Dodge Viper ACR possibly spotted at 'Ring, fangs bared
It's got the preposterously huge wing, and race-burlesque stripe job; could this Viper spotted at the Nurburgring possibly be a Viper ACR? The red and black Viper was nabbed on one of the 'Ring's cameras, and there's also reports of a black Viper with graphite stripes tearing around the German racing venue. While the pictures showed up on the Viperclub forums, nobody's got any lap times, unfortunately. Could the ACR turn laps as fast as the scorching GT-R or ZR1? Who knows, but there's no doubt that it'll be fast. That big, silly wing is acceptable in this instance, as it will actually work to enhance downforce on the drive wheels. It'd be the first thing removed for street duty, were we the owners of a Viper GTS. Alas, we're not Viper ACR owners, though the idea of an astoundingly fast car that can kill you if you don't know what you're doing just seems right in these days of electronic safety nets. Cowboy attitude aside, we hope that this Viper owner managed to not stuff it into any hazards, and that his lap times eventually bubble to the surface. Thanks for the tip, Gustavo.

live Twang: What is the Hogstone?
I wrote this tune out in Las Vegas, back in the summer of 2011. My wife was playing a lot of poker and I'd just got back from hiking around in Utah for a week. As I happened to have a guitar with me at the time, it was fairly easy to entertain myself inventing new riffs as I gazed out upon the blinking neon and flanking mountains.
The title, "Hogstone," was with this song almost from the beginning; I guess it always struck me as a BBQ shack sort of song. Why there is a "stone" tacked on the end probably boils down to the fact that I'm somewhat taken with the notion of mysterious rocks, petroglyphs, and the like. Those of you playing the home game may be aware I've used the enigmatic Judaculla rock up in Jackson County, NC, as the basis for another title. And of course, let's not forget the Pigstone either.
And, of course, we have a giant devil pig as a recurring visual motif, so I try to work as many pigs in there as possible.
If you listen carefully, you'll hear a little girl who was standing near us talking about "Bigfoot" several times during this song. I reckon she found it slightly mysterious too, in spite of the obvious beer-soaked vibe.

live Twang: Prairie Dog Town -- banjo and harmonica
Watch alternative versions:
"Prairie Dog Town" was one of the first tunes I invented on the banjo back in 2001, way before the days of Twang Darkly. There's a very early version of it on the Andy and Michael Futreal cd, The Dirt Roads of Nations. In fact, there's quite a bit of banjo on that CD.
A very brief Twang Darkly rendition of this tune can be heard on our 2011 CD Live from Wire Mountain. Since those early Twang days, "Pdog" has become a staple of our shows and we've expanded it greatly. The version here was recorded in October 2011 at a fundraiser for a local art museum.
A friend got my Silvertone banjo for me at a yard sale for a mere $5. As purchased, it was missing the tuning machine for its high drone string, and it had a dirt dauber nest inside the resonator. I removed the daubers, but never did fix the missing drone string. Now I play a 4 string banjo, which suits me fine. So much so that I'd probably be tempted to remove the drone string from any new banjo I might someday acquire.
live Twang: To Morrow Mountain
Choose between alternative versions:
This is an original piece for DGC tuned mountain dulcimer. When we play it live, we usually add on a slow-paced coda to the end which I refer to as "From Morrow Mountain." That coda is featured by itself as a single piece on our 2012 cd, The Sound of Secret Names.
Morrow Mountain is a peak in the little-known Uwharrie Mountains of North Carolina.

live Twang: One for Seven -- Danelectro and harmonica
The guitar part for this dates back quite some time to a tune I used play called "Seventh Day Blues." Never played harmonica on it back in the day, but it turns out to be a lot more fun this way. I get some twang action on the guitar in there between bouts of harmonica, too, so this is always one of my favorites to perform.
This live clip was captured at a fund-raising gala for the Meadows Museum of Art in Shreveport.

Knives, Tattoos, Cursing and Bites: Crazy Fan Interactions
Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter reveals that fans on location in Long Beach will often pull out knives and ask her co-star, Michael C. Hall, to pretend to stab them in a nod to the Showtime series. "People ask me to cuss at them a lot," she said with a laugh. Mea nwhile, Bones' David Boreanaz says fans pay homage to his Fox character with gifts of crazy socks -- including some that may be used. Plus why would fans ask the former Angel star to bite them? Plus why would fans ask Lucy Liu to spank them?

In My Reflecting Pool
By User12607341-Oracle on Jun 14, 2006
A year ago today, the realization of something that many of us at Sun had pushed and wished for finally came true - the open sourcing of the Solaris source code and the creation of the OpenSolaris Project. On that date, I wrote about one aspect of OpenSolaris that I had been working on for a number of years, but what really was even more exciting than the technology being released was the possibilities for the future.
Reflecting after a year, I see a tremendous amount of progress including accomplishments in areas, such as the selection of a source code management (SCM) system, which I dared not hope to be complete after one year's time. Many of the changes that have taken place the past year represent fundamental changes in the way Sun does Solaris development and though the OpenSolaris community has a long way to grow, everyone should feel good about how much has already taken place. And the fact that there are already four distributions based on OpenSolaris including Schillix, BeleniX, NexentaOS, marTux as well Sun's own Solaris Express is a reason to celebrate.
One of the areas of OpenSolaris that I was fortunate to have worked on the past year was with a team working on a proposal on what the OpenSolaris development process should look like. The team was led by Teresa and I was asked by Andy if I wanted to contribute to this effort. The team consisted of a number of people both within Sun and outside including John Beck, Rich Teer, Al Hopper, Stephen Hahn, Ed Hunter, Joe Kowalski, Keith Wesolowski, Casper Dik, and Bill Sommerfeld. Although the development process draft that we eventually published does look in many ways like the Software Development Framework used within Sun for its product development, the process by which the proposal itself was developed was entirely organic. The team initially discussed what the scope of the proposal should be and examined the high-level requirements of an operating system such as OpenSolaris. These design principles and other fundamentals were something that was always kept at the forefront when we then examined other open-source projects including Apache, FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD and OpenOffice.
After reviewing other open-source projects and their development processes, we brainstormed over the steps necessary to take an idea from conception to realization, again taking into account the guiding requirements discussed earlier. One very important notion that weighed heavily on our discussions was that of "shrink to fit", where steps in the process can be reduced or even eliminated when it makes sense. The result is a fairly streamlined process that is meant to handle both the introduction of large pieces of framework into OpenSolaris as well as the simple bug fix.
The draft was released last November and we received many insightful comments from the community. I would definitely encourage others who have not read the draft to do so and provide comments to the above thread or on the OpenSolaris cab-discuss forum.
As exciting the first year of OpenSolaris has been, it seems obvious that the coming year is going be even more so. And as impressive as it is having a hundred community integrations into OpenSolaris this first year, I suspect that we will be seeing a far higher number in the coming year along with the introduction of some large scale projects where the community will be playing an larger part in the design, implementation and integration phases.

