Johan Santana pays touching tribute to Adebisi
- Updated: February 27, 2009
Mets pitcher Johan Santana seen here showing respect to polarizing Oswald inmate Simon Adebisi shortly before getting into a surprising shoving match with teammate Daniel Murphy. According to reports, the Mets ace lost it after overhearing the young outfielder boasting of an all night drug and alcohol-fuelled rampage through the city with Ryan O'Reily.

What a shocking allegiance. Sayid must be pissed.
two OZ/Adebisi references in one week?
Fuck Johan Santana, he ain't shit until he wins it all.
looks like johan santana showed up to work a little too tipsy. johan! you partied out again, man! quick! somebody get this man a cup of coffee and some crullers!
It must be the recent Oz kick on HBO2.
Adebisi would make a great DH, though. Thinking Chili Davis with a fierce temper.

RICHMOND, Va. – It's not enough to just be talented or skilled or, in the simplest sense, good. The key to being good is replicating that performance. It's consistency.
I mean, Bruce Willis isn't Bruce Willis because he makes one Die Hard movie where he levels entire office buildings, airports and the East Coast in 120 minutes of one-liner-muttering splendor. Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis because he can do that five times.
Forgive my affection for bloated, Willisian action cinema. The point is, consistency is a skill in and of itself. High-end potential is great, but it can be a maddening pursuit when you're only teased the best on occasion. There are plenty of basketball teams out there that haven't mastered the skill of consistency. Speaking strictly on a macro level, Kentucky is a good example. There are probably 7-8 future NBA players on that team. Sometimes, they look like a terrific, cohesive unit, others a storm of wasted motion and discombobulation. Consistency is a skill as valuable as any other.

"Galle" Sri Lanka Things to Do Tip by jungles
Sri Lanka Things to Do: 541 reviews and 892 photos
Galle is about as attractive a colonial city as you can find on the subcontinent. You shouldn't expect stunning architectural beauty like Cartagena in Colombia or Zacatecas in Mexico, however; think 'faded grandeur' and remember that you're still in Sri Lanka after all. Galle Fort, the only part of the city that is of any real interest to tourists, is more of an old walled city than a fort. There are about two hundred houses inside its walls, including some nice guesthouses. Life within the walls moves at a snail's pace, and there's not a whole lot there apart from a few antique stores. The most interesting buildings are the Lighthouse, the Meeran Jumma Masjid (a mosque that looks like a church), and the Dutch Reformed Church. The outside walls themselves are perhaps the fort's greatest attraction, and walking around the ramparts is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Suspected bandit shot in groin during attempted stick-up
A suspected bandit was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) last evening after he was shot to the groin during an attempted robbery at Agricola, on the East Bank of Demerara (EBD).
Police identified the man as 34-year-old Alladin Adonis, of Grove Housing Scheme, EDB.
In a release, police said he and another man reportedly confronted a businessman, who is a licensed firearm holder, around 19.15 hrs yesterday. Refusing to submit to the robbery, the businessman, said to be a former police officer, reportedly opened fire on his assailants, hitting Adonis in his groin. His alleged accomplice, however, managed to escape unscathed.
Adonis was subsequently taken to the GPH in handcuffs and was admitted. Up to late last evening, he remained under guard by ranks of the Guyana Police Force.

Effects of combined-sewer overflows and urban runoff on the water quality of Fall Creek, Indianapolis, Indiana
Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4066
- By:
- J.D. Martin
- Document: Document (pdf)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractThis report describes the effects of combined-sewer overflows (CSO's) and urban runoff on the water quality of Fall Creek during summer 1987 by comparing the water quality of base flow with that of storm runoff and by comparing water quality in the urbanized area with that in the less urbanized area upstream from the CSO's. Data were collected at three streamflow-gaging stations located upstream from, downstream from, and in the middle of 27 CSO's on Fall Creek. The most downstream station also was immediately downstream from the discharge of filter backwash from a water-treatment plant for public supply. Concentrations of dissolved oxygen measured at the station in the middle of the CSO's were less than the Indiana minimum ambient water-quality standard of 4.0 mg/L during all storms. Concentra- tions of ammonia, oxygen demand, copper, lead, zinc, and fecal coliform bacteria at the stations down- stream from the CSO's were much larger during runoff than during base flow. Increased concentrations of oxygen demand in storm runoff probably were caused by combined-sewer overflows, urban runoff, and the resuspension of organic material deposited on the streambed. Some of the increased concentrations of lead, zinc, and probably copper can be attributed to the discharge and resuspension of material back- washed from filters at the water-treatment plant.

