This lecture continues to look at the cell cytoskeleton, covering in detail the microfilaments.
Microfilaments are the smallest filament system of the cytoskeleton and have important functions for cellular motility (intra- and whole cell).
Note that the role of microfilaments in mitosis (cytokinesis) and adhesion (focal adhesions) will not be covered in detail, as this topic is covered elswhere in lecture series.
The key concepts are: microfilaments, actin, associated proteins, tropomyosin, actin regulation, contraction, muscle actins, myosin. The lecture slides and textbook alone contain enough information as an introduction to the subject for this level of study. If you are interested in further reading, I have also included below links to more detailed textbooks with further information and images. Please note this additional information is not necessarily examinable, but may be useful if you have not previously studied biology. The link below to lecture slides allows you to open and view the slides in your web browser or download the PDF document for later viewing/printing.
Understand the role of microfilaments in the cell
Understand the main components of microfilaments and associated proteins
Understand the structure and synthesis of microfilaments
Understand the motor proteins associated with microfilaments
Brief understanding of the regulation of the microfilament cytoskeleton
Brief understanding of microfilament dynamics

December 2nd, 2008 at 5:59 pm
I really enjoyed your podcast and got lots of good pointers from it.
I do have to say THANK you for the shout out for our podcast, KPE (Korero Point England). We are glad that you could understand our kids' accents too
You may be interested to know that we have done a yearlong research on podcasting with KPE here and our findings were more curriculum focused and less technology focused than the research you quoted. Our students' attitudes progressed from needing the technology to motivate them to enjoying the curriculum content for its own sake as the year went on…
Ka kite
Finally I want to give a shout out to John in Canada who sent me a note this past week. Thanks for the email and yes we are proud of our budding little podcaster. Here is a clip of my future star singing to her favorite star!
Adventure in Podcasting is now broadcast every two weeks. Sorry, folks, that job thing is just getting the best of me. See you in two weeks.
And finally, my name Shawn Wheeler and I welcome your comments and feedback. Drop me a note… my email address is – firstname.lastname@example.com
Remember, it is important enough to say to the class, it is important enough for the class to hear it again… Say it again with Podcasting! or What would you say… If the world could hear?
All web sites discussed on Adventures in Podcasting have been bookmarked on my Del.ic.ious page tagged with AIP. You may subscribe to these updates by clicking here.

Poachers have more than halved the number of tigers in Ranthambhor, India's showpiece nature reserve 200 kilometres south of Delhi. The latest census found only 15 tigers. Three years ago there were 44. At the end of last month a 35-year-old man was arrested walking out of the reserve carrying a tiger skin.
However, the biggest trade is not in skins but bones, says Peter Jackson, who chairs the cat specialist group of the World Conservation Union. The trade in all tiger products, including bones, is banned under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
Jackson says there is a big demand for the bones in China, where they are ground up and used to make 'tiger bone wine', which is regarded locally as a tonic. Taiwan and South Korea also import the bones. It takes a kilogram of bones to make 50 bottles of wine.
Jackson said that ...

Predicting the Diamondbacks? Good luck
It's a joke, right? Either that or the email was sent to the wrong guy because there is no way you'd seriously ask me to do this. It's absurd.
My homework assignment tonight from our webmaster/taskmaster is as follows:
"With the Diamondbacks in the playoffs we figured it'd be fun (and a good idea) to do some MLB playoff predictions. So without further ado, please pick the winning team and in how many games.
Right. Ok. I'll get right on that boss man. Because you know, everything about the 2011 Arizona Diamondbacks has been so�..predictable.
A 94 win season coming off back to back 90 plus loss seasons? Oh yeah, plain as day. A potential Cy Young season from Ian Kennedy? I called that one. Stellar contributions from David Hernandez, Ryan Roberts, Joe Saunders and Josh Collmenter? Saw it coming a mile away.
As much as the Gambos of the world will pound their chest and tell you they thought the D-backs were capable of contending in 2011, the truth is nobody -not a blessed soul - would have bet a mortgage payment on any of the above happening. So now I'm supposed to tell you what I think is going to happen in regards to a scenario which I never dreamt was possible of happening in the first place?
Ok. I haven't been right about a thing when it comes to Diamondbacks predictions, but, ok.
I compare these teams side by side and they're pretty similar. Rotation, bullpen, home record�.all of that. Both teams had easy schedules down the stretch so both teams come into the postseason playing good baseball. The one glaring advantage for Milwaukee is their two MVP candidates to the D-backs' one. The one slight advantage is the depth of their rotation; I think top to bottom the Brewers' four is better than the D-backs' four.
X-Factor guys for the D-backs are Daniel Hudson, Saunders, Paul Goldschmidt and Miguel Montero. In particular, I'll be watching Hudson in game two. Already an emotional guy to begin with, he'll need to work extra hard to keep things in check for potentially two starts in this series. Given that I think it's a pretty even series, one that will come down to a fifth game in Milwaukee, I wouldn't want to pick against the Brewers at home so I'll say Milwaukee in five.
You know, the same shlub who said back in March he'd take the under on wins (69) is now telling you Brewers in five. Forget a grain of salt, here's the whole shaker.
But one thing that is for certain; I'm not in the mood to tackle the "big picture" question for the D-backs. The one that asks if the D-backs are poised for real, long term success. We all thought they were back in 2007 and we were all wrong. Given the quality of starting pitching that is on its way combined with what is already here I believe they are. My co-host says the D-backs will win a World Series in the next five years.
I'd be thrilled with winning a playoff series in the next five days.

