Cortical column
A cortical column, also called hypercolumn, macrocolumn[1] or sometimes cortical module,[2] is a group of neurons in the cortex of the brain that can be successively penetrated by a probe inserted perpendicularly to the cortical surface, and which have nearly identical receptive fields. Neurons within a minicolumn (microcolumn) encode similar features, whereas a hypercolumn "denotes a unit containing a full set of values for any given set of receptive field parameters".[3] A cortical module is defined as either synonymous with a hypercolumn (Mountcastle) or as a tissue block of multiple overlapping hypercolumns.[4]
It is still unclear what precisely is meant by the term, and it does not correspond to any single structure within the cortex. It has been impossible to find a canonical microcircuit that corresponds to the cortical column, and no genetic mechanism has been deciphered that designates how to construct a column.[3] However, the columnar organization hypothesis is currently the most widely adopted to explain the cortical processing of information.[5]
Mammalian cerebral cortex[edit]
The mammalian cerebral cortex, the grey matter encapsulating the white matter, is composed of layers. The human cortex is roughly 2.4 mm thick. The number of layers is the same in all mammals, but varies throughout the cortex. In the neocortex 6 layers can be recognized although many regions lack one or more layers, fewer layers are present in the archipallium and the paleopallium.[6]
Columnar functional organization[edit]
The columnar functional organization, as originally framed by Vernon Mountcastle,[7] suggests that neurons that are horizontally more than 0.5 mm (500 µm) from each other do not have overlapping sensory receptive fields, and other experiments give similar results: 200–800 µm.[8][9][10] Various estimates suggest there are 50 to 100 cortical minicolumns in a hypercolumn, each comprising around 80 neurons.
An important distinction is that the columnar organization is functional by definition, and reflects the local connectivity of the cerebral cortex. Connections "up" and "down" within the thickness of the cortex are much denser than connections that spread from side to side.
Hubel and Wiesel studies[edit]
David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel followed up on Mountcastle's discoveries in the somatic sensory cortex with their own studies in vision. A part of the discoveries that resulted in them winning the 1981 Nobel Prize[11] was that there were cortical columns in vision as well, and that the neighboring columns were also related in function in terms of the orientation of lines that evoked the maximal discharge. Hubel and Wiesel followed up on their own studies with work demonstrating the impact of environmental changes on cortical organization, and the sum total of these works resulted in their Nobel Prize.
Number of Cortical columns[edit]
There are about 100,000,000 cortical minicolumns in the neo-cortex with up to 110 neurons each.[12] There may be more if the columns can overlap, as suggested by Tsunoda et al..[13]

Mystic — An iconic staple of the region's tourism promotions is up for sale.
The Inn at Mystic, a sprawling property that includes 67 motel rooms, the Flood Tide Restaurant and a turn-of-the-20th-century mansion known for hosting weddings, has been listed for $8.5 million, Rick Weiner of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty in Essex said Wednesday.
"It's one of the most spectacular sites available in New England," Weiner said. "You'd be hard-pressed to find a location on the East Coast that's near as many tourist amenities."
Jody Dyer, who has long co-owned the property with her sister, Nancy Gray, declined to be interviewed.
"It's such a special place," Tricia Walsh, president of the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce said of the inn, which overlooks Mystic Harbor and Fishers Island Sound. "People call the chamber all the time asking about the big white inn on the hill. They want to get married there."
Actors Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall honeymooned on the property in 1945, staying in the four-room Gate House, an outbuilding.
Tricia Cunningham, the commerce chamber's previous president, said Dyer has long played a leading role in promoting the Mystic area.
"She's led the charge for many years," Cunningham said.
Just last week, Dyer contributed $10,000 to a relief fund for Misquamicut businesses devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
The mansion on the property was built in 1904 by Katherine Haley, widow of one of the brothers who owned the Fulton Fish Market in New York City. W. Frederic Mosel purchased the mansion in the 1940s. Dyer's father bought land adjacent to the mansion in 1963, and there built the Mystic Motor Inn and the Flood Tide Restaurant.
In 1970, Dyer and Gray took over the inn, which acquired the mansion in 1980.
According to Weiner, the property for sale includes six parcels comprising nearly 16 acres. In addition to the inn, the restaurant and the mansion, it includes the Gate House; the waterfront Banks House; a "substantial" house off Reynolds Hill Road where summer employees stay; and a house on Denison Road, he said.
Amenities on the property include a swimming pool, tennis courts and a dock from which inn guests canoe and kayak.
Response to the property's listing has been "strong," Weiner said.
"We have groups both locally and nationally that have come out to see it," he said. "One group that's interested manages very high-end boutique properties. … It's literally impossible to duplicate a property like this."

Yamaha Japan may scrap plans for plant in Karachi
لو جی ۔۔ ابیل آ مجھے مار۔۔Yamaha Japan may scrap plans for plant in Karachi
TOKYO: Yamaha Motors Japan may cancel its 150 million dollars investment plan to set up motorcycles manufacturing unit in Pakistan due to bureaucratic hurdles, sources close to the matter told The News on Friday.
Even President Asif Ali Zardari failed to get implemented his own orders to facilitate Yamaha Motors in establishing its unit in Pakistan, sources said.
Yamaha's plan to set up its manufacturing plant in Karachi, for local sales and exports, was delayed due to bureaucratic snags and opposition from Dawood Yamaha, the Pakistani franchise holder.
India has started talks with Yamaha to review its plan and initiate the same project in India, sources said.
Yamaha may consider Indian offer due to cold response from Pakistan, sources said.
Yamaha was waiting for a response from Pakistan for last three years, sources said. During this period Yamaha's senior officials met with President Zardari at least twice, and President Zardari welcomed them to invest in Pakistan but the bureaucracy created hurdles for Japanese automobile giant to initiate the project in Pakistan.
Yamaha Motor President Hiroyuki Yanagi met with President Zardari during his visit to Japan in February. Yanagi requested Zardari to remove the hurdles to Yamaha Japan's entry in Pakistan, sources reminded.
Minister of Industries Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani, Chairman Board of Investment Saleem Mandviwala, Secretary Industries, and other officials were present at the said meeting where President Zardari issued orders to all the concerned people to immediately help Yamaha start its project in Pakistan. But the situation remains unchanged even after four months, sources said.
Yanagi had told the Pakistani authorities that his company would spend $150 million for setting up a new plant at 50 acres plot in Bin Qasim near Karachi. He said Yamaha would bring advanced technology to Pakistan where initially 22,000 motorcycles of 125-150 cc, per year, would be manufactured in the factory with electronic fuel injection (EFI) engines and during the next ten years its production would reach to 750,000.
The company would also provide comprehensive training and technical education to its employees, dealers, and vendors.
Yanagi had told the Pakistani dignitaries that 45,000 people would get direct and indirect employment from the said project, sources recalled.
what the hell is going on in this country.. look how dangerous it is and still there are so many entrepreneurs taking risk of doing business here and bringing in investment and what the hell our govt is doing to help them ?

