UN offers deal in Cambodia
Sunday 13 June 1993
PHNOM PENH (Reuter) - The UN chief in Cambodia has offered temporarily to withdraw some civilian personnel from the eastern provinces, where government soldiers have threatened peace-keeping staff at gunpoint. Yasushi Akashi said he was making the offer to calm the situation in the three provinces, scenes of protests by the government party over its election defeat.
Mr Akashi's statement followed a demand by the head of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, that the UN withdraw totally from the provinces of Kompong Cham, Prey Veng and Svay Rieng. Officials of the formerly communist government in the three provinces have declared that they are 'seceding' from the rest of Cambodia in protest at what they say was a fraudulent election.

Instrument Bezel Black Camera Standard 1967 is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by red67coupe from Instrument Bezel This part (along with the dash trim kit) helped bring my old, faded dashboard back to life. I recommend getting the lens kit with it also while you have it apart. It's an upgrade you won't regret.

Hello, I am going to need this part and the other half that goes the full length of the dash but cant see it on your site, please can you advise me. I have just started buying mustangs and shipping them to England so any suggestions will help.

Early last week while experiencing some old folk aches and pains, I enjoyed some inexpensive and unexpected therapy.
Taking my aging body upstairs at the invitation of Mike and Cathy, I parked myself on one of their benches on the front porch. The reward was a beautiful view of our neighborhood on a nice spring late afternoon. The scenic beauty was enhanced by a beautiful symphony provided by singing birds.
In spite of distant noise from a professional landscaper's riding mower, I found my mind wandering away from my aches and pains. ...

The Congressional Caucus on Black Men and Boys held its first hearing, titled "The Status of Black Males: Ensuring Our Boys Mature Into Strong Men." Much of the hearing focused on the achievement gap of black males, racial profiling, and the justice system. Among the witnesses was Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin who in February 2012 was fatally shot while walking through a Sanford, Florida, gated community. Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was acquitted of the crime in July 2013. Mr. Martin in his testimony said, "We will not let the verdict sum up who Trayvon was." Michael Eric Dyson said that President Obama must speak out more often on racial issues in the United States.
The hearing did not resume after a recess was called. close

With the recent launch of Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, discussion of the value of women in the workforce has blossomed. It's clear women make great entrepreneurs—something the women of Africa have known for centuries but is often overlooked.
Sandberg encourages women to realize their potential in the workplace with all the resources at their disposal to help achieve their goals. Resources in Africa are far less accessible, but when they are, women take full advantage, and the results further support Sandberg's refrain: Women in the workforce are great for business.
In its 2012 report on gender equality, the World Bank found that working women are important contributors to their families and communities and may in fact be better in business than their male counterparts. For example, in Burkina Faso, simply re-allocating agricultural resources from men to women resulted in a 6 percent increase in production.
We've seen results from Aid for Africa members like Women's Microfinance Initiative. Since the Initiative made its first loan in 2008, women in East Africa have been "leaning in."
Take Alice Monje, for example. Alice, a mother of nine living in Buyobo, Uganda, was struggling to provide for her family. Through a small loan from the Women's Microfinance Initiative, Alice started and grew a successful poultry business and created supplemental income by diversifying to include agriculture. Now, smiling modestly, Alice describes her family as "well off." Taking a page from Sandberg's book, Alice took advantage of the resources made available to her, which empowered her to achieve financial independence and stability.
While Africa may seem light years away from Sandberg's Silicon Valley, her message about support for women in business may be just as relevant to women of Africa. Aid for Africa members Women's Microfinance Initiative, the Akilah Institute for Women, and The BOMA Project, provide African women the opportunity to use their natural business sense to better their communities, support their families, and pave the way for future generations of female entrepreneurs.
Want to "lean in" to support the women of Sub Saharan Africa who are building better lives for themselves, their families and communities. Here are some things you can do:

Wonderful and fascinating.
They just need a chance. Why is this so surprising that women are strong in character, hard workers and do everything to better their family and community? Hopefully the men can take it, without feeling threatened and not resort to more rape and beatings than they usually do. Divine mother starting to enter the picture more!