I have one of these
from Aerostitch, no longer avail there but thanks to CGR I now know where to get one for wife's bike. Important thing for accuracy is to attach to a key-switched wire that is not heavily loaded; I checked at battery w/handheld DVM and know mine always reads ~1/2V low, and mentally correct. If you're real fussy you could run a wire direct to the battery thru a relay off the switched wire. Multicolored LED's light up in .5V intervals and are very easy to interpret via peripheral vision when underway; a coupla greens, you're good; upper end of the yellows OK, check back to see if they're dropping; only red lights, time to switch off all the extras, get the revs up and monitor the recovery. Comes with 2 faceplates for vertical or horizontal mounting.
I get mine very wet all the time and it has never shorted as some online reports have warned (I fused the (+) wire in case it ever does). It's epoxy-encased and completely waterproof, but wires attach to two screw terminals at opposite ends of the back outside of the box, so you need to make sure they can't short to metal or a big puddle of water. Not hard, but dab 'em with silicon if you're nervous.
There's a bunch of other alternatives at
including schematic for a home-grown version with LED's; you could conceivably wire the LED's with a ribbon cable to a separate unit that would fit neatly somewhere on the GS's crowded dash (drilling out the dummy switch and punching LED's thru it comes to mind). They show a number of other options that are probably as applicable to the airhead GS as to the F650, with a little creativity.

Make a wave " Grab your trunks and a towel and head for the water to cool off on a hot summer's day. Whether it's the family wading pool, the city swimming facilities, or a local lake or pond, splash away and enjoy the good, clean fun of playing in the water.
Build a family fire " Roast hotdogs and marshmallows in a outdoor fire pit and capture the heart of your child with a silly story from your childhood. You can even start a story and let each child add the next sentence or paragraph. You'll be tickled by your children's creativity and laughter by the time you reach the end.
Read the classics " Pick an exciting adventure book, such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, and read a chapter each night before bed. The bonds that form while reading good literature with your children will last a lifetime.
Sleep under the stars " Pitch a tent outside or just roll out the sleeping bags and blankets on a warm summer night. Add a study of the night time sky and help your child locate the big dipper, the northern star, and other constellations. Introduce your child to the craters on the moon with an ordinary pair of binoculars. You may even want to add more fun by catching lightning bugs in a jar for a night light.
Use your tools " Put your carpentry skills to work and help your child create a bird feeder for the back yard or a new shelf for their room. Children love to work on home furnishing projects and will treasure their masterpiece once it's completed.
Create a collection " Join forces with your child to collect and preserve his favorite things in an attractive display. Whether its coins, stamps, seashells, or some other item of interest, a child's esteem will increase as you show an interest in his hobbies.
Enjoy a workout " Shut off the TV and video games and let your child pick his favorite activity to enjoy some healthy exercise. Walk or bike the city trail; play a game of soccer, baseball, volleyball, or tennis; or simply have fun at the city park on the swings and teeter-totter.
Paint a picture " Find the sidewalk chalk and create a mural on your driveway with your children. Raining outside? Draw and paint indoors using the I Can Draw Elementary Art Books or Art Ideas from Alpha Omega Publications® (AOP).
Study a bug " Go on a great hunt with your children for spiders, ants, and other insects. Armed with baby food jars and lids, you should find abundant varieties during hot summer days. Check out library books for additional informative facts as you observe these creatures with your children.

Set an ambush " This game is just a good old-fashioned water fight on a hot summer day. Each team (kids against the adults is the most fun) attempt to soak the other using water balloons, squirt bottles, buckets, or anything else that will hold water. Make sure you set boundaries outside and other limits before you start so that no one gets hurt " only wet!
After working 10 or more hours a day and coming home to a list of honey-do chores, it's easy to forget the joys of playing with your children. Don't let the busyness of your day steal the wonderful moments and memories waiting to be made with your family. Let the Lord lead and watch as the family fun is rekindled in your home tonight!

