J.J. Abrams from Tom Cruise Movie 'Mission: Impossible III' Discusses Writers and Spielberg
n't realize that the notion of "six degrees of separation" really seems to apply to his life as a filmmaker. In a recent Variety article, Abrams' work as a writer, producer, and director over the years is highlighted, along with the people who have helped him conquer Hollywood, both on the big and small screen: Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of "Lost," was a first-time showrunner and put in charge because Abra…

Halloween Movies: War of the Worlds On Jack FM Top 25 Scariest Movies List!
The Tom Cruise movie War of the Worlds is based on one of the scariest and most successful Halloween pranks ever: the Mercury Radio performance of the H. G. Wells classic story that nearly sparked a panic upon its broadcast in 1938. With roots so firmly planted in scaring the wits out of people – and the Halloween holiday nearly here – it's easy to see how Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds made the Jack FM list f…

The Villains of Mission: Impossible
Michael Nyqvist as Kurt Hendricks in 'Mission: Impossible 4′ is out to set off a nuclear war. Movie villains!!! Can't live with them(they tend to be homicidal, self-serving, double-crossing, and just plain mean) and can't live without them (what a boring trip to the cinema it would be without someone to add heavy doses of unpredictability and pure venality!). But just as we all have a favorite Hollywood hero, most of us…

Bungie founder Seropian tapped VP of creative
Disney Interactive Studios has acquired Wideload Games, which adds one of the videogame industry's top stars to the Mouse House's videogame division.
Alexander Seropian, who founded Bungie Software (behind Microsoft's successful "Halo" franchise) before launching Wideload in 2003, has been tapped to oversee creative development at Disney Interactive, as part of the purchase.
The newly created VP post essentially puts Seropian in charge of overseeing the upcoming games that Disney will develop and publish. He reports to Jean-Marcel Nicolai, senior VP of global product development at Disney Interactive.
"In leading the studio that created 'Halo,' (Seropian) helped turn great storytelling, exceptional design and polished gameplay into the killer app for Xbox," said Graham Hopper, exec VP and general manager, Disney Interactive Studios. Bringing Seropian into the Mouse fold is part of an effort to "enable the company to take an even more significant role in developing industry leading products," Hopper added.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the addition of Wideload should help Disney bolster its gaming division with new talent. Pact comes as Warner Bros. makes big buys to ramp up its internal videogame arm, having recently picked up Midway Games (the "Tomb Raider" and "Spy Hunter" franchises).
Wideload Games prexy Tom Kang will continue to head up the Chicago-based company, with 25 staffers, as studio director.
It will continue to create properties that target a broad audience; it is developing an unnamed family title that Disney Interactive will release to consoles next year.
Company's Wideload Shorts division will also continue to produce original downloadable content for mobile devices.
Seropian had been founder and CEO of Wideload since 2003, and produced the games "Rebel Without a Pulse," "Hail to the Chimp," "Texas Cheat 'Em" and "Cyclomite."
He began his vidgame career in 1991 as founder and CEO of Bungie, which Microsoft acquired in 2000 and "Halo" bowed a year later, exclusive to the Xbox. Company credits include the "Myth" and "Marathon" titles.
"Joining Disney is an ideal next step, both for our studio and me," Seropian said, noting that Wideload's approach to game development "borrows many techniques from the film industry."

Arrangement & description, also called "processing," is an archival function that is the often necessary link between the acquisition of new collections and our making those collections effectively accessible to researchers. Many newly acquired collections arrive at the AHC (as at all repositories) with little or no discernable order to the material-sometimes hundreds of boxes of such disorganized material. On the one hand its current state is such that a researcher would have to be lucky to find any particular documents or information in the collection; on the other hand if such collections were given too meticulous an organization-or their contents described in too much detail-it would take so long to "process" the collection that researchers would have to wait years.
Arrangement and description results in published catalog records and inventories about collections that are intended to make the collections usable to researchers.

Let's Start A Maternity Fashion Inspiration Post!
Dress: Max Studio
Pearls: Purchased on Hautelook for my wedding
I'm living in Gap maternity legging jeans, with flats or boots. Also just ordered a few things from Pink Blush Maternity.
This is so fun! I just bought some stuff because I don't really go anywhere since my job is a home job. I've been living in my new Old Navy pj shorts and pants. When I do go out, I wear a lot of dresses. I've been trying jeans with belly bands, but by the end of the day my bloating gets painful if I'm wearing jeans. I'll probably buy one great pair of dark skinny maternity jeans. I live in Hawaii, but I'm a total Fall/Winter fashion girl (we're moving back to Cali in a couple years, don't worry :o)). I bought a couple of tank dresses from Old Navy, a polka dot sweater to wear when I go home for Xmas, and some VS sweats and long legging Ts. I plan to buy more stuff at H&M when I go home. I love that striped dress with the trench. I also love anything with stripes, preggo or not :o).
Marilyn (33) & Alex (36) TTC #1 since 9/11
FYI - I know a lot of women try to just wear there normal clothes and while it's ok for some things, just remember that even if it stretches to fit, that it probably will not unstrech...meaning it will not fit you post pregnancy. I know I had several shirts and leggings from my first pregnancy that were unwearable post pregnancy because then they were too big post. I do not recommend stretching all of your clothes or you'll end up needing a new wardrobe anyway!
I think this is a cute weekend outfit...

Here are 10 tips for Interview Preparation (for TV). These are practical suggestions for media relations pros from BurrellesLuce.
1. Bring in a coach. An outside pro can infuse the training sessions with realism— and toughness —which should help keep you off the firing line.
2. Practice on camera. That unblinking eye catches each stumble, mumble and sideways glance. Fix the problems when your audience is a dozen, not a million.
3. Control unspoken cues. Look down when a tough question is asked, and what you say next won't matter. A spokesperson must have the control of an actor.
4. Inject key messages. Work these themes into interviews and other communications. Be ready to support them with examples and statistics.
5. Take command of your answer. This is a corollary to injecting key messages. You can't control the questions, but you can learn to gracefully "bridge" from the question asked to the topic you'd rather discuss.
6. Have a conversation. In most situations look at the interviewer, not the camera. Try to relax and speak in a conversational tone. It's an interview, not a speech.
7. Be ready with sound bites. For TV especially, time is short. Develop brief, pithy statements that present your messages vividly.
8. Dress for success. Whites look too bright under TV lights and stripes can shimmer distractingly, so wear blue or beige solids. Never let them see you sweat.
9. Think past the camera to the audience. How do viewers' interests mesh with the interests of your company or client? Use the interview as a way to make that connection.
10. Know what the reporter is after. It's acceptable to ask up front what the story is about and how the reporter or producer sees you fitting in.
BottomLine: Reporters often save the tough questions for last. Some will ask to go "off the record" or continue questioning after the interview seems to be finished. But watch out. Even in such unguarded moments, your answers are still official.

