The Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and the University of Texas School of Law will present the "Steps Toward a Sustainable Austin Energy" symposium on March 10, 2009, in the Eidman Courtroom.
The symposium is the culmination of a year-long research project by twenty-two University of Texas graduate and undergraduate students to determine whether and how Austin can reach carbon neutrality by 2020. Under the supervision of David J. Eaton, Bess Harris Jones Centennial Professor of Natural Resource Policy Studies at the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and with guidance from Austin Energy and Solar Austin, these students have developed a set of recommendations for how Austin Energy should provide energy to Central Texas.
"The LBJ School's work, culminating in this symposium, dovetails perfectly with what we've been doing for months through our public participation process—seeking input on what path Austin Energy should chart to meet future demand and challenges," Austin Energy General Manager Roger Duncan said. "Feedback from our customers is vital to Austin Energy's decision-making process. It is my hope that Austin residents attend this important meeting and voice their opinions."
The symposium begins with a scenario training session at 9 a.m. Audience members are encouraged to test their ideas for how Austin Energy ought to provide energy to Central Texas by 2020 using a program created by the graduate students. The program offers an interactive and visual description of the benefits and drawbacks of various energy technologies.
At 1:15 p.m., attendees are welcome to engage in four panel discussions with leading experts from various sectors of the energy industry. Panel discussions include: "Austin Energy's Coal, Gas and Nuclear Future," "Austin Energy's Solar, Wind, and Geothermal Future," "Regulatory Issues for Austin Energy, 2020," and "Customer and Community Preferences for Austin Energy, 2020."
The symposium will conclude with a public forum beginning at 6:30 p.m. where attendees are invited to learn about and discuss how Austin Energy can become a sustainable utility company by 2020. Prior to this facilitated discussion, graduate students involved in the research project will present their findings regarding Austin's future energy generation.
"After months of comprehensive research and deliberation, these students have identified options to transform Austin Energy into the world's first carbon-neutral electric utility," said Solar Austin cofounder Chip Wolfe. "As a cosponsor of this course, Solar Austin is profoundly appreciative of their efforts."
In addition to fourteen LBJ School students, eight other students who participated in the research project come from the following schools: the Cockrell School of Engineering, the McCombs School of Business, the UT School of Architecture, and the University of Texas School of Information.
All events are free and open to the public. Parking is available at a modest cost in the San Jacinto Parking Garage adjacent to the Law School.

Matt Cain fans 11, goes distance to beat Nationals 3-1
Jun 8, 2011, 6:27 PM EDT
Making the most of the little support he's receiving, Matt Cain moved to 5-0 when the Giants score at least three runs in beating the Nationals on Wednesday. It was his first complete game of 2011 and the 13th of his career.
Today marked the fifth time the Giants have scored exactly three runs through his 13 starts this season. They've managed to win each of those games, with Cain getting two no-decisions in the process. They've score a total of five runs in his four losses.
Cain helped his own cause in this one, doubling in Eli Whiteside to put the Giants on the board in the bottom of the sixth. The Nationals tied it back up in the seventh on Rick Ankiel's double, but the Giants scored twice in the bottom of the inning to make it 3-1.
Cain ended up throwing 110 pitches in the gem. He reached double figures in strikeouts for the first time since a July 1, 2008 start against the Cubs. His career high for strikeouts is 12, established in a win over the Rockies on Aug. 6, 2006.

Brandon Crawford hits a triple, makes a run saving play at short, and pushes Miguel Tejada toward the waiver wire.
- natstowngreg - Jun 8, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Last night was a typical Nats win. This afternoon was a typical Nats loss. The margin for error is very small with this team.
- seeingwhatsticks - Jun 8, 2011 at 7:47 PM
Cain didn't strike out 11 he was just very lucky to get 11 flyballs that went directly into the catcher's glove and not out of the park for home runs. His performance is not sustainable and he will soon regress to the mean.
- tomemos - Jun 9, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Y'all giving this thumbs down may not be familiar with the sabermetric debate over Cain…or else you may not be familiar with sarcasm.
- marklar1025 - Jun 8, 2011 at 7:55 PM
Crawford has impressed me in many ways… Those line drives will start finding grass soon enough and his fielding will only get better with playing time.
- sisqsage - Jun 8, 2011 at 9:02 PM
Congrats Cainer. A class guy in the shadow of Lincecum.
Not sustainable?
Did you see him shutdown the Phils and the Rangers in he playoffs last year? Cain has been solid for several years, He just doesn't get the run support, like the story said.
With this offense you have to drive in your own runs as the pitcher.
- seeingwhatsticks - Jun 8, 2011 at 9:07 PM
It's called sarcasm. Most advanced stats people think pitchers have no control over anything other than walks and strikeouts and think that Cain has been exceptionally lucky because he gives up a lot of fly balls and relatively few of them leave the yard.
I think Cain has a real knack for disrupting the timing of the hitter and using location and late movement to keep the ball off the fat part of the bat, thus inducing a lot of weak fly balls but a lot of people will tell you he's just lucky.
How did the phrase "he was just very lucky to get 11 fly balls that went directly into the catcher's glove" not give the joke away?
- skerney - Jun 8, 2011 at 9:11 PM
seeingwhatsticks, i saw what you wrote is practically verbatim what Cains detractors write about him everyday. Guess you gotta lay the sarcasm on a little thicker.
- tomemos - Jun 9, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Guess you got to get better at critical reading.

