Walking down the memory lane
Remember when you met her first and what did you do? When you first kissed each other? Which was the first restaurant where you ate together? Go back in your history and select few jewels of your experiences together and arrange to take her at those places and interact her with those things and experiences which you both cherish even today. In the course of the travel purchase her items which she would like to have from those places or make her enjoy the cuisine or the entertainment that she did in the past.

Start by laying classic-shaped or square crunchy mini pretzels on a baking sheet, then place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel. Pop them in the oven (preheated to 350 degrees) for about five minutes, or until the chocolates begin to soften. Take them out of the oven and immediately press a whole pecan into each Rolo and allow to set.
The result will be totally awesome homemade chocolate treats.
Overnight Kit

If she is your girlfriend who happens to stay at your place quiet often then she will adore this gesture for its care and love. This is a perfect overnight kit that will ease her to not remember to carry her essentials always when she accompanies you to your place.she will be really impressed with this thoughtful gift idea of yours.
If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the way to a woman's heart is probably through prime cabinet real estate
Ace of Hearts
You can turn a deck of cards into a romantic gift idea by writing 51 reasons why you love her on the back of the red hearts and punching them to be together to make a folder like finish. Use markers, photos, glue, key chain rings to make it a very special one. Bind the cards together like a spiral bound book by feeding the two key chain rings. This is really a very cheap but thoughtful romantic gift idea for your girlfriend or wife which will leave her spellbound.
Dinner date
Gift her a surprise dinner date at an exotic and luxury resort while presenting her with a wonderful bouquet of flowers she loves most. Flowers and their spell instantly attracts and mesmerizes the women, use them to pamper her and order those items which she is fond of eating along with some surprises like a band of violin players or special attention by the hotel staff member to her or a late night movie show for her post dinner. This date will be remembered by her for a long time to come and she will not forget your generosity.
Scrabble Love
Pick up the letter from the scrabble game and join the common letters from names of both of you or if you do not have common letter
in your names then link your name letters with the word LOVE to anchor them together. Next, use a bit of wood glue to affix the letters to the cardboard backing for the frame. Decorate the piece with photos, dried flowers, or other scrapbook-appropriate items. Place the glass on top, and if the fasteners on the back of the frame don't fit over the letters, use strong tape or glue to hold the backing in place. This is a wall hanging that your girl is proud to display it to her friends and other visitors to her home.
Date-of-the-Month Club
If you can think you can plan and execute too. Restricted by your bank account and wish to celebrate a date with her. List out 12 date ideas inside 12 envelops. Just mention the details of date on a separate piece of paper, including the date, location and dress she has to wear on those dates. Insert one to each envelop and give her sealed. She will love this unique idea of date and that too for a complete year long. The surprise element too will make her go crazy about you and your plans. This is a thoughtful and romantic gift which can get you 12 dates in the course of one full year. You would be close to her during these occasions to pamper her.
Car Decor
If it is her birthday or a valentine day, whatever you can make her smile and surprise by decorating her windshield and windows on her car with the hearts and the other designs. This is a romantic & thoughtful gift idea which doesn't costs you much but it will be a unique one to be seen by everybody outside about your love and care for her. Use window marker to do the Decorations and be prepared to clean the car windows when she is back home in the evening.
Breakfast in Bed
Instead of doing the regular breakfast items, use a love theme for making breakfast for her on her birthday. Cut the heart shape out of the bread piece and pop this piece in the frying pan which is already greased up. Now crack the egg into the heart shaped hole and guess what is leady now! Serve with some fruit or mimosas. This will be yummy and perfect breakfast that she will love to have today and thank you for your care and creative cuisine skills.

The Selection Process
Generally, a student may ask a faculty member to sponsor his or her application to the Ford Teaching Fellows Program. Alternatively, a faculty member may approach a student and encourage him or her to apply for the Teaching Fellowship. Together, the faculty mentor and the student will submit to the Ford Teaching Fellows Selection Committee a proposal in which they as a team propose a program suitable to their own discipline and goals. The Selection Committee generally allows four weeks for proposal development and writing.
Applications are available from the Director of the program, Dr. Zach Musselman, and are due in his office the first week of March each year to be considered for the coming fall semester. Late applications will not be considered by the Selection Committee.
There are four components to the Ford Fellowship application:
A committee working with the director of the program will select the class of Ford Teaching Fellows each academic year with the following criteria in mind:
The Ford Fellowship Program and the Honors Program
The Ford Fellowship Program and the Honors Program may draw upon the same students, but the goals and aims of each are distinct:

Louisville library nationally recognized for going green
A Louisville library is being nationally recognized for going green.
The Fairdale Library is now Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified and is an internationally recognized green building program.
"It's a national standard where building projects are proposed and evaluated for whether they meet really rigorous standards for environmental stewardship," said Craig Buthod, director of libraries.
Large windows that let light flow into the library are one piece of the puzzle that earned it LEED status.
"By capturing all of this daylight, we are able to use less electrical lighting every minute we are open. Little sensors from the light fixtures measure how much light is coming from outside and adjust the lighting level," Buthod said.
The building also has geothermal air conditioning and heating and a green area protects the book haven from flooding and prevents run-off. Everything is sloped down toward that space.
"When you walk into this library it is like, 'Wow, we have the best library,'" said Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch.
City leaders hope sustainable public projects will set an example for the private sector.
"That as they build, they build in a LEED, more environmentally responsible way," said Mayor Greg Fischer.
Fischer said it is becoming more affordable to build in an environmentally responsible way.
"Now that cost difference is getting down to 5 percent, 8 percent, that is if you don't include long-term payback of increased energy savings," Fischer said.
The Newburg branch of the Louisville library system is also LEED-certified.
City leaders are also striving for LEED certification for the upcoming Southwest Regional Library on Dixie Highway.

