We analyze the finite-size corrections to the free energy of crystals with a fixed center of mass. When we explicitly correct for the leading (ln N/N) corrections, the remaining free energy is found to depend linearly on 1/N. Extrapolating to the thermodynamic limit (N -->infinity), we estimate t...
Determination of the optical properties of turbid media using relative interstitial radiance measurements
Interstitial quantification of the optical properties of tissue is important in biomedicine for both treatment planning of minimally invasive laser therapies and optical spectroscopic characterization of tissues, for example, prostate cancer. In a previous study, we analyzed a method first demonstra...
Samples of the stable Al75Pd15Fe10 decagonal quasicrystal have been studied both in the as-cast state and after annealing.

SOCAR makes strides in expanding ops in Europe
Azerbaijani state oil company SOCAR, which is the main producer of hydrocarbons in the country, actively continues to strengthen its position on the international markets.
The company, which is already among the world`s largest oil and gas companies, has made big steps forward in expanding its activities not only in the region, but also in such parts of the world as Europe.
Today SOCAR has its own gas stations in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine. The company has also acquired 14 gas stations in Romania and made an important and significant progress in its expansion goal by signing an agreement with Exxon Mobil to acquire its Swiss branch called Esso Schweiz GmbH. Following the acquisition of Esso Switzerland, SOCAR has taken over a retail network consisting of 170 gas stations, a fuel marketing division for industry and wholesale clients and a range of other oil and gas infrastructure assets.
SOCAR believes that the company`s entry into markets of Switzerland and Romania allows it to examine the European experience and consider the possibility of expanding markets in Austria, Hungary and several Balkan countries.
SOCAR`s existing network of petrol stations across Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Romania, as well as the company`s new Swiss business are ``just the start of the story,`` Deputy Vice President of SOCAR, Vitaly Baylarbayov says.
``The strategy of the State Oil Company is obviously to expand its geography, first with regional expansion and then further to Europe and the rest of the world,`` Baylarbayov said in interview with Financial Times published on June 19.
SOCAR is one of the partners in the giant project on development of the Shah Deniz gas condensate field in Azerbaijan. The field`s second phase of development is another opportunity for SOCAR to reach attractive European market. Some 10 billion cubic meters per year that will be exported to the EU countries within the Shah Deniz 2 project are currently basic volumes for implementation of the Southern Gas corridor projects.
Upcoming signing of the package of agreements on TANAP pipeline will be epochal event in its implementation.
Azerbaijani gas is now considered as an important source that will contribute to increasing security of energy supply for the European Union.
Moreover, according to Baylarbayov, Shah Deniz 2 project will also create the possibilities for signing gas swap agreements, allowing SOCAR to enter British, European or any other market.
``We are co-operating with companies, who have significant interest in gas production in the North Sea: BP, Statoil and Total. The idea is to swap what they have with what we will have and in this way become a player on the UK market,`` Financial Times quotes Baylarbayov as saying.
Export of Azerbaijani gas to the European markets will significantly increase the strength of the country on the world energy market. And the country`s gas potential will enable it to preserve status of reliable supplier in the long-term perspective.
According to Baylarbayov, the second phase of Azerbaijani Shah Deniz gas condensate field development is not only project within which Azerbaijan is going to supply gas to its future buyers.
At present, Azerbaijan considers several options to export its gas to the European markets. The list of possible export routes is quite broad: it includes projects TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline), Nabucco (or the Nabucco West), and SEEP (South-Eastern Europe Pipeline). The choice between the projects aimed at transporting gas to Central European direction (Nabucco base case, Nabucco West and SEEP) will be made in the coming days. The final decision on a pipeline route to export Azerbaijani gas to the European markets is expected to be made by Shah Deniz Consortium in 2013.

LAMPS PLUS Blog Policies
One of my favorite elements of our new loft home is our contemporary lighting. It really is the cherry on top of your decor. Unless you can customize all the overhead lighting in your home, which we as renters certainly cannot, you must create personality and atmosphere in your space through lighting. (You may have seen a sneak preview of our DIY chandelier a few months ago.)
If you've ever dropped by Apartment34.com, you might have noticed that my husband and I have moved three times in the last year; first from Seattle and then into two different spots in San Francisco. The new loft is not too small, it's not too big. It's just right and I'm so excited to reveal it! Take a peek at our bedroom and living room:
When we selected our "loft lights" we focused on a few key elements that I recommend everyone keep in mind. These are my top 3 contemporary lighting tips:
Tip #1: Indirect Is BestAn abundance of lamps lets you create a warm and welcoming glow in your space, rather than be subject to a harsh glare. Dot corners, hallways and bookcases with lamps and you'll be able to create the perfect ambience.
Tip #2: Use A Lamps as a Statement-MakerWe selected the Jumbo Architect Floor Lamp for the standout statement it would make in our living room. We loved the oversized piece's twist on the standard arc lamp that you might expect to see in a modern space. We found the super-sized option to be more playful and fun.
Tip #3: Mix and MatchLamps, like jewelry, are the ultimate accessory. You can use them to change the tone of any room. I played with different lamp styles all over the loft to give an organic feel to our design. While each one selected fell within the general contemporary style, the Jonathan Adler Table Lamps look nothing like the lamp in our living room, but the both serve to reinforce our relaxed, modern style.

