Danley Sound Labs Adds the SH-DFA Downfill Speaker to its Popular SH LineDanley Sound Labs' new SH-DFA downfill loudspeaker is designed to integrate seamlessly with its SH-50 loudspeaker series 5/17/2007 4:00 AM Eastern
Danley Sound Labs Adds the SH-DFA Downfill Speaker to its Popular SH Line
May 17, 2007 8:00 AM
Click here for more houses of worship news from The Briefing Room
Danley Sound Labs introduces a new downfill loudspeaker—the SH-DFA—to its popular SH series. This new asymmetrical full-range horn is designed to seamlessly integrate with the SH-50 loudspeaker series. The SH-DFA fits the exact footprint of the SH-50 and is only 9in. high, with a coverage pattern of 50x100x50. Designed to maintain considerable pattern control due to its depth, the SH-DFA is a unique problem-solving product.
All the models in the SH series are high-output, fully horn-loaded, loudspeakers that perform exceptionally well without the need for additional, expensive signal processing. The groundbreaking SH-50 technology combines two unique Danley technologies—the Tapped Horn and the Synergy Horn, both patent-pending designs—for low-frequency pattern control, high audio quality, seamless arrayability, and low-frequency extension. Each model is also available as a powered option using Class D audiophile power and onboard DSP.
The SHA-DFA is ideal for houses of worship, live performance venues, discos, performing art centers and commercial theater surround sound.
Tom Danley's innovative designs have been used in projects ranging from ground-zero bombing simulation, jet engine active noise cancellation, and sonic boom generators to critical-listening mastering studios, high-end home theater, and houses of worship around the world.

Wolves in the Throne Room/Nachtmystium
Seeing this Friday, and I need to know...
I think Wolves In The Throne Room generally play only songs from 'Two Hunters' nowadays, when I saw them last I can remember specifically only "The Cleansing" and closing with "I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Roots and Rocks", but it all mostly tends to blend in anyways during their type of performance. A recent Nachtmystium set consisted of the following:
One Of These Nights
A Seed For Suffering
Ghosts of Grace
Your True Enemy
Eulogy IV
Antichrist Messiah
I'd be happy with that if they played My Vengeance as well. Thanks for the info, though.
They did my vengeance on the (brief) opeth tour

My review of the Ron Arad: No Discipline exhibition now up at MoMA appears in the latest issue of ID. I'm not sold on Arad as an architect, but his material experimentation is certainly admirable and many of his chairs—and this show is mostly about chairs—are undeniably attractive, if not always functional. Though maybe just being beautiful is a function sometimes? The best thing about the show might just be the catalog, with a characteristically straightforward design by karlssonwilker and an equally sharp cover by Beverly Joel.

People have been telling me that yellow-rumped warblers are thick in Duluth, as common as Lutherans at a lutefisk supper.
You can't NOT see them.
But where are they?
Everywhere. Just go outside.
So it was a bit disappointing to spend a couple of hours on the Western Waterfront Trail and the Munger Trail today and not see a yellow-rumped warbler. I saw one flash of yellow, but it probably was a goldfinch. It had that goldfinch way about it. I saw, and saw well, a bird that probably was a warbler, but I couldn't identify it.
But oh, there were ducks and geese and other waterfowl. A whole congregation of ducks, nay, an entire denomination of ducks.
It seemed to me that there was not only a great number of birds on the bay, but a great variety as well. Were in not for my inexperience and a chilly breeze that cut into my patience, I might have identified a great many kinds of water birds.
As it was, I saw the following:
- Mallards, of course
- Canadian geese, of course (and they were VERY LOUD)
- Ring-billed gulls, of course, but not many of them
- A bunch of buffleheads
- An eared grebe
- A horned grebe
- At least a couple of blue-winged teals
- A common loon
The teals and the grebes were "lifers" for me, and the loon a first-of-year. The grebes, with their patches of yellow on the heads — feathery for the eared grebe, solid for the horned — are cool-looking, indeed.
I also saw, and heard, a choir of redwinged blackbirds in a copse of trees. On the Munger Trail, I saw a hermit thrush. I knew what it was because Bob King did such a good job of describing this bird to me a couple of days ago. I heard a white-throated sparrow, and I think I heard a song sparrow.
And I saw that flash of yellow.

