DIY'ers and contractors both appreciate this feature.
- Premium Acrylic: Luxury American Standard tubs all use premium acrylic for a reason: it retains a glossy finish, is flexible (will never chip, crack or craze), easy to clean, and far lighter (and easier to install) than cast iron. Premium Acrylic means that it is reinforced with a fiberglass composite for maximum strength.

OAKLAND -- Here in Oakland, Burning Man has already begun.
Although, the weeklong art festival, which offers a motley mix of experimental art, music and all of the above, does not begin until the week before Labor Day about 120 miles north of Reno, it is crunchtime for building Burning Man's art installations.
A crowd of 50,000 erects a temporary city on a dry lake called a playa in the Black Rock Desert around the sculptures, many of which are built in the East Bay.
Burners have been busy building. They say the East Oakland art space NIMBY feels like the playa.
Here, more than a dozen projects are headed to the desert including a giant brain, gay sheep, an octopus, a steampunk ship and an alien time machine.
"If you're just going to Burning Man, you're not really getting the whole experience," said Dan Fox, the artist behind the four-story-tall "Alien Siege Machine." "What they really miss, it's not really about the festival. They miss all this community."
Hundreds of people work on their giant sculptures and party buses on the weekends leading up to Burning Man. Over barbecue, they swap construction and fundraising tips. Most installations are on crowdsourcing sites and hold group fundraising events.
"The people are self-motivated doers, makers. They're alive," said Michael Snook, who runs NIMBY. "They're not sitting around waiting for something fun to happen. They're making it happen."
After helping build the well-known "Trojan Horse" in 2011 and "Anubis" the next year, Fox wanted to keep working on collaborative projects.
Months ago, he came up with the idea of the "Alien Siege Machine," a 45-foot-tall wooden structure, and gave it a narrative set in a computer-simulated world.
By the time it's done, more than 100 people will have helped build the alien time machine and performed in the alien's awakening ceremony on the playa.
The counterculture celebration revels in interactive and collaborative art.
"The Kraken," an octopus made of recycled wood, will be shot down with a flaming harpoon -- "Moby-Dick" style. Its creator, the East Bay Burners group, has done all its projects at NIMBY.
"We've all become friends," said Dylan Modell, project lead for "The Kraken." "This is the real Burning Man. This is Burning Man to me. I go to Burning Man to create art."
Apart from its tools and recycled resources, NIMBY has become a hub for Burning Man construction because of its learning environment. More experienced burners teach others how to build a successful installation, from welding skills to transportation logistics.
Snook said people usually just camp at Burning Man their first year and either hate it or love it. If they want more, they join a camp making art. NIMBY is known for welcoming sophomore burners with open arms.
"Just yesterday, I worked on one, two, three, five, six or seven projects," Modell said. "I would say this is a good place to come to expand your skill set, your horizons. You can just come here, be courageous and do anything."
The Phage Camp, made up of mostly scientists and engineers in hot-pink construction hats, finished building a giant, climbable, drivable brain-shaped jungle gym on top of a retrofitted school bus last weekend. "Dr. BrainLove" lights up, mimicking actual brain function, and can help teach science.
The team is setting up exhibits, such as "Ask a Drunk Scientist," in hopes of infusing Burning Man with more science among all the "crystals and magic" at the playa.
"There's this like-minded space that exists between science and art, and when trying to create within that space, something beautiful emerges," said Laura Ray, a member of the Phage Camp.
The steel structure is based on an MRI brain scan of a neuroscientist teammate.
After Burning Man, they want to take "Dr. BrainLove" on tour at science festivals and maybe put it on exhibit at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. (They're crossing their fingers.)
Three NIMBY art sculptures will be on display Saturday at Berkeley Spark, an art, tech and innovation festival that brings Burning Man to Berkeley. Local burners and Downtown Berkeley Association CEO John Caner started the event last year.
"It's not only for burners to get in the spirit of Burning Man but to share a taste of the festival with the broader community as well," Caner said. "The festival is a pre-Burning celebration."
The East Bay has a rich burner heritage, he said.
And when Burning Man leaves for the desert, Snook said, "Oakland will feel like a ghost town."
What: If you can't attend Burning Man, Berkeley Spark offers the same vibe, without the dust.
When: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday
Where: Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, 2151 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley
Info: Burning Man is Aug. 25 to Sept. 1 in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. For details, go to www.burningman.com

