people to live in more accountable democracies. We are experiencing the collapse of significant portions of the Arab order and its power structures that defined a majority of countries and governments since the 1950s. This order is crumbling under the weight of its own deficiencies, failures and illegitimacy.
The three developments I have in mind are the anti-government protests that have erupted across Sudan; the turmoil in Kuwait as the emir, the courts and agitated citizens contest which parliament should be in power; and the decision by the Tunisian government to return a former Libyan prime minister to Libya to stand trial.
The Sudanese protests are the least surprising. Sudan has long suffered heavy-handed rule by a regime that has carried out violent attacks against citizens in different parts of the country over several decades, to the point where the president has been indicted by the International Criminal Court and the Southern region of the country seceded peacefully last year. It was only a matter of time before Sudanese citizens started protesting against their government's policies. In due course they will also demand the removal of the regime, in line with the developments in many other Arab countries.
Nor are Sudan's protests surprising because the Sudanese, after the 1950s, had already elected democratic and legitimate governments three times, only to have them overthrown by military dictators; and the Sudanese people were the first to overthrow an autocratic regime through street protests, when they forced the resignation and exile of Jaafar Numeiry in April 1985.
The popular revolt removed that corrupt and dictatorial regime, and the armed forces commander in chief, General Abdul-Rahman Suwar al-Dahab, also made history when he kept his pledge to turn over power to a democratically elected legitimate government a year later. The Tunisian government's decision to extradite Baghdadi Mahmoudi, a former prime minister of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, was a historic marker of changing political relations among Arab countries, peoples and governments.
Arab governments had long engaged in the courtesies of fellow autocrats, ignoring each other's internal repressions and claiming that they could not interfere in other Arab states' domestic affairs (Numeiry was deposed during a stop in Cairo to see Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who gave him asylum). Mahmoudi had fled Libya to Tunisia last September as rebels took control of Tripoli. He is wanted in Libya to stand trial for his role in the Gadhafi regime. Even though the Tunisian president and prime minister disagreed over how the extradition was handled, we now have the important precedent of a democratic Arab country extraditing for trial by his own people a former Arab state official from a former tyrannical regime.
If this trend continues, it will be more difficult for those who participated in the atrocious governance records of previous authoritarian regimes to escape accountability for their complicity in a range of crimes, including corruption, criminal mismanagement, human rights abuses, security services excesses and more.
The third and most interesting development last week continued political dynamics that had been going on for some months in Kuwait, a wealthy country whose citizens are cared for from cradle to grave, but also a country where many Kuwaitis are saying that they do not want to live by bread and material wellbeing alone.
This week several thousand Kuwaitis rallied in a public square to protest the Constitutional Court's declaration that last February's National Assembly elections were "illegal," because the emir had called the elections in the absence of a sitting Cabinet.
The court dissolved the opposition-dominated parliament, and reinstated the previous pro-government parliament. The emir had dissolved the previous parliament amid allegations of corruption among its members. This followed the Cabinet's resignation so that the former prime minister could not be questioned by parliamentarians about alleged bribes paid to pro-government parliamentarians.
This extraordinary battle of wits among the emir, the courts and the parliament brings to a close the legislature elected this year, that had 34 of its 50 seats held by opposition parliamentarians, including 23 Islamists. This is the fourth time the emir has dissolved parliament since 2006, indicating the chronic nature of political tensions between Arab rulers and ruled, even in wealthy Gulf emirates where poverty and disparity among Gulf nationals are not a major issue.

