* The Jaguars are doing the right thing.
Now that Johnathan Cyprien and Dwayne Gratz are signed and ready to start from day one, the focus shifts to the signing of the team's first round draft pick, tackle Luke Joeckel.
The team does not want a situation like last season where Justin Blackmon was the final first rounder to sign his name to a contract.
Blackmon held out of camp, came in late and although looked great in preseason, he was sluggish the first half of the NFL season. Missing time from camp and with teammates can do that to a player.
Joeckel has been a solid players so far and is penciled in as the starting right tackle for this team. A holdout of any kind could hinder his progress and hurt the Jaguars.
The team as a whole gave up 50 sacks last season. Multiple lineups and injuries did not help keep Blaine Gabbert or Chad Henne upright during the season.
* I like the idea of new renovations to EverBank Field, but what I like about it more than anything is that Shad Khan is taking the bull by the horns.
In a story written by John Oehser of Jaguars.com, the new scoreboards will be state-of-the-art, over the top, world-class and unique.
Not only will the Jaguars benefit from this, but the Gator Bowl will certainly benefit as will the city's Sports and Entertainment Council in trying to bring other world-wide events to the First Coast.
In other words, the Jaguars are giving the city of Jacksonville a huge boost.
* I also like the idea of Desmond Bishop playing here in Jacksonville. The former Green Bay Packers running back was cut earlier this week and has been said to have received plenty of attention from a handful of teams, including the Jaguars.
The reason for liking this move, should it happen is there is another player who is from a winning program that comes to Florida. Winning is something that you cannot teach. The attitude Bishop could bring with him to the Jaguars could be as solid and important as Marcus Trufant's signing early this offseason.

GLC 32, KRYB says sweet dreems.
Gadzooks! Just realized DC never put out the new cover for this issue. I also realized I hadn't been so creeped out that I wet myself in a while, So what can I say, I'm all for killing one bird with two stones. The one that is floating around on all of the solicits with Mongol was not drawn by me. Apparently there was some confusion, but this will be the final cover.
8 comments:
It is no surprise that I think this one is much better.ReplyDelete
Jeez Pat, that cover is so creepy I wet myself too. Great job.ReplyDelete
AWESOME COVER!!! Creepy? No. CREEEEEPY was the splash you did of Krybb in issue 30 that had the little babies s*&^ing on nipples on her back... THAT was creepy to the point of really weirding me out. I'm doing my best to supress that memory, but I gottasay, it was an incredible illustration...ReplyDelete
As much as I liked the Mongul cover...mainly for its lovely presentation of Yat's behind...I have to say that this scares the HECK out of me.ReplyDelete
In a good way of course.
Heh,Heh!! That's pretty good. Bein a guy (not a gardner though), I didn't notice the 'Yat Butt', that baby is ROUND iddin it,but now that you mention it, whats up (or down more like it) with the granny skirt that Arisia is wearing??! It is well drawn, yes, but where's the love, man?! In Yat's tight spandex I guess...(& we're talkin about ish#33 cover)ReplyDelete
And not to complain...BUT does anybody know why they're redoing the origin of Hal Jordan in the reg GL series? I mean, c'mon, I don't even want to pick it up...the coolest story in probably the history of GL (maybe DC) is going on,'Blackest Night'(which I consider as a continuation of the 'Sinestro War'), and they want to reminess... hopefully one of y'all will be able to make me understand, thanxReplyDelete
"grannie skirt"?ReplyDelete
Just for the record if any grannies out there wear skirts like that, please stop.
Granny is mad you said that. E-Q-U-A-L rights extends to Grannies. And she wants her skirt back. THEN Arisa's costume (missing the skirt) would equal Yat's (hmmm). Ok, kidding aside, YEAH, LOSE THE SKIRT! Just kidding, ok, the skirt is part of Arisia's trademark costume & I wouldn't change it (and it DOES look right) ...I'm thinking of directions I don't want to go here, so I'll leave it at that... Go Cowboys!ReplyDelete

The authors know that data are travelled from multiple hop in the network during its travelling some are the attacker may inject the false data into the pocket of message. These are cases raised regularly in wireless network because of non reliability, of course so many reliable techniques are developed by considering that they proposes some methods and protocol called DAA. The compromised sensor nodes can inject false data during both data aggregation and data forwarding. The existing false data detection techniques consider false data injections during data forwarding only and do not allow any change on the data by data aggregation.

Armed robbery suspect sought by Peachtree City authorities
by Staff Reports - firstname.lastname@example.com
In the early morning hours of July 27, Peachtree City Police officers responded to a residence on Abrell Woods Court after a reported armed robbery.
Two victims at the scene advised that they were approached by an unknown male after exiting their vehicle in the driveway of their residence, and the suspect struck two of the victims with a handgun on the head and demanded their "bag" and their money, said Lt. Mark Brown of the Peachtree City Police Department.
The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 6'01" with a medium build and short hair and wearing all black. The suspect was last seen driving a large dark sedan. The victims had just left their place of business, the China Garden restaurant in Union City, GA, and one of them was carrying a bag similar to a bank deposit bag upon exiting their vehicle, Brown said. The victims turned over the cash to the assailant.
The victims advised officers that a vehicle, suspected of following the victims from their business in Union City, was waiting at the end of the driveway and was described as a large dark sedan. Following the robbery the assailant entered the vehicle and it was driven from the scene by another individual. Anyone with information they think would assist in the case should call 770-487-8866, or to submit an anonymous tip by: 1. Using the web at www.tipsubmit.com (select "Peachtree")
2. Using your cellular phone text "PTCTIPS plus your tip" to 274637 (CRIMES)"
3. Like the Peachtree City Police Department on Facebook or Twitter and submit a tip through the Facebook App.

