Trip Start Jul 31, 2005

WEll I left Shinjuku for Nagoya on the higway bus. THe bus was nice. A double decker and lot of room! It took 6 hours to get to Nagoya. THe bus would stop every 2 hours for rest stops. But he would only stop for 10 mintues..so I had to be quick not to get left. It seemed that he would always leave after I came. Oopss.. At the end he put the messages in ENglish. The ride was fun. I woke up the first time and there were mountains outside!
I arrived in Nagoya around 7ish or so. Kazuno was waiting for me. It was good to see her again. she passed both of her examinations for her teaching certification and has to go to Tokyo the beginning of September for another part of the process..she has to sing and play the piano for the Elementary certification. Her house looks the same. It was nice to see her parents. THey bought me my own slippers cause they remembered I bought my own when I was there. How embarrassing. Her mom made a delicious meal. We had famous dishes from Nagoya. Pork ton katsu with miso sauce and then a noodle dish with peppers and sausage. It We had grapes for dessert. I forgot that Japanese people don't eat the skin of the grapes. I tried to just eat the insides..it is tricky. I showed them pictures of everyone back home to update them on their lives.
We went to bed around 11 p.m. cause we had to get up at like 6:30ish to get to the Expo early before the crowds.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
In HIV immunity, factors that potentially distinguish between protective and ineffective anti-HIV-1 immune responses and control disease progression relate to epitope-MHC binding as well as stability and affinity. Researchers at ProImmune recently supported a study carried out by Samantha Westrop and her colleagues at Imperial College to examine the details of HIV-1 CD8+ T-cell epitope recognition. This study used rapid peptide synthesis, Reveal binding and affinity assays, and ProVE Pentamer synthesis in conjunction with flow cytometry, as well as ELISpot analyses to discover new T-cell epitopes for HIV-1.
The rate of HIV-1 disease progression is also influenced by the genetic profile of an individual. For example, individuals with HLA-B35 and HLA-B8 profiles have been associated with an increased rate of disease progression in HIV-1+ infections. To discover possible reasons for this rapid disease progression, ProImmune's methods were used to investigate the HIV-1 Gag peptide-specific CD8+ T-cell immune response mounted by HLA-B35+ individuals. Initially, forty-four 9-mer HIV-1 Gag peptides were synthesized as a PEPscreen® Custom Peptide Library, and were assessed for binding to B*35:01 using the Reveal MHC-peptide binding assay.
The results implicated 12 peptides as potential epitopes (Figure 1), and these were further analyzed with the Reveal rate assay to determine their rates of dissociation from the MHC complex. Two of the 9-mer peptides, YPLTSLRSL (peptide 1) and HPVHAGPIA (peptide 8) were found to form a stable complex with B*35:01, indicating that these may be potential novel epitopes.
Pro5® MHC Class I Pentamer staining was then carried out on patient samples, which confirmed the presence of a well-defined Pentamer+/CD8+ population for the B*35:01/HPVHAGPIA epitope (Figure 2). Additionally, no naïve or central memory T cells specific for the HPVHAGPIA peptide were found, indicating a lack of proliferative potential in infected HIV-1+ individuals. Further validation with ELISpot assays showed that the HPVHAGPIA peptide elicited the highest ex vivo response of the peptides studied.
Additionally, using the Reveal and ProVE system, a previously unknown epitope was identified, which may be involved in an immune response in B*35:01-positive individuals. The results of this study advance our understanding of HIV-1 immunopathogenesis and disease progression and contribute toward the ultimate goal of vaccine development.
ProImmune's rapid antigen-characterization platform encompasses complementary B- and T-cell epitope discovery systems and functional cellular assays such as T-cell proliferation and ELISpot. Not only do these technologies characterize antigenicity of proteins in terms of T- and B-cell responses and allow ranking and selection as part of the overall epitope identification effort, but they also establish the key biomarkers for measuring responses in downstream clinical work.

LOVE the curtains, looks very elegant and vintage.
I love the look and quality of this curtain. The only thing I did not like is that the hem is scalloped. I did not realize this looking at them on line and I have tall windows in my old home that they are not really long enough. The shorter part of the hem is above the window sill and I don't like that. I like them so much though that I will probably move to another room. These are in the dining room and need to be longer I wish they came in a longer panel but unfortunately then don't. I would recommend these beautiful curtains but do consider the scalloped hem when measuring out your window.
I looked a long time for lace curtains to finish my very Victorian bedroom. These panels and the jabots are pure "class". Exactly what I was looking for. They are so well constructed with a beautiful lace fabric. Love, love, love them!

Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Partnership covers development of Parkinson disease candidates SYN-115 and SYN-118.[Kay Ransom/Fotolia.com]
UCB has taken a $20 million equity stake in Swiss biotherapeutics firm Synosia as part of a deal centered on development of the latter's Phase II-stage movement disorder candidates, SYN-115 and SYN-118. The investment by UCB formed part of Synosia's Series C financing round, which included a further $10 million investment by the firm's existing stakeholders.
Synosia will in addition receive an up-front fee and potentially another $725 million in milestones as part the drug development and commercialization deal, which gives UCB worldwide exclusive rights to the orally bioavailable adenosine 2A antagonist SYN-115, and rights to SYN-118 for nonorphan indications. Both candidates are currently in Phase II trials for the treatment of Parkinson disease.
SYN-115 has been licensed in by Synosia from Roche for development in all indications. SYN 118 is a 4 hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor that is already marketed by Swedish Orphan as Orfadin® for the treatment of hereditary tyrosinemia. Synosia licensed rights to SYN-118 from Syngenta in 2007 for development and commercialization in nonorphan diseases.
Under terms of the deal with UCB, Synosia will continue development of both candidates through to the end of Phase II development. UCB will take over for Phase III clinical development and commercialization. Additional compounds from either partner's pipeline may also be brought into the collaboration, under mutual agreement and negotiation, with Synosia again being responsible for clinical development until the end of Phase II.
"Given the novel mechanisms and encouraging results for SYN-115 and SYN-118, as well as the financial structure of our agreement with UCB, this partnership has the potential to be a big value driver for Synosia while providing valuable new therapies for patients with movement disorders," comments Ian Massey, Ph.D., president and CEO at the company.
In April Synosia reported positive data from a Phase IIa study with SYN-115 in Parkinson disease patients. The trial data showed the drug resulted in functional activity in relevant regions of the brain assessed using fMRI, and had positive effects on clinical measures of motor function and cognition.
At the end of September the firm reported data from an open-label clinical study with SYN-118, which showed the drug provided clinically meaningful benefits to Parkinson's patients, demonstrated a good safety profile, and was well tolerated. The 28-day trial showed that patients treated with SYN-118 demonstrated statistically significant improvements in motor symptoms compared with baseline scores, as measured by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale item III (motor function). Treatment using SYN-118 also resulted in a statistically significant signal by positron emission tomography imaging in brain regions relevant to Parkinson disease, Synosia claims.
The firm's current development pipeline includes another three candidates in Phase I or Phase II clinical development. SYN-114 and SYN-120 are 5-HT6 inhibitors targeting Alzheimer disease and cognitive disorders. SYN-117 is a dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitor in development for the potential treatment of drug dependency and post-traumatic stress disorder. SYN-111 is a sodium channel blocker being developed for the treatment of bipolar disorder.
Synosia and Roche inked their original multidrug development agreement back in 2007. Under terms of the deal Synosia assumed responsibility for clinical development of five drug candidates in CNS: the dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitor nepicastat; an A2a antagonist; a 5-HT6 antagonist; an IP inhibitor; and an mGluR1 enhancer. The firms expanded their deal in 2009 to include a second 5-HT6 antagonist. They also revised terms of the collaboration to give Synosia full development and commercialization rights to all relevant programs, with Roche retaining opt-in rights to the 5-HT6 program.

The Charge of the Light Brigade
Posted on Nov 30, 2009
Perhaps inspired by reports that President Obama plans to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, Gordon Brown said Monday that Great Britain would deploy an additional 500 soldiers to the region.
We've come to expect these sorts of proportions as American presidents have dressed their wars in the costume of multinational cooperation—not to diminish the efforts of the two troops deployed by Iceland to Iraq or the 40 Estonians in George W. Bush's coalition of the willing.
The NATO effort in Afghanistan, now Obama's war, is made up mostly of Americans—nearly seven of every 10 soldiers.
That disparity will only grow if America sends 60 times as many reinforcements as its allies. —PZS

What would we do with the money if we didn't spend it in Afghanistan? We could avoid living with crumbling infa-structure, we could provide continuing education, we could have national health care, we could not be guilty of un-necessary cruelty and murder.
Yes, we could.