What is a Dry-Leaf kick, you may well ask. The answer is that the moniker is a literal translation from the Portuguese--Folha Seca--meaning a dry leaf. As anyone who has taken a fall season walk on a tree-lined path well knows, a dry leaf in flight soars and then dips unpredictably. Imagine if you could routinely get a football to fly toward goal with that unpredictability. You would be the scourge of all goalkeepers.
Enabling and controlling that type of flight was what Brazilian and Real Madrid (1959-60) midfield maestro Valdir Pereira, better known as Didi, said his shots could do. The Golden Ball winner, for the best player at the 1958 World Cup, then spent a post-1962 World Cup lifetime showing young players how to replicate his original shot.
Today, any number of top players has the Folha Seca in his arsenal and among those who do are stars who could tip the scales in their countries' favor with just such a free-kick in a crucial match. Among the best are Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, Italy's Andrea Pirlo, Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba, Brazil's Neymar, and Uruguay's Diego Forlan.
The kick is so spectacular and deadly when done at the highest levels that Ronaldo's version has been scientifically studied.
So in a World Cup with so many spectacular match ups—Spain-Netherlands, Germany-Portugal, Italy-England—will a crucial free kick be the difference maker?
In World Cup history there have been 2208 goals scored, but how many of those have been free-kick goals and how many of those goals were game clinchers are not statistics FIFA can readily provide. But at 2.9 goals scored per match, all time, it is a good bet that a free-kick goal will play a major role in any match.
Since the best free kick takers are also Folha Seca experts, don't be surprised if, whatever the tournament's outcome may be, this World Cup becomes the tourney that was ruled by the Dry Leaf kick.

NCAA Testimonial: A Ram Remembrance
By Ari Weinberg
Watching the city of Richmond rally around the Virginia Commonwealth basketball team headed for the Final Four keeps bringing me back 26 years to when the Rams rallied for me.
I grew up in Richmond, a 3-point shot from the University of Richmond's home court. But every winter for 14 years, I made the trip downtown to the Richmond Coliseum, then the home of the Rams, for my first brush with fandom.
This was atypical. Most of our neighbors either backed Richmond or followed Virginia, Virginia Tech or even North Carolina.
Still, the late-1970s, early-'80s Rams played the best ball in town. (Richmond's mythic NCAA runs didn't start until 1984). So my father jumped on the bandwagon and took me, my brother or sister and any friends willing to make the trip downtown with him.
Those Rams teams made the NCAA tournament five times in six years, culminating in a second seed for the 1985 NCAA tournament and a No. 11 final regular-season ranking.
The Rams were mediocre for much of the following decade. Still, during those years, we would watch to the last buzzer, win or lose, and drive home listening to the post-game show.
Rarely did a big-name program or ranked team make it to the Richmond Coliseum. The only time Virginia Tech or UVa played the Rams came in the occasional year when they'd deign to appear in a local holiday invitational.
Pro talent graced the Coliseum floor even more rarely – Allan Houston and Tennessee made it through in 1992, but not many other future all-stars did. The Rams themselves only produced two NBA draft picks from 1987 to 2009, until current Oklahoma City guard Eric Maynor went 20th in the draft.
The VCU teams of my era, like the current team, were made up of dedicated local players, slighted big-school cast-offs and tough junior-college transfers. (The more recent wave of success has elevated the school's national recruiting profile.)
But the Rams' run this year keeps bringing back memories of those early '80s teams.
A story circulating among Rams faithful and just hitting the national press is that of VCU great Rolando Lamb and his buzzer-beater against Northeastern in the 1984 NCAA tournament. Lamb's son Jeremy is a star freshman for another Final Four team, Connecticut, coached by Jim Calhoun – Northeastern's coach in 1984.
But the elder Lamb and his teammates mean even more to me.
Lamb, Calvin Duncan and the late Mike Schlegel, along with then-coach J.D. Barnett, visited me in the hospital after I broke my hip in an accident following a Rams game in February 1985.
They brought me a team-signed ball, took some pictures and dedicated a game to me later that season. It was the team's last great campaign for several years.
Though my family has since moved from Richmond, we continue to carry the torch for VCU basketball. And every March we keep our eyes peeled for the Rams.
Other aspects of my personal Rams history are gone for good. Terry Sisisky, the team's long-time radio announcer and the voice of those drives home from the Coliseum, died last summer. And several of the people who sat with me at the game that night in 1985 have also died, including an old friend just last week.
I'm still glad to have these memories. And I have the 2010-11 Rams to thank for bringing it all back.

BBC Director quizzed Savile
A senior member of staff at the BBC has revealed he questioned Savile over rumours of abuse more than 20 years ago. Derek Chinnery, who as Radio 1 controller from 1978 to 1985 was Savile's boss, said he spoke to Savile about the rumours.

