Is it possible to set the focus of portfolio posts? By that I mean have the screen view centre on the image / post - scrolled down a little from the top.
If you click the left and right arrow between the portfolio posts the next page loads at the top with the header and everything in view, so the viewer would have to scroll down a little again each time. Annoying.
If this is not possible then I'd like to make the header space narrower (I'm considering losing the topbar at present). Is this possible?
Thanks, TC

Took an extended trail route home yesterday . Adds a half hour to the ride. One monster switchback-filled pain fest of a climb. first time tackling it on the Ogre. It climbs techy stuff pretty good. It was raining though, and the Big Apples don't like pine needles and oak leaves on dirt in the rain.

National Aluminium Chairman Arrested in Bribery Case
India's Central Bureau of Investigation arrested the chairman of National Aluminium Co., one of India's two largest makers of the alloy, in a bribery investigation.
The statement on the bureau's website dated Feb. 25 gave no names. Calls to the mobile phone and office of A.K. Srivastava, chairman of National Aluminium, went unanswered. Finance Director B.L. Bagra, who declined to comment on the report on Feb. 25, couldn't be reached at his office the next day.
The chairman's wife accepted three one kilogram (32.2 troy ounce) bricks of 24-carat gold from the wife of a person brokering a deal between the chairman and a group of private companies based in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, the bureau said. Both couples were arrested, it said.
The chairman's wife was arrested in New Delhi after she deposited the gold in a locker in the Bank of Maharashtra, according to the statement. Investigation of two lockers resulted in a total haul of 10.2 kilograms of gold and 3 million rupees ($66,200) cash, it said.

Kegel exercises have multiple uses for men and women. They are most commonly used to assist with bladder and bowel control issues, reduce the pain of menstrual cramps, improve sexual enjoyment and ease childbirth. These exercises actually strengthen the pelvis floor muscles which are a critical component to supporting the function of the important organs in this region. The exercises are easy to do and can be completed anywhere at anytime.
Isolate the appropriate muscle by standing up straight and place you hand on the front of your lower abdomen.
Contract your pelvic floor muscles, while in this position. The sensation is similar to when you need to pee but are holding it. This is the correct sensation. Your pelvis should not move, as this exercise is focusing on the internal muscles.
Strengthen this muscle by tightening, hold for a count of three, then releasing. Repeat this 10 times.
Recheck your technique--be sure that you are not holding your breath or clenching your abdominal muscle.
Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times a day. Each day, increase the length of the hold by a count of two. These exercises can be done while standing in line, on the bus, in the car, or anywhere else. They are invisible to others, but provide a great benefit to you.
Follow this regime and within 2 weeks you will see a noticeable difference in the length of time that you are able to hold the muscle and an increase in bladder control.
Expect to have gained a noticeable increase in bladder control, after approximately 4 weeks of this program. An added bonus of these exercises is an increase in sexual enjoyment for women. Expectant mothers generally experience easier delivery and reduction in tearing during natural childbirth.
Try Pilates if you would like to continue to work on this area, but would like to see some outward improvements, such as a reduction in the size of your lower abdomen. Kegel exercises are a critical part of Pilates and thanks to your efforts, you will be able to take full advantage of the benefits of that exercise program.
Tips & Warnings
- Remember to check if you are holding your breath, or if your body has moved position. If it has, you are not performing the exercise correctly. Relax and try again!

This question for my mom with 10 years of PD.
She is looking for physical therapy centers with specialists who have experience with PD patients. Do you have any suggestions as to where we can find relevant information on physical therapy for PD patients? I've called MGH and a couple of PT places but they don't seem to have much information.

Please see my previous post detailing the therapy programs available at Mass. General -- try the phone numbers given, explain that your mother has PD, and ask how she might access therapists and guidance with regard to both therapy and an appropriate walker. Let me know if you have questions regarding nutrition, I will help if I can.

Babirye appeared on Tuesday before Richard Oluge, Iganga Grade one magistrate who found her guilty of burning her 6-year-old son Abdul Alimansi. Prosecution told court that on 17 September 2010 in Bugumba zone, Babirye burnt Alimansi using firewood and polythen paper accusing him of eating left over food. Babirye was pinned by Asuman Saidi, the vice chairperson of Bugumba village who told court that the suspect tied the minor and piled firewood on him before starting a fire. In his ruling, Richard Oluge, Iganga Grade one magistrate said that prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and sentenced the accused to three years in jail.

