Old English stigrap, literally "climbing rope," from stige "a climbing, ascent" (from Proto-Germanic *stigaz "climbing;" see stair) + rap (see rope). Originally a looped rope as a help for mounting. Germanic cognates include Old Norse stigreip, Old High German stegareif, German stegreif. Surgical device used in childbirth, etc., so called from 1884. Stirrup-cup (1680s) was a cup of wine or other drink handed to a man already on horseback and setting out on a journey, hence "a parting glass" (cf. French le vin de l'etrier).

Editorial: "What makes the purrfect pet?"
The domestic cat is easily the world's most popular pet, outnumbering dogs by as many as three to one. This popularity is undoubtedly helped by the fact that cats are simultaneously affectionate and self-reliant. They need virtually no training. They groom themselves. They can be left alone without pining for their owners, but most nonetheless greet us affectionately when we get home. In a word, they are convenient.
Even so, cats remain aloof and inscrutable. Dogs tend to be open, honest and biddable. Cats, on the other hand, demand we accept them on their terms, but never quite reveal what those terms might be.
Will we ever know? I'm convinced that we will. I've shared my home with quite a few cats, but I don't feel that this has taught me very much about what they are really like. Rather, it is ...

High-Density Mammalian Transient Protein Expression
Quote From Researcher
The Expi293™ System gives you the benefit of a stable cell system in much less time. It's easy to produce 3–5 times more protein with much less effort.
The Expi293™ Expression System is a major advancement in transient expression technology for rapid and ultra high-yield protein production in mammalian cells. It is based on high density culture of Expi293F™ cells in Expi293™ Expression Medium. Transient expression is powered by the new cationic lipid-based ExpiFectamine™ 293 transfection reagent in combination with optimized transfection enhancers designed to work specifically with this transfection reagent. All components work in concert to generate 2- to 10-fold higher protein yields than conventional culture systems such as the FreeStyle™ 293 Expression System. Expression levels of greater than 1 g/L were achieved for IgG and non-IgG proteins (See Figure 1).
Learn about Expi293™ system on the ambr™ platform for automated protein expression
Figure 1. Expression of human IgG and Fc-tagged Cripto achieve expression levels of over 1g/L in the Expi293™ Expression System.
What's in the System?
The components included in the kit are:
- 2 vials of frozen Expi293F™ cells
- 1 liter of Expi293™ Expression Medium
- 1 ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection Kit, sufficient to transfect 1 liter of culture
- OptiMEM® Reduced Serum Medium
- An Antibody-Expressing Positive control
The ExpiFectamine™ 293 Reagent and ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection Enhancers 1 and 2 are sold together as the ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection kit. All other components of the system are available separately.
What Makes Expi293™ Expression System Unique?
Expi293™ Expression Medium is a chemically defined, serum-free, protein-free medium. Expi293™ Expression Medium enables high density cell culture (See Figure 2) and transfection, allowing for significantly higher volumetric protein yields than traditional culture systems.
Figure 2. Cell viability and viable cell density over time for cells grown in Expi293™ Expression Medium vs. other 293 culture media.
Expi293F™ cells are specifically adapted to exhibit higher pg/cell/day productivity than typical 293 cells and produce up to 1.7x more protein than Freestyle™ 293F cell when used in the Expi293™ Expression System.
ExpiFectamine™ 293 transfection reagent is capable of high-efficiency transfection of high-density 293 cultures, and is coupled with transfection enhancers that further boost transfection performance and expression levels. (See Figure 3).
Figure 3. Expression of hIgG, with and without transfection enhancers.
How Does the Kit Work?
The Expi293™ Expression System contains all the components needed to easily produce high levels of recombinant protein in your own laboratory. The only additional component required is a mammalian expression vector containing the DNA for your protein of interest.
Expi293F™ cells are thawed and grown in suspension culture in Expi293™ Expression Medium. Cells are typically grown in flasks on a shaker platform inside a CO2 cell culture incubator or in bioreactors. The cells are transfected using ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection Reagent. Transfection enhancers 1 and 2 are then added to the culture 16-18 hours post-transfection. There is no need to change culture medium or otherwise supplement the cultures during protein production. Protein harvest can be performed from 2 to 7 days post-transfection, depending on the expression profiles of the protein of interest. For expression of recombinant antibodies, maximum yields are often seen from 5 to 7 days post-transfection.
The system is highly scalable and should produce similar volumetric protein yields in transfection formats ranging from 1 mL cultures in a 24-well plate up to 1L cultures in shake flasks (See Figure 4).
Figure 4. Expression of Fc-tagged Cripto achieves similar volumetric protein yields at 3 different scales.
The Expi293™ Expression System is a rapid method of producing mg to gram quantities of recombinant protein in mammalian cells. For the expression of human or other mammalian proteins, expression in the human-derived 293 cells offers the benefit of more native folding and post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, when compared to expression systems based on hosts such as E. Coli, yeast, or insect cells.
*Protein yields in each culture are expressed as normalized values, based on the amount obtained using FreeStyle™ Expression Medium supplemented with PEI in 1 L of culture.