Louis Curtiss: Kansas City Architect - Keith Eggener
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 5, for Labor Day.
Missouri Valley Sundays
Sunday, December 2, 2012
2:00pm @ Central Library
Architectural historian Keith Eggener looks at the heritage of architect Louis Curtiss (1865-1924), often described as "the Frank Lloyd Wright of Kansas City" and a pioneer of the "curtain wall" design featured in his 1909 Boley Building at 11th and Walnut.
Featuring internal skeletons of steel or concrete and sheathed in lightweight glass, Curtiss' buildings paved the way for the modern skyscraper.
Eggener is a professor of American Art and Architecture and director of graduate studies at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Great result, as posted in "adam and eve it", but just thinking about the downside from the 2 goals conceded yesterday. I'm not trying to detract from that win but I only watched the highlights last night, although I was watching the game live on a stream but switched off once Manu scored. (Anyone who follows my comments will know why).
Back to the Manu goals....IMHO Walker was culpable for both goals, he didn't move up with the rest of the defence and played both Kagawa and the player who crossed for Nani's goal, on side.
Walker is a tremendous attacking full-bank and young enough to learn how to defend properly so I think he will be a terrific asset in time and I'm sure AVB will get into him about it in training.
Oh and yes welcome back KM!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

just watched the highlights again i can't help thinking that yesterday's game reminded me a bit of when old OZZY was in charge with the famous five attack and we used to score like 6 goals and leak 3
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Sep 30, 2012 12:25 Flag
I don't remember Walker specifically in that match (I was a bit dazed and confused by their second goal...), but I've definitely said that about him previously - IMO his lack of defensive play let in the goals which got us knocked out of Europa last season.
Which isn't intended to blame him per se, as you say he's still young yada yada yada and I do think that 1) he's improved shedloads over the last year, and also 2) the winger has a duty to support him as a 'new' player, he just needs to remember that his first responsibility as a full back is to defend. It must also be a tad confusing when he's learning his trade that managers want to use the speed of youth for attacking too; I don't remember having the same issue with BAE, but he's the only FB I can think of who's not had an issue with that when learning.
I'm not sure any of the above reads as actual sentences, I'm feeling the effects of yesterday's celebrations a bit...

Claudia Higgins joined Kaye Scholer following over two decades of distinguished service as an antitrust litigator with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). An antitrust partner in the firm's Complex Commercial Litigation department, Claudia represents Fortune 500 companies in significant antitrust matters, particularly high-profile mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, as well as private antitrust litigation and civil investigations by the FTC, the US Department of Justice (DOJ), and international regulatory agencies. Her experience in antitrust spans a diverse set of industries, including health care, consumer goods, defense and aerospace, natural resources and technology.
As a member of the Antitrust practice, Claudia has been continuously recognized as a leading attorney by Chambers USA, where in the 2015 edition, clients comment that she is "always available, always responsive and really appreciates the client relationship." In the 2013 publication, Chambers noted her highly influential work representing space robotics firm MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates before the DOJ's antitrust division in an investigation into its acquisition of Loral's satellite business. Furthermore, U.S. News-Best Lawyers 2013 ranked Kaye Scholer as "Tier 1" in antitrust law, with clients singling Claudia out for being "...particularly knowledgeable and helpful. She provides practical and insightful advice following her years of experience with the FTC." Claudia is also recognized as a "Life Science Star" in Euromoney's LMG Life Sciences Guide for 2014 as well as Best Lawyers in America 2016 and 2017 in the area of antitrust law. Most recently, she was selected by her peers and clients for inclusion in Benchmark Top 250 Women in Litigation.
During her practice on behalf of the FTC, Claudia served as lead counsel in charge of some of the FTC's most noteworthy merger transactions, particularly those establishing innovation theory in the context of pharmaceutical mergers, and she also led trial teams in several of the agency's successful federal court injunction matters that blocked pending transactions. At the FTC, Claudia last held the title of Assistant Director for Regional Litigation with responsibility for the Commission's regional office antitrust efforts throughout the US. The agency recognized her outstanding accomplishments with the FTC on numerous occasions, most notably honoring her with its Distinguished Service Award and its prestigious Paul Rand Dixon Award recognizing her leadership roles in merger enforcement.
Previously, Claudia served on the staff of the US Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs (now the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) where she worked on legislation related to Privacy and Regulatory Reform under Chairman Abraham Ribicoff (D-CT).
Claudia is a frequent author and speaker on antitrust and regulatory topics and participates regularly in conferences, programs and panels on issues of merger enforcement and trade regulation. Internationally, she has served as an instructor on behalf of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development in Paris and the US Agency for International Development and has advised competition authorities in Romania, Latvia, Korea, Japan, Brazil and numerous other countries. She has coordinated many investigations with the EU and its member nations.