AM/FM Radio Apps
Radio without the transmitters
FM radios can be a source of entertainment for many. Unfortunately, Apple has decided to not include this in any of the iOS devices. Thankfully, there are a few apps that allow you to stream live radio to your iPhone. You will need a data connection, which is not required with a true FM device. We compare the best options in this AppGuide.
Essential Apps
TuneIn Radio Pro
by TuneIn
TuneIn Radio Pro is the clear winner in this category. For $0.99 you get an iPad and iPhone app that provides more features than some of the more expensive alternatives. Included is a collection of over 40,000 stations from all over the world. You can listen to local stations or distant ones. One of the coolest features is the pause/record functionality. You can actually record a song, which is saved into a special recordings tab. Also included is the ability to jump back 15 seconds and even pause the radio. The app will attempt to display the currently playing song or show. This functionality is not always 100 percent accurate. AirPlay is included within the app. Other features include data usage (wi-fi/3G divided), background playback, easy station browsing by name rather than number, and an easy map-based location changer. TuneIn Radio Pro is a must-have app for any radio fan.
Notable Apps
Bose® Internet Radio App
by Bose Corporation
Bose AM/FM App provides a great interface for AM/FM audio streaming. Those that want to listen in on radio stations in different cities have the option. You can even listen in on different countries. The interface as mentioned before is absolutely stunning. AirPlay is also baked right into the app. The app is empowered by the essential radio app TuneIn Radio. There is a bug where sometimes this app will actually play the wrong station. This can happen when Bose doesn't for whatever reason have access to the content. The Bose app basically provides a cleaner interface for those that want it. But, with a lower price point, the true winner is the original TuneIn Radio.
by Clear Channel Management Services, LP
Those looking for a free option should give iHeartRadio a try. There is also a free iPad version of the app available. You will only have access to around 750 stations, which are a part of the Clear Channel Management network. There should be plenty for you to choose from, but it will be far more limited than TuneIn Radio.
by Jeremie Engel Engel
Looking for both an alarm clock and a radio? Well, allRadio might be the app you are looking for. You'll have access to around 8,000 web-based radio stations. The interface is very friendly and truly feels more like an alarm/radio clock than an app focused on radio. This can be a good thing, and for many it may be the best option.
Newfox Radio
by Newfox Media Ltd.
Newfox Radio is another nice option, especially if you are outside of the U.S. or are interested in listening to global radio on your iPhone. Listen to over 60,000 radio stations and podcasts from around the world, powered by Radiotime and SHOUTcast. Use your iPhone's GPS or simply browse to find your local radio stations as well. You get some cool extras, such as news from Reuters, a timer/alarm clock, and the ability to share what station you're listening to with your social networks. You can also view Flickr photos from wherever the station you're listening to is based.
Decent Apps
YouTubeFM: Free Music for YouTube
by James Rees
RadioFM is an interesting option. Your music in this app is pulled from YouTube. That's right: a video service is being used to create a radio app. One benefit from that is you can launch music videos from the songs you are listening to with just a tap. Lyrics are included for many of the songs and the interface is pretty good. You might experience a limit in what content you can actually get. RadioFM is an interesting app that you may want to check out.
iRadio - All radio
by Kreolo.com
Web radio is not exactly the same thing as FM/AM radio, but for many, web radio may be enough. Podcast fans will be glad to hear that podcasts are also included. There are around 45,000 stations included, so you should be able to find what you are looking for. The developers have apparently ripped off the design from TuneIn Radio. In fact, it feels like almost the same app. We would recommend sticking with the original and essential TuneIn Radio.
Internet Radio
Pandora Radio
by Pandora Media, Inc.
If you don't need FM or AM radio stations, and simply want to listen to music, Pandora is a lovely free and universal option. Simply choose a song or an artist you like, and Pandora puts together a play list for you. A paid upgrade allows you to remove the ads and gives you unlimited skips.
SiriusXM Internet Radio
by SIRIUS XM Radio Inc
The app is free, though you must have a paid internet subscription to listen to this satellite radio service. Howard Stern put SiriusXM on the map, and this app now lets you listen to him via your iDevice.
Stitcher Radio
by Stitcher, Inc.
This free, universal app literally lets you stitch together your favorite podcasts and radio programs from around the world. With anything from NPR to Adam Carolla, Stitcher Radio is your best option for spoken word radio.
iPad Version
iheartradio for iPad
by Clear Channel Management Services, LP

Align is still at it with updates to the 700E. Our friends at RCMania have some great detail photos of the updated 700E v2 3GX kit. Click for photos and more information.
From what we can see and translate it looks like the 700E V2 3GX sports a new flybarless head design that clamps to the main shaft, a new removable cnc aluminum battery tray that allows for battery insertion from the rear of the heli, a CNC MOD1 112T helical main gear, an updated tail box and tail pushrod for higher precision control and last but not least the 3GX flybarless system which improves performance and stability while adding features and shrinking the size in comparison to the older 3G unit. Another interesting feature is the ESC tray behind the swashplate which enhances cooling of the ESC. It also appears that Align has added CF reinforced servo linkages between the servo and bell cranks to stiffen response and add strength to the control system. See the pics for detailed shots of the updates.

