Although the name doesn't necessarily convey it, the food at The Poop Deck Restaurant & Bar in the Bahamas is delicious. The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and Bahamian classics. Both the food and the atmosphere make The Poop Deck worth checking out. There are two locations, one in Eastbay and one in Sandyport, and both come highly recommended by locals and vacationers alike. This review pertains to the original restaurant, located in Eastbay, just minutes from the world famous Atlantis Resort and Paradise Island.
The Poop Deck in Eastbay offers open air seating and beautiful views of the Nassau Harbor. The atmosphere is fun and laid back, just as island life should be. Relax and enjoy a tropical cocktail or one of their specialty shooters at the bar before you make your way to your table.
Open for both lunch and dinner, The Poop Deck is known for serving only the freshest seafood and many traditional Bahamian dishes. Portions are generous so come hungry. The menu at The Poop Deck offers a variety of appetizers, including their famous conch fritters, soups, salads, grilled entrees, pastas, and all kinds of seafood. Pick a fish from their fresh catch of the day and choose how you want it prepared or choose from any one of their delicious entrees. The land and sea option, which comes with lobster tail and a 12 oz. sirloin steak, is a popular menu item as is their marinated cracked conch, a classic Bahamian dish. Conch is similar in texture to that of a clam and is used quite frequently in Bahamian cooking.
The Poop Deck is open every day for lunch and dinner. Be prepared to wait as it's a popular spot and often crowded.

Dan Conklin Jr.: Sportsman #19D
2009 and 2010 Sportsman Champion
Dan Conklin has been around racing for many years. When he wasn't behind the wheel, he was turning wrenches as a crew chief on Sportsman and big block Modified cars at Orange County Fairgrounds Speedway.
Dan turned heads when he returned to driving in 2007, following a 15-year hiatus from the driver's seat. Dan finished fifth in points at Accord Speedway in just his first year back, and he followed it up with a runner-up finish in points at Accord in 2008.
In 2009, Dan raced full-time on the pavement at Bethel Motor Speedway on Saturdays, while still competing at Accord on Friday nights. For Dan, the work of changing his car over every week paid off, as he grabbed seven wins and was named the 2009 Bethel Sportsman champion.
Dan followed up his 2009 championship by capturing the title again in 2010. He wrapped up the 2011 season with one win and was third in the season point standings.
Dan is a versatile driver who enjoys traveling and testing his luck at other speedways as well. Other tracks that Dan has competed at include Moc-A-Tek Speedway and Orange County Fairgrounds Speedway.
Like several other Bethel drivers, Dan has captured a fair amount of press coverage. He was among the drivers included in the "2009-2010 Car Builder's Guide" published by Area Auto Racing News, and he was also included in a Speed51.com article about the Sportsman class at Bethel ("Taking the 'Dirt" Out of the Sportsman Class at Bethel").

Power outage reported in City Heights, Chollas Creek, Oak Park
Mylar balloon struck power lines, officials say
SAN DIEGO - A Mylar balloon struck power lines in City Heights Wednesday, sparking an outage that left about 4,800 surrounding homes and businesses without power for a time.
The blackout hit in stages over a roughly half-hour period beginning shortly after 10:30 a.m., affecting neighborhoods in the immediate area as well as in Chollas Creek and Oak Park, according to San Diego Gas & Electric.
Crews had power restored to all but about 265 addresses in the late afternoon, SDG&E reported. The remaining customers were expected to be back on line by early evening.
The metallic-coated balloon hit overhead lines at Polk and Van Dyke avenues, causing one of them to overheat to the point that it ruptured and fell to the ground, SDG&E spokeswoman Allison Zaragoza said.

