Course Description
Ulcers, though common in the mouth, are difficult to diagnose and treat. Oral ulcers can present alone or in multiples; they can be round and well defined with pseudo membrane in the center, or they can be irregular and feature generalized sloughing. Dental practitioners are familiar with the problem of having patients with sloughing epithelial disease or chronic recurring ulcers that do not respond well to numerous treatments. There is no simple solution to this problem. Nevertheless, this course aims to systematically analyze what we know about oral ulcers and sloughing epithelium with the goal of unpacking possible etiologies. The course will cover chronic immune diseases such as lichen planus, lichenoid mucositis, mucous membrane pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris. It will also examine contact hypersensitivity reactions, especially to restorative dental material and to cinnamon. Blistering viral diseases such as those in the herpes simplex family and coxsacki family will be covered, as well as nutritional and oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Vitamin B and iron deficiency will be discussed as possible causes of these conditions. The course will also discuss a number of systemic diseases that can present, sometimes at first presentation, with oral superficial ulcers—including Crohn's disease and Behcet's disease.
Course Objectives
As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:
- Develop an applied differential diagnosis for multiple oral ulcers and sloughing epithelium
- Identify chronic immune diseases affecting the mouth
- Recognize the oral manifestations of systemic diseases such as Crohn's disease
- Assess blistering viral infections of the mouth
- Determine the role of Immunofluorescence in diagnosing chronic immune diseases
- Evaluate the role of restorative material in causing generalized oral ulcers
- Consider the role of vitamin B and iron in the growth and development of oral epithelium

I feel so negligent in my blogging duties!
Writing for this popular press has been quite the crash course; and, taken with my previous publishing experience with an academic press, I find some benefits to both. Both might do well to adopt some of the tactics of the other. I kinda wish both would not treat the author like the intellectual equivalent of the field hand; but then, they probably wish the writers realized that they are the content providers and not the whole show.
Ultimately, everyone involved is trying to make a product. Even we writers see the book as the product of our research and writing activities and want people to buy and read the thing so that maybe someone will let us write another (or so that we can prove that we are able to do it and never again have to write another, it all depends upon who you talk to!)
Academic publishers realize the main audience for the books that they publish will be read critically, possibly by only a small group of people who specialize in facet of the book being published. So, they do everything that they can to make sure that the writer's work has been read by experts in that particular field. They make sure that all of the citations are complete, consistent, and accurate, and that everything being said in the book makes sense. These will be things that reviewers and readers will check. These are the things that make the book a serious contribution to the author's field. The academic press, then, is interested in the quality of the content because that quality will sell the books that they publish.
The popular press, or at least what I'm calling the "tourist press" (again, because that is the market -- and you know you've seen these books in the museum stores or in the "local history" sections of book stores in tourist towns), is much more interested in selling the book to anyone and everyone. So, they want the book to look good and they would like it to have a nice, uncomplicated narrative that will appeal to people with at least a passing interest in the subject.(I am also waiting to be told that I was too critical of the town in the last chapter because I, at long last, raised class issues and gave a little too much credence to an unpopular ethnic group's position on an issue that still raises hackles.)
They do not ensure that the book will be read by experts before they publish it, beyond having them "skim it to give us a good quote for the back." They don't insist upon citations, and actually discourage them because their audience couldn't care less about citations beyond "Further Reading" suggestions. The author, realizing that their citations are unwelcome and will cut into their word count, just doesn't include them. The publisher, interested in getting the book on the shelves as soon as possible, doesn't do much in the way of proofing the content. So, when the book reaches the shelves, the quality is, literally, questionable.
On the other hand, I like that this little tourist press works its butt off to make sure that the book sells as widely as possible. They want to put the damn thing in hotels, restaurants, all of the tchotcke stores, at all of the tourist traps, at all of the tourist attractions, at anywhere a tourist might stop for a snack or a bathroom break, everywhere for 100 miles around the actual town. They also want booths at academic conferences. They want it to sell way more than I do; and I'm the one with my name on the book and the one who need the royalties to offset the cost of the damn illustrations! That impresses me.
Academic presses, are good at selling to academic markets. They go the very tried, true and respected routes, in trade publications and at conferences. I'm not knocking conferences, mind you! One of the best moments of my life was having my book featured by my press at a big conference in my home town, where I went to graduate school. All my old grad school buddies were there. They thought they were going to have to get a forklift to carry my head out of the hotel.
I digress. My point is that I wish that academic presses had the ability to sell to a broader market than academics. Not that I want the academic book to be in hotels and restaurants and all of that; but it would be nice to go into Barnes and Noble and see a copy on their shelves, or to go into a bookstore in the state where it took place and see it in their "local interest section," or to go into a museum in the state where it took place and see it in the gift shop.
Ideally, the perfect topic will straddle both of these worlds, and the material and the author's abilities will rise above the limits of either type of publisher. I'm not sure that is me. My tourist book could be much better and much more scholarly; but it should also have a regional focus not limited to this little town that is really not a town if it were to fall into that dual category of popular and academic. Meanwhile, I write for one, or I write for the other, and I bitch about their shortcomings and enjoy their benefits.
Also, I see an implicit question here: Why did I bother, with all of my bitching, to write this book? I even had one friend who wondered why I didn't break the contract. The last, well, I just couldn't do. I'd rather kiss my brother, with tongue -- squick! -- as break a contract! Well, I both started and finished the book -- in less than a year, which should give some idea of the quality -- because I wanted to salvage the last few years of my life, particularly last year. This book would be a way to literally have something to show for the time that I essentially wasted in that place. I suppose it is a souvenir of my time there, and I loves me some souvenirs!

One day, eventually, after they have sapped all life out of you, forced you to gain 10 lbs or more, trashed all of your relationships with friends, loved ones, and otherwise, and possibly given you an ulcer, they do end. Then the reviews come in. Then you decide that you never ever want to write again, and that a career painting houses might be much more satisfying, until that one little idea infects you and you find yourself entering another state of doom. They are kind of like relationships in that way.
By the way, thank you for stopping by. Your own blog is always so amusing and thoughtful!