TO many people Olivia Charamba or simply Mai Charamba is an accomplished gospel singer who has stood by her husband Charles since their formative years in late 1990s. Together they formed a formidable combination and well deservedly earned the name "First Family of Gospel".
However, besides being a singer Mai Charamba is a qualified pastor, a farmer, an ambassador, and above all, a mother.
In an interview with Saturday Lifestyle, Mai Charamba reflected on her multiple roles and a career which spans more than a decade.
The "Africa" singer said enrolling at theological college was aimed at enhancing her music career.
"Actually people don't know that I am an ordained pastor. I have been a pastor since 2004 when I graduated at Living Waters Bible College. Singing is a way of ministering the word of God and gospel musicians should compose meaningful songs. This is why when I compose songs I know what to write," she said.
The gospel diva, however, confessed that she spends more time behind the microphone than on the pulpit. Amai Charamba said she decided to become a pastor because she believed God chose her to minister His word.
"I believe that God prepared me for the job that He gave me as you know I have been ministering through music. So I decided to advance my biblical understanding by learning theology and as we speak I have a diploma in that regard," she said.
Besides having a rather busy schedule on stage, Mai Charamba also finds time to work on her farm on the outskirts of Harare.
"I enjoy farming and we are currently putting good structures on our farm. It is something in us," she said.
Mai Charamba has five children and she says motherwood involves taking care of the family.
"Baba vanofarira kudya huku yechibhoyi nembatatisi (Charles likes to eat road runner chicken and potatoes)," she said.
This week the celebrated gospel couple was appointed Road Safety Ambassadors by the Zimbabwe Traffic Safety Council. Also appointed were football legends George Shaya and David Mandigora and their task is to campaign against drunk driving through song.
Now in her late 30s, Olivia, met the affable Charles in 1995 when she was just an ordinary member of the Apostolic Faith Mission. It is difficult to separate the two musically that is. Following their marriage, Charles who had already established himself as a gospel singer, was impressed by his wife's vocal prowess.
He encouraged her to join the church choir as well as backing him during recordings including live performances. Eventually, Olivia became a singer in her own right.
This culminated in the release of her first album entitled "Amen" in 2000, which was followed by "Daily Bread" in 2002. During her recordings, Charles became her backing vocalist.
Together they have toured overseas as well as several African countries such as Mozambique. The award-winning couple share amazing chemistry on and off the stage.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Wheels Tires
Fox Mustang Five Lug Conversion - Plus One
Four Lugs Come Five, With A Simple Conversion Of A 5.0 Mustangs's Rolling Stock
Take-Off Technology" isn't a new process-not by any stretch-but it's a part of our Mustang world that won't grow old. The process can be both high-tech and, sometimes crudely, low-tech, but it's usually effective either way. It's basically centered on removing-or "passing down," if you will-parts from a newer 'Stang for use as an upgrade on an earlier car. We've all seen this technology in one form or another with performance, appearance, and such. A couple of the more notable examples through the years have been:* Speed Density to Mass Air Conversion* 4.6 Mod-Motor into Fox 'Stang Swap
Upgrading a Fox Mustang's brake system (front discs and rear drums) from four-lugs to five is a do-it-yourself project that's been around a long time. The first iteration of this improvement involved scavenging parts from '83-'92 Ford Rangers and '91-up Lincoln Mark VIIs. Each vehicle had components-such as driver-side axles and five-lug, 9-inch rear drums from the four-banger and 3.0 Ranger, and 11-inch front rotors from the Mark-that made adding a lug simple and relatively inexpensive. The swaps became so popular that Ford Racing Performance Parts (Ford Motorsport at the time) eventually packaged the whole works in two complete systems-front and rear.
Converting to a five-lug setup on a Fox 'Stang has been popular for two reasons. While the percentages of myth and fact on this theory are uncertain, some gearheads say that because of the torque forces generated by high-powered 'Stangs, the additional lug adds strength to the rotors up front and axles in the rear, which is critical in most racing applications. The more popular reason is purely cosmetic. The assortment of available wheels and tires is huge, thanks to the extra lug. The four-lug wheel options are slim for '79-'93 Mustangs. While some aftermarket hoops are OK, the abundance of cool, popular styles is based on the five-lug wheel.
Although our buddy Sal Ybarra (pronounced "Eee-Bar-Rah") is fairly young at 33, he's regarded highly as an "OG"-an authority on all-things Mustang in and around Southern California-and he's one of our valued sources for locating many of the SoCal 'Stangs that are used for our tech articles. Sal also has an uncanny knack for being able to find virgins-that's untouched Fox Mustangs, people!
When we told Sal we needed a Fox that was still rolling on four-luggers for our latest installment of 5.0 Basics, it didn't take him long to find one. The car, which belongs to Sal's brother, Jose, is a clean and totally unmolested '89 coupe. Slapping on a set of five-lug, Bullitt-style wheels was something the brothers had planned to do as an upgrade for the car, so our timing was surprisingly perfect-or so we thought.
We initially thought we'd make this swap by using only used parts, but we weren't able to acquire all the pieces we needed in a timely manner. How does an area socked with a supply of Mustang take-off parts for a five-lug conversion completely dry up? We called Baer Racing and explained our idea and situation to Jackie Lyndon and Ben O'Connor, who were awesome with their assistance. They suggested a five-lug, four-wheel-disc-brake system and got it to us in record time.
Apparently, Baer heard the cries long ago of 'Stangbangers who wanted five lugs and developed the 12-inch Sport systems for the front (PN 4261068; $1,172.22) and the rear (PN 4262063; $1,150) of a Fox. The systems make adding that high-demand lug a simple deal. Baer's conversion systems include drilled and slotted front and rear discs, pin-guided calipers, all of the mounting brackets, brake lines, fittings, bolts, and the master cylinder. Bolts are also available separately (PN 6801123; $14.80). An optional proportioning valve (PN 2000035; $72.17) for adjusting rear-brake bias is recommended. But hitting the wrecking yard or a 'Stang shop for a few additional hard parts is still required. The Baer systems are for '87-'93 cars, but they require '94-'95 front spindles and hubs, and five-lug rear axles from a '94-'98 Mustang.