On Tuesday, Eagle County Commissioners approved a 10-year contract to accept ash from a wood-burning biomass plant that's being built in Gypsum.
"It will only be about 2,000 to 3,000 tons of ash per year - about 5 percent of what we receive - and this is not going to have much effect on the way we do business," said Ken Whitehead, the county's director of solid waste and recycling.
Whitehead said the 10-year contract was needed for Eagle Valley Clean Energy LLC, the company building the plant, to secure bank financing. The contract has a six-month termination clause.
The biomass plant will operate on property that neighbors the American Gypsum plant to the east, just north of U.S. Highway 6. The plant is scheduled to go on line late this year. It will produce 11.5 megawatts of electricity per year by burning wood material. Ten megawatts will be sold to Holy Cross Energy through a 20-year sales agreement and the remaining 1.5 MW will power the plant itself.
Most of the wood fuel for the plant will be collected from forest lands surrounding Gypsum in a radius of about 75 miles. The Eagle County Landfill has also agreed to donate its wood waste to the plant, which is anticipated to save the landfill $15,000 to $20,000 a year in mulching costs. That contract is for five years with three five-year renewals.
Whitehead told commissioners the landfill will be paying for mulching again this year, however, since the biomass plant won't be operating in time to use it.
"I don't want to stockpile the wood waste this summer in anticipation of the plant," he said. "One match and we'll have the biggest bonfire you've ever seen."
West Range Reclamation of Hotchkiss will supply most of the biomass fuel to EVCE. U.S. Forest Service awarded a total of $13.4 million in stewardship contracts to two Colorado companies last November. West Range will receive $8.66 million through a 10-year contract with the USFS. The company will remove trees susceptible to insect and disease infestations from the White River National Forest. The Gypsum biomass plant will receive some of that material as fuel.
Ash from the plant will go to the landfill unless other uses are found for it.

We made more progress on the balloon tracking electronics this weekend. We tested out the Big Red Bee tracking transmitter and made an insulated, ruggedized package for it.
Fore the GPS-based tracker, we have settled on the Byonics Tiny Track 4 APRS system. Since many GPS units do not function above 60,000 feet elevation, we are going with the special "High Altitude Build" of the Inventek ISM300 GPS module.
This unit only comes as a tiny SMD module, so we are integrating the unit, a 25mm active-patch antenna, a MAX2323 driver IC, a backup battery, and assorted other bits into a custom circuit board. Here is the prototype so far:
The board is also almost reach to etch. I found a good Eagle Cad tutorial on making ground planes, and refined the design a bit:
The 2.0 version will probably be all SMD components, but this should get us going, as we have the through-hole versions of all of these parts on hand at the shop.

Lyons: Lawyer makes hall of shame list
Published: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 5:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 5:42 p.m.
Whenever I notice that The Florida Bar has released a batch of names of lawyers to be punished for falling short of their ethical requirements, I look for local names.
I'm happy to say that, much of the time, no locals make the list. It is usually full of attorneys from parts of Florida where lawyers must be more prone to practices such as accepting fees from clients and then doing nothing at all to earn the money.
There are so many such cases that they become boring to read about.
And so, I prefer the ones where lawyers are worse than just lazy and useless. One of my favorites in this latest hall of shame list — 29 of them this time — has a nonlocal lawyer, Joseph Andrew Caramadre. He's a Bar member in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as Florida. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit identity theft and mail fraud, and yet neglected to mention any of that to the Bar here in Florida, according to the public notice announcing his disgrace.
Tough to top, but at least Sarasota has a contender this time. He is Stetson law school grad Kenneth Doerr, who just got a four-month suspension.
It involved his handling of what Doerr said was a deceased client's secret desire: To donate to a charity that the man feared would harm his reputation if word got out.
The client, Doerr said, had told him he wanted to donate to a gay charity, but feared his family would find out he was gay. Doerr said he agreed to handle it, but, um, didn't get anything in writing to that effect.
It was an accountant at the same law firm — Abel Band Chartered — who noticed something seemed amiss back in 2008 and asked questions about a check for $33,136 and change. Doerr had instructed that check be written to himself from the man's estate after the client died.
When questioned, Doerr said he did that so he could donate the money to the charity himself and so disguise the withdrawal as a fee paid to Doerr for legal services.
Hmmm. Doerr has signed a form acknowledging that this was not a lawful way to do things. But, assuming his story is true, you could choose to see him as an admirable guy willing to risk his career by selflessly committing some light fraud for a client, even when the client was past the point of knowing about it.
On the other hand, Doerr botched it, at best. So much for confidentiality.
All in all, that one may not stack up to the more heinous cases that come of out of Miami and other legal ethics hot spots. But at least Sarasota made the list with a creative violation, and one that didn't involve flipping fraud.

The "Mo" in Motet stands for "more," and that's exactly what this Denver-based band delivers while keeping pace with developments in music and technology.
The Motet specializes in complex compositions written and arranged by bandleader and drummer Dave Watts, who founded the group 10 years ago. Today, his compositions feature techno and house rhythms layered into the jazz, Afrobeat, salsa, samba and funk roots from which the band's sound originated.
"Nobody sounds like us," said Watts, who indicated that the band's sound is geared toward "somewhere in between" foot-tapping and mosh pits. If the band were a dog, it would be a big-eared beagle, Watts said.
In its sixth release, "Dig Deep," The Motet offers a "a heavy-horned Afrobeat influence countered with a textural blanket of electronica." The bandleader is joined by Joe Porter on keyboard and Dominic Lalli on saxophone.
"Watts' dedication and artistic integrity have created an elusive musical entity which seems to be as much fun to play in as it is to go out and hear," wrote Dave Kirby of Boulder Magazine.
The band tours both East and West Coast circuits, and "consecrates the ground on which dance music meets free-form improvisation," promoters boast.
The Motet plays three20south in Breckenridge on Thursday. On sale now, tickets cost $12 in advance or $15/day of. Doors open at 9 p.m.

