Travelers Take Fourth Place in Tourney Action
Immediately following the completion of Mid Suburban Baseball League play, the 11-year-old (full-time) Elk Grove Travelers jumped right into tournament action.
In the first round of the MSBL Tournament the Travelers were locked in a 3-3 battle through 3 innings before the Schaumburg Storm put a run across in the bottom of the fourth. That was the Storm's final run as the Travelers scored 6 unanswered runs to win the game 9-4.
The hitting stars were Matt Collins (HR, 2 singles, walk, 3 RBIs), Austin Wright (2 doubles, walk, 2 RBIs), Billy Montemayor (1B, RBI) and Austin Henke (1B, 2 walks). The pitching was handled by Austin Wright and Jay Laing.
In game two against Roselle, the Travelers quickly jumped out to a 9-2 lead. Behind the pitching of Ricky Szkorla and Brad Allen, the team hung on for a 13-5 victory. The offensive stars were Austin Wright (2 doubles, 1B, 3 RBIs), Jay Laing (2 doubles, 1B, RBI), Ricky Szkorla (1B, walk, 2 RBIs), Billy Montemayor (2B, RBI), Brad Allen (1B, RBI), Matt Collins (2 singles), Donny Carfagnini (2 singles) and Austin Henke (1B).
A victory against Elmhurst in the final game of the first round would assure the Travelers of advancing to the championship round. Outstanding pitching performances by Billy Montemayor and Austin Henke and timely hitting from Austin Wright (HR, 2 RBIs), Jay Laing 1B, RBI) and Matt Collins (1B) enabled the Travelers to win 3-2. …

"God Loves Uganda" (Variance) - Criticwire: B+; Metacritic: 77; Festivals include: Sundance 2013
$7,300 in 1 theater; PSA: $7,300
Opening at a theater usually not known for specialized limited releases (the Clearview in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood), this is a decent gross for a tough documentary about evangelical Christians joining with local officials to persecute gays in Uganda.
What comes next: Los Angeles this Friday is next, with a slow roll out planned over the next few weeks.
"Broadway Idiot" (FilmBuff) - Metacritic: 48; Festivals include: South by Southwest 2013
$6,500 in 1 theater; PSA: $6,500
Also on a single NY screen, this doc about Green Day singer Billy Joe Armstrong producing a Broadway musical based on the group's hit album "American Idiot" did similarly OK business.
What comes next: Expansion to other cities next week as well as VOD in the near future.
"As I Lay Dying" (Millennium) - Metacritic: 50; Festivals include: Cannes 2013
$6,000 in 1 theater; PSA: $6,000
Opening unusually at AMC's Empire complex on 42nd St. in Manhattan, this is a less impressive gross based on its pedigree (director/star James Franco, from William Faulkner's novel). The Cannes-launched film needed stronger reviews.
What comes next: This looks like it has limited specialized appeal.
Several other more limited release films hovered just under the top 10 (in a week where any significant performance should have been able to propel them with the low level grosses outside the top three films). Best-grossing was "Enough Said" (Fox Searchlight) in 11th place with $1,935,000 in 606 theaters (+169). The gross was down almost 12% despite the theater increase, with the PSA of $3,193 down just under 40%. At the same point of its run, "The Way, Way Back" jumped to 886 theaters (it ultimately reached 1,001) showing broader strength. "Enough" though has passed the $8 million mark, making it the best of the fall initially limited specialized openings so far.
Lionsgate's two Mexican comedies also placed high. "Pulling Strings" (#12, $1.150,000 in 428 theaters, +41) took a 53% drop even with new runs, now totaling over $4.1 million). The much bigger "Instructions Not Included" took in another $1 million, still at 711 theaters, now up to $42,675,000.
Among films that opened last week, there was not a lot of action. Roadside Attraction's Christian-market "Grace Unplugged" added $524,000 in 502 theaters for a minimal PSA, total now $1,749,000. Exclusive's "Parkland" collapsed, only taking in $88,000 in 133 theaters (it lost nearly half of its count from last week), now up to $524,000. Ketchup Entertainment's "Linsanity" added 16 theaters (+7) to do $51,500, a more respectable PSA of $3,219. "A.C.O.D." from Film Arcade did $36,100 in 18 (+15) for a PSA just over $2,000.
Other recent openers taking in over $50,000 for the weekend include "Metallica Through the Never" (Picturehouse) - $204,000 in 289 theaters (-300), total $3,168,000; Radius/Weinstein's doc "Inequality for All" - $153,000 in 80 (+39), now $558,000; "Generation Iron" (Vladar), $75,000 in 34 (-36), total $631,400. Sony Pictures Classic's "Wadjda" is holding up best among this group, with another $109,000 in 47 theaters (+3), with its gross down only slightly for a total of $619,000. Best of the year so far "Blue Jasmine" (excluding "Instructions Not Included) from SPC is wrapping up its run, another $221,000 in 190, now at $31,663,000 total.

Many of you already know who you will be voting for, many others are still undecided.
If you are firmly in either the Obama or McCain camp then I have a job for you. Convince the undecided voters why your candidate should be President of the United States.
What specifically do you like about either Mccain or Obama? What about their economic plan, immigration ideas, stance on the war in Iraq or anything else has convinced you to vote for them? Be specific. Why exactly are you voting for Mccain or Obama?
The one thing I want to discourage is comments about why people shouldn't vote for a candidate. We always have plenty of reasons why we don't want to vote for someone. That's not what this blog is about. This is about finding out what you like about either McCain or Obama.