Sal, who owns Sal's Speed Shop, of San Fernando, California, knows his way around a Fox, so he performed the swap on his brother's ride in the driveway, without needing a twin-post lift or air tools to get it done. This job is definitely DIY-friendly. The system installed in drama-free short order, and we didn't experience any clearance issues or need to use wheel spacers for proper fitment of the 17-inch, '02 Bullitt rollers that now look downright bitchin' underneath Jose's coupe.
Next up are four new tires and a moderate lowering of the body. No doubt, this is one trunk Mustang that will surely turn heads when it's cruising the streets of the San Fernando Valley. The accompanying photos and captions show you how it's done.
Horse Sense: While technically just a small blip on the overall Mustang-racing radar, Sal's Speed Shop definitely has corralled a large number of Southern California Mustang drag racers. Whenever one of Sal Ybarra's Mustang Drag Days is on the schedule, it isn't uncommon for nearly 100 ponies to arrive at Los Angeles County Raceway. Check out www.salsspeedshop.com for more information and dates for upcoming Mustang Drag Days.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (also known as Wild Speed X3: Tokyo Drift (????????X3 TOKYO DRIFT?) in Japan) is a 2006 film directed by Justin Lin and the third installment (chronologically, the fourth) of The Fast and the Furious film series. The film features an all-new cast and a different setting (Tokyo, Japan) from the previous two films. The movie was shot in Tokyo and parts of Los Angeles, the latter often covered with props and lights to create the illusion of the Tokyo style. While Paul Walker is not in the film, Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dominic Toretto in a cameo appearance.
Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), a 17-year-old teenager with a talent for auto mechanics, has led a life of getting into trouble. His mother had to relocate to different cities and states with him every time his problems at school or with the local authorities escalated enough. One day, in Arizona, he gets into a street race against the high school quarterback. Both men crash their cars during the race and are sent to the police station. The incident almost lands Sean in jail, and his mother, deciding not to deal with moving again, sends him to Tokyo, Japan, to live with his father, who is stationed as a U.S. Naval officer. Upon arriving at his father's home in Tokyo, he is warned by his father not to stir up any trouble, or he will return to the U.S. to serve jail time. At his private school, Sean meets Twinkie (Bow Wow), a fellow American, who hustles imported pre-owned goods to their Japanese classmates. That night, Twinkie and his gang bring Sean to a carpark and introduce him to the world of drift racing. Sean soon runs into Takashi (Brian Tee) - also known as DK (short for Drift King) - and his close friend Han Lue (Sung Kang), who was born and raised in America. Sean is seen by Takashi talking to Neela (Nathalie Kelley), Takashi's Australian girlfriend, and when Takashi tells him to stay away, Sean challenges him to a race. Due to Sean's lack of drifting skills, Takashi easily defeats him in his Grey And Black Nissan 350Z, and Sean winds up wrecking Han's Nissan S15 . The next day, Han meets Sean after school and tells Sean that he must work for him to repay the damage done to his car. Sean soon learns that Han is involved in a business partnership with Takashi. Han becomes Sean's friend, and takes him under his wing when he leaves his father's home, teaching him how to drift, and providing him with a Red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX to race with,and some financial support. Han does this because Sean is the only one unafraid of Takashi (calling him Takashi's "kryptonite"). Sean slowly builds a reputation in the drift scene, and befriends Neela, who is also Sean's classmate. Neela reveals that she, like Sean, was also considered a gaijin once, not being native to Japan. She explains that she and Takashi grew up together after her mother died. However, after seeing Sean with Neela and learning of their time spent together, Takashi beats Sean up and warns him to stay away from Neela. Angry after seeing Sean's bruises, Neela leaves Takashi to be with Sean. Takashi's uncle Kamata, a high ranking Yakuza (Sonny Chiba), tells him that there is a discrepancy in the books, and that Han must be cheating them out of money. Takashi confronts Han and his group with this discrepancy, and Han, Sean, and Neela flee before Takashi deals with the money laundering. A car chase ensues through the Tokyo streets with Takashi and his right-hand-man Morimoto pursuing Han, Sean and Neela. During the chase, Han's car is broadsided by a car at an intersection and lands upside-down. As Sean and Neela approach Han's Mazda RX-7, a gasoline leak erupts into a fire, causing the car to explode, killing Han. Sean and Neela return to his father's house when Takashi arrives to take Neela and kill Sean. Before he can do so, Sean's father intervenes. Neela voluntarily goes away with Takashi. As Sean has already caused trouble in Tokyo, his father tells him to pack his bags and leave the country, but Sean begs him to stay so he can clean his mess. Sean meets up with Twinkie, who hands him a bag with the money Han laundered from Kamata. Sean attempts to make amends by appealing to Kamata, returning the money and offering to challenge Takashi to an "honor race", a duel where whoever loses leaves town. The race is on a t?ge (mountain pass) that Takashi has the advantage on, since he's supposedly the only one to ever make it down to the bottom in one piece. Since all of the other cars were confiscated by the police, Sean and his team use the engine, an RB26DETT, from the S15 Silvia Sean had ruined in his first race. Sean, Twinkie, and Han's crew borrow his father's car, a black 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback, and work on it. After transplanting the Nissan engine and doing some upgrades, as well as test runs on the mountains, the old Mustang is fully modified for the race. After a long race battle in the mountains, Sean wins while Takashi survives a last-minute crash. Takashi's loss causes him great humiliation since he still considers Sean to be an "outsider". Kamata tells Sean he is free to go, and Takashi presumably leaves Tokyo. Neela gets back with Sean. Not too long after the race, Sean becomes the new Drift King and is hanging out in the carpark with his crew and Neela. Twinkie comes up to Sean, saying someone who has been defeating racers all over Asia wants to challenge him, to which Sean accepts only after finding out the challenger knew Han. Sean pulls up his Nissan S15 next to a silver Plymouth Road Runner and sees the mystery driver as none other than Dominic Toretto (portrayed by Vin Diesel from the first film). Toretto tells Sean that Han was a close friend of his back in the U.S. and he won the Roadrunner from him. Neela counts off the race and the cars take off around the first corner.

