OTTAWA — Canada's highest point — the ice-covered peak of Yukon's soaring Mount Logan — may be due for an official re-measurement after an American researcher on a neighbourly flyby took readings that suggest this country's superlative summit has experienced a growth spurt.
The University of Alaska aerial survey, conducted last summer with a laser altimeter by Fairbanks-based geoscientist Sandy Zirnheld, pegged Canada's geographic zenith at 5,966 metres. That's seven metres higher than the official height of 5,959 metres, determined in 1992 after a celebrated climb to the top by a team of Canadian researchers led by Mike Schmidt of the Geological Survey of Canada.
Mr. Zirnheld's surprise finding prompted a second pass and the same result -- 5,966 metres -- raising the possibility that a thickening snow pack or advances in satellite technology will force an upward revision to the landmark national statistic.
"Snow and ice accumulation is the most likely explanation," Chris Larsen, the scientist leading the University of Alaska's research on the continent's northwest mountain ranges, said.
While acknowledging Canada's on-the-ground measurement in 1992 was "probably more accurate" than his team's airborne survey, Mr. Larsen added that "it is very unlikely that the difference of seven metres is due to a difference in the accuracy of the two surveys."
That leaves increased layering of ice and snow or tectonic uplift as the probable causes of the mountain's apparent growth, says Mr. Larsen, and geological pressures "could explain -- at most -- five to 10 millimetres per year."
Mount Logan is not only Canada's tallest peak, but has also been described as the planet's "largest" mountain because of its 20-kilometre-long plateau and immense footprint within the St. Elias-Wrangell range that straddles the Yukon-Alaska border.
The mountain -- named for 19th-century scientist William Logan, founder of the Geological Survey of Canada -- is also the centrepiece of Kluane National Park, the Canadian half of a bi-national UNESCO World Heritage site encompassing a series of pristine glaciers, vast icefields and cloud-piercing summits.
Scientists have long debated the true height of Mount Logan, which was first ascended by a joint Canadian-American team of climbers in 1925. At that time, and for decades after, the mountain's height was erroneously listed as 6,050 metres -- less than 150 metres short of North America's tallest peak, Alaska's Mount McKinley, at just under 6,200 metres.
The uncertainty surrounding Mount Logan's elevation led Mr. Schmidt to propose the 1992 expedition -- sponsored by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society -- to resolve the mystery and to mark the 150th anniversary of the GSC and Canada's 125th birthday.

There really isn't anything practical about these Marabou Satin Slippers ($66). You can't wear them to take the dog out for one last pee, run to the bus to hand off a forgotten lunch, or grab the laundry from downstairs, but in spite of all that - we still really want a pair. They seem so decadent and ridiculous - we'd like to have them so we could traipse languidly around the boudoir and laze upon the chaise lounge eating bonbons and washing them down with pink champagne.

On Choosing an Ambassador
Former Ambassador Jim Jones discusses the intricacies of US-Mexico relations
Last week, Inside México spoke with former US Ambassador to Mexico James R. Jones. As Ambassador Jones was being interviewed, the Mexican newspaper El Universal reported that the Obama administration had chosen Cuban born diplomat Carlos Pascual to fill the post recently vacated by Ambassador Antonio O. Garza. The report has yet to be officially confirmed.

