text: For three years, Jesus and his disciples had been getting to know each other. Those years had been a period whereby Jesus and the disciples would establish a relationship with each other. You have to understand that getting to know Jesus is not merely comprehending him with the intellect. To "know" implies experience rather than just intuition or theoretical knowledge. If you are to grow spiritually you have to have an experience with Jesus, and when you have an experience with Jesus, you have an experience with God. So, today I want to add to your understanding of Jesus, and your establishing a right relationship with Him instead of just knowing about Him.

That's not true at all. Legalising prostitution allows normal governments (of which we have none in PNG) to regulate the prostitutes strictly, including frequent tests for HIV and mandatory condom use.
There are good arguments for legalising prostitution if we had functioning governments, however, we do not have a functioning government in PNG. That's the only reason why legalising prostitution is a ridiculous idea.
Okay idea, wrong place, wrong time.

A news release from the White House says First Lady Michelle Obama will visit Mississippi Mar. 3 and be joined by Gov. Haley Barbour and his wife, Marsha, at a school to discuss ways to promote health eating, nutrition education and physical activity in schools.
Obama will hear from school officials and experts about local efforts to combat childhood obesity.
The first lady's campaign on obesity has four parts: helping parents make better food choices, serving healthier food in school vending machines and lunch lines, making healthy food more available and affordable, and encouraging children to exercise more.

Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Review by Aussiepair: A mixed bag.
Overall Member Rating
A mixed bag.
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Venice
My wife and I joined the Nieuw Amsterdam in Venice for a Collectors Cruise, 11 days cruising the Eastern Mediterranean followed by a 17 day cruise that started in Venice and terminated in Fort Lauderdale. We had a Balcony Stateroom on the 8th level which was small but comfortable and were looked after by very friendly cabin stewards.
The first thing that struck us when we boarded was the average age of the passengers, with more over 70 than under 60. At 55 I felt like one of the kids but this didn't bother us as we like things pretty quiet.
The first 11 days went very smoothly with calm seas, light winds and warm days. The ports of call were of great interest to my wife and I as we don't get to see any old ruins in Australia and the excavated sites at Ephesus, Delos and Olympia were simply amazing.
On the day that the first cruise ended we spent the day in Venice. The city is very interesting but spoiled by the attitude of the locals who on the most part were More rude and very anti tourist, a bit strange when almost the entire city survives on tourism.
When we boarded the ship for the second half of our cruise we were in for quite a shock. We went straight to the Lido Deck to have a coffee and were confronted by what looked like a school canteen after a food fight. The staff were doing their best to straighten the place up but were fighting a losing battle. While the passengers on the first half of the cruise were mostly well spoken and polite the passengers that boarded for the second half of our cruise and the Atlantic crossing seemed very different. For a start the average weight of the passengers went up by at least 50lb with many unable to fit into the very generous dining chairs. One lady came on board with her pet dog which she allowed to eat from the dining table. One "lady" stood behind me while I was eating and broke wind driving my wife and I out of the Lido, very classy. The attitude of some of the passengers to the staff was disgusting yet the staff took it in their stride.
We did strike a hurricane in the Atlantic but compared to the conduct of some of the passengers it was easy to handle.
Unfortunately for the second half of the cruise, 17 days, we were unable to use our balcony due to having a chain smoking cigar smoker in the cabin next to ours. We did complain to the front office but they said he was allowed to puff on his cigars for 24 hours a day and they would move us to another cabin if one became available. At least 2 cabins did become available when 2 gentlemen were sent ashore for medical reasons but we were not offered their cabins. The Captain also stated the ship was at 100 passengers below capacity so it would appear the offer to move us was not genuine.
Overall we did enjoy the cruise but we will not be cruising with Holland America again until they change their smoking policy and we would never consider another relocation cruise no matter how cheap it is.
From Fort Lauderdale we drove to Orlando for 4 days at Disney World where our faith in the American people was restored. In 4 days we never struck one obnoxious person, most being more polite than the average Australian. Less

A few years ago, I had a bulging disc in my neck that pinched a nerve. I was in a hell of a lot of pain, and my left arm was rendered fairly useless for a couple weeks. I knew there was nothing to do but wait it out, but my wife convinced me to go to a doctor. In the world of PPO/HMO, I had no clue what doctor to go to. I ended up going to the one closest to the abode. He ended up being a quack.
Since that son of a bitch got paid for every son-of-a-bitch service he provided, that son of a bitch had me going through every son-of-a-bitch test and treatment imaginable. I got an MRI, I got electric shock, I got a friggin' AIDS test. And every time I got a new test, the technician would ask, "What are you doing here?"
When it was all said and done, I still had a bulging disc, I was still in a lot of pain, and, only through my self-diagnosis of repeatedly, painfully moving my left arm, did that limb return to normal. That son of a bitch had me in tears--not because of the pain (though that electric shock thing sucked ass)--but because of all the frustration I went through, and all I kept thinking was, "What if I were really sick? What kind of son-of-a-bitch bullshit would I be going through?"
Well today, for the second time in as many months, I have paid another outrageous amount for a prescription. The first one was for that smoking cessation drug. Today was for an antibiotic. I have an eye infection. I was just going to ride it out; but it's lasted about three weeks now, and it's pretty hard reading for a living with a pus-filled eye. So, I just dropped 68 son-of-a-bitch dollars for an eye dropper I'm only going to be using for the next five days.
I mean, I've dropped hundreds of dollars for two prescriptions for non-chronic/non-life-threatening conditions. Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing at all. And that's what pisses me off. I can't help thinking, "What if I were really sick? What kind of son-of-a-bitch bullshit would I be going through?"
But hey, there's hope on the horizon. Our government's finally going to a single-payer health system, right?
Oh well, on the bright side, my next-door neighbor's screaming "Feelings" in Spanish at the top of his lungs. Life can't be all bad.