WGN is bringing back Bozo, at least for a little while.
After being alerted to the existence of a rare 1971 recording of "Bozo's Circus," WGN decided to broadcast it as a special called "Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape." WGN's Dean Richards will host the special, which is set to premiere at 7 p.m. Dec. 9 on WGN-TV Chicago and streamed live for viewers outside the Chicago area on wgntv.com.
The Bozo show aired for 40 years on WGN, from 1960 until 2001. Only a few episodes from the show's first two decades have been archived, the network said. No Bozo shows from 1969 to 1974 were thought to have survived exist until recently when one was discovered at the Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection at the University of Georgia in Athens.
While searching for old programs on the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection website, Rick Klein from fuzzymemories.tv found a listing for a 1971 WGN "Bozo's Circus" tape submission, according to a network press release. The tape had been submitted as an entry for the Peabody Awards and had been preserved in the awards archives ever since. Klein contacted WGN, who then contacted Ruta Abolins, director of the Media Archives.
According to the press release, the episode is notable for the following reasons:
WGN-TV will rebroadcast "Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape" at 11 a.m. Christmas Day (with live streaming on wgntv.com), while WGN 9.2 Antenna TV Chicago will rebroadcast it at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 and noon Dec. 23.

Debbie Gibson Artist Bio and Lyrics
Deborah Gibson was born on August 30, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York. Her career started in the mid-1980s and extended out to the 2000's.
Deborah Gibson released her debut album in 1987. The album was titled Out Of the Blue, and rose to number 7 in the Billboard Top 200. The album contained singles such as, "Only in my Dreams," which climbed to number four in the US and number 11 in the UK. "Shake Your Love," also made it to number four in the US.
The album, Out of the Blue also gave Deborah Gibson her first number one hit. The title track rose to number three. The next single, "Foolish Beat," was able to make it to number one.
The last album by Deborah Gibson in the 1980s was in 1989 when she released, Electric Youth. The album stayed at number one for five weeks. It contained one number one single, "Lost in Your Eyes." The album also bore two more tope 20 singles, "Electric Youth," which rested at number 11 and, "No More Rhyme," which made it to number 17.
Deborah Gibson released several more albums in the 1990s, but none of them rivaled her 1980s success. She has since made appearances on TV and formed her own label.

I think those two HOWTOs can be removed entirely. The Resnet HOWTO is
essentially a "How to install and configure DHCP client" HOWTO, and the
PPP one is unusable for its intended target because campus phased out
its modem pool sometime in 2008, I believe.

The human spirit endures—with the help of some giant robots.
In Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro's latest opus, the people of earth are under attack from some interdimensional monsters who think they can just stroll into our living space and make it their own.
The monsters thought wrong. As Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman are going to make abundantly clear. In order to battle these giant menaces, people develop giant robots called Jaegers and load them with a couple of human Jaegermeisters to pilot the hulking metal machines. Catch five things we picked up while checking out the upcoming flick's trailer:
Check out the first glimpse of Pacific Rim!
1. These monsters, called Kaiju, have no respect for private property. Or public property. Basically, all property is toast when these guys show up.

2. While more colorful, the Transformers dudes have nothing on this massive, people-piloted robots—especially when it comes to giving your thighs a really thorough workout.

Memory from A to Z by Yadin Dudai, Oxford University Press, £37.50/$65, ISBN 0198502672
WHEN, back in the 1970s, Yadin Dudai began researching the mechanisms of memory formation - not so long after I did myself - it was a deeply unpromising subject for a molecular biologist to be working on, deemed far too difficult. Today it is one of the hottest topics in neuroscience - and he has been at the forefront of the field throughout.
With geneticist Seymour Benzer, Dudai explored mutations in the fruit fly
But Dudai is not only an ingenious experimenter: he is also that rare bird, an intellectual who ...

