Artistic research on the mythical past of a Soviet early-earning Radio Location Station (RLS) operating from 1967 – 1998 near Skrunda, Latvia. Internationally known as "henhouse" radars, these powerful transmitters – emitting impulse type signals, detected in the West as "woodpecker" – were allegedly responsible in the nineteen-seventies for shutting down radio transmissions all over the world on at least two occasions for up to seven minutes.

The rapper is looking to recreate his projectionist stunt once again over the course of tonight
Picture: Kanye West - Kanye West's Lamborghini Aventador has been removed from Kim Kardashian's home for repairs. The 50,000 car was hit by Kim's electric front...
Kanye West debuted the new song 'New Slaves' in the most Yeezey-est of styles last Friday; by projecting various images throughout a number of cities across the globe with the musical accompaniment of the track. Now, over the course of this weekend, the rapper plans on doing the same again.
The rapper updated his website today (May 24), a full week after the projection stunt, featuring a world map with various markings of where his next round of projections will take place over the coming days. The first set of projections are due to take place tonight across Europe, with the American screenings happening later this weekend (presumably tonight).
According to Def Jam France, the rapper will not be airing a new song, but rather will be re-playing 'New Slaves' again for those who missed it the first time round. The French division of the hip hop record label posted "Screening of #NewSlave #KanyeWest at the Palais des festivals in Cannes: 9.30 pm" on their Twitter this evening.
Yeezy, who's new album is brilliantly (depending on how you look at it) titled Yeezus, unveiled his first two tracks to the world last Saturday (May 18) when he played 'New Slaves' and 'Black Skinhead' on Saturday Night Live. The hip hop superstar is planning on going on tour straight after he releases the long-awaited Yeesuz, with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian and their newborn baby joining him.
Watch Kanye perform 'New Slaves' on SNL last weekend
Kanye will pull his projection stunt again tonight.

The capacity to assess binding of potential inhibitory compounds to specific epigenetic proteins in a cellular format allows for the generation of more in-vivo-like data. This scientific poster from BioTek presents the automation and detection of a simple, robust cell-based assay procedure, involving G9a and BET bromodomain proteins, to achieve this objective. The combination of assay chemistry, as well as liquid handling and detection instrumentation, create a simple, yet robust and definitive cell-based solution for the identification of inhibitory compounds of these important epigenetic targets.

Two PBS programs focus on Blues and the Jazz AgeSubmitted by bwood on Tue, 2011-09-27 15:16
PBS has two programs in the coming week that focus on New Orleans Blues and the Jazz Age. This Friday, September 30 at 9pm (Eastern), British actor Hugh Laurie showcases his musical side in a Great Performances episode filmed in New Orleans. October 2-4, 8-10pm nightly, brings Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick's Prohibition, about the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution and its effect on (or creation of) the Jazz Age.
Laurie says he finds his greatest satisfaction and inspiration from the mixture of blues and jazz that grew out of New Orleans at the beginning of the last century. This Great Performances, "Let Them Talk," includes documentary and interview segments during Laurie's travels around the city. The program features his performances with blues legends Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas, as well as a fellow countryman Sir Tom Jones. With concert sequences filmed at the historic Latrobe's building in the French Quarter, the musical selections include New Orleans blues standards along with some forgotten and neglected gems.
On Friday at 6:30pm, tune into WBGO for the WBGO Journal as TV Guide's Bruce Fretts stops by to preview Prohibition. Ken Burns will also be a guest on Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio on WBGO Jazz88.3FM on Monday, October 3 at 6:30pm.

An Interview With Brian BladeSubmitted by jjackson on Tue, 2008-06-17 10:32
Drummer and composer Brian Blade brings the Fellowship Band to the Village
Vanguard this week. We are presenting them live on WBGO and NPR Music,
tomorrow night at 9pm. Don't miss this.
It's never an easy interview when your guest is a quiet, introspective person.
But Brian and I share a passion for music made intently and intensely. I
suppose that's why I love listening to The Fellowship Band. Especially when
they play at the Village Vanguard.
Anyway, listen to Brian Blade talk about music. My favorite story? One night,
just before midnight, Brian biked through the French Quarter in New Orleans.
He absolutely had to buy a Blind Willie Johnson record before the store closed.
So Brian gets home, plays the music, and cannot go to bed. The bare sound
of Johnson and his guitar was haunting. One of many stories you'll find when
you listen to the interview here.
Allen Toussaint Talks About Bo DiddleySubmitted by jjackson on Mon, 2008-06-02 17:45
Bo Diddley died this morning. I learned about his death en route to an interview with Allen Toussaint, the legendary New Orleans R&B producer. Toussaint, himself a fellow member of the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, shared some beautiful thoughts about the legendary Bo Diddley.
Hear what he had to say.
Great Live Moments - Hilton RuizSubmitted by jjackson on Wed, 2008-04-30 00:21
So how can we say something so real has really gone away?
I hear him now, I always will
Believe me I remember Hilton still.
Those are actually the lyrics to "I Remember Clifford," one of the enduring jazz ballads by Benny Golson. With one modification. The name.
It should not go unnoticed that nearly two years ago, Hilton Ruiz lay unconscious on Bourbon Street in my hometown. What particularly stings me is that he was in New Orleans working on a benefit CD for and video about Hurricane Katrina victims.
It reminds me of a quote attributed to Dizzy Gillespie:
"Men have died for this music. You can't get more serious than that."
In 1986, Hilton Ruiz played the Steinway B in our performance studio.
Listen to "I Remember Clifford" from the WBGO Archives.
Jazz on the BrainSubmitted by jjackson on Wed, 2008-03-05 23:14
People who know me will tell you I always have jazz on the brain. Guilty as charged. Recently, scientists studied improvising musicians, hoping to unlock the underlying neurological functions of high and low level musical improvisation. A summation of the study is here.
Turns out all you have to do is turn off your prefrontal cortex (can an Idiot's Guide to Turning Off Your Prefrontal Cortex be far behind?).
This study reminds me of a conversation I had with the New Orleans writer, performer, and creator Kalamu Ya Salaam. One night on Rampart Street, at a club called The Funky Butt, I watched in awe as Kalamu performed an original poem in a style similar to the way that pianist Cecil Taylor played his music. Kalamu and I worked together at WWOZ in New Orleans. One night, during his Thursday evening Kitchen Sink show, I asked him how he could do such things.
He said, "There's an invisible button located on your forehead. It controls the part of your brain that says you cannot do something. Turn it off."
Davell Crawford at Baryshnikov Arts CenterSubmitted by jjackson on Mon, 2008-01-28 15:06
WBGO and the Jazz Foundation of America partnered with Baryshnikov Arts Center to present another night of free live music. Gary Walker hosted the evening, which featured a concert an interview session with the New Orleans pianist and wunderkind, Davell Crawford.
Listen to the concert here.
And if you missed the Henry Butler show at BAC,
You can still hear it here.

