The non monumental inscription pages from this website have recently been moved to a new home at www.kirkcudbright.co. It takes a while for search engines etc to catch up
This is a relatively new website, one of two sites, building into a resource containing a variety of information to assist people researching their family trees where their ancestors came from the Stewartry (or County) of Kirkcudbright, or the local history of the county, as it existed prior to 1975 when county boundaries were removed and it became part of Dumfries and Galloway. Our sister website, which contains a comprehensive gazetteer of the county and lots of history and genealogy articles and links, can be found at www.kirkcudbright.co.
Monumental Inscriptions (M.I.'s)
During 2001 and 2002 all inscriptions on gravestones in the following parishes were transcribed and the gravestones photographed; Borgue, Buittle, Colvend, Parton, Rerrick, Tongland and Twynholm. In 2006/7 the inscriptions in Anwoth and Girthon parishes were photographed. All inscriptions can be viewed and searched by selecting the relevant parish from the menu above, or use the Site Search link to search the complete database..
Site Search
Use this link to search all monumental Inscriptions on this website.
Surnames beginning with Mc (eg. McCartney) often appeared in old documents in the form M' (eg. M'Cartney). This website commonly converts M' to Mc to assist search engine to retrieve relevant surnames.

RUSH: Regina in Westchester County in New York. You're next, Open Line Friday. Hello.
CALLER: Hi there, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Fine. Thank you.
CALLER: I wanted to let you know that as a feminist of a particular group of feminists, Cuomo has told us we can leave the state. He made a comment a couple of weeks back that people who are pro-life who believe in the Second Amendment, who believe defending marriage and so forth, they should leave New York, 'cause New York is not a place for them. And it so happens that I am a Feminist for Life. And this man just didn't say that, but he actually put his money where his mouth is, because he has in the Senate right now, it already passed the assembly, a bill that is supposed to be a women's equality bill. It's called Women's Equality Act, and there are 10 sections to it, and the Senate broke it up into 10 separate bills.
Last June they passed nine of those. But the tenth one -- and mind you, the assembly passed all 10 of them, and the assembly's two-to-one liberal, you know, it's two Democrats to every one Republican. But, anyway, the senate broke it up because they wanted to pass nine of those women's equality bill sections, but the tenth they did not. And this is where women are really second-class citizens. And it's not being put out there by the media. In this tenth section of the Women's Equality Act, which is similar in its speech or in its wording to the Reproductive Health Act, which is S-438, the Women's Equality Act number 10 is S-5881. Anyway, in that, it let's people have abortions for all nine months of pregnancy. And --
RUSH: Regina, what are we talking about here?
CALLER: We're talking about what Cuomo is doing, besides just saying get out of New York state --
RUSH: Yeah, but he walked that back, didn't he? Didn't he say he changed his mind about that and conservatives can stay, including pregnant women?
CALLER: He might have walked that back. I didn't hear it. But even if he walked it back, his pushing this thing which is extremely dangerous to women and except for Planned Parenthood and some very wealthy people who find abortion a religion even if it's women's dead bodies --
RUSH: You know, this is another glaring example. Okay, Cuomo's a liberal. The image is that liberals love women, women's rights and all this. Do you know that Planned Parenthood -- I may get some of this wrong. I saw it and I didn't print it out, but Planned Parenthood is urging women to get abortions for Valentine's Day. And this is what liberal Democrats support. The idea that liberal Democrats are looking out for women. Liberal Democrats, it's amazing the way they see women. I'm amused at this public perception that conservatives and Republicans are engaged in a War on Women, when in fact Democrats see women as basically just walking vaginas.
Democrats see women as nothing but walking vaginas looking to have sex every chance they get, and then they go get an abortion whenever they need one or they gotta give 'em birth control pills or whatever. If you listen to your average liberal Democrat talk about women, that's it. That's what they think the only thing women are concerned about is, is making sure they can have sex whenever they want to have it, and then they're covered, either with contraception or an abortion. And anybody that opposes that is obviously engaged in a War on Women. It's nonsense.
RUSH: Nancy Pelosi this morning on Now This News website, whatever the heck that is. But our show prep knows no bounds. We found it. Pelosi was being interviewed, it's an Instagram thing. She was being interviewed and the subject of marriage came up for some reason. Here's what she said about marriage.
PELOSI: I always say, you know, if you're getting married -- why are you getting married? Why would you get married? Why would anybody get married? In that the person that they love so much, that was irresistible, and they had to get married? I'm not a big one for rushing people into marriage as wonderful and happy as mine was.
RUSH: Why would anybody get married? Why? What does she know that the rest of us don't? Nancy Pelosi does nothing, thinks of nothing unless it goes through a political prism. Just like Henry Waxman. There's nothing these people do other than politics, or ideology, and so she said, "Why would anybody get married?" She's been married 50 years. I met her husband once at a cigar dinner.
He came up and said, "Hi. I'm Nancy Pelosi's husband," like I was supposed to be shocked or intimidated or something.
I said, "Wow, you!" His name was Paul. I said, "Nice to meet you," and we had a nice chat about what a tough job it is. (interruption) No, no. Being in Congress. Not her husband. What a top of job being in Congress was.

Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Actor-comedian-jazz aficionado extraordinaire Bill Cosby's the Cos of Good Music VIII grandly accentuated the 25th edition of the Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Initially, when the festival emcee conceived his dream all-star group for the event eight years ago, it seemed like a self-indulgent means to allow him to perform: playing light percussion and doing some minor band leading. These days, though, Cos is fully involved with the band, and he even has a little drum kit he plays throughout to supplement Ndugu Chancler's work. That's not really necessary, of course, but the point is that Cos has developed some chops of his own.
He needed them too, because this group was hard swinging and wasn't taking any prisoners. Bottom line: this group came to play. The all-star ensemble included top veterans, such as tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb, drummer Chancler, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, bassist Dwayne Burno, pianist Harold Mabern and alto saxophonist Keschia Potter. They opened with the spirited bebop classic "In Walked Bud" featuring Christlieb's resonating tenor, Henderson's triumphant bursts, along with Maben and Potter playing more somberly. Turning down the intensity a bit, Cos' group rendered "What a Little Moonlight Will do," which was highlighted by Hutcherson's trademark effervescent style. Mabern also was prominently featured along with Christlieb and Henderson, adding tangy accents that contributed to all the players collectively garnering strong audience response.
Potter, a rising star on the Southern California jazz scene, rose to the occasion by way of the standard "I Can't Get Started (Without You)." Through astounding, understated and mature playing, she too generated a buzz throughout the crowd. Cos took a break from his mini kit and approvingly looked on like a proud father, which he is, but not to her. Since it was actually Father's Day, the eight-piece band was in effect his gift to himself.
Just the same, he had a surprise up his sleeve that was indeed a present for all. It came in the way of 13-year old singer, Renee Olstead. The darling redhead won the bowl's heart and admiration--despite being in the company of the stellar players--and only did one song. But that was more than enough. Her opening a capella verse of "At Last," popularized by Etta James, literally had the bowl audience in suspended motion, before the band joined in for elegant accompaniment. This girl not old enough to drive has a colossal voice. Equally impressive, she has soul and poise that nicely complements her raw talent. After drawing a standing ovation, without a doubt she'll be back one day to do a full set. Cosby joked as she left, "Since she's only 13, she only knows one song."
Saturday featured conguero Poncho Sanchez and his mighty Latin jazz ensemble with the legendary James Moody as his special guest. Unfortunately, this headlining set didn't live up to expectations. Moody only did two numbers with them, and for the most part his playing was under amplified. That sadly made it hard to discern him from the group. For Lester Young's "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," however, Moody sounded better. The tune was essentially a hard-bop-meets-Latin-jazz encounter that was highlighted by George Ortiz's timbale solo. Additionally, the endearing legend didn't lend his highly appealing singing to the set, even though the bandleader did for the Chano Pozo number "Tin Tin Deo," and later for James Brown's R&B hit "Out-a-site." It's the title track for Sanchez's upcoming CD, which is adorned by Moody, Ray Charles and Sam Moore of Sam & Dave fame. Overall, generating interest in Ponchez's new recording seemed to be his main objective throughout his fast-paced, six-number set, which nevertheless aroused some audience members to do some partying.
Other mainstream highlights worth mentioning were Al Jarreau and Dave Brubeck's quartet doing "Take Five" together. When the silver-maned Brubeck, announced that Jarreau was joining his group to do probably jazz's most popular song, the audience erupted. That's not an easy feat, since they're typically more interested in chatting while consuming the powerful libations and scrumptious food that have become synonymous with the event. But when the vocalist zestfully scatted away, he invoked memories of his initial renditions of the tune that propelled him to popularity 25 years ago. For grandmaster Brubeck, who originally played Paul Desmond's classic in 1959, presently with alto saxophonist Bobby Militello doing soaring solo honors, he cannot ever do a concert without performing it. In truth, although the singer and pianist are drastically different in style and delivery, they're both forever bound to "Take Five."
Furthermore, bassist Dave Holland's quintet showed that through stellar musicianship and enticing rhythms, audiences would pay attention. Solos from saxophonist Chris Potter, vibraphonist Steve Nelson and trombonist Robin Eubanks were all remarkable, with the bandleader and drummer Billy Kilson admirably maintaining pulsating rhythms. Drummer Roy Haynes' adroit quartet, consisting of saxophonist Marcus Strickland, pianist Maritn Bejerano and bassist John Sullivan, grabbed the audience through song selection, featuring Thelonious Monk and Pat Metheny compositions. Better known as a pop/smooth-jazz artist, singer Boz Scaggs presented a relaxing segment of standards Saturday evening, which included a somewhat mellow version of his best known song, "Lowdown." Promising artistry was displayed in opening sets by the L.A. County High School for the Arts Jazz Ensemble on Saturday and the Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet on Sunday.
On Sunday, interesting and notable adjuncts came from trumpeter Bobby Rodriquez's Salsa Orchestra, comprised of 20 musicians. They boldly roared, interspersing big band and Latin rhythms with the bandleader's well-intended East L.A. homeboy-hubris proclamations. New Orleans-based Los Hombres Calientes, led by percussionist Bill Summers and trumpeter Irvin Mayfield, also scored on Sunday through funk grooves that mixed Latin jazz, Caribbean, African and Brazilian rhythms, along with New Orleans down-home soul. And commanding impressive attention was hardy vocalist Lizz Wright, who focused on low-key material in the early festival hours on Saturday.

The difference in vibrational entropy between chemically disordered and DO3-ordered Fe3Al was measured by calorimetry to be (0.10 ± 0.03) kB/atom at high temperatures, with the ordered alloy having the lower vibrational entropy. Analysis of the vibrational modes of the ordered and disordered alloys with a Born-von Kármán model showed that the lower vibrational entropy of the ordered alloy originates from high-frequency optical modes involving large-amplitude vibrations of the aluminum-rich sublattice.

Vets Commission Wants To Make Things Easier
Laramie, Wy – State veterans' organizations are banding together to form the Veterans' Coalition. Leaders say the purpose is to help connect veterans with benefits employment and health care. Members will include the veterans commission military and national guard representatives and other federal agencies. Currently wyoming's veterans' commission chair Lee Alley says veterans may have to visit several agencies throughout the state or may not learn about all the benefits available until it's too late.
Coalition members plan to meet again to determine how best to reach out to veterans both those recently returned as well as veterans of previous conflicts. Alley says one possibility will bringing coalition members to the veterans' commissions standing meetings around the state to give veterans a kind of one-stop-shopping experience.

The Women in the World Summit 2013, hosted by Tina Brown, editor of Newsweek and The Daily Beast, took place on April 4-5 at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater. The summit featured a multitude of speakers and performers including Dr. Hawa Abdi, Melanne Verveer, Meryl Streep, and Hillary Clinton. In her address, Clinton asserted that the rights of women represent "the unfinished business of the 21st century" in the United States and globally. Panel topics ranged from eyewitness accounts of violence in Syria to success stories of Latinas in America to building women leaders.
One major thread was a call for girls' education including for more schools for girls; for better educational programs, especially in STEM fields; and for engaging with men to change negative perspectives about the need for girls' education.
A session of the summit called "The Next Generation of Malalas" featured Khalida Brohi, Humairi Bachal, and Sharmeen OBaid Chinoy. Khalida Brohi, 24-year-old founder and director of the Sughar Women Program, works to end tribal violence against women in Pakistan. Humaira Bachal, founder and president of the Dream Foundation Trust, fights for the rights for girls' education through the Dream Model Street School, which educates over 700 students. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is an Academy Award and Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on human rights and women's issues. Her recent films include: Saving Face, Transgenders: Pakistan's Open Secret, and Pakistan's Taliban Generation. Brohi, Bachal, and Obaid Chinoy spoke of their work to bring basic educational rights to girls in communities which believe that outside influences will make their daughters sexually promiscuous and morally corrupt.