North Dakota Dairy Convention scheduled Nov. 3 in MandanMaking producers' voices heard is the theme of the 44th annual North Dakota Dairy Convention scheduled Nov. 3 at the Best Western Seven Seas Inn in Mandan.
Making producers' voices heard is the theme of the 44th annual North Dakota Dairy Convention scheduled Nov. 3 at the Best Western Seven Seas Inn in Mandan.
"This year's event will address the emerging issue of animal welfare, the proposed right-to-farm law for North Dakota, the impact of the European Union's new requirements on milk exported from the U.S., and how you need to embrace activism with your voice for agriculture," says J.W. Schroeder, North Dakota State University Extension Service dairy specialist and a conference coordinator.
Participants also will be able to attend informational sessions on herd health, promoting agriculture, why milk quality is important to producers and consumers, and renovations and innovations in cow comfort.
Sarah Bedgar Wilson is the featured speaker. She and her husband raise corn, wheat, soybeans, edible beans and field peas near Jamestown.
She was part of the fifth generation to grow up on her family's diversified farm in Maryland, which, through the years, has included dairy, beef, swine, egg, hay, crop, vegetable and fruit production. She also was an avid 4-H and FFA member.
Wilson earned a Bachelor of Science in animal science from the University of Maryland and completed six internships, from a ranch in Texas to a dairy farm in France.
She completed a master's degree in animal sciences at North Dakota State University and helped found the NDSU Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter.
The convention also will include a trade show, the Milk Producers Association of North Dakota's annual meeting and a banquet. The Milky Way Award, Merit Award and Award of Dairy Excellence will be presented during the banquet.
Registration for the conference is at the door. For more information, contact Schroeder at (701) 231-7663 or email@example.com, or visit http://tinyurl.com/dairyconvention.

curing times????
Hi there all
Can anyone let me know if it is incorrect to base coat stucco on the same day as the day I have finished the outer insulation (vermic and concrete which has just covered the two layers of insulation blanket), I guess after a 12 month build and the fact that I can see the first firing soon I am getting a little excited. there really is a lot to a pompeii oven. Cheers Kris
Re: curing times????
I don't see a problem with that. It might even be better to have everything meld together as it sets.
Re: curing times????
1 Attachment(s)
Have just completed my first stucco scratch layer. Do I have to wait until I have completed that final stucco layer before start the firing??????
Re: curing times????
Given the large amount of water in the vermicrete layer, I think it is better to do the drying fires before the stucco. That waybthebwatervcan escape more easily. If you stucco over wet vermicrete you are holding the water in. Remember that one litre of water makes 1000 liters of steam. That steam can easily crack the outer shell as it expands. If there is no outer shell there when you do the drying fires then you can't crack it.
100 litres vermicrete will take about 30 litres water which equals 30,000 litres of steam.

Floating device for donor corneas in organ culture
Aim: To introduce a new floating device for donor corneas to avoid accumulation of debris onto the endothelial surface during organ culture and to facilitate handling of the tissue during preservation and surgery. Methods: From 11 donors, one randomly chosen cornea was stored in organ culture attached to a floating device, while the contralateral cornea was attached to the lid of the phial by a suture ("hanging by suture"). Endothelial cell density (ECD) was evaluated prior to tissue storage and after 2-3 weeks of culture. Furthermore, we compared ECD in a larger group of corneas sent off for transplantation with the device (n = 281) to a historical group of control corneas "hanging by suture" (n = 444). Results: There was no significant difference in ECD between corneas attached to the floating device or "hanging by suture" (n = 11; p≥0.1). Similarly, no different ECDs were observed between corneas sent off for transplantation with the device (n = 281) and the historical group of control corneas "hanging by suture" (n = 444) (p≥0.1). Conclusion: The use of the floating device may not affect tissue quality. Since its introduction, the use of the device has been uneventful and greatly facilitated tissue handling.