In this exclusive interview, Ambassador Jones, who served in Mexico City from 1993-1997, speaks about the unique challenges ofthe job, the role of the Secretary of State and the recent media focus on the battle against the Mexican drug cartels.
Inside México: In the last few weeks, Mexico has suddenly gone to the top of the news cycle. As an example, yesterday NPR, CNN and the New York Times all lead with stories on the drug-related violence in Mexico. Does this increase in coverage represent a media "'tipping point", a reflection of an actual increase in the level of violence, or both?
Ambassador Jones: Many years ago I started out as a journalist, and what I've observed is that journalists tend to run with the pack. Once one goes with the story, they all follow suit, and this is even truer in today's 24-hour news cycle, which is very competitive. The stories related to the drug war are also very sensational and violence like the beheadings attract viewers.
There has also been an increase in the intensity of the war between these criminal organizations and the Mexican government. The Mexican government, with help from the US government in terms of intelligence, has undertaken a determined effort to break these organizations. When you cut off the heads of the organizations, what ensues is a battle for leadership, and that's what you're seeing here. There is a fight for territory, for a share of the profits.
What we also need to recognize is that the violence is very localized and affects perhaps five or six states, mostly in the north of the country. Of the 8,000 deaths attributed to the drug wars, 90% of them are deaths of members of the drug organizations; 8% are law enforcement officials or military; and 2% or so are of innocent bystanders.
Now, I'm not saying that 150-200 innocent people killed is insignificant; but we do need to maintain some perspective. Most of the violence is concentrated in a few places in the north-Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Sonora, Chihuahua and only a very small part of the deaths are in other locations.
IM: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on her first official visit to Mexico. What is the role of the Secretary of State in the relationship between the United States and Mexico?
AJ:Obviously the President is the most important part of the relationship, but after that comes the Secretary of State. Secretary Clinton will be the one providing leadership to all the other areas of government as we work through our challenges with Mexico. I think we're particularly fortunate to have her in this position, because she brings sensitivity and a great deal of respect for the country and its culture. She understands the cultural differences between our countries, which is critically important to the way we deal with problems.
The role of the US in the history of its relationship with Mexico has not always been positive. Mexico has seen us as a paternalistic and preachy neighbor for much of our history, and as a result, Mexico has not always been as cooperative as the United States would have liked. But I believe what the Obama administration and Secretary Clinton bring to the table is a genuine sense of collaboration and partnership.
IM: We're anxiously waiting to hear who the Obama administration will name as Ambassador to Mexico. What are the specifics of the Ambassador's job?
AJ: The Ambassador is the frontline representative of the President of the United States on the ground. They are also a frontline reporter, giving the President firsthand information about what is really going on in the country. Additionally, they act as an interpreter to the Mexican government and Mexican people of what is happening in the United States.
It's important that the Ambassador convey a deep respect for Mexico, and that they have access to the President. I hope we'll get someone in place as soon as possible because it's a critical piece in facilitating bilateral relations.
More from Insidemex.com
During my tenure at the US Embassy from 1973 to 2001 Amb. James Jones was one of the best diplomats we ever had. He previously worked at the New York Stock Exchange. He learned Spanish from one day to the other. He was a serious, committed representative of the United States President at that time. I congratulate Insidemex for having selected him for this interview.
I underwent two of the most horrible tragedies in my life while Mr. Jones served in Mexico. Once he brought into his office my son -then just a kid- to comfort us and provide us with useful guidance, recommendations.
After I lost my home as consequence of the 1985 earthquake Amb. Jones offered me the chance I needed for survival: a part-time job outside official business hours which allowed me to carry on with delicate obligations such as my son's education in one of the most expensive private universities in this country. Also, a place to live, a roof, cover basic needs.
Many of us -citizens of Mexico- were able to receive limited financial help from US Embassy employees, extreemely useful to overcome such a horrendous tragedy. Thanks to him I received my 4th Meritorious Honor Award by the State Department on occasion of my involvement in the USG relief to assist victims of such a devastating earthquake. Amb. Jones is a Good Man..
Jefe Jim Jones, ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
This case may be of your interest, as the Secretary of State Visit to Mexico came to an end and important issues such as HUMAN RIGHTS and the .. Cuencame Case are ignored by both the US and Mexican Governments. I'd hope someone could call on DCM Leslie Basset and ask her to please contact Jose Esparza who is in the edge of an emotional collapse, as this report is going around the world and President Barack Obama's Visit to Mexico is fast approching:
Pursuant to the topic of this interview, this link of my website may offer addtional view points about Secretary of State Clinton's Visit to Mexico and the issue of the war against drugs.
This article is part of a section called
Smuggled US Firearms Fuel Drug Violence in Mexico
Also, I believe it is important to always consider, value all opinions in Mexico, to include the left.
According to Proceso magazine the new ambassador offers zero experience in Mexico or Latin American affairs..

Jaer Le-coultre Watches' personal history has been rather unusual: this Parisian interior architect and designer by profession became a watch-architect in Besancon at the end of the 80's by creating his own IWC Watches company. Luck gave a helping hand to his passion for watches. At a time when the disappearance of mechanical Breitling watchesmaking seemed almost inevitable, he joined the very restricted club of Swiss manufacturers who were behind the rebirth of the mechanical watch. In his workshop on the banks of the Doubs Omega Watchesriver, Alain Silberstein creates and produces each year with the help of his 15 assistants, including 4 watchmakers, nearly 1,000 watches in different collections. Exceptional timepieces like the tourbillon, perpetual calendar, sports chronograph watches, jewelry watches with diamonds and art watches with cloisonned dials, have again become part of the former capital of French watchmaking. Bell & Ross Watches creates watches for everyday wear that are resolutely contemporary and genuine works of art. The movements are visible through the transparent back so that the exceptional finish of the piece can be admired. In 20 years, Swiss Cartier watches has been able to demonstrate that innovation, quality and service can enable a French brandname to take its place replica watches beside the famous Swiss watchmaking names.