Great looks meet great warmth for a fall and winter sweater you won't ever leave at home.
Explore another lively mountain town this winter when you wear the Patagonia Women's Better Sweater Jacket. Combining a knit sweater feel on the outside with a soft fleece interior, the Better Sweater insulates you while maintaining the about-town look of a sweater sold at twice the cost. This fleece jacket isn't just for looks, however, with the stand-up collar as well as a front zipper wind flap to guard against the gusts during chilly day hikes in the hills.

Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket - Women's
? Share a...
Three season jacket...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
The Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket is the perfect three season coat. In spring and fall it is wonderful for those 40-50 degree days. It also was a great layering piece in the winter for everyday use or for physical activity. Nice slim fit, yet not too slim you still can't layer underneath. I am 5'10. I usually am a medium however went with the large to give me extra length I need. Two pockets on the front and the small pocket on your arm for keys, cash, etc. I have noticed it is starting to pill in some spots, yet it has been washed several times. Overall a real solid jacket and am guessing another will be purchased in the future.
The Sassy Gal
Love this fleece sweater, need help!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
This is the third better sweater I've bought. Less than an month after getting it the zipper came undone (that's fatal). I called and got Jason in customer support. He has done a great job of helping me get another since the color I need is in short supply.
This is my first purchase from Backcountry and because of Jason's help it will not be my last.
Great products and incredible customer service go a long way in my book.
Kate Dubuisson
Great midlayer, not for windy days
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This jacket is just right for those 40-50 degree days when you don't want to bust out the down jacket, but it's still chilly out. I bought the Violetti color in S, and it fits true to size for Patagonia (I'm 5'5" and 128 lbs). The fleecy lining is very soft, and I haven't experienced any pilling yet. However, it does not block wind at all - I still get pretty cold wearing this if there's a decent breeze blowing.
Grant Kates
What is the center back length of a medium?

