Our overall experience was positive, however, we would like to share a few items. In general the crew and service was very good. My wife and I did observe that the crew members went through all the right motions but not much enthusiasm was present. We just got a feeling they were tired and not much happiness existed among the crew members. This was quite apparent during the meal service. With a few exceptions, one server especially out-shined all others, and we made written recognition of this server.
Once getting on board we found our cabin to be in need of some deep cleaning and updating. The sofa was stained with who knows what, I have pictures. The drapes are so worn the light passes through in many areas. There are several scrapes and actual depressions on the areas of the walls. The non-skid surface on the balcony is so deteriorated that some trip and fall hazard exists. The balcony railing glass is so stained that it is nearly impossible to see through certain areas, some of the bolts that hold the wood railing are loose and some are missing. In general I believe it is time for a renovation and/or a minimum of a deep cleaning and maintenance campaign. This cabin's location was perfect for access to the buffet, one deck above, or for the dining room 4 decks below. The aft elevators are just a few feet away. We experienced no annoying noise levels or unusual sounds that disturbed our rest. The balconies are not especially private. The barrier which separates one from another is short of the rail allowing one to view the adjoining balcony. This cabin, being the last on deck 11, had only one adjacent cabin.
On two occasions the ship had to alter plans for getting passengers off the ship. Contingent plans may be written but the implementation was poor. Crew members seemed confused which added to delays and in some cases frustrations about connecting with purchased shore excursions. To continue on that vane, on one instance, if you did not have a Norwegian purchased excursion you were not allowed off until those with the Norwegian excursions were ashore, even though you had a shore excursion purchased through an outside vendor. Basically captive until they, the ship's staff, decided all was clear. I made the mistake of raising that issue with one of the crew members, I then received a lengthy lecture about the ships responsibility to it's customers, who was I ? I believe this crew member, about 1/3 my age, was way out of line, I actually had to stop his rant and requested he move away and stop speaking. I guess he just was sick and tired of dealing with us "demented senior citizens." Thank goodness this was an exception.

Dance the Night Away in the ATL
By Kelly Skinner
Atlanta Local Expert
It's a Friday night and your work week was a complete snooze. Did someone say a dance party is in store?
In addition to Atlanta's various hotels, lounges, comedy clubs, restaurants and bars, the city's nightlife scene is also peppered with a smattering of dance clubs.
If you're looking for a place that mixes glamour with a bumping crowd, you need not look further than Midtown, where several of the area's largest, highest-end dance clubs congregate. Dressing for the party is imperative at these places, so look your best, particularly if you're hoping to meet someone single (which you probably will). Reign, Vanquish, Halo and Opera all keep the party hopping and the entry line full.
The beautiful people are regulars in Buckhead at Tongue and Groove and Havana Club. Both are located in prime locations teeming with excellent restaurants. So you can certainly stick around the same area for the evening if you'd like.
Less upscale options can be found in underground dance clubs frequented by young hipsters and an edgier crowd at Poncey Highlands dive, MJQ.
Additional dancing awaits at area restaurants with a rollicking spirit. Buckhead's Taverna Plaka is a Greek dining (and dancing!) experience unlike anything else in Atlanta. Ending dinner by dancing on the table is par for the course.
Taverna Plaka
Gyros with a side of belly dancing? Afraid so. This fun-loving Greek restaurant off of Cheshire Bridge (near high-end Woodfire Grill) caters to a party-going crowd with a love for good Greek food in a raucous atmosphere. Bring a group of friends to eat and you'll be encouraged to get up for the occasional dance train around the room. Throwing napkins in the air is a big thing (do that a lot if you don't know what else to do). And don't be surprised if your server or one of the belly dancers steps onto your table and starts dancing. After dinner, you'll be encouraged to do the same. (4046362284)
East Andrews Neighborhood Bar
This longstanding Buckhead entertainment complex seems to be constantly adding new restaurants and bars to its line-up. Take in the arctic environs and dine on sushi at Czar Bar (where "ice" takes on a whole new cool), imbibe on old-school cocktails at the speakeasy-themed Prohibition, laugh at comedy hopefuls at the Improv Comedy Club, shake your groove thing at Andrews Upstairs and dine on craft burgers at Stillhouse. On top of regular weekend merriment, the complex regularly plays host to a range of special events. Latin Elegance Wednesdays (featuring free salsa lessons) are a weekly affair, and various sports and holiday-themed kick-off parties draw big crowds. Go with a group and make a night out of it. (404-869-1132)
MJQ Concourse
One of the longest running clubs in Atlanta, MJQ Concourse takes the word "underground" to an entirely new level. The club is actually entirely underground. There's no website and most find out about it through a friend. Unassuming to a passerby, you'd never know that the entrance was the gateway to one of the most popular dance clubs in the city. Open late at night, it is just as popular on weeknights as weekends. Patrons here come to enjoy themselves and dance and listen to talented DJs do their thing. Dress is casual and the vibe is far from upscale. Music is wide-ranging and varies according to the night. (404-870-0575)
Halo Lounge
This posh nightclub attracts a young Midtown crowd looking to mix, mingle and cut a rug while in the heart of Midtown. The night club has an expansive signature drink menu, top-notch DJs and two bars. Enjoy the beautiful backlit onyx main bar, which changes color, and sets the easy-going mood. The music is a variety of house, lounge and dance music. The vibe is better late at night, after eleven, which is when it gets busier. Tables can be reserved for large parties. Like others on the list, Atlanta takes going out seriously, so you'll want to bring your "A" game when you dress for the night out. (404-962-7333)
Havana Club
You don't have to leave Atlanta to visit Cuba. This upscale Buckhead venue boasts 15,000 square feet of space and with three distinct rooms, each with its own unique ambiance, each trying to capture the essence of Havana. The largest room, Stage, features a bevy of music varieties and VIP cabanas. If it is a taste of Havana you seek, visit Studio, which features salsa and Mergegue tunes sure to get your feet tapping. Gallery pumps out great tunes but certainly caters to special events like private parties or exhibits. Cigar aficionados will appreciate the cedar-wood humidor stocking rare and exotic cigars. (404-869-8484)
Tongue and Groove
Open for close to two decades, this sophisticated nightspot draws Atlanta's beautiful people looking for a place to tear up the dance floor. The 8,600-square-foot space is located in Buckhead's Lindbergh Center and offers plenty of options for parking. There are two large rooms, one with a balcony overlooking a large dance floor. The good thing about the two separate rooms is the different music: Top 40 in one and house / hip hop in the other. There are also enclaves that can be reserved for ultra-VIP treatment. It is relatively easy to get a drink as there are numerous bars in the club. Take note of the website for various special events and drink specials (404-261-2325)
This is one of the more upscale (read: expensive) clubs in Atlanta and has attractive digs to match. Club-goers arrive later in the evening, closer to midnight, so don't rush to get there. Save your feet and kick back with a leisurely dinner beforehand at one of Midtown's fabulous restaurants before bringing your moves to the dance floor. Bartenders make tasty cocktails and aren't afraid to make 'em strong. There is a large bar with quick service and VIP tables are scattered throughout with a good view of the dance floor. Saturday nights are usually a bit more crowded than Fridays. ((404) 898-1704)
Lava Lounge
One of the trendiest nightclubs in Atlanta, Lava Lounge or CosmoLava, combines two clubs in one: Cosmopolitan bar and Lava Lounge. The two are connected by an outdoor deck. Cosmo is more upscale with dark wood and swanky sofas. Lava has a lava-surfaced bar and a cozy lounge area. The dance floor, located on the lower level, streams the latest house and industrial beats. Other rooms play a wide range of musical genres like '80s or hip-hop. Club-goers lean young and linger by the bar to sip on house cocktails while taking a break from dancing. Service at the bar is quick and bartenders are friendly. (404-873-6189)
Opera Nightclub
There's always a crowd waiting to get into Midtown nightclub, Opera, and with good reason. The place boasts an extensive space for dancing, drinking and debauchery. An enormous dance floor beneath a spectacular 100-foot domed ceiling is where revelers get down. Many of the tables here must be reserved and can get pricey. This trendy nightclub doesn't end the luxury there but also boasts a lavish outdoor pool and lounge area. Themed nights and regularly visiting DJs and ladies nights add extra incentive to visit. Avoid crazy long lines and sign up for the rsvp list online before heading out. (404-874-3006)