Press Conference Quotes
1999-00 Season Review
April 27, 2000
Arizona Head Coach Lute OlsonOn the 1999-2000 season:
"It was a difficult year in a lot of ways due to injuries and a couple of guys leaving during the season. I think that the guys responded really well."
"With Richard (Jefferson) out almost half the season and Loren (Woods) with his back problems, everyone did an excellent job. The freshmen made great progress and I don't think we could have expected more than they gave us."
On next year:
"With everyone returning and the experience the guys on the bench received, our depth -- which was a weakness last season -- will now be one of bigger strengths."
"With our experience, the way that the guys played before the injuries and the way the guys who stepped into the lineup, there should be great expectations of our team."
On Being a Possible No. 1 Next Season:
"I don't think any player who comes to Arizona doesn't come her in part because that's what they want. They want the expectations to be high -- and certainly they will be high next year. I woudn't want them to think anything less than they are going to play for the whole ball of wax. That's the way we approach every year."
On the recruits:
"Travis (Hanour) understands that there are two returning guys in the spot he plays, but with his size he can play any of three positions."
"Andrew (Zahn) gives us a big body. He is an excellent passer and a good shooter. He has size, and will be working with the weights."
On the team:
"The biggest thing now with all of the players is taking care of academics. We had less pick-up games this season than we have ever had. We felt we needed to take care of individual things."
On Loren Woods:
"Loren (Woods) has lost a lot of weight and will do all the necessary things he can to get that back and strengthen his back. He isn't going to rush into anything that will affect his full recovery."
The 2000-01 Schedule:
"If you have seen the preliminary schedule, you can see that we are in very deep in terms of the competition we are going to face. We are going to play quite a few of those on the road or neutral site locations. The Maui Invitational is loaded again as it always is (Arizona, Chaminade, Connecticut, Dayton, Illinois, Louisville, Maryland, UNLV). We will play Illinois at the United Center, Pudue in Indianapolis at the Wooden Tradition, LSU here, Texas here and we go to Connecticut. We are going to start of series with Kansas, but that doesn't look like it will start until next year."

I recently visited New York's Oscar Blandi Salon for a trim and was told I'd have to wait for a chair — they were all taken. Then, as I loitered at the receptionist's desk, I noticed her phone ringing off the hook. Huh, I thought, aren't we in the middle of a Wall Street washout? "We haven't seen any slowdown," says Kyle White, a top colorist at the salon.
Same goes for the Park Avenue office of Amy Wechsler, MD, a few blocks away. A dermatologist and psychiatrist, Wechsler tells me she's injecting as much Botox as she did a year ago. "My colleagues say they're swamped too."
So, what gives? With 401(k)s tanking, what's the source of all this disposable income?
"I don't think women are taking second jobs — they're just reprioritizing," Wechsler says. "I had a patient tell me she chose Botox over a new handbag."
Intriguing. So I asked around.
"I'm packing lunches, skipping Starbucks, and trying to take public transportation rather than driving — all of which help me keep up with haircuts and color," says Kay Leung-Helberg, 41, who works for a pharmaceutical company in New York.
Kristen Nelson Thibeault, 42, vice president of operations at TotalBeauty.com in Santa Monica, California, took some of her most expensive clothing to the tailor and had it repurposed rather than buying a new wardrobe for winter. "I used the money I saved to pay for Botox and a trainer," she explains.
And Caryn Mefford, 40, a stay-at-home mom in Edwardsville, Illinois, bought a basket for her bike and is pedaling around town to do errands. "With the cash I'm saving on gas, I'm able to splurge on pedicures," she says.
So women are doing the what-matters-most math, but what makes them rank beauty products and services over, say, a new winter coat?
"Beauty is armor, something we put on to joust with the outside world. Some women would no more leave the house without mascara than they would go out naked. To many of us, hair color or makeup is a necessity," says Judith Sills, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Philadelphia.
And for over-40 women, looking good when jobs are tight may actually be a business decision: As pressure increases, so does the need to seem totally on your game.
Mary Beth Kramer, 47, who owns a public relations firm in Yardley, Pennsylvania, feels that way. She gave up fancy dinners out in favor of roasting turkeys at home. "Now I can afford to get my nails and hair done every three weeks. In my view, looking polished helps to make my business thrive."
"Beauty is one of a woman's tangible assets. And although we may resist, even loathe, this fact, it's still a fact," Sills says. "When times are tough, women should prioritize appearance. It makes them feel more confident — which they project."
Apparently many women already realize this. For example, lipstick sales have historically gone up when the economy has gone down. "In bad times, retail suffers," says Carrie Mellage, a consumer spending analyst for Kline & Company. "But beauty tends to suffer the least."
Makeup and hair care may also simply be good salves. As makeup artist Laura Mercier, 49, says, "Beauty products are like dark chocolate. We crave them most when we need a lift."

