Biological membranes are complex and dynamic structures. The biological functions associated with membranes involve a number of different molecular species, and theories of how the molecular species are organized are still evolving. The fluid mosaic model of freely diffusing proteins and lipids in a two-dimensional fluid [1] has been refined to account for the presence of functional domains [2-4]. The composition, dynamics, source, and even existence of discrete segregated features, such as membrane rafts, are currently sources of significant controversy [5,6]. As a result of ambiguities in the complex nature of biomembranes, better physical and theoretical models are constantly under development. Both lipid and protein components of membranes are responsible for membrane function as well as structure. In addition, membrane protein function can be influenced by the lipid matrix that surrounds it. Attempts to understand integral membrane protein structure at the atomic level by crystallization and diffraction remains a critical challenge. Only a few membrane protein structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction [7-9]. It is assumed that the protein s crystal structure is likely to be the same as that of the active protein in its native membrane environment; in fact, the function of bacteriorhodopsin in crystals has been demonstrated directly [10]. Nevertheless, part of the challenge associated with membrane protein structures is that their native structure and function can be highly dependent on an appropriate lipid environment. Two-dimensional protein crystallization provides some promise of a general way of crystallizaing membrane proteins in the presence of lipid or detergent [II]. In general, the lipid environment is highly dynamic, and moving molecules are not good subjects for X-ray diffraction. Understanding how membrane protein structural changes are responsible for functions such as transport and signal transduction is a critical issue. Active biological membranes are dynamic on a time scale of minutes and hours at the cellular level (e.g., membrane trafficking), and on a scale of milliseconds and nanoseconds on the intermolecular and intramolecular levels. The function of membrane proteins during transport of molecules across the lipid barrier, or during intracellular kinase activation resulting form an extracellular ligand binding to a receptor, likely occurs via protein conformational changes. In addition to such intramolecular dynamics, protein and lipid components diffuse laterally in the plane of the membrane, and different approaches to study diffusion can provide information on appropriately different time scales [12,13]. Furthermore, lipid components can diffuse between the membrane and the surrounding aqueous milieu, by a process that is well explained by thermodynamic considerations [14]. infrared, neutron reflectivity, atomic force microscopy, sum frequency generation, impedance and electrochemical studies performed at NIST are presented.

Can I drill one more hole on top plate for drain pipe
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all, I'm looking to relocate some drain pipes and I'm wondering if I can drill holes on the top plate of the wall to run this pipe?
Seen on the image, there is already a central vac pipe (gray pipe) running through this double 2x6 top plate. I want to reroute the drain pipe (black pipe shown in image) to adjacent (location shown by red circle) to the existing central vac pipe. So I'm wondering if it's okay to drill a hole there when there is already another hole drilled for the central vac pipe?
This is a load bearing wall with 2x6 framing.
Yes. Joist is sitting on stud and the corner does not look critical, such as outside corner.
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks so much!
Just want to supply more information. This is actually a small closet within that laundry room that I wish to knock out to create a more open laundry room. Because the drain pipe sit inside the closet wall, hence I want relocate it once that closet is eliminated.
I've attached a floor plan of that area. The red line top plate represent the closet wall shown in red on the floor plan. The blue line top plate represent the load bearing wall shown in blue on the floor plan.
Adding this extra information, just want to double confirm that it's still ok to drill the extra hole?