"Reunion Island - France's Paradise" Top 5 Page for this destination Reunion by mikelisaanna
Reunion Travel Guide: 142 reviews and 288 photos
Reunion Island is a volcanic island located a few hundred kilometers east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It is one of the most spectacular places on earth, with an active volcano on its southern end, and three dramatic 1000-meter deep circular canyons (called cirques) in its middle. The three cirques (the Cirque de Mafate, Cirque de Salazie, and Cirque de Cilaos) have been eroded over the millenia into amazing landscapes with sharp ridges and winding canyons unlike anything else that we have ever seen.
While its interior is extremely rugged, the outer edge of Reunion is full of small towns and beaches. As a result, it combines the best of both worlds. It has great scenery for driving and hiking, while also having good beaches to relax on at the end of the day.
We stayed in St. Gilles-les-Bains, a beach resort town on the western coast. It was a great location, because it was convenient to some of the most scenic drives on the island, including the roads to Le Maido and Cilaos. The area also had some good restaurants, which served a mixture of French and creole cooking.
Reunion's people were friendly. They are a mixture of French, African, and Indian, which makes for some interesting food and culture. The official language of the island is French, although the locals also speak a patois that we could not understand.
Reunion is officially a part of France, similar to the way Hawaii is part of the US, even though it is thousands of miles away in an ocean. Over 95% of the tourists to Reunion are French, with most of the rest being from French speaking countries such as Belgium. In the entire week that we were there, we only met one other family that were not native French speakers (they were from Spain). Our high school and university French got quite a workout, as many people on Reunion do not speak any English.
We had a great time visiting Reunion and definitely want to go back and see more of it.
- Pros:Amazing scenery, plenty of beaches, good food
- Cons:You need to be able to speak French
- In a nutshell:One of the most spectacular places in the world

Two Problems in the History of Indian Buddhism
The Layman/Monk Distinction and the Doctrines of the Transference of Merit
IN AN AREA like Indian Buddhist doctrinal history, where there is constant discussion but little proof, it might sometimes be useful if we try to draw up lists of what we actually know. Such lists might be even more useful if we distinguish clearly, in so far as this is possible, what we know from what we have conjectured or reconstructed or hypothesized. This is what I have tried to do here in regard to two particular problems: the problem of the Layman/Monk Distinction in Indian Buddhism, and the problem of the Doctrine, or Doctrines, of the Transference of Merit in Indian Buddhism. If, however, we begin with the purpose of limiting ourselves to what we can actually know in regard to these problems, then the conventional evaluation and use of literary sources in discussions of Buddhist doctrinal history becomes, in fact, our first problem, and it is here that we must begin.
We know, and have known for some time, that the Pāli canon as we have it--and it is generally conceded to be our oldest source--cannot be taken back further than the last quarter of the first century B.C.E., the date of the Alu-vihāra redaction, the earliest redaction that we can have some knowledge of,1 and thatc--for a critical history--it can serve, at the very most, only as a source for the Buddhism of this period. But we also know that even this is problematic

"The Daynish Campaign Has Begun!"
Friday - May 20, 2016
[Chemiclord] - 05:12:26 - [link here]
Volume 4 of the MegaTokyo: Endgames series is available for sale!
For Kindle, follow this link!
For Paperback, click here!
And as always, you Nook users still get some love. Just click on this little link!
Thank you for your support over these last two years. I wouldn't be able to keep going without everyone!
This particular book came together during some pretty rough moments of personal drama, which didn't help the pressure I put on myself to get it just right, and what contributed heavily to why it dropped a month later than my general goal of two books a year. The desire to get it just right is especially important to me because now we finally are going to start getting into the meat of the Endgames story.
While Tower of Kartage kinda set the mechanics of how the world works, and Dire Water and Fire Fox kinda gave us a bird's eye view of the world itself and the events that take place, now we're finally going to see a more ground level perspective, specifically of the adventuring days of Pirogoeth's life that up until now had only been hinted at. This is really digging into actual canon events of the entire MT world, and I won't deny being absolutely petrified at times that I will not present it in a quality fashion.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I hope you enjoy it, and are ready to dig in further while I get Book 5, The Great Underground Empire, ready!

Good Points
Easy to use, lots of features, very reliable.
Bad Points
Not everyone's cup of tea for those not wanting to use anything other than a Window's platform.
General Comments
I got this as a present to replace my M500 and have been really pleased with it for nearly a year. I find the interface easy to use and it synching directly with Outlook is much better than needing extra software.Wi-Fi web browsing is reliable and connection through blue tooth/mobile phone GPRS is also easy.I also use an HP iPaq with work and the Palm wins hands down.

