At Cadence, there is a big focus on low power design. In the mobile world, power has become the primary design constraint. Everybody knows that dead batteries are no fun. When Cadence IT sent me a new laptop last year, I was very happy to get a machine which was faster, had more memory, and a bigger hard drive, but was sad to learn that the battery lasted about 2 hours vs. a 4 hour battery on the old machine. This is the difference between enough battery to fly to San Jose and not enough battery to fly to San Jose. There are many technologies available from Cadence that contribute to the low power solution. The Power Forward Initiative has been around for a few years now,and low power continues to be an increasingly popular topic. Low power will also be a big topic at DAC.
Many of the power saving features in a chip are controlled by software. This has lead to the need to verify the various power modes of a device by running software. Verifying power transitions is a good problem to be solved by a Metric Driven Verification flow including ISX (Incisive Software Extensions).
Even with all of the focus on designing low power chips with all of the available techniques (see the one minute power manager primer for an introduction) all of the efforts of the chip design and low level power control software will be nullified if the application software is not optimized for power. Even the best device with the best operating system will be a flop in the market if the battery life does not match user expectations.
One of the biggest challenges today is that the software environment in today's mobile devices is open. This means users can add applications that were not developed by the manufacturer and combinations of applications will run together that may not have been tested together. This years Google Developer Conference contained an interesting session on low power titled "Coding for Life -- Battery Life, That is". There is a video of the talk, and for those that don't have a hour to spend watching it, the slides are also available. Software engineers are talking about milliamperes and milliamp hours. Understanding where all the power goes and having tools to analyze which parts of the software are using battery is a crucial topic that software developers need to pay attention to and many users will want to understand so they can find a misbehaving application that may be draining all of the device power. I love the future feature that will automatically uninstalling an application that drains too much power (slide 31). It's clear from the talk that the software engineers knowledge about power usage can make a huge difference in the battery life of a mobile device and doing it well is much more complex than just starting an application, letting the device sit idle, and making sure the battery doesn't run out because some task is using the CPU when it should not be.
It seems the topic of power management must be addressed at all levels of system design and verification, including the application level software. Having a good understanding of power at many levels will result in successful products that exceed user expectations when it comes to battery life.
Good luck in all your efforts to make the battery last longer, and let us know some of the techniques you use to address the problem.

15 Greatest Black Women Preachers: Experts and Leading Blacks Name Select Group of Ministers
Experts and leading Blacks name select group of ministers
IN the most extensive poll of its kind, 15 ministers were named America's greatest Black women preachers.
With the commanding leadership of Deborah and Sheba, the courage of Esther, and the clarity of faith of Jarena Lee, Harriet Tubman and Nannie Helen Burroughs, these 15 pastors, evangelists, professors and scholars represent "in the highest degree the great Black pulpit art of passion, eloquence and wisdom."
Selected by influential Black Americans, EBONY's Greatest Black Preachers and leading ministers, male and female, the 15 honorees are powerful and prayerful women of faith. The honor is significant in many ways, but particularly because it is the first time that EBONY's experts have named the top women preachers.
Three of the ministers tied for the first-place positron in the balloting: the Rev. Prathia Hall, the Rev. Carolyn Knight and the Rev. Vashti McKenzie. The trio was closely followed by the Rev. Renita Weems, the Rev. Suzan Johnson Cook and the Rev. Ann Lightner-Fuller.
Geographically diverse, the top 15 honorees literally span the country, with one from California, two from New York City and all stops in between. Three of the top 15 preachers hail from Atlanta. Two are from Chicago, two are from Maryland, one from Philadelphia, one from Detroit, one from San Antonio, Texas, and one from Washington, D.C. Since it is impossible, as all respondents said, to limit the list to 15, and since only a handful of votes separated some nominees, all nominees with substantial support are listed in the Honor Roll of Great Preachers.
It is with that understanding and in that context that we present on the following pages 15 ministers who are indisputably among the greatest preachers, Black or White, men or women, in this land.
The Rev. PRATHIA LauraANN HALL, pastor of Mt. Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, is in "a class of her own," the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. of Chicago says, and "lies the gospel to new levels, lifting hearers simultaneously with an understanding of an awesome God that is unparalleled." A graduate of the Freedom Movement of the '60s and a descendent of a long line of preachers, Dr. Hall is also dean of African-American Studies and a lecturer in Christian ethics at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. The Rev. Charles W. Adams of Detroit says, "Better than anyone else in the pulpit today, she combines the best scholarship with keenly precise Biblical interpretation and passionately persUasive delivery."
The Rev. VASHTI M. MCKENZIE, pastor of Payne Memorial AME Church in Baltimore, is described as an "electrifying speaker" who is "the epitome of eloquence and dynamic delivery." Dr. McKenzie is the author of several books on the leadership of women in the church as well as a volume of sermons. The Rev. Otis Moss Jr. called her "an extraordinary person in gifts, skills, education and character." Another praised her for her "regal elegance...and a majestic application of Scripture to vicissitudes, vagaries, circumstances, and situations of daily urban life." Several of her fellow ministers said she has the gifts to become the first woman bishop in the AME church.
The Rev. CAROLYN ANN KNIGHT, assistant professor of homiletics at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, was cited as a "gifted, stand-up preacher" who delivers "fresh and fulfilling" sermons. Rev. Knight is the founder and president of "CAN DO!" Ministries, dedicated to youth and young adults. Dean Clarence Newsome of the Howard University School of Divinity says she has "a disciplined but creative way of marshaling eternal truths from heaven to the human heart with a quality of pulpit voice and picturesque speech that is unique to the best of the African-American religious heritage."
The Rev. RENITA J. WEEMS associate professor of Old Testament Studies at Vanderbilt University Divinity School in Nashville, Tenn. …

If I get hold of a linux box and put it on the network, will that be able to connect to it, or is it more than just a Windows issue?