« Maitotoxin Revisited |
| Of Cambridge, MA Interest Only »
Posted by Derek
I've said several times that I think that mass spectrometry is taking over the analytical world, and there's more evidence of that in Angewandte Chemie. A group at Justus Liebig University in Giessen has built what has to be the finest imaging mass spec I've ever seen. It's a MALDI-type machine, which means that a small laser beam does the work of zapping ions off the surface of the sample. But this one has better spatial resolution than anything reported so far, and they've hooked it up to a very nice mass spec system on the back end. The combination looks to me like something that could totally change the way people do histology.
For the non-specialist readers in the audience, mass spec is a tremendous workhorse of analytical chemistry. Basically, you use any of a whole range of techniques (lasers, beams of ions, electric charges, etc.) to blast individual molecules (or their broken parts!) down through a chamber and determine how heavy each one is. Because molecular weights are so precise, this lets you identify a lot of molecules by both their whole weights - their "molecular ions" - and by their various fragments. Imagine some sort of crazy disassembler machine that rips things - household electronic gear, for example - up into pieces and weighs every chunk, occasionally letting a whole untouched unit through. You'd see the readouts and say "Ah-hah! Big one! That was a plasma TV, nothing else is up in that weight range. . .let's see, that mix of parts coming off it means that it must have been a Phillips model so-and-so; they always break up like that, and this one has the heavier speakers on it." But mass spec isn't so wasteful, fortunately: it doesn't take much sample, since there are such gigantic numbers of molecules in anything large enough to see or weigh.
Take a look at this image. That's a section of a mouse pituitary gland - on the right is a standard toluidine-blue stain, and on the left is the same tissue slice as imaged (before staining) by the mass spec. The green and blue colors are two different mass peaks (826.5723 and 848.5566, respectively), which correspond to different types of phospholipid from the cell membranes. (For more on such profiling, see here). The red corresponds to a mass peak for the hormone vasopressin. Note that the difference in phospholipid peaks completely shows the difference between the two lobes of the gland (and also shows an unnamed zone of tissue around the posterior lobe, which you can barely pick up in the stained preparation). The vasopressin is right where it's supposed to be, in the center of the posterior lobe.
One of the most interesting things about this technique is that you don't have to know any biomarkers up front. The mass spec blasts away at each pixel's worth of data in the tissue sample and collects whatever pile of varied molecular-weight fragments that it can collect. Then the operator is free to choose ions that show useful contrasts and patterns (I can imagine software algorithms that would do the job for you - pick two parts of an image and have the machine search for whatever differentiates them). For instance, it's not at all clear (yet) why those two different phospholipid ions do such a good job at differentiating out the pituitary lobes - what particular phospholipids they correspond to, why the different tissues have this different profile, and so on. But they do, clearly, and you can use that to your advantage.
As this technique catches on, I expect to see large databases of mass-based "contrast settings" develop as histologists find particularly useful readouts. (Another nice feature is that one can go back to previously collected data and re-process for whatever interesting things are discovered later on). And each of these suggests a line of research all its own, to understand why the contrast exists in the first place.
The second image shows ductal carcinoma in situ. On the left is an optical image, and about all you can say is that the darker tissue is the carcinoma. The right-hand image is colored by green (mass of 529.3998) and red (mass of 896.6006), which correspond to healthy and cancerous tissue, respectively (and again, we don't know why, yet). But look closely and you can see that some of the dark tissue in the optical image doesn't actually appear to be cancer - and some of dark spots in the lighter tissue are indeed small red cells of trouble. We may be able to use this technology to diagnose cancer subtypes more accurately than ever before - the next step will be to try this on a number of samples from different patients to see how much these markers vary. I also wonder if it's possible to go back to stored tissue samples and try to correlate mass-based markers with the known clinical outcomes and sensitivities to various therapies.
I'd also be interested in knowing if this technique is sensitive enough to find small-molecule drugs after dosing. Could we end up doing pharmacokinetic measurements on a histology-slide scale? Ex vivo, could we possibly see uptake of our compounds once they're applied to a layer of cells in tissue culture? Oh, mass spec imaging has always been a favorite of mine, and seeing this level of resolution just brings on dozens of potential ideas. I've always had a fondness for label-free detection techniques, and for methods that don't require you to know too much about the system before being able to collect useful data. We'll be hearing a lot more about this, for sure.
Update: I should note that drug imaging has certainly been accomplished through mass spec, although it's often been quite the pain in the rear. It's clearly a technology that's coming on, though.

I'm not an expert and technology moves forward, but MALDI (Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) means that you need some kind of "matrix" to adsorb that laser light. The matrix heats up real fast and explodes those intact molecules into space where the mass spect can suck them up and analyze them. So you have to diffuse your matrix into the sample to use MALDI. Typically, the matrix ions tends to wipe out most of the lower molecular weight masses with noise and so they're harder to detect.
If you look at MALDI spectra, they tend to get real busy down in Lapinski territory. Now I'll go read the article.