4 Easy Ways to Decorate Your Home for Fall With the Kids
by Mary
After Halloween is over, it seems kind of silly to keep spooky home decorations like ghosts and goblins out on display. But you can still keep your home festive for fall even though we still have a month or so to go before the holidays kick in. I mean, fall doesn't have to equal Halloween, right?
And what better way to stop your kids from whining about their candy being gone than to get them involved in helping you turn your home into a fall wonderland?
Take this lovely arrangement of mums, gourds, and pumpkins, for example. The myriad of colors are a perfect fit for autumn, and this makes a great display, inside or out.
And if pumpkins and gourds really aren't you're thing, here are a few more great fall inspired ideas to fall back on to adorn your home with.
Colorful leaves -- Let's face it, they're everywhere right now, so you might as well turn decorating into a fun activity. Take the kids outside and have them gather up the prettiest leaves they can find, then bring them in and dress up your mantel, or even use them as a centerpiece.
Candles -- With Frankenstorm looming over the east coast this week, now is the perfect time to take warm colored candles out of storage and put them in every room of your house. (Might as well kill two birds with one stone.)
Corn husks -- All you need is a basket and a bunch of different colors of corn to create the perfect fall accent for any room in your home.
What fun fall decorations have you put up in your home?
Autumn is one of my favorite decorating times. I leave pumpkins out from October 1st through Thanksgiving.
I love the fall colors and love to bring the outdoor fallness in! So I decorate with grapevines, leaves. Have been know to go to the farm behind me and use cornstalks for out doors and old corn for in! =)
We'll get some pumpkins to put on the front steps. We steer clear of mums and candles. They are both killers for our allergies.
We have window clings, spider webs, lots of handprint art, and paper chain is being worked on.

Game #5: New York Yankees 3, Baltimore Orioles 1
The Orioles' pitchers did their job last night, but the offense couldn't muster much off of Yankees' starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia. Jason Hammel was the losing pitcher as he worked the first 5 2/3 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 runs (both earned), 2 walks and he whiffed 6 batters. Troy Patton had a rough go of it as he gave up a homer to Curtis Granderson. Patton gave up 1 hit, 1 run (it was earned) while whiffing 3 batters and walking none in only 1 1/3 innings. Pedro Strop and Brian Matusz combined to work a scoreless 8th inning for the Orioles last night. Nate McLouth (1 for 4), Matt Wieters (1 for 3 with a run scored and a walk), Lew Ford (1 for 3 with an RBI) and Robert Andino (1 for 3) led the way for the O's with the bats last night. The Orioles were only 4 of 30 (.133 avg) with 2 walks and 9 whiffs in this game. The Orioles' season is now over as they lost this series 3-2.

"Thanksgiving week 1977 will be remembered as the time of the greatest horror and panic in the history of Los Angeles...in a mere nine days, five more bodies, all of them nude young women or girls, turned up on hillsides in the Glendale-Highland Park area, and connections among them were obvious to everyone." This grisly book is about Angelo Buono and Kenny Bianchi, who became known as "The Hillside Stranglers." Buono, who repaired car upholstery, had four wives and eight children before he settled into steady womanizing. Bianchi, his younger cousin from Rochester, N.Y., joined him, and before long they were pimping for prostitutes. Shortly afterward they began picking up women, performing sadistic sex acts with them and murdering them. Ten women died before the men were caught and then, because of legal complications, Buono almost went free. O'Brien, author of five other books, has written a horrifying story about real events. Much of it, he says, came from 300 interviews and the 57,079-page Buono trial transcript. (Both men received life sentences.) This is a vivid account of depravity spelled out in gruesome detail. It leaves so hideous an aftertaste it cannot be recommended except to students of abnormal psychology who are strong of stomach. (New American Library, $17.95)

Mitchell Guist, one of the crocodile-hunting stars of The History Channel series Swamp People, died in Louisiana on Monday.
Authorities confirmed the news to Baton Rouge's WBRZ.com, adding that the incident occurred around 9 a.m. along the Belle River. CPR was attempted but attempts to resuscitate Guist were not successful.
The cause of death has not been reported.
"We are extremely saddened to report that our friend and beloved member of the Swamp People family, Mitchell Guist, has passed away earlier today," The History Channel said in a statement.
"Mitchell passed on the swamp, doing what he loved. We appreciate your respect for the Guist family's privacy and hope you join us in sending our thoughts and prayers to his brother, Glenn, and the rest of the Guist family."
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Guist fell from his boat, and witnesses report that he appeared to be suffering from a seizure.
According to the Swamp People website, Guist and his brother "were born and raised on the bayou and live entirely off the land."

grey vinyl, not the best pressing quality "Biomechanoid is the classic 1980 album by Joel Vandroogenbroeck. It's 1980, in Munich, Germany, upstart production music label Coloursound Library releases their debut album. Capitalising on the success of Ridley Scott's Alien film, the label dropped Biomechanoid, featuring cover art commissioned by HR Giger - whose horrific Necronom IV lithograph served as the basis for the design of Alien - and the music of the relatively unknown Joel Vandroogenbroeck. Comprised of bleak, cinematic synth soundscapes and percussion, the album served as an inaugural calling card for what would be a decade of dizzying solo releases by Vandroogenbroeck for Coloursound, running the gamut from Mesopotamian ethno-folk to synth sequencer funk to electro drum breaks to in-utero ambient delights."

Summer Crostata {Peach, Cherry & Blueberry}
May I introduce you to my Summer Crostata? Say hello to a moment of relaxation and summer fun!
It is peach season!!! Hungry hubby and I purchased a bushel of organic peaches at our local farmers market, then my neighbor gave us another bushel of white peaches from north Georgia as a thank you for taking care of their sweet sweet dogs while they were on vacation (THANK YOU!)
This is a fruit that I LOVE to cook with (or eat whole) because it is naturally SO sweet. This means that when you bake with it, there isn't a need for added sugar!
I paired our super sweet peaches with blueberries from our garden and some fresh cherries. Super simple, perfectly sweet and delicious!
And EASY! This is a rustic version of a pie and takes much less time to put together which means taking 5-10 minutes with this dessert and total happiness!
Summer Crostata {Peach, Cherry, & Blueberry}
1 1/4 c whole wheat pastry flour
4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
4 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese
1/8 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp ice cold water
filling (you can do this with any combination of fruit that you like:
1 large peach, thinly sliced
1/4 c blueberries, rised
1/4 c cherries, pitted and diced
1/4 tsp cornstarch
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
First you need to make your crust or pie dough. Either in a large bowl, or a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Then add your cold (important that it is cold) butter and cream cheese in small pieces. Pulse it into the flour (or use a pastry blender or fork to cut it in). Then add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time and pulse or mix until a dough ball starts to form (in my kitchen, I used 3, it depends on the humidity and temperature that day). Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap to form a ball and enclose the ball in the wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
While you are waiting, wash and cut up your fruit filling and combine it in a small bowl with the cornstarch.
Sprinkle a large cutting board or counter top with whole wheat flour and roll your dough out into a circle (you will also need to sprinkle the top with flour so it doesn't stick to the rolling pin). Then, gently roll the dough over the pin and lift it onto a cookie sheet.
Pour your fruit filling into the center of the dough then gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruit. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Enjoy!

