Before I moved to Los Angeles, before I got involved with
I could have showed the various meat located at the meat bar (instead of having the meat brought to you like most of the LA restaurants, you actually get the meat yourself at the meat buffet bar), but the best meat there is the kalbi. Not the usual "LA kalbi" found in most restaurants, but this is the bone-in kalbi. Sadly, it's only offered during dinner, as being the good Asians we were, we only ate the kalbi. Multiple plates later, we finished off the night with some octopus and marinated squid. The kalbi was delicious. One of the better meat found at any AYCE KBBQ around.
All in all, Palace BBQ is a truly solid Korean BBQ experience. Besides the meat bar, there is also a panchan, hot cooked Chinese/Korean bar, and a salad/dessert station as well. Sadly, I was too hungry to bring my dSLR over to those stations as I was concentrating with the food. While Palace probably won't stand out compared to the Yi Ssi Hwa Ro or the Road To Seoul of the world here in LA, for a fun experience on the streets of El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, you could do a lot worse than Palace BBQ.
A shoutout to all of my buddies in Nor Cal, the better part of California. Go Kings!

Catholicose presents a picture of humbleness; lauds missionary work of MGOC Muscat
Dr Mar Yulios: Presence of His Holiness means presence of Jesus Christ
MUSCAT: Moran Mar Baselious Marthoma Paulose II, Catholicose and Malankara Metropolitan has praised the missionary zeal of the Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church (MGOC) Muscat which formerly under the Calcutta Diocese had done yeoman service for the upliftment of the downtrodden.
The Catholicose was replying to felicitations (Anugraha Prabhashnam) at his reception held at Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church Muscat on March 19.
The Supreme Head was humble personified in his speech saying that he was wary of too many praises going over his head since he was attending a number of episcopal visits and receptions after his enthronement. His Holiness was nostalgic about the words of wisdom from his late guru and visionary Dr Paulos Mar Gregorios.
The Catholicos also praised the hard working expats in the Arabian Gulf who toil hard and to pray that better times were ahead of them. "The large crowd who gathered to listen to me shows your love for Malankara Orthodox and not for me," he said.
Pulikkottil Dr Geevarghese Mar Yulios, Metropolitan of Ahmedabad Diocese, in his presidential address, said the presence of His Holiness means the presence of Jesus Christ which also symbolises the love and sanctity of the church.
The Metropolitan reiterated that His Holiness for him is not just a supreme head but also a spiritual father and leader and urged all to extend all support on behalf of Ahmedabad Diocese.
Fr C S Mathew, Vicar, Sohar Church, began the reception with a prayer.
Fr James Geevarghese, Vicar, MGOC, delivered the welcome speech profiling the life history of the Catholicose.
P C Cherian, Trustee, MGOC, gave a briefing of Malankara Orthodox Church.
HE Anil Wadhwa, Indian Ambassador to the Sultanate, Fr Dr Johns Abraham Konattu (Priest-Trustee, MOSC), Shri M G George Muthoot (Lay Trustee, MOSC), also spoke.
Also present include Shaikh Ahmed al Bari, Director, Ministry of Awqaf & Religious Affairs, Pastor Jack Buteyn, Protestant Churches in Oman, Fr Mathew Erathel, Catholic Church,Rev. Mathew P Thomas, Marthoma Church in Oman, Rev Mathew P Oommen, CSI Church, Fr Baroosme, Coptic Church, Jacobs Kuriakose, Sabha Managing Committee Member, Cherian P Thomas, Diocesan Council Member, Dr C Thomas, Senior Member, MGOC, Geevarghese Yohannan, Senior Member, MGOC and Abraham Mathew, Forthcoming Trustee.
John Thomas, Secretary MGOC delivered the vote of thanks.
Earlier, the Catholicose and dignitaries were led to the Church from the parsonage by candle-lit members of the MGOC to the accompaniment of chenda melam. Cries of Jai, Jai Catholicose reached its crescendo when the Holy Shepherd entered the church.
A group song in English and Malayalam was sung by Sunday School students.
Earlier, MGOC Choir sang the Catholicate Anthem and the programme ended with a benediction by Moran Mar Baselius Marthoma Paulose II.

As any kid who's read Lemony Snicket could have predicted, there's nothing conventional about this latest offering from his alter ego. Handler's third work for adults is a dizzying read, defying categorization. A collection of 16 intertwining vignettes, each with an adverbial title, the book is about connection—random and intimate, sexual and platonic. Characters from one story turn up unexpectedly in others (pay close attention to the people in Andy's Diner, the setting of "Frigidly"), often challenging the reader's assumptions about them. Not even the narrator's gender is clear, but at least once it's Handler himself. In "Truly," he describes a family hike during which his mother loses the diamond from her engagement ring; it was a jewel that had been smuggled past the Nazis in his grandmother's shoe. Then, a decade later, the author encounters an eerily similar story in a novel by another writer (Crows Over a Wheatfield by Paula Sharp, a real book). Handler suggests that readers not focus on how his mother's mishap could have made it into someone else's novel, saying, "You would forget the miracle, the reason diamonds end up on people's fingers in the first place." People who prefer their plots to be linear probably won't like this, but those who can handle the fun house distortions will find wicked humor, odd refractions and, occasionally, brilliance.
by Fiona Mountain
A mystery series featuring a genealogy researcher may not promise excitement, but Mountain keeps things hopping in her second entry in the Natasha Blake series. Blake is an "ancestor detective" (and, ironically, an adoptee) hired by well-off Charles Seagrove to investigate the background of a 21-year-old who seems to be unrelated to him. Blake provides her client with information which turns out to be damning—the man's ancestors include a parlor maid who murdered her employer in 1852 and a fellow accused of "night poaching" and other crimes. Shortly afterward Seagrove turns up murdered himself—shot to death in his own garden. As Blake peels away the layers, she uncovers a twisted eugenics scheme that dates back to World War II. Mountain's writing is brisk and well-suited to the genre, but Americans occasionally may have trouble decoding Britishisms like "the poor lad's gone a bit doolally." The pleasures of spying on Blake as she spies into the past, though, are worth the effort.
by Rich Cohen
Cohen's sprawling family memoir addresses 20th-century Jewish immigration to New York, the role of sugar production in ancient empires and the history of the Mafia, among other subjects. Though they may seem disparate, each topic is linked to Cohen's family: His grandfather Ben Eisenstadt was the inventor of Sweet'N Low. An incredibly rich man, he left everything to his wife, Betty, who eventually disinherited Cohen's mother. Relying on meticulous research, Cohen tells a fascinating story about family bonds in his quest to discover why his mother was cast out. His skewering of his relatives is merciless—in the case of his aunt Gladys, his writing achieves a gloss so high that even the print looks slick. Of course, plenty of writers have dissected their less-than-perfect families. Dealing with the issues with this much heart, though—that's extraordinary.
Judas: A Good Guy?
Could history's most famous betrayer have acted in good faith? An ancient manuscript (newly translated and analyzed in two new books by members of a National Geographic team of scholars) suggests that Jesus wanted to be turned over to the Romans. The scoop:
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? The Gospel of Judas—from the 3rd or 4th century—was discovered in a cave in Egypt in the 1970s, then passed among antiquities dealers for years before translators found it.
WHY IS IT A BIG DEAL? Unlike the other four Gospels, it portrays Judas as Jesus' favorite disciple and says Jesus ordered Judas to betray him, thus freeing Jesus' soul.
IS IT FOR REAL? Scholars agree it's an authentic Gnostic text. But since it was written hundreds of years after Christ's death, its historical truth remains up for debate.
Becoming Myself
Artist and sculptor Willa Shalit (NBC critic Gene's daughter) asked 56 high-profile women for their comments and recollections on growing up and being female. Some of the highlights:
KATE WINSLET On her nude scene for Titanic: "Hours of lighting had gone on to make me look good. It's heartbreaking to me that women watch these images and say, 'I want to look like that.'... I do not have a toned ass. I do not have a flat stomach. I have cellulite ... Really, I'm not that hot."
J.K.ROWLING "There are many things I liked, then and now, about being a girl. The friendships you make ... I like women's perceptiveness and ability to empathize. I like their ability to juggle 19 jobs before breakfast, and I prefer women's shoes."
MERYL STREEP "As a girl, I remember really liking the feeling of being pretty. It was sort of thrilling and could put a spring in your step. Of course, it was always accompanied by that tiny little demon voice that said, 'No, you're not pretty.'"

Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono are once again at odds over songwriting credits. For the last several years McCartney has lobbied John Lennon's widow about flipping the Lennon/McCartney credit on a number of Beatles songs so that McCartney could get top billing on the works for which he did the bulk of the writing (particularly Paul's "Yesterday"). Ono has resisted, citing an agreement John and Paul made early in their partnership. But on McCartney's new live album, Back in the U.S., 19 Beatles songs are listed as being written by McCartney/Lennon. Ono's lawyer calls the move "outrageous" and is considering legal options. McCartney's reps didn't return calls. Guess the days of "All You Need Is Love" are over.
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos currently stars in the thriller Femme Fatale, recently wrapped next spring's X-Men 2 and has just started shooting Godsend with Robert De Niro in Toronto. With her career on such a roll, it was only fitting that her husband, actor John Stamos, threw her a 30th-birthday party on Nov. 3 at an L.A. roller rink. Among the 100 guests were Jon Lovitz, Jenny McCarthy and Lori Loughlin, Stamos's Full House costar. When not skating to '80s tunes, the guests feasted on sushi and watched a musical finger snapper as he snapped out "Happy Birthday." To top things off, Stamos gave his wife canary diamond earrings—2 carats each—from luxury jeweler Chopard.
Why is the married, 55-year-old Carlos Santana sending flowers to a 19-year-old girl? Well, if the teen is Michelle Branch, it's to thank her for collaborating on their hit single, "The Game of Love." Every time Branch performs the song at one of Santana's appearances, the guitarist and his wife, Deborah, send Branch a dozen white roses. So far, the pop star has gotten 120 buds. "I've been trying to save them," says Branch. "But they don't pack in the suitcase well. So I save all the cards instead."
He was a bachelor, but was he a gentleman? A titillating e-mail making the rounds last week cited an AP story that claimed The Bachelor star Aaron Buerge had gotten three of the contestants on the hit ABC reality show pregnant. The article even quoted Michael Eisner, CEO of ABC's parent company, Disney, who supposedly said they were going to make Buerge take a paternity test. But Bachelor fans can relax. The e-mail was a hoax, something series creator Mike Fleiss knew instantly. "If Michael Eisner is being quoted," says Fleiss, "I would have known about this."
As Kiefer Sutherland's daughter on the FOX drama 24, actress Elisha Cuthbert finds herself in peril every week. A couple of weeks ago, however, Cuthbert faced down a real-life threat on the set. While preparing for a scene with a cougar, Cuthbert approached the big cat to pet it. But the animal, excited by either the fake blood on the actress's arm or the smell of potato chips that she had just eaten, suddenly bit Cuthbert on the right hand. Production stopped as Cuthbert was taken to a hospital, where she received treatment (but no stitches) for a puncture wound. She still has to redo the scene—but fortunately with a different cougar.

In multiplayer games, natures from all Nintendo worlds assemble up in Nintendo locales to duke it out. In the solo mode called "The Subspace Emissary," the world of Smash Bros. is attack by an entity called the Ancient Minister and his army of makers, called "The Primid." Normally, characters come alive in the world of Smash Bros. to do fight and then turn back into trophies when beaten. However, the Ancient Minister starts rotating characters into trophies to attach their power and then detonates bombs that suck pieces of the world back into his realm of Subspace. Ultimately, all the characters must work mutually to defeat the invading makers from Subspace - this is accomplished by playing through side-scrolling stages.