Another Court Rejects Corbis's Bulk Copyright Registration
A federal court in Arizona has thrown out a photographer's copyright infringement claim against a book publisher on the grounds that his images were not properly registered. The images in question had been registered by Corbis, the photographer's agency, under the agency's widely-publicized bulk registration program.
Earlier this year, a federal court in New York rejected an infringement claim by two other Corbis photographers on the same grounds.
In the Arizona case (2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 83676), photographer Tom Bean sued Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, alleging that the publisher used 150 of his images beyond the scope of licenses granted by Corbis between 2000 and 2009.
The publisher successfully challenged Bean's claim, arguing that none of the photographer's individual images were properly registered, which is a statutory requirement for filing a copyright claim in federal court.
Bean's images had been registered by Corbis as part of several different compilations. Those compilations included hundreds of images by many different photographers. While the compilations themselves were properly registered, the court found that the individual images were not because Corbis did not provide information in the registration documents that is explicitly required by copyright law.
In his decision, US District Judge David G. Campbell wrote that Corbis failed to comply with the registration requirements for individual works "almost completely. It failed to provide the titles of any of the individual photographs, largely failed to identify the authors of the photographs, and failed to connect any author with any individual photograph."
A federal court in New York reached the same conclusion earlier this year in an identical case: Marc and David Muench also sued Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for using their images beyond the scope of a Corbis license. But their copyrights had also been improperly registered under the Corbis bulk registration program, the judge ruled.
Corbis Director of Communications Dan Perlet did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the Bean case. But he said earlier this year with regard to the Muench case that Corbis regarded that decision "as incorrect." He said the case would be re-argued and that Corbis "will likely file an amicus brief supporting the bulk [registration] process."
The Arizona court rejected the agency's request to file an amicus brief in defense of its bulk registration process, however.
Perlet also said that since early 2009, Corbis has been listing the titles and authors of all images that it registers in bulk on behalf of its photographers.

Pregnancy did this great thing to my skin – it changed my skin from slightly dry to oily in some spots and dry in others. Magic, right? Imagine my joy when I had to completely change my entire skin care routine because my pre-pregnancy routine was making me break out. I scrambled around for a good cleanser until I finally tried cleansing oil as a last ditch effort. And I haven't looked back since.
Hear me out. It sounds counterintuitive to add oil to an oily face, but it works. From what I gather, the good oil you are adding when you wash actually dissolves the bad oil already sitting on your skin. It works gently to wash away impurities because you are replacing the oil on your face instead of stripping it. Genius.
My number one pick is Shu Uemura's Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil. It is pricy, but man, does it work. It somehow manages to clean my skin and moisturize where I need but not add extra oil to the parts where I don't. For other options, you can also consider Josie Maran's Argan Cleansing Oil, Origins, or Philosphy's version. Gorgeous!

I am building a Sudoku game for fun, written in Javascript.
Everything works fine, board is generated completely with a single solution each time.
My only problem is, and this is what's keeping me from having my project released to public
is that I don't know how to grade my boards for difficulty levels. I've looked EVERYWHERE,
posted on forums, etc. I don't want to write the algorithms myself, thats not the point of this project,
and beside, they are too complex for me, as i am no mathematician.
The only thing i came close to was is this website that does grading via JS
but the problem is, the code is written in such a lousy undocumented, very ad-hoc manner,
therefor cannot be borrowed...
I'll come to the point -
Can anyone please point me to a place which offers a source code for Sudoku grading/rating?
Update 22.6.11:
This is my Sudoku game, and I've implemented my own grading system which relies
on basic human logic solving techniques, so check it out.

The Virginia version of the so-called Dream Act died in a state senate subcommittee Jan. 23. It failed 6-7 in the Senate Committee on Education and Health Subcommittee on Higher Education.
Senate Bill 249 was introduced by Sen. Donald McEachin (D) and supported by Washington-area Democrat Sens. George Barker, Adam Ebbin, Janet Howell, Dave Marsden and Richard Saslaw. The vote was along party lines.
The proposal would have allowed students with deferred action status to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities if they meet certain requirements, including established roots in the community and a family history of paying taxes.
The federal government authorizes people here illegally, but in this case in the country illegally legally enrolled in Virginia schools, with DACA to work and drive.
A similar bill died in the House last year.

