Your Next Trip to the Airport May Be Fueled By Algae

|The imaginary algae Ferrari of the future
The company is converting its entire fleet of airport shuttle buses -- more than 600 vehicles -- to biofuel. For now soybeans will provide the power but a report from yesterday's St. Louis Business Journal says algae -- the tiny blue-green plants that clog up your favorite fishing hole -- is their fuel of the future.
The change will happen gradually. The rental giant hopes that all its buses will be powered by five percent soybeans by the coming spring,
The company -- the largest privately held business in St. Louis -- estimates that the change will save 420,000 gallons of diesel in the first year alone, the equivalent of taking 60 buses off the streets.
As for the algae...
...the Business Journal reports:
Enterprise created the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Creve Coeur with a $25 million gift in 2007 from the company's founding family, the Taylors of St. Louis. Scientist Richard Sayre is leading the algae research at the Danforth Center.Wikipedia (take it with a grain of salt) has a very in-depth entry on algae biofuel. The highlight:
Among algal fuels' attractive characteristics: they do not affect fresh water resources, can be produced using ocean and wastewater, and are biodegradable and relatively harmless to the environment if spilled. Algae cost more per unit mass yet can yield over 30 times more energy per unit area than other, second-generation biofuel crops. One biofuels company has claimed that algae can produce more oil in an area the size of a two car garage than a football field of soybeans, because almost the entire algal organism can use sunlight to produce lipids, or oil.The only bad news is that it appears St. Louis will not be immediately included in Enterprise's eco-friendly change. Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Raleigh/Durham, San Diego and San Antonio will be the vanguard.
*UPDATE 11:50 a.m.: A representative from Enterprise's PR company called with a slight correction. Half of the company's buses will be running on 20 percent soybean biodiesel by the end of next year, not 50 percent soybean biodiesel as we originally reported. Also, St. Louis will be among the first cities to switch to the eco-friendly fuel but, unlike the nine listed above, the vehicles here will run on five percent rather than 20 percent biodiesel.

Can somebody tell me if it's possible to have in a same cluster, nodes with SOLR and Hadoop using Internal Authentication?
In an effort to consolidate free help offered for our products we have decided to move these forums to a more widely used forum. Please use one of the following queries (or any combination):
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to have in a same cluster, nodes with SOLR and Hadoop using Internal Authentication?
yes, mixed workload clusters support the security options in DSE 3.0 onwards. With authentication enabled, inter-node communication in distributed Solr queries and running Hadoop jobs will use the built-in security mechanisms. From a client perspective, this is transparent although clients will obviously also need to authenticate when communicating with the secure cluster.
Thanks Sam!
My problem is that i am using Internal Authentication and i can´t connect to my Hadoop nodes.
I saw that there is a limitation to work on with Hadoop and internal authentication.
Can you suggest something to fix this issue?
Hi Felipe,
sorry, I think I misunderstood what you meant by "Internal Authentication" in your original question. DSE does not support the use of PasswordAuthenticator with Hadoop. If you need to secure a DSE cluster with analytics nodes, you'll need to use Kerberos authentication as this is the only authentication mechanism supported in Hadoop right now.
Hi Sam!
Thanks a lot for replying.
I'm thinking on change somethings to solve this.

Week 17
Your Baby
How big is my baby?
This week your baby is about 11-12cm (4.4-4.8 inches) in length and weighs approximately 100 grams (3.5 ounces).
Fat begins to form on the fetus from this week and aids in heat production and metabolism.
Your Pregnancy
What pregnancy symptoms will I be experiencing?
By the start of week 17 you will be noticing an increase in the size of your abdomen. Some people may still be able to get by wearing looser clothing, while others will be wearing maternity clothes. You may also be able to feel the top of your uterus just below your umbilicus (belly button), especially when you are standing. Some women experience ligament-stretching discomfort, which occurs as the uterus increases in size. This is called round ligament pain and is quite normal, but can be uncomfortable at times.
Antenatal (pregnancy and birth) classes are available to all pregnant women and their partners. They are recommended, especially for first time parents. The classes cover many topics associated with your pregnancy, birth and beyond, including labour and birth and changing nappies. Most hospitals provide antenatal classes but they tend to get fully booked very quickly, so it is advised that you book in for classes at your first antenatal visit. Private classes are also available. Your health care professional will be able to provide more information.