Savile abuse girl labelled 'delusional' after suicide
Mark Ufland, whose half-sister Claire killed herself in 1971 after revelations about sexual abuse at Top of the Pops, has spoken about how details of the allegations recorded in Claire's diary were dismissed by the coroner and how she was labelled a "delusional fifteen year old girl."
Despite the story being reported by newspapers at the time and a police investigation in which Mr Ufland says Sir Jimmy Savile was questioned no further action was taken.
Claire met Sir Jimmy and other DJs through her work as a dancer on Top of the Pops.
Ex-director at Top of the Pops: 'Police investigated and found nothing'
Stanley Dorfman, who was a director on the Top of the Tops has told ITV News that there was a police investigation in to the safety of young girls at the studios while he was there, but that they found nothing and left and that the investigation had nothing to do with Jimmy Savile.
Blackburn 'Savile was a master manipulator'
In a statement DJ Tony Blackburn said:
"All of us who worked at the BBC during the time of these heinous crimes owe it to the victims to speak to the police and the BBC Investigations Unit and help them in any way we can.
"Jimmy Savile was a master manipulator of the press and would do what he could to keep his image held high in the public conscience.
"It will be to the eternal regret of me and, I'm sure, so many of my BBC colleagues that he was allowed to get away with these monstrous acts."
Tony Blackburn 'disgusted by Savile actions'
In a statement Mr Blackburn said:
Mr Blackburn said he had never viewed Savile as a friend, saying:
BBC controller 'questioned Savile over rumours' 20 years ago

The combined solution for telecom, enterprise and cloud applications will be featured at Mobile World Congress and RSA Conference next week.
Paris (PRWEB) February 21, 2013
6WIND, the gold standard for data plane processing in software-defined networks, today announced the release of the 6WINDGate™ software on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, the world's leading open source platform for enterprises, providing a high-performance networking software solution for applications such as mobile infrastructure, network appliances and data center networking. The 6WINDGate networking software deployed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables equipment manufacturers to accelerate the development time for networking equipment that delivers critical CAPEX and OPEX improvements for service providers. 6WIND will be discussing the solution at two upcoming conferences: in booth #7A87 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and in booth #854 at RSA Conference in San Francisco.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) transforms the business model for networking, replacing the traditional, vertically-integrated model characterized by proprietary software running on proprietary hardware with a horizontally-disaggregated model comprising generic hardware platforms based on general purpose processors, as well as an OS or hypervisor to deploy applications. For both service providers and enterprise IT organizations, this results in improved CAPEX and OPEX, achieved through better utilization of their networking equipment, as well as the accelerated deployment of new features and services which boost the retention of high-value subscribers.
To be cost-effective, however, SDN-based equipment requires high-performance networking software running on commodity platforms based on generic hardware and industry-standard hypervisors. 6WIND is the only commercial provider of such software, with a proven history of successful deployments in service provider networks worldwide. 6WINDGate maximizes network performance, ensures unlimited scalability across blades or racks and accelerates advanced networking features such as policy enforcement and security.
"We are pleased to welcome 6WIND to our ecosystem of ISVs to help address customers' networking performance challenges," said Mike Werner, senior director, ISV and developer ecosystem, at Red Hat. "Red Hat Enterprise Linux has demonstrated industry-leading quality, stability and reliability through existing deployments in carrier grade environments. The availability of 6WINDGate as an application running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables organizations to implement high-performance networking features for wireless infrastructure, network appliances and IT data centers in multiple markets while leveraging the benefits of Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
"6WINDGate has been adopted by multiple tier-one equipment manufacturers and deployed in service provider networks throughout Asia, Europe and North America," said Eric Carmès, CEO of 6WIND. "Adding support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables our customers to accelerate the development of their products by leveraging an enterprise platform that has already been validated to provide best-in-class networking performance and carrier grade reliability."
Customers can now install 6WINDGate as a high-performance networking application on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This allows existing applications installed on the platform that are heavily dependent on network I/O to realize network performance benefits without any porting or additional development. Customers significantly accelerate their time-to-market while minimizing overall schedule risk. 6WIND is also engaged in engineering collaboration with the kernel.org upstream community, providing a roadmap for standard Linux kernel integration with 6WINDGate and ensuring seamless ongoing support.