LCA studies comparing beverage cartons and alternative packaging: can overall conclusions be drawn?

- , Frank WellenreutherAffiliated withIFEU–Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg GmbH
- , Andreas DetzelAffiliated withIFEU–Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg GmbH
Background and purpose
Numerous life cycle assessments (LCAs) have been conducted on the environmental impacts of beverage packaging systems. With such a potentially rich source of knowledge available, it seemed worthwhile to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of those existing studies. This paper describes a recent 'meta analysis', whose goal it was to provide a structured overview of LCAs on beverage cartons and other packaging systems from past years in order to answer two key questions: (1) Is it possible to draw general conclusions regarding the environmental performance (in terms of strengths and weaknesses) of beverage cartons in comparison to alternative packaging systems from these existing LCAs? (2) If certain trends arise across these LCA studies regarding the environmental performance of beverage cartons compared to other packaging systems for beverages, what can be said on their validity and limitations?
The meta analysis presented covers 22 LCA studies, all of which fulfil three criteria: (1) full life cycle approach, (2) beverage carton must be among the products evaluated in study, and (3) comparative approach. Each of these studies was categorised either as a core study (if focussed on Europe, conducted in 2000 or later, and peer reviewed) or as a basic study. Next to providing detailed comparisons of the analysed studies, the full report on the meta analysis was designed to allow a quick understanding of their main characteristics (or 'profiles'). Similarities and differences were highlighted both in terms of results and the applied methodologies (e.g., key settings) and the validity and limitations of the findings were stated. Additionally, further environment-related topics of special interest to stakeholders in the beverage packaging industry were addressed.
Results, discussion, and conclusions
For certain environmental impact indicators/inventory categories, the LCA studies covered in this meta analysis indicate general trends regarding the performance of beverage cartons versus alternative packaging systems. For climate change, cumulated energy demand/fossil resource consumption, and acidification, all regarded by the majority of all studies, beverage cartons mostly have the most favourable results, while in terms of land use for forestry, they clearly require the largest area. For summer smog and terrestrial eutrophication, the result 'pattern' points towards a favourable picture for beverage cartons; however, fewer LCA studies provide results for these impact categories. For other environmental aspects, where the results of the analysed studies vary strongly, no clear pattern can be made out. Several aspects were covered in too few LCA studies in order for an overall trend or lack thereof to become visible, and still others—which in part have been receiving increased attention in the past years—are not addressed in any of the analysed core or basic studies.

