Islamic Central Asia
An Anthology of Historical Sources
Publication Year: 2009
Islamic Central Asia is the first English-language anthology of primary documents for the study of Central Asian history. Scott C. Levi and Ron Sela draw from a vast array of historical sources to illustrate important aspects of the social, cultural, political, and economic history of Islamic Central Asia. These documents—many newly translated and most not readily available for study—cover the period from the 7th-century Arab conquests to the 19th-century Russian colonial era and provide new insights into the history and significance of the region.

People buy a natural product seeking a connection with nature. It is nature they trust.
—Aubrey Hampton
Since 1967, Aubrey has been the authentic natural alternative to mass-produced personal care products. As our founder Aubrey Hampton believed, nature knows best. This guides everything we do, from the purity of our ingredients to how our products are made - by hand, in small batches, always in harmony with nature.
Nutrient-rich organic serum improves the look and feel of dry skin on contact and restores its natural moisture balance.
- A high source of natural trans-retinoic acid
- High in linoleic and linolenic acids and vitamin C, excellent skin nutrients
- Improves skin texture and replenishes moisture
At Aubrey our tradition continues...
Out moisture-intensive, antioxidant serum is pure, golden Rosa Mosqueta oil, grown in Chile's Andes mountains and cold-pressed from organic rose hip seeds. Aubrey was the first U.S. manufacturer to formulate with this rich, hydrating oil in our signature line for dry complexions. High in essential fatty acids and Vitamin C, it replenishes dehydrated areas, improves texture and protects skin from environmental stress.
Suggested Use
Shake well before using
Apply directly to rough, dry areas of the skin and massage gently. For added benefit, follow with Revitalizing Therapy Moisture.
Other Ingredients
Rosa rubiginosa (rosa mosqueta) seed oil*.
This oil is great! Originally I was looking into purchasing an oil similar to this that was featured on a TV show, however, it cost approx 150 for the same amount. This has similar ingredients and it's very inexpensive. It is great around the eyes! I use the oil around the eyes, serum on my skin, and the moisturizer daily. These products are great! I wish I had known about them sooner. I am in my late fifties and have always taken care of my skin. It pays off!!
it was suggested that i use this oil on my skin while i was going through a procedure to have my breast implants removed. the process was slow - the saline implants were punctured by my plastic surgeon, and the saline slowly leaked out and was absorbed by my body. after 10 months of draining, the implants were removed in a quick procedure under local anesthesia. i am 49 years old and was concerned with the possibilty of stretch marks and sagging skin... however, with the application of this oil twice daily, my skin is in beautiful condition! no stretch marks, no sagging!!!

İ love it
Great for curing scars on oily skin
Posted by 4630562692623615739 on May 10, 2016
It was called Rosehip seed oil. I got many holes on my face because I used to have a lot of acnes. This product is a must have item! It cures the wounds and makes the pores get smaller. Skin condition improves a lot too. Nice smell but can only be stored for like 2 to 3 months, otherwise its smell changes and becomes less effective. DO NOT apply it on acnes as it will make the acnes get worst. I review natural products. If you have oily and acne prone skin, dry and thick hair, dry skin on legs and arms, do check my other reviews. If you find this review useful, please give me a thumbs up. Thanks.
Not sure it is doing much
Posted by Reviewer2461182 on Apr 03, 2016
This is a small pump bottle of oil. In our fairly cold area the oil becomes solid. The few times I actually got it to become liquid, and applied it, it is hard to tell if it is doing anything at all. However other reviewers loved it. At that price it is worth the try. I find the Aubrey Organics, Revitalizing Night Therapy Creme a lot easier to use. It is an awesome product, over damp skin, just a small amount makes a big difference. And that Night Therapy creme has a very pleasant natural aroma.
It is too Oily
Posted by Sulucia on Aug 26, 2015
Too Oily and feel too thick to fill my skin. It may be better for winter.
Superb for dry skin
Posted by 4876441485628329133 on Jul 22, 2015
I bought this for a good friend who had dry flaky skin. I saw great improvement on her. According to her, the product is not greasy at all and it absorbed pretty well.