Great Jacket
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I have one of these myself and love it so much I got one as a gift for my mom. It's super warm and makes for a great mid layer or a stand alone jacket. I got the Violetti color and the color is just as pictured. Overall, a super versatile and comfortable piece to have.
Gina C.
Love the color
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought a safe color "black" last year and loved it so I wanted to venture out with color. Turqoise is my favorite color and the Tobogan Blue did not disappoint me.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I was very excited to receive my Patagonia Better Sweater, however, as soon as I opened the package the first thing I noticed was the Patagonia symbol on the front completely crooked. At first I thought maybe it was the style, or the way it was folded, but upon trying it on, I was embarrassed to even show anyone the jacket. I am very disappointed that I now have to send it back and I am worried about trusting Patagonia again to order a new one. I always thought Patagonia made quality products so this really disappointed me.
Ty Nelson
Sorry you received a lemon of a Better Sweater, first I've heard honestly of a crooked tag. This isn't a reflection of Patagonia's overall quality, and I'd feel confident ordering a replacement. Both Patagonia and Backcountry will stand behind your purchase 100%.
love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
One of the most versatile articles of clothing I own. Also gave one as a gift . It truly is a better sweater and jacket, of course.
It does run smaller but I wanted a bit more of a jacket fit so ordered a little larger
Not great
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
I ordered this b/c I love my husband's "Better Sweater". The black is not a rich, deep black. It rather has the appearance of a worn black sweatshirt (somewhat faded looking out of the bag). I agree with others - the fit is off. The sleeves were long. It seemed like it may be a men's fit? It fits like my husband's sweatshirts. It was also bulky and ill-fitting. I am 5'8", 145 lbs and normally wear a 6 or 8. I ordered a medium. It's going back.
Caris V.
Really the perfect fleece
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Love this fleece. It is not the least bit bulky, but it's still very warm and blocks wind better than my North Face fleece. The length of the sleeves is longer than most, but that is a great thing for us tall people. I've washed it a couple times and it's held up great, no shrinking or pilling so far!
Sarah S.
Better than playing with kittens
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
As soon as I put this sweater on, all of my hopes and dreams came true.
Inconsistent Fit-Disappointed
- Fit: Runs large
I have 4 Better Sweaters in various colors, all size S. They are wonderful! This one in Oasis Blue would have been my 5th. Unfortunately it is going back. Loved the style & color, but fit was off. Body and sleeves were much longer than usual. Sleeves have always been slightly long, but these fell past my fingertips. Not what I was expecting and not a good look.
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
A co-worker had the better sweater, and I loved it, so my husband and girls purchased the teal one for me for my birthday! I love, love, love it! I'm a size 0-2, and the XS fits great. The sleeves are just slightly long, but nothing major! The color, fit, and craftsmanship are awesome, and it's very warm and comfortable... one of my all-time favorite birthday gifts!
Dennis R Carlson
Awesome sweater jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Bought for wife this fall. She loves it. Just like all Patagonia products it is quality. Very warm and comfortable. She wears it under a shell for snowshoeing. Just right. Have had excellent service from Backcountry.
Christine B
Disappointment for the Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Color:Black Size XL
For the first week this sweater was nice. It was warm and soft and I loved it.. so I thought. Then it started pilling on the sleeves and where the pockets are.It started look really cheap and for spending $130 on a sweater I would expect a higher quality product. Maybe it was because of the color that you could see the pilling easier? I don't know but I am sad that I had to return it. Also the wind goes right though this as if you aren't wearing anything at all. I know it's not windproof but I've had sweaters that hold a little bit.
Rusty Piranha
Buy this
You will not be upset if you spend the money. Nice and warm
Anthony and Ashley South
She LOVES this fleece!
Jacket works great on a windy day on the west coast!
Anthony and Ashley South
Wife LOVES this Fleece!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
My wife has owned this fleece for nearly a year now & she loves this jacket more than she loves me! haha But really, it looks great, works wonderfully with layering & is built to last like every other Patagonia piece.
My wife lives in this fleece
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought this for my wife's birthday over a year ago and she has worn it nearly everyday since then. She is 5'3 110 lbs and the XS fits perfectly.
Courtney Bennett
Nice, but runs large
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
I'm 5'9" tall and 146 lbs and ordered the Large. It was too big and bulky. I already took the tags off, so I knew I couldn't return, but ordered a Medium which fits perfectly like a sweater should. The sweater does not look like traditional fleece at all, but much more upscale and refined looking. Very soft and warm.
Beth Wood
Do you still have the large?
I had the same problem. After calling Patagonia I found that with each size up you should add 2" to the sleeves and 2" to the sweater length.

