So far, each protein gene inserted in the P-gel matrix has worked successfully, regardless of the protein's size, type, or function. "This appears to be a universal and versatile production system," says Dr. Biloski. "Moreover, the P-gel method makes it possible to make proteins that cannot be made in cell-based systems, including large, insoluble proteins and proteins that would kill E. coli or cells currently used to manufacture them."
Because no living organisms are involved in the P-gel system and protein expression relies totally on enzymatic reactions, most proteins can be produced within the gel with stable production rates. Currently, 15–50 milligrams of protein per milliliter of reaction are made in the P-gel, and the company is scaling up to kilogram amounts.
The P-gel can be reused multiple times, making it suitable for automated multi-pass protein expression systems. Since the P-gel method lends itself to setting up highly consistent cGMP processes, it also may reduce regulatory hurdles for therapeutic proteins. Patients, too, may benefit, as cheaper generic drugs are manufactured in P-gels, Dr. Biloski says.
There are many benefits to the P-gel system, according to Dnano. It eliminates the need to build expensive cell-based manufacturing facilities; it reduces production costs to levels similar to that for small molecule drugs; it eliminates worries about contamination by prions and viruses, and it allows for continuous sampling during protein expression. "You can take out samples and analyze them to prove that the protein made at the beginning process is identical to the end process. You can't do that with sealed cell-based systems," explains Dr. Biloski.
It takes about a day to make a protein in the P-gel, compared to weeks and months for cell-based systems. After a protein is synthesized in the P-gel, separation and purification are easier as well. Cell membranes and other components of the cell-based systems such as carbohydrates and lipids do not have to be removed. Straightforward chromatography is often sufficient to purify proteins made in the P-gel.
Dnano is producing proteins for the R&D divisions of some large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in pilot studies. It plans to expand services to therapeutic protein manufacturing and/or provide nonexclusive licensing for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In the future, the company plans to produce investigational proteins as drug targets, biomarkers, or therapeutic agents. Eventually, it may retain the option to manufacture and market generic protein drugs. "Our method is simple and fast, and we have no doubts that we can transfer it to other people's laboratories," concludes Dr. Biloski.