Five-star Howell hurts Leicestershire
Watch free daily video highlights from every LV= County Championship match here on ecb.co.uk this summer
Benny Howell claimed career-best figures of 5-57 as Gloucestershire dismissed Leicestershire for 250 on the opening day of their LV= County Championship Division Two game at Grace Road.
At one stage, Leicestershire were 52 for five - only for a stand of 125 between Shiv Thakor and Matt Boyce to ensure a recovery of sorts; the former top-scored with 75 and the latter hit 55.
Claude Henderson smacked 33 off 30 balls to help earn two batting bonus points - and the hosts felt a little happier at the close after Gloucestershire stuttered to 31 for two.
But it was all-rounder Howell who made the biggest impact on the day. Before this match, the 24-year-old - in his second season with Gloucestershire - had taken only nine first-class wickets with a best return of 2-37 against Northants last season.
He had bettered that by lunch, picking up 3-17 in an eight-over spell.
The home side were already in difficulties when Howell came on as first change; Michael Thornely was bowled by Will Gidman with the second ball of the day and Niall O'Brien soon followed, edging behind off David Payne.
Howell, finding some away swing with his medium-pace, had Ramnaresh Sarwan caught at gully, trapped Ned Eckersley lbw offering no shot and bowled Josh Cobb off an inside edge.
With half the side out in the space of 22 overs, Leicestershire were staring down the barrel. However, for the second championship game in succession, Thakor and Boyce dug in to bring some respectability to the batting.
They stayed together for 44 overs, Thakor reaching his fifty off 110 balls with seven fours plus an all-run five and Boyce doing likewise from 120 balls with four boundaries.
Yet both fell quickly after tea; Howell had Boyce caught at slip and Thakor was taken low down by Hamish Marshall cutting off-spinner Jack Taylor.
Howell picked up his fifth wicket when Jigar Naik edged to slip but Henderson's quick 33 represented valuable late runs.
The day ended well for Leicestershire, with Robbie Williams trapping Chris Dent lbw and Ollie Freckingham finding the edge to dismiss Dan Housego, leaving Gloucestershire 219 behind at stumps.

HILLSIDE — The question of whether Mayor Joseph Menza can unilaterally layoff nearly 50 employees will be decided in court and not by the state's civil service commission, which had signed off on the plan, a Superior Court judge ruled today.
But while the workers whose jobs are threatened will stay employed for at least another month, township officials said Hillside may go broke by March if major spending cuts are not enacted.
Five police officers, 12 firefighters, 10 public works employees and the township's entire clerical staff of 22 workers were informed in October that their jobs were to be eliminated after negotiations failed to gain concessions from the seven public employee unions.
But Hillside's council sued the mayor and the state's civil service commission, claiming the layoffs were illegal without the council's consent.
Judge John F. Malone set a Jan. 7 date for the next hearing in the case..
"This is a question of law," the judge said. "Does the mayor have the authority to do what he did?"
Hillside loses roughly $193,000 every month that the layoffs are not enacted, said Menza's attorney, Christine Gillen. At this rate, she said, the township could be broke by March.
Council president Frank Deo agreed.
"I'm taking that as a real possibility," Deo said after the hearing. But first, he said, the question of who has the authority to issue layoffs must be decided.
"We have no choice but to pursue this," he said.