Customary International Law: Herding Cats in Zero Gravity
Posted by Andrew Rush on 2012/05/24 11:14 CDT | 1 comments
When it comes to emerging industries like extraterrestrial resource mining, customary international law can seem like attempting to herd cats in zero gravity. Pinning down what is "fair" and "customary" in areas where no man has gone before can seem daunting but it also presents the unique opportunity to shape international custom by establishing them.

Obviously the Earth ends and space begins somewhere, but today, as it has been for the entirety of humanity's manned and unmanned exploration of "up there", there is no international legal definition of space, no clear indication of where space law applies! This ambiguity is a potential source of confusion and unease for aerospace companies.

I will run 3DMark 2001 SE Pro in order to compare the graphics subsystems of the Samsung Q30 Plus and the Sony VAIO VGN-T2XRP/S. Then I will additionally check the performance of the Q30 Plus's more advanced GMA 900 graphics core in 3DMark03 version 3.60.
The 3DMark benchmark renders a few 3D scenes using its own engine and helps to evaluate every aspect of the computer's graphics subsystem.
The Samsung Q30 Plus ends this test the winner. Its graphics core passes the sub-tests the older Extreme Graphics 2 core cannot run: Game 4, Environment Bump Mapping, Pixel Shader 2.0 and Advanced Pixel Shader. Of course, GMA 900 cannot compare with standalone graphics solutions, yet it is a big improvement upon Extreme Graphics 2. By the way, the 915GMS uses a "light" version of Intel's GMA 900, so this graphics core can do even better!
Next, I tested the sub-notebook in Quake 3, in two modes:
- 640x480; 16 bit; Lighting:Vertex; Detail:Low; Texture Quality:16 bit; Texture Filter:Bilinear;
- 1024x768; 32 bit; Lighting:Lightmap; Detail:High; Texture Quality:32 bit; Texture Filter:Trilinear.
The Samsung Q30 Plus is behind the Sony VAIO VGN-T2XRP/S in the low resolution where the game speed depends greatly on the CPU performance, and the Sony sub-notebook just happens to have a faster CPU. The Q30 Plus takes its revenge at the maximum quality settings where it enjoys a big advantage over its opponent.
When the power source is changed to the battery, the notebooks both slow down considerably as they take various power-saving measures (drop down the CPU frequency, etc).

Taiwan, Macau agree to expand number of direct flights, capacity
February 18, 2014, 12:19 am TWN
TAIPEI -- A new aviation agreement between Taiwan and Macau will expand the number of direct flights between the two sides and increase both seating and cargo capacity, Taiwan's aviation regulator said yesterday.
Under the deal signed that day between Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council and the Macau Economic and Cultural Office, the current ceiling of 19,400 passengers and 400 tons of cargo per week will be lifted.
The new arrangement means Taiwan and Macau can operate an unlimited number of flights based on market demand, a step toward a comprehensive open skies agreement, according to the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA).
The new agreement, which replaces a Taiwan-Macau pact inked 13 years ago, does not include the Fifth Freedom Right, the CAA said, explaining that local carriers will still be barred from extending their Taiwan-Macau flights to third destinations.
The Fifth Freedom Right refers to the right of an airline to carry passengers from one's own country to a second country, and from that country to a third country.
The only countries that have open skies deals with Taiwan are the United States and New Zealand. Taiwan and Japan are currently negotiating on the Fifth Freedom Right, while Taiwan and Singapore are expected to reach a certain level of aviation liberalization in 2017.
Average passenger loads on Taiwan-Macau flights operated by the two sides is about 70 percent, the CAA said.
EVA Airways and TransAsia Airways are the sole operators on the route on Taiwan's side, with 8,320 seats on 40 flights, and 6,370 seats on 35 flights per week, respectively.
No airlines currently operate Taiwan Macau cargo services, the CAA said.
Despite the pact, however, neither airline has shown any interest in offering more flights on the route.
EVA said there remains room for improvement in the ridership of its existing flights, while TransAsia said any expansion of its services will depend on market demand.
China Airlines (CAL), Taiwan's largest carrier, said it is optimistic about the greater air links under the new deal and that it will evaluate whether it is time to enter the market.

Rather than bring in a new player during yesterday's first phase of the Major League Soccer re-entry draft, the Crew brought back one from last season.
Shortly before not using its selection in the draft, the Crew announced that it had signed midfielder Tony Tchani nine days after it declined his contract option for the 2013 season.
"He's still a young player," technical director Brian Bliss said of the 23-year-old Tchani. "He's still got a ways to go in his development, but he's got natural ability. We've seen it in spurts here and there through the course of the year. He's somebody we think can help us and even get better."
Acquired from Toronto on July 15, 2011, Tchani missed the rest of the regular season because of a knee injury before making his debut in the Crew's first-round playoff loss to Colorado. An illness wiped out much of his offseason, and he reported to preseason training clearly behind in his conditioning.
Tchani stayed healthy this season and had two goals and two assists in 22 games, including 14 starts.
A Generation adidas player, Tchani's contract did not count against the salary cap when the Crew acquired him. That changed last season when he graduated from the program and the Crew was responsible for his entire contract. For 2012, his guaranteed salary was $209,000.
Specific details were not released, but Bliss said Tchani's renegotiated contract was more cap-friendly.
"We had an opportunity to re-do his deal that was more reasonable to us and fair to him, as well," he said.
Chicago was the only team to make a selection in the draft, taking former D.C. United forward Maicon Santos. The Fire must pay Santos the 2013 option United did not exercise.
Bliss said the Crew has not made much progress in re-signing any of the other six players whose options were not renewed or the three players whose contracts were up at the end of the season. In addition, the team is waiting on paperwork for an unnamed defender from South America or Central America that the Crew is planning to sign.
"It's in his court," Bliss said.