Connected to the River
Ripley author Ann Hagedorn finds solace and inspiration in her adopted hometown.
Elizabeth Weinstein
On an evening in early June, author Ann Hagedorn was driving home to Ripley — a small town on the Ohio River in Brown County, about 50 miles southeast of Cincinnati — from a speaking engagement in Chicago. Seemingly out of nowhere, a speeding semi truck came flying at her from behind and struck her, launching her Honda Accord into the air. Hagedorn's car landed with a crash, in a ditch in the median of I-74, near Batesville, Indiana. The semi driver, who had likely fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into her, sped off without stopping while Hagedorn waited for help to arrive.
Hagedorn's car was totaled. She suffered several broken ribs, full-body bruises, whiplash and shock. But, she says, "I am lucky to be alive." Moments before the crash, she had been thinking about her next career move. In recent years, Hagedorn has made a name for herself as a writer of narrative nonfiction, and has taught classes on the subject at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. Her most recent book,
Savage Peace: Hope and Fear in America, 1919
(Simon and Schuster) was published in April.
A close call with death has a way of changing one's plans, though. "The car accident has made me rethink a lot," she says, reclining on an antique sofa in the living room of her Ripley home. A large bay window in the room overlooks the Ohio River, which is across a narrow street from Hagedorn's front door.
About a month after the accident, the physical bruises have faded and the broken ribs are mending, but the emotional impact remains. "If you're on the wrong track it will shock you into realizing that. That's the opportunity in being snapped out of your routine, into chaos," she explains.
"I love doing these big books [
Savage Peace
is 543 pages, including notes and an index], but they do take about four years. So I'm rethinking the future and I'm thinking I want to write more [shorter] books — as many as possible while I'm still alive," she says with a laugh. She's also considering writing a novel or two. In other words, Hagedorn is on a renewed quest to live life to the fullest. Although this quest was accelerated by her accident, it began long before.
Hagedorn was born in Dayton and grew up in Dayton, Kansas City and Shaker Heights. She earned a B.A. in history and psychology from Denison University in 1971, followed by M.S. degrees from the University of Michigan (information science) and Columbia University (journalism).
Her journalism career began at the San Jose Mercury News, where she worked for a year as a reporter before landing a job with the
Wall Street Journal
, in New York City. At the Journal, Hagedorn developed a passion and flair for investigative reporting. In 1993, she left the Journal to work as special projects editor at the
New York Daily News
Then, in 1995, Hagedorn made the decision to leave the newspaper business and concentrate full time on writing books. Her first,
Wild Ride: The Rise and Tragic Fall of Calumet Farm, Inc., America's Premier Racing Dynasty
— about corruption and greed in the horse-racing industry — was published in 1994. She followed it with
Ransom: The Untold Story of International Kidnapping in 1998
Hagedorn had lived happily in New York for more than 20 years by the time Ripley, Ohio, appeared, serendipitously, on her radar.
While researching a novel — set in the civil rights era — that she had just begun work on, she became intrigued by references she found to Ripley and its involvement with the Underground Railroad. Hagedorn placed the novel on the back burner and in the summer of 2000 moved from New York City to a rental house in Ripley, where she immersed herself in the rich history of the abolitionist movement in southwest Ohio.
The end result of her research was
Beyond the River: The Untold Story of the Heroes of the Underground Railroad
, published by Simon and Schuster in 2003. Employing a mixture of literary and academic writing techniques, Beyond the River shines a spotlight on the lesser-known heroes who helped put an end to American slavery, including John Rankin (1793–1886), a Presbyterian minister and abolitionist who published an antislavery book,
Letters on American Slavery
in 1823.
One hundred steps lead uphill from the Ohio riverbank to Rankin's house, built in 1828. The proximity of the home to the river made it an ideal stopping point for slaves fleeing the neighboring slave state Kentucky. "Slaves were escaping all along the river in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois," wrote Hagedorn in
Beyond the River
. "Ripley, with its network of creeks, its narrow crossing, and its alleys running straight from the river to the hills behind the town — one of which ran right next to Rankin's new house…was fast becoming a favored passage." In fact, most of the 2,000 escaped slaves who traveled through Ripley stayed with the Rankin family.
The American Library Association selected
Beyond the River
as a 2004 Most Notable Book. "Hagedorn's decision to relocate to Ripley during the book's completion no doubt inspired her immediate and vivid prose, bringing these historical figures to a wider audience," wrote
Publisher's Weekly
in its review of the book.
When she first moved to Ripley, Hagedorn thought it would only be for a few years, or until she finished the book. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with the little river town (population 1,782). In 2003, Hagedorn decided to make Ripley her permanent home. She purchased a spacious house on Front Street that was once home to abolitionist Thomas McCague, who makes an appearance in Beyond the River.
The house, like the town, is full of history. In the master bedroom, for instance, there is a tiny door — about five feet tall — between the window and the fireplace, leading to a long, narrow space and a ladder. The ladder goes up to the third floor attic, which is now filled with insulation. Hagedorn says she suspects, but cannot confirm, that slaves once hid in this attic.
"All my friends in New York think Ripley is my mid-life crisis," she says with a laugh.
"I passionately love New York, but in a way, this is a better place for me to write," she explains. "My ancestors came to Ohio in the late 18th century. So I have very, very strong roots here… I hadn't spent much time with my mother since I was in high school. My father died, and my mother lives in Middletown, Ohio, and I thought, 'This is an opportunity to get to know her.'"
At the time of the move, Hagedorn had just finished reading
Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life
, by Thomas Moore — a philosophical book about learning to care for one's own soul and achieve balance. "There was something about living in Ripley that seemed to bring alive the words of Thomas Moore," she adds.
Perhaps it was the sense of small-town camaraderie that Ripley offered, or the visual allure of a place surrounded by hills, water and greenery. Back when Hagedorn was living in an apartment in New York, she had asked her landlady if she could install a screen door — a remnant from her Ohio childhood. No, the landlady responded — it would be a safety hazard. "I thought, 'I just want to hear the sound of a screen door slamming. I want to hear birds at night. I want to have a garden… I want to have a more balanced life,'" Hagedorn says.
The Ohio River itself was also a big draw. It plays a key role in Beyond the River, and fittingly has become an important part of Hagedorn's life and routine. All the windows in the front of her house offer a breathtaking view of the river, situated mere feet from her front porch.
"Writing is an isolating process, and the loneliness you can get from that isolation, it really diminishes if I sit with a view of the river," she says.
"The neat thing about living on the river is that every season is beautiful," she adds. "Sometimes I used to think I was living in a black-and-white film in New York until spring, and then all of a sudden, it was Technicolor. Here, it's always a Technicolor film, because every season has stories of its own. You also connect really deeply with the process when you sit at the window and look out at the banks of the river, because you see spring slowly coming, just like a painter's brush right across the landscape."
In Ripley, Hagedorn says, everyone knows everyone else, and neighbors look out for one another. "When I had my car accident, people I don't even know came up to me and said, 'I heard about your accident and I'm sorry.' Every once in a while someone leaves a bag of fresh vegetables on my doorknob. I don't even know who does that. People are so kind," she says.
Hagedorn began writing her latest book, Savage Peace, in 2004, after two years of intensive research. It is, in essence, a biography of the year 1919, a year, Hagedorn argues, that gave birth to the 20th century as we know it. Four major themes are explored in Savage Peace: civil liberties, race relations, the self-determination of nations and scientific advancement. Various "characters," or historical figures, including W.E.B. Du Bois, J. Edgar Hoover, attorney general A. Mitchell Palmer, and muckraking journalist Ray Stannard Baker, exemplify these themes.
"I have this quest of saving certain great characters in our history from falling into the abyss of forgotten history," Hagedorn says.
Most of her work is done in the home's second-floor office, which resembles the inner workings of a writer's brain in all its organized clutter. Before sitting down to write a book, Hagedorn creates lengthy, hand-written plot outlines on brightly colored Post-It notes, which she tapes together and hangs on the wall behind her desk. Also taped to her office wall is a printout of a calendar from 1919, which she used to help her get in the right frame of mind to write about the year. A window near the desk provides a clear view of Rankin's house.
"If I feel that things aren't going particularly well on some writing day, or workday, I always look and I can see Rankin's house sitting there, by itself on the hill," she says. "That's what always gives me inspiration to move forward."
Behind Hagedorn's house is a small, separate, building where she has a second office, specifically for writing (all business, research, organization and filing is done in her office in the main house). It's filled with thought-provoking decorations (such as animal skulls collected on various hiking trips) and books on the craft of writing.
These days, Hagedorn spends a lot of time on the road, traveling to speaking engagements and promoting
Savage Peace
across the country. No matter where she is, she says, Ripley is never far from her mind. "I take it for granted and then I leave, on a business trip or whatever, and I just feel this tug, because I'm always pulled back here. I can't imagine ever leaving it. It's a very special place," she explains.
"I was on the fast track for a long time, and I didn't really have much time for myself, or to connect deeply with people," she adds. "Here, I've connected very deeply."

Revolutionary it isn't, but this five-part documentary offers some interesting observations on how TV reflects social change.
The program uses the standard clips-and-talking-heads format to study the medium's treatment of homosexuality, sex in general, women, racial minorities and violence. Because there's some overlap in these categories, the producers resort to recycling. In the hour on sex, we see a clip of demonstrators protesting against NYPD Blue. When the subject turns to violence, anti-Blue sign wavers are back onscreen.
Still, TV Revolution often succeeds in making us see old scenes in new ways. Was there Freudian symbolism in that giant loaf of bread emerging from Lucy Ricardo's oven? Did the bloodless gunplay of westerns like The Rifleman obscure the consequences of real violence? Could David Carradine have looked any phonier in his Chinese makeup on Kung Fu? Food for thought, particularly if you're glued to the tube.

It might work. Then again it might not. The trouble comes with different
drive geometry, as you noticed.
Learning some real backup techniques can really pay off in the long run.
It isn't the hardest thing in the world, either (not by a long shot!).
The key things to learn about are:
1. Disk layout and structure in the PC world. Usually this means enough to
point to where each OS is installed. Also, it is necessary to use fdisk
(or equiv) to recreate partitions on a new device.
2. The boot method is use on the box. I use the grub loader, almost
exclusively. The bootloader must be reinstalled if a backup is
restored to a new disk.
3. The filesystems in use on the box. Learn about appropriate tools
to use to backup data from individual partitions. I use ntfsclone for
Windows' NTFS partitions and simple tar with gzip for Linux partitions. If
you are using EAs and ACLs, then supplement tar backup with a capture
using getfattr, getfacl.
This is a recent thread where I made some similar comments:
(points to start of thread).
dd works as a backup tool. The backups you have created with this tool
are likely usable in a restore scenario. They may require some "fixed
up" work if the geometry does not match, though. The contents of each
partition can be isolated from this "blob" using device mapper objects
(hint: use blocksize and offset parameters). By saving the partiton data
directly you can omit this somewhat tricky problem.