In the moments after his team lost to West Virginia on Sunday, it seems like head coach Mark Turgeon actually foreshadowed the commitment of a 5-star recruit.
After beating Maryland in the Round of 32, one Baltimore native reportedly said his Mountaineers would beat No. 1, undefeated Kentucky.
When it came down to it, there were two factors that amplified the effects of West Virginia's pressure defense vs. Maryland. Those two things changed Sunday's game.
Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon nearly sobbed while speaking heartfelt words about his team to the media following the Terrapins' loss to West Virginia on Sunday.
Melo Trimble was injured during Maryland's season-ending loss. The player who was accidentally involved explains after the game what happened.

Cafe Society: Wet your whistle with a whisky or a whiskey
Whether you spell it with or without the "e," whisky (I'm siding with the anti-e Scots on the matter) is suddenly one of the hottest beverages around.
But hold the ice: According to purists, the put-hair-on-your-chest spirit should never be served on the watery rocks, lest its famously fruity to smoky flavors be diluted. If you must chill your dram a wee bit, the preferred method is to use a few "whisky stones" fashioned from non-porous Vermont soapstone and sold at places like Sur la Table, where a set of nine is $20.
That's just one of the whisky-sipping tips you're likely to pick up at any of the five tastings featuring the fermented grain mash this month in and around Ventura County.
n First on the calendar is the Whisky Road Show set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Grissini Ristorante Italiano in Agoura Hills. Presented by Wade's Wines, the event will focus on four distilleries and distributors, each represented by an expert who will be on hand to answer questions. They are Alistair Walker of The BenRiach Distillery, Steve Fox of Duncan Taylor & Co. Ltd. and Euan Shand, who grew up at Glendronach Distillery (where his father was a manager) and now owns Duncan Taylor & Co. Ltd. Also speaking will be Peter Currie, the sales and marketing manager for Springbank Distillery who also was named Young Ambassador of the Year 2010 by Whisky Magazine. For required reservations, $49.99 per person, call 818-597-9463.
n Offering an as-yet unpublicized menu of spirits, the Seaside Whisky Tasting will act as a preamble to the weekend-long Seaside Highland Games when it runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday at Four Points by Sheraton in Ventura (1050 Schooner Drive). For tickets, $25, show up at the door or check http://www.seaside-games.com.
n Master distiller Lorne Mackillop will be in attendance when a five-course dinner paired to Mackillop's Choice and Tomintoul whiskies by chef Todd Aarons takes place Oct. 13 at Herzog Wine Cellars' Tierra Sur restaurant in Oxnard. For reservations, $125, call 983-1560.
n Single-malt whiskies made in Japan will be sampled at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 during a "meeting" (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) of Whisky Business, which bills itself as Ventura County's largest whisky tasting club. The event at Eric's Restaurant in Newbury Park will give tasters a chance to meet Neyah White, spokesperson for the 87-year-old Yamazaki Distillery. For reservations, $35, call 415-9177 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.
n And if all goes as planned, the grand opening of Vom Fass Westlake Village in Thousand Oaks will give well-wishers the option of tasting such from-the-cask rarities as a 10-year-old Glenburgie Speyside single-malt scotch. The store debuted in August and already offers try-before-you-buy extra virgin olive oils and exotic balsamic vinegars, which can be dispensed, while you watch, into the glass bottles of your choice. Licensed as both a liquor store and a bar, the shop will be able to sell spirits and fruit liqueurs as soon as its pre-filled-off-site bottles of same arrive. Scope out the situation during the party 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, when a portion of the sales will benefit the American Heart Association (in the North Ranch Mall, 3815-A E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., 495-9999).
OPEN, SHUT AND IN BETWEEN: Vitello's Trattoria opened in time for dinner service Tuesday in the Thousand Oaks space that used to be Romio's Pizza & Pasta. Its menu replaces Romio's titular dishes (and trademark ice-cream dessert made to look like a baked potato) with items that will ring a bell with fans of Vitello's Restaurant in Studio City, thrust into the limelight in 2001 after actor Robert Blake and wife Bonnie Lee Bakley dined there the night she was killed. Those dishes include rollatini-style braciole stuffed with prosciutto, pine nuts, fontina cheese and raisins and then topped with marinara sauce, and farfalle alla Restivo, a pairing of butterfly pasta, peas and pink sauce that shares its name with trattoria owner Vince Restivo, the son and nephew of the founders of the original restaurant (they sold it in 2005). Restivo's uncle Joe died of lung cancer in 2006, but his father Steve is on hand to help with any opening-month jitters — and to stop by diners' tables to suggest they try the housemade cannoli (3316 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd; 496-3333).
Now that P6 and Suki 7 have been subtracted from the scene, what's up at Chapter 8, the third in the chain of lounge-meets-restaurant locations with by-the-numbers names? It's gone, too, but the Agoura Hills site already is being remodeled for its next act as Orleans Restaurant & Lounge. It should be open in plenty of time for Mardi Gras.

