Phospho-Histone H3 (Ser10) Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of histone H3 only when phosphorylated at serine 10. The antibody does not cross-react with other phosphorylated histones or with acetylated histones.Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, D. melanogaster, S. cerevisiae Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Xenopus
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser10 of human histone H3. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimal conditions with an F/P ratio of 2-6.
Modulation of chromatin structure plays an important role in the regulation of transcription in eukaryotes. The nucleosome, made up of DNA wound around eight core histone proteins (two each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4), is the primary building block of chromatin (1). The amino-terminal tails of core histones undergo various post-translational modifications, including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination (2-5). These modifications occur in response to various stimuli and have a direct effect on the accessibility of chromatin to transcription factors and, therefore, gene expression (6). In most species, histone H2B is primarily acetylated at Lys5, 12, 15, and 20 (4,7). Histone H3 is primarily acetylated at Lys9, 14, 18, 23, 27, and 56. Acetylation of H3 at Lys9 appears to have a dominant role in histone deposition and chromatin assembly in some organisms (2,3). Phosphorylation at Ser10, Ser28, and Thr11 of histone H3 is tightly correlated with chromosome condensation during both mitosis and meiosis (8-10). Phosphorylation at Thr3 of histone H3 is highly conserved among many species and is catalyzed by the kinase haspin. Immunostaining with phospho-specific antibodies in mammalian cells reveals mitotic phosphorylation at Thr3 of H3 in prophase and its dephosphorylation during anaphase (11).

The prisoner of polygonia
Plus doesn't usually report on primary school maths, but we couldn't resist telling you about a beautiful new maths play for key stage 2 students, which premiered today at the Royal Institution. In the land of Polygonia, where maths is the official language, Rhombus the maths wizard is falsely imprisoned on the orders of Queen Parabola. Data, a ten-year old girl, is the only witness. Before she can help him she must learn to speak the language of maths — and work out why the queen hates anyone who tries to make maths exciting.
Today's two performances, each in front of a full house, proved a great success with audiences made up of students from year 3 through to year 7 and their teachers. With their help, and plenty of laughs, Data managed to solve the puzzles facing her in her mission to save Rhombus, encountering prime numbers, number sequences, symmetry and more mathematical magic along the way. Data and the audience learn that no matter how difficult a maths problem looks, there's usually a trick which makes it simpler, and more fun.
The prisoner of polygonia was written by Phil Lowe and Rob Eastaway, founder of Maths Inspiration. Your next chance to see the show will be as part of the Wales Maths Week 2009 in Cardiff on the 1st and 2nd of October (call 029 20 475 476 for tickets). If you would like to arrange having the play in your area, visit its website.

The Nature Autumn '09 Debate — Science and the financial crisis
The 1980s saw the rise of the "rocket scientists" of finance — as engineers, mathematicians and physicists rejected careers in science and technology and instead opted to work for banks. What part did they play in the financial crisis? And what is the future of science in finance? Join leading experts from science and banking as they debate whether the crisis was the result of bankers and regulators failing to grasp complicated, expert knowledge; and whether scientific knowledge — in particular fields such as complex systems, ecological economics and human behaviour — could help to ensure that economies are better understood and better regulated. The panel includes Tim Johnson, an RCUK Academic Fellow in Financial Mathematics, and author of the recent Plus article What is financial mathematics?
The debate will take place on the 21st of September at Kings Place in London, and you can book tickets, at £9.50 a head, on the Kings Place website.

A Gömböc is a strange thing. It looks like an egg with sharp edges, and when you put it down it starts wriggling and rolling around as if it were alive. Until quite recently, no-one knew whether Gömböcs even existed. Even now, Gábor Domokos, one of their discoverers, reckons that in some sense they barely exists at all. So what are Gömböcs and what makes them special?