Very impressive technique. It would be most interesting to compare it with NMR microscopy. Perhaps the two are complementary.

Derek, as a non-chemist in life sciences mgt, I have long enjoyed your blog - you write very clearly in a manner non-chemists can often comprehend. Today's post on mass spec is your best yet - wonderful explanation with details and speculation and fine images all wrapped up. I'm a director of an English company out of Imperial College, deltaDOT Ltd, focused on label free imaging. Your comments on novel uses of mass spec are of very great topical interest to our top scientists, Drs. Stuart and John Hassard, a biologist and physicist respectively. If you wish to learn more, you can contact them at email@example.com or email@example.com. Great stuff, many thanks!

Yes you can image parent drug and metabolites, it's just a matter of applying the right matrix to the tissue MALDI is currently the ionization method used, but there are groups looking into other methods. Of course once you see the image, the next question is how much is there, but quantitation is still problematic as it is difficult to know just how well the molecule of interest ionizes. People have tried to spot standards next to the sample, but you may have matrix effects in the tissue. Definately a problem that needs to be worked out.

Repetition compulsion- or CeBIT 2010
We keep doing it. Every year. And every year with the strong will to do things differently this time. And every year we end up doing exactly the same things than the year before. The night shifts, the way too much coffee, the way too many cigarettes
the way too little time to get things done. And it´s not only that, we´ve noticed that we tend to repeat everything in an almost autistic manner. People sit in the same spots: (please compare 2008 and 2010 and I swear it looked exactly like this in all the other years
I´ve added the picture of the sheep because I learned that sheep do exactly the same thing. Every day the flock of sheep will set out for the meadows at exactly the same time, they will go and grase and return to the barn exactly the same time every day. They will enter in always the same order and for the milking each sheep will always take the exact same slot in the same order like the day before and the day before that and so and so on. Amazing!
Another thing that we seem to need every year is our accomodation. I know we´ve never publicly discussed this matter but we have to share this. Maybe now some of you out there understand why we are the way we are
Noticed something??? I can make it clearer…
But no – hey we are here and bear good tidings. We´ve come to do good deeds and this year we have come up with even better stuff than the years before.
the challenges are breathtaking… and people are growing to be better than ever before… ehm…or maybe not…
I´ll be back with more.

Rift (geology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Further information: Plate tectonics
In geology, a rift is caused by tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere moving apart. Rifts are usually accompanied by orogeny (mountain building), volcanoes and earthquakes.[1][2] The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is an example.

When I'm looking for easy gifts to make, I often turn to projects with felt. Because the edges don't fray, you can often skip several finishing steps and felt makes a lovely base for hand embroidery.
Mother's Day is just a few weeks away. If your mom sews, quilts, or just likes to receive quilted gifts from you (of course she does!), then you will love these free patterns, downloads, and projects to make easy handmade gifts.
When you've finished quilting gifts with beautiful fabrics, trims, and notions, doesn't it seem a shame to cover them up with commercial wrapping?
Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
Pressed for time (or new to quilting) but still want to sew quilt projects that sing? Try the simple quilting patterns in our updated free eBook, Quick & Easy Quilts: 4 Free Easy Quilt Patterns.
Do you long to make a quilt but don't know where to start? Or do you have a friend who could lessons on quilting for beginners? We have the perfect starter's guide, and it includes free quilt patterns for beginners!
Whether you want to use up bits of this and that in your studio, experiment with a new supply or technique, practice your free-motion stitching, or you're just looking for something fun to quilt in a day, fabric postcards make great small quilting projects.
Any mom will tell you: from a salt dough hand-print paperweight to a beautifully stitched lap quilt, gifts from the hand and the heart are the best.
At our weekly office show-and-tell, assistant editors Kristine Lundblad and Barbara Delaney both had quilts to reveal. Barb showed hers without a quilt binding, because as soon as she finished adding it, she will rush to the post office and mail the quilt to her new baby granddaughter.
At our show-and-tell circle at the Quilting Arts-Stitch-Cloth Paper Scissors offices this week, Stitch Editor Amber Eden showed us a spread in a major fashion magazine that revealed quilting is a fashion trend.
Every year I set aside one or two Saturdays to sew something special for
the women in my life that would treasure a handmade gift. I usually
work production-style, cutting, basting, sewing, and finishing, until I
have an array of small gifts ready to go.
Many people ask me for beginning quilting
projects. When you are learning how to quilt, often it's best to start
with a easy sewing project that has quilted or patchwork element, like
coasters, place mats, or a little bag.
Hand-sewing techniques and embroidery are so much easier if you use the right tools. Sharp needles, tiny scissors, and exquisite threads are in every sewing kit, but the humble thimble is often overlooked.
In this free e-Book, Handmade & Holiday Gift Ideas: 6 Free Homemade Gift Ideas for Art Quilters, we offer you six easy gifts to make for your friends or your own home décor.
My living room sofa could use a few new pillows, which means I'm headed to the studio. I love making throw pillows, because they are easy sewing projects I can use to try out stitching designs and techniques.