Easy Ways to Include Fruits and Vegetables Into Your Day
- Microwave frozen vegetables such as broccoli, peas, or green beans for an easy side dish dinner.
- Eat more colors! (red peppers, purple grapes, green apples, white cauliflower and oranges).
- Add frozen vegetables such as broccoli, peas, and carrots to soups and stews.
- Add vegetables to casseroles, stews, rice dishes, or spaghetti sauces.
- Slice bananas, canned peaches, or frozen berries on cereal, or add to yogurt.
- Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers carrots, spinach or onions to sandwiches.
- Cut raw veggies such as carrots, celery, and pepper strips into sticks and store in the refrigerator Add a healthy dip for a quick snack.
- Add a variety of vegetables to pizza. Pepper, onions and tomatoes are just a few choices.
- Encourage your child to choose their own fruit when shopping.
- Instead of eating French fries, bake or microwave a sweet potato.
- Make a fruit salad for dessert.
- Try fun snacks like fresh fruit dipped in fruit yogurt.
- Enjoy baked chips with salsa.
- Fill up on fewer calories; add lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables to your sandwich and leave off the cheese.
- Try a new fruit or vegetable recipe every week.
- Try a side salad with low fat dressing instead of fries and save over 200 calories.
- Dried fruits make a great snack.
How to store leftovers
- Put leftovers in the fridge as soon as possible, but definitely within 2 hours of cooking. If you leave leftovers out for too long at room temperature, bacteria can quickly multiply, turning your delightful dish into a food poisoning disaster.
- Store leftovers in containers with lids that can be snapped tightly shut. Bowls or tins are OK for storing leftovers, but be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep the food from drying out.
- Store large amounts of leftovers in several small shallow containers instead of one large container. This allows the food to cool faster and is also easier to heat up.
- Eat any leftovers within 3 to 5 days or freeze them. Don't freeze any dishes that contain uncooked fruit or veggies, hard-cooked eggs, or mayonnaise.
- Eat frozen leftovers within 2 months.
- If you're freezing leftovers, freeze them in one- or two-portion servings, so they'll be easy to take out of the freezer, pop in the microwave, and eat.
- Don't fill storage bowls all the way to the top; when food is frozen, it expands. Leave a little extra space - about 1/2 inch (about 13 millimeters) should do it.

School lunches your kids will love
What is a healthy lunch? Cut fruits and/or veggies, lean meat or peanut-butter sandwiches on whole-grain bread, low or nonfat dairy products.
Portion size is important when planning lunches and recipes for your children. Here's a general guide for grade school lunch portion sizes:
- Two to three ounces of lean meat and cheese
- One or two slices of bread OR 1/2 cup grain or rice
- One to two different fruits or vegetables
- 1 cup milk or 6-8 oz yogurt (make sure dairy is low-fat)
Some ideas
- Sandwiches: lean cold cuts such as turkey or ham, with a slice of cheese on whole grain bread, topped with spinach, lettuce, tomato, or other veggies
- Peanut butter and jelly on whole grain bread
- Tuna fish sandwich on whole grain bread
- Wraps made with whole wheat tortillas, containing either lean cold cuts or cheese slices topped with veggie slices
- Quesadilla slices made with cheese and chicken or vegetables
- Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip
- Trail mix made with cereals, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit or raisins, and a few chocolate morsels
- Low-fat yogurt with berries or try soy yogurt if lactose intolerant
- Low fat cheese spread on whole wheat crackers
- Low fat cheese cubes or low-fat cottage cheese
- Individual serving-sized packages of low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, or yogurt smoothies
- For the vegetarian: mini-burritos made with rice and black beans or low-fat refried beans in a tortilla with tomato salsa (heated or eaten cold)
- Whole wheat pitas stuffed with fresh vegetables and hummus or cheese
- Baked chips, soy crisps, or pretzels are a better choice than regular potato chips or cheese puffs
- Water or drinks made with water and a splash of cranberry, peach, grape, or other 100% fruit juice are healthier than sodas
- Low-fat milk
- Homemade air-popped popcorn flavored with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese is healthier than most pre-packaged or microwave popcorn.
Fruits and Vegetables
Children will more likely eat their fruit and veggies when they are cut up or already small in size. Some ideas:
- Slices of apple with peanut butter
- Cherries, kiwi slices, orange slices, cut up melon, berries
- Pineapple chunks with low-fat cottage cheese
- Seedless grapes
- Fruit salad
- Fruit leathers
- Single portion-sized cups of unsweetened apple sauce or fruit without added sugar or syrup
- Baby carrots with hummus or low-fat dip
- Cut up bell peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower are good for dipping in a low-fat ranch dip
- Celery sticks with low-fat dip or peanut butter
- Cherry tomatoes
- Top sandwiches with spinach or lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts, onions
Make sure it is 100% juice and give less than 12 oz in a day.
Pre-packaged items
Keep in mind that prepackaged lunches you can buy in the grocery store are convenient, but are often higher in calories, fat, sugar and sodium then meals that you prepare yourself. They are also usually more expensive.
Have children make a list of their favorite foods from each major food group: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy and lean meat. Have them choose at least one food from the list each day. By giving them a choice, it's more likely they'll actually eat the lunch.
Healthy Snack Ideas for Kids
Try these quick and easy snacks for during and after school:
- Any cut fresh vegetable or mix of vegetables (carrot sticks or baby carrots, celery stalks, cucumber slices, radishes, pepper slices, bite size broccoli or cauliflower pieces)
- Add a tasty dip, like salsa or low fat ranch dressing, in a small container for dipping veggies
- Fresh fruit washed and sliced
- Apple slices with peanut butter
- Fruit cups or canned fruit in its own juices
- Dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries) mixed with nuts
- Low fat yogurt with fresh or frozen berries
- Hummus with whole wheat crackers or pita bread
- Whole grain granola bars or a cup of whole grain cereal in a zip up bag