The BMW M3 ended its career in the DTM with a sensational first-time win for ex-F1 pilot Timo Glock. Remember him, that bloke in the Toyota, right corner/wrong gear who helped Lewis Hamilton win his world Championship in 2008?
Lewis himself turned up at the weekend in rainy Hockenheim for the last event in this year's ten race series to cheer on the Mercedes teams, and having the champ around was certainly a boost: HWA Team driver Roberto Mehri came from the back of the grid to lead a heft chunk of the wet and dry race. With the recent form of the AMG C Coupe, that came as something of a surprise.
Mike Rockenfeller and the Audi RS5 had already wrapped up the 2013 DTM driver's title two weeks ago. Yesterday, on the same day Audi secured the World Endurance Championship in a bizarre 'race' in torrential rain in Japan, Rocky's Phoenix operation added the 2013 DTM Team prize. But Audi's spoils and Mercedes' apparent return to form (it's won just two races this year) didn't stop the final round of this years' DTM being all about BMW and the M3 DTM, which will of course be replaced by the M4 in 2014.
M3s took the first four places on the grid after the shoot out on Saturday, last year's champ Bruno Spengler on pole with rookie teammate Dirk Werner (the man to beat in practice) alongside in the other Schnitzer M3.
Brit Andy Priaulx (the former triple World Touring Car Champ, and fresh from last weekend's Bathurst 1000) had his best qualifying run yet in the RMG Team M3 in fourth, ahead of Glock's MTEK car. Best placed Audi was fifth, in the hands of Miguel Molina, Rockenfeller's Phoenix teammate.
A poor start saw Glock drop back and tangle with another BMW, championship runner-up Augusto Farfus, who came off worse this time. After that the F1 star showed his class in the tricky conditions, made up the places and picked off all but Spengler who'd gotten away cleanly and quickly from pole. Glock and Mehri clearly best got their heads around the conditions and, once Daniel Juncadella's Merc' had tipped Mattias Ekstrom in to spin, the battle was pretty much between them and them alone. But Glock had in it the bag, passed Mehri with six laps left and was comfortably ahead after Mehri made a late final pit stop. Spengler was third, Priaulx a solid-looking sixth.
So that's it for the DTM for this year. In 2014 the series returns complete with a new schedule that will take it to China for the first time (sadly for UK fans, it seems at the expense of the Brands Hatch round) and the BMW M4. Among the pilots we do hope to see Herr Glock back. He's found out this year, like many an ex-F1 driver, that a DTM car is no pussycat. But despite the DTM being something of a preferred retirement plan for F1 drivers, Glock is part of a minority that have actually won a race. As the only ex-driver in this year's field, he'll be very pleased he has.

With a plot straight out of a South Park episode, sixth graders from a middle school located in the St. Louis area (see map above) are facing punishment after starting a "Hit a Jew Day" at school — a pretty small target in a town like St. Louis. Apparently, the students were participating last week in an innocent-enough "Spirit Week" when their "Hug a Friend Day" quickly became a Semite slap-down under the leadership of some misguided, snarky pre-teens.
While the injuries were minimal (one student was allegedly slapped in the face, others were tapped on the shoulder and taunted) and the punishments quick and fair (suspension and counseling for those who actually laid the smack down, lesser punishments for the taunters) all the kids in the school were called into an assembly led by the principal.
Perhaps the most disturbing part of the story comes when the St. Louis regional director of the Anti-Defamation League says that she believes the economic crisis may be spurring anti-Jewish sentiments. The economic crisis? Those are some seriously fiscally-concerned sixth graders.
We speak for all the Jews when we say, "Thanks ALOT Alan Greenspan!" — Evan G.

Political Pulse: 05.14.06
Strayhorn's petition drive far from easy
Independent gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn's petition drive to get her name on the ballot continued down to the wire Thursday evening. Her staff hauled in another 5,800 signatures before the deadline for a total of 228,800.
"It was not an easy process," she said, describing signing efforts that had a pregnant woman stopping by a signing station on the way to the delivery room and last-minute campaign efforts by one of Strayhorn's close friends, who died soon afterward.
"We played together as babies," Strayhorn said, losing a grip on her notorious cheerfulness and choking up. "I got a call from ICU and I went over there at 9:30. Jane and I had a lengthy visit and everybody thought she was getting better. When I went back the next day, her two sons were there. Not only did she sign the petition, she had her nurse sign before she died."
Signatures for Strayhorn don't impress Perry camp
Thursday afternoon, Gov. Rick Perry's spokesman Robert Black was unimpressed discussing petition numbers gained by the independents running against Perry.
"I saw Kinky got 169,000," he said of humorist and author Kinky Friedman. "In terms of Carole Strayhorn, I was less than impressed. She only got 1.9 percent of the eligible voters to say she needs to be on the ballot. I don't think that's a ringing endorsement.
"She had three professional firms, an army of paid volunteers and four months to get her message out, and 1.9, that's not much. Texans are getting pretty tired of that act."
Cornyn will offer views on immigration reform
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has been promised a seat at the table when lawmakers hash out the differences between House and Senate immigration bills.
Cornyn was here in February touring the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Surveillance Branch West, facility at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, where he promised more funding for agencies charged with homeland security and border protection.
"My focus will remain on fighting for stronger border security, interior enforcement, employer verification and reform that brings the current illegal population into compliance with the law," Cornyn said Thursday. "The differences between the House and Senate bills are significant, and the solutions will be difficult. But it's important to have border state senators on this committee to help craft a final bill that meets our national security and economic needs."
Port attorney called 'close to angelic'
Port of Corpus Christi attorney Jimmy Welder was the object of affection at Tuesday's port meeting. As Chairman Ruben Bonilla listened to Welder answer one of his questions, Bonilla turned his chair to look at Welder, who was sitting beside the port's executive director, John LaRue. "There's something going on with you two," said Bonilla, smiling.
"You seem to be getting extra light at that spot. I must admit, this is as close to angelic as I've seen any attorney, and it's quite refreshing."
District 32 challenger praised by NRA affiliate
This week the Texas State Rifle Association, the state affiliate of the NRA, awarded Texas House District 32 challenger Juan Garcia III its highest rating.
While the organization maintains a "friendly incumbent" endorsement policy, Garcia's "A" rating will be listed in the General Election Voters' Guide sent to the organization's membership, as well as to the national NRA.
"Juan's a different kind of Democrat. He's got my support," said local gun collector and NRA member Jan Ketchum. Garcia is running against Republican incumbent Gene Seaman.
Garrett, Simpson josh exiting Ingleside mayor
Ingleside Mayor Gene Stewart gave a farewell to fellow members of the Coastal Bend Redevelopment Planning Committee during a regular meeting on Friday at the Ortiz Center. Having termed out as mayor, Stewart was not eligible to run in Saturday's election.
"He just thinks he's going somewhere," replied committee chairman and San Patricio County Judge Terry Simpson.
Corpus Christi Mayor Henry Garrett chimed in, pointing to the audience, "You'll just be sitting over there."
CCISD trustee declines comment on e-mail
On Tuesday, an e-mail began circulating from Corpus Christi Independent School Board Trustee Larry Elizondo to friends and supporters to inform them he would not seek re-election to the board in
Instead, he wrote, he will make an important announcement at 4:30 p.m. May 22 at Corpus Christi City Hall.
Elizondo, who has represented CCISD's District 3 for four years, declined to comment.