LIAN LI PC-90 The Hammer Review
Up Close: Interior
Published: 24th April 2012 | Source: LIAN LI | Price: £155.76 |
Up Close: Interior
The first time I took the left side panel off the PC-90 I thought for a minute I'd gone in the wrong side as what faced me for a moment looked like the reverse side of a motherboard tray. What we see in fact is the 3.5" and 2.5" drive mounting racks. In a break from the traditional method of stacking HDDs vertically in bays at the front of a case Lian Li have chosen an alternate solution in the form of 2 removable struts. Each strut has mounting holes corresponding to either 2.5" drives or 3.5" drives, both on the front and on the reverse, meaning that when fully laden the struts between them can hold a total of 6x3.5" and 6x2.5" or a total of 12x2.5". I think it's perhaps this feature that enables the PC-90 to maintain it's marginally diminutive size whist at the same time still allowing for the very largest Motherboards and longest GPUs. Removing the left hand strut and central cable management strut by means of a few thumb bolts we gain a better view of the internals.
Turning our attention to the rear of the case we see that the 10 vented expansion bays as well as the rear 120mm exhaust fan. In true Lian Li style the interior of the case, like the rear and base is presented in naked high sheen Aluminium.
The front of the case interior is where we find the 140mm intake fans. Two in total, with each being protected on the inside by a classic wire guard. The front fans, like the rear 120 are fitted with removable 4pin molex adapters, allowing the user to choose whether to go straight to the PSU or into a convenient fan header. Although not intended as a Watercooling case it looks very much to me like it would be an easy job to mount a 2x140mm rad and fans in this area. enough room perhaps even for a push pull set up without encroaching on the space available for GPUs. The picture below right shows the PSU mounting area. Simple rubber strips provide sound isolation with rails running the full length of the roof and a total lack of obstructions meaning that any size PSU will fit up here with no problem what-so-ever.
By now you may have noticed the cable management options provided by Lian Li, or rather the lack there of. Aside from the 2 large cut outs in the Motherboard tray which are intended to give access to the rear of the CPU, (or CPUs, as this case can accommodate twin CPU Motherboards), there's not really a lot else. The Motherboard tray ends some 10cms sort of the front of the case giving at least one place to feed the wires round but it's far from an elegant solution. Turning the case around perhaps gives us a clearer view of the lack of cable management. No holes, no grommets, no cable tie mounts, and worst of all, with just 12mm of clearance, no space to speak of.

I think you've been more than generous giving it a silver. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a case, knowing that no matter how much effort I went to that the cabling is still gonna look like a dogs breakfast. Lian-Li need to take their quality and get more innovative the way Silverstone have.
It fits HTPX and EBB boards (dual socket) and yet its still midtower!Quote
Think you are missing the point of this case though fella, its deffo not a show off case, more a compact but still get a huge rig inside kinda case.
It fits HTPX and EBB boards (dual socket) and yet its still midtower!
If they had left sufficient space behind the motherboard tray, and even mounted the hard drives behind it as well - then it'd be a different story.Quote
but if u can look at the results u will see that exactly the price range take the all thing down, ok the performance also.
And yeah, ill still buy the Silverstone Raven 02 (wich i have) 100x more.
Tom u r right with motherboard sizes, the raven does not suport this ones... but hey, for Ivy Bridge its TOP.
10x for a super review again !Quote
How can you not see that FFS?Quote
EDIT: i like the drive mounting personally but how hard would it be to put in some space behind the mobo tray so you can keep the wires for the mobo and stuff AWAY from the cables for the HDD's with them being in that position to make things easyer to swap in/out if something dies.Quote
This is obviously 100% driven towards the workstation side of computing, the big hdd columns are a dead giveaway lmao.
If lian li intend to release a case what should look good then they would include a nice side window with pre drilled cable routing holes.
It's a practical workstation case that is actually executed fairly well.Quote
overall 6.5/10 pre modded.
could be cheaper though...Quote
I agree the cable management is a bit of a pain, however it's not the end of the world having to cut out some cable management holes, especially if you're going to spray the internals anyway (which I know plenty will)....
HDD storage is novel, and frankly it's a huge improvement for them to get so much into so little space.
Review says it scrapes a Silver, which I think is fair. It's probably at the bottom of the silver category, but probably deserves that position.
The PC-100 has a "reversed" motherboard design, where the motherboard IO and the PCI slots lead out the front, then there's a grommeted track for passing the cables out the back, which is mostly a couple of 140mm fans.
This actually makes cable management very easy, since the 24-pin and video card cables get passed around the back of the mobo tray. All the unused cables fit behind the mobo tray, and there's a hole on the bottom where I routed all the cables for the case lights and switches, and the floor-mount SSDs.
The downside of the reversed motherboard is that centrifugal fan graphics cards blow out air that gets sucked back in. But my card has the down-fan style heat sink, so I expect it's not an issue.
The real brilliant aspect of this design is that I will never have an obsolete front IO panel. When I upgrade my motherboard, e.g. to a board with Thunderbolt, my "front" panel will have it.
I could go on. Basically, I think I got the better of the "Hammer Bros," especially on sale for $130.

No the Mobo tray isn't removable. Not without a Dremel any way Quote
I think it looks ok, the only weird thing is the drive mounting.
The 2x140mm radiator in front support is brilliant tho & the case looks nice from the outside.
it looks very much to me like it would be an easy job to mount a 2x140mm rad and fans in this area. enough room perhaps even for a push pull set up
Looks like there's loads of room in the bottom also for pump etc if you wanted to go watercooling.
The only problem I have had with lian-li brushed aluminium cases is vibration Quote
(edit) my mistake, it's 6 hard drives......... then yes i would say the case is fit for purpose and deserves its scoreQuote
Good review as usual mr Logan......... the build quality is lovely, and being a craftsman myself it makes my heart happy to see the pride they display in their quality of craftsmanship, it's a rare thing these days. The hard drive placement seems counter productive to the purpose of the case though, am i right in thinking that there's only room for 3 hard drives? A 3 drive raid system in a case that can hold a dual cpu board seems a little bit pointless
(edit) my mistake, it's 6 hard drives......... then yes i would say the case is fit for purpose and deserves its score