One person really can make a difference in this world, just not always for the better. Take for example Arizona State Senator Kimberly Yee, who's currently using her power to block state funding for a landmark clinical trial designed to "examine the medical safety and efficacy of marijuana" by studying military veterans suffering from treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"This bill will help a lot of people. Not just combat veterans, but people with chronic illness and pain who can't find relief anywhere else. Whether you are for recreational use or against it, we should at least know what marijuana does. It's research -- that's all we are trying to do," according to the bill's sponsor, State Representative Ethan Orr.
A bill funding the study passed in the Arizona House by a vote of 52-5, with strong support from both Democrats and Republicans And the study has already won historic approval from both the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services, but Senator Yee says she's worried that the effort is really part of a grand scheme to legalize marijuana in Arizona, a policy she strongly opposes.
As chair of the senate education committee, Yee has so far been able to effectively block the bill from consideration by her colleagues. Despite the fact that Arizona has already collected more than $6 million in tax revenues through its medical cannabis program, money that's reserved by law for furthering the provisions of the program, including research and education.
Yee says she wants that money to go to drug-prevention efforts, instead of finding out if cannabis can help combat soldiers treat their PTSD.
"Our study paves the way for research that could make marijuana into a federally approved prescription medicine for PTSD," says Rick Doblin, head of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, a self-described non-profit pharmaceutical company. "We worked for 22 years to get permission to purchase marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse's monopoly supply. By refusing to consider HB 2333, Senator Yee is making it clear that she would prefer the research never to happen at all."
Or perhaps she thinks cannabis is just too risky for American combat veterans to handle.

Realizing that Father Time is hitting you over the head with the ugly stick known as reality can be a traumatizing thing.
It gets worse when you mark milestones in life. That first kiss. That first legal beer. And asking: "Who you gonna call?"
In the summer of 1984, many of us still in the teens shouted along with Ray Parker Jr.'s theme song – Ghostbusters!!! Yes, Ghostbusters – one of the seminal silly comedies of the ''80s marks 30 years this summer and Columbia Studios is celebrating in a couple of ways, the studio announced Thursday (June 5th).
The first comes in the form of a theatrical re-release. There's the big nugget. There are few things better than experiencing the words: "He slimed me" from Billy Murray's Dr. Peter Venkman than on the big screen. It was just one of those unexpected, glorious moments in film comedy.
The theatrical run begins in 700 theaters nationwide on Aug. 29th (Labor Day Weekend), according to a Columbia press release. The film will be restored and remastered in 4K resolution. Here's guessing it could end up being the top-grossing film of that time.
"Ghostbusters is still one of our studio's most beloved franchises," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony Picture. "I was lucky enough to work on the release of the film on its first run, so it's a real thrill for me to see that it's still connecting with audiences everywhere. On the big screen or in home entertainment, this is a great movie to experience again and again."
The release comes months after the death of Harold Ramis, who portrayed Egon. Ghostbusters 3, which according to reports will feature new actors, is still slated to begin film in 2015.
Several weeks later on Sept. 16, the studio will release a boxed set of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (a 25th Anniversary Edition) which will include the remastered version along with all-new extras. It will be the first time that the sequel appears on blu-ray disc.
"To celebrate this milestone anniversary, we wanted to create something new and collectible for fans. These new Ghostbusters blu-rays will feature the highest quality presentation along with new content that reflects the rich history of this iconic franchise," said Lexine Wong, senior executive vice president, worldwide marketing, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

U.S. Turns on Taps to Export Liquefied Natural Gas
The growing dependence of the U.S. on energy imports has for years seemed to be one of the immutable truths of the global market. This week, one part of that trend was flipped on its head as the first deal was signed to export liquefied natural gas out of the U.S.
On Wednesday, Houston-based energy company Cheniere signed a deal with U.K.-based gas producer BG Group to ship 3.5 million tons a year of LNG out of its Sabine Pass terminal in Texas.
Within a couple of years, BG will take LNG from Texas and sell it to its customers in Europe or Asia.
Just how much of a turnaround this is for the U.S. is demonstrated by the fact that Sabine Pass was built to import gas into the country, and will require significant construction work to enable exports.
The surprising journey of America from importer to potential LNG exporter is the result of a confluence of factors.
The largest is the recent boom in the production of gas trapped in shale rock. Driven by new technology and economies of scale, shale gas production has reversed a long-term decline in U.S. gas output and is expected to keep growing for many years to come.
The second factor is continued breakneck growth in energy-hungry Asia, which has boosted demand for LNG there. Japan's Fukushima crisis, which has led to the shut down of much of its nuclear power plants, is expected to boost Asia's LNG demand even further.
Thirdly, the cost of much of the world's LNG is fixed through a formula related to the international oil prices, which looks set to average over $100 a barrel this year.
All this means that the premium at which LNG sells in Japan over the benchmark price of natural gas in the U.S., called Henry Hub, has ballooned.
In 2005, Japanese LNG was selling at a premium of barely 40 cents per million Btu to U.S. natural gas (see chart). In 2010, that premium was $6.52 per MMBtu and looks set to exceed $10 per MMBtu this year.
Clearly, BG Group believes this premium is high enough to justify exports out of the U.S. and is likely to remain so for the duration of its 20-year contract with Cheniere.
BG also has permission to convert its Lake Charles import terminal in Louisiana for imports. The operator of the Cove Point import terminal in Maryland, Dominion Resources, has talked about similar plans.
All this is not guaranteed, but barring an unexpected collapse in U.S. shale gas production, it seems likely that at least some of these export projects will proceed.
The world's other great gas importing regions will be watching this progress closely. Europe has recently begun to explore for shale gas. There has already been a major discovery in the U.K. and Poland is widely held to have promising resources.
China also plans to explore for shale gas within its vast borders, but other Asian importers have fewer prospects. Japan and South Korea, with little prospect for shale gas and lying beyond the reach of pipelines, are LNG importers for life.