Speeches and Public Events
Ambassador Ricciardone: "We Support Press Freedom Full Stop"
April 13, 2011
At a press breakfast on April 13, Ambassador Ricciardone gave strong support to the role of media freedom in a democracy, telling Turkish journalists "America supports freedom of the press, full stop" and that "as long as you journalists continue with energy and courage, we are optimistic for the future." Regarding Turkey's arrested journalists, Ambassador said "we are concerned," noted the OSCE and US official comments regarding the detainments and said "Sometimes from outside, you see things in another party, in a friend, or in a country that seem contradictory. So, as foreigners, we see this as [just like in the Turkish idiom" bu ne perhiz bu ne lahana tursusu"] it's not a diet or a cabbage pickle. We ask the same questions that you all do – what is this all about?" Speaking in Turkish on the Human Rights Report, Ricciardone quoted Secretary Clinton, noting that "the struggle for human rights begins by telling the truth over and over again. The second one is that the United States will stand with those who seek to advance the causes of democracy and human rights wherever they may live." Regarding Turkey's elections: Ricciardone saluted the election process, especially because there are more younger and more female candidates this year, and underlined several times that "we are not supporting any one party" and that "Turkey will come out of the elections with more strength." The ambassador said he remained "optimistic" about the future because "when we look at [Turkey's history], there are ups and downs but always on an increasing upwards trend."
Freedom of the Press (Excerpt from the transcript)
Question: Your initial remarks to the media after your arrival was about freedom of expression [and] media freedom in Turkey. You said you cannot understand the situation. But later, this was considered as "back track," although the State Dept stood behind you, behind your statements. Do you really consider it as a back track or are you really concerned about the latest detentions and also seizure of an unpublished book?
Ambassador Ricciardone: Of course, we're concerned. Of course, we've not back tracked. You know, when you are the American Ambassador in a country, people look at, hang on your every word, parse it and see it as a little shift this way, as a little shift that way. There's no shifting, no back tracking when it comes to upholding our principles and US law, and international law. We support freedom of expression and that means media freedom, full stop. No qualifications. It is the job of foreigners, foreign diplomats in any country to try to understand what is going on.
So, we speak with opinion leaders like you. People in the media, people in politics, people in academia, people in business, educated people, influential people, religious leaders, cultural leaders, entertainers. We speak to everybody because we want to understand the country. We are friends, friends try to understand each other. When there are differences, we try to reconcile them. Sometimes from outside, you see things in another party, in a friend, or in a country that seem contradictory. And we ask friends. I learned a wonderful expression this past week, "Bu ne perhiz, bu ne lahana turşusu." I love that: "it's neither a diet, nor a cabbage pickle." It's so hard to translate into English. So as foreigners, we see this is neither diet nor a cabbage pickle. And we say: what is this all about? In that context, we ask the same questions you do: what is this all about?

The Columbian editorial board's support of the legislative plan to cut public employee pensions is off-base. As a member of the State Investment Board, I can tell you this plan hurts all taxpayers for decades to come and jeopardizes long-term funding. The Senate striking amendment to the state budget and the pension bill will, in the long term, reduce the investment returns to the pension trust fund.
Capping retirement "Plan 2s" and/or withholding the $130 million payment to the "Plan 1s" or withholding contributions from any of the plans will have a direct impact on investment earnings on the funds. The kind of legislative changes proposed will force the State Investment Board to change its strategy from long-term investments to more short-term liquid investments. This will lower the investment returns to the pension trust fund.
Washington pension plans are among the top three public pension plans in the nation as reported by the Legislature's own actuary. The investment returns were the best for public funds for the 10-year period ending June 2010.
Employers and employees should work together to identify ways to make the contributions necessary to fund all plans over the long term. Withholding employer contributions and changing benefits results in higher costs and lawsuits. Such actions are not reform.

Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — The scandal shaking up South Korea's main spy agency is not cloak-and-dagger stuff, but the kind of low-grade trickery anyone with an Internet connection could pull off. And the target was not Seoul's opaque rival to the north, but the country's own people.
Internet postings ostensibly from ordinary South Koreans, but actually from National Intelligence Service agents, allegedly boosted President Park Geun-hye while she was running for the job as the ruling party's nominee. She was reportedly dubbed "the best," while her opponent, in a play on his name, was called "criminal."
A police investigation conducted before the December election found no wrongdoing, but now police say at least two agents violated the law and the original investigation is itself being examined.
Dozens of Internet comments, or more, may not have affected an election that Park won by a million votes, but they have damaged public trust in a spy agency that already had a dubious record.
The agency was founded in 1961 by Park's father, longtime dictator Park Chung-hee. Agents detained, tortured and even allegedly killed his political opponents. After Park was killed in 1979 — by his spy chief, ironically enough — other abuses occurred under his successors.
In recent years, however, criticism of the NIS has centered on what it has failed to do — namely, come up with much intelligence about North Korea. It learned about Kim Jong Il's death in December 2011 two days after it occurred, when Pyongyang's state TV announced it.
The Internet comments scandal captured headlines in South Korean media late last month, when state prosecutors summoned the agency's former director, Won Sei-hoon, and raided its Seoul headquarters. Reports recalled the unfortunate fates of predecessors who ended up being arrested, imprisoned or even killed.
"The prosecution will mobilize all its capabilities to swiftly and thoroughly get the truth of the case," Prosecutor-general Chae Dong-Wook said in a meeting with top prosecution officials Tuesday, according to his office. "This case should be investigated in a way not to have any lingering suspicion."
The scandal flared about one week before the Dec. 19 election. Liberal opposition members camped outside the apartment of an NIS officer allegedly involved in illicit online campaigning, based on a tip from another agent. The officer locked herself in the apartment for two days, then came out — wearing a mask and a baseball cap to conceal her identity — to let police confiscate her computers.
The incident triggered a last-minute election debate over whether the NIS illegally engaged in politics, or whether the opposition party harassed an innocent woman.
Three days before the election, police announced the results of their initial investigation by clearing the officer of any wrongdoing, giving Park's camp a source of criticism on her main rival, Democratic Party candidate Moon Jae-in.
Kwon Eun Hee, a police officer who headed the initial investigation, recently told The Associated Press and other media that her bosses inappropriately interfered in the probe by pressing her team to drastically decrease the number of search words they would use in analyzing the NIS officer's computer hard disk, in an apparent effort to announce the investigation results before the presidential election.
Top police officers have denied Kwon's claim, saying there was no attempt to cover up the truth about the case, according to the National Police Agency.
Police said last month they've found that at least two agents and an ordinary citizen, who was allegedly in collusion with them, posted 100 comments on at least two websites in violation of a law banning the NIS from engaging in domestic politics. Police subsequently requested that prosecutors indict all three people, one of whom is the agent the opposition had accused before the election.

