Mathematical tools for evolutionary systems biology (13w5080)
Ryan Gutenkunst (University of Arizona)
Laurence Loewe (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Peter S. Swain (SynthSys, University of Edinburgh)
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from three domains: mathematics, systems biology, and evolutionary biology. Both systems biology and evolutionary biology constantly challenge mathematics because of the complexity of the systems they study. By bringing biologists from these two fields together with mathematicians, we plan to initiate the development of new mathematics to bring the two disciplines together and therefore strengthen the application of theory to biology.
Evolutionary systems biology is currently emerging as a hot, new topic in both systems biology and evolutionary biology. Technological advances in genome sequencing and in the quantitative study of single cells have fueled an enormous development of new theory in biology. The data these technologies create has allowed researchers to quantitatively assess why a biochemical system or a whole organism has its observed phenotype. In both disciplines, it is only now that these innovations have been assimilated within the discipline and that the overlaps and common goals between disciplines are being recognized.
The quantization of molecular biology is beginning to impact the more mathematically mature evolutionary biology, and techniques from evolutionary biology are being adopted by systems biologists, but such changes are happening piecemeal. The overall goal of our BIRS workshop is to catalyze this transition.
The time is ripe now to bring together experts for discussing mathematical techniques that are important to propel the field forwards. In particular, we will focus on:
- Rigorous simulation mechanisms: forward simulations in systems biology and evolutionary biology and ecology frequently employ the same underlying techniques. Both disciplines will benefit from learning the `tricks' of the other.
- Navigating complex model and parameter spaces: the high dimensional adaptive landscape of evolutionary biology and the high dimensional parameter space of models in systems biology will benefit from techniques that summarize important features of these spaces.
- Hierarchical models: biochemical models describe what happens within cells, yet cells comprise basic building blocks for evolutionary models despite their inherent complexity. Multi-scale mathematics provides a means to combine these models and again would benefit both fields.
- Inference techniques: estimating parameters and distinguishing between models are fundamental to both fields and methods developed in one are often straightforwardly applied to the other.

The New Orleans Saints provided some buzzkill for about 1,200 season-ticket holders this week when they informed them that their seats will no longer exist in the Superdome because of the relocation of the press box to the upper level on the home-field side.
The team is confident that every fan will eventually be relocated, though they might have to move to more expensive sections. But for now, some 300 account holders are in limbo at the top of the waiting list.
"We are going to do everything possible. I want happy people. I want happy season ticket holders," said the Saints' vice president of ticket and suite sales, Michael Stanfield, who said that based on his experience he strongly believes everyone can be accommodated.
"Hopefully we can offer them a range of choices. We want them to be satisfied," Stanfield said.
In a worst-case scenario, another 3,400 seats will be added to the Superdome as part of further reconstruction in 2011, and the displaced season-ticket holders would remain on the top of the waiting list next year.
But even fans who are confident that the Saints will deliver new seats are still disappointed that they have to move, for a number of reasons.
Metairie's Alton Adams, 30, said one of his first thoughts was that he's going to miss the people around him who have become close friends over the past five years in Section 637. In fact, he said, he turned down the opportunity to move up to better seats in the past because of that camaraderie.
Adams said he is also concerned that he and many other fans will have to pay more than the $30 he was spending per seat this past year.
"Will they get it taken care of? Will they make every effort? I think they will. But I think I'll have to end up paying more money," Adams said. "And I understand that we're the sacrificial lambs and this is a necessary evil. But coming off the heels of the first world championship, if I'm not in that Dome when they're dropping that banner for the opening game, oh, I'd like to lose my mind. I would be very, very, very upset."
The plans for reconstruction were part of the new long-term lease agreement between the Saints and the state of Louisiana, which was agreed upon last May and helped clinch the Superdome's bid to host Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
The press box, which is currently located on the suite level of the home-field side behind the lower and upper decks, will be replaced by new suites.

Dogo-onsen Hot Spring
Japan's oldest hot spring with 3,000 year history draws many tourists and residents.
Dogo-onsen Hot Spring, located in Matsuyama, the capital of Ehime, is the oldest spa in Japan, which is said to have 3,000 year history. A legend says that it healed a deity's illness in ancient time. Its good quality of the spring, noteworthy tradition, and easy access from downtown have made Dogo-onsen the most popular destination.
The Main Building (Honkan), the symbol of Dogo spa resort, is a communal bathhouse erected in 1894. The magnificent three story castle-like wooden structure is the first public bathhouse designated as an important cultural asset in its 100 years anniversary. It is also known as a model of the bathhouse of gods in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Spirited Away". It has a watchtower with red glass windows on the roof, where they beat a time-telling drum three times a day, in the morning and the evening, and at noon. Moreover, the Honkan has a special bath called "Yushinden". It is the bath exclusive to the Imperial Family, which is only one of its kinds in Japan (a sightseeing tour provided). Take a bath, and sit back and relax in cotton yukata in a spacious tatami salon, or a private room with tea and sweets.
Strolling in this neighborhood is another amusement here. Dogo Shopping Arcade with souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants stretches from the front of Honkan. Retro-flavored Dogo-onsen Station stands on the other entrance of the arcade, where you may enjoy a restored locomotive "Botchan Train" beeping or the puppet clock tower acting with its music. Taking a rickshaw is an idea for an easy and joyful guided tour. Another few minutes walk takes you to sightseeing spots such as Shiki Memorial Museum, Isaniwa-jinja Shrine, or Hogon-ji Temple. In 20 minutes walk or five minutes bus-ride, you can reach Ishite-ji Temple, the 51st of 88 temples in Shikoku Pilgrimage.
From Tokyo:[Air]1h 20 min from Haneda to Matsuyama Airport, and 40 min from the airport to Dogo-onsen by bus.[Rail]3h 20 min from Tokyo to Okayama Station by JR Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen Line. 2h 40min from Okayama to Matsuyama Station by JR Seto-ohashi/Yosan Line (limited express), and 20 min from Matsuyama to Dogo-onsen Station by street cars.
From Osaka:[Air]50 min from Itami to Matsuyama Airport.[Rail]45 min from Shin-Osaka to Okayama Station by Shinkansen.