I have a friend who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I'm the smoker, she's not. I believe in Western medicine, she doesn't. I'm the healthy one, she's probably dying. She won't go the traditional way of chemo, radiation, and surgery so she will die of her cancer. I'm disabled by bipolar disorder and take a handful of drugs every morning and every night to stay sane and keep my blood pressure and heart rhythm normal. But since I have single payer health care it isn't to bad, cost wise. Why her and not me? I have no family. She has four kids and six grandkids. I wouldn't mind dying. She has a lot to live for.

I supposedly have very good health insurance, or so I have been told. But when I need to see a physician, I have to wait weeks for an appointment unless of course its an emergency and then I can be seen immediately after about a twelve hour wait at the emergency room and pay a hundred bucks. And then when I do get an appointment, I don't see the doctor, but a physician's assistant.
Yeah, this whole health care thing is looking more and more like a scam every day. I wonder what the rich folks do?

.HTacess on PHP Website on WIndows Server2008
I have a PHP5 website on Windows Server 2008. I want to access .htaccess file. How can I?
Unless you are running Apache you will not be able to use
.htaccess files for your configuration. Your have two options:
- Install Apache and set the
AllowOverride Alldirective as specified in the Apache Documentation.
- If you decide to use IIS instead of Apache, you will need to use
Web.configinstead of
.htaccessfiles to change configuration options. See this page for a tutorial on converting

Marietta resident Bee Rutter remembers making the journey from Brownsville, Pa. to Marietta aboard the majestic W.P. Snyder Jr., a trip she described as a "five-day party."
That was 59 years ago, when the 96-year-old sternwheeler was purchased by the Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen and the then-Ohio Historical Society for $1.
Thursday, Rutter stood on the banks of the Muskingum River at the Ohio River Museum to watch the Snyder return after months of repair work and several delays.
Article Photos
"It's just good as new inside and out," she said. "I hope to get back on it as soon as possible, as I have every summer it has been here."
The Snyder recently finished about $1 million in repairs that lasted seven months. It was due to return home from Henderson, W.Va. on May 8, but high and fast river levels kept the vessel docked at the Lafayette Hotel.
After crews from Amherst Madison took the ship to Vienna W.Va., for safety reasons, the ship finally got to return home Thursday to a small crowd of excited fans that lined the banks to sneak a peek at her return.
Fact Box
At a glance
The W.P. Snyder Jr. returns:
Arrived at Ohio River Museum at 10 a.m. Thursday.
Gone since October for $1 million in external repairs.
Size: 175 feet long, 32 feet wide.
Weight: 342 tons.
Built: 1918.
Purchased by Ohio Historical Society (Now Ohio History Connection) and Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen for $1 in 1955.
Last remaining steam-powered sternwheeler still afloat.
"It's such an interesting process, and it really is amazing to watch," said Marietta resident Ann Anderson. "I've never lived on a river growing up, and it's truly a unique experience."
The ship underwent a major overhaul of its exterior, from a new electric system to new paint, which project coordinator Fred Smith of the Ohio History Connection, formerly the Ohio Historical Society, said is still a working process.
"You can't argue with Mother Nature, that's just the way it is," he said. "We had to be flexible and wait it out, and though it would have been nice to get it here while kids were still in school, it's here now."
Smith said while docked at its home at the museum, crews will continue to finish the new electrical system that includes new lights.
"The crew really gave it their all; as if it was their own boat," he said. "Now, it's as pristine as it was in 1955."
Rutter, who was involved with the museums and the ship's upkeep for years with her husband, Woody, said she believes she is one of the last living people to have stepped foot on the Snyder during its 1955 glory.
"We still have quite an interest, and we've watched the museum grow and the Snyder change," Woody said. "It is such a prized artifact to the area."
The Rutters are both from Brownsville, Pa., close to Pittsburgh where the ship was built by James Rees and Sons Company in 1918.
Le Ann Hendershot, director of the Ohio River Museum, said visitation begins for the ship in June, though she said the electrical work going on might delay that process.
"We might have to wait a bit longer to see what else needs to be done, but for now it really looks magnificent," she said.
Crews from Amherst Madison, the company that has worked in partnership with Ohio History Connection to complete renovations to the vessel, spent Thursday aboard the ship as well as waiting to hook the vessel to its moorings at the Ohio River Museum.
Jim Falkenberg, of Marietta, said it was not his first time seeing the Snyder, but he had yet to watch one of its many returns until now.
"It really looks amazing now, because when they took it away it definitely needed work," he said.
Rick Allender, originally from Marietta, had traveled from Tallahassee, Fla., with his wife to visit family, and said he was delighted that he just so happened to arrive when the Snyder was returning.
"It was truly a blessing that we timed it that way," he said. "We always try to come back, especially to see stuff like this, because we were used to being on the river with all the ships."

Quotables: Lily Tomlin is Still at the Top of Her Feminist Game
"[Beyonce] is a pretty popular woman and she's married to a very powerful man, but she's still selling sex. She's selling a lot of sex to teeny-boppers. I don't know. ... I like her! I don't dislike her! But I don't pay any attention to that because -- I mean, she's fantastically beautiful and dances, but, you know, it's very suggestive. If I was a 10-year-old, I would try to emulate her like most 10-year-olds do.
For me, young girls are too sexually available! ... So, I shouldn't even talk about Beyonce because, hard as it is to believe and as much as she is present in the culture, I'm not terribly conversant with Beyonce.
The culture is so sexualized with girls and women. I was in a recording studio and a little girl who was about 4 years old was watching TV, and somebody's dancing on the TV in very elaborate sexually overt dance steps and the little girl goes, 'Oh, she's hot'. I'm thinking, this is a 4-year-old!"
--The ever-talented and always truthful Lily Tomlin on Beyonce, one of our semi-least favorite folks to discuss around there here parts, and she's so right. She's basically saying everything that we've been saying for months, now, if not longer: Beyonce's not breaking any musical ground, and she's not putting up fronts that people can't see through, because we have eyes and we're smarter than that.
What Beyonce -- and others like Miley Cyrus -- is doing is helping to create another generation of children who are going to grow up to be like what Paris Hilton was like during her very worst years, and friends, that is not "hot."