These snacks are great anytime of the day or as part of a healthy lunch.
Tips for Eating at Restaurants
1. Avoid buffets
- All-you-can-eat buffets lead to overeating.
2. Stick to the light menu/Make careful menu selections
- Many restaurants indicate healthy choices on their menus, and most sit-down places will modify menu items at your request.
- If you don't know what's in a dish or don't know the serving size, ask.
- Main courses which have been baked, broiled, roasted, poached or steamed will be healthier than anything fried.
- Salads with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and light dressings will be better than salads with croutons, cheeses, meats and heavy dressings.
3. Don't be afraid to special order
- Ask for your vegetables and main dishes to be served without the sauces.
- Ask if things are fried or cooked in oil or butter – if they are, see if you can order them baked, roasted, or steamed with less added fat.
- Instead of French fries, request a double order of a vegetable or a side salad. If you can't get a substitute, just ask that the high-fat food be left off your plate.
- Order a fruit cup for an appetizer or the breakfast melon for dessert. Instead of a dinner entree, combine a salad with a low-fat appetizer.
- Many restaurants are happy to accommodate your requests.
4. Watch portion size
- At a typical restaurant, a single serving provides enough calories for at least two meals.
- If it is possible, order a smaller portion (often called 'half sizes').
- If you can't order smaller portions, it is a good rule of thumb to leave at least one-third to one-half of the meal on your plate.
- Or, separate your meal before you start eating (you can even ask for a to-go container right away).
5. Share
- Sharing entrees, appetizers and desserts with dining partners is a great idea. It allows you to sample something that you really want to have while also helping you avoid the temptation to overindulge.
- If you are sharing with a friend or your partner, your portion size is automatically reduced and there is less available to eat.
- It is still important to make good menu choices, but sharing might make dessert (or something else indulgent) more of an option.
6. Order sauce and dressing on the side
- If you ask for sauces and dressings on the side, you can control the amount that you eat.
- Often you can use less than is normally used and still enjoy the same taste.
7. Remember the big picture
- Think of eating out in the context of your whole diet. If it is a special occasion or a fun social event and you know you want to order your favorite meal at a nice restaurant, cut back on your earlier meals that day.
- Moderation is always key, but planning ahead can help you relax and enjoy your dining out experience without sacrificing good nutrition or diet control.
Eating On-the-Go
Many of us skip breakfast because we do not have time to prepare a meal. But breakfast offers us energy to get through the morning. Those who eat breakfast are better able to concentrate at work and school and are less likely overeat at other meals. Here are some examples of quick, healthy choices for a breakfast on-the-go.
- Grab a fruit cup or fresh fruit pieces.
- Keep a supply of low fat granola bars and trail mix handy.
- Mix low fat plain or vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit or cereal (like raisin bran or low fat granola).
- Stuff half a whole wheat pita with low fat cottage cheese and sliced peaches, pears, or banana.
- Top a raisin or whole grain bagel with fat free cream cheese and thin apple slices.
- Combine 1/4 cup low fat ricotta cheese with apple sauce and dash of cinnamon. Sprinkle a whole grain cereal on top.
- Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter on whole wheat bread and wrap it around a banana.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on pumpernickel bread.
- Blend 1/4 cup each of plain low fat yogurt and orange juice with 1/4 a banana and a few frozen berries.
Lunch and Dinner
Whether we are driving between meetings, squeezing in a 30 minute lunch break or racing between kids' after school events, there are days that we need to eat a meal on-the-go. Here are some helpful hints for making better choices:
- Expand your definition of fast food: deli sandwiches or wraps with lean meat (no cheese, no mayonnaise), burritos (no cheese, no sour cream), Greek Kebobs or pitas, and Chinese steamed vegetables with brown rice (ask for low sodium soy sauce) are tasty, convenient alternatives to the usual burgers and fries.
- At the deli or sub shop choose lean beef, ham, turkey or chicken on whole grain bread. Ask that only half of the normal amount of meat is put on your sandwich.
- Boost the nutrients in all kinds of sandwiches by adding tomato, lettuce, peppers, and other vegetables.
- Supermarkets are also a great alternative to fast food chains. Get a fresh sandwich at the deli counter or grab soup and salad at the salad bar.
- Pizza with tomato sauce, vegetable toppings, and low fat cheese is a great treat for adults and kids.
- Do not add a sugary, calorie-rich drink to your meal. Water is available everywhere and is good for you. You can also try skim or low fat milk or unsweetened iced tea instead of soda.
Sometimes fast food chains are unavoidable. But we can still choose to make better food selections. Here are some tips to choosing the best meals at fast food restaurants:
- Start by visiting fast food websites. All the major chains post nutrition information for their menu items on the website. Look at what you usually order and see if you can find some better choices. Compare calories, fat, sodium and fiber.
- Order the regular or kid-size portion. Mega-sized servings are most likely more than you need.
- Always order a side salad. You will be less likely to fill up on only the unhealthy items.
- Fried breaded chicken sandwiches are actually higher in fat and calories than a burger. Grilled chicken is the best option.
- Say no to special sauces, cheese, mayonnaise, and bacon. They only pack on calories, fat, and cholesterol.
- Pick a baked potato (hold the sour cream) instead of French fries. French fries do not count as a vegetable serving and are very high in fat.
- What to look for:
- Grilled, broiled or steamed
- Regular or junior size
- Low or non fat dressing
- Fresh vegetables and salads
- Unsweetened drinks
Snacks can be a source of extra calories throughout the day but they can also be a way to fit in healthy foods. Stock your car with bottled water and healthy snacks. Have a small snack before the cravings hit and you are less likely to pull into a fast food chain. Knowing what snacks are healthy and nutritious is important.
- Tuck portable nonperishable foods in your purse, briefcase or backpack for on-the-go snacking. Some examples are:
- Dried fruit
- Whole grain, trans fat free crackers
- Whole grain cereal
- Fig bars
- Low fat granola
- Fresh fruit
- 100% juice boxes
- Nuts
- Peanut butter crackers
- Raw vegetables
- Rice cakes
- Raisin bread
- Trail mix
- Fresh fruit is already packaged to go and always a convenient, nutritious snack.
- Stock up on snack foods while grocery shopping: cottage cheese, yogurt, minicarrots (peeled and washed), precut vegetables, fresh fruit.
- Supermarkets can also serve as a fast food break while on-the-go. Look for low fat dairy snacks, fresh vegetables and fruits, a small salad, or soup.

