Charleston alpine skier Katie Smith returned from the 2013 Special Olympics Winter Games in South Korea with two bronze medals. And of course, being the gregarious person she is, she managed to get herself interviewed by a Polish television station while there.
Katie has Down syndrome and won her first bronze medal on the first day of competing in the giant slalom event.
Later that day, she and her parents, Rick and Kathy Smith, went to a traditional Korean restaurant with other teammates and their parents and attended a classical music performance by an orchestra of mentally disabled musicians.
"It was simply fantastic and very inspiring — despite our tired girl nodding off toward the end," Kathy said.
The last day of the competitions, Katie won her second bronze medal in the slalom event.
"What a thrilling and nail-biting day for us," the Smiths wrote in an email update. After Katie's' first run, she asked her father how she did. He told her it was her best so far and she was in fourth place. But Katie wasn't satisfied.
"She looked me straight in the eyes and then told me she did not want another ribbon; she wanted another medal. So we told her to go for it and ski a bit faster. She came out of that gate like a bat out of you know where and we could feel her determination from a quarter of a mile away," her mother wrote.
Rick and Kathy said the athletes' pride for their countries, their perseverance and the encouragement from their coaches stood out to them.
"Kathy and I wonder how much better the world would be if we could take the learnings from these terrific athletes and apply it to our everyday lives," Rick said.
Katie has been a local celebrity since returning home Friday. Since she shared her story before her departure, Charlestonian and former Olympic skier Tom Corcoran reached out to her to give her words of encouragement. The pair plan to meet soon.
"Please tell her I'll be pulling for her all the way, win or lose," Corcoran wrote to the Smiths.
Friends and family also surprised her with a celebration Saturday at the Edisto Island Piggly Wiggly where she works on the weekends.
"It came as a total surprise. I was going there to show my boss my medals, and instead it was a big gathering with people from the whole island. It felt great," Katie said. "I was really happy because I'm glad I have supportive friends and family and I loved every minute of that celebration."
She said getting a ribbon on the second day taught her an important lesson.
"I learned that it doesn't matter what you get. Everybody is still so proud of you," she said.
And Katie isn't done just yet. The 27-year-old said she's going to start training for the 2018 winter games in Austria.

economical benefits of my project
i made a file system simulator project which shows the inner workings of a UNIX V7 file system. The simulator reads or creates a file which represents the disk image, and keeps track of allocated and free blocks using a bit map.Also I wrote a number of sample programs which can be used to operate on a simulated file system. The Java programs "ls", "cat", "mkdir", "mkfs", etc., perform file system operations to list directories, display files, create directories, and create (initialize) file systems.now that im done with my project i wonder what are it's economical benefits ??i need this for my project report so please help me out.

Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women Patronage and Literary Production in the Life of Nun Abutsu
by Christina Laffin (Associate Professor of the University of British Columbia)
Friday, November 15, 2013 3:00-4:00 p.m.
Moore 258
This lecture will consider what we know about Japanese noblewomen of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and introduce future avenues for research. Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women: Politics, Personality, and Literary Production in the Life of Nun Abutsu (Hawai'i, 2013) argues that Kamakura-period (1185-1336) court women continued to produce memoirs, tales, poetry, poetic commentary, courtly advice, and epistolary literature and shows how these activities were impacted by shifts in the literary and socio-historical landscape.
In this talk, Laffin will demonstrate what can be gleaned from the life and literary works of one woman, Nun Abutsu (1225-1283, 阿仏尼) while expanding these findings and their implications for literary study and women's history. What can we learn about the status of women, institutional history, and literary patronage based on the extant writings of medieval women? How were women involved in artistic, literary, and religious patronage? Laffin will suggest ways in which our approaches to the study of medieval Japanese literature and women's writings must be adapted to better encompass the range of works and lives represented.
Christina Laffin is an Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Premodern Japanese Literature and Culture at the University of British Columbia. She has recently published Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women (2013) and is currently researching women's education, physical mobility, and the role of wet nurses in twelfth to fourteenth-century Japan. Other publications include The Noh Ominameshi (co-editor, 2003) and Gender and Japanese History (managing editor, 1999).

How Retailer Bankruptcies Affect You
|Email Print
Many people see the retail industry slumping this year because of the continuing credit crisis, meaning Americans can't borrow as much to continue our spendy ways, and increased prices across the board, meaning Americans can't buy as much with the money they still have. Either way, there are only a few ways that a retailer bankruptcy actually affects you. First, let's take a look at what actually happens when a retailer goes bankrupt. Then, we'll talk about how this affects you.
Retailers Going Bankrupt
When a retailer goes bankrupt, it's almost irrelevant to the consumer what type of bankruptcy protection they file for because the effects are the same. Chapter 11 means they want to soldier on, restructure their debts, and try to get back on its feet. Chapter 7 means the business is kaput, everything is going to be liquidated, and there's no hope for the company.
How This Affects You
Gift Cards: Either way, a retailer in bankruptcy protection will see all of its gift cards frozen and made worthless. This is the greatest impact on the consumer and one reason why I argue that you shouldn't hold onto gift cards. When Linens 'n Things and Sharper Image filed bankruptcy earlier this year, both froze gift cards. There are exceptions and those often occur in the case of Chapter 11 bankruptcies, where the retailer will still honor gift cards, because they want to keep good will. If they freeze gift cards but still keep stores open, it's less likely that consumers will shop there after they've been "screwed."
Another scenario is when those gift cards are made worthless by the bankrupt retailer, other retailers may swoop in and offer discounts to those holding the worthless gift cards. It's akin to airlines offering fare discounts to those holding bankrupt airline tickets.
Liquidation Sales: Just because the retailer is going under doesn't mean you'll find any good deals. CompUSA's liquidation sales were awful, Shaper Image liquidation sales were awful, and Bombay liquidation sales were awful. When the items were overpriced in the first place, it's hard to justify paying "normal" price for something you can never return. However, there are always deals to be found if you're diligent but don't expect a fire sale just because the retailer is bankrupt.
Returns: You're probably out of luck on returns with a bankrupt retailer. Any purchases you make after they've declared are definitely not returnable, in fact they will probably put up huge signs in the store indicating "all sales are final" and "no returns." As for purchases before they went bankrupt, you might be able to return it but I doubt it. If the retailer is really going away, there's no reason to accept the return. If the retailer is restructuring, you might be able to return it but I wouldn't bet on it.
A retailer going bankrupt is never a good thing, even if you're a bargain-hunter swooping in, because a lot of people will have lost gift card value (in the case of Linens 'n Things, ~400,000 lost around $42M in gift card value!), the sales will probably suck, and you lose another sales-tax, income-tax paying shop in your neighborhood.