The Assignation
The Assignation, or Love in a Nunnery is a Restoration comedy written by John Dryden.[1] The play was first acted late in 1672, by the King's Company at their theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields, but was not a success with its audience.
Apart from the question of the play's quality — many critics have regarded it as a rush job, written mainly in prose with some blank verse — Dryden was suspected of anti-Catholic satire, especially in his choice of a subtitle. This was a sensitive issue at the time, given strong Catholic sympathies among some elements of the royal court — primarily the Duke of York, the future King James II.
The cast of the original production included Michael Mohun as the Duke of Mantua, Edward Kynaston as Prince Frederick, Charles Hart as Aurelian, William Cartwright as Mario, and Nicholas Burt as Camillo. The role of Hyppolita, the nun, was taken by Mary Knep; Rebecca Marshall played Lucretia.
Dryden drew plot material from a play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca titled Con quien vengo vengo.[2]
The Assignation was published in quarto in 1673 by Henry Herringman. Dryden dedicated the play to Sir Charles Sedley.[3] The play was republished in 1678 and 1692.

Last weekend at the Badlands, I had a weird problem. When I shifted from four wheel high down to two wheel high, the Jeep would pull really hard to the right when I accelerated. I had to shift the t-case back and forth a few times between the four wheel and two wheel positions before it would go back into two wheel and not pull to the right. Any ideas what this might be before I begin tearing into things I have no business getting into?

GOLDENDALE — The Washington Transportation Department says State Highway 14 in the Columbia River Gorge near Goldendale has reopened after repairs to fix pavement damaged by weekend mudslides.
The section of roadway between U.S. Highway 97 and State Highway 221 reopened Monday evening.
Spokeswoman Heidi Sause says crews had to repair about 600 feet of damaged pavement.
The affected section of highway was closed Saturday night after a thunderstorm washed mud, rocks and debris onto the road.
The repairs are estimated to cost $150,000.
The spokeswoman says the highway in that area carries an average of 1,400 drivers a day.

Art for October – Erin Oliver
Erin Oliver is originally from the Northeast, but has been living in North Carolina for the past five years. She holds an Art Education degree from Temple University's Tyler School of art, and has studied art in Rome, Paris, and Berlin; she has been teaching art for five years to a variety of age groups. She is continuing her art making practice through drawing and painting, most currently a series of oil paintings.
Erin's artwork aims to construct environments that derive from reality and our natural surroundings, but are ambiguous and extend beyond our perception of the landscape. Shapes and structures are fractured and interweaved throughout the surface, creating transitions in space intended to distort the figure/ground relationship and fluctuate the depths of spaces portrayed. Through these means, she hopes to capture the transience and fragility of life, as well as the lushness of the natural environment we live in.

But among all the drama were two puzzling moments as first Carlos Tevez then Samir Nasri celebrated their goals by revealing T-shirts with baffling words written upon them.
So what did those messages mean?
First up was Tevez, whose shirt read "Lugano 1 y 2", which was apparently a reference to the apartment block in which he grew up in Buenos Aires.
It was a natural progression from the T-shirt he displayed after scoring in the charity shield, which read "Fuerte Apache" in reference to his old neighbourhood. He'll have to up the ante again next time: his specific apartment number is an obvious next step then we can probably expect messages like "bedroom at the back" or perhaps "bottom bunk".
As for Nasri? Well, Sunday saw not only the beginning of City's defence of their title, but also the Muslim holiday of Eid ul-Fitr which marks the end of Ramadan.
Nasri, who is of Algerian extraction, decided to celebrate with a T-shirt message saying "Eid Mubarak", which is usually translated into English as "blessed festival", and is the traditional greeting given by Muslims to each other on the Eid ul-Fitr holiday.