WAPA receives 18 new storage tanks for liquid propane
Published: July 24, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. CROIX - More than a dozen board members and officials of the V.I. Water and Power Authority were on hand Wednesday morning for the arrival of the first eight of 18 liquid propane gas storage tanks being delivered to the territory.
The delivery of the oversized red tanks, which measure more than 140 feet long and towered more than 30 feet over the vehicles and people at the unloading, marks a milestone for the project being led by VITOL Virgin Islands Corporation.
The tanks were slowly removed from the crane vessel "Big Lift" under the watchful eye of about a half dozen crew members, who steadied the movement of the tanks with the aid of heavy tow lines.
The tanks now will be temporarily stored at the V.I. Port Authority's container port on St. Croix's southshore until they are barged to their final locations at the project sites at the Richmond Power Plant on St. Croix and the Harley Plant in Sub Base on St. Thomas.
The tanks were manufactured in Belgium and shipped to Holland before being brought to the territory.
The 10 tanks that will be placed on St. Thomas will soon also make a 15-day trek from Holland to St. Croix and also will be stored at the container port until they are moved once civil engineering and construction is complete.
Gov. John deJongh Jr., said he was pleased to see the progress WAPA is making, saying that it far surpasses anything that was thought of when he was chairman of the governing board of the utility 20 years ago.
He said WAPA continues to invest in its local staff and is forging forward with the support of local and federal agencies.
"We are making all of these strides with local skills and local talents," he said. "All of these projects show that WAPA understands that saving power equates to salary increases for everyone."
WAPA Executive Director Hugo Hodge Jr., said residents now will be able to see that the propane project is moving forward.
"Everyone will soon see that the fuel switch is real, and we are steadfast in our mission of lowering electricity rates for the people of the Virgin Islands," he said. "I personally visited the tanks while they were in the fabrication yard to ensure that the contractor was adhering to the highest technical standards, and I can say without a doubt that these LPG storage tanks are the product of world class fabrication technology."
Hodge said all of the tanks will be installed with 100 percent redundant safety mechanisms and will be encased in earthen and concrete mounts, storing propane on-site at the power plants in each district.
He said the largest tank weighs 315 tons, with a length of 165 feet, a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 30 feet.
WAPA Board Chairman Gerald Groner said the propane project, which entails building the infrastructure, converting seven of WAPA's GE turbines and supplying propane, is expected to reduce WAPA's fuel cost by approximately $90 million annually.
Groner said the savings to WAPA's customers is expected to stimulate the territory's economy by giving consumers more money in their pockets.
"The 90 million dollars we would have been sending to a fuel company will remain here and circulate around our territory," he said.
Hodge said more information about the fuel-switching project can be found at www.poweringvi.vi

Utility vehicle maker Mahindra & Mahindra on Tuesday said it has completed the purchase of Navistar International Corp's stakes in the medium & heavy trucks and engines joint ventures.
Utility vehicle maker Mahindra & Mahindra on Tuesday said it has completed the purchase of Navistar International Corp's stakes in the medium & heavy trucks and engines joint ventures.
Navistar announced in Dec its intention to exit the joint ventures as part of its turnaround strategy, which is focused on strengthening its North American core businesses and pursuing near-term initiatives to improve the company's return on invested capital performance.
"Mahindra remains committed to growing its presence in the Indian commercial vehicle industry with Mahindra's truck and engine businesses continuing to play a critical role in helping us achieve this goal," said Dr Pawan Goenka, president, automotive and farm equipment sectors.
As per the deal, Navistar can continue sourcing components from India while M&M would continue to provide engineering services to the US firm. The Navistar group will also continue to support M&M through license agreements and extend necessary support to MNAL and MNEPL for the purposes of business continuity.
M&M on Friday said standalone net profit for the third quarter rose 26 percent from a year ago to Rs 836 crore. Net sales for the three month period rose 29 percent year-on-year to Rs 10,643 crore.
M&M shares closed at Rs 884.50 on NSE on Tuesday, up 0.2 percent.

Microsoft Robots Are Coming
Page 2 of 2
Trower says Robotics Studio is intended to help the robot industry "bootstrap itself," the same way Microsoft's first DOS operating system provided a standard platform that other software writers were then able to use to write a host of applications, such as spreadsheets and word-processing programs, that eventually made PCs indispensable.
Once the toolkit graduates to full-product status later this year, the company will continue to provide it at no charge to academic and educational users, and charge commercial users a few hundred dollars per copy, according to Trower. "The market is just getting started, so it doesn't make sense to try to pull a large amount of revenue out of it," suggests Trower. "As the market grows and becomes a commercial reality, that's where we will recoup our investment."
Trower believes that PCs and robots are converging – and that Microsoft must invest in robotics if it wants to be a player in personal computing five to ten years from now. "Your PC is getting up off the desktop and beginning to interact in the same environment where you live in new ways, using cameras and sensors and speech technology and a variety of other advanced technologies," he says. "This is the direction that PCs are evolving."