Secrets Revealed: How Magicians Protect Intellectual Property without Law
Jacob Loshin
Yale Law School
July 25, 2007
Intellectual property scholars have begun to explore the curious dynamics of IP's negative spaces, areas in which IP law offers scant protection for innovators, but where innovation nevertheless seems to thrive. Such negative spaces pose a puzzle for the traditional theory of IP, which holds that IP law is necessary to create incentives for innovation.
This paper presents a study of one such negative space which has so far garnered some curiosity but little sustained attention - the world of performing magicians. This paper argues that idiosyncratic dynamics among magicians make traditional copyright, patent, and trade secret law ill-suited to protecting magicians' most valuable intellectual property. Yet, the paper further argues that the magic community has developed its own set of unique IP norms which effectively operate in law's absence. The paper details the structure of these informal norms that protect the creation, dissemination, and performance of magic tricks. The paper also discusses broader implications for IP theory, suggesting that a norm-based approach may offer a promising explanation for the puzzling persistence of some of IP's negative spaces.

Do you know your Ramsars from your elbow?
10 July 2012
The Ramsar conference happening right now in Bucharest, Romania, is a celebration of the only global convention that protects the world's vital wetlands. Ramsar is a big name in the conservation world - but how much do you know about it? Were you aware, for example, that there are more 'Ramsar sites' in the UK than in any other country?
Named after the place where the convention was originally signed in 1971 (Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran), the number of locations designated 'Ramsar sites' has increased dramatically in the past four decades as more and more countries have realised the importance of their wetlands.
WWF is one of the five partner organisations behind the Ramsar convention, along with BirdLife International, IUCN, International Water Management Institute and Wetlands International.
This week's meeting of the members of the 'Convention on Wetlands of International Importance' is a chance to assess progress, share knowledge and experience on technical issues, and plan work for the next three years.
The Ramsar mission is "the conservation and 'wise use' of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution toward achieving sustainable development throughout the world".
Ramsar uses a broad definition of 'wetlands' to include lakes and rivers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands and peatlands, tidal flats, mangroves and coral reefs, as well as human-made sites like reservoirs, rice paddies and fish ponds.
'Wise use' of wetlands is defined as "maintaining their ecological character". Not all Ramsar sites are in protected areas or nature reserves. They're often 'working wetlands', where people live, fish, grow food and transport goods - so there's a high risk of over-exploitation. A Ramsar designation is meant to guard against this.
Worldwide Ramsar sites range from pristine reefs in the Coral Triangle, or the world's largest wetland, South America's Pantanal, to high altitude wetlands in the Himalayas or lakes in Africa's oldest national park, the unique wilderness of Virunga, which is both a UNESCO World Heritage site and a Ramsar site - and is currently under threat from planned oil explorations.
Altogether Ramsar sites cover more than 193 million hectares - that's nearly 2 million km2, or about three times the size of France.
It's a little-known fact that the UK has more Ramsar sites than any other country - about 170 out of the world total of over 2,000. Admittedly 24 of those 170 sites are in overseas UK territories, like Bermuda, or the splendidly named Inaccessible Island in the mid-Atlantic.
As well as the more obvious accumulations of birds and fish, wetlands can also be home to rare reptiles, invertebrates and plants. Not to mention providing services that are essential to human well-being - from fresh water supplies to natural beauty and recreation.
Our latest Living Planet Report made it clear that people are exceeding the planet's ecological limits on all fronts, but freshwater ecosystems are particularly vulnerable and have been the habitats impacted most severely over the past 40 years.
It's also the availability of fresh water that will have the biggest impact on future food, water and energy security.
Fresh water is the lifeblood of our economies and societies - that's why we're consistently calling on governments and businesses to protect and restore freshwater ecosystems.

Picking up a best actress award at Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards for her role as Jasmine, a socialite gone bankrupt thanks to her felonious husband, Blanchett was asked about Blue Jasmine's appeal to both indie and mainstream audiences.
"[Woody Allen] constantly does that with his films, she said, also noting, "He always works on a shoestring."
For instance, "That Birkin that I was carrying was worth more than [designer] Suzy Benzinger's entire costume budget, and I kept throwing it on the ground. She was having conniptions as I was doing it."
Blanchett continued. "I love the process with the costume designer of charting your character's journey through [fashion]."
During her acceptance speech at the Audi and Dark Horse Wine-sponsored Indie Awards event Saturday, Blanchett also said Blue Jasmine "proves that audiences are interested in stories led by women, and that they can in fact make money."
With reporting by GABRIELLE OLYA
The 86th annual Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, airs Sunday, March 2, at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Trio Solutions, a Mount Pleasant-based marketing communications agency, invites Lowcountry-area nonprofit organizations to apply for the seventh annual CreateAthon, scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 14.
CreateAthon is a collaborative, 24-hour creative blitz that changes the impact of nonprofits and the lives of creative thinkers. Trio Solutions, the official CreateAthon agency for the Charleston-metro area, will provide marketing services to Lowcountry nonprofit organizations on a pro-bono basis from 8 a.m. Thursday to 8 a.m. Friday. The selected nonprofits should have little or no marketing budgets.
The deadline for CreateAthon 2013 applications is Friday, Sep. 13. Trio Solutions will select five local organizations and will announce the winners by Sept. 27. Please visit trio-solutions.com/createathon or facebook.com/triosolutions to apply online or download an application.
"CreateAthon gives our team a chance to give back to our community and help organizations share their stories," says Caitlin Ramsey, Trio's CreateAthon coordinator. "Many nonprofits struggle for essential business-related funding and money for marketing is often mistakenly the first to be overlooked. We're honored to offer our time and creative talents to help organizations that make such a positive impact on our community."
CreateAthon was originally created by RIGGS advertising agency out of Columbia in 1997. Since the program's expansion from a single market to an international effort in 2002, 85 agencies have joined the creative network, holding CreateAthon events in their cities. This effort has benefited more than 1,275 nonprofit organizations with approximately 3,200 projects valued at $16.1 million.