Proteomic research in plants faces several challenges including incomplete genomic and protein databases and the added complexity of unique cell components required for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Protein characterization in plants, as in other organisms, must overcome the challenges associated with proteome coverage and dynamic range. In a presentation entitled "Applications of MSE in Plant Proteomics and Protein Characterization," Kevin Blackburn, mass spec lab supervisor in molecular and structural biochemistry at North Carolina State University, emphasized the need for a "shotgun sequencing approach to the proteome" similar to genomic shotgun sequencing. This would yield more comprehensive proteome coverage than conventional MS/MS methods, which are serial, discontinuous, and biased, according to Blackburn.With MSE, peptides are fragmented and analyzed in parallel. Blackburn's group compared the performance of MS/MS-based data-dependent analysis (DDA) with data-independent MSE using a simple, four-protein mixture spanning a 16-fold concentration range. They found the following: 32 unique peptide matches to the four proteins using DDA, with 70% of the peptides identified in only one of three replicate analyses, and 74 unique peptide matches with MSE, with 80% of the peptides present in all three replicate analyses. The improvements with MSE were most pronounced for lower-abundance sample components, where the lowest level component of the four-protein mixture had a 3,000% sequence coverage increase with MSE compared to DDA.In another example, Blackburn reported that MSE was found to be superior to targeted DDA in identifying a protein of interest in a cell lysate, with an increase in sequence coverage of 200%. "With targeted DDA, you must make assumptions about charge states and peptide modifications, which may sometimes be incorrect," he adds, whereas "with MSE the data acquired is independent of a hypothesis."Blackburn presented real-world examples of plant proteomic efforts including his group's tomato nematode project aimed at identifying the host proteins that comprise signaling pathways involved in parasite destruction of the tomato-plant root. Blackburn's group conducted a qualitative survey of the protein composition in four tomato tissues and found that whereas DDA matched 52 peptides to 39 proteins in the plant flower and 128 peptides to 98 proteins in leaf tissue (1.3 peptides/protein), MSE was able to match 738 flower peptides to 195 proteins (3.8 peptides/protein) and 1,597 peptides to 380 leaf proteins (4.2 peptides/protein). These results led to the conclusion that LC-MSE is a viable alternative to LC-MS/MS for protein and proteome characterization, enabling identification as well as quantification and identification, improved sequence and proteome coverage, and lower false positive rates. "These advantages are most dramatic for the lowest abundance components," noted Blackburn. Furthermore, enhanced sequence coverage afforded by LC-MSE could lead to more thorough characterization of post-translational modifications. Taking a systems biology approach to proteome analysis, Brian Mickus, an MIT graduate student, analyzed engineered E. coli K12 cells to make lycopene, a potent antioxidant and valuable nutraceutical present in some fruits, particularly tomatoes. High lycopene content is a value-added trait. Using genomic-expression microarrays, Mickus demonstrated differential expression of some genes potentially correlated with lycopene overproduction in some mutant E. coli strains. Proteomic-expression analysis to reveal why certain strains can overproduce lycopene could lead to the development of metabolic-engineering strategies to manipulate E. coli's phenotype and enhance lycopene production.Mickus' group first employed genomic differential-expression analysis between the mutant and engineered strains to determine whether one or more genes contribute to the phenotype. He discovered a potential link to the adenosine diphosphate synthetic pathway and then used in silico tools to map the observed gene expression onto the metabolic pathways of E. coli."Gene-expression analysis gives you a roster of players (genes) but does not tell you what's going on in the game," said Mickus. To gain a global perspective of the proteins differentially expressed in the mutant versus engineered strains, Mickus and Jeff Silva, senior R&D scientist at Waters, used LC-MSE to obtain proteomic-expression data and identified more than 500 unique proteins from all strains. By focusing on proteins that show the greatest degree of differential expression, Mickus hopes to identify metabolic engineering targets that might be associated with lycopene overproduction.
Switching the focus to human disease, Richard Sprenger, Ph.D., from the clinical proteomics group at the University of Amsterdam, spoke on the "Analysis and Quantification of Diagnostic Plasma Markers and Protein Signatures for Gaucher's Disease." Characterized by a spleen and liver that are enlarged and inflamed, Gaucher's is a lipid storage disorder in which glucosyl ceramide accumulates in macrophages due to a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. In addition to hepatosplenomegaly, clinical symptoms include bone deformities, pancytopenia (decreased platelets), and neurologic abnormalities. Treatment is based on enzyme-replacement therapy in which patients receive infusions of recombinant glucocerebrosidase 1–2 times per week for life.Chitotriosidase, an enzyme that breaks down chitin and is produced by macrophages in the spleen, is a marker for Gaucher's disease. Measuring chitotriosidase levels is a good way to monitor the disease and response to treatment. One in 20 patients, however, will be chitotriosidase deficient. Enzyme-replacement therapy is expensive, and patient response is variable and, at present, difficult to monitor. Targeted biomarkers could help predict which patients are not likely to respond to treatment. Dr. Sprenger devised experiments to search for disease markers in plasma, comparing samples before and after treatment and looking at depleted versus undepleted plasma. Compared to DDA protein identification techniques, LC-MSE offers an unbiased approach that can give greater coverage of the proteome and is better able to reveal lower-abundance proteins, according to Dr. Sprenger. LC-MSE correctly detected the known biomarker chitotriosidase only in the before-treatment samples. The identification of chitotriosidases with different specific activities in various individuals showed that the enzyme can be polymorphic. Dr. Sprenger's group is now validating its findings in larger numbers of patients with Gaucher's.
To date, strategies for determining differential protein expression in healthy and disease human cell lines have relied on relative quantification. Label-free detection analyses using MSE make possible absolute quantification, enhancing the ability to compare individual study results. Arthur Moseley, Ph.D., director of proteomics for the proteomics core facility at the school of medicine at Duke University, described a study of breast cancer cell lines exposed to four different treatment conditions: no treatment, cells grown in the presence of a chemotherapeutic drug, a drug-resistant strain grown in the presence of drug, and a drug-resistant strain grown in the presence of drug that is then removed. After chemotherapy, some breast cancer patients will suffer a relapse with a more aggressive, drug-resistant tumor, which suggests changes in the residual cancer cells after exposure to chemotherapy, explained Dr. Moseley.Qualitatively, in triplicate analyses by both DDA and MSE of the native cell phenotype, a total of 474 proteins were identified in at least one of the analyses. Of these, 276 were identified by both DDA and MSE, five were uniquely identified by DDA, and 196 were uniquely identified by MSE. For the neuroblast differentiation-associated protein, both DDA and MSE identified seven peptides, and while there were no peptides uniquely identified by DDA, 86 peptides were uniquely identified by MSE.For quantitative analysis by MSE, the proteins were required to be present in at least two of three analyses. Dr. Moseley found that 209 proteins were replicated in three of three analyses, with a quantitative coefficient of variation of 13%. Using the absolute quantitation methods of the IdentityE software, these 209 proteins comprised 87% of the total protein loaded onto the LC column. An additional 68 proteins that replicated in two of three analyses, with a 21.6% variation, accounted for only 4% of the total protein load. Dr. Moseley concluded that, "MSE provides significantly increased proteome and peptide coverage" and enables relative and absolute quantification in the same experiment. The results were encouraging regarding the potential "to create databases based on absolute quantification," making it possible "to mine the data across experiments," said Dr. Moseley. For polygenic diseases such as cancer, a single biomarker will likely not be sufficient to function as a reliable indicator. At the Proteome Centre of the University of Rostok in Germany, Michael Glocker, Ph.D., head of the Proteome Center, and colleagues are performing tissue profiling of clinical samples and animal models to identify diagnostic and therapeutic target signatures. In his presentation entitled "Breast Cancer Tissue Profiling," Dr. Glocker spoke of ongoing biomarker profiling studies in invasive ductal carcinoma in which he is using LC-MSE to develop protein signatures capable of differentiating between control and tumor tissue and defining invasive ductal carcinoma tissue profiles that might help to tailor treatment regimens and guide disease-management decisions.The results are validated using a gel-based strategy for differential proteome analysis. So far 1,203 protein spots have been analyzed in a differential manner. The group is now correlating the findings with histological results and is investigating various post-translational modifications, mostly phosphorylation-dependent pathways, that could explain the differential protein expression. The ultimate goal is to find protein signatures that might be of prognostic value.

Gleason's latest generation profile grinding machines can be equipped to perform the Opti-Grind process, which is said to improve productivity and quality levels for fine-finishing cylindrical gears with diameters as large as 6 m and ranging to module 16.
Three grinding wheels rough and grind four tooth flanks simultaneously for maximum productivity. Finish grinding is performed conventionally with a single dressed wheel to produce the desired surface finish and flank modifications, the company says. According to the company, the process can maximize roughing productivity compared to a single wheel that is designed to perform both roughing and finishing operations.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – If you voted this month at Clark Retirement Community, there's a really good chance you voted yes on a city streets tax.
In fact, only 18 people cast no votes at Precinct No. 61 in the city's Eastown neighborhood. With 91.3 percent of voters casting yes ballots on Tuesday, May 6, Precinct No. 61 in the city's Third Ward was the most supportive polling place in Grand Rapids.
Voters in other precincts along Wealthy Street SE also favored the tax by huge margins: 85 percent as a group.
RELATED: What voters said about Grand Rapids streets tax
Citywide, 66.3 percent of voters supported the proposal to levy an income tax for streets for 15 years. The Grand Rapids City Commission on Tuesday, May 20, will accept the official Kent County Board of Canvassers report from the election.
Here are 6 numbers derived from that report:
• 15.6 percent – voter turnout in the city's Second Ward
Across Grand Rapids, 13.7 percent of the city's 133,377 registered voters showed up to the polls. Turnout was relatively high in the Second Ward, which is most everything north of Wealthy Street on the east side of the Grand River. In the First Ward, which is mostly west of the river and along U.S. 131, turnout was 12.9 percent. Turnout in the 3rd Ward, which encompasses most of the southeast quadrant of the city, was 12.5 percent.