So, what I'm wondering is what the big hackle-raising town trauma is and how it ends up in a tourist book. Now, I'm going to have to go out and buy it and I don't even which town!
The chances of buying are high, unlike purchasing an academic book, which are nil.

Constructing US Foreign Policy
The Curious Case of Cuba
By David Bernell
Routledge – 2011 – 200 pages
Routledge – 2011 – 200 pages
This book seeks to address the roots of the hostility that has characterized the United States' relationship with Cuba and has persisted for decades, long after the Cold War. It answers the question of why America's Cold War era policy toward Cuba has not substantially changed, despite a radically changed international environment, going beyond the common explanation that American electoral politics and the Cuban lobby drive US policy toward Cuba.
Bernell argues that US foreign policy towards Cuba cannot be viewed as an objective response to a set of challenges to US interests and principles, and is better understood as a policy that is rooted in and informed by historical understandings of American and Cuban identities, which are themselves historically contingent. Examining a wide range of sources including government documentation and official speeches, this work explores the origins and perpetuation of a policy perspective that emphasizes Cuban difference, illegitimacy, and inferiority juxtaposed against American virtue, legitimacy, and superiority.
This work will be of great interest to all scholars of US foreign policy, International Relations, and Latin American politics.
1. Introduction 2. Imagining Latin America and Cuba 3. Constructing Reagan's Castro 4. Waiting for Fidel 5. Conclusion
David Bernell is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Oregon State University, where he teaches and conducts research in international relations, United States foreign policy, and international political economy. He is the author of Readings in American Foreign Policy: Historical and Contemporary Problems (2008), and also consults for the renewable energy firm, Think Energy, Inc.

I was delighted to see the article 'American biology student sues over dissection' (This Week, 9 June). It is urgently important that educational institutions practise and instil humane values. A growing number of American students are refusing to harm animals in the course of their formal education. The article, however, contained several errors. In reporting that medical students at the University of California at Davis sued the school over dog surgery, the author confused two separate cases.
The first case involved two University of Pennsylvania veterinary medical students. I was one of these students. In 1986, a classmate and I requested alternatives to several survival surgery laboratories involving the killing of two healthy dogs. We did not ask to be exempted from surgery, only from using and destroying healthy animals.
After we were failed for refusing to participate in the course, we filed a lawsuit to prevent the school from ...

GP and neduro - as others have stated, bang on for undertaking this project, should be a joy even just to read, let alone when you roll the bikes out for their maiden shake down rides
. Good luck guys!!!
i travel on a 525exc dualsport extensively, two week long off road trips etc. Some observations:
Headshake with the stock 20's at speed. Hopefully carrying that much gas and equipment up front will offset some of the issue. i ended up going with 17 degree's for a much calmer ride at higher speeds. i assume you'll aalso be mounting a Scotts.
Front brakes: The stockers are marginal for high speed work, the added issue more importantly is the bloody master cylinder allowing air into the system over time. Some people seem not to have an issue. Mine has needed bleeding on multi day rides. Inexcuseable in my eyes. I'm now using a CRF master cylinder, not any more powerful but much more reliable. No more air has gotten into the system. Great mod. One thing that may interest you gents is i also run the bike in Motard trim with a KTM motard caliper and Radial master Cylinder. Now my friends this is some stopping power!!! You can lock the front tire up at 100 MPH its soooo sttrong. Very linear and progressive feel to it. Would love this mod on your 525 that will be gaining some wieght. Only issue is the Radial mount master has a remote resoviour that is a bit vulnerable for off road usage. Though mine has survived a tumble into the tire barricade at the Go - kart track.
Valve train - Installed Stainless Steel valves to help increase my valve adjustment interval. So far, once bedded in no adjustments needed in 3,000 miles. With only 3,000 miles its not enough to claim them as the Holy Grail but i'm hoping for the best. Leave on a 3 country (Thailand, laos, Cambodia) off road ride in a few weeks so will report back my findings.
Oil capacity- I have used the HT cooler with no issues but you gents may want an even larger capacity. Should not be impossible to machine a larger capacity resoviour.
Overall a great base bike to make what you guys are doing to "roll your own".
I'm pulling up a seat to watch your build unroll and learn from your discoveries. let the good times roll and best of luck with the build.

Poor Peoples Campaign fights racism and Whirlpool in Michigan
Kelly Benjamin
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
As WMNF reported last week, The Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign is in the midst of a 12-week, 24-city march. The march begins in the Mississippi Delta and ends in Detroit, where the US Social Forum begins next week. A contingent of homeless from the Tampa Bay area is with the march, which is now making its way across Michigan. WMNF's Kelly Benjamin is travelling with the group and brings us this report from Benton Harbor.
The town of Benton Harbor in South East Michigan has seen better days.
"Whirlpool! Don't take our jobs! Whirlpool! Don't take our jobs!"
Once a major manufacturing center for Whirlpool appliances, the town of just over 11,000 people lost over 5,000 jobs in the 1980s and has suffered from post-industrial white flight and continued economic atrophy throughout the past two decades. According to census information, over 92% of the population is African American and over 40% live below the poverty line. Compare this to Benton Haborâs sister city of St. Joseph just across the river, an affluent middle-class resort community that is over 90% white, and a stark contrast begins to emerge.
Rev. Edward Pinkney is leader of the Black Autonomy Network Community Organization and well known local activist who became famous for his daily protests against racism and job losses in Benton Harbor.
âHere in the city of Benton Harbor racism is out of control.â
Reverend Pinckneyâs struggle with racism in Benton Harbor is what attracted Cheri Honkala, director of the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign to make the town a stop on its cross country march.
Several dozen poor and homeless people who arrived with the Poor Peoples march joined Rev. Pinkney in staging a protest outside the Whirlpool Corporate headquarters in Benton Harbor after they announced they were cutting another 200 jobs and closing a downtown plant.
âWhirlpool stop the outsourcing!â
Harbor Shores is a project funded by the Whirlpool Corporation to develop a Jack Nicklaus-designed $500 million luxury golf course and country club on the shore of Lake Michigan at the last remaining public waterfront in Benton Harbor. Rev. Pickney, along with local activists and environmentalists, have opposed the park on the basis that its a corporate land grab that will only benefit the wealthy. However, some local residents, including Jaffrey Bartlett, feel that itâs better than nothing.
Cheri Honkala, whose been traveling the country with the Poor Peopleâs Economic Human Rights Campaign sees the situation in Benton Harbor as just another example of a community that has pushed aside the rights of poor people.
Please tune in next week for more of Kelly Benjamin's reports from the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign March as they make their way to Detroit, Michigan for the the US Social Forum.comments powered by Disqus
Commentshard working American
Whirpool is a racist facist corp. I live in the community of St. Joseph(formally from Benton Harbor) and can say that Whirlpool only supports those from other parts of the world. Not here. They are closing the last manufacturing plant here. I know someone first hand who is out of a job after 20 years ans instead od severence pay, they offered him a front load washer. Not a washer and dryer...just a washer. My daughter works at the call center and is in constant fear of losing her job. Even after seeing a white superviser puting a letter on a black workers desk entitled "How you know you live in Benton Harbor". This is a horrible corp. Research the products that you buy.