text: There are true 120 hz LCD monitors available now: Samsung 2233RZ ViewSonic VX2265wm We have tested these using the BBTK and found that as long as all appropriate drivers and cables are used: 1) They do run at a true 120 hz 2) They do not have any internal frame buffering etc. 3) The average delay between when the video card indicates the start of a retrace and when the light key fires is about 1/2 the response time of 3 msec with sub-msec sdev. 4) They seem to update the display in a scanning fashion like a CRT, i.e. a light key placed at the bottom of the monitor fires about 1 retrace after the light key at the top fires. We only looked at refresh rate timing and precision, not at things like color range etc, so it is likely that these LCDs are still not good for a lot of research, but they are at least getting better. ;) Sol -----Original Message----- From: visionlist-bounces at visionscience.com [mailto:visionlist-bounces at visionscience.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Watson Sent: November-02-09 7:03 PM To: visionlist at visionscience.com Subject: Re: [visionlist] CRT monitor solutions Debora, Daniel, VisionList, I asked around about the TMOS technology, and got the following cautionary reply: > TMOS display technology is being developed by a company called > UniPixel > Displays in Texas.

Freedom New Mexico
Of itself, the change was not quite as significant as it seemed to be at first glance.
Cuba was not legalizing private property or even moving toward anything that might be deemed an actual market in real estate.
All the notice on Friday in the official gazette of the Cuban Justice Ministry did was to expedite the process whereby government workers who had lived in (and rented) government-owned homes can get property titles to those homes and pass them on to their heirs.
According to Reuters, such homes were slated to become privately owned under existing law, but the process was a bureaucratic nightmare.
Still, it's a step in the direction of recognizing private property, which had been virtually unheard of during the more than 50 years that current Cuban leader Raul Castro's older brother Fidel ran Cuba.
And it hasn't been the only step in loosening up government control over the economic lives of Cubans.
Cubans are now allowed to own cell phones and computers (though hardly anybody can actually afford a computer). The ceilings on government salaries have been lifted. And Cubans are now allowed to stay at hotels that had formerly been reserved for foreigners (although again, hardly any Cuban could actually afford to do so).
Cuba is also allowing, for the first time in memory, people to work small plots of land as private farmers rather than undertaking all agricultural production on large-scale government-operated collective farms. Pilot programs have shown that private farmers, even with tiny plots, are more productive than collective farms, and the authorities now figure that expanding the program, putting more plots of unused land into the hands of private farmers, could do a great deal to ease Cuba's chronic food shortages.
"In and of themselves, they don't amount to much," said Roger Fontaine, a State Department Latin American specialist during the Reagan Administration who teaches Latin American history and politics at the Institute of World Politics. But if Raul keeps introducing small steps in the direction of market-oriented economic activity, "it could have an important cumulative impact over time," he said.
Fontaine also believes the fact that Raul Castro is introducing even these small reforms tells us something about the real condition of long-time Cuban caudillo Fidel Castro. "I can't see Fidel approving of private ownership of computers or privatizing government housing," he said.
Cuba was hardly a free-market paradise under Castro's predecessor, the dictator Fulgencio Batista, nor is it likely to become one any time soon. But small steps in that direction could be difficult to reverse.
A key question is how long Raul Castro, who at almost 77 is rumored to have health issues himself, will last, and whether he can control the pace of reform once it gets under way.
Reform accelerated beyond Mikhail Gorbachev's capacity to control it in the old Soviet Union, and, in Cuba's case, Raul has no logical successor. A window to a freer Cuba could be opening, if only a bit at a time.

Background and objectives: Endometrial carcinoma is a common cancer among women. The endometrioid type of carcinoma usually has a better prognosis than uterine serous carcinoma (USC). Diagnosis may be challenging as not all USCs have a papillary architecture, and some endometrioid adenocarcinomas (EACs) may manifest as solid sheets of tumor cells, especially of high grade. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination of insulin-like growth factor II messenger RNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3) and claudin-1 immunostaining in differentiation between both tumors.
Materials and methods: Histopathological evaluation of 86 archival EAC, 20 USC, 10 endometrial hyperplasia, eight atypical endometrial hyperplasia, and two endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma patients was carried out. Immunohistochemical evaluation of IMP3 and claudin-1 expression was carried out by progesterone (PR) and P53 immunostaining in challenging cases.
Results: There was a significant difference between IMP3 and claudin-1 in EAC patients, whereas all patients with USC were IMP3+/claudin-1+. In one of the patients with a challenging case of EAC, the diagnosis was changed to USC as the patient was IMP3+/claudin-1+, as well as P53+/PR−. All challenging cases of USC were IMP3+/claudin-1+ and P53+/PR−; hence, their diagnosis was confirmed. Both endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma patients were IMP3+/claudin-1+, whereas all nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia patients were IMP3−/claudin-1−.
Conclusion: Combined use of IMP3 and claudin-1 is useful in differentiating between EAC and USC, especially in diagnostically challenging cases.

Meringue d'automne, or the joys and frustrations of being self-taught
(Apologies for my long silence, I've been very busy with a new project, which I'll post about soon. But I still bake!)