Raw Vegan Cafe
Monday 3.4.2013 @ 5:59pm | ImagesAZ | Community
If you walk outside and the air is blowing just right, you will probably smell the aroma of barbecue. Could be a commercial "smoker" coming from Cave Creek or Carefree, could be from a neighbor . . . maybe it's your own grill 'cuing up some chicken or pork or thick steaks.
Yet here where the favorite initials of many are B-B-Q, a little place run by a woman who swears food saved her life is fast earning a reputation as the raw vegan capitol of Phoenix, if not all of Arizona.
You read that right: raw vegan.
If you just made a face like you bit into a bad prune, you probably are a carnivore, as are approximately 90 percent of Americans. Of the estimated 10 percent who are non-carnivores, only about 2 percent identify as vegans – people who don't eat meat, fish, dairy or other foods derived from animals.
The number of "raw vegans"? Probably less than 0.1 percent of the population.
It's one thing to eat healthy, but enjoying it … that's another thing entirely.
Which is why people are buzzing around Chef Sara's Raw Vegan Cafe like bees at the hive. (Pop quiz: Is honey vegan? Answer at end of this article.)
Here behind Big Bronco Western Home Furnishings and next to Janey's Coffeehouse, regulars and newcomers are chowing down on the likes of nori wraps, zucchini noodles with marinara sauce and pesto over cucumber noodles.
There is more to this story than esoteric food in a land dominated by smokehouse barbecue. Chef Sara Siso started studying raw veganism when her sister was dying of cancer. Shortly after her sister passed away, Sara herself was diagnosed with cancer.
Siso insists that when her doctor gave her the crushing news that she had a cancerous tumor, she simply smiled and said, "I'll be cured in a month."
"I immediately started detoxifying with wheatgrass juices and green juices," she said. "Within a month of cleansing, I knew I had gotten rid of the cancer."
The energetic chef who never cooks is asked how she is now, some 15 years later. She puts her arms in the air victoriously. "Perfect!"
Her health is matched by prosperity, as her extreme-vegan cafe has been a hit.
On a weekday afternoon in mid-January, Chef Sara's Raw Vegan Cafe was in the restaurant limbo, with lunch slowly fading into dinner. As 4 o'clock neared, Siso was finishing up with a table of four having lunch on the deck, and getting started on a table with a couple who came from Surprise.
Naomi and Terry Oswalt had seen the raw vegan chef on Channel 3 that morning (Siso is a "Good Morning Arizona" guest about once a month), and heard the chef's story of overcoming cancer through diet. Naomi, who has had breast cancer treatment, asked her husband if they could try Sara's place for lunch. They arrived in Cave Creek just in time to catch a meal.
She starts them out with a green juice (leafy greens, cayenne pepper, garlic) they had seen Chef Sara make on one of her Channel 3 segments that morning. The couple took a few sips, then started wandering around the bright cafe, which features the chef's recipe books and various organic/alternative concoctions. "Finish your juice!" Chef Sara lightly but firmly scolds, shooing them back to their table. "It's very important to finish it within 15 minutes!"
After serving the Oswalts cream of spinach soup, the chef went back behind the counter to prepare one of her almost-famous Rawgasmic sandwich, made with onion bread, tahini, avocado, arugula, broccoli sprouts and sunflower sprouts. She sings along to "Beauty and the Beast" as she prepares the meal, and happily answers questions.
Siso celebrated the second anniversary of her cafe in early February. "It's been fantastic since day one," she says. "It's been a blessing."
Tall and slender with bright eyes and an intense gaze, Siso is a native of Israel who came to the United States 32 years ago. After her sister was diagnosed with cancer, "I received my education about the healing power of raw, plant-based foods at the number one alternative medicine facility in the world," Siso said. "I discovered Florida's Hippocrates Health Institute in 1997. I was so impressed with the program that I enrolled immediately and began my journey of discovering the disease-preventing and healing power of raw, plant-based foods."
She now fully believes in "the powers of living foods that nourish, cleanse, and alkalinize the body; the importance of food combination; and the powers of wheatgrass. During my stay at HHI, I saw with my own eyes the transformation in people's health, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
"The medical field chooses to call it a miracle when a patient is completely recovered from deadly disease. I, on the other hand, call it the power of raw, plant-based foods. I believe the food we choose to consume plays a vital role in healing the body, mind and soul."
After moving from Florida to Arizona, Siso was teaching workshops on how to live a raw vegan lifestyle before becoming a restaurant owner.
Why did she open this cafe in what formerly was a candle store?
"It picked me, I didn't pick it," she answered, her lean face breaking into a grin. "I never wanted this, even though people were always telling me, 'You need to open a restaurant.' I was sitting next door (at Janey's Coffeehouse) having herbal tea, and saw a sign on the roof saying 'for lease.' It drew me here."
The transformation from a candle store to a raw vegan cafe was easy, Chef Sara said. "I don't need a stove, I don't need a kitchen. All I need is a counter and a juicer!"
Even so, gaining a customer base in this area would not have seemed to be so easy. The other restaurants up and down Cave Creek Road feature fried chicken nights, all-you-can-eat fish fries, hamburger joints and hot dog stands.
"When I first opened they all thought I was crazy to open in the middle of a meat-and-potatoes place," she says with a shrug. "I said, 'Listen, people who need this kind of food will find me.' And they come here from Sedona and Tucson - all over."
Another thing that makes her unique is that this chef doesn't just prepare your food, she often seats you, takes your orders, serves you and delivers your bill. She only has one other employee, and darts around the cafe like one of those honey-bees when the cafe is busy.
She started with a staff of six, but, unhappy with employees that couldn't keep up with her pace, she cut back to just Carla Garnica. "She's the best I've ever had. She's wonderful, she learns fast. She was eager to learn, she loved everything about this place."
But how does Chef Sara put in the long hours of opening, prepping, shopping for organic vegetables, making all those lunches and dinners and all the other things that go into running a restaurant?
"I'm 60 years old and have energy coming out of my tush," she blurts out with a laughing exclamation point. She says her energy comes from the raw foods she eats, the juices and the wheatgrass shots. "Let food be your medicine and let the medicine be your food," is a favorite saying of hers.
Siso lives by herself in nearby Carefree. "I have one child," she says. "I was divorced for many, many years. I raised my daughter on my own. For 33 years I've been a single mother and proud of it! I did a great job." Her daughter Nicola, who received a master's degree from Harvard University, lives in Napa; Chef Sara is mulling over opening a second cafe near her daughter.
The only time she takes off is in July and August, when she closes the cafe. "It's too hot - the snowbirds all leave so it gets slowed down."
While Chef Sara serves the couple from Surprise their sandwich, a visitor's eyes wander around the painted inspirational messages around this good-vibe cafe:
"I live in peace and gratitude."
"Take joy in helping others and share your abundance."
"I connect with the energy of the universe."
At the entrance is an homage to Sara's inspiration for this lifestyle she is rapidly spreading: "In loving memories of my sister," reads a sign above big photo of her sister taken as she was floating in water, head above rippling waves. "03-17-1936 – 12-21-1997. Thank you Dina for the priceless gift of life that you gave me. I love & miss you so much."
While most restaurant owners are haggard and terminally exhausted, Sara Siso says running her cafe is an extension of her good-vibrations lifestyle. "I'm a cancer survivor. I like my peacefulness. I like my joy, not stress. To me this is joy. I like getting to know my customers and learning about them."
This seems to remind her of the couple, and she calls over to them: "How's your sandwich?"
"Oh! To die for!" answers Naomi Oswalt. "What's for dessert?"
Terry Oswalt, a 77-year-old former factory supervisor who seems like a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, agrees. "Delicious!" he says, with a note of surprise. "And so filling."
"And," his wife adds, "so healthy."
Answer to quiz question: Whether eating honey violates vegan practice is open to debate; some believe that honey produced for human consumption "exploits" bees, and thereby goes against the vegan philosophy. Those who feel this way substitute agave nectar for honey.