Everyone had to adjust to rough seas that evening, and dinner was a bit of a challenge. By Saturday, the next day, it was warm and sunny enough to sunbathe on deck chairs. We enjoyed a gift exchange and meet & greet with Cruise Critic members on Saturday, and our "leader" Tigger B, arranged for us to have a get-together with the Captain and senior staff the next morning at 11. Both were very nice events, and made cruising all the more pleasant for having met so many people and ship's staff. As promised, later in the cruise, the Captain made announcements of whale sightings and the ship even changed course a bit for us to enjoy the view.
Food, entertainment, cabin staff, dining room staff, cleanliness, friendliness and ship layout all earn high marks from us. Room service was timely. Bar service absolutely lovely. The Spirit Showband played excellent jazz music at various venues throughout the ship and we especially enjoyed the before-dinner music and cocktails in the Atrium. Photographers did a fine job. We did one shore excursion in Acapulco, to a snorkel site on Isla Roqueta, and created our own snorkeling excursions in Zihuatanejo & Manzanillo.Fellow passengers were friendly and pleasant for the most part. The ship never seemed crowded, whether in the Lido buffet, in the dining room, on elevators, in the gym or spa, pools, decks, or jacuzzis. Even the hallways never got crazy with people traveling back and forth. We were told the ship was full, but it seemed very uncrowded and comfortable.
Later in the cruise, we discovered that the spa had nice saunas, steam rooms and deluxe showers on each side (men's and women's) and began taking advantage of those amenities. The gym was well-equipped and spacious. The food was tasty and abundant; we enjoyed the soft-serve ice cream machines and Lido dessert buffet. But there were plenty of opportunities to walk the decks, take the stairs, and otherwise negate all those calories.
Cruise Director Stuart Dunn was affable, lively, humorous and entertaining, ably assisted by his staff. The actual shows and entertainment in the evenings would rate about a 3 out of 5. We've seen better and worse. They were passable at worst and very decent at best. The only temptation at the late shows was to go to bed and get a good start on the next day's activities. Stu joked that we should stay up late and get up early every day of the cruise, as we could "sleep next week when you're back at work". We came home exhausted but happy. We would consider taking the same ship on the same itinerary a second time. Can't beat the heat in January in the southern Mexican Riviera (see port reviews below).
Disembarkation was swift and comfortable--thanks in part to Stu's gentle reminders over the PA, people did not crowd the halls and stairways to await their zone being called. Also notable that morning was his announcement that we should all "wake up, we're here, we're in Honolulu." You could hear people chuckling all over the ship. Good humor, good instructions, good follow-through.
By golly, Manzanillo isn't even listed as a port. It was the sleeper surprise. We had not been able to find tour book information about Manzanillo. The port is industrial. There is a shuttle to downtown ($4 round trip) which we took with our friends to do a little shopping. The town is pleasant to walk around in and the shopping is decent. Upon returning to the ship, we took a taxi to Playa La Audiencia for a negotiated rate of $12 each way. It's about a 25 minute ride. First you have to get out of the port area, and then onto a busy highway, and finally you arrive at the resort area. There are several beaches to choose from. Playa La Audiencia was low-key and uncrowded, with rental beach chairs at only one end, so we walked to the opposite end and shared the water and snorkeling again with a group of friendly local teens. If you smile and say "buenos dias" or "buenos tardes" you will likely be rewarded with a lovely smile and a very pleasant response. We found this to be the case everywhere we went on this cruise. Again, the water was clean, clear, beautiful and full of interesting fish. Our taxi was waiting for us at the appointed hour and we returned to the ship in time for a very nice sunset up on Deck 10 as the ship sailed out of port.
Shopping here was a little more pleasant, and after cleaning up we made a second trip to shore to enjoy the village. Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo has gorgeous beaches, friendly people, and a wonderful resort atmosphere.

Dallas Cowboys' Jenkins succeeding in second season
IRVING - For about 10 years, Tracy Sanders tried to get his nephew over to the hill in Palmetto, Fla., and just about every time, Mike Jenkins said no.
"Because he had natural athletic ability and talent, he sort of survived off that," Sanders said.
But two years ago, Jenkins took Sanders up on the offer.
The hill isn't really a hill. It's an incline leading to a highway overpass, going about 25 feet high. They would sprint up the hill. Backpedal up the hill. Shuffle up the hill. Jump on one foot up the hill, then the other. Sprint down the hill.
For two hours early in the summer mornings a few times a week, Sanders would lead his nephew and a group of area high school players up and down the hill.
"He threw up the first couple of times he did it," Sanders said. "He said, 'Unc, I didn't know it was going to be like this.' "
After the Cowboys finished their organized team activities and mini-camp last June, Sanders - who played at Florida State, spent a year on injured reserve with Buffalo and played for Tampa Bay in the Arena Football League - had a message for Jenkins: "As hard as you're working, it's not at a Pro Bowl level."
The comment sort of flew by Jenkins at the time, but later that night it clicked.
"I was like, 'Yeah, let's go,' " Jenkins said.
Jenkins will find out Tuesday if he makes his first Pro Bowl, but his second season has been a major success even without a trip to Miami for the NFL's all-star game.
Jenkins leads the Cowboys with five interceptions entering tonight's game at Washington. He is second to Terence Newman with 19 pass deflections. The coaches have credited him with 56 tackles. He needs two interceptions in his final two games to have the most by a Cowboys defensive back since Everson Walls had nine in 1985.
"It was him," coach Wade Phillips said. "It was his attitude."
As a rookie, Jenkins had to adjust to being a spectator. He was a three-year starter at Southeast High School in Bradenton, Fla. He started 40 of 48 games at South Florida.
Jenkins, a first-round pick, expected to play immediately, but that only happened because of injury (Anthony Henry) or suspension (Adam Jones). He was remembered more for avoiding a tackle than for anything else he did in 2008.
This year, he has Phillips and the defensive coaches wondering if he can do without help against wide receivers.
"Sometimes I think we can say, 'Hey, you've got this guy with no help. No middle safety, no nothing, you've got him,' " Phillips said. "He's getting to that point. The free safety can help somebody else and not even worry about him. He's not perfect, but he's getting better and better."
Jenkins has figured out how to watch film. He has a different notebook for each game, charting every route and how the receiver breaks off the line of scrimmage. He studies routes run on particular down and distances. He looks at the quarterback, studying the drops. A shorter drop, a shorter throw. A deeper drop, a deeper throw.
Each week, quarterback Tony Romo will give him a key on the opposing quarterback.
"I don't know that he pays attention any more, but he's learning," secondary coach Dave Campo said. "You don't have to tell him things three or four times. You tell him once, and he's paying attention. He's getting better at it."
By paying more attention to the mental side of the game, Jenkins is able to do more with his physical abilities.
"I'm not scared to lose," Jenkins said. "I'm not scared to get caught on. I'm not scared to get beat deep. I think that's helped me, not being scared and going out being ready to challenge anybody."
That hill doesn't seem so steep anymore, but it will always be there.
"One of the things I've preached to Mike and my sons is that it takes hard work to get to the top," Sanders said, "but once you get to the top, you don't forget the hard work that got you there."
Listen to The Ticket to hear Todd Archer analyze the Cowboys one hour before kickoff.

The rafters will be rattling at Lumen Christi High School on Saturday afternoon during the second annual Jackson Percussion Concussion.
But don't worry, earplugs will be available.
"It is a very high-energy, amazing event," said Suzanne McCloskey, one of the event's several organizers. "The choreography and routines really make it a very entertaining show."
The event features the high school band drumlines from East Jackson, Jackson, Michigan Center, Vandercook Lake, Northwest, Western and Adrian performing in a drum-off judged by members of the Detroit Pistons Drumline, which also will perform.
Each drumline will be rated on its technical ability and crowd appeal. Northwest won the competition last year, but Michigan Center is gunning for the top prize now, said Dan Bickel, band director.
"This event last year was a springboard to take our drumline to the next level," Bickel said. "It gives our drummers a chance to do something on their own, instead of just holding the tempo for the rest of the band. They really get to show off their talents."
Besides being entertaining and competitive, the Jackson Percussion Concussion is a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Last year's event raised $7,000, and McCloskey said organizers hope to top $10,000 this year.
Those planning to attend can save $2 on admission by buying tickets in advance at Aeroquip Credit Union, CP Federal Credit Union, EECU – A Community Credit Union, Jackson City County Credit Union, Jackson Community Federal Credit Union, Lenco Credit Union and South Central Credit Union branches. Advance sales end at the close of business Friday.
"This is a very fun event that's unique to this area," McCloskey said. "And the money raised goes to a good cause, so it's a great day all around."
If you go...
What: Jackson Percussion Concussion
When: Saturday. Doors open at 12:15 p.m. Event starts at 1 p.m.
Where: Lumen Christi High School, 3483 Spring Arbor Road
Cost: $8 in advance, $10 at the door