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a codec (compressor-decompressor) which allows digital audio to be losslessly compressed such that file size is reduced without any information being lost.
Digital audio compressed by FLAC's algorithm can typically be reduced to 50–60% of its original size, and decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data.
FLAC is an open format with royalty-free licensing and a reference implementation which is free software. FLAC has support for metadata tagging, album cover art, and fast seeking.
Though FLAC playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited compared to formats like MP3 or uncompressed PCM, FLAC is supported by more hardware devices than competing lossless compressed formats like WavPack.
The FLAC project consists of:
The stream formats
A simple container format for the stream, also called FLAC (or Native FLAC)
libFLAC, a library of reference encoders and decoders, and a metadata interface
libFLAC++, an object wrapper around libFLAC
flac, a command-line program based on libFLAC to encode and decode FLAC streams
metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for .flac files and for applying ReplayGain
Input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, foobar2000, musikCube, and many more)
With Xiph.org incorporation, the Ogg container format, suitable for streaming (also called Ogg FLAC)

Sound parking enforcement is important to the health, safety and economic vitality of the City. Our dedicated and productive enforcement staff is the heart of our effective parking enforcement program. A well designed enforcement effort enables the City to maximize its use of the existing parking supply.
Strategic Parking Plan Development
In June 2014, the City engaged the consultant team of Nelson Nygaard / Desman Associates to develop a comprehensive strategic parking plan for the City.
To date, the consultant has reviewed all past City parking studies, completed an inventory of all public and private parking spaces in the study, and has held 10 stakeholder focus group meetings. Stakeholder forums included City residents, downtown business owners and employees, the State of New Hampshire, the US Federal Court, UNH Law School, landlords and developers, as well as staff from the Parking Division and the General Services Department.
A community "open house" was held on October 6, 2014 to receive public input about the City parking system. On January 28, 2015, a second public forum was held to preview the consultant's preliminary findings and recommendations for the study.
City Administration plans to present the final study to the City Council in February or March.

Ahmed Bahram, Maher Bahram (2009) Dual band aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna using different aperture shape for wireless LAN application. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
- Submitted Version
Restricted to Repository staff only
A wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application nowadays has become more popular. Since it allows users to access network services without being tethered to a wired infrastructure. Point to point and point to multipoint communication brings a crucial responsibility to antennas since they are expected to provide the wireless transmission between those devices. In high performance point to point and point to multipoint application where size, weight, cost, performance, ease of installation are constraints, low profile antenna is very much required. To meet these requirements, microstrip antenna preferred. Microstrip antenna is currently one of the fastest growing segments in the telecommunications industry and promise to become the preferred medium of telecommunications in the future. Although microstrip antenna has several advantages, it also has several disadvantages such as low gain and narrow bandwidth. These disadvantages can however be overcome by constructing many patch antennas in array configuration. With the modern increase in the use of microwave frequencies in communication and radar applications, certain antenna performance requirements are needed and should be an integral part of the design process. For example, GPS (Global Positioning System), WLAN (Wireless Local area network) are all applications that share a common requirement in their antennas. They all require an antenna that is small in size and volume, low in cost and weight, easy to design, and can perform efficiently at two distinct frequencies that may be separated far apart. Two Dual band aperture coupled microstrip antennas using elliptical and triangular aperture shape operating at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz was designed, fabricated and tested. These designs were simulated with Computer Simulation Technology and tested with Hand Held Spectrum Analyzer. Both, simulated and measured data were compared and contrasted.

