Business Issue
Hospital IT organizations are challenged with managing and securing diverse hardware and software systems. Further complicating matters, some equipment manufacturers devise unique security solutions, often the result of designing purpose-built solutions based on non-standard or proprietary components. Consequently, determining whether equipment complies with the security policies of the purchasing hospital can be difficult, and it may be more challenging to capitalize on the latest security advancements developed to secure IT infrastructure built with standards-based computing technology.
Organizations are also tasked with reaching consensus on security policy, which can be a challenge due to the conflicting viewpoints and goals of key stakeholders. Security officers tend to advocate locking down systems to better protect the network, while IT managers gravitate toward opening up the network to deliver the best end user experience. Some common ground may be found with a layered security model implemented on standards-based platforms to improve device security and lower hospital IT requirements.

On this page you will find background information about the software we have available for download. This information includes the public key we use to sign our software, access to the complete archive and information for software developers who use our toolkits about our open software revision system. We manage several different open-source software packages and you can download either source code or pre-built binaries from here. Some of these packages have their own pages that you can access using the links at the right; for others use the 'All Software' link. Package that have their own pages are:
Note that we also maintain a list of Software developed by other groups that can read from OPeNDAP servers and that there are several other groups that make servers besides us.
OPeNDAP's Public Key is available here. We now (November 2007) sign all of our software releases using gpg and a key created just for this purpose. The public key is bound to the email address security at opendap.org. The address is 'real' in the sense that email sent there will be answered, although we ask that support questions be sent to the support at opendap.org address instead. To verify a particular software package using its digital signature:
The result should be a message telling you that the signature is valid, who signed it and when it was signed. If you don't get a message saying the signature is valid, double check that you have installed the public key correctly, have the file and its signature in the same directory and have not renamed the file (or signature). If, after that, you're still not getting a message that the signature is valid, please contact us.
The HTTP archive holds just about every piece of software we have ever released. Each release is held in a separate directory. Beta and final versions for each release are within those directories. Below are shortcuts to specific parts of the archive for people that want all of the source code without navigating through the pages specific to each of the clients, servers, et cetera.
We run a suite of builds every night. Each nightly build is created using code checked out from SVN. Mostly we use the nightly build process on our current release, although some other software, such as the current development code, is also built. You can see the status of the most recent nightly build, although we do not run nightly builds on all of our platforms.
Another way to get source code is to use anonymous access to our SVN repository. In Spring of 2005 we switched from CVS to SVN. Our CVS repository required a login for read access as well as write access. Our SVN repository provides public read-only access without a password or login. You'll need an account for write-enabled access; email webmaster at opendap.org for more information. There are several ways that you can get software using svn.
There are many projects in our subversion repository, here are some:

This is the Virgin with Child in the apse. Its called the Theotokos mosaic, and dates from the second halve of the 9th century. Theotokos: "God-bearer". Enc. Britt.:in Eastern Orthodoxy, the designation of the Virgin Mary as mother of God. The term has had great historical importance because the Nestorians, who stressed the independence of the divine and human natures in Christ, opposed its use, on the ground that it compromised the human nature of Christ, and held that the more accurate and proper term for Mary was Christotokos ("Christ-Bearer"). The Council of Ephesus (431), basing its arguments on the unity of the person of Christ, anathematized all who denied that Christ was truly divine, and asserted that Mary was truly the mother of God.)