Register now for the Inaugural Research Coast Business Plan Competition
VERO BEACH - Lawyers John Moore and Kevin Barry of Rossway Moore Swan Law Firm in Vero Beach, together with Russell Bjorkman, an international corporate attorney, and in cooperation with Indian River State College, formed a not-for-profit, private sector foundation in 2012. The purpose of the Foundation is to dedicate and promote the development of economic opportunity by facilitating interaction between professionals, investors, supporting organizations and the emerging business community of Florida's Research Coast.
The hand-picked members of the foundation are legal, financial and business leaders, investors in their own communities and those experienced who know how positive an event like this can be for the local economy. In addition to Moore, Barry and Bjorkman, the other directors include Michael Corbit, Regional Talent Acquisition Manger for Workforce Solutions, Vinny Olmstead, founder of Vocap Ventures, Jan Pagano, Associate Dean of Administrative Services at Indian River State College and Ed Tighe, a retired entrepreneur and independent trustee.
Through the business plan competition, they seek to bring together all the relevant elements of the community in support of business development and by creating jobs on the Research Coast.
The Research Coast Principium Foundation, in looking for companies (throughout the four-county region of Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee) that were interested in showcasing their businesses through competition, succeeded in interesting nearly 40 applicants from a myriad of different industries who submitted an application to participate. While all companies were invited to participate, bonus points were given for companies that are operating in one of the qualified target industries which include Cleantech, Life sciences, Information technology, Aviation/aerospace, Logistics and distribution, Defense and homeland security, Financial/professional services and Manufacturing.
There is currently a progression of applicant eliminations taking place, with the ultimate goal to showcase the top five companies in front of the event's attending audience on Thursday, March 21 at Indian River State College in the Richardson Center in Vero Beach. These final applicants will make their verbal and visual presentations in a "Shark Tank" analysis of plans and ideas in front of a panel of experts. The winner will receive a cash prize, the title of Inaugural Champion, as well as a package of free legal, accounting and mentoring advice.
The second-place winner will also receive a cash prize, and all presenters will enjoy the ability to market and expose their company to the attending, interested audience. Sponsors include Bank of America, Indian River State College, Rossway Moore Swan, Scripps Treasure Coast Newspaper, Vocap Ventures, Workforce Solutions and Florida Venture Forum.
Hosted by John Moore, attendees will receive a complimentary continental breakfast beginning at 7:30 a.m. prior to the start of the 8 a.m. program which will conclude at noon. The opportunity to network with the experts, attending business mentors and members of the Foundation, as well as the participating businesses, will be held at the conclusion of the event. Seating is limited; thus early registration is suggested.
How to register? It's easy. Admission is complimentary. Please visit: http://www.cctiirsc.com/index.cfm?fus...

Today's Best In Show Daily arrives just as the first day of competition gets under way at Westminster. This year's show presents additional challenges for handlers and exhibitors as Madison Square Garden is undergoing an extensive renovation. Editor Susan Chaney will introduce you to some of the changes visitors can expect, and she'll tell you about the Garden's upgraded food offerings from some NYC chefs and restaurateurs. There's still time to remember your Valentine and, in DFR, Kayla Bertagnolli reminds us not to forget our four-legged friends tomorrow.…
Remember to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-the minute results and photos from the Garden.
Dan SayersEditor in Chief
Be Prepared: Madison Square Garden Is in FluxBy Susan Chaney
The multi-year $850 million Madison Square Garden remodeling project made significant improvements over the summer of 2011. One big change that this year's Westminster show attendees will have the opportunity to see is the new open design of the sixth-floor concourse.
Lynn Zinser, who writes about hockey for The New York Times, took a tour when the building reopened in October 2011. He reported in his "Slap Shot" column that the concourse is "50 percent wider and possibly 100 percent brighter than before." It holds a "new array of concession stands, some with seating." more
Valentine's Day is just around the corner – I mean, literally, it's tomorrow – and love is in the air. At this point, everyone's thoughts have turned to love, not only for that special someone, family and friends, but for our doggies too! This Valentine's Day let's make sure to not only pamper our loved ones, but take proper precautions as well.
Did you know that Americans spend some $1 billion on chocolate for this particular holiday alone? Well, believe it or not, it's true! Not only are chocolates given as V-Day gifts but, so are flowers and, for some, the occasional alcoholic beverage. It's important to accept these gifts graciously and even more important that we keep them to ourselves! more

Spring has sprung—the migration has begun.
The fields of Eastern Oregon are alive with the sounds and sights of migration. Thousands of birds are en route from their wintering homes to their northern breeding grounds. This spectacle is one of the grand wonders of nature.
The farm-studded fields southeast of Burns sparkled with birds—Black-necked Stilts, Cinnamon Teal and Sandhill cranes. Even our national gem—the Bald Eagle appeared.
Those Greater Sandhill Cranes stole the show, however, as they strutted about courting prospective mates with jumps and bows center stage in a cattle field.
The scene changed on Malheur Lake as American White Pelicans staged a ballet on the water. In a harmony of movement, they swam in a perfect circle, dipping their bills in unison, scooping sustenance from the water.
But the most mesmerizing moment came when an enormous cloud of Snow & Ross's geese rose from the fields and soared overhead. The air pulsated with thousands of beating wings and their plaintive call pierced the skies. Watch the display here:
Standing under the goose canopy, dwarfed by the dramatic display I found myself giving thanks for these graceful creatures whose rhythm of migration reminds me that life itself is a journey.
Whether we are ascending peaks of joy or crawling through valleys of sorrow, we push onward as each of us participate in the pilgrimage mapped out for us:
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion." Psalm 84:5-7
I pray you enjoy the journey, my friend.