Fordham senior tight end Dan Light
Aug. 5, 2014
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Fordham begins the 2014 season among the elite teams in the nation after coming in at No. 12 in the FCS Coaches Poll on Monday.
The Rams, who were picked as the unanimous favorite by opposing teams in the Patriot League preseason poll last week, earn the No. 12 position after finishing in the top 10 in both the FCS Coaches Poll and Sports Network Top 25 last season. The Sports Network rankings will be released later this week.
Fordham comes off a historic season where it finished 12-2 overall and made the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Rams feature a senior-laden roster that has received plenty of preseason accolades. Quarterback Mike Nebrich and wide receiver Sam Ajala are both candidates for the Walter Payton Award as the Most Outstanding Player in the FCS, while linebacker Stephen Hodge is up for the Buck Buchanan Award as the Top Defensive Player in the nation. Nebrich and Hodge were the Patriot League Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively, last season, and carry those same titles for the preseason. All three players are all Preseason All-America selections along with tight end Dan Light and offensive lineman Mason Halter. Seven others joined the group as Preseason All-Patriot League picks including wide receivers Tebucky Jones and Brian Wetzel, placekicker Michael Marando, defensive linemen DeAndre Slate and Brett Biestek, defensive back Ian Williams and punter Joe Pavlik. Linebacker Austin Hancock and defensive backs Jordan Chapman and Levon Williams were also All-Patriot League picks last season as the Rams return all but two of their 17 All-League players. Fordham will be in search of its first Patriot League title since 2007.
In preseason magazines covering the FCS, the Rams were ranked No. 8 by both Sporting News and Lindy's, and came in at No. 13 in Athlon.
Three-time defending national champion North Dakota State earned the top spot in the FCS Coaches Poll, followed in order by Eastern Washington, Southeastern Louisiana, New Hampshire and Montana in the top five.
Patriot League teams will face off against three opponents listed in the preseason FCS Coaches Poll. No. 12 Fordham will play at No. 13 Villanova on Sept. 6, Lehigh goes to No. 4 New Hampshire on Sept. 13 and Lafayette heads to No. 22 William & Mary on Sept. 20. Fordham and Lehigh each won the matchup at home last season, while Lafayette won at William & Mary in 2012.
The Patriot League football season kicks off on Aug. 30 with five teams in non-League action. The first Patriot League games will be played on Sept. 27 when Fordham visits Holy Cross and Georgetown heads to Colgate. The winner of the Patriot League title receives the League's automatic berth to the FCS playoffs, which begin on Nov. 29.