I can't get my IBM T55D (digital flat panel, awesome picture under NT) to work
with linux.
Been searching around for hints (not many) found this link
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/02/19/1217254.shtml on slashdot.org, but I can't
make heads or tails of it (click on the link and then search the page for T55D).
I'd email the people involved in the thread but the email address is "anonymous
I'd really love to use this monitor. Could someone please take a look at the
thread and see if you can decipher it?

LCD Monitors and Linux (digital, not analog) (Score:0)
by Anonymous Coward on Saturday February 19, @03:45PM EST (#29)
On a related note, does anyone have information on which (if any) digital flat
panel monitors work with Linux? I'm using an IBM T55D, and there's a horrendous
kludge to get it to work with XFree86 and the Matrox G200 (involves loadlin, DOS
stuff, and framebuffer driver). I'm trying to get it to work with a Guillemot
Hercules 3D Prophet DDR-DVI. The NVidia GeForce 256 X Server works fine with a
CRT monitor, but I can't get anything except junk to display on the LCD (it does
text mode just fine, though, and the VGA 16 server works in 640x480 so things
like XF86Setup will display). Horrors, I tried it on a Windows box and I think
it queries the flat screen for specs, because it worked perfectly without
needing any monitor info files. Any solutions or suggestions for working video
card/digital lcd combinations under Linux?

Adjust the output timings on your video card so that you are driving the panel
at no more than 60Hz. This is the native refresh rate of the panel itself, and
driving it any faster simply makes the internal Analog to Digitial Converter
inject that much more noise. Use the CRT, perhaps, and xvidtune to come up with
modelines that arrive at the resoltion and timing you desire (hint: 1024x768
60Hz would probably be the configuration you want),
I work at a large company that makes LCD panels, and I spend my days writing
embedded software to make them work. I've seen it all before, so in this case I
am guessing the monitor you have does not support high refresh rates, so you
have to make sure you are not taking modelines from a "real" multisync monitor
and trying to drive the LCD monitor. BTW, yes, Windows can check the monitor via
DDC2 EDID to determine the best refresh rates and resolutions, and I remember
reading that XFree86 does not really support this, and it is also entirely
possible that the monitor you have did not implement it properly. Finally,
someone said this already: Go Digital! Analog LCD is inferior on almost all
counts (except maybe price)

I spent all day trying to get it to work. I nabbed the monitor .inf file from
floppy and it had a 48.4,60,+,+ entry for 1024x768 16 bit (the only entry
actually). I assume that's horiz, vert, and positive hsync and vsync.
>so you have to make sure you are not taking modelines from a "real" multisync
monitor and trying to drive the LCD monitor
I tried bunches of them -- I found one that looked similar from a 14" IBM LCD
laptop screen (range was 31.5-48.5, 60) but no go.
>Finally, someone said this already: Go Digital!
DVI card and the monitor is DVI also. =)
What company do you work for, and have you had success getting any of the
digital monitors to work under Linux?
Is there some other setting that digital screens need?

Update -- managed to get it working with framebuffer console driver.
Used the vga=792 line in lilo for a 1024x768x24 bit screen, and that worked
okay. Then fbset -x for the lines in X.

This is a Trackmaster frame with a 1965 Bonneville T120R motor. It is the real deal race bike, perfect for Racing or nice enough to stare at in your Man Cave. All the right and rare parts:
Original Trackmaster Frame, Barnes Script Primary cover, Hurst Airheart Disc Brakes, Betor Forks, Girling Shocks, TT Pipes, Genuine Bates Seat & Pillion, Wassell Fender, Borrani Rims, Pirelli Tires, Barnes Quick Change Rear Hub, Amal MonoBloc carbs with K&N filters.
I bought this about 7 or 8 years ago with the intention of Vintage Racing it, but an injury on my KTM prevented that. So mostly I've just stared at it while enjoying a glass of Whisky. I got it from a guy that I've done a few bike deals with and he had just restored it when I got it. The motor was completly gone through and he said it has a 750 kit and a set of Race Cams. (I've never opened it up to verify, but I have no reason to doubt him) The frame was replated and all the aluminum was polished. It looked better than new when I got it. It is starting to show that it could use a good detailing again.
It's time for me to send it to a new home - either someone that wants to go Vintage Dirt Track Racing or to a collector that will appreciate the beauty of it. I have not run it in about 5 years. One of the carbs hangs up a little. I did drain the gas when it was parked so that tank and carbs are clean. I would like to see $7500.00 for it, might take a partial trade - try me.

