text: I dont think Jerry Brown is going to go see Moneyball, and I have no knowledge that he has an opinion either way on Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill or Philip Seymour Hoffman.Unless perhaps as potential political donors.But I can infer with some safety that if he did go, it wouldnt be for the baseball back story. He made it pretty evident when he was the mayor of Oakland that the Athletics didnt move his needle much.Okay, thats not fair. They didnt move his needle at all.He saw no value in considering creative alternatives for the As ballpark issue while the mayor of Oakland. The town was destitute, as it is now, with school closures as the latest body blow to a city that has taken about all it can. And as mayor he didnt commit much effort to figuring out how to make such a plan work.And now, as governor of California, he has signed two bills that will help hasten the reality of an NFL stadium in L.A. Whod have guessed?His logic in Oakland? Boiled to its truthful essence, he saw no political will or benefit for it, and he is far less careful at selecting the windmills at which he will tilt than he was 30 years ago.But now that he has regained the governors chair after routing the free-range boss Meg Whitman, he has found the wisdom in stadium construction for a football team in Los Angeles.Somewhere, Billy Beane is aiming both middle fingers at him with considerable malice.Or maybe not. Maybe the As were so hell-bent on the myth of San Jose that a working plan for Oakland spearheaded by Brown would have offended Johnny (The Spectre) Fisher and his real estate agent, Lew Wolff.But when you hear helpful phrases from the governor like Its time for big thinking and big projects that put Californians back to work, and it is imperative for the state to cut the red tape that could delay projects like this for years, you cant help wonder why that logic didnt work in Oakland.The difference is, it doesnt have to. For Jerry Brown, at an age where legacy shopping is important, its about timing and location. The timing is he isnt going to be a player in politics much longer, and the location is Los Angeles instead of Oakland. There are benefits to him in helping a stadium grow in Los Angeles that there clearly were not in Oakland.This does not make Brown unique. Any politician in his place would probably arrive at the same conclusion for the same reason even the really loony ones.Still, The Billy Beane Story would be much different if he couldnt use the Coliseum as an excuse for not pursuing free agents and resigning free agents-to-be. Hes already dropped that one on Josh Willinghams agent, and frankly, if thats the new battle plan, then he may as well just head for the hammock.Should Brown have been more aggressive about an Oakland stadium? An open question. The A s seemed reluctant, the city seemed broke. But creative men like Jerry Brown are required for tasks like that, and Brown didnt expend any energy, charm or brain cells in seeking that solution. He simply didnt regard it as important.But now, despite showing no particular interest in football, he has hastened the process by which Los Angeles gets its football stadium thereby offering the deliciously perverse scenario in which the Raiders decide to move to L.A. and become a tenant in a Jerry Brown-endorsed stadium.So no, we dont expect the governor to race right out and see Brad Pitt play a fictionalized version of Billy Beane in a fictionalized movie of a kind of fictionalized season. Hes not a baseball guy.And as he must surely be aware, Billy Beane isnt a Jerry Brown guy, either.

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'

I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

Drive to Coimbra Portugal
... detour to Lomego to see their castle. We dropped a thousand feet or so into this picturesque little town and took a turn to the Capella (chapel) and drove down a very steep and narrow road. Curiosity got the best of us until we dropped at least another 1000 feet. We found the chapel, closed in a small village with streets so narrow we had to stop and back up. We hoped we could get back up the hill. We did and only encountered one downhill auto.

Wisconsin Ranks 37th in Private Sector Job Growth
By Marge Pitrof • Dec 18, 2013
Wisconsin added just under 24,000 private sector jobs from June 2012 to June 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a 1% increase.
The national rate was 1.9 percent. Leading the country is North Dakota with an increase of 3.7 percent. West Virginia is at the bottom, posting a 0.7 percent loss in jobs.
The quarterly statistics are reportedly the most reliable measure of the nation's and states' jobs pictures, because more than 90 percent of businesses are surveyed.