A Raceland man convicted in early April of aggravated rape and armed robbery was sentenced Monday to life plus 104 years in prison.
Jerry Cleveland, 18, had been convicted of the aggravated rape of a Raceland woman in 2012. He also robbed the victim at gunpoint, the Lafourche Parish District Attorney's Office said.
"We are obviously very pleased with the defendant's sentences," said District Attorney Cam Morvant. "With all three perpetrators of this crime now locked up for a long time, hopefully the victim and her family can move on from this ordeal with some sense of security and begin the healing process."
The life sentence Cleveland received for aggravated rape was the mandatory sentence provided by law. Cleveland was also sentenced to serve 99 years at hard labor on the armed robbery charge, which is the maximum sentence for that offense. Because a handgun was used in the robbery, Cleveland got another five years in prison. The two sentences were ordered to be served consecutively.
Assistant District Attorneys Annette Fontana and Steve Caillouet said the long prison sentences were justified.
"It's the only thing the court could do to protect the public welfare and the citizens of Lafourche," Fontana said.
Cleveland was accused of participating in the home invasion and rape of a woman in her home on St. Louis Street in Raceland. Three suspects broke into the victim's home on March 7, 2012, while she was alone with her 3-year-old child.
Co-defendant Darrel Thomas was previously sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty and agreeing to testify at trial against Cleveland. The third suspect, Devon Richard, received 35 years in prison, also after pleading guilty.
In March, Cleveland was also hit with two counts of second-degree battery, two counts of battery of a police officer, two counts of battery of a correctional facility employee, two counts of resisting an officer with force or violence, two counts of simple battery, simple assault and simple criminal damage to property.
This was after he allegedly attacked another inmate and guard in the Lafourche Parish jail.

ALAMEDA -- Raiders receiver Denarius Moore hadn't seen anything like it since his days as a youth in Tatum, Texas.
He worked his way to the back of the end zone, saw quarterback Terrelle Pryor rolling to his right, then could scarcely believe his eyes as Pryor gave him a nod indicating he wanted Moore to drift to his right.
The result was a 2-yard touchdown pass in a victory over the San Diego Chargers last week.
"Last time I did that was playing in my backyard," Moore said this week.
In his third year out of Tennessee, Moore might be on the verge of producing in the NFL as he did in his backyard. He has 15 receptions for 274 yards and two touchdowns in his past three games, the most productive three-game stretch of his career.
"It all comes back to just playing football, something we've done since we were 6 years old," Moore said.
When the Raiders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Moore will face one of the NFL's top secondaries, with three outstanding cornerbacks in Brandon Flowers, Sean Smith and Marcus Cooper.
"Seems like every game they're right there with the wide receivers, and they put themselves in the running game, too, coming up and making tackles," Moore said.
Toward that end, Raiders wide receivers and defensive backs were given boxing gloves urging them to win one-on-one battles this week with the following message taped to their locker:
"Will you fight on the line of scrimmage this week?"
Getting Moore to fight with a passion to match his ability has been something coaches have been working on since he arrived.
"He can be as good as he wants to be," former Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer said last season.
In late August, offensive coordinator Greg Olson, when talking about Moore's maturity, said he needed to be more of a self-starter, although he later said he was talking about the offense as a whole.
Moore has been the Raiders' best playmaking receiver since he set foot in training camp as a fifth-round draft pick. In 33 games and 29 starts, Moore has 104 receptions for 1,676 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Yet the M.O. for the player whom teammates call "D-Moe" has a propensity to be almost invisible for stretches, with the occasional dropped pass or blown route.
In his senior season at Tennessee, Moore was the only player among NCAA Division I programs to have two games with 200 yards receiving, yet he didn't reach 1,000 yards for the season.
In a league where 1,000-yard seasons by receivers are routine -- there were 20 in the NFL last season -- the Raiders haven't had one since Randy Moss had 1,005 in 2005.
Moore represents the best hope for the Raiders to break that spell, provided he avoids the dry spells.
At a position where bravado is commonplace and requests for the ball are routine, Moore is more introverted by nature.
Getting him to understand his ability and attack not only the ball but also the way he conducts his business has been a goal of the coaching staff.
"The big thing is just having the confidence to go out and play, and when the opportunities come your way, make the play when you have the opportunity," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "He's done a better job of that in the last three weeks. Hopefully he'll continue to grow."
McFadden and Rashad Jennings (hamstring) were listed on the injury report as questionable along with tackle Tony Pashos (groin), linebacker Kaluka Maiava (hamstring) and defensive tackle Stacy McGee (shoulder). Running back Marcel Reece (knee) is probable, while center Stefen Wisniewski (knee), tackle Menelik Watson (calf) and safety Tyvon Branch (ankle) are out.

