Patented Nov. 21, 1933 THERAPEUTIC PREPARATION Winford P. Larson, Minneapolis, Minn and Mortimer Bye, Cincinnati, Ohio, assignors to The Wm. S. Merrell Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, a
corporation of Ohio no Drawing. Application May v1, 1929 Serial No. 359.712
3 Claims. .(01. 16768) The disclosure herein deals with supplemental and additional discoveries related to the disclosures in the patents to one of the co-inventors herein, and bearing Numbers 1,621,118; 1,621,119; 5 1,621,117; and 1,663,336, which cover the treatment of bacteria and their products with a salt of unsaturated fatty acids, especially ricinoleio acid. Reference is made to copending application Serial No. 513,355, illed February 4, 1931, 3 wherein this invention is broadly described and claimed.
Our further investigation of the action of salts of unsaturated fatty acids on various diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract in animals and man disclosed that certain gastro-intestinal disorders, especially disorders of the colon, are alleviated or cured by the administration of such salts as for instance sodium ricinoleate. This is probably due to the fact that ricinoleate fraction of the salt acts upon the toxins which result from abnormal putrefaction, fermentation and infection of the digestive tract, neutralizing the resultant toxins and thus preventing their absorption in toxic form.
We have further discovered that salts of certain unsaturated fatty acids, such as the sodium salt of ricinoleic acid, may be associated with or combined with preparations or substances to provide preparations which may be administered and applied in various manners for treating various conditions requiring therapeutic attention. To this end it may be made into a fluid liquid, 2. lotion, an ointment or paste, or a powder, the specific vehicle in each being naturally adapted to the particular mode of use as hereinafter exemplified.
We have discovered that salt of an unsaturated fatty acid, for example, sodium ricinoleate, oarried by fluid vehicles, facilitates treatment of 40 various internal and external body surfaces exhibiting abnormal conditions and that a fluid vehicle will carry the sodium ricinoleate into the internal and cutaneous crevices, into pores, and interstices. Our invention facilitates treatment of conditions that may or must be reached through body orifices. We have found that for such internal conditions, especially those wherein there is infection of the lower intestine or where there is abnormal discharge from mucous membranes, such fluid, liquid or lotion is particularly eflicacious.
Good results are attained from a preparation comprising 64 parts water, 30 parts alcohol, .61
part menthol, parts sodium ricinoleate, .05 part eucalyptol, .01 part thymol, .2 part sodium sali- ,cylate, .2 partsodium benzoate, and .02 part methyl salicylate, for oral use as a mouth wash or dental product.
In some instances good results may be obtained from a carrier'comprising approximately twothirds water and one-third alcohol, into which sodium ricinoleate in varying amounts may be introduced. Ordinarily sodium ricinoleate in the proportion of aboutv 1 part to 20 parts of the vehicle will give good results. It has also been to found that sodium ricinoleate admixed with mineral or vegetable oils and encased in gelatin capsules offer an ideal Way to administer sodium ricinoleate internally as the gelatin capsule enables the material to pass through the stomach to into the lower intestine, where the sodium ricinoleate is liberated and where its effects are made available, acting on the intestinal mucosa and the intestinal flora.
Preparations made in conformity with the disi6 closures herein, are particularly valuable for internal administration for the reason that the preparation has germicidal and detoxifying action, however, the antigenic properties of the infectious or infective organisms are not destroyed. co
Fluid preparations of the character disclosed herein possess the properties mentioned, and which properties are emcacious, regardless of whether the product is applied locally, externally or internally, or by hypodermic injections.
We have also discovered that salts of certain unsaturated fatty acids, such as the sodium salt of ricinoleic acid, for instance sodium ricinoleate may be associated with colloidal, paste or ointment-like. substances, whereby the sodium ricinoleate may be retainedin substantial volume on, about and around various infected body areas, internal and external, whereby to provide a continuous available supply of efiective sodium ricinoleate at or around such infection. In some extremely virulent cases of infection, the most effective treatment is attained only by a constant adequate supply of a germicidal and detoxifying agent at the place of infection. Generally the excretions of a mucous character tend to separate the therapeutic agent from. the surface requiring treatment, with the result that many times, failure to reapply additional therapeutic m'eparations, or to remove the mucous discharge to permit direct action of the preparation on the affected parts, delays recovery or healing. Sodium ricinoleate apparently has the property of permeating such mucous discharges, and if lt'can be retained in contact with the indicated discharges, by meansof a vehicle that 110.
and other excre'tions, and on the surface and in,
the interstices of the infected parts.
Good results may be obtained from a preparation comprising 15 parts petrolatum, 15 parts lanoline, 5 parts sodium ricinoleate, 3 parts beeswax, 1 part phenolated camphor and 1 part phenol.
- In some instances a composition of about 1 part sodium ricinoleate and 15 parts petrolatum will give good results. Our claims are not restricted to the use of such a base of vehicle 'as described above, as any vehicle suitable for carrying the sodium ricinoleate may be employed.
A further objective of this invention is to provide a preparation comprising such a salt of such an unsaturated fatty acid that may be used for treatment of such afliictions as are most readily and conveniently treated and with least pain and annoyance to the patient, when the preparation is in powder form.
We have found that a suitable base may be provided of 80 parts talc (purified), 10 parts starch and 7 parts zinc stearate. To this base is added two parts sodium ricinoleate and one part phenol.. A suitable quantity of any one of various desirable aromatics may be'added.
Although any one of the indicated base materials might be used to the exclusion of the other base materials, we have found that the approximate stated proportions of the indicated pulverized substances, provides an excellent carrier, having no deteriorating effect onthe sodium" ricinoleate, and apparently entering into such relationship with each other and the other ingredients, that the emcien'cy of the sodium ricinoleate is not impaired, but instead, its therapeutic effects are apparently enhanced. There is no evidence of sogginess developing in the preparation as one would ordinarily expect from a granular or pulverized substance when inoculated'with or associated with a heavy vege- 1,986,456 will release the sodium ricinoleate to the mucous table oil, fat or substance such as sodium ricinoleate. The resultant product is readily dusted over infected parts of the body, obviating physical contacts such as are necessary in applying ointments, and also there is obviated the softening of tissues and mucous as would result from fluid preparations.
The preparation has germicidal and detoxifying action; it detoxifies pathogenic and other organisms, without destroying the antigenic properties of the organism.
The preparation in powder form disclosed herein is one that is especially suitable for the treatment of dandruff and other irritations and infections of the head and scalp, and for infections and irritations, wounds, burns and lacerations of the body parts. We do not restrict our claims to the base as given above, as other suitable powder bases may be employed as a carrier or vehicle for the above described salts of unsaturated fatty acids, such as sodium ricinoleate.
By the statement, intothe mucosa, tissues and blood stream of the animal body is intended not only intravenous injection, but also the application of sodium ricinoleate, to such subcutaneous mucosa, and tissues as may be exposed as the result of wounds, operations, infections and the like.
In summary it is'to be particularly noted that the compound of the invention comprising the unsaturated salts of fatty acids, especially sodium ricinoleic acid in any and all forms suggested herein acts as a detoxicant without impairment of antigenic action.
What is claimed is: l
1. A detoxicant, therapeutic compound for internal use comprising sodium ricinoleate.
2. A detoxicant, therapeutic compound for intravenous administration comprising sodium ricinoleate.
3. A detoxicant, therapeutic compound comprising sodium ricinoleate, for introduction into the mucosa, tissues, and blood stream of the animal body, which compound combats the toxic condition in the body and blood stream when infections and toxins are actually present without destroying the antigenic properties of pathogenic organisms.