SEBRING - After we count down to the New Year and warble Auld Lang Syne, what's next?
Can 2014 top the excitement of 2013, which featured the return of Twinkies and the controversial twerking and wrecking-ball-riding sensation Miley Cyrus?
There will likely be a few surprises along the way next year, but at this point what can we look forward to in 2014 in the technology, entertainment and sports worlds? What are the important dates that we should mark on our calendars? What are some Highlands County residents excited about for the New Year?
At the global level, the 2014 Olympic Winter Games will be held Feb. 7-23 in the city of Sochi in the Russian Federation. Women's ski jumping will be one of the new events along with figure skating team event and luge team relay.
A big music-related anniversary is around the corner in 2014.
The English band that sang "Do You Want to Know a Secret" was a secret no longer in 1964 when they conquered America starting the "British invasion" of pop music. Many 50th anniversary events are slated for 2014 to mark the Beatles' musical and cultural revolution.
The Grammy Awards move up a couple weeks next year to Jan. 21 where a Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded to the group (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are the surviving members).
Super Bowl XLVIII will be held Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium, N.J., and aside from the game and commercials, it could be interesting to watch if there's a snow storm.
This big game has a comprehensive weather preparedness plan with the host committee touting that "the people of New York and New Jersey are proud to host the first outdoor, cold weather Super Bowl.
According to the plan, "In the seating areas, a fine-tuned system of snow chutes can direct snow to designated areas where it will then be loaded into Aero snow melters that can melt up to 150 tons of snow per hour.
There is no word if halftime performer Bruno Mars will be ready with a snowsuit or mittens in the event of a blizzard.
Closer to home, the 62nd annual 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race runs March 15 featuring the debut of the United SportsCar Racing series at Sebring International Raceway.
New technology
As automobiles continue to pack more and more technology, Inc.com reports that in 2014 display technology - touchscreen tablets built into your car - will improve dramatically.
"There's already a good example of this with the Tesla Model S and its massive 17-inch tablet-like display that supports finger swipes and pinch-to-zoom functionality," Inc.com notes. "Many cars have a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen today. Maybe soon we'll see the first production car that has an iPad running in the dash."
Forbes reports that 2014 is the year to keep an eye out for the Google watch. Rather than having to pull out your smartphone or tablet for frequent email, text and social media updates, you'll glance at your watch.
Rumor has it the device will integrate with Google Now, which aims to seamlessly provide relevant information when and where you want it (and before you'd asked for it), according to Forbes. Smart watches will become even smarter, learning what news and updates are important to us, when we want to receive them and responding more accurately to voice controls.
The Cleveland Clinic calls an early-stage bionic eye one of the top 10 medical innovations for 2014. After two decades of development and testing and more than $200 million in funding, the Food and Drug Administration approved a retinal prosthesis system for severe retinitis pigmentosa in 2013 that combined a surgically implanted 60-electrode retinal prosthesis, video-camera-enabled glasses, and a video processing unit worn at the waist or carried.
Personal anticipation
Erica Alvarez, 12, who is a fifth-grader at Lake Placid Elementary is looking forward to being on her school's Lighthouse Team (student council).
She is also keeping an eye out for the new Monster High television special "Frights, Camera, Action!" which is based on the ghoulish but fashionable Monster High dolls such as Clawdia Wolf, Elissabat, Honey Swamp and Viperine Gorgon. The special is slated for a spring 2014 release date.
Retired teacher Alan Kent is looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren.
Next month he and his wife will start planning for their annual vacations, which usually entail a week at a Florida beach and a week in the mountains in north Georgia or North Carolina.
He will be watching the Winter Olympics on television, in particular the figure skating and curling.
When informed that women's ski jumping will be a new addition, Kent said, "Really, oh my, I will have to watch some of that,"
Vanessa Ward, who during the holidays was visiting her parents and grandparents in Highlands County, recently graduated from the University of Louisville in Kentucky. She is looking forward to starting her career in nursing next year.
She will likely work at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ward said.
On the lighter side, she is anticipating the movie "Finding Dory," which will be a sequel to "Finding Nemo."
But, Ward won't be finding Dory in 2014 as it's on track for a fall 2015 release.
Loretta Oliveros, of Lake Placid, said she is excited about her sixth grandchild coming in July or early August.
For herself, Oliveros hopes she will have a healthy 2014.
Movies and music
There's no forthcoming Batman or Superman movie in 2014, but production will start on a film teaming the two Justice League superheros.
But in lieu of the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader, there will be some muscle and power on the big screen in 2014 with two Hercules flicks.
"The Legend of Hercules" is scheduled for a Jan. 10 release, while "Hercules: The Thracian Wars," with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the mythical muscleman, is set for a July 25 date.
For another big blast from the past, volcanically speaking, the film "Pompeii" is set to erupt on Feb. 21. The mounting threat to Pompeii of the erupting Mount Vesuvius serves as the backdrop for a love story, which apparently our history books omitted.
According to the IMDB.com plot summary for the movie, "A slave turned gladiator finds himself in a race against time to save his true love, who has been betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator."
On the music front, albums are expected from Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Lopez and Duran Duran.
Plus there is anticipation that after selling more than 26 million copies worldwide of her sophomore album "21," which was released in February 2011 in the U.S., British singer Adele will finally release her follow-up album in 2014.
So as we say goodbye to 2013, there's plenty to look forward to in 2014.

Bungie Expects Upwards of 3 Million Players for Halo: Reach Beta
The Halo creators hope to make Reach the biggest multiplayer beta ever on consoles.
Bungie expects quite the turnout for the Halo: Reach public beta when it kicks off next month. Speaking with the Seattle Times, community director Brian Jarrard and multiplayer design lead Chris Carney discussed the goals of the beta, what's new for this Halo, and how they think more than 3 million players could show up for an early taste of Reach.
"My expectation is it could be upwards of 3 million people. I think that's a fairly conservative estimate," Jarrard told the Seattle Times. "Certainly there will never be a console beta of this magnitude."
While the Bungie guys admitted that the beta will mainly serve to stress test the game's multiplayer back end, they also wouldn't rule out a few last-minute tweaks as a result of public testing. "The Halo 3 beta is a great example of a particular weapon being in the game that immediately became very obvious that it was just way too powerful and didn't fit into the balanced, nuance of our sandbox, so the design team was able to react to that," explained Jarrard, continuing, "By the time the game shipped... it wasn't the 'weapon of the gods' that it was during the beta."
Keep an eye out for the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta starting Monday, May 3 -- assuming you still have your copy of Halo 3: ODST, that is. And be sure to check out our extensive preview of Halo: Reach for a primer on what to expect from Bungie's latest (and last?) Halo game.

Persona 4 Arena
Games include game, cover art, and case. Game data from previous use may be present, but can be overwritten or deleted. Bonus downloadable or promotional content may have already been redeemed. Cleaning and repair was done as required.
Release Date: August 07, 2012
Product ID: 3094101
Genre: Fighting

Atlus' long-running series about demon-battling high-school teenagers abandons the realm of role-playing in favor of classic 2D fighting in Persona 4 Arena. Set two months after the events of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, players find themselves entering the "P-1 Grand Prix" fighting tournament in order to learn why the character Teddie is suddenly hosting a TV show. There are more than a dozen fighters culled from Persona 3 and Persona 4 (not including their persona alter egos), each offering unique heavy, light, and persona attacks, as well as persona rushes. Combat places a special emphasis on fast-paced combo attacks and defense, and gamers are encouraged to liberally switch back and forth between their character and his or her persona, though personae that take too much damage become temporarily unavailable. A number of gauges frame the cel-shaded, anime-inspired action, including: the "Life Gauge"; the "SP Gauge," which allows player to perform special attacks and even one-hit kills; and the "Burst Gauge," which can be used to send opponents sprawling backward. Persona 4 Arena also includes an online mode, as well as a unique story mode for each character.