Burglary suspect caught by police
Man was hiding in Santa Barbara park
POSTED: 07:24 PM PDT May 08, 2013 UPDATED: 02:29 PM PDT May 09, 2013
A man with a stolen bicycle was found in the bushes by Stevens park in Santa Barbara. It took several police officers to surround the suspect and make an arrest.
A police spokesman says the suspect, 20-year old Jordan Wrench should have been in a recovery home, but instead found his way back to his old neighborhood.
Investigators say the bike came from the home belonging to Jordan's parents but he was not authorized to be there.
Jordan was taken away in a patrol car on San Roque Road about 1:30 p.m.

Do you realize that out of every five children in the United States, one is overweight? For example, in an average school class of 20 children, four children weigh more than they should. Over the last two decades, the number has increased by more than 50 percent; the number of extremely overweight children has nearly doubled.
Children become overweight for a variety of reasons. The most common causes are genetic factors, lack of physical exercise, unhealthy eating patterns or a combination of these factors. In rare cases, a medical problem may cause a child to be overweight.
Children whose parents or siblings are overweight may be at increased risk of becoming overweight themselves. Genetic factors play a role in increasing the likelihood that a child will be overweight, but shared family behaviors, such as eating and activity, also influence body weight.
Video or computer games and TV viewing are sedentary activities. Studies indicate that children who are the most sedentary also are the heaviest children.
Our society also promotes hefty portions of high fat and high sugar. If you frequent many fast food restaurants, you're encouraged to "jumbo-size" or "super-size" items to win prizes. As parents know, children want to win prizes. Therefore, many children do not see appropriate serving sizes. Also, many parents serve larger portions to small children and encourage them to "clean your plate." This leads to overeating.
Healthy eating habits and regular exercise are the most efficient and healthy ways to control your child's weight. Here are some hints to help promote a healthy lifestyle:
Be a role model. If your child sees that you eat healthy foods and are physically active, they are more likely to do the same.
Reduce the amount of time you and your family spend in sedentary activities.
Schedule a walk or bike ride with your family after dinner.
Offer a wide variety of foods from each food group. Foods that provide few nutrients and that are high in fat and/or sugar should be used sparingly. Examples of foods or drinks that are high in sugar and/or fat are soda drinks, cookies, pies, cakes, snack chips or snack crackers. Good substitutes for these items include raw fruits, vegetables, pretzels, low-fat chips and crackers, and bread products.
Look on food labels for proper portion sizes. Teach your children to do the same.
If you and your children follow these hints, you're more likely to win the best prize: a longer, healthier life together.

Now, let's talk about changing the font face of text in {italic}Dreamweaver. {plain}Now, when most people talk about fonts, they usually are in actuality referring to the font face. Meaning, whether something appears in Times, or Verdana, or Arial, or anything like that, you're actually talking about the font face. But, saying the word font is sort of become an abbreviation for that. Now, we have worked with fonts a little bit up to this point. For instance, if I click in here, you can see down here, this is set to the Verdana, Ariel, Helvetica, sans-serif font set. You might have noticed that instead of listing single fonts here, everything is broken into lists or sets here.
Normally in a Word Processor, you have access to all the fonts installed on your computer, which can range from dozens of fonts to even hundreds of fonts. But, the difference between working with fonts in a Word Processor, and working with fonts in {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} is that in a Word Processor, your ultimate goal is to usually print the document out. So, when you send the file to a printer connected to your computer, the printer can access the fonts you used, and print everything the way specified. But, when you're working with web pages, you have to choose fonts are likely to be installed on the computer of the person viewing your page, and as you can imagine, this significantly shortens the list of fonts you can potential use. You're not going to be able to select some obscure font that you found on a disk somewhere, or downloaded from somewhere. You're going to be limited to choosing more common fonts that most people are going to have installed on their computers, like the ones found in these lists here. I'm going to go ahead and open up the file "fontlists.html". This is a list that includes all the different fonts that's available by default in {italic}Dreamweaver.{plain} And, these are all fonts that should appear on most people's computers. Changing the font face of some text is a simple matter of the selecting it, and coming down here, and choosing a different font.
Just like you do in regular Word Processors. You'll notice for each of these fonts here, if I switch over to Code view, {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} has actually created styles for each of those. So, if I reuse these fonts on other parts of texts, instead of having to write font tags on all the text. It actually would just have to apply the class style to any text that I change into these particular fonts, but the important thing to remember here is when you select a font face for your text, you're not choosing a single font, you're choosing a set of fonts. Each of {italic}Dreamweaver's{plain} Font lists contain at least one font face that should be installed on either the Mac, or Windows operating systems.
For instance, the Verdana set. Any machine running a Microsoft product, like Windows itself, should have Verdana installed unless someone purposely removed it. If you're running Microsoft Office on your Mac, you also have Verdana. Verdana is a good san-serif font to choose. In fact, Verdana was intentionally designed to look good on a computer screen, unlike say Helvetica, which was originally designed to look good when printed on paper. So, you're pretty limited in terms of fonts that you selected here. Basically, the way this works is, if you specify the Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif set, when this page is brought up in the user's browser, it's going to look for the font Verdana on that uses computer. If it doesn't find it, it's going to look for Arial.
Not finding that, it will Helvetica. If it doesn't find any of those three fonts, it's going to just default to the first sans-serif font it finds. Sans-serif being without serifs, and serifs are those little flourishes and decorations you see on the strokes of letters, so Georgia, Times New Roman, Times are serif fonts, while Arial, Helvetica, and Verdana are sans-serif fonts. So, again, you're pretty limited in terms of the fonts you can use. Now, if you really want to specify a font other than what's listed in {italic}Dreamweaver,{plain} you do have the ability to create your own Font lists. For instance, maybe your company has a particular font for its logo, and the site you're building is only going to be viewed by people on company computers, and you know they all have that particular font installed.
You can then create your own font set by going to the Font menu, and at the bottom here you can choose Edit Font list. Up here at the top, you see all of your current Font lists, and over here on the right hand side, under Available fonts, this is where you find every single font that's installed on your computer. Now, we don't actually have a Tahoma, Verdana, Arial Helvetica, sans-serif Font list, but I could easily create that by scrolling through here, and here I can find Tahoma, and to create a new Font list here, I'll just click the little left arrow here. Noticed that automatically starts generating a new set for me here.
The next one in the list is Verdana. I can actually come down here, and type in "verdana". It finds that. That actually should have been capitalized, so let's make a capital "V" there, and we'll get rid of that other one. The next one is Arial. We'll go ahead and typing in "Arial". Next is Helvetica. Now, you should always provide a generic font type as the last item in your Font list. If users don't have any of the fonts that you've specified, they'll at least see a font of the type you're after. If you scroll down to the bottom of list here, you'll find all the valid generic types: cursive, fantasy, monospace, sans-serif, and serif. In this case, these should all be sans-serif fonts.
So, I'm going to select sans-serif, add that, and there it is. Unfortunately, there's really no way to take these fonts, and change their order once you set up the list without just removing everything and starting over. You want to make sure you plan at the order in which you're going to add these fonts, or else you're just going to start over again. Once I'm happy with my Font list, I can click on OK. Now, if I come in here, and select this text, I'll find that I now have this Tahoma, Verdana set in here. Click on that, and that Font list has now been applied to my selected text. So, that's a little bit about how to change the font face of text in {italic}Dreamweaver.{plain} Again, what you see here on my screen might be different in other peoples browsers, because they might have different fonts installed on their computers than I do here, or that you have on your own computer. So, the second, third, or even fourth font on the list might be the one displayed, instead of the first one. So, just be aware that setting the font face of text on your web page doesn't guarantee that users will see that font face when they bring the page up in their own browsers.
Now, go ahead and Save font list. And we'll move on to the next movie.