Anderson's Hat Trick Lifts Hockey Over Clarkson, 6-4
Oct. 9, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. -- Redshirt-sophomore Matt Anderson (West Islip, N.Y.). scored three goals and added two assists for his first career hat trick as the University of Massachusetts hockey team won a wild opening night game over Clarkson, 6-4, tonight at the Mullins Center. Junior Stephen Werner (Chevy Chase, Md.) had four points on one goal and three assists. Both teams had 33 shots on goal and 14 penalties called against them.
UMass trailed 4-3 heading into the final period, but did not take long to make up the difference. Just 16 seconds into the period, Anderson scored to tie the game. Werner and sophomore Mark Matheson Calgary, Alberta) were both credited with assists on the play. UMass got the game-winner five minutes later. Freshman P.J. Fenton (Longmeadow, Mass.) received a pass from senior Dusty Demianiuk (Franklin, Mass.) and took a shot. It grazed off of junior James Solon (Acton, Mass.) on the way in and went past Clarkson goalkeeper Dustin Traylan. Solon got credit for the goal and UMass hung on for the win. Anderson capped his hat trick by scoring an empty-netter with 37 seconds left.
UMass got on the board first in a wild first period that saw 15 penalties between the two teams. Junior Marvin Degon (Millbury, Mass.) netted UMass' first goal of the 2004-05 season just 6:47 into the start of the game on the power-play with assists from Werner and Anderson. Clarkson tied it with 4:40 left in the period as Jay Latulippe scored on the power-play, but UMass came right back with a short-handed goal 18 second later to take the lead again at 2-1. Anderson stole a Clarkson pass in the neutral zone and broke in down the right side. Clarkson tied it again with another power-play goal less than a minute later, but Werner scored on the power-play with 29 seconds left to make it 3-2 UMass after one period. Degon and Anderson both had assists on the goal.
In the second period, Clarkson scored the only two goals to take the 4-3 lead into the second intermission. Chris Blight scored on the power-play at 5:18 and then Steve Zalewski put them ahead with just 2:05 left.
UMass was 4-12 on the power-play while Clarkson was 3-13. In the net, junior Gabe Winer (Stoughton, Mass.) made 29 saves while Traylan tallied 26 for Clarkson.
UMass will now head to Anchorage, Alaska for the Nye Frontier Classic, Oct. 15-16. The Minutemen will battle Minnesota at 9:00 EST on Friday, Oct. 15, and then either Canisius or Alaska-Anchorage.

Mirror turned out much better than I expected, quality piece for a great price.
Excellent fit and finish. Easy installation. Good view on both sides. Delivery was very fast.
Looks great on my new Bike
they were nice.
The mirror itself could be a little larger.
Fast shipping
Good chrome, Looks Good
Mirror looks great on bike a lot better then standard one.
Good mirror and mount, can adjust tightness which is why I picked it over the stock Harley mirrors (that suck).
great look
Looks great, good size. But I recommend loctite to prevent it from vibrating loose.
Nice fit and finish. Not as big of a mirror as I though, but still functions well.
i ordered these mirrors and they were delivered quickly. love em
The oval stealth II mirrors are very nice looking. I like the stems and have them mounted so that he are in alignment with the handlebars, with the mirrors straight out. The field of vision is not quite as good as the stock mirrors, but they are adequate and they look better. The only thing that I would have done differently is go with the blue tinted lens sinse my bike is blue. Other than that I am very pleased with the purchase.
look good,work good. no adapter needed for right side on my 2002 fxdwg.
Good quality but priced a bit higher than competition.
These are nice looking units and are probably as good as you are going to get with drag bars. They extend right to the end of the grips, giving a pretty decent view behind.
I love these mirrors. They are a big improvement over stock. The arms could be a little longer for drag bars, but they do give a good view, except when wearing a slightly bulky jacket.
Awesome! Great look to any bike. Especially when paired with the star bar handlebars made by Baron.
Everything I have receive has always been top quality and I will continue to recommend you guy to all my friends. Great job. Thanks
Good product and easy to install.

Hi all,
I have a robot that plays checkers thats being upgraded to the NXT platform. There are two rotation sensors and RCX motors in the things belly i would prefer to keep as they are really a pain to replace.
As i was looking though the API i noticed that the rotation sensors were not yet implemented. I started looking into how the rotation sensors work and i can see the voltage changes by reading the raw value from the sensor port on the NXT. I can reliably tell which direction its turning by reading the raw value. Before i start writing a class for the rotation sensors is reading the raw value the best way to do this or is there a better way to go about doing this.