• 32.5 percent – voter turnout in the city's busiest precinct
Nearly one-third of registered voters cast ballots in the Second Ward's No. 47 precinct, which covers most of the city that's east of Ball Avenue between I-196 and East Grand Rapids. The biggest turnout in the Third Ward was 25.7 percent in Precinct No. 53, by Burton and East Beltline Avenue near Calvin College. The biggest First Ward turnout was 31.3 percent in Precinct No. 11, from Leonard to Seventh streets between Carpenter and Covell avenues on the West Side.
• 1.9 percent – voter turnout in the city's slowest precinct
Less than one of every 50 registered voters cast ballots in the First Ward's Precinct No. 24, which is west of Jefferson Avenue between Hall and Burton streets. The final tally there: 26 yes, 9 no. Worst turnout in the Second Ward was 5.7 percent at Precinct No. 29, east of Plainfield Avenue on either side of Leonard. Worst turnout in the Third Ward was 3.7 percent in Precinct No. 66, which is between Jefferson and Eastern Avenue from Franklin to Hall streets.
• 2 – number of precincts where voters opposed the streets tax
Only in the First Ward's No. 11 and No. 21 precincts did voters oppose the tax. Voter turnout at No. 11 was second-highest in the city, while 24.3 percent of voters showed up at No. 21.
• 8 – precincts where more than 80 percent of voters favored the tax
Voters who live near Wealthy Street SE went big in support of the streets tax. Between Wealthy and Fulton on the east side of the river, voters at LaGrave Christian Reformed Church, St. Thomas School gym, Trinity Methodist Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church all gave 80-percent support or higher.
On the south side of Wealthy, east of U.S. 131, voters at Clark Retirement Community gave more than 90-percent support while voters at New Hope Baptist Church and Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church gave more than 80-percent support. Voters at Southeast Academic Center, Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Academy and East Congregational United Church of Christ were all near 80 percent in favor.
• 72.2 percent – streets tax support in the city's Third Ward
Buoyed by Precinct No. 61 and others north of Burton Street, more than seven in 10 Third Ward voters favored the income tax proposal. Voters in the Second Ward gave 66.5-percent support, on par with the citywide result. First Ward voters gave the proposal 59.9-percent support.

Report from the Volendam - Jan 6th. 2014 - Singapore to Singapore, Indonesian Islands.
As seasoned cruise travellers including previous excellent cruises on Holland American, I have to report that this was like a shake down cruise which was surprising as the ship was 15 years old & Holland America has been going for ever, yet so many things were disorganised.
The good points: We were pleased with our cabin, a window cabin on deck 1 which was a good size with a bath & very well planned; the food in the dining room which was very good & the entertainment was also very good.
The bad points: Embarcation in Singapore was chaotic & took 2 hours.
The service was poor particularly in the Lido restaurant which we tended to use most days for breakfast & lunch rather than waste up to 2 hours in the main restaurant; The Lido was more like a mediocre cafeteria with the tables being dirty & having to wait for them to be wiped down. There were rarely any officers around & when there were, they were always busy staring at the computer screen & if you could attract their attention, they did not smile & were not friendly. The Lido closed at 2P.M. prompt & from then, there were only sandwiches available which were made to order by just one member of staff so that when 500 people returned from a ships tour (which were quite often an hour late) at 2.30P.M., there could be 25 people waiting in line for up to an hour. This was pointed out to the officer in charge who said that they were looking at this, as though it was a new occurrence on a 15 year old ship!
The deck chairs are very uncomfortable, dirty, & of the few chairs which had cushions, some were ripped & torn & well past their sell by date which goes for the whole ship which is long overdue for a complete re-fit.
We did not disembark at one port of call as we were informed by the Captain, after waiting an hour for the tender, that this was a new port of call & they had not been informed by the port agent that they could only get one tender through the channel at a time causing considerable delay.
I have to say that in spite of the above problems showing complete disorganisation, we still enjoyed the cruise although Holland America will be at the bottom of the list for a future cruise.

Hi! New here, I purchased 3 Nook HD+apps for my kids for Christmas. I wanted them mainly for the books many of which I have sideloaded since I needed 3. I am the main profile on all 3 nooks. If I purchase an app from the Nook App store under my profile am I able to load onto all 3 or no would I have to purchase the same app 3 times?
Tried to find the answer but haven't had any luck....not very tech savvy here!LOL
If you have registered all 3 Nooks to the same account (email address login) then any items purchased will show up on all 3 devices.
If you registered all 3 devices to 3 different accounts (email logins) then you will have to purchase each item 3 times.
If you already did example 2 but want example 1, then you can unregister 2 of them and reregister them to one email login.
Hope this helps.

Investigators say they have identified a man who used an American flag to commit a crime in Tulsa.
An employee of a car dealership said he made a sale and the customer paid in cash. The employee then slid the envelope containing $4,000 under a locked door.
Police said Charlie Carter then attempted to break the door's lock. When he was unsuccessful, he used a small American flag to sweep under the door and pull the envelope out.
Officers said Carter is not is custody and police are still searching for him.