The Erie County Legislature wants County Clerk Chris Jacobs to hold off on responding to public information requests regarding the names and addresses of handgun permit holders until the state court system "has made a definitive ruling" on whether that information should be public.
The Legislature unanimously approved a resolution Thursday asking Jacobs to hold off on those requests following broad reaction to an online map published by the Journal News in White Plains that identified permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. That map has since been removed.
A new state law approved earlier this month placed a 120-day moratorium on releasing public data on handgun permit holders while the state sets up a process through which current and new permit holders can request to keep their information private. The law retained language that makes the name and addresses of permit holders public but provides a new opportunity for those permit holders to opt out if, among other reasons, they feel the release of that information would put them in danger.
The Buffalo News on Jan. 9 submitted a Freedom of Information request in Erie County seeking information about gun permits. The News does not intend to publish a database of the names and addresses of people with registered handguns.

A community walk will be held April 25 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the S.C. Statehouse in Columbia. Community walks will also be held April 26 in Greenville and Charleston. Both walks will be from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Greenville event will be held at Falls Park. Charleston's walk will be at Marion Square.
"We're encouraging everyone who works near these sites to participate by wearing comfortable shoes to work and walking for at least 30 minutes during lunch," said Dr. Laura Long, BlueCross' vice president of clinical innovation and population health. "Walking during a lunch break is a great way for all of us to make time for exercise as we juggle work and other commitments that demand so much of our time."
Long said regular moderate exercise, such as brisk walks, can have significant health benefits. Exercise can help people manage weight, strengthen muscles, reduce stress, and lower their risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes.
"National Walk@Lunch Day can mark the start of a commitment to walk every day," she said. "Most of our schedules are built around the workday, so lunchtime walks are designed to fit into — not compete with — our daily routines."
Businesses and schools across the nation organize lunchtime walks for employees and students to mark National Walk@Lunch Day. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina will provide free planning guides and print-ready files for banners, fliers and other promotional materials to help any South Carolina company organize a workplace walk. For more information on these materials, call Glenn Niemiec at 803-264-4612.

Stetson (4-0) remained undefeated on the young season by winning a pair of games Friday in two completely different fashions.
In game one, the Hatters hit two home runs and scored in every inning en route to a 9-0 victory over Elon. In the nightcap, Stetson needed a strong pitching and defensive effort to force extra innings, then scored six times in the top of the eighth to earn a 7-1 victory over Campbell.
Freshman Jessie TenBroeck hit a big three-run triple in the extra frame to help put the game out of reach.
"It was a new pitcher, so we didn't really know much about her," TenBroeck said about her at-bat. "I knew the team was relying on me, it was a big situation with the bases loaded, so I had to pull through."
Sarah Read pitched four strong innings for Stetson before giving way to Meredith Owen (3-0) in the fifth. Owen pitched four scoreless innings of relief, working out of jams in the fifth and the seventh to help force extra innings.
"I thought both games our pitching and defense did an exceptionally good job, and I thought in the second game we just couldn't break the gate and get going with the runs," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "It was the eighth inning before we were in a position to do some damage."
With the international tiebreak rule in effect and Stetson playing as the visiting team, Courtney Brandt singled home Demi Meza to put Stetson ahead 2-1. Jessica Griffin followed with an RBI single off the top of the center field fence, and after Hawn laid down a bunt single to load the bases, TenBroeck split the rightcenter field gap to drive in all three.
"She is very versatile," Frank Griffin said about the 5-foot TenBroeck. "She is a strong young lady. She is small in size but she plays very big."
Read allowed just three hits over four innings in her second start of the year. She struck out two and did not walk a batter. Owen struck out five in relief for her second win of the day.
"I thought Sarah did a real good job," Griffin said. "I felt like it was a good time to bring 'Mo' in and hope we could get one run to win the game. We ended up getting six so it worked out."
In game one, Stetson scored once in the first, twice in the second, once in the third, and five times in the fourth en route to the 9-0 victory. Owen went 2-for-2 with a double, a home run and three RBI to lead the offense. She also pitched all five innings, allowing just three hits for her first shutout of the season.
Morgan Hatch also homered and drove in a pair of runs, while TenBroeck singled twice, stole two bases, including home, and scored twice.
For the day, TenBroeck had five hits including a double and a triple, four runs, three stolen bases, and three RBI. Morello had four hits and two stolen bases.
In other games Friday, Bethune-Cookman defeated Campbell 3-2 and Elon defeated Bethune-Cookman 5-0. The Hatters Invitational continues Saturday with Stetson hosting Campbell and Bethune-Cookman.