Cameron Diaz is happy not having children at 41, and loves being her age. "If I wanted kids, at any point in life, I would have them," Diaz told the Telegraph.
Cameron said she would adopt immediately if she felt the urge to become a mom, but that's not her priority right now. Diaz said she's enjoying her life and refuses to give in to pressure to get married or have children because that's what's expected of her at this age.
"This is the best time of my life," said Cameron. "I love being this age. I can't wait to be older."
'Love and Take Care of Your Body'
Of course, when you look as great as Diaz does, it's easy to feel good at any age. Not surprisingly, she said her healthy diet, daily workouts and a positive attitude fuel her zest for life. Cameron has starred in numerous blockbuster films, but said writing her book, The Body Book is one of her proudest achievements.
"I wrote it because a lot of women don't see themselves as beautiful," she said. "Once you understand how your body works at a cellular level, you're able to have the body you're meant to. And I'm not talking about a body like mine that's skinny, or a body you think is better than yours. I'm talking about having a real relationship with your own body."
Diaz said once if we truly understood how to take care of our physical health, we wouldn't wish we were younger or thinner, but instead would develop a greater appreciation for our bodies exactly as they are.
Cameron accepts that aging means a certain level of physical deterioration, but that doesn't mean we have to fear getting older.
"Getting older is not just about your butt dropping, it means that our bodies start to break down and we die," she said. "But the journey from here to there doesn't have to be one of hatred, wishing you looked like you did when you were 25."
'I Feel Better at 41 Than I Did at 21'
Diaz, who said she feels better at 41 than she did at 21, said overhauling her diet made a huge difference in her skin and her energy level. "I used to eat fried food from morning to night when I was in my 20s," she told USA Today.
"As I get older, I realized I was working a little bit harder at digesting what I was eating, and I thought it is not fair to my body to keep doing this. If you are giving it a bunch of crap all the time, it will break down quicker and deteriorate quicker, so I stopped."
These days, Diaz's low-carb diet consists mostly of healthy proteins such as chicken, fish, steak and shrimp, and grilled vegetables. Cameron also eats sprouts and seeds and avoids white foods such as white bread and pasta. Her preferred breakfast is egg whites, sautéed tomatoes, and steel-cut oatmeal.
Diaz maintains her hot bikini body by exercising daily, combining running, strength-training, and Pilates workouts. She isn't opposed to plastic surgery if it makes you feel better, but said she won't get Botox anymore because she didn't like how it made her look. "I've tried Botox before, but it changed my face in such a weird way," she said.
For now, Diaz is relishing the present and is moving forward with her trademark optimism and enthusiasm. "I'm very much a person who lives in the moment," she said. "When you come from where I do, there are so many ways my life could have gone."
For more of Cameron's diet, workout, beauty and happiness secrets, check out The Body Book.

Jordan demands Libya pays up on hospital bills
Jordanian hospitals are feeling the strain due to the delay in the Libyan government's payment of patients' outstanding bills, which exceed JD120 million, a senior official said on Tuesday.
In a meeting with Izzel Din Ruz, the Libyan chargé d'affaires in Amman, Minister of Health Abdul Latif Wreikat called for immediate action to settle the issue.
The minister said hospitals are being burdened by the debt and the Libyan government should pay at least 25 per cent of the total outstanding dues, so that hospitals that are in financial difficulty can operate and continue to provide services.
Wreikat added that Jordan trusts the Libyan government's commitment to settle the bills of Libyans who received treatment in the Kingdom, but some hospitals cannot handle any further delay.
Stressing that his country is committed to settling the bills, Ruz said some details related to the issue need to be discussed.
Approximately 60,000 Libyan patients came to Jordan in the aftermath of the North African country's revolution last year.
According to an informed source, who requested anonymity, the Kingdom's hospitals have only received 15 per cent of the total treatment bill of JD150 million.
The Libyan government's representatives in Jordan announced more than once that there will be no further delay in paying the dues.
At a press conference on September 14, Ali Bin Jalil, head of the Libyan health office in Amman, said his country is "committed" to paying its dues.
"We are keen to keep our distinguished relations with Jordan," he stressed.
Bin Jalil criticised some local news media outlets for "exaggerating" the issue in their reporting, noting that the Kingdom's hospitals had cooperated with Libyans in times of crisis and "we will pay our debts".
Libyan patients were sent to 44 countries for treatment, he explained, of which, 14 countries, including Jordan, had the lion's share.
"We have to wait until the auditing company finishes its work to estimate them," he said at the time, noting that the Libyan authorities had already paid a total of $202 million (around JD143.1 million) to Jordanian hotels and hospitals.

|Integration of singular foliations and usage
|GAP Seminar
|Iakovos Androulidakis, University of Athens
|We discuss two aspects of integration, one in the (classical) spirit of Sophus Lie and the other in the framework of operator algebras. Starting from the context of regular foliations, we explain the evolution of these processes first to the almost regular case by C. Debord, and finally to singular foliations in full generality (joint work with G. Skandalis). We also give the use of these integration processes; the first integration provides a normal form of the foliation around a (singular) leaf, and the second leads to calculations of the spectrum for longitudinal Laplace operators.

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $F$ and $\{W_i\}_{i\in I}$ a collection of subspaces of $V$. Let $K$ be an extension field of $F$. If $I$ is finite then it is easy to see that $$\big(\bigcap_{i\in I} W_i\big)\otimes_F K=\big(\bigcap_{i\in I} W_i\otimes_F K \big).$$ Is this true also when $I$ is infinite?