Cafe bombings, attacks kill 42 in Iraq
BAGHDAD -- Emboldened militants in Iraq set up their own checkpoint to kill drivers and bombed crowded cafes Thursday in the deadliest of a series of attacks that killed at least 42 people, authorities said.
More than 550 people have been killed in violent attacks so far this month, according to an Associated Press count, as violence continues during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The speaker of Iraq's parliament even has acknowledged that insecurity in the nation likely will get worse after a massive al-Qaida-claimed prison break freed hundreds of inmates.
The deadliest attack Thursday happened when a bomb exploded inside a crowded cafe north of Baghdad, killing 16 diners and wounding 20 others.
Iraqi police said that the blast targeted Noufel cafe near the town of Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.
U.N.: 100,000 plus dead in Syrian war
DAMASCUS, Syria -- The number of dead in Syria's civil war has passed 100,000, the U.N. chief said Thursday, calling for urgent talks on ending two and one-half years of violence even as President Bashar Assad's government blasted the United States as an unsuitable peace broker.
In the latest example of the relentless carnage, a car bomb killed at least 10 people and wounded 66 in a pro-regime, residential area near the capital.
All international attempts to broker a political solution to the Syrian civil war have failed. Despite a stalemate that has settled in for months, both sides still believe they can win the war and have placed impossible conditions for negotiations. The international community has been unable to intervene to tip the balance in favor of either the Assad regime or the rebels.
Afghan insurgents find new opening for attacks
WASHINGTON -- The shrinking U.S. combat role in Afghanistan has given insurgents an opening to devise and carry out deadlier attacks using bigger improvised bombs against U.S. and coalition military vehicles and bases, American officials said.
With fewer U.S. forces patrolling road networks beyond their bases and with the grounding of eye-in-the-sky surveillance balloons known as aerostats, Taliban fighters are adapting their tactics, according to officials at the Joint IED Defeat Organization, a Pentagon agency that tracks attacks that use improvised explosive devices.
Small plane crashes into house in Indiana
COLUMBUS, Ind. -- A small, home-built plane piloted by an 81-year-old man crashed into a house Thursday in central Indiana, injuring the pilot and his passenger while a woman inside the home escaped unscathed before the aircraft's wreckage burst into flames, authorities said.
The plane crashed shortly after takeoff and plowed into the back of a house in a subdivision just south of Columbus Municipal Airport, said Columbus police Lt. Matt Myers.

As officials described the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program last week, I was reminded of another educational effort aimed at ongoing enterprises.
The U.S. Small Business Administration launched its Emerging Leaders 200, or e200, training program - described as providing MBA-like curriculum to people with little time or money to pursue one - in Philadelphia in 2008.
Both programs focus on operating businesses, not start-ups. The required minimum is at least two years in business for the Goldman Sachs effort and three years for e200. Firms also must be generating revenue - between $150,000 and $4 million for Goldman Sachs, and at least $400,000 for e200.

3 Tips for Better Online Merchandising
The way that products and buying opportunities are presented on an ecommerce site can have a significant impact on sales. Making good merchandising choices especially around how search results are managed, how complementary products are displayed, and how the site's hierarchy is arranged will help some merchants sell more and be more profitable.
Online merchandising is focused on presenting product or service information so that shoppers are able to find and buy items easily. It should also introduce shoppers to complementary items. Put another way, online merchandising should in someway entice site visitors to buy.
When online merchandising is done well, it may lead to higher conversion rates, larger orders, and more sales overall. Unfortunately, a poorly merchandised site may frustrate visitors and discourage purchases.
What follows are three tips for improving online or — as it is sometimes called — on-site merchandising.
Tip 1: Merchandise in Search Results
Search results pages present a great opportunity for retailers to display products and offer suggestions. But sometimes sellers overlook these opportunities, imagining that retail site search needs to resemble a Google search results page. This notion could not be further from the truth.
Consider the search results page for the current Target website. The page resembles a product category page complete with layered and faceted navigation and large product images. It looks nothing like a Google search results page, but instead it seeks to merchandise to the customer.
Target's search page also highlights items that are on sale, again using merchandising to shoppers.
On the Harry & David website, which sells fruit and treat baskets, shoppers searching for Thanksgiving baskets also see a banner ad promoting Halloween gift baskets, a related product.
According to a paper from analytics and marketing firm Omniture, about half of a site's visitors will use search as their primary form of navigation. Be sure that search results pages are enticing shoppers to buy.
Tip 2: Cross-sell, Up-sell, and Down-sell
Cross-selling, up-selling, and down-selling each introduce related or complementary products to shoppers as they navigate through the site.
For cross-selling, complementary, often competitive, products are offered, giving the shopper the choice between similar products at a similar price point. Up-selling generally seeks to move a shopper to a premium product, potentially increasing the merchant's margin on the sale. Down-selling offers shoppers a similar but less expensive product, and is typically used to help retailers sell overstocked and slow moving items.
These product suggestions, whether cross, up, or down can help a shopper choose the best product for his needs, making for a happy customer.
As an example, Amazon places two sections of cross-sell products on most of its product detail pages, offering shoppers additional products.
Overstock offers related items on its product detail pages, too. In this case, it shows items that other shoppers visited after viewing the current product.
Tip 3: Use Categories to Help Shoppers Find Products
Site hierarchy — how products are categorized — is also a form of online merchandising.
The key to using categories as merchandising is to sue a category structure and category labels that resonate with shoppers and makes it easy for shoppers to find the product they want.
As an example, consider the navigation on the Element14 site, which sells electronic components and kits to hobbyists. The site's main product categories are a combination of technologies and specific product types.
There is a category called "Alternative Energy," which describes a group of technologies, and there is a category called "Arduino" that describes a specific product and its related items. Both Alternative Energy and Arduino are top level product categories because they help shoppers find the products they want.
Summing Up
To improve merchandising and thereby improve sales and profitability, an online retailer can (a) treat a search results page like a selling opportunity, (b) cross-sell, up-sell, and down-sell; and (c) create a category structure based on how customers browse.