After borrowing an old Mitchell 16mm from his school's communications department, independent filmmaker Alvin Case taught himself cinematography at a young age. He continued using 16mm and Super 8mm film into the 1990s when he started shooting video. Today, he speaks to Cooke about his decision to use a Cooke miniS4/i 18mm prime lens for shooting his upcoming psychological horror film.
As an independent filmmaker -- meaning I write and shoot and direct with a small team of regulars---I have to be conscious of cost when renting equipment. Happily I can now tell my production partners that the Cooke lenses are worth every penny of rental. I was impressed greatly by the smooth mechanics of the lenses, which made it very easy for me, as the sole operator on the camera, to work focus and aperture with one hand while panning. I can't think of any lens where I could have done that on the first take. As for the image capture, I have long admired the 'Cooke look' and was pleased to see it evident in a digital capture environment. Alvin Case - DP
Jeff Levine, AC and DIT for Variable - Cooke Lenses
"I just wanted to take a moment and compliment you guys on the quality of your lenses. We recently wrapped a job using the Cooke 5/i lenses for the first time and we were blown away by the performance and quality of the lens in every facet. I do not think we would have been able to achieve the look we wanted with any other lens set.
The Cooke look was evident and perfect for the aesthetic we were trying to convey. The skin tones in particular were simply beautiful and I've never used anything that has captured them quite as well."
Jeff Levine, AC and DIT for Variable
After receiving such a wonderful email, we had to talk to Jeff and find out more about this project….
"I've been in love with Cookes for a long time – glass is really important to me and I'm blown away by the quality and technique that goes into making each lens. The look of any story is paramount, and Cookes give a very honest and human look to images, particularly when shooting digitally – but they are also robust enough that I can rely on them in extreme conditions."
Greig Fraser, ACS, Zero Dark Thirty
Black Hawks and Poets
Greig Fraser started out as a stills photographer, studying at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. While working at a studio production company with both photographers and film makers, he realised he preferred the collaborative way in which the film makers worked, and switched specialisms. He began working with director friends on music videos, commercial spots and short films and gradually built his skillset and an impressive showreel. His cinematography credits include Bright Star, Killing Them Softly, Let Them In, Snow White and The Huntsman and, most recently, the Oscar-nominated Zero Dark Thirty. Here he shares his experiences with Cooke lenses.
"The Cooke S4 lenses are the ones I turn to when in a tough situation. If I am shooting directly into practical lights, into backlight or shooting with the sun in my face the S4 lenses can handle it. Flare is at a minimum and many times none existent, I love these lenses"
Gordon C Lonsdale, DOP, Bones
An Audience with Christian Berger
Award-winning cinematographer, director, producer, writer, film academy professor, developer of film technology ... Christian Berger has a storied career in film that spans over 40 years and continues to go from strength to strength. Here he talks about the importance of lighting, the wide-ranging effects of digital cameras, and how Cooke lenses have enhanced his most recent films, including Haneke's The White Ribbon – for which he was Oscar-nominated and received, beside many other awards, from the ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography 2010 – and the latest work, coming in 2013, (working title) The Notebook by director Janos Zsasz.
"I love Cookes for their rather�ineffable�quality I call " roundness or fullness" They seem to render skintones more faithfully and flatteringly. They are very very sharp – yet not clinical.�
I have had my S4i's for 4 years and I have never had any maintenance issues with them at all. When I first got them we had a truck knock the camera down with my 40mm on it. We had it checked out and it was perfect - it withstood the bang perfectly. More recently I was shooting "Dragonball Evolution" in Mexico under super dusty and rugged conditions and the lenses�performed flawlessly.�
I have used Cookes on the features Final Destination 1 and 3, Black Christmas, Willard, Kings Ransom, Dragonball Evolution and the TV movie A little Thing Called Murder, The New Beachcombers, and High Noon. and on the TV series, Tarzan, True Calling pilot, Out of Order, The Lone Gunmen pilot, Bionic Woman and coming this spring, Harper's Island."

World War II Heroes: The Full Impact - "D-Day to Victory"
The recent Channel 4 series World War II: The Last Heroes represented a powerful and novel way of bringing history to life. Latest generation slow-motion cameras and lenses were employed to capture in evocative detail the detonation and impact of real explosions of the same size and power of those actually experienced in World War II. Illustrating a series of moving interviews with aged Allied veterans, the explosions supplemented rare historic footage to tell the real-life stories of the survivors. Co-producers, Impossible Pictures in the UK and Entertainment One of Canada, approached DoP Jeremy Benning CSC�to lead the camera team and here he explains how they went about capturing these highly charged sequences.

Situation * Task * Action * Result - Include these elements to tell a compelling story about what you have done that demonstrates your transferable skills. The STAR method works best for behavior-based questions that begin with "Tell me about a time when…" or "Describe a situation when…," but this approach is good to use whenever you find yourself sharing an example in response to a question.
Make sure to focus on what your role was when you are describing a team project. Don't forget to give a result or outcome. Even if the outcome wasn't positive, be prepared to discuss what you learned and what you would have done differently.
The best questions to ask allow you to:
Don't ask about:
These topics are more appropriate to discuss when you are offered the job and you know that the employer wants you to join their organization. If you discuss these topics prior to the job offer, the employer may think you are more interested in what the job has to offer you rather than the job itself.
Send a thank you letter. A thank you letter expresses appreciation, demonstrates professionalism, allows you to restate how your skills and background match the position, and affirms your interest and enthusiasm about the job. It also gives you an opportunity to add anything that is relevant to the position, but which you forgot or didn't have a chance to share during the interview. If you were interviewed by a panel, send a thank you letter to each member of the panel. A thank you letter also helps you stand out from the crowd!