Job Opening: Changing of the Guard at C.I.C.L.E.
The good news is that this means that a new position has opened for a new leader to step up. C.I.C.L.E. is hiring a new managing director to, take the lead in programming rides and other events, update the C.I.C.L.E. website, and basically handle the day-to-day maintenance of the non-profit. I have a copy of the job listing available here for anyone's that's interested in applying. Their hoping to have the new managing director on-board by the middle of next month.
C.I.C.L.E.'s letter:
Since the birth of C.I.C.L.E. roughly 8 years ago, it has been kindly nurtured and inspired with the heart and soul that only a founder, similar to a loving mother, can do. Shay Sanchez, founder of C.I.C.L.E. and long distance bicycle athlete didn't turn into a bicycle commuter and advocate overnight. Instead, in 2001, she was abruptly diagnosed with Lupus, a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs, at the height of her athletic peak, and forced to find a new lifestyle. Shay found that she could increase her muscle strength and stamina by taking short trips by bicycle and it was these short commute that sparked a flame inside her. She began to notice that there were no prominent educational resources available to help initiate or support a bicycle commuter lifestyle, and it was this new lifestyle that was creating hope, despite her serious health concerns.
In 2002, Shay partnered with Liz Elliot, bicycle and business extraordinaire, to start a website resource page that developed into a blog page called C.I.C.L.E. Feedback began rolling in from across the world on how amazingly helpful this C.I.C.L.E. website was. Because Shay and Liz were in LA and LA Critical Mass riders, they began to outreach and develop a small group of followers, who also believed there was a need for a support system for bicycle commuters, and that bicycle commuting was and is a way to create healthy streets, bodies, and a planet. These visionaries became a support system for C.I.C.L.E.
Over the years, C.I.C.L.E. has seen some of its key players come and go, but the message has remained the same. Put your heart into the community and it will take care of you. C.I.C.L.E. has commenced many successful ventures such as the first ever "Life Can Be So Car-Free" campaign and kickoff event in Downtown LA. This event showed Los Angeles that it was ready for a Car-Free message. Shortly thereafter, C.I.C.L.E. launched 'One Mile At A Time', a campaign focused on encouraging short trips within your neighborhood. This program inspired one of our most successful programs, Urban Expeditions, which is a monthly ride series centered on a short, community bicycle trip highlighting some of the best and most interesting sites a neighborhood has to offer. Next up on the C.I.C.L.E. success timeline is the Bikes in the City workshop series. C.I.C.L.E. has a long-time commitment to bicycle education and Liz and Shay created some of the most progressive and influential workshop training methods around. From our 'Learn to Ride' class to 'Advanced Bike Handling Skills', C.I.C.L.E. has really taken bicycle education to the next level. During this period, we also began a strong partnership with the City of Pasadena and launched Bike Week Pasadena over 4 years ago. In more recent months, C.I.C.L.E. initiated the NELA campaign, working to improve bicycling facilities in Northeast LA. My apologies for leaving more milestones and important efforts out of this list, but this is a great glimpse of C.I.C.L.E. over the last 8 years.
We continue to change lives on a daily basis which is the motivation behind what we do. It is a sad day that we must look to replace these two heroic figures, but the time has come for Shay and Liz to take more of an advisory role in the organization. Shay has been undergoing a relapse in her health condition which has put her in the hospital on a regular basis and dropped her immune system to a very low point. Liz has concentrated her efforts on maintaining their quality of life and keeping spirits high. Their hearts still run C.I.C.L.E. orange and they are still vitally connected to the work C.I.C.L.E. is doing. We have Shay and Liz to thank for the creation and development of this great community experiment called C.I.C.L.E. This organization has a strong foundation, built on love and having fun, and we are set for a bright future ahead. They truly deserve a standing ovation for all that C.I.C.L.E. has done, continues to do, and will do for Los Angeles and beyond. Thanks, Ladies! Thank you so much!
If you would like to reach out to Shay for well wishes and gratitude, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last weekend at club swap meet, I saw an HBR 16 home made Receiver, (60's vintage QST project). The builder had taken a stock National dial, and added a Jackson Bros.

Puck after puck, Coyotes forward Wojtek Wolski swiped his stick over the red dot, working on faceoffs during the summer.
He was preparing for a move to center, something the Coyotes coaching staff suggested after the departures of Matthew Lombardi and Robert Lang.
But with a jump in the depth chart at the center position near the conclusion of the summer, Wolski may start the season exactly where he ended it - at left wing.
"I don't really have a preference," Wolski said. "Doesn't matter. Wherever they put me, I have to make sure I play well. Whatever happens, I'll make the best of it."
When Lombardi signed as a free agent with the Nashville Predators on July 2 and the Coyotes opted not to bring back the veteran Lang, Wolski seemed like the obvious choice to transition to center if the Coyotes weren't successful in luring in a centerman via free agency or a trade. Not only has Wolski played center in juniors and sparingly with his former team, the Colorado Avalanche, but he adds a punch of skill that the Coyotes would like to feature on their first line.
In true Don Maloney fashion, the general manager plucked a steady, experienced center from the bed of free agents, signing Eric Belanger at a bargain price four days before camp officially started and adding former Vancouver Canucks center Kyle Wellwood on a tryout.
With Martin Hanzal and Vernon Fiddler already in the mix and youngster Kyle Turris garnering looks, a healthy competition ensued at training camp.
"Turris had played very well and Wellwood's played very well, and we have three other centers so that might push (Wolski) back out," coach Dave Tippett said.
But Tippett isn't ready to call the Wolski experiment at center a wash; he thought the winger held his own during training camp at the position, even though the responsibilities at center are different and a bit more demanding than that of a wing.
"It's a little bit of everything," Tippett explained. "The faceoffs are certainly a part of it, but then you're looking at the D-zone stuff; there's a little more to do down there. You gotta be a little more active. A winger can kinda come back, and you're up in your one corner there taking care of business. But a centerman has a lot to do, a lot of reads, a lot more action. The puck follows them around a lot more.
"It wasn't as if we just said, 'Oh, this is not gonna work.' But it turns into a numbers game: How are we gonna put our best players on the ice?"
Wherever the team decides to slot him, Wolski no doubt will be in the group of top-six forwards. And whatever role the Coyotes need him to take on, that's fine by him.
"The coaching staff knows what they're doing, and whatever they ask of me I'm willing to do," Wolski said.
Well, almost anything.
"If they asked me to play goalie, then maybe I'd be a little hesitant."