Holy sh-t Charlize Theron looked gorgeous last night at The Gunman premiere. Holy. Sh-t. OK. It's not like she ever looks terrible but even by her impossibly high standards, this is something special. Is it the way her side part is falling over her eye? Is it her skin? Is it her eyes? Is that exquisite little dress? Is it that it's been over a year and I still can't get used to the hand-holding and the obvious WE ARE A COUPLE AND WE AREN'T HIDING vibe between the two of them? Is it like basic science? When you learn about electrons? Electrons have a negative charge. Full Story

Taylor Swift posted an "I woke up like this" photo on Instagram and, well, how come celebrities always wake up in the best f-cking light? She looks adorable.

It's been a month since Tom Brady and the Patriots won the Super Bowl. These are the first shots of them together since. They were in New York on Sunday with the kids, living their perfect life of perfection, where the word "enough" doesn't exist in their vocabulary. What can I say here? There is no combination of words that will ever be perfect enough to describe how perfect they are… Except, wait, maybe… Maybe the way he wears his pants. Full Story

OMG. Bag porn. Today Chanel released the campaign for three new bags starring three celebrity ambassadors, Vanessa Paradis, Kristen Stewart, and Alice Dallal. F-ck. I'm in love. Especially with the Girl, which Vanessa is modelling on her bare back. It's an outrageous purchase for a civilian to make it your work bag but look at it. Full Story
Kristen Wiig Smiles at Independent Spirit

It's not even like my eyes deceive me – Wiig is for sure smiling and it's because she looks fantastic and she has perhaps unwittingly bested Scarlett Johansson at her own look. They have the same haircut and kind of the same dress, but Wiig's black-on-black paisley is much better. Full Story

This is a fantastic mouse, superbly weighted, comfortable in extended use, and extremely well designed. The configurable buttons are ergonomically placed for ease of use, the switchable scrolling is intuitive and quickly becomes a 'must have' feature. It glides around the desktop, and as it says, works on glass and other reflective surfaces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comparison with MX Revolution,
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
I bought this to replace a MX Revolution that was dying after five years of heavy use. My first impression is that this is a downgrade in many respects, but only a small one. Here are points to consider for other people moving from a Revolution:
The same
- The shape and feel is roughly similar. If the Revolution fits your hand, this should fit too. It's a little longer, but not obnoxiously so.
- Good response, etc. This one is supposed to be better on difficult surfaces, and that may well be true - I haven't tested it on any.
- Build quality feels good - as it should at the price - and I've no reason to think this won't last me another five years.
- The battery is now a replaceable rechargeable NiMH, and it charges through MicroUSB. The charging socket is at the front of the mouse, so it can be used while charging, with the cable being positioned roughly like the cable on a wired mouse. I don't know how the life compares as yet, but since recharging is less of a chore it matters less.
- Mouse response on difficult surfaces is claimed to be better - not tested.
- Tiny USB adaptor. (A "unified" one so you can share it with a Logitech wireless keyboard if you have one)
- The wheel no longer automatically switches between ratcheted and free-spinning depending on speed. Instead, you can switch it by pressing the (mechanical) button behind the wheel.
- That little button behind the wheel, being a mechanical switch, is no longer mappable. I used to have that as the middle button and use clicking-the-wheel to swap wheel modes. That's no longer possible. For the same reason, I don't think it's possible to have the wheel change mode according to the application you're in.
- There's a much less positive click when pushing the wheel left or right. It works well, it's just not always obvious that it's worked.
- The "second wheel" on the left hand side of the Revolution has been replaced by two buttons (mapped by default to zoom and task switch). These are nicely positioned, but don't have the wheel's benefit of having up to three functions positioned right under your thumb without moving it.
- The total number of mappable actions is reduced by two (one from the wheel, one from the button on top that is now fixed to wheel-mode).
- The forward/back buttons feel a little more awkward to reach - but this may just be a matter of getting used to a slightly different layout.
Overall, I'd rather have another MX Revolution, but in its absence this is a good replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best mouse I ever used,
AsparagusTrevor (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
I was an early adopter of laser technology, I bought the first laser mouse Logitech MX1000 when it was released many years ago and it survived until recently when the middle button stopped working. Not a major breakdown, everything else functioned fine, but a significant problem for me nontheless.
Always reliable, I decided to go for Logitech again, and was very attracted to the very tiny Unifying USB dongle. A lot of people settle for a cheap mouse, you can get them for a few quid, but since it is something so important, something in constant use and so integral to computer use, I believe it is worth spending a decent amount on a mouse that does the job well. The Unifying dongle really is tiny. Once plugged into a USB port it sticks out maybe half an inch. This makes it ideal for laptops, it can just be plugged in and forgot about since it doesn't get in the way like the larger dongles.
The mouse itself is very ergonomically shaped to be as comfortable as possible, for right handed people at least. The thumb rests comfortably on a nice curved indentation, and there are 4 buttons easily accessed by a thumb press in this position. The mouse is quite light, so it glides easily across any surface. The new Darkfield technology means there are few surfaces that this mouse cannot be used on, even glass which I believe is a first for mice. Even on conventional surfaces, it is a noticeable difference in response. No stray hairs or clumps of dust have stopped this mouse yet, from day one the movement has been smooth and responsive.
The scroll wheel is a breath of fresh air. With a toggle button positioned below it, the wheel can either scroll incrementally like most mice, or it can be changed to a super-smooth free-scrolling mode which makes it easy to glide through large pages and just feels brilliantly light. It can also be pushed side to side to scroll through wide documents, a function I couldn't do without.
There are enough buttons to satisfy a gamer like me, and the smooth and light form makes an ideal gaming mouse. Using the Logitech Setpoint software you can even set a button to change DPI to make the mouse more or less sensitive depending on what you're using it for. Plus this software allows you to change any button on the mouse to function how you want it, and also program specific settings mean a button can do different things depending on the software you're using.
The mouse runs on a single rechargeable AA battery (included). The mouse can be charged via the packaged USB cable (which also has an adapter for a mains plug), but this causes no down-time at all, you can charge the mouse plugged in via USB while still using it.
This mouse is top of the range. If you want comfort, control and reliability from your primary method of input, then you can't go wrong with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feature perfect mouse,
Manitoba (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
If you use a computer for any great length of time in certain industries, you soon appreciate how important a good mouse is. I've tried the Logitech Laser mouse before this but buttons were in the wrong place, one button was located under the tip of your thumb, didn't work. But the MX Performance seems to have got it just right, fully customisable and the lower thumb button feels natural to use. The scroll wheel also has a speed button which is fast becoming a 'can't live without' feature.
I migrated from PC to Mac, so a compatible mouse was important (one button was never going to cut it with me) and the MX ticks all the boxes if you're a Mac user, a quick download and you're ready to use. Comfort wise, like all Logitech mice of this standard it fits snuggly into the palm of your hand, buttons have a light but solid feel and are placed just right for my hand. Tracking is smooth and precise, I've not tried it on glass yet, but I don't have a glass table. The mouse is also surprisingly light despite having a re-chargeble battery, incidentally the battery life is good so far, well I haven't charged it since purchase!
The only downside to the MX is possibly the price, it's not cheap, but I've wasted so much on mice that just don't work for me and this is a product that will undoubtedly last and will not be replaced for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Believe the hype!!!,
Mr. E. Holness - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
Having over the years mostly used Microsoft mouses, when deciding to purchase a new laptop I thought I would also get a new mouse. Having checked all the usual websites for reviews & checking the product at PC world I decided to purchase it from Amazon (best price on web). From the box to operating it for th first time, it was quality all the way, (& so it should be considering the price!), it comes with everything you need & is quite simply brillient, without doubt the best mouse I have ever used & probably will need to purchase another as long as it works! I have small to average sized hands & find it completely comfortable, all the buttons & switches are placed in easy reach for my fingers. No gimmicks, every button or switch has a useful function & can be reprogrammed if need. Tracking is exceptional as expected & battery life excellent, an all round top performer!!! In summary, buy this mouse & you will never need to buy another...