CTSA News
(download this document in pdf format)
On June 4, 2012, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published a "Notification" entitled "Regarding the Book Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics by Sister Margaret A. Farley, R.S.M." The "Notification" judged that, in a number of respects, Professor Farley's book presents positions on matters of sexual ethics that are contrary to the teaching of the Magisterium.
We, the undersigned members of the Board of Directors of the Catholic Theological Society of America, wish to note that Professor Farley is a highly respected member of the theological community. A former President of the CTSA and a recipient of the Society's John Courtney Murray Award, she has devoted her life to teaching and writing on ethical issues and has done so in ways that have been reflective, measured, and wise. Her work has prompted a generation of theologians to think more deeply about the Christian meaning of personal relationships and the divine life of love that truly animates them. The judgment of the "Notification" that a number of Professor Farley's stated positions are contrary to the teaching of the Magisterium is simply factual. In our judgment, however, Professor Farley's purpose in her book is to raise and explore questions of keen concern to the faithful of the Church. Doing so is one very legitimate way of engaging in theological inquiry that has been practiced throughout the Catholic tradition.
The Board is especially concerned with the understanding of the task of Catholic theology presented in the "Notification." The "Notification" risks giving the impression that there can be no constructive role in the life of the Church for works of theology that 1) give voice to the experience and concerns of ordinary believers, 2) raise questions about the persuasiveness of certain official Catholic positions, and 3) offer alternative theological frameworks as potentially helpful contributions to the authentic development of doctrine. Such an understanding of the nature of theology inappropriately conflates the distinctive tasks of catechesis and theology. With regard to the subject matter of Professor Farley's book, it is simply a matter of fact that faithful Catholics in every corner of the Church are raising ethical questions like those Professor Farley has addressed. In raising and exploring such questions with her customary sensitivity and judiciousness, Professor Farley has invited us to engage the Catholic tradition seriously and thoughtfully.

SGD Downloads Site Temporarily Unavailable

The server that hosts SGD's download files was affected by a power outage over the weekend and is currently unavailable. We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
When Polymerases Collide
October 25, 2012
Lots of recent studies are showing that transcription happens over way more DNA than anyone previously thought. For example, the ENCODE project has shown that most of a genome gets transcribed into RNA in humans, fruit flies and nematodes. This transcriptional exuberance was recently confirmed in the yeast S. cerevisiae as well.
There is also a whole lot of antisense transcription going on. Taken together, these two observations suggest that there are lots of opportunities for two polymerases to run headlong into each other. And this could be a big problem if polymerases can't easily get past one another.
Imagine that the two polymerases clash in the middle of some essential gene. If they can't somehow resolve this situation, the gene would effectively be shut off. Bye bye cell!
Of course this is all theoretical at this point. After all, smaller polymerases like those from T3 and T4 bacteriophages manage to sneak past one another. It looks like this isn't the case for RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), though.
As a new study by Hobson and coworkers in Molecular Cell shows, when two yeast RNAPII molecules meet in a head on collision on the same piece of DNA, they have real trouble getting past each other. This is true both in vitro and in vivo.
For the in vivo experiments, the authors created a situation where they could easily monitor the amount of transcription close in and far away from a promoter in yeast. Basically they pointed two inducible promoters, from the GAL10 and GAL7 genes, at one another and eliminated any transcription terminators between them. They also included G-less cassettes (regions encoding guanine-free RNA) at different positions relative to the GAL10 promoter, so that they could use RNAse T1 (which cleaves RNA at G residues) to look at how much transcription starts out and how much makes it to the end.
When they just turned on the GAL10 promoter, they saw equal amounts of transcription from both the beginning and the end of the GAL10 transcript. But when they turned on both GAL10 and GAL7, they saw only 21% of the more distant G-less cassette compared to the one closer to the GAL10 promoter.
They interpret this result as meaning the two polymerases have run into each other and stalled between the two promoters. And their in vitro data backs this up.
Using purified elongation complexes, they showed that when two polymerases charge at each other on the same template, transcripts of intermediate length are generated. They again interpret this as the polymerases stopping dead in their tracks once they run into one another. Consistent with this, they showed that these stalled polymerases are rock stable using agarose gel electrophoresis.
Left unchecked, polymerases that can't figure out how to get past one another would obviously be bad for a cell. Even if it were a relatively rare occurrence, eventually two polymerases would clash somewhere important, with the end result being a dead cell. So how do cells get around this thorny problem?
One way is to get rid of the polymerases. The lab previously showed that if a polymerase is permanently stalled because of some irreparable DNA lesion, the cell ubiquitinates the polymerase and targets it for destruction. In this study they used ubiquitin mutants to show that the same system can work at these paused polymerases too. Ubiquitylation-compromised yeast took longer to clear the polymerases than did their wild type brethren.
The authors think that this isn't the only mechanism by which polymerases break free though. They are actively seeking factors that can help resolve these crashed polymerases. It will be interesting to see what cool way the cell has devised to resolve this dilemma.

Better Beer Through Beards
October 16, 2012
Small time craft brewers are always looking for ways to push the envelope of beer taste. They are trying to find variations in beer's fundamental ingredients — hops, barley, and yeast — that will make their beer distinctive. Of these three, the most important is probably yeast (of course, we're biased here at SGD!).
Something like 40-70% of beer taste comes from the yeast used to make it alcoholic. This is why brewers search high and low for new strains of yeast that will give their beer that special something which will make it stand out. They have looked on Delaware peaches, ancient twigs trapped in amber, Egyptian date palms, and in lots and lots of other places.
But brewers don't always have to go far away because sometimes the best yeast is right under their noses. Literally.
A brewery in Oregon found the yeast they were looking for in one of their master brewers' beards. They are now using this yeast to brew a new beer! This seems uniquely revolting but the beer supposedly is quite tasty. Perhaps if they don't advertise the source of their yeast, this beer could become popular.
They aren't sure where the yeast in his beard came from, but they think it may have come from some dessert he ate in the last 25 years or so (he hasn't shaved his beard since 1978). What would be fun is if his beard wasn't just an incubator, but a breeding ground for new yeast. Maybe yeast from a dessert from 1982 hooked up with a beer yeast blown into his beard while he was working at the brewery. The end result is a new improved hybrid yeast!
Of course we won't have any real idea about this yeast until we get some sequence data from it. And all kidding aside, the more yeast that are found that are good for making beer, the better the chances that scientists can home in on what attributes make them beer worthy. So this beard borne yeast may help many beers in the years to come despite its troubling beginning.
Perhaps brewers also need to start searching through more beards to look for likely beer yeast candidates. Beard microbiome project anyone?