In our relationships we often want to share things with others — we want them to know what we're thinking and feeling, or convince them to think in a certain way. To do this, we have to carry out a miraculous task — to somehow get what's in our head over to the other person, so that they understand it in much the same way that we do.
In some ways this might seem like a simple task — you can "just tell them". And sometimes it is as simple as that. But in many cases it isn't easy — our thoughts and feelings are complex, or they are conflicting, or we have a sense of something but we're not really sure how to put it into words. And there may be a lot of background information that we know but the other person doesn't (imagine telling a stranger about something that just happened to your best friend). On top of this, we have to use a language where almost every word has several different meanings.
Perhaps this is obvious, but it seems to me that miscommunication and lack of communication are everywhere. I've been in more than my share of business meetings where almost no real communication happens — people talk at length about something that others pretend to understand but don't, or different people express conflicting points of view while congratulating themselves about reaching agreement. And in personal relationships I've had my share of arguments that later turned out to be… just misunderstandings.
Here are a few ideas I've had (or, more often, borrowed from others), and I'd love to hear your thoughts on ways to "get your message across" more effectively.
Keep it simple
This is classic advice, and I think, very useful. The simpler you make something, the easier it is for the other person to process and understand. After all, you've probably had a long time to think about your way of viewing things, but the other person must process what you're saying almost instantly.
If you have conflicting thoughts about something, keeping it simple may mean just picking the one that you feel the most. If someone asks your opinion about, say, the economy and you have twelve different theories about it, it may mean just picking one and explaining it, instead of trying to talk about all of them.
Another way we add complexity is by communicating our uncertainty, or "hedging" — using phrases like "maybe", "kind of", "I'm not really sure but", "it could be this or it could be that", etc. Sometimes this uncertainty is important, and it makes sense to convey it. But of course nothing in life is certain, and hedging can make what you're saying less simple and harder to follow (and can weaken its impact). So when appropriate, removing hedging can make your communication simpler and easier to understand.
Keeping it simple does often mean that you are cutting things out and modifying things just a bit to reduce the complexity. Does this mean you're misleading people or "not telling the whole truth"? If you're cutting out things that make you look bad and "enhancing" the story in your favor a bit, for example, then yes it does. But I think you can be true to the spirit of what you're conveying in a way that gives a faithful approximation to the truth. For example, when someone asks you what time it is and your watch says that it's 4:32 PM and 17 seconds, telling them that "it's four thirty" isn't misleading — it's giving your best simple approximation to the truth.
However, at times communicating what you want to communicate requires sharing something more complex. I think Albert Einstein said it best when he said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." Do your best to tell the simplest story you can, while still being true to what you need to communicate.
Just to make a point explicit — effective communication is usually not just giving the other person a "brain dump" of everything you're thinking. It usually involves putting your thoughts into a form that the other person can best understand.
One more point on this. "Keeping it simple" also doesn't mean that you treat your listener as if they were an idiot. Treating someone like a four-year-old can be frustrating for them, and result in leaving out relevant information.
Bad Example
Al: What do you think of Sara?
Lenny: Well, I think she's pretty nice. I mean, sometimes she can be a little, I don't know, pushy. But then again, she's had a rough couple of months, and it's actually kind of refreshing to have someone that stands up for themselves. So overall, I mean, good.
Better Example
Al: What do you think of Sara?
Lenny: A bit pushy, but I can handle it. I like her.
Similarly, keeping it simple means not needlessly repeating yourself — talking on and on and saying the same thing over and over can get in the way of a clear understanding (and cause the other person to "tune you out").
Make sense
Simply… make sense. Choose words that work well together, and be consistent with yourself and with what people know to be true.
Bad Example
George W. Bush: Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.
Better Example
George W. Bush (revised): Families are the hope of our nation; it is within families that our dreams take wing.
Speak to the other person "where they are"
It may be hard to believe, but, yes, other people have thoughts and feelings, and they are often different from your own! In many cases, there is a big difference between what's in your head, and what's in the other person's head. As mentioned above, an example of this is trying to tell a stranger about something that just happened to your best friend — much of what you want to communicate only makes sense if you know your friend.
I think the first step is simply to recognize that the other person has a different perspective, and to attempt talk to them so that it makes sense from that perspective. It may also involve a lot of simplification, since you often don't have the time to go into the background in detail.
This also means trying to figure out what the other person is really thinking and feeling, and addressing their concerns and values, even if the other person isn't stating them explicitly. If the other person asks "Is this the way to Times Square?" you don't just tell them "no", but tell them what the right way is and point out something interesting along the way. Making what you're saying relevant to the other person is also important, by making it interesting to them and something they can relate to. Finally, if your views differ from those of the other person, it often makes sense to address those differences explicitly, instead of stating your views as accepted fact.
Pay attention to rhythm and timing
Rhythm and timing are important aspects of conversation. One a small scale, the rhythm of your own speech matters. Frequent pausing to search for words can make it more difficult for the other person to understand you, as can stopping one sentence halfway through and starting a different one ("John is really… the important thing is that…").
On a larger scale, the rhythms of the conversation as a whole are also important. Taking turns talking, interrupting and dealing with interruptions, handling distractions and "side tracks", and deciding when to change the topic or bring up an important question are all issues of rhythm and timing. In many cases, speaking and transitioning smoothly instead of abruptly can make it easier for people hear and understand what you're saying.
Bad Example
Al: Look, I'm sort of feeling that… well, to give some background, I've always loved football. And when I get that… when that time of year comes around… I just feel that… I don't know…
Better Example
Al: I love football season — it's probably the thing I look forward to the most.
Make it interesting
People can only hear your message if they're paying attention to it — making it interesting makes it much more likely that they'll pay attention.
Be aware of the implicit message
The words we say form an explicit message. But the other person isn't only listening to our words — they're also listening to our tone of voice, and watching our body language and other behaviors. In fact, this implicit message is very important in helping the other person understand what we're saying, and whether they agree with it. It makes sense to be aware of this and realize that sending conflicting or negative implicit signals can make it more difficult to understand your message (or for the other person to accept it).