This application is based, in part, on material originally described in Disclosure Documents 341760, 351035, 358994, 363761, and 376632, which by reference are incorporated and made of this document.
This invent ion relates to a modular, multi purpose carrying rack for carrying a variety of items on a vehicle and a novel means to attach the rack to a receiver-type trailer hitch.
There are a variety of luggage racks, ski racks, bike racks and roof top racks on the market, however, all suffer from a number of problems. Roof top racks interfere with the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The racks arc frequently heavy and bulky and difficult to install and so tend to get left in place for long periods of time. Both the added weight and the loss of aerodynamics reduce the gas mileage of the vehicle. Roof racks necessitate that all objects be hoisted high in the air and then awkwardly placed onto or in the rack. This can be difficult, dangerous and can result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle, object and/or the rack. Bike racks which attach to the rear bumper and/or the trunk lid pose similar problems of being inconvenient to attach and possibly scratching the vehicle during installation. In addition, such racks usually prevent access to the trunk, necessitating dismounting both the bikes and the rack to gain access to the trunk.
There are numerous previous patents of car racks which attach to the vehicle bumper, frame or an existing trailer hitch. Racks or carriers, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,813,584, 4,856,686, 4,901,896, 5,038,983, 5,181,822, and 5,232,133 which attach to either a trailer hitch or a trailer hitch ball all suffer from a common problem: the tendency of the rack and the objects carried to rock back and forth due to the nature of the mounting system. Another disadvantage is that most such carriers are single units which are large and bulky, making it difficult for only one person to install. This is especially true of U.S. Pat. No. 5,038,983 which has been dubbed the "Wheelless Trailer".
Most of the designs are single purpose, e.g., bike carriers or variations on platforms or boxes for holding objects. A few claim to be multipurpose, but it is obvious that they are primarily intended for only one purpose. Several are quite complex and therefore would be costly to manufacture. Most do not lend themselves to being carried in the trunk of the vehicle when not in use and therefore they would have to be stored at home and could not be available to be installed away from home.
Totally separate from the racks mentioned above are roof top carriers of many different designs. Permanently installed racks for pickup trucks and for vans are popular with tradesmen for carrying long items such as pipe and lumber. Ski racks, bike racks and both enclosed and open cargo containers are also in evidence in great numbers on the tops of vehicles. All these attest to the need to be able to carry additional items on vehicles. Each type of car top carrier has its own drawbacks. Permanently installed racks allow large items to be carried, but the rack must be left in place when not in use thereby adding to the weight and reducing the aerodynamics of the vehicle, with a resultant decrease in gas mileage. Removable racks are smaller and therefor greatly limit the amount and size of object(s) that can be carried. This is especially true for small cars with small roof areas, such as sports cars. One inventor, McNeece, U.S. Pat. No. 3,902,642 attempted to correct this deficiency by designing a large car top rack which extended from the rear bumper to the front windshield. This design was essentially a single piece which would be costly to manufacture, difficult to store and which would require at least two people to install.
The subject of the current invention is a modular, multi-purpose carrying rack which will allow a vehicle owner to easily and quickly attach the rack to an existing receiver-type trailer hitch for the purpose of transporting a wide variety of large and bulky items. The rack is constructed out of readily available tubing which requires only simple cutting and welding techniques to produce pieces which slide together to form a horizontal rack which can be positioned at a variety of heights along a vertical pole. The rack can be used either by itself or in conjunction with a folding platform to carry a wide variety of objects at the rear of a vehicle at approximately bumper height. In addition, the rack can be configured to carry bikes and the vertical pole can serve as an attachment point for specialty racks, e.g., a ski rack. Depending on the configuration chosen, this rack can be used as:
a bicycle rack
a rack which can be configured in a variety of ways to haul items which can be suspended from horizontal bars, e.g., a wheelchair, a light motorcycle or a scooter,
a base for attaching a optional ski rack
a base for a platform for hauling bulky items such as lawn mowers, appliances and furniture;
a small table top or work bench which can be adjusted to various heights;
a base for attaching a cargo container, either open or closed, to serve as supplemental trunk space;
a rack which can coordinate with a roof top rack to easily allow large, long and bulky items to be carried between the roof top rack and this rack at the rear of the vehicle.
The general object of this invention is to provide a modular, multi-purpose carrying rack and a novel means to attach it to a receiver-type trailer hitch that overcomes the limitations and drawbacks of the prior art.
A specific object of the invention is to provide a carrying rack which can be configured in a variety of ways to increase its utility in hauling a variety of items.
Another specific object of the invention is to provide a carrying rack which can be assembled and disassembled easily and stored in the trunk of the vehicle.