Dalai Lama to headline Indian literature festival
JAIPUR, India (AP) - The Dalai Lama is set to headline India's Jaipur Literature Festival to speak about faith with one of his biographers, Pico Iyer.
The Tibetan spiritual leader will hold a session on the festival's first day, Thursday, titled: `'Kinships of Faiths: Finding the Middle Way."
Last year's festival featured Oprah Winfrey and literary stars Michael Ondaatje and Tom Stoppard.
Author Salman Rushdie had to cancel his appearance last year due to protests and threats linked to his book "The Satanic Verses," which some Muslims consider blasphemous.
This year's festival will also feature author Zoe Heller and Booker Prize winner Howard Jacobson.

Fitbit warns against highly competitive factors like Apple Watch in IPO filing
Earlier today, fitness tracker hardware and software company Fitbit filed to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. Since the regulatory filing went public, observers have been scouring the paperwork for information on Fitbit's financials, sales numbers, and notes about the competition. The Financial Times's Tim Bradshaw noticed that that Fitbit cites Apple and the recently-launched Apple Watch as the top billed competitor in the IPO Risk Factors section:
App Store revenue likely to double by 2018, generating $20B – IDC/App Annie
Data from IDC and App Annie suggested that both Apple and Google are likely to see their app store revenues doubling within the next four years, reports Re/code. Based on Apple's 2014 total revenue of $10B, this would suggest that Apple is likely to hit total revenue of $20B in 2018, with developers seeing $14B of it.
"I would consider this projection conservative," App Annie CEO Bertrand Schmitt said in an interview, noting that the company has consistently been revising its forecasts up over the past two years as revenue has exceeded expectations.
The study also suggested that the trend toward freemium apps, which derive their income from in-app purchases, will continue–though this model is more common on Android than iOS … Read more
Apple airs filmmaking iPad ad narrated by Martin Scorsese for the Oscars
On the day of the annual Academy Awards ceremony, Apple has begun airing a new iPad Air advertisement highlighting how the tablet is used in the filmmaking industry. The new video advertisement is narrated with excerpts from notable movie director Martin Scorsese's 2014 commencement speech at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. The video, embedded below, is accompanied by a website highlighting specific stories of the iPad being used to make movies. These video stories were actually filmed and edited on iPads. The new website also discusses key video planning, filming, and editing applications for the iPad such as Final Draft, Garageband (but not the consumer-focused iMovie), and VideoGrade. This film-focused advertisement follows a music-oriented one that aired on the day of the Grammy Awards.
Review: Harman Kardon Esquire Mini is the best iPhone speakerphone you can fit in your pocket
not me
I reviewed two portable Bluetooth speakerphone options earlier this year: The Philips WeCall ($145) vs. Logitech P710e ($125) . Both are square and have internal batteries and make conference calling easy. But for their ~$150 price tag, I wondered if you could get more portability and style without sacrificing sound quality.
The answer to those questions is the Harman Kardon Esquire line of portable speakerphones. Below, I take a look at the Esquire Mini which retails for $149.99 and can be found as low as $145 at Amazon or $135 at World Wide Stereo. Read more
Predicted cannibalisation of iPads by larger iPhones underway as iPhone 6/Plus changes browsing habits
Predictions that larger-screened iPhones would cannibalise iPad usage look to be confirmed by some stats from the Pocket app that allows you to save webpages, videos and other content for reading later.
Pocket reported in a blog post today that while 55% of owners of the iPhone 5s viewed content on their phone rather than iPad, the number leapt to 72% for the iPhone 6 and 80% for the iPhone 6 Plus …