I thought it was time to give some love to the chickpea cutlet from Veganomicon, especially after the slight dissing I gave it a while back. The truth is that I really don't use cookbooks much anymore because I am always on the hunt for something new I can post on my blog. But I was in the mood for a breaded chick'n burger and I thought the chickpea cutlet recipe would be a good place to start. You'll have to excuse the picture here and the ridiculous bun--they don't do justice to the taste of the final product which was quite tasty. The kids absolutely loved them. The original recipe is posted here, but here are my modifications.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water

Geron gains access to peptide technology that facilitates movement across the BBB and a Phase II compound.[V. Yakobchuk/Fotolia.com]
Geron obtained a worldwide, exclusive license to Angiochem's peptide technology, which is expected to help anticancer agents move across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The aim is to enable the treatment of primary brain cancers and cancers that have metastasized to the brain.
Angiochem will receive an up-front license fee and is entitled to milestones, royalties, and a share of sublicensing revenues. The deal covers receptor-targeting peptides conjugated to tubulin disassembly inhibitors, including Phase II ready candidate GRN1005 (formerly ANG1005). The firms also entered a research and collaboration agreement to utilize these receptor-targeting peptides to transport telomerase inhibitors into the central nervous system (CNS) and target brain cancer stem cells.
Geron has one clinical telomerase inhibitor candidate, GRN163L, in six early-stage trials as a treatment against a variety of cancers including breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It also has a telomerase cancer vaccine, GRNVAC1, in a Phase II acute myelogenous leukemia study.
GRN1005 completed two Phase I trials in patients with primary brain tumors and in patients with brain metastases from breast and lung cancer. Geron plans on initiating a Phase II trial in the second half of 2011 in patients with brain metastases arising from breast cancer and NSCLC. The company also expects to start a Phase II study in patients with glioblastoma multiforme in the first half of 2012.
The drug is designed to exploit a natural mechanism by which essential substances such as lipids and hormones successfully enter the brain through receptors in the BBB. GRN1005, a taxane derivative, comprises three molecules of paclitaxel linked to a proprietary peptide that targets the lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1), one of the most highly expressed receptors on the surface of the BBB, the companies say. Binding to LRP-1 facilitates receptor mediated transcytosis across the BBB into the brain tissue.
LRP-1 is also up-regulated in many tumors including malignant glioma and metastatic cancers both in the brain and visceral organs. Hence the GRN1005 has the ability to enter tumor cells in the brain as well as in the periphery using the same receptor-mediated pathway.
Telomerase is a critical and broadly applicable tumor target. The enzyme is expressed in a wide range of malignant tumors, and its activity is essential for the indefinite replicative capacity of cancer that enables malignant cell growth. Telomerase has now also been shown to be a target for cancer stem cells.
Preclinical animal studies have shown that administration of GRN1005 led to high concentrations of paclitaxel in the brain, compared to concentrations achieved by administration of naked unconjugated paclitaxel. The compound also demonstrated preliminary evidence of single agent activity against brain metastases arising from a variety of epithelial malignancies including breast cancer, NSCLC, and ovarian cancer.
In the Phase I trial the response rate of patients who received therapeutic doses of GRN1005 was 24% (5/21). At the maximum tolerated dose, the response rate was 42%. Furthermore, 33% of patients previously treated with a taxane responded to treatment with the drug, indicating that it has the potential to be effective against paclitaxel-resistant tumors. In addition to metastases in the brain, responses were also observed in liver and lung metastases in patients who had previously progressed on paclitaxel.
In the Phase I trial in patients with recurrent glioblastoma, 14% responded to the therapy, and two patients achieved a complete response. Therapeutic doses of GRN1005 were present in brain tumor samples taken from patients who had received a single dose of the drug.

NIAGARA FALLS – A Niagara Falls woman was shot in the face Sunday night during a dispute on Cedar Avenue.
Ebony Starks, 25, of Ninth Street was treated and released from Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center after a man shot at her, causing a bullet to graze the left side of her face, Niagara Falls Police Capt. William M. Thomson, chief of detectives, said today.
Starks stepped out of her vehicle at 8 p.m. Sunday on Cedar Avenue near 10th Street to confront two men in another vehicle, who were looking for her boyfriend, Thomson said.
"They apparently had some type of dispute with her boyfriend and she was trying to tell them he wasn't with her and then [one of the men] just shot her," Thomson said.
A male suspect, who has been identified, is still being sought by detectives, he said.

Except that one is public money being spent and the other one is private money and forced government registration. Pretty large difference, don't you think?

Yes, not so much "money" but "keeping the fruits of one's labor" equals Freedom/Liberty.
I won't disagree that government usually has some benevolent motive for spending more money, but their track-record of accountability and efficiency always gives me long pause (particularly on newer enterprises).
In addition, the methodology by which government attains it's revenue, I think should always lead to it spending as little money as possible in the short term (and only on core functions).

Why isn't the contractor named? If they think they did such a good job, then they should surely appreciate the free advertising. If they are at fault, then that should be public, too.

It has been a year since I wrote a column on how, during each month in 2012, I would tackle one project around the house – in addition to the usual chores and upkeep. I figured it was a good way to focus on getting things done, one at a time, without feeling overwhelmed by a long list.
One month it would be closets. Another, framing and hanging photographs.
So, looking back a year later, how did it all work? Was my new month-by-month system a success?
Excuse me while I laugh myself silly.
In truth, it did work. Just not perfectly. Mind you, these were not projects that required crews of workers, heavy equipment and big budgets.
Rather, these were smaller, often do-it-yourself updates and improvements. Over the last 12 months, we have cleaned out and added shelves and cubbies to a couple of closets (last January). Assembled nifty new storage cabinets in the garage (July or was it August?). Updated the family room with new pillows and throws (October). And had the rugs professionally cleaned (November). Not bad.
The trickiest tasks were the ones that were easy to start but even easier to stop midway. These included stripping wallpaper in a bedroom, for example, a project I foolishly began in very hot weather last summer.
Looking back, I realize that most of my planned projects were not completed in one month but rather spilled over from one month to the next.
I was reminded that work and family obligations can bring things to a screeching halt. And that projects – any projects – have a way of getting 95 percent done and then stopping. That final 5 percent – replacing switch plates or hanging artwork – always seems to be delayed.
I've learned there is a right time to do things (cleaning closets in January or before the school year begins) and a wrong time (starting any home project during a holiday week!).
I've also learned that it's always more fun to do things together. Who knew that a 13-year-old would have so many opinions on kitchen faucet finishes? Or the perfect shade of white paint?
Last January in this column, I was dreaming of a month devoted to windows – laundering sheers, fixing broken strings, repainting sills, adding a new treatment or two. I was hoping for another month set aside for organizing photographs and framing and hanging some new prints. Another month for simply fixing broken, chipped or cracked things around the house.
These and other projects did not get done, but that is OK. A lot of them did. Now it's a brand new year, and I'm gearing up for it. I just don't want to have to strip any more wallpaper for a very long time.