The Museology Graduate Program is pleased to announce that Dylan High ('13) has received the University of Washington's Graduate School Distinguished Thesis Award.
Each year, this prestigious award recognizes outstanding and exceptional research and scholarship at the master's level by a graduate student at the University of Washington.
In his thesis, Ethnic Identity Formation in Adolescence: Impact of Teen Programs in Museums, Dylan has provided a deeper understanding of the opportunities for community impact through museum programming. Examining programs that facilitate the development of ethnic identity among teenagers at three museums in the United States, Dylan has shown how museums and other informal learning venues can increase an understanding of cultural heritage and community involvement among adolescents.
Dylan's work was supported by his Supervisory Committee including chair Dr. Kristine Morrissey, Director, Museology Graduate Program, Dr. James A Banks, Killinger Endowed Chair and Director, Center for Multicultural Education, and Dr. Lizette Gradén, Chief Curator at the Nordic Heritage Museum and Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Scandinavian Studies.

Your perspective on life could seem wider today, which may be because you have come across new ideas and ways of thinking that have expanded your worldview. It might appear as if you have been liberated from the limiting beliefs you previously held and that now you are open to a world that offers you so much more. Being receptive to everything you encounter today can help you continue to create this sense of wonder and expansiveness. Perhaps you might want to delve into a new ideology or belief system—something that has interested you in the past but that you haven't had time to explore—or go to a meditation group that you have been meaning to attend. Finding some way to try something new could not only bring new ideas but also better ways of existing into your life.
Opening ourselves up to something new allows us to break the barriers we often put up around us and instead enter into an unexplored and remarkable world. If we limit ourselves to the thoughts, beliefs, and ideas that we have become comfortable with, then we are not truly being aware of the wealth that exists in our world. Learning something new challenges us to see ourselves in a different way and can ultimately lead to a deeper personal transformation of our lives. Expose yourself to something new and wonderful today, and a new and exciting world will unfold before you.

The Epoch™ Multi-Volume Spectrophotometer System from BioTek Instruments was used for all absorbance measurements. The Take3™ plate accessory, which is included in the system, was used for all microvolume and 1 cm pathlength absorbance measurements.
The Take3 plate has a standard SBS footprint and 16 microspots arranged as columns akin to those of a 96-well microplate. Samples of 2–5 µL may be pipetted into individual microspots, or a multichannel pipette may be used to load eight samples or blanks simultaneously, allowing both to be run at the same time.
The Take3 plate can also accommodate two BioCells and one standard spectrophotometric cuvette. BioCell (also from BioTek) is a 1 cm pathlength vessel that requires less sample volume than a standard 3 mL cuvette. All 1 cm pathlength measurements were made with BioCell.
Herring sperm DNA, BCA kit, bovine serum albumin, and all buffer salts were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. The Vybrant® MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit was from Invitrogen, part of Life Technologies. Primary mesothelioma cells and thiostrepton were gifts from Professor Nick Heinz at University of Vermont. Standard, black polystyrene 96-well microplates used in the cytotoxicity assay were from Corning.
Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) standards were created by serial dilution of a concentrated herring sperm DNA stock in TE buffer (10 mm TRIS, 1 mm EDTA, pH=7.0). Take3 microvolume data was obtained with undiluted standard samples. BioCell data was acquired using either undiluted or, for higher concentration samples, a 20-fold dilution of standard in TE buffer. All sample measurements at 260 nm were background corrected using a TE buffer blank at 320 nm. All concentrations depicted are based on a 1 cm pathlength and 50 ng/µL OD.
A method was developed to allow in situ analysis directly on the Take3 plate microspots. Briefly, the BCA assay was made by adding 2 µL protein standards and samples, followed by 2 µL BCA working reagent directly onto the microspots.
Protein standards and samples in duplicate were added with a single channel pipette followed by addition of BCA working reagent using a multichannel pipette with mixing. Incubations were performed at room temperature for 25 minutes. Curve fits used quadratic functions as recommended by kit protocols. All BCA assay measurements were made at 562 nm and blank corrected. The blank was composed of a 1:1 volume ratio of BCA working reagent and de-ionized water.
Primary human mesothelioma cells were seeded at 20,000 cells per well in 200 µL of DMEM/F12 media supplemented with 10% FBS, and were incubated overnight at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 environment. The cells were then treated with thiostrepton, a polypeptide antibiotic, at concentrations ranging from 20–0.0195 µM with eight replicates per concentration and incubated for an additional 24 hours. MTT reagent was then added, and absorbance was read at 570 nm. All absorbance measurements were blank corrected where the blank consisted of media and MTT reagent.

Television hasn't been the same since Brian's Song broke everyone's heart and an unofficial taboo against downer plots; the nets can't stop making "life-affirming" dramas about crippling accidents and fatal diseases.

