This new super-telephoto lens is equipped with Nikon's VR II Vibration Reduction system that minimizes image blur caused by camera shake and offers up to four stops of compensation for clean, crisp images. When using Nikon's VR function, photographers can view a stabilized image through the viewfinder and therefore are able to compose their pictures naturally and with greater accuracy. A Tripod mode in the camera reduces vibration that may occur at shutter release when shooting with a super-telephoto lens attached to a tripod.
The new optical design for this lens features three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that minimize chromatic aberration, producing consistently high-quality images. Nikon's exclusive Nano Crystal Coat - an extra-low refractive index coating - virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths, and is particularly effective in reducing ghosting and flare. A meniscus protective glass element also minimizes the ghosting that occurs when light reflected from a digital camera's image sensor is in turn reflected off an ordinary flat protective glass element.
The new AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR features ergonomically arranged controls that enable easy access and comfortable operation. The Focus Preset function instantly recalls a focal point preset with a simple push of a button while the Focus Limiter switch restricts AF-servo movement to a controlled shooting distance range. The lenses also feature an AF-L switch that makes it possible to lock focus from the lens; and AF-ON engages auto focus from the lens.
By employing magnesium die-cast in construction of the lens barrel, Nikon has achieved considerable weight reduction advantages without sacrificing rugged field-proven construction that's resistant to both dust and moisture.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 400mm F/2.8G ED VR AF-S Lens:
I bought this lens eight months ago and I m more than happy with my purchase.This lens is simply the best lens nikon ever produced in the super tele photo range.I use it to shoot sports action and wildlife photography and with the D700 the sharpness, focus speed, is something else. Even when I use a 1.7 tele converter and shoot wide open ( f 4.8 ) the corner sharpness is beyond believe. It is on the heavy side and I use a Gitzo (5541 cf ) to support the lens, but I have shot pictures hand held for short periods of time.The price on the lens is astronomical but if you have the passion and you have the money you will love this lens.

« Good Mistakes? |
| There's Toxicity and There's Toxicity »
Posted by Derek
Antiviral drugs are one of those big unmet medical needs that we talk about in the drug industry. The reason we talk about them is, of course, that from a business standpoint - and this is a business, for sure - "unmet need" is equivalent to "unmade profit".
The problem is, the reason that some of these big opportunities are unclaimed is that they're not easy to address. As I've said here before, one big problem with antivirals is that there are a very limited number of good targets for drugs. After all, viruses are pretty stripped-down to start with: they do a limited number of things, but they do them very well indeed. Compared to a relatively target-rich therapeutic area like cancer, infectious disease is a desert.
One well-known oasis, though, contains the viral proteases. Many viruses carry these as a key part of their machinery, to help "unpack" necessary proteins from larger precursors. Famously, that's how many of the anti-HIV drugs work, and the same general strategy should be applicable to several other viral types.
Hepatitis C has been one of the big targets for many years now. Various development programs have come and gone, but no one has been able to really nail this one. Vertex is now in the middle of trying to, and as Adam Feuerstein points out, they're really betting a large part of the company on the attempt. Over the next few months, results should start coming out for their PROVE trials of telaprevir (VX-950), and for Vertex's sake, the drug had better work. A herd of competitors, probably led by Schering-Plough, is ready to take over should anything slip.
"Work" is defined as "work well enough so that people don't have to take injections of interferon". That'll depend, as always, on the balance of efficacy and toxicity, and it's the side effect profile that everyone will be watching, since it's widely assumed that the drug will in fact do some good against the disease. The nerve-wracking thing about working for a small-to-medium sized company has always been that your future ends up depending on single events like this, and I wish everyone at Vertex good luck. (Of course, as people at Pfizer will tell you, your future even at a gigantic company can end up depending on the results of one clinical trial - this industry is getting altogether too exciting for a lot of people to take).

Yeah for real, I'd figure it would get proteased out in a hurry. AFAIK these keto-peptides are not a novel structural class.

Dosing is a real problem. I think currently it's a 750 mg horsepill QD. There was a push to try TID though.
Alot of the message boards (investor and HepC paient sites) are talking about a nasty rash as a side effect.

I wouldnt be surprised if Vertex' protease inhibitor will crash and burn like BI's.
Somebody once speculated that all HCV protease inhibitors are likely to have adverse cardio-vascular events.
Lets see how it goes but if I were Vertex, I would be looking for backups.

You want to know what will be the biggest antiviral drug company in the world in 10 years...Alnylam Pharma.
RNAi is perfectly suited for the development of antivirals. Results for the crucial Human clinical trial (initially for RSV) will be out within 12-18 months. If it works, the floodgates will open and RNAi will be used against any and all RNA viruses. Wait and see. Small molecule antivirals will be out like the cart and buggy.

WRT Alnylam and RNAi, while I admire some people's enthusiasm, can anyone offer cogent reasons to expect that RNAi will not run into the same problems encountered by previous RNA-based therapies (delivery, PK, distribution,? Simply being different may be necessary to succeed where others have failed, but it usually isn't sufficient.

All the test results refer to HCV and not what type of HCV

I just hope they hurry for those of us suffering with this terrible virus and who have endured interferon treatments.....Gods speed to all of them, vertex, intermue, schering, etc etc.