3.0 out of 5 stars Let down by poor battery life.,
Trip (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
This is a fantastic mouse, superbly weighted, comfortable in extended use, and extremely well designed. The configurable buttons are ergonomically placed for ease of use, the switchable scrolling is intuitive and quickly becomes a 'must have' feature. It glides around the desktop, and as it says, works on glass and other reflective surfaces.
The only significant drawback is the extremely poor battery life. It gets about 2 days per charge (which can be done at the wall socket, but I use the micro-usb cable connected to my monitor.) This is an issue even if you replace the provided rechargeable battery with your own, or use a standard non-rechargeable one.
I wanted a wireless mouse, and Logitech's mx was the best choice, using the same wireless usb port as my Logitech keyboard it still makes sense. What I didn't want was a cable on my desktop. I find myself connected far more than I would like, so two stars knocked off an otherwise excellent product. I would still recommend this mouse all in all, just be advised about the dismal battery performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Class,
The usual suspect (2nd aisle on the right, top shelf) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
As an owner of the MX Revolution, I toyed with buying this when it first came out but the price put me off. The changes didn't justify the cost for me. Now it's come down in price, I've cashed in for no reason other than the USB charging.
The things I didn't like about the Revolution seemed to have been resolved:
No middle mouse button. They've achieved this by moving the function/search button to the thumb area and put the scroll selector in it's place.
The power supply. They've changed over to a USB charging method with a changeable Ni-MH battery. The chargetime is vastly improved over the Rev and the life from a charge also seems good to me so far. Maybe not quite as long as the life from Rev full charge but the fact that I can now charge and use really helps anyhow. The recharge lead is far too stiff though unfortunately and when I do use the mouse whilst charging accurate work is tough.
The lower wheel is gone. For me, I never used it anyway - Alt Tab was already there as the function.
My Rev was starting to look a bit rough on the side where the mate coating was wearing through. They look to have stayed with the same coat on on the new version so only time will tell if it's the case. Besides that, look have been improved and the mouse looks very well polished. The new aluminium thumb surround looks very impressive.
Has it been worth the upgrade? Yes, in a word. For something that I use everyday the price is easily justified and I wish I had bought it when it first appeared now. The Revolution was a tough act to follow but they've managed it. The 'Darkfield' feature does nothing for me neither does the stage pouch that they supply to hold the charging accessories. More cost justifying, maybe?
I've uploaded a snap of the mices for a size comparision if anyone needs a look.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Performance MX has it all,
Oliver Kozak (Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
I use it as a "laptop everywhere" mouse. I am very happy with it.
When my laptop goes into the docking station, I use it as a desktop mouse (so I only have the keyboard attached), as the unifying adapter stays plugged into the laptop. As the unifying adapter works with many peripherals, I could just get a wireless Logitech keyboard (like K800), and leave near the docking station.
I also use this mouse as a remote controller when watching movies from the sofa. I was planning to get an infrared remote, but this gets the job done, too.
I like:
- All surfaces really (vs. MS Bluetrack doesn't work on a highly transparent surface, like glass kitchen table)
- Scroll-wheel can be switched to freewheel and rotary-click on the fly. This is the same cool as the Darkfield technology.
- DPI low/high can be changed on the fly (will have to sacrifice one of the buttons, ex. zoom or application switcher, though), the battery leds blink when dpi is changed
- Application switcher thumb button (although this is different from XP/Vista/7 built in features and only works with the Logitech software)
- Battery can be charged during use; battery can be replaced to use standard AA alkaline battery; Three leds show the battery level
- Can work in parallel with another mouse
- Small radio transmitter (so great for laptops carried in a bag, too)
- No pairing required, just switch on, and it works (vs. Bluetooth and older wireless mouses need pairing and/or connect )
- On-off switch (saves battery power)
- No lag after idle
- No silly blue led that would illuminate
I didn't like (these are just minor things):
- Logitech driver feels old-school (low res icon graphics, non-standard dialogs and menus).
- Ergonomics are fine, just too futuristic for my liking (I prefer the MS/Razor Habu Gaming mouse ergonomics).
- This is unavoidable, but the receiver takes up 1 of 4 USB slots constantly in my laptop (vs Bluetooth mouse can work with built-in bluetooth; however, I don't know how reliable is that)
- Application switcher not fast and smooth enough, so I rarely use it.
- Image zoom works in IrfanView 4.25, but doesn't work in Picasa 3.6.0 (under Windows XP).
- Back-Forward buttons are small for my liking; I prefer the huge buttons on the MS/Razor Habu ergonomics).
- Supplied USB cable is too rigid for mouse use. I use the cable of my Nokia phone, which is much softer.
In the box:
- Mouse
- Unifying transmitter
- USB cable with micro USB connector (cable also works with my Nokia phone, and can charge the mouse with Nokia charger)
- Power adapter has USB socket (compact size, works with the micro USB cable to charge the mouse or any other device, useful for overnight charging)
- USB extender cable (I've never used it)
- 2000 mAh AA NiMH battery GSYUASA EniTime (Sanyo eneloop style, keeps the charge)
- Soft carry bag for the cables (the mouse won't fit in this)
- Driver CD (outdated drives, download from logitech.com a fresh copy)
- Quick manual
I tried with Windows XP/Vista/7, worked well with all of them.
I think all mouse sensors will switch to the Darkfield or similar technology in 5+ years; it is so good.
I cannot tell of the battery life yet, and didn't try it with games. Very clean glass surfaces need a few minutes to get to work (so the surface gets dusty), as the sensor uses the dust particles to track the position.
It can be used in parallel with a wired mouse on the desktop (ie two mouses connected at the same time).
This is really a "has it all" type of mouse. I recommend both for laptop and desktop use.
For laptops, I recommend it over the Logitech MX Anywhere mouse, as this one can be charged/used with the USB cable, and works on more surfaces than the MS Bluetrack range. Furthermore, the large-sized MS desktop mouses have a huge USB key style adapter, which are not comfortable for laptop use.
Products referred:
Logitech MX Anywhere Mouse (Tracks on Glass)
Microsoft Explorer Mouse with Bluetrack
Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse
Update (2011 Feb):
* My current Dell E4310 has merely two USB slots - so there is just one left for pendrive, webcam, external HDD, headset, card reader.
* Now I have Windows 7, works well.
* The middle button click in Firefox opens up a link in a new tab - somehow this only works after 3-4 click. I don't know if this is a problem with an addon in * Firefox, or a Mouse driver issue.
* I use one of the additional keys (Application switcher) to switch on off my 2nd screen, and the other auxiliary button (zoom) to move windows from one screen to the other. A great feature.
* Instead of charging, I just bring a box of four Sanyo Eneloop batteries with me when I travel, and swap when low on battery.
* Battery lasts about 2-3 weeks without switching off the mouse and daily use.
Update (2012 Jan):
The middle button click was erratic in all applications (but it seems I used it mainly in Firefox).
Logitech customer support told me to send the mouse back for warranty at the point of purchase.
There is a DIY method to fix it on Inscrutables.