since our recent upgrade to NE 4.5.4 we have problems with the german umlauts. They are not shown both in the Web frontend and in Outlook.
Instead you see something like :
Bitte prüfen Sie möglichst umgehend ... and ... Beste GrüÃe.
We had nor such problems before the upgrade. Strangely this does not occur in all mails. It seems only some of text-only mails are affected.
Another strange thing is: in my out of office reply (where I only change dates) suddenly all the umlauts where changed like quopted above.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Allah Malayah Group
For seven years, Saah has been selling belts on Randall Street in downtown Monrovia, Liberia. He buys a wide variety of belts, which is appealing to his customers. He would eventually like to move his business into a shop. Saah will use this loan to purchase more belts.
In the photo that accompanies this profile, Saah is the one holding the sign.
About LEAP:
The Local Enterprise Assistance Program (LEAP) is Liberia's largest and oldest continuously operating microfinance institution, with 13 branches across the country. Founded in 1994, the non-profit organization has survived periods of civil war and severe socio-economic hardship. LEAP seeks to help rebuild post-conflict Liberia through its group and individual loans to micro- and small-scale entrepreneurs, and puts emphasis on lending to women.
Additional Information
Note on LEAP:During routine partner monitoring, Kiva learned that LEAP's delinquency data may be understated due to technical problems with their reporting software. Because this report is key to our analysis of the risk of this partner, delinquency or default rates on loans to this partner may be higher than we expect. For further details, see LEAP's partner page on Kiva.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Young scientists shine at Brookfield Elementary Science Fair
First annual fair drew more than 135 youth projects
More than 200 students at Brookfield Elementary School combined school curricula and their creative energy for the school's first annual Science Fair on Friday.
The young scientists had six weeks to design science projects for the fair, put on by the school's Parent Teacher Organization.
The fair was open to all students, kindergarten through fifth grade, and was started by a parent at Hillside Elementary School five years ago.
When that parent's child graduated, she asked Sara and Tyler Traband to carry on the tradition.
Since the Traband children attend Brookfield Elementary, the Trabands decided to bring the fair to Brookfield Elementary for the first time.
"We had no idea it would turn out like this," Sara said. You can see the children's pride in their work. This was something they did on their own from start to finish and allows them to extend what they are learning in the classroom."
Project boards covered in fancy designs, pictures and the scientific method filled the school's gymnasium, with the young inventors, some dressed in white lab coats, explaining their projects to parents and school staff during an open house.
Neha George, a 7-year-old at the school, proudly displayed her "What do plants drink?" project and explained what she had learned during the experiment.
"I gave all of my plants juice, milk, soda and water," Neha said. "I learned that plants don't like juice or milk. They kind of fell over after a few weeks."
Neha's mother, Rasika George, said she was excited to see her daughter use what she had learned in science class in her project.
"I am so proud of her," Rasika said. "She did it all by herself. She didn't want any help from me."
Kristin Petersen, Neha's first grade teacher, concurred.
"This is a fantastic extension of students using knowledge from class to develop projects," Peterson said. "More than half the students in my class participated."
The projects were critiqued by a panel of ten judges, including Bob Bonadurer, astronomer and director of the Daniel M. Soref planetarium at the Milwaukee Public Museum, and Mark Hansen, superintendent of the Elmbrook School District.
The school's principal, Lynn Raines, dressed up as "Miss Frizzle" from the popular children's science show "The Magic School Bus" and announced the winners.
The winners of the kindergarten through second grade category were Gabriella Rise, 8, and Arisha Sobhani, 7.
The girls teamed up to create a "Spud Lightyear" project, using potatoes to power a small light bulb.
"We wanted to see if the potato could make the light come on," Rise said. "And it did, and we were excited."
The duo won tickets to the Milwaukee County Zoo and said they plan to participate in the fair next year.

Thread: Affiliate Brainstorming
Affiliate Brainstorming
One of the biggest reason for my election to the PPA Board of Directors is my interest in strengthening PPA in this manner: To strengthen the various affiliate levels throughout the country.
We hear, very often of the different affiliates, Local, State and Regional going into either bankruptcy, or near bankruptcy. My interest in creating new ideas to cope with the new era in trade organizations is, I would guess, the thing that tipped the scales with the PPA nominating committee. However, ever since Jack Reznicki called me to say that there was an opening on the board, I first thought I was the highest bidder sorry, my bad...
So, let's see how large this gets. If it gets too large, I will try to break up each of the discussions into individual thread (just thinking about how the Masters threads and the Cafe Guerbois thread become unwieldy).
All ideas are welcome, and we will also discuss about "Sacred Cows" which are usually the culprits of a failing organization. So, lets start with this:
Do you see any "Sacred Cows" in your associations?
A Sacred Cow is anything that your association just can't let go of because of "tradition". Usually, board members are afraid to let go of certain aspects of the association for fear of reprisals from the older, established members. Very often, Sacred Cows are the very thing that keeps an association from moving forward.
So, let's open this up and see what we get out of this. This information will be important as you all now have the eyes and ears of the PPA board of directors!Michael Gan,M.Photog.Cr. CPP,

If your business depends on you, you don't own a business-you have a job. And it's the worst job in the world because you're working for a lunatic... You can't close it when you want to, because if it's closed you don't get paid. You can't leave it when you want to, because if you leave there's nobody there to do the work. You can't sell it when you want to, because who wants to buy a job?http://www.meritageonmain.blogspot.com

Sent this to our 2009 prez ...
Hi Michael;
I sent this to our 2009 PPAofPa prez, Bob Demmler. I don't know how the rest of the year will go but we got a bigger turnout for the meeting we just had, on Sunday and Monday, than anticipated. And, I expect a big turnout for the April convention with Keith & Holly Howe speaking. It will remain to be seen how the June & October meetings go.
David Trust and Al Hopper were at the PPANE convention a couple years ago talking about this issue. After hearing their talk, I had our NH Board do several brain storming sessions on SWOT. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Weaknesses) We also talked about the SC's in our organization. It was definitely worth the time investment.Don