They've kept better players than Parise and Niedermayer? Scott Stevens tried to bolt also... Keeping Schneider is not a slam dunk. Schneider is going to sign where he thinks gives him the best chance to win and make the most money? The Islanders could throw the kitchen sink at him... There are a lot of teams out there that are going to be in the mix to get him. Trading the pick for 2 years of him was not a good trade at all. Locking him up long-term is the key to that trade. Lou's best chance to do that would have been last summer. Now, we've already frustrated him with playing time and playing behind a marginal team.
The Devils have the extra year to give, that's worth $6.5-7M. And how was he going to sign last summer with an existing contract? If you're going to complain, at least understand how the system works, Schneider can't sign a contract until 7/1/14

Jennifer Egan gets an honorary Dude Lit mention for A Visit from the goon Squad.
The Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist of A Visit From the goon Squad explains each pick.
"Badmashi" means a "goon" in the Urdu and Hindi parlance of the subcontinent.
1921, "stupid person," from gony "simpleton" (1580s), of unknown origin, but applied by sailors to the albatross and similar big, clumsy birds (1839); sense of "hired thug" first recorded 1938 (in reference to union "beef squads" used to cow strikers in the Pacific northwest), probably from Alice the Goon, slow-witted and muscular (but gentle-natured) character in "Thimble Theater" comic strip (starring Popeye) by E.C. Segar (1894-1938). She also was the inspiration for British comedian Spike Milligan's "The Goon Show." What are now "juvenile delinquents" were in the 1940s sometimes called goonlets.
: goon squad/ his goon tactics
[mid-1930s+; origin uncertain; perhaps entirely fr the name of Alice the Goon, a large hairy creature who appeared in E C Segar's comic strip ''Thimble Theatre'' in 1936, but who had a very gentle disposition; perhaps connected with Frederick Lewis Allen's term for ''a person with a heavy touch,'' that is, a literary or stylistic touch, found by 1921; perhaps fr gooney]

Acclaimed director Shekhar Kapoor, who has termed his new work "Paani" a mission, says he had written the film 15 years back.
"When first wrote 'Paani'? 15 years ago. But no one thought it would be such a big issue then," Kapur tweeted Sunday.
"Richard Attenborough said it took him 20 years to get 'Gandhi' made. I guess every director has such a passion," further posted the 66-year-old.
Known for his Bollywood films "Masoom", "Mr. India", "Bandit Queen", Kapur moved to Hollywood and directed movies like "Elizabeth", "The Four Feathers" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age".
"Paani" is based in a future world where wars over water have broken out. Water is now owned by international corporations who use thirst as a weapon of control. In one such future city, a young love story breaks all the rules and in the ensuing war, water flows back to its people.
The project kept getting delayed until Yash Raj Films agreed to be the producers of the film. It was reported that Hrithik Roshan will essay the male lead. But no confirmation has been made yet.
"Paani" will go on floors mid-2013 and will be shot in India and overseas. It will have music by the Oscar-winning musician A.R. Rahman.

Hazrat-e-Bishr Qarazi narrates that I was travelling with a group of traders along with fourteen camels carrying sugar. We stopped for the night in a dangerous jungle. In the early hours of the night my four loaded camels disappeared, which were not found even after a lot of search. The group also departed. The camel driver stayed back with me . In the morning I suddenly remembered that my Mentor, The King of Baghdad Huzoor Ghous-e-Pak had told me that whenever you get stuck in any problem then call me (my name), Allah willing that problem will be solved, hence I requested this way: YA SHAIKH ABDUL QADIR! MY CAMELS ARE LOST.
All of sudden I saw a saintly man dressed in white clothes on a sand dune towards east, who was signaling me to come to him. As soon as I along with my camel driver reached over there the saintly Man disappeared from vision. We were strangely looking here and there when we suddenly spotted those four lost camels sitting under the sand dune. Then what happened was that we caught the camels and re-joined the group. When Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Ab-ul-Hasan Ali Khabbaz was told the incident of the lost camels He said that Hazrat-e-Shaikh Ab-ul- Qassim has said that I have heard Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Muhi-ud-Din Abdul Qadir Jilani saying:
"THE ONE WHO CRIES OUT FOR MY HELP DURING SOME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM GETS SOLVED, THE ONE WHO CALLS OUT MY NAME IN ANY HARDSHIP, THAT HARDSHIP; GETS DISMISSED, THE ONE WHO USED ME AS A SOURCE TO ASK ALLAH FOR SOME NEED, IT WILL BE FUFILLED. THE PERSON WHO PRAYES TWO RAK'AT OF NAFL AND IN EACH RAK'AT AFTER SURAH FATIHA RECITIES SURAH IKHLAS ELEVEN TIMES, AFTER SAYING SALAAM i.e AFTER FINISHING THE PRAYER, SENDS DUROOD-O-SALAAM ON THE KING OF MADEENAH AND THEN WALKS A DISTANCE OF ELEVEN STEPS TOWARDS BAGHDAD SHAREEF AND CALLS OUT MY NAME AND PRESENTS HIS NEED, ALLAH WILLING, THAT NEED WILL BE FULFILLED'.
Why should I go from door to door when I have a mentor like You. I received every thing from you 'O, Ghous-e-Azam Dastgir.
Dear Islamic Brother! It is possible that in someone's mind a thought may arise that we should only ask Allah for any help and no one else, because when Allah is the One who helps then why should we ask anyone else for help? The answer to this is that this is the way he makes an unknown number of people go astray. When Allah has not refrained from asking for help from someone else then how can someone get the right of saying that don't ask for help from anyone but Allah. Look in the Holy Quran, where Allah has in various verses allowed asking for help from someone else, but even though being the Omnipotent in every way,. He has asked for help from His beings. Therefore it is stated:
Translation: If you will help the religion of Allah, Allah will help you. (Part-26, Sura: Muhammad)