I live in Macon, GA. Three weeks ago I had a shed delivered to my backyard. The President of the Association said we had to remove it as it was a violaton of the HOA covenants. He also said that since we lived on the lake, he pursued those violations more than homes not on the lake. We also got a letter in the mail stating we should remove the shed. My husband and I drove around the subdivision and took pictures of more than 50 HOA covenant violations. We sent the pictures to the HOA with the addresses on the back of each photo. A week later we received a letter stating if the shed was not removed within a week, we would be charged a fee, and if the fee was not paid, a lien would be put on our home. I had the shed removed. However, other violations of the Restrictive Covenants are still in place, a couple of sheds, boats on trailers in driveways and yards, and satellite dishes that can be seen from the street. I believe we have been discriminated against since all these other Covenant Violations have not been dealt with and WE are not being represented by the HOA, but singled out to obey the Covenants.
Thank You.

The European Commission has held a conference and a working group on customs and chemicals.
Customs and Chemicals:
Towards a new European Customs Inventory of Chemical Substances
Brussels , Albert Borschette Conference Centre
on 20-21 January 2005.
The ECICS database is an essential customs tool for anyone dealing with chemical substances in international trade (legislators, industries, traders, customs, tax, health, environment, consumer and statistical authorities), since it provides an easy means of finding the customs classification and the CAS number of goods, and thus of establishing the customs duties, other charges and non-tariff measures applicable to the import and export of chemical substances.
Furthermore, since it is translated into all the languages of the European Union, it is a valuable dictionary for translators, interpreters, journalists and scientists.
ECICS is currently undergoing renovation.
Apart from simply creating a new database, it is the ideal opportunity to discuss new possibilities and concepts in the trade and the control of chemical substances. Particular attention is notably given to
- electronic customs procedures
- trade facilitation
- traceability in the context of environment, health, fraud and security
- complex products and articles or apparatus containing dangerous chemicals
- new languages
- co-operation and communication.
This conference gathered about 130 participants from all EU Member States, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Norway and Switzerland, from the European Commission, European Chemicals Bureau, European Environment Agency, European Medicines Agency, OLAF, Customs, Customs laboratories, Ministries of Environment, Health, Economy, Trade, Export control, Agriculture, International Organization for Standardization, World Customs Organization, World Health Organization, CEFIC and industries
Main conclusions
- Firstly the participants expressed a real satisfaction for the organization of this very open conference and to be consulted in the renovation of ECICS.
- Stakeholders expressed real interests and needs, amongst them,
- the facilitation of trade by giving a legal value to the customs classifications in ECICS and by gathering/simplifying the numerous formalities necessary in the import/export of chemicals (eCustoms, single window, one stop shop), and
- the protection of the society, environment, health and budget by improving and extending ECICS and by using European or international identifiers in legislations and customs clearance.
- Complex products and articles or apparatus containing dangerous chemicals are a difficult issue, they need a reliable classification in legislations and customs clearance but they go far beyond the traditional content of ECICS.
- New languages should be added as soon as possible, those of new Member States but also those of neighbouring countries.
- ECICS will be redesigned and extended as soon as possible, considering mainly two types of users: on one hand, the European Commission, the Customs Code Committee and the Customs laboratories which need an extensive and detailed source of information on chemicals and, on the other hand, Customs offices and economic operators which need less but reliable information.
- The continuous update of ECICS in the future, on a long term basis, is of paramount importance.
- Several similar databases are currently in use or in project but with different goals and contents; a close co-operation will start to exchange data, to link applications and to avoid duplication of work and divergences.
Should you wish to comment or take part in the discussions, please send an electronic mail to email@example.com . Any request for further information may also be sent by email to this address.

I get a kick out of the left and the right sometimes. I am saying this, because of this story right here.
Via NBC News:
A confidential Justice Department memo concludes that the U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they are believed to be "senior operational leaders" of al-Qaida or "an associated force" — even if there is no intelligence indicating they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.
The 16-page memo, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News, provides new details about the legal reasoning behind one of the Obama administration's most secretive and controversial polices: its dramatically increased use of drone strikes against al-Qaida suspects abroad, including those aimed at American citizens, such as the September 2011 strike in Yemen that killed alleged al-Qaida operatives Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. Both were U.S. citizens who had never been indicted by the U.S. government nor charged with any crimes.
…and of course, an all out whine-fest started on the left and the right. Which totally cracks this independent blogger up. My question to the left whiners is this; are you not the same people that bitched and whined for 8 solid years about a war that was basically started over a false premise? I mean, I happen to be one of the bloggers, who sat and wrote about how damned horrible this war in Iraq really was and how it was senseless that we were sending American soldiers to die in some foreign land, because George W. Bush was given some bad intelligence, as we all know now. You see, I started blogging in 2006, as a left of center blogger; and I remember how the left used that war as their pet issue. Those same people quickly dropped that issue, when President Obama took office.
These same people are now complaining, because the United States has the ability now to send in unmanned drones to do the dirty work, without having to send in groups of troops to risk getting killed. Wake up and smell the coffee people, you do not want terrorists blowing stuff up in your cities, and you do not want war; but yet, when technology makes a way for the USA to get rid of the terrorists, without war, without our Country's boots on the ground — you complain about it! Here's the memo — stop your silly bellyaching and be glad we have a way to get rid of these terrorists, who want to kill you and your little puppy dog too.
Now, as for the right; I really find this one to be particularly hilarious as well. The right is in full on, "Oh no! Obama has drones and because he is black and a democrat, he might just use it on we white Conservatives!" 😯 Well, that is not exactly what they are saying; but it is basically what they are thinking. My question to these uppity white people, who are so scared of this black President, because he happens to have drones in the air, ridding the world of Islamic Terrorists is this; where in the heck were you idiots, when Bush was doing this same very damned thing? You were praising him, that is what! But, because Obama is black and is a Democrat, the Conservative concern tolls are out in full force.
Again, I hate to be such an a-hole about this; but I have blogging for 7 long years people and this here really cracks me up. The steaming pile of hypocrisy on the left and the right both stink to the high heavens. Sometimes, some people just need to truly shut the hell up and be glad that the American Government is protecting us and not having to kill our American soldiers in the process.
That is all…