We describe an inadequate antibody response to rabies vaccine in an immunocompromised patient. A literature search revealed 15 additional immunocompromised patients, of whom 7 did not exhibit the minimum acceptable level of antibodies after a complete postexposure prophylaxis regimen. An international rabies registry is needed to provide a basis for determining appropriate vaccination protocols.
Rabies is a rapidly progressive viral encephalitis caused by RNA viruses of the family Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus. Dogs are the major reservoir for these viruses worldwide and usually transmit the virus by conveying their infected saliva through the penetrated skin of bitten humans or animals. The usual incubation period in humans ranges from 10 days to 1 year (average 20–60 days). Rabies causes 30,000–70,000 human deaths throughout the world each year. The rabies-related death rate is ≈100% in unvaccinated patients. Thus, preexposure prophylaxis and postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) are the main effective approaches for treating the disease (1–3).
We describe a case in which an acceptable antibody response to rabies vaccine did not develop in an immunocompromised patient. We also searched the literature for similar cases and summarize the demographic, clinical, and epidemiologic characteristics of such case-patients to date.
A 74-year-old woman was hospitalized at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in August 2011; she reported progressive general weakness that had begun several months before her admission. Her blood count on admission showed severe lymphopenia (250 lymphocytes/µL). In addition, her recent medical history suggested that she had experienced a category II or III exposure (4) to a monkey's bite, as classified by the World Health Organization (WHO), 10 days before admission, while she was traveling in a country where rabies was endemic.
The patient was treated with the standard PEP regimen for immunocompromised patients in accordance with Israel Ministry of Health guidelines at the time she was admitted (5). These guidelines also corresponded to the latest guidelines of WHO and of the American Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding PEP for immunocompromised patients (4,6). In brief, 5 doses of cell culture rabies vaccine, of which both purified Vero cell vaccine (PVRV) and purified chick embryo cell vaccine are available in Israel, are administered intramuscularly on days 0 (together with 20 IU/kg of human rabies immune globulin), 3, 7, 14, and 28.
The PEP regimen for the patient began 12 days after her potential exposure to rabies virus through the monkey bite with the administration of the PVRV vaccine (Verorab, batch E1036; Sanofi Pasteur SA, Lyon, France). On day 15 of the PEP regimen, 2 vials of serum and 1 vial of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), each of which contained >2 mL of fluid from routine samples, were tested for rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (VNA) by the National Rabies Laboratory at Kimron Veterinary Institute. These samples were adequately cooled until the time of analysis. VNA titers were measured by using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (7).
No detectable levels of VNA were measured either in CSF (<0.04 IU/mL) or in the serum samples (<0.07 IU/mL in both vials). The acceptable WHO cut-off level, indicating an adequate adaptive immune response, is 0.5 IU/mL (4); the ACIP cut-off level is 0.1 IU/mL (complete virus neutralization at serum dilution of 1:5) (6).
Before the fifth PVRV could be administered, the patient died of sepsis, most likely of nosocomial origin, induced by her rapidly progressive immunodeficient condition. The pathologic and histologic findings from a lymph node biopsy specimen were concordant with the diagnosis of advanced B-cell lymphoma.
Because of the challenging clinical conditions that we encountered (an immunocompromised patient in need of rabies PEP without an apparent adequate adaptive immune response to the standard regimen), we searched the medical literature for similar reported cases to describe more completely, and in proper context, the epidemiologic and public health issues that were evoked by our case-patient. We conducted a search in the MEDLINE database using the PUBMED website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) on September 15, 2011. We used various combinations of the following search terms or Medical Subject Heading terms: "rabies," "vaccine," "failure," "immune response," "human," and "immunocompromised host."
By this strategy, we found 5 publications (8–12), which reported 15 immunocompromised patients who were possibly exposed to rabies and were given a PEP regimen (Table). Various underlying illnesses were responsible for the immunodeficiency states of these patients. Eight patients had AIDS (8,10), defined as laboratory confirmation of HIV infection and CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of <200 cells/µL for patients >13 years of age or if the criteria for HIV infection were met and at least 1 of the AIDS-defining conditions had been documented for patients 18 months to <13 years of age (13). Five patients were infected with HIV, of whom >1 patients had AIDS, but this information was not further specified in the original publication (9). One patient had high-grade B-cell lymphoma (11), and 1 patient had received a kidney transplant (12).
Of these 15 patients, 7 did not show the acceptable WHO cut-off VNA titer level at any of the reported measurement points during and after administration of the initial PEP regimen. Whether an adequate immune response had eventually developed in a patient due to any additional vaccine doses beyond the original PEP protocol was not accounted for in our literature summary.
We report a patient who had an inadequate rabies antibody response to the standard PEP regime probably due to an underlying immunodeficiency condition. Besides this case-patient, from a survey of the literature, we found reports of an additional 7 immunocompromised patients who also demonstrated a lack of acceptable response level. These patients had followed various rabies PEP regimens with different vaccine types, administration methods, number of injection sites, and doses. However, despite those measures, an adequate immune response did not develop in these 7 patients during the entire follow-up period of each study.
The WHO cut-off titer level of 0.5 IU/mL (4), an equivalent to complete virus neutralization at a serum dilution of ≈1:50 by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test, as well as the lower titer recommend by ACIP (serum dilution of 1:5) (6) are arbitrary laboratory values that do not correlate directly with seroprotection. Moreover, the WHO cut-off titer was originally based on the adequate immune response levels required when repeatedly monitoring healthy patients who needed a prophylactic preexposure regime on a regular basis, for example, veterinarians (14).
The VNA titer response ideally should be determined 2–4 weeks (WHO) or 1–2 weeks (ACIP) after the last dose of vaccine to assess whether an additional dose is needed (4,6). This points to a limitation of the current study, which had 1 measurement point on day 15; thus, the measurement time in our study might merely reflect an immune response to the first 3 doses (days 0, 3, and 7). The same limitation also applies to the previously published studies (8–12), all of which had the last VNA titer measurement on the same day or only a few days after the end of the vaccination regimen. Nevertheless, not even a slight increase in the VNA titers was observed on day 15 in either the CSF or serum samples, which could possibly imply a further lack of immune response. Low or undetectable VNA levels on day 90, the last day of the PEP regimen, were similarly observed in some of the previous studies (8–10). Thus, we could not expect the antibody titer to rise much further, even if additional measurements would have been taken 1–4 weeks after the last vaccine dose as indicated by the guidelines.
In conclusion, current epidemiologic knowledge and existing PEP regimens might not provide enough reassurance for public health experts and attending clinicians when advising and treating immunocompromised patients. Establishing a collaborative international rabies registry with a particular emphasis on immunocompromised patients could therefore provide evidence that would contribute to decisions regarding the appropriate vaccination protocol.