Even as he was battling cancer, 14-year-old Nolan Conway of Cypress, TX, never ceased to be a big Texas football fan. Or critic, as it turns out.
While recently recounting his miraculous story of recovery for KHOU-TV in Houston, Conway had this piece of advice for the Longhorns: "Fire Mack Brown!" (Fast-forward to the 1-minute, 28-second mark of the video below.)
It was clearly said in jest ... we think. After enduring 29 chemotherapy sessions over the past year — which came after the removal of a tumor that doctors didn't discover until Conway bumped his head while roughhousing with a friend — it's certainly not the type of thing you'd expect him to say.
It's worth pointing out that Conway has already gotten to meet Texans DE J.J. Watt and country music star Jason Aldean. Whether a meeting with Brown would Conway's tune remains to be seen.

WILLIAMSBURG, Iowa – Some Eastern Iowa kids are getting global recognition as they work to teach other younsters a valuable lesson.
An eight-person 4-H team called the Robotic Raiders recently finished creating a board game.
We called it Cyclone Survivor, said Clint Jones.
The 12-year-olds and their little Lego playing pieces have a goal: to teach kids about tornado safety.
I think the best part was probably that it's just kind of like creative. When everybody thinks of learning drills, they don't think of games. They think of like everyone running in lines to the nearest, safest spot, and I think that was pretty cool, said Nick Marovets.
They decided on the topic after hearing about disasters that impact people in Iowa from the county sheriff. Then, the 4-H team did all kinds of research and wrote questions.
The team said the goal is to answer questions correctly, move towards the center of the playing board and collect as many pieces as possible for a survival kit.
Flashlight, food, battery-operated radios, stuff like that, Jones said.
I am very proud of it, said Mitchell Miner.
They're not the only ones impressed by how it turned out. At the end of the month, the team will travel to Virginia where it's one of the top three finalists for a global prize called the Global Innovation Award.
This comes after competing at regional and state levels.
I think it was a huge accomplishment for us, Jones said.
It was like a huge milestone for our team. I think it kind of got everyone motivated like, of what we could do if we all put our minds to it, Marovets said.
With each move they make, they're proud of their work and proud to represent Iowa.
We aren't just the tiny state in the middle of nowhere. We can actually accomplish things, Marovets said.
The group and their coaches are raising money so that the whole team can attend the June 3 event to find out where they placed among the top three projects in the world.
If you'd like to help out, you can send donations or call the Iowa State University, Iowa County Extension Office. 4-H coaches said the group will use any prize money they win to help further develop and produce the game for more kids.

Lincoln the naysayer
The years in the wilderness
Posted: February 12, 2013 at 4 a.m.
ON THIS Lincoln's Birthday, let us call to mind not the Great Emancipator. Or even the Lincoln enshrined forever in his Memorial, "as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union." But another, almost forgotten Lincoln: the obscure ex-congressman and railroad lawyer sentenced to wander around the edges of American politics for years.