Upcoming Bluetooth Apple-branded Beats Solo2 headphones revealed by FCC
Apple and its Beats by Dre group seem to be close to announcing a new pair of headphones: a Bluetooth version of their popular Solo2 headphones. Earlier this year, Beats launched the Solo2 wired earphones as a cheaper alternative to the Studio cans. Today, a wireless version has been revealed thanks to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) testing department.
As can be seen in the image above from today's FCC filing, the design of the wireless model is akin to the wired model. The only difference appears to be the Bluetooth connectivity. The documents specify that Bluetooth 4.0 Low-Energy technology is utilized.
Interestingly, these documents indicate that these headphones are Apple-branded:
Guess Watches CEO pretends she welcomes the Apple Watch as she announces GUESS's smartwatch plans
If you're the CEO of a watch company, you likely watched the announcement of the Apple Watch with a mixture of optimism and fear. Optimism because Apple just made watches cool again in a market where many people haven't worn one for years. Fear because most of those who now have a renewed interest in watches aren't going to buy yours.
Guess Watches CEO Cindy Livingston put a brave face on it with a letter welcoming Tim Cook to the watch industry (full version below) as she announced the company plans to make a smartwatch of its own … Read more
Review: Europe's answer to Nest, Tado the iPhone-controlled intelligent thermostat
This review has been updated a year in, with an improved thermostat with built-in display and touch-sensitive controls, and new fuel-saving figures.
Affordable home automation has been a long time coming. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed that it's the 21st Century and homes still don't have Star Trek style swishy doors as standard.
But iPhone-controlled heating and lighting is here today. Nest hasn't yet made it to the UK, so I decided to try out competitor system Tado, which is available in Europe now.
In the UK, it costs £199 if your system already has a wired thermostat, or £278 if it doesn't. Alternatively, you can rent Tado for either £4.99 or £7.98/month. Looking at my own energy usage before and after, the payback time is a little under three years.
The concept
The idea behind Tado is three-fold. First, automation. As well as the programmable timer you have in any heating system, it also monitors the locations of everyone in the household via their iPhones (or Android phones). If everyone is out, it turns down the heating even if the timer says it should be on.
How much it turns it down depends on how far away you are, because it aims to have it back up to temperature by the time you return. Nip out to the local grocery store, and it won't adjust it much, drive an hour to work and it'll turn it down a lot … Read more
Amazon goes big with unlimited cloud music storage ($20/year) and iPad optimized web player
Amazon today announced unlimited storage for music in its cloud drive. The catch is you have to upgrade your overall Cloud storage (also includes Docs, Pictures, movies, etc) to the 20GB plan which is $20 per year. Once you do that, you can upload "Unlimited" amounts of music and play it anywhere. So, this appears to be taking on Spotify, Google and Apple's iTunes Match (though each service is slightly different).
Speaking of Apple, the Amazon Cloud web experience is now also optimized for the iPad. Full press release below:
Comcast promises hours and hours of on-demand iPad TV!
You like movies? We like movies. We all like movies and now it seems Comcast has a super plan which means you'll be watching huge amounts of video content on your iPad. Hooray! Read more

Tend To Your Garden Within
by Shervin Hojat, Ph.D.
A child's Christmas memories.
Four year old Joey is full of energy as he runs up the stairs to bed. His mommy and daddy told him to go to bed early because Santa was coming. He rushes into his bedroom followed by his mother. With a big smile Joey climbs into bed and covers himself without the help of his mother. Hugging his teddy bear around its neck until it bends he pretends to go to sleep instantly. His mother, smiling, bends and gives him a kiss on his forehead.
With his eyes closed and a large smile on his face he says loudly, �night mommy.�
�Shh..you�ll wake your sister.�
Joey looks over at his sister who is fast asleep having gone to bed an hour before.
Joey talks in a low whisper, �Okay.�
He giggles as he snuggles into his covers.
His mother walks to the lightswitch and looks back at her son with a loving smile.
�Goodnight, Joey.�
Joey, who is a natural comedian, starts a fake snore.
His mother smiles and turns the light off as she leaves the room.
Hours later Joey begins to stir in his bed. The room is nearly dark but for a sliver of moonlight. It slices through the blackness and leaves a silvery line on the floor next to his bed. Joey sits up in bed and looks over at his eight year old sister, Becky. She is sleeping soundly covered in her favorite pink blanket. Looking around the room he can just make out his stuffed animal and little chair in the dark.
He notices something through their open door; colored flashing lights are coming from the hallway. What is that? Grabbing his teddy bear, Joey slides out of bed backward until his feet touch the floor. Quickly he looks around the room for any monsters that might be lurking in the dark or in the closet. It is quiet and the closet door is closed, the monsters are all sleeping.
Hugging his teddy bear for courage, he promptly sticks his thumb in his mouth and steps toward the door. Stumbling a bit over some toys he left on the floor for dad to step on, (I remember) he reaches the door to his room. The colored lights are brighter now. What are they?
Peaking around the door into his mommy�s and daddy�s room he sees that the light is off, they are asleep. He walks quickly, his footy pajamas making a padding sound on the hardwood floors. After he passes their room he does not hear his father�s deep voice say, �He�s up.�
�I know,� the mother says.
Joey reaches the living room where he sees a wondrous sight. The Christmas tree, with its sparkling ornaments and flowing tinsel, is standing like a giant in the dark. It dazzles his eyes and mind as he stands before it. Wow! And under the tree are multi-colored packages of all shapes and sizes. The tree lights shine down on them making the colored paper almost glow and saying to him, open me. Remember?
Kneeling in front of them, thumb in mouth, Joey wonders which ones are his. Forgetting his fear of the dark, he drops his bear to the floor and inches closer. A tag dangles from the corner of the biggest one. He knows the letters of his name because mommy taught him. There is a J�and an O�E . He does not finish, it�s his present.
Too involved with the present, he does not see his mom and dad watching him from the shadows. Dad says something but she raises her hand to stop him. �Wait,� she whispers.
Joey moves closer, becoming bolder. Touching a corner he begins to pull then stops. He remembers that when he tried it before mommy told him to wait until tomorrow. But he cannot wait. Reaching up again he pulls a little harder and the paper tears.
Suddenly, a voice from behind him says, �Joey, what are you doing up?�
Joey jumps to his feet afraid because he was caught at something he knew he shouldn�t be doing.
He tries to dismiss his crime, �Mommy, look at all the presents.� He kneels next to the one he was trying to open and points at it, �And �dis big one is for me!�
The mother walks down the stairs and over to him. She bends down to face her son.
Mother says, �I know, Santa put it there.�
In the dark his mother can see a cute little smile come over her son�s face. She hugs him to her chest with pride, takes his hand, �Come on, back to bed� and leads him back to his room. As they walk Joey looks over his shoulder at his present then up at his mother. He says in a puppy like manner, �Mommy, can I sleep in your bed tonight?� A deep groan comes from his father as they pass.

