Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can provide multiple benefits for biomedical applications in aqueous environments such as magnetic separation or magnetic resonance imaging. To increase the colloidal stability and allow subsequent reactions, the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups onto the particles' surface is essential. During this process, the original coating is exchanged by preferably covalently bonded ligands such as trialkoxysilanes. The duration of the silane exchange reaction, which commonly takes more than 24 h, is an important drawback for this approach. In this paper, we present a novel method, which introduces ultrasonication as an energy source to dramatically accelerate this process, resulting in high-quality water-dispersible nanoparticles around 10 nm in size. To prove the generic character, different functional groups were introduced on the surface including polyethylene glycol chains, carboxylic acid, amine, and thiol groups. Their colloidal stability in various aqueous buffer solutions as well as human plasma and serum was investigated to allow implementation in biomedical and sensing applications.

On the floor next to my desk as I write is Peace, They Say, Jay Nordlinger's new history of the Nobel Peace Prize; Surviving Hell, Leo Thorsness's account of his years as a POW in North Vietnamese; and Nicholas Carr's The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains.
I really want to read them.
But I still haven't gotten around to At the Edge of the Precipice, Robert Remini's book on Henry Clay and the Compromise of 1850; All Other Nights, Dara Horn's historical thriller about Jewish soldiers in the Civil War; and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's memoir, Infidel -- and I really wanted to read them, too.
I suppose it's time I faced reality: I'll never catch up on my must-read list. How can I, when they keep publishing books I'm so impatient to read?
William F. Buckley Jr. once described the experience of entering a well-appointed home in which something seemed out of order. It took him a few moments to realize the problem: There were no books. It was jarring, Buckley wrote, to be confronted with the fact that are people in whose lives books play no role whatsoever.
In my life, by contrast, books increasingly seem to play the role of those falling geometric shapes in Tetris. That's the classic video game in which you either clear out the shapes efficiently as they fall, or they stack up so high that no space is left -- and you lose.
It's an old lament of mine that I'm not a fast writer, but to paraphrase Tevye the Dairyman, would it spoil some vast eternal plan if God had made me at least a fast reader? Theodore Roosevelt was able to read, on average, a book a day; when he compiled a list in 1903 of the books he'd read since becoming president two years earlier, it ran to three single-spaced pages. Over the course of an exceptionally busy life, he read thousands of books, many in foreign languages. And, his biographer Edmund Morris notes, TR generally remembered everything he read. Dear Lord, what I wouldn't give for reading prowess like that.

Edinburgh, Scotland
|8 March 1814 (aged 82)
Pentonville, England
|Known for
|Design of the flush toilet
This article is about the inventor. For the Governor of Colorado, see Alexander Cummings
Alexander Cumming (often referred to as Cummings, 1731/2–8 March 1814) was a Scottish watchmaker who was the first to patent a design of the flush toilet. The S-shaped trap (or bend) was invented by Cumming in 1775 to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings.[1] It survives in today's plumbing modified as a U- or J-shaped pipe trap located below or within a plumbing fixture.
Cumming was a mathematician and mechanic as well as a watchmaker. Little is known of his early life. He is believed to have been born in Edinburgh. In the 1750s he was employed by Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll at Inverary as an organ builder as well as a clockmaker.[2] After his move to England he continued to work in both fields. The Earl of Bute and his family commissioned a series of elaborate barrel organs with which Cumming was involved.[3][4]
By 1763 he had premises in Bond Street, London, and "had acquired a sufficient reputation to be appointed a member of the commission set up in that year to adjudicate on John Harrison's 'timekeeper for discovering the longitude at sea'".[2] He made a barometrical clock for King George III, who paid him an annual retainer for its maintenance.[5] Other barometrical clocks created by him are at the Science Museum and on the Isle of Bute.[6] He wrote books about watch and clock work, about the effect on roads of carriage wheels with rims of various shapes, and on the influence of gravity.
With his brother he was involved in the development of the Pentonville district of London, where there is a Cumming street. He had a house in the district and an organ shop.
He became a magistrate in 1779. In 1781 he was made an honorary freeman of the Clockmakers' Company. In 1783 the Royal Society of Edinburgh was created and Cumming was made a Fellow.[2][7]
As a result of his making instruments for Capt. Phipps's voyage in the polar regions, the island of Cummingøya in Svalbard was named after him.[8]