UW coaches lighting a fire under Clay
Badgers need running back to keep running hard at Iowa
Madison — Minutes after seeing his team hand then-No. 1 Ohio State its first loss of the season Saturday, Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema acknowledged he had challenged the members of the offensive line by reminding them with that the Buckeyes hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher for 29 consecutive games.
"I threw it in those guys' faces all week," he said.
The challenge presented to tailback John Clay, via word and video highlights, was less publicized but ultimately more important.
Six days before the game, running backs coach John Settle showed Clay video of his 2008 performance against the Buckeyes. In that game, Clay attacked the Buckeyes' front by keeping his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage.
UW suffered a 20-17 loss that night, but Clay hurdled a defender on one amazing play and finished with 69 yards on 10 carries in a breakout performance.
"He was just brainwashing it in my head, trying to bring back the old me, to where it all started," Clay said.
"By him saying that and me watching that, I knew I would have to bring out my 'A' game . . . to try and help my team out."
Clay's rushing numbers against the Buckeyes (21 carries, 104 yards, two touchdowns) didn't match his performances in UW's first games this season, but he ran more effectively than he had all season with the explosive power that must be his signature.
Bielema understands the 10th-ranked Badgers (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten Conference) will need a similar effort this week at No. 13 Iowa (5-1, 2-0), which features a better run defense than Ohio State.
That is why he spoke to Clay early in the week and reminded him that the success he enjoyed in the 31-18 victory over the Buckeyes was born on the practice field.
"I've already said something to him just because I wanted him to know," Bielema said. "I knew he was going to have success on Saturday off of what I saw on Wednesday and Thursday.
"And I made (a) statement to the team . . . what you have to take from that win was you set the level of success on Saturday by what you did during the week. Now that's expected. As coaches, we got to make sure we're getting it. And some kids get it, some guys won't."
Bielema said no pep talks are required for players such as senior linemen Gabe Carimi and John Moffitt and senior tight end Lance Kendricks.
"But there are certain guys that aren't quite where they need to be," he added, "and that's our job as coaches.
"That's where we got to step in and make sure they understand it."
Clay appears to understand in the wake of his performance against Ohio State.
The blocking by UW at the point of attack was tremendous.
"I tell you what," offensive coordinator Paul Chryst said, "up front, and you can throw in the tight ends and Bradie (Ewing), they did a heck of a job sorting out a lot of stuff."
Clay complemented their efforts by running with a remarkable rage.
Five of his 21 carries were for 12 or more yards, for a total of 69 yards (13.8 yards per carry).
Three of those came on UW's first offensive possession. Clay gained 12 on his second carry, 16 on his fourth carry and 14 on his fifth. The 14-yarder went for a touchdown and Clay wasn't touched until he bounced into teammate Nick Toon during the end-zone celebration.
"I felt real good, felt in a groove," Clay said. "I felt good and my offensive line was doing a great job moving people out of the way. Being able to burst and explode off the line felt good.
"The guys up front parted it like the Red Sea."
Iowa's defensive front won't part so easily. The Hawkeyes are seventh nationally against the run at 83.8 yards per game. Opponents are averaging 2.9 yards per carry.
Chryst said he believes Clay will be ready because he has seen how the junior tailback responds to challenges.
"The one thing I appreciate from John is that he knew the game coming up," Chryst said of the Ohio State game. "If you're going to bet, you'd bet he would rise up."
Quarterback Scott Tolzien was impressed.
"He was himself; that's what we ask of John," he said. "We don't ask John to make five guys miss. It's more when you make contact, make them go forward. I thought it was his best week of practice and preparation up to that point."

Zodiac Milpro Launches Major Commitment to Training
Zodiac Milpro (Military and Professional) International has become the first inflatable boat manufacturer to make a commitment to training with the introduction of a full year syllabus of training courses.
The groundbreaking new Zodiac 2012 training syllabus has been developed to enable anyone, regardless of whether they are customers or not, to learn how to operate RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) and other types of inflatable craft efficiently, safely and economically.
The courses on offer include commissioning a new boat and its optimisation, helmsmanship to advanced standards, repair and maintenance and a range of special techniques relevant to military or safety service users. These can include air drop or helicopter launch, underwater cache deployment, search and rescue and ship assault. The syllabus also includes training for jet-ski operations as part of a search and rescue capability.
The courses have been devised to cover a wide range of Zodiac-related activities and are intended to enable users to maximize their boats' abilities, to extend their service lives and operational readiness while also taking account of each trainee's specific requirements. Depending upon the topic, the courses may be held at a Zodiac factory or at a client's premises where Zodiac instructors can provide valuable guidance and personal tuition.
The course instructors employed by Zodiac MILPRO are all experts in their field and are drawn from industry, the military and special forces and from national coast guard services and typically have over 20-years of operational or technical experience.
Students are likely to participate as groups from organizations that have identified a need or perceive that positive benefits will come from their gaining a better understanding of their boats and how to use them. With better knowledge customers will maximize their boats' working lives while an ability to undertake maintenance tasks in-house will provide a measurable cost benefit. An additional incentive is being offered by Zodiac with the provision of an extended warranty and free replacement parts for any new customer who participates in one of the maintenance courses.
Following the results of the first courses Zodiac is confident that there are numerous armed forces and government agencies that will recognize benefits from the availability of such training. Besides enabling them to gain maximum value from their boats and to reduce running costs, they gain access to the highest standards of training whenever they need it and without any costly investment in training infrastructure of their own.
Full details of the new training programme can be found on the Zodiac Milpro website at www.zodiacmilpro.com . The company is based in Paris and supplies inflatable and semi-rigid craft for professional users such as police, coast guard, special forces, anti-terrorism units, fire teams, the offshore industry and other military users. The boats manufactured by Zodiac Milpro International range from 4m to 12m long and are available in configurations that include inflatable and rigid inflatable boats with aluminium or fibreglass hull designs, inflatable or foam tubes, diesel inboard or petrol outboard engines.