Sumter - Gov. Nikki Haley and two high profile health care advisors boarded a private plane to Bentonville, Ark., more than a year ago for a closed-door meeting with Wal-Mart executives. They hoped to convince the largest retailer in the country to launch a new primary care strategy in South Carolina.
Healthy Connections Checkup
The South Carolina Medicaid agency launched a new program called Healthy Connections Checkup on Friday.
It will provide preventive screenings and family-planning benefits to an estimated 300,000 residents who fall below 194 percent of the federal poverty level.
The program is less comprehensive than traditional Medicaid, but it will cover adults who are ineligible for the regular low-income health insurance program.
It's also much less expensive to administer. Healthy Connections Checkup costs the state approximately $300 per person per year, compared to at least $3,000 a year for regular Medicaid.
"We've put public health and prevention and screenings front and center where it should be," said Medicaid Director Tony Keck.
Critics argue that the program is well-intentioned, but that it will not benefit uninsured patients who are truly sick because it only covers the cost of screening, not actual treatment.
Keck replied, "There are many, many organizations that see people for free or for a reduced cost. When we find people who need care and aren't able to pay for it, we can connect them."
For more information, visit www.scdhhs.gov.
"We told Wal-Mart, 'We think this is perfect,'" said Tony Keck, director of the state Medicaid agency, who attended the meeting.
It seems Wal-Mart agreed. On Thursday, the company opened its fourth and fifth "Care Clinics" in Sumter and Florence.
The first three clinics, staffed by licensed nurse practitioners, are already up and running in Texas.
Although most stores have long included low-cost pharmacies, these five sites represent the company's first foray into primary care.
Wal-Mart has not announced where it will expand the model beyond the two pilot states.
"For our associates and dependents on the health plan, you can come and see a provider in the Wal-Mart Care Clinic for $4. Four dollars! That is setting a new retail price in the health care industry," said Jennifer LaPerre, senior director for the company's health and wellness program, during the Sumter clinic's grand opening Thursday.
Wal-Mart has long drawn criticism for the health care benefits it offers its low-income employees. A May report published by the Americans for Tax Fairness estimates Wal-Mart's 1.4 million workers rely on $6.2 billion worth of public assistance programs every year, including food stamps and Medicaid. The new Care Clinics are open for both employees and customers, but employees will pay a fraction of the fees charged to the general public.
A spokeswoman for the company said she anticipates 1,200 Wal-Mart staff in Sumter and Florence will benefit from the new clinics.
Customers pay $40 for appointments and additional fees for lab work. The Care Clinics only accept fee-for-service Medicaid and Medicare plans. Privately insured patients pay the same amount for services as uninsured patients.
Advocates for the new model call it cutting edge. They say the Care Clinics increase access to the health system by putting providers right in the front of Wal-Mart stores where thousands of people pass by every day. Many of those shoppers live on middle-to-low incomes and need help managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Meanwhile, critics worry that the seen-as-you-need-to-be-seen clinics may undermine traditional doctor-patient relationships.
"That's not a medical home," said Shelli Quenga, programs director for the nonprofit Palmetto Project. "So how do we say, 'It's OK to go to this place for intermediate care, but you need somebody who knows you?'"
Both South Carolina sites were strategically chosen because many of the state's sickest, low-income residents live there.
"I think this is good news and bad news," said Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen. "The bad news is, I guess, the two are being opened in Florence and Sumter because we have lots of people who need service. The good news is that it is affordable."
Keck said South Carolina's significant physician shortage demands new solutions and leaves no room for detractors to complain.
"We have to have every access point possible in the system," he said. "We should be happy about it."
Bernadette Simmons, an assistant manager at the Sumter Wal-Mart, does not have health insurance through the company - she's been employed there since May - but she only paid $36 for a visit and lab work during her first appointment at the new clinic on Thursday.
"You cannot beat that," the 45-year-old said. She had some pain in her feet and her knee that she wanted checked out, and the nurse determined that her blood pressure was "borderline." An outpatient practice in town would have charged her $86 for the visit alone, she said.
"This (clinic) is needed in the community because everyone doesn't have insurance and really can't afford to go to the doctor because of the expense," Simmons said. "It's been the talk. It's been buzzing. We're very excited."
Haley was not available to answer questions about the pilot program, but her spokesman Doug Mayer said in a statement that the clinics "won't just make us healthier but will help to drive down costs, and that's a win for every person in our state."
The Arkansas trip was not paid for by the state, Mayer said. Department of Health and Environmental Control Director Catherine Templeton also attended the meeting with Wal-Mart executives, he said.