Sign up for business training offered by SIFE in Nairobi
Dear Nairobi Local Representatives,
Thanks to Nabuur volunteer, Nonhlanhla Dube, the non-profit organization SIFE (http://www.sife.org/aboutsife/countrylocations/Pages/Kenya.aspx ) and its office in Kenya has proposed to offer a business and project management training for Local Representatives in Nairobi.
SIFE is a worldwide student led NGO that educates people on concepts like market economics, entrepreneurship, and business ethics through educational outreach projects.
John Keya, LR of Komarok (http://www.nabuur.com/en/user/john-keya/profile) has been developing some key issues that might be useful for you to get Girls live im Sexcam Chat, Livesex echter Livestrip. Livesex Sexcam Sexchat super Live Sex Cams geile Webcam Sex | sex chat | sex chat | sex chat training in, like how to write a project proposal, how to make your project self-sustainable, etc.)
But to oganise the meeting with SIFE, he now needs your help:
Please indicate:
- whether you would be interested in such a training in Nairobi
- what issues you would like being adressed in such a training
- your availabilities
Thank you very much!
Dear Local Representatives,
This is a unique opportunity to receive free project management and business training in Nairobi, and to meet other LRs and exchange ideas and good practice for your projects.
Please indicate:
- whether you would be interested in such a training in Nairobi
- what issues you would like being adressed in such a training
- your availabilities
Thanks Maria for the effort
I suggest that you collect the data for all those willing to participate, there after forward the names to the country trainer. the two of you come up with the day and venue then inform us accordingly.
This is a very good opportunity to link our local Reps/
Thanks and regards
Hello everyone,
I am happy to see that you are willing to make use of this opportunity. I read the comments from the teams in Uganda and I just checked the SIFE website but I could not find Uganda on the list of countries that are involved with SIFE :( The next best alternative I can think of is that you create a buddy system with the LRs in Kenya who receive training so that they can transfer the knowledge to you as well. I can also try to find out through other channels if this is indeed the case (maybe the information is not up to date). I will get back to you about that in due course.
SIFE is also active in Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland. If there are LRs from these countries who are interested we can try to make arrangements with the SIFE teams there. But I cannot make any promises, it already took us more than 8 months to get where we are now with SIFE ANU in Kenya. I can only promise that if there are interested people I can do my best to get their attention.
Good luck to the LRs in Kenya!! I hope this will be an unforgettable and great experience for you all. It may not be easy to organise everything but keep focused on the end goal and try to have fun while you're doing it.
Best wishes,
'If you are willing to change the world, let love be your energy.' Robbie Williams
You are right Nohnie
One thing that has impressed me about you is the kind of zeal and determination you put into the Kenyan SIFE meet.
I remember how hard you have been trying to track it through Tanzania, the downs until eventually you were able to make the Kenyan link.
Mine is to keep calling on all Kenyan LR's to keep registering so that you guys at nabuur can come up with a definite date and location.
It will be important if. after all is set, you post the list of the registered participants on nabuur say a week before then probably invite the Kenyan SIFE facilitator to comment on the next plan of action.
thanks so very much for your efforts Nohnie
Dear all,

You know how people say you should never get your significant other's name tattooed on you? Maybe that advice should also extend to making a music video together... because with the internet, music videos kind of are forever. So here's a list of 5 celebrity couples who have made a music video together — and then subsequently broke up.
John Mayer and Katy Perry's recent breakup was actually the catalyst for this list, given that they only just released their collaboration last year. John and Katy recorded the song "Who You Love" for John Mayer's most recent album, "Paradise." But shortly after their video was released, racking up 15 million views on VEVO, they broke up. Oops.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The son of U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd is facing alien smuggling charges in Arizona.
The Democratic congressman, who is seeking a seventh term this November, said Tuesday that his 30-year-old son, John Boyd, was
arrested Sunday on the human trafficking charges.
In a statement from his office, Congressman Boyd said his son is
a grown man and must face the consequences for his actions but has
the support of the family.
Boyd is being challenged by Panama City Republican Mark Mulligan in the Nov. 4 general election.