ECRI Weekly Leading Index: WLIg Highest Since February 2013
Today's release of the publicly available data from ECRI (Economic Cycle Research Institute) puts its Weekly Leading Index (WLI) at 138.9, down 0.8 from the previous week. Year-over-year the four-week moving average of the indicator is now at 6.30%, up from 6.18% the previous week and its highest since August 2013. The WLI Growth indicator is now at 8.8, its highest since February 2013.
ECRI's latest website feature is an article pointing out the false expectation that the Brexit vote would trigger a recession. "Only now, with evidence mounting that such a recession hasn't materialized, is there puzzlement about the 'Brecession blunder' – how could so many economists have been so wrong." Read the full article here.
The ECRI Indicator Year-over-Year
Below is a chart of ECRI's smoothed year-over-year percent change since 2000 of their weekly leading index. The latest level is above where it was at the start of the last recession.
RecessionAlert has launched an alternative to ECRI's WLIg, the Weekly Leading Economic Indicator (WLEI), which uses 50 different time series from various categories, including the Corporate Bond Composite, Treasury Bond Composite, Stock Market Composite, Labor Market Composite, and Credit Market Composite. An interesting point to notice -- back in 2011, ECRI made an erroneous recession call, while the WLEI did not trigger such a premature call. However, both indicators are now generally in agreement and moving in the same direction.
Appendix: A Closer Look at the ECRI Index
The first chart below shows the history of the Weekly Leading Index and highlights its current level.
For a better understanding of the relationship of the WLI level to recessions, the next chart shows the data series in terms of the percent off the previous peak. In other words, a new weekly high registers at 100%, with subsequent declines plotted accordingly.
As the chart above illustrates, only once has a recession ended without the index level achieving a new high -- the two recessions, commonly referred to as a "double-dip," in the early 1980s. Our current level is still off the most recent high, which was set back in June of 2007. We've exceeded the previously longest stretch between highs, which was from February 1973 to April 1978. But the index level rose steadily from the trough at the end of the 1973-1975 recession to reach its new high in 1978. The pattern in ECRI's indictor is quite different, and this has no doubt been a key factor in their business cycle analysis.
The WLIg Metric
The best known of ECRI's indexes is their growth calculation on the WLI. For a close look at this index in recent months, here's a snapshot of the data since 2000.
Now let's step back and examine the complete series available to the public, which dates from 1967. ECRI's WLIg metric has had a respectable record for forecasting recessions and rebounds therefrom. The next chart shows the correlation between the WLI, GDP and recessions.
Year-over-Year Growth in the WLI
Here is a snapshot of the year-over-year growth of the WLI rather than ECRI's previously favored method of calculating the WLIg series from the underlying WLI (see the endnote below). Specifically the chart immediately below is the year-over-year change in the 4-week moving average of the WLI. The red dots highlight the YoY value for the month when recessions began.
The WLI YoY has been in positive territory for the twenty second cosecutive week and is now at 6.30% to two decimal points, up from 6.19% last week and its highest since August 2013. The latest level is higher than at the start of all of the last seven recessions. This indicator has only rarely dipped below its recent interim low outside recessionary periods: Lower levels occurred in 1988 and also during the economic volatility following the last recession.
Note: How to Calculate the Growth series from the Weekly Leading Index
ECRI's weekly Excel spreadsheet includes the WLI and the Growth series, but the latter is a series of values without the underlying calculations. After a collaborative effort by Franz Lischka, Georg Vrba, Dwaine van Vuuren and Kishor Bhatia to model the calculation, Georg discovered the actual formula in a 1999 article published by Anirvan Banerji, the Chief Research Officer at ECRI: " The three Ps: simple tools for monitoring economic cycles - pronounced, pervasive and persistent economic indicators."
Here is the formula:
"MA1" = 4 week moving average of the WLI
"MA2" = moving average of MA1 over the preceding 52 weeks
"n"= 52/26.5
"m"= 100
WLIg = [m*(MA1/MA2)^n] - m