Historical Traveler Reviews Belterra Casino Resort Florence
This was, by far, the worst experience I've ever had on any trip to any place I've gone. The staff at the hotel/casino are incredibly arrogant and pompous. They are not there to help you. They are there to take your money. The hotel itself is decorted nicely and the rooms are adequate, but the attitude of the staff far outweighs any upside to the hotel. The spa treatments are overpriced and the salon at JCPenney is better equipped and staffed than Belterra's. The casino boat is incredibly smokey. Smoke everywhere you go. You emerge from the casino reeking of cigarettes. There aren't enough tables for the number of patrons there. Slot machines are awful and will ruin your day if you like to play slots. Stick to the tables...at least you can chat w/the dealers. Belterra needs more dealers with personalities. Any monkey can deal cards...how about a dealer who at least fakes interest in you winning. I, under no circumstances, would go to this hotel/casino again. Don't waste your time. Go to Caesar's.
Casino is garbage
Small- too few slot machines, too few craps tables. They allow one customer to play two and three machines when the place is packed. No one around was winning. Plus alot of the machines have no audio effects and some of the slots accept and give pay-out vouchers some don't but you never know which is which until you're sitting at the machine. Too much video games. They only had 8 -quarter wheel of fortune machines and 8 $1.00 ones !!! In the entire casino !! The hotel was great. Took two weeks to get a sat. night reservation. Nice resturants and 24 hr room service. I would have prefered a crappy hotel and a bigger casino
Too much smoke..
We enjoyed our stay at the casino for the most part. The rooms were very nice and we enjoyed the buffet for dinner and breakfast. The casino itself, however was so filled with smoke that I had to leave. Belterra casino needs to make one of their floors, non-smoking.
Nice Resort/Tight Slots
The good:
I visited the Casino/Resort this past weekend(11/12/04-11/13/04) and besides feeling like I'm in the country, I pull up to this gorgeous facility in the middle of nowhere. Well, I made it to registration and then to my room. Now I must say the room was beautiful and very clean. The bathroom was the "main event". The jacuzzi tub was relaxing and the marble flooring and seperate shower closet were great additions, very appealing to the senses. I also utilized the workout facility, steam room, sauna and whirlpool which is free to guest. I tried to get my money's worth. The buffet was decent. It was the seafood buffet. Pretty average, the food was pretty good. Typical buffet, nothing to brag about. I was hungry so it sufficed.
The bad:
I've been to Vegas, Argosy, Grand Vic etc, and I've never seen such tight slots as were at the Belterra. No one around me was winning which should have been a sign to get out of there quick. It wasn't that crowded which I liked but maybe other people unlike myslef was notified of the tight slots.
The ugly:
I lost a lot of money!
If you need to relax, kick back, vacation, take advantage of the resort, spas, restaurants, the jacuzzis, etc. with your significant other then the Belterra is your place. If you want to win some money your odds are probably better at Argosy, Grand Victory or Caesar's.
Belterra, Some Good, Some Bad
Wife and I stayed at the Belterra on Wednesday night, November 10, 2004.
Had a wonderful room, king size bed, jacuzzi tub of which reminded us of the Aladdin in Las Vegas. Overlooked the golfcourse and the Ohio River. The best room, by far, of any of the riverboats.
Decided to have supper at the buffet, which was a mistake. Got there at 5PM when it just opened, and found a great deal of the food luckwarm. Price is 15$ per person, but if your over 55, you get 3$ off. Even at that price, we should have passed. When I saw almost as many people in the adjoining restaurant as the buffet, I should have known something was wrong. The Ryan's Steakhouse, or Golden Corral, buffets are far better than this.
Found the casino to be very nice and well laid out, though a bit small. Have all the table games, 5$ min which I like, and about half were open this night. But even then, a seat could be had at a BJ table, or room at the craps table. Very nice selection of slots which would rival Vegas. Video Poker was, however, a bit lacking.
Now The Problem:: The slots are BRUTALLY tight. Usually in a casino, any casino, you see some people hitting something. Last night, it was put your money in, push the button a few times, get up and walk away. I heard several people talking about how dead the machines were. And at 7PM, more people were leaving than coming in. At Caesar's, up the river, the place is just getting going at that time. I don't mind losing money in slots, but, not the way the Belterra has their slots set up. If they wish to gain new players, and keep the old ones coming back, they need to address their slots.
My first trip to the Belterra was also my last.
We loved staying at Belterra
We had a fabulous time at Belterra Hotel and Casino!!! The breakfast and dinner buffet was wonderful. Our room was spectacular and we will return in the near future.
We do hope that one day soon the casino will offer free alcoholic drinks while gambling; that is the only complaint we have regarding our stay.
Dual Personality Hotel/Casino