WACO (August 23, 2013) -- No. 10 Baylor (1-0-0) wasted no time in starting the 2013 season off with a 5-0 home win over UTSA (0-1-0) on Friday evening at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.
The Bears hit the back of the net five times in the first period, scoring in the third, eighth, 19th, 29th and 35th minutes. Vic Hoffman started the scoring as the first shot of Baylor's season came off her left foot from the right wing and sailed over UTSA goalie Katherine Tesno's head into the net. Five minutes later, freshman Ashley York put her first collegiate shot into the net from the box off a rebound of another Hoffman shot.
With one of the nation's best defenses, two goals was enough for BU to prevail but Kat Ludlow added to the lead and put a rebound off a free kick into the net, skimming the ball by Tesno's left side, in the 19th minute. Nearly 10 minutes later, Alex Klein intercepted a pass in UTSA territory and set up Natalie Huggins, who blasted the ball past Tesno from the box. Bri Campos rounded out the scoring for Baylor in the 35th minute with a well-placed shot from the box that was assisted by Justine Hovden.

Paisley Town Hall
Paisley Town Hall location map
Paisley's magnificent town hall was officially opened on 30th January 1882. The streets were decorated in celebration, and 12,000 people marched through them, waving banners and playing music. In the evening, a grand "conversazione", or gathering, was held for invited guests. Fireworks were fired from the town's High Church, and the crowd marvelled at the new electric lights in front of the hall.
The people of Paisley had long wanted a community hall. In 1872 James Clark began collecting subscriptions to raise the funds to build one. James Clark was a member of the famous Clark family of threadmakers. The family were successful, wealthy industrialists who employed thousands of workers in their thread mills in Paisley, Glasgow and America. In 1873, James heard that his brother, George Aitken Clark, had died in America and had willed £20,000 to build Paisley a town hall. The Clark family returned the subscriptions already collected, and declared that they would meet the cost in full. The hall would be named the George A Clark Hall.
By 1879 building had begun. A memorial stone was laid by Mrs Clark, mother of George, with a time capsule buried beneath it. Among the time capsule's contents was a portrait of George, a copy of his will, twelve coins of the realm and local newspapers.
The hall was designed by Belfast architect W H Lynn. The building features two temple fronts - Corinthian to the east and Ionic to the north. Facing the river, the facade has a cantilevered balcony looking towards the town centre. It features two towers, the taller with four clock faces and an octagonal belfry. Sculptured figures around the clock represent the four seasons.
The spacious interior included a main hall with balcony, designed to seat 2,000 and furnished with a grand organ which has since been removed. The Loggia suite with its vaulted ceiling was originally called the "Promenade", and was exclusively for the town's upper classes. They would enjoy refreshments there while attending public performances. The other rooms included a "Reading and Smoking Room" for the lower classes; a provision stipulated in George Clark's will.
The hall has been at the heart of Paisley's artistic and civic life since it opened in 1882. In recent years it has undergone extensive refurbishment and today it still provides a setting of timeless grandeur and elegance for meetings and ceremonies.