Members of Syria's opposition were behind the killing this week of a senior Iranian general as he traveled from Damascus to Beirut, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday.
The assassination took place near Damascus, according to the U.K.-based group with ties to opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government.
Iranian state broadcaster PressTV reported Thursday on an official funeral in Tehran for Gen. Hassan Shateri, a Revolutionary Guard commander for Iran-financed reconstruction projects in South Lebanon.
Shateri was slain by "Israeli agents," PressTV said.
Because the Assad regime and its allies often describe the Syrian rebels as terrorists and mercenaries on the payroll of foreign powers, including Israel, it is not clear whether Tehran intended to accuse the Israeli government in the general's death.
Here in Beirut, meanwhile, Iran's Embassy issued a statement expressing "deep sadness" over the killing "by terrorist elements" of a man identified as Houssam Khosh Nweis, director of the Iranian Council for Reconstruction in Lebanon.
Shateri apparently went by the other name when in Lebanon. EFE

Meadowfoam seed oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Meadowfoam seed oil is an edible seed oil, extracted from the seeds of Limnanthes alba (meadowfoam). The seeds contain 20-30% oil. Meadowfoam seed oil is extraordinarily stable, primarily because it contains over 98% long chain fatty acids. Meadowfoam oil is most similar to rapeseed oil, with which it competes directly for the high-volume industrial oilseed applications.[1] Meadowfoam oil is widely used in cosmetic and hair-care applications due to its stability, lubricity and ability to stay on the skin[citation needed].

"Always" is a popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1925, as a wedding gift for his wife Ellin McKay, whom he married in 1926, and to whom he presented the substantial royalties. The song was supposed to be used for the Marx Brothers' Broadway musical The Cocoanuts but was cut by Berlin during out-of-town tryouts.

Hit versions have also been recorded by such diverse artists as Benny Goodman, Charlie Barnet, Tony Bennett, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Corgan, Leonard Cohen, Phil Collins, Machito and The Ink Spots. Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan also recorded it as a duet. Bandleader Sammy Kaye recorded it twice, in 1945 with singer Arthur Wright (hit single), and as part of a 1949 LP with singer Tony Alamo. Diana Ross & The Supremes performed a Motown-styled version of the song in a tribute to Irving Berlin on The Ed Sullivan Show. Lynda Carter would close her TV specials with the song. Mandy Patinkin sang the song to his character Rube's daughter in the TV series Dead Like Me. Paul McCartney recorded it for his 2012 album Kisses on the Bottom.[1]
In 1928, this song was featured multiple times in the Universal partial talkie feature "Lonesome". This love story is about 2 strangers who meet one day on Coney Island. He plays a 78 rpm disk in his apartment and she also thinks of the song on her own. There is an on screen display of lines of the melody, accompanied by the lyrics. Lonesome, directed by Paul Fejos.[2] In 1942 it was used as the theme music for the film The Pride of the Yankees. It was also used in the 1945 film Blithe Spirit, based on the Noël Coward play.[3]

While fully agreeing with the importance of code literacy for designers, I started to wonder exactly in which situations designers might want to do some actual coding themselves, and in which they shouldn't. I wrote an article about it, and I thought I'd post here the link to the article, together with the entire content. It's meant to be more of a discussion starter, so your comments are welcome!

We are a team of Designers and Developers who are NINJAs at user experience design, interaction design, graphic design, WP7 development, iOS development and sometimes at photography and filming :)
I wrote a piece a while back that there was a "war" of sorts going on between (among?) information achitects (who frequently came out of the library science, writing, or HCI fields), usability experts, and "designers," and by that, I mean makers of pretty pictures and high concepts (frequently designers who came out of a classic design-for-print-ads field).
Hi everyone,My company is looking for a graphics design agency to provide visual design concepts (color
scheme, iconography, styling, aesthetics, etc) for an enterprise
product. We have an in-house UX team who is responsible for use
case analysis, low-fi and hi-fi mockups. It is important we find someone
who can work within the boundaries of our design to create an elegant/polished look & feel that can be applied consistently throughout the product.
I'm looking to put together a definition of interactive design with specific reference to internet applications.
I'm interested in reading articles or material that deal with this content.
Could anyone suggest appropriate material?

If adversity brings out the best in people, then the Texas Panhandle has exhibited more goodness than many of us can possibly imagine.
Then again, most of us know that already about our friends and neighbors.
Fires have flared up again in recent days, courtesy of heavy wind blowing across our vast expanse. No lives have been lost in this recent crisis.
For that, Panhandle residents should give thanks, although some families saw their homes destroyed by flames. Our hearts go out to them as they struggle with the loss.
We also should give thanks for the neighborliness that has extended from one corner of the Panhandle to the other and to all points in between.
Firefighters from communities not affected directly by the fires have rushed to the aid of their beleaguered brethren. The fires that broke out Thursday, for example, brought fire crews from counties in the western Panhandle to help with colleagues in the eastern part of the Panhandle.
Firefighters spoke of how we should care for each other. After all, they said, we're all vulnerable to the same forces of nature that are bringing havoc to the region.
Communities were evacuated Thursday, as residents gave firefighters room to do their jobs. Gladly, they did them well during the day as they brought blazes under control in the early evening.
Every community gets tested as ours has been in recent weeks. Whether it's relentless rain - which would be a blessing right about now - earthquakes or volcanoes, virtually no one is immune from nature's wrath.
Such adversity, though, shouldn't scorch our spirit, which will see us all through this trying time.