In all FIGS. small circles designate points at which nuts and bolts or other suitable fasteners may be used to attach one piece to another.
The modular rack is extremely simple and therefore light weight, inexpensive and easy to use. The connector shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 & 4 is very easy to attach to a receiver-type trailer hitch. FIGS. 1 & 2 show a generic mounting system which could be used to securely attach any item to a receiver-type trailer hitch. Item 1 is the receiver portion of a trailer hitch. Item 3, first insertable member, is a square piece of metal just slightly smaller in cross section than the opening in the trailer hitch. With bolt 9 inserted through Hole 10 of Item 8, second insertable member, and partially screwed into Item 3, Item 3 can be inserted into the receiver portion of the trailer hitch until hole No. 4 lines up with hole No. 2. A bolt or suitable pin can then be inserted through both holes and bolt No. 9 can be tightened thus forcing the wedge shaped faces 6 of Item 8 firmly into the square opening of the trailer hitch. Faces 6 of Item 8 can be wedge shaped on one, two, three or all four sides. FIG. 2 shows three faces as wedges with the fourth, bottom face as being flat; this allows the adjoining bottom face of collar 7 to rest firmly against the bottom face of Item 1, thereby reducing a tendency of Item 8 to rotate downward within the opening of the receiver under heavy loads. This method of attachment creates a firm means of attaching an item to a receiver-type trailer hitch with no wobble. Elimination of wobble at this point is important to safely carrying heavy loads.
Any portion of Items 7 and 8 could serve as the attachment point for a rack or other object. Item 8 could be elongated, as in FIG. 3 or Item 7 could be enlarged, as needed, and the rack could be attached by any suitable means to either or both items. Likewise, Items 7 and 8 could be molded, forged or machined out of a single piece of metal--they are shown as two distinct pieces only as an example. FIGS. 3 & 4 illustrate a variation of the generic attachment means shown in FIGS. 1 & 2, specifically designed for the current invention. In this version, a hollow, square tube, Item 8 has a collar, Item 7, welded onto it. The weld at 6 is ground into an oblique angle thus creating a three sided wedge similar to faces 6 in FIG. 1. Faces 11 are an additional weld to firmly attach collar 7 to tube 8. Plate 12 provides a shoulder on which bolt 9 can rest. In the current invention, the attachment means, Items 7, 8, 12, 13 & 15, is envisioned as being welded together as a single unit. The approximate 82 degree angle between tubes 8 & 15 allows the horizontal rack to remain essentially horizontal when a heavy load is placed on it--the angle compensates for the lowering of the end of the vehicle. Once this attachment means is in place, it is likely the vehicle owner would leave it connected to the trailer hitch for extended periods of time since it does not interfere with other uses of the vehicle, except towing a trailer. This would allow for easy attachment of the rest of the rack when needed.
FIG. 5 shows an exploded view of the rack with the connector attached to a trailer hitch. For reference, Item 31 is the bumper of a vehicle. Tube 16 is solidly welded at right angles to tube 17, and tube 16 slides snugly over either or both tubes 15 & 20 which are both the same cross sectional area. Not shown in FIG. 5 is an attachment means to firmly connect tube 16 to tube 15 or 20, however it is envisioned that a nut would be welded over a hole in the side of tube 16 and a bolt could be inserted into the nut and when tightened, would firmly attach tube 16 to tube 15 or 20; this is illustrated in FIG. 7. Item 18 is a short piece of square tubing which snugly slides over tube 17. Not shown is a means to firmly attach tube 18 to tube 17, however the same system of a nut and bolt mentioned immediately above could be used to allow tube 18 to be firmly attached to tube 17 at any point along the length of tube 17 (see FIG. 8). Using this same attachment means, one or both of tubes 18 could also be attached to tube 20 for special purpose hauling. Tube 19 is welded to tube 18. Item 20 is a vertical tube which may be used with the rack as it is configured in FIG. 5; tube 20 would provide a place to attach ropes or straps to be used to steady and secure large objects. Combined, tubes 17 & 19 can serve as the base for a platform, Item 25 shown here and in FIG. 10, on which to place large objects. This platform could be configured to fold up along hinge lines 26 so it would be easier to handle and store. Instead of a platform, tubes 17 & 19 could alternately serve as the base for a closed or open cargo container, Item 28 in FIG. 11: this would provide an additional 15-25 cu. ft. of "trunk" space for the vehicle, when needed. If the cargo or cargo container obscured the tail lights of the vehicle, the ends of tubes 19 form an ideal place to easily attach supplemental lights (Item 27) as illustrated in FIG. 11. Since tubes 18 can be slid over tube 17 and firmly attached at any point, the spacing between tubes 19 can be varied to accommodate not only bikes, but a variety of other objects, such as a wheelchair or even a light weight motorcycle or scooter. Alternately, a ski rack (not shown) could be attached to tube 20 in the same manner as the bike rack assembly. It is even possible to attach both a ski rack and the bike rack at the same time, using the bike rack for carrying other large winter recreation objects such as a sled or toboggan. If the rack is placed at an appropriate height, the platform can be used as a work area or as a small table.
FIG. 6 shows an alternate embodiment of the invention utilizing two vertical tubes. Two attachment points would allow the rack to be stronger and carry heavier loads and would reduce the need for the special connector shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, & 4 since wobble is more easily controlled with two points of attachment. In this embodiment, two cross bars are required and there must be two attachment points 30 and two connectors 29. Since this would require modification of the vehicle, it is envisioned that this version would be less practical unless manufacturers started building attachment points, similar to Items 30, into vehicles. It is envisioned that the attachment points could also be placed either vertically or horizontally within the vehicle bumper, as in FIGS. 12a & b. If horizontal attachment points were built into the vehicle at the time of manufacture, they could simply have a threaded piece built-in to obviate the need for the first insertable member, Item 3 of the current invention; bolt 9 would screw directly into such a threaded piece (Item 34 of FIG. 12a). If the attachment points were vertically built-in to the bumper, as in FIG. 12b, the vertical tubes 20 & 21 could be slid into tubes 35 and attached as illustrated in FIG. 9 with a bolt at the bottom; in essence, tube 15 of FIG. 3 would be built-in to the bumper.
FIG. 7 illustrates the construction of Items 16 & 17 which are welded together at right angles to form a cross bar. Note the nut welded over a hole on the side of Item 16 and the bolt inserted into it which can be used as a means to firmly attach Item 16 at any height along tube 20.
FIG. 8 illustrates the construction of Items 18 & 19 which are welded together to form the horizontal arms for the rack which can be slid along bar 17 and which have the same nut and bolt attachment means as described in FIG. 7 above.
FIG. 9 illustrates the construction of Item 20. By welding tubes 20 & 21 together, a shoulder 22 is created. A threaded nut is welded to the lower end of tube 21 and tube 21 is just slightly shorter than tube 15. When tube 21 is inserted into tube 15, bolt 24 may be introduced through hole 14 and screwed into nut 23, firmly pulling shoulder 22 against the upper edge of tube 15. This creates a rigid connection which eliminates wobble between these two parts.
FIG. 10 illustrates how a folding platform, Item 25 can be placed on the supporting bars 17 & 19. Lines 26 represent hinge lines of the folding platform 25.
FIG. 11 illustrates how a supplemental cargo container, Item 28, can be placed in supporting bars 17 & 19. Such a cargo container can be either open, as illustrated, or closed. This would allow up to 25 cu. ft. of extra "trunk" space for a vehicle. Supplemental lights, Items 27, can be easily attached to the ends of bars 19 if the cargo container, or other load obstructs the tail lights of the vehicle.
FIGS. 12a & b illustrate alternate methods of attaching the rack to a vehicle, especially if the vehicle manufacturer incorporated the attachment means at the time of construction of the vehicle. In FIG. 12a, Item 32 is, in essence, a receiver-type trailer hitch built into the bumper, with Item 33 being a solid block at the proximal end of the receiver with a threaded opening, Item 34, for the receipt of bolt 9. Item 32 is shown extending from the bumper, however it could also be flush with the rear surface of the bumper. FIG. 12b illustrates how the attachment point for this rack could be built into a bumper utilizing a vertical tube, Item 35, similar to tube 15 in FIG. 3. Either of these attachment means would allow the use of more than one attachment point as illustrated in FIG. 6. Such a design adds stability and strength to the rack not possible by using a single attachment point. It would also allow the manufacturer to custom design the add-on cargo container to better blend in with the vehicle, both aesthetically and aerodynamically. This would allow for a major reduction in the size of conventional vehicle trunks, thereby reducing weight and increasing gas mileage.
The modular carrying rack presents several improvements over the existing art. Utilizing readily available materials which require only simple manufacturing techniques, the rack will be inexpensive. Being tubular and modular, it is light weight and easy to assemble utilizing wing nuts and wing-head bolts, it can be assembled with only a minimum of toots. Since the rack can easily be disassembled into individual lengths of tubing, it can be easily stored in the vehicle trunk. With the mounting assembly (FIG. 3) in place, the rack is easy to attach to the vehicle. Since objects will be carried at the rear of the vehicle, they will present less wind resistance and interfere less with the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Since objects will be carried lower to the ground, they will be easier and safer to load and unload than with conventional roof racks. On most vehicles, the trunk can still be accessed even while the rack and its load are in place. With appropriate engineering, the rack will allow loads of up to three hundred pounds to be carried at the back of the vehicle on a platform of approximately 24"�48"--this will allow a wide variety of household items to be transported: desks, dressers, tables, chairs, and even many appliances. Using a supplemental cargo container, the vehicle could have up to 25 cu. ft. of additional cargo space.
Although preferred embodiments of the rack of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the present disclosure is made by way of example and that various other embodiments are possible without departing from the subject matter coming within the scope of the following claims, which subject matter is regarded as the invention.