Just returned from a quick overnight visit to the Belterra Hotel and Casino. I'd been anxious to visit since I'd heard several good things about it, and the Belterra had been inundating our local press with ads and great deals. They're off to a fine start, but there are some inconsistencies I hope they can fix. The hotel/casino aspires to Vegas splendor (per their ads), and they almost get it right. The architecture/interior design is lovely. Clearly, no expense has been spared to make this a beautiful, classy-looking establishment. Gorgeous inlaid marble and tile floors, a several story high glass rotunda in the lobby and a skylit atrium walkway, an aquarium wall between the restaurant and the hall to the buffet, I could go on. Impressive. And the rooms are equally impressive. Spacious, rich colors, and one of the most incredible bathrooms I've ever seen. Huge, separate jacuzzi/soaking tub and glass shower. Muted lighting. Excellent. Unfortunately, they cut corners on some of the details which would have made it all perfect. The linens on my bed were a scratchy, low thread count muslin-like material. The heat/air conditioning didn't work very well, and was noisy. The only full-service restaurant open at the time (the steak house is closed for some reason) had a noisy, unappealing decor with TVs in the corner and wobbly tables. And the service was slow and inefficient. Don't they know that if you're sitting around for an hour waiting for your food, you're not losing money in the casino? I was also dismayed that there were no free drinks in the casino (alcoholic) for gamblers, but that may be a local law, not sure. The casino is a slots-lovers paradise. Not enough video poker machines or tables. But I suspect they know their clientele, as the majority of people seemed to be slots-players. Only one bar in the casino, and it was usually filled with video poker players desperate for a machine. I guess when you plunk down a glitzy casino/hotel in the middle-of-nowhere farm country, there's going to be a culture clash. Hopefully, they'll address the details and make this place into the Vegas-esque destination they envision.
The Good and the Bad at Belterra
We just got back home from a one night (Thursday) stay at Belterra Casino. Upon arriving at the Casino, you will find yourself in the beautiful lobby area. It is almost something reminiscent of a smaller vegas casino. Check in was very quick. Our room was on the 12th floor on the opposite side of the golf course. The room was very clean and very nice for the price. The oversized bathroom was great. The casino itself is a very short indoor walk from the actual hotel down to the boat. Don't forget to stop by the championship club and signup to obtain a players card. Upon doing this, we experienced a rude woman behind the counter who was being ridiculously rude to our friends. She was part of the VIP service, but helping our friends get signed up b/c there was no one in the VIP line at the time. She would not put the couple on the same championship club account and was very rude about the whole thing. The actual casino isn't too bad, but smaller than anticipated. There were only two floors of games on the boat. I was also surprised at the lack of table games. Thankfully it wasn't too crowded when we were there. There was only 1 paigow table, 1 let it ride, maybe a few blackjack and craps. There were also a few other games but it didn't seem like it was an adequate amount for all the people they try to cater too. I was also disappointed at the lack of people walking around offering beverages. I did like the laid-back atmosphere and most of the dealers I interacted with were very nice and helpful. We also ate dinner at the Steakhouse. The food was fairly good but not sure if it justifies the price. Our service was poor and we waited almost an hour for our food when the restaurant was only half full. They also have a buffet there that seemed to be popular. Finally, we also had some problems at checkout. We were quoted a lower rate at the time of check-in. I signed off on the fact that they would apply the rate they quoted at the time of checkin. During checkout, I was surprised to find the rate different than what I was quoted...especially without notifying me prior. They made a honest mistake and misquoted a rate to me. They should have lived up to their mistake without us having to get upset about it. It wasn't worth their hassle, especially with the money I spent in the casino. All in all, it was a decent experience, but I don't know if I would go back. If you live in Ohio and you are looking for the quick Vegas fix, I would definately recommend Casino Windsor first. The casino is huge, and there is absolutely no lack of anything to do there.
Fabulous Resort BUT!!
I have been enjoying the resort with bi-weekly trips for over 2 years now. The standard rooms are beyond desirable, all having 2 adult jacuzzis and full service to your room. If you are lucky enough to book a 15th floor suite, you may not leave (heaven).The overall stay remains above others but recent additions and management change has caused a less hospitable staff and the chances of getting a rude reply to questions are 50/50.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
The casino and resort were absolutely beautiful. We went there about 4 months ago and are planning to go back this weekend. The resort is very upscale. The best part of our room was the bathroom!! It had a TV and a great big jacuzzi tub. There was a couch in the living room area, a nice comfortable bed and a TV with cable. There are also plenty of nice places to eat within the resort that are reasonably priced. We went to the ultimate buffet which had just about every type of food imaginable...I felt like I was on a cruise!! The casino itself was also very nice. The dealers were all friendly and helpful. The only complaint I had is that the day we went there were only 2 floors with just a few tables open and we had to wait for quite some time before we were able to play. But other than that the trip was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it!!