It was nice to go back and check in on the game after its official release, but I didn't find much difference. Sure, the cash shop is now open (will explain that later), and yes, there are actual players around now, but it's still basically a cute little tear-'em-up that will probably make millions. If you like this kind of game, you'll love Elsword Online.
Click past the cut to read more.
"Odd monsters -- what appear to be aardvarks with backpacks on, giant moss-covered guardian types, strange stick-figure minions that sound like two broomsticks hitting concrete when they walk -- who thinks of these things?"
The 2-D side-scrolling action games seem to be all the rage with the kids these days, as well. The makers of Elsword are some of the same people who brought you Grand Chase, a hugely successful 2-D scroller. Perhaps it's because of the game's ability to be played on almost any PC, or perhaps it's due to the adorable art style, but the side-scrollers are having a very good year so far.
Of course, it could be the fact that even I, someone who mostly despises anime because of its ability to continue to rip itself off to the point that it has become a self-parody, found myself zoning out, open-mouthed and dry-eyed for quite a long time while playing the game.
The lights.
The sounds.
The massive swords.
The adorable monsters.
Some of the boss monsters are downright massive, and I'm sure that they will only get bigger. If you are mindful and watch for it, each boss gives some sort of sign or two before firing off its main salvo of pain. Simply keep an eye out, dodge the attack, and continue pummeling. It's more fun than I describe. Also, be sure to hang out in groups if you can. I rarely did during my time with the game, but when I did it was much more fun. I have said this in the past as though it is some kind of revelation, but grouping truly does make things better. Even the most solo-friendly game is more fun in a group, so try to bring a friend or two with you into the world of Elsword.
I didn't spend much time with the cash shop, but it seemed to sell mostly harmless fluff items, experience potions and the like. I am bound and determined to go back and outfit my character with more of the appearance armor, though, simply because when making a character you can only choose from one of three standard, gender-locked classes. You'll find plenty of carbon-copies of yourself, so appearance armor is the only way to look different. The game is a relatively easy download (if I remember correctly, though, it used the horrific Pando Media Booster) and runs on anything. It would make a perfect game for an iPad or similar portable device, so here's hoping for the future. Until then, Elsword Online is standard anime, semi-standard side-scroller, and a lot of fun. It's easy to pick up and go, so just keep an eye on the clock... it will suck away your time.

ABSTRACT: Life on Earth is capable of growing from temperatures well below freezing to above the boiling point of water, with some organisms preferring cooler and others hotter conditions. The growth rate of each organism ultimately depends on its intracellular chemical reactions. Here we show that a thermodynamic model based on a single, rate-limiting, enzyme-catalysed reaction accurately describes population growth rates in 230 diverse strains of unicellular and multicellular organisms. Collectively these represent all three domains of life, ranging from psychrophilic to hyperthermophilic, and including the highest temperature so far observed for growth (122°C). The results provide credible estimates of thermodynamic properties of proteins and obtain, purely from organism intrinsic growth rate data, relationships between parameters previously identified experimentally, thus bridging a gap between biochemistry and whole organism biology. We find that growth rates of both unicellular and multicellular life forms can be described by the same temperature dependence model. The model results provide strong support for a single highly-conserved reaction present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA). This is remarkable in that it means that the growth rate dependence on temperature of unicellular and multicellular life forms that evolved over geological time spans can be explained by the same model.PLoS ONE 05/2014; 9(5):e96100.