Fayette County Commission qualifying starts May 30
When the smoke clears on noon Friday, Fayette voters will have a clear picture of who will run for the three posts on the Fayette County Commission that will be up for grabs this year.
Qualifying for the posts begins Wednesday at 9 a.m. and ends at noon Friday. It was delayed a week to wait for the final word from the U.S. Justice Department on the new five-district map adopted by the commission in February.
The posts up for election this year are the Post 1 seat held by Robert Horgan, the Post 2 seat held by Herb Frady and the Post 3 seat held by Lee Hearn. Frady has already said he will not seek re-election this year as the 80-year-old incumbent is retiring from local politics.
The new map retains the at-large voting process, which means that every voter in the county has the opportunity to vote on all five commission posts.
The new map took a long route to approval after it was approved by the commission at a February special called meeting, but it failed to gain consideration by the Georgia Legislature this year.
The map was revived by court order of U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Batten after a federal lawsuit filed by Peachtree City attorney Rick Lindsey alleged that the old three-district map was wildly out of proportion in terms of the population in each district.
Batten approved the new five-district map, which has five districts of near-equal population, which allowed the county to petition the Justice Department for approval.
The Justice Department approval came Tuesday, May 22, but not until after Judge Batten signed an order to delay qualifying a week so the Justice Department had extra time to provide its decision.
County officials decided it was better to delay qualifying to make sure the new five-district map was thoroughly vetted than to proceed with qualifying for the commission seats with a map that hadn't been officially approved by the Justice Department.
Using the new map without the Justice Department's seal of approval could have opened the county up to lawsuits challenging the qualifying process, officials said.
The new five district map replaces the old three district map, which had three posts tied to the geographic districts while the remaining two posts only required a candidate to reside anywhere in Fayette County.
The retention of at-large voting for all five commission seats is significant in light of the pending district voting lawsuit filed in federal court by the local and national branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). That suit seeks to force the county commission and board of education to shift to district voting, a scheme in which voters would be allowed to vote for just one of the five representatives on each board.
The NAACP argues that by implementing district voting, the county commission and board of education could draw new district maps that would make it easier for a minority residents to be elected to a post on both boards.
The lawsuit is heading for a court hearing Wednesday with potential resolution of the suit later this year.

Nathaniel Weathers is giving his first book a second chance.
It's been a few years since Weathers published his first book, The Dark Nemesis, but an expanded and updated edition of the book will be released later this month.
"It's revised and re-edited and has a lot more information than the first book," Weathers said.
Lebanon, Kentucky will more than double its population Saturday, June 23, as participants of Kentucky's inaugural Warrior Dash and bikers participating in Chaser's Bike Rally and Car Show hit town.
The Warrior Dash registrants already number more than 5,700, and Chaser's is expecting more than 500 motorcycles to take part in this year's rally.

There seems to be little place for the underdog in modern football. With the game now so utterly dominated by money, it is tougher than ever for a team with a lower profile or less resources than their rivals to come out on top.
In the Premiership, the title race and even the battle for Champions League qualification is regularly contested by the same elite group of clubs. Yet the underdog is the type of team that will always have a special place in our hearts, and every once in a while, a smaller team will have their moment of glory.
This article looks back at some of the great underdog teams of the past and their triumphs. Note that this article focuses only on teams that had actual success within a tournament or league, so one off triumphs, for example Hereford's famous giant killing of Newcastle United in the FA Cup, will not be considered, as it did not lead to a trophy.
Please also be aware that this list is made up only of British sides and international teams due to the impossibility of compiling a list using teams from all over the world, given the number of underdog triumphs there have been. This is, of course, far from a definitive list. Simply a selection of underdog victories which capture the imagination.

I should also add, this has applications in field Theory or Electromagnetics if that help clarify the question.
Hi everyone please see the problem below:
Im trying to learn how to evaluate 3a. NOTICE: ap is a vector(boldfaced). My prof vagely mentioned something about not being able to integrate directly since as the direction of phi chances so does the direction ap. I know this seems unclear as this has me confused aswell and i cant find any information in my text regarding this. Can someone please help me understand how to integfrate this?
(p, phi , z)
p = radial distance from z-axis
phi = angle in radians meansured from "x-axis"
z=z as in cartesian.

The NHL free-agency period is set to start tomorrow. In addition to finding out which stars will find a new home and where, we will be finding out which aging stars will give it one last run, and which will call it a career.
These types of predictions are always the hardest. On one hand, it's great to see a player quit while he's ahead and still playing well, but at the same time that's the hardest time to do it.
It hard to watch a player become just a shadow he once was in his last years, but it's also admirable that he gave it all he had for as long as he could.
If there's anything we learned from Nicklas Lidstrom's decision to retire, it's that even the best aging stars can catch us by surprise.
The following takes a look at 10 aging players and what their decision for the following season will be.

The Miami Dolphins' Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys not only produced a 25-20 victory, but also provided clarification on which bubble players should make the final 53-man roster. Projecting the final roster can be difficult because coaches and the front office will have their favorites due to what happens behind closed doors and during practices.
But we can make some educated guesses based on who has been injured and who has received playing time earlier than others.
Let's project the final 53-man roster for the Dolphins, and don't forget to leave your thoughts on who will make the team in the comments section below.