Without Russell Westbrook, it's painfully obvious — so painfully obvious — that the Thunder aren't anywhere near as good as their normal selves. They struggle in the most frustrating ways, they lack any kind of cutting edge and sometimes, they simply look like a lottery team.
But there's still a reason to watch, a reason to care, a reason to believe that they can beat any team any given night.
Number. Thirty. Five.
Kevin Durant went from Lambeau-Field-cold in the first half to surface-of-the-sun-hot in the second. He was 5-16 for 16 points after two quarters. He had 32 on 11-16 in the last two, including 23 on 7-11 in the fourth, which included a vicious step-back jumper with 4.0 seconds left to win it for the Thunder.
KD got started with a little 20-footer on a pin-down, then he made a driving layup. If I've learned anything from watching KD play basically every game the last five years, it's that it typically takes him two consecutive baskets to start feeling it. Then if he sees a 3 drop through, it's on. The pull-ups are coming, and there's no telling what he might hit next. KD hit a 3. Then he hit a transition pull-up 3. Then he hit another one curling off a screen. Then he answered a Kevin Love deep ball with his own 15 seconds later.
When Durant decided it was a good idea to launch — contested — from something like 32 feet (it rattled in and out), I not only loved the shot, but I wanted him to start chucking them from halfcourt.
But here's the thing about this game: Durant got them back in the race and eventually pushed them over the finish line, but it was a fewer key plays from other guys that gave KD that chance. The biggest that comes to mind are the consecutive rebounds Jeremy Lamb made, one defensive and the other a putback with 1:19 left to put OKC up two. He skied for another with 30 seconds left and had his legs cut out by Corey Brewer, drawing two free throws after a face plant. He knocked both down, giving the Thunder a 2-for-1 and up two with 30 seconds left.
What's amazing about this game is that as hot as Durant got, he hit a 3 with 7:01 left in the fourth, then didn't have another basket until the winner with four seconds remaining. KD had three free throws in there, but Nick Collison finished inside off a Reggie Jackson assist, Ibaka banged in a little six-footer from Jackson, Jackson made a layup set up by KD, Jackson hit two free throws, Lamb had the putback and made the two big freebies after his spill.
Here's how crazy this game was: I'm now nine grafs in and I haven't even mentioned how it actually finished. After Durant's go-ahead jumper, Scott Brooks decided to sub on his "stoppers" bringing in Thabo and Perk for the Wolves' final possession. It was pretty clear Minnesota was trying to get Kevin Love for a game-winning 3, so Perk switched out on him and contested the shot. A foul was called, giving Love three free throws and a chance to put the Wolves up at the line with 2.1 seconds left. He missed the first. He missed the second. And then he intentionally missed the third, throwing it off the backboard without it hitting the rim. OKC's ball, and KD iced it at the line to give him a line of 48 points (an NBA season-high) on 16-32 shooting with seven rebounds and seven assists.
With the way the last two games went for OKC, blowing big fourth quarter leads at home, it's fitting they'd come back from 10 down on the road to prevent their first three-game losing streak of the season. Durant just wasn't having it. And it's weird because with the way the Thunder played in the third, it looked like they were totally willing to accept this loss. Specifically Durant who was a bit loose with the ball and hanging his head after a couple bad turnovers from his teammates.
He just needed to see a couple shots drop. And then he started feeling it. He started believing it. And so did everyone else.
- Let's talk about Perk's foul. I never got a definitive replay so I don't know if he got ball or he actually fouled him. I don't really care. What I'm agitated about is Scott Brooks' decision. It was textbook Brooks overthinking. He does this consistently in close games. He's not a situational subber, except for on isolated one stop situations. The lineup of Jackson, Lamb, Durant, Ibaka and Collison had played essentially the entire fourth quarter, but in that spot he brings in Thabo, Perk and leaves Fisher on (who had just subbed in on the offensive end). Why? WHYWHYWHYWHY? Brooks might've feared Pekovic inside or on a putback, which is understandable, but bringing on two guys for one four-second play after they've been on the bench for about 30 minutes of real-time is just silly. Hated that move.
- All in all though, good foul Perk! Smart play!
- Hard not to think back on how the Thunder played the last time they were in Minnesota sans Westbrook. Little bit different performance tonight.
- Let's be clear about what happened tonight, though: It was just Kevin Durant because effing spectacular. The Wolves were far and away the better team. The Thunder have problems without Westbrook and they should've been headed to their third straight loss. KD is just that stinking good.
- The Thunder's crunctime offense was really interesting. It was essentially a high screen-and-roll with Durant as the handler and Lamb as the screener. A clear adjustment from their struggles against the Nets on Thursday. First off, having Lamb on the floor was wise. Second, using Lamb with KD there put the Wolves in a compromising spot. They were either going to switch the screen and get a mismatch, risk having Durant beat them to the paint and cause a bunch of collapsing and rotating. In the future, I'd like to see it more, and even flipped with Lamb handling and KD screening.
- Via Zach Harper, after the third straight 3, KD turned to the Wolves bench and said everything that needed to be said. "I'm a bad motherf***er." I bet he even has a wallet that proves it.
- I've got no problem saying this: Lamb > Martin. Those two rebounds Lamb pulled in, Martin would've been standing firmly on the 3-point line during both.
- For example to further that point: Lamb went 2-9 and scored nine points. But he had eight big rebounds, three assists and two steals. If Martin went 2-9 last season, would he have impacted the game much anywhere else?
- It needs to be said: Brewer's foul that sent Lamb to the line for two free throws with 30 seconds left was a horrific call. Brewer was essentially standing still as Lamb jumped over him and tumbled to the ground. From this angle, it even looks like Durant pushed Brewer into Lamb.
- Durant was spectacular, but a game after Perry Jones was OKC's second leading scorer, Derek Fisher held those honors tonight with 13. Uh.
- Ibaka took a terrible shot with 50 seconds left. He found himself wide open in the corner for a 3 off an offensive rebound, but the shot clock had just reset and the score was 109-109. He makes it, great shot. But he didn't, so it gave the Wolves a chance at a 2-for-1.
- Turnovers are a current problem. They've been one at times in the past, but 22 tonight is nearly what cost the Thunder.
- Steven Adams tweaked his ankle a bit, but before that was well on his way to a second career double-double. In 16 minutes he had 10 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. I wouldn't say he did a great job on Pekovic, because the Minny big man owned whoever guarded him tonight, but he was better than most.
- Durant's 32 shot attempts are the second most he's taken in his career and get this: This is only the FIFTH time in his career he's taken 30 or more shots in a game. Amazing.
- After Jackson failed to get KD the ball in transition in the fourth quarter, Durant stomped his feet and clapped his hands, clearly mad about it. Jackson reset the offense and OKC ended up with a good possession and two points. Still.
- Perk, five rebounds in the first five minutes. He was on pace for like, 48 rebounds there for a second!
- Brian Davis after a Perk turnover: "Sometimes you're going to get that. And you can live with it because of all the other good things he does for this ballclub." I feel like I just read an Onion headline.
- Gotta be hard for doctors to check Jeremy Lamb for a concussion. Because his face just kind of always looks like he has recently been concussed.
- Twice ref Eric Lewis waited to see if a shot went in to blow his whistle for a foul. It's either a foul or it isn't. I hate it when refs do this.
- Don't you feel kind of dirty knowing that you cheered for Kevin Martin and his foul-drawing/flopping shenanigans last season?
- Brian Davis Line of the Night: "It's like trying to watch an elephant dance ballet."
Next up: Home against the Celtics on Sunday

The Big Ten has been the best conference in college basketball this season. There are six teams that could potentially make the NCAA Tournament and five teams are currently ranked in the AP Top 25.
The teams in the Big Ten are physical and consist of many talented players that will be in the NBA at some point.
There have been so many memorable games this season from the Big Ten Conference and we should expect more as the season winds down and teams like Indiana and Michigan State are fighting for the Big Ten regular-season title.
Don't be surprised if there are two Big Ten teams that make it to the Final Four. These teams can flat out play ball and can contend with any team from the Big East or Big 12 Conference.
With the parity that we have in this conference, it can be difficult to figure out who is better than who. Who is the best team in the conference right now? Indiana, Michigan State or Michigan?
Check out who the best team is in the Big Ten right now with the latest conference power rankings:

Pettibone makes rehab start, B-Mets drop Fightins
Published: 11:08 PM EDT Aug 15, 2013
The Binghamton Mets defeated the Reading Fightin Phils, 9-3, on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Stadium. Jonathan Pettibone allowed 3 earned runs over 5 innings in his rehab start for Reading.
The Phillies starter was placed on the disabled list on August 2nd with a right shoulder strain. Pettibone said his pitch count had been set at 70, and that his main goal was to get on the mound and pitch competitively for the first time in weeks.
Zach Collier hit a solo home run in the first inning to highlight Reading's offense.
The Fightin Phils begin a 6-game road trip in Akron Friday night.