As technology gets better, a legitimate debate has arisen in photographic circles: are cell phone cameras killing the entry-level point and shoot digital models that have been a staple of the photographic world for over a decade. Yes, there is undeniable proof that cell phone cameras are getting ever better by the year and that their popularity is increasing, but do they pose a legitimate chance at killing the pocket P&S?
In a recent article published by Digital Photography Review, executives at Canon said that they have no fear of smartphones. The key to the future of the compact camera according to the top brass at Canon: there are simply things that cameras can do that smartphones can't. Want to optically zoom? No smartphone can do that. Want fast-access buttons to make switching settings easier? Forget that on a smartphone. It is for these and other reasons, besides the fact that phone image quality cannot compete with a true camera, that Canon isn't concerned about the perceived phone threat.
Instead, Canon is looking to smartphones for inspiration to make more money. Realizing the snap and share culture brought about by smartphones and wi-fi connectivity, Canon is looking to offer such capabilities on future camera models. Additionally, Canon sees hope that people getting the photographic bug from a phone will eventually want to upgrade to a camera, along with the better experience and pictures they bring.
My take: total agreement with Canon.
There are several things that make true cameras stand out: better resolution, better AF, more versatile optics (think zoom), external buttons that allow for quick changes to settings, and the laundry list of customizable options that do not appear on any cell phone. In addition, point and shoot cameras can be made to be water, freeze, and crush-proof, too.
For anyone who is serious about taking pictures, any smart phone's user interface is its biggest drawback. On a cell phone, you are forced to dive into menus and scroll around for every single setting change you want to make. On a camera, the basic setting controls are at your fingertips in the form of buttons, no menu diving required. With this vital attribute, someone with a real camera can be snapping a once in a lifetime photo while the smart phone user is scrolling through menus, trying to find the setting he/she wants to change.
In the end, camera phones are creatures of opportunity as many more people regularly carry a phone at all times than a camera, which means more on the fly pictures will come by way of phones. Also, phones can have great cameras but lousy user interfaces, which means that, when it comes to serious shooting, real cameras are still the way to go. Unless you're only wanting the bare bones of photographic applications (namely aim and shoot) and are willing to settle for "good enough," don't ditch your camera anytime soon.

Each of us, no doubt, has a favorite commercial that enchantingly pauses us in our trek towards that commercial-break snack. We've seen it dozens of times, and yet it grabs us every time with its catchy jingle and characters conveying its unique product message.
So, Tell Me About Yourself
A product brand is a collection of ideas and images conveying a promise. With that, the mark of an effective product brand is that along with effectively distinguishing itself from another, it strives to make an emotional connection.
In your job search you're hopefully talking to strategic connections and generating discussions and interviews which typically begin with you explaining what you're all about, for example:
"I'm a Client Relations professional with 11 years in the retail industry. I provide customer support in a call center environment for insurance industry clients. I'm very analytical with excellent communication skills and a strong work ethic."
Hmm...okay. So what? Whereas there's nothing wrong with this introduction, there's also nothing distinctive about it. It's very average. And in today's market, employers don't have to settle for average. The job market is overwhelmed with folks who do what you do. Your Tell-me-about-yourself statement needs to go beyond simply a compilation of your functional attributes (skills, knowledge, education, communication style) to include why your attributes matter:
"I'm a Client Relations Specialist in the advertising industry. I have extensive experience sourcing strategic partnerships to raise visibility and company distinction."
The above introduction generates interest by demonstrating how an employer's need can be met, thus making an emotional connection─and provides 'someplace to go' in the conversation. Following are simplistic but effective steps for building your job search brand message.
What You Do: Declaring Your Impact
Don't simply state your job title. Assert the payback of your actions in that role:
- I'm a top-performing Sales Director in the biotechnology industry. I successfully brainstorm multi-million dollar projects in struggling territories.
- I'm a Copywriter in the publishing industry with the acumen to craft web content that goes viral.
How You Do It: What Makes You Distinctive
What separates you from others who do what you do? What differentiates you from the pack? This is where a 'known for' or 'recognized for' statement is of optimum value; it reinforces your credibility:
- I'm particularly adept at focusing and aligning strategies with manufacturing resources to bring about acceleration of product processes and reduction in waste.
- I'm known for my ability to connect with leaders in all areas of the company to deliver truly global marketing campaigns.
Why What You Do Matters: Your Value Proposition
What's your appeal? What's your irrefutable reason(s) that anyone should take note of what you do/who you are?
- I can help your company make the most of its resources by weaving greater efficiency and consistency into travel planning, allowing for reduction in costs and increase in revenue.
- I can convert the tactical and strategic objectives of your business into actionable items and enable the commission of corporate mandates.
Sample 30-Second Commercial ...
I'm a certified Project Management professional whose career in the field of facilities design and construction and facility site operations has provided for roles developing immediate solutions to unique business challenges. For example, faced with the impending loss of the sole developer having knowledge and expertise of the company's badge access system, I developed and led the effort to capture the necessary knowledge into a database I created, defined the anticipated staffing needs, and chose new staff who successfully assumed the role. I can provide for your company the expertise and intuitive discernment for mission critical applications.
No matter how impressive your job title, without a strong value proposition others won't have a convincing enough reason for ongoing conversation with you.

