A 68-year-old man was rescued, albeit reluctantly, after a
search and rescue operation was sparked when he failed to
return from a fishing trip.
Police and the Dunedin Coastguard were alerted by concerned
Karitane residents, following the discovery of his boat
trailer on Thursday night.
The search and rescue operation was launched just after
10.30pm, and he was located in his 5m vessel early yesterday
The man was described as inexperienced, and had decided to
drop anchor rather than return to Karitane and cross the bar.
Acting Senior Sergeant Nathan White said the man had failed
to notify anyone of his movements, and while he had a
cellphone and radio on board, he had not called anyone.
It was also a concern that no lights had been activated on
the vessel.
Lox Kellas, of Coastguard Dunedin, said the man was
''initially non-compliant'' about leaving his vessel.
''He saw reason in the finish, once he understood the gravity
of the situation, the resources that had been deployed, the
people who had concerns for his safety.''
Mr Kellas said the lesson was to tell people where you were
going, and if you were not going to be back on time to use a
cellphone or radio.
The vessel was expected to be recovered today.

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 struck near La Habra, California Friday (3-28) night, and was followed by dozens of aftershocks.
The bigger quake was originally reported as magnitude 5.4 and struck at 9:09 p.m. PT. The first temblor hit about an hour before that.
Caltech seismologists said the 5.1-earthquake was at a depth of around one mile and was followed by at least 100 aftershocks, including a magnitude-3.4 that hit Saturday morning.
The main shock was preceded by two foreshocks registering magnitudes 3.6 and 2.1, scientists said. The aftershocks had many residents on edge.
There were no immediate reports of significant damage or major injuries. But some viewers did send in photos of toppled furniture, as well as broken glass and mirrors.
Videos and pictures from many stores also showed a huge mess after items flew off shelves and isles were littered with debris.

Two attacks on women in Wellington earlier this year have
been identified as potentially linked to sexually motivated
assaults over Easter, police say.
Investigations are continuing into two attacks which happened
within 24 hours of each other in the Kelburn-Te Aro area over
Easter, sparking fears a repeat offender could be preying on
vulnerable young woman in the area.
While there have been no further incidents since then,
Wellington Police say two previous attacks have been
identified as potentially related.
On March 22, an 18-year-old woman was grabbed by an unknown
man on the Boyd-Wilson walkway near Te Aro School at about
10.15pm. She managed to struggle free and run to a friend's
A few weeks later on April 10, another 18-year-old woman was
approached and grabbed by a man as she walked past the
Kelburn Park carpark. She also fought him off and ran to
Detective Senior Sergeant John van den Heuvel said Wellington
Police had been working with the victims to investigate
similarities between the incidents.
The offender is described as Caucasian aged between 25 and
He is approximately 180cm tall, of a medium build with
light-coloured facial hair.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Philadelphia Eagles fans just couldn't
bring themselves to hate Terrell Owens.
Notorious for their boorish behavior, many fans booed the
disgruntled All-Pro receiver and some taunted Owens during
Wednesday morning's practice at Lehigh University.
But it took just a simple smile and a little interaction for
Owens to win them over again.
"This ain't San Francisco," one fan yelled as Owens knelt
along the sidelines, listening to the derisive jeers. "You ain't
bigger than this team. Shut up and play."
They took their best shots, and scolded Owens for hiring agent
Drew Rosenhaus.
Finally, Owens stood up, turned to the crowd, cracked a smile
and pumped his left arm up, urging them to make more noise.
The fans suddenly erupted in cheers and the same guy who was
riding Owens the loudest started chanting the "T.O." song. Owens
flashed a wider grin, nodded his head in approval and walked back
toward the field.
In his first public comments since arriving at camp, Owens told
a Philadelphia television station that his family's support was
pivotal in his decision to report.
"If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here," Owens told WPVI.
"And God put me in the situation to go out here and still play the
game, that's why I'm here.
"They said to stay strong throughout everything. They know it
is not fair and we're honest about it."
Asked if he would give full effort despite his unhappiness,
Owens said, "I'm here in camp and that's all I can say."
Wednesday was the first time this summer fans could see Owens
practice, and some of the Philly die-hards started lining up at 4
a.m. just to get a glimpse of him running patterns with the NFC
Owens was wildly popular in his first season in Philadelphia,
helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl for the first time in 24
years. But Owens lost many supporters when he and Rosenhaus began
loudly protesting for a new contract just one season into the
seven-year, $48.97 million deal he signed after coming to the
Eagles in March 2004.
When Owens emerged from the locker room for the morning
practice, fans booed. As he jogged onto the field and closer toward
the crowd, many of the boos turned to cheers.
The boos were loud when Owens dropped a pass early in the
drills. They were louder when Owens first went to the sidelines and
stood -- no coincidence -- away from quarterback Donovan McNabb.
But the fans couldn't resist giving Owens some love once he
showed them he was listening to their remarks.
"We're gonna give you hell, but we still love you, T.O.," a
fan screamed.
Owens refused to speak to reporters for the third straight day,
and hardly talked much with his teammates. He nearly started a riot
when he tossed a towel into the stands, though.
"He looked good," Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
Asked his thoughts on the crowd's reaction to Owens, Reid said:
"I didn't notice anything."
He wasn't the only one.
"When I'm on the field, my main focus is to make as many plays
as possible," said McNabb, who squabbled with Owens in the
The other receivers certainly heard the fans.
"It doesn't affect us and it doesn't affect T.O.," wideout
Greg Lewis said.
McNabb reiterated he doesn't have a problem with Owens, though
it seemed the two stars purposely stayed away from each other.
McNabb threw a crisp, long pass to Owens at one point, and even was
his lead blocker on an end-around early on.
"I don't think you particularly have to like the individual or
hang out with the individual," McNabb said. "I think you have to
have a good business relationship. It's funny how the assumptions
come out for us and our situation. Everyone said last year how we
were just the best of friends, and we were hanging out and doing
everything. We had a good business relationship then, and we have a
good business relationship now."
Owens started the friction when he took a shot at McNabb, saying
he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."
McNabb responded with harsh words, insisting he didn't get sick
and wasn't tired in the fourth quarter of the 24-21 loss to New
The two still haven't sat down for a face-to-face chat.
"I don't want a private moment. It's not needed," McNabb
: Reid had no update on Brian Westbrook's contract situation.
The Pro Bowl running back was a surprise holdout on Monday. "I
think that it is very important to come in and get your timing
down," Reid said. "You get your legs and your wind, get used to
the heat and so on."