(WREG-TV) Author Sarah Mlynowski joined us to talk about her new book, 'Don't Even Think About It' which can be described as sci-fi teen novel.
The book revolves around high schoolers who develop special powers after receiving a flu vaccine shot, "We definitely didn't expect to get telepathic powers. But suddenly we could hear what everyone was thinking. Our friends. Our parents. Our crushes. Now we all know that Tess is in love with her best friend, Teddy. That Mackenzie cheated on Cooper. That, um, Nurse Carmichael used to be a stripper."
Mlynowski will be signing and reading from the book at the Booksellers at Laurelwood Saturday April 12 at 2:30 p.m.

Lucky LupitasMore Restaurant Reviews
New Mexican venue steers clear of kitsch. Dianne Mattsson reports.
Over a jug of sweet prickly pear margarita it's fun, and a relief, to read the writing on the walls, such as: "Mexican people don't eat burritos, chilli con carne, or wear sombreros".
The message gives us hope that we're in for genuine Mexican food, part of a growing challenge to the ubiquitous US/Tex/Mex gloop.
If you can imagine Mexico's tiny, outlying villages, Lucky Lupitas' peasant-style interior looks like it could have been plucked from a dusty, spaghetti western-style town's edge, with roughly rubbed timber tables, pocked and holey bench slabs, chilli sauce bottles (albeit with pictures of sombrero-clad men), and mismatched crockery. There are no loud striped blankets or pinatas, but a clever industrial touch in a copper pipe maze housing overhead lighting eases the step to a shiny open-kitchen.
The cafe opened about two months ago in the funny little shops at the corner of Flinders Drive and South Rd, below the Flinders Medical Centre. I say funny, because over the years this little centre has oddly suffered high turnover with an incongruous retail mix.
These corner stores are finally finding a mojo, with five diners feeding medics, students, local workers, and now, a broader crowd in an on-trend search for real Mex food. Pressure must be on, with news of another Mexican specialist soon to open on Magill Rd.
Casual to a fault, with no bookings taken, it's first come, first served at Lupitas. That's fine for the locals. We're advised to arrive by 6.45pm. At 7pm on this week night, we're invited to wait on a gnarly footpath bench. Not ideal, but it's a short wait. We three scoot into a tight spot with one facing the info wall and buffeted all night in the busy aisle.
Our big soda glasses of pink cocktail mix have a wonky rim of good but chunky salt. Yep, this is going to be rustic.
Happily, the A3 paper menu promises street-foods and interesting ingredients that couldn't be further from the usual bowls of bolognese with beans. Mandatory nachos feature, but with crisp housemade toasty corn chips and pulled chicken. They're popular with the young crowd, as are soft tacos which look fresh and uncomplicated. We prefer starters to share, but it's difficult to organise with staff unwilling to alter the pieces per plate. So, we take two single-serve elotes, which are grilled corn cobs doused in chipotle mayonesa, cheese and lime. The cobs are rolled in a nice crumbly spice mix (which the waiter is unable to explain), that adds crunch to the creamy corn. The cobs could easily be chopped for a good share plate.
Easier to portion is tostones, a standing round of "twice-cooked" plantain chips wedged into a bed of black bean mash and habanero-tomato salsa. The plantains are like crispy potato fritters, with a hint of banana in the aroma and a sweeter finish.
We're expecting serious heat from the habanero salsa but it's just piquant – a trend across the menu, in fair Mexican style.
Hot sauces are at hand for those keen to sweat.
Three smoked chicken empanadas are filled with a delicious mix of chicken, corn, cheese, onion and coriander, but the fresh masa pastry is doughy and the filling has no liquid to be soaked up, so we use them to scoop guacamole, pico de gallo (tomato, onion salsa) and sour cream.
All of the salsas sampled are fresh, with brightness from tomatoes and young greens, but they ache for a heavier hand on the zing, to balance and pack a little bit more Mexican punch.
Yuca (cassava root) comes chips-style in a bag, on a board with a mustard spiked dip. They are richer than potato, and soak up oil, much like those great crunchy end-bits from the regular chip fryer.
"Refrescos" are limited to Mexican sodas, three house wines and five South American-style beers, surely ideal with "hamburguesa" stacked with Peruvian salsa and spice-driven sauces.
Our best main is wood-smoked, slow-cooked "Lucky Ribs". At first, the heavy smoky aroma is fierce, but the meat is perfectly cooked and flavoured, and satisfyingly slips off the big smooth bones.
They come with a choice of housemade sauces, including chimichurri, but ask for a boost of lime and pepper if you want it to really sing over the meat.
Camarones (prawns), at $20.90, yields plenty of tails (not our SA-plumps), drenched in fresh, sweet soup-like tomato. Menu talk of orange in the mix is hard to pick.
There's one dessert, "a flan". Again the friendly, but not-too-savvy waitress says "it's not like a fruit flan, just custard". In fact, it's a traditional, heavy moulded custard with burnt toffee sauce. We go seeking the nice hit of vanilla in its heart, but have to spoon it out because the sauce is so bitterly burnt it's virtually inedible.
A shame, but my two young adults, quite a foodie pair, are having fun and planning to return with friends – fair recommendation from budget-conscious diners getting serious about their food.