SIKESTON - When Sikeston hosts a state athletic tournament, it's a chance not only to show off local sports teams, but the community as well.
"It's part of creating a good impression of our communities - both Sikeston and Miner," said Missy Marshall, executive director of the Sikeston Area Chamber of Commerce. "It speaks well of our community and the people who are working in those leagues who recruit these tournaments and volunteer their time, and it also speaks well of our Parks and Recreation Department - we have great ball fields to host these things."
One such event is occurring right now - the Missouri State 14-year-old baseball tournament. The eight team double elimination tournament began Thursday and will continue through Sunday, with teams representing Aurora, Boonville, North Scott County, Dexter, Mineral Area, Lebanon, Mississippi County and Sikeston.
To host the state tournament, the league simply must ask permission from the state commissioner, explained Gary Pewitt, tournament director. And with tournaments for kids ages 9 through 15, it's not too hard to be granted permission. "There's a lot around the state," he said.
Last year, Sikeston hosted the 13-year-old baseball tournament, so a lot of the same kids and families are back this year, Pewitt said. "And I got nothing but good comments (about last year's tournament)," he added. "I think we've got a good community here."
And the well-kept facilities don't hurt. "People are pretty impressed with the facilities we have in Sikeston," Pewitt noted.
The 105 players from out of town stay with host families during the tournament, Pewitt said. However, their families tend to attend the tournament as well - from immediate family to aunts and uncles and grandparents, he added.
"There's a lot of people coming in for these events," Marshall agreed. "Depending on the size of the family and who comes, there could be an additional two, five, six or more people."
Obviously, not all of the families use the hotels, Pewitt said. But, there is still a lot of money spend during four-day tournament. Visitors buy gasoline and food, stay in hotels and also do shopping, even if it's just for small items.
"You always forget something," Marshall said.
And those immediate needs aren't all people are spending their money on.
"Some are going to go in the movies in their off time or they may go bowling," Marshall added. "You have to think about all the incidentals that trickle through."
To help visitors know about dining and entertainment opportunities, the tournament staff are handing out visitor information guides, provided by the SACC, Pewitt said.
And the money spent rolls over in the community, Marshall said, pointing out that many forget that. "For every dollar they spend, that dollar rolls over and over and over in our community - salaries, utilities, taxes," she said.
Several restaurants have requested to be notified when events that bring extra visitors into town are scheduled so they can be fully staffed, Marshall noted.
"They'll have normal business, then it's like 'Oh my gosh, here comes a team!'," she said. "So whether its baseball, swim team or soccer team, we try to notify the restaurants."
Burger King is one restaurant that likes to know what is going on. "We keep up with what's going on in town," said Lois Pruitt, manager. "Rodeo and golf tournaments all bring in extra business."
As of Thursday afternoon, Pruitt hadn't seen a lot of extra business as a result of the baseball tournament yet. "Usually it's more towards the weekend," she said.
However, Burger King does have a larger crew on their shifts, just in case.
The softball tournament is also an appreciated opportunity for local hotels, Marshall said.
"The hotels in Sikeston and Miner are typically busy in the summer, but its great to have a tournament like this going on right now in the middle of the week," she said. "It gives them a boost."
Mike Stanley, guest service supervisor at Drury Hotel, agreed. "We're just about filled up because of the baseball tournament," he said.
Out of the 80 rooms, only about 10 were vacant for Thursday night. Rooms were also filling up at the Pear Tree Inn, which is also owned by Drury.
On a local basis, the hotel doesn't do anything to publicize themselves for such events, Stanley said. "But the corporate office does call around to the teams and try to set up group rates and stuff," he said.
And the Sikeston Factory Outlet Stores also expect to receive extra business this weekend. "Anytime there's any of the different sporting events in town, extra people are in town and spending money," said Manager Lisa Neumeyer. "We love them."
The stores definitely notice a difference, she said. However, they are already well staffed because of other travelers and back-to-school shoppers, so they typically don't have any additional preparations.

The morning routine at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire will be 10 seconds shorter Friday after a federal judge banned the moment of silence mandated in public schools in Illinois.
Like many of their counterparts, Stevenson students have been asked to reflect or pray at the same time each day since last October, when Illinois passed the law. On Thursday a judge halted that requirement while he figures out if the law passes constitutional muster.
Not all Illinois schools heeded the law. Administrators for districts that did comply said they didn't foresee much impact from dropping the moment in the school year's waning days.
Stevenson junior Aliya de Grazia welcomed the change, saying she looked forward to a moment-free start of the day.
"I didn't have a problem so much with the idea of us reflecting in school," said de Grazia, a junior who walked out of her first-period class when the moment of silence was first observed. "But I can't stand the idea of the government telling me what to think or what to say and when to do it."
The ruling is just the latest turn in a debate that's been anything but silent the last year.
When the law was proposed, most legislators supported allowing a brief period for students to use for "silent prayer or for silent reflection on the anticipated activities of the day." Lawmakers even banded together in the fall to override Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich's veto.
But the measure, titled the Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act, has sparked backlash from the public and confusion in the classroom as some districts observed the law and others ignored it.
In Oswego, Community School District 308 officials implemented a moment of silence before the Pledge of Allegiance, while Oak Park and River Forest High School administrators decided against observing a moment once the law was challenged in court.
The two schools in Lake Villa-based Community High School District 117 split. Antioch High School phased out the moment after the suit, while Lakes Community High School continued the practice, adding 5 seconds after the Pledge of Allegiance each morning.
Chicago Public Schools left enforcement up to the principal of each school, but it's unclear if any of the schools put it in place because the district didn't track which schools participated.
"This is one of those vague rulings that schools just have to comply with," said Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, regional superintendent at the Will County Regional Office of Education. "The intention was good. I'm just not sure it accomplished anything significant or that the kids really understood why it was in place."
Critics said the mandate amounted to a government endorsement of religion, while supporters said the pause was simply a respite for busy young minds.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman previously stopped the law from being observed in northwest suburban Township High School District 214 after atheist activist Rob Sherman challenged the law on behalf of his daughter, Dawn, a student at Buffalo Grove High School.
In March, Gettleman expanded the case into a class-action suit, meaning students and school districts from Chicago to Cairo could participate. That opened the way for the temporary injunction to be expanded statewide Thursday.
Dawn Sherman, 14, said students at her school laughed at the silent moment when it was first implemented.
"I was pretty much thinking that it was wasting my time," said Sherman. "It's during my algebra class. A lot of things happen in algebra, and every second counts."
Legislators since have tried to reverse the mandate, but that effort recently fell short in the Senate after lawmakers argued the court challenge should be decided.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-Maywood), criticized the decision.
"That's a travesty, in my opinion, for a judge to make a statewide decision based on one student filing in his courtroom, when this would affect millions of students statewide," Lightford said.
While the matter is far from being settled, some educators said they're just glad they'll have the summer to assess the silence situation.
"School is out Tuesday, so whatever happens, it likely won't go into effect until next school year," said Sandy Zalewski, spokeswoman for Joliet School District 86, where all 20 schools observed the moment of silence.