Amarillo's water supply is well prepared for the summer.
City officials said water demands in the summer can easily be three or four times greater than the rest of the year.
"Our water system's in great shape. We have a supply to last hundreds of years," said City Manager Alan Taylor.
During a presentation on the system, Assistant City Manager Jarrett Atkinson said Amarillo has seen an increase in population and a decrease in water consumption for the majority of the last five years.
"Conservation, in all the forms, have helped that, as does Mother Nature," Atkinson said. "When moisture comes, it has a phenomenal impact."
The exception was last year, when the weather turned hot earlier and rainfall came late.
Plans for water system
Continue ongoing maintenance and repair
Construct distribution infrastructure (as needed)
Complete two new wells at the Comanche Golf Course
Continue city irrigation improvement plan
Continue the full utilization of the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority allocation
Develop new Potter County Well Field/Pump Station Pipeline for additional supply
Potential development on one of two consolidated water rights holdings
Potential additional CRMWA development
Current reserves
With city reserves providing 100 percent - 125 years
With city reserves and CRMWA groundwater reserves - 230 years
Using population demand projections from the Regional Water Plan:
City reserves providing 100 percent - 100 years
Using city reserves along with the CRMWA groundwater reserves - 170 years
"Last year, it didn't rain at a time of year to help with the peak," he said. "It was hot early last year. We had people watering lawns in February."
In 2006, Amarillo used an average of 47.7 million gallons of water a day, for a total of about 17.4 billion gallons for the year - enough water to cover the entire city with 10-inch-deep water.
Of Amarillo's water usage, residential consumption uses the most at 54 percent. Commercial use makes up 17 percent, industrial use takes up 13 percent and commercial irrigation uses 7 percent.
Atkinson said the city sits in good position for the summer.
"Lake Meredith has gone up 21 inches in 31 days. The city water system is in excellent condition going into the summer, barring some unforeseen circumstances," he said.
The city is starting the second year of its Every Drop Counts Conservation Program.
"It was greeted with tremendous response," Atkinson said. "Really, if we're all doing our jobs, that should never end. I think the population and the public responded well last year. We raised awareness."
At Tuesday's City Commission meeting, commissioners approved buying the groundwater rights for 9,962 acres in Roberts County from the Allen Family Trust. The deal is estimated to cost about $2.9 million.

Kuchar, English win Shootout, set tourney mark
NAPLES, Fla. -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.
Kuchar and English finished at 34-under 182, playing their last 28 holes at Tiburon in 25 under. They opened with a 64 Friday in modified alternate-shot play and had a 60 Saturday in better ball.
The duo beat Retief Goosen and Fredrik Jacobsen by seven strokes, matching the tournament record for margin of victory set by Curtis Strange and Mark O'Meara in 1989 in the inaugural event.
Kuchar and English, who replaced the injured Brandt Snedeker in the field, each earned $385,000.
Goosen and Jacobsen closed with a 61.
Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter had a 59 to finish third at 26 under.
- At Chonburi, Thailand, Sergio Garcia shot a final-round 68 to beat Henrik Stenson by four strokes and win the Thailand Golf Championship at the Amata Spring Country Club on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Spaniard, who held the lead since the second round, turned in a solid final round that featured six birdies and two bogeys to finish on 22-under 266.
Sweden's Stenson, who recently made history when he became the first player to win the Race to Dubai and the FedEx Cup, matched Garcia's 68 in his final round for an 18-under 270 total.
The victory is Garcia's first of the year, with his last win coming at the Johor Open in Malaysia last December.
- At Orlando, Fla., Stewart and Connor Cink won the Father/Son Challenge on Sunday, making two eagles in their final five holes for a three-stroke victory in the scramble event.
Connor Cink, a Clemson freshman who preferred hockey over golf as a teen, put the duo in front with a 30-foot eagle at No. 14. His father capped the day with a 20-foot eagle putt at No. 18, the last of nine consecutive 3s in a back-nine 27. They finished with an 11-under 61 for a 22-under total.
Steve and Sam Elkington and Vijay and Qass Singh tied for second. The Singhs shot 61, and the Elkingtons had a 63.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) Subsidiary Endorsed By Screen Star Mariel Hemingway 0 commentsFeb 11, 2013 2:08 PM | about stocks: ISCO
The jump in exposure being given by print and online media to ISCO subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care is highlighted with the recent endorsement by celebrity Mariel Hemingway. The popular screen star has begun promoting Lifeline's Eye Firming Complex on social shopping network OpenSky.com. There is no marketing influence greater than the recommendation of a friend, relative, or respected acquaintance, and OpenSky taps that power. OpenSky is a platform that connects unique product creators (suppliers) with the world's most influential content creators (sellers), resulting in shoppers getting to buy goods from the people they know and trust.
Here is a peak at Mariel's endorsement:
"The skin around our eyes is very delicate, and it gets more fragile as the years go by. But you can restore firmness, fade dark circles, and relax wrinkles without seeing a surgeon-believe me! I love Lifeline's Eye Firming Complex and use it faithfully to keep my eye area bright and smooth. The "secret" is in the smart blend of anti-aging ingredients. What's really unique about this Lifeline complex are the non-embryonic stem cell extracts. They plump up thinning skin from the inside out by replacing old skin cells with healthy new cells. This is really unlike anything else you'll find, and you can see the remarkable results. Plus, proteins and peptides stimulate collagen production to do everything from zap puffiness to tighten skin, and hydrators like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid keep your delicate eye area soft and moisturized.
I dab on a small amount in the morning and again at night. I love that I wake up with bright, refreshed eyes-now I actually look as well-rested as I feel!"
Lifeline Skin Care is the creator of advanced rejuvenating stem cell skin creams. In December of 2012, they hosted a breakfast for 40+ editors (newspaper, magazine, and online) in New York City, and got an overwhelming response from which they are now beginning to reap the publicity rewards.