Sacred Cows Number 1: Aspiring/apprentice memberships
Yes, yes, the argument can go on and on about this: Should our associations be truly a professional organization, in-between, or a "camera club"?
In many associations, aspiring members are the financial "life's blood". But with the high number of aspiring members in an association, at what cost would this be to the Masters and the more advanced members of the association? Certainly, if you have renewals of your older, more experienced members, how many are showing up to the meetings to offer guidance to those aspiring members?
Idea #1: Make the core vision of your associations focused on "Photographic Excellence". That is, surround your key programming around your Master Photographers so that they have a place to come and learn something. Fund these programs (it will take a big chunk of your budget) with "Night Schools" where your beginners can participate in various themed weekly "classes" of the basics. The night schools are generally taught by the active members who receive a small $100 fee for their time (most donate it back to the association).
A few of the associations in California do this with much success. The Northern California group raised enough money to have the following speakers come in one year: Lizbeth Guerina, Fuzzy Duenkle, Kevin Kubota and Jim Gardner. Not bad for an association of 90 members. Programming like these attracts the Master Photographers (as well as a large audience) and also helps the judging pool for print competition at the end of the meeting! What this does is help foster photographic excellence to the newer members by having the presence of the Masters!
Idea #2: Make it harder to get into the association for aspiring members. This is not an exclusivity issue, but rather, a controlled issue for the active members to be able to enjoy their membership. Let me clarify this. If you have too many aspiring members, the Masters get inundated with requests. the Masters are charged with teaching others, but there has to be a limit, otherwise the Masters start to burn out and stop attending the meetings, thus the ball starts to roll for scaricity of experienced members.
Do accept aspiring members with open arms, it is good for our profession as a whole, but limit the numbers that you will allow each year. I would recommend that your aspiring members be no more than 20% of your total membership (so 100 members, 20 would be aspiring). Make your aspiring member for a period of one year (two years at the most) and have their transference to active membership based on their fiscal year that they joined. This way, you can have a shorter waiting list of aspirings to get in at various times of the year.
Idea #3: Make your aspirings work for their active status. Whenever I mention this, it's almost like a light bulb turns on for most board of directors I speak to! Aspiring members have much more to gain with membership than active members. Since their learning curve is so steep, they are usually a sponge (not deroggatory). Make them pay for the priviledge of learning from the pros. Citing Northern California as an example, again, they increased the dues for aspirings. While the actives are paying $125 a year, the aspirings pay $200.
With that comes a comprehensive program that they must complete in which their sponsor must make sure they follow: Must attend the "Business 101" night school, must be involved in at least three committees in the association, must submit images for review at the end of their year for qualification as an active member, must attend 2 month's night schools (at their cost), must produce copies of State and federal business/sales tax license (and local if applicable).
I can't tell you how involved the active members who went through this program as aspirings are. Those who don't make the grade will at least have the understanding of what it takes to be working pro, so the association knows that "at least they've tried" to steer photographers in the right direction.
Starting professional excellence and photographic excellence is the way to go in the modern association. In the "old days", most pros had at least basic fundamentals taught to them in JC's, but with the advent of the auto everything, that has gone by the wayside. Now, it has been the increasing pressure of the associations to educate the masses, but at what expense to your core membership? Consider these ideas to strengthen your association. Not dilute it.
Next up: Now that your have your aspiring membership under contorl, how about certification?Michael Gan,M.Photog.Cr. CPP,

Here in Pa.
Hi Michael;
Here in Pa. we do have an aspiring category. They do not qualify for all perks as firm members. When I joined the PPAofPa in 1978 there was only firm membership. When I served on the Board of Governors, past PPA President Ann Monteith & I pushed and got the aspiring category instituted. It was set up to allow those part time to make a transition to full time over several years.
I want to add a thought. I am seeing a number of our state members working part time somewhere else to make ends meet. A friend is an excellent photo retoucher and now works at Kohls department store and does retouching part time. I think this will keep happening more and more. At our annual members meeting, at the April convention, I plan on making a motion to allow aspiring members to enter print competition which they can't do now.

I can shed some light on this...
Too many organizations try to go all out on their conventions and seminars. Too many speakers to pay for - I hate dual track programming. Expensive banquets and meals to pay for. Too expensive a resort to host the convention. Too many at the top getting free lodging and registrations. Publications that cost too much to produce. An expensive website to better serve its members. Computers, projectors and sound systems that always need updating. Unnecessary monthly meetings.
Here in SD, we run a very frugal organization. We have very few board meetings, but we have lots of phone calls going back and forth to make it all work. We've managed to accumulate a few dollars in reserve. We make our events happen without any infighting between our board members. We are here to serve.
The biggest reason for financial failure in affiliates is egos that are too big.