Presentation Title
Queues, Pools, and Caches: the Right Way to Scale OLTP
Transaction processing systems are generally considered easier to scale than data warehouses. Relational databases were designed for this type of workload, and there are no esoteric hardware requirements. Mostly, it is just matter of normalizing to the right degree and getting the indexes right. The major challenge in these systems is their extreme concurrency, which means that small temporary slowdowns can escalate to major issues very quickly.
In this presentation, Gwen Shapira will explain how application developers and DBAs can work together to built a scalable and stable OLTP system - using application queues, connection pools and strategic use of caches in different layers of the system.

Since the 1990's growing teeth from tooth buds has gained a lot of interest in the research community. To say the least the idea of tooth regeneration and growing biological teeth is exciting to a lot of people as an alternative to missing teeth. While there has been moderate success in lab animals the reality of 'growing new teeth' in humans is still far off in the distance from all indications.
Biological issues like integration into the host and immune acceptance still have to be worked out. It is also likely to be prohibitively expensive in the beginning. The bottom line is that tooth bio-engineering is proving itself to be difficult in humans. Hopefully in our lifetimes it will become a reality.
Below is an Abstract of a research paper regarding tooth regeneration using tooth bud cells or embryonic teeth. The source is the Journal Medical Molecular Morphology and the publisher is Springer in Japan where the research was done.
Abstract: " Humans are genetically programmed to replace their teeth once during childhood. Therefore, when adult teeth are lost or damaged, they cannot be regenerated or regrown. However, with the advancement of stem cell biology and tissue engineering, regenerating the whole tooth has become a realistic and attractive option to replace a lost or damaged tooth, and therefore has strongly attracted attention in the field of dental research. During the past several years, significant progress has been made in this research endeavor, providing greater understanding of the production of an entire biological tooth by tissue engineering using stem cells. There are several ways to reproduce an entire biological tooth. Approaches are categorized according to the cell sources that have the potential to produce teeth. One source is the embryonic tooth bud, and the other is the postnatal tooth bud. The results from embryonic and postnatal tooth buds differ considerably. In particular, the potential to regulate the shape of the tooth crown from embryonic tooth bud is higher than from postnatal tooth bud. This article describes the achievements to date in production of biological teeth, mostly from our laboratory. In particular, we describe the potential to produce teeth from embryonic and postnatal tooth buds".
About the Author
Carey O'Rielly, DDS
Dr. Carey O'Rielly is a holistic dentist in San Diego, California who truly understands and practices the tenets of holistic health, both as a practitioner and in his personal life. His remarkable knowledge of the field came about through years of study and experience, initiated by his own work-related health challenges.
Amalgamcomposite composed of 40-55% mercury along with silver, tin and copper.
BiocalixA material used in root canal therapy that expands and alkalinizes
the tooth, thus discouraging further build-up of bacteria.
Biological DentistryA method of practicing dentistry that takes into account bio-compatibility
of dental materials and the bio-energetic or meridian system used
in Chinese medicine and the focal infection theory.
BleachingAlso known as whitening, the process of lightening off-colored or stained teeth with supervised bleaching methods. This can be done in-office with a laser or at home with individualized trays, according to the convenience of the patient.
Bone GraftThis procedure is done when there has been significant bone loss because it helps the body to regenerate lost bone. The source of the grafting material can either be from the patient's own body or from a natural substance such as algae.
Over time your own newly formed bone will replace much of the grafted material, however follow up work such as an implant will have to be done within a matter of months or the body will start to re-absorb the new bone.
Bonded DentistryBonded Dentistry includes a wide range of procedures: tooth-colored fillings or composites, creating veneers and closing gaps between teeth.
BridgeA dental appliance that replaces lost teeth. It can be either removable or fixed.
Build UpThe removal of old filling material and decay from a worn-out tooth and bonding with tooth-colored composite resin to create a solid foundation for a cap or crown.
Composite ResinTooth-colored material made of resin reinforced with silica, glass or porcelain particles that is used for filling cavities.
Cosmetic ContouringCreating a more pleasing appearance by reshaping natural teeth.
Cosmetic DentistryAn aspect of dentistry that concentrates on the pleasing, aesthetic appearance of a person's smile.
CrownAlso known as a cap, this type of restoration replaces the missing portion of a tooth or corrects the overall bite.
DentinSofter layer of tooth structure that lies beneath the enamel.
DiastemaSpace or gap between two teeth.
EnamelThe white outer layer of tooth structure covering and protecting the dentin.
Fixed BridgeA dental appliance used for replacing missing teeth that is non-removable. The bridge is held in place by cementing or bonding to adjacent teeth that are used as anchors.
Focal Infection TheoryFormulated and tested more than 50 years ago, this theory states that conditions in the mouth have a direct impact on the body as a whole.
GalvanismThe phenomenon of dissimilar electrical patterns created in the mouth through the use of dental metals.
GingivaGum tissue. Infections in the gingival can lead to periodontal disease.
Holistic DentistryAn approach that views the mouth is a component of the entire body rather than an isolated part that is separate from the whole.
ImplantsUsed to replace a missing tooth. A titanium post is placed in the bone and then the tooth is restored by attaching a finished crown to it. The entire procedure can take anywhere from one day to three months, depending on which approach is appropriate for the patient.
As with all treatment, proper planning and coordination between your dentist and implant specialist is not only recommended but vital to achieving a successful result.
InlayUsed to support tooth structure by bonding a durable material
such as resin, porcelain or gold and filling a decayed part of a tooth.
LaminatingApplying a thin layer of composite resin or porcelain to the surface of a tooth in order to alter its appearance.
LumineersUsed to change the appearance of teeth by resurfacing with an extremely thin porcelain material. Little discomfort is involved since the teeth are not shaved or cut into. The procedure is a conservative way to achieve a more pleasing smile and can be completed in two appointments.
MalocclusionMisalignment of the upper or lower teeth causing a poorly adjusted, uncomfortable bite. This is often the cause of pain in the jaw joints, also known as TMJ Syndrome.
OnlaySimilar to an inlay except that the filling is also applied to the biting surface of the tooth.
PanorexesAlso known as panoramic X-rays, these are full-mouth X-rays that show a complete view of the teeth and surrounding bones of the jaw.
Partial Denture (Bridge)A dental appliance that is removable or fixed, used to replace missing teeth.
Periodontal DiseasePeriodontal infection is generally caused by a combination of stress, acidity, and improper oral hygiene. See I'luminae for more information.
PorcelainMaterial created by fusing ceramics at high temperatures so that a hard substance/glass is formed resembling tooth enamel.
Root Canal TherapyThe procedure by which an infected tooth can be preserved by sterilization and filling of the inner canals and tubules.
Rubber DamUsed to isolate teeth during dental procedures, this thin rubber sheet is important during the process of replacing old amalgams to prevent unnecessary exposure to metal.
TitaniumA metal primarily used for implants and orthodontic wires. Titanium used for implants is medical grade and extremely pure. Studies have shown that it integrates into our bone without any inflammation being detectable, so it is generally regarded as safe.
VeneersThese ultra-thin sheets of porcelain or composite resin are created for bonding to the surface of teeth. This procedure is especially useful in repairing or changing the appearance of damaged teeth.