Atomic force microscopy image of biosurfactant -Cu2+ organized assemblies spontaneously absorbed on graphite surfaces intended to model soil organic matter.
Surfactants--or surface-active agents--are substances that lower the surface tension, forming a membrane-like barrier between different liquid phases that affects the ability of molecules to move from one phase to another. In addition to synthetically produced surfactants, these substances are also produced by a wide diversity of microorganisms. Some types of biosurfactants can bind tightly to toxic metals, such as lead and cadmium, while others can adhere strongly to surfaces, sometimes completely changing the properties of the surface.
Researchers want to know how biosurfactant production in soil systems influences the behavior of toxic metal contaminants. To answer this question, a microbiologist, a surface chemist and an expert in NMR spectroscopy are working together to discover (1) how much of the class of biosurfactants known as rhamnolipids are produced in soil; (2) how these rhamnolipids complex toxic metals such as lead and cadmium; and (3) how these biosurfactants interact with soil surfaces in the presence and absence of metals. This information is a critical piece of the puzzle required for understanding how metals are mobilized and immobilized under both natural and engineered conditions.
This research is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (CHE 01-33237), awarded to Raina M. Maier and Jeanne E. Pemberton at the University of Arizona, and Cynthia K. Larive at the University of Kansas. (Year of image: 2003) [Image 2 of 2 related images. See Image 1.]