Final Rules on Education Tax Credits
December 26, 2003
The final regulations on the Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credits, published by the Internal Revenue Service December 27, 2002, interpret section 25A of the Code, providing guidance to taxpayers who may claim the credits. Although the 25A rules do not address institutional reporting requirements, a number of provisions are important for colleges and universities. These provisions cover the definition of an eligible educational institution, qualified tuition and related expenses, and the timing of payments.
The final regulations hold, as did the rules first proposed in 1999, that qualified expenses include fees for books, supplies, and equipment used in a course of study only if the fees are required to be paid to the institution for the enrollment or attendance of the student.
The rules also clarify that personal expenses such as room and board, insurance, medical expenses, transportation, and similar personal living expenses are not qualified expenses for purposes of claiming the credits, regardless of whether the fee must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment. Institutions must determine the allocation of bundled fees that combine qualified expenses and personal expenses that are not qualified. The rules became effective on December 26, 2002.

Extreme Ministries has worked diligently at missions work for the last several years and is allowing God to continue to work in and through them! It is a great organization and offers amazing ways for people of all ages and abilities to get involved with Missions work!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my own life. God has used this organization to change how I viewed what it meant to expand God's Kingdom, be a missionary and mobilize others to "go". I have seen 1,000's of people in South America come to Christ and those who have been called leaving everything to go.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
improve it's ability to get people involved so that it could expand from 3 countries to 100's!

High-end Real Estate in Brooklyn Is Doing Well
With some caveats.
Crain's reports that prices for million-dollar-plus residential transactions were up 60 percent over the previous year in the second quarter. It's the highest level since 2008, in fact. A quarter of the expensive properties were new construction, and the majority were in Williamsburg, followed by Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Red Hook. Maybe the Billyburg bust is over? Despite numerous caveats — sales typically slow in the summer, most of these transactions took place closer to the beginning of the calendar year, and it's not necessarily indicative of a broader uptick for the borough's residential properties — the report is good news for condo developers and wealthy homeowners, in case you were up nights worrying about those poor souls.

Sophia Ray Interview
1. How did you first become involved in the music industry?
I became involved in the music industry after I decided to take vocal lessons. I always enjoyed singing in church or school but really wanted to start singing and writing my own songs.
2. Your new EP, Unexpected, is out now. What can people expect from this album?
I think people will really enjoy the songs. There are only three and they are all different but they represent different times in my life. The lyrics are honest and the songs have great melodies for people to sing along.
3. Your music is very diverse and very technical, yet there is a emotional atmosphere as well. Did you set out to create your style or did that sort of evolve as time went by?
I think it developed as I went through the process. Having a great vocal coach really helped technically but also as I became more confident in my abilities it allowed me to be more focused on connecting with the song.
4. Sometimes when listening to someone perform, influences stand out as result of musical preferences. What are some music groups that you listen to?
I love a variety of different artists. Some of my favorites are Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Katy Perry, Hey Monday, No Doubt. As you can tell I am inspired by female artists.
5. In light of your previous release, what can we expect in 2011 from Sophia Ray?
Now that I have completed my first album I will definitely continue to write music. Hopefully, people will enjoy the Unexpected EP and will be in for a treat for more of my music in 2011.

Can a charge of "Physical Control" that has 0 points be eventually expunged or sealed, if you have had no prior convictions and a clean driving record?
Also, if your OVI charge is brought down to Physical Control, do you have to pay the $475 reinstatement fee with the DMV and retake the drivers test that was associated with the OVI charge? It's hard to find the answers to these questions. Thank you for your help.
DUI / DWI Attorney
Traffic offenses can not be expunged. However, the BMV only shows them on the public records for a few years. The police will have them forever if you are stopped again. The reinstatement fee is a matter of controversy right now. You will have to fight to not have to pay it. A good lawyer can help you with that. As for retesting, unless you license has expired or you have accumulated 12 points within 2 years, you should not have to retest.
DUI / DWI Attorney
"Being in Physical Control of Vehicle Under the Influence" cannot be expunged/sealed. If driving privileges were suspended as part of the sentence under a "Being in Physical Control of Vehicle Under the Influence" charge or as part of an Administrative License Suspension due to a charge of "Being in Physical Control of Vehicle Under the Influence," the reinstatement fee is $475. Generally, in Ohio, there is no requirement to retake the drivers test due to a conviction "Being in Physical Control of Vehicle Under the Influence."