She has been part of six films in two years, and Huma Qureshi feels she couldn't possibly have done better for herself. Proud of her films and secure about her talent, the young actor talks about her rivals, goofy nature and being compared to Vidya Balan.
Your role in Dedh Ishqiya is of a bold and brazen girl. Do you share any similarities with her?
My character (Munia) is a mysterious, likable, modern girl. She is unpredictable. She will be at
one minute and meet shady men in alleys the next. She's
(ill-mannered) and direct. Munia is far more aggressive than I am. I am a happy-go-lucky person – a goof ball – unlike the intense Munia.
Do comparisons with Vidya Balan who did the original, bother you?
I knew there would be comparisons with Ishqiya (2010) Vidya had done a phenomenal job. More than pressure, I feel flattered that my name is taken along with Vidya's. Sequels have a lot of pressure to deliver. especially for the makers. I treated it as a fresh film and didn't worry about the shoes I had to fill.
Richa Chadda and you were touted to be rivals after working together in Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). Do you consider her competition?
I have never been in competition with anyone and neither do I intend to. I am not in the rat race. I am not insecure and I like doing my own thing. Everyone from Gangs is getting good work and the critical acclaim and films that we deserve.
Six films down, you seem to be sticking to parallel cinema. Do you plan to do more commercial movies?
I would love to do
films, as I grew up watching them. I love the song and dance routine. As an actor I want to keep increasing my fan base. I am glad to have got an opportunity to do such a variety of films, but there are many more genres that I would like to explore.

I've wanted to add labels to my clothing for awhile and have been searching for the most cost effective (and simple) way to do it; however, most of the options available were either too expensive considering I'm not pushing out 100's of garments per month or they were just too time consuming. A few weeks ago I was doin' my casual stroll through the halls of Pinterest and stumbled upon a few awesome pins for making your own clothing labels using the fabric company Spoonflower. This was the easiest process ever. I created my labels online in less than 30 minutes, paid less than $12 and had my labels on my doorstep in just a little over a week!
Here's how I did it:
Step One: Design your labels Depending on the details of your label, you can start with a word processing program like Microsoft Word if you're using words only, or if you are including graphics in your design, I suggest using a graphic design or image editing software (photoshop, illustrator, etc.) that produces a jpeg image. I chose picmonkey.com for this project. It's fast, simple to use and free!
I designed two labels. One for girls and one for boys:
Step 2: Upload. Once your design has been saved to your computer, upload your artwork to Spoonflower. If you don't already have an account, set one up and sign in. Once signed in, click on the tab "CREATE"
Using the browse button, find your artwork and click on the "UPLOAD FILE" button.
Step 3: Adjust your label size. The next page will show how your labels will be printed. Using the rulers provided measure the size of your labels and make any adjustments necessary using the "DESIGN SIZE: (Edit This)" link. I'd recommend a seam allowance of at least ½" around each label. My labels are pretty large so my seam allowance is about ¼". It made the ironing more challenging but it still worked.
My final label measurement was 2.4 x 1.6″ before ironing.
Step 4: Finalize your selection. Select your fabric type and size and add to your cart. Here's a nice hint: Fabric swatches are 8×8″ and cost $5.00 no matter what type of fabric you choose. I purchased 2 swatches (linen/canvas) and paid $1 for shipping for a grand total of $11!!! I ended up with 30 labels, so, including shipping, I paid about 37¢ per label. If you make your labels smaller than mine, more will fit on the fabric and you'll save even more money per label.
This is what my labels looked like when they arrived:
They really do look fantastic in person.
Sewing Your Labels
1) Cut. Carefully cut out your labels making sure that you leave enough space around each label to fold under
3) Sew. I found it easier to iron 2 opposite sides, sew, and then iron the other two sides and sew.
4) Find a cute spot for your labels and sew away!
Here are some other crafty ladies who've found success using Spoonflower for their labels. You might find some extra hints or suggestions to make your label making experience even better:
See Kate Sew (uses a cardboard insert to shape her labels when ironing)
Things for Boys (printed her labels on the bias to avoid raveling)
Noise Tea Academy (uses a bias tape maker for her labels)
Shelly Made (great tutorial for creating labels to sew into the interior of a garment like waistbands, neckbands, etc)
Lookin' for more great tutorials, private giveaways and more?[mc4wp-form]

I have had a K&N filter on loads of cars over the years and HAD one on my 520d until last week.
I changed for a standard filter and the results were really good. From the get go there is more torque and smother acceleration, so I had this explained to me the other day and see if you think it seems right.
BMW make a diesel motor with a standard air filter the size at which is flow rated to the power and pull of the flow of air required for the optimum smooth running of the car.
Then they create an inter cooler again which is sized to match the rate of flow of gas through it. Its job is to cool the flow of gas so the motor can burn it again at the optimum temp, thus more power and efficiency.
Right if we put a bigger or less restrictive filter in the air box it will allow more air in. The ecu will compensate for this a bit by fueling more but the inter cooler is still the same size. So the bigger volume of gas passing by the inter cooler can not be cooled at the same rate as a standard flow of gas so is warmer and less efficient so the motor makes less power.
I have found this with changing back to a standard filter. Having this explained to me made me try it, and the motto ere is with modern diesel motors standard filters seem to be best. This may not apply to petrol engines. Does this sound right to you.