Travel Blogs from Florence
Last Great Day/Eighth Day
... meaning with no accompaniment, and it turned out quite well. Scott Moss gave the closing message of the Feast, taking a true story of a fallen hero from his hometown, and using John 3:16, developing the story and the verse it into a great message of hope for this soldier and all of mankind.
Soon after the service we hit the road, as we had a few hours to drive before spending the night in West Virginia.
Spiritual Food, Fellowship, & Fun
... remembered her well from nine years ago. It was cool to see the different offices and cubicles, and the TV studio and mail rooms. Now when I call the Home Office, I can better picture the personnel there at work.
After a nice dinner in our room, we went downstairs to the Music Jam. It was mostly bluegrass-type music, but I found it very entertaining although I didn't know most of the songs. I especially enjoyed the ...
Days Three and Four of The Feast
... that I miss, and a few treats for the family to enjoy. Anyone ever had malt bread with raisins? It is a rather ridiculous price over here, but I wanted Martin and the girls to sample it, and after all, it is the Feast. Yeah, the Feast of fat things, although hopefully I won't become one of the fat things. :/
We have only one washer and dryer for the whole huge hotel here, but they are free. I have found that the best chance of catching them not ...
A Wonderful First Holy Day
... other people, as we had been at our own table for breakfast, and we did, this time. Two of the brethren were the choir director, George Rusnik and his wife Robin. He is such an interesting and friendly guy. The meal we had was wonderful: green beans, mashed potatoes, beef & chicken, bread roll, & best of all, a delicious slice of cake witha lemony filling. We fellowshipped for a long time, and I also met a guy fromToronto, Tony deSanto, who was in ...
Back in London?
We left our house just before 9 am on the Sabbath (26th) and drove to the Knoxville UCG congregation. It was easy to find the location, a high quality conference center with various different rooms,often apparently used for weddings, etc. Mr. Stan Martin, the pastor, was already in Jekyll Island, since he coordinates the Feast there this year.
Lacy & Frances Mayes were there, and later, Barbara & Madalene arrived. They had already ...