How are instant noodles made? What is so seductive about chocolate? Are food additives really harmful? Answers to these questions and more can be found at the latest exhibition of the Hong Kong Science Museum, "It's a Tasty World - Food Science Now!".
Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and with exhibits produced and supplied by the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Japan, the exhibition will be open to the public from tomorrow (October 14) until February 1, 2012, at the Hong Kong Science Museum.
Featuring more than 60 interactive exhibits, the exhibition will explain, from a scientific perspective, why we find some foods delicious. It also describes the production process for packaged foods, explains various methods of food preservation, demonstrates the recycling of food waste, and tells us why we should think seriously about the food crisis and food in the future. Visitors will gain a better understanding of food science, including its myths and facts.
Officiating at today's (October 13) opening ceremony were the Under Secretary for Home Affairs, Ms Florence Hui; the Director of Public Relations and Cultural Affairs Division, Consulate-General of Japan, Mr Hitoshi Kikuchi; the Chief Executive Director of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Japan, Dr Mamoru Mohri, and the Chief Curator of the Hong Kong Science Museum, Mr Michael Wong.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ms Hui noted that Japanese food is so popular in Hong Kong that Japanese restaurants can be found in almost every corner in the city. She said that the exhibition, which was developed in Japan with a focus on Japanese food, would enable visitors to learn more about Japan's food culture.
Divided into six sections, the exhibition looks at food in the light of cutting-edge science and technology, including its tastes and smells, food production efficiency, food quality and safety, health, the finite nature of our planet's resources, and the importance of regionality and cultural background.
Section one focuses on taste, showing visitors how our body tastes food and detects new flavours from different food combinations. Visitors can even wear a specially designed costume which will give a hint of how our tongue recognises taste. Visitors will also be able to learn about the food cultures of China, the United Kingdom, Japan, Thailand, Korea, France and India through attractive dining table settings featured in the exhibition.
The second section takes a look at the mass production of food and explains why factory farming is necessary for food production. Visitors will learn about growing crops without using soil, understand the advantages of factory farming and discover how to increase crop yield accordingly. The exhibition also features specially designed equipment that allows the cook to deliver the food to customers in the fastest and most convenient way.
Section three focuses on preservation technology. Various methods of preserving food and associated scientific principles, including canning technology, "space food" and frozen-food technology will be introduced. Visitors will be shown how "freezing" technology keeps tuna fresh by not damaging the cells. They will also find out how cup noodles are connected to the development of space food technology.
Section four looks at the food of the future. It illustrates the nutrients that are essential to our bodies and how different food combinations affect our absorption of nutrients.
Section five looks into the problems of food disposal. The exhibition shows visitors how Japan deals with food waste, including the establishment of a food bank, generation of electricity and ecofeed for pigs as well as reduction of food waste. "Ecofeed" demonstrates how food waste can be used to feed pigs after processing - and how then when these pigs mature, they will become our food again.
The final section focuses on the issues of health and the food crisis. Related issues, such as mad cow disease, food additives, nutritional labelling, use-by-dates and food safety are covered.
In addition to the exhibits provided by the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Japan, the Hong Kong Science Museum has also specially developed some exhibits to show visitors how to make good use of food waste, explain more about food labelling and describe the food production process in Hong Kong. A touch-screen computer game will allow visitors to move around every corner of the kitchen and search for any recyclable food waste, while an air-sealed recycling bin shows visitors a simple method for domestic food waste recycling.
The Hong Kong Science Museum is located at 2 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East. It is open from 1pm to 9pm from Monday to Wednesday and on Fridays, and from 10am to 9pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. It is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays). Admission is $30 with half-price concession for full-time students, people with disabilities and senior citizens aged 60 or above. Free admission on Wednesdays is not applicable to this exhibition.
For details of the exhibition, visit the Hong Kong Science Museum's website at http://hk.science.museum , or call 2732 3232.
Ends/Thursday, October 13, 2011
Colours greatly affect people's perception of taste. The exhibit, "Foods and colours", shown in the picture, demonstrates that artificial colouring increases the attractiveness of processed foods.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the "Plant Factory" - which uses a method of growing crops without using soil. It offers a number of advantages and helps to increase crop yield.
Food eaten by astronauts, or "space food", is produced using the most advanced scientific technology, creating meals that can be eaten safely even in a zero-gravity environment. Visitors may be surprised to learn that instant noodles were derived from similar technology.
"Balance game", one of the exhibits, analyses the nutritional value of common foods.
An opening ceremony for the "It's a Tasty World - Food Science Now!" exhibition was held today (October 13) at the Hong Kong Science Museum. The officiating guests are (from left) the Chief Curator of Hong Kong Science Museum, Mr Michael Wong; the Director of the Public Relations and Cultural Affairs Division, Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong, Mr Hitoshi Kikuchi; the Under Secretary for Home Affairs, Ms Florence Hui; and the Chief Executive Director of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Japan, Dr Mamoru Mohri.

The world's largest potato is the Great Big Idaho Potato, which was made in Weiser, Idaho, The potato is 28 feet long, 12 feet wide and 11.5 feet tall and it is 1,102 times heavier than the largest potato ever grown. The potato is so big if it mashed, it would serve 30,325 people. However, it's made out of steel, plywood, foam and concrete. It would take about 10,000 years to grow a potato this size. The largest potato sits on a 48-foot long flatbed trailer. The project took about a year to complete.
The largest potato makes its way across the nation in honor of the Idaho Potato Commission's 75th Anniversary and in support of Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), which is the oldest and largest national organization dedicated to ending senior hunger. The potato tour begun in Boise and will go away all across the nation for the subsequently seven months.