Re "Social Security set up as Ponzi scheme," March 14 letter:
The letter writer mixes deficits with social programs. Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do with deficits. This is just scare tactics put forth by corporate lobbyists and their media hacks.
The current deficit is down to where it was in 1992 (5 percent of GDP). Social Security has always generated its own revenue from payroll taxes and it is still solvent. It would still be solvent even if Congress lowered the retirement age to 55. The problem is average Americans are paying more than corporations. For every dollar of workers' payroll tax paid in the 1950s, corporations paid $3; now they pay 16 cents.
Capitalism is a pyramid scheme. By its very structure, only a few will ever receive its bounty that is wrung out of the exhausted hides of the vast majority. Wall Street would just love to place young workers' retirement security at the mercy of the stock market, where they would profit enormously from collecting management fees over their lifetime.
Health care costs are rising, but again, this has nothing to do with the size of government. Medicare has proven to be far more efficient than private health insurance. The culprit is private industry.
It's nonsense that the "government" has kept a "Ponzi scheme" going for over 70 years. When Americans are not paying attention, austerity measures will destroy the middle class and then everyone loses.

Water Resources
/ Drainage Water Management
Loading Tree...
DWM is the process of managing the timing and the amount of water discharged from agricultural drainage systems. DWM is based on the premise that the same drainage intensity is not required at all times during the year. With DWM, both water quality improvement and production benefits are possible. Water quality benefits are derived by minimizing unnecessary tile drainage, reducing the amount of nitrate that leaves farm fields. DWM systems can also retain water in fields that could be used for crop production later in the season.

Additional information:
Nutrient Management
Nutrient Management is managing the amount, source, placement, form, and timing of the application of plant nutrients and soil amendments. The current Illinois Agronomy Handbook should be used as a guide to establish nutrient and lime application rates. Nutrient management is used in conjunction with Drainage Water Management, Crop Rotation, Residue Management, Pest Management, conservation buffer practices, and/or other practices needed on a site-specific basis to address natural resource concerns and the landowner's objectives. The major role of nutrient management is to minimize nutrient losses from fields, thus helping protect surface and ground water supplies.
A Nutrient Management Plan is a conservation plan that identifies the nutrient needs of a given crop or crops being planted to minimize nutrient runoff while still producing good yields. The Nutrient Management Conservation Practice Standard (590) provides technical guidance implementing these plans.
Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans (CNMPs) are conservation plans unique to livestock operations. These plans document practices and strategies adopted by livestock operations to address natural resource concerns related to livestock manure and disposal of organic by-products.

MIAMI (AP) - If a 1-15 season can produce a hero, Greg Camarillo earned that title in 2007 for the Miami Dolphins.
The third-string receiver scored on a 64-yard reception in overtime in the 14th game of the year, allowing the Dolphins to avoid the NFL's first zero-and-16 season.
If the Dolphins are worse in 2008, they might get shut out in every game.
New boss Bill Parcells might throw up his hands in frustration and declare the situation hopeless.
It's more likely the Dolphins will show at least a little improvement this year. But that's not saying much, given that they had the worst record in franchise history in 2007.
A complete makeover was needed after Miami missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year, a franchise record. More than half the roster has turned over since last season, and it's likely to remain in flux for some time.
The Dolphins are unsettled at quarterback, at receiver and in the offensive line. The secondary has been a problem for years, and the front seven faces revamping following the offseason departures of Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, the defense's anchors for the past

POSTED: 9:25 a.m. HST, May 2, 2012
A 28-year-old Makaha is charged with striking a woman and then threatening to kill her while she was driving last month.
James Standford III is scheduled to appear in Family Court this morning to face second-degree terroristic threatening and abuse of family or household member charges. His bail is set at $4,000.
Police said that Standford got into an argument with a 28-year-old woman on April 28. During the argument Standford allegedly struck the woman in the face and head while she was driving. Standord then placed a hand on her knee forcing her push down on the gas pedal and told her she was going to die, police said.
He turned himself into police at the Kapolei substation on Tuesday. Police initially arrested Standford for suspicion of attempted murder and violating a protective order.
Standford's record include six misdemeanor convictions, including second-degree terroristic threatening and abuse of a family member.