At Youth Mass, Pope Francis Gets Rock-Star Treatment
What do you get when you mix thousands of young people from all over Asia and Pope Francis? A sort of Catholic Woodstock.
With the 77-year-old pontiff presiding over the closing Mass for Asian Youth Day, the soundtrack for Sunday's two-hour service at Haemi Fortress in western Korea was filled from beginning to end with the kind of drum fills, slap bass and synthesizer runs associated with an actual rock concert — or at the very least, an evangelical Protestant megachurch. There was even an electric guitar solo as Pope Francis led the congregants in Communion.
The mood was buoyant, helped by rain that left the fortress grounds damp and muddy, but which cleared just in time for the Pope's arrival. The 2,000-odd young Catholics from across the continent — many of them wearing bright teal rain ponchos over lime green polo shirts — waved national flags, chanted like soccer fans and accompanied the hymns and worship songs with coordinated hand motions.
Unlike the Pope's previous two Masses, few women covered their heads with veils and more than a few attendees had tattoos. When the big screens zoomed in on worshippers, many obliged with heart signs and goofy peace signs — even during the Holy Father's homily.
And the Pope, who drew laughter for his playfully forceful appeal for Asia's youth to "wake up," was treated to spontaneous bursts of "Francesco, we love you!"
Readings and prayers came in Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesian, Hindi, Japanese, Laotian and Korean, a reflection of the church's ambitions across a continent that has more people than any other, but relatively few Catholics.
Speaking to reporters just before the Mass, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi referenced the Pope's earlier remarks about opening dialogue with the Asian nations with which the Vatican has no diplomatic ties. While China is the obvious case here, Father Lombardi also ticked off North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Brunei and Bhutan as countries with which the Pope would like to build ties.
Underscoring that appeal, Bishop Peter Kang, who heads the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea, noted on stage after Communion that while Catholic World Youth Days are always attended by the pontiff, Francis' trip marked the first papal audience for an Asian Youth Day.
Worshippers from Indonesia, the site of the next Asian Youth Day, in 2017, were particularly energetic. Fernando Julius, a 24-year-old lifelong Catholic from Jakarta, said he got to shake Pope Francis' hand. He cried afterwards.
"It was unbelievable," he said. "Many people came to see him, but we were the lucky ones."
But what makes Francis different from an actual rock star?
For Mr. Julius, the answer was simple: Francis, in contrast even to the pope before him, is simple in his lifestyle, and "very close to the youth."
"I read about him a lot when he became pope, and he's very humble," he said. "Just look at his car."

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who considers himself a pretty fair pool player, TELLS THE STORY of how he lost to Barack Obama one day last week:
Mr. Hickenlooper said he was even thinking of slacking off on the theory it might not be a bad idea to let the president win.
�And then, literally before my eyes he ran like four balls,� the governor said.
Mr. Obama won. So they played another game. Double or nothing. $20 in the pot.
And Mr. Obama won again.
�I was playing as hard as I could possibly play,� Mr. Hickenlooper said.
And yet �
�I still had four balls on the table when he nailed the eight ball.�
�He was making long shots with a difficult angle. I didn�t know people in Hawaii played that much pool. Evidently they do.�
�The man is a shark.�

Fixing Europe (again)
13.09.2012 - Well ladies and gentlemen of the biotechnology community, welcome back after the silly season. I hope you had a nice one, whether it was in the sunny bit, the rainy bit or the bits that were on fire. As usual, summer in Europe was quiet. I see we still have a Eurozone, which is nice, and shows that the revolutionary, biotech-driven solution I came up with earlier in the year is still working.
But to business – what startling insights and wisdom can I provide from Brussels this month? Very little based on activity over the summer, so I shall instead turn once again to my crystal ball, and present a list of predictions based on my incurable optimism.
European public funding: after a year of wrestling with the Framework pro-gramme and Innovative Medicines Initiative, my gut tells me that the agencies will at last start planning their funding together, finally allowing partners to plan an annual calendar of collaborative project applications without having to worry about deadlines all landing in the space of a single month.
National funding: countries in Europe will suddenly remember, in the midst of reducing funding for innovation, that it is innovation that drives economic growth. If all your scientists are fired, particularly those in SMEs, you throttle economic progress, making earlystage research pointless and large company growth in your country impossible.
Policymakers: these will return from their holidays miraculously alive to the fact that some things are not worth arguing about any more – I refer of course to GM technology in food crops (just say yes or no), the EU patent law (just get it finished for crying out loud) and consumer genetic testing legisla-tion (don't let quacks and charlatans sell tests).
Big companies: my inner eye is particular focussed here, foreseeing that the pipeline crisis and continued shrinkage of R&D capacity will revolutionise the way that large companies work with others. There will be less of a 'business on our terms' approach to partnership and more quick movement, shared skills and earlier-stage partnerships.
Small companies: those rascals, they're taking up a lot of space in my crystal ball. Biotech SMEs will certainly start working more closely together, rather than trying to nurse a single technology through to blockbuster status. And they will start to understand the strength brought about by partnership with other SMEs – that they are stronger together than alone.
That's it for my post-summer predictions – and given my astounding success at curing the Eurozone crisis earlier this year, I'm sure they will all have come to pass by Christmas. See you next edition – by which time that holiday tan will have faded and the silly season will be a distant memory.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/people/heard-in-brussels/2012/fixing-europe-again.html