This is an extensively revised edition of the first American textbook on child psychiatry, published originally in 1935. In it one finds the bons mots, humorous anecdotes and apt case studies which characterize the author as a teacher. As one reads the book one can almost smell the smoke of the cigar which is so much a part of the Kanner profile.
This edition is more easily read than its predecessor because it does not contain the complicated and confusing (for the average reader) terminology of the psychobiologic formulations conceived by Dr. Adolph Meyer, and because Kanner has taken a more conciliatory attitude toward psychoanalytic concepts. The attacks on psychoanalysis which marred the first edition have been deleted; psychoanalytic principles are presented, but it is unfortunate that condensation in this part of the presentation has fostered incompleteness so that whether the material as written here will have value to the

momedx, collaborating with Family Scholar House
http://momedx.com, www.familyscholarhouse.org
Location: Boston, MA & Louisville, KY
momedx is a Boston-based startup that is creating highly innovative technology for intuitively defining customized, flexible protocols in the clinical setting, offering ways for clinicians and patients to share data using mobile technologies. Founded by an MIT PhD (Neuroscience, Course 9) and former staff member of the IDEAS competition, the company's technology is based on original research in visual neuroscience conducted at MIT.
momedx is collaborating with Family Scholar House (FSH), a non-profit serving the Louisville, Kentucky area. FSH provides housing and step-by-step mentoring and support to single-parent households whose breadwinner is pursuing a college degree. One key aspect of the support provided to these families is medical care, which is the focus of our collaboration.
Due to local environmental and other factors, the children in the families served by Family Scholar House have a very high prevalence of asthma (almost 70% of the child population) and other chronic health conditions. Improper usage of medications, inadequate preventive measures, and lack of early intervention lead to frequent emergency room visit, where symptoms are treated, instead of the root issues. These frequent trips to the hospital affect the health of the children and the ability of the degree-seeking parent to concentrate on their studies as well as the ability to faithfully attend classes.
Family Scholar House provides regular medical workshops in person, but the resources are inadequate to sustain the level of supervision that would lead to a much higher impact. momedx is providing a technological solution to greatly broaden the impact of FSH's medical intervention. We are seeking the talents of MIT students to help us:
(1) determine the best workflow to coordinate the use of technology with the clinical staff;
(2) monitor project progress and calculate success metrics;
(3) assess areas of the technology needing improvement;
(4) identify new opportunities for the expansion of similar offerings to other clinical settings.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone who wants to get into the field of health technology from the perspective of implementation in real-world settings.
This position requires proficiency in the use and understanding of mobile technologies (smartphone, iPad), though it requires no particular software development experience. Strong oral and written communication skills are a must; good analytical skills are also required. Any experience in project management or coordination is a plus. Applicants should be reliable, responsive, and professional.
This project is on-going, starting around mid-November. A part-time commitment during the late-Fall and Winter semester is desirable. A near full-time commitment around IAP is preferred. Some travel to Louisville may be optional and will likely be for just a few days.

Skunk: The better thread was when Tamara told him to pull his pants up (he was showing how he could crouch and move around, while his boxers were showing due to not wearing a belt) and to not worry about dinging up the buttstock when dropping to prone.

Skunk: I cant find it, I tried searching several different times (searching his user name and 'Knight', Tamara and 'pants' and a few other combos that should have brought it up) to no avail, but I also couldnt find his other posts; he and Uglygun got in it pretty good about how stupid it was to remove the front sight base for cleaning.

DESTIN, Fla. — The SEC finds itself in an enviable position considering the nature of the national college athletics landscape. It's one of the Big Boys, perhaps the biggest of the Big Boys.
That's based on reputation, financial stability, competition, TV revenue and exposure, the talent level of its athletes and coaches, fan base and good, old-fashioned perception. So when other leagues talk about possible expansion, the SEC doesn't have to join in the conversation. It's sitting pretty right where it is.
But that doesn't mean the league shouldn't consider adding a couple of teams to its roster.
In fact, right now might be the time to do just that. Commissioner Mike Slive says the SEC will be "strategic and thoughtful" in how it approaches possible expansion, adding that the subject will be discussed again today when the league's presidents and athletics directors meet. But he has refused to comment on the subject beyond the "strategic and thoughtful" considerations, adding it's difficult to discuss such matters when there's a new story or rumored move every day.
The thinking among SEC officials seems to be if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That philosophy makes sense. But when it seems a certainty there will be movement of some kind by at least two leagues, the Pac-10 and Big Ten, in regard to expansion, perhaps there should be some consideration toward being proactive.
The best way to do that is by looking west and seeing if Texas and Texas A&M would be interested in moving into the neighborhood.
It's the most logical move. It adds two solid programs..
Alabama and the Longhorns played for the national football title last season. Texas and LSU's baseball teams met in the title game of the College World Series. LSU and A&M have had a long-standing rivalry and Texas-Arkansas may have been the best rivalry in the old Southwest Conference.
Alabama fans need not be reminded that former football coaches Bear Bryant and Gene Stallings, who both led the Crimson Tide to national titles, have strong A&M ties. Auburn football coach Gene Chizik used to be a member of the Texas staff. It all fits, it all makes sense and it would work.
Why wait on other leagues to make the first move? If the SEC added Texas and Texas A&M to its lineup, it would add strength, stability and a lot of other pluses to a league that's already pretty darn good.