In early January we brought you the story of an Onalaska man getting ready to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Did he make it to the top?
In early January we brought you the story of an Onalaska
man getting ready to summit Mount Kilimanjaro.
?Did he make it to the top?
Jennifer Livingston brings us this in search of update.
For months, 67-year-old Harvey Bertrand imagined what
it would feel like to get to the top of Mount kilimanjaro.
nat pop
He'd pushed himself through hours and hours of training
in the bitter cold of this Wisconsin winter - so he'd
be ready.
Why do you want to do it? People ask that.
I'm not sure.
Mountain climbing...you want to get up there.
You want to get to the top.
And frankly there's a lot of pride.
But also, it's camaraderie.
He left in late January on a trek that took him from
La Crosse to Tanzania, to tackle the Mighty Mount
The mountain is the highest peak in Africa at 19,
341 feet above sea level.
It's a walk up.
If it weren't for the elevation gain it would be just
a walk in the park.
Except for a couple of places it's really just a hike.
A trek.
But the 'little' trek Harvey was taking was where
the real challenge came into play.
There are six established routes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
The Umbwe Route is widely regarded as the most difficult
of all....it's the shortest, but the steepest way
Very few people attempt this way.
And when they do - 6-7 days is recommended.
Harvey's group attempted it in 5.
The first two days went according to plan.
:30 Perfect! how things were going I was a hero.
Well not a hero but laughs.
a powerhouse.
I felt good.
So the first two days it was just glorious.
Not exactly a 'walk in the park'.
Well I was upright.
But Harvey was determined.
Unfortunately so was the intestinal infection he developed.
But then...the 3rd day.
I came down with some pretty serious disentary.
So that's when things kind of started falling apart.
Then the 4th day, one one of the doctors kept feeling
around…and he said Harvey - your lungs are filling
up with water.
And with that - Harvey's adventure was over having
never made it to the top.
This picture was taken right before he started to
decend - holding the Lupus flag he brought to support
a friend.
So I started decending and it took 11 hours to get
9500 feet down.
Initially I was really distraught about not making
it…but after I have really accepted life and try to
make the best of it.
I'm not sure what I would have done differently.
And I have a passion to summit.
So I'm still working on it.
I'm not sure I'll get there and I'm not sure I want
The say it's more about the journey than the destination.
It was an amazing experience and you forget the pain.
It's perfect.
It seems Harvey's journey may not be over yet.
In Onalaska…Jennifer Livingston…news 8.
Harvey says the silver lining of coming down the mountain
early was being able to spend time with members of
some of the native tribes.

The San Francisco 49ers righted the ship last week against the St. Louis Rams, but with the Houston Texans coming to town hellbent on ridding themselves of the bitter taste left in their mouths by the Seattle Seahawks, the 49ers will need to build on their performance from last week in order to emerge victorious this Sunday.
The blueprint for victory was established against the Rams, as the 49ers returned to their physical, bruising style of play. The run will play a vast role in this game, with both teams looking to establish their most efficient form of offense.
While the defense looked to have improved tenfold, the fact remains that it was only against the Rams. Houston boasts a far more formidable stable of talent, and stopping the likes of Arian Foster and Andre Johnson will be the true barometer of how far the defense has come.
With both teams at 2-2 and looking up in the division standings for a change, getting a victory here could prove crucial for their playoff runs. Here are the five most important things the 49ers must do to ensure they walk away with that crucial win.