If the answer to this question is yes, you have come to the right place. In today's globally competitive marketplace, survival depends on producing higher quality products at lower costs. This can only be accomplished if you have an efficient and effective Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) system. The purpose of this website is to provide you with information about the training , consulting and software tools that Harpco Systems provides so that you can implement and maintain a world class APQP system with a minimum amount of time, money and people.
Increased FMEA and Associated APQP Documentation Effectiveness
The vast majority of APQP documents like the Design FMEA and Process FMEA are not done correctly. There are two reasons for this. First, although companies have people who are experts in their product designs and processes, they often times do not have people who really understand all of the elements of a strong APQP system and how they were designed to work together. Secondly, the majority of the available training is taught by people who have never been responsible for the design of a product or running of a process. As a result, much of the training is focused on simple products where the breadth and depth of questions is limited. Consequently, it is not uncommon for people leave without an understanding of how to perform a FMEA on a product that can fail in hundreds of ways and is manufactured to hundreds if not thousands of specifications.
The lack of in-house expertise and adequate training results in the correct APQP forms being used but incorrect or inadequate information being placed in the forms. The problem is compounded when outside agencies auditing the forms do not understand their purpose or required content. Audits are passed with little or no improvement in product designs or processes. After some time people complain the APQP forms process has failed when in fact it was never implemented.
The Quality Plus Structured Design and Process Improvement Methodology and Quality Plus® Software were designed by managers of companies that have effectively implemented Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) Systems which resulted in significant improvements in product quality and process productivity. The two products present APQP and its associated documents in simple to understand terms while assisting you in effectively implementing APQP on your most complex products and processes.
Faster FMEA and Associated APQP Documentation Generation
The Quality Plus® Software not only helps you create the APQP documents correctly but will also help you do them faster than ever before. Using its internal intelligence, Quality Plus® Software learns about your design and manufacturing systems as you use it. After a brief time using Quality Plus® Software, companies can reach a point where Quality Plus® Software is automatically generating customized and linked APQP documentation in a fraction of the time it takes to generate similar documentation with conventional APQP or spreadsheet software programs.
Document Compliance: AIAG 3rd & 4th Edition, IEC 60812, BS 5760, SAE J1739 TS16949, VDA, FDA Part 11, MIL-STD-1629A FMECA
Quality Plus® Software and the Quality Plus Structured Design and Process Improvement Methodology outputs are designed to be compliant with applicable industry, national and international quality standards. If the standard you are interested in is not listed, please contact us.

'We ARE Getting Married': Britney Spears Fires Back At False Claims
Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have been hit by tabloid claims they have called off their wedding – but a spokesman for singer stated on Friday there is no truth to the rumors. The 30-year-old X Factor judge and Trawick announced their engagement back in December last year.
They have yet to announce a date for their big day, although there has been talk of a winter wedding. A couple of American publications published claims this week that all is not well between the pair, with one website reporting the wedding has been postponed.
RadarOnline quoted a source as saying Britney and Jason, 40, had planned to marry at the end of December but they have been 'fighting non-stop'.
And Us Weekly quoted an insider as saying: 'The romance has gone… I'd be shocked if they got married.'
Britney's publicist Jeff Raymond, however, has brushed off the reports as 'desperate' – insisting the claims are untrue. Mr Raymond did not give details of when the wedding would take place.

SAO PAULO, Nov 24, 2011 (AFP) - Australian Mark Webber admitted on Thursday that he is looking forward to some surfing and relaxation when the Formula One season is completed following Sunday's season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix.
The 35-year-old Red Bull driver, who has struggled to match his double championship winning team-mate German Sebastian Vettel this season, said also that he hopes to carry some of his improved momentum through the off-season and into 2012.
"I am planning to go back for six weeks and to have a good rest and get away from it all," he said. "I have been better in the last few races than earlier in the season so I am hoping to carry that with me into next year as well."
Webber also admitted that the age gap between him and 24-year-old Vettel was a significant factor in his struggle to compete with the wunderkind.
"I weigh 10 kilos more than Sebastian," he said. "That has a big bearing on weight distribution which has a big bearing on starts, which has a big bearing on how the tyres hold up.
"But I have had that for my whole career, I can't be much lighter so we have to work with what we have.
"But right now, I am looking forward to the break. There are three more important days work with the guys, but it'll be nice when the calendar flicks over. I will do some surfing and spend less time in England!"
He added: "But the momentum is important too - you know, the start, say the first half a dozen races (in 2012) are important, there are no big changes on the tyre front although the blown diffuser will be different.
"Although it might not have showed, my performances have been better than at the start of the season... At my last Grand Prix (Abu Dhabi), the race on Sunday was competitive even though I was down 20 or 30 pounds of down-force.
"In fact, on Sundays, generally I have been competitive. So, if the tyres stay pretty similar, which I believe they will then I should be okay next year."