Hi folks.
All the image galleries from one of my work sites, http://www.tokyostation.es, has gone screwed. From one day to another, all the images and links dissapeared, and they´re replaced with this image: tokyostation.es/wp-includes/images/crystal/default.png. All of them. You can see this on those links, as an example:
- http://tokyostation.es/small-life/la-primera-pullip-de-2012/
- http://tokyostation.es/ver-y-leer/jugando-con-las-sombras/
I´m using the plugins File Gallery, Easy Fancybox, and Ajax Thumbnail Rebuild. Disabling those don´t fix anything, so I don´t know how to fix that. Any help here?
Thanks for your time.

Spear of Destiny is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by FormGen, and is the prequel to Wolfenstein 3D, released in 1992. As in Wolfenstein 3D, the player assumes the role of Allied spy William "B.J." Blazkowicz, on a mission trying to recapture the Spear of Destiny from the Nazis after it was stolen from Versailles.
Spear of Destiny consists of a single story-line episode, divided into 21 levels, 19 of which must be completed to win the game. The remaining two are secret levels that can be accessed from within the first 18. The gameplay is comparable to that of Wolfenstein 3D, which uses the same game engine. The levels are divided into four blocks (focusing respectively on the castle's tunnels, dungeons, main keep, and ramparts), each ending with the player having to defeat a "boss".
Unlike Wolfenstein 3D, the game did not include a shareware version; however, a 2-level playable demo was distributed.[1]
The Lost Episodes[edit]
Two mission packs for Spear of Destiny, titled Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge, were created and published by FormGen Corporation in May 1994.[1] These are collectively known as the "Lost Episodes", because they were sold in low numbers and their existence is not widely known. Each of these, too, consists of 21 levels. The Lost Episodes contain new level textures, new enemies, and new appearances for old enemies.
A CD version containing all three episodes, titled the Spear of Destiny Super CD Package, was released in late 1994. The source code of Spear of Destiny was released in 1995.
A DVD version released in 2001, simply titled Wolfenstein 3D contains Wolfenstein 3D, as well as all three Spear of Destiny episodes included as bonus. The Steam release (August 3, 2007) includes the Lost Episodes.[2] In October 2009, the iPhone Wolfenstein 3D app was updated to include Spear of Destiny.
Computer Gaming World criticized Spear of Destiny for not improving technically on Wolfenstein 3D, but praised the gameplay and new enemies, and concluded that it was "a well-executed and enjoyable game".[3]

AEI scholar celebrates the success of the Clean Air Act's acid rain cap-and-trade program — without acknowledging its existence
Here's an emerging conservative disinformation strategy: Tout the pollution reduced by science-based EPA cap-and-trade programs, but don't give any credit to science, EPA, or cap-and-trade.
The latest right-winger to push this meme is Steve Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute. Back in 2009, he wrote "The brain waves of the American right continue to be erratic, when they are not flat-lining." Hayward's brain isn't flat-lining here — it's working over-time in some Bizarro universe.
NRDC's David Doniger has the amazing story in this Switchboard repost:
For Earth Day, Steve Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute posted this shocker: "Energy Fact of the Week: Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Coal Have Declined 54 Percent." He includes some nice government charts, which I'm sure he won't mind my reproducing below.
But from Hayward's blog, you'd think this happened by itself!
The chief causes of this decline are technology""cost-effective "scrubbers" to remove sulfur dioxide from the waste stream""and resource substitution: we started using much more low-sulfur coal from the western United States.
No mention of the Clean Air Act's acid rain program – the limits on sulfur dioxide emissions established in the 1990 Clean Air Act. Without the Clean Air Act's pollution limits, this scrubber technology and switch to lower-sulfur coal would never have happened. Why install pollution controls or use cleaner fuels if you can dump all your pollution in the atmosphere for free?
Who could doubt this? Well, Hayward just slyly omits to mention the role of the Clean Air Act. But the good folks at the Heritage Foundation go farther, suggesting that the magic happens despite the Clean Air Act. See my colleague Laurie Johnson's take-down of this nonsense here.
Let's not forget, on this hyper-partisan Earth Day 2011, that the acid rain curbs were proposed in 1989 by President George H.W. Bush and adopted by Congress the next year with broad bipartisan support.
And this was – dare I say it – the world-premiere "cap and trade" program! Proposed by Republicans! Enacted by both parties! Carried out without a hitch by Republican and Democratic presidents, at a fraction of the predicted cost!
Hey, maybe we could use this cool idea to curb the dangerous carbon pollution that's driving global warming!
Oh, never mind.