Hosie - In The Mood (Nathan Barato Remix) [Mood Records] by Nicole Moudaber published on 2012/12/20 15:28:39 +0000 NICOLE MOUDABER LAUNCHES HER MOOD LABEL IN STYLE THIS FEBRUARY WITH A STRIKING UNDERGROUND THREE TRACK EP MOOD Records, the brand new label founded by The Queen of Techno Nicole Moudaber, launches in February 2013 with a killer three-track EP with a Nathan Barato remix and a re-work from Nicole herself. MOOD's inaugural release will set the tone for showcasing the finest underground sounds which are both produced and supported by the DJ/Producer. The imprints debut track 'In The Mood' features the considerable vocal talents of Hosie. Centred on a tightly programmed funky groove and shimmering chords, the unmistakeable and infectious Hip-Hop influenced vocal complements Nicole's expertly honed studio-skills. Aimed firmly at the dance-floor this percussive house outing demonstrates Nicole's versatility, and will be a welcome addition to the record bags of a plethora of DJs. On the flip side, Nicole Moudaber again steps up to provide a much deeper rework of her original production. Here Nicole strips back the beat to its thumping bare bones and removes much of Hosie's original vocal leaving only echoing snippets, thus expertly creating a fresh atmosphere and tension. As the ethos of MOOD is to provide an outlet for works from both established names and newcomers alike, it is fitting that the inaugural release is rounded off with a fine remix by up-and-coming Canadian producer Nathan Barato. Nathan transforms the original by removing many of the groovy elements, instead adding driving hi-hats and a rolling bass which feature heavily throughout the track's series of exciting peaks and troughs. Due for release in late February, 'In The Mood' is a deadly debut EP for MOOD which is firmly steeped in the underground, and leaves listeners eagerly anticipating the labels next output.

PDT Sports Report
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Mark Weisman ran for 116 yards and scored a tying touchdown in the final minute of regulation, and Iowa went on to beat Michigan State 19-16 in double overtime Saturday.
While the result wasn't the one Spartans fans would have liked, local fans likely enjoyed seeing former Portsmouth West standout Trevon Pendleton lead the way for running back Le'Veon Bell.
Pendleton, who is a redshirt freshman that walked on at Michigan State, had the starting nod Saturday and it didn't take long for his impact to be felt. Pendleton was the lead blocker for Bell's rushing touchdown in the first quarter.
"We are all excited and super proud and our televisions are tuned in to watch," West coach Merril Triplett said. "His mother texted me this morning to let me know and we are all searching for a green shirt to put on. He's doing a great job for them, blocking well, running great patterns and we think he will be a great addition for them."
Mike Meyer kicked field goals in both overtimes, including a 42-yarder in the second that gave the Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten) their first lead of the game. Iowa then won it when Andrew Maxwell's deflected pass was intercepted by Greg Castillo.
Bell ran for 140 yards and a touchdown for Michigan State, but the Spartans (4-3, 1-2) couldn't hold on late. Iowa drove 68 yards in nine plays and tied it at 13 on Weisman's 5-yard scoring run with 55 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Hawkeyes appeared to be in trouble late in the fourth when they faced second-and-26 from their own 16, but James Vandenberg found Keenan Davis single covered along the right sideline for a 35-yard gain.
Weisman's 37-yard run on third-and-6 gave Iowa the ball at the Michigan State 8 and set up the tying TD, which also came on third down.
The teams traded short field goals in the first overtime. Michigan State could have won it with a touchdown in the second, but Maxwell's pass appeared to be tipped at the line of scrimmage, then deflected off the hands of wide receiver Keith Mumphery and was intercepted by Castillo.
It was the first interception for Maxwell since he threw three in the season opener against Boise State.
On a rainy day at Spartan Stadium, Vandenberg threw an early interception when his pass was tipped by defensive lineman William Gholston and picked off by Denicos Allen.
Michigan State took over at the Iowa 26 and gave the ball to Bell four straight times. His 14-yard touchdown run made it 7-0.
The Hawkeyes trailed 10-0 in the second quarter when Jordan Cotton had a kickoff return for a touchdown nullified by an illegal block. Iowa still ended up with the ball near midfield and drove for a field goal.
Michigan State missed a chance to score in the final seconds of the half because of a farcical miscommunication. Maxwell completed a 19-yard pass to Mumphery to the Iowa 32 with 6 seconds left. The clock stopped momentarily because of the first down, but there was mass confusion among the Spartans, who needed only to stop the clock with a spike and bring their field-goal unit out.
Michigan State eventually got lined up — but Maxwell, the quarterback, was nowhere to be seen. Bell went to the line of scrimmage as if to take the snap himself, and Maxwell finally ran over from the sideline to the backfield, but the clock ran out.
Many of Bell's 140 yards came with Pendleton leading the way. Triplett said his former players has earned every chance he gets going forward.
"Trevon is a fantastic practice player and his work ethic is unbelievable. He can accomplish just about anything," Triplett said. "An injury will just delay him a little bit and make him work that much harder. He's just a great kid and can turn a negative into a positive."
Triplett said Pendleton was the talk of the team's breakfast Saturday morning and added that Pendleton and former teammate Levi Ratliff, who is a preferred walk-on at Ohio State, have set a great example for current Senators.
"He has made believers out of the kids. He came back this summer and ran drills with us and explained to the kids the difference between high school and college. It's all about your intensity level," Triplett said. "He will come back this summer for our camp along with Levi Ratliff, who is at Ohio State right now, and share everything they have learned."