In an effort to encourage community involvement among public housing residents, a pair of area legislators have teamed up to secure funding for a pilot program designed to reward active citizens.
Representatives for Assemblymember Vito Lopez, Chair of the Assembly Housing Committee, and Assemblymember Joseph Lentol announced last week the delivery of $1.5 million in state aid for a one-year program that provides stipends for residents who volunteer in state-funded New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments.
Of the city's 343 NYCHA developments, 15 are funded by the state, with the rest funded by the federal government. Of the 100 NYCHA developments in Brooklyn, four are funded by the state: the Bushwick Houses (372 Bushwick Avenue); the Marlboro Houses in Bensonhurst (2740 86th Street); the Williams Plaza Houses (bordered by Roebling Street and Broadway, Division and Marcy avenues); and the Independence Towers in Williamsburg (114 Taylor Street), the site of the April 3 press conference.
Under the program, residents who volunteer a minimum of 10 hours per week are eligible to receive a $45 weekly stipend.
"This program will serve as reinforcement to the people who are already there out of the goodness of their hearts, and also stimulate more volunteerism," wrote Lopez in a press release.
(At the time of the press conference, both Lopez and Lentol were in Albany, consumed with both the state budget and congestion pricing debate.)
The bulk of those receiving a stipend will be volunteers for the Tenant Patrol program, which began in 1968 as a way of having residents supplement the work of the housing police.
Tenant Patrol volunteers usually position themselves in or around building lobbies, providing an identifiable law enforcement presence while serving as the "eyes and ears" of the community to alert police of potential criminal activity.
Volunteers report to a Tenant Patrol supervisor, a part-time NYCHA employee who must be a resident of the development. This supervisor then reports directly to the housing police.
Citywide, there are 3,946 volunteers in the 136 NYCHA developments with a Tenant Patrol, though only those volunteers in the 15 state-funded developments will be eligible for a stipend.
"Tenant patrol is a great program for NYCHA residents," said NYCHA Chairman Tino Hernandez at the press conference.
Residents who volunteer in the senior or community centers provided in every NYCHA development will also be eligible for a stipend.
"We really appreciate what Assemblyman Lopez and Lentol have done under the leadership of Speaker Silver to demonstrate their ongoing support for public housing, and for emphasizing the importance of volunteering in our senior and community centers," Hernandez said.
Funding for the one-year program was initially announced last year and began on January 1, 2008, but officials have been disappointed in the enrollment in the program. Thursday's press conference was designed to raise awareness about the available stipends.
Of the approximately 100 people at the press conference, around 25 of them signed up for the program on the spot.

SDCC: "Arrow" Cast & Crew Dish Out Details on Season 5

Image Comics has two Free Comic Book Day offerings this year — Top Cow's Aphrodite IX #1, the first issue of a new ongoing series, and The Walking Dead, which collects four short stories starring various current and former members of the cast. Three of those stories have appeared elsewhere — the ones featuring Michonne, The Governor and Morgan — but the one starring the alive-in-the-TV-show but dead-in-the-comics Tyrese is brand new. But hey, since I haven't read any of them, they're all new to me. Per the solicitations, "none of these stories will be reprinted in the trade paperbacks," so if you're a Walking Dead completest, this is one you'll want to bite into. –JK Parkin
by Jamal Igle, Jeremy Whitley and Emily C. Martin (Action Lab Entertainment)
Jamal Igle's successful Kickstarter comes to life with the first appearance of his pre-teen superhero Molly Danger. This has such color, life and charm, you can't help but smile. It's a fun superhero romp with all of the visual dazzles and heart you would want, and serves as the perfect primer and teaser for the official launch of Molly Danger and her world.
Jeremy Whitley's Princeless is an original story that expands the irreverent fantasy world with some new characters. Princess Adrienne helps save Princess Raven from her castle tower prison without the help of a rather repugnant prince. Emily C. Martin, the regular artist on the current Princeless Volume 2, handles this story and it looks just as wonderful.
This pairing makes for a perfect all-ages set that provides great examples of gender equality without heavy-handed preaching, sticking to great characters and great fun. — Corey Blake
The 2000AD FCBD issue was excellent and did what it was supposed to do. While I don't intend to start buying the magazine, it certainly encouraged me to buy some more trades (colour Nemesis the Warlock you will be mine; I can get a Judge Dredd helmet and personalised badge? Eiffel Tower!!!)
The Walking Dead FCBD was a bittersweet affair. Bittersweet in that Kirkman got my money for those Michonne/ Governor specials previously, but sweet when we got a new Tyrese story. Still a cry of "Kirkmannnnnnn!!!!" was heard several times in my LCS.
None of the independent titles were available at my store. Marvel and DC's lacklustre FCBD effort was embarrassing but my 9 year old enjoyed reading Hulk Agents of Smash at least.
My favourite part of FCBD is that my LCS has $1 back issues and 25% off statues/ toys. It's a day to save up for.

Right, I've decided now is the time for me to learn HTML!
Can anyone recommend any books, websites or other resources to get me started? Should I be studying HTML5 - I see it everywhere?
FYI - I'm in the UK if that makes a difference to your responses.
Thank you.