If you are taking lithium, you
will need to have regular blood tests to monitor the level of lithium in your
blood. You may also need to have your thyroid gland and kidney function watched
during long-term use of lithium.
Keep the amount of sodium you get in
your diet the same. Your doctor will check the sodium levels in your blood to make sure the lithium
does not cause a side effect called hyponatremia (low sodium).
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.

A school bus passes in Araya, Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Bus drivers held a brief protest Saturday near the old Airport road in Beirut, asking the government to take immediate action against what they described as "illegal competition."
Around 50 drivers who gathered at 9 a.m. argued that foreign drivers, particularly Syrians, were illegally working in the country and using vehicles without Lebanese license plates.
They asked the concerned ministries to end what they described as "illegal competition eating away at their livelihood."

Georgetown is located at the confluence of the Pee Dee, Sampit, Waccamaw, and Black rivers, which join to form the Winyah Bay estuary. In the 1730s, colonial indigo and rice plantations began lining the waterways, and Georgetown's emerging port city became a hub of commerce and trade. As fortunes of the planters grew, Georgetown's population of merchants, shipbuilders, dockworkers, and laborers supporting agricultural commerce grew as well.
By the 1770s, rice overtook indigo as the cash crop of the lowcountry and Charleston became the more profitable seaport for planters of the Pee Dee. Georgetown's loss of commerce was offset somewhat by timber and turpentine produced from the vast forests of the Pee Dee, and a growing cotton industry.
Eventually world markets for rice shifted against US rice exports, and by the 1880s, rice was no longer the cash crop that once established Georgetown and its wealthy planter class. Georgetown geared its seaport toward the timber industry, and eventually toward paper and steel mills in the 20th century.
In the late 20th century, Georgetown, like many coastal South Carolina cities, began to attract residents and tourists to its historic and natural landscapes. Increased access to beaches, downtown revitalization projects, and a new "Harborwalk" added to the city's quality of living, and continue to draw newcomers to the third oldest town in South Carolina.

AT&T Digital Media Centers (maybe Comcast by meeting time) provides a unique view into large-scale channel origination, and what is possible and practical. Fred's presentation goes into the economics, the changing world of storage and program distribution, and technologies such as ASI and MPEG native environments that affect the broadcaster's choices and opportunities in the near DTV future.
Fred Baumgartner, AT&T Digital Media Centers
Current automation systems with user interfaces designed for single channel operation (i.e. one operator per channel), can accommodate limited multi-channel operation by adding additional operator positions or placing multiple control workstations at a single position. these solutions are often impractical due to the increased cost or operator overloading leading to on-air errors.
this paper will explore a new approach to the multi-channel operator interface utilizing exception-based display and control. This model combines dual touch-screen displays with an "active monitor wall" to create a heads up operator environment capable of controlling up to sixteen channels from a single position.