TORONTO – Tuesday, when Peter Sellars' production of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" opened at the Four Seasons Centre, expectations were high. No matter that the opera's running time was five hours. The opera house was packed to the fifth tier.
A highlight takes place at the end of Act I, when King Marke arrives – creating a crisis for Tristan and Isolde, now under the influence of the love potion. The house lights went up, King Marke is in the aisle, and he and his henchmen are looking around at all of us as if wondering who is to blame. Wagner's trumpets add to the shock and pageantry.
All the singers, garbed in brooding gray and black, were intense. What a thrill it was to hear Ben Heppner as Tristan. He projected easily, his strength a marvel, his diction a delight. Melanie Diener, as Isolde, was a great match for him – high praise for her. (On Feb. 8 and 23, two other singers star, Margaret Jane Wray and Michael Baba.) Daveda Karanas, with her smoky mezzo-soprano, brought a smoldering energy to the part of Brangaene, Isolde's lady-in-waiting.
A surprise attraction was Alan Held as Tristan's man Kurwenal. Kurwenal is often portrayed as youthful, but Held played a veteran soldier, tall and strong with a shaved head and a voice that demanded attention. He and Heppner could be seen sometimes as thugs, a touch that worked.
The images of video artist Bill Viola added another dimension.
The first act made me question their necessity. We kept seeing a man and a woman, dressed and then fully, frontally nude. The man looked nothing like Heppner. Who were these people?
In subsequent acts, though, things became clearer. Videos of waves crashing, the moon splashing through the trees, and a slow sunrise over a meadow gave a focal point to people unused to Wagner's stream-of-consciousness writing.
One thing the video does particularly well: It solves the ancient problem of zaftig Wagner singers.
Diener, though far from petite, was lighted very well and carried herself with such grace that as the drama went on, she became beautiful. You could not say the same for Heppner. Wonderful as his voice is, he looked unprepossessing. Once, sparring with Melot (a handsome and resonant Ryan McKinny), the great tenor used his belly to push his adversary.
The video could correct this lack of romance. In the final Liebestod, Viola showed Tristan's more slender video doppelganger rising from his casket, passing into the next world. Below the screen, Heppner himself virtually disappeared.
It was ingenious. It was also devastating. I was broadsided by it. Diener appeared like a ghost, like one who is already dead. She began the music in entrancing quiet, then built gradually to soaring heights.
When it was over, it took time to recover. The ravishing music, and the rawness and honesty of this production, added up to something overwhelming.
Sellars, in his program notes, is somewhat out there. Most outlandishly, he asserts that Tristan and King Marke had a homosexual relationship, a claim that has absolutely no basis. But he has clearly taken the opera to heart, and his sincerity showed in his work. "
Pixyish in an orange '70s shirt, Sellars joined the singers and conductor Johannes Debus in multiple curtain calls.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Transfection technology for inserting nucleic acids into cells is getting a boost from novel electroporation techniques, new reagents, and easier-to-use transfection platforms. One leading-edge example is work being done by Virginia Tech associate professor Chang Lu, Ph.D. Dr. Lu's approach eliminates the need for expensive pulse generators, achieves uniform poration over the entire cell surface, and reduces toxicity. The result is reduced cost, higher transfection rates, and improved cell viability.
Dr. Lu's work, presented at CHI's recent "Bioprocessing Summit" is representative of a range of transfection innovations that have reached the market or are moving steadily toward commercialization. Gene delivery and gene-silencing applications in bioprocessing, drug research, and gene therapy are all benefiting.
Dr. Lu's research differs from traditional electroporation in two key ways. Electroporation requires cells to experience an electric field strong enough to cause pore formation and long enough to uptake nucleic acids, but not so strong or long as to kill the cells. In the past, doing this required use of pulse generators, which are expensive and tricky to use.
"We were thinking, what if you could use constant voltage to do that? Perhaps a battery that provides constant DC voltage or a cheap $100–$200 power supply to deliver a voltage that is constant at about 100 or 200 volts," Dr. Lu explained.
Using semiconductor-chip fabrication techniques and microfluidics, his group accomplished the pulsing by varying the width of the channels (wide followed by narrow) through which cells flow. The field intensity experienced by the cells varies depending upon the size of the channel, hence mimicking a pulse, and the duration in the channel is controlled by the cell flow rate.
"In our device we can constantly flow the cells so that we can continuously produce transfected cells. We have demonstrated up to 20 mL per minute of cell samples processed," Dr. Lu said.
A second important benefit is uniform poration over a greater surface area. Usually, the membrane area directly facing the electric poles undergoes the greatest poration. "We introduced a motion based on fluid mechanics that makes the cells rotate in the channel. Since the field is constant, the cells are actually experiencing more uniform treatment in terms of the pulse or the field intensity for every cell."
A broad trend, added Dr. Lu, is continued interest in developing easier and more reliable methods for generating cell lines. "Obviously that requires getting genes incorporated into the chromosome. That's a challenge. We hope our techniques and others will improve the efficiency of doing that. It would be nice to have finer control during delivery."
"Over the past two to three years my lab has been using Baculovirus and BacMam technology for about 80 percent of the work we do," said Kim Stutzman-Engwall, Ph.D., associate research fellow at Pfizer Global R&D Labs. "It's not our exclusive approach; we let the project dictate what method we use, but we are high on BacMam."
The main advantages of BacMam—using double-stranded DNA insect viruses (Baculovirus) to efficiently deliver and express genes in mammalian cells—are that it is fast compared to cell-line creation, consistent in terms of delivery, and able to transduce a wide variety of cells, says Dr. Stutzman-Engwall.
"It takes two to three months to make a stable cell line that's producing the amount of protein you want for assay development. With BacMam we can do that much more quickly and combine both transient and stable cell-line generation with one protocol.
"We make the virus through transfection, which is essentially a transient experiment, and determine if the expressed protein is something we actually want to work on." Pfizer has engineered its BacMam viruses to have antibiotic selection markers. "If we're happy with the transient aspect of the expression, we can treat it as if it is a stable cell line by using selection pressure to select a stable clone."
Dr. Stutzman-Engwall's lab currently supports neuroscience projects and previously supported cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine disease, diabetes, and antibacterials. "We've handled a broad range of projects. We probably use electroporation least and only if it's a cell that is very difficult to transfect or transduce. But I have to say with BacMam we've not found any cells that we can't transduce."
According to Dr. Stutzman-Engwall, "BacMam is more consistent than doing DNA transfection for transient expression. We titer our virus so we know what the titer is and we can do put the exact amount in each time to get the level of expression we want. For example, if you add less virus, you get a lower level of expression—we found this is very useful in assays where you want to see a more physiological response instead of overexpression."