There's a few myths, or maybe "Half-truths" floating around on the forum about how people go about certain meathods or achieve certain results. Some of these may have some folks confused, or even scared to try a new technique. There are a few "myths" that I would like your help to get straightened out, and if you guys can think of more, please post them!
#1- Alclad, I've read on several instances where Alclad was hard to work with because of it being so delicate, but I've also read where it's just as tough as kit chrome... so which is it?
#2- Scribing open panels, BMF makes a tool just for this, yet guys insist on claiming to use the back-side of a #11 blade (which I can never get to follow the groove). How many of you actually use an Exacto blade to open panels?
#3- Fine line masking, again something that can be purchased, but when people ask the painter how they get such fine lines masked, they always come back with the old "stacking of the blades" response...
I don't want to start any arguements amongst the members, just would like to bring the truth about some things to light is all!
I see neither truth nor falsehood in any of these so-called "myths", but rather that regardless of tools or materials that may be available, many of us prefer techniques which we have developed over the years, that work well for us.
Bear in mind, not everyone has seen with their own eyes, nor had available locally, many of the tools and materials that can be found in the hobby and related marketplace nowadays. Additionally, not every modeler likes every possible tool that has come down the pike, being comfortable with the tool or technique that has served them well over time.
For some modelers, it's the trip to the finished project that is important, for others, it's the finished project--regardless of the route taken to achieve it.

Photo Safe Pro by My Eyes Only™
No risk tryout for free! Photo Safe Pro by My Eyes Only™ is an iOS app that will protect your private photos from prying eyes. You Need this App If...

Version 1.0.1 (Jan 09, 2011)
Better memory management for very large imported photos, reducing application memory aborts.
Update your Review - If this version is working better for you, please update your review. We do listen to what our customers have to say and we respond to the best of our ability.
WOW! - We were caught off guard with the number of our customers importing very large photos and thus causing application memory aborts. We have made some great strides in decreasing memory aborts with images taken with up to 14 megapixel cameras. But if you try to import 12mb, 15mb, 20mb or 30mb images when they expand, then memory aborts may still occur. Understand that compressing an images only helps with storage, when the image is uncompressed and displayed, they can still use massive memory. MEO Photo Pro will do it's best to downsize the images so they can be displayed, but the iPad is a memory limited device and we all need to understand those limitations. More will will be done in the future to further reduce memory usage.

John Sheehan, Mylan's CFO, added: "We continue to be pleased with the performance of our business in 2013, with our second quarter and first half results in line with our expectations. We saw continued robust growth in Europe, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth in this region, as well as solid double-digit growth in Asia Pacific. We also continued to see double-digit growth in our Specialty business and now expect this segment to deliver growth of closer to 20% for the year, with out-performance in other areas of our business off-setting this slower trajectory. Our ability to generate strong cash flows combined with our recent capital market transactions has further enhanced our financial flexibility as we move into the second half of 2013."
Financial Results Summary Three Months Ended June 30, 2013For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Mylan reported total revenues of $1.70 billion compared to $1.69 billion in the comparable prior year period, an increase of $13.9 million or 0.8%. The effect of foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately 1% on total revenues primarily reflecting a stronger U.S. Dollar in comparison to the currencies of the other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating total revenues for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth of approximately $34 million, or 2%.
A tabular summary of Mylan's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is included at the end of this release. Also inc