Madara? Obito? Danzou?
Page colored by me.
Naruto (C) Masashi Kishimoto
THIS IS FOR THE NONE READING POEPLES IF YOU READ THEN PLS DONT LOOK ITS A BIT DISTURBING so im just saying :TOBIS RIDOUKA SEINN YOU FUKING BASTERD Masashi Kishimoto FUKING DRAWS HIM AND HE GETS LAID FORM SAUSAKE ONLY ONE PEOPLE HAS RINNGAN WITH OUT ANY REQUIREMNT AND THATS RIDOUKA SEINN OLDER SON YOU FUKING BASTER HIS FUKING FATER GAVE TO HIM AND HIS BALLS!!!!!!!!!TOBI IS RIDOUKA SEINN THATS HOW HE GOT THE RIINGAN AND GAVE TO NAGATO ITS NOT FUKING NAGATO OK!!!!!AND MADRA CAN USE RINNGAN CAUSE HE HAS THE FUKING ENRTAL MAGEKYO SHARIGAN AND FOUR BALLS!!!!!!!STOP BITCHING AROUND OBITO WILL GET REVIED BY KABUTO PROPERLY NOT SURE
ok after time has passed reading manga,watching latest ainme episode(up to 250 can watch in naruto.get.com)reading newspaper in the toilet did you konw lady gaga buys condom. as you can see ridouka seinn older son wanted peace same as tobi which he said he will create and told minato 248(ep)both tobi and ridouka seinn older son wanted peace by power and actuly nagato rinngan orginaly belongs to tobi and only ridouka seinn older son has his fater eye(rinngan)and his spirtual engery along with charka(yin),hes brother has his fathers body and life form(yang)ridouka seinn on his death bed he choosed the younger borther as a sucseser.the older brother got jealous bla bla bla haterd bla bla they fight blah blah blah,hundereds of years past ridouka older son descendants become the uchia which if the uchia unclocked the entral mageykyo sharigan they can activate rinngan(its unkonw how) and the younger brother descendants become the senju(1st hokage).like what tobi said he ''hated'' the senju just like the older son of riduka and last,Masashi Kishimoto draw a picture of broken mask of tobi it showed the face mouths nose and eyes and other stuff like wrinkes.which could be ridouka seinn older son btw the jutsu ''tobi'' use is the ''yin relese'' also know as dark style,shadow style it is a techniques, based on the spiritual energy that governs the imagination, can be used to create form out of nothingness which the thrid and fourth hokage used before they die '' Dead Demon Consuming Seal'' but in america ''death reaper seal''i suggest you all to watch anime at narutoget.com or aftv and read manga go to leaf ninga.com for more info and narutopidea hope this helps >
danzou died and madara was revied by kabuto so tobi could be obitto and remember obitto got curshed by a boulder he propley ask zetsu to create the right half of its body thats why when tourune uses his bug on tobi right arm he took it off and you could see a white stuff which is used by zetsu. and plus he asked konan where nagato rinngen so he can replace his left eye which was taken by kakashi but heres an maybe answer to tobi could be ridouka seinn older son he was the one that created haterd and create the uchica plus he so he can use sharigan and he told konan that he gave nagato his rinngen after the fight before konan died she blasted 78% of tobis body and later it was fixed back by zetsu. reply me and vote for who tobi is ridouka seinn older son or obito.
hey guys is interesting, I go that Tobi is obito, its quite simple because, Jappanesse Talk by syllabus example: Ta Ka & He bi, I know because I took jappanese classes if you put tobi or Obito you can tell, THEY ARE ANAGRAMS, O Bi To <------ Tobi, also what was the fun of at the begining of the manga (shippuden Part) to make history of Obito so famous???????? Other similarity was the most important of allllllll Obito gave his eye to Kakashi and sudenly he got the ability to send stuff to other dimension, Doesn't sound familiar........ Tobi's ability?????? Shisui or Danzo doesn't have that ability lets try to put the history to our convenience
it cannot be obito b/c when tobi revield him self to saske he showed his right side obito was crushed on his right side soo...
O.O Why does Sasuke only have one Sharingan eye activated?
Yeah we all know now that he isn´t Obito but I like this Fanart!
just outta curioustiy have you ever thought that Madera might be Danzou... i mean from what we have seen of Madera's face he looks to be in his upper years... and we know Danzou is an old fart. But th other thing that caught me was that... Dansou always has his right eye covered.. and we onlt know that Madera has the sharingan in his right eye....just speculation but hey we won't know till kishi tells us so yea
Kishimoto is an ass for leaving us hanging like this :/
I'm still sticking to Madara damn Mangenkyo would be helpfull considering that they are by every Uchiha unique...oh well maybe in the next chapter, nice colouring by the way...
so... if he is saying his madara dosnt mean thats not obito's body
so much evidence point towards obito, and an interview with the creator of naruto about the future manga he says something very huge will happen to kakashi
nod nod wink wink >>>>>>>>he finds out its OBITO!
btw, nice colouring, i enjoyed this manga chapter

btw, nice colouring, i enjoyed this manga chapter
lol, that is so old, there is more (real)proof that he is Shisui
lol, what proof was that? The Uchiha police squad found shisui dead...more signs point to Obito than Shisui, i still think Madara is controlling Obito's body
well, looks like we will find out in the next chapter then..
Just so I have proof that I thought of it if it does turn out that it was him, I think its Shisui Uchiha.
I agree with you guys but one things stick out...think about when pein and konan were talking and we got to see them for the first few times and we find out tobi is calling the shots, remember what he says. "Uchiha Madaras power will be mine" Thats the only reason I can think of someone else plus the obvious sharingan in the right eye of tobi and kakashis left eye sharingan plus kakashi thinks he knows who it is espically when he said we have to get to sasuke now.
Tobi=Obito but has Madara's spirit and power in him lol
I wish it was Obito too, but he keeps saying he's Madara.
Aww. I wish it was Obito. But they said it was Madara (i still have sum hope thought!)
nicely coloured!
nicely coloured!
who would be madara? uh dude read the freakin manga.