I took on a position with the Albuquerque Westside Chamber of Commerce on their Board of Directors, which meant I had to start dressing up. I mean, I can't go to meetings in the jeans and Nike's that I've always worn. I didn't even know where to start, so I called in the experts. I hadn't dressed in anything other than jeans and Nike's for over 6 years…so I didn't even know where to start. First person to call? The amazing Shelley at Still Blonde After All These Years was the first person I had to talk to. She is the fashion guru. After taking some advice, I started shopping.
I don't have a ton of money to work with, so I had to be creative with my outfits to get the most for my money. They don't call me "Thrifty Ninja" for nothing, right? During this transformation from Mommydom to Fashionista I found a new favorite store….Ross. One of my good friends said to go check Ross, so of course I had to check it out. I hadn't been in years.
I found this dress and fell in love! I tried it on and it fit like it was made just for me. Best thing? It was only $12.99! Yep, that's right. $12.99 for this amazing dress! They had a BUNCH of other items that I'll talk about in my next posts, but yes, they are amazing. Amazing price and dress is so awesome.
So you see the amazing shoes? They are cute, right? They are Steve Madden. I saw these and fell in love. You will never guess where I found them. We were out looking at yard sales this weekend and I saw these sitting there. Looking all cute and amazing. I checked them out and they were like brand new. I don't know that they were ever worn. I think they were some that were bought, they realized that they hurt their feet so they sat in the closet until this sale. So they cost me $5. I know some people freak out about getting shoes at a place like a yard sale….guess what? People try on shoes all day long at the stores and decide not to buy them. What's the difference? Clean them up and you are good to go. It's not like you are going to want to
Total cost of outfit?
This entire outfit cost me $17.99. Yep, this amazing outfit for less than $20! It isn't hard to do. It is all about knowing where to find the best deals. I bet that everyone that saw me out at my meeting today had no idea that my entire outfit only cost about $20. Go me!

Contact Alissa Roath, NCMS membership chair, firstname.lastname@example.com, 734-995-3457. Also Plan to Participate in the 2013 CTMA Symposium 8-10 April, US Navy Yard, Washington, D.C. Start preparing for the $100,000 Maintenance Challenge, continuing this year at the CTMA Symposium. This year we will be looking for quick-hitting project ideas with technology deployment at a DoD maintenance facility within 4 months. In addition, we will be featuring a deputy commanders panel outlining current technology needs, as well as a panel moderated by Adele Ratcliff with the service laboratories showcasing projects addressing sustainment needs. Recently Completed CTMA Project: Automated Process and Inspection Guide Automated Process & Inspection Guide (AP&IG) Phase I standardized both the inspection data and the inspections process for depot maintenance facilities. It utilized Aspire Solutions, Inc (ASI) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software application combined with COTS ultra-mobile PC technology to guide the user through the inspection process (improve accuracy) and standardize the defect data (enhance analysis capabilities). The project was unique in that it involved two pilots. The first was at Red River Army Depot (RRAD) involving the high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) ground vehicle. The second was at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) involving the C/KC-135 aircraft. These environments are very diverse and highlighted the tool's configurability. The RRAD pilot focused on the HMMWV road test. This inspection involved actually driving the vehicle to ensure functional operation. The pilot had two key goals: Standardize the defect data – Because of the high volume of HMMWV produced (28 to 32 per day), it was critical to analyze the defect data to ensure an issue was not missed. Missing an issue for a week could result in 150 HMMWVs that required full re-inspection. Decrease work – Because of the volume, rework was done during overtime hours making it very expensive. The pilot produced strong bottomline results that helped inspect/repair the HMMWV faster and reduce cost while improving the overall quality with fewer personnel required. The RRAD pilot on the HMMWV yielded substantial savings: Manpower reduction 73% Inspection time decreased 29% Reporting time reduced 96% Inspector training time down 80%. It produced an estimated savings of over $2.3Mannually. The OC-ALC pilot focused on the C/KC-135 inspection dock. This inspection reviewed the entire aircraft for defects once the plane had been stripped of paint and key access panels were removed. Because of the scale of the aircraft, the pilot focused on the leading edge wing since it was a problem area. The pilot had two keys goals: Capture head knowledge – Because of the turnover/retirement in staff, finding and training inspectors was a challenge. Due to the complexity of the aircraft, the training lead-time was 6 months and there was a shortage of experienced personnel to perform the training. Decrease inspection time – Reduce the amount of time spent in inspections without impact accuracy to enable more true maintenance time on the aircraft. The OC-ALC pilot on the C/KC-135 produced significant savings: Manpower reduction 29% Inspection time decreased 35% Reporting time reduced 94% Inspector training time down 80% Test flights decreased 42%. This produced an estimated savings of over $3.9Mannually. The NCMS contact is Debbie Lilu, email@example.com, 734-995-7038 We appreciate your feedback.

There Is No Such Thing As No Bugs
From the
There is no such thing as "no bugs". There is mean time between failure, either estimated or measured. The space shuttle software is supposed to fail less than once a century. Windows, apparently, is supposed to fail less than once an hour. I would be satisfied with MTBF of a month, and happy with a year.
"Zero defects" is a cop out for people who don't want to think hard about tradeoffs. --
A kinder phrasing of this concept is "continuous improvement." Nothing is perfect, but things can always be made better.
Unless "tradeoffs" are a cop out for people who don't want to think hard about defects.
Okay, so there's no such thing as perfection. It's been said a thousand times before. Please complete the pattern. Since there's no such thing as no bugs, therefore ... (?)
... improvement is always possible. If improvement is always possible, we can avoid having "defect" witch hunts and CYA documents just in case an improvement is needed.
Oh, so a bug isn't really anything to get upset about, it's just an opportunity for improvement, and the more the merrier. SprinkleLoveOnTheSoftwareToMakeItGood
, shall we?
Some ideas
This software is known to pass these tests. If these tests include your desired functionality, you can be reasonably assured that the software will work for your purposes.
Use an external testing company to provide an objective report.
Have an
, who can provide valuable feedback to the team about the performance of the software. If the software is to be used by non-technical people, it is better that this internal tester not be a technical person.
I dunno. I'm pretty sure I can write a one-line program which has no bugs. (How about y'all ?) How about two lines ? Maybe I can make it three...
Well, it must break down somewhere. Where ? Kent suggests we think about tradeoffs - there's at least one involved, small and simple/no bugs vs. large and featureful/some or many bugs.
A friend of mind tells a story about a one-line module in an IBM operating system (which switched between the equivalent of user mode and kernel mode). It stayed as that one line for several years - then someone found it didn't do quite the right thing, and a bug report was raised. It ended up as a dozen lines or so. So, even a one line program can have non-trivial bugs!
Software is fragile, probably the most fragile artifact people have ever created. A single defective line of code in a million line system can render it unusable. So for the foreseeable future software will have defects --
. The only way out seems to be to harness the re-usability of software. Write each X once (linked list, XML parser, etc), test the hell out of it, and then use it everywhere X is needed.