Updated (2012 Apr):
Unfortunately, Amazon gives two years of warranty, which has just elapsed. No luck.
Update (2014 Jan):
The middle click button still was really disturbing, as I would use it more and more (a typical usage is to close tabs in Chrome/Firefox).
I ordered a new mouse, but the middle button had even more problems, so I have sent it back.
Otherwise, the mouse works well.
I use WinsplitRevolution to organize windows on a double screen setup, and I use "Zoom" button to move windows between screens, and the Application Switcher to minimize/maximize windows.
Update (2014 May):
The left mouse button failed. A 100 Euro premium mouse should not fail after only +/-four years of office use. My cheap totally old mouses function error free.
Reduced rating to two stars. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars works a dream - and portable too!,
Hugo Minney "hugie" (Durham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
I've had the previous Logitech VX Revolution Wireless Laser Laptop Mouse for years (3 1/2 years) and it proved extremely robust even when slung into an overstuffed bag. But it got to the point where the left and right buttons had to be clicked in a certain way to respond. The VX was really useful, but I've upgraded.
This new mouse is fantastic! Everything about the VX Revolution that didn't contribute to the smoothest experience has been improved! I'm going to sound biassed but I'm as critical of my tools as the next man, and this is a really good mouse (until they invent an eye-tracking mouse, of course).
* to switch between free running scrolling and click scrolling was a switch on the underside, now it is on top (and I find I change modes regularly. Why would you want to? To find your place in a document scrolling line by line or half page by half page [click mode], to race to the start or end [free mode]). Oh it's very useful to scroll sideways as well, but the VX worked exactly the same on this
* zooming in and out of web pages/ documents etc (needed because I have a 13.3" HD 1920x1080 screen, so things can get very tiny) I now touch a button with the side of my thumb and then use the scroll; on the VX my first finger didn't quite find it comfortable (though could still do it without changing hand position)
* the universal receiver really does stay in the laptop out of the way, which means I get the mouse out even on short train journeys because I don't do any faffing around with the receiver
* the "switch windows" button is easy to reach and use
* both the old mouse and the new are very good at tracking mouse movement on every surface I've tried
Is there anything wrong with this mouse?
* some people report a lag whilst it wakes up after going into battery saving mode. I've been using a wireless mouse for so long I don't notice - I've developed a little "pre-wiggle" to wake the mouse up before moving it, completely subconscious and I've only just noticed I do it
* you can still run out of desk space - oh, perhaps that is my desk not the mouse's fault
* it doesn't read my mind. I want it to click on the window I'm looking at so that when I type it appears in the correct document, but unless I touch the mouse, nothing happens. Oh well.
I'm pleased with this mouse, and I think you will be too. NOTE looks as though you can buy exactly the same model for �20 more - don't!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Mouse for Big-Handers,
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
I bought this mouse on the recommendation of a friend, and they have converted me! The all round experience of using this mouse is excellent - from the obvious advantages of tracking on glass down to every little feature. I use it anywhere between 3 and 10 hours a day (I use my PC a lot...), with no comfort issues. There are loads of great things about this mouse, so I'll list some key points:
* Very comfortable for extended durations. I use my mouse with a 'palm grip', in my right hand (NB: this mouse only fits the contours of a right hand) and I haven't had any of the cramp issues I've had with previous mice.
* Useful software for remapping functions - the mouse has 4 hardware buttons under the thumb, which can be mapped to almost any function. I use them for audio controls - Volume Up/Down, Mute and Play/Pause. They work very well for this, and each brings up a translucent window on screen to confirm the function.
* Responsiveness - the mouse is incredibly sensitive in the finest mode, and the settings are highly tunable. Despite scepticism from gamers, I found this mouse fine to use with Counter Strike and Battlefield 3.
* Battery - the mouse ships with a Sanyo Eneloop battery, one of the finest rechargables in its class, and is charged through a USB port in the body of the mouse. It lasts a long time, and charges rapidly. It can also be used while charging, and the cable is designed so that this doesn't ruin gliding.
* Tracking and Gliding is excellent - I use mine on glass, and it's fantastic to be free of my mousepad. It has a good range - covering at least my reasonably sized room.
The packaging is excellent - no frustration or tears and no blister packing, and the accessories are all of a high quality - mirroring the excellent build quality of the mouse itself. It feels like it has a long life to it - I can't imagine it failing any time soon...
In summary, an excellent mouse. It might seem like a big investment in hardware, but it's absolutely worth it for the comfort that this mouse brings, given the time people spend using mice and keyboards these days. Go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mouse, good battery life, ruggedly built.,
Andy_atGC (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse(UK version) (Personal Computers)
Unlike most of the less expensive rechargeable mice, this uses a single AA-size rechargeable battery. I have owned this mouse for at least two years and is undoubtedly the best mouse used to date, surpassing in several respects the MX Revolution previously used. Unlike the older Revolution, it does not use a recharging cradle which I found annoying and slightly flaky, but a micro-USB lead to recharge. It is possible to recharge via a port on your PC if it supports the purpose but a recharging adapter is the better solution and was originally supplied with the product. If not now (and that it was I was told by a recent purchaser) they are now almost universal and easy and inexpensive to obtain.
Although fairly large, the mouse sits comfortably in my hand and a lady friend whose hands are considerably smaller than mine has no problems with it. It is a right-handed mouse and may not best suit left-handers. The mouse supports several functions including a scroll wheel which works in the vertical only, a pair of zoom buttons just under the thumb and an adjacent % button which magnifies screen text.
I find that the battery can be good for 2-3 days of moderately heavy use, but only about 20-24 hours of very heavy use before needing a recharge, which takes about 2 hours or less. When lightly used, it is good for about 7-10 days. I am aware that some of Logitech's current mice claim to be able to survive on a single non-rechargeable battery for several months, but they use a different technology.
The mouse requires use of Logitech's Unifying Receiver, which is supplied, and very tiny at less than 1cm deep once located in a USB socket. This device will support up to five more other Unifying products which can include keyboards, mice and some of the new touch gesture tablets now being offered primarily for Windows 8.
Although not inexpensive, it is currently being offered for much less than its original RRP which was the price I paid when it was first released. It is a little on the heavy side and slightly bulky but it does give the impression of being quite solidly built and has survived several instances of being knocked onto a hard floor without any obvious signs of harm, which is far less likely with a more modestly built alternative.
I like it that much that when Amazon offered a deal where they were sold about about half their original price, I bought a second as a spare. I also encouraged a couple of relatives to buy one each for themselves. Thoroughly recommended.