Psychic Hygiene For The Holidays
Do you tend to feel anxious, nervous and impatient during the holiday season? Are family functions and the mall enough to drive you mad? Do you find yourself leaving events early, or worse, not going at all because of they just feel overwhelming?
If this sounds at all familiar to you, chances are you are picking up on the energy of the season and may benefit from some additional psychic protection at this time.
The holidays are a stressful time of year for anyone, but for sensitive people it can be even worse. Emotions run rampant and there is a heightened sense of worry and fear around money and ideas of lack. For the sensitive person this is just a recipe for confusion, as you pick up on the energy and emotions of others and become overwhelmed, unable to distinguish what is yours, and what isn't.
Stress is the trash of modern life — we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life. ~ Terri Guillemets
But this holiday season can be different – dramatically different if you follow these five quick tips to improve your psychic and emotional boundaries:
1. Before going out ask Archangel Michael to put a filter of golden light around you. This will allow you to still feel the energy around you, but not take it on. This differs slightly from the popular 'bubble of white light' method, as it allows clairsentient people (sensitives who get their psychic information through their feelings) to still be aware of the energy around them. I have found that many of my clients prefer this golden light protection method, because they still feel like they can connect to the world and less like they are insulated in a bubble.
2. If you are in a crowd or at a family gathering or party and are beginning to feel overwhelmed, excuse yourself and go to the restroom. Once there, run the water. Water is closely related to the emotional body and by allowing the water to run you are allowing your emotional body to release and flow. While you are doing this take deep belly breaths and call on Archangel Michael to re-energize the golden filter around you.
3. Call on Archangel Gabriel to assist with any difficult communication, especially around long held beliefs and roles in family situations. She will assist you in speaking and receiving with love.
4. When you feel triggered and irritable be sure to ask if the energy or emotion is yours. If it is not, ask who it belongs to and then send it back to them with love and consciousness attached. This will help them process their own 'stuff' with grace and ease and you will feel much lighter as well.
5. Discharge your energy every night. Before going to bed, run the water again and visualize all the energy and interactions from the day draining from your energetic and emotional bodies. Alternately you can ask Archangel Michael to vacuum your energetic and emotional bodies as you fall asleep each night. If the day has been particularly challenging ask to be taken to a healing temple in your sleep, so that you can wake in the morning refreshed and ready to go.
With these simple tips you will effortlessly improve your psychic and emotional boundaries and shift your experience of the holidays. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Netflix: The Fast and the Furious
In negotiations with broadband providers Netflix is angling for a new ally: consumers.
On Monday, it announced the "Netflix ISP Speed Index," which ranks Internet service providers on the quality of their online viewing experience. Netflix had compiled similar data before, releasing some on its blog. Why the push for greater visibility? Netflix wants consumers to help it pressure ISPs to join its content delivery system, Open Connect. This allows subscribers to stream 3-D content and high-definition video. Broadband providers Google Fiber, Cablevision and Suddenlink have signed on. These three also top Netflix's U.S. Speed Index.
But some providers have resisted. High-definition streaming competes with cable operators' own video offering. And Netflix already has a reputation as a bandwidth hog. It accounts for about 33% of traffic during peak hours, according to Sandvine, fueling the threat that ISPs will push back with usage-based pricing.
But ISPs also arguably need Netflix: It is a reason that many consumers buy their services in the first place.

I would suggest you do research on firewalls, what they are, what they do
and what they do not do. Your question suggest a lack of understanding of
what security is and what it takes to get a secure system. Unless you do
some studying, you will probably never have a secure system no matter what
firewall you put in.

Market overview: M&S providing a drag
Fri, 7 Dec 2012, 08:59:00
The FTSE 100 is down three points at 5,898 as it continues to tiptoe around the 5,900 level. M&S is pulling back after a strong rise on Thursday. Market rumours yesterday linked retail tycoon Sir Philip Green to a possible bid for the High Street giant, eight years after his nine-billion-pound offer for the group failed. The speculation followed Green's sale of a 25 per cent stake in Top Shop last week. However an Arcadia spokesperson denied such speculation yesterday when questioned by Sharecast.
The FTSE 100 opened broadly flat this morning, up just seven points at 5,908, with investors showing caution ahead of the US employment report. Meanwhile, stocks were also dampened by the Bundesbank cutting German growth forecasts for next year from 1.6 per cent (estimated in June) to just 0.4 per cent.

2003 Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso
(Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri)
Deep dark fruit, plumbs and leather on the nose with strong ceder. Lots of character in this wine. Deep purple color hinting toward brownish. The palate is powerful at the start with chocolate, blackberries, cloves and dark leather. It's a dark feeling wine with earthy dirt tastes and black tobacco. Lots of spices and tannins. The finish has burnt caramel and strong tannins on the sides of the tong and the lingering aftertaste is a touch bitter with cigar tobacco. This is a deep dark super Tuscan and if yo like that this wine is really good for 25 bucks. This is a 2003 and this wine is going to age beautifully. This is a definite try if you like the bold Italian reds.