ABSTRACT: We review early work on the microbial growth curve and the concept of balanced growth followed by commentary on the stringent response and persister cells. There is a voluminous literature on the effect of antibiotics on resistance and persistence and we call for a greater focus in food microbiology on the effect of biocides in the same context. We also raise potential issues in development of resistance arising from "source–sink" dynamics and from horizontal gene transfer. Redox potential is identified as crucial in determining microbial survival or death, and the recently postulated role for reactive oxygen species in signalling also considered."Traditional" predictive microbiology is revisited with emphasis on temperature dependence. We interpret the temperature vs growth rate curve as comprising 11 regions, some well-recognised but others leading to new insights into physiological responses. In particular we are intrigued by a major disruption in the monotonic rate of inactivation at a temperature, slightly below the actual maximum temperature for growth. This non-intuitive behaviour was earlier reported by other research groups and here we propose that it results from a rapid metabolic switch from the relaxed growth state to the stringent survival state.Finally, we envision the future of predictive microbiology in which models morph from empirical to mechanistic underpinned by microbial physiology and bioinformatics to grow into Systems Biology.Food Control 02/2013; 29(2):290–299.

ABSTRACT: Mathematical models exist that quantify the effect of temperature on poikilotherm growth rate. One family of such models assumes a single rate-limiting 'master reaction' using terms describing the temperature-dependent denaturation of the reaction's enzyme. We consider whether such a model can describe growth in each domain of life. A new model based on this assumption and using a hierarchical Bayesian approach fits simultaneously 95 data sets for temperature-related growth rates of diverse microorganisms from all three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. Remarkably, the model produces credible estimates of fundamental thermodynamic parameters describing protein thermal stability predicted over 20 years ago. The analysis lends support to the concept of universal thermodynamic limits to microbial growth rate dictated by protein thermal stability that in turn govern biological rates. This suggests that the thermal stability of proteins is a unifying property in the evolution and adaptation of life on earth. The fundamental nature of this conclusion has importance for many fields of study including microbiology, protein chemistry, thermal biology, and ecological theory including, for example, the influence of the vast microbial biomass and activity in the biosphere that is poorly described in current climate models.PLoS ONE 02/2012; 7(2):e32003.

ABSTRACT: Inferential techniques of numerical classification and principal coordinate analysis have been used to interpret data obtained on the Zn, Cd, and Cu concentration of 48 samples of oysters, comprising 473 individuals, grown at a variety of places around the Tasmanian coastline. A close association was obtained between proximity to heavily urbanized areas and concentration of metals found, oysters growing nearest urban areas having the highest concentrations of one or more of the metals. It appears that areas for commercial oyster growing should be sought in regions far from centers of urbanization and industrialization. Examination of samples of native oysters could be useful in providing an index or measure of environmental pollution.04/2011; 31(7):1165-1171. DOI:10.1139/f74-138

Article: Comparison of Arrhenius‐type and Bêlehrádek‐type models for prediction of bacterial growth in foods[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: D.A. RATKOWSKY, T. ROSS, T.A. WCMEEKIN AND J. OLLEY. 1991. The development of Arrhenius-type ('Schoolfield') and Bêlehrádek-type (square root) models that describe microbial growth rates is briefly described. Both types of model have been advocated for use in predictive microbiology. On the basis of published data sets for the growth of bacteria, the consequences of mathematical transformation of data and the use of invalid stochastic assumptions upon model predictions are demonstrated. Mean square error is shown to be an inappropriate criterion by which to compare the performance of predictive models. The data show that bacterial growth responses such as generation time and lag time become more variable as their mean magnitude increases. The practical consequences of such variability for predictive microbiology are discussed.Journal of Applied Microbiology 03/2008; 71(5):452 - 459.

Article: Unifying temperature effects on the growth rate of bacteria and the stability of globular proteins.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The specific growth rate constant for bacterial growth does not obey the Arrhenius-type kinetics displayed by simple chemical reactions. Instead, for bacteria, steep convex curves are observed on an Arrhenius plot at the low- and high-temperature ends of the biokinetic range, with a region towards the middle of the growth range loosely approximating linearity. This central region has been considered by microbiologists to be the "normal physiological range" for bacterial growth, a concept whose meaningfulness we now question. We employ a kinetic model incorporating thermodynamic terms for temperature-induced enzyme denaturation, central to which is a term to account for the large positive heat capacity change during unfolding of the proteins within the bacteria. It is now widely believed by biophysicists that denaturation of complex proteins and/or other macromolecules is due to hydrophobic hydration of non-polar compounds. Denaturation is seen as the process by which enthalpic and entropic forces becomes imbalanced both at high and at low temperatures resulting in conformational changes in the enzyme structure that expose hydrophobic amino acid groups to the surrounding water molecules. The "thermodynamic" rate model, incorporating the heat capacity change and its effect on the enthalpy and entropy of the system, fitted 35 sets of data for psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria well, resulting in biologically meaningful estimates for the important thermodynamic parameters. As these results mirror those obtained by biophysicists for globular proteins, it appears that the same or a similar mechanism applies to bacteria as applies to proteins.Journal of Theoretical Biology 05/2005; 233(3):351-62.