Reframing Disability and Quality of Life
A Global Perspective
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis volume brings together two parallel fields of interest. One is the understanding among psychologists and other social scientists of the limits to psychometric measurement, and the challenges in generating information about quality of life and wellbeing that enable comparison across time and place, at both individual and population levels. The second is the interest among anthropologists and others in the lived experience of chronic illness and disability, including the unpredictable fluctuations in perceived health and capability. Chronic conditions and physical impairments are assumed to impact negatively on peoples quality of life, affecting them psychologically, socially and economically. While some of these conditions have declined in prevalence, as a result of prenatal diagnosis, early successful interventions, and changes in medical technology and surgery, many of these conditions are on the increase as a consequence of improved life-saving medication and technology, and greater longevity. Quality of life is often used as an indicator for successful and high quality health services, and good access to medical attention and surgery for hip replacements or laser surgery to improve vision, for instance. But it is also used as an argument against interventions, when such interventions are seen to prolong life for its own sake. Yet we also know that people vary their idea of quality as a result of the context of fluctuations in their own health status, the presence or absence of pain or discomfort, and as a result of variations in social and economic contextual factors. In exploring these questions, this volume contributes to emerging debates related to individual health outcomes, but also to the social and other individual determinants that influence everyday life. Understanding these broader contextual factors will contribute to our knowledge of the kinds of services, support systems, and infrastructure that provide people with good quality of life and a sense of wellbeing, regardless of their physical health, capability and functioning.The volume includes scholars from all continents who have been encouraged to think critically, and to engage with the descriptive, methodological, social, policy and clinical implications of their work. less