A few days back, Ashwini Narayan, a very cute reader wrote to us about a shopping query. Like all women, she was facing a common problem -- choosing the right pair of shoes. She wanted to buy 2 pairs of shoes from a choice 8 pairs. A complete shoe buff, Ashwini was looking for a long-term buy "that I can get a lot of mileage from." She describes herself as an "eclectic and a bit bohemian, but definitely not clean classic."
First pair: This pair is a beautiful blend of comfort and funky. It's comfortable and the quality seems good too. But at the same time reminded us of the black shoes Ashwini already has. (See Image 2)
Second Pair: We aren't a big fan of this one. The quality of seems low; the transparent heel doesn't do much. Overall we wouldn't pick this one.
Third Pair: Black & white brogue pumps stole our heart till we saw the buckle. But we can still ignore the buckle, because we both love brogues. Nothing is hotter than brogues with heels.
Fourth pair: Gold brogues are beautiful. In fact, Sonu has similar ones in the pink from Aldo. Love the tan gold colour and they are super comfortable (speaking with experience).
Fifth pair: Snakeskin pumps are an absolute necessity in a woman's wardrobe. Versatile and timeless, they are a must-have.
Sixth Pair: The white heels are pretty, but avoidable with the Bombay roads and potholes. Our funda is jazz up your attire with bright accessories.
Seventh Pair: Red pumps are a classic. Wear them to a disc or to a dinner. They will take you to all these places adding that spunk to your attire.
Eighth Pair: Depending on your shoe size, one should pick up these peeptoed shoes. A small-sized foot will not do justice to a peeptoed shoes.
We chose:
Choice 1: Go Nude
The golden brogues or the snakeskin nude pumps. Ashwini had no flats from what we saw (the three pairs). The golden brougues can be worn with a skirt or shorts. They'll look young and eclectic at the same time. Let's not forget how comfortable they are. You can go shopping in them or go for brunch with your girls.
Whereas, the nude snakeskin nude pumps are extremely versatile piece in your wardrobe. It's the ultimate leg-lengthening weapon and will match everything in your closet, more than white and black. Shop for a style that matches your skin tone.
Choice 2: Go Red
Since Ashwini didn't have much colour in her shoe wardrobe, we suggested her to pick either of the two red-coloured shoes. Red shoes are bold, passionate, strong, intense and sexy. Womens red shoes come in all styles to accommodate your mood and fashion statement.
We'd love to answer your questions as well! If any of you have any styling queriers or shopping questions, do email us firstname.lastname@example.com

DES MOINES, Iowa - Scratch Gov. Terry Branstad's name off the list of possible Iowa politicians who might be interested in replacing retiring Iowa U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, but keep Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds' name at least in pencil for the time being.
Harkin reshuffled Iowa's political deck last weekend when the veteran Democrat announced that he intended to retire in 2014 rather than run for re-election, marking the end of a 40-year career at the nation's Capitol. The surprise development opened the door in both political parties to a rare open U.S. Senate seat and touched off speculation about possible candidates – but Branstad quickly closed the door on any talk of him seeking a move from Des Moines to Washington, D.C.
"In my case, I love this state. I came back to run for governor because I think I can make a real difference in this position," Branstad told reporters at his weekly news conference Monday. "Over the years, I have been encouraged to run for the Senate a number of times and I've always said 'I'd love to run, but I don't want to serve.' I don't want to go to Washington, D.C., I don't want to spend time there. I don't mind visiting the place, but I love this state and I don't want to spend six years in Washington, D.C."
For her part, Reynolds said she was flattered to see her name included as possible 2014 senatorial candidates, admitted that she has received encouragement from supporters and indicated she is keeping her options open. But, at the same time, she insisted that her main focus is on getting the Branstad administration's 2013 proposals to provide property tax relief and reform education approved by the Legislature this session.
"I'm focused on taking Iowa to the next level. That, honestly, is where my focus will be," Reynolds told reporters.
"It's 2013. Let's get these great things done; let's show D.C. how it's done in Iowa, and then we'll look at 2014."
Harkin, who is 73, has been in the U.S. Senate since 1985 and the U.S. Congress since 1975.
While Harkin's departure raises the political stakes in Iowa's 2014 general election, Branstad said it is important for Iowa elected officials in Des Moines and Washington to keep the focus on the immediate challenges facing the state and the nation.
"I think it would be a mistake, just because he's made an early decision not to seek re-election, to all of a sudden shift to the politics of 2014," the five-term GOP governor said. "We have important policy decisions at both the state and national level to be decided in this year 2013."
Branstad thanked Harkin for his long service to the people of Iowa and applauded his accomplishments on behalf of disabled Americans and his support for agriculture, renewable energy and other issues important to the nation during his four decades in Washington.

Sergeant Jamjars is the brother of Bottles the Mole and the main teacher of techniques in the Nintendo 64 game, Banjo-Tooie.Jamjars hides in molehills until Banjo and Kazooie approach him with the proper note requirement to earn the new technique. By collecting enough notes, Jamjars will leap out of his molehill and in a patriotic chant, will briefly explain the function of the new technique before leaping back into his molehill (sometimes missing and crash-landing down to earth). By contacting Jamjars after he has already chanted the technique, Jamjars will explain the ability in more detail without the song.Jamjars also owns silos that can be used as warp points throughout Isle O' Hags.Similar to Kazooie, Jamjars has a sharp tongue and constantly picks fights with the feathered fighter. Despite his brother's early demise, Jamjars is focused on the task at hand and isn't one to mourn over past defeats. Although he did not appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts in person, Jamjars' voice can be heard on the radio during the intro sequence.