LSU announced Thursday that Larry Clark, current dean of University of North Carolina Wilmington business school, has been chosen as LSU Shreveport's next chancellor.
Pending approval by the LSU Board of Supervisors, Clark will begin as LSUS chancellor on July 1.
"We are pleased to welcome Larry Clark as chancellor of LSU Shreveport and to the LSU leadership team," LSU President and Chancellor F. King Alexander said in a news release. "Dean Clark has extensive experience at numerous public universities as dean, including LSUS. We look forward to working with him in serving the educational and economic development needs of North Louisiana."
Clark earned the Juris Doctor from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago.
He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in economics and business administration from Knox College in Illinois and Master of Laws in Taxation from the DePaul University School of Law.
Clark, however, is familiar with LSUS.
He served as a business law professor at the Shreveport campus in 1981. He also chaired the department of management and marketing from 1983-1985 and served as dean of the LSUS College of Business from 1985 to 1994.
"It is a privilege to be able to return as chancellor of LSU Shreveport," Clark says in the release. "I know and respect the LSUS mission, culture and journey – and that of the region. I am eager to begin building strong, innovative teams to grow the university and to more effectively serve both students and the communities of Northwest Louisiana."

Our transactionally aware DataSources will deliver a connection in that mode, if
asked for a connection in the context of a weblogic-coordinated transaction, such
as if you start a UserTransaction, or in tx-required EJBs etc.
Otherwise, the connection will be in the JDBC spec default autoCommit(true) mode.

Hi! My name is Buggie
I am an American Bobtail from Marion, KY
Nicknames: Lil' Buggar thus the name Buggie.
Age: 10 years old
Gender: M
Coat: short haired
Education: Buggie loves to play fetch especially with a small paperwad. He can hear the paper rattle when I come home from the store and he gets down and tries to hide until I lauch the wadded up receipt into the air and then he is on it! Catches it mid air and brings it to me to do all over again. We love it.
My favorite tricks and treats are: Plays fetch and loves flowers! and Catnip flavored treats
Where I hang out: On top of the bed after mommy has made the bed of course.But if she is in bed and it is colder than I like I'm getting under the electric blanket with her. I'm no dummy!
My favorite grubs: Veal, then Chicken, then Tuna, then Beef. He'll take them all!
My pet peeves: Hates to share the window perch with "the other cat". Will not use the litter box in the morning until I have cleaned it out. So he is the alarm clock every morning promptly at 7 a.m.
What I love about my owners: Let's see she loves,feeds me, spends much time with me and puts up with all my spoiled behavior which is of course her fault.
My cat hobbies: Eat, Sleep, Be Petted, oh and SPOILED!
Pet motto: Who needs a dog when I'm smarter and better looking! Besides there's proof that cat's are smarter than dogs. Have you ever seen a bunch of cats pulling a sled in the snow? Not gonna happen!

My friends found him crying in the shrubs outside their home and called me to take him. He was only 3 weeks old according to the vet and I nestled him just like a baby and feed him from a premie bottle. Thus part of the reason he is so spoiled.

The volume opens with chapters on the epidemiology of diabetes by Walker and the genetic aspects of diabetes in the Chinese hamster by Yerganian. Ogilvie and Lacy contribute descriptions of the morphology of the diabetic pancreas and its beta cells. A section on the biosynthesis and secretion of insulin includes chapters by Taylor, Renold, Fajans, and Randle. Renold and Hales write on plasma insulin, and various types of insulin antagonism are discussed by Kipnis, Randle, Vallance-Owen, Bornstein, and Butterfield.