Business: Hacker Lifts Lid on Internet Security
Mcgill, Adrienne, The News Letter (Belfast, Northern Ireland)
A COMPUTER hacker famed for accessing secret documents held by defence organisations yesterday gave Northern Ireland businesses an insight into the world of Internet security.
Matthew Bevan, alias Kuji, once accused of breaking into sensitive computers belonging to the US Airforce and Lockheed Space and Missile Company, was in Belfast with a number of leading IT security experts attending a business seminar.
The event, organised by nevada tele. com, the recently established locally based telecommunications and Internet company, was held to alert businesses in the Province about the importance of security in Internet and e-commerce and offer practical advice to ensure web and IT security.
Mr Bevan, from Cardiff, was arrested in June 1996 at the age of 21, accused of breaching a number of high profile computer systems.
It was suspected he had been coaching another UK hacker, Richard Pryce, who was arrested in 1994 for the same crimes.
The two faced the charges together and in pre-trial hearings the prosecution eventually offered "No Evidence" leading to a full acquittal and not guilty verdicts being recorded in 1997. …

By Harrison Hopkins
Harrison Hopkins graduated in 2011 from Laurens District 55 High School in Laurens, South Carolina. He is currently a sophomore at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, where he is the founder and current president of the Secular Student Alliance at Presbyterian College. His blog is part of this week's "Religious Freedom Goes to School" blog series. Share your story about religious freedom in South Carolina's public schools by reporting potential religious freedom violations to us.
Throughout elementary, middle, and high school, we constantly hear about how the United States was founded on religious freedom, how we are a "salad bowl" of people with a variety of ideas, cultures, and personal beliefs, and how we should respect these differences among people. Imagine my surprise when I found out, after being taught this for so many years, that my high school was going to put the choice of whether or not to have an explicitly Christian prayer at our graduation ceremony up to a vote by the graduating class.
At first, I felt powerless to object. "Majority rules," right? After a bit of research, however, I found out that this was wrong. In fact, our Constitution guarantees that the majority cannot interfere with the minority's fundamental constitutional and human rights. It's kind of the entire point of our Bill of Rights. Constitutional rights are sacred and we do not put them up to a vote.
With this in mind, I started to think. How many students throughout the years had been made uncomfortable by this practice? How many felt excluded? How many had wanted to say something, but didn't out of fear of repercussions from classmates or even their own family?
These questions are part of what pushed me to contact the ACLU. Letters were sent to the school explaining why this vote was illegal, and a week later, the school said that it would cancel the vote. It seemed like we had won, but things are never that simple.
In the weeks leading up to graduation, word got out that I had complained about the prayer vote and that it had been cancelled. Parents found out, news agencies were called, and petitions were passed around the community. All eyes were on me wherever I went in the school. Finally, the day of graduation came along, and, to my disappointment, there was still a prayer. Parents and students rejoiced, under the impression that they had won.
But they didn't.
All they managed to do was to inspire me to become an activist. Since then, I have been reaching out to those in similar situations and doing everything I can to let them know: you are not alone. I've met people throughout South Carolina and from around the country also working to protect religious freedom. We all have the same idea in mind: Separation of church and state is important and needs to be protected in order for religious freedom and freedom of belief to truly thrive.
And if I and others I have met as a result of my experience in public school have anything to say about it, it will be.
Learn more about religious freedom in public school: Sign up for breaking news alerts, follow us on Twitter, and like us on Facebook.

They didn't win at all by going on with the prayer.
It's doubly evident when I consider that without Harrison Hopkins, I would have never become an activist.

It is hard to be brave as a teenager in High School. Peer pressure is enormous, and few people would have the courage to do what you did. Congratulations and keep it up. You are not alone AND you are RIGHT.

Of course he has every right to be an atheist/agnostic; but, if that is what he believes, why did he choose to go to a Christian college? There are plenty of secular schools around.
- August 23, 2012
You can be deeply religious AND want separation of church and state. I am and I do.
Also, anyone can pray anytime anywhere no one can stop you......uh what do you know I just prayed. Prayer comes from the heart God doesn't need us to open our mouths to hear it. In fact, the Christian Bible exhorts us to go into our closet to pray. Why? Because otherwise we are tempted to impress those around us with our prayer. So who are we praying to? Man, whose breath is in his nostrils or to the One Omnipotent and only who knows what we have need of before our thought is even formed.
- August 23, 2012
I have to DISAGREE with the ACLU on this one. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and prohibits the state from establishing a state religion. The question is where is the line drawn between state officials (public school employees) practicing their own religion and the state officials establishing a religion. I think the answer is coercion. When the state (school) forcibly coerces people to pray at the event OR refuses to allow non-Christian religious expression, then it becomes unconstitutional establishment. This isn't the case at this high school as far as I can tell. Non-Christians had every right to not participate in the prayer or petition the school to allow other religious expression. Hopkins admits that the worst they would experience is discomfort at the event. One person making another feel uncomfortable is NOT unconstitutional. Nor can a minority refuse the majority the right to practice their religion freely if there is no coercion.

Harrison Hopkins : You are a very confused young man or I don't get it. You bash your graduation empowering your atheist ego and then join a RELIGIOUS college. I am so sorry your parents confused your gentle soul. I will have you in my prayers tonight , If you like it or not. May God Bless your life with sucess in your career and join a good biblical class in the Presbyterian college and only the truth will set you free of all the nonsense your parents have taught you. GOD BLESS AND HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!