The Samsung Galaxy Note is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2014, but so far solid information about the phone has been hard to come by, however a post made by AnTuTu on June 21 seemingly confirms the specifications of the new phablet from Samsung.
Two versions of the Galaxy Note 4 have been tested on the popular Android benchmarking application AnTuTu, and the results have been posted for everyone to see. AnTuTu is a application that is designed to let users see how powerful their device really is, and it also lists all of the internal components of the device. Samsung will be releasing a Note 4 powered by their own Exynos SoC (System on a chip), and a Qualcomm Snapdragon version too.
The two model numbers listed on AnTuTu are the SM-N910C and SMN910S, the former is powered by the Exynos chip, and the later will be powered by the new Snapdragon 805 processor which has been clocked at 2.5GHz. The Exynos version of the device will arrive with a next generation ARM Cortex A53 processor, and it will be paired with ARM's state of the art Mali-T760 graphics processor, while the Snapdragon version will be the first phone to use the new Adreno 420 graphics chip.
One of the big rumors about the Note 4 seems to have been confirmed as well. The Note 4 will feature a stunning 5.5-inch QHD display, which will output a resolution of 2560x1440. AnTuTu also confirms that the Galaxy Note 4 will be packing 3GB of RAM, and will come with 32GB of storage space as standard, much like its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 3.
Photography fans will also be pleased to hear that the Galaxy Note 4 will come a much better camera than the Note 3. The 13-megapixel shooter on the Note 3 was really the phablets weakest link, but the Note 4 will feature a 16-megapixel rear facing camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), and a upgraded 3.6-megapixel front facing camera, which will be perfect for selfie lovers.
Surprisingly the flagship Galaxy Note 4 will only ship with Android KitKat 4.4.3, but of course all of these specifications could quite easily change between now, and the expected release in September. Thanks to AnTuTu we now have a better idea of what to expect from Samsung's next big flagship device. One thing for sure is that September will be a month to remember in the smartphone world, as Samsung's Note 4 will release around the same time as Apple's new iPhone 6.

Spring is officially here.
While driving to Fresno one can witness the fields and foothills of the lower elevation change from brown to bright green. During the next few weeks from this green carpet, the brilliant colors of yellow, purple, white, red and orange wild flowers will emerge from their winter slumber.
One area that you must visit is the corridor along Highway 140. From Mariposa drive through Midpines and follow the highway down to Briceburg. As the highway follows the Merced River, look up at the western canyon walls and enjoy the floral display of the orange colored Poppies that cover the canyons and mountain sides.
Proceed past the two detour bridges that cross the river. After driving a short distance, on the right will be a sign which reads Savage Trading Post and the Hite's Cove Trailhead.This nine mile round trip hike will take you away from the highway and introduce you to a moderate trail with only 200 feet of elevation gain.
While following this scenic trail upstream along the Merced River, you will be rewarded with many species of native wildflowers. Dominating the landscaping are the Orange California Poppies. Followed by the White Popcorn flower, Yellow Goldfields, Red Indian Paintbrush, Golden Brodieia (Pretty Face) and Purple Bush Lupine just to mention a few of almost 20 different species of wildflowers. During the spring the depth of the Merced River changes with the snow melt and landscaping photos will be a plus to your portfolio.
Before reaching Hite's Cove, along this historic trail is discarded mining machinery displaying the erosion of time and weather. Next hike past the area of mining tailings, within a few hundred yards left of the trail are foundations from previous dwellings that were destroyed during the forest fire of 1924. On the opposite side of the river, look closely because there are cables which are all that remain from the old suspension bridge.
Continue on another few minutes and you will arrive at the main area of Hite's Cove. Again you will see foundations, old mining machinery and the rocky remains of their mining roads. Hike up river a short distance and you will be surprised by an old abandon hard rock gold mine from the gold mining era more than 140 years ago.
During the spring this trail will offer you a verity of choices from colorful wildflowers, early mining history, small waterfalls and views of our Sierra Nevada Mountains. This spring wild flower experience only lasts a few weeks. Check with the National Forest Service for an update on this event. Don't hesitate ... adjust your busy schedule to enjoy this spring event ... you won't be disappointed. See you on the trail.

Quirk Gallery's three exhibit spaces are devoted during the month of August to three Richmond natives.
In Quirk's main gallery is Chris Milk's "Canopy," a collection of works of house paint on wood.
In a press release, the gallery said that "Canopy" is the artist's ode to love, music and life in storyboards.
"From the houses to the skies, to the birds in between, "Canopy" explores the oft forgotten beauty of everyday life. Chris Milk brings this smart, yet uncomplicated, world to Quirk Gallery," the press release stated.
In the gallery's Shop Show this month, Tim Skirven's new illustrations in a variety of media "feature his unique and distinctive graphics, text and design."
Daniel Crawford's love of nature and the great outdoors is on exhibit in The Vault.
Antlers in brightly-colored resin and patches of embroidery are the latest works from Crawford, one of three Richmond artists at Quirk Gallery in August.
Chris Semtner, curator of the Edgar Allen Poe Museum and author of books about Poe, will be the featured artist in September at Visual Art Studio.
A reception will be held for Semtner on First Friday September 5, from 7 to 10 p.m.
"Into the Void" is a collection of 12 new medium and small acrylic paintings.
According to a press release by the gallery, Semtner will be available at both the First Friday in September and October.
"After reading a good poem, the world the reader sees seems changed, becoming somehow more profound and magical," the artist said in a statement to the gallery. "In the same way, a good painting can change the way the viewer sees the otherwise overlooked elements of the world around him-imbuing the real world with a new sense of mystery and wonder."
Semtner said in the statement that that is how he wants viewers to feel after seeing his paintings in "Into the Void," which closes Friday, October 31.
Quirk Gallery is located at 311 West Broad Street and can be reached at 804/644-5450. Gallery hours are Mondays-Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Visual Art Studio is located at 208 West Broad Street and can be reached at 804/644-1368. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Friday, noon to 6 p.m. and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m.