How often do you deal with pancreatic cancer?
Dr. Kahaleh: Probably on a daily basis. I have patients referred to me with even suspicion of pancreatic cancer.
If I remember correctly, pancreatic cancer is a really hard cancer to deal with.
Dr. Kahaleh: Correct. It is extremely difficult.
Why is that?
Dr. Kahaleh: Well first of all it can mimic so many other diseases. It can mimic inflammation, it can mimic weight loss due to ulcers, it can mimic inflammatory bowel disease, and even some people can confuse it with chronic disease or chronic rheumatology disease. So, it is very important to take a step back and remember that this is actually a big mimicker.
Is it because the organ itself is just in a very bad place in the body?
Dr. Kahaleh: Correct. It is basically located against the spine. Some people will come with abdominal pain. People will also come with back pain and this is why you have to think, that maybe there is something else going on in the abdomen.
What was it used for before?
Dr. Kahaleh: It was used to look inside the eyes, and now we are using it to look at the cells themselves.
When they would look inside the eyes, what would it be for?
Dr. Kahaleh: They were looking at the retina to see if there is any issue with the retina, but in this case, we are looking at the cells of the gut, the bile or pancreas themselves. So, we actually have live histology or live biopsy.
When you first did this, were you amazed at how easy it was to see the difference?
Dr. Kahaleh: I was amazed. The patient came to me because he had negative biopsy somewhere else. We injected him and we immediately saw that the patient actually had cancer.
When you see that the patient has cancer, what are the options for them?
Dr. Kahaleh: Well, dependent on the stage of the cancer, if the patient is detected early enough you can actually send him for a curative resection; he goes to surgery to have the cancer removed. Now if the patient is at a later stage we can then offer him right away palliation such as placing a stent or ablation, by burning the cancer from the inside.
What was Patricia like when she came to see you?
Dr. Kahaleh: She came to see me because she has a question about pancreatic or ampullary cancer.
What does that mean?
Dr. Kahaleh: That means at the level that drains the bile duct and the pancreas, there was a growth that could have been pancreatic cancer or cancer of the ampulla, which is the area that drains the bile duct and the pancreatic duct. So the deal with her is, instead of sending her straight up to surgery or start resecting this area without knowing what it is, we decided to do this examination. When we injected the cells, we noticed that the cell would take in the fluorescein very nicely and they were normal. That made us feel that we were not dealing with cancer, but we were dealing with something else, like inflammation for instance. So we preserved her from an unnecessary surgery.
Would this be good for any patient?
Dr. Kahaleh: Absolutely. I think anybody with any GI tract lesion in the esophagus, in the stomach, into the pancreas, the bile duct, the rectum or the colon can actually benefit from this. It is the ability to give them an immediate impression which actually will replaces, slowly but surely, the current biopsy. So basically, the patient leaves with an idea if he has cancer or not.
Do you find this amazing?
Dr. Kahaleh: It is amazing. However, we need to confirm our long term data with this novel technology by keeping track of our current biopsy result, in the next 10 years probably or maybe even earlier, we might demonstrate that virtual biopsy or live biopsy is as good as regular biopsy with a microscope.

"The introduction of Good Origin builds on our winning European formula and helps us incorporate sustainability as part of a viable business strategy for coffee producers," said Mike DePriest, senior brand manager of Sara Lee Foodservice. "Taking a comprehensive approach to sustainability through our partnership with Utz Certified Good Inside makes good business sense for both our customers and our company. It provides consumers with great tasting coffee that they know has been produced responsibly - by balancing people, planet and profit," said DePriest.
`Sara Lee has previously introduced its Good Origin brand in countries such as the Netherlands, the UK and Denmark, where consumer demand for sustainable coffee is growing rapidly. The new, Utz Certified Good Inside coffee is available in three varieties under the Good Origin Premium label (Moyobamba Peru, Terrenos Gemelos and Copita Madura Decaf) and three varieties under the Good Origin Gourmet label (Pluma de Oaxaca, Tres Joyas and Copa Oscura Decaf). Each variety is packed in a NaturalBox carton, made with 100% post-consumer recycled-materials.

The line includes Sam's Choice FairTrade certified coffee, Sam's Choice Rainforest Alliance certified coffee and Sam's Choice USDA organic decaffeinated coffee. Wal-Mart also said the six coffees are certified as "carbon neutral" because Cafe Bom Dia, its Brazil-based coffee roaster, has cut its net carbon emissions to zero. "The socially conscious consumer is a growing area we're marketing to, and certainly this coffee fills that void in our line," said Matt Kistler, senior vice president of sustainability at Wal-Mart.
Increased consumer awareness about environmental issues and farmers' standard of living creates a growing market for products deemed sustainable. As consumers show greater interest in where and how their coffee is produced, coffee chains have started purchasing "Fair Trade" beans to make their drinks.
Terra Forte Exp e Imp de Café Ltda began in 2005 and is headquartered at Sao Joao da Boa Vista/SP, Brazil. Terra Forte exports over half a million bags/year. The company owns seven farms for a total of 10,873 acres with an average 247,000 60 kg bags produced/year.
Terra Forte USA will also offer different Brazilian qualities on SPOT and future delivery conditions through New York, Jacksonville, Miami, New Orleans, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Terra Forte USA will also offer on FOB basis when required. Coffees from Fazenda Ipanema will be represented.
Terra Forte USA's office in the U.S. will be at Wolthers America. Christian Wolthers and his team will be the local liaison offering and selling Terra Forte coffees, caring for logistics, accounts payable/receivable and quality support.

Buhler Sortex was founded as Gunson's Sortex, in 1947 when London was preparing for the 1948 Olympic Games. Now part of Switzerland's Buhler Group, the infrastructure requirements of the 2012 London Olympics have led to its relocation from Pudding Mill Lane.
"When the Olympic City selection process was under way I was convinced that Paris would be chosen," said Bruno Kilshaw, managing director of Buhler Sortex. "I watched the announcement of the IOC's decision on TV with some colleagues and when London was named I was stunned. I knew that we had barely two years to relocate and was not convinced that it was possible."
The new site also becomes home to the UK offices of the Buhler Group. CEOCalvin Grieder is convinced that significantly greater efficiencies and cost savings will result from a single site operation.
Both firms, privately held, are based in Norfolk. All full time W.M. Stone employees have been offered positions at HIPAGE, which employs 150 people in 12 offices in five states.
The acquisition of W. M. Stone fits our culture," said Linwood D. Beckner, part owner and executive vice president of HIPAGE. "We have known and respected each other for many years, even though we have been competitors."

Pin the Tail on the Donkey
On a large piece of card draw or paint a picture of the back of a donkey (or other creature of your choice) without its tail and mark the place where its tail should be with a large X. Cut out and paint a separate tail that will be 'pinned on' using blue tac. Each child is blindfolded in turn and lead to the donkey where they have to 'pin' on the tail. (With older children you may spin them round 3 times first to make it more challenging).
After all children have had a go, the child who has put their tail closest to the X is declared the winner. Either make different tails for each child or mark the spot with their name.