Open for suggestions
Our Wisconsin Affiliate Convention is being held this weekend. Our membership numbers are down as well as our convention registrations. We are attributing this mainly to the economy. Also, many national conventions are now being held in Jan & Feb, which squeezes the Education budget of many studios. With this being said, We are looking for ideas to grow our association despite these obstacles. I understand that atleast one affiliate, I think it is Texas, includes convention registration into their membership dues with great success. I would appreciate anyone out there with first hand knowledge about this idea, or other suggestions to post a rely.
Thank you,
Judy Strukel
Here in Pa.
Hi Judy;
The PPAofPa annual studio dues are $210.00. For that we get to attend a 2 day meeting in February, a 3 day convention in April, a 2 day meeting in June, and a 2 day meeting in October. All speakers are included in the dues.
California is testing out the convention as a member benefit this year, so we'll see what the increase in attendance (and increase of membership) will be. There are two conferences this year. Western States in Pasadena in March, and the ProPhoto Expo (a new feature) in South San Francisco in August.
We've been trying to get more people to attend the convention side of the conference. The trade show attracts about 3500 people each year, but the turnout for the programming has been on the low side. There are around 500 PP California members, so we hope most of them will show up this year!Michael Gan,M.Photog.Cr. CPP,

Ok, my thought is that we should encourage as many aspiring members as possible and certainly make them work for an active membership. I'm even wondering if you could implement yet another membership level just for those who wish to invest in education. I mean, not every aspiring member is willing to pay for their education. Having another membership level could help separate the hobbyist from those who truly wish to become professionals.
Sooooo, let's say there is an "aspiring professional" level that guarantees you invitations to participate in various educational events throughout the year while a more general "aspiring" level would only include you in general events such as conventions and not the night classes that Michael suggested. I would also think that the "aspiring professional" level might get you an opportunity to assist with print competitions and volunteer behind the scenes for other events which could help you earn an active membership. Of course this new membership level would have an additional cost.
I'm sure you can tell I don't have this all worked out in my head, but you see the direction I'm headed in... or at least I hope you do...
I was also wondering if we could create one of two OPEN events per year where non-members could participate for a set fee... We could use such an event as an open call of sorts to help build membership while creating additional revenue at the same time. It would be pretty easy to advertise through local camera dealers.CK McDaniel, Cr Photog., CPP

DINWIDDIE, Va. (WUSA9) -- Virginia State Police mourn the death of a 35-year veteran of the Department, Master Trooper Junius Walker, who died in the line-of-duty on Thursday.
According to Police, Master Trooper Walker pulled up next to a black sedan that was stopped on the right shoulder of the southbound lanes of I-85 to check status of driver when shots were fired from the sedan at the officer.
Police say after Master Trooper Walker was shot, his patrol car ran off the road into the woods approximately 30 feet from the interstate.
A 911 call was placed by a nearby motorist, and troopers arrived on the scene soon after as they were three miles north of the incident assisting with a VDOT work zone, police say.
Police say when Virginia State Police arrived to the scene, one of the two troopers witnessed a man who they identified as Russell E. Brown, 28, of Chesterfield, Va., standing outside Master Trooper Walker's car with a gun.
Police and Brown exchanged gunfire before Brown fled on foot into the woods, and was later found a half mile away hiding at a local business, police say.
According to Police, the heat from Master Trooper Walker's engine sparked a fire in the woods, but not before the officer's pulled Master Trooper Walker out of the patrol car.
Police say Master Trooper Walker suffered from multiple gun shot wounds and died at the scene.
According to police, Russell E. Brown has been charged with one count of capital murder of a police officer, one count of
attempted capital murder of a police officer, and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Brown, is currently being held without bond at the Meherrin River Regional Jail in Alberta, Va., police say.
Police say Master Trooper Walker is survived by his wife and two adult daughters.