[table "38" not found /]
Accuracy: Newton's accuracy has taken criticism that he does not deserve. During the 2010 season he showed promising accuracy, but his inconsistency is what hurts his stock. Newton has the ability to hit any target, he just does not do it routinely right now. This points to a mechanics flaw, since he will sometimes miss on a pass that he made before under the same conditions. This is encouraging, as mechanics can be taught and refined.
Newton's strengths right now are hitting backs out of the backfield on screens and his deep ball accuracy, which is actually among the best in the class. Has shown good touch on both long and short passes. Puts the ball in a catchable position on underneath routes and lets his receiver run in to the ball.
Arm strength: Phenomenal arm strength. Has no trouble putting the ball over 50 yards in the air. Can make every throw you could ask of him. Unlike his accuracy, Newton shows great touch and understanding when throwing the long ball. Arm strength is top notch. Newton has thrown at least 70 yards in the air that we have seen- and that is during a game.
Athleticism/mobility: Has unquestioned athleticism. Was allowed to tuck and run at any time at Auburn. Can get outside the pocket and hurt a defense. Is not only fast, but has rare size for the quarterback position. Imagine Ben Roethlisberger with Vince Young's speed. Does a nice job moving around in the pocket, freeing himself to throw.
Decision making: Has been asked to make at most two reads pre-snap at Auburn. Will need time to learn to read multiple fronts and coverages. He has the ability, but will need time and reps in practice to learn this. Some have questioned his Football IQ and ability to pick up reads, but Newton has never been taught these things. He's a blank canvas in terms of IQ.
Field vision: Has enjoyed playing in a shotgun system that lets him stand back and read the field. Newton has little to no experience reading a defense, as he was fed his keys from the sideline. Must show better vision pre-snap. Keeps his eyes up and down field. It is hard to judge his field vision at this time, as he has only played in wide-open systems that have not asked him to make difficult reads or decisions. This will be determined in the NFL.
Mechanics: Does a nice job stepping up and through his throws. Needs to do a better job setting his feet when throwing short-to-intermediate throws. Has played in a shotgun-only system at Auburn, and also during his time as a back up at Florida. Has virtually no experience coming from under center. Will need his drop steps taught to him before any other work can begin.
Has a compact delivery and a good over-the-top motion. His delivery and release will not need work. He will fail to step in to passes at times, which results in an incomplete pass.
Pocket awareness/poise: His accuracy seems to drop off when forced to move in the pocket, which is somewhat surprising considering how athletic he is. Has good vision in-pocket while moving. Does not get scared or rattled by defenders flying around him. Great poise in the pocket.
Final word: A one-year starter for the National Champion Auburn Tigers, Newton comes by way of small Blinn College in Texas after leaving Florida instead of playing behind Tim Tebow for another year. At Blinn College Newton led the team to the 2009 NJCAA championship game before signing with Auburn. Newton quickly asserted himself, rising to the position of starter and winning the Heisman Trophy in 2010.
All of this comes with controversy. As is well documented, there are allegations that Newton's father Cecil offered a play-for-pay deal to Mississippi State, among other schools. Cameron was cleared of any wrongdoing by the NCAA, but the cloud continues to hang over his name.
It is undeniable that Newton is an electric athlete and leader at the position. Much like Michael Vick, Vince Young and Tim Tebow before him, there are questions not about his athleticism, but his ability to succeed long-term in the NFL as a pure passer. Newton's production cannot be argued, he was simply fantastic during the 2010 season, but can he fulfill his potential? That is the question NFL teams will be left pondering this April.
Newton is, by all accounts, a likely top ten pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. While he is not ready to start at the NFL level as a rookie, the promise of his potential is too great to pass over.

Club America of Mexico took an early lead against CD Comunicaciones at the Cementos Progreso Stadium in Guatemala City in their second game of the CONCACAF Champions League but could only walk away with a point from Central America. Both teams reach four points in group 8 with the Mexican side leading on goal differential.
It took five minutes for America to break the net. Ecuadorian Michael Arroyo took a shot that goalkeeper David Guerra attempted to clear. However, Oribe Peralta was attentive to the play and sent the rebound into the back of the net for the 1-0.
The local goal came at the 33rd minute when Carlos Figueroa took a shot from long distance that hit defender Erik Pimentel. The rebound landed in front of Roland Blackburn who executed goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez to close the gap 1-1.
America had several opportunities to get ahead throughout the game but had no luck. Guerra was the factor in keeping the Mexican squad from breaking his net once more. The game would end with the 1-1. The Guatemalan side still needs to play at the Azteca Stadium.
America will travel to Puerto Rico to take on Bayamon FC in their next champion's league game. Comunicaciones will also travel to Puerto Rico to face Bayamon FC.
Tuesday's games:
NY Red Bulls 2, CD FAS 0
Saprissa 3, Real Estelí 0

Bedrooms are significant part for all of us during our childhood and it reflects who we are and what we want to be. Where Children Sleep is a project by James Mollison with idea to engage young people to understand children's rights. The bedroom pictures would be inscribed with the children's material and cultural circumstances, the details that inevitably mark people apart from each other, while the children themselves would appear in the set of portraits as individuals, as equals just as children. After watching these photos you may ask yourself - what was your childhood like? Continue reading

You may have heard of long songs, but did you here for a song that will be played continuously for 1,000 years?! Longplayer is a track designed to last a thousand years. In particular,it began to play the January 1, 2000 and, if everything goes in smoothly, it will continue without repetition until December 31, 2999, when it is restarted. The song is based on an existing piece of music, particularly in a traditional Tibetan song that is being played with cymbals, which resembles very much a synthesis of bell sounds. This lasts 20 minutes and 20 seconds, time which is processed by computer using a simple algorithm. This has the effect of creating a large number of variants, which, when played in succession, give a total execution time 1000 years old! Check it out… Continue reading
The Internet is a place for exchange of different content, mostly inaccessible to arms of the law. When The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and The PROTECT IP Act (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act, or PIPA) laws were suggested, many sites for sharing files were closed or changed their policy. It seems that the freedom of the global network is slowly shutting down, but we all ask ourselves who are the greatest modern "pirates" on the internet who fight against this?

Freeman first released Cydia in February 2008 as an open-source alternative to Installer.app on iPhone OS 1.1, but Cydia quickly became the most popular package manager after iPhone OS 2.0′s release in July 2008. In August 2009, Freeman said "about 4 million, or 10 percent of the 40 million iPhone and iPod Touch owners to date, have installed Cydia.