Curriculum is to be biblically-based and pre-approved by the Leadership Team. Co-op classes are provided to enhance, not take the place of instruction in the home. While our class teachers are encouraged to give student feedback concerning classroom participation and assignments, it is the parent's responsibility to determine the final grade after factoring in
the work that has been done at home. It is not our job to place the responsibility for the success or failure in any given subject on the shoulders of our volunteers. They are sharing their talents in order to build on what is being learned at home.
Special Note to Class Teachers: You are responsible for cleaning your classroom(s). Please leave the rooms the way you found them or better. We would like to be a blessing to the church, not a burden. If you get out tables or chairs, please put them away. If you need the A/V equipment moved from one room to another, please contact the Administrator and they will make sure the equipment is moved to where it is needed. If your students make a mess in the room or get crayon and marker on the tables, clean it. White boards must be completely cleaned before you leave.
Classroom Helpers: If teachers need a Classroom Helper on a regular basis, please contact the Leadership team and we will try to find volunteers.
Q: How long are class times?
A: Classes are generally 30, 45, 60 or 75 minutes long, depending on the type of class being taught.
Q: What is the class size?
A: Most rooms can comfortably hold 12-15 students. Classes range in size from 3 to 15, with the exception of gym or drama classes, with our average class size being approx. 5 to 8 students.
Q: Are the teachers certified?
A: Some are, most aren't. Members of our group coach the various classes. Each mom organizing a class does so because she enjoys the subject, wishes to introduce her own children to the subject, and/or has graciously volunteered to share her abilities with others. We would not have a co-op without moms who willingly share their time & talents.
CHECCS members are class coaches. Co-op classes are to enhance, not to take the place of what is being taught in the home school.
Q: How many credits should my high school student receive for a co-op class?
A: There will be no class credits issued by a CHECCS Co-op Class Coach. The parent, as the home educator, determines the credits earned by their student. As a general rule of thumb, a credit is defined as ~135 hours a year, (45 minutes/5days a week/180 school days). (Some say 120 to 150 hours.) Only you know how much time and effort is put into a class and what work is completed outside of class time. Therefore, only you can issue a credit to your own child for a particular class.
Q: Will a transcript be kept for me?
A: No, you must keep your own student's transcript or find an assessor who will, usually this is available for a fee.
Q: Will tests be given in the classes? Will projects, homework, etc. be graded by the teacher?
A: Some of the upper level classes may have tests or quizzes, but the parent can opt out of this by talking to the coach. If you purchase testing papers that go along with the curriculum used, you may give the test at home and ask if the coach can score it for you. A coach may offer comments on projects and homework, and even assign a grade to them. The fact remains that you are your child's teacher. Only you know the grading scale you use for your school and only you know the amount of time and effort your student has put into a class, so you are the only one who can assign a true grade for your child.

City Seeks Volunteers for Feb. 14-15 Swim Meet at Rumsey Aquatic Center
By the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation
(submitted by Sharon Cochran, 1300 block, Emerald St. NE)
From http://dpr.dc.gov/index.asp
DC Parks and Recreation needs your help! The department is preparing to host young swimmers from all over the nation for the 18th Annual Black History Invitational Swim Meet. The event will take place on February 14-15 at the William H. Rumsey Senior Aquatic Center (formerly known as Capitol East Natatorium), located at 635 North Carolina Ave., SE.
Teams will compete on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Volunteers are needed to measure swim times during events; provide winners in each event with heat ribbons; direct spectators to seats, refreshment booths, restrooms and other areas; register volunteers and delegate assignments; and shuttle teams to and from the hotel and aquatic center. Volunteer timers are required to attend two hours of training prior to the event, and drivers must be certified DPR volunteers with a valid government driving permits.
Thirty-five teams from 33 US cities will meet to compete in the event. The annual meet provides urban youth with national exposure to organized and professional competition, a positive outlet for self-expression, an opportunity to achieve personal and athletic excellence and a chance to visit the nation's capital.
This event would not be possible each year without the help of its volunteers. Those who assist will enjoy the unique opportunity of serving as role models to the youth. For more information, please contact Gail Benjamin, DPR Volunteer Coordinator, at 282-0758. §

The Boy Mechanic Saves the World
One Project at a Time: 252 Earth-friendly Projects and Tips
written by Popular Mechanics Ed.
Hearst Communications | ISBN 9781588167729
Paperback – 216 pages
Member's price: $13.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
The latest captivating title in the popular "Boy Mechanic" series returns to a simpler time when recycling, repurposing and 'repair, not replace,' were a part of everyday life. Back then, no one spoke about 'going green' - they just did it as a matter of course. "The Boy Mechanic Saves the World" (One Project at a Time) comes from that era and it presents eco-friendly, thrifty and really cool activities. From turning ketchup bottles into nifty soap dispensers and building a window greenhouse for plants to making a power-generating windmill, it features useful shortcuts for conserving our resources.