With its sandy coastlines, regal roots, glorious golf courses and easy accessibility to Aberdeenshire and the Grampians, Aberdeen's Granite City is one of our favourite adventure spots. We select the Northeast's finest.
Royal Aberdeen Golf Club
With over 50 golf courses to choose from in the Aberdeen area, that's almost one for every week of the year should we fancy a swing in golf's spiritual home. The Royal Aberdeen is the sixth oldest golf course in the world, and a popular choice with pro golfers (and us!), for its Balgownie and Silverburn courses, complete with rich turf and tight rolling fairways. Links Road, Bridge of Don, +44 1224 702571, www.royalaberdeengolf.com.
Aberdeen Castle Trail
Along with the Scots, we love a good castle and Aberdeenshire, with its royal connections, is famed for being castle country with a great trail for visitors to follow. We usually start 10 miles outside Aberdeen at Drum Castle before heading for the ruined medieval fortress of Dunnottar Castle and the neo-gothic brilliance of Drumtochty Castle. A full castle trail map for the very keen can be downloaded at www.aberdeen-grampian.com. Start at Drum Castle, Drumoak.
The Tolbooth Prison Museum
Widely considered one of the most haunted places in Scotland, we've had our share of frights at the Tolbooth Prison, the site of an eerily preserved 17th century gaol, and once home to the infamous Fittie Witch. Staff sightings have helped fuel the legend with many ghost hunters visiting to see if the fact meets the fiction. Tours can be arranged if you're brave enough. Castle Street, +44 1224 621167, www.aagm.co.uk, opening times vary throughout the year.
Aberdeen Snowsport Centre
The French Alps it's not but Aberdeenshire's Glenshee Ski Centre and The Lecht are two of our favourite places to hit the Scottish slopes when the ski and snowboard bug bites. If you need to brush up, we highly recommend lessons at the Aberdeen Snowsport Centre, which offers special classes available depending on age and skill. And we are completely addicted to their tubing slope, complete with inflatable rings to slide around in, open to big and little kids alike. Garthdee Road, +44 1224 810215, www.skiaberdeen.com.
Dolphin Watching
The Aberdeen area is renowned as one of the best spots in Europe for dolphin spotting, and as wildlife lovers, we follow the locals to look out for them in the summer months around Aberdeen Harbour, as well as in the isolated inlets around Cruden Bay beyond the city. Bottlenose dolphins are particularly prevalent in the area in winter and between April and May, with porpoises also regularly making an appearance around the harbour. Aberdeen Harbour and beach.

I would like to put together a ride on either Saturday or Sunday morning 9am, for early February or March! Classic Steel Bikes recommended, to show your steel and go!
The starting point would be Devon Ave and McCormick Blvd, in Chicago at the parking lot at the beginning of the Art Park going north to Alan Arboretum. It would be a casual ride, 15 to 18mph, stop at intersections for safety. Once at the end of the bike trail, take Greenbay road to Lincoln St (Evanston) turn right going east to Ridge Ave turning left going north to Sheridan road, and on to Tower Road. The total round trip would be 21 miles, small hill to Tower Road, there is a park to rest or just turn around to go back south and return to the parking lot at Devon Ave and McCormick Blvd.
You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you, Mike Holst

The pond in June
June is a month to enjoy working on your pond. It is also the month when young herons fly the nest, so take care to protect the fish in your pond.
Pond tips for in and around the pond.
- Leave your water plants undisturbed as much as possible.
- Drifting plants can go back in the pond at the end of May or the beginning of June.
- Remove excessive duckweed with a net. A layer of this will suffocate other water plants. Turn the net over on the ground and check for any tadpoles or newts. They will find their way back into the pond.
- Re-fill the pond regularly to compensate for evaporation. Do this bit by bit to prevent the water from cooling down too much.
- If the pond water is turbid see if there are enough oxygenating plants. Water fleas are also helpful.
- Waterside plants need regular watering too.
- For a more natural looking pond you can grow Yellow iris, Loosestrife, Rush, Fern, Hosta or Reed mace. Plant these bog plants in the same way as you would plant perennials in the border.