Dorchester County will be interviewing candidates for the newly created Director of Parks and Recreation position as early as next week, officials said.
According to Jay Byars, county councilman and Parks and Recreation Commission chairman, the county received roughly 50 applicants from in and out of state.
Although the county administrator, Jason Ward, will be hiring the director, Byars said interested Parks and Recreation Commission members may have an opportunity to sit in on the interviews. The commission developed the original language of the job position and, once hired, the person will be working directly with the body, which is an advisory commission appointed by County Council.
We got a lot of interest, some very strong candidates, Byars said. The resumes on some of these are just phenomenal.
He said there were about 12 candidates they classified as very strong who will be interviewed.
The interview planning is still preliminary, but he said the process should begin next week.
If a candidate is hired in April, Byars is optimistic the new director will begin work in May.

Have you every tried to use DynDNS? I have and frankly I didn't have much fun trying to get that to work with my DSL modem at the time. It would probably work now that I have a cable modem, but why should I bother. I have a much easier way to acquire the IP address of my SSH server anywhere I am by simply using a cronjob in combination with Dropbox.
First, if you haven't heard of Dropbox, then you must be new on computers right? Dropbox is a very popular file syncing service that can be installed on all of you favorite platforms from Linux to Mac to Android. Now this post isn't about Dropbox directly as there is a lot to be said about Dropbox. I would caution you that if you want to use Dropbox for really sensitive information, check out SpiderOak instead. SpiderOak offers enhanced security whereas Dropbox is all about ease of access.
Anyways, to get Dropbox on your Ubuntu box:
~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
You will have to setup a Dropbox account and link your current computer. Once that is done you will see a dropbox folder in your home directory. Anything you put in that directory will be automatically synced with any other linked devices that you have. This includes your smartphone if you have installed the Dropbox app there. With a basic account, you get 2gb free. Beyond plenty for my shell scripts. My pictures or music is a different story
Now for the cronjob. First, why would you want to know your IP address? Well if you read my post on setting up an ssh server, you will know that you can do a lot of sys admin work through an ssh session. To do that remotely requires knowing the IP address of your server. If you are a budget minded dude like me you most likely do not have a static IP and must deal with the regular dynamic IP changes that your ISP dishes out. Getting your IP is easy when you are at home, but when you are abroad you need a little help. Aside from having your room-mate read it off www.whatsmyip.org, the best way to get this is to setup a script to check it for you. I set-up the following bash script as ip_add_check:
#! /bin/bash
curl ifconfig.me > /home/andy/Dropbox/ip.txt
This I made executable:
~$ chmod a+x ip_add_check
Then I copied it to my cron.hourly folder:
~$ sudo cp ip_add_check /etc/cron.hourly/
Now, every hour the cronjob will check my IP address and overwrite the ip.txt which I have in my synced Dropbox folder. With my Android in hand I will never be without my ssh servers IP address and can always get my work done.

LG Optimus Pad hands-on
The LG Optimus Pad is essentially the T-Mobile G-Slate, but for the rest of the world, following the launch of the latter device at CES 2011. Fast forward a month and here we have the LG Optimus Pad.
It offers up a screen that's 8.9 inches on the diagonal and rocking a nice sharp 1280x768 pixel resolution. This is packed into a frame that measures 243 x 149.4 x 12.8mm and weighs 630g. It feels solid in the hand. It is light enough to port around one-handed, but we suspect when you're watching something you'll give it a two-handed grip.
The quality is also excellent, and it looks and feels like a premium device. This seems to be the route that most of the major manufacturers are going with their Honeycomb tablets, with some lesser non-Google Android tabs catering for the more affordable end of the market.
From our brief time with the tablet, the screen looks fantastic, with deep blacks and vibrant colours. It became immediately obvious that the glossy finish on the Optimus Pad is going to be a real fingerprint magnet, so keep your screen wipes handy.
Honeycomb in working form looks sensational, offering up all those optimised features for tablet users. It's also a dynamic system, perhaps moreso than the iPad, so you get the feeling that using a Honeycomb tablet you'll be better placed to multitask. This will need some close examination, but first impressions are very good.
The Optimus Pad that we played with didn't have a sim card in it, but seemed happy offering up websites over the busy Wi-Fi channels on the show floor. We're hoping to have a more detailed look at some of the features over the next few days to bring you more on this.
One of the quirky features - and one we're still arguing about here at Pocket-lint - are the two cameras on the rear of the Optimus Pad. As the screen is a standard display, i.e., 2D, you won't be able to view anything you capture in 3D on the Pad. But then, are you going to be filming with a 9-inch device? We think not.
Anyway, we've decided that offering 3D capture gives LG the chance to not only differentiate from the likes of Samsung and Motorola, but also play a part in its 3D creation story. It offers the means to view 3D content through its TVs, so why not offer 3D capture? There is the HDMI to output it afterall.
This is another device running on the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, and we already know that offers simultaneous Full HD encoding and decoding for your video, as well as great gaming opportunities.
So far we're impressed with the Optimus Pad. We're more convinced than ever that Google's insistence that Froyo wasn't for tablets is now more justified than ever.
Check out how the LG Optimus Pad matches up to the Motorola Xoom.