Tallinn Card
Cruise Tallinn
This historic, harbour city has long been a popular stop for Northern European sea fearers, now hosting around 300 cruise ships each year. The reason is no mystery. Tallinn has a lot going for it – its Medieval, UNESCO listed Old Town, free WI-Fi equipped, cosy cafés, high-quality, elegant restaurants and plenty of shopping opportunities.
The city is thrilling enough to explore for days, yet also small and compact to give you the full Tallinn experience in a few hours and why not just on foot on the cobblestone streets! It takes just 15 minutes to walk from the harbour to the Old Town and another 15 min to reach the Town Hall Square at the centre of the Medieval hub.
If culture, sights and museums are your particular passion consider getting a wallet friendly help in the form of a Tallinn Card. Tallinn Card is all in one city card offering free entry to most of Tallinn's museums and sights along with excursions and public transport. The city card's benefits start right from the port and take you to most must see sights and museums for free.
With majority of the cruises calling during the summer season the passengers are treated with full on cultural events that flood the city's streets as soon as the weather warms up. Winter cruises are equally lucky to experience the magical white season with charming Christmas Market on the Town Hall Square and wintry events. To keep up with all the latest trends and fashionable happenings follow the news feed or cultural highlights.

Theft protection urged as kids head to college
PHOENIX -- College students will be taking everything they own to school in the next few days and criminals will be looking to take everything those students own.
It's not uncommon for students to have $10,000 worth of property or more in the dorm room or new apartment -- a goldmine for thieves.
John Kennedy with Allstate in Mesa said about seven of every ten claims he sees from college students involve theft and suggests students buy renter's insurance. It offers protection and won't break the bank.
"I think sometimes students overlook just how expensive their stuff is. The students bring a lot of big ticket items with them: Smartphones, laptops, bikes, backpacks, furniture, just to name a few items. Renters insurance runs about $15 per month and will cover $15,000 to 20,000 of their property."
Kennedy said bundling insurance with a car policy will drop the renters insurance cost to next to nothing. Another reason for students to have renters insurance is it would give them living expenses in case of a fire or vandalism at their apartment and it's unlivable.
Kennedy said students under 26 living on campus may be covered under their parents' homeowners policy but they will need to make sure to check with the agent.

Friday Fargo Fun
I've got a heck of a few weeks coming up. Between work, play, and conferences these next 13 days or so will be nuts.
Today I'm riding my bike. I'm testing set ups for a tour out west this fall. I've got 25 miles in so far, and I'm hoping for another 100 or so. I'm headed to Lebanon Hills, and possibly Murphy to check out the bike loaded on single track. It should be a heck of a day.
Have a good one folks.

New Logos!
We've been hard at work getting new logos going for a while now. Here's what we've come up with. These will be featured on pint glasses, shop t shirts, and eventually jersey's and shorts. T shirts and smaller items will begin arriving next week in a few colors and designs. Jerseys will be a bit longer, and I'll have more info on those soon. We're really excited to finally get these projects going. I hope you like them!
As far as I'm concerned these can't come quick enough. It'll be great!

Big Dummy Weekend
I've had a great weekend so far cruising around on the Big Dummy. Meg and I are redoing some things in our bathroom, namely paint and a new vanity. Since Menard's is a whopping 1.5 mile from our house, a quick BD run had everything we needed easily carried. We even had a nice picnic along the river on the way home.
Fast forward to today, with exceptionally nice weather again, and I spent the early morning just cruising around town. It was cool enough that a light jacket and long sleeves were quite comfy, a first in a very long time. It felt great!
After the scorching heat of the last few weeks this cool weather is a welcome change, and a harbinger of great fall weather to come. I, for one, gladly welcome the return of fall weather. Fall is hands down my favorite time of year. I'm ready.

Friday AM Gravel
Got out this morning for around 20 miles of gravel. We met some of the Salsa crew and friends in Farmington, and rode through foggy roads into Umore Park. The feel of the fog was really awesome. Everyone had water droplets collection on their cables and frames before too long.
The roads were in great shape. With recent rain keeping the dust down, the surfaces were dead smooth and quite fast.
I want this bike. Gnat's 2013 Ti Fargo with XT drivetrain and Whiskey Carbon fork. Super good looking, lightweight, and smooth as hell.
I also want this bike. E-Fred rocking his Ti Warbird at speed. Sweet bike.
Nothing like a little Umore offroad to start a great Friday. Thanks to the guys for a great morning!

Toe The Line
Apologies for missing a day of my blog. I got paid. Dyed my mother's hair before taking her to the store to buy milk. Drank and sang karaoke with my friend from out of town and paid a visit to some kitty cats and an old friend that I haven't seen in a while who gave me a marvelous gift! Here is a poem I wrote to earn your forgiveness. Happy Holidays! More seasonal inspired material coming, including fun homemade gift ideas and pictures of snow from here in jolly old Iowa.
I breathed a sigh of relief hanging my head
by your Christmas wreath.
We could duet the way we would when we were
younger, remaining aloof, frame by frame.
Lenses between us:
obstruct us,
watch us,
stop us,
censor hands,
add invisible strings to smiles.
So tired of pulling, trying to be
anything other than the way I am.
I ask, if just for now, keep me on your brain.
Soon, we might just get the chance to be the next in line.