BlackBerry launched its BlackBerry Z10 device in India today for a hefty Rs 43, 490. The launch event also had brand ambassador Ranbir Kapoor at the event, (you can check out our photo gallery here). BlackBerry's head of Software Portfolio, Vivek Bhardwaj was also present at the launch.
Vivek is the man who has been largelyresponsiblefor the BlackBerry 10 OS and like at the New York launch, in India too, it was he who showed off the key features of the new OS . From predictive keyboard to BlackBerry Messenger with its video messaging and screen share option, BlackBerry's new phone isn't just banking on the raw specs but also in providing a different user experience.
We caught up with Vivek and spoke to him after the event on the new BB 10. Some excerpts:
What do you think is the core feature of BlackBerry 10 OS? Is this device aimed at the core corporate audience?
BB 10 is not about just targeting the corporate audience but anyone who wants to get things done, who wants to multi-task, who loves being hyper-connected. That can be anyone, a student who's on Facebook and Twitter all the time, a business executive, all of those audiences. We're now creating a new user experience, which sets us apart. The things we've really innovated are the keyboard, the BBM with video-calling and video share.
Is BlackBerry planning an annual developer conference like the kind Google and Apple do, say on a more regular basis to get more app developers?
We've been doing JAM sessions all of last year. We just finished a JAM session in Europe. We will be doing a BlackBerry Live in May. This will be a developer's conference. We're going to keep the momentum up, and give developers the hardware, the software. We intend to keep this going.
What about software updates? Like the kind Android and iOS roll out every year:We will be rolling out regular updates. We will innovate with keyboard as we believe in giving our users the best typing experience. You will also be seeing some new things with BBM later this year. We will continue to make the user experience faster and more fluid.
BBM has a lot of competitors like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger. Your take on how BBM will compete in this market: With BBM, we are doing pretty well so far. We've got 60 million active BBM users. Actually if you look at the level of engagement that people have on BBM, than compared to the others the apps that you're mentioning, it's much higher. People don't just use BBM for 15 minutes, but they're on it all the time. That level of engagement means we have a very active audience and we're going to capitalise on that.

Following up a Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report which highlighted the addition of 111,000 construction jobs in June, LIUNA (Laborers' International Union of North America) joined President Obama on Friday at the signing ceremony for a new jobs-creating Highway Bill.
"While the economy overall continues to struggle as today's jobs report shows, investment in the basics of our country – including through the Highway Bill – offers both the hope for robust recovery and for investment that will increase our nation's competitiveness and leave behind real assets for taxpayers and future generations," LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan says.
The nation's construction industry added 111,000 badly-needed jobs last month, with the percent of construction workers trying to find work falling to 12.8%, according to the latest report from BLS. During the recession, approximately 2 million construction jobs were lost.
"The Highway Bill is progress and a lifeline for construction workers, but it only gets us to the 10- or 20-yard line," O'Sullivan says. "It's time for a national conversation on how to get in the end-zone – to build an America that once again has transportation systems that are the envy of the world."
The $105 billion, 27-month Highway Bill will provide investment for roads, bridges and transit systems. O'Sullivan says, "It will be a fire-wall against further decay of our transportation infrastructure – as well as create or support at least 2 million jobs. But the problem is bigger. We need a long-term vision to plan for a generation, not just for a few years. For example, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the average bridge is 43 years old, dangerously close to the average lifespan of 50 years."