OAKLAND, Calif. — With the Mango Kingz blaring through the McAfee Coliseum speakers, DeAngelo Hall and Dre Bly continued nearly a week's worth of jawing. Hall sprinted through a tunnel of Raider cheerleaders, past his Oakland teammates and over to near where Bly was standing on the Denver sideline. Hall shouted some words Bly's way, and Bly waved Hall away.
But by halftime of Denver's 41-14 win Monday night, Hall's previous assertion that he and Nnamdi Asomugha comprised the league's best cornerback tandem was moot.
Instead, Hall was flagged for two personal fouls in the first half, both for late hits after catches by Eddie Royal, while Denver quarterback Jay Cutler picked apart the Oakland secondary for more than 200 passing yards by halftime.
As the two teams left the field after 30 minutes, with Denver leading 17-0, it was Bly doing all the talking as he yapped at the Oakland fans who stood along the railing of the tunnel that leads to the locker rooms.
"We feel good about what we can do as a secondary," Bly said. "They've got their high-paid secondary, making big bucks, but we feel good about the guys we've got. We're not trying to get into a war of words with those guys."
Aside from the trash talk, the game hardly lived up to its pregame hype of being a cornerback cornucopia.
Denver cornerback Champ Bailey is arguably the league's best corner, with eight consecutive Pro Bowl appearances and 24 interceptions since coming to Denver in 2004.
The Raiders for the most part on Monday chose not to throw against Bailey or Bly, with Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell looking for receivers who were covered by a Denver linebacker or safety. Nickel corner Karl Paymah was in coverage on both of the Raiders' fourth-quarter touchdowns.
"Just looking at the way they approached us today, they didn't really try too many vertical passes," Bly said. "The game plan was to run the football, unlike us. They have two good corners, but we came out throwing the football."
The Broncos chose to test the Raiders, especially Hall, often.
The Raiders gave the Falcons a second-round draft pick so they could have Hall line up opposite Asomugha, a former first-round draft pick who had eight interceptions in 2006.
"There's no comparison when you have the two and three, or one and whatever," Hall said, his comment a dig at Bly, whom he has known for more than decade. "There's no comparison."
Bailey and Bly's teammates disagreed.
Broncos linebacker Boss Bailey, Champ's brother and a teammate of Bly's when they both played in Detroit, was admittedly biased when earlier in the week he called the tandem the "best duo the league has seen in a long time."
Beyond Bailey's and Bly's big-play ability, Boss Bailey said the duo affect the game even when they are not being thrown against, as was the case for much of Monday's game.
"It gives us a lot of confidence," Boss Bailey said. "We know we've got to do our thing in the passing game too, but when it comes to the run and play-action, we know they're going to hold up their end up there."
Fab four
The two cornerback tandems in Monday night's game at Oakland could arguably be considered the best in the NFL. A look at the four corners:

Nominated by Howard Rheingold
Paul Rankin's quest to use digital technologies for cultural preservation, literally from Timbuktu to the Himalayas, makes him of a kind of do-gooder Indiana Jones for the Web age. As Rankin describes his mission:
Indigenous peoples are 4 percent of the world's population, but half of humanity's cultures. Yet they are the poorest and most disenfranchised. One language dies every 10 days; within 50 years over half the world's languages will be gone. Cultural diversity is disappearing much faster than plant or animal diversity. We face a cataclysmic loss of millennia of wisdom and knowledge whilst threatened by megacity monocultures, economies of scale, environmental destruction and greed. We all need their understanding of fragile environments, custodianship of biodiversity, sustainable models of cooperative living, alternative approaches to education, health and well being, skills, artistry and ancient wisdom.
Storytelling transmits the essence of any culture, encapsulating deeper beliefs, values and identity, inspiring ways of behaving and believing. 'Living Cultural Storybases' helps minority communities build evolving digital repositories in their own language of their cultural narratives and knowledge, i.e. 'Storybases'.Ppilots in Peru and Mali prove that training young agents to record their elder's stories, using novel appropriate technologies and the resulting community digital resource, empower the community, strengthen cultural identity, pride and social cohesion, reconnect the generations, include their urban Diaspora in an Internet dialogue and create new economic opportunities.
This piece is part of Worldchanging's Attention Philanthropy campaign. All week long, the Worldchanging Network will be delivering "attention grants" to worthy projects, individuals, resources and more. You can learn more about these gifts of notice and find other entries by clicking here.
The link to Living Cultural Storybases doesn't work (it includes the worldchanging archive info). The actual link is http://www.storybases.org
Fixed! Thanks.
I should have added my support for the project (not that I'm involved with it) — I like the respect it shows to the cultures by aiming to support and facilitate rather than "solve problems" or "impose solutions". The site's well worth a look.
Thank you, Howard for donating this posting to World Changing! I've just returned to UK from a great, very intense and productive 'Living Cultural Storybases' retreat with the core team in Oregon.
The storybases architecture, platform and product roadmap is much clearer now. We can see a route to scalability and real cultural impact- communities evolving their own digital cultural resource, accessible to all members of a minority culture/language group :-)