California priest may be subject of reality TV show
Catholic World News - October 18, 2010
A priest of the Diocese of San Bernardino, in conjunction with a television production company, is seeking to become the subject of a reality television show. The show, at present entitled "Divine Intervention," has been filmed and is being marketed to television networks.
"I often say if the Bible were written today, no one would publish it, and what's more, no government would allow it to be published because there's not just the sexy stuff in there, there's also radical revolutionary stuff in there, and no government would want to read that and think, 'This is about me,'" says Father Steve Porter.

Oh,this may end badly. Fulton Sheen pioneered the presence of the priest on TV when there was a tremendous hate for the Catholic Church. The hate is still there, but TV creates cult personalities. Is Fr. Porter immune to that exposure?

Wow. It's like you two are ALMOST speaking English or something...
FS smith to lipslide...
BS smith to bs lipslide....
What is that? Frisian? :)
Long time Old Timer Skater and was Factory sponsored amateur by Kryptonics wheels,Vans,Cutter trucks I skate mostly flat ground cruising now days. Jokered my left ankle at the Clinton Keith pool ,Lake Elsinore doing a front side smith grind over rotating at the tiles. Bailed down 8 feet to the bottom my big toe said hello to my shin bone and my ankle blew up instantly to the size of a black and blue grape fruit.I really enjoyed watching and Judging Wade Speyer in Vert and street contest he is one of the smoothest skater around. The time first I watched Wade skate at the 1988 NSA Am finals skateboard contest In Arizona. I helped build the Half pipe and street course with Dave Crabb, Dave Duncan and Fish. It fun time and I learned a lot about building ramps and street course for CASL.Terry

English? No, Scots. :-)One of my friends.Dundee talk
that is really neat stuff, terry... you guys are definitely a couple gens before me, I am somewhere in the Sal Barbier/Plan B era (as in, I landed a backside heel up a curb for my oldest son a few weeks back)I loved skating with the older crew, everything is big... I would say with mad surf-style flow too, but they could dance on their decks like a surfer could never get away with
you wanna send that energy east?!?!
was such an inspiration and helped usher in an new age, you greybeards will dig this piece from '89 showing a bit of old with a hint of new: Sal Barbier - Hokus Pokus (1989)
Craig,I was around and competing against Sal when we were shop sponsored and factory sponsored then judging Sal Barbier when he turned pro. He is one of the nicest skateboarders around. Sal is the smoothest and most innovative street trick skateboarders around back then who makes it look easy and always has a smile on his face because of the fun he is having with sport/art form. I remember the Plan B when Mike Ternasky took the whole H street team with him to evil Rocco - Mullen empire that was taking over skateboard like a perfect storm and taking down the older skateboarding industry who thought they owned skateboarding were seeing their profit fall and they did not like the direction Rocco and all the new skateboard manufactures were taking the industry.It was fun time to be skateboard in involved behind the scenes knowing the secrets of the industry. It was a very sad day for skateboarding when Mike died in auto accident in 1994, He was one of the shaker and mover but the nicest guy in skateboarding. TerryPs: The translation of Jokered ankle is your injury is so bad the after effects will be with you the rest of your life for example arthritis in the ankle. So the jokes on you should have listened to the doctors who were constantly fixing you again. Telling you about the dangerous sport your in while patching you up. But you were having to much fun back then to listen.
Edited by socal-nomad on 07/27/2012 11:32:47 MDT.
I miss riding my board, but my body begs to differ.John Cardiel will forever be one of the greatest rippers. Ray Barbee, easily has one of the most distinguished styles in skateboarding, always has, always will. Grant Taylor is a new school ripper, can and will destroy anything. If you haven't seen Torey Pudwill's "Big Bang" part from last year, then you need to NOW! Torey's skating is the now, hands down. He is putting down tricks within tricks. So much depth to his skating. I'm going to name drop my brother, he's no name, but he rips and I love his style.Brother ripping
You guys are forgetting the San Jose crew...Steve Cab, Jeff Kendall, Corey O'Brien....the names go on and on. More pro skaters here in the 80's heyday.....The FactionLos OlvidadosDrun Injuns
ok, ok - if we are going there, (mullen)... I have to mention Daewon Song Daewon at His Best
Eugene,Thats a great photo of your brother doing a front side ollie in the pool. Have you skated any of the mile long downhill ditches of New Mexico? Ken,I heard Jeff Kendall and Rob Roskopp are running Santa Cruz Skateboards now. When I was in San Jose I hung out with Wally Sueyoshi one of my team riders for FU Skatez. I would only get up to Norcal when we had Casl contest in Atascadero to Judge and build the street course for the NSA north west amateur Regional contests.Or contests at the Powell Factory I liked hanging out with Rob Washburn and the Morro bay skateboarders.Terry
Edited by socal-nomad on 07/31/2012 15:36:50 MDT.
Terry you are correct about Jeff running the biz. Jeff and his wife are friends of mine and live nearby. Great guy. We had a GREAT skate scene here in the early 80's