Just returned home from the Washington DC protest. Wow.
I have so much to say.
this is one of those moments that if I get the words rolling I don't know when or where I will stop.
let me just say this (for now):
We arrived in DC at 10:30 AM. Listened to speeches on the Mall. The crowd grew bigger and bigger until I couldn't see it end on either side of me.
We marched the streets in the freezing cold. FREEZING. We hooted, hollared, chanted, and Police were accepting of our presence. No violence. No outbreaks. Hundreds of thousands of people. While taking a break during the march I stood on the side of the street and spotted XXI (the webmaster of this site!!!) That was interesting. I also spotted a woman I worked with at Ben and Jerry's (Ben and Jerry's was also there in full force giving out free icecream and supporting the protest.) They should have hot chocolate or something, but I'm not complaining.
By the time the March reached the Naval Base it was time for us to find our buses and go home. Our buses got lost....so we waiting on the frigid, moon-lit street corner of M and New Jersey Ave for over and hour. To keep people entertained (and to keep their minds off of the digusting temperature)I grabbed random picket signs and freestyled about them. I ended up rocking some dude in the face with a huge banner...and I pricked my finger on a staple sticking out of one of the picket signs. This was the most violence any of us witnessed on this day. And it was because of me. Thank you. Thank you.
We eventually got picked up by our bus. The RI organizer came on our bus and made an announcement that "500,000 people attended this protest. We made history...and we may have a hand in stopping this war from happening." I thought to myself, "Damn...500,000 people?"
I wouldn't even know how to guage a figure like that upon looking at a group of people. I have a hard time telling the difference between 500 and 1000 people at a show. But I do know that this crowd of people went on for miles.
We arrived in Providence at 5 AM. Turned on CNN to see them report, "At least 10,000 showed up to protest at DC today in protest of the war."
Sorry, Charlie. That is some bullshit reporting. A serious downscale of what actually happened. And the fact that hundreds of thousands of people attended this protest due to their digust of our country's representation WHILE remaining peaceful the entire time should have gotten a little more resect than it did. Oh well. There's no place to move from here for us...no place pretty at least. The people have spoken. The people have banded together. The people have made their statement. We will not be ignored.
not by the govt.
not by the media.
our message and our demands will not be ignored.
what are you doing?

iit feels damn good to be active doesn't it?
the one in San francisco was a lot bigger than the last one, and Market St is so piddly to accomodate 200,000 people so the marching was slow as mollasses. Martin Sheen was up in the heezy though. He's got a history of civil disobedience but i admit that even though I am baffled by his Visa commercials, high profiile celebrities get media attentiion.
i'm gonna repost the pics i took

the protest was amazing. we got there at 7, walked around to find some food, got back to the mall around 9. my friends set up shop, as they are members of a socialist group (the workers international league), and i helped them pass out flyers, sell copies of their paper, etc etc. jesse jackson spoke, and did his "keep hope alive" speech, which was excellent, powerful, all of that. it was hard to hear, because there were a couple of drum circles going, but it was still nice. then we started to march, and i marched behind my friend's "no war but the class war" banner. i filmed a lot of the march, and i think the best part of it is how the different chants, songs, whatever all sort of flow into each other. personal favorites were "bush, you liar, we'll set your ass on fire!" and a long call-response type thing by a veteran who is anti war. ended up in front of the navy yard, got some food at dominos, and called my parents from 7-11 to tell them that i wasn't dead/arrested/maimed. they were happy to hear that.
i'm happy there were only two arrests (one for graffiti.. fuck that!)... one of the best things i saw was this guy trying to climb up on top of a building, where cops were, to take a picture. the cop told him to get down, so the guy took a picture of the cop, right in is face. send it to pulitzer goddammit! anyhow.. there must have been at least 200,000 people there. last time i checked (which was 3am after the bus got home), they thought 30,000, but the police weren't providing any official estimates.
next up is NYC on february 15th... i hope to see some of you there!

Message from Manic:
no voice left
it is still bouncing around
between the walls of the buildings
on new jersey avenue
no sound remains,
but a satisfied smile ripple
is perma-planted
got home at like 6:30am
we had 500 000 strong;
it doesn't matter how much
will be tallied
or underscored
or sullied or downplayed
half a million activist's
from all over the world to say
"i hate this, please don't.";
chance meetings, understanding,
connection of like organizations
that never heard of one
another, singing, dancing, crying,
screaming, & no violence.
whether you accept it or not,
yesterday was a victory.
ripples uncountable are
headed for shore...
ps- slam at as220 this thursday.
*please email me if any of you want off my list!