Looks like a wrong word here:
"Tout the pollution produced by science-based EPA cap-and-trade programs"
Shouldn't that be "pollution reduced"?
"AEI Scholar"?
Is that like "jumbo shrimp"? Or "plastic glasses"? Or "military intelligence"? How about "academic fraternity"? Or "clean coal"?
He's also claiming this over at NYTimes:
"…increasing partisanship and bad faith of the environmental movement is now the chief obstacle to sensible reform of the Endangered Species Act and other antique environmental statutes."
As Paul Krugman recently observed, there's not much thinking going on at those tanks. The extent to which these propaganda outlets continue to received deference from the press is unfortunate.
Revisionist history is in vogue now. What worries me is that one large faction of our culture has given unspoken license to others to engage in revisionist history, to simply alter the facts, distort them, lie by omission, and then, get away with it. This practice is nothing less than petty fact theft, which, taken together, amounts to grand larceny. The problem is, so few of us are there to call out these cheats and expose them: we have actual full – time paying jobs that don't allow such "luxuries." And yet, we manage to make the time to point our collective fingers at the total jerks who take it upon themselves to spread lies and deceit, thinking they can pull one over on the rest of us. I for one, have no tolerance for this BS and will do my best, in spare moments, to call them on their sh#t, because, that's what it is: one huge dung pile.
I think it is important here to understand that there are important differences between the cap and trade used to drive down acid rain and some of the other cap and trade systems. Firstly, the acid rain system was a cap and trade system. Wikapedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Rain_Program) says: "As an incentive for reducing emissions, for each ton of sulfur dioxide reduced below the applicable emissions limit, owners of a generating unit received an emissions allowance they could use at another unit, keep for future use, or sell. This legitimized a market for sulfur dioxide emissions allowances, administered by the Chicago Board of Trade.[5] Units that installed flue gas desulfurization equipment (e.g., scrubbers) or other "qualifying Phase I technology" which reduced sulfur dioxide emissions by 90%, qualified for a two-year extension of the 1995 deadline, provided they owned allowances to cover their total actual emissions for each year of the extension period." This system generates no revenue for governments.
This is very different than some other programs where governments SELL permits. These systems are defacto taxes. The price increases associated with this type of system have to be much higher because the price increases have to take account of the tax in addition to the actual cost of clean-up.
Secondly, there was always plenty of low sulfur coal available so the target could always be met. The cap and trade simply allowed various generators to use different strategies. It also encouraged generators installing scrubbers to scrub more then the minimum required to meet target for the sake of trade-able allowances.
It is a bit more tricky where investment is required to meet targets. The value of trade-able allowances will vary enormously depending whether investors have over or under estimated demand. Not desirable when investors in things like clean energy take years years to recover capital expenditure.
Might be useful Joe to run an article comparing the acid rain cap and trade with proposals for reducing greenhouse gases.

Keeping Color Photos Bright and Fade-Free
By CHARLES HAGEN
Published: January 2, 1997
THE holidays are over, the gifts given and received, the family snapshots taken. Now comes the tricky part: getting the film processed properly, and storing the pictures so that they will last as long as possible.
Most people learn the importance of these tasks the hard way: by watching a treasured color snapshot fade to purple.
''I had a child a year ago, so I'm very aware of the problem,'' said Leslie Nolan, the curator of photography at the Museum of the City of New York. ''I have black-and-white pictures of my grandmother when she was 2 or 3, and they're in great condition. But my own baby pictures, which are in color -- forget it!''
Prolonged exposure to light, widely fluctuating temperatures, too much humidity and rough handling are all enemies of photographic prints. More insidious foes are the harmful chemicals found in some album pages, and the unstable chemicals in the resin-coated photographic papers used for virtually all color prints and for many black-and-white prints. Both can cause images to change color and lose detail with the passage of time.
But there is some good news: with proper processing and storage, the life of photographs can be greatly extended.
''Films and papers have gotten much better'' over the last two decades, said Henry Wilhelm, a conservator in Grinnell, Iowa, who with his wife, Carol Brower, wrote ''The Permanence and Care of Color Photographs'' (Preservation Publishing, 1993). With proper care, Mr. Wilhelm added, ''color prints can be kept for hundreds and even thousands of years.''
Widely regarded as the guru of photographic conservation, Mr. Wilhelm has devoted 25 years to studying the subject and to carrying out extensive research on color permanence in his own labs. His first recommendation is to take your film to a lab that uses Fujicolor paper. ''Fujicolor prints on display will last more than four times as long as prints on any other color-negative paper'' before significant fading occurs, Mr. Wilhelm said. That means that under normal conditions, framed prints using this paper will keep their bright colors for 75 years or more or for much longer when stored in an album or box.
How long color prints will last is, at best, an inexact science. Paul Allen, the manager of corporate media relations at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, the other top manufacturer of color paper, disputes Mr. Wilhelm's conclusions. ''Our tests indicate that under average conditions prints on Kodak paper should last at least 50 years, and in albums, 100 years or more,'' Mr. Allen said.
Since 1995, he added, Kodak has offered a lifetime guarantee. If anything happens to pictures taken with Kodak color film printed on Kodak paper, he said, from fading to being crumpled in the washing machine, ''we'll reprint them, for life.'' The guarantee applies only to prints made since the policy was introduced. To take advantage of the free service, customers should ask at their local labs or call the toll-free number Kodak has set up: (800) 242-2424.
Black-and-white prints on resin-coated paper are not immune to the chemical changes that afflict color prints. They ''shift toward an ugly brown color'' if they are on display for any length of time, Mr. Wilhelm said. This shift seldom occurs with prints made on fiber-based papers, as most were 25 years ago, but many labs now use the cheaper resin-coated paper. Mr. Wilhelm recommends copying black-and-white resin-coated photos onto Fujicolor paper.
''The choice of color paper is the single most critical factor'' in increasing the life of any print, Mr. Wilhelm said.
Fading is not the only danger photographs face. How prints are stored is also crucial, and here the old ways may still be the best. ''Believe it or not,'' said Grant Romer, the director of conservation at the George Eastman House/International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, ''the traditional method of storing photographs, in an album and mounted with photo corners, turns out to be a good, flexible way of preserving prints.''
Just don't skimp on the quality of the album, and above all, never use ''magnetic'' or self-stick album pages. The adhesive used on the pages is rubber-based, and over time, Mr. Romer warned, the pages and the clear plastic that covers them tend to degrade, becoming increasingly sticky. After that, he added, ''you can't remove the print from the plastic mess.''
Instead, look for albums labeled ''archival'' or ''no PVC's.'' This abbreviation stands for polyvinyl chloride, a particularly unstable kind of plastic that emits gases that damage photographs. Not all plastics used in albums are bad; Mr. Wilhelm lists polyester, Mylar and high-density polypropylene as safe materials.
Some archival albums feature pages made of paper that is free of destructive acids. High-quality albums can be found in camera and stationery stores or can be ordered from archival-products companies like Light Impressions in Rochester, (800) 828-6216; Gaylord Brothers in Syracuse, (800) 448-6160, or University Products in Holyoke, Mass., (800) 628-1912.