Medina County Sheriff Tom Miller and Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler will discuss ways to combat the growing heroin problem in the county on a cable television program that will be aired throughout August on area public access channels.
The sheriff and the judge are working together to find ways to treat defendants who are suffering from heroin addiction and not just punish them.
"The real focus in helping people recover from drug addiction needs to be in the ongoing treatment … over an extended period of time," Miller said. "By working with Judge Kimbler we hope to help the individual succeed in the program as well as keeping any information provided protected while awaiting trial."
The idea of a more intensive treatment program has been proposed by Judge Kimbler.
Kimbler's proposal would open up the east pod of the Medina County Jail as a short-term rehabilitation center for offenders with opiate and heroin addictions.
Kimbler said most offenders use jail to physically detox, but the legal system is doing little to keep them clean in the long run.
Sheriff Miller said the program has the potential to be effective.
"The offenders have to volunteer for it and follow the program," Miller said. "Obviously, there is potential for them to be more successful by staying in the program."
Sheriff Miller visited Greene County, where the legal system is offering intensive treatment to offenders who have substance abuse issues.
The Greene Leaf Therapeutic Community Program has been in operation since 2002, and serves as the only residential substance abuse program within a jail facility in Ohio.
The Greene County program is a six month residential alcohol and drug treatment program that uses cognitive behavioral therapy to provide intensive substance abuse treatment that includes: Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, life skills classes, case management services, community service outings and group and individual counseling.
Miller said Medina could use Greene as a model, but would seek improve on the program.
"The difference of what we are suggesting verses what is going on in Greene County, is we are willing to begin treatment for those that are awaiting trial" Miller said.
Miller and Kimbler have recorded their discussion on the cable show "Law Talk," hosted by John Celebrezze, an attorney with the Medina law firm of Marco and Marco.
The show will air on Wadsworth Cable (WCTV) public access Channel 15, Brunswick Area Television (BAT) public access Channel 21, and Armstrong Cable public access Channel 37 in Medina County along with Clear Picture Channels 21 & 22 in Wooster and Massillon.

Playing With Your Food: Dinosaur Head Shaped Pancakes
These are the dinosaur head shaped pancakes made by Nathan Shields (of all these other insane pancakes fame). They all have separate lower jaws so you can make them talk to you while you eat breakfast.
Pancake Dino: Damn GW, you're looking goooood this morning, can I have a kiss?
Me: Tehehe, only if it's a syrupy one!
*making out with pancake, mom walks into room*
Mom: What the hell's going on in here?!
Me: He bit my tongue mom! I was trying to take a bite and he bit me!
Pancake Dino: TELL HER THE TRUTH.
Me: Mom? We're getting married!
Thanks to carey, who never plays with her food because she heard that's how you get salmonella. Haha, your mom told you that too?

A recent request by the Bridgeport Sports Boosters to bring back a 3-on-3 basketball tournament to Bridgeport Days prompted the City Council to begin a process to implement an ordinance allowing for those events.
Bridgeport Mayor, Marilyn Lynn, says the recent request requires a closure of city streets- an issue the city currently does not have an ordinance for.
Bridgeport Days is the first Saturday of June – and the council plans to draft an ordinance and complete two readings to finalize the issue before the event, which this year, falls on June 1st."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Harvesting facial images from social media sites and other collection sites allows the N.S.A. to build an arsenal of facial recognition, according to The New York Times. It is not facial images alone but also, videos and other related images.
According to a spokesperson from the N.S.A. driver license pictures and passport photos are not collected. It becomes cause for a court order when the photo of domestic citizens is targeted. The agency has increased its efforts to improve its arsenal of images to counter any foreign terrorists who are around the world and showing texts or phone calls to cells within the U.S.
The N.S.A. believes that its global effort is its job to maintain protection for American citizens and U.S. shores. The level of collection and technology employed has increased over the past four years.
Documents that were stolen from the N.S.A. in 2013 sited millions of intercepts per day and about 55,000 facial recognition images daily. The Boston bombing only emphasized the need for more of a complete profile target to be developed from facial recognition, emails, texts and other sources.
The F.B.I. facial recognition image collection is forecast that 52 million facial records will be on file by 2015. Its "next generation" collection will match facial images and finger prints. This presents a complex issue for the private citizen and use of the Internet and social media.
Google and Facebook have been viewed with caution as the issue of privacy lurks in the advancement and use of technology by these big 'net' companies. Their issues with privacy and the N.S.A., has released announcements of new features available on Facebook to address concerns on how to protect oneself from invasion from both government agencies and private companies.
In April Facebook released its new privacy log on and also a pop up item so that you know that you check your posts and to whom they are in your group.
"This new tool is designed to help people make sure they are sharing with just the audience they want. Everything about how privacy works on Facebook remains the same," released by Facebook.
Google Glass presents a different concern that people caught in the background of a picture is at privacy risk. Google Glass is not the first nor the last that will collect a trove of pictures. Privacy or lack of it is a new paradigm due to technology that will require a new definition of privacy.
Both privacy laws and other restraints are difficult to apply to the collection. Erosion of privacy is becoming a concern. "Facial recognition can be very invasive," said Alessandro Acquits, a researcher on facial recognition technology at Carnegie Mellon University. "There are still technical limitations on it, but the computational power keeps growing, and the databases keep growing, and the algorithms keep improving."
The law and the collection of facial recognition are still operating in a vacuum and a new era of defining civil liberties and protection.