She had to have some pinkSunday, December 18th, 2011
That's the first thing she said to me when she stepped out of the car.Then I looked at her bracelet pretty bracelet. With a house full of handsome fellas I understood this mamas need for something girly and pretty. It's actually the perfect accessory and a great way to add some of her personality (not as a mom or wife just who she is as a woman) to her family portraits. Maybe next year I can talk her into adding some purple to her outfit choices, I think that would be a great color on them!
They're growing up!Sunday, December 18th, 2011
I've been taking pictures of this family for 3 years now and their pictures are always beautiful! I'm always so happy when we get their session set up because I know it will be fun and relaxing and that the girls are so sweet,and well behaved. Not to mention they are super photogenic! I suggested this location and mom and dad had never heard of it but they trusted me and it was the perfect backdrop for their 2011 Family pictures. If you aren't sure of locations for your session, I have lots of ideas;)
giggle giggle *snortSunday, December 11th, 2011
yup, that happened.
This is another session that had me laughing most of the time! This family has a great sense of humor and I really felt very comfortable with them. I am just a big goofball so sessions where I feel like clients have been long time friends are extra fun for me. Thanks so much to mom for bringing her family to me, I hope the images and experience were just as great for you;)

So proud of the team at Quirky. This manifesto video says it all.
Do you hate having to write artist statements (or find reading them to be funny sometimes)? This is awesome.
Etsy's Twitter Artist Seriesby: Josh Spear
Each month Etsy features a new designer who they let takeover their Twitter background with an original design. They then do a Q&A with the artist and make the design available as a free desktop and mobile download. This month they are featuring beach ball typography by Aubrey Stalnaker.
With 1.3 Million Twitter followers, this could really move the needle for an up and coming artist!
Ckieby: Josh Spear
Ckie (pronouced seeky) is an interntational funding and pre-ordering platform for product design. Yes, like a Kickstarter clone, but this time just for product design. There aren't a ton of projects for you to explore quite yet, but they're getting there. It's not clear if this is a solution in search of a problem– because Kickstarter has plenty of traffic and works just fine, but we'll see where this ones goes.
Update: I didn't realize Takashi Yamada, the force behind Yanko Design was behind this one. That makes things more interesting.

To get an idea about how complex a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Arbitration can get, just consider this case caption: In the Matter of the Arbitration Between: Claimant / Counter-Respondent Piper Jaffray & Company, Incorporated vs. Respondents / Counter-Claimants Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, David B. Holden, Lindsay L. Paine, Michael H. Pellicci, John L. Kuny, Zigmund C. Peret, Neil A. Koepcke, John S. Pinto, Christopher R. Peterson, Cole R. Ryba, Stephen A. Tufo, and Michael M. Loop (FINRA Arbitration 08-02601, March 5, 2010).
All we need is Cecile B. DeMille, Charlton Heston, Sophia Loren, and the Spanish Army and we can film an old-fashioned 1960s epic. A cast of thousands. Filmed on the actual location where it all happened. No one will be admitted to the theater after the first twenty minutes.
Let me try to simplify things as best I can, so as to preserve the gist of this drama.
Claimant Piper Jaffray alleged that Respondent Stifel Nicolaus engaged in a pre-meditated raid of Piper's entire Aircraft Group within Piper's High Yield and Structured Products Division. Piper alleged that eleven of these employees left within 24 hours of each other and that these employees were the most productive of this group and were necessary to operate the business. Piper also stated that Respondents took with them confidential and proprietary documents when leaving their employment and that such documents should be returned to Claimant. If you want to see the blood and guts of this pleading, consider that Piper asserted the following causes of action:
violation of FINRA Conduct Rules;
unfair competition;
unjust enrichment;
breach of fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty;
aiding and abetting;
tortious interference; and
The Respondents pretty much denied the above allegations They too threw in a whole batch of legal mumbo jumbo, but, let it suffice to say that the end result was a pooh-poohing of Pipers claims. Further, Respondents hit back with their own Counterclaim that alleged a failure to fulfill certain specific compensation promises; and interference with Respondents prospective economic advantage. Specifically, Respondents Pellicci and Loop alleged that Piper failed to pay promised compensation totaling almost $5,000,000.00. Similarly, Respondent Pinto alleged that Piper created or knowingly permitted intolerable work conditions for his unwillingness to testify in a lawsuit in which Pinto stated that Piper commanded him to give untruthful testimony, and as a result, Pinto was forced to resign.
More generally, the individual Respondents alleged that there were no restrictive covenants that precluded them from accepting employment from a competitor and that they were free to leave for any reason. For good measure, the individual Respondents also stated that Piper was well aware that they were unhappy with the management and direction of the High Yield and Structured Products Department and as a result the department's mismanagement, they were forced to look for employment elsewhere. In keeping with my commentary above, lets just say that Piper pooh-poohed all those allegations.
Waving off claims or not, Claimant Piper sought an award in the amount of $15,000,000. Respondents ponied up to the table demanding nearly $5,000,000 spread among two individuals.
At the arbitration hearing. Claimant withdrew all claims asserted against Respondents, John L. Kuny, Zigmund C. Peret, Neil A. Koepcke, John S. Pinto, Cole R. Ryba and Stephen A. Tufo. In addition. Respondent John S. Pinto withdrew his counterclaim against Piper Jaffray. Accordingly, all claims against the above-named individual Respondents were dismissed with prejudice and Respondent Pinto's counterclaim will also be dismissed with prejudice.
By and large, the FINRA Arbitration Panel determined that:
Respondents, Stifel Nicolaus & Company and Christopher R. Peterson, are jointly and severally liable for and shall pay to Claimant, Piper Jaffray & Company, Incorporated, the sum of $500,000.00 in compensatory damages;
Respondents, Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Christopher R. Peterson, are jointly and severally liable for and shall pay to Claimant, Piper Jaffray & Company, Incorporated, Interest on the above-stated sum at the rate of 4% per annum from and including the date of service of this Award through and including the date this Award is paid in full;
All confidential documents identified as exhibits in the arbitration hearing, and any other copies thereof, in any form, in the possession of Respondents shall be returned to Claimant.