Maputo — Gunmen of Mozambique's former rebel movement Renamo on Thursday morning attacked vehicles using the main north-south highway for the fourth consecutive day.
As in the week's previous attacks, Renamo hit the first convoy, setting out under military escort, from the small town of Muxungue, in the central province of Sofala, to the Save river. But this time, according to the report on the independent television station STV, nobody was killed or injured in the ambush.
The repeated attacks are having a serious impact on the lives of people attempting to travel between Beira and Maputo. As soon as they hear shooting on the road, buses towards the back of the morning convoys tend to turn round and head back to Muxungue.
STV found that many passengers had been stranded in Muxungue for days, running out of money and food, and with nowhere to sleep except inside the buses.
Many of the passengers are women traders who begged the government and Renamo to reach an agreement. "I can't believe this is happening in our Mozambique", declared Iolanda Armando, one of the travelers held up in Muxungue. "It's like things that are happening far away. Just to travel 500 kilometres is taking us two or three days. This is no good!"
Truck drivers interviewed by STV were resigned to continuing to use the Muxungue-Save road. They said they have no alternative.
Defence Minister Agostinho Mondlane, interviewed by the Maputo daily "Noticias", declared that the defence and security forces will continue to protect the public against Renamo attacks.
He denied the frequent claims by Renamo spokesmen that the armed forces (FADM) have been attacked Renamo positions with the intention of killing Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama, and finishing the movement off militarily.
"The truth is what we can all see in broad daylight: it is Renamo which is carrying out the attacks", said Mondlane. "At no time have the armed forces taken the initiative to attack any position of Renamo. Renamo promised to carry out attacks, and that is what it is doing".
He lamented that Renamo is abandoning military action in favour of military action. "They say they want peace, but their actions contradict what they tell everybody", said the Minister.
He pointed out that when Dhlakama said he wanted to register as a voter, he was able to do so (on 8 May) and nothing happened to him "precisely because it is not the government's intention to create any type of complication for him and his organisation".
"It is Renamo that took the initiative to set itself up where it is and to attack civilian and military targets", the Minister said.

AN ALARMING increase in seismic activity along one of Japan's most dangerous fault lines has been detected over the past 18 months.
Researchers at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) in Tsukuba have been studying the fault, which runs through Suruga Bay, 130 kilometres west of Tokyo, where the Philippine Plate dives under the Eurasian Plate
In the 1970s, seismologists identified the epicentres of earthquakes that had occurred along the tectonic plate boundary over the past 300 years and discovered a "seismic gap" where there has been no major earthquake since 1854. Historical records reveal that a big quake occurs there roughly every 140 years.
The region, known as Tokai, is monitored by a ring of seismometers which transmit data to the Earthquake Assessment Centre in Tokyo. Tsuneo Katayama, director-general of the NIED, says that this monitoring network has recorded an alarming ...

This report integrates current knowledge of the stratospheric ozone layer, human-emitted ozone-depleting substances, and the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth's surface.
An assessment of the effects of short-lived gases and particles in the atmosphere. They can significantly change regional surface temperatures. By the year 2100 short-lived gases and particles may account for as much as 40 percent of the warming over the continental U.S. in summertime.
The findings presented in this report draw from scenarios designed to stabilize the influence of a suite of greenhouse gases. Three climate-modeling groups independently developed a reference scenario and then developed four contrasting stabilization scenarios for comparison.
This report addresses previously identified discrepancies between observations and simulations of surface and atmospheric temperature trends. It is an important revision to the conclusions of earlier reports from the U.S. National Research Council and the IPCC.

Voice of the people
Since the Sandy Hook school shooting, there has been a hue and cry for "gun control."
The massacre at Sandy Hook was an outrageous attack on us all. It would be impossible to understand the grief felt by these parents. But I wonder if "gun control" is the answer?
Could this country successfully ban so-called "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines?
There is a federal ban on the possession of marijuana and heroine. Opium-type drugs and cocaine are tightly controlled. When you read the newspaper, there are arrests made every day for the sale and possession of these banned substances. Why would any sane person think guns would be any different than drugs?
Anyone with money can obtain these things whether they are against the law or not.
If drugs are coming across the border in a backpack, why couldn't the smuggler put a few high-capacity magazines or guns in with the drugs?
Gun laws only apply to the law-abiding citizen, not criminals or the mentally unstable.
I am sure that Congress can pass some "feel good" law and then can say it has done its job.
It is strange that if these laws are good for us, why does Congress exempt themselves from most of them?
You can be sure that the rich and Hollywood elite types will have their private security guards, armed with automatic weapons, to protect themselves.
Who is going to protect you when the guns are gone? The police? Forget that, they will come and take a report after you are robbed, raped or dead.
The first 20 minutes or so are up to you to take care of yourself and family.
If you want to be helpless when attacked by a criminal, by all means ask for more "gun control."