I have an Intel xseve 10.4.9 server bound to AD and also have OD configured
on the same server for Mac management.
Other services running are AFP and WINDOWS. I will also be using the same
server as a file server for both Mac and Windows.
Below are my issues.
When the WINDOWS service starts on our Intel Xserve with 10.4.9 installed I
receive the below error message.
I have tested single sign on "SSO" from Mac and Windows systems and
everything seems to work, but am concerned that this error may cause an
issue at a later date.
I also have an issue with windows users suddenly not being able to connect
to a share on the Intel Xserve via SMB which is strange as the same user on
a Mac could still connect via AFP or SMB a restart of the WINDOWS service
seems to clear this problem, not sure if this is related to the below error
but it's a real issue and seems to be very random. When this happen I seem
to receive "broken pipe" errors in the "smbd.conf" log.
I checked the "secrets.tdb" and found that this did not have the "\00" on
the end of the "SECRETS/MACHINE_PASSWORD/", so I ran the script at "afp548"
site under forum "10.4.8 Intel - AD, Samba kerberos machine password" which
added the "\00". The strange thing is that all seemed to still work even
thought the "secrets.tdb" was not correct, perhaps this could be the cause
of the SMB dropouts?
Below is from the SMBD.LOG

The above error occurs after I BIND the server to AD and run the "dsconfigad
enableSSO" command and restart the server. I have tried removing the OD
configuration and BINDING to AD again but still get the above error.
The "OSXSERVER" in the log is the OS X server name and the "REALM.EDU.AU"
is the AD realm. It seems to be related to the SMB.conf as when I change the
"netbios" name in the SMB.conf the "OSXSERVER" name changes in the SMBD.LOG..
Thanks for any help,

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The long-awaited prisoner swap to secure the release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit has elicited strong emotional responses both in favor and against.
For Shalit's parents, brother, and many Israelis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement Tuesday brought indescribable relief and rejoicing.
Countrywide, most families shared Noam and Aviva Shalit's happiness at the prospect of their son's homecoming after more than five years in captivity.
But for those whose parents, spouses, siblings, and children were brutally murdered by some of the Palestinians being set free in exchange for Shalit, it's a bitter pill to swallow.
Exactly 1,027 prisoners, some serving life sentences for suicide bombings, knifings, drive-by shootings, and other terror attacks that killed and injured hundreds of Israelis, are due to be released in the two-part prisoner exchange.
On Thursday night, a 27 year old from Givat Shmuel in central Israel, spray painted "price tag" and "free Yigal Amir" graffiti on the Tel Aviv memorial of slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Amir assassinated Rabin at a peace rally in 1995.
Though police have yet to release an official statement, one prisoner who will be released includes the female terrorist who drove the suicide bomber to Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria in 2001.
The tagger's parents and three siblings were among the 15 Israelis killed in the bombing, which wounded 130 others.
Shalit Won't Be the Last
On Wednesday, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the "military wing" of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), warned that "Shalit would not be the last [soldier to be kidnapped]."
"The Zionist soldier Gilad Shalit would not be the last as long as [the] Zionist occupation [is] kidnapping our prisoners," the terror group warned on its website.
They added that they remain committed to freeing "every prisoner…by any way the brigades see suitable."
Hamas claimed that Israel met 95 percent of its demands in the swap.
On Saturday night, Israel will publish the list of prisoners to be released Tuesday in the first of the two-stage swap, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said earlier this week, giving Israelis opposed to the deal 48 hours to petition the court.
On the same night, Netanyahu's principal negotiator, David Meidan, will travel to Cairo to finalize the complex details of the exchange.
If all goes as planned, Shalit could be home as early as Tuesday, Gantz said.

EAST WINDSOR — A Retro Fitness and a Bottom Dollar Food store will open at the Windsor Heights Shopping Center on Route 130 this year, Mayor Janice Mironov said today.
In a state of the township address to the MidJersey Chamber of Commerce, Mironov announced the two newest tenants for the shopping center, which was bought by Advance Realty of Bedminster last summer.
"It's been a center in need of some new tenants, some new work," Mironov said.
The strip mall has been half-vacant over the last few years, as commercial activity slowed and retailers left.
Retro Fitness is a low-cost membership gym, Mironov said, and Bottom Dollar Food is a low-cost grocery chain.
Other national franchises have been in discussions to open in the shopping center, and more store openings will be announced in the coming months, she said.
"There is a lot of optimism in East Windsor this year. We have a lot of projects, and there will be more in the coming months," Mironov said.
The new toll plaza at Interchange 8 on the N.J. Turnpike, at the intersection of routes 33 and 133, opened earlier this year with few hiccups, she said.
A connector bridge from Route 133 to Interchange 8 was originally scheduled to open this spring, but is now slated to open sometime in the summer, she said. Interchanges 6 through 9 will be widened to 12 lanes.
"That project is moving forward and I encourage you to share any concerns you have about it," Mironov said.
The 10-lane toll plaza and connector bridge are part of a $2.7 billion Turnpike widening project that remains in progress.
"The Turnpike widening project is slated to be completed, so they say, by mid-2014. We'll see," Mironov said.
In other business, Mironov attributed the township's need for an 1.5-cent increase in the municipal tax rate this year to the state-mandated reserve for uncollected taxes.
If a property owner wins a tax appeal, the municipality is responsible for repaying the school and county taxes as well, Mironov said.
The township is required to have about $1 million in its reserve this year to cover the cost of paying those appeals, she said.
"That money buys nothing, absolutely nothing," Mironov said.
The municipal portion of residents' tax bill this year is about half of the state average, Mironov said.
"We believe very strongly in East Windsor that we have managed the town in a very responsible and fiscally conservative manner," she said.

Financing Frictions and the Substitution Between Internal and External Funds
Heitor Almeida
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)

Cornell University; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
November 7, 2007
AFA 2008 New Orleans Meetings Paper
There is ample empirical evidence of a negative relation between internal funds (profitability) and the demand for external funds (debt issuance). This negative relation has been interpreted as evidence for external financing costs arising from capital market frictions such as asymmetric information (e.g., the pecking order theory). We show, however, that the negative effect of internal funds on the demand for external financing is concentrated among firms that are \QTR{em}{least likely} to face high costs of external finance (firms that distribute large amounts of dividends, that are large, and whose bonds and commercial papers are rated). For firms in the other end of the spectrum (low payout, small, and unrated), external financing is insensitive to innovations to internal funds. These cross-firm differences hold separately for debt and outside equity financing, and are magnified in the aftermath of macroeconomic movements that tighten financial constraints. We argue that the greater degree of complementarity between internal funds and external finance for constrained firms is a consequence of the interdependence of their financing and investment decisions. Our findings suggest that the negative relation between internal funds and external financing should not be interpreted as evidence for external financing costs.