Ribiero And Monforte Win 2012 Ultraman World Championships
- By Erin Beresini
- Published November 27, 2012
Alexandre Ribiero and Amber Monforte won the 28th edition of the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. It was the sixth Ultraman World Championship title for Ribiero, 47, a coach from Brazil, and the third for Monforte, 34, a registered nurse from Nevada, who holds the women's course record.
Day One: 6.2-mile swim and 90-mile bike
A strong current made this year's swim extremely difficult. Ribiero swam nearly half an hour slower than last year, exiting the water in 3:13:56. He followed that up with a 5:14:57 bike for a total time of 8:28:53 to lead the race on day one. Monforte swam a 3:31:31 and biked 5:36:05 for a total day one time of 9:07:36, which put her in second place to Kathy Winkler, 46, going into day two.
Day Two: 171.4-mile bike
Ribiero took charge again on day two, completing the challenging bike course—it has 8,600 feet of climbing—in 7:36:55, nearly 15 minutes ahead of second-place finisher, Miro Kregar. Monforte took over the women's lead, blazing through the bike course in 8:09:27, putting her more than 30 minutes ahead of Winkler in the overall standings following day two.
Day Three: 52.4-mile run
Ribiero commanded day three as well, running the double marathon in 6:45:24 to take the day three win and the overall Ultraman World Champ title with a total time of 22:51:12. Monforte's strong day two bike gave her the lead she needed to win the overall women's title in 25:29:09, despite running nearly 40 minutes slower than the women's double marathon winner, Yasuko Miyazaki, 35, who completed the run in 7:32:12. Monforte was also the third finisher overall out of 27.

Ilha Brasil
World Pacific
There's plenty of variety and coloring on this Brazilian jazz outing by vocalist/songwriter Joyce. "Rodando a Baiana" has a surging batucada segment. "Paraiso" and "Oasis" are delicate ballads with violins, cello, and viola. "Feijao com Arroz" lives up to its title, a spicy musical stew. On "Viola de Prata" Joyce's high-pitched vocals joust with pianist Sizao Machado. Other instrumentalists include reedman Teco Cardoso, trumpeter Chico Oliveira and trombonist Vittor Santos. - Marcela Breton

NewsCon Edison Media Relations
For Immediate Release: January 28, 2009
10:45 a.m.
Con Edison To Customers: Let The Sun Shine In
NEW YORK – Con Edison engineers are helping customers go green and save money with New York State's new net metering law, which encourages the development of green energy sources, such as solar panels, and allows the customer to sell excess electricity back to utilities.
One of Con Edison's first and largest net metering customers is the innovative Brooklyn design and consulting firm - Big Sue LLC - the first net metered non-residential customer on the company's network (underground) distribution system. Called "Big Sue," the project is a 40 kW solar array that supplies power to a building and its commercial tenants at 925 Bergen St., and 1024 Dean St., in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
"Big Sue" could be the largest installation in the country to be net metered on a network grid. Company engineers are leading the industry in overcoming the challenges of connecting net metered power to a network system. Several other customers are eyeing larger net meter systems in New York City and Westchester County.
"Con Edison encourages customers like Big Sue to find innovative ways to be energy efficient and provide clean, renewable energy while connected to our grid," said John Mucci, Con Edison's vice president of engineering and planning.
"Con Edison has been a leader in implementing the new net metering rules and been very helpful in enabling us to net meter our 40 kW installation so we can realize the maximum value of our installation – even prior to the law requiring implementation," said Susan Boyle and Benton Brown, owners of Big Sue, LLC.
The company has engineers dedicated to assisting customers and their contractors with installation of solar projects and other renewable systems, Mucci added.
In addition to the New York State Energy Research and Development Association (NYSERDA) incentives which helped to fund the Big Sue installation, the state net metering law, New York City property tax credits, and the extension of federal tax incentives are expected to increase the installation of solar systems.
The U.S. Department of Energy has projected that solar power has the potential to be the largest contributor -- up to 28 percent -- of the nation's renewable energy portfolio.
New York City highlights solar in PlaNYC – a vision for a greener, cleaner city.
Con Edison and New York City's Economic Development Corporation have been working with the Department of Energy's National Renewable Electric Laboratories to address the company's unique distribution system and the technical issues associated with connecting renewable energy and expanding customer options to go green.
"Con Edison's leadership in promoting the expanded net metering law supports New York City's PlaNYC goal of increasing New York City's clean power supply. It also helps build demand for solar in the City which should bring down prices and help the local solar industry to grow,",said Jim Gallagher, Senior Vice President, Energy Policy, New York City Economic Development Corporation.

Hello again:I just received my 3rd pair of the Jade earrings, this time I bought the Red Jade.My comments are the same, the earrings are lovely, colour is good, backing a tad tight, but that's good. The Silver is pretty, accents the Jade. I am very happy with the earrings, won't be buying more, only because I have the 3 colours I wanted.