Warehouse and DC Management: Mobility has arrived
February 01, 2012
For a number of years now, mobile computing devices have been electronically capturing data on assets and resources and uploading them to host systems over wireless networks. But thanks to the raging successes of smartphones and tablets, as well as the rise of much improved wireless networks, mobility solutions for logistics management are reaching new levels of ubiquity.
"You're not going to see any large warehouse or distribution center today operating without these types of technologies," says David Krebs, vice president of mobile and wireless practice for VDC Research, a market research and consulting firm. "It's too important and the benefits are too great for an organization not to make these investments."
A survey of mobility end-users recently conducted by VDC highlights the top three benefits achieved by today's enterprise mobility solutions: (1) improved real-time decision making; (2) increased mobile worker productivity; and (3) improved inventory accuracy.
"Logistics professionals want access to accurate information and data, and they want to be able to proactively act upon it," says Stubbs. "The faster you get information that is actionable, the quicker you move a step ahead of your competition."
Mike Maris, senior director for transportation, distribution, and logistics for Motorola Solutions points out that by scanning bar codes, paper is eliminated. "It also eliminates the errors and delays associated with a paper-based operation," adds Maris. "This improves accuracy, adds efficiency, and improves the speed of how you do business."
With these benefits in mind, let's explore current trends in mobile technologies and how today's vendors and solution providers are helping logistics professionals put them to work inside the nation's warehouses and DCs. Then let's examine how a Canadian distributor of building and hardware materials made its real-life transition to mobility solutions, causing pick-rate accuracies to skyrocket while giving its customers real-time visibility into the status of their orders.
Trends in mobility
Mobile technologies have been rapidly evolving over the past few years. Rugged mobile computing devices—which, according to VDC, account for 88 percent of total mobile hardware used in the DC—are getting lighter and more ergonomic with better touch-screen user interfaces.
One clear trend has been the convergence within one device of multiple data capture technologies from bar code scanning to voice input to RFID. Workers have been going to multi-modal scanning bar codes for receiving while using voice for picking and RFID for loading completed pallets onto trucks.
Today's devices are also able to connect and automatically switch to multiple network infrastructures from wireless local area networks (such as Wi-Fi) for operations within the DC, then switch over to wireless wide area networks (such as 3G, 4G/LTE) for operations beyond the DC into a retailer's stores—without missing a beat. Some are equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for wireless printing and advanced GPS capabilities.
In response to the iPad, Motorola's even got a new rugged, industrial grade tablet—the ET1 Enterprise—a tablet so advanced it realizes when it's being dropped (via built-in sensors), according to Motorola's Maris. "It actually shuts down in nanoseconds to protect itself," he says. Although geared toward more enterprise applications, he can see the ETI being used on receiving docks because it's equipped with a camera that can capture and send images of the condition of inbound merchandise to trading partners in real-time mode.
Finally, emerging supply chain execution software providers continue to integrate manufacturing, warehouse management systems (WMS), and transportation management systems (TMS). They're now leveraging Cloud technology as a common collection area for data shared among trading partners. "It's taking information and putting it into a readable format that the next partner can use," explains Maris. This integration and ability to easily share real-time information are allowing enterprises to quickly address problems as soon as they arise, seamlessly collaborate with trading partners, and basically revolutionize supply chain management.

I am suire this has to be somewhere, i am using Ubuntu x64, the GUI doesn't seem to show in the domain area.
I have seen this from wiki http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Sending_...external_relay however in v8 i cant add any authentication AND i cant find how to do this for each domain i have, looks like a global setting for the whole server!

NEW YORK (AP) -- A published report says Apple may introduce a cheaper iPhone in an effort to reclaim some of the sales that the company has been losing to less expensive handsets running on Google's Android software.
Wednesday's story in The Wall Street Journal speculates that Apple could lower the iPhone's price by equipping the device with an exterior that costs less the aluminum housing on current models.
The cheaper iPhone could come out as early as this year, or the idea could be scrapped, as has previously happened. The Journal cites unnamed people briefed on the matter.
Apple Inc., which is based in Cupertino, Calif., declined to comment.
Prices for the latest iPhones without a wireless contract currently start at $649. Apple, though, already sells older models at discounts.

lindamct wrote:Starting my Ins and Outs tomorrow
After reading these comments, I feel reassured that I can start the 'outside hardening up' process now too. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to take all plants out of my mini-greenhouse and give them exposure for a short duration to the warm outside air. Can anybody suggest how long to leave them out initially? They'll have to go onto my balcony, which has eastern exposure - direct sun until noon, then shaded but still warm from about 1pm through until evening. I'm assuming that it's necessary to avoid the direct sunlight until they've hardened up somewhat... so I should put them out in the afternoon at first and avoid the direct am sun 'burning' them? Would an hour of exposure in the afternoon be about right for the first few days or week? or is longer ok?

If you've had them under lights they'll adapt quite quickly. Put them out in the afternoon for the first few days, and if they react well to that, start putting them out in the morning. Try to work it so you are home in the morning the first time you have them out in full light. I find the earlier I start doing this in spring, the better they adapt. I think it is because they are not stressed by the heat as well as the light. My general rule is 10C for days, 5C for night. 10C is a bit lower than the growing temperature for many plants, but the objective is to get them used to being outside.

Yes, put them in the shade for the first few days and then if they adapt well start giving them some sun. I've been taking my Dats in and out for about 2 weeks and one silly Dat would always droop. The others were fine but one just didn't like it outdoors. It has finally stopped drooping and I think they might all be ready for an overnight as soon as the temps stay above 6 or 7C.

The Iowa Congressman predicts the nation's republicans will make the repeal of the health care act as their number one issue.