JENNINGS: I read an article coming up here on Firefox (Web browser) and its perceived ability to do this better than you. Is that fair?
GATES: Well, there's competition in every place that we're in. The browser space that we are in we have about 90 percent. Sure Firefox has come along and the press love the idea of that. Our commitment is to keep our browser that competes with Firefox to be the best browser -- best in security, best in features. In fact, we just announced that we'll have a new version of the browser so we're innovating very rapidly there and it's our commitment to have the best.
JENNINGS: Are you going to have to push your browser faster because of competition?
GATES: Well, competition is always a fantastic thing, and the computer industry?
JENNINGS: I knew you were going to say that (laughs).
GATES: (smiles) ... is intensely competitive. Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
JENNINGS: And you say it keeps you on your toes, you have such a huge portion of the market -- in all elements of technology. Is the tendency in the shop sometimes to think that we just can't be beaten?
GATES: No, in fact that's one thing I like about the Microsoft culture -- is that we wake up every day thinking about companies like Wang or Digital Equipment, or Compaq, that were huge companies that did very well and they literally have disappeared. Got bought up, you know went into a direction that was a dead end for them. So we have that lesson and we are always saying to ourself -- we have to innovate. We got to come up with that breakthrough. In fact, the way software works -- so long as you are using your existing software -- you don't pay us anything at all. So we're only paid for breakthroughs. We have to make a new version of Windows or Office that you think is worth going out and buying.
JENNINGS: Why do so many people seem to think that open sourcing is so essential?
GATES: Well certainly there is always going to be free software, and there will be commercial software. We represent one company that has commercial software and can stand behind it in terms of support and compatibility. But we have always believed that free software space will be there and will be complimentary.
JENNINGS: Everybody I talked to seems to, particularly if they are young, seems to think that open sourcing is important and that among the reasons it is important is that it enables them to run more secure systems. Is that true from your point of view?
GATES: Actually no, but that is the kind of competition that we have. Is that they will innovate in that space, we will innovate in our space. And in fact, we do a lot of work to make sure that these things can inter-operate so that a company can have a mix of Microsoft products, Unix products, Mainframe products, and then each time they do a project they can look and say - is the Microsoft solution best? Is the other solution best? And so there will just be a lot of choices there, no one approach is going to replace the other.
JENNINGS: You sound quite sanguine about this. Is this a public position that is essential to take?
GATES: No, I have always loved the competitive forces in this business. You know I certainly have meetings where I spur people on by saying, "Hey, we can do better than this. How come we are not out ahead on that?" That what keeps my job one of the most interesting in the world.

The most common side effects associated with Reclast are fever; pain in the muscles, bones or joints; flu-like symptoms; and headache. These symptoms usually occur within the first three days following Reclast administration and usually resolve within 3 to 4 days of onset but resolution could take up to 7 to 14 days.

I spent two days at PuppetConf 2013 in San Francisco this week, and the common themes were automate everything, monitor everything, provide feedback early in the process, and focus on culture. All four of those topics aligned with the DevOps movement, with the goal of faster and more reliable deliveries. Companies that can deliver software more frequently with fewer issues have a competitive advantage over those who can't.
Business Agility
VMworld 2013 is upon us and one of our tasks is to figure out which vendor's booths to go see. With over 230 booths to choose from this is a daunting task. If you are interested in finding creative new solutions to your management, monitoring, deployment, security, data protection, and desktop management problems, this list will help you.
The old way of delivering software was to bundle up the software and ship it, sell the software off the shelf, or allow customers to download and install it. In the "shipping model", it was the buyer's responsibility to install the software, manage the uptime, patch, monitor, and manage capacity. Sometimes the buyer would perform all of those tasks themselves, or sometimes they would hire a third party to handle it for them. In either case, the buyer of the software had total control over if and when the software was updated and at what time a planned outage would occur in order to perform the patches or upgrades.
Teradici, the developer of the PCoIP® protocol, has announced the release of two updates to their hardware acceleration products that are geared to optimize protocol bandwidth and improve end user experience.
For many years, the focus in IT has been on building robust systems that invested heavily in avoiding failures. To accomplish this goal, methodical processes were implemented to guide IT through a list of known use cases so that systems could try to avoid failing and have a plan for recovery if a failure did…
The benefits of virtualizing networking and storage will be very different than were the benefits of virtualizing CPU and memory. VMware's success to date has not come at the expense of server vendors. However VMware's success with virtualized networking will come at the expense of Cisco. The success with virtualizing storage will come at the expense of enterprise storage vendors. By commoditizing networking and storage VMware will deliver substantial benefits to its customers, and create strained relationships with vendors who used to be partners.
Performance Management ...
The New Management Platforms for the SDDC Management Stack and the Cloud
• • 4 Comments
Legacy management frameworks are going to get replaced by SDDC Management Platforms that combine big data back ends, analytics and ecosystem friendly data collection and integration strategies to give customers the best of both worlds. Customers will be able to choose from among best of breed solutions, and then integrate them at the data level via a big data back end data store. This will revolutionize the management software industry, give rise to a new set of leaders in this industry, and completely destroy the legacy management frameworks.
The handwriting is on the wall. Managing the SDDC and the cloud will upend the management software industry. BMC has been taken private because it has to go through changes to adapt to the new world that cannot be done as a public company. IBM's revenues have declined for five straight quarters. CA has resorted to lawsuits against vendors (New Relic and AppDynamics) that have out innovated CA, and who are walking away with the new APM market.
You can construct your own management stack for your SDDC out of best of breed components. The composition of your SDDC Management Stack is up to you. But you should think carefully about how it is constructed and how the pieces relate to each other.