I am writing in response to the article, Energy, security boosting economy by Kenneth Schwarz. I very much agree with his point of energy security and economic benefits.
However, I would like to point out that those benefits are of little value if the world we exist in is befouled and unfit to live in. We need to ensure that environmentalists views are also a part of the process.
Extreme views on either side of any issue are always the enemy. The correct way to move forward is to work together in a cooperative way so what we are maintaining a secure, prosperous, healthy world for ourselves, our children and grandchildren.
I have worked in the paper industry my entire working life, so I have seen the effects of industry on both sides of the issue. I am not a tree hugger, but I am concerned about both the economic health and well-being of ourselves and future generations.

Can someone I.D. a track with a male vocalist singing/talking about house music. The artist, title, label, year, or anything that can help would be appreciated.
The following are some of the lyrics:
It's all about house music, It's all about house music, It's all about house music, Listen children, I'm gonna tell ya about this thing called house music. Like my boy Eddie told ya, it's a spiritual thing...yes it is. But I'm hear to tell ya more about what house music means to me. House music is a hero when you don't feel good inside. House music is something that wakes you up when you feel down. I'm hear to tell you what house music means to me. Listen...H is for happiness because when you feel the music it makes ya happy, and O is for Outstanding because the music fills ya up, and U is for Unity because it brings us all together, and S is for the Soul because when ya feel ya feel all in ya Soul, and E is for Eternity because House music will never die.
Any help would be appreciated.

|Assistant Professor, Pathology and Human Anatomy
|School of Medicine
|University Faculty Profile
|Email: email@example.com
Research Interests
Dr. Payne's general research interest is in the development and function of human B cells, including the contribution of B cells and other components of the immune system to health disparities diseases.
Animal studies suggest that B cells can play a key role in inflammation-mediated cancer, a major area of health disparity. One component of Dr. Payne's research program is the development of assays that will allow her to study the function of B cells and other cells of the immune system in diseases, including inflammation-mediated cancers, for which there is health disparity. A second focus of research in Dr. Payne's laboratory is defining key events in human B1 and B2 lymphocyte differentiation and the differing roles that these two types of B cells play in the immune response. B1 cells are the predominant type of B cell early in life, while B2 cells make up the majority of B cells later in life. Pre-mature birth is an area of health disparity and has been linked with higher incidences of metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and stroke later in life. Inflammation is mediated by the immune system and plays a role in the development of these diseases of health disparity. Dr. Payne's work will provide important information about fetal/neonatal immunity and adult immunity and thus a basis for understanding the role of immunity in health disparities that exist at all stages of life. Dr. Payne's current work is funded by an NIH K01 Career Development Award.
Dr. Payne received her doctorate in microbiology and immunology from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where she defined some of the early events in mouse B cell development. As a postdoctoral fellow at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Dr. Payne's research focused on the role of Ikaros DNA binding proteins and the SCL transcription factor in the production of cells of the blood and immune system. Dr. Payne's postdoctoral studies were funded by a Children's Hospital Los Angeles Research Institute Career Development Fellowship and an NIH National Research Service Award. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Payne studied the role of IL-7 in human B cell development. These studies were funded by a Faculty Research Career Development Award from the Saban Research Institute at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Dr. Payne's work has been presented at a number of national and international conferences. In 2004, she received a Travel Award to the Federation of Clinical Immunological Societies (FOCIS) Center of Excellence Trainee Satellite Symposium in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Payne was an invited speaker at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Stohlman Symposium in Denver, Colorado in 2004 and was named as a recipient of an American Association of Immunology Junior Faculty Travel Award in 2006. Dr. Payne has served as an ad hoc reviewer for the journal, Experimental Hematology, and for the Journal of Immunology.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"As our vision becomes more global, our storytelling is stretching in many ways. Stories increasingly change point of view, switch location, and sometimes pack as much material as a short novel might," writes guest editor Elizabeth Strout. "Its the variety of voices that most indicates the increasing confluence of cultures involved in making us who we are." The Best American Short Stories 2013 presents an impressive diversity of writers who dexterously lead us into their corners of the world.
In "Miss Lora," Junot Díaz masterfully puts us in the mind of a teenage boy who throws aside his better sense and pursues an intimate affair with a high school teacher. Sheila Kohler tackles innocence and abuse as a child wanders away from her mother, in thrall to a stranger she believes is the "Magic Man." Kirstin Valdez Quades "Nemecia" depicts the after-effects of a secret, violent family trauma. Joan Wickershams "The Tunnel" is a tragic love story about a mothers declining health and her daughters helplessness as she struggles to balance her responsibility to her mother and her own desires. New author Callan Winks "Breatharians" unsettles the reader as a farm boy shoulders a grim chore in the wake of his parents estrangement.
"Elizabeth Strout was a wonderful reader, an author who knows well that the sound of ones writing is just as important as and indivisible from the content," writes series editor Heidi Pitlor. "Here are twenty compellingly told, powerfully felt stories about urgent matters with profound consequences."
The best-selling and award-winning Jennifer Egan guest edits this year's The Best American Short Stories, the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction.