The only word to describe the battery market in 2012 is mixed.
A look at a chart of the most recognizable names in the biz — China BAK, Exide, Johnson Controls, Maxwell Technologies, etc. — illustrates this perfectly:
Stocks in the battery sector turned in performances ranging from negative 60% to up 40%.
Indeed, the NASDAQ OMX Energy Storage Index (NASDAQ: ^GRNSTOR) was down 11% by December 2012, which perfectly reflects the middle ground between the extremes.
And the main topic of battery conversation this year wasn't a positive one...
A123 Systems, which was awarded a $249 million grant as part of the stimulus, was forced into bankruptcy. Instead of being the jolt to the industry many thought it would be, it ended up being the Solyndra of the sector.
The excitement around this MIT spin-off was fervent when it launched in late 2009 with a share price over $25.00... Today it trades for $0.02.
The same thing happened to battery maker Ener1. It had approval for $118.5 million in government grants. It received only half of them before it filed for bankruptcy and was delisted from the stock exchange.
But these negatives are only part of the story...
Like is happening in solar, the growth of any industry means some competitors will fail.
Across the cleantech space, international conglomerates are merging and acquiring their way into the space. And as I see it, that means two things...
#1 Commoditization
It's a long word, but a simple concept.
In the early days of any industry, there are many competitors. And it's human nature to try to pick who the winner will be. But as the industry matures, products become more and more similar until there are few discernible differences — that is, the product becomes a commodity.
In many cases, it's not the product's but the manufacturer's ability to cut costs and increase profits that determines who the winner will be.
Computers and televisions are the prime examples of this phenomenon: The product becoming a commodity is why Chinese-owned Lenovo now makes ThinkPads instead of IBM. It's the same reason South Korea's LG now owns Zenith, which pioneered remote controls and HDTV.
Now the same thing is happening in batteries. A123 may now be bankrupt, but it's not because the lithium battery market is slowing down...
Instead, it's because it had to recall defective batteries made for Fisker and could not generate sufficient profits to pay off debts.
The lithium battery market is expected to grow almost 300% by 2020, from $11 billion in annual sales to $43 billion.
And has this happens, the selling price is falling. And that's what is hurting companies.
Selling prices for lithium ion batteries today are in the $500-$600 per kilowatt-hour range. That's expected to fall to $200 per kilowatt-hour in the next eight years.
Those who can't stay profitable as prices fall will fail. This is what happened to Solyndra in the solar industry, and what just happened to A123.
Like happened with IBM's ThinkPad, A123 batteries will carry on under a new Chinese name...
Though Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) bid to acquire its assets, Chinese firm Wanxiang ultimately bought them for $256.6 million.
#2 The Resource
While the battery manufacturing sector as a whole was down 11% in 2012, the same isn't true for the miners and processors of the materials necessary to make lithium batteries.
Two of the three top holdings in the Global X Lithium (NYSE: LIT) ETF — FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC) and Rockwood Holdings (NYSE: ROC) — were each up more than 20% on the year in 2013.
In the past, only about 23% of produced lithium went to making batteries. With the increased lithium battery market slated to grow at over 18% annually, it could put a strain on lithium supply and send prices higher.
Between 2011 and 2013 alone, lithium demand grew 25%. It's expected to double by 2020.
And lithium prices are rising, too. Lithium carbonate hovered around $2,000 per tonne from 2000 to 2004, but then started rising with demand. By 2009 they were at $5,000 per tonne — and are expected to keep on rising.
These companies are increasingly signing lithium offtake agreements directly with major international conglomerates.
Canada Lithium (TSX: CLQ), for example, has signed a five-year lithium supply agreement with Tianjin Products and Energy Resources Development Co. for 12,000 tonnes per year.
Toyota has gone right to the source as well, partnering up with Orocrobre (TSX: ORL) to build the first large-scale brine-based lithium project in 20 years. It's expected to produce 17,500 tonnes per year.
And we can't avoid news about the Gigafactory and its thirst for lithium supply. Already several companies have signed agreements to supply Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) with supplies from the U.S., Argentina, and more.
As the lithium battery market continues to mature — which will include continued consolidation — it seems the smartest way to play it is through the international manufacturers and miners with access to the best resources, rather than take on unnecessary risk betting on unproven entrants.