At the Asian Art Museum. "In Grand Style" closes this Sunday (Jan 12). Through the art, "In Grand Style" explored four key themes: what it meant to be a king during the longest dynasty in Korean history; royal processions and banquets; women at the royal court; and the lives and celebrations of the Joseon dynasty's subjects.
The Joseon period has left a substantial legacy to modern Korea; much of modern Korean etiquette, cultural norms, societal attitudes towards current issues, and the modern Korean language and its dialects derive from the culture and traditions of Joseon. The exhibit is full of exquisite objects and gives the viewer a comprehensive look at the life lived by the elite.
Camille Holvoet at Creativity Explored. Camille Holvoet has worked at Creativity Explored for 12 years making brightly-colored, desirous cakes, and cross-eyed smiling figures in oil pastels and other media. This past year, she created a series of astounding and provocative self-portraits. The background of these drawings include scrawled narrative text and blunt statements of the artist's desires. While cheerful at first glance, these commanding graphic works also reveal Holvoet's experiences of living in mental institutions, frustrated sexuality, and vivid memories of childhood.
The exhibit also includes a new series of medication drawings depicting a myriad of cures for "Anti-Messy Room" to "Acceptance" (in both pill and liquid forms).
Karen Barbour at Fouladi Projects Gallery. In "No Should Be As Friendly as You" Barbour combines abstraction and realism a la Jawlensky to make portraits inspired by dreams and memories. Barbour is inspired by ongoing dreams and memories, both old and new, and the recollections play out on the paper and canvases like a narrative of her subconscious. The imagery is a bold and colorful surrealist mix of figures and abstractions, fluidly rendered with skillful combinations of gouache, ink, oil and collage.

New year, new work at Art Haus. More than a dozen of ArtHaus Gallery's artists are exhibiting new work for the new year with works in various media. Gallery artist Brian Blood's evocative paintings of Northern California are being shown at One California Lobby (through March 8). http://www.arthaus-sf.com/
"Transitions" at Mark Wolfe Gallery. This exhibition showcases the work of artists who, through diverse methods, attempt to represent the element of change in the natural world. In doing so, they embody an experience of nature rather than a simple vision of it, reminding us that our world is one of transience and alteration.
How does the painter, working from nature, encapsulate into a fixed image something that is always changing? The natural world is one of temporality and transition. Light, color, and even geography are in constant flux.
Gail Dawson, Christopher Russell, Ted Andersen, and Nif Hodgson, are Bay Area painters who, throughout their career have turned to nature as a source of inquiry and inspiration. "Transitions" presents an exciting survey of the most recent work of these innovative artists. http://www.wolfecontemporary.com/

A bus driver was fired when he left a 3-year-old boy on the bus this week. The bus driver is accused of leaving him there for more than five hours in freezing weather. According to a report from Wednesday (Jan. 29), the Franklin Township School District hasn't taken this occurrence lightly. The good news is that the mother reports her son is fine now after she went to pick him up.
Deport Justin Bieber Petition?
An investigation is underway about why or how the driver could have left the child on the bus nearly all day. Mishiloh Akturk said that she put her son on the bus at about 8 a.m. so that he could head off to Franklin Park School. She had no idea that there was a problem until she received a phone call while waiting at the bus stop for her child to return. It was at that point where the transportation office told her that her son hadn't even made it to school.
Speaking about the incident, she stated, "Thank God I bundled him with layers and his hat and gloves. He sat on that bus for five-plus hours. He could have died. He could have frozen to death. The EMT was there and checked him out. He seems fine. He's was happy and eating his lunch when I got there. Everything seems OK right now. He's a real trooper."
As for the driver, he was fired on the spot for this incident, despite being called one of the most punctual employees on the staff. Ignoring a buzzer designed to remind him to check the bus cost him the job and could have been much worse if the child hadn't been dressed warm.