The Falcons brain trust was out in full force for Georgia's pro day.
The team was represented by general manager Thomas Dimitroff, head coach Mike Smith, director of player personnel Les Snead, assistant director of player personnel Lionel Vital, director of college scouting David Caldwell and scout Taylor Smith.
There was extremely heavy interest league-wide because Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford did not throw at the NFL scouting combine in February. Stafford was hoping to impress the Detroit Lions, who have the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, which will be held on April 25 and 26.
"I think it would be all right to be picked No. 1," Stafford said. "Also, I want to get a chance to turn something around. It would be a heck of a place for me to go."
The Falcons will not be in the hunt for Stafford or Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno, who figure to be long gone by the 24th pick. They also resolved those positions last season by drafting quarterback Matt Ryan and signing running back Michael Turner in free agency.
However, there are some other Bulldogs who might entice Dimitroff and the rest of the personnel department.
Cornerback Asher Allen, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, defensive tackle Corvey Irvin, wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, fullback Brannan Southerland and defensive end Jarious Wynn all participated in the NFL scouting combine.
Safety C.J. Byrd and wide receiver Demiko Goodman had fine showings at the team's pro day an may earn late round or free agency considerations.
Allen fills and need and Ellerbe could help re-stock a depleted linebacking unit.
--The Falcons decided to withdraw the offer from free agent tight end L.J. Smith, who later signed with the Ravens. The team liked him on his visit, but upon further review they decided that he was not a good scheme fit.
The Falcons hung their hat on the running game. They plan to continue to run the ball and Smith's blocking skills were considered not to be up to par.
--Quarterback Matthew Stafford put on dazzling passing exhibition at the University of Georgia's pro day to help solidify his spot near the top of the NFL Draft.
The draft eligible junior scripted out his 50 throws and worked under the direction of Georgia offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo on Thursday.
He started off slow and missed on a couple of throws to his left that sailed high, but Stafford was pleased with the overall workout.
"I wanted to be able to throw a bunch of balls," Stafford said. "In Indy you get to throw 10 to 15 balls. It was a good chance for me to get out here and throw 50 and let people see.
"I can't give a grade on it, but I felt pretty good. I missed one or two that were just too high, but other than that it went well."
--The Falcons appeared to be interested in Georgia cornerback Asher Allen, who ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, but showed weak ball skills. Cornerback Ramarcus Brown, who trained with Deion Sanders to prepare for the workouts, injured his left hamstring and had to pull out. Sanders was in attendance. The Falcons are looking to improve their cornerback play after allowing Domonique Foxworth to leave as a free agent.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "He's a very knowledgeable player. He enjoys the X and Os, design of the game. Eventually, he says that when football is done he wants to be a coach and it shows in his preparation." -- Seattle offensive coordinator Greg Knapp on University of Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford at the school's pro day.
The Falcons have not addressed the outside edges of their defense after letting their two starting outside linebackers - Michael Boley and Keith Brooking - leave during free agency. After personnel review, they want to get a better rush off the edge opposite of defensive end John Abraham.
Jamaal Anderson has started the last two seasons at right end, but had not developed into a force.
Larry English, a defensive end from Northern Illinois or a linebacker like USC's Clay Matthews could be options for the team with the 24th pick in the draft.
With the Falcons electing to pass on free agent tight end L.J. Smith, they will likely attempt to fill that void during the upcoming draft. There are several talented tight ends that are considered more pass catchers than blockers.
Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew is considered the top tight end in the draft, but some are concerned after he ran so slow at the combine. It was also alarming that he didn't score any touchdowns last season, suggesting that he doesn't have enough speed to get NFL level separation.
Other tight ends like Missouri's Chase Coffman, Rice's James Casey and South Carolina's Jared Cook are potentially good pro level pass catching tight ends that might be available in the second through fourth rounds.
1. Cornerback: Domonique Foxworth, the team's top cornerback, signed with Baltimore. The team doesn't appear to be enthralled with right cornerback Chris Houston. So cornerback is a position that must be addressed.
2. Safety: Thomas DeCoud and Jamaal Fudge are the top candidates to replace Lawyer Milloy at strong safety. Also, Antoine Harris is on the roster, but is coming off of a knee injury.
3. Outside linebackers. The Falcons signed Mike Peterson, who has played all three linebacker positions. He could win one of the outside positions, but will turn 33 in June. They will likely elect to select his heir apparent in the draft.
MEDICAL WATCH: No updates.
FRANCHISE PLAYER: P/K Michael Koenen: Tendered at $2.483M; signed tender Feb. 17.
TRANSITION PLAYER: None.
--OT Wayne Gandy is veteran who could provide quality depth behind some young tackles.
--SS Lawyer Milloy will not return. He would like to end his career in Seattle and be reunited with coach Jim Mora.
--TE Marcus Pollard was signed late in the season and probably won't return.