Detects SOD activity within 30 min.
100 assays
Add to Cart
Kit Summary:
• Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
• Sample type- Cell and Tissue lysates, culture media, urine, plasma and serum, as well as many other biological fluids
• Species reactivity- Mammalian
• Applications- Kit contains the necessary reagents for convenient measurement of activity of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) by colorimetric method.
Features & Benefits:
• Simple one-step procedure; takes around than 30 minutes
• Fast and convenient
Kit components:
• WST Solution
• SOD Enzyme Solution
• SOD Assay Buffer
• SOD Dilution Buffer
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the most important antioxidative enzymes. It catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. The sensitive SOD assay kit utilizes WST-1 that produces a water-soluble formazan dye upon reduction with superoxide anion. The rate of the reduction with a superoxide anion is linearly related to the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and is inhibited by SOD (below). Therefore, the inhibition activity of SOD can be determined by a colorimetric method.
Storage Conditions:
Shipping Conditions:
gel pack
USAGE: For Research Use Only! Not For Use in Humans.
Our technicians are confused about how to run the kit as no standard is provided and nor is it mentioned as to which type of plate should be used. Do we have sod standard that we may purchase or let us know how we can prepare one. also, let us know which plate should we use?The SOD kit (K335) can be used without a standard since it is reporting as %inhibition. Thus, the more SOD in a sample the less WST-1 formazan produced (which was dependent on Xanthine Oxidase (XO) activity). You can use the purified protein as a standard (Cat # 4802) and then treat the standard just as you would treat a sample (see protocol on attached data sheet). The 96-well plate is a standard flat bottom plate such as the one sold by Greiner Bio one (#655-101) or any other standard polystyrene plate.
How do we prepare cell/tissue samples to use with this kit?Before treatment, tissue should be perfused with PBS or 150mM KCl to remove any red blood cells which may be contaminating the tissue. Homogenize tissue or lyse cells in ice cold 0.1M Tris/HCl, pH 7.4 containing 0.25M sucrose, 5mM β-ME, 0.1mg/ml PMSF. Centrifuge crude tissue homogenate/cell lysate at 500 x g for 5 minutes at 4°C and discard the cell debris pellet. The supernatant contains cytosolic and mitochondrial enzyme activity. The mitochondria should be lysed by adding 50ul/ml of 10% Triton X-100. This preparation can be used for total SOD activity.
How do we differentiate between cytosolic and mitochondrial SODs?To differentiate between cytosolic and mitochondrial SOD activity, use BioVision K256-100 Mitochondrial/Cytosol Fractionation Kit or manually separate the fractions-centrifuge the supernatant at 14,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C to pellet the mitochondria. Pour off the supernatant which contains the cytosolic enzyme activity and Store at -80°C until ready to use. Resuspend the mitochondrial pellet in more ice cold homogenization buffer and repellet at 14,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C. The pellet is purified mitochondria and should be kept on ice until used. The mitochondria can be lysed by suspending in PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100. The suspension is ready to be analyzed and should be assayed for protein content to normalize enzyme activity.
How do we prepare blood samples to use with this kit?Collect blood using citrate or EDTA. Centrifuge at 1,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C. Remove the plasma layer without disturbing the buffy layer and store at -80°C until ready for analysis. Remove the buffy layer from the red cell pellet. Resuspend the erythrocytes in 5x volume of ice cold distilled water and centrifuge at 10,000 x g to pellet the erythrocyte membranes. Store the supernatant at -80°C until ready for analysis. Plasma can be diluted approx. 3-10x and the red cell lysate diluted approx 100x prior to SOD assay.
What mass of tissue is recommended as starting material for this assay?The minimum amount you can start with for this is ~10 mg.
Is there any formula of transforming relative enzyme activity into absolute enzyme activity? Or does it need a SOD standard to get the absolute activity of SOD? Yes, you would need to use a standard to find out the absolute activity. Here is the recombinant protein you can use as the standard: http://www.biovision.com/superoxide-dismutase-human-recombinant-3644.html. You will have to do a kinetic experiment to get this absolute activity. I can give you an exapmple of how to calculate the activity: Plot a standard curve with different conc of the SOD using exactly this assay protocol.For all samples, do a kinetc assay: Measure OD 450 nm at T1 to read A1, measure again at T2 after incubating the reaction at 25°C for 10 - 20 min (or incubate longer time if the SOD activity is low in sample) to read A2, protect from light. The signal increase is due to SOD, ∆A = A2 – A1Note: It is essential to read A1 and A2 in the reaction linear range. It will be more accurate if you read the reaction kinetics. Then choose A1 and A2 in the reaction linear range.Calculation: Subtract 0 standard readings from the standards. Plot the SOD standard curve. Apply the ∆A to the standard curve to get B nmol of activity generated between T1 and T2 in the reaction wells. SOD calculation: SOD Activity = [B/(T2-T1)xV] x sample dilution factor = nmol/min/ml = mU/ml.Where: B is the SOD amount from SOD standard curve (in nmol).T1 is the time of the first reading (A1) (in min).T2 is the time of the second reading (A2) (in min).V is the sample volume added into the reaction well (in ml).
Could you please advise me, should the protein concentration be measured of the samples tested? The protocol you have provided shows a graph of percent inhibition vs SOD activity, has this been normalised to the protein concentration?The graph we have on our datasheet has the % inhibition on Y-axis. From this kit protocol, you will just get the Y-value which is the % inhibition. To draw the graph, you will need the X value. You can get that by using standards (not included in the kit). The standards (Cat # 4802-100) have to be treated the same way as the samples, but since you already know the amount you are taking, you can easily calculate U/ml.
Can this kit be used with samples like bacteria, plants, drosophila, yeast etc?We have optimized the kit with mammalian samples. However, theoretically these kits should work with samples from multiple species/sources. Since the optimal conditions depend on the sample type, the protocol has to be be adapted to fit the samples for efficient results. Please refer to this kits citations to see what kind of samples have been used with this kit other than mammalian samples.
Can we use frozen samples with this assay?Fresh samples are always preferred over frozen samples. However, frozen samples can also be used, provided, they were frozen right after isolation, were not freeze thawed multiple time (for which we recommend aliquoting the samples before freezing) and have been frozen for relatively short periods.
Can we use a different wavelength than recommended for the final analysis?It is always recommended to use the exact recommended wavelength for the most efficient results. However, most plate readers have flexibility in their band width of detection in increments of +/- 10 nm. Depending on this flexibility range, you can deviate from the recommended wavelengths within limits.
What is the exact volume of sample required for this assay?There is no specific volume we can recommend for the amount any sample to be used since it is completely sample concentration and quality based. You have to do a pilot expt with multiple sample volumes to determine the optimal volume which gives a reading within the linear range of the standard curve. Please refer to the citations for this product to see what other clients have used with similar sample types.
Do you have trial sizes of this kit?Unfortunately, we do not have trial sizes of this kit available. However, if you are based in the US or Canada, we will give you a 10% off list price introductory discount on its purchase price. If you are based out of this area please contact yopur regional BioVision distributor.
What is the shelf life of this kit?This kit is good for 12 months from the date of shipment in the unopened form when stored at the appropriate temperature and appropriate conditions. After opening and reconstitution, some of the components in this kit are good for 2 months at -20°C. Please refer to the datasheet for storage information and shelf life of each of the components.
Why are my standard curve values lower than those shown on the datasheet?There are multiple factors which influence the signals like the incubation times, room temperature, handling etc. In general, to increase the value of the standards, you can increase the incubation time. As long as the standard curve is linear, it should be fine to use, since all of your samples will also be measured under the same conditions on this curve.
How do I normalize my samples against protein concentration?You can use a protein quantitation assay on the supernatants you get from cell/tissue lysates or with any other liquid sample in the assay buffer.
Can we purchase individual components of this kit?Yes, you can purchase any of the kits components without the whole kit. Please refer to the component Cat #s mentioned on the datasheet for ordering.
Can we use an alternate buffer for sample preparation (cell lysis, sample dilutions etc)?Our assay buffers are optimized for the reactions they are designed for. They not only contain some detergents for efficient lysis of your cells/tissue, but also contain some proprietary components required for the further reactions. Therefore, we highly recommend using the buffers provided in the kit for the best results.
Should I make a standard curve for every expt I do, or is one curve/kit enough?Yes, It is recommended to do the standards every time you do the expt. There is always a chance that something was done differently that day and we do not want any conditions to differ between standards and samples.

The New Gansevoort: Pedestrian Godsend, Nightclubber Nuisance
A DOT team received a mix of gratitude and derision at Tuesday's public forum about recent pedestrian improvements in the Meatpacking District, which attracted an audience of about 100 people to the Housing Works offices on West 13th Street. It was an interesting window onto the competing interests now vying to shape what has been, from the beginning, a genuinely community-based project seeking to put pedestrians on equal footing with vehicle traffic.
Those who came to praise described the new sense of safety they feel walking around the area near Gansevoort Plaza. Those who came to scorn suggested rolling back those improvements in the hopes that livery passengers might not have to wait another minute or two to be dropped off right at their luxe destinations. The former enjoyed a two-to-one advantage over the latter among those who spoke, with much of crowd opinion resting with a sizable, aesthetically-driven middle ground -- people who professed support for street reclamation in theory, but just don't like the look of nipple bollards.
The goal of the meeting, said DOT Manhattan Borough Commissioner Margaret Forgione, was to get "a sense of the overall feeling and a sense of what can be tweaked" about the project, which is slated to enter a permanent design phase this July, followed by construction the next year. There was no shortage of thoughtful ideas -- and clunkers -- for a neighborhood attempting to deal with the influx of cab and limo traffic on weekend nights. Taxi stands, anyone?Read more...