During preseason, Saints fans got their first taste of the food being dished out in the new Champions Square, the free, 60,000-square-foot plaza -- about the same size as Jackson Square -- which cost the Saints and the state $13.5 million to create on the site of the former New Orleans Centre mall, shuttered since Hurricane Katrina.
Dishes, from nine popular New Orleans restaurants, go from high-brow, such as Galatoire's shrimp remoulade, to traditional stadium delights, such as WOW Café & Wingery chicken tenders.
The restaurant outposts are part of the offerings at the square, which can host approximately 8,000 partiers. Along with food and drink, the venue features pregame entertainment, including a stage for live music and an 18- by 32-foot LED screen.
When it opened on Aug. 21, thousands of Saints-gear-wearing fans, still giddy from the team's Super Bowl XLIV win, filed in to check out the scene.
"It is a little like tailgating without your car, " said Ron Forman, chairman of the Superdome Commission. "This is a place before and after game where there are places for food and drink, and festivities and music and meeting your friends." (Note: On Thursday, because of the game's late start, the square will not be open after the game.)
Restaurants will open three hours before kickoff and close during the game.
Other participating restaurants include: Acme Oyster House, Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House and Steakhouse, Drago's Seafood Restaurant, Ralph Brennan's Red Fish Grill, Outback Steakhouse and The Praline Connection. The popular Pinkberry yogurt and other vendors will have concession stands on Lasalle Street, which has been closed off, landscaped and is now home to kiosks and Saints memorabilia.
"What you did before was park and go to the game, " said Ralph Brennan of Red Fish Grill. "Now you will have an opportunity to come early and listen to some music, watch some videos, and eat and have a drink if you would like.
"It is what New Orleans is all about. We love to eat here. Just add food to anything and it makes it a special event, " Brennan said.
Most dishes offered are New Orleans favorites and range in price from $8 to $9. (See box for the menu and prices.)
. . . . . . . .
Champions Square will open Thursday at 4 p.m. The Superdome opens at 5:30, with kickoff at 7:30. Entertainment will stop 45 minutes before kickoff. Champions Square will not be open during or after this game. No outside food or drink is allowed.ON THE Menu

This is Part 2 of the 10 Ways to Make Your Website Look Better series.
The text you're reading right now is at 1.6em, or 160%. (It may be different if you're reading this in an RSS reader.) I chose this size on purpose.
First, my body text uses a serif font. Serifs inherently make the letters seem slightly bigger, tighter and more busy. Sans-serif fonts aren't quite as busy visually, so you may not need quite as much line height.
Second, Charfish is a spacious site. I wanted even the text to breathe well and have plenty of white space, which suits the somewhat minimal design. The eye isn't confused here by closely-packed sentences or dangly letters that run into the lines below. It just works. And that's what proper web design is all about.
And speaking of proper web design, we've still got eight more posts coming up in this Better Website Series. Subscribe now and you won't miss a single one of them!

The following tips are from the North Carolina Governor's Crime Commission:
On foot:
In the car:
On public transportation:
If you are attacked:
Physically securing your residence is 90 percent of burglary prevention. If your home is locked and unauthorized entry is difficult, time consuming and conspicuous, the chances of a successful burglary are greatly reduced. The North Carolina Governor's Crime Commission offers the following burglary prevention tips:
Locks should be: double-cylinder deadbolts with movable collars recessed into the door at least a one-inch throw containing a hardened steel insert protected by a latch guard padlocks should be made of hardened steel and mounted on bolted hasps File off serial numbers to prevent new keys being made Doors and windows should be: solid construction, metal-lined and secured with heavy metal crossbars door jams must be solid exposed hinges should be pinned windows should have secure locks Outside: Motion detector lights Alarm system should be well-advertised Minimal landscaping close to home - can provide cover for a criminal Other tips: Keep accurate records of serial numbers on items to help with recovery Anchor equipment whenever possible to a secure base to delay theft
Theft is most often a crime of opportunity. If your vehicle looks easy to break into or steal, thieves will be more likely to act on their instinct. There is no sure way to prevent your vehicle from being broken into, but there are ways to decrease your risks significantly.
When parking your vehicle remember to stay in a well-lit area and near lots a people.
Place personal belongings out of sight inside the passenger area of your vehicle or place in the trunk.
Keep vehicles locked with the windows rolled all the way up.
Install a car alarm system. Most pedestrians will turn and look when hearing the audible alarm activate. Thieves do not like to have attention drawn to their presence.
Lock your steering wheel with proper locking mechanism. Additional signs of theft protection devices discourage thieves from attempting to tamper with your vehicle.
When walking from your vehicle look around to observe people that appear suspicious or don't appear to have any reason to be there. For example, a person walking around in a shopping center parking lot looking around at others.

Randy Travis looks to be recovering well since he suffered heart problems and a stroke last year. On February 7, country singer Neal McCoy posted a new picture of Randy Travis on his Facebook page.
In the post, Neal McCoy said:
Randy Travis and I recently backstage before I went on, at a Smiles For Life concert in Dallas Texas. Pretty honored this was Randy's first time out and his first time to have Cowboy boots on since his illness.
Gettin Better!!!
In the photo, Randy Travis looks as though he may have slimmed down a bit. His face is slightly thinner, but his coloring is good and his eyes bright. This is definitely a good sign after such grave reports last July.
Hopefully Randy Travis being ready to make a public appearance also means he is finding some inner peace as well. Though the singer had gone through a really rough patch following his divorce, he has long been a man of faith. Perhaps this time of recovery has provided some time for emotional and spiritual healing too, and fans can look forward to the return of the Randy Travis they knew and loved for many years.