Personally I saw Mao as the only skater on Yulias level. Kim too but shes basically been inactive 3 years. It was bad luck for Yulia that both GPF and Worlds were in Japan. It made her go into those competitions with the attitude of silver basically being the best attainable result.
As far as whats left its mainly girls that can beat Yulia if they have a real good day and Yulia has a bad day.
Also, Yulia also fell on the 3S in worlds this year in her FS. The venue had nothing to do with it. Mao did a step-out on one of her jumps but she also had, to my eye, greater speed and height than Yulia did on the day. Plus, Mao's perfect SP put her ahead of Yulia and while not insurmountable it did put some distance between them.
I do think Yulia will sweep through next season and enjoy a big win at worlds!
What remains to be seen is how Yulia will handle the pressure of being the favourite (or "target," depending on how you look at it). She's shown more consistency than the rest of the field, but she isn't prone to errors.
I don't think she'll sweep next season, although I would hardly be surprised if she did. Any other skater sweeping next season would be a huge surprise for me, as none of the other skaters have shown consistency to be capable of sweeping their season.
Julia is still one of my favourite skaters, and she has special qualities that Asada/Kim lack (flexibility, variety/positions/speed in spins, the ability to add 3-3's or 2A-3's in the second half), but in terms of skating skills and presentation, it's really quite unfair to Julia to even compare her at this point to much more developed skaters like Asada/Kim/Kostner.

FINANCE Minister Pravin Gordhan on Wednesday in his budget speech in Parliament announced the introduction of a carbon tax to mitigate the effects of climate change.
It will be introduced at the rate of R120 per ton of carbon-dioxide equivalent effective from January 1 2015.
According to the Treasury, an updated policy paper will be published by the end of March for further comment and consultation.
"The energy-efficiency savings tax incentive will help companies to reduce their energy intensity and the country's level of carbon-dioxide emissions," said the budget review document.
"Some of the revenues generated through the carbon tax will be recycled to fund the energy-efficiency savings tax incentive. A gradual phasing out of the electricity levy, as the carbon tax is phased in, is also being considered."
During the first phase of implementation a basic tax-free threshold of 60% has been proposed, as well as offset percentages of 5%-10%, to allow emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to invest in projects outside their normal operations to help reduce their carbon-tax liabilities.
Meanwhile, emission tax has also been increased for passenger vehicles. With effect from April 1, emissions tax for passenger vehicles will rise to R90 from R75 for every gram of emissions per kilometre above 120g of carbon dioxide per kilometre. In the case of double cabs, it will rise to R125 from R100 for every gram per kilometre in excess of 175g of carbon dioxide per kilometre.
In a related move, the Treasury said government will from April 1 increase the levy on plastic shopping bags by 50% to 6c/bag from the current 4c/bag. The environmental levy on incandescent light bulbs will increase to R4 per bulb from the current R3 per bulb.

> Hi all
> I am using WAS ND 184.108.40.206 on linux (Redhat). I have 2 servers (WASDEV01 & WASDEV02), both installed with WAS61 ND and both servers are running the Deployment Manager, a Node and 3 server instances. I now want to have both Nodes federated to a single DM (on WASDEV01) for easier management and codedeployment.
> I have tried using the addNode command but so far with no success.
> First attempt was to login to WASDEV02 and run the addNode (./addNode WASDEV01 8879) and this failed with ADMU0033E - the node has already been added to the cell. I even re-installed websphere on WASDEV02 and changed the node name and still got the same error.
> So then I tried going the other way by logging onto WASDEV01 and ./addNode WASDEV02 8879 and got the same error....?
> I am new to this federating of Nodes, but comfortable with WAS ND. If there are any good articles on federating examples, please let me know. Of course if I am making some obvious mistake, then please let me know.
Since you want both installations to be managed by one DM. Have you
tried installing just the base application server on the second server
and adding the stand alone node to the DM?

When you mention the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., most people think of the Wall. There was a lot of controversy concerning that memorial, so let me state that while I'm not showing it here, it is not because I dislike it. The Wall is powerful. But I've always been drawn to more literal depictions of things, rather than abstracts, so I wanted to take a moment to look at a second portion of the memorial – the statues of the three solders that stand near the etched roll of names.

Melvin Larimer's stone identifies him as having been an artificer in the Spanish-American War. I might have seen other stones with the designation before, but I hadn't noticed. On Fort Sumter's website, I found "artificer" in their FAQ section. Paraphrasing, an artificer would have been an enlisted artillery man with a specialized skill that allowed him to supervise or organize that kind of work.

Sacred to the memory of Alexander Doull, Colonel of Artillery in the Army of the Potomac, previously lieutenant in the Royal British Artillery
The inscription on Colonel Doull's tombstone reminds us of a fact about the United States Civil War that be forgotten – the important role that immigrants played in the armies. About 25% of the Union army was estimated to be foreign-born immigrants. With the rate of immigration in the 19th century, we also have to assume that there was a significant slice of the United States-born soldiers who had parents or grandparents who were immigrants.

Samuel Pickands joined the 1st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Artillery, on February 1, 1862. By the end of March, he was dead, most likely of disease. According to the Ohio Roster Commission's Offical Roster of soldiers, Pickands died on March 25 in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The tombstone identifies his place of death as Virginia rather than West Virginia. As West Virginia did not enter the Union until June 20, 1863, Pickand and his family would have known the state where he died as Virginia. Even if they were aware of the movement for West Virginia to become its own state, the convention to create a state constitution did not present a document for ratification until mid-February, and the ratification occurred at least a month after Pickands' death.