The hot but overcast conditions set up a perfect afternoon on the water for teams starting practice Tuesday for the 2012 Mountain States Dragon Boat Festival.
Putting on life jackets and positioning themselves on either the far left or the far right in a section of the boat, coaches instructed teams, including the first team on the water, Pediatric Paddlers, on rhythm and techniques that could be useful for their weekend races.
The 7th Annual Dragon Boat event will be held Saturday, starting with an opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m.
Patty Bolton, corporate director of signature events for Mountain States Health Foundation, said the Dragon Boat event is such a fun and unique event for all involved, as participants paddle the 250 meters at Boone Lake helping to raise money and awareness for Mountain States Health Alliance oncology services.
"You just see everybody having fun. It doesn't matter how old you are, how big you are or how skinny you are, you can do something," she said. "We have teams coming from all over the region and we are turning it more into a festival. Funville comes and we have Dragon Land and that's sponsored by the First Tennessee Foundation and you can bring your kids and they can play there all day on all of the blowups."
Food vendors and an array of artists also will be at the event to entertain and feed visitors.
"There is something for everybody. It's so colorful. Everybody has a tent, they decorate the tent," Bolton said.
This year already has already seen increased participation from past years, as well as an increase in other events for those who just stop by to check out the race. "This year we have 37 teams on board," Bolton said. "Art in the Park is growing. We have over 40 artists that are going to be there and we (will) have people from the Farmer's Market."
Shooting for $100,000 in donations from this year's event, Bolton said she expects the competition to be fierce and for it to be a fun time for all.
The Science Hill High School band will held kick off the opening ceremony and the competition is projected to end at around 3:30 p.m.

Honors scholars build confidence that they can be whatever they decide to be. In a competitive job market, that confidence can be the deciding factor during an interview. Of course, the permanent notation on your transcript that you are an Honors Program graduate will also be a significant asset when you begin your job search or apply to graduate school.
The Honors Program is not for everyone. It is challenging and rigorous and it is intended for outstanding students who wish to develop flexible, independent, and creative minds. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Honors Program, Honors scholars are prepared to make decisions based on a broad educational background.
As an Honors student you may begin work in your major field much earlier and complete a double major if you wish. Choosing from a wide variety of courses, you will engage in several specially-designed interdisciplinary Honors courses. Teaching these courses is a select group of vigorous, creative, and enthusiastic faculty who view teaching and learning with a sense of wonder and adventure. When it comes to helping you develop your potential, the energy and excitement they produce is contagious! Honors scholars also complete a culminating thesis or final project.
No. The Honors courses you will take are designed to provide a balanced liberal education and take the place of the usual liberal education requirements. No student in the Honors Program will be required to take more classes outside his or her major than they would if not enrolled in the Honors Program.
The Honors Program is the most selective program at Bemidji State University, so classes are usually small. Honors faculty work closely with Honors students at all times, and students often develop close bonds with faculty and other Honors students. Students describe the atmosphere of an Honors classroom as intense and exciting, but also informal and friendly. They describe their teachers as serious, exacting, and expert, but also warm, humorous and caring.
Honors students who successfully complete their undergraduate study with a grade point average of 3.25 (in a 4.0 system) are given special recognition at commencement exercises. They wear the Honors stole with their academic robes and, if they qualify, are graduated cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude (with honor, with great honor, with highest honor), depending on their grade point average.
Bemidji State University has an excellent record of helping students who need loans, grants, scholarships, or work-study funds to attend university. In fact, over 80 percent of the students attending Bemidji State University receive financial aid. Honors scholars automatically receive special consideration for scholarships, and many receive them.

Zinc Supplement
Zinc is an essential trace component that plays an important role in many enzymes and biological processes throughout the body. Holland & Barrett stock a wide choice of zinc supplement products to incorporate into your daily consumption regime.
What is Zinc?
Zinc is an essential mineral that naturally occurs in various foods and is available as a supplement. Zinc is found in all regions of the body; muscles and bones contain approximately 90% of the body's zinc.
Zinc has various responsibilities and helps to stimulate activity in many enzymes. Zinc is important for maintaining health levels, as low levels and an insufficient intake can make an individual more vulnerable to disease. This means that zinc is particularly important for immunity levels, the synthesisation of DNA, as well as the promotion of healthy growth and development during childhood.
Properties of Zinc
There are a number of benefits that can derive from using zinc supplements and ensuring the adequate intake of this mineral. Zinc is essential for growth and cell dissection, especially during pregnancy. Zinc is also important for fertility levels in males.
Zinc also has the most significant impact on the immune system, as it performs a vital role in the T-cells. Lower levels of zinc can result in the reduction and weakening of the T-cells, which means that they are unable to identify and combat infectious agents.
Holland & Barrett supplies a wide range of supplements to help you get all the zinc that you need to support and maintain your health. Our selection includes:
- Holland & Barrett Selenium Plus Zinc Tablets
- Holland & Barrett Vitamin C and Zinc Lozenges
- Holland & Barrett Calcium Magnesium & Zinc Caplets
- Holland & Barrett Zinc Picolinate Caplets 25mg

Ratnadvipia karui belongs to a genus of land snails that is endemic to Sri Lanka. Ratnadvipia karui was discovered and described by Museum scientists Dr Dinazarde and Fred Naggs carrying out field work in Sri Lanka.
This recently discovered species (Raheem and Naggs, 2006) has a partly membranaceous, ear-shaped shell, which is completely or almost entirely concealed by the mantle. The shell measures 19-22 mm in width and 6.5-8.5 mm in height, and in life, adults snails are between 60-90 mm in length. The colour of the body in living snails varies from grey in juveniles to dark grey, orange or brownish yellow in adults.
The genus Ratnadvipia consists of two species, Ratnadvipia irradians and R. karui, which can be easily distinguished from each other.
The snail Ratnadvipia karuiis endemic to Sri Lanka,in an area restricted to southwest, where it only occurs in lowland rainforest. Discover more about the habitat of this Sri Lankan snail.
Learn more about what is known of the biology of Ratnadvipia karui.