N* engine removal - newbee
Hi All!
A while ago I remember seeing a post on one of the Cadillac boards (this one, I believe) detailing the removal sequence for the N* engine. I have a 93 Seville with the head gasket problem. I remember the post detailing things like leaving the air conditioning system intact and being able to remove the drive train from the bottom in like four hours with the aid of a lift. Being new here, I have looked long and hard for a way to search this board but have come up empty. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Re: N* engine removal - newbee
Yes, there are lots of threads detailing drivetrain removal, but your best bet would be to look on eBay and find a GM/Helm Factory Service Manual (or www.helminc.com) or subscribe your car for a year or 3 to www.alldatadiy.com .
That way you have all the procedures as well as torque settings and diagrams, including electrical. For a first-timer it will take 2 days to get the drivetrain on the rollers, 4 days to do the machine work, and 2 days back in. Take your time and check everything twice. If you had no excess oil consumption problems or leaks, leave the lower end alone. It's bulletproof, and machine shops equipped to handle the crank and rods are very few and far between. GM does not even recommend machining the crank or rods - replacement and BIG $$$$.
Re: N* engine removal - newbee
Four hours is an experienced time. The first time I did it, it took me 3 days, second time was 1 day, and third time was 7 hours (including eating lunch and waiting a couple hours for a pallet jack to arrive).
Even the Helms FSM doesn't go into very much detail. It tells you what to disconnect, but not how or why. So you have to use your own judgment for most of it. My advice is to go out and buy some penetrating lubricant (ZEP 45 or something) and a bottle of anti-seize prior to doing the job. The car has been together like that for 16 years, chances are it wants to stay together like that rather than cooperate with you. The anti-seize can be put on everything but the head bolts (or studs) when reassembling. The object is to make it as easy as possible for yourself if you have to dig into it again.
To leave the A/C intact you're going to have to remove the alternator and the bracket just below the alternator. As you're lowering the cradle, you will gain the clearance and slack you need to get the compressor out of the way. You might have to remove the intake manifold and disconnect the positive cable from the starter as well because with it connected it will be looped around the A/C tubing when you drop the cradle. The intake manifold will be no big deal at that point anyway because you will have already disconnected pretty much everything from it, save for a couple of small coolant hoses, so it will be just 4 bolts and the hoses and it will be out.
Here's some links to my threads:

Re: N* engine removal - newbee
The thread you saw may have been on a different forum.
The wiring on the 93 is harder to remove. You will spend a fair amount of time carefully removing it. As other people said, the first time takes much longer. Don't rush it, keep your parts separated so you don't waste time when you reinstall them.

Re: N* engine removal - newbee
Or you could repair them in the car as I do. There is PLENTY of room and it's a lot easier than taking a chance on ruining your wiring harness, not to mention all the time you save by not messing with unhooking everything.
Re: N* engine removal - newbee
I had no choice to bump this thread because Caddy forums won't let me send PM's.
Is there any write-up on here explaining any details of doing the repair with the engine in the car? I see that you mention it several times in several different threads that it can be done without too many problems. I have also see your brief YouTube videos. What is the hardest part of doing it that way? Do I have to evac the A/C system still?
I'm near Detroit but I just can't afford to spend $2100USD to have Jake do it at his shop plus the cost of getting the car there.
Re: N* engine removal - newbee
Here's my thread, in case you or anyone else is interested. I had a challenges, and made a few mistakes, which I documented, but in the end, things worked out great, and I drove the car to work today - I'm just shy of 160K miles.

Re: N* engine removal - newbee
I would think doing it in the car would be next to impossible. Mainly because to set the timing you need access to the front of then engine. You might be able to tilt the engine forward enough by loosening the majority of the bolts and do it that way but I would say setting timing would be next to impossible with the engine in the car. Removal isnt as bad as it sounds. My biggest problem was reinstalling the steering wheel back believe it or not. It almost seems like it was press fitted onto the rack. I believe every cuss word I knew came flying out of my mouth that day. I'm not looking forward to this particular part of the job honestly :-( when I have to redo some of the things that were done wrong the first time. I too will be removing my engine yet again it seems.

Re: N* engine removal - newbee
There is a lot of personal opinion on this. Here's what I understand from the forums:
Jake pulls the engine from the top:
Pros: able to change oil pan gasket and half case seal
Cons: hard to reach some bolts so finding the combination of extensions/sockets/swivels is time consuming. Somewhat tricky to pull out? (Jake keeps the tools set up for next job,this is his job and he has developed techniques to do it this way) Engine hoist needed. Engine stand needed.
Mike Lawson does in the car:
Pros: less space needed, don't have to disconnect as much
Cons: Harder to set timing, hard to work over the fender, hard to drill/tap the rear deck, hard to install rear head if you use studs.
(Mike does this as a job and similar to Jake, he has done it many times and has his techniques developed)
Dropping the cradle:
Pros: This is the way it was designed to come out. Easy to get at everything and easy to set cam timing. Easy to do rear head. No engine stand needed. Less chance of screwing up something.
Cons:More things to disconnect. AC may be disconnected (it may be possible to pull without disco) More space required. Engine hoist needed.
I gave you a quick run down of the pro's and cons. My recommendation for someone doing one for themselves is drop the cradle and do it right. Trying to do it in the car is possible and does get done but for one job it is definitely the harder way.

Re: N* engine removal - newbee
+1 for dropping the cradle - don't let it intimidate you, I dropped the cradle on my first N* and COULD NOT believe how easy it was to disassemble/reassemble (tedious but easy). It's almost always easier if you do it the way it was designed to be done.

The strategic role of relational bonding in interorganizational collaborations: An empirical study of the global construction industry
This article proposes that relational bonding, a concept that measures the strength of a collaborative relationship, mediates between ex-ante alliance variables, namely compatibility, role clarity, resource interdependence, and termination costs and collaborative behavioral processes. The authors theorize bonding to be manifest through two underlying dimensions, namely trust and commitment, and empirically substantiate this assertion.