Medical warning for swallowed toothpick?
I ordered Jason's Deli and got a wrap sandwich. I took a couple of bites and did interest a crunch but thought it was the voluminous onion so I swallowed and then looked inside my sandwich and the tooth pick be all the means of access wrapped inside not sticking through the top like my kids. And I have swallowed half of it. I measured and it is in the order of a little over an inch. It's merely been almost 15 minutes and I feel okay, and I don't own medical insurance so I don't know if it calls for a ER trip? Is in that something I can do to help it go past? Should I notify Jason's Deli?
HELP! i lost my voice and have to sing in a musical tonight! how can i bring back it back?I wouldn't help yourself to anything from a popular primetime TV show to heart.
An inch of toothpick should pass fine. Your bowels are more than an inch and diameter. The toothpick should be wet in gastric juice and acid to break it down even though it is wood. But if you're worried, some signs of perforation of the intestine is blood in stool and abdominal backache.
But it should pass fine, there's no have need of to tie up emergency services for this if you do not have the presenting symptoms. I tight what are they going to do? Do surgery? Unlikely...not until you have presenting symptoms Give you laxitives? Sure why not and in the anticipate time drop your potassium levels to where on earth you'll be getting IV potassium.
Why do multivitamins make your urnine turn grey yellow?ouch! I own no idea, but I would shift to a doctor for sure, you could rip up your throat
need to know if i was given right med?I would turn to ER immediately if you perceive any sharp pains.
Other than that, have some Preparation H on mitt for the exit of the toothpick.
Smoker to Non Smoker - just established HOW?Notify the deli and document it and the time. Go to ER for xray. I saw this on House and it really messed some kid up til they found it. It can perforate something
"Urgent endoscopy is indicated for patients who have swallowed aluminum soda can tab or toothpicks, since these objects are not visible on plain radiographs and both hold a relatively high incidence of complications. If the history is clear, proceed to endoscopy; if hazy, CT scanning may be used to confirm the presence of the foreign body until that time endoscopy." [1]
"Approximately 80% to 90% of swallowed objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract in need problems. However, some types of objects can cause more serious problems when they are swallowed. These include:
* Sharp objects, such as instigate safety pins, bones, toothpicks, needles, cut-throat blades, or broken thermometers." [2]
"Call your health professional fast if you answer "Yes" to any of the following questions.
Note: Do not devour or drink anything until you have talk with your doctor.
Have you swallowed a sharp doubt, such as an open safekeeping pin, a straight pin, bone, toothpick, needle, blade blade, or broken thermometer?" [3]
I am a runner with what seem to be chronic shin splints for the past year and a partially. Help!!?Get off the computer and Go to the E.R. immediately! Better safe than sorry! And don't loaf for more answers!
If a dog can have a punctured stomache from a piece of bone broken rotten and it's used to chewing and eating bones, what within the world is going to happen to you near a sharp small toothpick as your stomache digests the food?
Over an inch of a toothpick sharp on one or both ends going through all those feet of intestine! And yes notify Jason's deli! There are also emergency nouns aid programs you can check out later. Don't adjournment! Go to the E.R. now!
Eyes hurting from computer use..lend a hand?well tooth picks could cause problems if swallowed, but its terribly unlikely just pass it a couple days and it should pass through the digestive track as a rule... but if you start having stomach pains you should see a doctor weather you can afford it or not .
Which brands/memory supplements work? I.E. Gingko Biloba, Vinpocetine, etc.? Thanks.?Just go to the ER...
There, you will find a sign on the wall that tell you what to do if you do not have insurance that will cover the stop by.
After you do that, you can deal near Jason's Deli.
And until you have proof of the toothpick,
the deli won't do anything anyway.
And you know...it isn't a moment ago that it can make a hole somewhere that can inflict a slow bleeding to death and such,
it is also that it can find lodged and cause you no bring to a close of silly sounding symptoms, that later will explanation you to be hard pressed to explain why you didn't walk and have it removed.
And, do you really want your extermination certificate to state that you died from a toothpick?

I read an article in the Essex Herald that said that thesoil from London's Crossrail project contains many unexploded bombs from WWII. Itwas quite a disturbing article. I hope its not true.
Hi Spider,
as you will probably know the Essex Herald refers to itself as "The home of intellectual vandalism since 1978", so I think someone's having a bit of fun with us! I can assure you this is not true - the only WWII item we have found lately was the very bent and rusted motor of a V2 rocket which we recovered before Easter for future use as part of a heritage display - see my blog in March www.rspb.org.uk/.../03.aspx
Do rest assured visitors will be perfectly safe to come and visit - why not see for yourself this weekend at the Wild Coast Weekend event!!

Advance and Applications
Texas Agency to Acquire High-Speed Wireless SystemSierra Wireless announced that it has provided next-generation wireless technology to law enforcement professionals in Texas. The Harris County Sheriff's Office, one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in Texas, is in the process of outfitting approximately 600 patrol vehicles and 300 detectives with a high-speed mobile solution powered by the Sierra Wireless AirCard 555. The new wireless system will replace an existing system and is designed to help officers retrieve critical information in the field with CDMA2000 1X technology from Sierra Wireless.
"In order to empower our front-line police officers and increase officer safety and performance, we turned to a next-generation wireless solution from Sierra Wireless," said Major Mike Smith of the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "The migration process from the AirCard 300 to the AirCard 555 is seamless and the enhanced service went beyond our expectations. We continue to select Sierra Wireless products because of their reputation in the industry and their ability to provide reliable mobile solutions. Our officers count on the AirCard to help them do their jobs effectively with increased access to critical information across a broader coverage area."
Law enforcement agencies across North America are now leveraging recently deployed next-generation wireless networks to implement systems that provide officers with the critical information needed to improve safety and response times. Harris County's recent transition from the cellular digital packet data (CDPD) wireless network to the faster and more reliable next-generation CDMA2000 1X wireless network ensures they have greater coverage and access to the higher speeds needed to implement data-intensive applications such as access to maps and photographs. The AirCard 555 operating on high-speed wireless networks is designed to help law enforcement professionals benefit from the capabilities wireless technology offers in the field with direct wireless access to motor vehicle and warrant information and federal, state, and local databases.

Jersey Police Select PI Vision's Digital Video Recording Solution PI Vision announces that the States of Jersey Police in the United Kingdom has selected the company's Universal Video Management System (UVMS) to form the digital recording backbone of its soon-to-be-upgraded CCTV system. Covering police headquarters and the town of Saint Helier, in Great Britain's Channel Islands, the system currently uses an analog recording system comprising a number of time-lapse VCRs. Systems integrator ADT has been selected to upgrade the system from analog to digital, with work commencing in March 2004.
Jersey Police has been researching the digital video recording market for two-and-a-half years and prepared a very demanding performance specification in preparation for tendering for the new DVR system. In particular, the system had to be capable of handling 60 camera inputs at 25 frames per second, at full resolution (4CIF), and with full-frame refresh, something that not many systems were able to achieve. The system also had to be easy to use and provide instant retrieval of video footage from any camera.
The ability to use frame-by-frame playback in forward and reverse was also an important consideration, especially when analyzing footage from incidents. Jersey Police ruled out the use of video motion detection to trigger video recording, requiring instead that the DVR provide continuous recording on all cameras 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Gary Buesnel, head of communications for Jersey Police, said, "The key issues are picture quality, recorded image integrity and authentication, and a reduction in the amount of officer time spent when retrieving archive recordings."
The system architecture is designed to ensure that there is no single point of failure, and components can be distributed to various locations and linked together over a network, with benefits in terms of security, space planning, and bandwidth management.