Rise of the Cyclotron
Mar 5, 2012|
A nondescript factory in Richmond founded by Old World craftsmen has become the global go-to place for isotope-producing cyclotrons.
Abutting the Fraser River in Richmond, on a five-hectare site that is home to Ebco Industries Ltd., stands an unadorned, prefabricated building. Inside the immaculate space is a collection of what appear to be giant Lego blocks painted a deep topaz blue, with gleaming copper interiors and tails of snaking cables. A milling crowd, munching catered canapés and sipping coffee, contemplates these metal cubes like aesthetes at an art exhibit. The cerebral gathering includes physicists, nuclear-medicine physicians and researchers and elegantly dressed Asian businessmen here to write a multi-million dollar cheque for one of these blue boxes.
The metal boxes are cyclotrons, and their prosaic structure, about the size of an SUV sans wheels, belies the key role they play in the rapidly advancing field of nuclear medicine. Equally incongruous are the two men behind their construction: family patriarch Helmut Eppich and son Richard Eppich are very approachable and perfectly ordinary in appearance. Richard is CEO of Ebco and its sister company, Advanced Cyclotron Systems Inc. (ACSI), which manufactures the cyclotrons. Helmut, who bequeathed leadership of both companies to his son in 2009, chairs both entities. Helmut and Richard are highly regarded by visitors at this open house, many of whom consider ACSI to be the world's top manufacturer of cyclotrons, surpassing its three global competitors: health-care titans and cyclotron manufacturers General Electric Co., Siemens Global of Germany and IBA Group of Belgium.
The science of a cyclotron
Founding Fathers: Helmut Eppich (left), Stefan
Burger (centre) and Hugo Eppich.
If the word "cyclotron" sounds like it was appropriated from a science fiction novel, that might be justified by the fact that these devices accelerate subatomic particles to velocities approaching the speed of light. Invented in the 1930s, cyclotrons have undergone a renaissance within medicine for two key reasons. First, cyclotrons like the ones ACSI makes are capable of producing technetium-99m, a radioactive, silvery metal. Falling under the category of elements known as isotopes, the metal remains significantly radioactive for just a few hours. During that time, small amounts can be safely injected into the human body, where it gives off radiation that provides an unparalleled look at the body's innermost workings. Doctors use handy acronyms to describe the sophisticated detectors that generate these images, which include PET (positron emission tomography) and SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography). The dynamics are complex, but the bottom line is that nothing gives a clearer, more detailed picture for diagnosing challenging medical conditions such as cancer or heart disease than technetium-99m.
Secondly, as ungainly as a cyclotron might appear, it is much more compact – not to mention cheaper and safer – than a nuclear reactor. Yet reactors are a source of most of the technetium-99m used in an estimated 20 million scans performed around the world annually, according to global health science company Nordion Inc.
In recent years the world has been relying on one reactor for almost half of that global supply. The National Research Universal (NRU) facility is located at Chalk River, Ontario, a few hours west of Ottawa. It uses weapons-grade uranium to create another isotope, called molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), which decays into technetium-99m at laboratories and hospitals, just before it is injected into a patient. Just two years ago, NRU was producing from 80-85 per cent of Canada's supply of Mo-99 and about 40 per cent of the world's supply, according to Natural Resources Canada.
An elaborate isotope manufacturing and distribution system has been in place for decades, but the Chalk River reactor, which became operational in 1945, is limping into retirement and set to be mothballed in 2016. Structural problems and leaking caused shutdowns from 2007 to 2009. In 2009, a three-month closure occurred when only one of the world's other four reactors was producing isotopes, resulting in a worldwide technetium-99m shortage.
Ebco Industries and ACSI today.
The vulnerability of reactors was also highlighted last year when an earthquake and tsunami disabled Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant on March 11, crippling four of its six reactors and creating radiation leaks that are still not repaired. Finally, one other factor has the research and medical communities searching for an alternative to nuclear reactors. While chasing down stolen weapons-grade uranium of the kind produced by nuclear reactors is a staple of such fictional thrillers as television's 24, the non-fictional nuclear family quietly harbours fears that such a plot is in the realm of possibility.
For ACSI, concerns about traditional sources of isotopes have presented unprecedented opportunity. Back in 2009, Richard and Helmut contemplated technetium-99m shortages and realized there was a business opportunity just waiting to be seized. Over the next two years, ACSI shifted into high gear, ramping up production from a few cyclotrons a year to nearly a dozen. ACSI also trademarked the technetium-99m its cyclotrons produce, calling it CycloTec. In 2011, ACSI sold 11 cyclotrons at a cost of between $2 million and $10 million each, depending on their technetium-99m producing capacity. (The cyclotrons' names: TR 13, TR 19, TR 24 and TR 30, identify their available power for accelerating particles.) ACSI has now cornered nearly half of the global cyclotron market. Currently, says Richard, ACSI is booked well into 2013, with orders from Japan, France, Germany, the U.S. and Canada. At the time of writing, just three months into the current fiscal year, 75 per cent of both ACSI's and Ebco's sales targets were already achieved, Richard says. (Ebco manufactures three-tonne magnets and vacuum chambers for ACSI cyclotrons.) The biggest problem now is one every business would love to have: its 27,900 square metres of manufacturing floor space is filled to capacity with workers toiling to ensure that orders are met, says Richard. Ebco is also considering starting an in-house program to train welders and fitters to the level required to build its high-tech machinery, as the trades schools in B.C. currently aren't meeting the company's requirements, he adds.

A broad-spectrum preemergence herbicide for use in Christmas Tree Plantations, Non-Bearing Fruit and Nut Trees, Non-Bearing Vineyards, Non-Cropland, and Ornamentals (container and field grown, groundcovers/perennials, and landscape) for control of certain broadleaf weeds and annual grasses.
INSTRUCTIONS for specific directions on spreaders and settings.
Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G controls weeds growing from seeds. The active ingredients are absorbed through unemerged plant shoots and inhibit cell wall growth. They are not mobile within the plant. Selected broadleaf weeds and annual grasses are killed before they emerge. Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G does not control weeds already established or those growing from stolons, rhizomes, or root pieces. Length of control varies with the rate of Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G applied, weed infestion, temperature, amount of water applied, soil conditions, or type of potting media, among other factors. Additional applications of Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G may be needed to provide residual control over time.
Apply Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G immediately after cultivation or prior to germination of target weeds in landscape ornamentals, container and field-grown ornamentals, nursery stock, Christmas trees, ground covers/perennials, non-bearing fruit and nut trees, non-bearing vineyards, and non-cropland areas. Apply Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G at 100 to 200 lbs per acre (2.3 to 4.6 lbs per 1000 sq ft). After application, observe the level of weed control obtained over time and decide if additional applications are needed for control. Do not make applications of 150 lbs per acre or higher prior to 60 days after a previous application of Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G. The maximum application rate per acre for Quali-Pro T/I 2.5 G within a 12-month period is 600 lbs. The weight-to-volume conversion table below provides equivalent amounts
Active Ingredients: Trifluralin: a,a,a-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine. Isoxaben: N-[3-(1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl)-5-isoxazolyI]-2,6-dimethoxybenzamide and isomers

We survey the recent literature on corporate diversification. How does corporate diversification influence firm value? Does it create or destroy value? While, until the beginning of this century, the predominant thinking among researchers and practitioners was that corporate diversification leads to an average discount on firm value, several studies cast doubt on the diversification discount. In the last decade, there has been no clear consensus of whether there is a discount or even a premium on firm value. However, the recent literature concludes that the effect on value differs from firm to firm, and that corporate diversification alone does not drive the discount or premium. Rather, the effect is heterogeneous across certain industry settings, economic conditions, and governance structures.

While reading through the archives, I read a message that asked for
assistance in getting squid to go through a satellite proxy/cache server. I
happen to have set up a squid cache for a Starband subscriber. The key
entries in squid.conf are as follows:
cache_peer 192.168.0.1 parent 9877 0 no-query default
never_direct allow all
The address should be changed to whatever machine is running the Starband
software, and the port 9877 is standard for Starband's web page accelerator
proxy (in fact, each time the software is reset, it forces the IE http proxy
settings to 127.0.0.1 on that particular machine which necessitates the
following paragraphs!)
In addition to the squid.conf file changes, I created a proxy.pac that uses
fall-back mechanisms to try DIRECT in case the squid machine or the WPA
dies. It reads as follows:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.255.0"))
return "DIRECT";
return "PROXY squid.machine.address:3128; PROXY
starband.machine.address:9877; DIRECT";
Hope this helps. I found the Squid Docs and FAQ very informative and useful.
Thanks for all the help, and I hope I can return the favor at times.