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were seen "hand in hand" this weekend at The Jane Hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, a source tells PEOPLE. The two are currently filming The Bounty in New York City.
"Jen and Gerry went out on Saturday night," says the source, who, noting that the cozy couple were surrounded by such others as Kirsten Dunst, also said Aniston and Butler "had cocktails and … They were hand in hand."
Aniston's rep, however, says the pair were simply out with pals. "Jennifer was out with many others from the film and they were not holding hands," says Stephen Huvane. "Gerry was one of many from the film there."
The newest "in" spot, The Jane has been attracting the likes of Mischa Barton and Kate Winslet, among others.
According to another source, Aniston, 40, and Butler, 39, were also spotted dining on the Lower East Side at Freemans, another hot spot, before cozying up at the hotel lounge.

Convenience Stores in Japan
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Convenience stores are big business in Japan but are looking to upgrade their image, which presented a perfect opportunity for U.S. beef. The checkoff helped fund creation of a 10-item U.S. beef menu for the 9,500-outlet Family Mart – the third-largest convenience chain in the country. The menu includes a bento (lunch) box, rice bowl, salad, sandwich, soba noodle, sushi and soup, and is being actively promoted via in-store point-of-sale materials and to Family Mart's 200,000 website fans and 90,000 Twitter followers.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Lamar Odom to Return to the Clippers Court: Source
The power forward, who was a free agent earlier this year, did not have his contract renewed by the Clippers after a disappointing season. He has also been battling substance abuse issues and marital problems with his wife, Khloé Kardashian.
"He has been talking to them for weeks," a source close to the Kardashian family tells PEOPLE. "He's close to signing. They were definitely apprehensive but Lamar has shown huge improvement over the last few weeks and everyone around him believes he's sober."
Odom, 34, has been trying to get his life back on track since news of his drug addiction broke over the summer and he was arrested for DUI in August.
"He has a great support system. It's all up to him at this point. He's the one who can seriously f––– his life up," the source adds. "But he has the tools to stay sober and he's well-aware that one false move costs him his career."
Odom also struggled with trouble in his four-year marriage to Kardashian, 29, after infidelity rumors surfaced (which he denied) and the pair were living separately.
But the couple, who've been seen together recently, have been "going to therapy together," a second source tells PEOPLE.

I heard of upgrade parts for trex helicopters made by KDS but i didn't realize they made their own helis.. Also, Innova KDS, i thought Innova was a frisbee disc golf maker, I wonder if there is any relation?
I think it is important to point out that even if Harry does carry 18 stone, he has a 'choice' just like the rest of us. He can choose to be a gentleman, he can choose to be slow to anger and quick to compassion, he can choose to be a protector and not a perpetrator, he can choose to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Just ask, what kind of person goes to a public park to brutally beat someone much smaller than himself in front of small children and mothers? I hope Harry can try to imagine this from the view of a bystander--what would he think of such a situation? Having more muscle doesn't make this OK; it makes it worse! Again, try see things from the view of a bystander that just happend along. As the saying goes, with greater power comes greater responsiblity. Time stops for no one, and one day we will all be old and frail--having the wisdom of many years. When we look back on our lives, what do we really want to see?
Often times, what appears to be strength actually weakens, and what appears to be weakness is actually strength.