Yes, but I don't have as nice an argument as one might want, seemingly because "intersection" as categorical object has the natural maps going to it, rather than from, while the tensor product has maps going the opposite direction...?
But, nevertheless, the intersection has a basis (Axiom of Choice?), and extends to a basis of each $W_i$. It is not hard to prove that an "extension of scalars" of a free module produces a free module with "the same" generators, in the sense that they are images of the originals.
Thus, the intersection of the $W_i\otimes_F K$'s is no larger than the tensor product with the intersection.

The Olympic Women's Ski Jumping was the debut of another Sochi Olympic sport on Tuesday. The chance to see Olympic Ski Jumping with the men competing had viewers watching the Olympic sport years ago. It's amazing to see the athletes fly through the sky. However, the female competitors weren't so lucky until 2014. Now with the women looking for the best in the ski jumping world, it seems all eyes are in the air. According to NBC Sports on Tuesday, the Germany's Carina Vogt made history as the first women to win the women's ski jumping.
While viewers were watching the athletes literally fly in the sky there was a certain curiosity about the Olympic ski ramp. The ski grooves seems to hold the skis in place and move the athlete down the ramp so fast it barely offers a moment to think. The athletes need to be emotionally prepared to ride the air once off the jump, but what is moving those skis so fast on the ramp?
According to Yahoo News that strip seen under the skis on the ski jump ramp is ice. Solid, cold and completely controlled. Once the skis touch the top of the ice the athlete glides down the ramp with nothing but a push and gravity.
Scary, eh?
The grooves are made of ceramic and a layer of ice 20 millimeters thick is on the top of this so it can be warm outside, but the ice is still cool and ready to ride. Offering a slick slope, the ski ramp isn't for amateurs. The skis travel down the track and at the end the athletes fly into the sky. Or crash. Thankfully nobody took a dive off the ramp in the competition on Tuesday.
The ladies proved in the debut of the Olympic Women's Ski Jumping they can handle the speed just fine!

Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy was arrested during a probe into the fatal shooting of a local rap promoter earlier this week, Mountain View (Calif.) authorities are saying. Police say that while investigating the death of a man shot backstage early Sunday morning, they uncovered what they described as illegal firearms, the Associated Press reported Aug. 26. He was arrested under suspicion of possessing illegal firearms.
Mountain View police spokesman Sgt. Saul Jaeger said that the rapper (real name: Jay Wayne Jenkins) was taken into custody Sunday. He and five other people were arrested while detectives were executing a search warrant at the Verizon Amphitheatre in Irvine, Calif. The six were then taken to the Orange County jail.
According to EOnline, Young Jeezy was being held on $1 million bail. The weapons charge was made after Mountain View police searched the rapper's tour bus and found the firearm.
Jaeger maintained that none of those arrested have been identified as suspects in the killing of 38-year-old Eric Johnson, who, authorities say, was shot five times at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View. Young Jeezy had co-headlined a concert on Friday night with Pittsurgh rapper Wiz Khalifa.
Officials were quick to affirm that Wiz Khalifa did not appear to be in any way connected to the deceased. However, the promoter was at the "Under The Influence Tour" show promoting an after-party in San Jose.
At least one witness saw Johnson and an unknown man together earlier engaged in an altercation. Still, the suspect has yet to be identified. The investigation is also hampered by a lack of surveillance footage.
Shino Tanaka of Mountain View Police said in a statement (per KTVU in Oakland):"We don't have any surveillance video as far as I know at this point in time. That's why we are looking to the public to assist us."
The suspect is described as a black man in his 20s with short hair, who stands between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall. The weapon used in the shooting at the Wiz Khalifa and Young Jeezy concert has yet to be recovered as well.
Young Jeezy's arrest marks the latest incident in which an Atlanta rapper has been charged for allegedly possessing an illegal firearm. In March 2009, T. I. was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for possessing machine guns and silencers. As Reuters reported, he had faced 20 years in prison but doing 1,000 hours of community service (mostly anti-drug and anti-gang public service) while touring the U. S. as part of a plea deal saw his sentence reduced dramatically.