Does the OnCollisionEnter method only get called when the game object on which the script is attached to is the one which initiates the collision?
Listed below are the results of a few tests I've done that have led me to this query.
Object 1 (CC) = character controller with collider
Object 2 (RB) = non-kinematic rigidbody with collider
Case 1: CC is not moving and is below RB, RB is falling down due to gravity
Result: RB falls on top of CC, RB initiates the collision, OnCollisionEnter is called
Case 2: RB is not moving and is below CC, CC is falling due to gravity simulated by a character controller movement script
Result: CC falls on top of RB, CC initiates the collision, OnCollisionEnter is NOT called
Case 3: CC is not moving and is above RB, RB is falling up due to reversed gravity
Result: RB falls on the bottom of CC, RB initiates the collision, OnCollisionEnter is called
Case 4: RB is not moving and is above CC, CC is falling up to reversed gravity simulated by a character controller movement script
Result: CC falls on the bottom of RB, CC initiates the collision, OnCollisionEnter is NOT called
The OnControllerColliderHit method on my character controller always get called in all cases.
Several varieties of these 4 cases have also been tried, but the results were always the same.
So, like I was asking, does the OnCollisionEnter method only get called when the game object on which the script is attached to is the one which initiates the collision, or is my program just wonky?
asked Feb 27, 2011 at 11:04 PM
While answering a forum post, I realized what the actual issue was. A static rigidbody would technically be sleeping, and since collision events with character controllers aren't detected by a sleeping rigidbody, no collision message would be sent.
This is an old post. I just wanted to post the "answer" in case someone else was wondering about this. No further answers are necessary.
answered Jul 07, 2011 at 07:15 PM
I just ran into the same issue, and I'm not using a character controller. Turns out a sleeping rigidbody won't generate OnCollisionEnter messages for any collider. Pity.
Jul 10, 2013 at 11:17 PM yoyo
I'm not sure what you mean by initiates the collision. What object has the OnCollisionEnter script attached to it and what are you actually trying to do? It may just be me but what your trying to explain isn't clear at all. To answer your question OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider. check out http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Collider.OnCollisionEnter.html for a bit more info on the process.
answered Feb 27, 2011 at 11:33 PM
What I basically want is some way for the "character" (a game object with a character controller and a collider) to activate OnCollisionEnter from a script attached to a non-moving game object with a non-kinematic rigidbody and a collider. When I say "initiate the collision," what I mean is that the object is moving and colliding into a non-moving object. In all the testing that I've done, OnCollisionEnter on the non-kinematic rigidbody doesn't get called when the non-kinematic rigidbody is not moving and the character controller is.
Feb 28, 2011 at 05:43 AM Dreamblur
I think the problem is that CharacterControllers are a little odd. Some people here advocate for using a standard collider+RB for your character, with a redone script, if you want them to act more like "physics objects."
I recently performed a similar test where I dropped a rigidBody collider onto a (non-RB) collider, and everything worked fine -- both OnCollisionEnters got called every time, for every bounce.
I believe what happens when a CharacterCollider hits something is the same reason charControllers can't push things. Some magic jumps in and deals with the situation, stopping the character short, before it officially hits and calls the other collider.
Other things I've noticed: triggerBoxes don't work when they are moved (use SphereCasts,) and CollisionStay isn't called for objects rolling on the ground (but that was 2 versions ago.)
answered Feb 28, 2011 at 01:56 AM
Yes, I think the character controller component is the one causing the problem as well. The rigidbody calls the OnCollisionEnter method when it's the one colliding with a non-moving character controller, but nothing happens when said rigidbody is the one not moving.
Feb 28, 2011 at 05:47 AM Dreamblur
Ah thank you for clarifying. you can either try what owenpat has suggested, i think it's quite common, however if your want to keep your character controller on (we've used CC from the beginning and never had a problem,plus i believe it's easier to move and customise than a rigidbody) still not sure why you want this to happen, you know a rigidbody is usually for moving a simulating physics, if it always stays still then you can just have a collider on it to act as a trigger zone. If possible a little more info about what exactly you want to achieve in game (like "i want my character, on entering the trigger, to jump") Then we may be able to help even more. on your playable character make sure it has a character controller, i don't think it needs the collider. Make sure it's tagged "Player" on your non moving game object (the one with a rigidbody) make sure it does have a collider and it is ticked to be a trigger. On the rigidbody object put a script that says something like: this states that when the player enters the trigger area (initiates collision) the object will access the players script and change a variable.
Then on the PlayerMoveScript something along the lines of:
Sorry for the forum code, we have an object with a trigger on it which our player enters to jump (its basically a jump pad) obviously change some of the variable so that it fits your game and what you need to do. im just making an exapmle based on what you've told me if im missing a trick here, tell me and i will edit this post accordingly!

I do have a suggestion for your frizzies though. There is a Paul Mitchell shampoo called Awapuhi Ginger. It's in a black bottle and it's made to tame frizzy hair. There is an oil that you put on before you blow dry and it will give you the look of a Brazilian blow out. It's a little pricey, but worth it.Shanahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752096004125581506.post-38261466635343195272011-02-11T09:49:48.848-06:002011-02-11T09:49:48.848-06:00I say cut it.

Obviously this isn't always true, but it usually is. There are only a few cases where analytics is not a waste of time. And to be honest – time while spent inside of an analytics tool usually doesn't take very long.
The key to not wasting time with analytics is to be conscious of exactly what you need to know before digging around inside of a bunch of tools.
If you know what you're looking for it shouldn't take very long to find it.