Can someone with some knowledge in this areas provide the basics of what this means to us? It would be frustrating to plan a trip somewhere only to find out that the charging station at the location is not compatible with our cars. Thanks

Looting extends in Argentina: two people shot dead, dozens injured in clashes with police
A rash of looting and ransacking of supermarkets in Argentine major cities and several provinces left two people killed, dozens injured and hundreds arrested. The looting and vandalizing of supermarkets began in the Patagonian resort of Bariloche on Thursday and seemingly triggered a knock-on effect across different provinces, as similar incidents began to arise in Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Chaco provinces.
In Rosario one of the victims of the clashes between looters and police, identified as Carina Paz, 36, was shot in the head whilst entering a supermarket. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Rosario police also said that a man was killed after being shot in the chest in Villa Gobernador Gálvez, a town located on the southern fringe of Rosario City.
Argentina's second largest city media reported that at least 25 attacks on supermarkets, furniture stores and small shops were being carried out in the Rosario area.
Various local government officials spoke with reporters over the action being taken in order to control the chaos caused in the different towns and cities.
In Campana, the town's cabinet chief Claudio Rodríguez, assured that over one hundred people had been arrested. "We haven't ruled out a possible political connection," to the crimes, the official added.
Even in the high income neighbourhood of San Fernando famous for its marinas on the Parana River 20 miles north of Buenos Aires police forces had to fight back looters.
Meanwhile four hundred Border Guard officers, deployed by the federal government to Bariloche on Friday to enforce police control after Thursday's violent supermarket looting incidents, which saw more than 33 people injured. Yesterday five large supermarkets were ransacked, leading to violent clashes between police and looters.
According to official reports during night clashes as police tried to restore order, thirty-three people were reported to have been injured including 18 police officers and 15 teenagers.
From El Calafate in Santa Cruz province, President Cristina Fernandez agenda to spend a quiet peaceful family Christmas reunion has been altered. Since arriving on Thursday evening she has been in contact with the cabinet and governors to try and contain the situation from further spreading, and looking for culprits.
At first it was suspected that frictions and disputes inside the ruling Victory Front in the province of Rio Negro to which Bariloche belongs could be behind the uprising or even police discontent following the elimination of special riot units in the province.
However this was quickly discarded after the rival factions closed ranks and the at times overwhelmed Rio Negro police force was relieved to receive support from the gendarmerie.
Now the government guns are pointing to the dissident organized labour led by Hugo Moyano and his allies but this still has to be proved and obviously was rejected point blank by these organizations.