Systems management tools from the IT world, such as SNMO, provide a good foundation for a monitoring strategy but manager software has often proven too complex to be really useful for many broadcasters to deploy.
This paper will explore strategies that leverage these IT technologies and describes improvements that can be made to adapt these tools to the unique needs of the broadcast environment to provide efficient tools for managing increasingly sophisticated equipment in increasingly sophisticated facilities. Also reviewed are the basic set of requirements demanded by users for both in-service and out-of-service monitoring, diagnostics, tools to track and record equipment performance.
New facilities being built into DTV equipment can also assist software developers improving the quality of information that is reported to users through their user interfaces. These tools can speed diagnosis of system problems, improve maintenance records and enable manufacturers to improve their level of service to customers.
The paper will be illustrated with examples of new SNMP and Web-based tools that have been adapted to meet the unique needs of television users and improve acceptance of these technologies in the television environment.
Ray Baldock, Thomson-Grass Valley
Synchronization is one of the most fundamental and critical procedures in a video facility. Every device in a system must be synchronized in order to successfully create, transmit, and recover video pictures and audio information. The complexities of an analog and digital multi-standard, multi-format environment require flexibility to achieve and maintain synchronization in facilities that operate in a mix of formats.
Bill Cohn, Tektronix Corporation
Since that presentation, Panasonic has introduced a very well received cost-effective 3 CCD DV based camcorder that brings 24P capture to an entirely new group of users. This allows acquisition of material with the look of film, and, perhaps more importantly, allows those learning their craft and those shooting in situations where the camera is in jeopardy to acquire 24P images. This presentation will briefly review the use of 24P in the television industry, the desire for a "universal" HD entertainment acquisition format, and the development of the under-crank and over-crank HD technology since these elements form the basis of the "little" camcorder. The internal signal processing will be discussed as well as a unique approach to producing a compatible mini-DV tape that appears to be standard 60 field interlace while maintaining the 24P image structure for "extraction" by editing systems equipped for such extraction. Lastly, the processing of 24P images in the non-linear domain will be touched upon to show how either 24P or 60i can be used to create finished products that have seen favorable acceptance by the industry.
Phil Livingston, Panasonic
•What the new technology will enable: support for plug-ins of best-of-breed, multi-vendor applications across web, datacasting, wireless devices, television and radio.
•When technology is at its best: efficient news production workflow from acquisition to output, allowing each broadcaster to get maximum impact from their content.
•Strategies for greater productivity: how these advancements will allow small and large broadcasters to stay competitive.
•Competitive reporting and the new face of news: how newscasting needs have changed over the past year (to include webcasting for news).
•Conclusion: challenge and opportunity--evolving newsroom and distribution technologies are re-defining the face of the broadcast facility.

A five-stage depressed collector IOT, known as the Northrop Grumman Constant Efficiency Amplifier (CEA), obtains efficiencies of 50% - 63% over average power levels of 2 kW – 30 kW in 8VSB. Transmitter sites can now realize annual utility savings of 50% per installation in comparison to a standard IOT transmitter in DTV service. The presentation describes differences between Klystrons, IOT's and CEA's, theory of operation and operating requirements for the CEA. Actual test data will be shared.

Post: #34
RE: The Official Break Up Thread~
So I just wanna say this real quick. I know what I said hurt you and I'm sorry for that. You don't have to talk to me just... know I'm apologizing for what I said.
I wish I could be there to give you a very long hug that will never, ever let go. And I realize now that it isn't anyone's fault here. What happened happened and it's time to move on and be together again. You don't have to do that for me, and if you don't I won't be mad at you. I could never be mad at you. Ever. I love you.
Once a stone heart shattered and came along a true love so pure and sweet.

Tachypnea means rapid breathing (most normal newborns take 40 - 60 breaths per minute).I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Causes As the baby grows in the womb, the lungs make a special fluid. This fluid fills the developing baby's lungs and helps them grow. When the baby is born at term, chemicals released during labor tell the lungs to stop making this special fluid. The baby's lungs start removing or reabsorbing it.The first few breaths a baby takes after delivery fill the lungs with air and help to clear most of the remaining lung fluid.Leftover fluid in the lungs causes the baby to breathe rapidly. It is harder for the small air sacs of the lungs to stay open.Transient tachypnea is more likely to occur in babies who were:Born before 38 weeks gestation Delivered by C-section, especially if labor has not already started Born to a mother with diabetes Symptoms Newborns with transient tachypnea have breathing problems soon after birth, most often within 1 - 2 hours.Symptoms include:Bluish skin color (cyanosis) Rapid breathing, which may occur with noises such as grunting Flaring nostrils or movements between the ribs or breastbone known as retractions Exams and Tests The mother's pregnancy and labor history are important to make the diagnosis.Tests performed on the baby may include:Blood count and blood culture to rule out infection Chest x-ray to rule out other causes of breathing problems Continuous monitoring of the baby's oxygen levels, breathing, and heart rateThe diagnosis of transient tachypnea is most often made after the baby is monitored for 1 or 2 days. Treatment Your baby will be given oxygen to keep the blood oxygen level stable. Your baby will often need the most oxygen within a few hours after birth. The baby's oxygen needs will begin to decrease after that. Most infants with transient tachypnea improve in less than 12 - 24 hours.Very rapid breathing can cause the baby to feed poorly. Fluids and nutrients will be given through a vein until your baby improves. Your baby may also receive antibiotics until the health care provider is sure there is no infection. Rarely, babies with transient tachypnea will have lung problems that last for as long as a week or so. Outlook (Prognosis) The condition most often goes away within 24 - 48 hours after delivery.