Nick Verreos' Blog
Welcome Back, "Project Runway"!!!!
Last month, I traveled to Europe to do a speaking engagement in Florence, Italy. Florence, Italy! Hello! Upon my return, I reflected on how humbled and lucky I have been and, particularly, how good "Project Runway" has been to me. I probably would not have been flown to Europe and been asked to speak if I were just "Nick Verreos, fashion designer and instructor." I'm thinking being a "Project Runway" alumnus may have had something to do with it!
Just as the lovely memories of Limoncello and the Uffizi Gallery began to fade from my memory, I got a fun call: The "digital gods" at myLifetime.com asked if I could blog season 6 of "Project Runway." Well, of course, I jumped for "Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn joy"! I have continually followed "Project Runway" (of course!), and back in Season 3, I wrote the show's recaps for People.com and have also detailed every season on my own lovely nickverreos.com blog. But I am thrilled to be part of the Lifetime family and share my thoughts on the new season!
As most of you know, I was on the second season of "Project Runway," which filmed over four years ago (I know, it seems like yesterday!). Since appearing on the show, besides continuing to design my line, NIKOLAKI, and teaching at my alma mater, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising/FIDM, I've also had an unexpected turn in my career, and it involves being back on camera — covering award-show fashions for the TV Guide Network, E! and others. One of my proudest accomplishments came last year, when I starred in the Sears holiday ad campaign — along with Vanessa Hudgens ("High School Musical"), Ty Pennington ("Extreme Home Makeover") and LL Cool J. Finally, I recently finished shooting a pilot for another network and I'm feverishly working on my upcoming Spring 2010 line. (Check out this photo below to see one of my previous designs being worn by Lisa, one of the "Models of the Runway" competitors this season.) In case you were wondering, yep, I don't sleep!
But back to "Runway" … I am so excited for the return of the show and I — along with millions of fans — can't wait for this new season. Everywhere I go, people ask me, "When is 'Project Runway' coming back?" Well, kids, the wait is over! I can't wait for Tim Gunn to put his clenched fist to his jaw as he surveys the new designers' creations and state "I'm very DUBIOUS about this design." I am dying to see what Miss Heidi will wear (we want to see LEGS!!!) and if judge — and Marie Claire Fashion Director — Nina Garcia will bring back that signature look of hers, the one that says, "Something doesn't smell right" as she looks at the finished designs. Of course, I will also be counting on Michael Kors for his stinging bitchy, yet funny remarks. Most of all, I am looking forward to the new batch of "Project Runway" designers — some of whom I have met (more on that later, kiddies!). Here's my message to them: Make Uncle Nicky — and the rest of America — proud!

- The Carolina Hurricanes wanted to establish themselves as a tough team to play against at home, and they did so tonight, downing the Atlantic Division-leading Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1. Jiri Tlusty potted two goals, his fourth two-goal effort in his last nine games, and Cam Ward, who was "celebrating" a leap-year birthday, made 26 saves. Head coach Kirk Muller said it was the most complete effort the team had put forth at home this season. "The guys were focused and ready to go," he said. "You could see it this morning, the energy of knowing we had some guys back."
- The Canes had a glut of injured players reinsert themselves into the lineup, as Jeff Skinner, Tim Gleason, Tim Brent and Jamie McBain dressed, and all contributed in some way. Skinner scored a goal (his eighth of the season), Gleason recorded an assist (his third of the season), Brent logged 3:35 of power play time as the quarterback on the first unit and Jamie McBain played 18:32, evening out the ice time among the six defensemen. "They all wanted to play, and they all did a great job jumping in and contributing," Muller said. "That's how you build a team with that kind of character."
- This was the first time Jordan Staal faced the team he played 431 games with over six seasons, and it was clear the Hurricanes – after dropping Alexander Semin's homecoming on Tuesday – wanted to win this one for Staal. Though he didn't record a point, Staal was a plus-one and logged 21:27 of ice time.
- In what he called his best game at home this season, Ward stopped 26 of the 27 shots he faced in the Canes' win. Five-for-five on the penalty kill tonight, the Hurricanes have killed off 22 of their last 23 penalties. Ward was quick to credit the group in front of him. "For the most part, we contained their high-skilled players," he said. "Blocking a lot of shots and not giving them anything."
- Despite falling 3-0 in Washington on Tuesday, Ward was a bright spot, making 37 saves. He carried that play seamlessly into tonight. "We got him some goals tonight," Muller said. "He's focused right now. When he plays like that, he's up there with the elite goalies. He was competing tonight. I liked how he was mentally prepared."
- The Hurricanes continue to thrive in the second period at home. With three goals in the middle frame tonight, the Canes have outscored opponents 13-4 at home and 23-13 overall in the second period.
- Muller is not one to shy away from a symbolic opening lineup; he started Ryan Murphy in his first NHL game, he started Kevin Westgarth in his 100th career game and he started Semin in Washington on Tuesday. So, Muller threw Jordan Staal's line out to start, which set the stage for Staal and Brandon Sutter to take the opening faceoff. Staal won the draw. "It was his game tonight," Muller said. "He was definitely going to start no matter who it was"
- The Hurricanes have two straight divisional match-ups ahead, as they face Florida in a home-and-home, back-to-back over the weekend. "This is a big week for us," Eric Staal said. "The division is tightening up. We want to stay ahead and get ahead of the group."
Recap (AP)
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Jiri Tlusty had two goals and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat Pittsburgh 4-1 on Thursday night in ex-Penguin Jordan Staal's first game against his former team.
Eric Staal had a goal and two assists, Alexander Semin added two assists and Jeff Skinner scored a goal in his first game back from a concussion.
The Southeast Division co-leaders erased an early 1-0 deficit by scoring three goals in a span of 6 minutes, 14 seconds and won for just the second time in six games.
Chris Kunitz scored for the Penguins, who entered leading the Atlantic Division but were held without a power-play goal for the first time since Feb. 2.
Cam Ward made 26 saves for Carolina.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots for the Penguins, who have lost the first two games of a three-game road swing.
All the pregame attention was on Jordan Staal's first meeting with his former teammates since the blockbuster trade on draft night that sent him to his brother's team for Brandon Sutter and others.
But while Jordan Staal didn't show up on the score sheet, big brother Eric sure did: The line he centered for Tlusty and Semin produced three goals.
The Hurricanes started their scoring binge in the final minute of the first period, tying it at 1 with 24.1 seconds left when Eric Staal redirected Semin's spinning shot.
Tlusty then made it 2-1 by stuffing in the rebound of Eric Staal's close-range shot 4:03 into the second.
Skinner pushed the lead to 3-1 just 1:46 later when he scored off a pretty backhand pass from Patrick Dwyer.
Tlusty capped Carolina's three-goal second period and made it a three-goal game with 10.1 seconds left.
That had the Hurricanes on their way to yet another victory over a non-Southeast Division team. They are 0-5 against the other four teams in their division - and 10-3-1 against everybody else.
This one started just as the stat sheet suggested it would - with the Penguins scoring first.
Sidney Crosby delivered a pretty cross-ice pass to Kunitz, who fired a one-timer past Ward to make it 1-0 with 6:46 left. The Penguins entered outscoring their opponents 23-9 in the first period, while Carolina had been outscored 21-7 in the opening 20 minutes.
And for more than 19 minutes of the period, it looked as though those stats would hold - until Staal's redirection started the Hurricanes' flurry against Fleury.
NOTES: Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said C Evgeni Malkin, who missed his third straight game with a concussion, skated for the second consecutive day at the team's practice facility south of Pittsburgh - and uncorked a nifty trick shot, sending a puck into a bag from center ice. Bylsma said there is no timetable for Malkin's return. ... Skinner was one of four Hurricanes who returned from injuries, joining D Tim Gleason, D Jamie McBain and C Tim Brent. ... Carolina was 1-4 without Skinner.