McGraw-Hill (NYSE: MHP), one of the world's foremost financial information companies and owner of S&P Indices, and CME Group (NASDAQ: CME), the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace and 90-percent owner of the CME Group/Dow Jones joint venture, announced today an agreement to establish a new joint venture in the rapidly growing index business. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of both companies, McGraw-Hill will contribute its S&P Indices business and the CME Group/Dow Jones joint venture will contribute the Dow Jones Indexes business to create S&P/Dow Jones Indices, a global leader in index services with annual revenue of more than $400 million. Approximately $6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against these leading indices.
McGraw-Hill will own 73 percent of S&P/Dow Jones Indices, CME Group will own 24.4 percent through its affiliates, and Dow Jones will own 2.6 percent. S&P/Dow Jones Indices is expected to be operational in the first half of 2012, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The new company will become part of the new McGraw-Hill Markets company following the separation of McGraw-Hill into two public companies, as announced on September 12, 2011.
As part of the new joint venture, S&P/Dow Jones Indices will enter into a new license agreement whereby CME Group will pay S&P Indices a share of the profits of CME Group's equity product complex, which is their trading and clearing business for futures, swaps and options on futures. In addition, the new license agreement expands the products covered under the license to include swaps and extends CME Group's existing exclusive rights (currently in place through December 31, 2017) to the E-mini and other S&P indexed futures.
Harold McGraw III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of McGraw-Hill, said, "This joint venture expands our dynamic index business and accelerates the growth of the new McGraw-Hill Markets company. By combining our unique and complementary strengths, we are creating a leading global index provider with the breadth and depth to provide both retail and institutional investors with the cutting-edge products and services they need to make sound investment decisions in today's complex markets. In addition, McGraw-Hill Markets will benefit from the new license agreement that changes S&P's Indices' relationship with CME Group from a transactional fee-per-trade model to a partnership in which S&P Indices participates in the profits of CME Group's overall equity product complex."
Terry Duffy, CME Group executive chairman, said, "This new joint venture reflects CME Group's continued commitment to creating trading opportunities for our global customer base. Through the new JV company, we look forward to developing leading risk-management solutions in equity indexes and across other asset classes, as well as diversifying our revenue streams, thereby creating value for our shareholders and customers in both institutional and retail client segments."
Craig Donohue, CME Group chief executive officer, said, "As part of our global growth strategy, CME Group has continued to expand our index services business, both through our own index futures and options products as well as through new product development at our Dow Jones Indexes subsidiary. The expanded partnership announced today not only creates a leading index services provider that will benefit our customers and shareholders, but also will deliver new opportunities for innovation, including a long-term, ownership-based exclusive global license for CME Group to use the S&P 500® for futures and options on futures products going forward."
The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to McGraw-Hill's earnings and S&P/Dow Jones Indices is expected to drive profit growth by:
- Increasing revenue through international and asset-class expansion, new product development, enhanced market data offerings and increased cross-selling opportunities
- Achieving cost savings and accelerating time to market by leveraging technology, data procurement, other back office functions and McGraw-Hill Markets' infrastructure
- Reducing capital requirements and generating free cash flow for parent companies.
Alexander Matturri, executive managing director of S&P Indices, will be chief executive officer of S&P/Dow Jones Indices and Lou Eccleston, president of McGraw-Hill Financial, will chair the company's seven-member Board that will include five directors designated by McGraw-Hill and two by CME Group.
Matturri said, "Those who rely on indices worldwide — from product issuers to exchanges to investors — will benefit from a deeper lineup of indices as well as a business model focused on innovation, performance and impact. Combining S&P Indices' institutional strength with CME Group's global exchange partnerships and Dow Jones Indexes' retail focus will optimize our ability to respond to the changing global environment with increased speed and efficiency. Just as important, the structure of the joint venture is flexible enough to allow us to maintain our existing exchange relationships and work with other potential partners that could bring additional capabilities to the new company."
All current indices will retain their brand names (S&P or Dow Jones). The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average® will continue to be separately maintained and licensed as the basis for a wide variety of funds and financial instruments. This transaction does not affect existing licensing agreements with other exchanges, nor does it preclude entering into future agreements with additional providers.
Other provisions of the agreement include:
- McGraw-Hill will acquire London-based Credit Market Analysis Ltd. (CMA), a leading source of independent data in the over-the-counter markets, from CME Group. This acquisition significantly expands McGraw-Hill's asset-class coverage for data and pricing and adds the technology to move into intraday quotes on derivative and other OTC securities.
- A separate license agreement between Platts, a unit of McGraw-Hill, and CME Group/NYMEX will be extended.
McGraw-Hill was advised by BofA Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. Barclays Capital acted as exclusive financial advisor to CME Group.