EDIT 2: Graysmith found a baseball torso with catcher's mitt that makes for a 17th unique fig... basically killing any chances that these are all from a single minifigures series, although one might be the fig from the Character Encyclopedia.
EDIT 3: Some more modifications based on observations by Eurobricks members and Brickset members. Also, added names from TheDailyBrick.co.uk.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles

You might have come across the acronym NBIC, which stands for Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology and new technologies based on Cognitive science. Initially introduced in the U.S. National Science Foundation's 'Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance' report this acronym is often used to describe the basic idea that scientific and technological innovation can be stimulated through the convergence of two, three, or all four fields. At its most radical (and most controversial), proponents of convergence suggest that nanotechnologies will promote the unification of most branches of science and technology, based on the unity of nature at the nanoscale, including cognitive sciences. We'll keep you posted on this over the next few decades and see how it all works out. For the time being, though, it would be nice to be able to report on something more hands-on and - dare I write it - even practical. As it happens, scientists at the University of Toronto have done exactly that. They have demonstrated, for what appears to be the first time, the convergence of nanotechnology, microtechnology, microfluidics, photonics, signal processing, and proteomics to build a medical device that could lead to the development of fast, portable point-of-care diagnostics for infectious disease (IDs) such as HIV, SARS and many others.Posted: Aug 31st, 2007
In the medical field there is a huge demand for tissue regeneration technologies, which covers a wide range of potential applications in such areas as cartilage, vascular, bladder and neural regeneration. Just consider the need for bone and dental implants: Each year, almost 500,000 patients receive hip implants worldwide, about the same number need bone reconstruction due to injuries or congenital defects and 16 million Americans loose teeth and may require dental implants. The market for medical implant devices in the U.S. alone is estimated to be $23 billion per year and it is expected to grow by about 10% annually for the next few years. Unfortunately, medical implant devices have been associated with a variety of adverse reactions, including inflammation and fibrosis. It has been suggested that poor tissue integration is responsible for loosening of implants and mechanical damage to the surrounding host tissues. Based on an expanding body of biomedical nanotechnology research work, there is a growing consensus among scientists that nanostructured implant materials may have many potential advantages over existing, conventional ones. The key, as indicated in a number of findings, seems to be that physical properties of materials, especially with regard to their surface's nanostructure, affect cell attachment and eventually the tissue response to the implant. Although nanotopography mediated cell responses have been shown in previous work, the mechanism of these responses is mostly undetermined. New research has now been conducted to determine the influence of nanopore size on cellular responses. Interestingly, these studies have revealed that larger nanopores (200 nm) trigger DNA replication and cell proliferation via various signal transduction pathways.Posted: Aug 28th, 2007
Vaccination has resulted in the eradication of smallpox and control of measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, and other infectious diseases in many areas of the world (at least where vaccines are available and affordable; providing vaccines to many parts of the developing world still is one of the basic medical needs that is far from being met). The basic idea of vaccination (the word comes from the Latin vacca - cow - because the first vaccine was derived from a virus affecting cows) is to inject weakened or killed forms of pathogens such as bacteria or viruses into the body in order for the immune system to develop antibodies against them; if the same types of microorganisms enter the body again, they will be destroyed by the antibodies. About 25 years ago, the basic idea of vaccination gave rise to bactofection - the technique of using bacteria as non-viral gene carriers into target cells. The DNA cargo is transported inside the bacteria and, once it arrives at the target location, the bacteria is broken up in order to release the therapeutic gene or protein. A novel technique takes advantage of the invasive properties of bacteria for delivery of nanoparticles into cells. Here, the gene or cargo is not carried inside the bacteria, but rather remains on the surface conjugated to nanoparticles. Consequently, this approach does not require bacterial disruption for delivery, or any genetic engineering of the bacteria for different cargo.Posted: Aug 14th, 2007
The question if certain engineered nanoparticles are toxic, and if yes to what degree, is still one of the major issues that hasn't been properly answered yet. Most studies in the literature thus far have focused on the environmental aspects of nanoparticle toxicity, and these studies have been conducted primarily on industrial or natural/incidental nanoparticles. However, engineered nanoparticles are at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of nanomedicine; and here they are deliberately injected into the body to perform a specific medical application: fluorescent agents for imaging; drug delivery vehicles; or therapeutic agents for the destruction of cancer cells (for instance in thermolysis); just to name a few. A brand new review article provides the first comprehensive summary of the properties of engineered nanoparticles which determine their interaction with components of the immune system. It concludes that nanoparticle-based therapeutics are no more intrinsically immunotoxic than traditional pharmaceuticals, such as biotechnology-derived or small molecules. Moreover, incorporation of traditional drugs into nanotechnology formulations frequently results in a decrease in immunotoxicity compared to the native drug. Although many questions still require thorough investigation, the available data suggest that nanoparticles can be engineered to become the next generation of biocompatible drug delivery platforms.Posted: Aug 2nd, 2007
Recent developments in spectroscopic techniques allow highly sensitive image detection both in vitro and in vivo on the individual cell level. These methods depend on nanometer-size particles as detection probes. One class of such particles, so-called nanocrystals or quantum dots (qdots), is very popular for constructing detection probes for biolabeling. Scientists have discovered that these nanocrystals can enable researchers to study cell processes at the level of a single molecule and may significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancers. Qdots are either used as active sensor elements in high-resolution cellular imaging, where the fluorescence properties of the qdots are changed upon reaction with the analyte, or in passive label probes where selective receptor molecules such as antibodies have been conjugated to the surface of the dots. Qdots could revolutionize medicine. Unfortunately, most of them are toxic. Ironically, the existence of heavy metals in qdots such as cadmium, a well-established human toxicant and carcinogen, poses potential dangers especially for future medical application, where qdots are deliberately injected into the body. As the use of nanomaterials for biomedical applications is increasing, environmental pollution and toxicity have to be addressed, and the development of a non-toxic and biocompatible nanomaterial is becoming an important issue. Researchers are now proposing the use of nanoscale diamond particles as a non-toxic alternative to heavy metal qdots.Posted: Jul 30th, 2007
Inhalation, or respiratory, therapy is a fairly old discipline of medicine that dates back to ancient times (and not always for purely therapeutic effects; witness the hookah). In the late 18th century, earthenware inhalers became popular for the inhalation of air drawn through infusions of plants and other ingredients and about 50 years ago the first pressurized metered dose inhaler was put on the market. Especially people suffering from asthma are very familiar with inhalers - devices that help deliver a specific amount of medication to the lungs. The delivery of drugs via the pulmonary route is a potentially effective form of therapy not only for asthma but also for for patients with other chronic diseases, including the debilitating hereditary disease, cystic fibrosis, type I diabetes (insulin is absorbed well through the lungs), and recently lung cancer. During inhalation therapy the drugs are delivered in aerosol form, meaning that very small particles of the drug are suspended in air (liquid particles make mist, solid particles make fume or dust). Unfortunately, state the-of-the-art aerosol delivery technologies do not allow to target aerosols to specific regions of the lung. Researchers in Germany now have show that aerosols containing magnetic nanoparticles can be guided inside the lungs and thus offer a potential new route for lung cancer treatment.Posted: Jul 27th, 2007
Just a few days ago we ran a Spotlight on nanobionics that addressed some of the issues of bridging the interface between electronics and biology. Today we'll take a look at some leading edge research in the field of neural engineering - an emerging discipline that uses engineering techniques to investigate the function and manipulate the behavior of the central or peripheral nervous systems. Neural engineering is highly interdisciplinary and relies on expertise from computational neuroscience, experimental neuroscience, clinical neurology, electrical engineering and signal processing of living neural tissue, and encompasses elements from robotics, computer engineering, neural tissue engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology. In order for neural prostheses to augment or restore damaged or lost functions of the nervous system they need to be able to perform two main functions: stimulate the nervous system and record its activity. To do that, neural engineers have to gain a full understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and subtleties of cell-to-cell signaling via synaptic transmission, and then develop the technologies to replicate these mechanisms with artificial devices and interface them to the neural system at the cellular level. The first steps toward precise, informative and biocompatible neural interfaces have been made already.Posted: Jul 24th, 2007
In case you are not old enough to remember the TV series The Six Million Dollar Man during the 1970s, the show was about an astronaut, Steve Austin, who got severely injured during a crash and became a guinea pig for bionics experiments by the CIA. In an operation that cost six million dollars, his right arm, both legs and the left eye are replaced by bionic (cybernetic) implants that vastly enhanced his strength, speed and vision. Never mind Hollywood, though, but bionics - a word formed from biology and electronics - has become a serious research field. In particular the development of artificial muscles is progressing rapidly. Nature's solution to producing fast contracting muscles is to use nanotechnology. The challenge for scientists is to mimic the intricacy of natural muscle in their artificial-muscle systems. As material scientists and engineers delve into the nanodomain, the boundaries between electronics and biology become fuzzy and this is exactly what they want: a seamless transition between the hard world of electronics and the soft world of biology.Posted: Jul 17th, 2007