Honestants and Swindlecants I.

if A says he's an honestant then you still wouldn't know who he is. but if he said he was a swindlecant then he would be a lieing honestant and thats impossible. So A must be a swindlecant.
A can't say he's a swindlecant. B is a swindlecant and C is a Honestant.
ugh....my brain hurts.

Posted 23 October 2007 - 09:08 PM
Which means if B is a Swindlecant, C must be a Honestant b/c he must be truthful that B is lying.
However, we still do not know what A is. We do not know what A said, although, he must always say Honestant so you can not figure it out by that. Also, there is no way to figure out by B or C's comments what he is.

Posted 30 October 2007 - 09:18 AM
If C was a Swindlecast, he/she would say 'Believe B, He is lying'. Therefore he must be Honestant, which means B is a swindlecant. As for A its not clear (as already mentioned).
I know you can argue that C's statement is sort of an order and not an expression, and the same logic of Truth and False does not apply. But comments welcome.

Honestants and Swindlecants I. - Back to the Logic Problems
These are typical logic problems which can be solved by using classic logic operations.
There are two kinds of people on a mysterious island. There are so-called Honestants who speak always the truth, and the others are Swindlecants who always lie.
Three fellows (A, B and C) are having a quarrel at the market. A gringo goes by and asks the A fellow: "Are you an Honestant or a Swindlecant?" The answer is incomprehensible so the gringo asks B: "What did A say?" B answers: "A said that he is a Swindlecant." And to that says the fellow C: "Do not believe B, he is lying!" Who is B and C?Spoiler for Solution
This is a simple one of most, giving C the title of being an Honestant would make B a Swindlecant, and A an Honestant, since B said A was a Swindlecant, and it was a lie according to C, A must have been an Honetant
B said A was a Swindlecant, but C said that B was lying. C was an honestant according to the solution, then B was a Swindlecant, making A an honestant
- 0
Posted 26 March 2008 - 07:08 PM
B said A was a Swindlecant, but C said that B was lying. C was an honestant according to the solution, then B was a Swindlecant, making A an honestant
B did not say that A is a Swindlecant. B said that A said, "I am a Swindlecant." B was not saying what A was, only what A said A was. That is why the people who say A is an Honestant are wrong.

To Sam ... great. Or maybe we won't even need the gas by then and it becomes a resource wasted because something else has taken it's place (fusion, renewables... who knows?)
Metta: The Australian economy is already staring down the barrel of severe slow down because of diminishing mining investment over the next few years, and you cheer a large investment project being shelved? A curious stance indeed. Investment has grown to approx 8% of GDP where it is normally 2%. Assuming it heads back to the long term average of 2% over the next 3 years, that's 2% of GDP that has to be made up, just replacing the lost investment funding, let alone the knock on effects. Each year for three years ...
Don't expect the dollar to decline as much as in past commodity price cycles either. Much of the money invested in Australian bonds is from foreign central banks who see us as a portfolio diversification investment. They won't be pulling out significantly when interest rates tumble. Sure the shorter term investors will, but I doubt the dollar will bottom out below 80cents US, barring something really odd happening.

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) offers the first release of eProject Builder (ePB), a secure, online tool that enables energy service companies (ESCOs) and their customers to:
- Upload and track project-level information
- Generate basic contract documents (such as financial schedules) and project reporting materials that may be mandated by local, state, or Federal agency requirements
- Benchmark proposed energy savings performance contract (ESPC) projects against historical project data.
ePB is managed on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy by the University of California/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It was designed to help simplify and standardize the development of ESPCs—and then archive key project information for ongoing management and benchmarking purposes.