Opa!Dawn Meehan
I'm a single mom of six children which means the only time I get to leave the house is when I'm watching one of the kids' hockey, baseball, softball, or football games. Or when I'm running them to the store at 9:00 at night to get posterboard for a project they've had three weeks to complete and is due in the morning. Or when I'm going to the grocery store because we're out of food despite the fact that I went shopping two days ago. (For some reason, my kids like to eat. Every day.) Or when I'm taking one of them to the ER because he thinks he's Tony Hawk every time he gets on his skateboard. (He's not.) Or when I'm picking them up from school. Or when I'm driving them to the mall or the movies or a friend's house. Or when I'm simply hiding out in my van on the driveway, scarfing down chocolate so I don't have to share it with them.
Don't you hate getting caught eating chocolate?
"What are you eating, Mom?"
"Yes, you are. What do you have?"
"It's a fiber bar. It's yucky. It's diet food. You wouldn't like it. It tastes like onions."
"Why does it smell like chocolate, Mom?"
The quick change of topic almost always saves the day. Keep that in mind.
Anyway, I very rarely get to go out by myself for any reason so it was a huge treat this weekend when my sister took me out to dinner for my birthday. We went to a Greek restaurant where I had a great time! I randomly called out names in an attempt to get the attention of our waiter. "Gus, Peter, Bill, Dimitri, Spiros. . ." When I got to "Nick", half the restaurant turned around. At one point, belly dancers came out and gyrated around the tables. I threatened to suggested we join the dancers. I snapped random pictures during dinner, but in my defense, I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I mean look at it!
A strategically placed Elmo is gawking at the belly dancer. Now how often do you see something like that?
My sister may never set foot in public with me again. But I say, when your outings are few and far between, you need to make the most of each one!

An Introduction to Programming and Objected-Oriented Design
Johannes de Jong
Posts: 5089
posted 15 years ago
It's not often a book causes me to reminisce about my journey to become a Professional Programmer. During those youthful days I would read any programming books I could get my grubby little fingers on. Most were beyond my comprehension; while others were not worth the paper they were printed on. And then there were those books that made everything just so simple that it was hard not to understand the subject matter.
"An Introduction to Programming and Objected Oriented Design using Java" falls neatly into this third category. If you've been programming for several years, this book may bore you, because it starts out assuming that the reader has very little knowledge for the art/science of programming. It then gradually introduces each programming concept in a well thought out process. I've always been a proponent of the ideal that if you want to be a programmer, you have to practice programming. It is a skill that can be acquired and only improves with practice. I'm glad to see that the authors also believe in this
and have added numerous exercises at the end of each chapter.
Personally, I enjoyed reading this book and reviewing some of the basic principles of programming. I believe all aspiring professional programmers
first establish a strong foundation on some of the basic principles of programming. In many ways, this book will help you lay that first brick.

Students from Hernando High School's project Looking Ahead helped city staffers plant two cypress trees to celebrate Arbor Day.
The trees were planted Friday along the Good Neighbor Trail, at the intersection of South Brooksville Avenue and Russell Street.
The 25th annual celebration, hosted by the City of Brooksville's Beautification Board, also commemorated Brooksville's 20th year as a Tree City USA.
In addition to the yearly poster contest, Beautification Board Chairman Scott Renz planned burlap sack races, cornhole and other activities for students.
Beautification Board member Melissa Hemstreet gave a talk about Florida's native trees, and Hernando County Forester Justin Draft was on hand to answer questions and pass out young longleaf pines for re-planting.
First place in the fourth annual poster contest was awarded to Amber Hodge. D.J. Escoffery took second place, and Jennifer Taylor won third place. Honorable mentions were awarded to Kendal Chase and Jeffrey Carver.
Many city staff members attended the event, as well as elected officials.

This course discusses the various types of dental radiographs commonly used in dentistry, including bitewing, full-mouth series, panoramic, and periapical radiographs, as well as safety procedures used while taking radiographs and the importance of building relationships with dental laboratories.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to do the following:
Radiographs, or x-rays, are an important diagnostic tool in dentistry. They can help the dentist detect dental problems that are not visible during a clinical exam. Several types of radiographs commonly used include bitewing, full-mouth series, panoramic, and periapical. Dental assistants must wear personal protective equipment during all radiographic procedures to ensure safety. This course describes several ways to minimize exposure during radiographic procedures. It also discusses the purpose of several intraoral procedures, including periapical, bitewing, and occlusal radiographs. This course describes radiograph surveys for: dentulous and edentulous adults, and children with primary and mixed dentition. Procedures are described for mixing amalgam, cements, and impression materials. It's very important to work well with dental laboratories. Several guidelines are offered for fostering long-term relationships with dental laboratories. Common laboratory equipment is defined.

I lost all my energy and work hours go by so slow. I have no spirit left in me. I feel like breaking down and crying. My back hurts,i have headaches, i cant sit for long, i get lots of braxton hicks in the mornings when am more busy, and work i work with demanding elderly people who thinks that if they dont drink their water on time the world will end. Aahhh! (I know someone get me some cheese to go with my wine)
So, how are all of you ladies holding up? I cant be the only one that feels this way at work. Sorry i had to wine about it, but i feel like i wont be able to make it his few weeks left of work.

A 71-year-old Los Gatos man is dead after a collision between the motorcycle he was on and a 2005 Ford F250 truck.
It happened on Granite Creek Road Wednesday afternoon, closing the area between Lauren Circle and Branciforte Drive until just after 3 p.m.
California Highway Patrol says the Ford was headed northbound and the motorcycle was headed south when one of them crossed the double yellow line, causing the collision.
The motorcyclist was thrown 15 feet down an embankment and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Ford was a 43-year-old man from Santa Cruz, who was driving alone and was uninjured. He's cooperating with police.
The cause is under investigation.

A period of transition in which traditional society began to break down, followed the period of consensus. There was less deference towards institutions such as the monarchy, the church and politicians. In the late 1960s Labour and the Conservatives were actively attempting to show the voters they were very different.
Did developments in the National Health Service (NHS) reflect the changes, or was it all an oasis of cross-party co-operation? Study how the NHS is closely linked with the politics of the 1960s and 1970s.

IMAGINE riding a roller coaster while blindfolded - chugging forward, picking up speed, not knowing what twists and turns await around the bend.
That, in so many words, is what life has been like in recent years at the Daily News, the Inquirer and Philly.com.
The media company has changed hands five times, survived bankruptcy and endured an ugly court battle pitting two factions of owners against one another.
But now, the chaos is over, according to philanthropist H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest, who yesterday officially became the sole owner of the city's two newspapers and their websites.
Lenfest, 84, bought out Drew Katz's shares of the papers' parent company, Interstate General Media, for an undisclosed sum.