D700 Repair Options
Jul 14, 2014
My beloved D700 has a problem. The metering mode selector switch on the rear of the camera has broken and now turns freely without changing the metering mode. I bought the camera used over a year ago, so it's out of warranty. I've owned several Nikon cameras, but have never had one need to be repaired before.
What are my options? Does it have to go back to Nikon, or can I send it to another reputable repair shop? I remember reading somewhere a while back that Nikon was no longer making parts available to outside shops. Is this true? Unfortunately, there are no camera shops of any kind in my area, so I'll be shipping the camera regardless.
Can anyone suggest a qualified shop other than Nikon?

This is a very simple and easy way to make stiff buttercream. and if you need to thin it out but the amount in a seperate bowl and add little drops of warm water till you get your desired consistansy
- 2 sticks butter(softened), 1 cup shortening, 1 tsp clear vanilla, 2lb bag powdered sugar, and milk.
- Cream margarine, shortening, and vanilla together. Add powdered sugar 1/4 bag at a time adding a couple Tbsp of milk as you go.
WandaMay Says... 2010-08-06 05:22:25
I realy enjoy learning new recipes, although couls someone please tell me how large ( cup size, ) is a stick of butter???? Thank you.
sherilou Says... 2010-08-06 05:30:01
WandaMay - a stick of butter is 1/2 Cup
Westheimer Says... 2010-08-06 05:33:04
I don't know about cup size (measurement by volume), but if you have a scale you could always measure it by weight. One stick of butter = 1/4 pound = 4 ounces = 115 grams.
roxsbury02 Says... 2010-08-06 06:14:07
Yes, WandaMay a half cup of butter is one stick. I make a variation of this.....I use margerine instead of butter, 2 teaspoons of clear vanilla, and the 2lb bag of powdered sugar + 1/2 cup as the bag only contains 7 1/2 cups. This recipe along with variations of it are in the wilton yearbooks.
roxsbury02 Says... 2010-08-06 06:15:43
I didn't mention that I use the same amount of crisco 1... cup
cakeapprentice1923 Says... 2010-08-06 08:26:08
this isnt a wilton recipe.....but its similer to a wilton frosting
Stitian650 Says... 2010-08-08 14:14:14
Is it the shortening that makes it stiff? I love the taste of buttercream frosting but I am always having difficulty decorating with it because I live in a VERY hot and humid climate and it softens very quickly. The above recipe is the same as what I normally use but I have never added shortening and was wondering if that may solve the problem. Also does it tend to alter the taste any?
justnikki Says... 2010-08-09 08:03:57
Shortening will stand up to higher temperatures better than butter - if you are worried about altering the flavor, you can always add some butter flavor. I always use half butter and half shortening to reduce the greasy feeling straight shortening can leave in your mouth.
Renee1971 Says... 2010-09-03 14:50:23
I cannot use shortening due to it containing soy. My child and I are allergic to soy. In the past, if a recipe called for shortening I used straight lard. The taste is fine. But I have not tried it in frosting. I have to make a cake tonight and am wondering if anyone has used lard in their frosting recipes.
Roni122 Says... 2010-09-05 04:43:05
I am guessing that you have to refrigerate due to butter and milk? I usually use Wilton recipe due to not needing refrigeration. I liked the comment you made about the "greasy feeling in mouth" and would like to try this instead - would it be safe out of the fridge? and for how long?
missoli Says... 2010-09-29 10:02:15
Can I substitute water for the milk so I don't have to worry about it spoiling???
cakeapprentice1923 Says... 2010-10-24 11:53:19
yes, warm water
cakeapprentice1923 Says... 2010-10-24 11:54:09
but frostng goes bad in the fridge after 2 weeks, it goes bad in the freezer after 2 monthes
Venziballs Says... 2010-12-14 18:51:57
I use this exact recipe minus the milk. although I think it tastes more like a bakery frosting than a buttercream. I've never had a problem leaving cakes out at room temp although like I said, I don't add the milk.
mmich Says... 2011-02-02 15:17:25
This is the old Wilton buttercream recipe. It's not the one they publish anymore, but if anyone has any of the old books/recipe cards this is *exactly* what is printed, except Wilton had you add the milk completely at the end.
Angie0207 Says... 2011-08-07 14:15:33
what about meringue powder? Do you put that in the frosting for decorating purposes say for instance preparing a cake to be covered by fondant or basic decorating when you want a crust?