I'm not even sure if mobile players would accept that idea.
"We believe Nintendo can create very profitable games based on in-game revenue models with the right development team," Fischer wrote in a letter obtained by WSJ. "Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher.
"The same people who spent hours playing Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Legend of Zelda as children are now a demographic whose engagement on the smartphone is valued by the market at well over $100 billion," he said.
Last month, Nintendo confirmed in its policy briefing that it will make an app for smartphones, though it didn't rule out the possibility that it may release games for mobile.
"It is our intention to release some application on smart devices this year that is capable of attracting consumer attention and communicating the value of our entertainment offerings, so I would encourage you to see how our approach yields results," Iwata said last month.
Iwata also said that it would be completely misleading if one is to say that Mario is coming on smartphones.

Heap or LAM
byte[] data = new byte[len];
Take space in heap or in LAM?
The pointer to the array object (data) will be allocated either on the variable stack (if declared in a method block) or in the class data (if declared as a member variable). The actual array itself (byte[len]) will be allocated on the heap.
What does LAM stand for?
-- Terrence
LAM stands for Large Array Memory
So if the data will allocated on the heap,
I can check if there are free space for allocate a data of "len" size.
int freeMem = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
if (freeMem > len) new byte[len]
else "There isn't sufficent free memory"
Is right?

Susan B. Anthony List Hits the Airwaves
Steve Driehaus Doesn't Want You to Hear the Truth
'What Driehaus Doesn't Want You to Hear' Radio Ad Campaign Hits the Airwaves
October 19, 2010
Susan B. Anthony List launched a $50,000 radio ad campaign airing across Rep. Steve Driehaus' district (OH-01) highlighting his vote for the health care bill which allows for taxpayer funding of abortion. Driehaus has attempted to silence the free speech of the Susan B. Anthony List by filing a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission, citing a criminal statute.
"Rep. Steve Driehaus' heavy-handed attempt to silence critics of his vote for taxpayer funding of abortion will not work," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "Our radio ads are spreading the truth about his pro-abortion health care vote to the people of his district, despite his efforts to stifle our constitutionally-protected free speech."

Sharron Angle Speaks for Nevada
'Sharron Angle Speaks for Me' TV Ad Campaign Hits the Airwaves
October 11, 2010
Susan B. Anthony List and CitizenLink launched a $200,000 television ad campaign featuring personal testimonials from Nevada residents who believe that Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle will represent their priorities in Washington. The 30-second spot ran in the Reno and Las Vegas markets for one week and gained national attention in the Wall Street Journal and National Review Online among other outlets.
"Sharron Angle Speaks for Me":
The campaign also coincided with the release of two SBA List web videos supporting Sharron Angle which were featured on National Review's Battle '10 blog:
Congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich on Sharron Angle:
Sharron Angle: "Ethics, Integrity, and Focus":
Before the health care vote, the SBA List spent $150,000 on television ads and voter calls to pressure Senator Reid to stop calling himself "pro-life" in Nevada then voting another way in Washington, DC. The SBA List has committed $1 million in voter education and mobilization efforts to unseat Harry Reid.

Carly Fiorina Shares Latino Voter Values
TV Ad Campaign Tells California Latinos That Carly Fiorina Shares 'Our Values'
October 6, 2010
The Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) launched a $200,000 Spanish television ad campaign highlighting the contrast between California U.S. Senate incumbent Barbara Boxer and challenger Carly Fiorina on sharing Latino family values. The effort coincided with a $100,000 SBA List voter education effort including a Google ad campaign focusing on California Latino voters and a "Vota Tus Valores" bus tour sponsored by SBA List, NOM and the American Principles Project making 43 stops in Latino neighborhoods throughout the state. The 30-second television spot entitled "Our Values" will air in Spanish on Telemundo, Telefutura and Univision for one week in the San Diego, Los Angeles and Fresno markets beginning October 7. The campaign garnered local, statewide and national attention with reports in the Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and CNN.com.
"Pro-life California Latinos are a force to be reckoned with," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "Latino voters need to know who will stand up for their values in the U.S. Senate and Carly Fiorina is that leader. Barbara Boxer is not."
"Our Values":
Votes Have Consequences
'Dahlkemper's Choice,' 'Donnelly's Choice': Twin Ad Campaigns Hit PA-03, IN-02 Airwaves
October 8, 2010
Susan B. Anthony List, CitizenLink, the Pennsylvania Family Council and Indiana Family Action launched a $240,000 television advertising campaign consisting of two $120,000 campaigns that aired in Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03) and Rep. Joe Donnelly's (IN-02) districts, highlighting their votes in favor of the pro-abortion health care bill. The 30-second will air for ten days, beginning on October 8 and the average viewer in their respective districts will see them ten or eleven times. The ads gained attention in national outlets including Politico and in several local outlets including the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and HoosierAccess.com.
"This campaign will remind voters that Kathy Dahlkemper and Joe Donnelly had the chance to protect their constituents from funding abortion, but caved to Speaker Pelosi and President Obama, ushering in the biggest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. We promised them that their votes would have consequences at the ballot box. Now, we are keeping that promise."