King says today's supreme court decision is the most important decision to come from the land's highest court since the controversial Roe vs. Wade abortion ruling.
Affordable Health Care Act May Benefit Rural Hospitals
(Le Mars) -- The U-S Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the controversial Affordable Health Care Act, sometimes nicknamed Obamacare. But what does it mean for a rural community hospital like Floyd Valley? Mike Donlin serves as the Floyd Valley Hospital administrator and he says despite the fact the health care law is split nearly fifty-fifty on those who favor and those who oppose the law, there are a number of provisions that benefit rural hospitals.
Listen here
Donlin says he will closely monitor the buracracies and the actions of the governing agencies to see how much "watering down" of the bill may occur, or if they keep the provisions strong between now and when the health care act begins in 2014. Some people have argued that doctors and other health care officials may be more selective in the patients that they see due to some of the perceived restrictive rules of the Affordable Health Care Act. Donlin doesn't believe that will happen, at least not in Le Mars and not at Floyd Valley Hospital.

Hospital Systems Combine to One Health Network
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Four major hospital systems in Iowa say they are joining together in a new alliance aimed at improving the quality of care while cutting costs.
University of Iowa Health Care, Genesis Health System, Mercy Health Network and Mercy-Cedar Rapids announced the alliance during news conferences around the state on Thursday.
Hospital leaders say the new University of Iowa Health Alliance will include more than 50 hospitals and 160 clinics. The new group will be a venue for sharing costs such as expensive information
technology systems, coordinating patient care and using data to track outcomes and best practices.
They say the group was planned before the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday upholding President Barack Obama's health care law, and came in response to market pressures to cut costs and improve outcomes.
Branstad Orders Flags To Fly At Half Staff
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Governor Terry Branstad has ordered flags lowered in Iowa today through Monday to honor a Vietnam War airman whose plane was shot down nearly 50 years ago. Dennis Eilers
of Tipton and his crew were missing in action after their plane went down in 1965, and officials identified the crash site this past April. A memorial service for Eilers is tomorrow in Tipton.
Iowa Public Information Board Selected
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Nine people have been named to Iowa's new Public Information Board. The board will oversee enforcement of Iowa's open meetings and records laws, investigate alleged
violations and take claims to court if necessary. Gov. Terry Branstad's office says the nine he's selected are Robert Andeweg, of Urbandale; Tony Gaugan, of West Des Moines; Jo Martin, of Spirit Lake; Andy McKean, of Anamosa; Gary Mohr, of Bettendorf; Bill Monroe, of Johnston; Kathleen Richardson, of Des Moines; Suzan Stewart, of Sioux City; and Peggy Weitl, of Carroll.

The results are in…now what?
November 03, 2010
While surfing through the cable news channels on Election Night, it became pretty clear that Congress would be turning from a Democratic-led entity to a divided one, with Democrats retaining a slim margin in the Senate and Republicans making a strong showing in the House to take control.
Given the possibly unprecedented level of political acrimony in recent years, it is no surprise that things went the way they did last night. So, the big question now becomes, what happens now?
That is hard to answer at this point, considering that these changes in office took place literally mere hours ago. But it is never too early to speculate, right?
From a freight transportation, supply chain and logistics perspective, there are myriad things that are on the table that this election could potentially impact. But as Newsroom Notes has observed before, many of these things don't necessarily have that "wow factor" that other political items do.
Case in point, how many Americans are wondering about the future of surface transportation re-authorization or the railroad re-regulation? Chances are, not a ton outside of people like you and I. Sadly, these things are not likely to gain much political traction heading into a lame-duck Congressional session.
But that does not mean that there are not things which will impact supply chain, logistics, and freight transportation operations in light of the election. On the contrary, there are several things we should all be keeping an eye on: Hours-of-Service; Cap and Trade (i.e. an energy bill); extending or not extending the Bush tax cuts; and the Employee Free Choice Act i.e. Card Check, among others.
Regardless of what comes next for these issues, one thing is clear: politicians can and must find a way to co-exist. Without that, all we have to look forward to is more political posturing, stalemates, and genuine disenchantment all around.
A morning show I saw earlier today, compared the mid-term elections to "hitting the reset button" for the political landscape, and I think that description is appropriate. Now is an opportune time for lawmakers to rise above the rhetoric and in-fighting, put the differences aside and make something happen.
Am I reaching on this? Perhaps, in the short-term until the dust settles on the election. But being optimistic does not hurt. It figures to be an interesting ride. Let's hang on and hope for the best.