Purpose of review: Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), lacking estrogen receptor expression and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 amplification, have no effective targeted therapy. Large-scale comprehensive genomic analyses have allowed stratification of TNBCs by molecular features. We will review the recent data regarding the classification of these poor prognosis cancers and the associated potential targeted treatment approaches.
Recent findings: TNBCs are a heterogeneous set of cancers characterized by a diverse set of gene-expression patterns and underlying genomic changes. Mutations in p53 are the only genomic alteration present in the majority of TNBCs. Other potential targetable alterations are only present in small subsets of TNBCs, and include defects in DNA repair present in BRCA1-mutant TNBCs and some sporadic TNBCs. Antiandrogens may be effective for TNBCs that express the androgen receptor and have luminal-like gene-expression features. PI3KCA pathway inhibitors and HSP90 inhibitors may also be effective in a small fraction of TNBCs.
Summary: Robust methods to functionally classify TNBCs to determine vulnerable pathways are urgently needed to guide the development of clinical trials. It is quite possible that TNBCs, like non-small cell lung cancer, will be stratified into many individually rare cancer classes, each requiring a distinct treatment approach.

Beware McDonald's Monopoly Trading Scams
|Email Print
The McDonald's Monopoly game is one of the biggest company-sponsored contests out there. Each year, millions play the game, millions win, and it's become a bit of a magnet for scammers. One of the things that always happens is that our post discussing How to Win the McDonald's Monopoly Game garners a ton of comments and we try our best to weed out the scammers. Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of comments, we can't keep an eye on everything (and we can't see what happens off the site), so I wanted to put together a brief guide to avoiding scams.
It's actually quite simple.
Don't trade with anyone ever.
Why Shouldn't We Trade?
You might be tempted to ask why we shouldn't crowdsource, share pieces, and increase our odds of winning? Your odds don't improve with crowdsourcing based on how the game is constructed. Each monopoly (set of properties) there is one rare piece. The most "common" of those pieces is Mediterranean Avenue and that's 1 in 152.5 million. The common pieces are all like 1 in 11.
As I was writing this, I have entered around 150 codes from the 200 hash browns as part of our Mail-in vs. Hash Brown Challenge, and I've gotten all the common pieces at least once. In fact, I have at least three of each common piece.
If you have a rare piece, you can buy enough hash browns to get the common pieces you need. The most inexpensive prize is $1,000 and if you have Mediterranean Ave, you can buy enough hash browns until you get Baltic. If you have Vermone Ave for $5,000 – you can buy your way to victory with 100% assurances you won't have to spend much to get there.
This Means All Traders Are Scammers
Or they just don't know how the game works, which may be worse.
Top Prize is on a Big Mac
And just so you know, you can never find a Boardwalk without having Park Place right next to it and it only appears on a Big Mac. You will not get a Boardwalk on hash browns, medium drink, or through the mail. It's in the rules:
(viii) Collect Park Place (#451) and Boardwalk (#452) to win a prize of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000*). Two (2) prizes are available (*payable $50,000/year for 20 years, without interest). The approximate odds of collecting Park Place are 1 in 11; the approximate odds of collecting Boardwalk are 1 in 602,490,060; the approximate odds of collecting the Winning Combination (Park Place and Boardwalk) are 1 in 3,050,412,898; the approximate odds of collecting the Winning Combination (Park Place and Boardwalk) found on Big Mac are 1 in 37,955,000.
So they don't explicitly state that it's together on a Big Mac but they don't use those terms for any other prize. There have also been anecdotal stories about how the winners found both pieces together.
Rules Forbid Trading, Selling
Finally, if that wasn't enough, the rules forbid the trading and selling of game pieces:
The purchase, sale, trading, or barter of Game Pieces, Game Stamps, FREE Codes or Game Codes via online or live auctions, or any other method, does not constitute Legitimate Channels and is expressly prohibited.
So in theory, if they somehow figured out you traded or purchased the common game piece, you could potentially lose your prize. It would be terrible to lose $1,000 because you paid someone $5 for their Baltic.
We hope this was useful and enjoy the game!

WASHINGTON - Some thought Barack Obama's nominee for attorney general might have the toughest time getting confirmed.
But at his Senate confirmation hearing, Thursday, Eric Holder went a ways towards defusing criticism of the most controversial issue hanging over his head --pushing the pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich during the last days of the Clinton administration.
Holder admitted error, telling the senators, "My conduct...my actions...in the Rich matter was a place where I made mistakes."
But Republican senators like Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter wanted more.
"It's hard to brush it off," he said. "It seems to me as a mistake."
On another matter of great controversy in Washington -waterboarding- Holder was plain-spoken, signaling a forceful break from the way the Bush administration sometimes handled terrorist suspects.
Near the start of the hearing, Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy asked Holder if he agreed with him that waterboarding is torture and illegal.
"If you look at the history of the use of that technique, used by the Khmer Rouge, used in the Inquisition, used by the Japanese and prosecuted by us as war crimes," Holder began, "we prosecuted our own soldiers for using it in Vietnam. I agree with you, Mr. Chairman. Waterboarding is torture."
His response could leave some interrogators and Bush administration officials nervous about whether a Justice Department headed by Holder might someday come after them.