Re: No Innovation in First Person Shooters
There's a game coming out that may just be a bit , well not revolutionary coz a FPS is a FPS, but I believe will be a bit different from all the rest.
I'm talking about starship troopers, I've just seen the gameplay videos , and usually from those I can make out if a game is any good. Starship troopers looks like lots of fun, 8 marines vs 1000 bugs, continuous firing and reloading, etc etc etc....ofcourse Halo's flood and serious sam have already touched this 'genre' (lol) before, never the less I think I'll have a hell of a time playing trough it.
If I had to pick a theme for a new FPS , I would surely pick the warhammer universe, it's been done before (Firewarrior), but so badly it's not even worth considering as an attempt in my opinion. You could even have a kind of universal combat type of game (without the bugs AND without derek smart please), and have deepstriking assaults of marines and terminators on chaos marine's bases etc, also the huge ammount of vehicles and units and weapons would help keep it interesting, and space combat, cruiser boarding etc - not too many games where you can launch a drop pod and board an enemy spaceship (having battle of proxycon flashbacks right about....now)
Thered also be tank and dreadnought fighting (mechs), spreading mayhem troughout planets , could make a pretty decent single player game, altough I believe the scope would be too broad to make a multiplayer game.
Seems good to me...

Press Releases
Dr. Faye Pappalardo Named 2007 Citizen of the Year
Release Date: 11/13/2007
CONTACT: Sylvia Blair
Executive Assistant to the President
Carroll Community College
Dr. Faye Pappalardo Named 2007
Citizen of the Year
Rotary Club of Westminster Bestows Honor
Carroll Community College President Dr. Faye Pappalardo was honored by the Rotary Club of Westminster as its 2007 Citizen of the Year on Nov. 7, 2007 at Wakefield Valley in Westminster. Dr. Pappalardo has been president of Carroll Community College since 1999.
The award was given for "service above self" and for dedication to improving education in Carroll County. As part of this award, the Rotary Club makes a donation to a charity of the recipient's choice. Dr. Pappalardo chose the Helen Pappalardo Scholarship Fund for nursing students through the college's Foundation.
"This was absolutely a surprise," said Dr. Pappalardo. "It was very humbling to hear the complimentary remarks by the speakers during the award presentation. I felt extremely honored that the Rotary selected me for this award. I am proud of Carroll Community College and all the hard work of our faculty and staff."
The person selected for this award is an outstanding member of the community who has contributed to the local area in some significant way. "We are most appreciative of all of Dr. Pappalardo's efforts on behalf of our community, especially on behalf of local students who get a start through a college education in this burgeoning institution," said Rotarian James Lighter, in his remarks during the award ceremony.

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics is currently the most powerful computational technique that captures the dynamics of any physiochemical reacting system using only the knowledge of its elemental composition – hence 'Ab Initio'. The basic workhorse -- the quantum density functional theory (Q-DFT), is used to compute the atomic forces via the Hellman Feynman theorem, which when neglecting the electron motion (assumed to be too fast on the time-scale of ion-motion – the Born Oppenheimer approximation), solves Newton's equations of motion to obtain a time-dependent trajectory. This technique has lead to our understanding of a range of complex material systems, such as the interaction of water with oxide surfaces for fuel cell applications and chemical reactions of battery electrolytes on electrodes for Li-ion batteries, among other challenging systems studied at ORNL. The usefulness of the technique is accelerated by the availability of Q-DFT codes that scale very well on some of the world's fastest supercomputers. Another class of quantum dynamics simulations introduces a time-dependent Hamiltonian for electrons, enabling description of (a) externally driven systems and molecules that are subject to a strong laser field for which a linear response approximation is not valid, (b) processes with coupling and energy transfer between nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom, and (c) non-equilibrium processes such as electron transfer in redox reactions.

Probiotics are friendly or "good" bacteria that, when ingested in adequate amounts, are beneficial to health. These healthy bacteria fight harmful bacteria, preventing illness and gastrointestinal infections. In the marketplace, probiotics are most commonly found in yogurt but also in other fermented foods such as miso, raw kimchi, raw sauerkraut, and kefir; they are found in much greater quantities in probiotic supplements. Depending on the symptoms, a person may benefit from taking probiotics to improve gastrointestinal health. Discuss your situation and specific symptoms with your doctor or dietitian and decide whether you might benefit from probiotics.
The Celiac Center is providing this list as a useful resource on probiotics; however, the hospital is not endorsing or recommending the use of probiotics, any particular product or specific brand.