Continuity Practice
Highland Family Medicine
This practice has grown to 20,000 patients from 7,000 families who come from neighborhoods throughout Rochester and represent the full spectrum of age, race, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Providing continuity care at this busy office are seven teams of faculty and resident physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants, and secretaries, many of whom have worked at the practice for over twenty years. Additional onsite resources include behavioral health specialists, an immunization outreach worker, a Family Planning team, a social worker, four care managers, and medical specialists in OB/Gyn, Sports Medicine, and Geriatrics. HFM's immunizatio- and lead tracking programs have been recognized by local medical and public health officials as the best in Rochester.
Quality assurance is built into practice operations. The P2 rotation has been developed to include residents in all aspects of this design and implementation. The electronic health record system is remotely accessible to providers making practice call more efficient. Colposcopies and other procedures are performed on site. Videotaping and observing patient encounters, including family meetings, are available in several rooms. A reference library with access to all the latest online health care research is centrally located. In addition, HFM houses faculty, administrator, and resident offices, as well as conference rooms.
Brown Square
The Inner City Family Medicine site was added in 1981 to provide the opportunity for interested residents to develop the skills necessary to care for an inner city population. Up to six residents (two per training year) develop their three-year continuity practices at the Brown Square Community Health Center. Brown Square is one of three CHC locations that make up Jordan Health Services.
Brown Square Health Center is located about 10 minutes from Highland Hospital, on Lake Avenue, a busy avenue connecting downtown Rochester to Charlotte and Lake Ontario. Brown Square's location on a busy commercial strip belies the areas of need in the surrounding area. Brown Square draws patients from both the Northwest and Northeast sections of the city, representing some of the poorest neighborhoods in the area. Patients also come from several suburbs of Rochester, representing those families who have moved out of the city but want to maintain the connection to the physicians who cared for them over time. The center provides comprehensive health care to the indigent, working poor, the uninsured, and some HMO participants. Patients represent diverse heritages, including African-American, Caribbean, Italian, Puerto Rican, Southeast Asian (Vietnamese, Cambodian, Burmese, Karen, Thai, Laotian), African (Somali, Sudanese, Liberian, Burundian), and Eastern European (Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish). Jordan Health Services provides medical, dental, and support services, including on-site diabetes case manager, a dietitian, a perinatal care manager, and HIV case management.
The center is staffed by full-time family physicians, family medicine residents, and nurse practitioners. Precepting is provided by Brown Square staff family physicians.
Ambulatory Family Medicine
The primary goal of this four-week rotation is to expand and refine the skills needed to see patients efficiently, confidently, and competently, with an emphasis on the further development of an individualized outpatient practice style. Faculty supervision is incorporated to support residents in individualized goal-setting. The rotation includes continuity patient care sessions, individualized skills sessions, team-centered care functions, and a practice management project. Residents are encouraged to individualize their learning experiences, and opportunities exist to pursue interests in family counseling, clinical protocol development, office procedures, gynecology, sports medicine, behavior change techniques, etc.

Lydia Howell: To foment fear of Democrats' allegedly "socialist" policies, Republicans "No taxes! No spending!" (except for war and prisons) cry has been amplified to an absurd degree. Of course, there also is the now standard howl: "The Muslims will get you unless we keep 'The War On Terror' going at home and abroad."
Hypocritical Outrage: Why the Process of Engineering This Health Reform Bill Is No Uglier Than the Rest of Congress' Handiwork
Tanya Acker: Twice last week I was on panels with Republicans who expressed surprise about the "unseemly" tactics employed by Democrats in passing health care reform. The horsetrading was so "venal!" The process so "hyperpartisan!" Noble Americans, we should all be so very shocked! Well, not really.

CHAMPAIGN, lll. – For cancer drug developers, finding an agent that kills tumor cells is only part of the equation. The drug must also spare healthy cells. And – ideally – its effects will be reversible, to cut short any potentially dangerous side effects.
University of Illinois researchers report that they have assembled a new cancer drug delivery system that, in cell culture, achieves all of the above. The findings appear this month in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
The team began with the knowledge that small, membrane-bound compartments, called liposomes, are useful as drug-delivery vehicles. When linked to molecules that target receptors on cancer cells, liposomes can enter and dump their cancer-killing contents into those cells.
Scientists have spent more than a decade trying to direct liposomes to specific cancer cells, with limited success. A common approach involves attaching an antibody to the liposome membrane. Ideally the antibody will bind to a cancer cell receptor so that it can deliver the liposome – and the cancer drug – into the cell. Developing such antibodies is costly and time-consuming, however, and the process of attaching them to liposomes is difficult to control. Antibodies spur an immune response, requiring extra steps to create a useable therapeutic agent, and the ability of antibody-conjugated liposomes to bind to cancer cells can be inconsistent.
Some small molecules, such as folate, a vitamin, also work as cancer cell targeting agents, but those now in use are not as good as antibodies at binding to cancer cells.
To solve the cell-targeting problem, the U. of I. team turned its attention to small molecules called aptamers.
"Aptamers are short strands of DNA or RNA; they are highly efficient binders, and are very easy to make, label and manipulate," said Zehui Cao, a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of chemistry professor Yi Lu, who led the study. Materials science and engineering professors Gerard Wong and Jianjun Cheng were co-principal investigators on the study with Lu. Graduate students Rong Tong (who is co-first author on the paper with Cao), Abhijit Mishra and Weichen Xu also worked on the study.
Lu's laboratory specializes in isolating aptamers that bind to specific molecules and converting them into effective sensors and diagnostic agents. His team used an aptamer that binds to nucleolin receptors, which are found in abundance on certain breast cancer cells. The researchers then developed an effective method for attaching the aptamer to a liposome loaded with cisplatin, a drug that effectively kills cancer cells but has troublesome side effects when administered intravenously.
Tests in cells grown in the lab yielded promising results. Four days after they exposed the cells to the new drug-delivery system, 59.5 percent of the breast cancer cells had died, while less than 12 percent of breast cancer cells treated with cisplatin alone had died.
"By labeling a liposome that contains cisplatin with a cancer cell-specific aptamer, we have shown delivery of the drugs to cancer cells without significant damage to regular cells," Lu said, "making it possible to maximize the drug potency while minimizing its side effects."
This approach "integrates the advantages of small molecules and antibodies," said Cheng, who helped pioneer the use of aptamers as targeting molecules for drug delivery. "This is the first study to integrate the aptamers and the liposome."
Another advantage of using aptamers as targeting agents is that they are easily disabled. They readily bind to complementary DNA, which prevents them from interacting with cell receptors.
The new approach will be useful for many applications, Wong said. "What we're really doing here is coming up with a general toolbox to deal with a broad range of cancers."
"You can change aptamers to target a different type of cancer, you can change the therapeutic molecules to fight cancer or other diseases, and you can reverse the dose," Cheng said. "That's a lot of tools in the toolbox. It has great potential."
The collaboration between materials scientists and chemists was made possible by administrative structures at the U. of I. that foster such partnerships, Wong said. The work was supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center grant, the NSF Career Program, and the Siteman Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (SCCNE, Washington University) – Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST, UIUC).