Mark Howard Gorton is the creator of LimeWire, a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Java Platform, and chief executive of the Lime Group. Lime Group, based in New York, owns LimeWire as well as Lime Brokerage LLC (a stock brokerage), Tower Research Capital LLC (a hedge fund), and LimeMedical LLC (a medical software company).In November 2010, as a response to the legal challenges regarding LimeWire, an anonymous individual by the handle of Meta Pirate released a modified version of LimeWire Pro, which was entitled LimeWire Pirate Edition. It came without the Ask.com toolbar, advertising, spyware, and backdoors, as well as all dependencies on LimeWire LLC servers.
He is best known for being a co-founder and ex-spokesperson of The Pirate Bay, a BitTorrent search engine. On 17 April 2009, Sunde and his co-defendants were found to be guilty of "assisting in making copyright content available" in the Stockholm district court (tingsrätt). Each defendant was sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to pay damages of 30 million SEK (approximately â¬2,740,900 or US$3,620,000), to be apportioned between the four defendants.[8] After the verdict a press conference was held where Sunde held up a handwritten IOU statement claiming that is all the damages he will pay, adding "Even if I had any money I would rather burn everything I own and not even give them the ashes. They could have the job of picking them up. That's how much I hate the media industry."
NinjaVideo was a website created in February 2008 containing links to uploaded videos of TV shows, movies, and documentaries. Since June 30, 2010, the site has been unavailable, as a result of a multinational anti-piracy effort led by the US federal government. Originally optimistic that her actions were in a "gray area" of the law, the co-founder and public face of NinjaVideo, Hana Beshara, pled guilty to conspiracy and criminal copyright infringement on September 30, 2011. She was sentenced to 22 months in prison, another two years probation after that, 500 hours of community service and she has to pay back the $209,896.95 that she supposedly made from NinjaVideo to the MPAA.

In the process of scarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin. There are many reasons why people may turn to scarification. Aesthetically, scarifications are usually more visible on darker skinned people than tattoos. Also, unlike tattoos, scarifications are a product of one's own body.
There are also religious and social reasons for scarification. According to some tribal belief in Africa, producing scars on newborn children helps preventing vision related illness. There may also be religious expressions used in the scarification process. Continue reading

And one of the funniest things about animals is that they remind us on ourselves sometimes. After watching these photos, you'll totally get the point.
Meet Andrew Myers, one of the most patient modern-day sculptors around. This Laguna Beach, California-based artist goes through a multi-step process to create incredible works of art you almost have to see (or touch) to believe. He starts with a base, plywood panel, and then places pages of a phone book on top. He then draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn't rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. "For me, I consider this a traditional sculpture and all my screws are at different depths," he says. All we can say is congratulations Andrew and keep up with great work…

A cold front has moved through the Clarksville area and has dropped temperatures. Skies today will remain partly cloudy with daytime highs only hovering around the freezing mark. Temperatures will warm on Thursday into the forties before the next shot of cold air moves into the region. This system will bring isolated rain and snow showers once again to the region, but little to no snow accumulation is expected. Temperatures will fall back into the upper twenties to lower thirties for highs on Friday, but the cold only lasts for a day as highs will be in the forties for the weekend. The temperatures will remain in the forties to fifties for the weekend as high pressure builds in to the south of the Clarksville area.
Here is the Clarksville area forecast:

During the AMI (Auto Mobil International) BT Design presented the ETAPE concept, an interesting show car based on the Skoda Yeti that is meant to be a sort of little American pick-up designed for leisure. However, in the comparison with this specific kind of vehicle, the ETAPE is much smaller in size and boasts a more graceful style. The ETAPE concept also features an aerodynamic kit and shiny black finishing as well as a sporty rear diffuser and an exhaust system with a pair of oval-shaped mufflers.
The model has been designed to accommodate two pushbikes at the back, while on the inside the changes are minimal in the comaprison to the car it is based upon: to embellish the interior we have some nice sports seats courtesy of Sparco sports seats and a plain white dashboard with red trim. Unfortunately the vehicle was designed exclusively for advertising purposes, meaning we won't see this car on regular roads as it is not going to be mass produced. At least for now.

A graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania will represent Delaware at the Miss America Pageant. Amanda Longacre was crowned Miss Delaware 2014 on Saturday following pageant competition at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Dover. She entered the pageant as Miss Pine Creek.
Longacre had won the prelimary competitions in the talent and swimsuit categories. For her talent, she sang "I Dreamed a Dream."
She was graduated from the University of Delaware, where she studied history and women's studies. This was her first attempt to become Miss Delaware.
If Longacre is crowned Miss America, she will become the first Delaware contestant to wear the national crown. The last Delaware woman to finish in the top 10 at the Miss America Pageant was Miss Delaware 2010 Kayla Martell.
Others finishing in the top five at Saturday's pageant were 1st Runner-up Brittany Lewis, 2nd Runner-up Brooke Mitchell, 3rd Runner-up Amanda Debus, and 4th Runner-up Donnata Leckie.
Final night of pageantry in the Miss America competition is scheduled for Sept. 14. The ABC television network will broadcast it live from Atlantic City.
Women named Miss Delaware receive scholarships and cash prizes.
In addition to raising money for a variety of charities, Miss America serves as goodwill ambassador for the Children's Miracle Network of Hospitals. The group raises millions of dollars for children's hospitals located throughout the United States.
In July, the Miss America Organization sponsors the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant in Orlando, Florida. Contestants are ages 13-17 years and are judged in the evening gown, sportswear and interview categories.
On Saturday, Grace Otley won the Miss Delaware's Outstanding Teen title. She will represent her state in Orlando.
Like its big-sister competition, the teen pageant awards scholarships to girls from throughout the United States who compete locally, statewide and nationally.

Dvd Release Date: 1999-04-19
Genre: Drama, Suspense/Thriller
Rating: R
Duration: 2hrs 00min
In the summer of 1839, on a stormy night off the coast of Cuba, 53 Africans held captive in the cramped cargo holds of the Spanish slave ship La Amistad break free of their shackles. Led by Cinque, they arm themselves, take control of the ship and reclaim their freedom. They have one goal: to return to Africa. Without the navigational skills to guide them home, the Africans are forced to rely on the two surviving members of the crew. But they are tricked. After two months on a ragged course up the Eastern seaboard, the Amistad is captured by an American naval ship off the coast of Connecticut and the Africans were charged for murder and piracy. In the beginning, the Africans are championed by abolitionists Theodore Joadson and Lewis Tappan, and a young real estate attorney named Roger Baldwin. However, as the case becomes the symbol of a nation divided, two great Americans lock horns in the debate. Pro-slavery President Martin Van Buren, seeking re-election, is willing to sacrifice the Africans to appease the South, as well as Queen Isabella of Spain. But his will is challenged by former President John Quincy Adams, who comes out of retirement to fight the Africans' cause in the United State Supreme Court.