Experienced mothers question about my son
Posted in the Seymour Forum
1 - 20 of 23 Comments Last updated Mar 21, 2013
#1 Mar 18, 2013
i took my son to the er the other day and it turns out he has tonsilitius. they gave him antibiotics. my question is, is it normal for him not to be eating? he hasnt ate a meal in close to a week. but he will eat half a banana and any sweet thing that u put in his face. if i go towards him with a spoon he will run so i grab him and try and open his mouth. he has his teeth closed so tight together that its hard to get that first bite in. but once i do get that first bite in he will come back for a few more bites and then he will stop eating it. he likes to spit his food back out also. idk what to do with this situation. i feel like he is starving. but he dont act hungry. is there any tips or anything that yall can give me bc i am on the last straw. im going crazy with fighting with him all day. he is 14 months old.
#2 Mar 18, 2013
Run dont walk to children's hospital.good luck honey
#3 Mar 18, 2013
How come hospital again? whats ur reasoning behind u saying that so i know what to tell them
#4 Mar 18, 2013
Firstly, don't panic. Do you have a primary care doc for your son? If not get one, use a trusted family doc or get in the yellow pages. If your son is on antibiotics and is not well hydrated he could have thrush. Is the inside of his mouth white like a thick coating? He may not be eating cause his mouth is sore inside and sweet foods make the yeast grow even more. Call your child's doc tomorrow, they will probably work him in. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
#5 Mar 18, 2013
He drinks at least 4 to 5 sippy cups a day. he just wont eat anything thats good for him. i looked in his mouth and it looks alright. the dr at the hospital said his tonsils were red. he isnt acting any different. a momma just knows when her baby is hungry. he use to be a hog
#6 Mar 18, 2013
He drinks 4 to 5 sippy cups a day. he just wont eat ne thing thats good for him. its not thrush i had the er look for that while we were there bc my mom said i had that when i was a baby. so she made sure i knew to ask about that.
#7 Mar 18, 2013
If he is hydrating well there is no need for the E.R. The thrush would have developed as a result if the antibiotics, but since you say his mouth is not white inside that is probably not the case. Again, get him to a good family physician in the A.M. Good luck.
#8 Mar 18, 2013
Thank you guys
#9 Mar 19, 2013
I take my baby to Knoxville pediatric associates and I love them down there. They have so many different ways to make sure you're taken care of properly. They have nurses line for questions such as this one, they are in on sat and sun so you don't have to take baby to er, and they have seperate waiting room one for sick and one for well. I gave you this information just in case you did not have a per. or if you happen to not be happy with your current one. The phone number to the clinch office which is right next to children's hospital is eight six five five two five zero two two eight.
#10 Mar 19, 2013
If the dr doesnt find anything wrong except his tonsils being red then he may just be spoiled. Thats okay because all mothers spoil their kids. But you may want to take the sippy cup from him and tell him hes not getting it back until he eats. Hes not going to starve, he will eat when hes hungry. I have 3 kuds and when my son was little he did the same thing. Hes tonsils werent inflamed but the dr told me that babies would rather suck a bottle or cup because its not too much work. So I took his cup and wouldnt let him have until he ate. After about 3 days of it he finally started eating and I gave it back to him. This may not be the issue. The first thing you need to fo is get him a proper dr to do a proper check up. If nothing comes from that then you may want to take his cup. Im not saying to NOT give him anything to drink. What I mean is not let him suck it 24/7 and dont give him Milk either. If his tonsils are inflamed any dairy will thicken his salive and itll make it harder for him to swallow. A doctor will tell you that. Also dont give him sugary drinks. That may make him not want to put the cup down for dinner. Any kid will chose sugar over anything healthy. Heck..most adults do too. Hope it all works out for ya. Good Luck.