REGION: El Nino could signal drought's end
But scientists, water officials caution against getting hopes up
Just as residents of San Diego and Riverside counties start adjusting to life with lawn-watering restrictions, there are signs California's drought may be coming to an end next winter.
Climate scientists say conditions are ripe for the formation of an El Nino over the Pacific Ocean, an intermittent weather condition that brings wet winters to the southern United States.
And that means there is a good chance Southern California will get above-normal rainfall next year.
It also means Mother Nature may dump huge amounts of snow on the Sierra Nevada mountains, the source of much of the region's water, though that is less certain, scientists say.
"There are no guarantees, but we're unlikely to have another dry winter," said Dave Pierce, climate researcher at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in a recent telephone interview.
Even if a flurry of storms were to deepen the snow drifts in the Sierra, there are no guarantees that watering rules would be lifted for summer 2010, local water officials said. That's because court-ordered restrictions on water deliveries from Northern California, which made this year's mild drought worse than it otherwise would have been, are expected to stay in place.
Still, there is reason to look forward to the weather phenomenon that tends to return every five years or so.
"It generally means significant drought relief for Southern California when you have an El Nino," said Doug LeComte, a drought expert with the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md.
"It greatly increases the odds for heavy rains in the southern part of the state next winter," he said.
Careful what you wish for
The emerging conditions in the central Pacific also could trigger a thickening of the Sierra snowpack in the northern part of the state, after three consecutive winters of below-normal snowfall.
But LeComte said the impact on snow amounts will depend on how large the El Nino becomes.
If it gets to be a monster like the one in 1997-98 that dumped more than 30 inches of rain on parts of Southern California, it would spread higher-than-normal precipitation all around the state, refilling parched reservoirs, LeComte said. Area residents receive a large chunk of their water from the Sierra.
A moderate El Nino, on the other hand, might only increase precipitation in Southern California without doing anything for points north.
Of course, the fledgling El Nino could do more than replenish reservoirs.
"Be careful what you wish for: You could get lots of flooding from El Nino, too," LeComte said.
Indeed, some of the region's worst floods occurred during storms spun off from El Ninos. An example was the massive January 1993 flood that left Old Town Temecula under 4 feet of water and mud.
El Nino is essentially a heating-up of ocean water along the equator, off the west coast of South America. It gets its name from the Spanish reference for the Christ child, because it tends to peak around Christmas.
But the condition begins building long before then.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!May 4th, 2014 at 9:06 pm by Tiffany Savona WAVY under Weather
After a pleasant weekend, I don't think anyone wants to hear about more rain and cooler weather back in the forecast for tomorrow. Too bad we can't just order more days like today! High temperatures on Saturday reached the mid to upper 70s and today we saw highs around 80° almost everywhere.
The good news is that Monday will not be a wash-out. Most of the day will stay dry. But it will be noticeably cooler thanks to a cold front that will move in tonight. The cold front should move through Virginia before midnight and across North Carolina shortly after midnight. Once the front moves in, the wind will shift and pick up in speed. Expect northerly winds behind the front to range between 10-20mph with higher gusts possible. Cooler air will move in and temperatures should drop into the mid 50s by Monday morning. Highs will only be in the mid 60s Monday afternoon, a good 15° cooler than today. Future Trak has a stray shower possible before 5 PM with better chances for rain Monday night. Here is Future Trak at 9 PM.
The rain becomes even more widespread by midnight and early Tuesday morning. I put this graphic together showing better rain chances Monday night and into Tuesday morning.
Speaking of rain, here are the stats showing how much above or below average we are for this year's rain totals. All locations are reporting above average rain totals for the year except for Elizabeth City and Wallops Island. But these 2 locations have improved greatly in a short amount of time.
With more rain and less wind in the forecast, the pollen count should come down a little bit Monday and Tuesday.