Thought this might be appropriate
This is about Sept 11 . . . but I still thought you all would like to read it.
Brace urselves its really long........................................ but well worth it.
self evident
us people are just poems
we're 90% metaphor
with a leanness of meaning
approaching hyper-distillation
and once upon a time
we were moonshine
rushing down the throat of a giraffe
yes, rushing down the long hallway
despite what the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the long stairs
with the whiskey of eternity
fermented and distilled
to eighteen minutes
burning down our throats
down the hall
down the stairs
in a building so tall
that it will always be there
yes, it's part of a pair
there on the bow of noah's ark
the most prestigious couple
just kickin back parked
against a perfectly blue sky
on a morning beatific
in its indian summer breeze
on the day that america
fell to its knees
after strutting around for a century
without saying thank you
or please
and the shock was subsonic
and the smoke was deafening
between the setup and the punch line
cuz we were all on time for work that day
we all boarded that plane for to fly
and then while the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the windowsill
and then we all held hands
and jumped into the sky
and every borough looked up when it heard the first blast
and then every dumb action movie was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and motorcar
looked more like war than anything i've seen so far
so far
so far
so fierce and ingenious
a poetic specter so far gone
that every jackass newscaster was struck dumb and stumbling
over 'oh my god' and 'this is unbelievable' and on and on
and i'll tell you what, while we're at it
you can keep the pentagon
keep the propaganda
keep each and every tv
that's been trying to convince me
to participate
in some prep school punk's plan to perpetuate retribution
perpetuate retribution
even as the blue toxic smoke of our lesson in retribution
is still hanging in the air
and there's ash on our shoes
and there's ash in our hair
and there's a fine silt on every mantle
from hell's kitchen to brooklyn
and the streets are full of stories
sudden twists and near misses
and soon every open bar is crammed to the rafters
with tales of narrowly averted disasters
and the whiskey is flowin
like never before
as all over the country
folks just shake their heads
and pour
so here's a toast to all the folks who live in palestine
el salvador
here's a toast to the folks living on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone cold gaze of mt. rushmore
here's a toast to all those nurses and doctors
who daily provide women with a choice
who stand down a threat the size of oklahoma city
just to listen to a young woman's voice
here's a toast to all the folks on death row right now
awaiting the executioner's guillotine
who are shackled there with dread and can only escape into their heads
to find peace in the form of a dream
cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever
[b]and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me
cuz i am a poem heeding hyper-distillation
i've got no room for a lie so verbose
i'm looking out over my whole human family
and i'm raising my glass in a toast
here's to our last drink of fossil fuels
let us vow to get off of this sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter planes
and find that train ticket we lost
cuz once upon a time the line followed the river
and peeked into all the backyards
and the laundry was waving
the graffiti was teasing us
from brick walls and bridges
we were rolling over ridges
through valleys
under stars
i dream of touring like duke ellington
in my own railroad car
i dream of waiting on the tall blonde wooden benches
in a grand station aglow with grace
and then standing out on the platform
and feeling the air on my face
give back the night its distant whistle
give the darkness back its soul
give the big oil companies the finger finally
and relearn how to rock-n-roll
yes, the lessons are all around us and a change is waiting there
so it's time to pick through the rubble, clean the streets
and clear the air
get our government to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone else's desert
put it back in its pants
and quit the hypocritical chants of
freedom forever
cuz when one lone phone rang
in two thousand and one
at ten after nine
on nine one one
which is the number we all called
when that lone phone rang right off the wall
right off our desk and down the long hall
down the long stairs
in a building so tall
that the whole world turned
just to watch it fall
and while we're at it
remember the first time around?
the bomb?
the ryder truck?
the parking garage?
the princess that didn't even feel the pea?
remember joking around in our apartment on avenue D?
can you imagine how many paper coffee cups would have to change their design
following a fantastical reversal of the new york skyline?!
it was a joke, of course
it was a joke
at the time
and that was just a few years ago
so let the record show
that the FBI was all over that case
that the plot was obvious and in everybody's face
and scoping that scene
the CIA
or is it KGB?
committing countless crimes against humanity
with this kind of eventuality
as its excuse
for abuse after expensive abuse
and it didn't have a clue
look, another window to see through
way up here
on the 104th floor
another key
another door
10% literal
90% metaphor
3000 some poems disguised as people
on an almost too perfect day
should be more than pawns
in some asshole's passion play
so now it's your job
and it's my job
to make it that way
to make sure they didn't die in vain
baby listen
hear the train?

here's an eamil I recieved just one minute ago from a man I know and bumped into during the protest yesterday:
Did you see how the NYTimes (and god knows who else)
reported that "tens of thousands of people" came out
yesterday. I heard that it was estimated at half a
million (which MAY be high but is still drastically
different from "tens of thousands"). This really
pisses me off because they misrepresented the last
MARCH (Oct. 26th) the same way. and then had to issue
a correction.
Anyway, it was cool to bump into you there. Thanks for
the sign. With so many forces working against us, we
need to all do our parts to keep the scale of US
antiwar sentiment visible. tell a friend.

this article says the organizers estimated it at 200,000 but CNN still leads off the very same article saying tens of thousands without saying where that figure came from.