Points 1 and 2 can't be stressed enough. Having images of merchandise as opposed to just words describing merchandise is important. If an online shopper can see merchandise visually, he or she might be more inclined to purchase. The thought is, "It looks nice."
Companies do overlook down-selling. So much focus is on up-selling, which makes sense because it brings in more money. However, down-selling is just as appealing to a shopper. Everyone is looking for a good deal, especially in these economic times.
I totally agree on these great online merchandising tips. Visibility, great offers and properly categorising products for your type of audience can definitely boost sales.http://www.hamperme.com.au/
Totally agree with all three tips. The online shopper should also compare prices on the other websites too for the particular product people are looking for.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Harvick doesn't just come back to Phoenix International Raceway as the defending winner of the November race.
He comes back with the knowledge that he won that race amid a bit of drama and controversy. It was at Phoenix last year when news broke that Harvick would be leaving Richard Childress Racing for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.
It was on the 1-mile track where Harvick proved that he and his RCR team could perform despite the off-track drama. That experience could come in handy this weekend considering the drama of a couple of weeks ago when Harvick ripped the Dillon brothers, the grandsons of team owner Richard Childress and the future of RCR.
MORE: Winless drivers | Possible crew chief changes | Kes' advice to Kenseth | Wallace wreck, confrontation
Childress was livid with Harvick, who called Austin and Ty Dillon "punk-ass kids" and said they had everything given to them. But the two apparently have been able to work together as Harvick puts an end to a Cup career at RCR that began when he replaced Dale Earnhardt after the seven-time Cup champion's death in the 2001 Daytona 500.
"Obviously we had the incident at Martinsville," Harvick said prior to practice Friday at PIR. "But it's definitely not the hardest situation that we've been through as owner and driver or friends, whatever you want to call it. … It's kind of like being part of your family.
"You have some spats and you have some things but it seems like each instance makes you closer in some kind of way."
Harvick also will compete in the Nationwide Series this weekend for RCR, his final time driving for the organization in that series. He could end up racing Nationwide points leader Austin Dillon, and apparently Childress is comfortable enough that Dillon and Harvick can race with no problem.
Last week at Texas, Harvick apologized to Austin Dillon, who was not competing in the truck race at Martinsville, where Harvick and Ty Dillon wrecked, sparking the bitter dispute.
As Harvick showed a year ago and as he had done for much of the 2013 season, he will try to put any hard feelings he has for RCR aside and go race.
"A lot of the emotion (last year at PIR) was pretty calm for the most part," Harvick said. "As we've gone through the year, the performance has been good. … I don't know that anybody really knew what to expect as we went through time and went through week after week to see how it all was going to work. It's been a week-by-week thing and I think everybody has worked through it fairly well."
It should be easy for Harvick to remain focused in his Cup car. He still has an outside shot at the title as he sits 40 points behind series leader Jimmie Johnson and 33 behind Matt Kenseth with two races left.
"We haven't been where we needed to be in order to keep up with those two guys as far as winning races and finishing a little bit better," Harvick said. "We can't complain about the season nor the finishes we've had in the Chase. … Forty points is a lot to overcome.
"We can control how we run and that's about it. Having both of those guys have major catastrophes in two races is asking for all but a miracle."

Grease the boat trailer axles but keep a sharp ice auger.
Boaters have enjoyed fishing the lower Niagara River throughout the winter season. Some of Lake Ontario's ponds and bays have opened enough to launch a boat, but shore casters now are seeing an early start for perch runs.
Waters have begun showing around ice floes on many inland lakes, but some solid shoreline ice surfaces remained as of Tuesday afternoon on parts of Silver Lake and Chautauqua Lake.
Rainfall and rising temperatures may cancel out any ice options for the weekend. But where walkers can safely cross ice, catches have been good. The bluegill bite has been great; the crappie catch has been spotty but good in spurts.
Silver Lake's 'gills are scattered. Walkers have been working weed edges all winter and still see a good bite along edges and in open pockets between standing weeds. Finding openings often calls for poking a few extra holes before getting into an open area with edge cover where the bigger panfish pan for forage.
Crappie schools have begun their in-shore, pre-spawn runs, but the schooling can be sporadic and the bite can be touchy. Skip Bianco at Hogan's Hut in Stowe gets good reports of bluegills from both the Burtis Bay area at the south end and either side of Mayville to the north.
"You have to pick your way through some smaller fish, but crappies are definitely moving in," Bianco said of the crappie bite that has shown at odd hours of the day at Chautauqua.
River runs
Boaters have yet to see ice floes from the initial removal of the Ice Boom earlier this week.
All kinds of fish show on the sonar screen and boaters know the lower Niagara River has a solid presence of steelhead, brown and lake trout. But the river also supports an abundance of bait fish from the mouth up and into the Devil's Hole area.
"Best bait right now has been the smaller emeralds, about the size of perch minnows," said charter captain Chris Cinelli after a fair day on the lower river Tuesday.
Both boaters and shore casters could see a four- to seven-day run of Ice Boom ice. Northwest winds through much of the past week have kept boaters off the Niagara Bar and held the 80-plus square miles of Lake Erie ice from hitting the head of the river.
Typically, fishing picks up just after Ice Boom ice clears from the river and Niagara Bar waters. Captain Frank Campbell looks forward to seeing a coho salmon run comparable to the schooling boaters saw around the Niagara Bar last spring at this time. Lake Erie's ice presence was minimal last year; this year's modest freeze-over could produce similar early runs for lower river and Lake Ontario trout and salmon runs.
Inland trout
Department of Environmental Conservation hatchery trucks are making regular runs to area streams, ponds, lakes and rivers prior to the statewide inland trout season opener Monday.
Conditions for deliveries from the Randolph, Bath and Caledonia hatcheries have been good to ideal for DEC tanker trucks to stock trout. Listings of newly stocked areas will begin in this column April 3. Look for a detailed column on the Caledonia Hatchery's infrastructure and output on the Sunday Outdoors Page.
New trout regulations
Beginning last Oct. 1, the daily limit for rainbow trout in the tributaries of western Finger Lakes was reduced from five to one fish per day, which includes Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Canadice and Hemlock lakes.
That reduction will have an immediate – though not burdensome – effect on the 52nd annual Naples Creek Rainbow Trout Derby. In previous years, the contest offered a prize in a First Three-Fish Limit category.
Now, the Naples contest will continue all other categories for adult men and women, boys and girls under age 16, 65 and older, and many areas and awards. Look for an expanded description of the Naples Derby on the Sunday Outdoors Page. For derby details, call (585) 374-2782.
Walleye vying
Walleye season will not open until the first Saturday in May, but competition-minded anglers can plan for major walleye tourneys and derbies that are in the works for this warm-water season. Here is a list with contact information for five of those contests:
• Southtowns Walleye Association 29th Annual Walleye Tournament, June 8-16, southtownswalleye.org.
• 444 International Walleye Event, Port Colborne, Ont., June 22-23, pcdcc.com.
• New York Walleye Association Ameri-Can Walleye Classic, Dunkirk Harbor, July 13-14, call 875-8148.
• Sunset Bay Walleye Shootout, Sunset Bay, July 27, call Bob Rustowicz (830-6394).
• Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club Walleye Derby, Aug. 2-4, call 640-2776.
Additional walleye, bass and youth fishing contests and clinics are slated for the coming seasons.