I just want to thank Kdean for all the help that he has been to me and making this hobby an enjoyable one. He has devoted his time and effort to help people like me that can't afford to spend high dollars on heli's or equipment. I didn't start collective pitch on Walkera,but on Dynam and esky until i had a friend talk me into buying the v400. I knew that it was cheap and needed some upgrades as it was only intention to be a beginner entry helicopter with ease of parts and repair. I also knew that as i went along with the v400, I would get better and opt for more higher quality helicopters. Some walkera helicopters might be considered junk but that's an opinion of one or another,but junk to one can be a jewel to another.My brother has this esky helicopter which i think it's junk, and i have told him of what i think of it. With that said, he is very happy and has FUN with it and he know's my opinion,but we don't argue about it we just have FUN and fly our junk helicopters of which this HOBBY was supposed to be.
After owning 3 different brands of entry level heli's, i thought the walkera v400 was the best product for me,but not for some others. You also won't see me on other threads of helicopters ( like the esky my brother owns) and tell them it's junk,because i know i will be insulting some one there and also what good would it do other than piss other people off? They already have the helicopter and they know what they have so its totally point less to give them my negative opinion of what i think. Even though my opinion is fact to me..It's still just an opinion.
Anywho. I received my navigation lights for both heli's and will install them and take a video of them. The weather is too bad for flying, so i will vid. from the garage.
Belt vs. T.T , All my helis were t.t until i went with an align 500e. ( belt driven ) And was really impressed overall. It is by and large alot less maintenance then a t.t tail. Long story short I'm undecided on the KDS 550 or the goblin 500. Both seem real nice. Going to have to see if santa ( wife) is going to be kool with me blowing another 1k on a heli. ha
So here is my take on the whole situation. And this is the last time i post to this. You can be the judge.
A guy (no names needed) has a bad experience with a certain product/company. He then persuses his pasion to 'bash' the company and its products. He finds another product that he likes, so he is also passionate about pushing that brand. He find a group that does not share his passion for bashing the other company, so he leaves the group. But he is not sastisfied with his efforts to bash the company and the people who do not support his oppinion. So he makes up another identy in the group to use to further his product bashing, and also throw in some personal attacks. He then resurfaces in the group saying he is in no way tied to the 'made up' personal basher. Though they are the only two people i have ever seen use the word 'stone' in place of pound in the thread or anywhere that i have been for that matter. It is definitly not a term we use down here in the bahamas. Anyway, he now continues his bashing in the group, and trying to convince other users that he is a 'bigger man'.
This type of malicious activity, i feel is worth the moderators hearing about, and the banning from the thread.
You be the judge. We are all grown men and women here, and i will like to keep it that way.

Jag review
by Joe from NC | June 6, 2011
This is the quintessential Jaguar. Fantastic lines and styling. Vehicle is a head turner and a pleasurable drive. Engine reliability is sound. Some issues with some parts have been addressed with new part releases but need to find a vehicle that has been well maintained. This is a genuine Coventry, England built model.

After spending over $10,000 in repairs and service for 4 years, the engine conks out...which can be replaced for another $7,000. No thanks. the well earned reputation for mechanical inadequecies is much deserved. The only benefit to the car was the looks...

A Piece of Art with a Smooth, Peformance Kick.
by Bandung Baby from San Diego, CA | March 30, 2010
The most amazing automatic transmission that makes your forget it's not a manual. It doesn't kick down a gear with a nasty thump when accelerating uphill. The exterior speaks for itself. The interior is amazing. The rear seats have plenty of room, the front seats have the snugness of a sport bucket, with the plushness of a Lazy Boy. The reviews that deplore the minimal interior cabin must prefer wasted space that makes other luxury sedans so boxy and unattractive. I'm over six feet and have plenty of headroom.

Great Car!
by JimzJag from Washington, DC | January 16, 2010
I bought this from a member of my family 2 years ago with 78,000 miles on it who bought it new and pampered it. Beyond usual maintenance he had to replace the fuel injectors at about 45,000 miles ($800.00). When I bought it I had to have the interior roof repaired as it was sagging down from the glue losing adhesiveness ($450.00). I use the car for business (financial planner) and it is great! Very comfortable and makes a great impression on clients and at the golf course. A big car..don't expect high performance and handling but if you need it for merging on the highway..the power is there. Beautiful car inside and out with a classy ride. We (my wife and I) LOVE it!!

most costly repairs on a car I've ever owned
by land yacht lover from Detroit, MI | September 22, 2008
I bought this 2001 VDP in March 2007 with approximately 70k miles. After researching the brand and the particular vehicle I thought it was a safe bet to buy. I pampered and treated the car with kid gloves. But every thing on the vehicle begin to break down, the front suspension - $3000 repairs, the back suspension and brakes $2000 in repairs, the cup holder, the windows not fitting tightly, the doors not unlocking...it has been a nightmare. And last but not least, the transmission has blown. I went to the repairman, who told me he had quoted 3 of the same repairs that week! The cost? $4,200. With kids in college and the economy so tight, I have had to put the car in the garage and store it until I can raise the cash and I'm back to driving my wife's old van. Needless to say, I think this car is a totally beautiful piece of mechanical garbage....I was fooled by her beauty, but it has been nothing but a beast. Save your money and your sanity; when you go to the car lot and see that gorgeous body and you hear her beautiful siren call, run, don't walk, run away as fast as you can.