18.104.22.168 Global dates and times
The note on time zone offsets says in part: "...and the minutes component of offsets of actual time zones is always either 00, 30, or 45." Really this is arbitrary and prone to change. The total range of time zones also changes from time to time. I would suggest inserting a "at the time this document was published" caveat such that innocent readers are not caught by surprise by a new 15 minute time zone offset or by more monkey business surrounding the IDL.
#1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-05-08 00:16:02 +0000
Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The document is republished every few minutes, so that wouldn't help much.
If the time zones change such that this note is wrong, we'll fix the note.
#2 Addison Phillips 2012-05-08 00:51:05 +0000
It wouldn't hurt to make the change, though. It is sometimes useful to remind people that time zones are subject to (actually quite frequent) change. A lot of implementers are blissfully unaware of that fact.
#3 Addison Phillips 2012-05-08 00:52:03 +0000
And I should add: it may be better if implementations, tests, etc. didn't assume these values were true in a hardcoded fashion.
Let me know if the new wording is satisfactory...
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7196.
Check-in comment: Clarify that time zones change, to encourage implementors not to make bad assumptions.


text: After about 3 years of learning physics, I still can't understand how the kinetic energy formula works. If the velocity of an object is doubled, why does the energy increase by a factor of four? Here's an example where this theory breaks down for me: I have a stationary object in space. To accelerate this object I have some sort of propulsion method which is powered by a battery. Lets say I accelerate it to 10m/s. This would require energy from the battery over a period of time for acceleration. Ok, so I drain the battery to half empty accelerating it. Now I want to double its velocity to 20m/s. The remaining half of the battery should be enough energy because the object is accelerating in the same way over the same period of time. So why is it true that I need 4x the energy to accomplish this? Is my example not possible? Am I missing something?

The rest of the story
By Ken Trainor
Who'd have guessed that the late, great River Forester, Paul Harvey, would be the hit of this year's Super Bowl ads? A couple of years ago, it was Oak Park native (and nonagenarian) Betty White in the year's big commercial (playing football, no less) so Harvey is continuing our strong local connection.
A tape of Harvey's 1978 speech to the Future Farmers of America was used as a voiceover for a Dodge Ram truck commercial, which struck a chord in millions of viewers. Over 5 million hits on the YouTube version the following day attests to its impact.
Harvey was an immensely popular radio broadcaster whose short newscasts were syndicated nationwide for decades. Folksy and witty, he was a great defender of traditional American values and that was clearly in evidence in his rendition of "So God Made a Farmer," which someone had sent him anonymously and which he incorporated into the 1978 speech.
Here's the text:
And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker!" So God made a farmer.
God said, "I need somebody to get up before dawn and milk cows and work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer.
"I need somebody with strong arms. Strong enough to rustle a calf, yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry and have to wait for lunch until his wife is done feeding and visiting with the ladies and telling them to be sure to come back real soon ... and mean it." So, God made a farmer.
God said, "I need somebody who can shape an ax handle, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, make a harness out of hay wire, feed sacks, and shoe scraps. And ... who, at planting time and harvest season, will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon. Then, pain'n from 'tractor back,' put in another 72 hours." So God made a farmer.
God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop midfield and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer.
God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees, heave bails and yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink combed pullets ... and who will stop his mower for an hour to mend the broken leg of a meadowlark." So God made a farmer.
It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight ... and not cut corners. Somebody to seed and weed, feed and breed ... and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody to replenish the self-feeder and then finish a hard day's work with a 5-mile drive to church. Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who'd laugh and then sigh ... and then respond with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life 'doing what dad does.' So God made a farmer.
According to Wikipedia (which someone put up the following day), "The speech also ran in Paul Harvey's syndicated newspaper column in 1986. In an introduction, Harvey disclaimed authorship: 'This next arrived unsigned in my mailbag. I've tried but cannot trace its source. A farmer, perhaps; more likely a farmer's wife. I've embellished the essay in places and cropped it in others but I hope the sense of it remains intact.'"
You can see why Paul Harvey was popular.