Article: Variation of branched-chain fatty acids marks the normal physiological range for growth in Listeria monocytogenes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The fatty acid composition of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A was determined by close-interval sampling over the entire biokinetic temperature range. There was a high degree of variation in the percentage of branched-chain fatty acids at any given temperature. The percentage of branched C17 components increased with growth temperature in a linear manner. However, the percentages of iso-C15:0 (i15:0) and anteiso-C15:0 (a15:0) were well described by third-order and second-order polynomial curves, respectively. There were specific temperature regions where the proportion of branched-chain fatty acids deviated significantly from the trend established over the entire growth range. In the region from 12 to 13 degrees C there were significant deviations in the percentages of both i15:0 and a15:0 together with a suggested deviation in a17:0, resulting in a significant change in the total branched-chain fatty acids. In the 31 to 33 degrees C region the percentage of total branched-chain components exhibited a significant deviation. The observed perturbations in fatty acid composition occurred near the estimated boundaries of the normal physiological range for growth.Applied and Environmental Microbiology 07/2002; 68(6):2809-13.

ABSTRACT: This review considers the concept and history of predictive microbiology and explores aspects of the modelling process including kinetic and probability modelling approaches. The "journey" traces the route from reproducible responses observed under close to optimal conditions for growth, through recognition and description of the increased variability in responses as conditions become progressively less favourable for growth, to defining combinations of factors at which growth ceases (the growth/no growth interface). Death kinetics patterns are presented which form a basis on which to begin the development of nonthermal death models. This will require incorporation of phenotypic, adaptive responses and may be influenced by factors such as the sequence in which environmental constraints are applied. A recurrent theme is that probability (stochastic) approaches are required to complement or replace kinetic models as the growth/no growth interface is approached and microorganisms adopt a survival rather than growth mode.

ABSTRACT: The shelf life of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) portions produced for retail distribution is examined and the dominant aerobic spoilage organism is identified. Characterization of the harvesting and processing operations allow the development of a stochastic mathematical model, a process risk model (PRM), which predicts the range of the possible shelf life for the portions under normal retail and distribution. The considered risk is the failure to achieve the nominal 'use by' date. Bacterial counts from surface swabs, water, ice, and fish samples, collected over a period of 9 months, are fitted to distribution functions for use within the model. Comparisons are made between the distributions fitted to the observed bacterial levels and the predicted levels for the slurry water, initial surface contamination on the fish, and for the predicted and observed shelf life. Storage temperature of the packaged salmon portions has the greatest influence on shelf life, with contamination from contact surfaces and other sources being the next most important. The range of bacterial counts on the portions was between -0.6 and 5 log10 cfu/cm2. The model predicts bacterial counts in the slurry water to have an average value of 3.36 log10 cfu/ml, whereas the observed slurry water bacterial counts were 3.35 log10 cfu/ml. The predicted average initial bacterial contamination is 3.31 log10 cfu/cm2 on the fish surface and 3.23 log10 cfu/cm2 on the observed. The average predicted shelf life is 6.5 days, compared to an observed value of 6.2 days at 4 degrees C.International Journal of Food Microbiology 03/2002; 73(1):47-60.

Article: Effect of Temperature and Salinity Stress on Growth and Lipid Composition of Shewanella gelidimarina[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The maximum growth temperature, the optimal growth temperature, and the estimated normal physiological range for growth of Shewanella gelidimarina are functions of water activity (aw), which can be manipulated by changing the concentration of sodium chloride. The growth temperatures at the boundaries of the normal physiological range for growth were characterized by increased variability in fatty acid composition. Under hyper- and hypoosmotic stress conditions at an aw of 0.993 (1.0% [wt/vol] NaCl) and at an aw of 0.977 (4.0% [wt/vol] NaCl) the proportion of certain fatty acids (monounsaturated and branched-chain fatty acids) was highly regulated and was inversely related to the growth rate over the entire temperature range. The physical states of lipids extracted from samples grown at stressful aw values at the boundaries of the normal physiological range exhibited no abrupt gel-liquid phase transitions when the lipids were analyzed as liposomes. Lipid packing and adaptational fatty acid composition responses are clearly influenced by differences in the temperature-salinity regime, which are reflected in overall cell function characteristics, such as the growth rate and the normal physiological range for growth.Applied and Environmental Microbiology 07/2000; DOI:10.1128/AEM.66.6.2422-2429.2000 · 3.95 Impact Factor
Article: Development and evaluation of a predictive model for the effect of temperature and water activity on the growth rate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The growth rates of four strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were measured and compared in a model broth system. The results for the fastest growing strain, based on 77 combinations of temperature and water activity (aw) using NaCl as the humectant, were summarised in the form of a predictive mathematical model. The model, of the square-root type includes a novel term to describe the effects of super-optimal water activity, and can be used to predict generation times for the temperature range (8-45 degrees C) and water activity range (0.936-0.995) which permit growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Predicted generation times from the model were compared to literature data, using bias and accuracy factors, for both laboratory media and foods. The model was shown to give realistic growth estimates, with a bias value of 1.01, and an accuracy factor of 1.38.International Journal of Food Microbiology 09/1997; 38(2-3):133-42.