I would like to see an API and explanation about how this could be used by any other widget-extension.
Please do also add support for multiple fields in one widget.
I don't know how the RTE really works - but I would like to have something like this:
- Developer using this API just has to create a textarea with a specified css-class
- RTE just hides this textarea and shows itself instead
- All changes made in the RTE are immediately saved in the textarea (or on a specific function-call ... that's probably better for big texts)
Using this you would not have to create your own save-function in the backend but just use the one provided by wordpress.
I think this would also simplify the plugin - at least on the PHP-side ;)
Please drop me a mail if you need help here.

Special Order
A predecessor of both the nativist humor of Mark Twain and the exotic adventure stories of Washington Irving, Herman Melville, and Richard Dana, Royall Tyler's "The Algerine Captive" is an entertaining romp through eighteenth-century society, a satiric look at a variety of American types, from the backwoods schoolmaster to the southern gentleman, and a serious expose of the horrors of the slave trade. In stylistic purity and the clarity with which Tyler investigates and dramatizes American manners, the critic Jack B. Moore has noted, "The Algerine Captive" stands alone in our earliest fiction. It is also one of the first attempts by an American novelist to depict the Islamic world, and lays bare a culture clash and diplomatic quagmire not unlike the one that obtains between the United States and Muslim nations today.
About the Author
Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1757 to Royall Tyler and Mary (Steele) Tyler, Tyler attended the Boston Latin School, Yale and then Harvard, where he earned a reputation as a quick-witted joker. After graduation, he briefly served in the Massachusetts militia under John Hancock during the abortive Rhode Island expedition. In late 1778, he returned to Harvard to study law, and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1780. He opened a practice in Braintree, Massachusetts, eight miles outside of Boston. After a brief stint in suppressing the 1787 Shays's Rebellion, Tyler moved to Boston and boarded in the house of Elizabeth Palmer. After unsuccessfully courting Abigail Adams for many years, in 1794, he wed the Palmers's daughter, Mary Palmer, took her to his new home in Vermont, and with her had eleven children. In 1801, Tyler was appointed to the Supreme Court of Vermont as an assistant judge, and was later elected chief justice. In 1812 he ran unsuccessfully for the US Senate. In 1826, he died in Vermont, of facial cancer that he had suffered from for ten years.