One of the things I like about baking and blogging is that I can teach myself a good number of techniques by reading recipes on the web. Blogging about the process gives me an additional incentive to invest the time and effort to get it right. So mostly I'm pleased I've learned quite a bit since starting this blog.
But self-teaching has its limits, and I keep stumbling upon baking mysteries I can't solve even with the help of on-line resources.
A recipe that illustrates the rewards and frustrations I've encountered is my go-to recipe for celebration cakes, Pierre Hermé's meringue d'automne (which he also refers to as a Megève in some of his books).
Since this post got a bit long-winded (I know, I can get obsessive about documenting successes and failures, as with my croissant saga), I decided to summarize what I've learned in the drawing below:
A review of these five versions of the same recipe follows. Process photos and the recipe itself can be found further down in this post.
Version number 1, October 2006:
The shape was lumpy, the glaze was splotchy, the white chocolate lettering was sloppy, but the flavor and texture were delicious.
Version number 2, December 2006:
Ta-da, I found a solution to hide the lumpy shape and avoid the whole glaze issue: inspired by Alice Medrich, I wrapped the cake in chocolate and covered it with ruffles. Details and my video on how to make the chocolate ruffles can be found here.
(Some time in between versions 2 and 3 I made two additional undocumented ruffle-covered cakes, both of which turned out fine).
Version number 3, October 2007:
Here I had more success with the shape of the cake, as I built it within a cake ring lined with plastic, piping the mousse around the edges as I added each layer of meringue. But again I didn't have any success with the glaze, you can see how blotchy it looks.
Version number 4, September 2008:
The chocolate ruffles were decorated with white chocolate squiggles, creating a nice effect. But oh dear, what happened to the meringue? By the time I served the cake, ie two days after assembling it (Hermé recommends preparing it in advance), the meringue had partially vanished into the mousse (sorry no photo of the inside of the cake). The cake still held its shape, as the chilled mousse is quite firm thanks to its butter content, but the texture was not as interesting as there was no longer much contrast between crunchy meringue and unctuous mousse. I assumed the cake should not be prepared too soon before serving, despite what the recipe said.
Version number 5, July 2009:
I tried the glaze one last time, this time with success: the key lies in making a large quantity of glaze, pouring it on top of the cake and letting it settle without touching it with the spatula (though I did touch up the sides). It's a little wasteful but you can put the cake on a rack and catch the surplus on a sheet of parchment paper under the rack.
However, the meringue disappeared again (again no photo), even though I served it the day after making the cake. I don't know why, and it's driving me nuts.
Possible hypotheses for the disappearing meringue
- Is it because I used defrosted egg whites to make the meringues? That's supposed to be a good thing, aged egg whites whip better don't they?
- Or did I not dry the meringues out long enough in the oven? Twice?
- Perhaps I was too generous with the chocolate mousse. I do remember increasing the quantity of mousse, thinking Hermé's recipe was too stingy...
So along with my pride at having mastered the form, the chocolate ruffles, and the shiny glaze of this cake, comes the humbling lesson that the first iteration tasted better than the last. Despite three years' worth of practice, I don't know if the next time I make this cake it will come out right. Argh!
Process photos (click on any to enlarge)
Chocolate ruffles with white chocolate decorations, as on the cover of Bittersweet (see my video for making chocolate ruffles here):
Meringues before baking (the small ones are left-over meringue batter)
The chocolate and butter mixed together
Folding in the whipped egg whites is done with a whisk
The cake is assembled in a ring form lined with plastic (rhodoïde, or acetate I believe it's called)
Once the cake is fully chilled, you can patch up any holes with left-over mousse.
To wrap the cake in chocolate, cover a strip of plastic (rhodoïde or acetate or in this case shelf-liner. Which is thicker and easier to use than rhodoïde, but this particular one left a pattern on the chocolate, even though of course I used the smooth side). Then wrap the strip of plastic with the melted chocolate around the cake, blocking the end with a piece of parchment paper so you can remove the plastic.
Then decorate with the chocolate ruffles
Recipe: Meringue d'automne
Source: Pierre Hermé, Larousse du chocolat
(I increased the proportions of the meringue and of the mousse)
- 8 egg whites
- 400g sugar
- 2 vanilla pods or 2 tspn vanilla extract
- 400g 70% chocolate
- 417g soft butter
- 5 egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons chocolate sauce (see below)
- 10 egg whites
- 33g sugar
Chocolate sauce
(This makes half a liter of sauce, too much for this recipe)
- 130g 70% chocolate
- 250ml (or grams) water
- 70g sugar
- 125ml (or about the same in grams) thick crème fraiche, or heavy cream
(I don't remember but I think I increased this quantity)
- 100g sauce (see above)
- 100g 70% chocolate
- 80ml "crème fraiche liquide" or heavy cream
- 20g soft butter
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean and reserve. Whip the egg whites at medium speed with an electric beater and very gradually, from the beginning, add half the sugar, then the vanilla seeds. Fold in the rest of the sugar carefully so as not to deflate the meringues.