ABSTRACT: Because microorganisms are easily dispersed, display physiologic diversity, and tolerate extreme conditions, they are ubiquitous and may contaminate and grow in many food products. The behavior of microbial populations in foods (growth, survival, or death) is determined by the properties of the food (e.g., water activity and pH) and the storage conditions (e.g., temperature, relative humidity, and atmosphere). The effect of these properties can be predicted by mathematical models derived from quantitative studies on microbial populations. Temperature abuse is a major factor contributing to foodborne disease; monitoring temperature history during food processing, distribution, and storage is a simple, effective means to reduce the incidence of food poisoning. Interpretation of temperature profiles by computer programs based on predictive models allows informed decisions on the shelf life and safety of foods. In- or on-package temperature indicators require further development to accurately predict microbial behavior. We suggest a basis for a "universal" temperature indicator. This article emphasizes the need to combine kinetic and probability approaches to modeling and suggests a method to define the bacterial growth/no growth interface. Advances in controlling foodborne pathogens depend on understanding the pathogens' physiologic responses to growth constraints, including constraints conferring increased survival capacity.Emerging infectious diseases 01/1997; 3(4):541-9.

Article: Application of predictive microbiology to assure the quality and safety of fish and fish products.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Predictive microbiology offers an alternative to traditional microbiological assessment of food quality and safety. The concept is that a detailed knowledge of the microbial ecology of a food product can be expressed as a mathematical model to enable objective evaluation of the effect of processing, storage and distribution operations on microbial development. Experience to date indicates the need initially to derive a mathematical model in laboratory studies, to validate the model in food products and to incorporate the information into monitoring devices. These may be chemical or physical indicators or electronic integrators or loggers. To enable a correct decision on quality or safety, it is essential that the response of the monitoring device to environmental changes mimics exactly that of the organism of concern. Most monitoring devices currently available record temperature history, but not other environmental factors that influence growth and that, in some circumstances, change during storage. The next generation of monitoring devices may be required to monitor several parameters to take full advantage of increasingly accurate and sophisticated models.International Journal of Food Microbiology 01/1992; 15(1-2):13-32.

Article: Model for combined effect of temperature and salt concentration/water activity on the growth rate of Staphylococcus xylosus.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The combined effect of temperature and NaCl concentration/water activity on the growth rate of a strain of halotolerant Staphylococcus is described by the square-root models which had been used previously to model temperature dependence only. The model square root r = b(T-T min) is shown to be a special case of the Bĕlehrádek temperature function which is given by r = a(T-alpha)d. The constant alpha is the socalled 'biological zero' and equivalent to T min in the square-root models. This and the exponent d = 2 were unaffected by changing NaCl concentration/water activity. The Bĕlehrádek-type equations are preferable to the Arrhenius equation in that their parameters do not change with temperature. The constancy of T min allows derivation of a simple expression relating growth rate of strain CM21/3 to temperature and salt concentration/water activity within the range of linear response to temperature predicted by the square-root model.The Journal of applied bacteriology 07/1987; 62(6):543-50.

ABSTRACT: The Arrhenius Law, which was originally proposed to describe the temperature dependence of the specific reaction rate constant in chemical reactions, does not adequately describe the effect of temperature on bacterial growth. Microbiologists have attempted to apply a modified version of this law to bacterial growth by replacing the reaction rate constant by the growth rate constant, but the modified law relationship fits data poorly, as graphs of the logarithm of the growth rate constant against reciprocal absolute temperature result in curves rather than straight lines. Instead, a linear relationship between in square root of growth rate constant (r) and temperature (T), namely, square root = b (T - T0), where b is the regression coefficient and T0 is a hypothetical temperature which is an intrinsic property of the organism, is proposed and found to apply to the growth of a wide range of bacteria. The relationship is also applicable to nucleotide breakdown and to the growth of yeast and molds.Journal of Bacteriology 02/1982; 149(1):1-5. · 2.69 Impact Factor
Article: Temperature function integration and the development and metabolism of poultry spoilage bacteria.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The rate of spoilage of chicken tissues, the development of spoilage bacteria, and the utilization of amino acids by spoilage bacteria as a function of temperature were more accurately described by the general spoilage curve of Olley and Ratkowsky (Food Technol. Aust. 25:66-73, 1973; Food Technol. N.Z. 8:13-17, 1973) than by the linear equation of Spencer and Baines (Food Technol. [Chicago] 18:175-179, 1964). Remaining shelf life of poultry tissues may be predicted at temperatures up to 16 degrees C by using a temperature function integrator which incorporates the general spoilage curve.Applied and Environmental Microbiology 12/1978; 36(5):650-4. · 3.95 Impact Factor