SIMULATIONS of accidents involving nuclear weapons have revealed that the UK authorities were not fully prepared to protect people from being exposed to radioactivity, according to confidential reports obtained by New Scientist.
The revelations come in the wake of reports that the UK is considering replacing its existing generation of nuclear warheads, which are attached to submarine-launched Trident missiles.
Because the warheads need to be constantly refurbished, batches are shuttled by road convoy several times a year between the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston in Berkshire and the Royal Naval Armament Depot at Coulport in Dumbartonshire.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) regularly runs exercises to evaluate how the armed forces, emergency services and local authorities would respond to accidents en route. The exercises imagine crashes in which trucks carrying nuclear bombs burn, explode and scatter plutonium downwind.
In response to a request from New Scientist under the Freedom of Information ...

after 30 min scoreless
Chelsea trying the same strategy that put them through against Barca, not that I blame them.
RIP Jacob Schlottke - 1984-2011
"If Cornell finishes ahead of Iowa with five all americans I'll jump into the Des Moines River after finals." -Herkey#1 8/16/12
you have to think that the pressure is more on Bayern at this point being in Germany & given their storied history. I am torn who to root for having a german AND english grandfather & having lived near Munich in the 80s & having lived in London in the 2000s.
According to ESPN, the key personell battle of the Champions League Final is Schweinsteiger v Mikel. Here's their breakdown:
Bayern's key player is Schweinsteiger, who at 27 has become the kind of strutting midfield general that Steffen Effenberg was for his club's 2001 championship team. Should he play well, then their chances are increased. When he does not play at all, then his team suffers. His job is to dictate the play, but in a far more dominant fashion than Mikel, whose sitting role involves him breaking up play and giving the ball sensibly. Indeed the Nigerian does not do it in quite as expansive a fashion as Schweinsteiger, whose equivalent is more likely to be Frank Lampard. Yet with Bayern expected to be on the front foot, Mikel is likely to need to be on his mettle, much improved as he is since Di Matteo took over from Villas-Boas.Although the match is in Bayern's backyard, the German Herald reported that Munich has already filled with English hooligans.
Police in Munich, Germany, say they have identified a further 150 "problem fans" from the UK heading to the match.According to betting books, here are the odds:
City police chief Robert Kopp said: "Safety is the highest priority. We will be taking measures to stop problem fans."
"We are expecting at least 25,000 fans from the UK.
"Of these we are sure the majority will be well behaved but we are expecting about 150 hard core troublemakers," he added.
Bayern's homefield advantage gives them favouritism at 1.80, with Chelsea rather backable at a price of 4.33 at bet365. A draw at full-time is 3.75. Fancy penalties? 12.00 for Bayern to win, 13.00 for Chelsea.
gomez blew that chance
Bayern is dominating so far
61% possession
15 shots to 2
8 corners to 0
actually looking like a classic chance for Chelsea to do exactly what they need to to steal this but I think Bayern is looking too good not to succeed.
+1 minute extra time
nil nil at halftime
60 minutes scoreless