There is increasing interest in assessing how sponsored research funding influences the development and trajectory of science and technology. Traditionally, linkages between research funding and subsequent results are hard to track, often requiring access to separate funding or performance reports released by researchers or sponsors. Tracing research sponsorship and output linkages is even more challenging when researchers receive multiple funding awards and collaborate with a variety of differentially-sponsored research colleagues. This article presents a novel bibliometric approach to undertaking funding acknowledgement analysis which links research outputs with their funding sources. Using this approach in the context of nanotechnology research, the article probes the funding patterns of leading countries and agencies including patterns of cross-border research sponsorship. We identify more than 91,500 nanotechnology articles published worldwide during a 12-month period in 2008–2009. About 67% of these publications include funding acknowledgements information. We compare articles reporting funding with those that do not (for reasons that may include reliance on internal core-funding rather than external awards as well as omissions in reporting). While we find some country and field differences, we judge that the level of reporting of funding sources is sufficiently high to provide a basis for analysis. The funding acknowledgement data is used to compare nanotechnology funding policies and programs in selected countries and to examine their impacts on scientific output. We also examine the internationalization of research funding through the interplay of various funding sources at national and organizational levels. We find that while most nanotechnology funding is nationally-oriented, internationalization and knowledge exchange does occur as researchers collaborate across borders. Our method offers a new approach not only in identifying the funding sources of publications but also in feasibly undertaking large-scale analyses across scientific fields, institutions and countries.

Judgemental Bible thumpers

#1 Mar 4, 2012
Recently a man and woman preached to WKU students about their immoral dress and behavior. Insulting students, judging students, even going as far to tell female students that they were going to hell for pursuing a career as opposed to a family. One girl left in tears after arguing with the woman. afterwards the woman insulted the girls wieght, saying that a good christian girl would not be obiese. Another boy tried to get the woman to read a passage, but was ignored because it was a part of the bible she was contradicting. I agree that freedom of speech should protect their right to preach to students, but disheartening and insulting students and their families, dreams, and style? Doesn't interfere with the students rights? What do you all think?
#2 Mar 4, 2012
I think before i let there opinion insult me i would have to value there opinion. I was not at this seminar, and if this did occur they need to read further in the Bible to were it says God is the almighty judge not the preachers there job is to get people closer to god not judge how one lives there life. if the sinner gets right with God he direct them into the kingdom. (MYOPINION)
#3 Mar 4, 2012
As a Christian, I am mortified and ashamed of preachers like this. This is not Christianity to me. I certainly hope and pray that people don't think we're all like this, because we certainly are not. I will be the first to admit I am a sinner and that I am no better than anyone else and that I love everyone, even though some are hard to ;-).

Doesn't sound very Christian-like to me. It's these types of "Christians" that, at times, make me not want to label myself as one. It's embarrassing.
#5 Mar 4, 2012
I left a church for this same reason. Holy than tho. Uneducated and illirate Preachers and if they only would stick to the Bible there would be no issues. But no. They haft to go behind your back and talk about you.