It's always the simplest problems that lead to the most eye-opening trips down the corporate rabbit hole.
Marla Knutsen of Altadena contacted me to say that she was having a hard time closing her account with Quality Paperback Book Club. She said she's been telling the organization by letter and email since January that she wanted to cancel her membership — and they keep sending her books.
"I am worried that they'll eventually send this to collection," Knutsen said.
She's right to worry. No debt collector has yet contacted Knutsen. But companies like this, whose business model centers on sending you things every few weeks and then charging you for them, are notorious for going after people who stop paying their bills.
I wasn't surprised by the problems she was having — I had the same ones as a kid after I foolishly joined the Columbia House record club and then couldn't stop the records from coming.
What did surprise me, though, was the enormous difficulty I encountered just trying to find someone at Quality Paperback Book Club, or QPB as it calls itself, who could deal with Knutsen's issues.
That, in turn, led to questions about who actually owns the business — and why the parent company is apparently working so hard to remain out of sight.
Let me say up front that I have nothing against book clubs. Anything that encourages reading in the age of 140-character tweets and what-I-had-for-breakfast Facebook posts is OK by me.
But I have little patience for businesses that make it as difficult as possible for a customer to say thanks but no thanks. Back in the days of dial-up Internet access, AOL was one of the prime offenders for this sort of behavior. Some gyms also make breaking up especially hard to do.
It's like once they get used to seeing your membership money each month, they just refuse to give it up.
According to the website for Quality Paperback Book Club, you can select four books for $1 each when you join. Then you have to buy at least four more books "at regular club prices" over the next year before you're eligible to cancel your account.
During that time, members also will automatically receive the club's "favorite picks" every three weeks unless they decline them within 10 days of receiving the catalog.
Knutsen, 70, said that after almost two decades of membership, "I kept saying I wanted out." But the favorite picks continue to arrive — about $80 worth so far, by her reckoning.
I didn't think this would be tough to fix. A call from a reporter is usually sufficient to get a business to straighten up and fly right.
But just try to get in touch with Quality Paperback Book Club. It's practically impossible.
I started with a message sent via their website. That garnered no response.
I called the number for customer service in the club's membership agreement. Always a busy signal.
So I began poking into the organization's corporate lineage in hopes of finding a parent company that could be held accountable. This is where things became downright weird.
Quality Paperback Book Club is affiliated with the venerable Book of the Month Club, which has been serving up literature to the masses since 1926.
The clubs were purchased in 2000 by a company called Bookspan, which was a joint venture of publishing giants Bertelsmann and Time Warner. Bertelsmann took complete control of Bookspan in 2007.

Having some trouble when it comes to initializing variables within a class (instance variables etc.) and I was wondering if anybody could clarify the proper syntax for me.
Sample code:
Class Pets
attr_accessor :name
def initialize(name)
def name=(name)
@name = name
#I believe this is where I change @name instance variable
#in this space I could create more <methods> for Class.new.<method>
My question is do I need to have
attr_accessor as well as
def initialize and
def name=?
In addition, if I have multiple attr_accessors do I need to add them as arguments to
def initialize, e.g.:
Class Pets
attr_accessor :name :age :color
def initialize(name, age, color)
@name = name
@age = age
@color = color
#and if this is the case do I need methods for each (name= age= color= etc.)
One last thing:
If someone could confirm or deny my thought process on the
age= and
color= type of methods within the classes. Am I correct in thinking
method= is necessary to change the instance variable? I am a bit unsure about what the
method= is for and why I cannot change the instance variable within initialize.

After an undesirable early exit from the playoffs, the New York Yankees organization turned its attention to the future in 2011, and beyond. Throughout the final stretches of the 2010 season, countless rumors were sparked about Joe Girardi. Since Chicago Cubs' manager Lou Pinella retired, people thought Girardi would prefer returning there, where he was a player for two stints of seven years total.
I never bought into those foolish thoughts.
Surely, the manager that will bring the cursed Cubs a World Series Championship will be immortalized for accomplishing such an impossible feat. And considering that Girardi is an Illinois native, and that he is a pretty good manager, the idea of him managing the Cubs was not unlikely.
I still thought they were foolish.
Why in the world would Joe Girardi want to leave the New York Yankees? Would he really want to downgrade to a far-worse team? Sure, if he happened to win a World Series with them he would go down in baseball history as the manager who freed the Cubs of the curse - but in order to win a World Series, the team itself has to be good. A manager can only work with what he's got. And the Cubs, who finished second to last in what is arguably the stinkiest division in baseball - the NL Central - don't have what it takes to win a World Series. The New York Yankees, on the other hand, have the chance to win it all every single year.
I'm glad Joe Girardi sees things my way.
The Yankees have been working on a deal that would bring back Girardi to manage the team for three years. The contract will most likely be worth $9 million with incentives, which is an increase from his previous deal. Just a little "thank you" for a job well done.
Although I don't always agree with every move he makes, I am glad that Joe Girardi will be back in pinstripes for at least three more seasons. He's part of the team just like the other guys, and I love him just the same. It's comforting to know that he won't be changing uniforms any time soon.
But hopefully after the end of the 2011 season, Joe Girardi has to change his jersey number again...