"The literary 'Oscars features twenty outstanding examples of the best of the best in American short stories." — Shelf Awareness for Readers
The Best American Short Stories 2014 will be selected by national best-selling author Jennifer Egan, who won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction for A Visit from the Goon Squad, heralded by Time magazine as "a new classic of American fiction." Egan "possesses a satirists eye and a romance novelists heart" (New York Times Book Review).
The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2012 gathers twenty of the best short stories of the year, selected from thousands published in literary magazines. These remarkable stories explore the boundaries of the imagination in settings as various as an army training camp in China, the salt mines of Detroit, a divided Balkan town, and the eye of a hurricane. Also included are essays from the eminent jurors on their favorite stories, observations from the winners on what inspired them, and an extensive resource list of magazines.
About the Author
Laura Furman, series editor of The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories since 2003, is the winner of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts for her fiction.

Edward Zammit Lewis, the former Parliamentary Secretary for Economic Growth, has been entrusted by Malta's Prime Minister to take the helm of an important Ministry – that of Tourism. He was appointed Malta's new Minister for Tourism on April 2 after a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.
In 2013, Zammit Lewis was chosen by the Prime Minister to form part of the cabinet where Lewis was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Competitiveness and Economic Growth. Previously, Zammit Lewis was a lawyer by profession, specializing in litigation in the civil, commercial, constitutional, libel law and the human rights sphere.
Dr. Zammit Lewis noted that the tourism sector is a very important pillar in the Maltese economy, creating thousands of jobs, creating large investment and generating significant income for the country.
"In the weeks and months ahead, the Ministry for Tourism and the Malta Tourism Authority in cooperation with Maltese and foreign partners shall be consolidating marketing and promotional efforts in the European markets and increasing and launching new initiatives in long haul and new markets like the United States, Gulf region, Russia and China," said Zammit Lewis
The new Minister for Tourism stated that Malta, disappointingly enough, is not on America's radar in terms of U.S. travelers choosing Malta as their destination of choice.
"Many Americans associate Malta with Italy, or close to Cyprus, or even worse, don't even know where we are on the map," he said. "It is vital that for quality tourists to come over to Malta, we need to give a quality service".
Dr. Zammit Lewis completed his formative years at St. Aloysius College and his tertiary education at the University of Malta. He graduated in BA European Studies and International relations and subsequently obtained a Doctorate of Laws.

Make sure you have already in mind some cool costume ideas before you shop lest you get confused by the massive exhibition of attractive display selection.
Another tip is to visit a specialty Halloween shop instead of a department or grocery store. You are guaranteed to find a much better quality and selection at a Halloween store. Alternatively, you should visit an online store to get an idea of what's in store and the latest costume trend for this coming festival. It is the fastest, safest and easiest way to shop. You can also order through these sites for added convenience since they deliver to your doorstep and have good return policies.
Both offline and online specialty Halloween stores sell almost everything under the roof, for examples, Halloween decorations, games, pictures, masks, props, wallpaper, crafts, party stuff, receipts, cakes, pumpkins, post-cards, funky jewelry, CD with scary music, DVD with horror movies and even costumes for family pets. Also, they offer a variety of costume sizes that fit all, ranging from petite small to plus size large. For those who are budget conscious, there are cheap Halloween costumes and rental ones. And if you are in a rush, there are last minute costumes that will suit your taste. Homemade Halloween costumes are also popular amongst those who wish to stand out from the crowd and have a flare of creativity. One can also purchase the materials from online specialized shops and save on overall costs and time. And the best thing is you can do it together with your family for that extra bonding opportunity.

- Carole Cameron
- 1/28/10
I would dearly love to see this movie released on dvd. I visit an old Para in a Nursing Home and he has lost both his legs through diabetis. he would say to me "look at me now and to think I use to jump out of aeroplanes". He would love to see that movie. He has seen the Red Beret,but is searching everywhere for the Paratrooper

Frustrated-completed tasks missing
Asked on Dec 24, 2013 - 01:45 UTC
Hi I am using web based Todo1st. I noticed that my completed tasks for certain project / sub tasks disappear even though I clicked the "more completed tasks circular". Why? I need to have a track on that.
All responses
Replied on Dec 24, 2013 - 05:49 UTC
broken for me too
Replied on Dec 24, 2013 - 16:36 UTC
Can you please clarify, the button to show completed tasks disappears? The completed tasks once they have shown, go away, or when you click the icon they do not load?
You say certain projects, is there anything different about these projects, types of tasks, types of names etc?

The Zilwaukee Bridge
November 17, 2008
The Zilwaukee Bridge, photo by Mario.Q.
This photo is part of Mario's Zilwaukee Bridge set (slideshow). He writes:
The Zilwaukee Bridge carries northbound and southbound I-75 125 feet over the Saginaw River at Zilwaukee, MI with a total length of just over 8,000 ft. This high level bridge replaced a drawbridge at the same location that caused major backups on I-75 with frequent openings for ship traffic going from Saginaw, MI to the Great Lakes. With a major and widely publicized construction mishap and huge budget overruns this is one of the more widely know bridges in the State of Michigan.
You can read much more about this star-crossed bridge in Wikipedia's Zilwaukee Bridge entry, but the best resource is michiganhighways.org. There you can find The Zilwaukee Bridge: From the Beginning by MDOT. This details the whole story including "The Accident". There's also a bunch of photos of the bridge including an aerial view and an annotated aerial view.