Direct High frequency is an advanced facial treatment which benefits most skin types, but in particular it helps clear up skin conditions such as acne and hormonal breakouts. Direct High Frequency uses a glass mushroom shaped electrode filled with argon gas. As the High frequency current is passed down the electrode an oxygen pocket is created between the electrode and the skin causing the oxygen to become unstable and turn into ozone. Ozone is highly antibacterial in nature and also, the direct current helps dry out spots and has an antibacterial effect, so is good for oilier skins or those with a few specific acne blemishes.
The high-frequency machine utilizes the ozone gas in the form of neon or argon to kill germs and bacteria which cause the spread of inflammation and pustules. It closes pores after extractions, and cauterizes any exposed blemishes. High-frequency can also be used for normal skin, to tone, tighten, and stimulate natural collagen formation

Photo Book Design Corner
Even in a photo book, we sometimes need to add text. For those occasions, PixPublisher allows you to easily add text captions to any page.
- ·         Start by clicking on the tab along the left side of your screen marked TEXT.
- ·         On that tab you'll see an icon with a T on it. Click on that icon, drag it over to your page and drop it roughly where you'd like the caption to be.
- ·         This will add a text placeholder onto your page that looks something like this
- ·         To edit the text, just double-click in the placeholder and enter your text.
- ·         You have several options for entering text. You can type it in manually, or you can copy and paste it from somewhere else.
- ·         If you would like to change the color, style, or size of just a portion of your text, you can do that also.
- ·         Just select the portion of text you'd like to change.
- ·         Click on the font size, color or style you would like to set it to on the toolbar that appears next to your selected text caption. You can change multiple settings if you wish.
- ·         You'll see the selected text change accordingly. In this case I made the selected text larger, italicized and red.
The ability to change portions of your text makes it easier for you to call attention to certain words in your captions, or to emphasize certain words or letters as a style choice.Â
* Please note that you are not able to change the font within a portion of selected text at this time.
When you add a text caption to a page, the caption will be set to the default for that book. In other words, if the standard text for that book is set to 26pt Arial in Medium Gray, and new captions you create will automatically be created at 26pt Arial in Medium Gray.
If you decide you'd like to add multiple captions in a different style, make your changes, and then click on the copy style option on the toolbar next to the selected text. This will replace the default style with the one you have selected. Any new text captions you drag onto your pages will automatically take on this new style.

- muscle atrophy
Myostatin is a powerful negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass in mammalian species. It plays a key role in skeletal muscle homeostasis and has now been well described since its discovery. Myostatin is capable of inducing muscle atrophy via its inhibition of myoblast proliferation, increasing ubiquitin-proteasomal activity and downregulating activity of the IGF–Akt pathway. These well-recognized effects are seen in multiple atrophy causing situations, including injury, diseases such as cachexia, disuse and space flight, demonstrating the importance of the myostatin signalling mechanism. Based on this central role, significant work has been pursued to inhibit myostatin's actions in vivo. Importantly, several new studies have uncovered roles for myostatin distinct from skeletal muscle size. Myostatin has been suggested to play a role in cardiomyocyte homeostasis, glucose metabolism and adipocyte proliferation, all of which are examined in detail below. Based on these effects, myostatin inhibition has potential to be widely utilized in many Western diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type II diabetes and obesity. However, if myostatin inhibitors are to successfully translate from bench-top to bedside in the near future, awareness must be raised on these non-traditional effects of myostatin away from skeletal muscle. Indeed, further research into these novel areas is required.

Fintel Library's Main Floor is undergoing a makeover this summer. Our goal is to change the floor from being collection oriented to being engagement oriented.
New elements, some of which may need to be phased in, will include an expanded Cafe, a Collaboration Zone, a Focused Study Zone, and an Information Commons. Conceptual drawings are show below. Some details may change in the latter stages of the design process but these images highlight some of the major concepts to be implemented.
Out with the old? Well, not quite:
The Fintel Library staff looks forward to welcoming you to a whole new experience!
The Information Commons will include a custom PC area. There will be more PCs, a laptop counter, a custom print station, and modules for group work. The Focused Study Zone is an area with traditional seating for those who want to study in a livelier setting. [The Second Floor remains your refuge for Quiet Study.]

People who state this however, often are the same type of people who feel the need to constantly make their orientation everyone else's business by stating it every five minutes. And then when one person confronts them negatively about it, suddenly it isn't anyone else's business.

Sexual taste is between that person and their partner. Period.

Amen! I don't say what my orientation is unless someone asks me. I just don't feel the need to announce it to everyone.
Love it ! Can I make a similar one please? ;w;
I mean, I am not into my own sex, but I hate it when people ask me if I am gay/lesbian/transsexual for not wearing makeup, having short hair, and not using beauty products. And not dressing girly, my gosh...
I LOVE THIS! This is the unbeatable argument for gay marriage.
Thank you for saying so!

Agreed! The only time it matters is when you have sex with the person, and even then it's no big deal! Thanks for this stamp, this needed to be said and heard!

I often feel that social marketing is not replacing elements of business and society, but filling a human gaps that have been created.
- As community is less prevelant in the physical world and therefore social networking fills that gap.
- As commuity identify wanes because of (1) does our social life fill that identity gap.
- As life moves from rural to city dwelling and we become more lonely yet surrounded by people does social media act as our social glue?
- As capitalism brings more choice, does Google act as our human filter for choice overload.
- As our jobs market moves from production to creation does the social web become our factory of ideas.
- As we live further from each other, does the social web act as a virtual sitting room.
- As we move from having family to ask as we live further apart, Google fills a knowledge gap.
- As entertainment becomes more expensive – You Tube, Pinterest, social media fills our social need.
- As work becomes more automated, ideas and knowledge become the currency for success – collaboration and sharing become the new ATM's for them.
- As the business market extends past local, national to global, social media acts as a bridge to global connection.