The Linux Programming Interface : A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook
You save US$35.28
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
The Linux Programming Interface is the definitive guide to the Linux and UNIX programming interface-the interface employed by nearly every application that runs on a Linux or UNIX system. In this authoritative work, Linux programming expert Michael Kerrisk provides detailed descriptions of the system calls and library functions that you need in order to master the craft of system programming, and accompanies his explanations with clear, complete example programs. You'll find descriptions of over 500 system calls and library functions, and more than 200 example programs, 88 tables, and 115 diagrams. You'll learn how to: * Read and write files efficiently * Use signals, clocks, and timers * Create processes and execute programs * Write secure programs * Write multithreaded programs using POSIX threads * Build and use shared libraries * Perform interprocess communication using pipes, message queues, shared memory, and semaphores * Write network applications with the sockets API While The Linux Programming Interface covers a wealth of Linux-specific features, including epoll, inotify, and the /proc file system, its emphasis on UNIX standards (POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3 and POSIX.1 -2008/SUSv4) makes it equally valuable to programmers working on other UNIX platforms. The Linux Programming Interface is the most comprehensive single-volume work on the Linux and UNIX programming interface, and a book that's destined to become a new classic. Praise for The Linux Programming Interface "If I had to choose a single book to sit next to my machine when writing software for Linux, this would be it." --Martin Landers, Software Engineer, Google "This book, with its detailed descriptions and examples, contains everything you need to understand the details and nuances of the low-level programming APIs in Linux ...no matter what the level of reader, there will be something to be learnt from this book." --Mel Gorman, Author of Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager "Michael Kerrisk has not only written a great book about Linux programming and how it relates to various standards, but has also taken care that bugs he noticed got fixed and the man pages were (greatly) improved. In all three ways, he has made Linux programming easier. The in-depth treatment of topics in The Linux Programming Interface ...makes it a must-have reference for both new and experienced Linux programmers. " --Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager, openSUSE, Novell "Michael's inexhaustible determination to get his information right, and to express it clearly and concisely, has resulted in a strong reference source for programmers. While this work is targeted at Linux programmers, it will be of value to any programmer working in the UNIX/POSIX ecosystem." --David Butenhof, Author of Programming with POSIX Threads and Contributor to the POSIX and UNIX Standards "...a very thorough-yet easy to read-explanation of UNIX system and network programming, with an emphasis on Linux systems. It's certainly a book I'd recommend to anybody wanting to get into UNIX programming (in general) or to experienced UNIX programmers wanting to know 'what's new' in the popular GNU/Linux system." --Fernando Gont, Network Security Researcher, IETF Participant, and RFC Author "...encyclopedic in the breadth and depth of its coverage, and textbook-like in its wealth of worked examples and exercises. Each topic is clearly and comprehensively covered, from theory to hands-on working code. Professionals, students, educators, this is the Linux/UNIX reference that you have been waiting for." --Anthony Robins, Associate Professor of Computer Science, The University of Otago "I've been very impressed by the precision, the quality and the level of detail Michael Kerrisk put in his book. He is a great expert of Linux system calls and lets us share his knowledge and understanding of the Linux APIs." --Christophe Blaess, Author of Programmation systeme en C sous Linux "...an essential resource for the serious or professional Linux and UNIX systems programmer. Michael Kerrisk covers the use of all the key APIs across both the Linux and UNIX system interfaces with clear descriptions and tutorial examples and stresses the importance and benefits of following standards such as the Single UNIX Specification and POSIX 1003.1." --Andrew Josey, Director, Standards, The Open Group, and Chair of the POSIX 1003.1 Working Group "What could be better than an encyclopedic reference to the Linux system, from the standpoint of the system programmer, written by none other than the maintainer of the man pages himself? The Linux Programming Interface is comprehensive and detailed. I firmly expect it to become an indispensable addition to my programming bookshelf." --Bill Gallmeister, Author of POSIX.4 Programmer's Guide: Programming for the Real World "...the most complete and up-to-date book about Linux and UNIX system programming. If you're new to Linux system programming, if you're a UNIX veteran focused on portability while interested in learning the Linux way, or if you're simply looking for an excellent reference about the Linux programming interface, then Michael Kerrisk's book is definitely the companion you want on your bookshelf." --Loic Domaigne, Chief Software Architect (Embedded), Corpuls.comshow more

23rd September 2013
We used this product for the first time this summer. The weather was good during the day but not so at night and the canopy just gave us somewhere dry to hang out, put our dining table and cooking stuff. It also kept the carpet clean within the main area! Would have been useful to have had some hooks for lights etc and add on rooms if required later - you know the gizzmos you see on other tents like outwell. Otherwise happy with the extra space it provides ;-))@muzoe Vango Lomond tent and front extension canopy have been a real winner this year, spacious and easy to erect, i've used the Vango woburn and extension this summer a very similar model and thoroughly enjoyed it.