Michigan is for weirdos [yes there is a book called -Weird Michigan] and this bridge has carried its share of weirdos- Awesome!!

You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
Who am I? Friends say I'm not the typical man. I'm a devoted father to two beautiful children (boy 8, girl 6) whom I parent 50/50. A lawyer, entrepreneur and professional actor by training, I now work to live not live to work. I am healthy and athletic, but not fanatically so. I really enjoy so many things in life, including all kinds of outdoor activities (hiking, biking, soccer, tennis), movies, live theatre, quiet evenings playing board games,travelling the world, singing, and directing theatre. Most importantly, I consider myself a caring, compassionate, dynamic, passionate, romantic, thoughtful, intelligent, playful and funny person (if you like wit and sarcasm). I am an open book no games, no surprises. What you see is what you get.
Ten other particular, but not necessarily important, things you might want to know about me:
1. I like women who appreciate me for my mind, not just my body. LOL
2. I am a CBC listener (Definitely Not The Opera, As It Happens, The Debaters and This Is That are my favourites).
3. I love music, but don't ask me to name my favourite groups.
4. I hear a joke, laugh, and then forget it instantly.
5. I have a terrible memory for names (and apparently jokes!).
6. I am able to formulate complete sentences with correct spelling and punctuation.
7. I prefer hot over cold in almost every context (except a cold beverage on a hot day).
8. My favourite drink is cranberry and grapefruit juice with soda water (see point 7 above).
9. I can salsa, skip rope, juggle, and stand on my head.
10. I have gone bungee jumping once and you will never get me to do it again! (I have a fear of heights.)
Who am I looking for? Someone who is open and honest. Someone who is looking for a meaningful and supportive relationship based on trust and communication. Someone who appreciates that a loving relationship is one of the most beautiful things one can experience, but that even the best relationships require attention and can never be taken for granted. Someone with an inner confidence who is not preoccupied with trying to be perfect and isn't scared to share their imperfections with me. Someone who is intelligent and witty. Someone who is open to new experiences. Someone who likes to have fun, but is also serious and not afraid to share their feelings and be real. Someone with integrity and a sense of loyalty.

The 4Runner is in the foreground, with the red Escort off the road.
Torrential rain and wet roads may have caused a collision which killed an Idaho man and injured two others Thursday afternoon near the Carbon-Emery county border on U.S. Highway 6.
According to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. John Kelly, the crash, which occurred near mile marker 264 at about 3 p.m., killed Jack LeRoy Seiber, 22, of Blackfoot, Idaho. Three other individuals were transported to Castleview Hospital following the collision, two of which sustained abrasions and possible broken bones, according to public safety dispatch reports.
According to a UHP press release, a green Toyota 4Runner was traveling east on highway 6 during a heavy rainstorm. The vehicle allegedly lost control and spun into the westbound lane where a red Ford Escort being driven by Seiber was traveling. The Toyota struck Seiber's vehicle directly in the driver's side door, sending it into an embankment on the side of the road.
The 4Runner's driver was not injured, but three of its occupants were transported via ambulance to Castleview with non-life threatening injuries.
"No drugs or alcohol were apparent and all airbags deployed," said a Utah Highway Patrol release. "It appears a sudden heavy downpour and not a general condition (occurred)."
At the scene, UHP Sgt. Kelly noted that wet roads and heavy rain were being investigated as a cause for the crash and that one of the vehicles could have hydroplaned.
The highway was shut down for a short period for landing a helicopter, which was called in as officials tried to deal with the severity of Seiber's injuries. When he was pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel, the chopper returned to the hospital to allow an investigation to begin.
Traffic was impacted on highway 6 for more than three hours as public safety crews worked to transport the accident victims, investigate the collision and clear the highway.