12th International Music Festival
Chopin and His Europe
From Italy to Poland – from Mozart to Bellini
Warsaw, 15–30 August 2016
The 12th edition of the Festival is the next in a series of confrontations between the music of Chopin and that of the composers closest to his heart – Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Bellini, Jírovec; it also traces the various influences on Chopin's music, as well as that of Chopin's music on the works of other composers; it features Chopin's favorite musical genres – opera, art song, concerto, chamber music; finally, it showcases a phenomenon popular in the 19th century, consisting of arrangements, paraphrases and variations on the themes of the best-known works from that era. It also undertakes daring – though risky, and thereby provocative as well – transformations of Chopin's masterpieces into another type sound. All of this in masterful renditions on both contemporary and historical instruments. A great wealth of various performances styles – especially of music by the festival's patron – will be heard in the interpretations of laureates of the most recent Chopin Competition, both on Steinways and Yamahas, and on Erards, Pleyels and Broadwoods.
The 2016 edition of Chopin and His Europe will feature the festival's traditional great performances…:
- The worldwide piano elite – stars from the most important concert halls, among them Martha Argerich, Katia and Marielle Labèque, Nelson Goerner, Till Fellner, Jan Lisiecki, Jonathan Plowright and Yulianna Avdeeva.
- Laureates of the most recent Chopin Competition – including the three top prizewinners: Seong-Jin Cho, Charles Richard-Hamelin, Kate Liu – in recitals, chamber concerts and concerts with orchestra.
- Extraordinary chamber concerts – performances by the most distinguished quartet ensembles: the Belcea Quartet (Corina Belcea, Axel Schaher, Krzysztof Chorzelski, Antoine Lederlin), Apollon Musagète (Paweł Zalejski, Bartosz Zachłod, Piotr Szumieł, Piotr Skweres), the Szymanowski Quartet (Agata Szymczewska, Grzegorz Kotow, Volodia Mykytka, Marcin Sieniawski) and Quatuor Mosaïques; as well as a chamber ensemble comprised of: Marcin Zdunik ('cello), Kuba Jakowicz (violin), Janusz Wawrowski (violin), Katarzyna Budnik-Galazka (viola), Łukasz Długosz (flute) and Paweł Wakarecy (piano).
- Symphonic concerts: the European Union Youth Orchestra under the baton of Vasily Petrenko, Sinfonia Varsovia under the baton of Grzegorz Nowak, and the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Jacek Kaspszyk.
- Historically-informed performance – Fabio Biondi's legendary Europa Galante ensemble, Václav Luks' Collegium 1704, the Amphion Wind Octet, pianists Andreas Staier and Tobias Koch; as well as Quatuor Mosaïques (Erich Hobarth, Andrea Bischof, Anita Mitterer, Christophe Coin), an ensemble specializing in historical performance practice, formed by members of Nicolaus Harnoncourt's legendary Concentus Musicus Wien.
…. and its traditional rich and extraordinary program:
- Vincenzo Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi for the first time in Poland, a complete performance on historical instruments – the Europa Galante returns after its sensational performance of Bellini's Norma in 2010;
- Gioachino Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia the first performance in Poland of this opera hit in a version by Vincenzo Gambaro for wind octet, considered by Rossini himself to be better than the original;
- Gaetano Donizetti's Requiem a work written for Bellini's funeral, for the first time on historical instruments at the Holy Cross Basilica in the presence of Chopin's heart;
- Song Recitals – the extraordinary Ian Bostridge (tenor) and recitals by Mariusz Godlewski (baritone) and Iwona Sobotka (soprano) – a presentation of the most beautiful European art song repertoire of the 19th century;
- Chopin's Preludes in a version for symphony orchestra – in an arrangement by Jean Françaix from 1967;
- Chopin's contemporary Otto Nicolai (1810–1849) – fantasy on Bellini's Norma for piano and orchestra;
- About Paganini's 'Italian' caprice: Boris Blacher – Variations for Orchestra, Witold Lutosławski – Variations for Piano and Orchestra;
- Vojtěch Matyáš Jírovec, Piano Concerto, a work from the repertoire of Fryderyk Chopin;
- Well-known and lesser-known Polish music – aside from Chopin: Feliks Dobrzyński, Stanisław Moniuszko, Ludomir Różycki, Karol Rathaus, Witold Lutosławski…;
- Chopin recitals in the presence of the composer's heart: 10 recitals by young pianists on a 19th-century instrument – at the Holy Cross Basilica at 10:00 PM;