The City of Williamsport formed a "sister city" alliance with Maale Adumim, an Israeli city in the West Bank about five miles from Jerusalem, Wednesday after Maale Adumim Mayor Benny Kashriel toured Williamsport with Mayor Gabriel J. Campana.
Campana said the tour included stops at Susquehanna Health, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Lycoming College and Williamsport Area High School.
"We want to develop a friendship ... and start some positive dialogue," Campana said.
Campana hopes to open discussions with Maale Adumim on education and economic development, he said. Kashriel is responsible for the educational system in Maale Adumim and both mayors expressed interest in sending students to visit their sister city.
"We will do whatever we can to strengthen our economy in this city," Campana said. "I believe we can really learn from embracing our differences."
Rabbi Shaul Rappeport, of Williamsport's Ohev Sholom Synagogue, said Campana had shown great enthusiasm in initiating a relationship with Maale Adumim.
"I couldn't have found a more receptive and supportive person than our mayor," he said.
Maale Adumim's history makes it a particularly appropriate area for the sister city agreement, as it is the site of important moments both in Jewish and Christian history. Rappeport said he hopes the brotherhood between the Jewish and Christian faiths will be strengthened by the agreement. Male Adumim is described in the book of Joshua as the border between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. It also is the site of the story of the "Good Samaritan" parable from the New Testament book of Luke.
Rappeport said American support is important for Maale Adumim during a time of pressure from the international community. Land in the West Bank is claimed by Palestinians for future settlement and Maale Adumim's settlement is considered illegal under international law, a judgment disputed by Israel.
"It is wonderful that we've been able, as a city, to step up and show our support," Rappeport said.
Rappeport said he prays for God to bless the agreement between cities.
"Really, the sky is the limit," he said. "We look forward to years of fruitful exchanges."
Kashriel, who is known as "Mayor Benny" in Maale Adumim, spoke of an exchange of ideas he hopes to see between the cities.
"We now find that Williamsport and Maale Adumim have a lot in common," he said. "And we can support each other. I think the agreement ... will strengthen both cities."
Kashriel noted that while Maale Adumim has a rich history, it only was established in 1976.
"We just took a piece of desert, emptied it and built a city there," he said.
The city has many projects under way, including a music conservatory. It has quickly grown to accommodate 30,000 residents.
Kashriel said he enjoyed his visit to Williamsport and hopes to see Campana in Maale Adumim soon.
"We want the people of Williamsport to come visit us and be our guests," he said.
Campana presented Kashriel with a key to the city, and Kashriel presented Campana with a medal.
Campana said the agreement will be on the next city council agenda as an official resolution, and a copy will be placed in the city hall entrance way.

The IMF Provides Risk Scenarios for China
The International Monetary Fund's forecasts for China's economy are among the more optimistic available. In a report published Wednesday the group predicts that gross domestic product, which grew 7.6% on year in the first half, will rebound in the next six months as export demand picks up and lending earlier in the year feeds through into the real economy.
That would yield growth of 7.75% for the whole year, but the IMF envisages a number of contingencies that might push that down. We summarize its "risk matrix."

So, back in the relegation zone after a mere seven days out of it. In the end it was a comfortable win for Sunderland after a blitz of a comeback.
What a difference a week makes. From the excruciating loss against Chelsea and being mired in the depths of the relegation zone to Saturday's magnificent win over Blackpool and into the lofty heights of 17th place. It's magical stuff.
I guess not many of us were expecting too much from the Chelsea game, but like anything hard to take, it's still not nice to see the final conclusion take it's inevitable shape. So the facts are these - bottom of the league, two points from safety and six game left to play. It isn't over yet....

KALAMAZOO -- Two new Asian stores have sprouted up this year in Kalamazoo, offering a taste of culture from faraway places.
Sari Sari Asian Store on Gull Road, open for about seven months, and Pacific Rim Foods, which held its grand opening Nov. 15 in Oakwood Plaza, gives fans of Asian food options when it comes to shopping.
Yet, hidden beneath the hoopla and excitement for the new establishments, the oldest Asian store in Kalamazoo is struggling to survive.
Kim's Oriental Store has sat on 3627 S. Westnedge Ave. for more than 16 years with current owner Okcha Kim presiding for the past 14 years. But with the way business is going, Kim may be forced to leave.
"I try and say to myself that, 'Yes, I'm having a hard time. But so is everyone else,'" Kim said.
Kim said her worries grew when she learned about the new stores, especially Pacific Rim Foods, which is located closer to her store.
"It's just something I have to accept; they have to make money too," Kim said wistfully. "I just have to live my life and do the same thing. It can be hard to accept but when you accept it, you can have peace in your heart."
Profits have been steadily declining for Kim, but this year business has been slower than ever. It's a make-or-break year for Kim's store.
Profits are down by half from a year ago and the winter months have always shown to be an especially slow time.
Regardless, the monthly bills still pour in: $1,400 for the mortgage; more than $600 in property taxes; around $200 for insurance; between $700 and $900 for utilities; and $8,000 to $10,000 for merchandise from Chicago to stock the store.
Since she moved from the Philippines to Kalamazoo in 1994, Zenny Evans has been shopping at Kim's Oriental Store.
"This store is very important to us," Evans said. "We don't eat just any rice or use just any soy sauce, we like authentic items."
Evans said she has formed a relationship with Kim.
"Sometimes she'll give me free stuff," Evans said. "She really takes care of her customers. It's just that personal touch."
While all three stores carry food from all across the Asian continent, each favors a specific country.
Kim's Oriental Store is filled with items from all over Asia, notably from countries such as Korea, Japan, Thailand and the Philippines. About 60 percent of the items come from Kim's native Korea.
Sari Sari Asian Store owner Manuel Baudisda insists that his is the only Filipino store in town and that while he carries items from numerous Asian countries, his specialty is Filipino items. He said his signature item is an ice cream dessert, halo-halo, which is flown in from the Philippines.
Baudisda noted that he is not immune to the economy, saying he is feeling the pinch.
"It's been kind of slow, not many customers. But it is only temporary. I'm not scared," Baudisda said.
Pacific Rim Foods store owner Xin Wang said she is optimistic about her prospects in Kalamazoo despite the economy, saying she's had a steady group of customers since she opened her doors last month.
"Even though Michigan's economy is bad, Kalamazoo is a special place," Wang said. "I have been thinking of opening a store for a long time and I wanted to do it now."
Wang said that while perhaps 30 percent of her items in the store are Chinese, she prides herself on having a wide selection from different Asian countries.
"The other stores are more concentrated. I wanted to have a good mix," Wang said. "I purposefully chose a bigger place so that I could carry more items from more countries."
With the economy poor and unemployment high, Kim doesn't see many options for herself should she have to close her business.
"I don't want to give up," Kim said. "At my age, I am too old for factory work or to be a waitress."
Kim said she hoped to pass on the business to her son, Kyung-Il Lee, who lives in Kalamazoo. While Lee has different plans, he appreciates what his mother does.
"It's amazing my mom runs a business by herself with little more than a middle-school education, limited English and a different perspective in culture," Lee said. "So many things could have held her back and, despite the hardships, she's thrived and survived."