Kenne Bell 3.6L Twin Screw - Bigger, Better Blower
Testing Kenne Bell's 3.6L Twin Screw
Life is good if you're a mod motor maniac looking for boost, as there are over a dozen different blowers to choose from. If immediate boost is high on your list, the factory Roots blowers offered on the '03-'04 Cobra and GT500 offer instantaneous response combined with plenty of mid-range and top-end power. The average power production of a force-fed Ford has to be experienced to be believed. Those who stand by their decision to run "all-motor" modular combinations have obviously never experienced one with boost!
While the factory (and aftermarket) blowers are impressive, there are always those looking to step things up. These overachievers all but mandated blowers like the Kenne Bell 2.8L H-series. Capable of supporting over 1,000 hp (we recently produced 1,036 hp on a modified 5.4L Four-Valve), the 2.8L H-series has proven to be the class of the field for high-boost, high-horsepower applications. Credit the billet casing for minimizing deflection (allowing higher blower speeds and boost levels), along with the a unique rotor pack and discharge design (port timing) for the impressive packaging and performance of the 2.8L.
Not content to rest on its laurels, Kenne Bell has recognized the need for even higher power levels and recently introduced the new 3.6L. From a size standpoint alone, the 3.6L is capable of supporting over 25 percent more power compared to the 2.8L (yet it still accepts the factory fuel rail and fits under the hood). Not satisfied with a simple increase in displacement, the new 3.6L also offers a number of desirable features including a proprietary rotor configuration, seal pressure equalization, and a revolutionary new liquid cooling system.
The result of these changes is a larger, more powerful supercharger that also offers a reduction in parasitic losses. All superchargers suffer from parasitic losses associated with driving the unit. Different superchargers operating at different boost and power levels require different amounts of energy to drive. When the new design offers more power and boost potential with a reduction in parasitic losses, you know you've done something right. Throw in a decrease in inlet air charge temperatures and increased component life from the liquid cooling and seal pressure equalization, and you have one serious deal.
Naturally, we needed to test the new blower, but before getting to the impressive results (don't sneak ahead and look at the dyno results), we need to understand why the new blower offers so much more power.
First and foremost, the 3.6L is bigger than the old 2.8L. What this means is that for every revolution, the bigger blower will process more airflow. While this bigger-is-better philosophy seems like a no-brainer, there are limitations, or more accurately, proper applications for the larger blower. The ideal application for the larger 3.6L blower is not a stock 4.6L Two-Valve, running 7 psi of boost, but rather a 5.4L GT500 running 15-plus psi of boost. The larger 3.6L was designed for high-horsepower and/or high-boost applications. Given its ability to support 1,200-plus horsepower, it is less than ideal for someone looking to produce just 400 hp. The big blower will obviously do the job at lower boost and power levels, there are just better blower choices for the lower-horsepower applications.
Not just bigger, the 3.6L blower is also better. Better in this case means that with extensive research and development, Kenne Bell has managed to significantly reduce parasitic loses associated with driving the supercharger. Since the parasitic losses are essentially power absorbed by the motor to drive the blower, the power is not applied to propel the vehicle.

Hi, I'm learning just general pseudocode in my class this semester. I'm having trouble understanding some of the repetition structures in the book.
The instructions for one particular problem tell me to calculate how much money is earned if the salary is one penny the first day and it doubles each day after that. I'm having trouble writing the statements that will calculate the salary. It also tells me to display the dollar amount, not the number of pennies. I'm not even asking for the answer, just some kind of push in the right direction at least.
Declare Real days, counter, salary, pennies
//Get upper limit
Display "Calculate earnings over how many days?"
Input days
//Display table headers
Display "Day", Tab, "Salary"
Display "------------------"
//Calculate & display salary
For counter = 1 to days
Having trouble with the calculation!!!
Display counter, Tab, salary
End For
I know I need a formula that doubles the amount. Would the amount start with 0.01?
Set pennies = 0.01
//Display and calculate
For counter = 1 to days
Set salary = pennies
Set pennies = pennies * 2
Display counter, Tab, salary
End For
Is that formula close?

Safety and preparation go hand-in-hand for heavy weather. Crew, topsides, and below decks need to be readied if you suspect a blow in the offing. Even if it never develops, you will have the peace-of-mind that you, your crew and small sailboat are well prepared for what may come your way. John Jamieson (Captain John) here offers some salient advice:
Captain John crewed aboard "Rubicon"--an Outbound 44--from Newport, Rhode Island to St. Maarten in the Caribbean.
Crew Safety ~ Take Care of Your Sailing Crew
Why place sailing crew first? Your crew represents the most important element in successful sailing. Heavy weather sailing--in particular in cool or cold weather--can take a toll on crew. Take care of yourself and your crew first, whether there is only one or a full crew.
Count on the fact that most sailing crew shy away from discussions of sea sickness, fatigue, aches and pains, etc. Take the lead and suggest that all crew begin sea sick medication, rest, and hydration at least 48 hours before a trip. This will help control sea sickness and fatigue.
If sailing in cold weather, make sure that crew have adequate outerwear. Be alert for the first sign of hypothermia--shivering. Rotate watches at a more frequent interval to keep your crew rested and warm.
If sailing in warmer weather, make hourly hydration your priority. Encourage your crew to drink water or one of the popular electrolyte replacement beverages (Emergen-C, Gatorade) to keep hydrated.
Deck Topsides Safety ~ Clear, Lash, and Coil:
Think of anything in the open of a sailboat as topsides. If you climb from the cabin to the cockpit, you are 'going topsides'. Clean decks make for safer sailing. Matter of fact, a quick study of sailboat racing disasters shows this one factor again and again. Those boats that had clean, clear decks sustained less damage, less injuries, and less rescues!
Keep the bow and side decks free of debris or sailing gear and fenders. After each tack or reach or trim, insist that lines be coiled. This needn't be anything fancier than a simple stack of bights. Mainsheet and Genoa sheets need to be ready to run, free of kinks and snarls.
Use extra lashings on liferaft canisters. Check the lashings on flaked headsails stopped off along the toerail or lifelines. Double check lifeline end points (cotters, rings, pelican hooks). Tape over pelican hook bales. Turn cowl vents around so that the open vent faces aft. This will keep the cowl from blowing out of the mount in gusts or waves that break aboard.
Below Decks Safety ~ Lash and Stow Below
Stuff lockers that you suspect have loose gear with towels, pieces of foam, or rags. These will keep small containers or silverware from rolling about. Double check that locker hasps, latches, and dogs are closed and anchored. Stow any loose gear with bungee cord or line to prevent 'missile hazards' (flying objects that can cause injury or damage when the boat takes an unexpected roll).
Put these sailing tips into play before heavy weather arrives at your position. This will help keep your sailing crew or partner and small sailboat safe and sound on the waters of the world--wherever you choose to cruise!