By all accounts, Boston Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank is one of the more well-prepared coaches.
That explains the Detroit Pistons interest in Frank as a candidate to become the teams seventh coach in 12 seasons.
Frank, a former head coach of the New Jersey Nets, has been interviewed for the Pistons vacant coaching position.
When Frank, 40, was named interim coach of the Nets in January 2004, New Jersey roared to a 13-0 start a record for any coach of the four major professional sports at the beginning of a career.
He lasted until November 2009, after the Nets fell on hard times following the trade of Vince Carter.
Former Atlanta Hawks coach and Pistons assistant Mike Woodson, Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey, Milwaukee Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson and former Piston Bill Laimbeer are the other known candidates for the job.
Casey and Frank are candidates for the vacant coaching position with the Toronto Raptors although Casey is favored to land that job.
The Free Press first reported Wednesday that Sampson would interview for the job this week. Woodson remains a strong candidate and will meet with president of basketball operations Joe Dumars soon.
The job became vacant when John Kuester was fired June 5.

Arizona Coyotes
Kyle Chipchura would be a good fit for the Coyotes
The Phoenix Coyotes wrap up the preseason this Saturday and will have to reduce their current roster down to the mandated 23 players shortly thereafter.
Forward Kyle Chipchura deserves to be on that final roster.
While I haven't had the pleasure of seeing him skate so far this preseason, I've read several articles on him and listened to some audio and I like what my eyes and ears are telling me.
Not only did he stand-up with San Jose Sharks' young-blood Cameron MacIntyre and take a major for fighting, but his hustle is apparent and understanding of the game is there. Having already logged well over 100 NHL games, Chipchura thinks like a vet, but skates like a kid.
Plus, it would be fun to yell his name.
He won't feature on the top lines, nor should he. Despite being a first-round pick, Chipchura is a workhorse center who is not known for posting big numbers. However, the 25-year-old understands his role.
"I think for a guy like myself, who plays in a lower-line role, it works out pretty well," Chipchura said in an interview with PhoenixCoyotes.com.
I want to see Chipchura on the fourth line. With Kyle Turris still a hold-out with his ridiculous contract demands, there is a hole there. Prospect Andy Miele is also an option, but head coach Dave Tippet is generally a veteran-first guy.
Marc-Antoine Pouliot and Petteri Nokelainen are options as well, but I prefer Chipchura's experience and skating type. I'm a fan of Patrick O'Sullivan, but a big fourth line center who can hit is tempting, compared to a skill player like O'Sullivan. Put two young boys on the wings, like Mikkel Boedker and Viktor Tikhonov and that's a solid fourth line.
The Coyotes are expected to make cuts after their two-game trip to Canada, so it will be a few days of waiting for everyone involved, but I would like to see Chipchura hit the ice on Saturday night at home as a member of the 2011-2010 Coyotes.