I couldn't make it to DC, but I was filled with such hope to see the thousands and thousands of people that turned out. I was trying to estimate myself how many people were there since during my entire viewing not once did I hear a report on an actual count. The media should really show aereal views of these things...would be so much truer to what it was actually like there than the small span of a camera on the ground watching the march go past.
500,000 people....incredible.
I was in Central Park, ny on October 26 and before we left someone had announced that we were close to 80,000 people strong. When we came home, Fox said 20,000, i think CNN said 50,000, and all the other news spots were such small bits they're not even worth mentioning. It was disheartening that the numbers were dwarfed, but the important thing is that the people that were there knew the truth, and thousands of connections were made between people and organizations, links and messages that people could take home with them to continue the protesting long after the protest was over. For me, just the enormous amount of people from every race, age, and walk of life did so much to make me actually try to spread the message despite the deaf ears it had fallen on in the past.
This kinda pissed me off, but their stupidity was kinda funny too. On CNN they showed a small crowd of anti-protest people along side the march that were yelling "how much did Sadaim pay you?" one asshole was on a bullhorn chanting "swim to cuba" what the fuck is that suppossed to mean??
inhaler/the cat, what's the info for Feb 15th? I'll be there...

there were cameras taking aerial shots.
but all i have seen on tv is ground shots of a few people walking by with their signs.
I really can not have this. It's a bit too much for me to digest right now.

**Visit the Official Ray Charles Web Site** - to read more about his bio, music, legacy, and to view photo gallery.
Ray Charles
Ray Charles Robinson was born in Albany, Georgia on September 23, 1930. He was the son of Aretha Williams, a share cropper, and Bailey Robinson, a railroad repair man, mechanic and handyman. The two were never married. The family moved to Greenville, Florida, when Ray was an infant. Bailey had three more families, leaving Aretha to raise the family on her own. Ray had a brother named George Robinson who drowned before Ray lost his sight.
Ray Charles was not born blind. He became totally blind by the age of seven. Charles never knew exactly why he lost his sight, though there are sources that suggest his blindness was due to glaucoma, and some other sources suggest that Ray began to lose his sight from an infection caused by soapy water to his eyes which was left untreated. He attended school at the St. Augustine School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine, Florida. He also learned how to write music and play various musical instruments. While he was there, his mother died followed by his father two years later.
Early Career
Before he left school, Charles began working as a musician in many bands that played in various styles, including jazz and, in Tampa "with a hillbilly band called The Florida Playboys." This is where Charles began his reputation of always wearing sunglasses that were made by designer Billy Stickles.
Charles moved to Seattle in 1947. He soon started recording, first for the label Swingtime Records, achieving his first hit with "Confession Blues", recorded in 1949. The song hit #2 on the R&B charts. He followed his first recording with his only other hit with Swingtime, "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand" in 1951. It hit #5 on the R&B charts. He then signed with Ahmet Ertegün at Atlantic Records a year later. When he entered show business, his name was shortened to Ray Charles to avoid confusion with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.
Later Years
Final Appearances
Personal Life
Charles was married twice and fathered 12 children by 10 different women. His first marriage to Eileen Williams was brief: July 31, 1951 to 1952. He has three children from his second marriage to Della Beatrice Howard Robinson from April 5, 1955 to 1977. His long term girlfriend and partner at the time of his death was Norma Pinella.
Ray Charles died on June 10, 2004 of liver cancer at his home in Beverly Hills, California, surrounded by family and friends. His body was interred in the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.
Charles gave each of his 12 children $1,000,000 tax free in 2004, just before he died.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the ribosome.
Proteins conjugated with ribonucleic acid (RNA). Ribonucleoprotein are involved in a wide range of cellular processes. Besides ribosomes, in eukaryotic cells both initial RNA transcripts in the nucleus (hnRNA) and cytoplasmic mRNAs exist as complexes with specific sets of proteins. Processing (splicing) of the former is carried out by small nuclear RNPs (snRNPs). Other examples are the signal recognition particle responsible for targetting proteins to endoplasmic reticulum and a complex involved in termination of transcription.
Protein of the ribosome, large ribonucleoprotein particles where the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein occurs. They are both free in the cytoplasm and attached to membranes of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Ribosomes are also present in all plastids and mitochondria, where they translate organelle-encoded mRNA.
Protein which is part of a reference proteome. Reference proteomes are a subset of proteomes that have been selected either manually or algorithmically according to a number of criteria to provide a broad coverage of the tree of life and a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity found within UniProtKB, as well as the proteomes of well-studied model organisms and other species of interest for biomedical research.