In November of 1964, the American Medical Association held its First National Conference on Areawide Health Facilities Planning in Miami Beach, Fla. While strong opposition was generated concerning attempts to make areawide planning compulsory, the House of Delegates passed a unanimous resolution stating that the physician has a vital role to play in hospital and health facility planning, that this responsibility for planning should be exercised through medical societies, and that regional planning for health facilities must be on a voluntary basis.
The implications of this resolution continue to become more numerous and complex. For this reason it should be apparent that areawide planning demands the practicing physician's interest and understanding. In 1963, James H. Cavanaugh, PhD, of the University of Iowa's College of Medicine completed a national survey of the status of areawide planning of hospitals and related health facilities. Dr. Cavanaugh, whose contribution appears in this issue (p

Product Description
Zavandor is a world of contrasts. It is full of breathtaking landscapes, ancient forests, and stunning mountain vistas. But much of Zavandor is defined by industrious mining operations, attacking the great mountain ranges from above and below. Who will become the most successful gem-trading mogul in Zavandor? Like most gnomes, you have two great passions: sparkling gems and wondrous machines. The sought-after gemstones can be unearthed around the mining town of Diamantina, then sold at the gem exchange where shady traders are always willing to engage in a little wheeling and dealing for valuable mining rights, artifacts, and jewelry.

Author of the best selling novels -Pyramid Base and Banker's Trust It was supposed to be a simple business trip, just long enough for Reuven Rotterman to purchase diamonds for an important customer and get home in time for shabbos. But when his partner disappears suddenly, Reuven is forced to realize that he may be next. Guided by the only friend he has in the country, Reuven flees through the jungles of Zaire hoping to find his way home to safety. Instead, Reuven finds himself catapulted to the top of the most wanted list - caught in the crossfire between two adversaries on opposite sides of the world. It's a race between Jon Komono, the ruthless chief of the Zairian intelligence services. And General Allen Ford, head of the African department of the CIA. As the forces of two governments converge upon Reuven's hiding place, it becomes clear that the fate of an entire nation rests on the outcome of their battle... who will find him first?

Antigen Discovery was awarded $1.8 million from NIAID under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The phase 2 STTR grant will fund efforts to further test and validate novel candidate antigens discovered during the company's STTR phase 1 program. Antigen Discovery intends to develop the novel antigens as core protective components in a vaccine against chlamydia. The two-year grant supplements a previously awarded phase 2 STTR to the company in 2007. Antigen Discovery will collaborate with investigators in the department of pathology & laboratory medicine of the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine.
"Antigen Discovery's high-throughput proteomics approach has allowed us, for the first time, to successfully scan the entire proteome of Chlamydia trachomatis," says Dr. Luis de la Maza, principal investigator on the STTR grant. "Our goal for this phase of the project is to identify a small subset of recombinant chlamydial antigens that induce strong protection against infection challenge. These antigens will be ideal candidates to develop a novel chlamydia vaccine."

Is that really IM Angelo Young sporting a tie? Indeed it is, and with him is the rest of the lineup that brought victory to the Blaze in Week 6: (L to R) NM Gopal Menon, GM Mesgen Amanov, and GM Dmitry Gurevich.
FM Ron Young hit the nail on the head earlier in the week when he said that Chicago could just conceivably not win its match with the Baltimore Kingfishers. Young went on to say though, "ok, I've crawled out just about far enough on that limb. Chicago." And so it was…the Chicago Blaze were victorious yet again with a 2.5-1.5 win over the Kingfishers, extending its record to a remarkable 6-0 and clinched a playoff spot in the process!! Once again there was no shortage of drama and excitement at the North Shore Chess Center .
The big surprise of the evening came early on as NM Gopal Menon upended NM Ian Schoch, the heavy favorite on Board 4 who came in with a 70 plus point rating advantage, a 3-0 record, and a lot of talk as being a 1st Team USCL Board 4 All Star Candidate. In the match, Menon got seriously down on time but in typical fashion remained cool, calm and collected as he patiently waited for his higher rated opponent to give him an opportunity to strike in this Czech Benoni opening . Some in the crowd thought that happened on move 26 when Schoch shifted his Knight to the e2 square. 7 moves after that Schoch resigned. As IM Jan van der Mortel noted on ICC, "Gopal is a beast on tactics."
On Board 3, Blaze stalwart IM Angelo Young comfortably coasted to victory against NM Jared Defibaugh in a rope-a-dope version of the Kings Indian Defense where he exploited weaknesses on the light squares. Meanwhile on Board 2, GM Dmitry Gurevich's position against IM Tegshsuren Enkhbat was looking just fine…until it wasn't. Enkhbat captured the point for the Kingfishers. The final game of the evening to conclude was on Board 1 pitting GM Mesgan Amanov against GM Giorgi Margvelashvli in a semi-nailbiter of a Modern Benoni. In workmanlike fashion, Amanov demonstrated the rough equivalence between a knight and 3 pawns, held the draw, and thus secured the match victory for the red hot Blaze, As Kingfishers Catch Fire.
A further observation: while much has been said this year about the massive fire power on the top boards for the Blaze, the truly astounding accomplishments have occurred on Boards 3 and 4 where team members have won a total of 11 matches and drawn 2 (11.0/12.0 points) , while the team has scored a total of 18.5 points for these first 6 weeks. Angelo Young has set the pace with 3 wins on Board 3 in as many outings.
And last, but certainly not least, many thanks go out to celebrity TD Maret Thorpe, a driving force on the Illinois chess scene where she wears many a hat. Maret founded and plays a large part in running the Evanston Chess Club, the premier community chess club in the Midwest, if not the nation. Maret also does a tremendous job as the Webmistress and Secretary for the Illinois Chess Association. Maret is also a top notch graphic designer and owns her own graphic design consulting firm. Thanks again to Maret.
Next up are the 2nd place San Francisco Mechanics(tied with LA and Dallas), a dangerous team if ever there was one and a perennial league contender. The beat goes on. And from Skokie, Illinois, that's the way it was………