Penelope Cruz is Pregnant!
Penelope Cruz Is Pregnant & That's Not All
Beautiful baby-on-the-way alert: Penelope Cruz is pregnant! The beautiful 38-year-old actress and her beautiful husband, actor Javier Bardem, are expecting their second child (beautiful son Leo was born in 2011). That's gonna be one heck of a beautiful family!
A beautiful extended family, actually. Because Penelope isn't the only pregnant Cruz at the moment ...
The star's 35-year-old sister Monica will welcome her first baby later this year (she announced her pregnancy via an anonymous sperm donor in January). Oh my god. Can you imagine? Those are gonna be the prettiest playdates ever!
Seriously, though, I think it's awesome that Penelope and her sister will be preggers together. I don't have a sister, but I did have a couple of friends who were pregnant at the same time as me -- one of them even had her baby the same day I had my son, in the same hospital! And let me tell you, having someone to share the ups and downs and in-betweens of pregnancy with is as good as it gets, gestationally-speaking. Sure, non-pregnant friends and family can be supportive, but it's just not the same.
Anyway, best of luck to this pregnant pair! Congratulations Penelope and Monica (and Javier and Leo)!
Have you ever been pregnant at the same time as a sister or friend?
I really think there was something in the water at my job because three co-workers and myself were all pregnant at the same time - two got pregnant about 6 months prior to me and one other co-worker. My daughter and one co-worker's daughter were born a day apart even.
My sister and I were pregnant together and we had our babies 1 weeks apart. We are both currently pregnant again together but she is a few months behind me. Too bad she lives far away.
In my family, it seems like my cousins and I always get pregnant at the same time! Right now 2 of them are preggers. It's so funny. Not to mention my Mom and her sisters all had babies in 1985, the yr I was born. There are 5 of us who are currently 27 :)
That's great news! I was pregnant at the same time as my sister when I had ODS.
Those kids are gonna be fabulous looking when they grow up. Been preg at the same time as my best. don't have a sister.

I've been a happy user of Kaspersky security software for a long time. Besides, I am very concerned about internet scams, identity theft, malware, phishing and spyware. I constantly write about it on my blog Computer Secrets Busted. This is the latest news from Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announced that it has cooperated with Microsoft in successfully closing a serious vulnerability in Microsoft Windows.
The vulnerability has been used by the notorious Stuxnet Worm. It's a remarkable worm because it is an industrial espionage tool: it is designed to gain access to the Siemens WinCC operating system which is responsible for data collection and monitoring production. At the time when the Stuxnet Worm was discovered it was zero-day old. Am I surprised? Not at all. I know how Kaspersky software guards my computers and I trust Kaspersky software.
After extensive research Kaspersky specialists discovered that Stuxnet used 4 other Windows vulnerabilities. Microsoft analyzed the vulnerabilities and agreed with Kaspersky specialists. Am I glad Kaspesky got on the case? Yes!
All Kaspersky Labs products are capable of successfully detecting and neutralizing Worm.Win32.Stuxnet, which is a very sophisticated worm.

WASHINGTON — President Obama said Tuesday he remains confident the U.S. will meet his goal of doubling exports over five years by the end of 2014, despite a significant slowdown in growth last year.
To meet that goal, Obama has laid out a more aggressive trade agenda, including a commitment to launching trade negotiations with the European Union this year. Addressing a meeting of his Export Council, Obama said he is "modestly optimistic" about concluding a trade deal with the EU and is aggressively pursuing a separate Asia-Pacific trade deal the administration hopes to conclude this year. Obama sought to strike a positive tone on exports. At the same time, another key White House official expressed disappointment about last year's pace of growth.
"We have made an enormous amount of progress over the last year," said Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to the President, at the council meeting. "What was a little disappointing was that exports lagged last year, probably due to what is going on…in both Asia and in Europe, but it just means we've got to keep our pedal to the metal even more so."
U.S. exports hit $2.2 trillion in 2012, compared with $2.1 trillion in 2011, according to the Commerce Department. The pace of export growth has slowed considerably since 2010, when total U.S. exports were $1.83 trillion. Obama launched the National Export Initiative in 2009 to double exports in five years, which would mean total U.S. exports would need to grow to $3.14 trillion by 2015 from $1.57 trillion in 2009.
Textile and apparel export growth also slowed dramatically in 2012. Combined apparel and textile exports grew 1 percent in 2012 to $22.6 billion compared with 2011, according to data from the Commerce Department's Office of Textiles and Apparel. In 2011 the combined exports grew 14 percent to $22.4 billion versus 2010. And in 2010 apparel and textile exports increased 19 percent to $19.7 billion from 2009.
Despite the slowing pace of export growth, Obama said the U.S. will meet his goal by the end of 2014.
"The good news is we are well on our way to meeting a very ambitious goal that we set several years ago to double U.S. exports," Obama said. "And what we know is that a lot of the growth, a lot of the new jobs that we've seen during the course of this recovery, have been export-driven."
Obama said the Export Council and his team need to find ways to sustain the momentum, adding that one significant area is pursuing new trade deals. He pointed to the launch of talks with the EU and the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations between the U.S. and 10 other countries.
The trade relationship between the U.S. and EU is already significant. The U.S. exported $329 billion worth of goods to Europe in 2012 and imported $454 billion, according to the Commerce Department.
Obama said the timing is right for a U.S.-EU trade pact.
"What I think has changed is the recognition throughout Europe that it is hard for them to figure out a recipe for growth at this point, in part because of the austerity measures that have been put in place throughout the euro zone, in the absence of a more aggressive trade component," he said. "So I think they are hungrier for a deal than they have been in the past."
He also noted that the two sides have already narrowed some of their differences, particularly on Customs and regulatory issues.
"I think it will still be a heavy slog," Obama added. "There's no guarantee that in the end some of the countries that have been hard cases in the past won't block it again, but I think that you're going to see more pressure from more countries on the other side of the Atlantic to get this done than we've seen in the past."