To identify the causative gene in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 22, an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia mapped to chromosome 1p21-q23.
We previously characterized a large Chinese family with progressive ataxia designated SCA22, which overlaps with the locus of SCA19. The disease locus in a French family and an Ashkenazi Jewish American family was also mapped to this region. Members from all 3 families were enrolled. Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify candidate mutations, which were narrowed by linkage analysis and confirmed by Sanger sequencing and cosegregation analyses. Mutational analyses were also performed in 105 Chinese and 55 Japanese families with cerebellar ataxia. Mutant gene products were examined in a heterologous expression system to address the changes in protein localization and electrophysiological functions.
We identified heterozygous mutations in the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv4.3-encoding gene KCND3: an in-frame 3-nucleotide deletion c.679_681delTTC p.F227del in both the Chinese and French pedigrees, and a missense mutation c.1034G>T p.G345V in the Ashkenazi Jewish family. Direct sequencing of KCND3 further identified 3 mutations, c.1034G>T p.G345V, c.1013T>C p.V338E, and c.1130C>T p.T377M, in 3 Japanese kindreds. Immunofluorescence analyses revealed that the mutant p.F227del Kv4.3 subunits were retained in the cytoplasm, consistent with the lack of A-type K+ channel conductance in whole cell patch-clamp recordings.
Our data identify the cause of SCA19/22 in patients of diverse ethnic origins as mutations in KCND3. These findings further emphasize the important role of ion channels as key regulators of neuronal excitability in the pathogenesis of cerebellar degeneration. ANN NEUROL 2012;72:859–869.

I have a year old son and have gained a lot of weight since his birth now I'm expecting another baby and managing my weight is more difficult than I anticipated! Started off great but now dealing with a threatened miscarriage So no exercise and off work for 5 weeks! Please any advice at all would be greatly appreciated :(
Trying to manage weight during this pregnancy and it's so difficult

Just try to cut portion sizes. Since starting my third trimester, I've cut my portion sizes and have been losing weight and my body feels better because of it.
Posted 09/29/2012
Definately cut portion sizes, eating the healthiest stuff possible (lots of veg & fruit). Also, drink lots of water, especially a glass before a meal. Are you allowed to do something like hand weights, or resistance bands to work your arms & shoulders?
Good luck!

Things are about to get very interesting for the Indiana University basketball team.
It's not as if the first half of IU's season has been a walk through Cupcake City.
Oh wait, that is exactly what it has been. The Hoosiers' path through 19 games has been filled with more cream puffs than a bakery.
IU did not play a road game on the home court of a nonconference opponent, and its early Big Ten slate was stacked with visits to teams who will struggle to be in the conference's top 10.
As a result, even though the Hoosiers sit at 17-2, just out of the Big Ten lead in this final week of January, we really don't have a clue how good this team may be. Or not.
That is about to change.
The schedule will produce a reality check starting Sunday against Michigan State. IU will travel to four ranked opponents and host three more during the final six weeks.
That will be quite a jolt for a team that has faced only two teams ranked at the time of play over the season's first nine weeks, and both of those at home.
Even then, the ride has been a bit bumpy for a team that came into the season ranked No. 1, sporting a combination of size, skill and experience quite uncommon today's college game.
IU has beaten the cupcakes on its schedule with relative ease, but more qualified foes have produced struggles.
The Hoosiers are 2-2 against teams likely to make the NCAA tourney, with all but one of those games at home. A neutral-court overtime loss to Butler saw the Hoosiers get out-toughed inside. A home undressing by Wisconsin last week took them completely out of their game.
Home-and-home series remain with No. 2 Michigan, No. 13 Michigan State, No. 14 Ohio State and Purdue. The Hoosiers go to Illinois and No. 12 Minnesota.
If those flaws were revealed in those friendly settings, what will true road games produce?
Three factors are most critical in determining how IU fares in this stretch.
Wat's up?: Enigmatic does not begin to describe Christian Watford, the Hoosiers' X factor.
At 6-9 and blessed with great range, Watford is a matchup nightmare. He can crash the boards with impunity; he can step out and hit the 3.
When the senior is on, IU is virtually unstoppable as the middle opens for Cody Zeller and the wings provide space for Jordan Hulls and Victor Oladipo.
Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, Watford also can disappear. When he does, he takes his entire game with him. He had nine points and three boards in the Butler loss and 11 and five in the Wisconsin defeat, both below his averages.
The Hoosiers cannot win if the most dangerous player on the court is also the most quiet.
Bench pinch: The Hoosiers' one-time strength has turned into a dilemma.
The trio of Will Sheehey, Remy Abel and Jeremy Hollowell is as solid as any bench in the country. Lately, though, solid has turned to shaky.
In the five-point loss to Wisconsin, the three scored only two points in 39 minutes, 18 points below their collective average. That was a clear difference in the game.
As well, heralded power forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea has been slow to develop, and veteran seniors Derek Elston and Maurice Creek have been hobbled by injuries. Austin Etherington is out for the season.
The dependable rotation must return if the Hoosiers are to survive a rugged Big Ten gantlet.
Energy efficiency: Despite these concerns, there is reason to believe the Hoosiers are ready for their tough stretch through the conference's best.
IU is second in the nation in the UPS Team Performance Index, a gauge of six major statistics — effective field-goal percentage for and against, rebounding percentage, ball-handling efficiency, miscues and winning percentage.
The reason for the high ranking is clear. The Hoosiers shoot and score particularly well. What is most surprising about this team, though, it effectiveness on the boards (15th in nation) and its vastly improved defensive intensity.
The index, while proprietary in nature, produces an interesting assessment of potential success. Following the Hoosiers are Florida, Michigan and Syracuse.
The leader? Stephen F. Austin. Not a national name, for sure, but the Lumberjacks are 16-1 and likely bound for the NCAA tourney.