Basic Blueberry Wine Recipe
Ingredients for one gallon of wine:
- 2 1/2 pounds of blueberries (fresh or frozen) Use more for a heavier body
- 4 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient
- 1 1/2 teaspoons acid blend
- 1 teaspoon pectic enzyme
- 1 Campden tablet.
- Wine making yeast
Crush the blueberries. I like to use a brand new pair of nylon stockings for
this, cut to size, and tied off. Frozen blueberries are great to use, after
they have thawed. The process of freezing the blueberries causes the skin of
the berry to be "pierced."
Mix the sugar well into two litres of hot or warm water, until the sugar has
Put nylon containing crushed berries into primary fermenter.
Pour sugar water into primary fermenter.
Add water to the one gallon mark on the primary fermenter.
Add the yeast nutrient, acid blend, and pectic enzyme. Stir well.
Crush the campden tablet, add to the muss, and stir well.
Take a specific gravity reading – it should be between 1.095 and 1.110 for a dry wine with an alcohol content between approximately 12 and 14%. Add
sugar if necessary to increase specific gravity.
Ensure the temperature of the must is between 70 and 85 F. Then sprinkle the
yeast on top.
Put a lid on the primary fermenter. Check the next day to ensure yeast has
started working. Press down lid if using tight fitting primary fermentation
lid and pail to expel the gasses. Do this 3 or 4 times per day for 7 days.
Check specific gravity, and when it is less than 0.090, rack into secondary
fermenter (1 gallon carboy). Top up with water if required, and apply an air
In three months, rack the wine into another carboy. This helps to remove the
sediment and ensures no "yeast rot." Add another crushed Campden tablet, and
apply air lock.
Age an additional three months (or longer if you want), and then bottle.
For five Imperial gallons, multiply the above ingredients by five – but it's
recommended that if this is your first time, just make one gallon. You don't
want to end up with gallons of stuff you don't like!
This recipe is based upon one in the book, Enjoy Home Winemaking by Robert and Eileen Frishman, now out of print.

AbstractUnlike the secondary structure elements that connect in protein structures, loop fragments in protein chains are often highly mobile even in generally stable proteins. The structural variability of loops is often at the center of a protein's stability, folding, and even biological function. Loops are found to mediate important biological processes, such as signaling, protein-ligand binding, and protein-protein interactions. Modeling conformations of a loop under physiological conditions remains an open problem in computational biology. This article reviews computational research in loop modeling, highlighting progress and challenges. Important insight is obtained on potential directions for future research.