Pipe (using a number 10 plain tip) the meringues into three spirals of 22 cm diameter on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Put the sheets in the oven, keeping the oven door propped open with a wooden spoon. Bake for 30 minutes at 120°C, then lower the temperature to 100°C and bake for one and a half hour more. Turn the oven off and let the meringues dry out with door propped slightly open for 2 or 3 hours. Cool on a rack.
Chocolate sauce
Chop the chocolate in small pieces. Put it in a saucepan with a thick bottom along with the water, the sugar and the cream. Mix together well with a wooden spoon.
Without ceasing to stir, bring the sauce to boiling point on a medium heat. Lower the heat and let the sauce cook while stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and coats the back of the spoon. Remove from the heat.
Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently. With an electric beater, whip the butter. Incorporate the chocolate in three parts (it should be warm but not hot, about 40°C).
In a bowl mix the egg yolks with the chocolate sauce, and mix this into the butter-chocolate mixture.
Whip the egg whites into soft peaks, adding the sugar little by little. Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture then mix the rest in carefully (use a whisk I would recommend).
Assembling the cake
Place the first meringue disk on a cardboard circle.
(I recommend placing the cardboard within a cake ring lined with plastic wrap, acetate or parchment paper, and piping the mousse around the edges for a nice cylindrical shape. See process photos below.)
Spread a first layer of chocolate mousse, gently press the second meringue disk on top, spread with mousse, add the last meringue disk, then spread top and sides with remaining mousse.
(If you used the method I recommend above you don't need to worry about the sides, though save a little mousse for touching up any holes you may not have filled along the sides of the cake.)
Place in the fridge for two hours.
1) Either wrap the cake in melted chocolate and decorate with ruffles, see process photos below or read my first post on the subject.
2) Or, as per Hermé's original recipe, place cake on a rack over parchment paper and pour glaze over the top, refraining from touching the glaze too much with a spatula. Store the cake in the refrigerator but remove from the fridge one hour before serving.
Chop the chocolate.
Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan with a thick bottom.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add a small amount (about 1/4 or 1/5?) of the chocolate and mix it very slowly with a spatula, starting from the center and stirring towards the sides of the saucepan. Continue adding the rest of the chocolate in several small batches and stirring as described above.
(All this caution is important, as otherwise the emulsion can break, which happened to me. If it happens to you, you can use the "mayonnaise method" described by Alice Medrich to save a ganache... If I remember correctly you heat up two TB of cream, then slowly trickle in your seperated ganache as you stir continuously and carefully).
Let the sauce cool to below 60°C.
At this point, add the butter that has been cut into small pieces, stirring as little as possible, then the chocolate sauce, also stirring as little as possible. The mixture should be homogenous.
Use the glaze between 35 and 40°C, pouring it onto the cake. If it has cooled too much, warm it up very gently in a warm-water bath, or in a microwave oven, without stirring.
(This glaze is a nuisance to make, but it tastes good and most important stays shiny even when the cake is stored in the fridge.)

College of Graduate Studies
Cell Regulation
Steven A. Rosenzweig, Ph.D. - Division Director
Cell regulation encompasses all the functions cells carry out to maintain homeostasis, in particular their responses to extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and how they produce an intracellular response. In addition to these endogenous agents, many drugs and environmental agents use these same mechanisms to produce their most important effects. Numerous research opportunities exist within this program ranging from studies exploring new cell signaling mechanisms, to those examining basic the aberrant signaling mechanisms associated with disease states. Significantly, many of the recent breakthroughs in drug development stem from basic studies on signaling molecules.
The Cell Regulation program is comprised of over 30 faculty members whose research interests and expertise is related to cell regulation. In addition to a track-specific Cell Regulation Journal Club, advanced courses in Cell Signaling are available to students who select this track as their major emphasis.