Naming Files
Linking Files
When you design web pages, you need to know how to make links to other
files located in different folders. Web designers usually use relative
links when linking to other sections of the Web site that are
under their control, and absolute links when they cannot
control the site. For example, the relative link from your homepage to
your resume page will be resume/index.html; the absolute
link to our iSchool homepage is http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/.
Linking Inside a Folder
To link to the folders from the main folder, the relative link would
look like this:
Linking Outside a Folder
Let's say your main folder is inside another folder and you want to link
to a file outside. Your link would look like this:
So lets say your link looks like this: ../../index.html.
That means you're telling the browser to look for the file index.html
- two folders outside yours (or up two levels).
Linking Files in Same Folder

Synthetic collagen promotes natural clotting
Hydrogel invented at Rice University may help 'nuanced' healing of surgical wounds
HOUSTON – (April 9, 2014) – Synthetic collagen invented at Rice University may help wounds heal by directing the natural clotting of blood.
The material, KOD, mimics natural collagen, a fibrous protein that binds cells together into organs and tissues. It could improve upon commercial sponges or therapies based on naturally derived porcine or bovine-derived collagen now used to aid healing during or after surgery.
The lab of Jeffrey Hartgerink, a chemist and bioengineer based at Rice's BioScience Research Collaborative, developed synthetic collagen several years ago. The lab's analysis of KOD for use as a hemostat, or clotting agent, appears this month in the American Chemical Society journal Biomacromolecules.
Hartgerink and lead author Vivek Kumar, a postdoctoral researcher at Rice, viewed clotting as a good avenue of investigation for practical application of KOD, a synthetic protein made of 36 amino acids that self-assemble into triple-helix nanofibers and hydrogels.
"We showed we can make small peptides that we can easily synthesize chemically, which means we can purify them for a completely homogeneous material," Hartgerink said. "Those peptides self-assemble into fibers that in turn become a hydrogel. This hierarchy of assembly — from a peptide to a triple helix to a fiber to a hydrogel — mimics much of the hierarchy of assembly of natural collagen."
Hartgerink said collagen's importance goes beyond its role as a scaffold for cells. "How a cell determines what it's going to do depends in large part on the chemical surface it's attached to," he said.
"We've been thinking about KOD for hemostasis for a long time. Natural collagen is already used in a variety of on-the-market products for hemostasis, but there are benefits to a synthetic system. We can avoid the immune problems associated with using collagen from cows, for example. The ability to synthesize KOD chemically gives us a pure product."
Lab tests showed KOD hydrogel traps red blood cells to stop bleeding and, unlike commercial barriers, binds and activates platelets that form clots to promote healing. The tests also determined KOD does not promote inflammation.
"We wouldn't envision using KOD for major trauma, because there are conventional methods like tourniquets or using clay-based materials that are much more effective in that immediate situation," said Kumar, who often used his own blood to test the hydrogel against commercial hemostats. "We see using this for more specific, site-directed applications, like to stop surgical bleeding."
"This is not going to be a battlefield dressing or something a first responder is likely to use," Hartgerink said. "But when the goal is to promote delicate and natural healing where scarring is a concern, this can be more nuanced and effective."
While validation is needed for KOD to be used in operating rooms, the researchers are already considering applications for wound healing and graft support. "We have the flexibility to incorporate higher levels of complexity within our peptide matrix," Kumar said. "We can incorporate cell adhesion or degradation sites to recruit cells or draw in different components from native tissue."
Co-authors are Rice undergraduate students Nichole Taylor and Benjamin Wang, graduate student Abhishek Jalan and alumnus Lyahn Hwang.
The National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Robert A. Welch Foundation supported the research.