'Green' building gets the gold
The Solaire has 293 rental units, ranging in size from studio to three-bedroom apartments. Photos: American Water
The membrane ultrafiltration pumps and related equipment are housed in the basement. Liquid/solid separation is accomplished using membrane ultrafiltration technology.
The green roof on the 19th floor of the Solaire is irrigated with captured stormwater.
— Zavoda is a senior project engineer with American Water, Applied Water Management Group, in Hillsborough, N.J.
The unit processes for the Solaire's treatment and recycling system are:
Associated equipment includes:
Green roof produces its own energy
When designing the Solaire, authorities from Battery Park City hired a team of experts to develop what has since become a definitive model for all green, high-rise residential buildings—the Battery Park City Authority Residential Environmental Guidelines. One of these guidelines focuses on energy savings and, in the design of the Solaire, took root in the development of "green roofs." In addition to saving energy, the green roofs provide Solaire residents a number of benefits conducive to sustainable living.
One of the building specifications required the integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate solar energy equal to 5% of the building's base electrical load. PV panels are essentially laminated glass with silicon cells inside, wired to create energy. The two primary benefits of PV are energy independence and environmental compatibility—essential components to sustainable design. For this system, silicon wafers recycled from old computer parts were wedged between two pieces of glass; when sunlight hits the silicon surface, free electrons are produced, yielding energy without noise or moving parts.
When building the Solaire, the design team faced an enormous challenge deciding in which areas to place PV panels. Ultimately, the team decided to incorporate half of the panels on the front of the building, and the other half on the roof. The PV panels were installed on the walls of the "bulkhead," which screens the cooling tower and house tank on the roof of the building. The panels became not only decorative add-ons, but also an integral part of building design, acting as both an energy producer and an enclosure. The incorporation of PV panels into the Solaire has become the most prominent design signature of the building.
The Solaire's green roofs are located on the flat roofs of the 19th and 28th floors. In addition to saving solar energy, the roofs have many other beneficial uses. For example, they serve as a receptacle for collecting rainwater, which is then used for irrigation. The green roofs also help keep the average apartment temperature down by approximately 10° F daily during the summer.

Researchers at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT report that they have, for the first time, reversed symptoms of mental retardation and autism in mice.
"Our study suggests that inhibiting a certain enzyme in the brain could be an effective therapy for countering the debilitating symptoms of FXS (Fragile X Syndrome) in children and possibly in autistic kids as well," remarks co-author Mansuo L. Hayashi, a former Picower Institute postdoctoral fellow currently at Merck Research Laboratories in Boston.
The team studied mice genetically manipulated to model Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). They observed that the enzyme called p21-activated kinase, or PAK, affects the number, size, and shape of connections between neurons in the brain. Halting PAK's enzymatic activity reversed the structural abnormality of neuronal connections found in the FXS mice, reports co-author Susumu Tonegawa, Picower professor of biology and neuroscience. Stopping PAK also reversed abnormalities in spine number and structure.
"PAK inhibition also restored electrical communication between neurons in the brains of the FXS mice, correcting their behavioral abnormalities in the process," points out Tonegawa.
"Notably, due to an elegant genetic manipulation method employed by the Picower Institute researchers, PAK inhibition in the FXS mice did not take place until a few weeks after appearance of disease symptoms," Tonegawa adds. "This implies that future treatment may still be effective even after symptoms are already pronounced."
"While future studies will be necessary to further characterize the precise molecular nature of the interaction between PAK and FMR1, our findings clearly demonstrate that PAK inhibition can counteract several key cellular and behavioral symptoms of FXS," the authors noted. The work was reported in the online early edition of PNAS the week of June 25-29.

Will Windows RT Surface Tablet Cost $199
Surface RT tablet of Microsoft is close to its launce on October 26th, just in two months time. Microsoft hasn't given a word on the price of its flagship tablet. Will Microsoft surface RT be at $199 ?
The pendulum of price for the Microsoft Surface RT tablet is swinging and the first one predict is a Swedish site; it claims for the tablet to cost over $1,000.
A source from Engadgeta reports that Microsoft is launching its Windows RT-based tablet on October 26 for a suggested retail price of $199.
The first time when Microsoft unveiled the Surface, it was rumored to be comparable to other ARM tablets, and it was claimed to be priced in vicinity of an iPad, Transformer Prime; somewhat between $399 and $599.
Now, Google has released its Nexus 7 for $199, and the Kindle Fire is on the same bridge as well. So, the question is, is the notion of a Windows tablet priced to compete head-to-head with the Kindle Fire and the Google Nexus 7 just as baseless as a random number inserted in a Swedish retail database?
That said, it would be more than just interesting to see another front open up in the tablet war with three major operating systems competing on price.
But nothing is confirmed, the tablet and its price is all on its launch.