Cell Regulation Course Descriptions
MCBP-725D/PCOL 747 Topics in Cancer Research
Two presentation formats will be used for the course. Initially, a faculty member will introduce and direct all students in the discussion of selected literature concerning a single topic. Subsequent topics will be presented by individual students in Journal Club style. Each student will have two opportunities to present selected topics during the course and will be active discussants when other students present. Topics to be covered include: Cell Proliferation and Cycle Control Apoptosis Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes Metastasis Angiogenesis Tumor Invasion Cell Adhesion Cell Migration Signal Transduction and Growth Regulation Molecular Profiling Translation Applications Transgenic and Knockout Models. Offered in Fall Semester of alternate years.
Prerequisites: None
Credits: 3 (Pass/Fail)
Steve Rosenzweig, Ph.D., and Dennis Watson, Ph.D.
MCBP 743 - Cellular Signaling During Development
This course is designed to build on the Regulation of Gene Expression, Biomembranes, Receptors and Signaling and Systems Biology units of the first year curriculum for Ph.D. and complement ongoing Department-specific seminars and journal clubs. Cellular Signaling during development will provide the students with an indepth look at ongoing research in the field of developmental biology with a strong focus on the signaling networks that control these important processes. It will allow for a broad scope of understanding of the techniques, theories and practices involved in the delineation of cellular signaling in complex systems. Offered every Spring Semester.

South Korea: Carbon Neutral Program
China: Targets for Renewable Energy
China's energy mix will be made up of 16% renewable energy by 2020, including specific goals for each sector.
Status: In Force;
-install 5GW wind power by 2010 and 30GW wind power by 2020
-300MW installed capacity of solar power by 2010 and 1,800MW by 2020
China: Green Insurance System
China is beginning a trial phase of requiring insurance for companies that produce or use high- risk chemical products. Companies that have been prone to accidents recently will be targeted. This measure is intended to help victims of polluting industries receive timely and appropriate compensation. The insurance would prevent companies from going bankrupt after a serious environmental accident, but still give them incentive to lower their insurance costs by increasing their safety standards.
India: Ethanol Promotion
India has passed a measure to increase the blend of ethanol in gasoline from 5% to 10% by October 2008. Indian ethanol manufacturers will also begin producing directly from sugarcane instead of from molasses. The government has recommended a standard price of 21.5 rupees per liter.
Date Implemented: 2007
Status: In Force; Mandatory
China: National Climate Change Program
In June, 2007 China released its National Climate Change Program outlining the challenges that China is facing in dealing with climate change. It outlines steps that China has taken towards sustainable development and plans that China will enact in the future to address climate change. Strategies include increasing R&D, improving energy efficiency and building construction, developing renewable and nuclear energy, increasing forest cover, improving industrial policy and agriculture, and improving institutions and policies.
Brazil: Inter-ministerial Commission on Climate Change (CIMGC)
The Inter-ministerial Commission on Climate Change (CIMGC), composed of
nine ministries and headed by the Ministry of Science and Technology,
was established in 1999 for the purpose of co-ordinating
discussions on climate change and integrating the government's policies in these ministries. The CIMGC provides input on the governments involvement with the UNFCCC and sets criteria and makes decisions on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects.
Turkey: Draft bill encouraging renewables
Turkey has a great deal of potential in renewable energy. Further development, financing and market reforms are needed to allow the technologies to be competitive.
Targets: Turkey aims to provide 2% of its electricity from wind power
References: EIA Country Analysis Brief: Turkey, http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/turkey.html
EIA Turkey's Environmental Issues
Turkey: Environmental Law
This law outlines Turkey's environmental policy in general terms. It aims to protect the environment and Turkey's natural resources for the benefit of future generations. It includes the polluter pays principle. Regulations have been issued on air quality protection, water pollution control, environmental impact assessment, hazardous waste control, noise control, and the control of hazardous materials.
Date Implemented: 1983
Turkey: Automobile Standards
The Ministry of Environment and automobile manufacturers reached an agreement on environmental performance standards in new cars. Starting in 2000, all imported and locally produced new automobiles are to be equipped with catalytic converters.

By Dejan Kovacevic | Trib Total Media
If football mattered too much, then it shouldn't matter at all now.
In light of the Louis Freeh investigation report that dropped like an anvil this morning, the NCAA no longer has a choice but to aggressively pursue the so-called death penalty for Penn State football.
And the NCAA must do so independent of any other concern, any precedent. Because a case involving serial child rape and its cover-up has no other concern, no precedent.
The 267-page report took a while to download, even longer to absorb, so I started by searching for "Joe Paterno" — probably like most — and found it appeared on 69 pages.Among the references was evidence Paterno knew of the 1998 accusations of Jerry Sandusky molesting a child. That was the polar opposite of Paterno's testimony to the grand jury and what he repeated to the Washington Post's Sally Jenkins in the final interview of his life: "I never heard a thing."