Childhood Lead Poisoning Data
The EPHT Program obtains state and local data about childhood blood lead levels from the NH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. When a child is tested for lead poisoning, state and local childhood lead poisoning prevention programs collect information about the child, including the child's test results and any potential sources of lead in the child's environment. These programs share some of this information with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to compile in a national database. CDC's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program provides technical and financial assistance to state and local programs and provides national guidance and policy for the prevention and treatment of childhood lead poisoning.
- Blood Lead Levels by Birth Cohort
This indicator uses data collected by the NH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. It provides information about blood lead testing and blood lead levels among children born in the same year, known as a birth cohort. The number of children tested with blood lead levels above 10 mcg/dL cannot be interpreted as prevalence or incidence for the population. Some states require all children to be tested (universal testing) while others only require at-risk children to be tested (targeted testing). State-to-state comparisons must be made cautiously because of differences in testing policies.
- Blood Lead Testing and Housing Age
This indicator uses data collected by the NH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. It provides information about blood lead testing among children born in the same year. In addition, this indicator uses census data to provide information about the number of homes built before 1950 and the poverty level in a specific area. Having all of this information together helps assess testing within areas of high risk--pre-1950s homes and living in poverty have been identified as risk factors for elevated blood lead levels in children. However, the following limitations to these data are important to note: testing policies differ by state; census data do not account for the number of pre-1950s houses that have been renovated or have had lead removed; and this indicator does not consider other sources of lead in the community.

Dog Aggression: Training A Dominant Dog
*NOTE: This article has been modified from its original version.
Dog aggression is a serious problem, and it's usually the owner that gets hurt. While this article focuses on the dominant dog, or dominance based aggression, the idea of dominance based aggression is actually outdated and very rare. If your dog or puppy is showing signs of dominance, he may actually be showing signs of fear, possessive, or territorial aggression. (Source: The Truth About Aggression and Dominance in Dogs, Clinical Animal Behavior Service)
Causes Of Aggressive Behavior
There are a number of factors thought to contribute to the development of aggressive behavior. These causes might include breeding, hormones, medical causes, situational causes, or environmental causes such as abuse or unsuitable living conditions. (Source: Causes of Dog Aggression, K9Aggression)
Recognize The Signs
If you see any signs of aggressive behavior in your pup, it's important to get it taken care of quickly, regardless of if your dog is big or small. Some early signs might include protectiveness over food or toys, growling, aggressive barking, or snapping.
Start Young
If possible, it's important to steer your pup away from aggressive behavior at a young age. If he does show signs of aggression, start behavior training immediately. Be sure to take your pup to the vet to so you can be sure the aggression isn't due to medical problems.
Find A Specialist
If your dog is showing aggressive behavior, it's important to seek help. A behavioral specialist can guide you through the training process, to help you keep your pup's behavior under control. Without the help of a behavioral specialist, it's possible to misjudge your dog's actions and unintentionally encourage his behavior to worsen or continue.
Identify Triggers And Avoid Them
Do your best to identify what's triggering your dog's behavior. A behavioral specialist can help with this. Once you've determined what's triggering the dog to act aggressive, you can begin taking measures to control it. If possible, it's best to avoid situations that trigger aggression. If your dog is particularly aggressive, or these situations are unavoidable, consider purchasing a muzzle for safety's sake. (Source: The Truth About Aggression and Dominance in Dogs, Clinical Animal Behavior Service) A good muzzle that allows easy breathing like Baskerville Ultra Dog Muzzle might be a good choice.
Reward And Avoid Punishment
Negative reinforcement and punishments can actually encourage aggressive behavior, particularly fear-based aggression, and should be avoided. Instead, it's a good idea to focus on positive reinforcement and reward. This way, your dog can look at you for guidance instead of fearing punishment. Remember to reward your dog when he obeys a command and shows non-aggressive behavior.
Low Stress Situations
One training method includes teaching your dog commands in a low stress, no distraction situation. Find a room with little or no distractions that won't cause stress for your dog. Have him sit, and give him small treats to lessen possessive aggression and reward him for positive behavior and obeying. Gradually change the environment to increase distraction. This will help your dog get used to change and higher stress situations. Remember to be firm and consistent. If you have to take a step back to a lower distraction environment, it's okay. Try to move at your dogs pace. (Source: Possessive and Territorial Aggression in Dogs, PetMD)
Be Patient
Be extremely patient with your dog during the training process. It can be a long process, and dog aggression isn't always completely reversible. Most of the time, it can be controlled. Just remember that your dog is relying on you for a happy, comfortable life, and that it may take time for him to show less aggressive behavior.
These tips should help you to teach your pup non-aggressive behavior. Remember to seek help from a vet and a behavioral specialist to help you through the training process for the best results.

This article is really just rehashing old wives tales. Lousy.
I am surprised that these dated and mistaken ideas are still being posted. Viewing dogs as "dominant" (while most bites are related to fear/self-defense or defense of resources) leads to more conflict and aggression, a downward spiral that ends up with an injured owner and a euthanized dog (see this abstract by Herron et al http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168159108003717). There are more rational approaches to dog behavior, including aggression, available for anyone to read. Please also see http://www.dogwelfarecampaign.org/why-not-dominance.php. We can do better for both dogs and their frustrated owners! -- Ilana Reisner, DVM, PhD
Wow, these concepts have been disproven many times over, including the idea that tugging creates or encourages aggression or dominance. Too bad this blogger is 25 years behind current dog behavior theory.
Dominance is not a synonym for aggression. Sounds like "petlady" needs to go back to school. To repeat this type of information is the worst form of ignorance - willful ignorance. This article belongs in the archive with information about the earth being flat and the sun and other planets revolving around the earth.