His stage name may be bold, but it's all part of John Legend's plan. "I want to measure myself against the greatest," the 26-year-old singer born John Stephens explains. "I felt like my name was just another part of my aspiration to do this as well as possible." So far, so good. Since releasing his major-label debut Get Lifted late last year, Legend has scored platinum sales thanks to the hits "Used to Love U" and "Ordinary People." He also gave a rousing Grammy performance and has an upcoming TV concert (airing Sunday, 7 p.m., on the Oxygen Network).
Legend, who's been compared to Stevie Wonder (whom he played on a recent episode of NBC's American Dreams), teamed with rapper-producer Kanye West to cowrite several songs on Lifted. (The pair met in 2001 when Legend roomed with West's cousin at the University of Pennsylvania.) He has also collaborated with Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z and Britney Spears, and is the opening act for Alicia Keys's current U.S. tour. Legend, who'll be headlining his own tour of the States, Europe, Australia and Japan later this spring, spoke to PEOPLE about perseverance, his family and why he's playing the field.
It's been a whirlwind few months for you.
This has been really fun. It's a little grueling as far as the time and the demands on your body but, man, what more can I ask for? The acclaim, the commercial success, the opportunity to tour with Alicia. Everything that's been going on, we couldn't have scripted it much better than this.
And now you have your first televised concert special.
I love performing live, and the opportunity to show it to the whole world in kind of a club setting is really cool. The custom-concert idea is cool because the fans get to pick which songs they see.
How was it giving control to the fans?
I trust them. We do it for them anyway. I'll let them decide this time.

Calling its 2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition "the large SUV of choice among luxury customers", General Motors tries to make the huge SUV a tougher competition for the gorgeous 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450.
2008 Cadillac BLS Wagon FFV works on E85 bioethanol
Set to reach dealerships in the Q4 2007, the 2008 Cadillac BLS Wagon -actually, the first wagon in the marquee's long and glorious history- will be available with a choice of six engines, including a 2.0-liter 200hp flex-fuel motor.
2008 Cadillac STS
Cadillac is making final preparations to unveil its facelifted 2008 Cadillac STS luxury performance sedan. Still built on the GM Sigma platform, the refreshed vehicle is offered as a rear-wheel drive (RWD) model, but a decent full-wheel drive transmission can also be ordered as a not terribly overpriced option.
2007 Cadillac BLS Wagon
General Motors is expanding its presence on the European market with new station wagon based on the current Cadillac BLS compact sedan. Looking a tad like a hearse thanks to its high roof, which is further emphasized by a pair of chromed railings, the vehicle will clearly scare away an older couple looking for a new estate and I highly doubt that the European use will like it, too.
2008 Cadillac CTS diesel
The diesel-powered 2008 Cadillac CTS mid-size luxury car will soon arrive to the European market. Built on their new GM Sigma II platform, the second-generation CTS looks even more energetic than the previous version, although its slightly shorter wheelbase will probably make its interior not as roomy as that on the first incarnation of the car.

LORETTO - The longest-running musical worldwide - "The Fantasticks" - is making its return to Cresson Lake Playhouse.
The show, which recently celebrated 54 years running in New York City, begins May 23 and runs through June 1.
"It's an oldie, but it's a favorite. ... It's so beautiful," said Elaine Mastalski, Cresson Lake Playhouse executive director. "Many people have said to me, 'Oh, this is one of my favorite, favorite shows.' So we're hoping that they'll come back and revisit Cresson Lake."

Luisa (Megan Marcaurelle-Jones) and Matt (Jordan Miller) think of a life together in "The Fantasticks."
The playhouse has not done the show since 1976, she believed.
The two-act musical tells the story of Luisa, 16, and Matt, 20, whose fathers, having learned that the best way to get a child to do what you want is to tell them not to do it, pretend to feud in order to push the couple toward love and marriage, said area native Stephen Guice, the show's director. In order to end the fake feud, El Gallo, the narrator of the story, stages a fake abduction, giving Matt the opportunity to rescue Luisa. Act II takes a "dark turn," however.
Guice is making a re-visit of his own.

The actor, who trained at Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City and performs in regional theaters around the United States, is back in town after spending the last few years living in New York City. This is the first full-musical production he has directed.
The musical is great for the unique space at Cresson Lake Playhouse where the stage is long and narrow and the audience sits on either side, he said.
"It's a smaller musical, it's a small cast, and I thought this is a show where they don't have to fight and try to make a big show fit into a small space," he said. "This is a nice, small, intimate space that this show can actually really fill. So when I saw they were doing it, I immediately applied to direct it."
The opportunity also gave him the chance to work with area people he had not worked with in awhile.
Doing so has been "lovely," he said, "and to meet new people who are fresh to the area theater scene and get to work with them has been really nice as well."
The show's music was written by Harvey Schmidt, a self-taught piano player , who could not read or write music, Guice said. When creating the show's music, several transcribers wrote down what they saw and heard while watching the artist's fingers and listening to him play.
"I think audiences really gravitate toward it because at the heart of it is incredible music," Guice said. "But it's a sort of jazz-inspired and infused music and the lyrics are great and the script is great. And people come because of the music, and there's something for everybody there."
Guice is pleased with the three actors performing the leads in the musical - Jacob Baskin as El Gallo, Jordan Miller as Matt and Megan Marcaurelle-Jones as Luisa.
"The actors that I was lucky enough to secure here are every bit as good as any New York City cast I've ever worked with or any regional," he said. "I was truly blessed to get my three leads. They are doing work that I don't think people will be expecting. I think they're going to be shocked."
Baskin, 25, of Altoona started acting in high school. He said the show he got to know now is "great," and he is "falling in love with it."
His character in "The Fantasticks" narrates the story, which is a technique used in earlier days of theater, he said.
Baskin likes that relationship with the audience.
"Yea, it's different because normally, when I went to Penn State Altoona and studied some theater there, we were taught not to address the audience at all because it's basically wrong. ... But addressing the audience is cool because then you can interact with them and they get into the story more, I think."
Miller, 18, also of Altoona said he got started acting in eighth-grade drama under the encouragement of drama teacher Jonathan Klingeman.
He is thrilled to get the chance to act in this show.
"It's just an awesome show. It just has a fantastic story," he said. "I saw it off-Broadway in February and I fell in love with it instantly and whenever I saw it I was like, 'Wow, I hope I get the chance to do this show some day.'"
Megan Marcaurelle-Jones, 25, of Altoona, described her character in an email as having "big dreams" and a "good heart."
"She is a really fun and challenging role to play and I am really enjoying her character," she said.
As for the show, it's "really quite special," she said. "The script is beautiful and poetic and the story is timeless. Steve has a really great vision for the show and I am so excited to see everything come together as a whole."

Is it wrong that I'm feeling euphoric over the Lakers' current suffering?
I consider myself a loving person, never taking enjoyment in the misery of others, but this Laker fiasco is too glorious not to celebrate.
Let it be known, I've never been a Lakers fan. I've always respected the organization for its history but like 'em? Not a chance.
First, there was Kobe Bryant needing only one more championship to equal Michael Jordan's six, giving those annoying Kobe-homers yet another illogical reason to believe 24 is better than 23.
Then that whole Dwight Howard thing happened.