Dave Van Ronk's 'Down in Washington Square' is a new three-CD set.
- Filed Under
"Down In Washington Square" (Smithsonian-Folkways) is a new three-CD set from Dave Van Ronk (1936-2002), a leading musician in Greenwich Village for nearly 50 years. Much of the set is drawn from the late '50s and early '60s Folkways albums, and a third of the 50-plus songs are previously unreleased live recordings stretching from 1958 to 2001.
A native of Brooklyn, Van Ronk became active in the Greenwich Village scene in the mid-'50s, several years before the folk revival swept the country. His autobiography, "Mayor of MacDougal Street," was a major inspiration for the Coen Brothers' ...

FOLKSTON, GA -- The Easter Festival in Folkston is back on but not without controversy.
Last year, the festivities were cancelled. County Commissioners said the reason was drugs, alcohol and fights.
This year, festival organizers worked with commissioners to get the 60 year tradition back on track.
"The commission said they wanted it organized. So, we put a plan together to organize it and we gave them the plan. As far as we know it, they didn't have any problem with it," says organizer Ralph Bolden.
Bolden says they gave commissioners a plan weeks ago. Minutes from the Commission's February meeting, say the plan was approved. But Bolden says days ago things started to change.
"They're putting a time restriction on the park forcing us to cancel a lot of stuff that we had organized," says Bolden.
Bolden says Charlton County Commissioners have cut festival hours short for Sunday.
"The reason basically is public safety," says Steven Nance, the County's Administrator.
Organizers say the county has also blocked parking in the area with "no parking" signs. County officials say it's because the park is in a residential area.
"Streets have to be kept clear for safety reasons. We had a shooting three or four years ago and couldn't get the ambulance in," says Nance.
Festival organizers say other parks holding festivities are not facing the same restrictions. Nance says it's because the park's are holding functions under control of the county and the parks are not in residential areas.
"It's not fair," says Boldon. Who believes race may be playing an issue. "It's not a racial issue. Three of five county commissioners are black and said this is the way things have to be," says Nance.
Bolden says he'll abide by the new rule changes, but he will confont the commission about the issue after the weekend.

|Augmentation of adenovirus 5 vector-mediated gene transduction under physiological pH conditions by a chitosan/NaHCO(3) solution.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20882055 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide, can enhance recombinant adenovirus vector (rAdv)-mediated gene transduction (AMGT) in cells that lack the rAdv receptor, coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR). However, gene transduction using chitosan for such cell types has so far only been successful under non-physiological pH conditions as chitosan is insoluble under physiological pH conditions. Here we report that NaHCO(3) can greatly improve the solubility of chitosan at physiological pH (pH 7.4). We show that this chitosan/NaHCO(3) solution increases AMGT approximately 8-24-fold in several CAR-absent or CAR low-level-expressing cell lines from different species and tissue origins (for example, Chinese hamster ovary, B16, DC2.4 and RD cells). Chitosan/NaHCO(3) also increases AMGT of CAR-positive cell lines 1.6-1.7-fold. The presence of fetal bovine serum during rAdv treatment and impurities in rAdv preparations did not adversely affect transduction efficiency. Moreover, chitosan/NaHCO(3) promotes AMGT efficiency for murine melanoma B16 xenografted tumor cells in C57/BL6 mice. Our new protocol provides a CAR-independent, highly efficient and convenient technique to enhance AMGT both in vitro and in vivo under physiological pH conditions.