It casts into doubt everything Paterno said on this matter.
Freeh said Paterno "clearly followed" the 1998 case and that the notion he wasn't aware was "completely contradicted by evidence."
Step back a moment.
That was the former director of the FBI accusing Paterno of lying in a court of law.
And being right.
And that was Freeh stressing that Paterno never informed his assistant coaches about Sandusky's behavior, never set up limitations to keep Sandusky away from children or the Lasch Building or dorm rooms during road trips, and, most powerfully, never took independent action after Mike McQueary told him of the 2001 shower incident.
In fact, in maybe his most powerful remark, Freeh pinpointed Paterno's Feb. 26, 2001, conversation with three university principals — Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz — as "critical" in the men's burying of the shower incident.
Freeh fingered Paterno as the main culprit in enabling child rape!
All of it.
Spanier, Curley and Schultz should be prosecuted with vigor.
It's too late for Paterno, but he's ruined. Bring down the statue, rename the library, melt the peachy ice cream, the whole deal. Nothing would reflect better on Penn State than if all of that happened right away.
But don't hold your breath.
Jay Paterno, ever the loyal son, sadly downplayed the Freeh report as "just one opinion" and "a piece of the puzzle."
A weepy-eyed Matt Millen, a Penn State alumnus and former NFL general manager, spent several hours on ESPN repeatedly saying "if the Freeh report is accurate," and placing all the blame on Spanier.
The Big Ten Network didn't air Freeh's news conference at all.
Karen Peetz, chair of the Board of Trustees, talked a lot about "accountability," but she never mentioned football. Other than to say, upon questioning, that the university's honoring of Paterno is "something we need to discuss."
Accountability doesn't cross the white lines, I guess.
Only the blindest supporters, blind by choice, can dismiss or diminish this now. But judging from reaction on my blog, emails and Twitter, trust me, they're still out there.
Their common argument was constructed like this:
1. Random point.
2. Second random point.
3. Hence, PLAY FOOTBALL.
Which leads me back to the death penalty.
I also counted no fewer than 11 pages on which the red-flag word "institutional" appears. That flag surely was sent flying by Freeh's investigators to catch the attention of the NCAA, which applies the abstract concept of "loss of institutional control" as its main criteria for the death penalty.
Those 11 references cannot go ignored.
I don't want to hear about loopholes in the bylaws, and I don't care what lawyers were dissecting Thursday. It's just a little safe to that covering up child rape qualifies as both a loss of institutional control and within the NCAA's ethics clause. If the NCAA believes it's right to impose the penalty, there's no question it can. SMU is still the only school hit with it, and the corruption that drew that punishment looks like a cookie stolen from an open jar compared to Penn State.
If this doesn't qualify for the death penalty, God help us on the day we find out what does.
I also don't want to hear the tired line about how you "can't punish these kids."
When Enron fraudulently redirected millions of dollars, the company didn't get off by simply firing those responsible. Other employees weren't saved. That's not how it works. Corporations, institutions and, yes, universities pay a joint price. There's always collateral damage. Ohio State's punishments for players accepting gifts in 2010, including a postseason ban, weren't wiped away when Jim Tressel walked out. Urban Meyer and his players will still pay that price.
"These kids" at Penn State can play their football elsewhere, if it comes to that. Bill O'Brien and his staff can coach elsewhere. (I'd be stunned, incidentally, if a smart man like O'Brien didn't have some sort of escape clause in his contract if this occurs.) If anyone is really seeking fairness in this situation for the current team — and not just looking to PLAY FOOTBALL — they should appeal to the NCAA that all student-athletes be allowed to transfer without limitations.
Penn Staters want to move on. I understand that. I empathize.
But this thinking that everything will be fine so long as football comes back … no, it won't. It won't be fine for the next program that loses institutional control and knows it won't face the NCAA's harshest punishment. And it won't be fine for Penn State, which will never fully recover its brand without some form of real retribution.
Look at it this way: This cover-up of horrific crimes was aimed at making sure Penn State could continue to PLAY FOOTBALL. A failure to address football leaves the very goal of the cover-up indefensibly intact.
If the university and the tens of thousands who love it truly want to move on, it's time to show football isn't the priority.
And never should have been.

Knee Arthritis
Arthritis means that the cartilage of a joint has begun breaking down over time. The loss of the smooth cartilage surface exposes bone and results in pain, stiffness, and deformity. Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease (DJD), is the most common form of knee arthritis. It affects greater than 30% of people over the age of 60. Other, less common causes of knee arthritis include conditions such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or infection.
Osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory condition that results from a combination of genetic predisposition and a person's environment, such as work type or history of injury.