Serengeti safari...
... is one of the ultimate safari experiences in Africa, this is the mother of all parks, the wildlife spectacle here is second to none, the range of camps and lodges superb and the much vaunted crowds are easily avoided if you know how to plan your safari properly.
Serengeti National Park is a very substantial conservation area, the undisputed highlight of the wonderful Northern Tanzania safari area and surely the greatest wildlife reserve in East Africa.
Most people think of the Serengeti as being a vast endless grassy plain, but in reality the ecosystem is comprised of a wide range of landscapes, with areas of acacia forest, riverine vegetation, soda lakes and granite mountains. Each area has its own different character and range of wildlife and it is often worth combining two or three different areas in a single safari in order to take advantage of this variety.
Of course the area is best known for its enormous wildebeest migration, in which close on 2.5 million herbivores munch their way along an 800km route around the greater Serengeti, driven by the continuous search for drinking water and the quality of grazing. The main body of the migration is formed by around 1.7 million wildebeest, who are rather dull-headed creatures, It is the 500,000 zebras who appear to be the main decision makers in terms of routes and timings.
The migration is accessible for most of the year, although you do have to plan your safari to be in the right places at the right times. The three main highlights are the calving season Dec/Mar, the rut Mar/May and river crossings Jun/Oct.
Another major reason to safari in the Serengeti is the incredible density of predators, with strong sightings being anticipated year round. During the Jul/Oct dry season the densities of these animals in central areas can verge on the ridiculous, it is not uncommon to see in excess of a hundred lions, twenty cheetahs, two or three leopards and countless spotted hyenas in a single day
Whilst it is easy to get wrapped up in the pursuit of the migration herds and their attendant predators, it is worth bearing mind that many parts of the Serengeti are great for wonderful landscapes, a much wider range of wildlife and a really lovely safari atmosphere. It really is a place worthy of a prolonged stay.
When to visit ...
Safari in the Serengeti is extremely seasonal, you really do have to plan carefully if you want to experience the various major wildlife events. Unusually, the area is superb to visit virtually year round, but the key events and areas are ever-changing.
Read more about when to visit the Serengeti ...
If you already know what time of year you want to visit, then the following section will tell you more about what is happening at that time ...
Read more about seasonality in the Serengeti ...
Areas ...
We divide Serengeti into a total of eight sub-areas, each of which have their own very different character and safari seasonality. Most guests combine one, two or three of these areas into their trip ...
Serengeti Mara ... is the prime area for migration viewing and river crossings during the Jul/Oct dry season. At other times of year it is a wonderful remote area with good resident wildlife. The area has some truly exceptional but inherently expensive camps.
Serengeti Southwest ... is a major centre for migration action during the calving season Dec/Apr, also with a great range of seasonal tented camps and a couple of permanent lodges.
Serengeti Southeast ... is a very quiet backwater which can also be a centre for migration action during this Dec/Apr calving season, but much less predictably. Great if you want to get out on your own.
Serengeti Southcentral ... is a pivotal area which also experiences major migration action during the Dec/Mar calving season and is great for palaeontology, geology, Maasai interaction and walking safari year round.
Serengeti Central ... has the most reliable wildlife viewing year round, with the migration tending to pass through Apr/Jun and Nov/Dec. But this is also the busiest area, so lodge selection and route planning are really important.
Serengeti West ... tends to experience the migration May/Jun, with the tail end of the rut and possibilities of modest crossings on the Grumeti River. At other times of year it's not generally one of the strongest area.
Serengeti Grumeti ... borders the national park to the north-west and offers some of the most exclusive and high-priced safari camps in the region, centred on migration action May/Jun, but attractive year round and with a wide range of activities.
Serengeti North ... tends to experience unpredictable and often less than totally impressive migration action Jun/Jul and Oct/Dec. The area tends to be relatively little-visited, with most people treating it as something of a transit route.
How we like to include the Serengeti safari in trips ...
Serengeti is one of our favourite wildlife areas, one of those places that you simply have to visit to at some point in your life and somewhere to which you will probably need to return.
Although it is so well known and attracts such a relatively high number of visitors, it remains more than capable of delivering extremely high quality safari experiences. Fortunately 90% of the visitor traffic in the reserve is usually contained within just 10% of the land area, so it really is more than possible to get away from the crowds and right out on your own, even in peak season.
We usually find that longer and slower safaris are best, with a number of more remote camps and lodges being connected by means of little-used back-tracks. A world apart from the conventional dash up and down the main roads.
The reserve is usually best visited as part of an longer overland journey through the fabulous Tanzania North region, combining it with areas such as Ngorongoro and Tarangire to make a safari of 7 to 12 nights, of which usually around half are deployed in the Serengeti.
We often replace some of the less interesting overland legs with short light aircraft flights, which not only reduces the arduousness of the journey, but can also make it possible to combine more remote and alluring areas.
We also like to encourage our guests to include as wide a range of activities as possible, seeking out lodges and camps where walking safari, night vehicle safari, balloon safari, horse-back safari and cultural interaction are possible.
The Serengeti is best known for its authentic seasonal tented mobile camps, which are completely removed from the parks during the low seasons. We strongly recommend that you include at least one of these, even if you are not usually the camping type.
The majority of visitors to the Serengeti area tend to combine with some or all of Ngorongoro Crater safari, Tarangire safari, Lake Natron safari and Lake Manyara safari to make a total of 7 to 14 nights in the region.
Some visitors also combine with options further afield including Kilimanjaro treks in the northeast of the country, Ruaha safari and Selous safari to the south, Katavi safari and Mahale Mountains chimpanzee safari out west, Maasai Mara safari over the border in Kenya and Virunga Mountains gorilla safari over in Rwanda.
These mainland areas are also commonly combined with nights down on the Tanzania Coast, especially on Zanzibar Island, Pemba Island, Mafia Island or Fanjove Island, usually in trips of 10 to 21 nights.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson and wide receiver Jeremy Kerley are listed as probable for the game at Washington, while defensive lineman Mike DeVito has been ruled out with a knee injury.
Tomlinson and Kerley practiced all week after missing two games with sprained medial collateral ligaments in their left knees, suffered against New England on Nov. 13. Coach Rex Ryan says Friday that Tomlinson will return to his role as the Jets' third-down back, while Kerley will be the No. 3 receiver and handle punt return duties.
DeVito has not practiced since spraining the MCL in his left knee against Buffalo last Sunday. He missed two games this season with a similar injury to his right knee. DeVito will be replaced by rookie Kenrick Ellis.

Received a photo of this tree as background in an advertising email from a gardening site back in spring; however, when I emailed them to ask what it was, I never received a response.
Does anyone here have any idea what it is? Some type of cherry or quince?I'd love to consider planting something like it, so if you have any other suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them as well. Thanks for the help!
You may have to view the original on Picasa to get in close, but it has pink flowers with five leaves (looks to be single) on cherry-like bark just as the leaves are coming out.
I'd punt on it being an Almond or a Peach tree.
It could be a cherry I guess, I don't think it's a quince though (not the ones I've seen anyway.)
a long shot, but this looks similar -prunus persica – 'bonfire'
Thanks so much graibeard and TeresaGreen! Reviewing the great internetz it does look like either an almond or a peach and the 'Bonfire' peach is a particularly attractive option. I'm already looking forward to spring! Thanks so much for the help.