Lollipop Mouse Valentines
Activity DesignerTina Pearson
69 Projects
We love making homemade valentines for Valentine's Day! The kids always have so much fun coming up with a creative craft and making something special for family and friends. We loved these little mice because they were made using things we already had at home and they use my son's absolute favorite candy - lollipops!
What You'll Need
- tape
- lollipops
- heart stencil - optional
How We Did It
Gather all materials. We used some heart scrapbook paper for Valentine's Day in addition to some pink, purple, and pastel colors. We also found that the small Dum Dum lollipops worked best for this.
Using a large heart shaped cookie cutter and a small wooden heart, my son traced one large heart for the mouse body and two small hearts for the ears for each valentine. Tracing is great fine motor skill practice for younger kids and a great pre-writing activity!
Without a heart stencil, I found that I could freehand large and small hearts by folding the paper in half and drawing half a heart along the folded edge. I made a few of these for templates for the older kids to use.
Once all the hearts were traced, we carefully cut out each of the hearts and matched up which patterns and colors we wanted for each mouse.
The kids helped me fold each of the large hearts in half and we wrote "mouse" themed valentine messages on one side of the heart. We included things like "You make my heart SQUEAK" and "It might sound 'cheesy' but I love you".
Once all messages were written, we taped the lollipop inside the heart so that the stick would show from the rounded part of the heart when it was folded in half. They made such cute mice tails!
Then, the kids put a line of glue along the edge of one side of the heart and wrapped the heart around the lollipop to form the mouse's body. They pinched the bottom part of the heart and held it closed where the nose of the mouse would be. We had to hold them closed for a count of 10 to make sure the hearts stayed closed.
We folded each of the small hearts in half and glued one half of each heart to a different side of the mouse body so that the ears looked 3D. Then, the kids glued googly eyes to each side of the mouse.

Ok, what I want to talk about is the assualt that Kos did. He kept taunting the medic about his profession, then when the medic talks back, Kos threatens to attack him, then does physically assault the man. If I were that guy (a non-fighter), I'd have pulled out my cell phone, dialed 911, and had Kos arrested then and there and pressed charges; and then I'd try and take his money civil court.
From the looks of the show, it doesn't look like anything has come of it; but Kos is NOT very smart for attacking someone, especially a non-fighter, outside of the octagon. And it's even worse that he's a professional fighter that's been in the UFC for a good long time now; I wonder if Dana chewed him out for it. Kos really did play with fire there; he could have lost his job over that assault. That was a very very very dumb move.
Edit: Not-to-mention that Kos should know better considering Paul Daley assaulted him after their fight, considering the fight was clearly over; and Daley lost his job for it.

Man trapped as car collides head-on with lorry, closing A38 at Glynn Valley
Posted: September 18, 2012|
2pm UPDATE:
The A38 has now re-opened but there is slow moving traffic on both directions while the backlog clears.
Emergency services are currently battling to free a man trapped in a car which collided with a lorry on the A38 this morning.
The A38 at Glynn Valley is currently closed in both directions after a silver Peugeot apparently veered into oncoming traffic half a mile south of Trago Mills and collided head-on with a lorry in the other lane.
The incident, which happened just before 11.30am, is described as 'non life-threatening or life-changing at this time'. The lorry sustained some damage but the driver is said to be unhurt.
The A38 is closed between the A390 at Doballs and the A30 Carminow Cross. Traffic has built up considerably in both directions as a result.
More as we have it.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I guess I don't really think of a lot of Vim features I use as anything
special since my "wow"-ness with most of the features I use have passed
and have become a part of my everyday life.
Since I mentioned vsplit, I should mention that Vim can show you the diff
between two files using its vsplit function. Vim can show you the diff
between two files side-by-side, and use its syntax highlighting to show
you which part of the lines are different. To run it:
vim -d file1 file2 [file3...]
And the two files will open side-by-side, and the diff between the files
will be hilighted. You can move between the two files and edit parts of
the file you want changed/updated/etc. Instead of typing -d, you can also
symlink "vimdiff" to "vim" (or gvimdiff, if you want the graphical
version) to make it run in diff mode automatically.
Another Vim feature I use, which I think is just the awesomest thing I've
never seen anybody else use, is the HTML conversion. You can open a file
under gvim (but not vim), turn on the syntax highlighting, and generate an
HTML version of the file with syntax highlights from the menu item
[Syntax] -> [Convert to HTML]. It then splits the window with the HTML
code, which you can save to a file. I've used this in all my
presentations so I don't have to manually generate syntax-highlighted
sourcode on slides. This works only under gvim, not vim, for some reason;
it might be some GTK feature Vim needs to generate the HTML.
More and more features: I prefer gvim over vim because it plays nicer with
X and colors are better and the menu is sometimes useful and all that good
stuff. You can copy a highlighted (Ctrl-v) text to the X buffer by
copying the data to the "*" buffer, so you can paste it into another app
via the middle mouse button. I think this works only under gvim, though:
"*y - yanks a line into the * buffer
It's useful mostly if you have a really really large data you don't wanna
copy via the mouse.

A test for
calcium in urine is a 24-hour test that checks the
amount of calcium that is passed from the body.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Test results may be affected by the amount of calcium in the
milligrams (mg)/24-hour sample or 1.25–3.75 millimoles (mmol) per day
mg/24-hour sample or 2.5–7.5 mmol per day
mg/24-hour sample or 6.2–7.5 mmol per day
High values of calcium in the urine may be caused by:
In some cases, calcium
in the urine may be high for other reasons. One example of this is idiopathic
familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.