Portland Police Bureau Selects Crime Data SystemImageWare Systems Inc. announces that the Portland, Oregon, Police Bureau has selected the company to expand its existing Crime Capture System (CCS) to enable Web-based investigations and provide an enhanced data sharing platform with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Department. As part of the implementation, the Portland Police Bureau will also leverage ImageWare's CCS to create and produce all employee identification cards.
"We are very excited about this upgrade and look forward to conducting Web-based investigations using our secure intranet and mobile data terminals, as well as housing our own criminal data which will include data from the Multnomah County Sheriff's Department," said Captain Greg Hendricks of the Portland Police Bureau. "Our officers now have the tools they need to speed the investigative process and access criminal booking data remotely."

Redox Proteins as Cytotoxic Factors
In collaboration with the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, we have identified several bacterial secretory product(s) which are cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cells. Studies are in progress to ascertain their in vivo efficacy and subsequent clinical potential.
The basic research being done at UIC is becoming extremely exciting as a result of its potential to allow identification and characterization of new types of bacterial proteins that have never been known to have anticancer activity or even to enter mammalian cells. These bacterial proteins have been shown to enter various human cancer cells such as those of breast cancer, melanoma, colon cancer, etc., and to kill such cells by multiple mechanisms. For example, one of these bacterial proteins, azurin, previously known only to be involved in electron transfer, has now been shown to have the ability not only to enter cancer cells in preference to normal cells but to form complexes with the tumor suppressor protein p53, stabilizing it and raising its levels and thereby inducing apoptosis in such cells. Nothing happens to normal cells because the protein is extremely inefficient in entering normal breast epithelial cells. Other groups outside UIC have published papers confirming such complex formations or anticancer activity. Azurin, however, was found to have much less activity against brain tumors such as glioblastomas or astrocytomas. Interestingly, we found out that the azurin gene exists in the genome of another pathogen, Neisseria meningitidis, in a slightly bigger size, which encodes an azurin protein with an additional peptide in its N-terminal called an H.8 epitope. Azurin is produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen that cannot cross the blood-brain barrier to infect brain tissues. Neisseria meningitidis, however, is known to cause meningitis in humans by entering the meningeal space in the cerebrospinal axis, causing inflammation of the meninges. To see if the H.8 epitope might allow N. Meningitidis azurin, called LAZ protein, to enter brain tumors and kill such tumors, we have cloned the H.8 epitope gene upstream of the P. aeruginosa azurin gene, called H.8-azurin, and checked the ability of azurin, H.8-azurin, and LAZ protein, to enter glioblastoma and astrocytoma cells and kill them. Indeed, we found that H.8-azurin and LAZ enter brain tumor cells much more efficiently and exert much higher cytotoxicity. Another exciting finding with regard to azurin, H.8 azurin and LAZ is that all three proteins can greatly reduce parasitemia in infected human red blood cells, thus acting as potential antimalarial drugs. There are very few new antimalarial drugs coming to the market and most of the malarial parasites are becoming resistant to the old drugs, thus causing major concerns. Cerebral malaria is a major problem in Asia and Africa where the infected erythrocytes reenter brain capillaries and cause coma and rapid death. The ability of LAZ and H.8 azurin to cross the blood-brain barrier and significantly reduce (~80%) parasitemia in human infected erythrocytes provides potential treatment opportunities for cerebral malaria.

Edie Windsor returns to Temple University for Historic Event
The plaintiff in the Supreme Court Case that brought down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) returns to her alma mater to receive alumni fellowship, a city proclamation and host a documentary screening and question-and-answer session.
PHILADELPHIA (March 12, 2014) – Fêted internationally and honored throughout her adopted hometown of New York, Edie Windsor is coming back to Philadelphia for a historic celebration. She will be receiving an alumni fellowship award from her alma mater, Temple University, before a screening of Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement and a Q-and-A hosted by noted Philadelphia activist Angela Giampolo. Mayor Michael Nutter will also be on hand to recognize Windsor for her contributions to LGBTQ causes including marriage equality.
"I am thrilled to be coming home," Windsor said. "It's an honor to return to Temple for this award and I am looking forward to being back on campus."
The event, which is being held on April 26 as part of Temple's annual Alumni Weekend, will celebrate Windsor's lifetime of civil rights advocacy, her loving relationship with her spouse and her role in bringing down DOMA. It is being hosted by the College of Liberal Arts and the Leonard Mellman Visiting Scholars Program, and is sponsored by alumni and student groups throughout the university. During the program, the Temple University Alumni Association will formally name Windsor an Alumni Fellow.
"Receiving this award from my alma mater in my home town means quite a lot to me," Windsor said.
Her 30 years working as a leader in the LGBT community has already netted Windsor more accolades than she can count, including the ACLU's Roger N. Baldwin Medal of Liberty; the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy Award for Keeping Faith and the New York University President's Medal. This May she will receive an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Johns Hopkins.
Windsor and Dr. Thea Spyer were engaged for 42 years before marrying in Toronto in 2007. Their romance is chronicled in the documentary, Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagment. After Spyer's death in 2009, the estate tax – which would not have been imposed, had Thea been a man – cost Windsor more than $600,000. She filed a federal suit in New York asserting that DOMA treated her marriage unequally compared with heterosexual marriages. The case took her all the way to the Supreme Court, which declared DOMA unconstitutional under the Due Process Clause.
In addition to the alumni fellowship and afternoon celebration, Temple's College of Liberal Arts has established an award fund in Windsor's honor. The Edith Windsor Fund will support LGBT studies within in the college's Women's Studies Program.
"We are delighted to be able to honor Edie this way," said College of Liberal Arts Dean Teresa Soufas. "Her fight has helped to change our world. We are very proud to call Edie our alumna."

UH Manoa Campus Events Calendar
James C. Scott: The First Agrarian StatesFebruary 26, 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Manoa Campus, Bilger Auditorium
By domesticating fire, plants and animals, humankind reshaped the world to its liking. In doing so, humans created the conditions of resource concentration that were the foundation of early sedentism and, much much later, the earliest state-making. Such domestications, in turn, domesticated us, in Norbert Elias's sense of "the civilizing process." Full sedentism was by no means an easy choice. Early intensive agriculture involved greater expenditure of labor for the caloric return than did foraging, and was linked to dietary stress and illness. So, though the late neolithic resettlement camp was the necessary ecological and demographic pre-condition of the early state, it was not good for one's health and leisure.
In this lecture, Professor James C. Scott takes on the civilizational narratives that states hold dear, casting a skeptical eye on the stories we tell ourselves about the histories of agriculture and animal domestication. In the process, he explores the emergence of the state and the compromises that accompanied its ascendance as a political form.
Public reception to follow the talk.
James C. Scott is the Sterling Professor of Political Science and Professor of Anthropology at Yale University. An influential scholar, he is the author of numerous books, including The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Professor Scott directs the Yale Program in Agrarian Studies, and is the former president of the American Association of Asian Studies.