Jon Stewart and Crew Give it Up For AutismHeather Turgeon
Jon Stewart hosts a benefit for autism eduction this Thursday night. The TV event, "A Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert for Autism Education" will raise money for autism education and family services programs around the country.
Comedy Central gives us a sneak peak at the show and it looks well worth the watch — watching Jon Stewart alone for 2 hours would be enough for me — but, for example, Chris Rock auctioned off the chance to have him cuss out your ex, and Steve Carell sold the chance to have him hold your hand while he recreates the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally — two lucky ladies on stage for that.
Since 2006, the show has raised $7 million for the cause. Bringing together the extensive line-up of stars (see below) is former writer and producer for "Saturday Night Live" Robert Smigel, whose son is on the severe end of the autism spectrum.
The show is taped live from the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan.
Here's the line up of comedians:
Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, Adam Sandler, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Sarah Silverman and more — hence the name, "too many stars."
Oh, and special appearances that are too many to name, but include Temple Grandin!
Catch the 2 hour event on Comedy Central this Thursday, October 21 at 9pm ET/PT.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Wednesday urged all to get united against killers of democracy.
"We all must get united to thwart conspiracies by the evil forces of democracy killers," she said in a message issued on the occasion of Shaheed Dr Milon Day commemorating his 24th death anniversary.
On November 27, 1990, the cadres of then autocratic ruler HM Ershad gunned down Dr Milon, the then joint secretary of Bangladesh Medical Association, on Dhaka University campus.
Different socio-political and cultural organizations have chalked out elaborate programs to observe the day.
Khaleda alleged that the one-party rule, reestablished by killing democracy through the Januaray-5 'voter-less' election, has also blocked the path of progress of multiparty democracy.
Mentioning that Dr Milon embraced martyrdom to save democracy from the shackle of autocratic rule, she said his sacrifice will be successful if democracy gets a strong footing.
"He (Milon) is our source of inspiration in the struggle and movement against all authoritarian and autocratic and anti-democracy forces."
Khaleda, also a former Prime Minister, prayed for salvation of the departed soul of Milon.