Amway, MSU partner to send students to China
ADA, Mich. -- Direct-selling giant Amway and Michigan State University are partnering to provide Michigan college students with the opportunity to study in China through the "Amway China 100,000 Strong Scholarship."
The three-year program will be administered by Michigan State University's International Studies and Programs, Office of Study Abroad. Of the scholarships, 15 will be awarded to MSU students, with the other 15 to be awarded to students of other accredited four- and two-year West Michigan colleges: Grand Valley State University, Aquinas College, Calvin College, Cornerstone University, Davenport University, Kuyper College and Grand Rapids Community College.
Dana Boals, vice president for global for Amway Brand, said increasing young people's educational opportunities is key for the company.
"We're very excited to provide West Michigan students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and gain valuable exposure and experience," she said. "China is a key international partner, and enabling West Michigan students to live and study abroad there will improve our region's talent pool."
Boals added that MSU's experience with study abroad programs was important when choosing a partner for the initiative.
MSU has ranked No. 1 among public institutions for study abroad participation for six years, according to the Open Doors report by the Institute of International Education. The university offers more than 270 programs in more than 60 countries.
"This grant will make opportunities to study in China more accessible to students who may not have otherwise considered a study abroad program," said Brett Berquist, executive director of the Office of Study Abroad. "Through the richness and diversity found within Chinese cultures, our students will learn how cultural traditions, history and language affect global business practices within the United States and Michigan."
Application requirements will include full-time college enrollment, demonstrated financial need and student essays outlining their interest in the scholarship.
The partnership resulted after Amway committed earlier this year to join the U.S. State Department's "100,000 Strong Initiative." The initiative, announced in 2009, seeks to significantly increase the number of students traveling to China and increase investments in the future of U.S.-China relations.

(Sports Network) - Portland Trail Blazers rookie point guard Damian Lillard
has exceeded expectations in his inaugural NBA season.
Lillard and the Blazers are back in action Monday against the Charlotte
Bobcats in the continuation of a seven-game eastern road trip. Lillard helped
Portland end a four-game losing streak to start the trek with 24 points and 11
assists in Saturday's 118-117 double-overtime win at Cleveland.
The sixth overall pick in the NBA Draft leads all rookies in scoring (18.8
ppg), field goals (111), free throws (54), assists (6.2 apg), steals (1.35
spg) and minutes (37.3 mpg), and leads all first-year players with 10 games of
20-plus points. According to Portland's team notes, Lillard, Derrick Rose and
Allen Iverson are the only players to record 300 points and 100 assists in
their first 17 career games.
Nicolas Batum deserves some credit in the win over the Cavaliers, burying the
go-ahead 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left in double overtime. Lillard dished
the ball to an open Batum, who sank the 3-pointer in front of the Cleveland
bench and finished with 22 points. LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and nine
rebounds for the Blazers, who improved to 3-0 in overtime games this season.
"It was much needed, that's an understatement," Blazers head coach Terry
Stotts said of the victory.
Portland is 3-7 outside of the Rose City and will close out the road swing
Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.
The Bobcats already have as many wins (7) as they had a season ago and will
continue a three-game homestand Monday night.
Charlotte started the residency with a 104-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers
and Ben Gordon came off the bench to score 19 points. Jeff Taylor scored 16
points, Bismack Biyombo added 14 and Kemba Walker posted 13 points and nine
assists for the Bobcats, losers in three straight and four of five games.
"Any time you trade baskets with a good team, quality team like that, it's
going to bite you in the butt," Gordon admitted. "We didn't do a good job of
getting stops when we needed, getting key rebounds when we needed."
Gordon is averaging 18.3 points on .500 shooting in his last four games. He is
15-of-24 from 3-point territory in that time.
The Bobcats are in the midst of playing six of seven games at home and have
5-4 mark as the host. They will wrap up the homestand Wednesday versus New
York, before hitting the road to Milwaukee on Friday.
If Charlotte can make it close toward the end of Monday's game, it will have a
good chance to come out on top as evidenced by a 6-1 mark in games decided by
four points or less. Last season, the Bobcats were 3-10 in games decided by
a margin of four or fewer points.
Taylor has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games, averaging
11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 assists in that span. Walker has
scored 10 or more points in 14 of 15 games this season.
Charlotte lost its only matchup with Portland a season ago, dropping a 112-68
decision at the Rose Garden. The Blazers have won five of the last six
contests in this series.

May 30, 2016
Mississippi's longest-serving current member of Congress faces two challengers Nov. 6. Democrat Bennie Thompson of Bolton has held the 2nd District seat since 1993.
He faces the same Republican he defeated two years ago, Bill Marcy of Vicksburg. Also running this year is independent Cobby Mondale Williams of Canton.
The 2nd District includes most of Jackson and stretches through the Delta and 200 miles along the Mississippi River, from Tunica County in the north to Jefferson County in the south.
The district has three new counties this year: Panola, Yalobusha and Grenada. It also has all of Leake County instead of a portion.
Thompson has the most campaign cash. Marcy and Williams say Thompson has done too little to help one of the poorest congressional district in the nation.