! Naked sunmoderated - created 10/13/03
I've had too many issues with advertisers spamming the board,
and sexualization of nudism with adult scenarios and fantasies has plenty of other tribes.
Frankly, I look at a person's posts, tribes, and images before I allow any new member into Naked Sun. While I am a nudist, I'm not staring at your crotch when I meet you on the beach, and making me do so here doesn't help... Just sayin'... It's fine you wanna show it, but you are more than your member if you're gonna be a member of Naked Sun.
I do check profiles before new members are ok'd,
it keeps the spam down ...
and allows for check backs on new profiles
so they can get the hang of Tribe and find a few friends before landing here.
If you've been declined, re-read the above and consider why before requesting again.
"This tribe is a community of like minded people. As such, we set our own Community Standards for our content. We welcome you to join us if you are like minded, and ask you to politely leave us alone if you are not."
Thank you Shatter.

Personnel evaluation took center stage in the University of Oregon's first prolonged scrimmage of the fall as first-year Head Coach Chip Kelly came away from the 1-hour, 45-minute workout generally pleased in the direction his football team is headed.
"This was an evaluation day, it wasn't a situation to see who could out-scheme the other today," Kelly said in reference to not being as concerned about how the Ducks' offense fared against the defense. "We played things pretty basic, we were more concerned about who could block, who could tackle and who can make plays."
Yet hard to ignore was the production from the quarterback position. While it has been junior Jeremiah Masoli who has generated much of the pre-season acclaim surrounding Oregon's offensive expectations for the coming season, it was Nate Costa who raised eyebrows by completing 12 of 15 passes for 159 yards and three touchdowns. Costa, who last played in 2006 prior to missing the past two seasons with knee injuries, also carried the ball seven times for 45 yards and a fourth score, although the officials were quick to blow the whistle anytime any of the quarterbacks were close to being tackled.
Included among Costa's scoring strikes was a 49-yard completion to running back LaMichael James and a 20-yard TD to Jeff Maehl, who converted both of his receptions into touchdowns totaling 29 yards.
Masoli connected on five of 13 passes for 44 yards and two TDs, while accumulating an additional 4 yards on the ground.
"Who has been his No. 1 fan," Kelly asked reporters rhetorically of his oft-forgotten quarterback, who entered last fall atop the team's depth chart before suffering his season-ending knee injury late in fall camp. "I've told everyone from day one that I don't count Nate Costa out if his knee is healthy.
"I feel 100 percent with our quarterback situation now than where we were this time last year."
In addition to Masoli and Costa, sophomore Darron Thomas rushed for 21 yards on five carries despite watching both of his pass attempts fall incomplete. Freshman Daryle Hawkins completed his lone pass for 4 yards in addition to including a 24 scoring run among his 35 rushing yards.
Oregon's offense generated its greatest success on the ground, with senior LeGarrette Blount ripping off a 34-yard gain on the first play from scrimmage. He ended his afternoon carrying the football seven times for 52 yards.
But it was more of a day to get a look at a pair of redshirt freshmen who would appear to be in line for prominent roles for the coming season, as well as returnees Andre Crenshaw and Remene Alston. Crenshaw carried the ball eight times for 27 yards and James added 21 yards on the ground, including a 4-yard scoring run, to go along with his two catches for 54 yards.
"Kenjon Barner is a football player," Kelly said of his second-year player who began fall camp listed as a defensive back but has yet to practice on that side of the ball this fall. "He can help us as a kickoff and punt returner as well at running back and receiver.
"LaMichael is a multi-talented kid with special talents," Kelly added. "He had done nothing this fall that has surprised me. We were fortunate last year with Jeremiah Johnson and LeGarrette healthy that we could afford to redshirt him, but he could have helped us last year. He is going to be a dynamic player in this league before he is finished."
Senior Rory Cavaille and junior transfer Lavasier Tuinei took advantage of a thinned corps of wide receivers due to bumps and bruises, with each grabbing four catches for 55 and 38 yards, respectively, while each caught one TD pass.
Defensively, Kelly applauded newcomers Terrance Montgomery, Bryson Littlejohn and Zac Clark, as well as returnees Josh Kaddu, Talmadge Jackson, and Scott Grady as players he feels are ready to make a presence.
"Terrance Montgomery just finds a way to get off blocks," Kelly emphasized. "We know what players like Walter Thurmond, Casey Matthews and Will Tukuafu can do, it was more about taking a look at other players."
Kelly also was encouraged about his team's punters in addition to believing that his first group of offensive linemen are starting to jell. Incoming freshman Jackson Rice averaged 44.8 yards on five punts and Tim Taylor booted the ball seven times for a 38.0-yard average.
"Rice has a very strong leg and can be a real weapon for us," Kelly said, while also acknowledged the improvement of Taylor during the off-season. "We are 100 percent improved in that phase of the game from the spring."
Paramount among Kelly's focus prior to the Ducks' Sept. 3 season opener at Boise State is likely to be the needed improvement of the field goal and PAT aspects of their game. No fewer than three placements were blocked while a trio of candidates misfired on several other points-after-touchdown kicks.
"Sometimes it's tough to evaluate the kickers when the process breaks down before you ever get to that point. The whole operation of our field goal unit needs to be cleaned up," Kelly said in reference to his snappers, holders and the protection offered by the front line.
Oregon will resume practices Monday, with two-a-day workouts scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and single practices on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Greenie & the Man Truck
Today's post comes from Matt O'Conner of Boulder, Colorado. Matt's currently running Franklin Handholds and sells climbing walls for the Eldorado Wall Company. He also keeps his own blog. His letter isn't the first of its kind – we've received many similar stories from customers over the years – but it's the first we've received since launching The Cleanest Line and we're happy to share it. If you've had a unique relationship with one of our products, send us your story and a picture or two. Contact details are in the About section.
20 Years of Building Brand Loyalty - Greenie & the Man Truck
A lot of things have happened to me over the last 20 years. I attended UNH and climbed extensively in the North East. I moved to Colorado 15 years ago for better snow, many more sunny days, and the expansive quantity of rock. I met my wife and bought a house. I started fly fishing. Quite a bit if stuff, really. And if I look at everything I own now compared to everything I owned then, only a couple things are still around. One of them is Greenie - the lined Synchilla jacket in this photo.
My sister gave it to me for my high school graduation. I think it has done every possible task I could ask of a piece of outerwear - developed new boulder problems, established routes on Independence Pass, skied perfect spring corn and powder days, gone on trail runs and long dog-walks, and landed fish. It still works today as well as it did then (note the stylish zipper pulls). It may have not been the absolute best piece for any of these, but it did all of them really, really well.
It just so happens that this pullover is now over 20 years old, just like the truck it's draped over. The Man-Truck (as it is affectionately known) is now also over 20 years old, and like that jacket, it may not be the best rig at anything, but it has been just about perfect at a whole lot of things, mostly durability. It's that quality, attention to design, and materials that have made me loyal to Patagonia for 25 years now. You can bet that when the time comes to retire Greenie (b/c the arm melted by the campfire when I passed out in an all-to-closely positioned camp chair alongside the Gray Reef with a PBR can in hand), I will only look to one place. Thanks for such a great piece, and all the memories.
Happy holidays everybody; enjoy the weekend. Please be sure and tell your friends and family about Doug Peacock's plea for Yellowstone Grizzlies and make a donation if you can.