Titanic dress, Lord of the Rings bow, Star Wars fighter fetch big dollars at Hollywood auction
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 26, 2012
IT was the dress that set true love on its course in the Hollywood film blockbuster Titanic.
The stunning red chiffon creation Kate Winslet's character Rose wore when she set the heart of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) aflutter, fetched $US330,000 ($A318,000) when it went up for offer to the public at a Hollywood memorabilia auction.
The iconic outfit, known as the "jump dress" Rose donned as she prepared to leap into the ocean from the deck of the ill-fated Titanic, was designed by Deborah L Scott and took more than 1,000 hours to complete.
Bidders dug deep at the 'Drama Action, Romance: The Hollywood Auction in Los Angeles to capture a piece of silver screen history.
The top seller during the event was the "Lothlorien" bow used by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
It sold for $US372,000 ($A350,000)– more than three times its pre-sale estimate of $120,000.
Bloom used the plastic bow made in the famed New Zealand workshop Weta in all three films.
A screen-used X-Wing model from the first Star Wars' movie in 1977 sold for $US270,000 ($A260,000), more than twice its original estimate of $120,000.
The piece came from the private collection of an Academy Award-winning visual effects supervisor.
A blue jersey worn by Mr. Spock in Star Trek's second season was also keenly contested and eventually sold for $US114,000.

Hometown Cemetery Stories
Tonight on the show, Chris Reed's "Hot Topic Of The Night" talks about your hometown cemetery. We all have stories from where we grew up of the local cemetery. For me, around the Mamou and Eunice area, there was a cemetery informally labeled "Headless."Legend has it that a man would often ride a white horse through the cemetery late at night, and he appeared to NOT have a head attached his torso. Whether this was someone revisiting the area from the days of the Civil War, or just a spirit looking to spook late night visitors, many have claimed to see this "ghost" or "spirit."
Tonight, we discuss what story you may have about your local cemetery. Whether your story is true or not, we want to know what you know about your local cemetery. Acadiana has man stories and folklore, and tonight we highlight local cemeteries.
As always, feel free to share stories On-Air at 234-1079 or comment below. The "Hot Topic Of The Night" airs weeknights at 8pm on Hot 107-9!!!!

We are to meet in May, Sunday 4th to the fortified castle of Sedan for the most amazing race of the year: The Frappadingue Ardennes X'TREM, created in 2010 by Marc Devins and some friends of his. Its course is opened to everybody, top athlete or not, even people who don't run can participate. The watchwords are solidarity and mutual assistance. This race didn't make neither participants nor spectators disappointed as it always succeeded to be innovative. The year 2014 welcomes the craziest people willing to face this 12-km race spread with obstacles of all kinds. The participants will be disguised for a festive and friendly atmosphere. You can also find the biggest fortified castle in Europe in which all the indispensable elements will be reunited: an historical place, water, mud... The goal of the participants won't necessarily be the time but above all to finish this race spread with about 40 obstacles. In addition to a race that ensures numerous hysterical laughters to the participants, it also lets the spectators discover Sedan historical city.
You can find more details on the official website of the Frappadingue.

Carnival Legend Cruise Review by dlljet: Yahoo!
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
This cruise with my 14 year old daughter was our fifth together,our third with Carnival. We spent two nights prior to sailing at the Doubletree Hotel near Tampa International,it is a good hotel and the cookies were delicious. We spent a day at Busch Gardens,what a fun prelude to our cruise. Embarking was simple,it is right across from the Tampa Aquarium so if you have free time what better way to spend the time and not have to travel. The port is modern and clean with transportation readily available. The Legend is a very nice ship,built in 2002 it is in great shape,the decor is pleasant,not overwhelming for those who don't like all the bright lights. We had an interior room which had ample room for two. The activities were standard for those who have traveled Carnival so you will not be disappointed if you were happy with your previous Carnival cruises.The ship had a variety of all ages so it is an everyone cruise. The food and service was More
absolutely the best. Our dining room waiter was a true professional,he made our dining experience unforgettable. The food was absolute tops. On the menu were fillet mignon,chateau brigon and prime rib,all so tender it melted in your mouth. I have done extensive traveling including Europe,seven cruises,I have had no better steaks in my life,it was that good. This cruise we did excursions instead of going off on our own. We did parasailing in Grand Cayman,parrots and monkeys in Honduras,cave tubing in Belize,bicycling and snorkeling in Cozumel. I recommend them all,it was a blast. Other Carnival cruises my daughter and I have been on are the Glory and Conquest,we enjoyed them and this cruise was no different. I have also been on the Valor,a nice newer and modern ship but the decor was not my favorite but still a nice ship. Lastly I want to add Carnival is trying something new and it is being tested only on the Legend. Some like the early/late seating and some like the "free style" dining. This trial is the best of both worlds. For those who like the early/late seating you make the reservation as we did and you are all set. For those who wish to eat when they want they can do so,everyone wins. My daughter and I went on a Norwegian Cruise(Star)to Alaska two years ago. The ship was beautiful and cruise was fantastic HOWEVER I was not impressed with the "free style" dining. One night we had to wait 45 minutes to get a table to eat dinner,so much for "eat when you want". That negative experience has made us realize that a dinner reservation is more appealing to us.
Overall this is a great ship,cruise,destinations and I highly recommend it. Less

The patient has been reporting it for several months, but the skeptic inside me has been hard of hearing. He was prescribed an SSRI (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, in his case, Paxil) for depression several years ago. He immediately began experiencing an inability to reach orgasm, even though he had normal erections. But he also reports that, when he went off the SSRI, his sexual functioning never returned to normal.
Yes, I said never.
I thought he was exaggerating, until he brought me the article from the Boston Globe in which several urologists, psychiatrists and psychologists report the same effects (Carey Goldberg, "Antidepressants may damage more sex lives," Boston Globe, 12/15/2008). Now, it is not news that many who take SSRIs report delayed or even completely absent orgasms, although the numbers of people affected remain elusive. (Guess what? Drug manufacturers and the psychiatrists on their payrolls tend to give lower estimates of these effects than independent psychiatrists. Golly!) It has been thought that these effects are reversible: if the patient cannot tolerate the orgasm-depressing or orgasm-extinguishing effects, he or she goes off the drug, and sexual functioning returns to normal. But the increasing reports of people who never recover their orgasms is more worrisome, to say the least. This phenomenon is supposedly rare, but when it happens it is kind of dramatic (see the comment posts to the Globe article for some harrowing details). I guess my own patient is not exaggerating after all.
So here's my question. Has anybody told the kids? Has anybody told the thousands and thousands of teenagers who are prescribed SSRIs every day that there is this little problem- what one Globe post commentator calls (in an admittedly phallocentric view)"the Deadwood Effect"? Okay, it's rare. But don't you think kids ought to be told anyway?
Experts interviewed for the Globe story, and some commentators, recite the same old sad Hobson's Choice argument: one can choose to take the meds to ameliorate debilitating, life-threatening depression, and suffer sexual side effects but at least be alive, or one can go without these meds and risk death by suicide or the living death of depression. We've heard it before: it's the same argument made regarding the risk of adolescent suicide and SSRIs: on balance, more lives are saved by taking the medication. Fair enough, when we're talking about life-threatening depressions.
But of course we're not always talking about life-threatening depressions. We're talking about the thousands of kids who come in to their family doctors with adolescent moodiness and leave with a prescription for an SSRI in their hot little hands. As a college professor and advisor, I can't begin to count the number of 19 year olds I have met on SSRIs who have never ever seen a mental health professional. The choice is less Hobsonian if it is framed as follows: do you want a period of adolescent grouchiness, lethargy and perhaps less-than-enthusiastic attention to schoolwork, but fully-functioning orgasmic potential? Or take an SSRI, which will help the grouchiness a little, and take a chance on a lifetime of orgasmic suppression? I know which one I would pick. What about you? What about your kid?