Our recent flooding has narrowed some of the camping options ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Palisades State Park near Garretson expects campers to trickle in after being diverted by the broken dam that's closed Blue Mounds State Park in Luverne, Minnesota. Palisades is welcoming the anticipated inflow of new visitors from across the border.
Palisades State Park is a lush oasis in the midst of a storm-battered landscape.
"It's beautiful. I think everybody's a little shocked by the fact that there could be a horrible storm any minute, but, it's South Dakota," camper Rodney Bergeson said.
Palisades didn't escape flood damage altogether. Overflow from Split Rock Creek left the park's hiking trails underwater.
"But once the water recedes, we go through and clean them up and they're usually ready to go in a few days. There's maybe some muddy spots but they accessible then," District Park Supervisor Travis Theilen said.
Palisades served as a rainy-day refuge for campers who were chased out of Brandon's Big Sioux Recreation Area by flooding.
"A lot of folks that we had coming into Big Sioux, we get a lot of local use there as well, so I'm guessing there were some lives that were affected by flooding of personal homes and things," Theilen said.
Palisades expects campers who would normally trek to flood-damaged Blue Mounds State Park twenty miles away to come here instead.
"There's going to be some changed vacation plans and I think this is a location where we can bring a lot of folks in for a wide assortment of day-use activities," Theilen said.
Campsites are booked solid through the Fourth of July weekend. But there's plenty of room for dayside visitors over the holiday. Yet, getting them here took some convincing, at first.
"Initially, that very week following that major rainfall event, we had a lot of phone calls from folks that were concerned and curious about their vacation plans and I expected that and we handled those calls, Theilen said.
Palisades has a lot of built-in advantages when it comes to flood control that other parks don't. Whenever the Split Rock Creek goes over its banks, it has no impact on the campers who are safely tucked away at their campsites high above the banks.
"It's a little sanctuary, it is. It's quite a bit higher than the river, and also to have a cabin, these other brave people are in tents, but I prefer a little bit of air-conditioning," Bergeson said.
The stormy summer has put many vacation plans on hold. But Palisades expects visitor numbers to rebound with the arrival of drier weather. For families facing flood damage, the cure for cabin fever won't arrive until cleanup is complete.
"There's a lot of personal lives impacted from this and I think once all that straightens out and settles down, we'll start to see a little more use than normal," Theilen said.
All camping reservations at Blue Mounds State Park in Minnesota are cancelled through July 13th.

" Location: Bickleigh, Tiverton / www.devonrailwaycentre.co.uk "
The Devon Railway centre in Bickleigh, Mid Devon is a lovely little family run attraction that we have visited on a couple of occasions.
Now, my only interest in trains is whether they can get me from A to B but my son is 5 and train mad and loves this place. It's charm is it's uncomercialised nature so don't expect a theme park, but for a young child (or older train buff) it's a great place to spend a couple of hours.
The centre was established in 1997 on the derelict site of the former Bickleigh station which closed in 1963. The track was changed to fit smaller narrow gauge trains and the station has also been restored. Coaches have been rebuilt and house several model railway layouts which are detailed and impressive including sound and lighting which make the scenes very atmospheric. There are nice touches you don't see in bigger attractions like step stools provided for younger kids to be able to see.
Narrow gauge (small) trains were apparently used in industry such as mining and several have been restored by the centre and are now used to give rides around the site. This is something my son particularly likes because you can ride as many times as you wish on your entry ticket. Enthusiasts will like the detailed information available on the history of each train.
There is a small Victorian model village and a gnome village which the train does a circuit round which again is nice for young children.
Some train coaches have recently been converted into an inside play area which is a well thought out use of space with a big wooden train set, some ride on toys, a sandpit and a ball pool. There is also an outdoor play area and a crazy golf course for a small extra charge.
The station itself is now being used as a tea rooms and although we haven't eaten there as yet, the prices look reasonable and the food to be light snacks which look appetising. We have so far taken a picnic and used the area provided which is also set out as a small nature area beside the river. The centre has its own car park. I do not think that it would be easy to use a wheel chair on the site as most of the attractions involve climbing onto trains or stationary carriages.
Admission charges are £6.10 adults
Child £4.90
Senior £5.10
Family £18.80 which covers 2 adults and 3 children whilst under 3s are free.
Santa specials and other events are held throughout the year.
To sum up, if you have a young child who likes trains its worth an afternoons visit.
Railway theme park, model village and more.