All current available treatments for osteoarthritis are aimed at improving a patient's pain level. Medications are most effective when taken regularly. Injections may provide temporary pain relief with a good response measured in months. As the arthritis progresses, non-surgical options become less effective. Surgical options include Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Partial Knee Replacement. Surgery provides the most long-lasting improvements in pain relief and function.

InDesign CS6 | Export to PNG
You could always save your layouts as JPEG, but sometimes the results were less then pristine because JPEG, by design, is a lossy format. In today's web and device dominated world, if anything you need a lossless format such as PNG. And in InDesign CS6, you can do just that. Read on to figure out how to save from InDesign as PNG. This is the Save as PNG capability that you've been waiting for.
Export as PNG
- To export as PNG, choose File > Export (Ctrl/Command + E) and then select PNG from the Save as Type drop down list.
Export options
You can export a selection, a range, or All pages/spreads in your document. Additional options lets you specify, quality, resolution (ppi), color space etc.
Have you taken the PNG export for a spin yet? Have you tried InDesign CS6 ? Download a trial. Incase you need it, see the instructions to install a trial.
InDesign CS6 | Grayscale preview and export
Among the various new features in InDesign CS6, Grayscale Preview and Export should come in really handy to all print designers. For any print jobs that also need a grayscale output, you no longer need to maintain a separate file. You also don't need to send the full color PDF to the printer and cross your fingers that they'll do a proper conversion. This feature gives you proper control on your design, and reduces extra work for maintaining different layouts.
Grayscale Preview
Several Dot Gain profiles are available with InDesign CS6 that you can use to preview your layouts. Using this feature you can avoid maintaining different layouts for full-color and grayscale outputs.
- Use Proof Setup (View > Proof Setup) to specify grayscale proof options, and choose a Dot Gain or Gamma destination.
- After you've setup the proof, choose View > Proof Colors to toggle between grayscale and color output.
Export Grayscale PDF
When you export a grayscale PDF all page items, irrespective of their original color space, are converted to grayscale while exporting to PDF.
- Export document to PDF (Print)
- Click the Output tab in the PDF export options dialog box.
- From the Color Conversion list, choose Convert To Destination.
- Under Destination, choose a Dot Gain or Gray Gamma destination.
Have you tried out this feature yet? Let us know what you think. Do you think that you can use it for other workflows as well?

InDesign CS6 | Indic support and preferences
With InDesign CS6, you have the ability to create documents using indic text. Adobe World-Ready Composer (WRC) provides correct word shaping for many of the non-Western scripts, such as Devanagari. Adobe World-Ready composers in the International English version of InDesign, support several indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Telugu, Oriya, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Hunspell spelling and hyphenation dictionaries are included in InDesign CS6, and so is the Adobe Devanagari font family.
Adobe World-Ready Composer
Enable the Adobe World-Ready Composer through a paragraph style (Paragraph Style >Justification > Composer) or using the Paragraph panel menu.
Indic preferences
InDesign CS6 also provides a script that you can use to set Indic preferences. This script does the following:
- Sets Adobe World-Ready composer as the default composer.
- Specifies using Adobe World-Ready Composer for [No Paragraph Style]. This enables you to import content into InDesign.
- Sets the font locking preferences. This means typing in Indic script in a font that doesn't support Indic will switch to one that does.
- If you try to change text that has Indic to a font that doesn't support those glyphs will bring up a warning.
- In addition, it also changes the default page size, and snap zone
Set Indic preferences
Set Indic preferences to work on indic scripts, and correctly import content into InDesign.
- Choose Window > Utilities > Scripts
- Double-click indicPreferences.js
- Open a new document or restart InDesign
To dump indic preferences, simply revert to the default preferences.
- On Windows, press Shift +Ctrl+Alt and then start InDesign CS6
- On Mac OS, press Shift+Command+Alt and then start InDesign CS6

Adobe Creative Cloud | How it can change the way you work
Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud, Design on May 3, 2012
This blog post is about why I think Adobe® Creative Cloud™ has the potential to change the way we work, the problems it solves, and effect it may have on the way the traditional digital media businesses operates.
What is Creative Cloud?
Adobe® Creative Cloud™ is the digital hub that lets you download and install every Adobe Creative Suite® 6 application; access online services for file sharing, collaboration, and publishing; and benefit from new apps and features as soon as they're released — giving you the freedom to create anything you can imagine.
A lot has already been said about the offering:
- I particularly like Cari Jansen's post on why the Creative Cloud is great; and Scott Kelby's Q&A should help you make informed decisions.