Great Earrings
By September Girl
from Bathurst, (New Brunswick)
Just received my earrings a week or so ago to go with my jade ring and was very pleased with the color, size and although the butterfly is a little tight, I will use another one. Always very pleased with my purchases from TSC.
Jade Sterling Silver Stud Earrings
I ordered a pair of the green Jade earrings, and a pair of the Purple Jade earrings, they arrived today. I am really happy with them, am wearing the green Jade at the moment. The backings are a tad tight, but better than being loose.I find the earrings are really pretty, the stone is nice, colour is good, and overall I think it was a good purchase.So unless they fall apart, I'm totally happy.
Not impressed
By BARBARA
from CONCEPTION BAY SOUTH
These are just OK. For the money, I guess that they are worth it, but I would rather invest a bit more and get something that I am happier withThe backs are VERY tight. I would send them back but the shipping fees just isn't worth it. Perhaps I can find a different pair of backs that will fit better from some jewellery findings that I have...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
A very nice stone in the setting, needs better glue to stay
By Belle
from Calgary
I ordered two pairs of these earrings, at different times. In any event all four stones fell out, and I suspect it was because the glue was not good enough. Fortunaly for me, I found the lost stones, and re-glued them in with a good quality jewelry glue.The only way I would recommend these earrings to a friend, is to tell them about the faulty glue, and will probably have to re-glue them.

Green Jade Earrings!
By FARHEE
from SASKATOON, SK
Just got my green jade earrings today. The clasp is a bit tight, but doesn't bother me. I am loving the size and color of the jade. I got so many pieces from this line now. Would recommend it definitely to all the jade lovers.

Love, but....
By Summers58
from Alberta
I absolutely love the colour of the earrings. They are a white/green and very flattering on any skin tone. However...woooow, the tightness of the butterfly clasp is like putting a bolt onto the back of this earring. I thought some reviews were exaggerating, but it is ridiculous. I could barely get it on and off, and was scared I would rip my ear! I had to switch to a backing I got off a cheap pair that works sooo much better. With the backing that comes with it, it makes the earring stick out like crazy because it only goes up to the ridge on it. Need to change that, Jade of Yesteryear!
By Shay D
I purchased these to go with 2 other pieces I have. They are lavender and are just perfect for what I wanted them for. If people have problems with the butterfly backing perhaps they can try the plastic ones instead.

Not what I expected
By Lorna
from St. Catharines, Ontario
Just received the green jade studs today. I could hardly get the butterfly brace off to put the studs in my ear. It is extrememly tight and does not fit over the shaft of the stud at all. I was also disappointed in the colour of the jade. It is white/green, and not what I expected. Not going to send them back, because the re-stocking fee and shipping and taxes are taken away from the amount received as a return. I will look for a bigger butterfly brace. At least I know I am wearing real jade, which is nice.
Very nice
By Jay
from Ottawa
Very nice., but the butterfly bracing is to small and have a hard time to put them in ( to tight). I will look for a replacement of the butterfly. They do look nice.

Named for the Revolutionary War era fort built under General Nathanael Greene, Fort Greene is a dynamic neighborhood with much to offer. The park has two war memorials, playgrounds and tennis courts, and hosts events year-round.
Several famous writers have called the neighborhood home, including Walt Whitman, Jumpha Lahiri, and Richard Wright, who wrote Native Son while a resident.
There is a plethora of restaurants to choose from, the newest being The General Greene (remember him?). French and African cuisines are specialties, but you can find everything from burgers to Mediterranean to Mexican along the tree-lined streets.
Shop for snazzy threads, retro décor and libations at a variety of stores, and discover collectibles at the Brooklyn Flea. Fresh produce is in abundance Saturdays at the Fort Greene Park farmer's market, and in August and September, the Urban Arts Market offers live music, performance and food on select Sundays.
Spend a day exploring Fort Greene, and then bone-up on your Revolutionary War history or read one of the above authors by visiting your local library. It IS Greener on this side!
By now, you've probably heard of the Montauk Monster. This mysterious story, first broken by Gawker, even made its way to CNN. And though we now have an answer that should send the whole story back out to sea, I think this one is far from over.
I don't doubt that this is the latest example of an outrageous stunt used to garner attention for a product. Perhaps you've recently seen ads for the "Vampire Rights Amendment" or a beverage called "Tru Blood" that promote a new HBO show. Or maybe you were one of the drivers stuck in traffic caused by Ray-Ban's latest stunt.
But all the cards were revealed on this one suspiciously soon. Supposedly, the Montauk Monster is a promotion for a movie being released in winter 2009. It seems like a miss to crack this Loch Ness-sized mystery so far in advance. And just take a look at the movie's website. It's surprisingly limited, especially considering the monstrous stunt behind it.
If you ask me, this "revelation" is just a decoy in what is sure to be a much larger-scale stunt. The jury's still out on what it could be for, but one thing is for sure. We haven't had a great mystery like this in quite some time.
Until all is revealed, check out some Brooklyn monsters. Takeshi Yamada, creator of creepy things galore, has a display of work at Coney Island Library that features Halloween curiosities, carnivorous plants and mushrooms, monsters of the Arctic Sea, and many other rare marine animals.
A tree isn't the only thing that grows in Brooklyn. This summer Brooklyn can add yet another notch to its belt. The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will host the brother-sister fencing champs, Keeth and Erinn Smart. As life-long Brooklyn natives, the duo honed their fencing skills right here in NYC, attending the New York Fencing School.
These jousting siblings are no strangers to the Olympics; both have competed in past Olympic Games. Sister, Erinn, was on the 2004 Olympic team and brother Keeth competed in both the 2000 and 2004 games. In 2003, Keeth also became the first U.S. Fencer ever to be ranked No. 1 in the World after winning the silver medal at the World Cup competition in Athens, Greece.
If you didn't make this year's Olympic Team, you can still catch the 2008 games from August 8-24. If you would like to learn more about the art of fencing, make your way over to your local library. EN GUARDE…
Scott McCloud calls himself "comics' leading theorist or a deranged lunatic." You can decide what he really is when this legendary comic book author stops by Central Library. He'll discuss his groundbreaking work which includes his popular first series, Zot!, and his widely popular book, Understanding Comics, which has been translated into 16 languages.
McCloud also invented the "24-hour comic." Recognizing how drawn out (no pun intended) the comic book creation process could be, McCloud undertook the creative endeavor of drawing, writing and completing a 24-page comic book in 24 hours. He extended the challenge to others, and it soon became a popular trend. In 2004, the first 24 Hours Comics Day was held, attracting comics creators from all over the world. There is even one held in Italy.