Typically, Angi3 is a fierce performer with raw attitude dripping from her perpetually sneering lips. However, in her latest video, "Damage," the artist is forced to confront the aftermath of her actions. Contrary to the unstoppable, high-energy, bratty swagger present in her previous work, "Damage" is a compelling and poignant offering that allows Angi3 to brandish a captivating vulnerability.
Examiner: The video for "Damage" is such a strong contrast to your previous work, the more solemn mood and slower pacing are perfect for the song. Who came up with the concept?
Angi3: Thanks so much! I'm so hopelessly in love with this video. The concept was thought up by my amazing friends/directors Tessa Greenberg and Grier Dill. They've been behind all of the Angi3 videos, but when they sent me the treatment for this one, honest to God, I got goosebumps everywhere. It was the first idea they sent me, and it ended up being the one we rolled with because I was so moved by it.
Examiner: "Damage" is exceptionally powerful because, in many ways, it seems like a response to your other tracks: you've done some damage in those previous songs and this is like you are owning up in the aftermath. Was any of that kind of thinking going through your head while making this video, or were you just trying to create the strongest story possible for the song?
Angi3: Well, every song I write and/or release is about something that happened/is happening to me, so I guess, though I really didn't think about it quite that way initially, "Damage" really did end up being the song/video where I have my "Oh f***!" moment and own up to my mess.
Examiner: The key to making this concept work is you being at the center of it all, you being present while the hazmat guys are working around you. Were there other scenarios considered that didn't involve you being in the middle of the action, or did you know this was the one that worked right from the start?
Angi3: This was the plan from the get-go. My number one reference to the video crew was that scene in Garden State where Andrew Largeman [played by Zach Braff] drops ecstasy and sits on the couch while the world flies by around him. I've always thought that scene of the movie was so powerful because everyone has felt that lonely-even-though-you're-not-alone feeling at one time or another, and I knew our take on that was going to knock it out of the park.
Examiner: "Damage" was actually filmed in the house you grew up in, wasn't it?
Angi3: Oh my gosh, not only did I grow up in that house (my mom still lives there), but that room in the basement where we filmed was party central for me through high school and college — when I was making my best terrible decisions. I've definitely woken up in that room more than a time or two wondering what kind of unnecessary drama I had caused the night before.
Examiner: Were there specific items in the video that were pulled from your life?
Angi3: All of the props are real things in my house, i.e., the pictures, the "Cedar Cliff High School" stationary, etc. Also, in the stair scene, you see one of my prom photos and my confirmation photo from 8th grade on either side of me.
Examiner: Does that mean the jacket you are wearing in that stairs scene is your real jacket from high school?
Angi3: The jacket is actually my younger brother's real varsity hockey jacket! He was a star hockey player at our high school! Stephen Howe Jr., one of my best friends from Pennsylvania as well as one of my favorite artistic minds ever, styled me for the video and insisted on the jacket. He was right, I ended up loving it. I always try to put little clues in my videos that only my people from home will pick up on. I like my videos to be a kind of Harrisburg's Where's Waldo? book. I think it's a really cool, settling thing to pay homage to where you came from. It tells you a lot more about yourself than you think you know.
Examiner: Are there any stories of parties you'd like to share that were a direct influence on any aspects/details of this video?
Angi3: The one specific booze-fueled, romantic disaster that the song is about — which is a whole other story in itself — actually took place in New York City. But let the record show, I am now happily together with the person that "Damage" is about, so I ended up cleaning up the mess, eventually. It's never too late, even if you are an incurable party girl drama queen!
Examiner: So, the song, itself, was inspired by one, specific incident?
Angi3: Long story short, I was dating around and met someone I knew was (and still is) "the one." Then, in true Angie fashion, I partied too hard one night, told "the one" that he wasn't the only one . . . and everything blew up in my face. This soured relationship had a huge ripple effect of awful. I'd never been in love before (or since), so I was seriously buggin' on another level this time. So much so, that I just felt completely numb to everything, even music, at times.
But that was a little under two years ago, so filming the video was a really cathartic experience for me because I knew that I ended up turning it all around — something I hadn't been able to do before that sh***y, self-induced whirlwind knocked me off my feet.
Examiner: In other videos, your energy is infectious, it's impossible not to feel pumped up when watching/listening. In this one, you are absolutely riveting, the quiet introspective side is captivating. Even the rap is performed with a subdued (visually, at least) energy. Was it hard/scary to be so vulnerable?
Angi3: Thank you so much for saying that — I don't think I've ever been complimented as "riveting," and I really appreciate that. You know, it really wasn't hard to be so vulnerable. I think in the vulnerability of this one, I've actually ended up discovering a new strength. Less really is more, sometimes. And, stripping away all the bouncy energy and still being able to capture people's attention — maybe more this time around — now, that's something really awesome that I didn't see coming. The releases that follow "Damage" are really influenced by the overarching comfort I felt in baring all and showing my fans a little more of what goes on in my crazy brain. But when it all comes down to it, as long as I can write as much music as I want, I'm invincible. So, if vulnerability is what comes out, then yeah, I'm running with it!