EDIT March 28, 2012:NOW IN STOCK: Original PossumDown Gloves$29.95 / pair + $2.45 Shipping (3.95 for 2 pairs). Total = $32.40. Tax only for California residents.(For price comparison BPL sold theirs to Members for $30.80 + 5.95 Shipping. Nearest current price for this item is $28 + 8 Shipping + Tax from Cameleer.)Beginning stock is: S -- 5, M -- 10, L -- 10, XL -- 5ORIGINAL POST:For our ultralight gear web shop, we're considering importing a batch of the black PossumDown gloves from New Zealand that used to be avail here on BPL, but are no longer.These gloves, made with 40% Possum fur have the highest loft and warmth to weight ratio of any known glove liners. My pair is dying and the one US source that sells them has a $38 price tag shipped + tax.Ours would go for $29.95 + approx $2.45 in shipping (+ tax only for CA residents).To get an idea of interest, how many of you would want a pair or pairs (good to keep a spare on hand)?So leave your comment below and your size. They can be shrunk as desired, so I order mine one size too big, shrink 'em and they end up a bit thicker.Cheers,JhauraLiteTrail.com
Edited by jhaura on 04/23/2012 18:29:34 MDT.
Personally I'd go for light synthetic fleece gloves. Possum Down gloves are notoriously easy to wear out - say while XC skiing or walking with hiking poles. Fleece, on the other hand is relatively durable.AND... synthetic fleece will dry much faster than the wool in Possum Dowm gloves.
Edited by Danepacker on 02/28/2012 19:31:44 MST.
fleece might dry faster, but the possum stuff is quite amazing. I even wear my gloces in rain and they keep me warm. and the possum down doesn't need that long to dry out either.I haven't needed my gloves that often, so my 2 year old pair is still looking good. But they won't last as long as any fleece ones.
Eric and WLI agree with both of you...They are not all that abrasion resistant however for the weight they are indeed very warm and in my experience also work well when wet (so does the hat BTW...)I almost always have them with me and yes they are a liner under my Gore-Tex (!) mitts in winter.Only problem for me is that I try to avoid using them by themselves when walking because I use trekking poles.Love them to death...FrancoTriviaWhen I purchased mine (from BPL) ,possum down stuff was not available in Australia.Here, possums are protected but in NZ they are a pest. Just like Australians, come to think of it...
Edited by Franco on 02/28/2012 20:52:34 MST.
Yes. I have been looking for a backup pair.
I would also pick up a pair as backups. Would also be able to convince a few friends to buy as well most likely.
These might be a little heavy for most UL'ers but these are the gloves I am no using. The flap that goes over the fingers is water/wind resistant and stores in the top of the glove when not needed. And the thumb folds back also. http://www.brooksrunning.com/Adapt-Glove/280156977%2e025,default,pd.html?start=16&cgid=access-gloves
I might be interested in another pair of gloves but I would definitely be interested in a pair f possum down socks.
The Possum Down ones won't melt like fleece when picking up hot objects, either.M
I'd be interested if they made mittens... After years of wearing gloves, I'm done with them.
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 07:39:18 MDT.
the socks are brilliant, only use them for sleeping though
Size medium
Rick,I am not seeing a pair comparable to the old BPL version on that site. Maybe I am missing something?
Jace,Look here:http://www.shopnewzealand.co.nz/en/cp/Gloves_MerinominkI just picked up a pair for $20.00 shipped. Great deal!M
From what I can tell, the ones from EcoWool and ShopNewZealand ARE NOT the same as the ones I am sourcing (the furrier ones once sold here on BPL).For those who ordered from the two sources above, please confirm upon receipt if they are indeed the same ones with a close up picture.There are a couple of manufacturers of the gloves, but only one, that I know of, actually makes them in a high loft style. This is the only style that is of any interest to myself because if it is normal loft style wool construction, there are better cheaper gloves state side.Cheers.After thought...Further evidence that the two sources listed above are NOT the original BPL source: The source of the BPL ones does not even manufacture a mitten and the EcoWool site lists a mitten for sale. To me, this indicates that they are from a different manufacturer and not the same. Doesn't mean they aren't equivalent or as good, we'll just have to see a close up picture of construction to determine that.EcoWool Mittens:http://www.ecowool.com/possum-fur-products/possum-fur-clothing/possum-fur-hats-socks-gloves-and-scarves/possum-merino-mittens-2634.html
Edited by jhaura on 02/29/2012 19:35:37 MST.
I know for me personally, for $20.00 shipped i can't go wrong on possum and merino wool gloves, even though they might not be as "lofty" as the old BPL ones. I'm positive they will work as liner gloves in my BPL Vapor mitts at a fraction of the price of my old ones. YMMV.M
Edited by bigfoot2 on 02/29/2012 19:39:18 MST.
I have ordered a pair from the Matthew Perry link , so I will compare them with the original BPL type when I get them.Note that they are a close-out with limited sizes available.The sizes also look a bit odd to me...( I just wanted a red pair...)Franco
This link looks to be the same as the BPL gloves. It at least has the same 50/40/10 blend.http://www.thecameleer.com/possumdown/possumdown-gloves-c-66.htmlThey also have what appears to be the same beanie and a multitude of socks (though not the same as BPL's, some seem to have better blends for actual hiking use instead of just sleepwear).
Yes Dustin, the thecameleer.com are the same. However it's $28 + $8 shipping = $36 (plus tax for VA). As opposed to $32.40 that I can get them for...I think $8 shipping is a little high for a 2oz glove.

Leading, composite and sentiment indicators
Review paper by UNECE
In-depth review of leading, composite and sentiment indicators
The Bureau reviewed leading, composite and sentiment indicators in January 2014, and concluded that considering the strong demand for these indicators and statistical offices increasing involvement in the area, it could be worthwhile to define national statistical offices' role and its boundaries in this work and design alternative communication strategies for dealing with related issues. Collaboration with researchers will be important.
Outcome of the review
The Conference supported setting up a small international group or organizing a seminar to discuss the role of official statistics and the challenges in producing and disseminating leading, composite and sentiment indicators.
Related initiatives
A group of Swiss universities is carrying out a project to review composite indicators and analyse their conceptual meaningfulness, statistical robustness and role in public debates. The outcome of the project will be a valuable contribution to the discussion among official statisticians.