Fair Price Funerals owner Mark Roebuck, 45, was so shocked at the prices quoted for his mum Christine's funeral he decided to start his own low cost funeral service. Click more to see the article below in the Manchester Evening News.
The basic cost of a funeral in the UK has increased for the 10th year running, according to an annual survey which reveals that the key expenses associated with dying have soared by 80% since 2004.
A steep rise in local authority burial and cremation fees has pushed the average cost of a basic funeral up to £3,956, according to insurer Sun Life Direct. See a recent article in the Guardian More

Clemson's Hopkins keeps piling up impressive stats
Published: Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 1:42 a.m.
With Sammy Watkins obviously back at full throttle two weeks ago with a record-setting performance at Wake Forest, it appeared as if the sheriff was back in town and DeAndre Hopkins might go back to playing sidekick.
Maryland (4-5, 2-3 ACC) at No. 10 Clemson (8-1, 5-1)
3:30 p.m., ESPNU, 93.3 FM
Instead the outstanding Clemson receiving duo is engaging in a game of 'can you top this' and Saturday's performance in a 56-20 romp at Duke propelled the Tigers to their second-largest yardage output ever with 718 of which 379 came through the air.
Hopkins established a new school single-game receiving yardage record with 197 against Boston College which stood for only two games before Watkins recorded 202 in Winston-Salem, N.C. Hopkins retort was tying his own record with three touchdown catches in one quarter Saturday to finish with four catches for 128 yards to Watkins' six for 97 and a touchdown.
Both posted all their stats in the first half and barely played after in the blowout. Hopkins now has 13 touchdown catches this season, surpassing Watkins' 12 from last year, and became Clemson's all-time leader with 22.
"I really don't think too much of that," Hopkins said of continuing to pile up records. "Mine are always team goals and self goals come last. Personal goals will come if you put in the work.
"Me and (quarterback) Tajh Boyd have great chemistry. We've been together since my freshman year and we kind of know where each other is going to be and when the ball is going to be there. It's just timing that comes with practice. Practice makes perfect and it's true. We made it look easy because of how much we've practiced over time."
Saturday Duke gambled with trying to get more pressure on Boyd while leaving its secondary in the difficult role of having to match up one-on-one against Clemson's elite skill players.
"I'm of surprised they did that, but I'm enjoying it," Hopkins said.
While Boyd has emerged as the face of the franchise with his open and honest demeanor and easygoing style with the media, Hopkins has been content to stay in the shadows and for a time even declined to speak with the press.
But his growing mountain of numbers has made it impossible to avoid the spotlight as Hopkins leads the ACC and ranks second nationally with 13 touchdown grabs and his 62 catches for 1,037 yards ranks second in both among the ACC and tied for 12th and sixth respectively.
Just like he's more than happy to put his personal stats on the backburner, he credits the rest of his teammates as being eager to do the same for the good of the team.
"Not to let the accolades and achievements get to us," Hopkins said of the renewed focus on not having an encore of last year's late decline. "We were a young team and guys kind of got complacent, honestly, and let external factors get to us. Now we're more mature about handling things. That says a lot about the maturity of this team and seniors taking the leadership role."
One external factor that should aid the team as it finishes up the regular season with three games at Death Valley is the chance to establish a new high mark for consecutive home wins which it's already tied with 11.
"We're undefeated with a long streak at home right now," Hopkins said. "We're not really worried about that, but it's something in the back of my mind we want to achieve. If we do all the right things, who knows what's going to happen this season."
INJURY UPDATE: Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was most concerned about backup quarterback Cole Stoudt when addressing injuries during his Sunday evening teleconference.
"He had a hit to his sternum and is pretty sore," Swinney said. "Just by the nature of his position with throwing we'll have to see how he is in the next day or so."
He added that tailback Andre Ellington ("tweaked" hamstring) and tight end Brandon Ford (abdomen) "are going to be fine."