The complete title of this article is really "Good News for Unemployed, Underemployed, Laid Off and Otherwise Professionally Lost People." It will also appear in the August edition of the newsletter of the Fellowship of Global Christian Jobseekers (globaljobseekers.org) If you have questions or comments you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What a great weekend! Seems like I have been talking about Jesus since Friday night! And I love to talk about Jesus. I love it because at those moments I feel like I'm doing what God put me here to do. I love it because it was so natural and so easy and just seemed to flow out effortlessly.
No strife, no stress, no constant nagging feeling like I hoped I was saying the right thing. God was just doing it through me. This is what makes me feel like I'm fulfilling the call of God on my life more than just about anything else. And, of course, that is the Great Commission and what we're supposed to be doing.
Jesus told his disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28: 19, 20) You may wonder how do you do this if you are unemployed, underemployed, laid off or otherwise professionally lost?
First, the Bad News
One of the things that really helped me this week to be able to share my faith so freely was that I had been reading a little book put out by Seabury Press, called Exploring Faith and Life: A Journey In Faith For Junior High by Barbara Wolf. I highly recommend it.
If I had read this book at age 12, perhaps it would not have taken me as long to become a Christian. What I got out of it was the plainest presentation of the gospel I have every seen. Made me wish everything I read was written for junior high age people.
You probably are not junior high age if you are reading this. But I bet you can still relate to this. The book talks about how we are all trying to get back to the "natural happiness represented by the Garden (of Eden)...Like fish out of water, we cannot be what we want and ought to be...as human beings, we have lost our place and we don't seem to be able to get home again."
Then, the Good News
Some of us feel like "a fish out of water," or like we've "lost our place" in the workforce. It feels like we're a "square peg in a round hole," or a "round peg in a square hole." I've never been sure which it was. Being laid off, or failing to accomplish a career goal, being underemployed, or unemployed, all of these things can make us feel lost.
The amazing thing is that the answer for a person misplaced in the job market is the same as for the person who has not found their way to God by repenting of sin and allowed Jesus Christ to be their Savior. Jesus came to take away our sin, and this is a lifelong process. And when you are in a professional bind of some kind, this can be part of that process.
One of my favorite Scriptures is Colossians 2:6: "As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him." Verse 7 goes on to say, "rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." The Good News is Jesus is still the answer! Just like getting saved again (sort of). You may even have some sins to repent of.
An Opportunity to Learn to Trust
So in times like this, if you can, think of this time, first of all, instead of panicking and applying for 76 jobs, as a time to come to Jesus for – salvation! Only this time not necessarily salvation of your soul (although it may feel like it), but salvation of your work life, your professional life, your calling, if you will.
You have to come to then end of something in order to begin something new. You may not know exactly what that may consist of, but God does. This is an opportunity for you to strengthen your faith in the Lord, your witness for him, by being thankful and deepening your roots in Christ. God is making you a better minister of his, so if you need to, fasten your seat belt and get ready for an adventure.
Two Steps to Follow
So, here are some conclusions. First of all, be thankful. Remember we are to be thankful in all circumstances (I Thessalonians 5:18). As you look to Him, God will deliver you of all your fears. (Psalm 34:4)
Second, remember, God knows all about it and he has promised to take care of you, right? (Philippians 4:19)Because you are His, you are His responsibility. Of course, you have to seek Him and His will, and "if you don't work neither should you eat."(II Thessalonians 3:10). But the second point is to seek the kingdom of God and all his righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
Finally, pray and ask God for wisdom, then follow His instructions. James said, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind..."
So I pray for you as you embark on the next step of the journey of your special calling that God has placed on your life. God is preparing you to fulfill the Great Commission in greater measure than previously.
Father, let my brother or sister who is struggling with a transition in his or her professional life to be at peace, to rest in You, that You would comfort and motivate them to seek Your kingdom with all their heart. Bless them with abundant provision, wisdom, a sense of Your presence as they are promoted in their walk with You. In Jesus' Name and for His glory. Amen.

The Oklahoma Sooners Signing Day 2014 news might have overshadowed a Bob Stoops announcement about the future of the quarterbacks on his roster. With Justice Hanson signing with the Sooners, Bruce Feldman of CBSSports reported that Stoops announced on Feb. 5 that former starting quarterback Blake Bell will move to tight end in 2014.
When Landry Jones graduated from OU, the quarterback position was open to battle between incumbent Blake Bell and freshman Trevor Knight. Bell was the fan favorite thanks to the Belldozer formation but Knight had a lot of promise.
Knight won the job in 2013 but played horribly in his first starts, and after an injury, Bell came in and took over. Bell broke Sooners' passing records in his first start and ended up beating both Notre Dame and Oklahoma State in two starts. However, he struggled as the season wore on and Stoops chose to start Trevor Knight in the Sugar Bowl.
After Knight had the best game of his career in that game, he solidified himself as the Sooners' starting quarterback in 2014. That made it look like Blake Bell might follow Kendal Thompson out of Norman, transferring somewhere that he could possibly start.
Now, it seems like that won't happen because Stoops wants to work Bell at tight end and give him that Belldozer weapon back into the offense with Knight at quarterback. Stoops is also excited about Justice Hansen joining the Sooners on Signing Day 2014 to be the heir to Knight down the line.