Beautiful piece, except for the nonsense about "and who will stop his mower for an hour to mend the broken leg of a meadowlark." Please. I've known a number of farmers, and that ain't gonna happen during work hours. The author should have quit while she/he was ahead.

Helleborus foetidus
Winter Garden
Helleborus foetidus, or stinking hellebore, is an erect perennial with hairless, leafy, biennial stems and dark green leaves, which when bruised give off an unpleasant smell. But this is not a reason to ignore our native hellebore which from midwinter to mid-spring bears many-flowered cymes of pendent, bell-shaped yellow-green flowers, which are usually purple margined. It will succeed in any good garden soil, preferring a moist, well-drained rich loam in a sheltered position. It associates well with early daffodils and snowdrops to make a display to gladden any winter weary heart.

Bulgaria fines CEZ
Bulgaria's Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP) has fined electricity distribution company CEZ for continued breaches of privacy protection regulations, reports the Sofia Echo. Last year the commission ordered CEZ to stop requiring proof-of-right-to-use documentation from new clients. "They do not need this data," said CPDP member Krassimir Dimitrov. Before actually levying the 100,000 Leva fine, the commission will again investigate CEZ to see if the practice has been stopped. The CPDP is investigating other Bulgarian companies for the unnecessary collection of data. Recently, the commission ordered Sofiyska Vodka to stop over-collecting.

My wife and I are visiting a couple we dearly love but only get to see occasionally. The men are in one room; the women in another. I am listening as my friend speaks of some ideas that have been of paramount importance to him in his conduct of pastoral ministry. I find myself marveling at his wisdom and spiritual depth. Suddenly, almost impulsively, I say to him, "Do you think it's possible that God is laying the tracks for you to become a bishop some day? You'd be a great pastor to pastors."
He gasps and calls out to his wife in the other room. "You have to hear what Gordon just said." The women join us, and he asks me to repeat myself, which I do. Now, both friends seem incredulous, and he finally asks. "How could you know that in the past two weeks I have been asked to stand for election to a bishopric? We haven't shared this with anyone."
What follows is a long discussion that assists our two friends in clarifying those issues that are facing them in this potentially life-altering opportunity.* * *
I am leading a board meeting in which I have the privilege of being the chairman. As one person after another speaks in favor of a motion, I find myself observing one board member who sits in silence. When all the extroverts at the table have exhausted their noisy thinking, I turn to the silent board member and say, "Would I be correct if I said that something bothers you about this discussion?"
She seems embarrassed by my question, but after a pause says, "I wasn't going to say anything. But since you asked, I'll take that as an indication that I should say that I have a strong check in my spirit about this matter despite the fact that I seem to be ...

Three Days Grace - Transit Of Venus (FLAC) 2012 {MegaDev}

Three Days Grace - Transit Of Venus (FLAC) 2012 {MegaDev} (Size: 300.95 MB)
Transit of Venus is the upcoming fourth studio album by Canadian rock band, Three Days Grace. The album is set to be released on October 2, 2012, and available for pre-order on August 14, 2012. The album was produced by Don Gilmore and recorded at Revolution Studios in Toronto. On June 5, 2012, the same day as Venus' visible transit across the sun, the band released the album title and release date. Five videos were released via YouTube to promote the album, all containing teasers of songs on the album. There may be more teasers following the fifth. "Some things will never happen again in your life time" was the slogan created for the album, referring to both Venus crossing the sun and the mood that the lyrics and music will most likely take on.
"We went for a tighter, more articulated sound on this record", said Neil, the drummer of the band. "The music we were writing was a little more intricate than in the past, and we've been experimenting with new instruments. We wanted to present these new ideas concisely without going over-the-top in ambience and overall production." On August 1, 2012, the band announced on their Facebook page that they have finished the recording process of the album "Going out on a limb here but I think this record....is actually....finished....wow...what a great journey....thanks to Don Gilmore." The album was leaked on September 27, 2012.

Photography MonthlyThe end of the year is fast approaching us and to round off 2014, the Tate Modern in London is showcasing an exhibition of Photography to make us think. Conflict, Time. A huge survey has found that photographs which document big conflicts of the past years have a distinct lack of people captured within the images. That we are able to capture conflict in its most poignant moments is astounding - we've come so far with technology. Yet is there a lack of humanistic perspective throughout many historical images?