|"300" Director Zack Snyder
Fans who appreciated how faithful the "Sin City" movie was to the comics can look for more of the same with the film adaptation of another Miller comic, "300." The film's director, Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead" remake), stars Gerard Butler ("Dear Frankie") and David Wenham ("Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King") and Miller gave Comic-Con International audiences a preview of the film Saturday.
The panel kicked things off by showing a trailer, which looked extremely faithful to the graphic novel, with plenty of blood, guts and nudity.
Response from the audience and cast (who had not seen the trailer before) was so positive, it was shown twice more before the panel concluded.
Following the showing of the trailer, the panelists began a Q&A session:
- Snyder said all the credit for the faithfulness of the film's look went to Miller -- "I didn't have any ideas of my own, so I used Frank's." Miller, in turn, gave credit to Lynn Varley who did the backgrounds for "300."
- As for the costumes in the film, the Spartans don't wear much. Butler said when he initially put on his costume, "I pretty much have never felt so stupid in all my life. I asked myself, 'How am I going to get through this?'"
He said he got used to it after awhile, and by the end of the film, "you just want to look bigger than the other guys."
Wenham said he quickly "hit the panic button" after being cast and called his agent, but then got used to the idea.
However, when Wenham first found out he'd be in a codpiece the whole movie while filming in Montreal during the winter, he called Snyder right away. The director laughed, recalling this.
- Snyder said that the film took about 60 days to shoot.
- An audience member mentioned trailer viewers saw men and women "getting together" (and rather explicitly), and wanted to know if viewers would see men "with" men?
Miller responded with a straight face: "No. We call this fiction."
- Characters' capes kept flipping over their heads during and that their sword arms kept getting tangled up in them. Butler added the capes were quite weighty and felt very heavy by the end of the day.
"Spoken like a true Spartan," chided Wenham.
"But it huuuurt," Butler mock-whined.
- Miller discussed his trip to Greece when researching "300." He said he went on a historical tour and made a side-trip to the "Gates of Hell," which was quite different now with a treacherous freeway nearby.
Miller added the land and the sea were Greece's biggest weapons in fighting invaders -- and their freeways.
- Wenham said the most rewarding parts of working on the film were getting paid to be in the best shape of his life, working with Zack Snyder (the only director he's ever worked with who was calm every day of a shoot) and being in a movie inspired by a Frank Miller graphic novel.
- The trailer had Nine Inch Nails music, and Snyder hopes to score the movie with music that sounds like a mix of contemporary and classical.
- Snyder said he believes Hollywood has a changed mindset now when it comes to adapting comics nowadays: "They feel graphic novels don't need to be fixed anymore, just filmed."

Butler told the audience, "You only have one life. Follow your heart and go with your dreams."

Alabama Rules the Universe, Again
No one could argue with a straight face that the University of Alabama's nearly perfunctory reign over the rest of the country hasn't been earned with superior recruiting, defensive schemes, animal sacrifice and whatever else goes into making a college football program that much better than the competition. But it's sort of a drag, isn't it? Weeks of brow-beating and promo-cutting and moaning about the unfairness of math ends up with this–yet another national championship game in which Alabama reduces the manic unpredictability of sports into indisputable fact. It took less than a quarter for the Crimson Tide to prove themselves undoubtedly better against the University of Notre Dame in Monday's BCS title game, scoring on their first drive by going farther than any team had against the famed Fighting Irish defense this season and scoring again on their next two possessions. By the end of the first quarter, most of the fun came by rifling through all the Twitter kvetching over how Oregon might've played better, how Knicks-Celtics was a better watch and how creepy it was for Brent Musburger to keep openly obsessing over AJ McCarron's girlfriend on the telecast. The 42-14 final score told the story of yet another game where the Crimson Tide made somebody good look like a seventh-place team from the Sun Belt Conference.
That the SEC remains on top after winning its seventh straight title is an open and shut case, but it comes with a new wrinkle for those who love debating: Whether Alabama qualifies as a dynasty after winning their third national championship in four years. "The BCS might want to put an end to these futile championship charades," Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel writes. "How many more teams' fans will fork over thousands of dollars for tickets and flights only to subject themselves to three-hour horror shows? How many more hours of programming must ESPN devote to building up an Alabama game that's less competitive than A-Day? How many more idiots like this one will delude themselves into thinking one of Saban's teams can be rendered mortal in a championship setting?" In their first three drives, the Tide scored as many rushing touchdowns (two) as Notre Dame had allowed all season. They also gained a 265-32 edge on rushing yards, and enabled McCarron to become the first starting quarterback to win two BCS titles, period. As an additional bonus in what surely qualified as a proud teaching moment in Saban's life, McCarron somehow got mad enough to get into a short shoving tizzy with center Barrett Jones over a miscommunication that led to a delay of game penalty … with Alabama already up four touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Even venerated Irish linebacker Manti Te'o, named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, was made to look silly throughout the game, missing several tackles and inspiring an awed discussion whether it was possible that there were several players on the Alabama defense better than him.
Monday's debacle aside, pro-Irish optimists have to smile about Notre Dame's overall season, as they returned to the national conversation after a few years of deep irrelevance. Where they go from here, and whether getting shellacked on the big stage will have any real impact on their renewed recruiting powers, is of course a question left for the future. Less debatable, though, is that Saban and his crew will keep doing this until they decide not to. "So we're back to where we started from—Alabama national champs, for the third time in four years, a stunning blast of dominance. Another Gatorade shower for Nick Saban, another triumphant walk to midfield," writes the Journal's Jason Gay. "This is becoming so customary—seven SEC teams crowned national champions in a row. All of that conference braggadocio doesn't sound like braggadocio anymore. It sounds like common sense."