In this chapter, the complexity and the unique nature
of plant carbohydrate metabolism have been presented.
The differences between this form of metabolism in plants
and that in other organisms stem from two factors.
First, unlike other organisms,
plants metabolize carbohydrates in two compartments,
the cytosol and plastids, with most of the biosynthetic
activity occurring in the latter compartment. All plant
tissues have plastids, but the primary metabolic activity
of these organelles varies extensively. The metabolic
activity of a tissue as a whole is determined to a large
extent by the enzyme complement of the plastids it contains.
This characteristic of plant cells has a major impact
on the regulation and characteristics of the carbohydrate
metabolism pathways that generate building blocks for
the biosynthetic activities localized in the plastids.
Carbohydrate metabolism
in the cytosol is connected with plastid metabolism
by a series of carriers in the plastid envelope. Each
plastid type has a different group of carriers, which
usually reflects the nature of the biosynthetic activity
within the organelle. Universally present, however,
is the TPT, which exchanges triose phosphate for inorganic
phosphate. The overall regulation of carbohydrate metabolism
is linked to the activity of this and the other transporters.
The TPT connects the cytosol with the plastid stroma
at about the midpoint of the glycolytic pathway. For
this reason, the regulation of glycolysis differs from
that in other organisms, in which metabolism is regulated
by the supply of nutrients.
Second, all cells in
a plant have to withstand changes in the external environment
without the homeostatic mechanisms that stabilize the
milieu surrounding animal cells. This has led to an
inherent flexibility in plant metabolism reminiscent
of that seen in some microorganisms. Often, several
enzymes can catalyze a single step in a pathway. Certain
of these enzymes appear to bypass principal reactions
involved in carbohydrate metabolism, although mechanisms
for the control of these bypasses have yet to be elucidated.
Some of the most fundamental
aspects of plant metabolism, such as the role of pyrophosphate
and the control of its concentration, are still not
understood. Considerable opportunities for future discovery
await those who read this chapter and wish to pursue
a better understanding of plant carbohydrate metabolism
and its regulation.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientists with the International Stem Cell Initiative (ISCI) determined a set of common gene expression markers that could be used to reliably characterize diverse human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines.
The ISCI carried out a comparative study of a large and diverse collection of hESC lines from 17 laboratories in the U.S., Europe, Israel, Japan, and Australia. They used several approaches to identify a reliable set of genetic markers to characterize hESCs, which included profiling 93 genes in 59 different cell lines.
The team used Applied Biosystems' 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System and custom TaqMan® Arrays to identify six genetic markers and 14 additional genes highly correlated with a key pluripotency marker in all the cell lines tested.
Another finding from this first phase of the ISCI project was that all the cell lines studied shared a number of key molecular signatures, despite different genetic constitutions and the various culture techniques to which they have been subjected. The scientists expect that these newly identified molecular markers may be used to validate the potential of individual hESC lines to differentiate into other types of cells.
As a result of this ISCI study, Applied Biosystems has developed the TaqMan Array Human Stem Cell Pluripotency Panel, which targets 96 genes for independent monitoring of hESC lines to help investigators compare cell lines derived from diverse sources.
The next phase of the ISCI work, according to the investigators, will add hESCs to the study to verify their initial results and will test the effects of different culture media on hESC growth and differentiation and on genetic changes in these cells. A comprehensive registry of the ISCI cell lines and their molecular characteristics is now publicly available.
The study is published in the July issue of Nature Biotechnology.

The Ottawa Senators announced Monday that they had signed starting goaltender Craig Anderson to a three-year contract extension. The deal, which will kick in for the 2015-2016 season, will carry an average annual value of $4.2 million.
Acquired in 2011 from the Colorado Avalanche, Anderson was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season; when he will complete a four-year contract worth $12.75 million. In 53 games for the Senators last season, the 33-year-old netminder had 25 wins and four shutouts, with a 3.00 goals against average and a .911 save percentage.
A third round selection by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Anderson has in 371 NHL games, with a .915 save percentage and a 2.75 goals against average. In 23 career playoff games, Anderson has a .926 save percentage and a 2.60 goals against average. In addition to the aforementioned teams, the Park Ridge, Illinois native also played for the Florida Panthers.
The goaltending situation in Ottawa now seems solidified going forward, as the team signed fellow netminder Robin Lehner to a three-year extension last month. Lehner's deal carries an average annual value of $2.225 million. In his first full season as Anderson's primary backup, the 23-year-old Lehner played in 36 games (winning 12), with a .913 save percentage and a 3.06 goals against average last season.
The Senators have spent a lot of time taking care of their own as of late. They signed forward Clarke MacArthur to a five-year contract extension last week. His deal has an average annual value of $4.65 million.