Who cares what others say? I'm a die-hard Auburn fan for life, but I say congrats to the best team and the National Champions! RTR!!!
It ain't Stoops people. I live in Tally and the Seminoles broke a story 2 hours ago that Stoops just got a nice fat raise. I want Zook for DC and Borges for OC.
My picks...
DC Ron Zook
OC Al Borges
Let's get the discussion going and WDE!!
Now that is the tiger team I know and love! Congrats to the players, coaches, seniors! Great fans representing AU last night. My picks for new coaches? Ron Jook for DC and Al Borges back for OC! Zook and Chizek together can rebuild a program that used to be known for its defense. WDE and Happy New Year!
Terrible headline attacking the Catholic Chuch! Show some class! Anywhere where children are entrusted in the care old adults this can happen, be it sports, schools, daycare, religions.
Let's console ourselves when Bama gets a taste of our 2004 season and gets left out of the big show. And they will because they aren't playing in a conference championship like the other 1 loss teams. I can guarantee you they will be more pissed about that than we are about the iron bowl. War eagle to one and all!
Yikes! I must say I was happy until that interception and then I knew it was over. Defense plagued better but we are no way the Auburn defense of the past. Special teams were great. Lack of any blocking cost us big. And ALL of our QBs are worthless. Let's get a new O and D coordinator cause Gus is worthless. Everyone has figured him out and hecan only coach cream of the crop. Regardless, I'm an Auburn fan and have been through good and bad before. I do think Trent won the Heisman but I don't think Bamawill get in the NCgame simply because 3 other one-loss teams actually are playing conference championships. So, let's see how they like being in the position of AU in 2004. My guess is they will be so furious they'll forget up whooping us inthe IB. WDE
I hear Muschamps is looking for a job, maybe he can be the DC hehe
Like I said, "I don't care what anyone says."
I don't care what anyone thinks...there is NO WAY I pull for Bama now or ever again. I won't forget the hatred last year, how they treated our team/fans with disrepect in the Iron Bowl, and all the other nonsense by ignorant, redneck Bama fans. Most who probably didn't even attend UA or any college. I pull for Auburn always and ever! And I will be wearing a Geaux Tiger shirt I pulled out of my son's closet last night. I hope they lose, I hope they lose, I hope they lose. And even if they lose, we won't get our trees at Toomer's back when they die an early death.
What?? Me, pull for Bama??? Well, that would have been a distinct possibly if not for the horrible things they said about our school, our team, and Cam Newton last year. Not to mention the Oregon shirts they sold in December and the poisoning at Toomers. So, the answer is not just no, but h##l no! Even if a Bama win meant that Auburn got something out of it, like an appearance in the SEC or BSC championship, I wouldn't pull for Bama now or ever. Geaux Tigers, beat up those bullies big time!! And we'll finish them off in the Iron Bowl!
Look-we were out-classed. They are the current #1 team and we all know we are young. We also know that was a horrible place for a qb to make his debut. AND, there is no doubt that the bottom line on all 3 losses is all about the LACK OF BLOCKING!!! So, pick your chins up, put on your big girl panties (Fans not players) and get over it! There are still great Auburn victories ahead of us. WDE and don't start picking the loss apart. There is nothing to say when its this lopsided.
I don't care who starts so long as it isn't Trotter and someone blocks for Pete sake! That O Line, while I'll give it to them they are young, just stand around and do nothing!! WDE!
That is the smartest comment posted on al.com this season!! WDE!!!
thank you and good luck tonight
Look, forget about that 1 second. How about that first TD we scored and had to score it 3 darn times? The first time should have been reviewed for a TD for goodness sake. I am so proud of our D tonight! But what about that O line? Trotter lacks a lot but with some blocking he could pull off a few plays here and there. I say we have a new problem now and we need to address blocking (or lack there of) this week. But, I'LL TAKE IT AND WDE!!!!
Lordy what are the coaches doing? FAU is a homecoming team and we looked horrible. No blocking. Everyone throws on us. I think the only bright spot was the play of some young D players, but then you don't see them the rest of the game. Trotter is horrible let's put Frazier in more. Or at the least let him finish a series. We are in for a long season but I do like these kids for the future. There needs to be some coaching changes. WDE anyway