Kidney Stone Treatments
Observation of kidney stones involves waiting for a kidney stone to pass on its own without intervention (spontaneous passage). The rate of spontaneous passage is determined by the stone size and location.
- High rate of passage: < 4 mm size and distal ureter (near bladder)
- Low rate of passage: > 6 mm size and proximal ureter (near kidney)
During observation, pain medications are prescribed and the patient is instructed to drink a lot of water (> 2 liters/day) and strain the urine to catch the stone if it passes.
Observation is not an option with a coexisting infection, severe pain not controlled with medications, intractable nausea and vomiting, and in patients with underlying kidney disease.
If observation is not indicated or the stone does not pass while on observation for 2-3 weeks, then intervention is necessary.
Shock waves from a machine (lithotriptor) are focused onto stones in the kidney or ureter. The shock waves pass through the body and hit the stone, causing it to fragment into small pieces.
Because of possible discomfort from the procedure, patients will receive anesthesia during lithotripsy. A stent may have to be placed in the ureter through the urethra prior to SWL to help stone fragments pass down the ureter after treatment.
- Success rates: 50-80% depending on stone size and location.
- Possible complications: Bleeding in kidney (renal hematoma), obstruction duringpassage of stone fragments (steinstrasse), hypertension, adjacent organ injury and bruising of skin.
- Hospital stay and recovery: This is the least invasive intervention and is performed asan outpatient procedure (no overnight hospital stay). Recovery time is short and most people are back to normal activity in a few days.
Ureteroscopy involves treating stones in the ureter and kidney with a small fiberoptic telescope (ureteroscope) inserted through the opening in the urethra (NO incision). Stones are either grasped and removed or broken into tiny pieces with a laser.
After the procedure a small tube (stent) may be placed in the ureter for a few days to allow the lining of the ureter to heal. The doctor will remove the stent at a follow up appointment.
- Success rates: 75-100% depending on stone size and location
- Possible complications: Damage to the ureter, infection, bleeding, ureteral stricture (narrowing).
- Hospital stay and recovery: Most cases performed as an outpatient procedure. Recovery time is short and most people are back to normal activity in 1-2 weeks.
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy involves treating kidney stones in the kidney by making a one-inch incision in the back and creating a tunnel through the kidney to the stone.
Through the tunnel the doctor uses a fiberoptic telescope (nephroscope) to either remove the stone or break it up into tiny pieces using a laser, ultrasound probe, or pneumatic device (jack-hammer).
After the procedure a tube is placed in the kidney (nephrostomy tube) and the ureter (stent) to drain the kidney and allow it to heal. The doctor will remove these after X-rays have shown that the kidney has healed and all the stones have been removed.
X-rays will be done on the day after surgery to confirm that all of the stones have been removed. If stones are still present then another procedure (2nd look) will be performed to remove any remaining fragments.
- Success rates: 70-99% depending on stone size and location
- Possible complications: Bleeding, infection, urinary injury, pneumothorax (air around the lung), adjacent organ injury
- Hospital stay and recovery: 1-2 day hospital stay with 2-4 weeks until back to full activity
Open stone surgery involves making an incision with a knife to remove stones. While this was the original form of treatment for all stones, today it comprises < 5% of all treatments for renal
Because of the expertise of our faculty in removing stones in a minimally invasive fashion at Emory, we rarely if ever resort to this treatment option.

Girls barred from Utah dance for short dresses
A Utah high school principal has apologized to dozens of teens who were turned away from their homecoming dance because their dresses were deemed too short.
Stansbury High principal Kendall Topham held four assemblies Monday, telling students the school's dress code policy was too vague to be properly enforced and vowing to hold a free dance to make up for Saturday's dress debacle.
Students and parents took to Facebook over the weekend to protest what they called a "homecoming spirit massacre." They posted examples of sparkly dresses an inch or two above the knee that school officials said broke the rules.
Before the dance, students say they were told dresses "at or near the knee" would be allowed.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports as many as half the students who planned to go to the dance in Tooele (too-WILL'-uh) left after their friends were turned away.