Japan, Champion At World Cup Tweeting
Japan's two new favorite passions – Twitter and supporting the national soccer team – converged with a bang at the World Cup. A very big bang, according to the micro-blogging service: a global record for the most-ever tweets per second.
In the small hours following the Samurai Blue's surprise, but comprehensive 3-1 victory over Denmark June 25, Japanese fans were most visible pouring onto the sidewalks of Shibuya crossing, the congested pedestrian crosswalk in Tokyo made famous by the 2003 movie Lost in Translation.
Less obvious – Japan fans diving into their Twitter accounts. According to Twitter, the average numbers of tweets in the 30 seconds after the final whistle spiked at an intense 3,283 tweets per second, or tps. The average number is 750 tps. To put that in perspective, the number tops the previous record of 3,085 tps set when the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Championship the previous week, according to Twitter.
The new record was no fluke. Japan fans lit up Twitter as bright as Keisuke Honda's bleached hair as Japan's soccer hero raced towards his teammates to celebrate his match-winning goal against Cameroon June 14, during the team's first World Cup game. The historic kick garnered 2,940 tps in the moments that followed, making it the most tweeted goal in the first week of the tournament. At time of posting, Twitter hadn't responded to questions on whether the sad outcome of Japan's last game in the World Cup, a penalty shootout loss to Paraguay, generated similarly high levels of traffic. Perhaps officials were still counting?
The Twitter phenomenon is global, but in Japan it's spreading like a forest fire since a Japanese-language version was launched in 2008, with a mobile version last October. The number of Internet surfers who visit the micro-blogging service's site grew an estimated 1.9 million to 7.5 million in March compared to the prior month, according to ratings agency Nielsen Online.
Why? As a culture steeped in conformity, experts partly attribute Twitter's popularity here to the relatively casual and unusual freedom to vent anonymously about everything from what's for dinner to more poignant topics, like former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's abrupt resignation in early June, at a convenient touch of their beloved, Internet-friendly cell phones.
Twitter is also an appealing alternative to Mixi (in Japanese), Japan's popular, non-anonymous equivalent to U.S.-based social networking site Facebook, where the etiquette demands to maintain relationships becomes "tiring" says Akky Akimoto, author of the website Asiajin, a blog that tracks Japanese Internet industry news. There are currently 20 million registered Mixi users, but Mr. Akimoto says that for some the inability for users visiting other profiles to erase the digital footprint they leave behind can grow cumbersome after an initial honeymoon period. He said this is because the everyday Japanese mentality, with a compulsion to feel obligated to acknowledge every communication, carries over into the online universe, inciting a never-ending round of virtual thank yous and bows.
"Many people feel like Mixi forces them to communicate," says Mr. Akimoto. "It's very important to show that you're an active part of a circle of friends. On Twitter, they don't have to care about those things so people are more comfortable." The Japanese word used to mean 'tweeting' literally translates as 'mumbling', perhaps indicating a perception of the service as a less formal method of communication.
But Mixi says that Twitter's presence hasn't affected its popularity. The social networking site, which allows users to keep a web diary and upload social and game applications, doesn't consider Twitter a competitor because the services are fundamentally different.
"Twitter is fundamentally a public 'mumbling' forum whereas Mixi is about private communication. Our motivation is largely different," says Masahi Tokuda, the company's director of public relation. A user has an average 27 friends, a tight enough circle that keeps the communication "close to home", says Mr. Tokuda.
One other thing that may encourage Japanese use of Twitter: the 140 characters permitted per message can convey a whole lot more in Japanese, thanks to its various characters, than the same amount in languages using the traditional Western alphabet.
In the days since Japan's exit from the tournament, World Cup tweeting has continued, albeit at less intense volume: the team's still popular enough to warrant blanket live TV coverage of a homecoming press conference. And the Samurai Blue's much stronger-than-anticipated showing, and Mr. Honda's growing fame at home and overseas, seems to have laid the foundation for a solid soccer tweeting base.
And if the Samurai Blue twitterati is reading, surely this is worth a shout: according to player ratings submitted by readers of U.K. newspaper The Guardian, that man Keisuke Honda's scintillating performance against Denmark was the best by any at the World Cup so far – worth 9.08 out of 10. Watch out Twitter, here they come…

Here is a place where you can post just 1 or 2 petitions, stories, etc if you don't post generally - when you post a whole new topic - many people miss it so let's start doing them here unless you have your own thread already.
Also I am looking for more co-hosts - you don't have to do a lot really - but contact me if interested and let's see what we can come up with - one thing would be doing the hangman game - I am having trouble keeping up or just the information once someone has won - or any other idea you may have - just asking- love you all and you all do a FANTASTIC job!
Changed name of group to NO Cruelty to Animals - had been bothering me - and STOP was already taken - hope all are in agreement and doesn't mess anyone up!
This post was modified from its original form on 06 Sep, 6:21
thanks i like it !
Thanks VIctoria -
Like name change.
I could host Hangman but I'm in a different time zone from most plus I recently discovered my hip replacement's faulty, hundreds are being recalled, so I could at any time disappear into hospital for 6 weeks
Good name Val.
George sorry to hear about your hip, will miss you when you go into hospital.
Thanks for the offer George - the time difference is fine - everyone is in different time zones but if you're worried about disappearing for 6 weeks - just let me know - you could do just a few - or I'll just keep doing them - let me know. But I do hope you don't have to go back into the hospital - how is your arm?
Arm still weak - my encounter with the neurosurgeon was a waste of time. He was a waste of space.
Hip op could be in 2 weeks or 2 years. There's a long queue.
How about I start on game 100?
Thank you George - you are a saint - but please if it ever gets too much for you let me know and we can switch off - can you post the information about the animal also???
You are right Val George is a saint.
Thank you for posting
Takes one to know one Brenda - and I am NOT talking about myself.
Val I guess I never told you but you are a saint too!
Well I guess we are a group of saints then!!!!