ReBoot Camp ™ 4 Paris (France) with Michael Andreula
What if in 6 days you could take control over your life and achieve the body you know you deserve?
Have you thought about what it would be like to take control over your life, and get what you want from your
mind and body? What kind of life would you have if you could wake up every morning and jump out of bed
excited to start the day-- eating right and working out, knowing that you were completely aligned in
mind and body?
Apply Now
Massively improve your health, your focus, and
ultimately your ability to get the most from your
life; it all starts with the foundation of how you think, feel, eat,
train and behave—it all begins at my favorite event,
ReBoot Camp.
At its core, ReBoot Camp is about
understanding why you feel and behave the way
you do. With this understanding and some key
tools and strategies, this six-day program will
help you 'reboot' and create the happiness,
health, love, passion, success and body you
desire and deserve.
What is stopping you from having the body you want right now?
Often times there's something that seems to hold us back, an internal conflict, something that causes us to
self-sabotage. Do you know anyone who has sabotaged their own body? Would you like to learn how to
re-prioritize your habits to put your health and well-being first?
Our body in life is determined by the decisions we make, moment-by-moment
These decisions, and the actions that result from them, are ultimately determined by our
beliefs, values, rules and experiences. When these forces are in conflict or chaos, the
inevitable result is self-sabotage, frustration and challenge.
What if at ReBoot Camp you could align these powerful forces, and pull yourself in the direction of your Ultimate Body Vision?
We want Rebooters to power yourself with a clarity that brings health and fulfillment to your body and a mind filled with passion and purpose?

Discover exactly what you need to achieve your highest level of fitness, then develop a step-by-step process for aligning your beliefs, values and experiences in a way that pulls you in the direction of your ultimate body vision.
Create lasting change in your body and learn how you can influence and positively impact lasting change in the health of those around you.

Bob has a diverse technical background as a field service engineer and has worked in the home improvement industry since 2007. He has inspected hundreds of below-grade spaces and relishes the opportunity to solve water problems for frustrated homeowners.
Bob earned the highly esteemed "Certified Waterproofing Professional" designation through the Basement Systems International Network of Waterproofing Contractors. In addition, he has degrees in both electronics technology and business management.
"One of the best parts of my job is getting to know customers and earning their trust," Bob says. "I want to do the right thing for them – and I train all of our project managers to do the same for the families they serve."
A lifelong resident of the Lansing, Michigan area, Bob currently lives in Mason, Michigan. He has traveled extensively, including working in 32 countries. He speaks German, formerly served in the U.S. Army, and holds an FCC license to operate high-wattage radio equipment. Bob's favorite leisure activities are woodworking, tennis and collecting Lionel trains.
To keep the water out, this homeowner had Basement System's SunHouse window wells installed. The SunHouse lids will keep debris from piling up inside the well and allow the outside light to shine in.
WaterGuard is a full perimeter drainage system that captures water and transports it to the sump pump before it can gain access to any of your personal items. Once the topcoat of concrete drys, the basement floor will look as good as new!

Responsive PSD Photoshop Design Template
Today's free PSD is something more experimental, so please be kind if it's not your type of thing! It's a experimental responsive PSD template that allows quick and easy design mockups in different widths and sizes. The PSD template is set up with a number of generic device widths to simulate a few of the mobile devices on the market.
This responsive PSD template uses Photoshop smart objects for all the heavy work. Simply update one of the smart objects in any of the device width folders and that image or block will update across all the device widths. Well thats the idea anyways!
This is the first time I've ever used or seen smart objects be used in this way to achieve a responsive PSD template, so please feel free to let me know how I could improve it or make it better! Again this is a very experimental idea at the moment so please let me know what you all think!
How to use the Responsive PSD Template
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and then expand or open any of the 320px, 640px, 980px or 1024px folders and select a smart layer.
- Alt click (mac) the smart layer and the layer should open a new window which you can edit its contents in.
- Make your changes then save and close the file.
- Your changes should be updated across all the different device widths in all folders and instances of that smart object.
Learn more about Photoshops Smart objects here.