I flew for a long time with 3.6mm on a tilt system. Without tilt Fast Forward Flight was problematic. I have recently switched to 2.8mm and enjoy it more as I don't need to use a tilt system for FFF.
Good luck with your build. Multi-rotors are a blast to fly.

Nick_P said" I installed a 7.2volt ubec into my 9x and that powers the goggles."
I was thinking of that for my AIO Goggs and futaba 8fg, how has it been working.
Would you have to take spare TX batts with you?
I go with spare batt for tx, Vtx, RX, vRx, tripod cam(soon hat cam like night flyer) and dv1 5.8 DVr, I can't wait for batt tech to get in line with moores law,
I watched your vids, (xboxlive YouTube would NOT play in order) and missed some, on fpvsetup, but ill go back and watch.
Nice work! Inspiring.

Thanks for the compliment.
The 7.2 ubec has worked flawlessly now with over 50 flights using the setup. I get 4 x 10 minute flights off of a single 500mah 3s lipo in the transmitter. Since that's all I fly a session I don't really take an extra pack. If you fly more then yes you would need to take a spare tx pack or up the mah rating.

Well I put together a version of your spider quad today and although I haven't FPV'd it I am very impressed with it. I am using DT750's and in the end I only had 11x4.7 props so ran with those. FC is a KK2 which I am still getting used to tuning (with limited success so far).
I am thinking for FPV I want to move the motors out 1 or 2 inches more. With this design is the important considerations that the FC is in the middle of the motors and the CG is at the FC? Everything else is pretty much irrelevant? What about angles etc? The battery on your design sits towards the back for me with no FPV equipment on board. How did you calculate the CG? Sorry for all the questions - just want to get this all right for the KK2 board.
Edit: - Video on its way - uploading now.
Edit 2 - Have you got a pic of your quad completed with your FPV? Wanna see your layout it all. Cheers.
Edit 2.5 - Just saw that you have uploaded the FPV equipment vid - sorry for asking questions again.

Very nice. The CoG sits at the center of the area where the top protector plate mounts. It is the point where the motor create an X. The battery should sit in the back a bit since I figured a lot of people run GoPros and would need the counter weight.
If you want to run 11" props I would extend the arms, as designed it really only fits a 10" prop without the props getting too close to the cam mount. The only caveat is when you extend the arms it will change the CoG. It will also make the frame less symmetrical. That s not a huge problem just be aware of it.
Also if you still want a .dxf file I can send you one. PM me your email addy.