Today, most biotherapeutics are manufactured using E. coli, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), or yeast-based expression systems, and these work-horse systems do the job. However, even these older systems have newer, add-on improvements that may require licenses for commercial applications (including basic commercial research). For example, some E. coli strains and CHO cells are generally used with licensed technologies that improve performance, such as newer vectors, promoters, and selection and amplification systems. So, even though the older technologies may be soon coming off patent, meaning they can be used without licenses or paying any fees, many users are willing to pay royalties or license fees to access improved performance.
AVOIDING PITFALLSChoosing a Technology
Most companies expecting to manufacture a recombinant protein or antibody get legal advice on how to license technologies. Licensing involves a series of generally predictable tasks, however, starting with an evaluation of the options.
One must decide whether to use one of the old, predominant host systems (e.g., E. coli, CHO, yeast), or seek out a newer system likely offering advantages such as increased yields, cost savings, and adaptability to the use of disposables. A large number of technologies are available for commercial-scale recombinant protein expression. The book, Biopharmaceutical Expression Systems and Genetic Engineering Technologies Directory, is one source of information on licensable expression system technologies. There is also considerable scientific literature related to expression systems. Whether one sticks with an older technology or goes with a newer one, you still may need one or more licenses to get what you really need.
Despite biopharmaceuticals being one of the most complex commercial products, many companies remain short-sighted and either do not explore their options or settle on using the same technologies they've been using. Old technologies can be good enough, particularly if long-term costs of manufacturing are not a major concern. However, by using old technologies you might lose out on efficiency (e.g., higher yield, increased speed), adaptability, and cost-effectiveness in the long term. For example, yields over 30 g/L are now being reported in perfusion culture with the PER.C6 human host cell system from Percivia (Crucell/DSM), compared with the single g/L range in older technologies. Often, older systems involve the use of large fixed stainless steel vessels, whereas newer technologies are more adaptable to modern bioreactors, often including single-use systems. Systems like DowPharma's Pfénex expression technology, a Pseudomonas fluorescens-based platform, is flexible and can be used to produce therapeutics at very high titers. Selexis (Geneva), developed a technology to improve yield of production cell lines in mammalian cells in suspension and in serum-free media more than 20 fold. There are over 300 other technologies awaiting evaluation.1 So, a first step is simply to be aware of what is available.
Selecting the Right Type of License
Some licensors create complex rules in an effort to get their technologies widely distributed while still ensuring that commercial organizations pay for access. RTC (Tucson, AZ), for example, licenses its Pichia platform to more than 120 companies. A license is required for even research-only use of this technology. Companies can get short-term use of a Pichia kit for evaluation. A commercial license for R&D, however, costs more than $50,000. Moreover, if you commercialize a product, fees can be $75,000 plus 3–5% of revenues. Also, if you buy a kit from a third party, you might end up blocking the rest of your organization from testing the technology until you pay the licensing fee. Similarly, Jena Bioscience GmbH (Jena, Germany) provides its Leishmania expression system without a license to any academic or public institution but charges a license for commercial purposes.

Boneheads Grilled Fish and Piri Piri Chicken, an Atlanta-based fast-casual restaurant concept, announces a new store design and prototype, the brand's first since its inception in 2005. Featuring modern updates–including a new color scheme, graphics, signage, furniture, and lighting–the new store prototype is designed to provide customers and current and prospective franchisees with an engaging and comfortable experience.
"With our upgraded furniture choices, uniform color scheme, and new experiential menu technologies, we've definitely elevated the entire feel," says James Walker, member of Boneheads' board of directors.
The new design boasts a clean, color palette dominated by bold blue hues. New interactive, digital menu boards will showcase Boneheads' dishes via multimedia, including cooking demonstrations, and will constantly refresh with new content.
"An enhanced customer experience was the chief motivating factor for these changes," Walker says. "But we also wanted to help franchisees and potential franchisees every step along the way to implement this design as efficiently as possible. With this new design, we can do just that."

Ask a group of musicians to name their favorite guitarist and there�s good chance you�ll have a fight on your hands. Ask the same group to name their favorite dobro player and there�s a good chance the answer will be unanimous: Jerry Douglas.
In fact, Douglas, who is at The Met in Pawtucket.on Sunday night, isn�t just a monster dobro and steel-guitar player � the kind whose sweet tone and blazing fast speed often leaves other guitarists shaking their heads in amazement. What he has accomplished, both as a solo performer and as a featured sideman and studio musician (most notably with the alt-country supergroup Allison Krauss & Union Station), is even bigger than that.
In much the same way that Bela Fleck has set the standard for contemporary banjo playing, Douglas has defined the art of resonator-style guitar playing for a new generation. And like Fleck, Douglas has pushed the dobro far beyond its bluegrass roots, drawing on everything from Celtic and Middle Eastern music to contemporary blues, jazz and soul.
Bottom line: the man�s a living legend and you�d best get yourself down to The Met on Sunday to see him. The show starts at 7 p.m. For more, call (401) 729-1005 or visit themetri.com.