DC Comics and Converse - www.entertheirworld.com
This was a choose your own adventure with DC Heroes. Mostly Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Honestly, this was one of the hardest projects I've ever worked on. Here is a write up to give you an idea of what DC and Converse did:
Dark Knight Rises prologue
This was a motion comic that was exclusive to Nokia phones. Pretty much it was an adaptation of the opening of to DKR. It was a lot of fun working on it and made me even more excited for the film than I already was. This was eventually collected into a comic form for the Limited Edition Target release of the Blu-Ray. More on that later.
One of the coolest things that I was able to do with DC was go to the creator Dark Knight Rises screening in LA before it came out in theaters. So... RAD.
Craftsman tool saves the Justice League!
This one is probably the most publicized as the comic was all over the place. At NYCC I did a HUGE signing for it.
Here is a nice write up for it:
A few pictures of the booth where they set up the signing and give-a-ways.

I've never been a big fan of HC previously, but I'm really loving HC TDM and KC in Black Ops 2. First thing, there appears to be next to no lag, even when I'm playing with a full party (my friends and I always find the connection in core terrible in a full party), Secondly, since everything pretty much insta-kills in HC, you don't really put yourself at any sort of disadvantage by using any weapon you feel like. This could also explain why lag is not so apparrent. Even if you do die a BS death, you'll never know because there's no killcams. My friends and I had all but given up on playing in a party and now everyone is logging on daily for a decent length session and having an absolute blast win or lose. This game is definitely better played with a team who care about trying to get the win and HC has made that possible. Consider me converted!
I've always liked HC to a degree, but I play almost all HC when I play BO2 now. Mostly because of the isses with the lag you mentioned. It's not so apparent.
Welcome to the darkside of the force young master jedi.
young Sith Lord I'm sure you mean (though not so sure about the YOUNG part)
welcome sir. HC is the only way to play.

Lip-smacking Chinese flavours make for a delicious light and healthy fish dish. You could subtitute bream fillets, but cut the cooking time by half.
2 x 600g/1lb 5oz whole sea bream, scaled, gutted and gills removed
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp shaoxing rice wine
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 red chillies, sliced
1 orange, juice only
2 limes, zested and segmented
6 kaffir lime leaves
2 spring onions, sliced
1 tsp ground Sichuan peppercorns
1 lemongrass stalk, trimmed and finely chopped
400g/14oz sticky Asian rice, soaked for at least three hour, then rinsed
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 handful coriander cress
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 tsp sesame oil
First prepare the fish. Using scissors, remove all fins and trim the tail, then use a sharp knife to make a few neat diagonal slashes along each side of the fish. Remove the head of the fish if you wish.
Take a bowl and mix together the fish sauce, wine, oyster sauce, half of the ginger, half the chillies, the orange juice, lime zest, and half the garlic chives to make the marinade.
In another bowl, rip up the kaffir lime leaves and add the remaining ginger, garlic chives and the white parts of the spring onion. Mix together then pack the mixture inside the belly cavity of the fish.
Set two large saucepans on the hob with about 5cm/2in water in the bottom of each and bring the water to a simmer. Place a bamboo steamer with a lightly oiled deep plate inside on one pan. Place a colander lined with a muslin cloth on top of the other pan.
Put the fish on the oiled plate and drizzle over the marinade ingredients. Sprinkle over the Sichuan peppercorns and lemongrass then cover with a lid and steam gently for around 20 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, take the soaked, rinsed rice and put it into the muslin-lined colander. Cover with a lid and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the rice is just tender. Halfway through cooking, stir the rice with a fork.
Check the steamers as you cook the rice and fish and top up with a little boiling water as required.
While the fish and rice are steaming, place the sugar in a small pan, cover with about a cup of water and bring to a boil. Pour the syrup over the lime segments and set aside.
Check the fish is just cooked through by sliding a skewer or chopstick into the fleshy part of the back of the fish.
Carefully remove the whole fish and arrange on serving platter. Pour over the cooking juices and scatter over sliced green parts of the spring onions, the sweet and sour lime segments, coriander cress and sesame seeds.
Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and serve the rice alongside.