About that Knicks-Celtics game: Really, it was a better watch, or at least an actually competitive game between division rivals that came down to the final moments. With Rajon Rondo suspended because of an incident with a referee, the Knicks seemed poised to capitalize on Boston's raggedness. Instead, the Celtics hung tough through four quarters, with their signature brand of physical basketball leading to bad blood both figurative (Carmelo Anthony, who was called for a technical while jawing with Kevin Garnett, reportedly confronted Garnett after the game) and literal (J.R. Smith required stitches on his forehead after colliding with Boston's Avery Bradley). Aided by a few timely shots from Paul Pierce, who continues to make his case for New York's strongest basketball troll since Reggie Miller, the Celtics ended up comfortably on top by the final buzzer.
While the Knicks have blossomed this season as the Celtics have struggled to get into gear, such a chippy contest serves as a reminder that their rivalry is still very much a thing, regardless of what their records may indicate. "Over the past few years, Knicks-Celtics has included all kinds of petty hostility, numerous Boston game-winners (plus Amar'e Stoudemire's waved-off three in 2010), and one miserable playoff series in 2011 — a 4–0 sweep in the history books that belies some narrow, heartbreaking finishes," writes New York Magazine's Seth Rosenthal. "Even as they've grown into a winning team the last two years, New York's always been looking up at Boston." It might still be that way, until conclusively proven otherwise.

It's hard to imagine this happening in American sports because sportswriters are a fickle bunch always on the hunt for the newest, hottest narrative. That's why Michael Jordan never won nine straight MVPs, or however many he was owed. The voters for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, awarded to the top soccer player of the year, seem to have no such qualms, as Barcelona forward Lionel Messi was handed his fourth straight trophy. Even by his usual superlative standards, Messi had an especially successful campaign, breaking the longstanding record for most goals scored in a calendar year. Though Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi's closest thing to a rival, led his Real Madrid squad to the Spanish league title over Messi's Barcelona, whether he should've gotten the award is perhaps an argument for argument's sake.
"But whether you agree or not with the decision to award Messi the prize which, not incidentally, puts him ahead of legends of the game such as Zinedine Zidane and the Brazilian Ronaldo, who both won the World Player of the Year prize three times, you can't deny the diminutive Argentine's genius," writes Time's Glen Levy. "As well as Messi's goals — he managed 91 in the calendar year of 2012, which included five in one Champions League game in March, the same month he became Barcelona's all-time leading goal scorer — his numerous assists have turned countless games in his club's favor." In a highly accomplished career, the last standard by which Messi can prove himself one of soccer's all-time greats is by winning a World Cup, which he'll attempt next summer; for now, he'll have to be content with being considered the indomitable best of his day.

GM Celebrates its 100 Birthday by Unveiling the Chevrolet Volt
General Motors Corporation (GM) reached its 100-year anniversary on September 16, and as a sign of changes coming to the automotive industry, the company unveiled the production version of its plug-in hybrid vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt. GM took design cues from its muscular concept vehicle in its creation of the Chevy Volt, but the pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency for the highest fuel economy led to a softer, more rounded shape for the production vehicle. According to GM, the company has created one if its most aerodynamic vehicles ever in order to achieve its goal of traveling up to 40 miles without using gasoline or producing emissions. For longer drives, a flex-fuel engine will burn gasoline or E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) to drive a generator that will recharge the battery.
The Chevy Volt will feature a lithium-ion battery pack consisting of 220 battery cells that can store 16 kilowatt-hours of electricity. The battery will provide power to a 111-kilowatt electrical drive unit that will produce 150 horsepower and 273 foot-pounds of torque, allowing the Volt to reach a maximum speed of 100 miles per hour. The vehicle can be recharged in about 8 hours using a standard 120-volt outlet or in less than 3 hours using a 240-volt outlet, the type commonly used for electric dryers or ovens. GM estimates that the Chevy Volt will cost about 2 cents per mile to run in electric mode, while even a 60-mile-per-gallon hybrid fueled with gasoline at $4 per gallon will cost about 6.7 cents per mile. GM expects to build the Volt in Detroit, Michigan, beginning in late 2010, but it has not yet determined a price for the vehicle. See the GM press release and the story and related videos on the GM Next Web site.

- Conference date: 10-17 August 2005
- Location: Orlando, Florida (USA)
In the development of ultra‐high precision superconducting devices, the housing geometry and surface finish that defines the circuit often determines ultimate performance. This can be more critical for non‐planar geometries, such as cylindrical surfaces, in which preserving cylindricity can be more important than surface smoothness (our cylindricity requirement is μm along 100 mm cylinder length). Worse than added cost of polishing, there is also the risk that the polishing process will degrade cylindricity. We have investigated the critical current of niobium thin film traces as a function of quartz surface roughness (as defined by ASME standards). Preliminary results show that the critical current decreases with increasing surface roughness, with a more pronounced decrease as the surface roughness becomes comparable to 400 nm film thickness. We will discuss our results based on a simple theoretical model.