First Niagara Financial Group, fresh off its blockbuster purchase of HSBC Bank USA's upstate branch network, said third-quarter profits rose 2.4 percent, as rising revenues and loan growth overcame merger and restructuring costs.
But after four major deals in as many years and with its stock still languishing at half its peak, the bank's top executives sought to stress to investors that they're keeping their eyes squarely on running the bank well, not on more wheeling-and-dealing.
"Let me make it very clear that our organization, top to bottom, is 100 percent focused on running the business that we've built, and that starts with me," President and CEO John R. Koelmel said on a conference call with analysts Friday.
"Leading the charge, I'm playing the hand that we hold today, which is one we very much like, to be sure we make the most of the solid franchise we've built."
The Buffalo-based parent of First Niagara Bank reported net income of $58.4 million, up from $57 million a year ago, as it benefited from the HSBC acquisition and other past purchases, as well as a mortgage banking boom driven by continued low interest rates.
After accounting for a $7.5 million preferred stock dividend in the current quarter, however, profits for common shareholders fell 10.9 percent to $50.8 million, or 14 cents per share, from $57 million, or 19 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. The bank also has about 56 million more shares outstanding compared with a year ago, after a successful capital offering last December.
Those results included a $3.5 million gain from the bank's sale this year of $3.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities in the second and third quarters, as well as one-time merger and reorganization charges of $19.1 million in this year's quarter and $16.7 million a year ago.
Not including those but still including the preferred dividend, the bank's operating profit for shareholders fell 9.6 percent to $66.5 million, or 19 cents per share, from $73.6 million, or 25 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Wall Street had expected 18 cents per share.
Total operating revenues rose 20.5 percent to $366.5 million, and were up 8 percent from the second quarter, with particularly strong growth in mortgage banking and other fee income. Mortgage banking revenues alone were up 53 percent from the second quarter, and 85 percent of the mortgages were originated through branches and not brokers or other wholesale sources. But the sale of the mortgage securities also reduced net interest income.
"I'm very pleased to report another quarter of solid operating results," Koelmel said. "I'm looking forward to a solid finish in 2012 and even more excited to make a strong run in 2013."
Investors reacted by sending the bank's stock down 4 cents to $8.24.
First Niagara has been on a tear in the past three years, snapping up swathes of branches and entire banks in greater Pittsburgh, greater Philadelphia, New England and upstate New York to more than quadruple in size. That's paid off with higher revenues and market penetration, giving the bank a chance to tap faster-growing markets, gain more customers, and grow loans and deposits.
But instead of translating into a stronger stock, the bank's share price has fallen, hitting a 10-year low on July 27 of $7.20 before creeping back up over $8. That's still just half of its all-time high of $16.30 on July 31, 2003.
So now executives are working to show they can manage what they've built and deliver what they've promised. "This is the first time in my tenure that the entire organization and my team have been 100 percent focused on running the business," Koelmel said. "While I'm proud of the consistent operating results we've delivered, I know we have to be even better, to affirm our position as a winner."
Over the long term, the bank wants to make better use of its deposits by lending 95 percent.
It also wants to derive more of its revenues from fees and other "non-interest" income, restoring that ratio to more than 30 percent from 27 percent currently and just over 20 percent several months ago. In particular, the bank is targeting treasury management, credit cards and online services, as well as capital markets and insurance. It plans to bring its credit card customer service in-house.
And it wants to lower its cost structure, so that it spends just 55 cents to produce a dollar of revenue, instead of nearly 72 cents now. The bank cut 180 employees recently in what it said was not a mass layoff but a pruning of unnecessary jobs.

June 2, 2008
AUGUSTA, Ga.---He's been a member of the Coliseum Authority for some time, but Freddie Sanders tells News 12 now is the time to step down.
Sanders submitted his letter of resignation this afternoon, citing a News 12 web poll as one reason he chose to leave the Authority.
Sanders says with 92 percent of people voting for every member of the Coliseum Authority to resign, he gets the message loud and clear.
"At least we've done more to get the whole community together than anything else," he said. "92% says we need to resign...I don't agree with that. I think you should look at every individual. But if they feel like as a body we need to do that, then I want them to understand that I'm going to do it. If I'm the only one that resigns, I'm going to be the only one that resigns."
Sanders may have resigned today, but the Augusta Commission appoints several of the board members. Sanders is Commissioner Jimmy Smith's appointee. Commissioner Smith will have to decide whether to accept Mr. Sanders' resignation.

President Bashir is SO evil….he is UNDER INDICTMENT at the ICC for GENOCIDE! He is a coward who hides out in his own country …but now there is a chance to bring him to justice. He will be traveling to Nigeria (see below) and Nigeria OWES IT TO THE ICC and the MILLIONS harmed by Bashir to arrest him and get him to the ICC to stand trial. Write your Congressman/woman and US Senators and tell them to put pressure on Nigeria to do the right thing! You have seen the cruelty of Bashir — check out the pics I took of children Bashir was trying to kill when I was in Sudan and South Sudan with Reverend Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse (my guess is that these children are already dead from either bombs or starvation):
The decay around the child's mouth above is from malnutrition. Her family was fleeing the bombing and had no food, no water, no shoes, and were walking looking for a refugee camp. The temperature when I was there as 110 degrees. Imagine walking on dirt and sand that is pounded by that heat with no water and no food. And imagine what it is like to starve to death or watch your child starve to death.
Here is a pic (below) of the "food" the people of Nuba Mountains scramble to find to eat — yes, bugs! And they consider themselves lucky if they can find bugs and leaves. Bashir is all evil.
And here is the latest article about Bashir's travels. He is a disgusting and immoral man.
Sudanese president will "soon" travel to Nigeria: ambassador
July 10, 2013, (WASHINGTON) – The Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir will "soon" head to Nigeria for talks with officials there, an envoy said.
Sudan's ambassador to Abuja, Taj Al-Sir Mahjoub, was quoted by local media in Khartoum as saying that the exact date of the visit will be announced at a later date.
He noted the recent visit by Sudanese foreign minister Ali Karti to Abuja in which he handed over a letter from Bashir to the Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan regarding bilateral relations and met with his counterpart Olugbenga Ashiru to discuss areas of cooperation particularly in the field of investments.
Karti and Ashiru also agreed to hold the joint Sudanese-Nigeria ministerial committee meeting next November in Khartoum.
If Bashir's visit to Nigeria materialises it will be the latest trip to a country which has signed up to the Rome Statute – the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He stands accused of war crimes in Sudan's western region of Darfur and arrest warrants have been issued for him by the ICC forcing him to turn down invitations from Rome Statute signatories.
The Sudanese leader has snubbed an African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) meeting that was called for in order to discuss a report of the AU Panel on Darfur led by former South African president Thabo Mbeki.
At the time the Nigerian government made it clear that it has no intention of arresting him despite the outstanding warrant.
"Hand him over to who when he is invited by the AU?" an anonymous government source in Nigeria told Agence France Presse (AFP).