Investors set aside global tensions, drive market
NEW YORK — Stocks gained on Monday as investors focused on corporate news instead of geopolitical worries.
The stock market was extending a rebound from Friday, when it logged its biggest one-day gain in five months on signs that tensions in Ukraine might be easing. In July, stocks had slumped as tensions between Russia and the West escalated.
"We're hopeful that geopolitical tensions will ramp down," said Jim Russell, a regional investment director at US Bank. "The fundamental economic backdrop remains pretty firm, even though investment sentiment remains less than certain."
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 5.33 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,936.92. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 16.05 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,569.98 percent. The Nasdaq composite gained 30.43 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,401.33.
Energy company Kinder Morgan was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500, rising $3.25, or 9 percent, to $39.37. The company said on Sunday that the group of oil and gas pipeline and storage companies that it controls will combine.
Investors were tracking corporate earnings reports.
Shares of Priceline Group rose $27.72, or 2.2 percent, to $1,309.20 when the company reported second-quarter earnings that topped Wall Street expectations. The online travel company said the summer season got off to a strong start. Shares of rival Expedia gained $1.39, or 1.7 percent, to $83.94.
More than 90 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 index have reported earnings for the second quarter.
Company earnings are expected to grow by 10.1 percent in the period, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. That compares with growth of 4.9 percent in the second quarter last year and growth of 3.4 percent in the first quarter.
Even though stocks have rallied during the past two sessions, investors should get used to the prospect of increased volatility in the market as the Federal Reserve nears the end of its economic stimulus program and gets closer to raising interest rates, said Kristina Hooper, United States investment strategist at Allianz Global Investors.
"Stocks are a lot more vulnerable with markets pricing in a less accommodative Fed," Hooper said.
Government bond prices were little changed. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held at 2.42 percent from Friday, close to its lowest level in a year.
Longer-dated Treasury notes and bonds have surged this year even though the Federal Reserve is winding down its economic stimulus and purchasing fewer bonds. Analysts say that demand for the notes has increased because the yields on the bonds of other developed nations have fallen further. The yield on the 10-year German government bond is 1.06 percent and the yield on France's government bonds with a similar maturity is 1.47 percent.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
The meeting of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights on the new Broadcasting/ Webcasting Treaty has just concluded and there's some welcome news for those of us in the Internet Community.
Webcasting - which was in the current draft of the treaty as an opt-in Annex - is now going to be removed from the main treaty draft, and put into a new proposal of its own, which will be discussed at a separate meeting, and proceed on a parallel slower track.
Efforts to finalize a treaty focusing on broadcasting and cablecasting in the "traditional" sense will continue on a faster track. The Chair will create a new treaty draft by August 1, which will be finalized at one further meeting of the Standing Committee. Then a recommendation will be put to the WIPO General Assembly in September to convene an early 2007 Diplomatic Conference on the "traditional" Broadcasting Treaty. (See below for the Chair's summary of the new two-track process).
The U.N. World Intellectual Property Organization's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights Committee meets this week to discuss the latest redraft of the contentious new Broadcasting Treaty. The treaty would give broadcasters, cablecasters, and potentially webcasters, broad new 50 year rights to control transmissions over the Internet, irrespective of the copyright status of the transmitted material. It also requires countries to provide legal protection for broadcaster technological protection measures that will require Broadcast Flag-like technology mandates.
The first meeting of WIPO's Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a Development Agenda (PCDA) has just ended, amidst a last-minute flurry of activity. The question on everyone's mind is where to from here? The answer is not so clear.
After four days of discussions about interesting proposals from Chile, the Africa Group, Colombia, the United States of America and the 15 countries in the Group of Friends of Development, late yesterday the Chair asked countries to "cluster" the 50-or-so proposals currently on the table under five headings, with the goal of shaping discussions at the next PCDA meeting on June 26-30. That meeting must produce recommendations on a Development Agenda for the WIPO General Assembly.
In the afternoon of Day 2 of the WIPO Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a Development Agenda we finally got down to business: discussing Chile's thoughtful proposal on the Public Domain. Chile had actually put forward three suggestions, but it was the proposal for WIPO to undertake a study of the value of "a rich and accessible public domain" that drew comments from a slew of Member States, the Committee Chair and public interest non-governmental organizations. And rightly so. As Chile's proposal notes, the public domain is essential for ensuring access to knowledge, and provides the foundation for technological innovation.
The first meeting of the newly-created WIPO Provisional Committee for Proposals Related to a Development Agenda (PCDA) started yesterday, and runs until February 24. The PCDA is tasked with reviewing the 50 or so proposals put forward by WIPO member countries and coming up with concrete action proposals for the September 2006 General Assembly. No easy task indeed.
And then there's the politically-charged atmosphere. The meeting began almost three hours late after intense negotiations to elect a Chair that was acceptable to all countries. But when talks finally got underway in the afternoon, and countries presented their new proposals, the real issue at stake here - how to create intellectual property laws that protect human rights like access to knowledge and medicine - took center stage.