By Bio-IT World Staff
November 8, 2013 | One year after the release of DNASTAR's first BaseSpace app — the SeqMan NGen app for de novo bacterial genome assembly — the company has announced a significant upgrade of its product line within Illumina's BaseSpace cloud. An expanded SeqMan NGen app will allow either de novo or reference-guided assemblies of genomes from any organism, not just bacteria, and introduce preliminary analytics capabilities like RNAseq, ChIPseq, and SNP calling. The newly-released SeqMan Pro app, meanwhile, will provide a more advanced layer of analytics for assembled genomes, adding filters to identify and annotate variants and regions of interest. These apps are pay-for-use analytical tools, representing DNASTAR's first commercial presence in BaseSpace. Both apps went live on BaseSpace today after clearing Illumina's quality control process, and are now available to all users of MiSeq and HiSeq instruments connected to the cloud.
DNASTAR has been a dominant player in desktop software for sequence assembly and analysis since the 1980s, but only in the past year has the company come to embrace cloud computing as a part of the analysis ecosystem. When the original SeqMan NGen app was placed on BaseSpace in November of 2012, DNASTAR had never before offered cloud functionality on any platform. The original SeqMan NGen took a single function from DNASTAR's flagship Lasergene Genomics Suite, and offered it for free as an experimental foray into the cloud. "Most of the people who have tried our app on BaseSpace have been new to DNASTAR," Tom Schwei, the company's Vice President, CFO and General Manager, told Bio-IT World. "That's good news. That's exactly what we hoped to get from it, which is exposure to people who weren't otherwise thinking about DNASTAR software."
Now, a year later, DNASTAR's expanded presence in BaseSpace is only a small piece of the company's rapid move into the cloud. This May, the latest update of Lasergene introduced full cloud functionality through the Amazon Cloud, allowing users to easily collaborate on projects long-distance, store their data securely off-site, and access Lasergene tools through mobile devices. This functionality now comes bundled automatically with the Lasergene software. "We view [the cloud] as complementary, not a replacement for desktop licenses," says Schwei, who notes that the Lasergene suite remains an all-inclusive, end-to-end analytical pipeline, and not the piecemeal, application-based solution that Illumina envisions arising in the cloud.
Still, the pair of SeqMan apps released today flirt with a new business model for DNASTAR. Like the original SeqMan NGen app, they lift their operations directly from Lasergene; but unlike their predecessor, the new SeqMan NGen and SeqMan Pro apps are pay-for-use, charging BaseSpace customers for daily, weekly, or monthly access. They also make it easier than Lasergene to mix and match workflows with other developers' software, by moving users' data seamlessly between BaseSpace apps. This integration into the pick-and-choose BaseSpace pipeline is largely mandated by Illumina, which requires app developers to make any data generated with their tools fully transferable within the BaseSpace cloud. Ultimately, the chance to reach out directly to Illumina's massive customer base proved too promising to pass up. "It's an opportunity for us to generate some new revenue, some new leads," says Schwei. "If [the customers] want to work on BaseSpace, then we want to be there."
For the time being, DNASTAR's apps will find it easy to coexist with the more comprehensive Lasergene suite, striking a balance between offering a flexible set of tools not available elsewhere on BaseSpace, and reserving significant functionality for those who purchase desktop licenses. "We're ahead of the game right now," says Schwei. "Most of our customers aren't yet that interested in the cloud – but I think that in the next year or two, we're going to see some more movement there, and we're well prepared for it. All our software is up there, and will continue to be there for the foreseeable future." If end-to-end enterprise software remains the gold standard for genetic analysis, DNASTAR's apps should provide a valuable point of contact with new customers. And if the cloud ecosystem proves more disruptive to the desktop model, this early entry into BaseSpace might be the edge DNASTAR needs to stay competitive in a new informatics arena where niche developers find it easy to add niche tools to a comprehensive pipeline.

Arthur's Seat
Along with Calton Hill and Castle Rock, Arthur's Seat forms part of the ridge of cold volcanoes that give such drama to the Edinburgh skyline. The mountain sits in Holyrood Park, 650 acres (260 hectares) of wild parkland just a short walk from the Royal Mile. So you can be shopping for Argyle socks one moment and roaming around lochs and moorland the next! From some angles, the mini-mountain resembles a sleeping lion. It's perhaps seen at its best in the mellow light of sunset.
Arthur's Seat is no Everest, and if you want to climb it there are several easy ascents. If you're reasonably fit and keep striding you could make it in half an hour, but even if you're less fit or want to gaze at the scenery, an hour should take you to the top. Be careful on rainy days when the rocks are slippery.
Practical Info
One of the easiest ways up Arthur's Seat starts from the carpark near Queen's Drive, near Holyrood Palace. Once up the top you'll be rewarded with expansive views of the city, the Castle and Salisbury Crags. On a good day you can even see the Firth of Forth.