There were plenty of fans on hand at Reliant on Saturday and several of them were pretty wild.
I will be posting some photos on here later of some of the craziest fans I saw on Saturday, like the Kentucky colonel!!!
In the meantime, here are a couple of videos of Butler and Kentucky fans telling me about their traditions and cheers. Also, the Butler fans let me know that they are the "smartest basketball fans."
I went to find some UConn fans, and in the student section, they were a little disappointed that more didn't show up. UConn is the furthest away, though.
The student section tickets were just $25 bucks and overall, fans did a good job of making the place rock on Saturday. Kentucky fans were by far and away the loudest, rowdiest crew. We will miss them on Monday.

|Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairman Gimenez opened the public hearing on the foregoing proposed ordinance, and seeing no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Seijas asked why this item was before the Committee again for further consideration when its history reflected it failed 1-5 at the September 09, 2008 Governmental Operations and Environment Committee (GOEC) meeting. Assistant County Attorney Henry Gillman explained that a motion to forward this item to the County Commission failed and no further action was taken, but technically it should have been placed on the next committee agenda for action pursuant to the Committee rules and procedures. Responding to Commissioner Seijas' comments regarding the announcement of Assistant County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan at that meeting that the action taken was "laid on the table," Assistant County Attorney Henry Gillman explained there was no motion to table this item at the committee meeting. Responding to Chairman Gimenez' question regarding whether an item could be brought back before the Committee after six months if a motion to forward it to the County Commission failed, Assistant County Attorney Henry Gillman explained that if a motion to forward an item to the County Commission failed at Committee and no further action was taken, the item should be placed on the next committee agenda for a proper motion. He noted if tabled, an item could not come back except as a new item. Responding to Chairman Gimenez' question regarding the timeframe for bringing back a new item before Committee, Assistant County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan noted the timeframe was at least three months unless there was a waiver. She noted the foregoing proposed ordinance was a new item. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the foregoing proposed ordinance be forwarded to the County Commission with a favorable recommendation. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gimenez for a discussion. Commissioner Heyman noted she reviewed the history and minutes pertaining to this item, which revealed Commissioner Gimenez saying he would prefer that this matter remain as a business decision until the County imposed more water restrictions. She also noted that rather than wait for another County mandate on water restrictions, she awaited the appropriate timeframe to propose a new ordinance, and in the interim, reached out to restaurant associations, which supported implementing water restrictions that required restaurants to serve water only upon request as an ongoing standard practice. She indicated this was being carried out by some hotels and restaurants now, and asked the Committee to favorably support this ordinance as a standard practice for conserving water. Commissioner Sosa noted restaurants such as Joe's Stone Crab were already practicing the standard of serving water to customers upon request only. She stated she would support this in an abundance of caution to help conserve water. Commissioner Martinez noted he was the only committee member who supported this ordinance last September and agreed with its intent; however, after giving it more thought, he could no longer support this ordinance because he felt that government interference in private businesses would violate his principles and the practice of serving water upon request only should be a business decision. Commissioner Seijas noted although she admired Joe's Stone Crab restaurant for taking the initiative in this practice, she could not support county government imposing permanent water restrictions on restaurants serving water because she felt it would be too punitive and the practice should be optional. She suggested the County and other organizations such as the Visitors Convention Bureau make a bigger effort in educating restaurants on this issue. She reminded Committee members of two agenda items on today's agenda with projects that would not happen because the County was successful at conserving water. She said she agreed with the intent of this ordinance, but could not support it. Commissioner Sosa asked if this ordinance could be amended to insert the language "asking restaurants to self-impose restrictions to conserve water" and delete the words "imposing permanent restrictions" in an effort to educate restaurants on the need to conserve water. Commissioner Heyman noted she accepted the amendment proposed by Commissioner Sosa, and could support asking restaurants to post signs that stated water would be served upon request only, in an effort to get people involved in water/energy conservation. She also noted she welcomed a dialogue before the Board of County Commissioners on meeting green standards and protecting water resources, as was done by the State of Florida and other regions. Chairman Gimenez asked Assistant County Attorney Gillman to rephrase the amendment. Assistant County Attorney Gillman advised he believed it would be appropriate to prepare a resolution, as opposed to an ordinance, asking restaurants to voluntarily comply with posting signs that stated they would serve water upon request only, and noted he would prepare the resolution. Chairman Gimenez concurred with Commissioner Martinez' position regarding government interference and the intent of this ordinance, but stated he preferred an educational campaign be implemented that would teach businesses about the need to conserve water rather than impose a mandatory water restriction, which he felt should be a business decision. He noted he would support a resolution to that effect, but would not support the foregoing ordinance. Following comments by Commissioner Heyman, Assistant County Attorney Gillman advised he would prepare a resolution asking restaurants to post signs that state water would be served upon request only, and bring it back before the Committee for consideration, but the Committee needed to take action on the foregoing ordinance. Following a discussion among Committee members regarding committee rules and procedures and the appropriate motion for preventing this ordinance from coming before the Committee again, the Committee proceeded to vote on a motion to withdraw the ordinance, as requested by Commissioner Heyman.

|Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairwoman Seijas opened the public hearing on the foregoing ordinance, and seeing no one wishing to speak in connection with this ordinance, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Commissioner Martinez that this resolution be forwarded to the County Commission with a favorable recommendation. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Edmonson, followed by a discussion. Chairwoman Seijas noted she opposed this ordinance because she felt that imposing permanent restrictions on restaurant owners was too punitive. She noted the County currently promoted a Green Restaurants Program that suggested restaurants serve customers water only upon the customer's request. She also noted she did not agree with the fiscal impact described in this ordinance, for which she felt was written incorrectly. Commissioner Diaz agreed with Chairwoman Seijas' statements concerning a mandate imposed on restaurants. He noted he was supportive of the Green Restaurants program and of asking a business owner to serve water only upon request, but felt the business entities should be given the right to decide. He pointed out the County's dependence on tourism and stated that most restaurants already ask before serving water. Commissioner Diaz noted he would not support a mandate, and would not support this ordinance. Commissioner Martinez noted he saw this ordinance as a negative only to the County, and not an imposition on the restaurants because the County would receive less revenue. He noted restaurants would save water by serving water upon request, and he spoke in support of this ordinance. Chairwoman Seijas asked for clarification on the fiscal impact of this ordinance related to water conservation measures. Mr. John Renfrow, Director, Water and Sewer Department, noted it was impossible to determine the financial impact, but noted any restaurant participating in the Green Restaurants Program could receive a 100 gallon per day credit. Commissioner Gimenez questioned the number of restaurants in Miami-Dade County, and whether the 100 gallon per day credit per restaurant was a net effect and the reason for decreased revenues. Mr. Renfrow noted he was unaware of the exact number of restaurants in the County, but noted less water would be consumed if less water was being served; however, he could not quantify it. He noted the factor given by the Water Management District was a credit of 100 gallons per day per restaurant for those restaurants participating in the Green Restaurants program. In response to Commissioner Gimenez' question of whether the County was experiencing problems in terms of water, Mr. Renfrow replied no. Commissioner Gimenez noted until the County imposed more water restrictions, he would prefer this matter to remain a business decision. Chairwoman Seijas pointed out that the Green Restaurants program consisted of many more rules than what applied to serving water at restaurant tables. Hearing no further comments or questions, the Committee proceeded to vote.