Lisa Murkowski Has a 'Hearing Problem'
Lisa Murkowski 'Hearing Problem' Radio Ad Hits Alaska Airwaves
October 8, 2010
The Susan B. Anthony List launched a week-long $10,000 radio ad campaign beginning October 8 that highlighted how incumbent Lisa Murkowski ignored the will of her constituents during her time in office and with her decision to mount a write-in campaign after her defeat in the August Republican primary. The ads gained local and attention outlets like the Anchorage Daily News, Kodiak Daily Mirror and national attention in outlets like The Hill and Associated Press.
"The Susan B. Anthony List is committed to ensuring that Alaska voters see the distinction between Murkowski's unreliable record and Joe Miller's commitment to protecting Life," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.

Fishermen's arrests: Jayalalithaa blames 'elements' in Sri Lanka Navy
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa has said some "elements" in the Sri Lanka Navy are out to "spoil" the conducive environment created between the fishing communities of two nations.
Referring to the detention of 38 Indian fishermen on Jan 29 by the Sri Lanka Navy while fishing in the Palk Strait, she said in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh: "It appears to me that this incident is an attempt by elements in the Sri Lanka Navy to deliberately spoil the conducive atmosphere created by the recent talks.
"Such arrests and apprehension also directly impact the livelihood of the Tamil Nadu fishermen living in the Palk Bay Districts."
Jayalalithaa wrote to the prime minister Thursday and her letter was released to the media here Friday.
"In order to preserve the conducive atmosphere and to enable a pragmatic and workable solution...for the day-to-day fishing activities of the fishermen to continue, I request you to decisively impress upon the Government of Sri Lanka to advise its navy to abstain from such acts of illegal abduction of innocent Indian fishermen," she said.
On Jan 27, representatives of the fishing communities' of the two nations met here to arrive at a consensus on the fishing rights in the Palk Strait and also putting an end to the attacks on Indian fishermen by the Sri Lanka Navy.

Favorite thing about Albion and why: The small class sizes because it allowed me to get to know other students better and challenged me to participate more in class and have my voice heard.
Something I know that that I wish I had known as a First Year: I wished that I could have talked to my professors more. I used to be pretty apprehensive about going in to office hours because I felt self-conscious for asking questions. It was not until my sophomore year that I realized how enthusiastic the professors were to help. I would tell the incoming freshmen not to worry about "bothering" your professors with questions because they want their students to come to them with questions. It is the start of a great conversation and you quickly learn more about your professors and how interesting they are!
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why: I would love to be able to teleport! I have always wanted to travel the globe so if I had the ability to teleport, then I would save so much time and money (not to mention not being jet-lagged).

PETIT LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police picked up Brian J. Snyder, 27, of 1962 County Route 53, Brasher, on an arrest warrant charging him with petit larceny Friday afternoon on Bishop Avenue.
Snyder allegedly stole $125 from Danielle Champion on April 3. Ms. Champion told police she was at On a Roll deli when she saw Snyder, a man she said had been an acquaintance for approximately three years. We talked at On A Roll deli, and he asked me for a ride home, she said in her statement to police.
Ms. Champion said Snyder rode with her to Stewarts, where she stopped to get gas. I grabbed $25 out of my wallet. He stayed in the car. I went in to pay the worker. When I came, out he was gone. My wallet was open inside my purse. I had just been in my purse so I know $125 left in my wallet. All of the $125 was gone, she said in the statement she signed for police.
Snyder was arraigned Friday afternoon by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and released after posting $250 bail.