The events of the last few weeks are still very fresh and raw, and I am sure that there will be many more statements, comments, theories, opinions and findings following the public relations debacle of the Ocearch research expedition in False Bay (and other locations along the South African coast) during the month of April, and the terrible loss of a local bodyboarder to a shark, on the eastern side of False Bay on Thursday.
I have been planning to write this for several weeks, and thinking about the the points I wanted to make, I think they're even more pertinent now. So here's my list of things I think that we can take note of, or remember, from the last few weeks of media back and forth surrounding the Shark Men research in False Bay:
Capetonians have strong feelings about "our" sharks. Some of us are protective of them and are suspicious of interference with the population around our coast, which explains the outcry when it was revealed (through various roundabout, accidental channels) that the former cast of the National Geographic Shark Men show was coming to Cape Town to hook, exhaust, remove from the water, sample, tag, release, and – it was thought, based on their track record elsewhere – potentially harm some of the white sharks that frequent Seal Island.
Opposition to the Shark Men project came from others, too, such as surfers, who are generally fearful of the sharks, and have concerns and opinions around the use of chum (I wrote about this yesterday) to attract sharks to boats for ecotourism and research purposes. Whether these feelings and opinions are based in fact or not, they are heartfelt and it is disrespectful to ignore them or dismiss them without an informed discussion.
There is not enough trust that the government will do what is in the best interests of both sharks and water users. This is born partly (and perhaps slightly unfairly since several different departments are involved) from a long list of high profile marine-related bunglings – the latest being:
The City of Cape Town, on the other hand, has shown itself to be even-handed, fair, rational and willing to listen to scientific opinion when managing its facilities and resources. Here's the City's assessment of Thursday's incident at Kogel Bay. It's a breath of fresh air, I think!
In almost all cases, too much information is better than too little. This follows on from the previous point. The history of official communication regarding activities in the multi-use area of False Bay is quite dismal:
In the case of the Ocearch project, I believe there would have been far less alarm and far fewer conspiracy theories had we known from the outset that some of our most respected shark scientists were involved and would be supervising the tagging activities. If the authorities are unable to cite any convincing research findings regarding the effects of chumming (although there have been several international studies, Dr Boyd was unable to recall any on CapeTalk on 13 April), then perhaps it would have been prudent to lay the available facts before water users regarding the forthcoming activities in the bay, and allow them to make decisions based on their personal tolerance for risk.
One might argue that speaking too much about sharks from public platforms creates fear in people's minds and brings them too much to the fore of beach and water users' consciousness, but in my experience the general public will talk and think about sharks anyway. They are a reality of living on the fringes of False Bay, and even when there is no shark-related news, they are still in people's minds. Providing facts gives the public a firm baseline from to discuss sharks, and being able to discuss issues of shark conservation, the risks to water users, and the effects of chumming with hard science to back it up will elevate the quality of dialogue among surfers, divers, beach users and all those Capetonians who think about sharks now and then.
As I said yesterday, we will never put the shark bites and chumming question to rest until we do some hard science to figure it out. That means tagging sharks – lots of them – in False Bay, with tags that allow us to monitor their behaviour both in the short (critical) and long term. Who will fund this research? It takes millions of rands to do something like this properly. The Ocearch project may have gone some way to answering this question, but we will now probably never know how far.
The science needs to be done carefully, for all the reasons I outline above. I thought the Save Our Seas statements regarding the recent research and subsequent incidents showed an extraordinary sensitivity to the complexity of the issues at hand. You can read the entire statement here, but in conclusion here's an excerpt:
Any activity with white sharks in the waters off of Cape Town should respect the delicate balance between humans and sharks. The best thing for shark conservation is safe beaches and bathers and it is important to work in these shared spaces with great care.
A study has been done on the effects of chumming in False Bay – click here to read about it!

In Vista, I changed the "Window" color in Appearance Settings to an off white, rather than stark, bright white in some Windows pages. The only app that presents any problem in, is Notepad. I don't print a lot from Notepad, but if I do, it prints the off white background color. I can't find any settings in Notepad or even a registry value to enable / disable printing the background.
Has anyone found a way to turn off printing the background in Notepad? I know there are Notepad replacements. The last thing I need is another app.