Thanks Nick!
The plans are great. I moved them to illustrator to laser cut a template. The plan was to use the template to rout out of ply or some lexan I have around. Turned out the acrylic I was using for template material looks really cool. A tad heavy, but the holes are already there, so I cut the bottom too and maybe I'll just build it. 1/4" acrylic is reasonably stiff, but heavier than ply and it'll crack in a crash...BUT...I can always laser another in 5 minutes or just glue a crack with solvent. Here's pix. If anyone actually wants the Illustrator files and doesn't have CS5, I can re-upload in a older format.
Nick, there are a few extra holes in the plans (around the mounts)...were those for additional standoffs for rigidity, or something else?
Thanks again,

Ahhh! That makes sense on the slots. I'll just cut them from the bottom plate. That also explains why I had to move the slot for the camera away from the edge! LOL. It doesn't belong on the top plate at all. I'll fix up and re-upload the .ai files.
I recognize the holes you are talking about but the ones I was wondering about though are the ones marked with red arrows. I didn't see those in the videos...are those for added standoffs? Also I didn't recognize the two holes marked with yellow arrows. I'm guessing wire pass-throughs... so they go on the top plate right?
BTW your Solidworks plans are excellent. It will be interesting to see how many people eventually build this.

Ok, the holes nearest the boom mounts you have pictured are zip tie holes to capture motor wires. The set of holes next to the motor wire holes in the rear part of the frame is for the posts that the topper plate attaches to in order to protect the FC. The slots marked in yellow are indeed wire pass though as well as status led window if one was to mount receiver between the plates.
See here hope it helps

Ok Nick,
I think I have it right now. Zip tie holes on the bottom plate, topper standoff holes on the top plate. Tell me if I messed it up (again). I guess I should have first looked at the iso view, huh? Oh well.

I debated whether that was the case. I was thinking the standoffs wouldn't be necessary so close to the clamped arms, but it does make the attachment of the topper plate more rigid and less vulnerable.
Ok! I think this is it!

I've quickly finished off my interpretation of your quad:
It's all wood, MDF for the top and bottom plate, with pine legs. The colour scheme was requested by my 3yo daughter
I'm finding the KK2 board a lot more fiddly to tune compared to the old KK on my tricopter but getting happier with it every flight
The way it's balancing at the moment I might take the whole rear section off the tail. At the moment it's balancing out with the flight pack right over the CG point.
I'll be using this quad as an FPV basher. Maybe with a #16 keychain camera with a wide lens if I plan to pull of something worth showing off later.
It's nice and quick running a 4S 2650mah and rctimer 750kv motors spinning 8x4.5 props.
Thanks for sharing the design Nick_P!

Low Profile TiresA short sidewall and a wide tread, two of the primary characteristics of the low profile tire, make the low profile tire great for two things: handling and performance. The shorter sidewall allows for a longer rim which in turn allows for bigger brakes that enable you to stop more quickly. The wider tread, meanwhile, allows for better road grip, which results in better stability when turning a corner. A lot of people also prefer the look of low profile tires, which many think is sleeker than traditional tires.More >
Tires By Vehicle
Tires By Size
Section WidthMeasured in millimeters from the outer sidewall to the inner sidewall at the widest point when mounted.
Aspect RatioThe ratio between the height of the sidewall and its Section Width, expressed as a percentage. The lower the number, the lower the "profile" of the tire.
Wheel DiameterMost wheel rim diameters are measured in inches, and are known as "inch rim" sizes. These are found on most cars, vans, SUVs and light trucks. Some heavy trailers, van and trucks use a half-inch measure. In addition, some rims are measured in millimeters. It's very important that your tire and wheel diameter match exactly. This should be confirmed before installation.

Writing to Stave Off Compromise and Mental Incontinence
Goethe is "the great Tang poet," according to the stroke-felled, invalid professor of Ha Jin's The Crazed, gone mad from the twin burdens of literature and politics (e.g., memories of chanting Dante while dunce-capped under the Cultural Revolution). The Crazed has its characters attempting to stave off compromise and "mental incontinence," at times in the absurdist tradition. Jin, a former soldier of the People's Liberation Army and acclaimed author of novels including Waiting and 2004's War Trash, could be doing something similar. Fittingly coming in a time of Guantánamos, War Trash is the memoir/captivity narrative of a Chinese P.O.W. held by Americans during the Korean War. Impeccable storytelling aside, Jin's dialogue can be wickedly delicious ("I'm a practical person, a dialectical materialist." "You're like an animal"), and his throwaway details sweetly, sadly moving (a man leaves a room humming a love song banned for three decades). Reading with Jin is Hawaiian novelist and pidgin English proponent Lois-Ann Yamanaka, author of Blu's Hanging, Heads by Harry, and the forthcoming Behold the Many.