Members of staff from Barnstaple's Rose Lane Tesco came to the rescue this morning after a car caught alight.
Staff members used dry powder extinguishers to douse the white Vauxhall Astra estate after it caught fire on the road next to the superstore's petrol station.
One fire engine from Barnstaple was called to the scene at 11.21am but upon arrival found staff members had already extinguished the burning car.
No injuries were reported in the incident.

A SHORTAGE of tritium, a key ingredient of nuclear weapons, could spur the US administration to open more plants, despite President Barack Obama's declared goal of eliminating nukes.
This would send the wrong signal to the rest of the world, says Robert Alvarez at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC. "If we really want to think about elimination, this would be one of the big milestones - stop making tritium," he says.
Tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen which increases the destructive power of nuclear weapons. But with a half-life of around 12 years, it constantly needs replacing.
A report by the US Government Accountability Office has revealed that the sole US production facility leaks large amounts of tritium into cooling water. Since tritium is a suspected carcinogen, production at the plant has been limited to keep emissions within safe levels.

Lebanese Army Commander General Jean Kahwaji speaks during a ceremony in Yarzeh, Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012. (The Daily Star/Lebanese Army Website, HO)
BEIRUT: The Lebanese Army said that security in the country is a "red line" and urged politicians to help reduce what it described as "unprecedented" levels of tension in parts of the country.
"The Army leadership stresses that security is a red line in deeds and not in words," a statement from the military said, adding that state institutions and public and private property were also off limits.
Clashes erupted Sunday between security forces and hundreds of anti-government protesters attempting to storm the Grand Serail, the country's government house, in Beirut.
The clashes s intelligence chief Wissam al-Hasan who was killed Friday in a Beirut neighborhood.
In its statement, the military warned that in some parts of the country "levels of hatred were rising to unprecedented levels."
It said it would take the necessary measure to prevent the escalation of tensions in parts of the country.
"[The Army recognizes] the sensitivity of this period and the disputes between political sides and it will have decisive steps, particularly in the areas where there is escalating sectarian and religious friction, to prevent Lebanon turning into a place for settling regional scores and to prevent Maj. Gen. Wissam Hasan's assassination from being taken advantage of and turning it into an opportunity to assassinate the nation."
The Army urged politicians to "exert caution while expressing stances and views and mobilizing people because the fate of the nation is at stake."
The military also urged citizens to "exert the highest levels of national responsibility during this stressful period and not to allow emotions to overtake the situation."
It also called on people to vacate the streets and to reopen roads that were blocked.

Does The Region Need Another Amtrak Stop!
Gas prices are expected to hit between $4 and $5 a gallon this summer in some areas......another reason the Empire Builder Amtrak train should have a second daily route. That is currently being studied. Jim Hill of the La Crosse Area Development Corporation.
Hill adds that more frequent service would make trains more convenient for short trips between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities, or from either metro area to a destination such as Wisconsin Dells. A feasibility study will estimate costs, benefits and ridership of expanded Chicago to Twin Cities service.

The National Institutes of Health provided the Callitrichid Research Center with its first federal grant in 1987, providing $50,000 for two years. Recently, we have been involved in a 5-year project on offspring development and its modulation by social environments.
The National Institutes of Health provided the CRC with its first research grant in 1987, a $68,000 Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) grant. In 2001, a five-year R01 award was given to Dr. French, and that grant has been continuously funded since that time (currently funded through 2015. The grant focuses on the impact of two components of early environment on somatic, behavioral, and endocrine maturation in white-faced marmosets. The two early environments we focus on are: (1) prenatal endocrine environments during gestation, focusing specifically on variation in gestational exposure to glucocorticoids and androgens, and (2) immediate postnatal social environments, focusing on variation in early offspring care by mothers, fathers, and older siblings.
In addition to NIH support for the research on marmoset development, Dr. French was a co-PI on an 11-year project from 1998 – 2008 examining the role of maternal hormones in the modulation of maternal care in baboons. This work, done in conjunction with Dr. Linda Brent, then a staff-scientist at Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, TX, brought in $2,250,000 in direct costs for the project.
General Information About the National Institutes of Health:
National Institutes of Health (NIH) began as a one-room Laboratory of Hygiene in 1887 and is today one of the world's foremost medical research centers. An agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, the NIH is the Federal focal point for health research. The NIH is the steward of medical and behavioral research for the Nation. Its mission is science in pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability.
Our research on marmoset and tamarin social behavior, endocrinology, and reproduction has been supported by the National Science Foundation throughout the years. Four grants totaling $740,000 were awarded directly to the UNO Callitrichid Research Center (Dr. French, PI). In addition, the CRC was an important part of an NSF-EPSCoR infrastructure grant ($2,950,000) in the mid-1990's. The Endocrine Bioservices Laboratory that provides endocrine analyses for the CRC and other researchers throughout the world) was established with NSF-EPSCoR funding.
In addition, Dr. French has been a co-PI on grants from NSF totaling $2,094,000 on various projects, including the Masai Mara Hyena Project in Kenya, headed up byKay Holekamp at Michigan State University, the Golden Lion Tamarin Project in Brazil led by James Dietz at the University of Maryland, and the Biological Substrates of Political Behavior and Temperament, led by John Hibbing and Kevin Smith at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
Two UNO students were also awarded the highly coveted NSF Graduate Research Fellowship under the tutelage of Dr. French. These were the first two and only GRF's awarded to students at UNO. Erin Kinnally and Adam Smith both remain productive and active in behavioral neuroscience.
General Information About the National Science Foundation:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent agency of the United States Government, established by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, and related legislation, 42 U.S.C. 1861 et seq., and was given additional authority by the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act (42 U.S.C. 1885), and Title I of the Education for Economic Security Act (20 U.S.C. 3911 to 3922).
The Foundation consists of the National Science Board of 24 part-time members and a Director (who also serves as ex officio National Science Board member), each appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. Other senior officials include a Deputy Director who is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, and eight Assistant Directors.
In 2009, the NU Foundation awarded a $125,000 grant to the Endocrine Bioservices Laboratory and UNO's Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory for equipment and instrumentation upgrades. The grant provided the means for increasing sample preparation, analysis, and storage.
The NU Foundation provided a critical instrumentation grant to the Callitrichid Research Center in 1985. This grant provided our labs with equipment that is still in use today in the endocrinology lab.