Best people carriers and MPVs
MPVs and people carriers are excellent cars to go for if you have a large family or want a flexible interior. Most offer extra seats that can be arranged in a variety of different ways and have plenty of storage space throughout the cabin. The very latest models have sliding doors and no C-pillars (the pillars between the front and rear doors) for excellent access.
But a spacious and flexible interior is just part of the critera – to get on our top 10 list, cars need to offer value for money, low running costs, useable performance, decent reliability and appealing looks. Just because you're buying an MPV doesn't mean you should settle for a car that's not fun to drive, so our list includes models such as the excellent Ford S-MAX.
We've tried to feature a broad spectrum of models from the small Ford B-MAX, to the mid-sized Kia Carens and full-sized SEAT Alhambra, so keep reading for our guide to the UK's top 10 MPVs.

FOR the first time, the light-sensing cells found in the retina have been grown from scratch in the lab and transplanted into the eyes of blind mice. The transplanted cells matured and connected with nerves that transmit visual signals to the brain.
If the procedure can be repeated with human stem cells, researchers believe they could cure most forms of blindness that result from the degeneration of photoreceptor cells.
Robin Ali of University College London and his colleagues made the photoreceptors using a relatively new procedure that allows embryonic stem cells to self-organise into retina-like structures within a three-dimensional blob of jelly.
Crucially, they also identified the optimal stage in the cells' development to transplant them into the eyes of mice: 24 days. At this point the photoreceptor cells are still relatively immature, but when implanted into the eye they find their own way to where they are needed and then mature fully (Nature Biotechnology, doi.org/m9c).
If the cells passed the 24-day mark outside of the eye they become photoreceptor structures called outer segments, which are not able to find their way when transplanted, says Ali.
"We now have a route map for doing this with human embryonic stem cells," he says. The team has already grown the precursors to human retinal photoreceptor cells. "The challenge is to get [the procedure] efficient enough for transplants," he says.
In the meantime, Ali's team wants to carry out more transplants in mice and show that these mean they can see. They say that although the transplanted cells developed and connected up to nerve cells successfully in the first attempt, not enough cells were implanted to restore the mouse's vision. "It's a numbers game," says Ali.
"Until recently, photoreceptor loss was thought to be irreversible, but there's now enough evidence to think we might be able to reverse blindness in the future," says Robert Lanza, medical director of Advanced Cell Technology, a company that specialises in stem cell trials based in Marlborough, Massachusetts. "But it needs to be repeated using human cells, and there are lots of technical issues that need to be addressed, such as scaling up the three-dimensional culture system."

A man selling phone cases on a wheelbarrow waits for customers at a motor park in Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, October 10, 2012. REUTERS/Akintunde Akinleye
LAGOS, Nigeria: Police say they've found the body of a Lebanese construction worker kidnapped for ransom in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta.
Rivers state police spokesman Ben Ugwuegbulam said Wednesday that the man's body was found in the bush by locals. The spokesman said the Lebanese man had apparently been shot to death after being earlier kidnapped from a construction site near Port Harcourt International Airport.
Militants and criminal gangs in the Niger Delta routinely target expatriate workers and middle- and upper-class Nigerians for ransom. Typically, hostages remain safe until a negotiated ransom is paid.

Len: Labour Front Bench Decision To Abstain Sent Wrong Message On Welfare
Len McCluskey praised the 44 Labour MPs who voted against the government's workfare legislation yesterday for "standing up for core Labour values of decency and justice."
Len warned the Party front bench that its decision to abstain in the Commons vote sent the wrong message to millions of people being targeted by the cuts, the unemployed in particular.
Those Labour MPs who voted against the government last night saved the party's honour. Abstention in the vote risks being seen as tacit acceptance of forced labour. Let's be clear – it cannot be right that unemployed people are required to work for nothing but JSA payments.
"Our party needs to be seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder with all those suffering from the consequences of the Con-Dems' failed economic strategy, not giving a green light to any suggestion that the poor should pay for the crisis.
"Labour needs to understand that it is the opposition to a disastrous government waging class war against the poor. Labour failed to provide that opposition yesterday, with the honourable exception of the 44 MPs who stood up for core Labour values of decency and justice." "
Labour is in a strong position to win the next election – it is beginning to set out a new approach which breaks with 30 years of neo-liberal economics, the policies that caused the crisis. But it will only succeed if it continues on that radical path – if the Party listens to the New Labour undead rather than confront the coalition on basic issues of social justice it will lose. Labour must not make this kind of mistake again."

ya should be able to get it fixed up without difficulty.
The crash bar never hit the ground, shouldn't be factor. The bike stayed upright. It bounced around alot, but stayed upright. The pipe and muffler seemed to take most of the impact. I would have expected the pipes to be crushed flat, but they held up great. It's very possible the weight of the engine pulling down put more pressure on that point than any engineer ever imagined it would see.
Jeff probably won't admit it here, but he was freakin' FLYING when he hit the wash out crossing the road, and pulled 40 years of moto experience out of his a$$ to save it. We'd still be sorting out the peices if he hadn't known to get the front end over it. Great save. (Don't let it go to your head, you still ride a Harley....