My lil man is spoiled lol. its not even a good thing and not even half way funny. its so bad to the point that he will chase me thru the house just not to loose sight of me and if he does he will scream and cry. also my son dont drink milk. december of last year he came down with broncitus and his grandma had him for 2 weeks while i was n hospital bc i came down with same thing but worse while being pregnant again, ne ways she didnt give him milk not once and when i tried to give him milk when he got better he would not drink it. i couldnt even squirt it down his throat with a medicin syringe. he is way to spoiled in my opinion. but idk how to break him. i know i need to get him outta my bed and into his own b4 new bby comes. i know from experience that i will never sleep with the new baby bc its a very hard to break. when he is at grandmas house he will sleep by himself but with me he wont.

I went through that too. Heres how I done it..After getting him a "big boy" bed, at night I would put him in it and lay down with him until he went to sleep. Then I would get up and go to my bed. At first he would wake up and come back to my room and that was fine. I was only trying to get him use to the bed then. But after a couple weeks of him falling asleep in it he finally started to stay in it. It was kinda like potty training. It does take time but it will work. Just dont try to fight with him or try to make him stay in his bed at first. Let me feel like hes doing it all on his own. Also, if youre pregnant he may already be getting jealous. If hes that attached to you now then you can imagine how its going to be when the new baby comes so if I were you Id be getting him in his bed now. If you dont want to lay in the bed with him then you can sit in the floor by the bed. And just move closer to the door the deeper he gets to sleep. I hope this helps. I know all too well how a spoiled little boy is. I have 3 lol. My youngest is now 7 and my oldest is fixing to turn 14. So ive been through all of this. Good luck.

I worried myself sick when my little boy was small. He just wouldn't eat. He would fill up on juice, but no solid foods. My daddy said" baby don't worry about him not eating, because when he gets hungry enough he will eat"! I would give him half cup of juice and when he ask for more I would tell him he had to eat a few bites, then more juice. It worked. I started out with KFC mashed potatoes. He ate a few bites then I would give him a little juice. I gave him enough juice that equaled to his bites. He turned out to be a strong, healthy, young man. He didn't starve after all. Now when he comes to visit, he eats everything in sight!! Lol
#14 Mar 19, 2013
See if he will take some pedialite (sp). Push on his skin with your finger and if his skin goes back to normal color quick then he is not dehydrated. Good luck!

Lindsay...do not post again
#16 Mar 19, 2013
You have some good advice here. The only thing I can add is be careful of letting children take too many antibiotics. Repeated tonsilitous may mean they have to be removed. An ear nose & throat doctor can help.
#17 Mar 19, 2013
How can he be dehydrated when i said he drinks 4 to 5 sippy cups a day? i really appreciate the fact that u thought u were trying to help but i honestly think u shoulda re read my post. MY CHILD WONT EAT! has nothing to do with being dehydrated. thank you. have a nice day... if i seem snappy its bc of my picky lil boy.
#18 Mar 19, 2013
i do need to make him an appt at a place like that... not only to make sure everything looks good but also to find out what he may be allergic to. thank you thats a good idea also.
#19 Mar 19, 2013
i never thought about that lol sneaking to the door little by little. im going to try morrow night as he is already in the bed with me tonight. and i just read ur post. but yes the sooner the better. thank you also. u have been a big help.
#20 Mar 19, 2013
You're very welcome. I'm sure you will pass a helping hand on when you find someone in need. God bless your little boy.