A couple of times a month, I meet with a group of teens and adults who struggle with various forms of autism and some of the issues that the spectrum of autism includes. We spend about an hour doing yoga and meditation, and both before and after our sessions, we spend time together getting to know one another. This group was put together by one of the health care workers and some of the group members. Through their hard work and effort, they have formed a group that meets regularly to enjoy activities together, and to spend some time learning some alternative ways to dealing with some of their challenges.
One of the things I have noticed over the course of the last year since we have been meeting, is how much each of the group members depends on support and assistance in order to take care of some of the most basic tasks of taking care of their own health. Some of those who are part of this group, live with relatives, while others live in supportive group situations. Each has some access to basic health care and supportive services to deal with emotional, mental, physical, and financial challenges. Each week when we talk, the men and women talk to us about the issues that bother them. This week I was concerned about a couple of the people who seemed to be struggling emotionally. When I inquired and found the situations each was dealing with, I became more concerned about why it was so difficult to get help. I visited the NAMI National Alliance for Mental Illness and found that much has changed as a result of the government's cutbacks and slashes in funding for those who may be most vulnerable and in need of help.
What I have noticed is how much of an impact lack of access to services and the cutting of funding for those most at risk, in need, or the most vulnerable of us has had on this small group of people. What I have observed is behavior that arises out of fear and insecurity about health and housing issues, loss of caregiving, and ineffective or difficult-to-access assistance. This is particularly true regarding access to mental and emotional help during times of crisis, and long delays in time when diagnosing and treating physical problems (issues related to falls, accidents, or chronic physical conditions). Think of what it is like when you feel lousy or when you fall and hurt yourself. For some of us, we find ourselves isolated and without much support, but with at least some access to help and with some resources or the ability to find resources. For others, we have people around us who are there for us when we need help. Imagine what it is like for someone who doesn't have the resources you have, and who is more dependent upon the support of the community and those who are willing and compassionate enough to reach out to help.
A number of people in this community are full-time caregivers to just such people like I describe. Many of the caregivers are aging, others are responsible for other children and family members, and are under a great deal of pressure and stress already. When resources are eliminated, the stress on a person with disabilities grows, the stress on the families and caregivers grows, and the stress on the whole community increases as well. What is the purpose of writing about this today? We live during a time when we are all just a bit overwhelmed trying to take care of the daily business of living. Most of us work and manage our homes and families, those who don't work, worry about finding a job or looking for meaningful ways to spend their time and resources. What are we each doing to show compassion to those who struggle with greater burdens than we , do? What are we doing about letting our government and institutional leaders and managers know about our need to be heard about meeting basic needs for all people? What can we do to improve and restore services, support, and greater concern for those who need more help?
I do not have the answers, but in asking the questions, I seek to discover some ways that we can work together in our community to change the priorities a bit--to meet the real needs of people we share our lives with here in the Astoria areas. Many of the people I know here in Astoria, work tirelessly to help others. And they work without the necessary resources and support they need. When times get tough, it is not time to cut back on helping and supporting those who have the hardest time. It is time to remember that supporting the flow of compassion in our lives depends on us sharing what we have with others. Our Congress made the choice to act like a corporate robot by cutting off its base and rewarding itself. Cutting off the roots of a plant, kills the connection, and we cannot afford to do this to those who are part of the roots of our community. For all those who do so much for so little reward, thank you. To all those who try everyday to meet the heavy loads they carry, thank you. And for those parents and relatives who are steadfast in your care, support, and love to your family members who need you, thank you.
Some of the ongoing projects that help our community include: Women's Resource Center , The Clothes Bank at First Baptist Church in Warrenton, Clatsop Community Action food pantries,, Deja Vu Thrift Shop and Boutique at 1389 Duane Street, Astoria, Oregon 97103 503-325-8624 , Online resources include: National Center for Learning Disabilities, , NAMI National Alliance for Mental Illness, Oregon , and Northwest Senior and Disability Services, and Astoria Senior Services.

Olympus SP-500 UZ review
I took my new Olympus on vacation, and was very happy with it's performance. I took almost 200 pictures, and had to replace the batteries only once.
The only features that this camera is missing is Image Stabilization and an automatic lens cap. It's a bit of a pain to have to take off and put on this little plastic cap, that sometimes comes off it's string too.
The 10X zoom works well, but without IS, you really need to use a tripod or leverage yourself on a stationary object. The camera resets fast for multiple shots, and the menu is fairly easy to navigate.
Overall, I think the camera is a good value for the money, and I would recommend it.
6 megapixels • 2.5″ screen • 38 – 380 mm (10×)

Reviews for Pistachio Buttons
"Nice looking cookie and easy to make. I ruined mine by adding too much pistachio flavoring to the center part. I should have stuck to the recipe as written."
"This cookie was very easy to make and very good. I made it just as the recipe is written. Thank you cherylrein for the suggestion.....I did roll the outer edges as you suggested in additional crushed pistachios. I went a step further and placed 1 pistachio in the center of each cookie before baking. I think next time I may add a few drops of pistachio flavoring to the green center dough, just because I LOVE pistachios and would like that flavor to come through a little more. But overall a very good cookie and something different and festive to add to my cookie trays this year."
"I found these hard to cut into 1/4 inch slices. I made them thicker and baked a bit longer. Wished they had a bit more chocolate flavour."
"These were delicious! I was a little worried about the amount of almond extract, but it was perfect. I actually used more butter than called for on accident, so the dough was quite moist. My husband really liked these, too! They are very cute."
"I made it today. It was easy and good. I did roll the finished rolls in additional crushed pistachios and it added more of the good pistachio flavor. I think it would be good even without the chocolate dough. I plan to try it that way next time. Got done in 7 to 8 minutes in my oven."

By Dr. Cameron Chai
This supply deal is a testament to the value of the PComP portfolio of nanocomposite coating materials in the market for tungsten carbide thermal spray powder coatings in North America. The PComP nanocomposite thermal spray powders deliver superior hardness and toughness due to a novel patented coating microstructure that integrates a ductile metal's high hardness zones in an improved geometry.
In nitride based powders of the PComP family, the binders deliver enhanced deposition efficiency, resiliency, ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance, while the nanocomposite core deliver light weight, low friction and high wear resistance. These nitride powders have low density and their weight is 60% lower than that of carbide coatings. They demonstrate 3-7X lower corrosion and wear rates, offer 2X more spray cell productivity, and grind more easily than commercial carbide coatings.
The PComPs based on tungsten carbide use the same binder architecture and patented core structure to manufacture coatings with higher spallation resistance and more than 2X higher abrasion and wear resistance when compared to traditional tungsten carbide coatings. These coatings also have better resiliency, ductility, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The PComP portfolio of coating materials can be used as drop-in substitutes for thermal spray powders without altering thermal spray equipment. Abakan's Chief Executive Officer, Robert Miller stated that MesoCoat secured this supply deal following the successful completion of extensive field tests and qualification that verified the superior properties of the tungsten carbide-based PComP nanocomposite cermet materials.
MesoCoat's Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Sherman commented that the company uses an innovative method to produce the PComP materials that enables it to produce hard and robust coatings . Sherman believes that there is a huge market opportunity for these materials.