Truth and Lies in the Jewish Tradition
Jewish moralist literature sets a high standard of truthtelling, but one not without exceptions.
By Rabbi Louis Jacobs
We Also Recommend
Reprinted with permission from the entry "Truth" in Louis Jacobs, The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.
Generally speaking, while Judaism obviously attaches great significance to intellectual honesty, as evidenced, for example, in the constant quest for the truth in talmudic debates and among the medieval philosophers, the main thrust in the appeals for Jews to be truthful is in the direction of moral truth and integrity.
An often quoted rabbinic saying ([Babylonian Talmud] Shabbat 55a) is: "Truth is the seal of the Holy One, blessed be He." In Rashi's explanation [Rashi is the foremost medieval commentator on the Torah], this saying refers to the Hebrew word for truth, emet, formed from the first letter of the alphabet, alef, the middle letter, mem, and the final letter, tav. The God of truth is found wherever there is truth and His absence is felt wherever there is falsehood.
The prophet similarly declares: "The Lord God is truth" (Jeremiah 10:10) and the Psalmist declares: "Thy Torah is truth" (Psalms 119:142). Of the verse in Psalms: "And speaketh the truth in his heart" (Psalms 15:2), one explanation by the Jewish moralists is that the God-fearing man should keep his promise even if he only made it in his heart, even if it was no more than a promise he had kept to himself without revealing it to the one to whom he made it.
This is based on the talmudic tale of Rav Safra ([Babylonian Talmud] Makkot 24a). Rav Safra was approached to sell something he had and was offered a price which suited him, but he was unable at the time to signify his consent because he was reciting his prayers and was unable to interrupt them. The prospective buyer, under the impression that the rabbi had rejected his bid, kept on increasing the price but the rabbi insisted on selling for the original price to which he had consented "in his heart." Naturally, this kind of exemplary conduct was not intended for all, otherwise it would not have been recorded for a saintly man like Rav Safra. But the stern injunctions throughout Jewish literature against cheating and dishonesty in business affairs and in other areas of life are directed toward every Jew, as when the prophet says of his people: "They have taught their tongue to speak lies, they weary themselves to commit iniquity" (Jeremiah 9:4).

In one of the most stunning, non-progressive moves seen from a technology company, Yahoo! has banned working from home. The justification was to improve speed and quality by working side-by-side as one. This begs the question – is the issue really virtual work or the lack of good management coupled with an inability to capitalize on the virtual work environment?
There is a New Currency:
The truth is that the new currency for top tier talent is freedom. These people came to the realization long ago that gold-watch retirements are a thing of the past, and to ensure a long-term career meant taking matters into their own hands. Since the benefits offered by corporations such as insurance and paid vacations are not part of this new world of work, freedom and flexibility became the desirable traits.
Spend the New Currency with Better Management:
Progressive companies attract creative, productive talent with the way they "manage people," which truthfully is not to manage people at all. Rather than buy into the "productivity can only be seen" mode of thinking, companies that embrace the virtualization of work product attract that always sought after motivated self-starter.
To capitalize on this new work currency, companies must:
$2 Bills Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time:
Forcing people to return to a cubicle breeds a level of mistrust. Obviously those who have enjoyed the freedom of virtual work environments will feel that they are not empowered to perform their job on their own. The top tier talent won't make the cubicle walk of shame. They will simply find another place to commit their talents. Only those who feel they do not have a choice will succumb.

[author: Juanita F. Ferguson, Esquire]
The upcoming presidential election has dominated the headlines. As a nation, our attention has been focused on the state of current laws, the prospect of future laws, and even the need for certain laws. As an industry, construction is no less affected by and subject to a myriad of laws that can and do impact the way developers, builders and other construction professionals operate on a daily basis. Knowledge of the various codes is not only essential to operating a successful construction project, it is the foundation for a contractor to ensure improved communications with clients, other professionals and the enforcers of the various regulations by which the construction industry is governed.
What is the "Code?"
Depending upon the jurisdiction in which a construction project is located, construction professionals will be subject to at least one, and more likely, several codes. Most projects in the Commonwealth are subject to the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, referred to as the USBC, Virginia Code §§ 36-97 et seq. The USBC prescribes building regulations that are to be complied with in the construction and the rehabilitation of buildings and structures, and the equipment used in construction. The USBC also adopts and incorporates the International Building Code. Local jurisdictions may also have building codes that are specific to a geographic area.
The Code is a Living Document
Just like the governing documents for the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia, construction codes are not static documents. They are subject to revisions and often, the impetus for the change is input received from those subject to and affected by the various code provisions. The Virginia Building and Code Officials Association communicates the concerns and the desires of building safety professionals to the appropriate state legislative bodies regarding the USBC, which includes the Virginia Construction Code, the Virginia Rehabilitation Code, and the Virginia Maintenance Code. The Associated Builders and Contractors ("ABC") is a national organization that acts as a political advocate for the interests of its members, which includes general contractors, subcontractors, developers, and others working in the construction industry. ABC advocates for changes to laws that affect chapter members on both statewide and local levels. The Associated General Contractors of America is a trade organization that educates general contractors and also acts as a proponent for change of those laws that are incongruous with the completion of construction projects. All of these organizations have local chapters to encourage participation in the local communities where construction occurs.
Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse
The average construction professional working on a project in the Commonwealth has a basic understanding of the USBC. And while knowledge of its provisions is equally important, less contractors are aware of the Virginia Administrative Code ("VAC"), Va. Code §§ 54.1-1100 through 54.1-1143. The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation ("DPOR") is a governmental agency of the Commonwealth established to enforce the VAC. DPOR governs everything from oversight of licensing of contractors, to review of complaints from consumers, to authority to require contractors to participate in remedial education, fine violators, or revoke or suspend licenses. Despite the reach that the agency has to impact contractors' ability to work not only in the Commonwealth, but also in other cities and states in the United States, it is surprising that so many large and small contractors do not have an appreciation of the need to be in full compliance with the VAC. The likely reason for that is many consumers in the Commonwealth also do not appreciate, or even know, that DPOR exists to make sure that their construction interests are a concern of the Commonwealth.
Just a few of the violations for which a contractor's license may be subject to suspension or revocation include:
Some of the violations are obvious (negligence) while others are less evident (failing to satisfy judgments). In any event, it is imperative that contractors have a grasp of the existing laws as well as any proposed changes so their business operations are not unduly interrupted.
Construction codes are driven by past practices, the need for increased safety, and the advocacy of stakeholders in the construction process. Understanding the laws will hopefully decrease the likelihood that construction professionals are actually in violation of the laws. Irrespective of corporate or individual political affiliation, it makes good business sense for construction professionals to make their concerns known about construction codes – it is a dialogue that more likely than not will produce positive outcomes.