Disappointment struck Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB ) -- one of the best performing big biotech stocks of 2012 -- yesterday after the company announced that its experimental ALS drug failed its phase 3 clinical trial. This is sad news for ALS patients, but multiple sclerosis patients and Biogen investors are now looking toward the potential approval from the Food and Drug Administration for the company's drug BG-12. In this video, our analysts discuss the recent news and also give an overview of Biogen's potential position in the MS drug market.
Considering that shares of Biogen climbed 30% in the last 12 months, investors can certainly make incredible gains with health care stocks, but this is also one of the market's riskiest sectors. Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner's picks, which range across many sectors, have frequently trounced the market.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Wide receiver David Nelson, one of the Jets' most thoughtful and candid players, had high praise for quarterback Geno Smith on Thursday, when the Jets opened training camp.
"I think Geno looked better than I've ever seen him today," Nelson said. "Just from the small stuff. He's walking in and he's making audibles at the line of scrimmage. Even Week 13, 14, he wasn't doing that."
The Jets, of course, have not announced Smith as their starting quarterback. But his so-called competition with Michael Vick really is not much of one at all. As expected, Smith got the vast majority of the snaps with the first-team offensive line Thursday.
Obviously, what players say about their teammates in July – and on the first day of training camp, no less – has little impact on what happens in October and November. But Nelson has noticed an increased sense of ownership from Smith, who struggled as a rookie starter last season.
The biggest difference Nelson sees in Smith, as compared to last year?
"Just knowing it's his team and knowing that he has what it takes, and the confidence," Nelson said. "Last year, he didn't really have a chance to worry about himself, because he had different pieces (receivers) coming in each and every single week (due to injuries). He had to learn a new offense. He had to learn the playbook. There was so much being thrown at him. Now, that's kind of second nature to him. Now, he can worry about himself. He can worry about his drop. He can worry about his foot position. You're seeing the small stuff for him really taking ownership over, and developing and getting better."
Nelson said he believes Smith feels this is his team. (Not that Smith would say this publicly.)
"I do," Nelson said. "I see that when he's in the huddle. I see that whenever he's calling plays. I see the way he has ownership and command over the offense. He's not necessarily worried about his reads. He's not necessarily worried about play progressions. He's worried about other guys. He's worried about: 'Hey, you need to be in the right spot. I called an audible, why didn't you pay attention? I called this snap count, and you jumped offside.' So he's taking command of the offense."
For his part, Smith wouldn't bite on the question of whether this is his team.
"I don't look at it like that," he said. "I love the confidence that my guys have in me. That's what it's all about. I just work hard. I don't let anything else affect me, not even those positive things."
It remains to be seen how all of these positive words being spoken about Smith bear themselves out on the field during actual games. But for now, they seem to be signs of Smith's significant progress.

S&W 10-7 parts interchangeable?

Handguns: Revolvers
> S&W 10-7 parts interchangeable?
May 13, 2007, 11:18 PM
Looks like I need a new yoke (crane) for my 10-7, someone has "Dick Tracy" shut it a lot. Numrich has the same item # for that part for the 10, 10-9, and 10-10. Would that be the right one?

I'd call them and ask.
May 14, 2007, 07:17 AM
Often they can be bent back into shape. Brownell's sells a little nylon wedge to bend it, I believe. A wooden wedge might do the trick, too.
You just have to figure out which way and how much it is bent the wrong way and correct it carefully.
May 14, 2007, 10:48 AM
A armorer I knew who had a jig for straightening k and j frames (one for each) don't know if these were factory items or he made them himself.
May 14, 2007, 06:44 PM
Thanks guys. I did manage to bend it back myself by hand. Unfortunately, now I also have to replace the hand and fit the new one. This was a prison guards gun, and I think he just sat around slamming it shut all day. :(

Marked NWCC on the backstrap.

I got a hand for a S&W 629-2 from S&W to replace a faulty floating hand. Fitting is easy. One of the pins has to be shortened and you have to keep in mind that the hand times on the side, on on top like Colt.
How is your extractor star looking? Is it also worn? I got a S&W parts kit from J&G Sales for $99. It's a 2" Model 10 with all parts but the frame. Mine was in very good condition and well worth the money to fill up my parts box.

May 15, 2007, 10:54 AM
Smith & Wesson yokes and extractors were (and likely still are) individually fitted to a particular revolver. One taken from another gun may, or may not fit. In the case of a yoke it may be made to fit, but then require refinishing. For this reason it's best to stay with the one that originally came in the revolver if possible. An extractor star is reamed with the chambers, which is the reason one from another revolver may not be a perfect fit.
SgtRage did not specify what his problem with the hand is, but often a carry-up problem (failure of the cylinder to revolve far enough to reach the next chamber) can be corrected without replacing any parts.
Rather then buy a lot of parts that might, or might not work, I would suggest that it might be better to return the revolver to Smith & Wesson for a tune-up. Whatever the problems are, they will be corrected - any any parts that have to be replaced will be the right ones.
May 15, 2007, 12:40 PM
If you have questions about how to fix your timing, carry up, peen your ratchets of the extractor star, etc. Smith-wesson forum has a gunsmithing section with two* very capable guys that are very willing to share their knowledge with you.
more than two but two are in that part of the forum all the time and answer quickly
May 15, 2007, 01:55 PM
Yep, every so often I do see atrocious firearm handling among my staff, and correct them every time I can. Prisons do not lend themselves to good sidearm maintenance, as, unlike PDs, the sidearm is not assigned to the officer, but the post, (Main Control, Perimeter, Tower, etc), and every 8 hours needs to be unloaded to be passed to the relieving staff. The you get someone who likes to "do like the movies", and flip it shut after reloading, 3 times a day, every day, for years, and years. Especially if the same staff members are assigned to that post, year after year.
May 16, 2007, 12:49 PM
Extractor star looks very good, as do the cylinder stop and notches
Old Fuff, you're right on the money, it's a carry-up issue. It's not going quite far enough for the cylinder stop to lock, by a hair. I've actually got a friendly gunsmith here who's helping me with it, he's worked on Smiths for years. He suggested replacing the hand, warning me that it would require fitting, most likely for length. I do have experience with detail stripping S&W revolvers and doing fitting, just never done this particular job before.
Also, I have gotten the revolver at least thirdhand, so I'm not sure if the warranty still applies, and I'm not able to put much money into it at the moment. So, doing it myself seems like the way to go.
Besides, I like learning to do it myself. ;)
May 16, 2007, 12:50 PM
BTW, not trying to disparage anyone's profession.
Old Fuff
May 16, 2007, 03:06 PM
S&W revolver carry-up problems are more often caused by the hand's width, rather then length, or wear in the window it works through. That presumes that the condition isn't cause by the original fitting of the hand to ratchet tooth, or somebody trying to "improve" the action that didn't know what they were doing. A mis-aligned yoke barrel can also contribute to the situation.
If you send the gun to S&W they will pay for the shipping both ways. If they determine that any condition was cused by, or related to, their original work they'll fix it for free, regardless of how may owners have owned the gun. If they need to charge for non-warrantee work they will contact you with an estimate, and not do any work until you O.K. it. If you say, "no" they will return the gun in the same condition they received it.
You can't go wrong. :)
May 16, 2007, 04:36 PM
Gotta agree with Old Fuff on S&W warranty, it's good. It is also kind of a no tell, no ask policy. I have used it many times but believe that if you can figure it out yourself, it is so much more satisfying.
I had a S&W certified police armourer - and top notch PPC shooter - walk me through my beginnings.