Extend your Drupal 7 sites with custom modules, which allow you to create everything from admin interfaces to forms. Author Jon Peck describes how modules extend your base Drupal installation, then walks through how to write your own module with a practical example featuring geo-positioned alternative energy centers. The course also describes how to control access to site features, create new content types, build forms, understand data persistence, embrace coding standards, and much more.
So far the only persistent data that I've been dealing with have been persistent variables. While useful for storing settings, they have an extremely limited scope. Web applications typically handle many different kinds of content each with its own behavior and interactions. In Drupal, a single item of content is referred to as a node and each node belongs to a single content type. Each content type has a common set of properties such as publishing options, creation dates, unique identifiers, and so forth.
These properties are known as fields. For example, Drupal Core provides two content types enabled by default. Articles, which are generally used for information that is updated frequently and categorized, and basic pages which are typically used for static content. Other content types that come with Drupal core include blog entries, forms for discussions and polls. New content types can be created and managed using the Drupal admin interface. However, this can be a laborious process and doesn't typically offer custom functionality such as a triggered event.
A site administrator can export content types using contributed modules such as features, but depending on the project needs this can be cumbersome and requires an additional module to accomplish something that can be done efficiently yourself. By leveraging a content type a developer can take advantage of many of Drupal's built-in mechanisms for managing content widgets for entering and editing different kinds of data, validating and rendering, easy persistence, and much more. Additionally, the content type will be compatible with contributed modules such as views, feeds and others.
By creating and maintaining the content type in code, deploying site features becomes a more manageable task. I'm going to create a content type windfarm to store and display standardized data about windfarms. In particular, the content type will have six fields: the name of the facility, the description, the number of units at the facility, the wind turbine manufacturer, the latitude and longitude. I'll create some example nodes of content type windfarm then scale up by importing an existing table to populate the database. Let's get started.

I need a solution for purification of an his-tagged protein
Hello everybody,
For a long time I try to purify a his tagged protein. At the beginning, I load
the cells extract in a Nickel column. The result are great, about 10 mg of
protein per liter of culture. Unfortunatly, it still rest a small amount of
I 've tried to load the rich-protein fraction in an heparin column but it does
not work well, no more contaminants are eliminated. So, I check for others
solution wich are :
immunoaffinity column : Affi-gel (Biorad)
Gel filtration : Sephadex G-75
gradient of ammonium sulfate precipitation according to Englard et al.
However, I'll take so much time...
So, maybe, someone possess some others easier solutions to help me in
Thanks a lot.
I need a solution for purification of an his-tagged protein
Dear Bazeille,
How did you elute your protein from the Ni column? Mean, did you elute
with increasing concentrations of imidazole to get as much unspecific /
unwanted stuff off as possible? Then, elute it either with further
increasing imidazole oder just EDTA (then you have to re-charge the
column with eg Nickel chloride or -sulfate)
My suggestion for the workup is a stepwise ammomium sulfate (AS)
precipitation (actually, I had done it before the Ni column as you may
remove a lot of unwanted and interfering stuff without much effort).
You may start with 30% saturation and increase the AS in 5% steps up to
70%. You may add solid AS in order to keep the volume small, but add it
You might optimize the procedure with an aliquot if your protein and
analyze the fractions by SDS-PAGE after dialysis and then run the big
prep in batch mode.
Gel filtration is a good or bad idea, depending on the size of your
Ion exchange on a mono-Q or DEAE-agarose and elution with a salt (eg
NaCl) or pH gradient might work well then for further cleanup. For
'polishing' then HIC or another affinity step, depending on the
properties of your protein.
I need a solution for purification of an his-tagged protein
Did you use some imidazole in your Ni column binding buffer?? 5-20 mM
imidazole in the binding buffer should help eliminate some of the
non-specific binding.
Remove "yourfinger" before replying
I need a solution for purification of an his-tagged protein
Have you tried Dynabeads from Dynal? Er.. Invitrogen now.
They're coated magnetic beads that will specifically bind His-tagged
proteins. If you go to the American Invitrogen website, they're listed
under sku # 101-01D or 101-02D
Hope it helps,

i-Port Advance®
"It takes the shots for you."
i-Port Advance is a discreet injection port that comes with an inserter. You can take multiple injections for three days without having to puncture your skin for each dose of medication. i-Port Advance is intended for use during normal daily activities, including showering, bathing and exercising.
Once applied, only the soft cannula remains under the skin, allowing for direct medication delivery from the injection into the subcutaneous tissue. This simple feature provides the user with a virtually painless* insertion when applying the soft cannula (a small, flexible tube) under the skin. The result is a comfortable, dependable application experience* to allow you to inject your diabetes medications.