5 Ridiculous Ways People Got Out of Traffic Tickets
When we're pulled over and given a ticket, we dream of fighting The Man and all the injustices he throws our way. We rarely do anything meaningful about it in real life. At most we pay some traffic ticket lawyers to deal with it, because why bother? Just take the money and leave us alone.
But not all of us.
You may think you're going the extra mile to fight your ticket by taking a picture of that STOP sign that isn't really as obscured as you remembered, but whatever work you put in to fighting your ticket pales in comparison to the crazy lengths some people have gone to not have to pay for a traffic violation. These are those people ...
#5. A Physicist Beats a Traffic Violation With a Physics Paper
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
The cop who pulled over Dmitri Krioukov for running a STOP sign didn't realize Krioukov was a dangerous man. Krioukov didn't have a weapon, but he was armed with a Ph.D. in physics and used it at the University of California, San Diego, where he taught physics. So he wrote a physics-laden four-page paper filled with equations, charts, and graphs to prove the ticket was a crock of shit.
Via Arxiv.org
I may not know physics, but I know that's a cleverly disguised middle finger.
In the paper, Krioukov argued that the cop had been tricked into thinking he was seeing him blow past a stop sign due to three conditions specific to the case, as stated in the abstract: "(1) The observer measures not the linear but angular speed of the car; (2) The car decelerates and subsequently accelerates relatively fast; and (3) There is a short-time obstruction of the observer's view of the car by an external object, e.g., another car, at the moment when both cars are near the stop sign."
He followed that up with a whole mess of very convincing sciencey-sounding stuff. I'm dumb, so there's no chance I'm ever going to understand it well enough to explain it. Luckily for Krioukov, the judge didn't get it either and dismissed the ticket after reading the paper. That had to have been his intended purpose. A traffic court judge who sits nakedly under robes all day listening to people argue that a twig made an oncoming school bus difficult to see isn't going to understand a legit physics paper written by a guy who is cited in more physics papers than most of us have brain cells. It's a ran STOP sign, not the Kennedy assassination. So Krioukov probably got some "A" for Effort sprinkled on top of his Benefit of the Doubt, and the ticket was wiped away.
Brand X Pictures/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"My other gavel is a penis."
That's not to say that he loaded four pages with physics gibberish knowing he'd get a pass because it looked right. Krioukov posted the paper online for all to read and challenged the world to find a flaw in his argument. So if you're a disgraced-physics-professor-turned-vigilante-traffic-cop, this is the case you've been waiting for your whole life. Krioukov is the Joker to your Batman, and he's daring you to come and get him.
#4. Man Buys His Old Car Back to Prove He Didn't Speed
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Englishman Dale Lyle could never fully appreciate the exhilarating flirtation with death that is speeding. His Honda Civic was 14 years old, an age where Lyle probably gave some serious thought to Old Yellering that wheezing bucket to end the suffering. And then one day he got a speeding ticket in the mail, which was like telling a mime to shut the fuck up.
Comstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images
A traffic camera allegedly caught Lyle driving 98 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. If found guilty, he would have his license suspended. "I have never driven any car at 98 MPH," he argued. The magistrates' court told him he needed evidence.
Lyle couldn't prove anything without his car, which he had sold before the ticket arrived. So he bought his car back for 600 euros. He then took his car to a professional driver and had it speed-tested on a two-mile circuit track, which cost him another 600 euros. Spending 1,200 euros and going the extra mile (well, two, because of the circuit track) was worth it; he got the results he was looking for: Lyle couldn't have been going 98 MPH, because his Civic's top speed was 85.4 MPH. Everything beyond 85.4 MPH was a faint, beautiful ideal set upon a horizon his car could never reach.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Keep reaching, Dale's car. Keep reaching.
He brought the evidence to the court and the ticket was withdrawn. Boom! Justice. But consider this case a warning: When the machines inevitably rise against us, we're going to have to spend at least 1,200 bucks to bring them down.
#3. Woman Fakes Her Own Death to Avoid a Series of Tickets
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Death is the ultimate problem-solver. Cops can't arrest you if you step in front of a train and get exploded. What are they going to do, slap cuffs on the sponges that soaked up your body-slop? It just sucks that the dying part is so obnoxiously permanent. Luckily, centuries ago, some brilliant scumbag invented lying about being dead, and people have been trying to pull it off ever since. Kimberly Du from Des Moines, Iowa, tried to do it, but ultimately she sucked at being dead.
See, this is why you always learn from dogs.
Du racked up a bountiful array of traffic tickets and refused to pay them. So she wrote a letter to a county judge claiming that she was dead, and then signed the letter with her mom's name. Figuring that she would need at least two pieces of hastily-thrown-together evidence to back up her lie, she forged an obituary and made it look like it was taken from a local newspaper's website. Surprisingly, it worked. For about a month.
Du forgot that even though she was "dead," she was still corporeal. And she forgot that she still sucked at driving. A month after the date on her fake obituary, she was pulled over again. The cop who pulled her over wasn't stupid, unlike Du. He didn't check her file and assign the ticket to "AHHH! G-G-G-GHOOOOSSST!" She was sent to jail, and about now probably wishes she actually were dead.
Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
When she thinks of all that alcohol she poured on the ground in remembrance of herself ...

quote: As the term became common after the introduction of the 80386, it usually implies binary compatibility with the 32-bit instruction set of the 80386. This may sometimes be emphasized as x86-32[5] or x32 to distinguish it either from the original 16-bit "x86-16" or from the 64-bit x86-64. [6] Although most x86 processors used in new personal computers and servers have 64-bit capabilities, to avoid compatibility problems with older computers or systems, the term x86-64 (or x64) is often used to denote 64-bit software, with the term x86 implying only 32-bit. [7][8]
quote: So you're both going to pretend that the convention isn't to use "x86" to refer to 32-bit stuff and "x64" to refer to 64-bit stuff?
quote: illiteratehack writes "10 years ago AMD released its first Opteron processor, the first 64-bit x86 processor . The firm's 64-bit 'extensions' allowed the chip to run existing 32-bit x86 code in a bid to avoid the problems faced by Intel's Itanium processor. However AMD suffered from a lack of native 64-bit software support, with Microsoft's Windows XP 64-bit edition severely hampering its adoption in the workstation market." But it worked out in the end.

Friday night, after an hour in physical therapy, I started my drive...by sitting in traffic. When I finally arrived in Boston around 9:30, M and I headed straight for late night Chinese and a scorpion bowl or two. We came home and watched Our Idiot Brother, which was pretty funny, although M was asleep within the first 10 minutes.
Saturday, we woke up to snow flurries, but that didn't stop us from heading to Marshall's and Ocean State Job Lot to do a little shopping. I picked up some great deals before we headed to Pizzing's for beers, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeno poppers to watch the Syracuse game.
PJ's Country House, so he wanted to take me there to eat. He always raved about how good their Delmonico potatoes were, and they were even better than I could have imagined. As an appetizer we got oysters on the half shell, and then I decided I needed to try some popovers too!
Dave & Buster's. I had never been before, so I didn't know what to expect. But I ended up loving the fact that it was like a big kid's playground: booze and games in one place.
|M & I at Dave & Buster's
The drive home was smooth sailing, and I stopped at my parents' for dinner before having my dad help me unload the car into the house. I unpacked a lot of what M sent back here with me, but still have a little more to put away before the weekend.

Read AAI's new Report on Gender Imbalance!
The report addresses gender imbalance in the atheist / humanist community, its causes, and possible solutions to solving it. In today's modernist world with recognized human rights for women as outlined in the UN's Convention on Women's Rights, AAI believes that gender imbalance, both in our own communities as well as in the general populace, is an important issue for atheists to embrace and work to overcome as part of our responsibility to our humanity.