The Boston Bruins have led the Montreal Canadiens for a cumulative 11 minutes and 39 seconds through two games in the NHL's Atlantic Division Final. Conversely, the Habs have led on three occasions for an aggregate 56:54.
Yet an outburst that saw the Bruins morph a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 triumph within 9:04 has altered the makeup of the series.
Saturday afternoon's turnaround has drawn a 1-1 knot for the contesting parties to pack on their journey north of the border.
Besides coming home, the good news for the Canadiens is that they have a rare three-day gap between Games 2 and 3. The bonus off-night lessens the likelihood of residual momentum sticking for the Bruins at the Bell Centre by Tuesday's faceoff.
Game 2 did, however, generate and accelerate a few talking points worth carrying over as the series switches venues. The change of scenery itself lends a few stand-alone keys to the matchup as well.
The upper hand in the best-of-seven bout is up for grabs for the time-honored rivals.
Before they pursue that on Tuesday night, here is the latest grab bag of three keys for each team.

Presidential Politics
October 27, 1991
Was someone complaining that there weren't any Democratic presidential candidates? What a difference a couple of weeks can make. There are plenty now. And what this field lacks in star quality, it makes up for with ensemble acting. Joining the cast last week - excuse the metaphor, but it was inevitable - were two veteran actors: Tom Laughlin and Jerry Brown. Laughlin gained famed as the star of "Billy Jack" movies in the 1970s. Will he overcome the odds and karate-chop his way to the nomination?
A Real Candidate
October 2, 1991
Play Democratic Party campaign consultant for a day, and describe what you want in a presidential candidate: Someone more palatable than Iowa's liberal Sen. Tom Harkin. Someone with more experience than Virginia's Gov. Doug Wilder. Someone with more presence than former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas. That little list accounts only for those politicians who, before Monday, had announced their availability for the nomination. Other things you might look for are a war record and sex appeal.
Harkin On The Left
September 19, 1991
There were the last two World Series of baseball: four-game sweeps and one earthquake. There was the 1990 Super Bowl: San Francisco 55, Denver 10. Ah, but those were close contests, all. Try these numbers: 520 to 17; 489 to 49; 525 to 13; and 426 to 111. The larger numbers are the electoral votes the Republican nominee received for president of the United States in 1972, 1980, 1984 and 1988. The smaller ones are vote totals of the Democratic nominee. We present these numbers to remind Democrats of what they will likely see in November 1992 if they nominate U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa to be their candidate for president.
Wilder's N.h. Trip May Decide '92 Plans
By BOB KEMPER Staff Writer
August 27, 1991
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder today begins a campaign-like sweep of New Hampshire to gauge voters' interest in him and his agenda. The trip "is bound to have an impact" on his decision whether to seek the Democratic presidential nomination, he told reporters at the Capitol. "Sure, I would not be going there if it would have none." Plans to conduct a poll before Wilder's visit were canceled because the pollster now thinks it's a bad idea to poll in August when many voters are on vacation, said Paul Goldman, chairman of the state Democratic Party and Wilder's main political adviser.
Candidate Wilder
September 14, 1991
Only L. Douglas Wilder would announce his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on Friday the 13th. For the superstitious, that timing invites bad luck. And besides, Fridays are poor days for media exposure as everyone wants to pack up and head out of town for the weekend. But if there is one thing Wilder has established in his long public career, it's that he's never afraid to break the rules, to go against the conventional wisdom, to revel in the role of underdog.
Clinton Has Raised More Than Foes, Claims Funds
By Los Angeles Times
January 3, 1992
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton Thursday claimed $831,000 in federal funds to match money he raised in December - nearly as much as the total of his five main rivals - in the latest indication of his campaign's ability to build on a surge of good publicity over the last six weeks. With the race for the Democratic nomination about to enter the cash-intensive period of heavy television advertising leading up to the first primaries - in New Hampshire Feb. 18 and in more than half the states in March - the matching funds filings are the latest information on how the candidates are faring.
Another Plan?
June 5, 1995
When he was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, Bill Clinton promised to cut taxes for the middle class. He used that promise to pound Paul Tsongas right out of the race, as Tsongas stood steadfastly by his unpopular insistence that a tax cut was poor policy and that the nation should focus on deficit reduction. When Clinton became president, he also became a convert to the importance of deficit reduction and dropped his plan for a tax cut. His inconsistency could be excused, because at least Clinton was now expounding responsible budget policy.
Rockefeller Is Ready To Run
By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK Columnists
July 1, 1991
Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, who publicly says he won't make up his mind whether to run for president until August, is privately confident he can win the Democratic nomination. Rockefeller sees a limited field against him: Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and ex-Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. Against such opposition, Rockefeller figures he can ride his national health care issue to the nomination. Such calculations omit two big names: New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and Sen. Al Gore of Tennessee.
Buying Access
January 27, 1992
Democratic presidential candidate Paul Tsongas, commenting on how politicians say that just because they accept contributions from political action committees doesn't mean they're "owned" by the PACs, suggests, "Well, maybe they're renting you." The unhappy influence of PACs on the electoral process, both nationally and in Virginia, has been noted many times, of course, but more evidence of their flaws is always welcome. On the state level, the case of newly elected Sen. Thomas Norment is instructive.
Clinton Leads Pack In Virginia Caucuses
By ESTHER MORGO and DAVID LERMAN Daily Press
April 12, 1992
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton ran strongly in Democratic caucus voting in Virginia Saturday, but turnout was meager at some gatherings and support for uncommitted slates was substantial. With most Saturday's caucuses reporting, Clinton had 52.4 percent of the local delegates, an uncommitted slate had 31.5 percent and former California Gov. Jerry Brown had 16.0 percent. Clinton captured almost 60 percent of the delegates chosen on the Peninsula, while Brown got less than 10 percent.