International Panel on Fissile Materials: About IPFM
The International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM) was founded in January 2006 and is an independent group of arms-control and nonproliferation experts from both nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon states.
The mission of the IPFM is to analyze the technical basis for practical and achievable policy initiatives to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of highly enriched uranium and plutonium. These fissile materials are the key ingredients in nuclear weapons, and their control is critical to nuclear weapons disarmament, to halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and to ensuring that terrorists do not acquire nuclear weapons.
Both military and civilian stocks of fissile materials have to be addressed. The nuclear-weapon states still have enough fissile materials in their weapon stockpiles for tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. On the civilian side, enough plutonium has been separated to make a similarly large number of weapons. Highly enriched uranium is used in civilian reactor fuel in more than one hundred locations. The total amount used for this purpose is sufficient to make about one thousand Hiroshima-type bombs, a design well within the potential capabilities of terrorist groups.
The Panel is co-chaired by Dr. R. Rajaraman, Professor Emeritus, of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India and Professor Frank von Hippel of Princeton University. Its members include nuclear experts from eighteen countries: Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands, Mexico, Norway, Pakistan, South Korea, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This group of countries includes six nuclear-weapon states and twelve non-weapon states. Short biographies of the panel members may be found here.
IPFM research and reports are shared with international organizations, national governments and nongovernmental groups. It has full panel meetings twice a year at capitals around the world in addition to specialist workshops. These meetings and workshops are often in conjunction with international conferences at which IPFM panels and experts make presentations.
Princeton University's Program on Science and Global Security provides administrative and research support for the IPFM.
IPFM's initial support is provided by a 5-year grant to Princeton University from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation of Chicago.

The writer hopes everyone is enjoying their summer in every way possible from vacations to walks in the parks, swimming in local pools and just getting outside to exercise. Sadly the summer is slowly ending and most of us in the northeast will have to deal with strictly indoor activities. Fall and then the dreaded winter is coming so we should prepare ourselves for it sooner than later. Now is the time for fitness and health minded people to have a plan for staying in shape during those months when outdoor activity is limited because of bad weather.
Fall and winter season can be detrimental to one's health just by the sheer fact, that people gain the most weight during in those months. What we have here is food filled holidays that encourage excessive eating and limited options to exercise because of cold and snow. Now if you are a member of a health club, you may just have to simply increase your cardiovascular exercises, more treadmill time, or utilizing a step machine. However if you are like the writer and you don't belong to health club this can be a problem but, there is still many things a person can do to keep fit.
Now if you have cable, there may be some free on demand group fitness shows that you the reader can tune into and exercise right along with the show's hostess. These shows can give a person many simple exercise regimens or exercises that can be done in the comfort of your home. Another idea is; if your home or apartment has stairs to bedrooms, or other rooms try walking up and down those stairs for 15 to 20 minutes, increasing the speed slightly. The exercise alone can help build stamina and endurance but just be careful doing this because injury from a fall is not something anyone wants to deal with. If you really want to jog and the weather outside is not cooperating, try running in place for 20 minutes listening to your favorite music. Now when you are jogging in place try to increasing the speed of your steps and get the arms involved. The writer likes to have light weights in his hands when he is jogging in place to work the upper and lower body, 3 to 5 pound weights will do the trick. Try and do any of these activities at least 3 days a week for maximum benefit. Remember that activities such as jogging can still be performed in wintertime a person just has to be prepared with warmer clothing and footwear. And keep in mind depending upon the weather, you participation days outside will be limited so indoor exercise is a nice supplement to your routine. One final thing, try and limit you calories as must as possible during these fall and winter months especially during the holidays. The writer will talk more about this in upcoming articles.