Neil Young says..
'If you do it for the music, you do it for the music and everything else is secondary. Although that has been hard for me to learn, it is the best and really the only way to live through a life dedicated to the muse. Sometimes I am in a groove and everything is going great… and then I wake up one morning and it's over. I can't say why, but it is definitely time for change. This change is not arbitrary or capricious. It is spawned by an underlying sense of what is needed to keep the creative process alive and thriving. Sometimes a smooth process heralds the approach of atrophy or death. So the change must be made, as disruptive as it may be.' Neil Young – 'Waging Heavy Peace'

Possessions (Ours)
Connie Klepper of the Registrar's Office
won this year's Lucy A. McCall Award for support
staff, and Larry Mayers of the groundskeeping staff the
Louis J. Mirra
Award. Both were presented at the annual holiday dinner for
faculty and staff.
Connie Bednar Klepper '90 has worked
at the College for 25 years, in the Development Office, for
the vice president
for planning and research, and now in the Registrar's
Office. As her citation noted: "Even under the most
stressful circumstances—especially under the most stressful
circumstances—she is efficient, helpful, patient, and
unflappable." The editor of InCommon can confirm this,
as in the weeks prior to Commencement, Connie keeps tabs
on the constant confusing changes of students from "walkers" to
graduates and back again.
"One of our institution's greatest
assets is the undeniable beauty of our campus," President
Rokke said in his remarks about LarryMayers, who has nurtured
that beauty
for almost two decades: as dependable as he is visible,whether
planting new beds, clearing walks in winter, or setting
for a campus event. "At the same time," the
President said, "he perfectly complements his big
hands with an even bigger heart," donating books
and plants to the College in the names of faculty or
staff members.
Jon Conrad, director of human resources,
was the second
recipient of an Impact award for exceptional service
to the College
and Seminary. He was presented with the citation and
check at the Colonial Hall staff Christmas party in December.

Video games are games that involve interaction from a human with a user interface in order to generate visual feedback on a video screen device. The video in your video game refers to the raster display device. Now, the term video games imply any type of display device, which can be your computer monitor or television. The system that you use to play video games is known as a platform. Some examples of these platforms are video game consoles and personal computers. The user interface that is used to manipulate your video games is known as the game controller. These game controllers will vary according to what kind of video game platform you are going to be using. A dedicated console controller may consist of a button and a controller known as a joy stick. The earliest personal computers had video games on them and they relied on the keyboard for the video games to be played. In today's modern world we have the keyboard, mouse, joy sticks and key pads for video games to be played.
There are many types of cheap video games available such as cheap PSP games, Xbox 360 deals, cheap PSP memory card, and other cheap video games. You can even do a search online for a video game rental store, where you can rent video games. At some stores you can even buy video games.
The history of video games goes all the way back to 1948. This is where the idea first came about having video games and was patented by Thomas Goldsmith, Jr. and a person by the name of Estle Ray Mann. In 1958, a video game named Higinbotham's Tennis for Two was created. Then later in 1962, Spacewar was invented which was hailed as the very first computer video game in history. In 1972, Magnavox Odyssey was developed as the very first video game console for the home. A man by the name of Ralph Baer is credited to have created the first home video game console.

How to Confess to Your Crush That You Like Him
You're crazy about the guy you like and you can't hold it in! But you think to yourself how do I tell him. There are two or three ways to do that. Read and find out!
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Tell your crush in person. Tell your crush you'd like to see a movie some time. If he or she still isn't getting the hint that it's a date, say something like, "So, it's a date, right?"
2Hint your feelings to your crush. Say it simply but with conviction.
- For girls, remember that a teenage guy isn't very perceptive and needs you to get to the point. Touch him gently on the shoulder, alter your gaze between his lips and eyes, brush your hand against his lightly; he will read your body language!
3Hint a kiss. Tell your crush to close his or her eyes, and press your two middle fingers to their lips lightly. Then pull them away a distance so that he or she knows it was only your fingers. If your crush flinches, laugh it off and say it was only a joke; if he or she stays in position, ask your crush for a kiss for real. It might be embarrassing, but it's a massive turn-on.
We could really use your help!
- Smile at your crush.
- Be the way you are. Be yourself!
- Talk to your crush as much as you can but don't overdo it!
- Don't be clingy.
- Rejection is a real possibility, so be ready for it. No matter how much you want to believe he will also confess his love and you two will live happily ever after, telling him something like this could make your relationship as friends awkward for the rest of the time you know him. Often, it is best not to tell him/her something like this until you are sure that they like you back.
- If your crush has a girlfriend leave him be. You'll just get in a fight and the guy you like probably won't like you. Same if your crush has a boyfriend.