Frederica (original 1965; edition 1968)
by Georgette HEYER
Work details
Frederica by Georgette Heyer (1965)
h--, 401-450, * home-library, * romance, * humor
I've seen this described as one of Heyer's better books, which confuses me. There is nothing new or wonderful about anything in this book. As usual, the heroine is a sensible pretty woman of good breeding with laudable loyalty and family feeling. The hero is sophisticated, physically powerful, fashionable, rich, and very respected in Society. They are brought together by the heroine's funny family (in this case, her rambunctious brothers and beautiful but silly sister--another Heyer trope). The brothers are the best part of this book, particularly Jessamy. His struggle toward maturity is the best subplot this novel could ask for. The main plot is lackluster, however. The love interests feel no heat for each other--after a few chapters of being friends, suddenly each is attracted to the other, but nothing really gets in the way or spurs them on to declare their love. At no point was my interest roused. The rich, handsome Marquis of Alverstroke was clearly going to marry the pretty, thoughtful Frederica after a few amusing scrapes and perhaps an attempted elopement on the part of her beautiful younger sister--and lo, it was so.
I've been reading a regency romance a month for a while now, and I think i need to take a break before I sour on the genre entirely.
This is a great book! A typical Heyer Regency romance, it's one of my favourites. Frederica and her delightful siblings come to London to try and establish Charis, their beautiful sister, in society. They ask - a little reluctantly - their distant cousin Lord Alverstoke if he would be willing to sponsor their entrance into polite society. He agrees, equally reluctantly, with the dubious intention of upsetting his sister. A surprising friendship blossoms; the rather bored Alverstoke finds himself quite charmed by Frederica's younger brothers, and oddly drawn to her too. The tale moves on apace, complete with balloon ascensions, a nasty scare, an excellent secretary, a planned elopement... and a most satisfying ending. Brilliant!
One of my favorite Heyer novels. Reads more like a novel and less like a comedy, like some of her others. More mature characters, a strong female lead, and a fun message.
Still excellent. The dialogue between Frederica and Alverstoke is always fun to read, and the boys are well developed characters. It has one of Heyer's funniest chaotic climaxes, even if it is told second-hand. This is the book that I always recommend as a good starting point for anyone who wants to try out Georgette Heyer's books.

When Frederica brings her younger siblings to London determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister, she seeks out their distant cousin, the Marquis of Alverstoke. Lovely, competent and refreshingly straightforward, she makes such a strong impression that the Marquis agrees to help launch them all into society. Normally wary of his family, Lord Alverstoke does his best to keep his distance. But with his enterprising country cousins underfoot, before he knows it the Marquis finds himself dangerously embroiled.… (more)

John Shaffer Phipps (August 11, 1874 – May 12, 1958) was an American lawyer and businessman who was an heir to the Phipps family fortune and a shareholder of his father-in-law's Grace Shipping Lines. He was a director of the Hanover Bank, U.S. Steel Corp. and W. R. Grace & Co.
Known as "Jay", he was born on August 11, 1874 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania to Henry Phipps and Anne Childs Shaffer.
On November 4, 1903 he married Margarita Celia Grace at Battle Abbey in Battle, East Sussex, England.[1] She was the daughter of Michael P. Grace and niece of William Russell Grace, Irish immigrants who became very successful in business. John and Margarita had four children. They were: John Henry Phipps, Michael Grace Phipps, Hubert Beaumont Phipps, and Margaret Phipps Boegner, who married J. Gordon Douglas, Jr.[2]
John Phipps amassed almost 2,500 acres (10 km2) of rolling Virginia farm lands in The Plains, Virginia including Brenton, an 1889 stone manor house. He was a polo player and Thoroughbred racehorse owner, and the property assembled from 1928 onwards would be the site of his Rockburn Stud farm. Upon his death it passed to his son Hubert.
Phipps purchased an old 160-acre (0.65 km2) Quaker farm on Long Island where he built a large mansion with magnificent gardens that, following his death, became a non-profit organization that today is known as Westbury House & Gardens and is open to the public. In the 1920s he purchased several large properties in West Palm Beach, Florida including one that was once used as a pineapple plantation. He subdivided the property and turned it into the three largest subdivisions containing luxury residential homes in what is now the El Cid Historic District. John Phipps built a home for himself he called "Casa Bendita." A large oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, it was designed in 1921 by architect Addison Mizner. Today, the property is occupied by his granddaughter, Susan Phipps Cochran, and her husband.
He died on April 27, 1958 in Palm Beach, Florida.[3]

Herbed Couscous
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
A really fast, simple side dish. Use any kind of broth that works with your menu, or even plain water. Use any soft green herb (parsley, basil, thyme, chives, dill).
Ingredients Nutrition
- 29.58 ml butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 177.44 ml chopped scallion (green onion)
- salt
- black pepper
- 354.88 ml couscous
- 473.18 ml low sodium chicken broth
- 14.79 ml chopped fresh parsley
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, scallion, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Saute until scallion softens, 2-4 minutes.
- Add couscous and cook, stirring often, until grains begin to brown and it smells nutty.
- Add broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 1 minute, until couscous is tender but firm.
- Stir in parsley and serve.
Most Helpful
I was a little confused with direction 3 to cook the couscous for 1 minutes especially when taking the prep and cook time into consideration so made the assumption that pearl/Israeli couscous should be used and the instruction should be 10 minutes instead of 1 minutes, otherwise followed instructions as written and 3 of us polished off a full recipe for 4, very enjoyable and fresh and will certainly try again and use othere herbs as well, thank you DrGaellon, made for New Kids On The Block tag game.