February 1, 2010, PETALUMA, CA—Calix, a leading provider in North America of broadband communications access systems and software for copper- and fiber-based network architectures that enable communications service providers (CSPs) to connect to their residential and business subscribers, today introduced five new line cards that significantly enhance the capacity and Ethernet capabilities of the C7 Multiservice Access Platform (MSAP)—North America's leading multiservice access platform (MSAP) (Infonetics Research, 11/2009). These new line cards bring 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) Ethernet transport and aggregation functionality, very high speed digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) and enhanced gigabit passive optical networking (GPON) services, as well as Ethernet gateway functionality to North America's most versatile MSAP, which now features 47 individual line card options to meet the diverse service requirements of today's CSPs.
Deployed at over 500 North American and international CSPs whose networks serve more than 32 millionsubscriberlines, the C7 enables these CSPs to evolve to advanced Ethernet and fiber-based services from existing copper-based legacy service offerings like plain old telephone services (POTS) and special business circuits. Leveraging the Calix Ethernet eXtensible Architecture (EXA), an Ethernet kernel based on industry standard protocols and focused on the requirements of the access network, the new EXA Powered C7 line cards further enhance this evolutionary path, delivering more capacity, higher bandwidth services across both copper and fiber, and more flexibility in bridging legacy services and advanced Ethernet services in a single, manageable platform.
"Seven years ago, we were the first Calix customer to install the C7, choosing it because of its flexibility to deliver both a high-capacity SONET transport as well as robust voice and broadband services in one platform," said Gene Baldwin, vice president at Cimarron Telephone, a subsidiary of MBO Corporation in Oklahoma. "Today, our service requirements have evolved to require 10 Gbps Ethernet transport and the flexibility to support advanced IP-based solutions like Microsoft Mediaroom to our subscribers over both copper and fiber. The C7 is able to seamlessly support this migration without leaving our existing investment behind. The C7 has lived up to its promise, allowing us to cost-effectively and efficiently migrate our network to deploy new services, rapidly capture new revenue opportunities, and maintain a long-term, sustained competitive advantage."
New EXA Powered Line Cards Expand Service Capacity While Simplifying Service Delivery
The new EXA Powered C7 line cards share a common software core with other Calix E-Series platforms, including the new E7 Ethernet Service Access Platform (ESAP). This commonality not only provides engineering efficiencies across the Calix Unified Access portfolio, but allows the C7 MSAP and E7 ESAP platforms to work harmoniously in the access network despite their differences in form factor and functionality, easing the complexities of service delivery and network expansion and delivering the extensibility necessary for an all-video world. In addition, each new card is fully compatible with the existing stable of C7 cards, allowing for simple service migration and preservation of necessary legacy services.
The new EXA Powered C7 line cards deliver the following value to CSPs:
"Advanced Broadband services were in their infancy when Calix first introduced the C7 to the market seven years ago, yet it was clear that over time networks would need to increase capacity in order to support the robust growth in services and bandwidth that broadband proliferation would drive," said Matt Davis, director of telecom services at IDC. "Calix recognized that the efficiency of network and service migration was paramount to long-term service provider success. For those service providers who invested in the C7, the new EXA Powered line cards offer a path to efficiently supporting the new broadband-generated applications that we see emerging in the future."
Calix is also today introducing six new residential optical network terminals (ONTs). The new 700GE ONT family builds on the extensive capabilities of the 700GX ONT family by introducing two or four gigabit Ethernet ports on each 700GE ONT. Like the 700GX ONT family, each 700GE ONT is capable of auto-detecting both GPON and Active Ethernet transport. Each GE access port on the 700GE ONTs is also designed to deliver a full 1 Gbps of bandwidth in both the upstream and the downstream, and can also support multiple services and virtual local area networks (VLANs), providing exceptional flexibility and efficiency.
The Calix EXA Powered line cards and 700GE ONTs will be on display in the Calix booths 500-503 at the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association 2010 Annual Meeting and Expo in Tampa, Florida February 2-3.
Calix is a leading provider in North America of broadband communications access systems and software for copper- and fiber- based network architectures that enable communications service providers to connect to their residential and business subscribers. Calix enables communications service providers to provide a wide range of revenue-generating services, from basic voice and data to advanced broadband services, over legacy and next-generation access networks. Calix access innovation helps these companies to transform their legacy and mixed protocol access networks to fiber and Ethernet. Calix has shipped over six million ports of its Unified Access Infrastructure portfolio to more than 500 North American and international customers, whose networks serve over 32 million subscriber lines in total.

An interesting article, published in GSA Today (a publication by the Geological Society of America) in February 2013, describes features of the landscape of the Appalachian Mountains. These are a system of mountain ranges in eastern North America, extending from around Atlanta, Georgia, north past New York, and into Canada (see figure left). The paper is entitled Miocene rejuvenation of topographic relief in the southern Appalachians.
This title would not mean anything to most people, because like most geological articles in geological journals this one is written in technical language making it difficult for a lay person to follow. So I'll post the abstract below with my lay-friendly comments interspersed.
Conventional wisdom holds that the southern Appalachian Mountains have not experienced a significant phase of tectonic forcing for >200 myr;
In other words, the Appalachians were uplifted over 200 million years ago and have not been uplifted since. This means the Appalachians are considered a very old mountain range that has been exposed to normal weathering processes (rain, snow, ice, erosion, landslides, etc.) for hundreds of millions of years. (I'm quoting their figures, but the idea of millions of years comes from evolutionary assumptions, which I don't accept, and which I discuss a bit more later.)….

Thank You, Art!!!!
I know you have a thankless task dealing with these topics, a job I for one would not want for all the money in the world. We've seen a quite wild and wooly political campaign, with anything goes it seems in comments from both sides. I freely admit I've posted replies here more out of anger than I'd usually do on a public venue. Thank you for cleaning the most vile and insulting comments through it all. I for one appreciate your patience through it all. Perhaps now that it's over, we can start again with a clean slate? That those who post here can do so in a manner that we'd use if we were having the same discussion in front of our mother? I for one pray that is possible. I pledge to try and stay on the "high road." How about it people, can we all do the same?

Ohwiseone - This may come as a surprise to you (it shouldn't if you've been a long time reader of these forums) but I've always believed GW Bush "lied us into a war" in Iraq. I agreed with Atty. Vincent Bugliosi's contention that Bush should have been charged with Murder.
So, not to sound like Hillary Clinton, but what are you going to do about it at this late date, even though the statute of limitations never expires for that crime?

No, what the greek and the other brainwashed goobers don't like is the reminder of what they are so quick to forget !And unfortunately it has to be applied with a sledge hammer in order to get it through the dense minds of the local minions of Faux ! And at least there is a dessenting opinion now , where before all these forums were just a bunch of republizombies patting each others arses and saying good job !
Posted 323 days ago.
Yeah! Go ahead and "clean up again" Art!
Anybody that visits these forums can see that they are very close to the point were you can call them "The Ohwiseone's Opinions".
There are like six posters still remaining here, in my opinion because most have gotten tired of dealing with Munster's (aka ohwiseone) diarrhea of drivel.
So, PLEASE, take ohwiseone's advice and "clean up again". You can usually find him as the latest poster on a plethora of forum topics, like it's a competition to be hold Star Billing.