Doctor Zhivago Boris Pasternak A New Translation by Richard Peuear and Larissa Volokhonsky
Doctor Zhivago
Boris Pasternak
A New Translation by Richard Peuear and Larissa Volokhonsky
Pantheon Books,New York, NY
$30.00,513 pgs
Reviewed by BL Kennedy
They walked and walked and sang "Memory Eternal", and whenever they stopped, the singing seemed to be carried on by their feet, the horses, the gusts of wind.
Before her recent passing, the poet Do Gentry turned me on to this book. Hey look, I'll plead ignorant; I've never read Doctor Zhivago until this new translation. Up until now, all I knew from Zhivago was the movie, which I'll tell you right here, has absolutely nothing to do with the beauty that this book invokes. This new translation makes Doctor Zhivago a classic of 20th century literature. You simply have to indulge yourself and pass into Pasternak's beautiful prose. It is in and of itself seduction on the highest order. I'm not gonna say a lot about this recent translation, but I will say this: it is hands down one of the most beautiful novels that I've ever had the opportunity to read in my life. So if you have a chance to go to your local bookstore and purchase this copy of Dr. Zhivago, well, you can't go wrong.

"Incredibly, it claims without support that Zimmerman was "profiling" Martin. It misrepresents what the dispatcher said to Zimmerman, calling it an "instruction" not to follow Martin. (The dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that" to which Zimmerman responded "Ok.")
Affidavit = FAIL. That a judge signed off on this as establishing second degree murder which according to Florida jury instructions and case law requires the killing be done with "ill will, hatred, spite, or an evil intent" is perplexing, to say the least."
It's a piece of crap.
Explaining why could be an epic post, but I don't have much time, so I will make it brief.
The affidavit is argumentative, it's conclusory, and it lacks attribution.
The affidavit takes the lazy way out, starting with a paragraph that says, in effect, "we investigated a bunch of stuff, and here's what we learned," followed by a narrative of what the affiant believes happened. Almost nothing is specifically attributed — that is, for most facts asserted in the affidavit, it is impossible to determine whether a witness told the affiant the fact, how the witness knew, or whether it is just a conclusion drawn by the affiant.
Dan Markel
But if everything we've seen reported is true (and I'll assume this provides a useful summary), and there aren't other missing pieces of evidence, I cannot fathom how a jury would return a guilty verdict for murder. If that's right, what could justify bringing a murder charge?
In short, it is shit. To be honest, this affidavit, within its "four corners" arguably does not even meet the necessary burden of probable cause for Manslaughter under Florida section 782.07, much less the "depraved mind" necessary under Florida's Second Degree Murder charge under section 782.04(2) as charged in the information. George Zimmerman may have committed a crime, but it is not demonstrated in this affidavit, and certainly is not as to the crime charged, Second Degree Murder. Charles Blow can praise this thing until the cows come home in the august pages of the New York Times, but it is still a pile of junk.

Download the C&S Companies Sustainability Policy
At C&S, the world around us is our business. As engineers, architects, planners, environmental scientists, and construction professionals, our job is to build and protect the infrastructure and environment that we all depend on. The world is becoming ever greener. Every segment of our society, from business and industry to education and our home lives, is taking a hard look at how our activities affect the planet. Adopting new, environmentally sound ways of living and working wasn't just a choice for C&S; it was a requirement. The sustainability movement affects every business model at C&S.
Our expertise and ingenuity is being applied to every service we offer. From designing sustainable schools to reducing emissions at airports to on-site materials recycling at our construction sites, we're looking for ways to make our projects more sustainable. We have an internal Sustainable Society group comprising staff from every discipline at C&S who get together monthly to find ways that we can be a greener company.
We are proud of the initiatives we've started, including a rigorous recycling program, preferred parking for green vehicles, our fleet of Toyota Prius Hybrid cars that we use for project travel, composting food waste, and most of all, building our LEED Certified 22,000-square-foot building addition—one of the first LEED Certified buildings in the area, and receiving LEED EBOM certification for our entire headquarters building.
Our goals moving forward are to continue to find ways to be greener in our everyday lives, and especially to help our clients become more sustainable. Buildings and infrastructure use the majority of the energy humans expend. Because of the nature of our work, C&S can drastically affect our built environment by integrating sustainable principles into every project we undertake. Green does not have to be more expensive or more complicated. In fact, green buildings actually cost far less to own and operate in the long term. We have the unique opportunity to use our in-house resources and expertise to make a significant difference in our communities by designing and building projects that are healthier for both the planet and the people who use them.
The sustainability movement is not one-dimensional. The benefits of living and working more sustainably touch everything from our physical health to our finances to our emotional well-being. C&S is excited and proud to have the opportunity to positively affect so many areas of our lives through embracing green principles.