I bought a hosted VPS with Linux. Specifically for a request tracker installation, that currently blows away our current "custom" helpdesk software that only works right on IE 6.0. but my bosses aren't having any of it. So I'm left with a VPS paid for a year. What are some other neat or cool uses I can do with it?
thanks in advance. my sincere apologies if this is a "bad" question for this forum.

Mulder's favorite snack is raw sunflower seeds. In "Aubrey" (Episode #36), he reveals to Scully that his father used to eat them as well and suggests that his taste for sunflower seeds may be some sort of genetic memory. In "Anasazi" (Episode #49), Mulder asks for seeds while delirious with a fever.

About your discussion regarding 64-bit support in Windows and Macs. I prefer Apple's solution in that they are building 64-bit in to the OS and they don't force you to pre-select whether you want to get a 64-bit or 32-bit OS like Microsoft does. Granted the porting of code is completely different matter, but that is less visible to use users and more visible to developers only.
31-Jul-10 08:11 AM
Are you aware of the fact that vast majority of 32bit apps work smoothly under 64bit? Not a Microsoft fan at all, but I don't see your point in this case. I am using both Win and OSX. Try running an app from let's say 2001 on both platforms. You know the one on which you'll be succesfull, don't you?

Chu Berry & Hot Lips Page: Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You
Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You
Chu Berry (tenor sax) and Hot Lips Page (trumpet, vocals)
The Commodore Jazz Sampler (Commodore CCD 7000)
Chu Berry (tenor sax), Hot Lips Page (trumpet, vocals), Clyde Hart (piano), Al Casey (guitar),
Al Morgan (bass), Harry Jaeger (drums).
Composed by Don Redman.
Recorded: August 28, 1941
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
This song had been recorded by McKinney's Cotton Pickers back in 1929, and then faded from view during the Great Depression, only to resurface at Chu Berry's 1941 session for the Commodore label. The band takes the tempo at a relaxed stroll, while Page gently lofts the melody on trumpet, then follows with a soulful vocal. Berry's moody tenor solo is the high point of the song, and probably helped establish this Don Redman composition as a jazz standard. A solid combo outing by two underappreciated horn players from the Swing Era.

College Hockey:Smyth Leads Way As Colgate Edges Mercyhurst
HAMILTON, N.Y. — Jon Smyth had a goal and an assist to lead all scores as Colgate posted a three-goal surge to down visiting Mercyhurst 3-1 Friday evening at Starr Rink.
A scoreless first period saw few chances for either squad to get on the board, as the host Raiders outshot the Lakers 7-4. Mercyhurst goaltender Andy Franck made some impressive saves, but the most exciting moment of the first came midway through the frame. A dump into the Colgate zone grazed the skate of a linesman at the blueline, sending the puck precariously close to the goalmouth as Raider netminder Steve Silverthorn headed behind his own net in anticipation of where the puck would be.
Mercyhurst broke the scoreless tie early on in the second period. David Wrigley drove the slot unobstructed from the blueline, beating Silverthorn at 3:40 for a 1-0 Laker lead.
"We scored a great goal, and had a few chances to make it 2-0 right after that," said Mercyhurst head coach Rick Gotkin. "Bad execution by us, good execution by Colgate, whatever you want to call it, they got back into the game. We didn't have a lot of offensive opportunities, but then again neither did they."
The Raiders stepped up the intensity after the Laker goal, tying the contest at 8:00 even. Sophomore Liam Huculak netted his first career goal in 37 career appearances thanks to a great feed across the slot by Matt Torti. Alone at the right-side dot, Huculak rifled a shot low along the ice before Franck could close the gap, knotting the game at one apiece.
The Lakers got into a bit of penalty trouble midway through the period, taking three consecutive penalties at one point. The parade of players to the penalty box caught up with the Lakers at 15:31 when Colgate's Tyler Burton skated from behind the Mercyhurst net and squeezed the puck between the post and Franck's leg to put the Raiders up 2-1.
"We're real comfortable with our penalty killers, out of our 11 forwards we have about nine guys we use regularly," remarked Gotkin. "We practice it every day, and we did a good job with it tonight. It was just a tough situation; there were some calls that we deserved, and the others I didn't see. We're still trying to figure out what is and what isn't a penalty."
Smyth added an empty-net goal at 18:49 to seal the victory for the Raiders.
Silverthorn made a total of 13 saves in net for Colgate, while Franck stopped 21 shots. The Raiders went 1-for-7 on the power play, with the game-winner coming on the man advantage, while the Lakers were scoreless on their six chances.
"The bottom line is we have to find a way to win a game like this; we just haven't been able to do that yet," said Gotkin. "I thought we were faster than Colgate, but I also felt that they were bigger and stronger. At the end of the day, we played another good team on the road again, but we need to find a way to win a game like this.
"Coming out of the UMass game on November 14, we talked with the team that we needed to be in this game if we wanted to win it. We felt that after the first period and again after the second that we were in it. We know that the road is a tough place to play for anybody in any league, and we couldn't afford to be down three- or four-nothing like we were at UMass and expect to work our way back into it."
Saturday Colgate (8-4-0) and Mercyhurst (4-6-0) close out a weekend series at Starr Rink beginning at 7 p.m.