combat boots on the ground i'd suggest. the longer we wait the bigger isis will grow. they are in war since quite some time now and they get better with strategy, planning, propaganda, etc. also they have many sleepers placed all over europe, even in the us/uk and once activated they will travel down to join them to fight. we don't know the numbers probably never will, but if i had to do a guess, i'd say at least 50k if not 100k. if there was just a law in place forbidding them to travel out and back to europe, so far i have heard nothing of it and this is the big scandal for me.
I already mentioned that but yet again it's only a short term solution (and I agree that we do need an immediate short term solution now) but it still won't solve it long term.
As for travel restrictions, I'm positive there are already some but you can avoid that by flying to another country first and then flying (or driving / train / boat etc).
ISIS is not in a war, they aren't winning battles because they have superior weaponry or manpower. They're winning battles by making people so afraid of them that they'd rather abandon their cities and bases and flee than risk getting captured. Look at all the battles they've fought, the majority of the time that they've fought against even a militia or what resembles a conventional army they have lost a lot of members and sometimes even the battle itself. So what do they do to win? They go around beheading people to spread terror. At the end of the day they're nothing more than a bunch of pathetic cowards wearing masks to hide their identity and killing innocent people.
That's what makes fighting them different to a conventional army. I'm pretty damn sure if the US dropped troops and brought in air support into the region, we'd be able to wipe them out in all but a couple of days. But we won't get everyone and their entire ideology will still exist and continue to grow and THAT is what we need to destroy and that's why we need a long term plan that goes further than "keeping soldiers in those areas."
I don't mean education in the sense of "they all have university degrees" but more like what made these people give up their lives in the west (and the rest of the world for that matter) and move to the Middle East to commit these atrocities. Normal people don't just get up one morning and go "yup today is the day I go behead a whole bunch of people"
Unfortunately, ISIS already has a lot of people with university degrees. They're using their education to be even deadlier.
ISIS must be destroyed.
It's propaganda and to counter propaganda we need education. I'm sure there are other factors too but the strongest tool we have to fight terror is education.


text: Tim Cook leads Bay Area CEOs in pay July 15, 2012 11:48 AM Dean Takahashi 0 Got email marketing? We've got best practices from LivingSocial and estate sale guru Everything But The House in our next Insight webinar. Apple has the biggest market value of any tech company, so it's no surprise that Apple chief executive Tim Cook has become the highest-paid CEO at a publicly traded company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Cook beat out Larry Ellison ($77.5 million) of Oracle for the title, bringing in $378 million in his first year as Apple's boss, according to an analysis by the San Jose Mercury News. The pay was mostly in shares that Cook won't be able to sell for years. Cook's actual take-home pay was $1.8 million. The median pay for Bay Area CEOs was $3 million, according to the San Jose Mercury News' What the Boss Makes annual survey. That number was up from $2.8 million in 2010. The survey includes salaries, bonuses, stock grants, and options reported by 198 publicly traded companies in the fiscal year 2011. Third place was John Hammergren, CEO of healthcare firm McKesson, at $32 million. John Daane of Altera got $29.6 million, and Chevron's John Watson got $18.1 million. Meg Whitman of HP got $16.5 million, while the previous CEO, Leo Apotheker, got $13.2 million after he was fired. Former PG&E CEO Peter Darbee got a $34.8 million retirement package, even after he left the company in the wake of a deadly gas line explosion in San Bruno, Calif. Carol Bartz, former Yahoo CEO, got $3 million in severance, while AMD's former CEO Dirk Meyer got $8.7 million.

Johnsonburg hosted the annual Elk County Junior High Meet Monday afternoon at Johnsonburg Area High School, winning the team meet and setting new meet records in the process.
Johnsonburg won the meet with a total of 96 points. ECC was second at 52.5 points and St. Marys took third at 37.5 points.
The preliminary 2015-2016 budget for the Ridgway Area School District is balanced, shows no tax increases and maintains current staffing levels, according to RASD Business Manager Donna Sidelinger.
Sidelinger made a budget presentation during Tuesday's RASD work session meeting, and the budget will go to a vote during next week's May 12 meeting.
For the 2015-2016 budget, Sidelinger said the overall spending plan will see a 2.4 percent increase over the 2014-2015 numbers.