Sierra Stream: "Fund Our Need"
During the 2013-14 school year, Yuba River Charter School launched an expeditionary field studies program for our 7th and 8th grade students. Administration made this outside education program a priority in the expansion of our upper grades curriculum offerings. We have been delighted by what the Sierra Streams Institute has brought to our students. We feel this is important science and nature studies learning to offer to all YRCS students. Help us expand this opportunity to all grades 1st through 8th!
We need you to help us "Fund Our Need!"
We need to expand the Sierra Streams outdoor science education program beyond our 7th and 8th grades, benefiting all of our students. Our cost to do so is $16,000.
"Fund Our Need" Goals
Bottom of Form
1) Raise $16,000 at Moondance as follows: The first $4,000 we raise at the Moondance "Fund Our Need" Global Auction will fund the introductory level of Sierra Streams' outdoor education and nature studies field trips for grades 1 – 8.
2) Then, continue to raise $12,000 more at Moondance, with a dollar-to-dollar match up to $6,000, to fund a graduated, intensive field studies program for grades 5 – 8. We will fund this portion of the program beginning with 8th grade, down through 5th grade, based upon our fundraising success.
3) Implement this program each and every year so all YRCS students benefit from a cumulative study that builds upon each year's program course work.
Let's reach our goal of $16,000! Ask grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and community friends to contribute to our expanded science curriculum for our children!

A chill is in the air. Twirling, dirty leaves are dancing upon the ground. Lights encircle our towns, and smarmy Hallmark cards are being distributed willy-nilly.
The holidays are here.
In the spirit of the season, let's take a look at each NFL team's wish list. We'll check it twice and then describe one key item we found. From the hope for a perfect season (Packers) to the hope that Curtis Painter will never be a starter again (Colts), these wishes run the gamut.
I've organized this slideshow with NFC teams first, followed by AFC teams. They are grouped by division.

It's often said that the only things certain in life are death and taxes.
Here's another: Andre Staton won't be executed on Oct. 10 for killing Altoona resident Beverly Yohn in 2004. He was convicted of the stabbing death in 2006 and sentenced to death.
Last week, Gov. Tom Corbett signed an execution warrant for Staton, setting the date for Oct. 10. But Staton has no reason to worry: The execution warrant is just a formality in a long, drawn-out process for Pennsylvania's death penalty.
Hundreds of execution warrants have been signed by Pennsylvania governors over the years, generally with the knowledge that the action just starts the clock in another round of appeals.
Corbett has signed 19 warrants, according to the governor's office.
Since 1978, when it reinstated the death penalty, only three people in Pennsylvania - two in 1995 and one in 1999 - have been executed, and all were because they decided to forgo appeals and wanted to die.
Even that action doesn't ensure an execution will happen, as developments in the William Wright III case show.
Wright, who was sentenced to death for the 1998 murder of James Mowery of Altoona, wanted to fire his attorneys, stop his appeals and have his execution carried out. But family members and others won a ruling that Wright is not competent to represent himself in court, ensuring that more appeals will be coming.
The last person to be executed against his will in Pennsylvania was in 1962.
When - or if - Staton is executed for killing Yohn is anyone's guess. But it won't happen this October.

Mickey Jones has written to ask for a rundown of Ed Wade's trades in the nearly two years he has been general manager of the Astros. This is your lucky day, Mickey Jones.
I'm always happy to evaluate and criticize another man. The thing I'm not so good at is when people evaluate and criticize me. Sometimes, I get downright snarky.
Lucky for me, I tend to surround myself with people like McTaggart and Berman and Puma and Morey and Granato and Topper and Raymond and Battier. They all adore me and see me as perfect and would never ever be critical of me.
I've been around the block a few times, and I've come to the conclusion that people are happier and more productive when they surround themselves with people that constantly kiss their butts.
Did I mention that Nick's Place will be premiering the Justice Burger on Monday? That's going to be such a good day that I'll be able to forget that Obama wants to kill all the old people.
I'll say again this isn't as bad an idea as it sounds, but this is a little bit of a hot issue and the last thing I want to do is get people upset. Besides, my 90-year-old mother thought I was referring to her, and of course, that's not the case even if she does turn the thermostat up to 97 whenever I'm visiting.
OK, to Mr. Mickey Jones. Take it away, Mickerroo.
Ed Wade made several trades when he first came to Houston. I do not remember all of them or even all the players involved. I see Lidge and Qualls seem to be doing OK now although Lidge was a head case here. Bourn seems to be coming around, and he certainly provides defense needed in center field. Where is Chris Burke? I am wondering if you can research the players involved in Ed's short tenure? I suspect I am not the only one curious about all the players traded and released. Adam Everett is back in the .230 batting range and not playing every day. Where is Wigginton? Thanks for answering if you have time.
He traded Troy Patton, Matt Albers and Luke Scott for Miguel Tejada.
Scott has had two nice years for the Orioles. Albers hasn't pitched well. Patton is 1-3 with a 6.45 ERA at Triple A and is one of the keys to the deal. He's just 23 years old and if he makes it, the trade will look a lot different.
Many people would say Wade got the best of the Orioles because Tejada has made the National League All-Star Team two years in a row. However, when you factor in the money, it doesn't look as good.
Wade traded three small-money guys to take on $27 million. That $27-million commitment to Tejada limited his ability to acquire pitching, and with the Astros missing the playoffs again, it's easy to argue he shouldn't have made the trade. Would the Astros have been better with a good-field-less-hit player at short and another reliable starter in the rotation?
He traded Chris Burke, Chad Qualls and Juan Gutierrez for Jose Valverde. This deal also increased the payroll and took up money he could have spent on starting pitching. Valverde led the NL in saves in his first year and has been pretty good this year. Qualls and Gutierrez have been 93 games between them for the Diamondbacks and both pitched well. Burke is playing minor league ball in the Atlanta organization.
Wade's most important trade was sending Brad Lidge to the Phillies for Michael Bourn. In year one of that deal, Lidge was great and Bourn terrible. In year two, Lidge has struggled and Bourn has been outstanding. That trade has worked out well for both teams. The Phillies won a World Series, and no matter what Lidge does now, he made the trade pay off.
He made real smart moves to get Randy Wolf, LaTroy Hawkins and Jeff Keppinger. His deal for Oscar Villareal seemed smart at the time, but didn't work out.
As the payroll got tight last winter, Wade was forced to send Ty Wigginton and Randy Wolf packing. Wigginton has eight home runs for the Orioles. Wolf has been solid for the Dodgers, going 6-6 with a 3.43 ERA.
At the end of the day, general managers should be evaluated on a couple of things. One obviously is the won-loss record. The other is the circumstances.
Wade took over an organization that was in shambles. He appears to have done the right things to rebuild the farm system while keeping the big league team competitive.
He'll face a long list of tough decisions in the off-season ahead. Are the Astros going to stay the course and patch here and there and try to remain competitive? Or are they finally going to tear it down and start over?
Drayton McLane has been against a full-blown reconstruction, but he ought to at least take a look. The problem is that his three highest-paid players (Berkman, Oswalt and Lee) all have no-trade clauses, so while Wade maybe didn't make all great deals, he inherited a mess.