If you are looking to buy or adopt a Balinese, you can view our :
Balinese for sale section
Balinese for adoption section
Balinese for stud section.
Balinese are the semi-longhaired version of the Siamese, with a flowing silky coat and plumed tail. It is thought that they originally derived from Siamese cats in the USA that were carrying a mutant longhaired gene as long ago as the 1920s, and who occasionally produced longhaired kittens of Siamese type. These days, Balinese are a very popular breed in their own right, often winning top awards at cat shows. Shorthaired Balinese with short, plush coats (known as Balinese Variants) often occur when Balinese are mated back to Siamese to improve their type and colour, but they may not currently be shown although they make excellent pets and are also useful for Balinese breeding as they carry the longhaired gene.
At first, the longhaired Siamese kittens appearing in the USA had been regarded as mutants, and simply sold as neutered pets. But then, just after the Second World War, a small group of American breeders got together and decided to try breeding with them and discovered that they consistently produced whole litters of longhaired Siamese. These were shown in the States as Longhaired Siamese until the Siamese purists objected after when they were renamed Balinese, as they were thought to resemble Bali temple dancers with their long, flowing hair! The first Balinese arrived in the UK in 1973, and were fully recognised here as a breed in their own right by the 1980s.
Like their shorthaired Siamese cousins, pure Balinese cats have vivid blue, almond-shaped oriental eyes. They have medium length, fine silky coats in varying shades of off-white depending on the colour of their 'points', although the coat doesn't tend to shade as much as it does in Siamese as the cat gets older. 'Points' refer to the darker facial masks, ears, tails, legs and paws, and, like the Siamese, a wide range of points colours have developed in the UK, with seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, caramel, tabby (known in the USA as lynx points), red, tortie, cream, apricot, cinnamon and fawn points available. Coat length on the Balinese can vary with up to two inches in length on the body, and as much as five inches on the tail. They are definitely not to be confused with Colourpoint Longhairs, a variety of Persian cat with a much longer coat and a ruff, and with a woolly undercoat. Balinese currently compete against Siamese in the same section at cat shows, as, apart from coat length, they are very similar in type, although Balinese tend to have slightly smaller ears than the Siamese. They are a similar build to Siamese, although can give the appearance of being larger, due to the longer coat hair.
Like the Siamese, Balinese are true extroverts with a loving and affectionate nature. They are very sociable cats that thrive on the company of their human families as well as of other pets, and should not be left on their own for long periods. They show exactly the same temperament and intelligence as the Siamese and can be equally as demanding, mischievous and inquisitive as their shorthaired cousins, often to be found interfering in matters around the house that do not really concern them! Some Balinese owners believe that their pets are not as vocal as the Siamese, which they attribute to the quieter, longhaired gene. However, others claim they are equally vociferous, and 'talk' in exactly the same way to say they would like some extra supper, please, or want to join their humans in whatever activity they are engaged in. They need mental and physical stimulation, and are very playful characters who enjoy retrieving balls of paper and rolling round with a catnip mouse.
Balinese do not have known breed-related health problems, and pets from reputable breeders should be strong and healthy. In common with all breeds of cat, they nevertheless need annual vaccination boosters against the common feline ailments of flu and enteritis, as well as against Feline Leukaemia if they go outdoors. Older Balinese are sometimes prone to kidney problems, detectable by loss of weight and increased thirst, but a Vet can prescribe medication to help combat this, and many live to the age of 14-16. It is wise to have Balinese kittens neutered by the time they are 6 months old, as they tend to mature sexually at a very young age, and do not need to have a litter of kittens first. Un-neutered male cats will spray in the house and tend to wander, whilst un-neutered females will be very noisy.
Like Siamese, Balinese are not fussy eaters (unless they're allowed to be) and will eat most good quality proprietary brands of cat food, but will also enjoy treats of cooked chicken, ham and grated cheese. However, cows' milk will probably give them a stomach upset, and a bowl of water should always be available. It's often wise to shut cupboard doors and put things out of sight in the same way that you would for a toddler, as they are so inquisitive. Balinese can live very happily indoors without going outside. Those Balinese with longer coats need regular light grooming with a brush and comb to keep the longer coats in good condition, though this is less of a task than with a Persian, thanks to the finer coat of the Balinese. It's best to get them used to this as a young kitten before the full coat is established so that they become used to being groomed. Eyes and ears should also be checked and kept clean if necessary. The paler pointed Balinese, such as red, cream and apricot points, often collect dark debris in the corners of their eyes, but this is perfectly normal and can easily be wiped away with a piece of damp cotton wool.

Red Mountain Theatre Company presents Broadway's song and dance extravaganza with 42nd Street (July 11- August 4, 2013)
Where are you from originally? If not Birmingham, what brought you here?
I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I just graduated in May with a degree in Musical Theatre from the University of Alabama, and am lucky enough to get to spend my last Alabama summer with the Red Mountain cast of 42nd Street before I move to New York in August!
How has this experience compared with previous experiences you've had on stage?
The experience has presented a lot of unique challenges and opportunities. I was a gymnast who only began dancing in college, so performing in a full scale dance show has been an adventure in itself. I have loved the challenge of having to pick up choreography quickly, and fitting together long sequences of steps throughout the show. It has been difficult at times, but I have loved noticing my tap skills improving as we go along.
Do you have any special hidden talents? If so, what are they?
This is not the most interesting talent, but I'm a good runner! I started running in college, and have run several half marathons in the last few years. I also love scrapbooking, and have gotten pretty good...not that it takes a lot of special talent...but it's a fun!
After rehearsal is over what do you do with your aching feet?
I have taken many an ice bath during this rehearsal process. I also sleep with my feet elevated on occasion to help with the swelling. Basically you just get used to the pain.
What is your favorite musical number in 42nd Street? Why?
My favorite number in the show is "Lullaby of Broadway." It's one that brings the whole cast together in a high stakes situation where we all have to work together to save the show. The choreography is mostly in unison, and you can feel the energy coming off the dancers around you. It's a standard of the show, and is full of Broadway flare.
What are you most looking forward to sharing with audiences? Why should they come to see this show?
I am most excited to share the amazing characters with the audience. Everyone knows that 42nd Street is a classic and there will be incredible tapping, but no one realizes how funny it is! There are some crazy characters who will have the audience rolling.
42nd Street
July 11-August 4, 2013
Thursday- Saturday, 7:30pm
Saturday-Sunday, 2:00pm

95 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2008
($70) Bright yellow. Lemon drop, orange, pineapple, ginger, smoke and minerals on the slightly exotic nose. Tactile and dry, with a chewy phenolic element and a note of butterscotch; today I find this a bit less fruity than the 2005 version. There's still a slight edge of acidity here that calls for 6 to 12 months of patience. Winemaker Erin Green routinely stirs the lees through May.

Newspaper files action against alderwoman
July 01, 2010
The Lake Geneva Regional News filed a complaint Monday afternoon in Walworth County Circuit Court alleging that City Council Alderwoman Mary Jo Fesenmaier has violated Wisconsin's open records law. The seven-page complaint focuses on e-mails requested of city officials, including Fesenmaier, in February and March by the Regional News and its editor, Lisa Seiser. The public requests revolved around e-mails sent and received concerning the Mirbeau and Hummel development proposals, which now are part of two separate lawsuits against the city totaling about $150 million.

Braun would love to live in Lake Geneva
July 01, 2010
Last Thursday night, people of all ages patiently gathered on the sidewalk at 430 Broad St. Some had been waiting there for hours. Others had donned baseball jerseys or held bats, pennants and baseballs in their hands. Every single person was gazing down Broad Street anticipating the arrival of Milwaukee Brewers all-star left fielder Ryan Braun, who was expected to appear at his newly-renovated restaurant located in the former Cactus Club. At about 7:40 p.m., the baseball star and restaurateur appeared and he didn't let anyone down. Braun, who played in a Brewers victory earlier in the afternoon, signed autographs and posed for pictures in the parking lot behind the facility before making his way to the front entrance of his Tavern and Grill. Once inside, the crowd mobbed Braun, who was all smiles as he chatted, signed autographs and posed for more pictures.

text: I am covering production for a couple of nights just so you all can see what is going on. It is 8 PM here in Batavia, and last night's run just completed. I have the threshold for detection set at 3 sigma above the noise. This gets lots of noise hits, but our requirement that there be a hit in the V and the I camera will get rid of most of them. Here is the result from last night: Camera .ast total .cal total TOM1 832931 141923 TOM2 691788 122394 TOM3 491874 84032 So we got 348349 V,I measurement pairs. The three sigma threshold seems go dig more real faint mag pairs out of the noise. TOM3 is low because we lose some frames from noise pick up on the unshielded cable. I will eventually try another shielded cable. TOM2 is a little low because it was showing ice crystals on the early frames so I heated it up and discarded the early frames. I think this is about par for a summer night's run. Tom Droege