How To Conserve Gas While Driving
|Email Print
Gas is too freaking expensive and everyone has their tips for saving gas, though none of it seems to be substantiated by numbers. Well we're going to peg numbers to these "gas saving techniques" and convert it to dollars so you know how much more per tank you're paying. We won't be able to prove our percentage wasted/gained numbers but then again no one can either unless you want to wade through a lot of calculations about coefficient of drag and other terms. We will, however, calculate gas at the rate of $1.93 which is the average retail price of all three grades as of 2/22/05.
Quantifiable Tips:
- Don't Drive Fast: The faster you drive, the greater your aerodynamic drag and thus the greater your gas consumption. The optimal speed appears to be somewhere around 65 mph and the general belief is every ten mph increase will probably reduce your consumption by around 10-15%, or 19-29 cents.
- Close Your Windows: This is aerodynamic drag again, expect to save around 10% on the highway, or 19 cents.
- Use Air Conditioning Sparingly: This puts more load on the engine, which makes it use about 20% more fuel, or 39 cents.
- Properly Inflate Tires: Round tires roll more easily than square tires so make sure they're inflated to spec. They say a single tire under inflated by 2 PSI result in increased fuel consumption by 1%, or 2 cents. (Plus it leads to uneven wear and more frequent replacement of that tire, which is going to be expensive)
- Even Acceleration: Easy there tomcat, don't gun it because it uses more gas, as much as 20% more or a psychologically maddening 39 cents. If you're in a hurry, just set back your watch and you'll be there before you left.
- Fill Up Right: Unless your car manual says use higher octane fuel, don't. You won't get any benefit from using the more expensive juice, it's just a waste of money.
- Windows or AC Breakeven Point: The widely held breakeven point for whether you should turn on your AC or roll down your windows is 45 m.p.h. While this will vary between vehicles, the belief is at 45 degrees the additional gas needed to fight against wind resistance equals the amount of gas expended by operating the air conditioning system. I believe they did this on an episode of Mythbusters but I can't find it. (added 9/1/05)
Not-So-Quantifiable Tips:
- Lighten Your Load: Empty the trunk and lose some weight, the more you carry the more fuel it'll use. Lose some weight too.
- Service Your Car: Your fuel economy will drop if you have dirty air filters, old oil, old spark plugs, old belts, or other low fluid levels. Keep it in tip top shape and save on your gas and maintenance bills.
- Drafting: If you are on the highway and you have the guts to do so, get up close behind a truck and draft. NASCAR guys do it so you should too, just remember to brake whenever the truck does. 🙂 Actually, this is a dangerous practiceas some have noted, but if you actually do wish to draft, you can do it safely by being several car lengths behind a large truck/semi.
- Limit Braking: When you brake, you often will need to hit the gas again to get going. Try to look ahead and brake intelligently to reduce how much you need to accelerate.
- Tighten The Gas Cap: Gasoline will evaporate, if you don't seal up that gas tank it will leak out. The Car Care Council estimates that 147 million gallons of gas a year will be lost to evaporation… that's absolutely ridiculous and dumb as balls.
Use some or all of these tips and save what you can, gas prices are insane these days and will probably only go up. Or swap your car for one of those hybrids or purely electrical cars and get the tax break along with the fuel breaks.{ 6 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The Ten Commitments (Commandments) for Marriage ---adapted from D. James Kennedy
"Thou shalt have no other human being before your husband or your wife." No other human being should come before your mate - no one, neither father nor mother, son nor daughter, brother nor sister, friend nor acquaintance.
"Thou shalt put no thing before your husband or wife." You should put no thing between each other. No house should ever come before your spouse. Whether house, car, pleasure, money, or fame - nothing."
"Thou shalt not belittle, criticize or faultfind, but rather encourage your spouse in all ways." Since God's Word teaches us to make no idols, it follows that we are to honor each other's name. Honor each other and seek to put each other first above any other person on earth.
"Thou shalt remember her/his day, to keep it special." Set time aside for the two of you so you may not grow apart but even closer. Your spouse and your children are worthy of your time and your undivided attention.
"Thou shalt give honor not only to your father and mother, but to those who become your father-in-law and mother-in-law." As you two become one, you marry into another family. Wise is the husband or wife who does not take it upon himself or herslef to find fault with those who are related to their spouse.
"Thou shalt not destroy the spirit within your spouse." Husbands, do not destroy your bride's dreams and hopes for the future which she now places in your hands. Most of man's earthly happiness depends upon his wife. Most assuredly God will bless a man in this life, yet John Wesley discovered that, regardless of a noble cause, a woman can make a man most miserable. Wife, covenant that you will not be such a person. Both of you must honor and build up the personhood of the other.
"Thou shalt give your passions only to each other, not to another." You should not give away your passions to another in word, in thought, or in deed. This person beside whom you stand on your wedding day is to be your lover as well as your helpmate and your best friend.
"Husband, steal not from your wife that which is her privilege to give. Wife, receive what he gives to you with gratitude". The spirit of gratitude can greatly can greatly bless a home. If your minds are filled with thoughts of gratitude, and if you look on that which you do have and not that which you do not have, you will be blessed.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness to each other." Be honest with each other. Dishonesty and an unwillingness to talk through differences build a silent wall which is not easily dismantled. The real self, then, refuses to be disclosed, and a couple may gradually begin to drift apart.
"Thou shalt not seek greener pastures, whether they be those things physical or material." Do no engage in selfish fantasies. Be content with the one whom God has given to you, and God will bless your lives together.

I have had some great students so far at SCAD and my not posting their work
here previously is not about the quality of previous work, but more about
the total story of their work. In the last 10 weeks, I have been privileged
to work with 2 classes (my own graduate interaction design class and an
industrial design class led by Verena Paepcke-Hjeltness). Our classes were
sponsored by Freescale (a chip manufacturer) and we were tasked with
re-envisioning the smartbook market with a keen eye towards tweens, teens
and some adult niche markets.
The class started out with some discount contextual research methods and
then went into design criteria development and then ideation and refinement.
The assets of this pretty big story are all available online at
I'd love to get your comments here or even better on the site.
As a side note, I've been hot/cold on Personas, but I have to say that using
them as A PART of the research analysis stage as one of many other models
made a huge difference. They are best for having distinct and agreed upon
characters for scenario development (which you can see in video form from
the above link). I've been using them a lot in the classroom environment and
it has overwhelmingly aided students in there designs almost w/o exception.
Some of my students are graduating today, so I'll take this public moment to
congratulate them all!!! Mazel Tov!