Congrats to you and your son. Looks like you guys had a great season.
Had a great year hunting elk. Archery season was a blast and got close to some great bulls. Finally took this little guy.
My son Ethyn and I went on a tough 2+ mile hike to get on some cows. If ethyn wouldnt have been so excited I wouldn't have let him drop the hammer on this cow. I didnt have it in me to say no..haha. Made the pack out a little less painful knowing that I made his day.
Recently I was told that I need to focus on gratitude and be positive. So in closing, I'm very grateful to have the god given ability to be healthy enough to enjoy my passions (hunting/fishing). I'm also grateful for the people who have been and are in my life.
Congrats to you and your son. Looks like you guys had a great season.
Congrats to both of you.
Excellent season in my book.
Awesome you and your son can spend that time together. You both will always remember it..
Congrats to both of you guys! And what happened to "the longest I've packed out an elk is a half mile" talk? I guess that's no longer true. And as to what you said about being grateful, I wish everyone would be more appreciative and thankful with what they've got. I'm also very thankful for everything and everyone that I have in my life.
Hey congrats to the both of you, nicely done Sir! You tell Ethyn to keep up the good work & we'll look forward to many more successful hunts in the future!
Thx everyone. Yes, NDhunter it was a tough pack. They cant all be easy i guess..lol
Very Very nice. Congrats. I can't wait until my little one is old enough to put together some tougher hunts. It's been just the east stuff. Which doesn't really equal quality animal... But does count for quality time. An investment I guess is how I look at it.
sounds like a very good year. i know quite a few guys and gals that went home empty handed this year.
I Love the smell of Elk in the mornin
The arrow is everything

This is indeed an ambitious project. Since you have already been lurking I would suggest you look around through the Finished Maps as well as Challenge Archives and see if maybe there is an existing map that 'catches your eye'.
You can then contact the author (FYI...you need at least 5 posts before you can use the private messaging feature) and see if they'll either (1) Allow you to use their previously existing map or (2) Be interested in creating a new one for you.
There are several folks here who regularly take on commissions, both paid & non (including myself) so I'm sure you'll find someone before to long to give you a hand.
You may even want to create a thread in the Map Request forum (be sure to follow the basic guidelines).

Parameterized Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Geometry
Application ID: 12685
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are commonly used in oil refineries and other large chemical processes. In this model, two separated fluids at different temperatures flow through the heat exchanger, one through the tubes (tube side) and the other through the shell around the tubes (shell side). Several design parameters and operating conditions influence the optimal performance of a shell and tube heat exchanger. This model shows the basic principles of setting up a heat exchanger model. It can serve as a starting point for more sophisticated applications involving parameter studies or additional effects like corrosion, thermal stress, and vibration.

WHEELING - With powerful Weir paying a trip to Holloway Field on Thursday afternoon, Linsly's boys' soccer team and Coach Eric Fries knew that the Cadets were going to have to be at the top of their game.
With precision passing, dominant ball control, and the inspiration of a stricken teammate in their hearts and on their minds, that is exactly what they did.
Junior Tim Chung blasted a 30-yard rocket into the back corner of the net 17 minutes into the game for the only goal the hosts needed and Linsly controlled play for much of the 40-minute contest in gaining a 3-1 victory against the Red Riders on Senior Night.
The game, as the season has been, was played in honor of senior Nikhil Dharawat who has been diagnosed with lymphoma. While Nikhil could not attend the contest, where a collection was taken and will be donated in his name, his father was there on his behalf to thank everyone.
Weir coach Joe Pepe also got his team into the spirit of things as the Red Rider players wore black wrist bands with Nikhil's number 14 on them.
"It's a game, but this is all about the kids," Pepe said about the well-received gesture.
As for the game itself, Linsly used an array of passes, kicks and moves, constantly leaving their guests lunging, sliding and kicking at balls that weren't there.
Chung's blast was picture-perfect, flying past diving Red Riders' keeper Matt Tenaglio and into the back corner of the net for a 1-0 lead.
With just over eight minutes to play in the opening half, senior Jamaal Ebanks caught up to a nice lead pass and buried it into the net from 10 yards away for a 2-0 lead at the break.
A little extra insurance came 15 minutes into the second half on sophomore Mason George's putback that upped the count to 3-0.
Weir (14-3-2) got its only goal of the contest with 13 minutes to play on a Kenny Muhart shot from deep in the box.
"We have really been hitting our stride recently," Fries said. "The guys were pretty upset about not making the OVAC Cup Tournament because we really feel like we are one of the best teams in the Ohio Valley.
"This was just absolutely wonderful and fantastic soccer and it is just so fun to watch. We did an outstanding job possessing the ball and moving around, and we finished well also.
"The kids just continue to battle. They were also very inspired by Nikhil, who couldn't be here, but who we have been playing for all season long. It was very nice that Dr. Dharawat (Nikhil's father) was able to be here."
For Pepe, it was something that he has seen in the past, but that has also been a wake-up call to his team.
"Sometimes you have to take two steps back before getting to where you want to go," Pepe said. "The last time we lost to Linsly it put us back on track and we preceded to finish second in the state. Hopefully we can get to that place again.
"We just didn't play our game (Thursday). They passed the ball very well and had great time of possession, and we are normally the team that does that. We did it against Wheeling Park and University and most of the other teams we beat.
"This team has a lot of character, we just didn't show it (Thursday), but we will get back to work and get ready for the tournament."