What's it like: To have an appendectomy
Why would someone get an appendectomy?
Most people get an appendectomy because they're suffering from appendicitis, meaning their appendix is swelling and could possibly burst. Appendicitis is most common in people younger than 30.
The appendix is attached to the large intestine, located in the lower right area of your abdomen, not far from your belly button. It has no known function, so having it removed likely will not affect your quality of life.
In rare circumstances, a doctor will perform an appendectomy because someone has a tumor, sometimes cancerous, in or around the appendix. Also, women, in rare circumstances, could suffer from endometriosis of the appendix, irregular growth of the cells that line the uterus.
The cause of appendicitis isn't always clear. Also, it can be hard to distinguish whether you have appendicitis or indigestion. If you're suffering from appendicitis, you won't feel well, and you will have a pain that will slowly move to the right lower abdomen. You will probably vomit and feel nauseous.
Unlike indigestion, which can cause a cramping pain, appendicitis can cause constant pain. You probably will lose your appetite.
If you or your family member is concerned you're suffering from appendicitis, it's best to seek medical attention. Research shows the risk of the appendix rupturing increases after 36 hours of untreated symptoms. As appendicitis worsens, a person might suffer from chills, constipation, diarrhea, fever, shaking and vomiting.
What happens?
When you arrive at the hospital, a doctor might order a CT scan or ultrasound. A radiologist can sometimes tell through testing whether you're suffering from appendicitis. However, you will probably not undergo extensive testing, for time is an important factor when dealing with appendicitis.
At the beginning of the surgery, your doctor might fill up your stomach with a gas to elevate the stomach wall, lifting it away from the intestines. This can sometimes help reduce injury during surgery.
Some doctors perform a laparoscopic appendectomy, which involves less cutting than traditional surgery. All surgeons have their own techniques. Generally, if your doctor performs a laparoscopic appendectomy, he or she will make a few small cuts in your abdomen and insert ports around your abdomen area.
Your doctor will next use a small camera to look inside your abdomen. Medical instruments will be inserted inside the ports to help free the appendix from your intestines, and your appendix will be removed. If you suffer from contamination or infection, the area will be rinsed with saline.
Does it hurt?
After the surgery, you likely will have some pain. As with every surgery, some patients feel more pain than others do.
The gas that's put in your stomach during the procedure stretches the abdominal wall, a process that can cause pain in your abdomen and sometimes in your shoulder. After a few days, most pain should be gone.
What are the risk factors?
As with any surgery, there's always risk for infection and bleeding. Risk is higher, but still rare, if you've had other surgeries before and have scar tissue from those surgeries.
Because anesthesia is often used during the surgery, there's a risk that you will suffer from a reaction to the anesthesia or have problems breathing.
What's the recovery time?
Appendicitis becomes more serious if your appendix is ruptured. Also, if your appendix bursts, the infection can sometimes form what's known as an abscess, a pocket of pus and infection around the appendix. It takes longer to recover if either of these things happens. You might be in the hospital for a few days, and it could take you up to two months to recover.
If you have an uncomplicated case of appendicitis, meaning your appendix didn't burst, you might be able to leave the hospital the same day. Once you're home, you'll probably be down for about a week.
Your doctor will likely recommend no heavy lifting for at least a week.
What's the follow-up?
You shouldn't need a follow-up surgery, but your doctor will probably want to see you again. Your doctor will want to check your wounds, ensure you don't have fever, and that you're using the bathroom regularly.

Union Elementary School principal won't be back
MONTPELIER — Union Elementary School Principal Owen Bradley will resign at the end of this school year.
School board Chairwoman Sue Aldrich said Bradley has worked with the district since 2010 and has had his contract renewed in the past.
Administrator contracts in the district last for one year at a time.
School board member Lowell VanDerlip said the board held two executive sessions this year in which it discussed the issue. He said the board used a "personnel" exemption in the state open meetings law to keep the discussions private. Boards can talk privately about certain aspects of employees, such as their contracts, evaluations and disciplinary or dismissal actions.
School board members declined to elaborate on details of the case.
The resignation comes before Superintendent Brian Ricca was able to issue a recommendation on whether to renew Bradley's contract, VanDerlip said.

The mutual fund industry lost more than 36 lakh investors, measured in terms of individual accounts or folios, in the 2012-13 financial year.
The last fiscal marked the fourth consecutive year of loss of folios by mutual funds (MFs). During the preceding three financial years, the MF industry had lost over 15 lakh new investor accounts.
Folios are numbers designated to individual investor accounts, although one investor can have multiple folios.
As per the latest data compiled by market regulator Sebi (Securities and Exchange Board of India) on total investor accounts with the country's 44 fund houses, the number of folios have fallen to 4.28 crore at the end of March 2013 from 4.64 crore in the previous fiscal (2011-12), translating into a decline of 36.23 lakh new investor accounts.
In the past four financial years till 2012-13, the MF industry had lost more than 55 lakh new investor accounts.
MF sector, which held 4.75 crore folios at the end of financial year 2008-09, saw an increase of 3.66 lakh new investors account to 4.8 crore in 2009-10.
However, later the number of folios continued to witness a southward trend and tumbled to 4.28 crore during the past fiscal year.
Market participants attributed the sharp fall in number of folios to profit booking and various merger schemes in the mutual fund industry, among others.
In 2012-13, the number of investor folios for equity schemes fell by 44.7 lakh, while the debt funds recorded an increase of close to nine lakh as far as the number of new
investor accounts were concerned.
The total number of folios in equity funds plunged to 3.31 crore at the end of March 2013 from 3.76 crore in the previous financial year. Equity folios form over 70 per cent of the industry's total new investor accounts.
The huge decline in equity folios during the year coincided with a rise of about 8 per cent in the market benchmark Sensex.
The mutual fund industry has been facing consistent equity folio closures in the past few months.
As per Sebi data, the total number of folios in debt funds rose by 8.9 lakh to 61.38 lakh at the end of March 2013.
Besides, Exchange traded funds gained 1.15 lakh folios to 7.4 lakh investor accounts at the end of March, this year.
Balanced schemes, which invest in equity and debt category, shed 1.16 lakh folios to end at 26.02 lakh during the last fiscal.