Hey TRTRAC,
You need to wait at least 24 hours after your last dose of morphine. To read further about the use of Suboxone, I recommend the following:
Hope this helps,
12 Aug 2011
You need to be well in to withdrawal, especially with Morphine. The dose of Morphine you were on matters too, so I wish you had given it. The 2nd time I had to induct onto Sub I was on 240 - 300 mg of Morphine a day because I had surgery and that was why I was on so much. Don't be surprised if you have to suffer some mild withdrawal symptoms for a while. I did. The 1st time I went on Sub I had been on Vicodin and the transition was smooth and simple. I waited to be in wds, took 8 mg of Sub and went to sleep. I never had wds again. It wasn't like that with Morphine. I had mild wds for about 11 days. The wds kept getting milder until I finally woke up 1 day and they were completely gone. I think I was taking 14 mg of Sub to do that. You may need more or less, everyone is different. In fact you may have an easy transition because everyone is indeed different. So all I'm saying is if you do feel mild wds for a while, don't panic. But they should be mild, and quite bearable. Good luck and let us know what happens.

The 38-Year-Old Woman Who Controls More Than 1,200 Companies
Now that we own our own offshore companies, we were particularly interested to see this week's big Offshore Secrets project in the Guardian.
The project includes a bunch of stories. This one about corporate directors who serve as fronts for secret owners caught our eye — not least because the directors of our offshore company quit after we said we wanted to meet them.
Here's an excerpt from the Guardian:
At the age of 38, Bradford-born Sarah Petre-Mears is running one of the biggest business empires on earth. Or so it would appear.
Official records show her controlling more than 1,200 companies across the Caribbean, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and the UK itself. Her business partner, Edward Petre-Mears, is listed as a director of at least another 1,100 international firms.
But the true location of this major businesswoman is mysterious.
The UK companies register lists 12 different addresses for her, several in London. But none are real homes: several are Post Office boxes, collecting mail for hundreds of different locations, while others merely house the offices of incorporation agencies. ...
The reporter eventually finds a house on Nevis, a small Caribbean island, where Petre-Mears lives for part of the year.
We tried to ask her about the allegations made against nominee directors. But she didn't want to talk about it. However, the evidence we have gathered suggests that her impressive directorships are a sham. A DHL courier has for years been making regular overseas runs, carrying batches of company papers for Petre-Mears simply to sign in return for cash.
Here's the full article. And here's our own series on offshore companies.

We know marriage numbers are declining across the country and when it comes to black women, their numbers are even worse. In the 1950s, black women were the most married of all races, today they are the least married.

Russell Westbrook laughs off question about Kevin Durant
At some point, Russell Westbrook will sit down with members of the media and discuss Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder, how he felt about the move, and how it impacted him both personally and professionally.
But not right now. He remains silent.
This Vine making its way around, where Westbrook laughs — probably at the question, although read into that whatever you want — when asked about Durant sums up where we are.
In the full Facebook clip, Westbrook walks away, too. It's his right. He can talk about it on his schedule.
Rudy Gay, Vlade Divac clear the air
Rudy Gay expressed displeasure with how the Kings were handling trade rumors. Sacramento general manager Vlade Divac retorted that Gay had his phone number.
Apparently, Gay found it.
Following those comments, Gay told ABC10 on Thursday afternoon that he had since spoken with Divac.
"I have talked to Vlade," Gay said from his Nike Skills Academy at Hardwood Palace in Rocklin. "I can't say since Monday stuff has changed, but I just feel like we have a little bit of time to start changing things."
Gay, who will be entering his 11th NBA season, has insisted he hasn't demanded a trade and should he remain a member of the Kings by the time training camp opens in October, he says he'll report and be ready to go.
"At this point in my career I just want to be happy," said Gay. "I talked to Vlade and we're trying to make that happen."
Even if he hasn't demanded a trade, it sure sounds like Gay would welcome one. I doubt the Kings would mind moving on, either.
But it takes another team to trade for Gay, and so far, one hasn't emerged.
In the meantime, tensions appear to be eased. Open communication usually helps.
Jimmy Butler: I didn't move Derrick Rose or Joakim Noah from Bulls
Jimmy Butler said of the Derrick Rose trade, "It had to be one of us."
Butler also says not blame him for the Bulls losing Rose — or Joakim Noah, who's also headed to the Knicks.
Jimmy Butler, via Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago:
"That has nothing to do with me, I don't move guys," Butler said. "People are gonna think what they're gonna think. I don't let it bother me. I know where I stand, I know who I am. It's one more thing for people to talk about. I don't pay too much attention to it."
I can believe Butler didn't directly urge Chicago to trade Rose, but Butler's presence matters.
Rose and Butler clearly didn't ideally mesh on the court, and there might have been off-court issues, too. If it weren't for Butler, the Bulls might have kept Rose.
Noah is a little different, because it seems he, more than the team, was ready for a breakup. Still, that might have also had to do with Butler.
Butler is trying to grow into a leader, a natural progression for someone who became his team's best player. But that was awkward with the Bulls' previous leaders — Rose and Noah — still in the locker room. There's no simple solution, though moving on without Rose and Noah will clear that cloud.
So — without other information — it's too much to "blame" Butler for Rose's and Noah's departures. But Rose and Noah moving from Chicago to New York can still be ascribed to Butler.
It might not have been something asked for directly. It's just the reality of the situation.
Dwyane Wade: "It's Jimmy Butler's team"
Dwyane Wade is back in sweet home, Chicago.
Wade met with the media for the first time and talked about the pairing of himself and Rajon Rondo with the Bulls' existing star in Jimmy Butler — Wade used the term "three alphas" more than once. But he also was clear about whose team this was going to be on the court.
"We're not going to go through this all year. It's Jimmy Butler's team. Myself and Rondo are here to bring what we bring as athletes."
Wade added that he would not be a Bull if Jimmy Butler had not personally called him and asked him to come.
Wade took that cue from Shaquille O'Neal when he joined Wade's Heat team — which eventually led to the Heat's first title in 2006. The Bulls would love for that kind of result here, although it's much tougher to see this Chicago roster having anywhere near that kind of impact.