- There has been press coverage as well: ZDNET, ComputerWorld, and PCWorld to name a few.
At the heart of it, Adobe Creative Cloud it offers compelling value to designers.
But the more I think about it, I see it as an agent for change. As it rolls out and touches other parts of the digital media ecosystem, it has the potential to simplify business and streamlines operations. So that you can concentrate on doing what you do best: Design!
Offers compelling value
Typically, you use several tools and platforms in your day to day lives: Creative Suite Software, tablet applications, cloud storage such as DropBox or Google Drive etc. If you add up the cost of all software that you use, you'll be way over the subscription cost for Adobe Creative Cloud.
So, in brief, Creative Cloud is:
- Creative Suite applications. All of them. You can install as many (or as few) as you want.
- Access to latest software. For example, Adobe Muse and Edge Preview.
- Adobe Touch tools for tablet devices
- Services such as TypeKit, and Digital Publishing Suite
- Cloud storage
- Multi-platform. Yes, both Mac OS and Windows
- Integration between the various components. For details see the Creative Cloud product page.
For more information, head over to the Buying Guide and see how it stacks up.
Access to latest software
In today's fast paced world where technology changes in the blink of an eye, you need the latest tools. The speed with which you adapt to new technologies plays a crucial role in how successful you are. Adobe Creative Cloud ensures that you'll always have the latest and greatest software. As updates are released, they'll reach you. If new software is added to the offering, it'll reach you. You'll never have to fork over extra cash for these new features, or wait for the next upgrade.
If you operate your own business, or talk to your accountants, you'll also appreciate the simplicity of this model. No mores accounting hassles. No more additional purchase orders or invoices to track. No planned budget overruns.
Expand service offerings
Traditionally, folks specialized in particular arts or mediums. The video people are different from print guys, and web guys are ones with long beards in the basement hacking away at the keyboards, and tablet folks are geeks with all the Objective C and stuff.
Adobe Creative Cloud, in its own way erases these boundaries. (OK, does not erase them but lowers the barriers to entry.) You can now expand into adjacent markets, and offer services in areas that you earlier were not operating in. As there is no upfront cost of acquiring new software, it is less expensive for a print specialist to move into digital publications for tablet devices. (and maybe later evolve into video production). This also empowers you to create true multi-media deliverables that were expensive due to upfront software costs.
Adobe Creative Cloud, by leveling the field, will probably hot up some competition. All providers in the market will have access to the same tools. And talent will shine through sooner, rather than later.
Remove fragmentation
If you've ever sent a file to the printing service, and have them call back and say that they can't open the file, you already know what I'm talking about. Adobe Creative Cloud has the potential to standardize the entire ecosystem to the same version of software tools. You can continue to push the boundaries and operate on the cutting edge, safe in the knowledge that your designs can be opened by others. No one will ever complain about not being able to open the files, or god forbid open the file in a version higher than yours and effectively lock you out.
As the Creative Cloud concept picks up, I suspect that the entire tools and plugins ecosystem will also adopt this model. Your favorite plugin vendor will probably move to the subscription model and you'll have access to the latest and greatest plugins. As software vendors won't really have to spend all that time and effort maintaining old code, you'll probably get more features and a bigger bang for your buck.
Training will also evolve, and your training partners will offer updated courses as new features are released.
It'll probably happen. It's just a matter of time.
So, what do you think?
I've tried to elaborate on what I think the value proposition is—value to designers, and the industry as a whole. I'm sure there is more to think about, but this is enough for now.

Five years ago, a leading Japanese neuroscientist created controversy with his research asserting that videogames impede brain development in kids. How ironic, then, that a videogame targeting their parents and grandparents is now transforming this obscure professor into an international celebrity.
Not only did Ryuta Kawashima, M.D., help develop the hot new videogame based on his brain imaging research, but he actually stars in it. As 5 million players work their way through mind games designed to stimulate the brain, they're coached by an animated version of Dr. Kawashima.
The real Dr. Kawashima was approached by Nintendo after finding that functional MRI scans showed videogames don't use the prefrontal cortex, which controls creativity, memory and communication. Based on his findings that mental challenges build brain power, he explored developing a game to exercise those frontal regions. He spent five months working with programmers in his lab, attaching electrodes to gamers' heads and using scans to determine which puzzles most activated the brain. He found increased brain activity when people were performing simple math calculations and reading aloud.
The result just hit U.S. stores in the form of a Nintendo game called "Brain Age: Training Your Brain in Minutes a Day!"
"I wanted to make a contribution through my findings: to tell the world that you can train the brain," says Dr. Kawashima. "But I didn't think it would be this big."