Update 7/11: House debates abortion restrictions bill.
A new abortion bill is currently being discussed by House Judiciary Committee B in a room with no audio/livestream capabilities. WRAL reports that SB 353 — previously the motorcycle safety act — is essentially HB 695 but with language instructing DHHS to amend regulations "while not unduly restricting access." The bill is not yet available online. The public was not notified.
We'll update this post as more information becomes available.
Twitter users with live updates from the room: @NCCapitol @sprestonlegis @DeansEatman @carinsavel @JoeSamQueenNC
@RAndersonMiller @PPHSNC @PPCNC
Update 12:03 PM:
More information from the N&O:
Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, an Apex Republican leading the House effort, said the new measure mollifies McCrory's concerns. McCrory's lobbyist appeared to work with the bill's chief supporters before the meeting, but it's still unclear how McCrory would act on the amended bill.
News & Observer – McCrory says he'll veto abortion bill unless 'changes are made;' House discusses its own bill
Update 11:44 AM:
SB 353 passes Judiciary Committee B 10-5 along party lines.
Coverage from The Washington Post:
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) said Wednesday morning that he will veto an abortion restrictions bill moving through the state legislature unless his administration's concerns are addressed.
Within hours of that threat, state House Republicans reportedly pressed forward on the matter, inserting less-restrictive abortion requirements into an unrelated bill. Supporters say the new language addresses McCrory's concerns.
Washington Post – McCrory threatens veto as N.C. abortion bill moves forward
Update 11:04 AM:
Rep. Samuelson says notice was not given because language was being finalized until the last minute. "We're late in the session, and this is the way you get things done late in the session sometimes."
Interesting that McCrory announced his intent to veto 695 only after work was nearly done on the substitute version S353. #ncga #ncpol
— WRAL Gov't Coverage (@NCCapitol) July 10, 2013
Here's the bill Democratic Reps thought they would be discussing, if you're curious: Original text of the Motorcycle Safety Act.
Via Planned Parenthood:
"It is a disgrace to North Carolina that legislators have again resorted to sneak attacks to move their anti-women's health agenda forward," said Melissa Reed, Vice President of Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood Health Systems. "Once again there was no public notice that this bill would be heard. The public and even many legislators on the committee only learned this was a possibility at 9:57am [three minutes before the committee was to meet] when a political reporter was tipped off and posted it on Twitter. This is outrageous and not how the people's business should be conducted."
Update: 10:49 AM
Via the N&O:
Hours after Gov. Pat McCrory issued a veto threat for a controversial abortion bill, House Republicans — acting without public notice — took a bill about motorcycle safety and put in abortion language.
The new bill — S353 — represents tweaks to the version that passed the Senate last week but still includes some of the contentious language. It calls for a physician to be present when the first drug in a chemical abortion is administrated, as opposed to all drugs, under the version that passed the Senate last week.
Another major change: abortion clinics no longer are required to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers. But the state Department of Health and Human Services is authorized to apply those standards as it sees "applicable." The bill also includes a state study to determine what resources are necessary for the state health agency to adequately enforce the new regulations and pays for more inspectors.
News & Observer – Without notice, House rushes forward new abortion bill
Rep. Joe Queen, a member of the committee, tweeted during the hearing:
New abortion bill being heard in the committee I am on. The public didn't know. I didn't even know. #ncga
— Joe Sam Queen (@JoeSamQueenNC) July 10, 2013
The secretary of DHHS raised a number of concerns of items to be reviewed. There was no data given and no real review of safety. #ncga

Cape Leveque
One of Australia's most stunning stretches of coastline, Cape Leveque is filled with saturated hues: brick-red cliffs, pearl-white sand and clear, blue water.

There are lots of activities available once you get to the cape. Glass-bottomed boats will give you a look at the beautiful corals and fish that live in the waters around the cape and the fishing is excellent especially for mackerel, tuna and sailfish.
There are also cultural tours you can undertake with the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land which will teach you about their way of life on the cape.

• In an earlier report, we described the course of the index episode and the family history of patients with schizophreniform disorder, schizophrenia, or affective disorder. Those data indicated that DSM-III schizophreniform disorder defined a heterogeneous group that bore a closer relationship to schizophrenia than to affective disorder. The present report extends the study of these same patients to a 40-year field follow-up. As the earlier short-term and family history findings predicted, marital, occupational, mental, and residential status ratings for the schizophreniform group assumed intermediate positions between those for patients with affective disorder and those for schizophrenics but fell closer to the latter. Contrary to the short-term outcome findings, the present data show no relationship between illness duration at index admission and outcome status ratings after 40 years.

I Interviewed Bashar al-Assad About Syria's Civil War. He's Still Too Delusional to End it.
In recent weeks, Western governments have begun subtly shifting their positions on Syria. The Obama administration seems to have quietly dropped its demand that President Bashar al-Assad resign as a precondition of peace talks. Instead, reports suggest it has embraced proposals that would allow Assad to be part of an interim deal. The new approach implies that the White House and its allies believe that the Syrian president might be open to a compromise that could end his country's four-year civil war.

text: In 1826, Eliza Vestris, dressed as a Dutch Girl, had a great hit with the song Buy a Broom, for which Alexander Lee set new words to an old German air. At her benefit later that year, Vestris teamed up with John Liston and, dressed in similar costumes, they sang the ballad as a duet. Liston was acknowledged as one of the funniest performers of his generation, and the combination of the bizarre and nonsensical comedian with the exquisite Vestris proved irresistible. The impression that the duet made was so great that Ingrey and Madeley found it profitable to issue this commemorative lithograph. Lithography was introduced at the beginning of the 19th century and was the first important mass printing technique for illustrations. At this time, colour was still applied by hand. You can see in the background of the image that Ingrey and Madeley took every opportunity to advertise themselves and their new technology!