This is a first, my first blog post about an event that doesn't involve running.
On Saturday, at 10 a.m., we are honoring my late sister, Susan (Scanlon) Bradley, with a walk-a-thon at the Academy of Notre Dame track in Tyngsboro. My sister lost a courageous one-year battle with brain cancer last July.
Her death has left a giant void in plenty of lives. But Saturday will be a day of celebration, of smiles, of raffle prizes, of music. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and, after a brutal winter, Mother Nature looks she's going to cooperate with a warm day. We deserve it! Proceeds from the Susan Bradley Memorial Walk-A-Thon will go toward the Susan Bradley Scholarship Fund at the Academy of Notre Dame, a school that was near and dear to her heart.
My sister was an awesome person and we hope Saturday will be an awesome event. Hope to see my running friends there!

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

A million thank you's to everybody that got this single via:
This single was the 1st original release by Carlton Zeus in August of 2010 as a heads up to the upcoming album.
Since release, Sharpie Solo has caused quite the buzz for its catchy feel and word play, further embraced with national radio play and home made music video that fans believed to be the inspiration behind the concept of Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" video; causing such a commotion, that Toby Keith himself had to share his thoughts on it.
In good spirit, Zeus dismissed the ordeal as merely a coincidence as Sharpie Solo continues to make its rounds world-wide.
The Spread is an assortment of remixes put together by Zeus and his high school friend Rob Almaguer with remixes ranging from Cindy Lauper and Brandon Flowers to Edwyn Collins. Upon release in August of 2010, the mixtape spread like wildfire with over 10,000 downloads to date and was named Top Album of 2011 by The San Antonio Current.

One of the successful approaches to buy traffic is with solo advertising. A solo ad is the place your offering message is messaged by a solo commercial supplier to a settled number of individuals on the seller's schedule who have once demonstrated an enthusiasm toward your kind of item or administration. Your message is sent on its own, without whatever possible messages or adverts, consequently the name of solo promotion.
As often as possible a schedule manager will ensure a set number of 'clicks'. This implies that they will convey your message to a concurred number of individuals and assurance that these individuals will open the email and "click" on the connection to your presentation

KitchenAid® 5-qt. Glass Bowl K5GB1e74cdb
web ID: 7804035
Product Description
Whether you're mixing savory sauces or sweet batter for baked goods, the roomy KitchenAid 5-quart glass bowl will become one of your favorite culinary tools for the job.
- handles large batches
- easy to clean
Dishwasher safe; hand wash recommended. Imported.
Rated 4 out of 5 by EJ Glad to learn it was not just mine I upgraded from the 4.5 quart to this mixer and the glass bowl broke the first month. I thought it was just me! The bowl has functional problems. First - it does not attach to the mixer very well. It takes multiple tries and does not feel sturdy in the base. And as a result of juggling to get in the pour spout hit the machine and it cracked the bowl. I now use my 4.5 quart metal bowl - although the whole reason I purchased was for the larger capacity since I use very often. I did call Customer Service and they are shipping a new one - I just wish I could have replaced with Metal bowl. I am very nervous about using the glass bowl again but really do need the larger size. I am disappointed I will have to ultimately purchase the metal bowl and spend more money - but do appreciate Kitchen aid replacing the broken bowl. I would recommend the mixer but not the glass bowl. May 13, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by FC Poor quality I love my KA and always wanted to have the glass bowl. After saving some money, i went and splurged on one. It was great! The measurements are somewhat accurate, and the bowl is heavy. I treated with such good care and I always hand washed it. Then this morning my 6yo was helping me making banana bread. He had smashed the bananas on a regular plate and his job was to add the bananas to the bowl. The playe slipped from his hands and fell into the bowl, which caused to break it!! I was expecting the PLATE to break, not the heavy, solid glass bowl. I was very disappointed with the quality because I have some Pyrex bowls that went through way worse beatings and are still standing strong. So I guess this bowl is more for decorative purpose rather than regular uses. I am so upset specially because of the steep price I have paid for it. Also, i have to agree with the previous review that stated that the cover guard doesn't fit the bowl, so there is always going to be flour "splashed" all over the counter. October 11, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Baker222 So sad- broken glass bowl after 4 uses I am so upset-- the bowl cracked after a couple uses. I carefully hand wash it every time. I put it in the standing mixer. Then a few minutes later we heard a popping/cracking sound and looked over to see a crack in the glass. Something about the pressure of locking it in place stressed the glass. I would not recommend this glass bowl. April 17, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Megan Bowl Shattered I've had my Kitchenaid mixer with this glass bowl for about 5 months now. While using the mixer the silver cover from the top attachment spot fell down into the bowl while the mixer was on. My bowl immediately Shattered everywhere and the mixer jammed up and stopped turning. I called Kitchenaid customer service and they are sending my a new one since mine was still under warranty. Good job to customer service but this bowl needs to be more sturdy. I am looking into getting the stainless steel bowl now. April 12, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Footballmom Chipped bowl I am so disappointed in my glass mixing bowl. It has chips on the rim, I always hand wash and dry it and I have no idea how the chips came to be. My mixer is such an amazing appliance, but to replace the glass bowl is very expensive. March 18, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Foran Foreign Chipped after few uses I received this as gift from my grandmother for my wedding. It was the kitchenaid mixer, with a glass bowl. The glass bowl broke after about 4 uses :( simply was pouring a glass measuring cup with milk into the glass bowl and it chipped right at the spout. So upset this happened :( not sure what to do about it now. Kitchenaid is great, but can be expensive! With the name and price attached to it, I expected this bowl to last. March 20, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beth the Baker Chipped I have had this glass bowl for about a year now. I had just made some cookies and hand washed the bowl and set it down to dry on a t-towel on my counter. I then put another bowl down next to it and it must have hit the glass bowl just right because it made a sound and I noticed a huge chip on the rim. :( I love my KitchenAid Mixer and use it almost every weekend for baking but I was disappointed that such a minor tap from another bowl [from one of my vintage - 50 year old FireKing jadite bowls] could do the type of damage it did. March 9, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kim So bummed that it's broken. I'm so sad and bummed about my kitchenaid glass mixing bowl. It's what makes my mixer look so great on the counter, and I loved it. Today, I made some cake batter and washed the bowl. I set it down on the counter and then heard it crack. What a mess - glass everywhere. I always hand washed it and was so careful. For the price, I sure wish it was tougher. March 19, 2016