With funding issues far from resolved, the state House on Monday voted 134-59 to increase the monthly fee used to help fund Pennsylvania counties' 911 emergency communication centers.
The measure, which still must pass the Senate, calls for an increase to $1.65 a month. Currently, the 25-year-old 911 Public Safety Emergency Telephone Act calls for $1 a month for cellphones, and $1.50 for landlines.
After months of topping out at well over 70 inmates a day, officials at the Elk County Prison are finally seeing those figures taper off.
"The population has drastically stabilized," said Elk County Prison Warden Greg Gebauer. "I think that's due to the fact that a lot of inmates are being transported to the state penitentiary."
As cases are being settled in county court, many are being sentenced to the state penitentiary due to crime severity and other factors.
The average daily population at the prison for January was 70; February was 73; March was 63; and April was 58.
The Elk County Commissioners on Tuesday morning acknowledged local home healthcare agencies for National Visiting Nurse Association Week.
The week, falling on the second week of May, is recognized this year from May 3-8.
"In Elk County, we have a number of providers that care for patients who are homebound or need assistance in their home," said Rebecca Nelson, President and CEO of Community Nurses, Inc.
In response to concerns that were brought before the Ridgway Area School District school board during its April meeting, RASD Superintendent Robert Rocco said Tuesday that the school district will draft a letter of support to the Ridgway Township supervisors supporting their efforts to regulate the oil and gas industry through revisions to the township's zoning ordinance.
JOHNSONBURG – One more hit at the right time and Johnsonburg could've had a happier ending to Tuesday's game with DCC.
Johnsonburg baseball could not get the clutch hit when needed and fell 3-2 to DuBois Central Catholic Tuesday afternoon at Knothole Park in Johnsonburg.
JOHNSONBURG – DuBois Central Catholic sophomore Riley Assalone shut down Johnsonburg for the second time in eight days with a 13-3 six-inning win Tuesday in Johnsonburg.
Assalone struck out five of the first six batters she faced and didn't allow a baserunner until the fourth inning with one out. She finished with 10 strikeouts in the win. She beat the Ramettes 7-1 last Wednesday in DuBois.
The Elk County Catholic track and field teams competed in a tri-meet at Johnsonburg with Kane on Tuesday afternoon.
In the girls meet, ECC won with 92 points followed by Kane with 42 and Johnsonburg with 39.
In the boys meet, Kane won with 88 points followed by ECC with 50 and Johnsonburg 48.
The Ridgway Borough Council's planning, grants and recreation committee met Monday at 4 p.m. at the Ridgway Borough municipal building to discuss the status of the borough's various parks, including the much talked about skatepark.
Monday's committee meeting was the first meeting held by borough officials since they received official notice from YMCA officials that the lease between the borough and the YMCA that allowed the borough to house a skatepark on YMCA property had been terminated.

Over 40 participants who attended a one-day interactive technical working session yesterday identified the lack of trained Math and Science experts as reason for the under development of Liberia's energy sector.
The participants attributed the situation to the absence of qualified teachers to impart Math and Science knowledge necessary to adequately prepare the younger generation for future national undertakings.
The participants also indicated that the lack of laboratory facilities, modern text books and equipment to training Liberians is also reason why the country's energy sector is being operated by foreigners who received huge salaries and return home to develop their native lands.
Meanwhile, the participants have called on the Government of Liberia (GOL) through the Ministry of Education (MOE) to readjust the national curriculum and place emphasis on the teaching of Math and Science in primary, junior and senior secondary schools across Liberia.
They also called on Government to prioritize science and math education, hence to encourage female teachers and students to develop interest in studying the courses at secondary and tertiary levels.
Yesterday's interactive forum was organized by the Department of Science and Technology at the MOE in collaboration with the Department of Energy at the Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy (MLME) and the Norwegian government.
The technical dialogue was aimed at identifying and finding solutions to problems students and teachers encounter, relative to learning and teaching math and science courses within Liberian schools.
The forum which was sponsored by the Norwegian government is part of a five year cooperative agreement between the Government of Norway (GON) and GOL.
The over 40 participants were drawn from MLME, MOE Norwegian Embassy, National Teachers Association of Liberia (NTAL) and Norwegian teachers.