Pangea3 Co-founder David Perla Hops To Bloomberg BNA
David Perla went from practicing law to developing a business that was part of a transformational shakeup in the legal profession.
In 2004 he co-founded the legal outsourcing company Pangea3 LLC. Based in New York and Mumbai, the firm was ultimately sold to Thomson Reuters for an undisclosed price that some estimated at $35 million to $40 million.
Now Mr. Perla's latest move takes him to Bloomberg BNA, a subsidiary of Bloomberg that provides legal, tax, regulatory and business information. He joins the company on July 21 as president of Bloomberg BNA Legal.
So how does Mr. Perla assess the profession, after a decade of upheaval from technological shifts and changes in the way client purchase legal services?
"I don't think the sky has fallen, but I think people have accepted we are in a new normal where the rate of growth has slowed significantly," he told Law Blog. "In real numbers the majority of firms are flat, and the very, very profitable and high-revenue firms continue to grow…. [while] everyone else is sitting still."
Back when Panagea3 got started, many in the profession questioned whether off-site lawyers working in remote locations–and at much cheaper rates–could perform document review and other legal tasks as well as junior lawyers at major law firms billing $200 or more an hour.
Now such alternative service providers have become the norm. Big law firms and clients alike use them for everything from drafting and reviewing contracts to conducting due diligence on mergers and acquisitions.
For big law firms, other pressures loom. Law firms cut back after the recession, ratcheting down on expenses and trimming lawyers and staff as clients demanded discounts and other concessions.
"Any growth law firms have gotten on the profit side in the last six years or so has really been on expense reduction," Mr. Perla said. "The fundamental question that lawyers are grappling with is: how do I increase my top line?"
Rate increases are no longer a given, and many law firms are realizing they have to grab market share from their competitors. They also want to capture more money from the clients they have.
Being a good lawyer "just gets you in the door," he said. "You have to know more about your client than you ever did before."
Getting more of that information into lawyers' hands will be Mr. Perla's next challenge. At Bloomberg BNA Legal, which provides legal research tools as well as regulatory and corporate data, he will focus on growing the business and on content and product development.
After leaving Pangea3, Mr. Perla served as chairman and chief executive at Matterhorn Transactions Inc., a provider of market data and legal information for bankers and deal lawyers.

UPDATE 1:40 p.m. Friday:
The fire on Stonegate Drive in Salem Wednesday has been deemed accidental in nature.
According to Mike Stevens, the fire originated in the attic space of the building and was caused by an electrical short.
The Salem Fire & EMS Department responded to the fire at 1024 Stonegate Drive around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday. The people who live in the home were not inside at the time of the fire.
One dog was inside the home. The pet was removed unharmed by firefighters.
Red Cross representatives assisted the homeowners after the fire.
UPDATE 9:38 p.m. Wednesday: A fire on Stonegate Drive in Salem Wednesday is still under investigation.
The Salem Fire & EMS Department responded to a the fire at 1024 Stonegate Drive around 1:00 p.m. The people who live in the home were not inside at the time of the fire.
One dog was inside the home. The pet was removed unharmed by firefighters.
The first units arrived within four minutes of receiving the call, according to a news release. They found heavy smoke and fire coming from the roof. There was a significant amount of damage to the home, and it took crews almost two hours to fully extinguish it.
About 35 personnel from Salem Fire and EMS Department, Roanoke Fire-EMS, and Roanoke County Fire and Rescue responded.

"It appears to be a total loss right now. Of course the building official, he is on site and he will make the determination as far as damage," says Fire Chief Pat Counts of the Salem Fire and EMS.
Counts says relying on other fire hydrants did not hinder their response time. He says flames were already in the attic and spreading by the time his crews arrived on the scene.
No one was home at the time of the fire.
One firefighter was treated on the scene after complaining of heat exhaustion, but he's okay.
Crews were able to rescue a family pet.
Salem firefighters are working to put out a fire on Stonegate Drive.
The fire was reported around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday. Flames were still coming from the home more than a half-hour later.
A WDBJ7 crew on the scene said firefighters had to evacuate the house as the fire grew. One firefighter appeared to be slightly hurt.

Sir Bob goes back to his roots to support Sunderland's stars of tomorrow
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
Sir Bob goes back to his roots to support Sunderland's stars of tomorrow
Former Sunderland Chairman, Sir Bob Murray went back to his roots yesterday to see at first-hand the impact of a youth project in Consett, Co. Durham.
Sir Bob, who is also founder and Chair of Trustees for the Foundation of Light, a registered charity of Sunderland AFC, praised the work and success of the Family Learning and Kickz programme, which was launched in Consett and Stanley last year.
The aim of the programme is to provide a range of sport related activities for 13 to 19-year-olds to develop young people's potential.
The project has achieved impressive results in the North East and expanded into Derwentside following a new partnership between Derwentside Homes and the Foundation of Light. The aim of the partnership is to reduce anti-social behaviour, teach youngsters valuable skills and increase their confidence.
The award-winning Kickz programme was originally developed by the Football Foundation, Metropolitan Police and The Premier League and uses football to engage with young people in local communities.
The Foundation has also rolled out its successful Family Learning programme in Derwentside, which offers first steps learning to parents and carers, as well as adult learning courses and qualifications.
Since it was launched in April 2012, over 1,780 youngsters have participated in the Kickz evening, holiday and daytime sessions in schools across the District. Police have also reported that since May 2012, crime has reduced by 72% in the Consett town centre area. Over 40 local families have engaged in Family Learning courses in Derwentside since September 2012 and of those, 27 families have fully completed the courses.
Sir Bob said: "It's fantastic to see the positive impact that the Foundation is already having in the Derwentside area."
"One of the Foundation's aims is to give people the opportunity to change their lives for the better and the support of organisations such as Derwentside Homes really make this possible by helping us into the heart of communities."
"I always believe that a huge amount of credit should go to those who take part in the programmes and are willing to give new things a go. It was a real pleasure meeting some of those people today and they are a real inspiration to all of us at the Foundation of Light."
Derwentside Homes' chief executive Geraldine Wilcox said: "It was really generous of Sir Bob to come and visit the project and meet the youngsters and families that benefit from these activities. He is an ambassador for the North East and an inspiration to young people.
"Since it was launched, the programme has grown from strength to strength and results demonstrate that through effective partnership working, we can make a difference to the lives of people who live in our communities.
"Young people are the future so it important that we show our commitment by investing in services for them which will have a long lasting impact on a future generation."