Charles Barkley. The Round Mound of Rebound. One of the best Power Forwards of All time. 11 Time All Star. Hall of Fame Member. 1993 League MVP.
This man. This Basketball legend. Does. Not. Understand. Basketball.
It boggles the mind how a man, who accomplished so much as a player, and who is one of the most famous and well-liked on-screen basketball personalities, can be so ignorant about the sport that he played.
Maybe it's because he never really paid attention in math class, or maybe he just hates nerds, but for some reason, Barkley literally refuses to acknowledge the importance of analytics in today's NBA game. It's as if he lives in a world devoid of numbers, a magical fantasy land where the only things that matter are grit and talent. Despite the recent NBA trend towards using (pretty basic) statistics to measure players and teams, and the success of such methods in the NBA as well as in many other sports (see: Moneyball), Charles Barkley insists on living in his own little bubble, and refuses to accept the fact that numbers matter. It's as if he thinks that measurements like true shooting percentage or offensive/defensive efficiency should be scrapped in favor of platitudes like 'Oh, they really hustlin' on D' or 'Boy, he's got a hot hand tonight'.
Now, I'm not a huge basketball fan – I'm a casual watcher at best – but even I understand that it's better to shoot 3s at 35% than long 2s at 40%. It's not hard to understand. And yet this high school level understanding of statistics eludes Barkley. To him, this kind of numbers talk is voodoo and should be exorcised from the NBA.
Not too long ago, Barkley remarked that the Rockets and the Suns were the two worst defensive teams in the NBA. This is in spite of the fact that the numbers very clearly show that the Rockets were 6th (out of 30) and the Suns were about League average. When the Houston Rockets GM, Daryl Morey, tweeted a response to Barkley's plainly false statement, Barkley basically went full moron and basically said that the only people who used numbers to analyze the NBA were people who didn't get laid in high school and don't play basketball. Never mind that at this point, every single NBA team has an analytics department of some sort – including the teams run by such notorious nerds and non-basketball players like Larry Bird, Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge (and a whole bunch more). Never mind also the fact that the entire NBA is shifting towards a style of play that analytics predict will be the most effective. Forget all that. All that matters is hustle and talent. Analytics is stupid. It's so stupid that it wins you games and championships.
So. What have we learned today. We now know that Barkley probably doesn't know his times tables. We know that his refusal to accept the existence of numbers is a truly perplexing phenomenon that scientists will study for decades. And we know now that he doesn't really understand basketball at all, despite having dedicated his life towards it. What a shame, Charles. It's ok. We'll keep watching. We just won't take you seriously as a Basketball 'Analyst' ever again.

Polk County deputies said they arrested a man and woman after they discovered a victim during a well-being check.
Deputies said on Thursday, they were called to a home at 704 Byni Ridge Drive in Winter Haven to do a well-being check on a 21-year-old woman.
Deputies said said they found the woman at the home who confirmed she was being held against her will, and was beaten.
Deputies believed she was a victim of human trafficking and after questioning 21-year-old Marisol Rodriguez and 29-year-old Devon Dixon, they determined the pair were involved in human trafficking of the victim.
Rodriguez has been booked into the Polk County Jail, where she is being held on $10,500 bond.
Rodriguez has been in the Polk County Jail on five prior occasions deputies said, but Dixon does not have a Polk County arrest history.
"Human Trafficking is one of those crimes you hear about and hope to never find in your backyard. Unfortunately, it has happened here in Polk County. We will work with this victim to get her the physical and psychological help she needs to recover from this heinous crime, and we will work with the State Attorney's Office to ensure these two suspects are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Sheriff Grady Judd.

PIC: Glum Kim Kardashian Wears White "I Am Love" Sweatshirt
Once upon a time, Kim Kardashian wore a white sweatsuit with "Mrs. Humphries" printed on it. But on that August day, the reality star changed into a stunning Vera Wang gown, walked down the aisle and said "I do" to Kris Humphries.
PHOTOS: Look back at Kim's wedding to Kris
Friday, the 31-year-old stepped out in L.A. wearing a different white hoodie with the words "I am love" printed on it. The reality star looked like she was trying to remain incognito, pulling the hood up above her hair and keeping dark sunglasses on.
While Kim filed for divorce on Oct. 31, Humphries responded with his own legal maneuver Thursday: responding with a request for an annulment of their 72-day marriage on Thursday.
But a source close to Kim tells Us Weekly that she "initially asked for an annulment, but he said no."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's shortest marriages
The pal adds that Kardashian has no interest in haggling with her ex (they married Aug. 20) in court or in the public eye.
"Kim just wants it to be over and done with and move on," the source says. "She doesn't want a battle, she wants to leave this drama behind."

Me and my college friends took up the challenge scaling up to the peak of Mt Tahan, the highest mountain in Peninsula Malaysia (2100+ m), and the second most difficult mountain hiking trail in Malaysia. The trip was long ago, about 8 months ago, but just recently I thought of sharing photos taken during the hiking in my fotki. ;) Feel free browsing thru them. *most of my energy were spent walking and climbing, so, the photos aren't that nice. ^_^

According to the latest hearsay, Nokia and Microsoft don't plan to announce any Windows Phone devices at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC).
In fact, no major handset maker has plans to unveil any smartphones powered by Microsoft's mobile platform. This is hard to believe, as Nokia and Microsoft have always announced their new smartphones for the first half of the year at MWC.
Anyway, one device that might be officially unveiled this week at MWC 2014 is Nokia Lumia 630. The mid-range smartphone's press render has just been tweeted by @evleaks, but the picture does not have any specs attached to it.
Judging by the phone's photo, this is an improved version of the Lumia 625 and will probably be released with Windows Phone 8.1 onboard given the fact that it features on-screen buttons. Stay tuned for more updates on the Lumia 630's official release.