"so when you see her... will you do me a favour... ASK YOUR GIRL WHAT D*CK TASTES LIKE"
Awesome song
madara to konan:
"you were just a foolish little girl who knew nothing but now you're foolish little girl who knows where Nagato's Rinnegan is hidden"

I refuse to believe that is a quote from Naruto.
Hokage-sama that wasn`t very funny.
These are my two favourite quotes from Naruto that aren't already here (not completely sure though)
"If my arms get ripped off, I'll just kick him to death. If my legs get ripped off, I'll just bite him to death. If my head gets ripped off, I'll just stare him to death. And If my eyes get ripped off, I'll just curse him to death." ~Naruto
"Shut up! I'm not "that thing"! I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I'm gonna be the Hokage one day!" ~Naruto
The second one is in Naruto Shippuuden, but the younger version of Naruto from the first season says that. (I think he's a bit younger if you ask me. if you can say it like that anyway)
"Shut up Naruto"Sasuke Uchiha
"Then I will break this curse. If there is such a thing as peace I will find it. I wont give up"
Nagato Uzumaki.
One of my personal faves are: "He's so far out of the loop he doesn't even know there's a loop." - Shikamaru
"Then become stronger than me." - Sasuke to Naruto
"What in the world are you, Naruto Uzumaki?" - Sasuke
"He's getting stronger... almost abnormally." - Sasuke
"And I'm the village's number one ninja, Konohamaru." - By Konohamaru
i think it would be
"In the world of ninja, those who don't follow the rules are scum, that's true. But, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." - kakashi
"I'll help you with that!"-Naruto
''Itachi...He was your biggest mistake .'' Danzou talking about Sasuke.
"BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!" -naruto
"I WILL BECOME THE HOKAGE!!!!!!!!!!" -naruto
"Foolish brother, if you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me, and survive in an unsightly way. Run, run and cling to life." - Uchiha Itachi
Already up there though haha still my favourite. :D
"I can't exactly teleport my ass wherever I want like you do"- Zetsu to Madara.
When a person... has something important they want to protect... that's when they can become truly strong-haku
we are humans not fish-itachi
"just make sure you don't get in my way,loser"-sasuke uchiha
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference" -by God himself ^^
my true fave is this 1 right here
"It's only fitting that I take your heart to replace the one you've destroyed!" -Kakuzu to Kakashi
Sasuke: . . .And to kill a certain man.
Naruto: He'd better not mean me.

Duke junior goalie Sean Brady has been dismissed from the team, coach John Danowski said on Wednesday. Brady was a strong candidate to start in goal; according to eyewitness accounts, he started the preseason scrimmage against Navy on Jan. 29.
Brady also was expected to start in goal last season. He was dismissed from the team in the preseason following an academic violation, according to published reports.
Danowski says Brady remains enrolled at Duke but will not be back on the team this year.
"This is an opportunity for him to really look at himself and grow from it," Danowski says. "I am still talking with him, he was in my office [on Tuesday]. This is part of his growth and hopefully in his best interests."
With Brady gone, the job is between sophomore Dan Wigrizer and senior Mike Rock. Wigrizer started 16 games last year; he had a 50.8 save percentage and 9.41 goals-against average. Rock started three games.
The other goalie on the roster is in his first year with the program. Senior Chris Shannon spent four years as an offensive lineman and long snapper on the Duke football team. Physically, he resembles former Notre Dame All-American Scotty Rodgers and current Drexel standout goalie Mark Manos in that Shannon is 6-feet-5, 285 pounds.
But the battle to start the season opener against Siena on Saturday in Durham, N.C., is between Wigrizer and Rock.
"Mike Rock has emerged as a serious contender," Danowski says. "Danny has shown flashes of brilliance but he's been a little inconsistent."
Wigrizer is one of six freshmen to start in goal for teams that won the NCAA Tournament. Oddly, only one of the previous five ever won a second title.

Pretty Blues
Ms. Montague is probably still pinching herself. Consider the premise for her recording debut: basic trio plus a reed man. Ah, but check the talent: pianist Mulgrew Miller; a pair of Washingtons, Peter on bass, Kenny on drums; and tenor saxophonist/flutist Bill Easley. It's a win-win situation. Jazz players love to accompany a genuine jazz singer and Antoinette is as real as they come: good range, phrasing and taste.
All three come into clear focus immediately on the first track, the blues cocktail that evolves from "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water" to "Everyday I Have the Blues." As Mulgrew finishes his 12-bar intro, Antoinette hums around the root tone as if to announce, "I'm ready!" Is she ever! When Mulgrew sets her up for a supersonic "From This Moment On," she confidently glides along while the monster keyboardist skillfully wears his fingers down to the knuckles. On "Teach Me Tonight," she again shows her patience with words over a cooking tempo. She also shows how to sustain a tone forever, letting the vibrato finally emerge, never weakening the intonation. Tackling "At Last," Antoinette never leans on Etta James' ubiquitous reworking.

Data Center Networking - Managing a Virtualized Environment
There is an industry-wide trend to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by improving data center operational efficiencies through server and storage consolidation. This results in better system utilization, application availability and, most importantly, cost savings in terms of both hardware and energy use. For these reasons and others, virtualization technologies are being deployed to drive the efficiency and effectiveness of computing resources. The movement toward virtualization is forcing enterprises to take a hard look at their data center architecture to ensure they have the automation, visibility and security controls in place to meet the needs of today's demanding business applications.

US Administration Renews Push to Ratify Law of Sea Treaty
The Obama administration has initiated a renewed push to convince the U.S. Senate to approve the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea treaty. Administration officials claim approval of the pact is necessary to protect the U.S. Navy's right to carry out exercises off the coast of China. In the past Chinese ships have harassed U.S. vessels.
The administration's push to approve the treaty comes at a time of increased focus by the Pentagon on China's military buildup and the expansion of its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The Pentagon is also watching escalation of a dispute between Beijing and the Philippines over a South China Sea island.
Ratification of the treaty has long been blocked due to congressional concerns that the treaty gives the UN far too much control over American oil and mineral rights while threatening U.S. sovereignty. Treaty opponents contend that China will not to change its maritime claims even if the treaty is ratified.
On the high seas, the U.S. Navy "locks in" its rights and freedoms by its capacity to sink any ship that would try to deny those rights.
The United States doesn't need the Law of the Sea Treaty (or LOST). The Continental Congress established the U.S. Navy in 1775, and over the next 236 years it has become the greatest, most powerful maritime force in world history. LOST was first adopted by the United Nations back in 1982. Since then, the United States Navy has managed to protect the U.S. and her maritime interests without benefit of LOST.
In the interest of national security and sovereignty, the United States should withdraw from the UN, stop paying all dues to what's become an Islamofascist/Communist criminal organization, and expel them from American shores permanently.