I recently purchased a Metra 99-7505 install kit for my '03 Protege5 from CircuitCity. The guys there assured me it was the correct kit and this forum said it was the correct model. I opened the bag it came in and it had screw tabs on the sides of the face. After I got the factory radio out, I realized there was nowhere to attach these tabs. After being reassured that this was the correct kit, I decided that the tabs had to be optional so I broke them off. After I broke the tabs off it crossed my mind that I may have gotten the wrong kit in the wrong bag. I held the kit up to the opening and it was too wide.
I'm afraid that I have just lost my money because this kit is not going to fit.
Any suggestions?

Election 2010
Shocker In South Carolina — Update: Felony Charge To Boot!
Nothing about Nikki Haley or Mark Sanford or any of that salacious stuff.
No, it's about the Democratic primary for the Senate in South Carolina.
Now, we all know that no one is going to defeat Sen. Jim DeMint (R). But everyone thought that his opponent in November was going to be ex-judge and former state Rep. Vic Rawl.
The winner, the improbable winner, was Alvin Greene, an unemployed black Army veteran who spent literally nothing on his campaign ... other than the $10,400 filing fee. He doesn't even have a Web site.
Mother Jones magazine is as baffled about it as the rest of us:
Despite his lack of election funds, Greene claims to have criss-crossed the state during his campaign—though he declined to specify any of the towns or places he visited or say how much money he spent while on the road.
"It wasn't much, I mean, just, it was—it wasn't much. Not much, I mean, it wasn't much," he said, when asked how much of his own money he spent in the primary. Greene frequently spoke in rapid-fire, fragmentary sentences, repeating certain phrases or interrupting himself multiple times during the same sentence while he searched for the right words. But he was emphatic about certain aspects of his candidacy, insisting that details about his campaign organization, for instance, weren't relevant. "I'm not concentrating on how I was elected—it's history. I'm the Democratic nominee—we need to get talking about America back to work, what's going on, in America."
Update at 2:1 0 p.m. ET. And now there's this:
"Court records show 32-year-old Alvin Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student," the Associated Press reports. "The felony charge carries up to five years in prison. Greene said he had no comment when asked about the charge Wednesday and hung up on a reporter. The unemployed veteran posted bond after his arrest. He has yet to enter a plea or be indicted."

0 items in bag
From Uji Japan, one of our most popular items. Not to be confused with the "Matcha" used for the tea ceremony, Powdered Sencha is a good sencha that is ground into a talcum-like fine green powder. 1/4 teaspoon in hot water will give you an immediate supply of the healthy ingredients in green tea. Many add this to their shake mixes. Try it today!
Net weight 100gm
There is really no difference in taste and nutrition between these two teas, one is organically grown and the other isn't. I can't say one tastes better than the other, they are comparable outside of the organic label.

He played a smooth-singing, sweet-talking jock on TV, but in real life Cory Monteith was fond of describing himself with one word: awkward.
Even after the gangly, 6'3" star rocketed to stardom on the FOX smash Glee, he still "thought of himself that way," says Maureen Webb, an early mentor who discovered Monteith when he was a 20-year-old self-described "wayward youth."
Dining with Webb and his manager Elena Kirschner at Vancouver eatery East of Main on July 11, Monteith – who had completed rehab for substance abuse two months earlier – "was in great spirits," says Webb.
When the subject turned to his work with Project Limelight Society, a nonprofit arts program for kids, "his face lit up," says Webb, who cofounded the group. Having overcome his own tough childhood, "he said, 'The performing arts saved my life once. I want to give back.'"

Arm and Leg Lift Helps Your Balancing Skills
Published: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 8:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 8:42 p.m.
How's your balance?
Solid enough to cross a tight wire ... or always thinking you could've had a V8?
Whichever end of the spectrum you fall, it can never hurt to cultivate your balancing skills.
And as a bonus, better balance usually means a tighter core or vice versa!
Having better balance and stronger core is a win-win!
Our move today is an Opposite Arm and Leg Lift. All you need is yourself, a yoga mat and a flat surface.
This move's focus is core/balance, but you will feel it in your chest, shoulders, back, glutes and hamstrings as well.
Begin this move by positioning yourself on your mat on your hands and knees.
Square your body and engage the core by rotating the hips and pushing the naval to the ceiling.
Now, start this move by extending your left arm straight ahead of your body, shoulder level.
Make sure you are steady and proceed to extend the right leg straight out behind you.
You should feel the engagement in your chest, tummy and glutes. Keep this position strong and steady for as long as possible, 10 to 20 seconds, then release and repeat on the other side. You can continue back and forth and build on your holding time. If you simply can't do both (arm/leg) at the same time, just do one at a time and build up to both.
This move is great — anytime, anywhere — and fits in perfectly with any workout.