Event Details
doors open at 7pm & A Rain or Shine Event
Chan Marshall stops time. She sits at a piano or lays her guitar across her lap, and whether it's a noisy club overflowing with drunks or a coffee house full of laptoppers, Chan Marshall draws all the attention in the room and makes the world stop spinning. As Cat Power, Marshall's music seems to rise from nowhere, envelop the room, then vanish; listeners know they've been hit by something but they're not sure what.
For 'The Greatest' (not a greatest hits, but the brand-new studio album), Marshall returned to Memphis, pursuing this time the slinky Hi Records sound of the 70s, famed for its sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green's guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon "Teenie" Hodges to play guitar on the whole album (Teenie co-wrote "Love and Happiness" and "Take Me to the River," among other soul classics). With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy "Flick" Hodges, who plays on half of the album (Memphis A-team bassist Dave Smith supplements). Anchoring the band is Steve Potts, whose reputation on drums was solidified when the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG's asked him to replace their late drummer, Al Jackson. Other top Memphis musicians guest on keyboards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and has created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on.
'The Greatest' adds to Cat Power's singular sound all the elements that make an Al Green record great: Memphis horns, funky string arrangements, smooth background vocals. "Lived in Bars" is a hypnotic song that seems to start in the middle of the night and flow backward like water upstream to the source of a good time. Many songs hearken back to earlier in Cat Power's career, like the surface simplicity of "Willie"—much more complicated upon deeper listen—and like "Where Is My Love," which sounds like it could be the first song she ever wrote, and also the one to which she has always aspired. "Living Proof," on the other hand, has an almost gospel-like swing that stands in contrast to the quieter songs. The ethereal title track is the missing link between Big Star 3rd and the 21st century; if Alex Chilton were today a beautiful young woman, he'd sound like this.
Recording in Memphis is actually a return performance for Chan Marshall. She first came to the city of Southern Soul in February 1996 to record her second album, 'What Would The Community Think?' The engineer on that session was Stuart Sikes, who recorded many sessions at the Easley-McCain Studio. Sikes leapt from indie-rock notoriety to mainstream prominence with his work mixing Loretta Lynn's Jack White-produced Van Lear Rose, which won a Grammy.
This album was recorded at Ardent Studios, the renowned home to the Big Star legacy, also used by Stax as their alternate studio, and graced by everyone from Bob Dylan to the North Mississippi All Stars. And now, also, Cat Power.

Say What! — Aubrey O'Day Claims She Worked with Fidel Castro + More
Apparently Aubrey O'Day's knew Fidel Castro. Did you know that? "I met him and worked with him when I was in Cuba," she said on Sean Hannity's Fox TV show. "I'm not defending his behavior in many instances, but I do have to say that I will 100 percent agree he's an incredibly brilliant man." She later changed her mind and claimed she meant she'd studied Castro once, when she was in college. Seriously. [Youtube]

Here's a great story. Police in Iowa City got a call from a man saying that his wallet had been stolen from his apartment. The police started the investigation, and they quickly discovered that that the crook was not hard to find. That was because Kody David Merrival, the alleged thief, made all kinds of dumb mistakes when using the card:
- He purchased some coffee from Java House, but he used his own Java Peaks account to buy it.
- He bought a carton of cigarettes with the card and signed with his own signature.
- He then attempted to buy $154.21 worth of merchandise. When the card came up stolen, he presented his own identification.
- He then attempted to make another purchase AFTER the card had shown stolen at the previous establishment.
When the police finally nabbed him, he claimed that he had found the cards in his living room after a party.
Why oh why can't all crooks be this dumb. I guess if they were, a lot of people would be out of a job. I really think I can live with that trade-off, even though I would be one of the ones to lose a job.