HyVee has been a long-time conributor to our program in a special way. The diet of marmosets and tamarins in the wild normally contains anywhere from 30 - 70% protein (primarily derived from insects), but they do eat fruits. HyVee allows us to peruse their out-of-fresh excess produce for use in the marmoset colony. The fruit provides useful nutrients for the animals, and provides them with the stimulation associated with a varied diet. We thank HyVee for their support!
General Information About HyVee
Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating more than 200 retail stores in seven Midwestern states. Throughout our territory, the name Hy-Vee is synonymous with quality products, low prices and superior customer service. Our slogan, "A Helpful Smile In Every Aisle," expresses the foundation of our corporate philosophy. Hy-Vee's combination food and drug centers reflect the changing lifestyles of today's consumers. The emphasis is on freshness, variety and one-stop shopping convenience.
Every successful project needs a good start, and the callitrichid research program received its first funding from the University Committee on Research. This UNOmaha intramural grant program was critical in providing several small grants in the early 1980's that allow us to gather sufficient preliminary data so that we could convince NSF and NIH of the merit of our approach and our projects.
General Information About the University Committee on Research and Creative Activity The University Committee on Research and Creative Activity was created upon recommendation of the Faculty Senate in 1978. The University Committee on Research consists of ten Members of the Graduate Faculty and one graduate student.
The University Committee on Research has the following primary objectives: 1. to foster the development of regionally and nationally competitive research and creative activity, 2. to promote application for external funding through startup and seed-money grants, and 3. to encourage a strong and varied research commitment as an inseparable companion to the University's instructional program.

Ryan Seacrest: Beyonce coming to New Year's Rockin' Eve
Ryan Seacrest is once again hosting Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve from Times Square (in addition to a pre-party show where they celebrate the 40 years that it has been running). He tells "Extra," "Make sure you tune in, it's a big party."
"They're expecting more people than ever ... Justin Bieber, Pitbull doing his big hit of the year and Lady Gaga all together in this little area in the middle of Times Square ... we try and celebrate some of the biggest artists of the year," says Seacrest
The finely-coiffed Seacrest also teases a guest appearance by Beyonce. He says, "You will see Beyonce on the show. I can't tell you too much, but if you're a Beyonce fan, man she's looking good these days, you'll want to see Beyonce. So tune in for that."
We cannot help but speculate that it will be Beyonce live from St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital with her new baby, as birth rumors are flying on the 'net right now.
What do you think, Zappers? That'd be a fun surprise, no?
Be sure and tune in for the pre-show, New Year's Rockin' Eve: The 40th Anniversary Party, which airs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, then the live Times Square 2011 New Year's festivities start, on ABC.

Power outages hit a plateau early Tuesday morning and began creeping downward, with about 186,000 Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. customers without electricity at noon, according to the company.
The company said it has restored power to about 114,000 customers since storm operations began at 10 a.m. Sunday.
BGE will assess the damage Tuesday and Wednesday as restoration efforts continue, said spokesman Rob Gould. He said the utility probably wouldn't be able to give an estimate until late Wednesday or Thursday about when all customers would see power restored.
About 2,000 of the 3,000 out-of-state utility workers BGE requested are on hand to help mop up after Sandy, first a hurricane and later a post-tropical "superstorm." BGE expects the remaining 1,000 mutual-assistance workers to filter in Tuesday, spokeswoman Rachael L. Lighty said.
In addition to the out-of-state help, BGE has 2,100 people on storm detail, from lineman to tree contractors to call-center workers, Lighty said. As both winds and rain eased Tuesday morning, linemen were able to tackle problems that required elevated bucket trucks — work that had been suspended Monday afternoon as Sandy's effects worsened.
"Our crews are definitely working around the clock, but the majority of our crews are out during the day today," Lighty said.
"Superstorm" or not, Sandy's wallop in the Baltimore region was muted compared with the June derecho storm and Hurricane Irene in 2011 — at least in terms of power outages. All told, about 300,000 BGE customers lost power starting Sunday, Lighty said, compared with about 750,000 customers during the derecho and Irene each.
As of noon Tuesday, nearly 15 percent of customers in BGE's service area were still waiting for service to return after Sandy knocked down trees and power lines in its path. The largest number of outages were reported in Anne Arundel County (52,000), Baltimore County (49,000) and Harford County (42,000), with 15,000 out in the city, 14,000 out in Howard County and 3,000 out in Carroll County.
The remainder of the outages in BGE's territory were reported in Calvert, Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Elsewhere in the state, just before noon:
BGE asked all customers whose power goes out — even customers with smart meters — to call 877-778-2222 to report the outage.
BGE has established five staging areas for its crews: M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport and Six Flags America in Upper Marlboro, Gould said.
At the staging area just outside M&T Bank Stadium, out-of-state workers paired up with BGE employees and headed out early Tuesday to neighborhoods with outages. BGE set up a large tent for workers to eat and drop off laundry. Generators and truck engines combined into an ever-present hum.
Among the out-of-state help was a 114-person team from Commonwealth Edison Co. in Chicago, which like BGE is owned by Exelon Corp. Crews came east with ComEd's mobile command center, leaving around 9 a.m. Saturday and arriving at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
"Our goal is to get Baltimore up and running," said Ty Watson, a ComEd heavy-equipment hauler.
With the wind dying down Tuesday, it should be easier for lineman to get the power back on, said Bob Johnson, ComEd's director of emergency preparedness.