There are two principle geometrical arrangements which may explain Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) microlensing: a) halo-lensing, in which the lensed object is part of the Milky Way galactic halo and b) self-lensing, in which the lensed object is part of the LMC. Self-lensing in turn may be broken into two categories: LMC-LMC self-lensing, in which both the source and the lens reside in the LMC and background self-lensing, in which the lens is a star in the LMC and the source star is drawn from some population behind the LMC. Models suggest the contribution of LMC-LMC self-lensing is small, so the nature of LMC microlensing may be estimated from the location of the microlensing source stars. If the source stars are in the LMC then microlensing is dominated by halo-lensing; conversely if the source stars are located behind the LMC then microlensing is dominated by self-lensing. Since background populations reside behind the LMC, we expect them to be both redder and fainter then the average population of the LMC. We attempt to determine if the MACHO source stars come from such a background population by comparing the HST color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of source stars to the CMD of the average population of the LMC and looking for the effects of extra reddening and extinction. The microlensing source stars are identified by deriving accurate centroids in the ground-based MACHO images using difference image analysis (DIA) and then transforming the DIA coordinates to the HST frame. Preliminary results suggest that halo-lensing accounts for \gtrsim 40% of the observed microlensing results.

The Affordable Care Act made admirable strides toward the "triple aim" of reducing health care costs, increasing health care quality, and improving the health of the community at large. A key element of reform is the accountable care organization (ACO), which restructures health care delivery such that networks of providers are held responsible for a group of patients they serve. The recently announced Medicare ACO program lays the foundation for 2 of its 3 major goals by allowing ACOs to share in any cost savings, provided they meet quality criteria. Yet it seems that the public health goals of accountable care—arguably the most important of the 3—have been left behind. To better address public health goals, we propose a novel method for quality reporting within ACOs: introducing an "expanded denominator" that attributes patients to a health system if they have ever been seen within the system. An expanded denominator would ensure that ACOs are held accountable not only for patients already engaged in primary care but also for patients with fragmented care and high-risk community members not receiving adequate care. Ultimately, payment reform in Medicare, and potentially Medicaid, must support this new approach to quality measurement for it to have lasting ramifications.

AS RECENTLY AS THIS SPRING, JULIE Warner's career seemed like it had already gone to the dogs. She was appearing in living rooms everywhere in an Alpo commercial, rendering plaintive lines to a panting dalmatian: "Someday, Jesse, we'll have a big house and a yard for you to play in...."
Then—almost faster than you could say "Here, boy!"—Warner, 26, a product of private school and the Ivy League, a hitherto unknown who had been struggling in L.A. for a year and a half waitressing and working for a caterer, landed the starring role in the good-humored romantic lark Doc Hollywood.
The cherubic, sensuous beauty beat out 80 other actresses for the chance to play a down-home ambulance driver who rescues plastic surgeon Fox from his shallow dream of a lucrative nip-and-tuck practice in Beverly Hills. "She's really, really sexy," says Fox, who agreed with director Michael Caton-Jones's selection of his sultry costar, who first appears fetchingly nude from a chilling skinny-dip outdoors. "Of course, the fact that she's naked in one scene probably doesn't hurt. And she's also a couple of inches shorter than me, which was a happy coincidence." Says the 5'2" Warner with a chuckle: "We were like Mickey and Minnie, but onscreen, who can tell?"
Offscreen, Warner's romantic interest is 6' actor Hank Azaria, 27, with whom she has shared a sunny, commodious two-bedroom West Hollywood apartment for the past year. Azaria does gruff and goofy voices on The Simpsons (including the 7-Eleven manager Apu the Indian and Mo the bartender), and this fall will star as a magazine writer in the Fox series Herman's Head.
Azaria, who worshiped Warner from afar in acting class for six months before he dared to ask her out, remains astonished by the brass beneath the beauty. "You don't expect someone who looks like her to be so tough," he says. "It knocked me for a loop." For her part, Warner credits her beau for her levelheaded attitude. "He made me feel like I belonged here," she says.
"Here" is a long way from Warner's comfy East Coast childhood. Raised on Manhattan's Upper West Side, she is the older of two children born to Neil Warner, a successful jingle composer (hummable ditties for Tic Tacs and Dunkin' Donuts, among others), and Naomi, who works as a licensing director for art book publisher Harry Abrams. (Julie's 16-year-old brother, Jim, is a junior at Manhattan's prestigious Dalton School.)
As a teenager at Dalton, Julie caught an acting bug no Doc Hollywood could cure: Other victims included schoolmates Jennifer (Dirty Dancing) Grey, Mary Stuart (Immediate Family) Masterson and Tracy (Bright Lights, Big City) Pollan. Pollan, of course, just happens to be Michael J. Fox's wife, though Warner says that they hardly knew each other at school, and Pollan had no part in her getting the role. "Dalton was for the rich and famous," says Warner. "I can remember Robert Redford coming to talk to his daughter's teacher and a bunch of 12-year-olds chasing him down Park Avenue."
As a child, Warner never acted in any commercials her father worked on, but when she was 15 she landed a two-day cameo on The Guiding Light, playing a girl who had a crush on then-cast member Kevin Bacon.
A crush would not be an issue with her next major costar. After graduating from Brown University, Warner headed west, where she landed a part in Andrew Dice Clay's show, The Diceman Cometh. "I didn't know who the hell he was," she recalls. "I thought he was an Elvis impersonator. But he was the sweetest guy in the world."
The deep blush of sudden success recently came clear to Warner when she took her parents to a screening of Doc Hollywood in New York City. At the last moment her mom and dad switched seats, moving away from their daughter in the process. That spared Warner the awkwardness of watching her dad see her loom out of a lake like a Venus with goose bumps. "I didn't want him to feel like he had to avert his eyes if he were next to me," she says. "I think about people who do these sex scenes from hell, and I'd be really embarrassed to have my folks watching that. I'm not a nun, but still...."
And she's no trendoid either. After work, Warner prefers rearranging furniture with Azaria or renting videos to glitzy Bar One-hopping. "I'm not sucked up by the glamour of it all," she says pluckily. "Anything can fall apart at the drop of a hat. But no matter what, I know I'll be okay."