A method that allows proteins to be tagged reversibly and repeatedly with a wide range of probes could revolutionize the way proteins function, biosynthesis and interactions are studied, researchers claim. The method, developed by a team at the University of California, San Diego, is based on Acyl carrier protein (ACP) labeling with 4'-phosphopantetheine (PPant) conjugated to a desired tag using its transferase (PPTase). This technique has been successfully used for protein isolation, and for protein visualization, and functional and structural studies, explain Michael D. Burkart, M.D., and colleagues. However, it's not possible to easily reverse PPant attachment.
To overcome this problem, the researchers used ACP hydrolase (AcpH), a phosphodiesterase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 13, and Sfp, a PPTase from Bacillus subtilis, to swap different PPant-conjugated small molecules on free ACP and ACP fusion proteins. Their method, the culmination of some 10 years of research, was devised as part of their study of fatty acid metabolism and the biosynthesis of other natural products, in particular the production of biofuels from engineered algae. Importantly, "Without this tool, we would really have very limited ways of studying the dynamics of these fundamental metabolic processes," professor Burkart states. "This opened the door for us to finally examine in detail the fatty acid biosynthesis shared by algae, which you have to understand if you want to engineer ways to improve the quantity of oil that's made by algae. Importantly, NMR analysis confirmed theat the process of chemically removing and attaching probes doesn't damage the protein. "We've shown that we can do this iteratively, at least four or five times, without any degradation of the protein," professor Burkart claims. "The protein remains very stable and can be studied very easily."
The investigators hope the ability to attach and remove probes to proteins will facilitate the study of a range of biosynthetic processes and pathways. "Given the multitude of existing opportunities for ACP labeling, particularly in work involving fusion-protein applications and natural-product biosynthetic studies, we believe that providing a reversible methodology will provide markedly improved flexibility for rapid modification of protein species," the UCSD researchers write in their published paper in Nature Methods. "There's a great interest now in synthetic biology, using these pathways to make new antibiotics or anti-cancer drugs," professor Burkart adds. "They're all regulated by these same types of interactions."
The method should also have wide-ranging applications as a laboratory tool to visualize and track proteins on cells, and manipulate them in the extracellular environment, the team believes. "One could attach a tag, such as biotin, that would allow the protein to be purified. Then one can clip off the tag and attach a fluorescent molecule to monitor protein interaction with other molecular partners," professor Burkart suggests. "The method could also be used for studying living cells, such as observing protein expression levels throughout the cellular life cycle."
The authors report their technology in a paper titled "Reversible labeling of native and fusion-protein motifs."

Fixed PriceBudget: $30
Start DateMarch 5, 2014
I have a small budget for "pragmatic learning".
Here, I would like to learn how to easily pinpoint the source of datas that are used to render a page. I have used firebug and chrome's web dev tools, but either these are limited or my knowledge thereof are limited.
Hence I would like to enhance my toolbox in web page mining.
I have a specific representative problem in mind, which we can discuss if you're interested.
Solution can be through GUI or programmatic (I am versed with Python, Matlab, R, and rusty in Java and C, but open to any other language).
NOTE: It should be clear that this "job" is more for a hacker/scraper profile than a web developer profile, but the only requirement is that you are able to find a solution and explain it.

Enhanced Diagnostic Tools
There are many instances where the native information within a natural peptide ligand can be conferred/duplicated or mimetized into a non-peptide molecule, preferably of low molecular weight, hence the basis for the field of peptidomimetics (PM's). The desire to convey the three dimensional information present in a peptide into small nonpeptide molecules is what encompasses the field of peptidomimetics.
Many research groups, both in academia and in pharmaceutical companies search constantly for non-peptide compounds that have better bioavailability and stability, perhaps even with greater receptor selectivity. The known structure-activity interactions and conformational foldings of peptide structures aid a great deal in the design of novel peptidomimetics. There are a number of factors that help in the rational design of PM's such us: binding site optimal fit, conformational stabilization, (given by rigid elements and the positioning of specific functional groups) polar or hydrophobic regions (inside strategic reactive pockets) that favor the basic atomic interactions provided by hydrogen , electrostatic and hydrophobic bonding.
The goal in PM's is to obtain molecules that mimic the specific molecular interactions of natural proteins and their ligands. The protein to protein interaction of biologivally active peptides at the receptor level can be obtained by small molecules, in an agonistic fashion or can be blocked, in an antagonistic fashion.
To obtain PM's generally the biological researcher will have to screen compound libraries (either natural products or synthetic products). Combinatorial chemistry, a method that was heavily used in the mid to late 90's can be a tool to generate vast numbers of peptidic and non-peptidic molecules As an example of a PM's , an inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), was developed, this PM's is called Captopril**. Also, morphine , an opiod alkaloid, represents a classic example of a non-peptidic compound found that mimics an endogenous peptide. Morphine replicates the biological effect of beta endorphin, on the respective receptor. A number of important aspects regarding conformational resctriction, peptide bond replacement, addition of turn mimetics and combinatorial library screening ,are investigated in order to search and find novel ligands, within the field of peptidomimetics