Crazy MaryView In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
A staple within the New York City underground scene, this alternative rock band began its formation in the summer of 1996 when Bronx Zoo employees Richard Morbid, drummer Nick Raisz, and guitarist Charles Kibel discovered their kindred musical spirits. The band officially became Crazy Mary two years later with the addition of another zoo employee, bassist George Kerezman. Singer Sophia Jackson (yet another employee of the Bronx Zoo) completed the lineup as Richard Morbid left to pursue other interests. Crazy Mary independently recorded and released their debut, Passion Pit, in 1998, followed by She Comes in Waves in 1999 and the eclectic Astronaut Dubs in early 2000. ~ Roxanne Blanford

Poulsbo Police Officers a Thing of the Past?
Amid increased service call numbers and a quickly expanding city, Poulsbo Mayor Kathryn Quade has called for an inquiry to determine the future of the local police department.
An analysis of the Poulsbo Police Department commissioned by Mayor Kathryn Quade beginning this week will look at a range of options, including contracting the service out to the local Sheriff's Office.
Quade said the study, which consulting firm Miller and Miller will begin Tuesday, is meant to be a holistic look at the needs of the growing small city's police force in a "concrete, analytical, unbiased fashion."
In 2003, all of the city's departments went under the microscope, resulting in consolidation and reorganization of several departments — but the police were never fully studied, she said.
Poulsbo Chief Jeff Doran, who will retire at the end of March, said the study's recommendations will likely look at two "extremes" — keeping the department at its current level of staffing or undergoing the consolidation. He said he expects the actual outcome will be "something in the middle" of those options.
One thing's certain: With various annexations including the Olhava development, which includes retailers Wal-Mart and The Home Depot and several smaller businesses, police work in Poulsbo has picked up considerably. Calls to 911 are up 19 percent in the past year, Doran said, and the department handled about 400 more cases in 2006 than in 2005.
The chief has requested a new sergeant and one new officer in his proposed budget, due to the increase in numbers.
Shawn Ziemann, president of the Poulsbo Police Officer's Association, said a process study "can be a good thing," for the city — but the idea of consolidation into the Sheriff's Office isn't.
"I would really hope that wouldn't be the case," he said. "(Poulsbo residents) are just not going to get the same response out of the Sheriff's Office that you would from your local police department."
"It's not my intent to contract out," Quade said, adding that it would be prudent to consider all options. The consultants will analyze whether the department should consolidate with the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office, decrease or reallocate personnel, or keep the status quo. It will also look at ways to make the department more efficient, such as faster ways to write police reports and how the chain of command operates, Quade said.
She said during Wednesday's City Council meeting that consolidating would be her "least favorite" option.
Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer said it is Quade's and the city's call as to what works best for them.
"Our elected leaders would be remiss if they did not explore all reasonable options," Boyer said. "Contracting for police services is used around the nation successfully. At the same time, I recognize the importance of maintaining a local police department's identity and community involvement while bringing in additional resources."
After the study is completed in mid-March, the City Council will have an opportunity to consider its recommendations.
In the interim, Quade said it's likely the city will hire a temporary police chief from outside the department after Doran retires.
Ziemann said he and his fellow officers had hoped to hire one new officer — a 10-year reservist named Tim Garrity — but the process study puts his possible hiring on hold.
Because Garrity is almost fully qualified to be an officer, hiring him would save the city money in training costs, Ziemann said.
"(Garrity) has donated so much time," Ziemann said. "We could send him to the academy and send him straight out on the street."
The police department has 17 commissioned officers and 20 reserve officers. Chief Doran said he can understand "there's trepidation with the unknown," of the study, but that the department is "going into it with an open mind."
Police 911 calls for service:
2005 — 11,229
2006 — 13,374
Number of cases handled:
2005 — 1,586
2006 — 1,998
Number of total arrests:
2005 — 539
2006 — 831