ABB Ltd.
announced that its has signed an agreement to divest Thomas &
Betts' heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) business
Nortek Inc.
). The deal is an all-cash transaction valued at $260 million and
is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.
The strategic decision to divest the HVAC business has come
after a careful consideration through the continuous process of
portfolio optimization. Management at ABB believes that this
business had restricted synergies to the company's core
portfolio, proving it to be more of a drag for the company.
However, ABB intends to continue to supply its high efficiency
electrical motors and industry leading drives as well as its low
voltage products range to the HVAC industry.
In fiscal 2012, ABB had primarily acquired Thomas & Betts
to expand its reach in the Low Voltage Products segment across
key geographies such as, North America, Europe and Asia. The
combination of ABB's low-voltage protection, control and
measurement products with the electrical components business of
Thomas & Betts has created a broad portfolio of products.
On the other hand, the acquisition of the HVAC business is a
perfect fit for Nortek's existing line of heating and air
conditioning products. This Rhode Island-based company is a
leading manufacturer and marketer of remodeling and replacement,
residential and commercial new construction, manufactured housing
as well as personal and enterprise computer solutions.
This acquisition is likely to be integrated with the company's
Custom & Engineered Solutions segment which offers
custom-designed and engineered HVAC products and systems for
healthcare and educational facilities, commercial offices,
manufacturing facilities, clean rooms, data centers and
governmental buildings.
Following this divestiture, ABB intends to continue to focus
on its electrical business and cater to the approximately $24
billion potential North American market, that ABB acquired access
to after the purchase of Thomas & Betts.
ABB currently holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). However, other
stocks which are worth considering at the moment are
Quanta Services, Inc
. (
) and
Enersys Inc
. (
), both carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The General Assembly wants the state treasurer to have more leeway to invest pension fund money.
The Senate gave final legislative approval Tuesday to allow Janet Cowell's office to invest up to 10 percent of retirement funds in things like timberland, commodities and securities rated below investment grade.
The House agreed to the changes last week. The bill now heads to Gov. Beverly Perdue's desk.
Cowell's office has said she needs more flexibility to keep returns at or above what's needed to meet long-term retiree obligations.
The retirement system remains one of the nation's healthiest public pension funds even though it's lost a combined $21 billion between early 2008 and March of this year due to lagging stock and
real estate markets.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Scotty Brooks' fatal mistake
Kevin Durant drove to a dunk that drew the Thunder within 96-95 with 44 seconds left in the game, and you thought maybe the Boomers' all-game climb might end in glory. Thought the Thunder might knock off the Heat in front of the biggest crowd in Miami indoor history and a snowed-in, nationwide audience watching the NBA's two best teams.
But in those final 44 seconds, especially the next 19 seconds, Miami had a huge advantage. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had his best players on the floor. Scotty Brooks did not.
Miami called timeout, and for the game's biggest possession, Spoelstra inserted Ray Allen for Shane Battier. That gave the Heat a lineup of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers and Allen. Brooks stayed with his lineup of Durant, Westbrook, Kevin Martin, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka.
With the shot clock winding down, LeBron had the ball isolated on the left wing. Through switches, Westbrook guarded LeBron, which frankly, is not the worst matchup for the Thunder. No Boomer really can handle LeBron alone. Durant was dogging Wade. Martin was on Allen. Perk defended Bosh. And Ibaka was on Chalmers.
Forget everything else, for a moment. Ibaka was guarding Chalmers not because of switches. Ibaka was guarding Chalmers because Brooks chose to keep two big men on the floor, while the Heat had just Bosh. Ibaka is a wonderful player, with so many attributes it's probably not fair. Someone asked me Tuesday if Ibaka is a better player than Bosh, straight up, and the answer is yes. Ibaka is better. But when Ibaka is guarding Chalmers 25 feet from the basket, Ibaka's value is diving toward nil.
OK, so you know what happened next. Perkins, sensing that LeBron was about to drive on Westbrook, moved over to help against the surely-coming attack. Bosh zipped to the basket, no Thunder teammate rotated, LeBron's pinpoint pass found Bosh for an easy dunk and virtually every blue jersey sniped at Martin for not rotating, though I didn't see why Martin was in any better shape to rotate than was Durant.
When Durant and Westbrook missed 3-point shots on the next possession, the game was over.
But here's my question. With 44 seconds left in the game, after a timeout, with a Heat possession in which OKC absolutely had to have a stop to have its best shot at victory, why was the Thunder's best defender not on the floor? Why was Thabo Sefolosha sitting on the bench?
Brooks doesn't like to situationally substitute, and I suppose there's something to that theory. Certainly helps the flow of the game when the same group can play minute after minute. But in the final minute, there is no flow. Basketball becomes a football game. A play, then a huddle. A play, then a huddle.
Miami had just called timeout. After the Heat's possession, the Thunder called timeout. If you don't want Thabo in on offense, fine (though that's not necessarily an automatic call, either). But at least have him on defense. Maybe it's Thabo that ends up on LeBron on the left wing, and Perk is a little less quick to be ready for a double team. Or maybe it's Thabo in the middle, whose job it is to rotate.
I don't get it. Thabo played 27:38 against the Heat. He came out of the game with 5:29 left in the third quarter and did not return. That seems crazy to me. Your best perimeter defender, against the league champion, a team filled with great perimeter playmakers and great outside shooters, doesn't play the final 171/2 minutes.
In the plus/minus category, the only Thunder starter who had a plus was Thabo: +2. The Thunder outscored Miami by two with Sefolosha on the court. Nick Collison was a +4. No surprise there. Reggie Jackson was a +1 in 13 minutes. Everyone else was a minus. Westbrook, who played poorly, was a -9. Ibaka and Martin were both -8. Perk and Durant were -6.
Brooks has his reasons for sitting down Thabo for long stretches. But there is NO reason to sit him in the game's critical possession, when the opponent has the ball. Frankly, Brooks saying the Thunder is a defensive team with a defensive mentality, is all just talk at such junctures. A defensive team would not go without its best defender.
You know me. I'm all about Thabo getting more minutes in general. But absolutely Brooks has to adjust and substitute situationally more in the final minutes of close games. Else Thabo Sefolosha will find himself sitting for the game's most important possessions.