|Use of the continuity equation for transesophageal Doppler assessment of severity of proximal left coronary artery stenosis: a quantitative coronary angiography validation study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9669247 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: We tested the value of transesophageal Doppler echocardiography (TEDE) for quantitating proximal left coronary artery (LCA) stenosis by using the continuity equation. BACKGROUND: The continuity equation applied to a stenosis states that the ratio of the time-velocity integral (TVI) of prestenotic to stenotic flow velocities is equal to the ratio of stenotic to prestenotic cross-sectional areas. TEDE allows the measurement of coronary blood flow velocities within the proximal part of the LCA. METHODS; Forty-one patients with a stenosis of the proximal or mid left anterior descending coronary artery or with a nonostial stenosis of the left main coronary artery were studied. Coronary flow velocities were recorded by TEDE guided by color flow imaging. Prestenotic velocities were recorded by pulsed Doppler echocardiography and transstenotic velocities were recorded by pulsed or high pulse repetition frequency or continuous wave Doppler echocardiography. The prestenotic and transstenotic diastolic TVIs were calculated and the TEDE-derived percent area stenosis was calculated as (1 - TVI ratio) x 100. Quantitative angiography lesion analysis was performed using a computer-assisted automated edge-detection system. RESULTS: TEDE recordings were successful in 35 of the 41 patients. A good linear correlation was found between TEDE and quantitative angiographically derived percent area stenosis (r = 0.89, p = 0.0001, SEE 5.7). However, TEDE measurements underestimated the actual percent area stenosis (slope of regression 0.54). A better agreement (slope 1.08) was obtained after dividing prestenotic velocity by 2 in the continuity equation, based on the assumption of a parabolic cross-sectional velocity profile in the prestenotic segment. CONCLUSIONS: TEDE may be used for quantitating stenosis of the proximal part of the LCA with the use of a modified continuity equation that takes into account the parabolic velocity profile in the normal prestenotic segment.

JOHN BEGNAUD: Soils collected water from winter weather
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What a difference a year can make. We went from the driest winter on record to saturated soils in 12 months.
Even though runoff has not yielded any appreciable gain in surface water supplies, area soils have collected, stored and funneled water to underground sources. Plants are definitely benefiting from rains and snows of fall and winter.
Precipitation along with fairly moderate winter temperatures has left soils wet and warm enough for roots to grow. Research indicates that many plants can continue to have root activity even when plants are dormant if moisture keeps root hairs hydrated and soil temperatures are around 45 degrees or above.
Root activity includes growth, expansion and absorption of nutrients. The warmer the soil in the root zone, the more active that roots remain.
This combination is preparing both landscape and range plants for an explosive spring. This is very different from the spring of 2011. It is exactly what we needed for drought-stressed trees on the range and landscape trees, shrubs and, to some extent, turf to recover from the heat and drought.
The lightning many of us witnessed with the recent rain is a bonus because of the nitrogen addition to soils.
You may remember our school science lessons discussing the nitrogen cycle and the importance of atmospheric nitrogen to plant growth. Approximately 78 percent of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen gas. With a lightning strike in the atmosphere, some nitrogen becomes fixed into compounds and is delivered to the ground with snow or rain.
This process is not a major source of soil nitrogen, but it's helpful.
Fertilizer will be an important step to improve the health of stressed plants and will benefit most landscape plants when applied once active shoot growth appears. This will depend on air temperatures and is likely to be around mid-March or early April for trees, shrubs and turf.
It is best to wait until the chances of late spring freezes have passed to fertilize.
The recent rains also have cleansed the soil by leaching. When irrigation water is the sole source of water, compounds including salts are applied with each irrigation and accumulate in the root zone.
Irrigation water varies with the source as to the kinds and amounts of compounds that are included as total dissolved solids. Some of these will retard root and shoot growth and can reduce plant vigor.
This is a major reason why, when a soaking rain follows an extended dry period during the growing season, grass shows a near immediate response with improved color and growth. These detrimental compounds and salts are diluted and leached below the plants root zone by adequate rainfall.
Another benefit of the fall and winter rains is the upcoming wildflower explosion. The bluebonnets are germinated and established as low-growing rosettes hugging the ground. With time and the warming of spring we should see a bountiful wildflower display along our roadways, especially in the Hill Country.
Weeds also have exploded in many lawns and shrub beds. Most winter weeds can be controlled during the warmer days of January and February, before these weeds bloom and set seed.
Roundup and new glyphosate substitutes are safe and effective for many of our winter weeds when used according to the label. Be cautious when controlling weeds in St. Augustine turf because many of these lawns are not dormant but still have green exposed runners and the glyphosates should not be used on St. Augustine this year.
One more parting tip: If you received as much as one inch of rain in January, your soil irrigation needs have been met for the whole month for landscapes except those people who live on sandy soils.