£20,000 + per year
IT trainers design and deliver computer courses. They work in the training departments of large organisations, and for IT training companies, colleges and universities. If you're interested in IT and like the idea of showing people how to get the most from computers, this could be just the job you're looking for.
To become an IT trainer, you'll need knowledge of IT programs and systems. You'll also need excellent spoken and written communication skills, and the ability to adapt to your learners' abilities.
You can become an IT trainer in several ways. You're likely to need qualifications in both IT and training/teaching.
As an IT trainer, you can deliver courses ranging from commonly used programs like word processing and spreadsheets, to technical areas such as programming or PC maintenance. If you work for a company, you may provide in-house training, for example teaching accounts staff how to use a new payroll system.

A lot of training is available online, so you're likely to design e-learning materials to support learners in a virtual learning environment.
In a full-time job you'll usually work 37 to 40 hours a week, Monday to Friday. Sometimes you may need to work evenings or weekends to meet client requirements.
Part-time work is often available.
Your workplace will vary depending on your employer. For example, you may work at several college sites and travel between them, or you may be based at a training centre full-time. If you work for a private training company, your job is likely to involve local and regional travel. If you work for a large international organisation, you may also be expected to travel abroad.
Starting salaries for IT trainers can be around £20,000 a year.
Experienced trainers can earn between £21,000 and £29,000 a year, and IT trainers with management responsibilities can earn up to £40,000 a year. Project managers can earn considerably more.
Figures are intended as a guideline only.
You can become an IT trainer in several ways. You can work as an IT professional and learn skills through your job experience, then qualify as a trainer or teacher of IT. Or you can start as a general trainer and then specialise in IT skills. You'll need an advanced IT qualification, plus qualifications in training or teaching.
Several IT qualifications cover the major desktop programs and uses of a computer, including:

The agreement runs Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2014, and includes annual 2 percent raises for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and others represented by SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, an arm of Service Employees International Union.Allentown and Fountain Hill, officials said.
"I think it's a fair agreement for the employees and a fair agreement for the county," Commissioner Bill Hansell said at the meeting. The board voted 9-0 in favor of the memorandum of understanding.A group of about five Cedarbrook employees, some of them dressed in nursing scrubs, attended the meeting and left immediately after the commissioners' vote on the agreement.
An SEIU representative could not immediately be reached for comment about the new memorandum of understanding. The current agreement, the county's first with SEIU, ends on Saturday.
County Chief of Staff Frank Kane said Executive Don Cunningham helped negotiate the deal and plans to sign off on the agreement.

Otagawa River Embankment
The Otagawa River flows in five branches in the city of Hiroshima. In early 1970s, when the river management bureau intended to launch an embankment improvement plan, discussions arose among citizens on environmental concerns. Nakamura was then asked in 1976 to conduct a two-year sociological study of citizens' attitude to the river. Following the findings, the Otagawa River bureau gave up its original plan of concrete walled bank protection, and commissioned Nakamura's team for a new design pattern that would incorporate both cultural and environmental aspects. The new design divides the embankment into three zones, each with a different section that supports its particular landscape: zone A (1979/10–1983/10), zone B (1989/10–1982/03) and zone C (1985/10–1997/06). Traditional jetties, existing park and waterfront terraces are integrated into the infrastructural embankment of flood control. As a result, local people return to the waterfront for meditation and recreation. The river is thus brought back to life through the innovative engineering, as well as civic/festival activities that it stimulates. In 2004, the project was awarded the Design Grand Prix by JSCE (Japan Society of civil Engineers).

How much do you love Superman? Enough to shell out $129.95 for an eight-disc set of just about every Superman-related film ever?
A new Blu-ray anthology set comes out June 7, featuring all four Christopher Reeve films, a director's cut of 'Superman II,' 'Superman Returns,' and a disc full of just extras, in addition to the extras featured on the other discs.
What else do you get for that hefty price tag?
Besides 20 hours of commentaries, deleted scenes and making-of features galore, you also get several vintage cartoons, including several WB entries from the '40s like "Snafuperman' and 'Stupor Duck.' And last, but not least, the 1958 pilot for a TV series called 'The Adventures of Superpup.'
Many of these features are already available on DVD, but, according to Topless Robot, this set is likely to be the only way to get the non-Richard Donner cuts of 'Superman II,' III or IV on Blu-ray.
What do you think, is this worth your hard-earned cash? Do even diehard Man of Steel fans need to own the much-hated comedic turn to the dark side, 'Superman III' or the series killer, 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace?' A full list of features after the jump.