Brothers Sign In Here
In 1921, Alpha Chi Mu was founded at Bucknell as a local fraternity. It grew and flourished until World War II, and as was the case at many fraternities throughout the United States, it became inactive. In September of 1946, the veterans returned to Bucknell and Alpha Chi Mu was reactivated. A desire was expressed to affiliate the local fraternity with a prestigious national organization. This national fraternity was Tau Kappa Epsilon, and they submitted a petition to charter. After several months of colony status, they were installed as the Beta Mu chapter on December 7, 1947 in Bucknell Hall.
In 1948, enough money was raised for the acquisition of a house on South Seventh Street. This house on Seventh Street was improved and used until 1962, when the first portions of Tower House were constructed. Over the years, the chapter expanded and it was necessary to construct additions to the house in 1971 and 1976 which brought the house to nearly three times its original size in 1962. The mortgage was paid off in 1985. Despite its early success, the chapter entered a period of financial and leadership trouble. The chapter's finances gradually deteriorated, and costs of maintaining the facility rose. In addition, the house fell into disrepair. These reasons, among others, led Beta Mu Board of Directors to disband the chapter. In May of 1998, the Board unanimously decided to disband the chapter for a period of three years. This ended the 77 year TKE/Alpha Chi Mu tradition at Bucknell.
Beginning in the fall of 2002, TKE sought out new brothers to fill the void left at Bucknell. Beginning as nine men, these nine wanted to redefine fraternity and help to erase the void at Bucknell. Carefully, these nine formed a colony of 40 men willing to bring TKE back onto the Bucknell campus, even without having a house! Working throughout the fall of 2002 and the spring of 2003, Beta-Mu began the petition to recharter. Through hard work and perseverance, the Beta-Mu Colony was approved for membership on May 1st, 2003. The rechartering process was at the time the fastest in TKE's century old international history. The dedication and spirit of the founding fathers in 1921 and again in 2003 has not been forgotten. In the past few years TKE Beta-Mu has twice been honored with the prestigious Top TKE award from the Grand Council of Tau Kappa Epsilon. With its commitment to serving the Bucknell University Community, TKE Beta-Mu has been honored with Silver Star status in recognition of its hard work through the Plan for Prominence. Despite these accolades TKE Beta Mu is far from resting on its laurels. Through its extensive community service, formative candidacy process, and nationally renowned Ronald Reagan Run for Alzheimer's Research, TKE Beta Mu is raising the standard for what it means to be a college fraternity, and shaping the next generation of Bucknell leaders.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - In recent months, the international press has criticized the Chinese government for its violent suppression of Tibet. Now the world community must put a stop to another human-rights violation the denial of press freedom to Taiwanese reporters.
Since 2004, the United Nations Department of Public Information has refused press credentials to Taiwan's journalists for the World Health Assembly's annual meeting on the grounds that Taiwan is not a member of the World Health Organization.This not only violates the Taiwanese people's rights to health and information, but also negates the UN's role as an upholder of global justice.
Freedom of the press is a universal value that transcends politics.Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression...to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." The UN recognized the importance of press freedom by designating Saturday as World Press Freedom Day in 1993.
The World Health Report 2007 stresses the importance of information-sharing and cooperation between nations to combat disease. Moreover, Article 3 of the International Health Regulations of the WHO states that IHR "implementation ...shall be guided by the goal of their universal application for the protection of all people of the world from the international spread of disease."
But the WHO has weakened its own epidemic prevention mechanism by barring Taiwan's journalists from reporting at the WHA. If the international community continues to turn a blind eye to this policy, instigated by China, the global disease prevention network could be put at risk.
In democratic nations such as Taiwan, journalists are seen as independent and autonomous.
In fact, according to Freedom House, Taiwan enjoyed the highest degree of press freedom in Asia in 2007. Regrettably, the UN has not respected the universal value of press freedom.Despite its vow to safeguard human rights, the UN has given in to political considerations and banned Taiwan's journalists from reporting on WHA activities, preventing them from satisfying the Taiwanese people's right to information.
As the 2008 WHA prepares to meet on May 19, we make the following appeals:
Given that the right to information and freedom of the press are universal values, freedom of the press should not be a prerogative of WHO member states.
The goal of the WHO is to attain the highest possible degree of health for every human being.The WHO and the UN, as champions of global equity and human rights, should respect the rights of the Taiwanese people to health and information.
A free press should not be the victim of politics regardless of how China oppresses Taiwan on the international stage.The UN and the WHO should not allow political considerations to supersede press freedom and the spirit of journalistic independence.
These organizations should, in respecting the principle of parity, lift their discriminatory ban on and issue WHA press passes to Taiwan's journalists.
Dr. Shieh Jhy-wey is serving as Minister of Taiwan's Government Information Office.