Leapfrogging from a previous question, I'm having problem with the proper reg expression syntax to isolate a specific word.
Given a data frame:
I'm looking extract all of the "Dark" and "Light" (ignoring upper vs lower case) from the row names and make a second column containing only the string "Dark" or "Light"
Col1 Col2
Dark_ark 1 Dark
Light-Lis 12 Light
dark7 3 dark
DK_dark 6 dark
The_light 4 light
Lights 8 Light
Lig_dark 2 dark
D_Light 8 Light
Ive changed the original data a bit to detail my current issue, but working of an excellent answer from Tyler Rinker, I used this:
DF$Col2<-gsub("[^dark|light]", "", row.names(DF), ignore.case = TRUE)
But the gsub gets tripped up on some of the letters in common. Searching the message boards for isolating an exact word with regex, it looks like the answer should be to use double slash with either
So why does the line
DF$Col2<-gsub("[^\\<dark\\>|\\<light\\>]", "", row.names(DF), ignore.case = TRUE)
Not pull the desired column above? Instead I get
Col1 Col2
Dark_ark 1 Darkark
Light-Lis 12 LightLi
dark7 3 dark
DK_dark 6 DKdark
The_light 4 Thlight
Lights 8 Light
Lig_dark 2 Ligdark
D_Light 8 DLight

Mayhem # 2453997
About MeHi, my name is Allie I am twenty-three years old, I have no tattoos, no face/body piercings (I used to have a nose piercing, but I took it out and there is minimal scarring that can be easily worked around in photoshop). Although I am just starting back into modeling, I am very dedicated about it. I have many ideas for concepts as I am very creative. I'm a very imaginative person, so I often come up with ideas and jot them down so that when the time comes-- I am well prepared with a list of pose, wardrobe, makeup and hair ideas to run by the photographer. I'm a licensed esthetician working who is excited to make it out there in the stunning, beautiful world of modeling. As far as versatility, I'm up for pretty much any thing, and my license includes make-up so I will be able to do my own for shoots. I am very willing to work with you in creating whatever look tickles your fancy. My goal is to become relevant in the modeling industry, and make the images that are taken of me speak a little MORE than a thousand words.
I am interested in doing unique, high fashion, conceptual, glamor, lingerie, artistic implied, and themed photoshoots, and am available for a wide range of ideas. If you run an idea by me, I will more than likely be up for it. I always try to make myself look most like the look that you are trying to achieve, through makeup, hair and wardrobe. I am very detail oriented, and love trying new ideas and bringing fun ideas to life with energy, gaze and stellar poses. I am willing to do implied, however, I ask that you keep the pictures tasteful.
Thank you for your time.

This question really hit home for me. I loved having a boy's nn as a kid and my friends all thought Frankie was so cool. As an adult it got really old and I got teased. I don't like my given name of Frances so never really used it. When I start college in the fall, I'll be going by a form of my name but more fresh and feminine. (Francine)
Having the opposite sex nn is ok when you're small. I would advise your sister's friend to keep the nn Ruby to family and friends. It's cute, but kids can be cruel. He will establish his own identity and nn for school friends etc. as he grows up.