The great thing about religion is that you can twist it to suit your every need. What one might believe is right, turns out to be the opposite of another. It's really the ultimate tool of control..
#7 Mar 5, 2012
Religion is the opiate of the masses. But who cares? We all need a little disbelief.
#8 Mar 6, 2012
This type of people are what put me off of labeling myself a Christian. Now I just claim to be a believer simply put. I won't put that label on myself. It a negative thing now. Not a show a belief or a good person, but an illiterate, judgmental heretic.And I hate to say that, but that is the first thing people assume when you call yourself a Christian, and unfortunately its not far from true in most cases.
#9 Mar 6, 2012
I'm sorry that some Christians have hurt you. Honestly, the people that have hurt me the most were fellow Christians, but I think it's mighty unfair to generalize and condemn most because of a few bad ones. Sadly, the only time Christians receive national attention anymore is when a group does something ridiculous, such as those Westboro lunatics. Again, please don't condemn us all and I am sorry that others have hurt and/or offended you.
#10 Mar 6, 2012
I remember the crazy guy that used to go to WKU waaaaaay back in the 90's. I was walking to class one Friday morning when he was telling us all that we were hungover and ready to get drunk again that night. While it saddened me because i feared most would think all Christians behaved and had the same rationale, I couldn't help but stop and start cracking up laughing at his asinine comments. In a way, it was comical to watch this man make a fool of himself. I later found out this same man was assaulted after using a racist slur, and I remember feeling relieved that someone put him in his place and shut him up.
Since: Mar 12
#11 Mar 7, 2012
Id point and laugh.

These judgemental people need their heads thumped, emphasis on the "mental" part!!!
#13 Mar 16, 2012
Well a true Christian shouldn't judge. It is not up to man to judge anyone. Everyone has issues, even Christians. Those who judge need to look in the mirror. It is unfortunate, but people are people and even Christians don't always act like Christians. Again, unfortunate, but that is the way it is.

Engineered Large Spider Eggcase Silk Protein for Strong Artificial Fibers
A simple strategy is developed to produce large silk proteins in commercially available E. coli. The strategy is demonstrated for the production of a modified eggcase silk protein with a molecular weight of ∼378 kDa. Using a non-toxic water coagulation bath developed here, the recombinant protein is spun into artificial fibers that reach higher tenacity than its native counterpart. The strategy is generally applicable to synthesizing other types of large silk proteins with tandem repetitive domains.

In Race for the Galaxy and Roll for the Galaxy, players race to build galactic civilizations, represented by a tableau of cards or tiles, and to provide goods for their populace, earning VP chips. Race is card based; Roll is dice based.
In both games, the game end is triggered either by one player building a tableau of size 12 or more or by all players collectively depleting the initial pool of VP chips (adding more if needed). Player then total their VP chips, tableau VPs, and any bonus VPs to determine the winner.
In each round, players secretly and simultaneously choose a phase to occur, either by selecting
one of seven different action cards or by placing a die on a phase strip behind a screen. When all players have done so, phase selections are revealed. Only the selected phases occur, but all players perform the phases chosen (if possible).
The family listing covers each base game, Race for the Galaxy and Roll for the Galaxy, as well as their currently available expansions.
The first arc consists of three expansions which are designed to be added to the base game in order:
The second arc consists of a single expansion and is not compatible with the first arc expansions:
The third arc currently consists of a single expansion and is not compatible with the first or second arc expansions:
Race for the Galaxy: The Gathering Storm included blank cards which prompted a large number of fan designed cards, some of which formed the basis for cards in the official expansions. Some fan made expansions have also been made.

Recommended for grades 2 – 6
The Detroit Historical Society is pleased to offer educators the opportunity to guide students as they explore our exhibits, examine artifacts and uncover Detroit's history on their own. In self-guided experiences, teachers and chaperones work with small groups of students to facilitate activities provided by the museums.
Students become "history travelers" as they explore museum exhibits and answer questions using our 'Passport to Learning' booklet. Each student will receive a booklet with questions and activities that encourage interaction with the exhibits. Chaperones and teachers help them facilitate discussions, as well as provide passport "stamps" to mark completed activities.
'Passport to Learning' programs last approximately 90-minutes and are available at both the Detroit Historical Museum and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum.