Israel: Abraham Alu, "We have to move ... but there's nowhere to go"
|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN)

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Israel: Abraham Alu, "We have to move ... but there's nowhere to go", 30 May 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4fc8ac2d2.html [accessed 27 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Abraham Alu, a 35-year-old South Sudanese is one of roughly 60,000 African asylum seekers in Israel. He lives in south Tel Aviv where rents are cheap, does odd jobs and scrapes by, but feels constantly threatened.
Recently, he narrowly escaped attack by a group of Jewish protesters in the city who had smashed African-owned shops and beaten up Africans. A policeman pointed to the Jewish protesters heading in his direction and said, "Run, they'll murder you! Run!". Alu said:
"I feel afraid even right now. I face constant harassment from Jewish Israeli residents of the neighbourhood.
"They come here and say: 'What are you doing here? This is our country, go home; go back to [South Sudan]. I left [southern] Sudan when I was small because of the war and here, right now, I am still in a war.
"When I was seven, I saw both my mother and father murdered by militiamen. I fled the village alone. To this day, I do not know what happened to my brothers. Twenty eight years later, I continue to search, asking other refugees if they have met or heard anything about them.
"I eventually ended up in Egypt. There, asylum seekers could not work legally. In Cairo, I joined a sit-in outside the UN High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR] to protest against the conditions African asylum seekers face in Egypt. The 3,000 demonstrators who camped out for three months in late 2005 asked UNHCR to help them move to other countries.
"On 30 December 2005, some 4,000 Egyptian policemen stormed the protest camp. They fired water cannons into the crowd, which included women and children, and beat demonstrators with batons. More than 20 Africans were killed, including a four-year-old girl. The Egyptian Interior Ministry said a stampede was to blame for the deaths, though media reports cast doubt on that claim.
"Fearing for my life, I fled to Israel. I had heard that the journey through Sinai was dangerous, so I left my wife, a two-and-half-year-old daughter and infant son behind. I would send for them once I settled somewhere and the situation was stable.
"After crossing into Israel in early 2006, I was held in prison for a year. I have been living in south Tel Aviv since I was released.
"Now we have to move [from Israel]… but there's nowhere to go.
"I want to go home and help build South Sudan, which has been independent for less than a year, but I don't feel it is safe to return. It is a small country and there is fighting.
"Where is my future? Where is my future? This is my future?
"I want to be somebody who will do something for [South Sudan] but when I go back, I [will] have no money, no education, no nothing [to contribute to building the state]. Just me and myself, me and the few clothes I will put in a plastic bag.
"Asylum seekers don't want to be rich. No, we are [humble] people. We just want something to eat, we want to sleep well, to feel secure - that is it."

Officers Patrick O'Bryan and Joshua Vander Zwaag were reinstated after the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation finished its probe into the Aug. 7 shooting. County attorney Stephen Holmes' review of the department's findings found the officers' use of deadly force was justified.
Police say the officers opened fire on 40-year-old Julian Kral of New Ulm, Minn., after he allegedly drove at them during an early morning traffic stop Tuesday. Kral was wounded and released from the hospital. The officers were not hurt.
Kral faces charges including assaulting a police officer, disarming a police officer and eluding a police officer.

It's not just data corruption risk. As I understand the mechanics (and Steven would know better); Node fails, peer calls fenced. fenced informs DLM, dlm blocks fence loops until it succeeds fenced informs DLM, locks on now-fenced node are reaped and cleanup/recover begins. Without fencing, it will enter that loop and not recover, leaving your cluster blocked. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

If I could live anywhere in the world, I'd stay right here in Brooklyn.
I've lived in the Midwest, California and Europe but northern Brooklyn is where I belong. You get to live in the world's greatest city, yet you're far enough away from the chaos of Manhattan, in a thriving real community with all the resources that you need for everyday life.