Lady removed from Microsoft's Surface tablet launch in China
Not a fan
A CHINESE LADY has been rather unceremoniously removed from the stage at a Microsoft event because she, fairly or otherwise, wanted to call an end to the proceedings.
The stage invader appeared at the Surface tablet launch in China and from the looks of things, was either trying to draw attention to herself, stop some girls from dancing, or just stop another technology launch from happening. Our money, small though it is, is on a combination of all three.
The video shows the lady on stage doing some arm waving. Some more arm waving, not hers, takes place, and she is joined on stage by some burly security men.
They bundle her off stage and the event is allowed to carry on as normal. Well as normally as any technology event can where an old lady has taken to the stage, waved her arms around, been grabbed and removed from the premises.
According to the text under the Youtube video the lady was upset about the noise caused by the event, and there is a suggestion that it might have kept her grandchildren from going to sleep.
Whether those grandchildren are called Larry and Sergey we don't know. We suspect that the next time the family is disturbed by Chinese pop music, backing dancers and a Microsoft tablet launch, they'll just shut their windows and turn up the lullabies. µ

Brad Mehldau: River Man
River Man
Brad Mehldau (piano)
Live in Tokyo (Nonesuch 79853)
Brad Mehldau (piano).
Composed by Nick Drake.
Recorded: Live at Sumida Triphony Hall, Tokyo, February 13, 2003
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
In some circles, Mehldau may be almost as influential for his repertoire as his pianism. He has done more than any other musician of his generation to expand the concept of jazz "standards" beyond the traditional confines of Gershwin and Tin Pan Alley. Because of him, Radiohead and Nick Drake are now part of the great jazz game. Mehldau has also recorded Drake's "River Man" in an exemplary trio version, but this solo piano outing from a Tokyo concert offers a different perspective. Mehldau opens with a soothing melody statement, his left hand reminiscent of the strumming of Drake's guitar. But the textures soon get thicker and his phrases more insistent. By mid-solo he is attacking the keyboard with booming chords, harsh and angry, more Wagnerian than Drake-ish. We still encounter Mehldau's trademark "conversation between the hands," but instead of crisscrossing melodies, his two fists are hurling large harmonies back and forth at each other. We have now come full circle from the moody romanticism of the first Art of the Trio recording. This is formidable pianism, brash and challenging.

Suppressing A Pagan Revival in Russia?
Suppressing A Pagan Revival in Russia?
Global Voices points to an Open Democracy report from last month on how Mari Traditional Faith (the indigenous belief system of the Mari people in the Republic of Mari El) is facing a renewed form of "anti-religion" in Russia.
There are growing claims that Russia's controversial anti-extremism law is being used to persecute and suppress religious minorities in the formerly communist nation (with even more restrictive anti-religious passages being proposed). Some fear that a Russian government and Russian Orthodox alliance is partially to blame for growing tensions and hostilities towards resurgent forms of Paganism in Russia. A Mari text mildly critical of Christianity and Islam being labeled as "extremist", along with several other incidents, paints a grim picture. Some have even considered seeking asylum in the West.
Vitaly Tanakov, the controversial author of "A Priest Speaks" labeled "extremist" for writing lines like: "you have felled a tree, you have destroyed a living being", is now looking outside of Russia for help to fight these persecutions, and wants to reach out to other Pagan and indigenous faith traditions.
One wonders if there's a Mari representative at the ongoing World Congress of Ethnic Religions in Italy? Can indigenous traditions and revived Paganisms truly gather in a global symposium outside the purview and sponsorship of large events like the Parliament of the World's Religions? Can cultural and theological differences be overcome in order to work on a shared political agenda? These remain open questions, but I've seen a new and fragile openness from all sides towards dialog on areas of mutual interest, hopefully it can bear fruit for all sides.
For more on the Mari people and their traditional religion, check out the MariUver blog (particularly this post).

If I ask you to tell me the first retailer that comes to mind when I say the word "sports," you very well may say "Nike." And that would be totally understandable. Some of you might just say Under Armour (NYSE:UA), though, which would make a lot of sense considering how quickly this company has become a major player in such a tremendous market. And I think it's just getting started.
For its most recent quarter, Under Armour reported another stellar showing with sales of $642 million and earnings per share of $0.06 both beating expectations soundly. However, investors shouldn't worry too much about the short-term beats and misses come earnings season. Instead, focus on the longer-term metrics and trends that show the business is succeeding in a sustainable fashion.
If you take one thing away from Under Armour's most recent quarter, it should be this: 46.9%. This was Under Armour's gross margin for the quarter, and it was up from 45.9% during the same quarter a year ago. With retailers like Under Armour, gross margin tells us how much money the company is making on all the goods it sells, and higher is better.
Gross margin works in conjunction with sales, and even the company's inventory levels. If demand for the company's products is high, then it should be able to keep a healthy inventory level that keeps the product in stock while allowing the company to maintain pricing. If demand weakens and the company has to start lowering prices just to make sales, gross margin will suffer, taking the company's earnings right with it. The chart below shows how inventory and sales can work together over time:
The global sporting apparel, equipment, and footwear market is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 billion, give or take. And to think of it as an all-or-nothing game is the wrong way to go about it. There's plenty of opportunity and Under Armour is doing a phenomenal job of grabbing share thanks to excellent product, a powerful brand and smart, driven leadership. Investors looking for a long-term idea with some excellent growth prospects would be wise to keep this one at the top of their list.

Octopuses have emerged in a search for a new tasty and nutritious food source. Live Science reported on Aug. 31, 2014 that octopuses have the potential to make an ideal mass-produced food for many hungry people. Octopuses grow very quickly and have lots of tasty flesh. They are found all over the world. As the world's supply of fish diminishes while nevertheless the number of people keeps increasing octopuses have emerged as a possible ideal new food source.
The main problem that has prevented octopus farming at large scale is that the common octopus known as Octopus vulgaris is hard to feed in captivity, particularly when first born. Farmed octopus hasn't had much commercial success yet. However, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has carried out important and successful research aimed at overcoming the problems with octopus cultivation. Once the problem of feeding small octopuses in large numbers is solved the development of a full undersea octopus farming industry will be much easier.
Although octopus is not a familiar food for many people it is nevertheless common in some types of cuisine like Japanese, Mediterranean and Polynesian reports Fit Day. Octopus has many health benefits and can be prepared in many different delicious ways. This makes octopus a valuable addition to a well balanced diet.
Octopus is a good protein source which is low in calories and is a good source of iron and other minerals and vitamins as well as some omega-3 fatty acids. Octopus may therefore lower the chances of heart disease, cancer and depression. Octopus is clearly an excellent food for a good diet with low levels of fat and high levels of many important nutrients.