observer ONLINE
by Amal Hewavissenti
Can anyone flatly contradict the
statement that the brain plays the role of the control room of our body?
Unquestionably, it has an astonishing ability to provide chances for us
to gain access to everything we wish to have in life and to satisfy our
hidden desires. For example, the brian blesses us with the mechanism of
dreaming in which we are given wonderful emotional solace and a sense of
fulfillment of certain things impossible in real life.
What brings your desires, wishes, hopes, plans and expectations to a
practical reality is nothing other than the brain. If we have the due
sensibility to use our brain the way we want, it will do wonders for us
with its unparalleled power.
You already know that the brain, once infused with superstition, may
lose itself on the wrong track in the same way as a computer with an
infected virus, never works. So, never feed the brain with poisonous
superstitions that may prematurely kill its initiative but charge it
with positivity to reap the fruits of your life. Perhaps you may agree
with me if I say that a man achieves lifelong success not by the effect
of luck, destiny, social class or lines on his palm, but by the correct
use of positive thinking issued by the brain.
As you see, eminent scholars, multi billionaires, politicians,
businessmen or scientists have emerged not out of the power of skin
colour, beauty, social class or caste, but on the clever use of brain.
To make a long story short, skin colour or the wealth line on the palm
cannot determine one's success, but brain is the architect behind one's
success or what we call "luck". Many a time you may have been warned to
'use your brain' when you have miscalculated someone or mishandled a
situation. It is absurd to keep looking for a systematic institution
where you are taught how to use the brain in order to achieve the best.
Unluckily we find no qualified person to teach us what the brain is
capable of doing or how it should be exploited to help us take sensible
decisions. What is most important about the function of brain is that it
is your unique protector and it is willingly ready to give you highly
powerful ideas for success.
You may have experiences with your 'body clock' in the brain giving
you certain types of alarms as you adjust it. You may firmly think of
getting up at 5 in the morning just before you fall asleep - a simple
command to the brain to wake you up. The body clock of the brain wakes
you up precisely at the time. How is it that the brain is aware of time?
Nobody can explain it.
This precisely is the superpower latest in the brain which likes to
do miracles for us but is never allowed to do it. We must keep in mind
that whenever we keep thinking on our own, we are doing nothing other
than directly conversing with our brain.
If a certain idea plants itself strongly in the brain, it will carry
the idea into effect. The best exercise for it is thinking on fresh
horizons. Brain can actually give signals to the body to accomplish what
we really keep on thinking.
In that case, we must take particular care not to nurture negative,
detrimental thoughts as it may identify them to be our goal and
implement them. If some fear of deadly decease looms over us, we may,
before long, find ourselves plagued with it. That is how brain responds
to negative impulses.
For example, an aged mother who lamented over the death of her own
daughter and kept on with obsession of her own death, died exactly on
the same day of the following year - on the very day of the first year's
alms giving to mark her daughter's death. This is a real incident that
shows how alert the brain is to carry into effect what we think, whether
negative or positive. So, dispel all negative feelings and ideas from it
and it will be there to play its part wonderfully well. Again I would
say, never infuse bad thoughts in to it because it does not distinguish
good from evil once you are firm on it. It is pretty quick to respond to
bad emotions.
The brain helps us to suppress as otherwise long-winded depressive
grief over a serious loss or bereavement of a loved one.
It effectively removes the sad memories and unfavourable emotions
from our minds within a considerably short period of time. The brain,
therefore is the sole protector of our life and it, if used amiss, can
sink us in to the deepest abyss of life.