ADP Survey Finds Health Care Reform And Increasing Compliance Complexity May Drive Outsourcing Of Benefits Administration
Monday, May 07, 2012
ADP Survey Finds Health Care Reform And Increasing Compliance Complexity May Drive Outsourcing Of Benefits Administration09:00 EDT Monday, May 07, 2012Companies Say Regulatory Changes Make them More Likely to OutsourceROSELAND, N.J., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new ADP® survey shows that health care reform and compliance complexity are leading more companies to re-think how they administer benefits and to consider outsourcing the function.To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/55804-adp-survey-regulatory-changes-outsourcing-benefits-administration Part of this shift is being driven by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Forty-five percent of HR/benefits decision makers in midsized companies and 54 percent in large companies report that regulatory changes have made them more likely to outsource some or all of their benefits administration, as health care reform increases both the complexity and time required to administer benefits.The online survey conducted in December 2011 by the ADP Research Institute, a specialized group within ADP that provides insights to leaders in both the private and public sectors around issues in human capital management, employment trends and workforce strategy, includes input from 504 HR/benefits decision makers in U.S. enterprises. These respondents include 254 participants from midsized organizations (those with 50-999 employees) and 250 from large organizations (those with 1,000 or more employees).Ensuring compliance is one of the top reasons survey respondents said they outsource benefits administration (54 percent of midsized and 49 percent of large). Employers also cited the need to access subject matter knowledge and expertise (50 percent of midsized and 41 percent of large) and reduce the administrative burden on internal staff (43 percent of midsized and 50 percent of large) as other key reasons for outsourcing."It's likely that outsourcing will become more common as compliance becomes increasingly complex with new health care regulations in the mix," said Tim Clifford, President, Benefits Services at ADP, a leading provider of human resource management, payroll and benefits administration services. "Our study shows that many employers view outsourcing as a viable option to help them successfully cut through this complexity." Clifford added that it is not just in the area of health care reform that compliance is becoming more demanding. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), to name only a few, have also increased administrative complexity in benefit plans for most employers. As new regulations are issued or prior ones are amended and modified, this trend is likely to continue.Nearly 3 out of 10 midsized companies (28 percent) and 4 out of 10 large companies (42 percent) report that they are planning to outsource more services in the next 24 months. The vast majority of HR/benefits decision makers in midsized and large companies report that their outsourcing provider or providers have met or exceeded expectations (88 percent of midsized and 92 percent of large). Additionally, HR/benefits decision makers (80 percent of midsized and 91 percent of large) report that outsourcing at least some elements of benefits administration provided real value for employers and that outsourcing achieved several of their key goals.Most employers of all sizes continue to handle at least some elements of benefits administration internally ? although large employers are more likely to outsource a greater number of tasks than midsized employers. Forty-one percent of HR/benefits decision makers in midsized companies (compared to 21 percent in large companies) report that they are most likely to administer benefits in-house because they believe it is easier to do so. HR/benefits decision makers in large companies have a different priority, with almost half (48 percent of large compared to 29 percent of midsized) reporting that they are most likely to administer benefits in-house because they want to maintain control over the process.Other findings of the survey include:COBRA administration, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) administration and 401(k) administration are among the most highly outsourced functions. Almost two-thirds of companies say that allowing internal staff to focus on more core business or strategic issues is a key advantage of outsourcing benefits administration functions (65% of midsized and large). Cost of services is the most important criterion when identifying an outsourced provider (71 percent of large and 72 percent of midsized).For greater detail about the survey and findings, please go to www.adp.com/pulsesurvey0512. ADP will present a webinar titled "To Manage Benefits Administration Internally or Outsource? That IS the Question" on May 17, 2012 from 1-2 p.m. ET.

The respondents include 254 participants from midsized organizations (those with 50-999 employees) and 250 from large organizations (those with 1,000 or more employees). The resulting data achieved statistical reliability at the 95% confidence level both overall and in each of the size groups. Respondents had to be key decision makers (evaluators, recommenders, final decision makers) for employee benefits policy or major benefits system or service purchases within their enterprises. Forty-six percent of midsized respondents and 36 percent of large respondents were the actual heads of HR or employee benefits within their organizations.About the ADP Research InstituteThe ADP Research Institute is a specialized group within ADP that provides insights to leaders in both the private and public sectors around issues in human capital management, employment trends, and workforce strategy.

Reviewer: Water slide 69
If you really enjoy watching a beautiful woman worked from casual setting to full bore aroused this is a movie for you. In the 1st scene there is a giant gush of wetness after just a few minuets at the business end of a vibrating egg, At that point they boys are just getting started. It simply gets better and better from there.
I gave this video 5 stars because 6 was not an option.

The Buffalo Bills-Washington Redskins football game on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at FedEx Field in Landover, MD, will be the site of the latest FCC field tests of white space devices for unlicensed mobile technology.
The NFL offered the Redskins' stadium as well as the Ravens' stadium in nearby Baltimore for the field testing. Lab testing by the commission is already completed.
A theatrical field test will be held in New York City in an unspecified Broadway theater this week as well.
Theater and sports producers have been concerned that the unlicensed devices will interfere with wireless microphone performance. The FCC testing will address that issue and whether or not the use of such devices interferes with DTV signals.

Who is your favorite artist and painting? I love Maxfield Parrish, and his painting "Waterfall". I had the print framed last year, and then I found out George Lucas has the original in his den!!
Since I love George and anything pertaining to Star Wars, I felt an instant "Force bond" with him. Wonder if he felt it too, and if he'll include me in his will!!!
but definitely include the infamous Jazmeister. I love pears and pear-like shapes (except if I see one in the mirror) so I am also a fan of Aan's favorite subject.
There's a reason for why my walls are still bare. I prefer only Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Raphael, with the second one being the favourite. I have a huge facination for Da Vinci as well, but not as much his art as his science. My only modern favourites would be the Jazmeister Von Victoria, and anyone who can paint pears that are NOT pears!
...there is another up and coming artist I love, our very own Jazzie!!! Her painting of the little fairies dancing all over the campus, I mean canvas, sends me over the mooooooon!!!!
....he has another painting titled "morning" which I absolutely love as well!!!