Acer Aspire One 532
The best 2G Atom machine?
Posted in Personal Tech, 22nd March 2010 12:02 GMT
Review If you thought the netbook market was already flooded, Intel's recently-launched 'Pine Trail' platform means you can expect another new batch to come through. We've already seen Asus' take on Pine Trail with the Eee PC 1005PE - reviewed here. Now we have Acer's Aspire One 532h.
Acer's Aspire One 532: 'Pine Trail' pioneer?
Like the 1005PE, Acer's 532h is powered by Intel's 1.66GHz Atom N450 processor. This is joined by 1GB of DDR 2 memory and integrated GMA3150 graphics – as with all Pine Trail netbooks, the graphics and memory controllers are both housed on the CPU. Intel claims this results in enhanced battery life and improved performance.
The 532h is an attractive piece of kit. Its glossy lid - silver, blue and red are the colour options - might be a prone to a few smudge marks, but it looks striking and features smooth, curved edges.
It's also reasonably lightweight and, on our scales, clocked in at 1.21kg. Adding the power supply to a netbook usually increases the total weight by around 300g, but at 200g Acer's compact, phone-style adapter means you'll have slightly less to lug around. The weight saving might not be massive, but you will appreciate the adapter's reduced bulk.
A simple, yet attractive chassis
Acer quotes the 532h's thickness at 25mm, but that's if you opt for the three-cell battery variant - as seen in some of the photos here. Our review sample had the six-cell battery. This doesn't poke out from the rear, but it does bulge out underneath the netbook, which pushes the thickness at this section to 38mm.
In the past, Acer has gone with two different types of keyboard. The original Aspire One, along with a few subsequent models, featured a standard, raised-key design, while the more recent Aspire One 751 - reviewed here - had a flat, low-profile keyboard. With the 523h, Acer's gone with the low-profile version. However, while the 11.6in display of the 751 meant a bigger chassis and more room for the keys, on this 10.1in model things are a bit more cramped. Acer's done well to use every last bit of the keyboard's width, but there's very little space between the keys so it's all too easy to slip onto a neighbouring key. As expected, some squishing has occurred, including the left Shift, '#', ']' and arrow keys.
Large keys, but not the easiest to type on
We're not fans of what Acer's done to the touchpad. It's made of the same glossy plastic as the rest of the chassis and, in an attempt to add some texture, it's been splattered with tiny circular pads. Acer calls this an "anti-slip microbead" texture, but we have to question whether a touchpad should have an anti-slip texture – if anything, you want it to encourage slippage. We found our fingers didn't run across the touchpad very easily; something that proved a particular nuisance when attempting to make small, precise movements. Stick with a light touch and things aren't too bad, but we'd prefer something a bit smoother.
The touchpad is also multi-touch, but attempting to perform rotating or zooming motions with two fingers is tricky given its small size. A single rocker-bar sits below it and provides solid left and right mouse clicks – this bar also matches the lid colour.
Acer, there's no need for an anti-slip covering on a touchpad
The 10.1in display has a native resolution of 1024 x 600 and sports a glossy coating. Reflections are obviously exaggerated by the screen's shiny nature, but colours are good and it performed well even in bright sunlight. If you prefer your netbooks to have a non-glossy display, watch out for the Samsung N220 - reviewed here.
As for ports, the three USB sockets - two on the left, one on the right - are joined by Ethernet, VGA, audio in and out, and a multi-format memory card slot. We found the USB ports to be tight, with attached devices requiring a pretty hefty tug to remove them.
Audio is provided by two speakers situated at the front of the laptop. They're not especially loud, but at least there's no distortion when the volume's at full whack.
The innards are easy to get at, but a memory upgrade isn't an option
A 250GB hard drive provides plenty of storage and networking comes in the form of the 10/100Mb/s Ethernet port and built-in 802.11n wireless. According to Acer, Bluetooth and, more interestingly, 3G are both options, but we couldn't find any such models on sale in the UK.
Acer has done a sterling job in making the internals easy to get at. Two separate panels can be removed on the underside: one lets you access the hard drive and wireless card, the other reveals a single memory slot. If your geek brain is already formulating plans for a 2GB upgrade, we've some bad news for you: the 532h will only recognise 1GB. This limitation is a real shame, especially since the installed Windows 7 Starter would benefit hugely from a memory upgrade.
In need of a performance boost, we installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Impressively, everything appeared to work without the need for additional drivers, including the wired and wireless network hardware. As expected, it was also much faster than the Microsoft alternative. Further testing revealed a few glitches, such as the microphone and SD slot not functioning, and no multi-touch gestures on the touchpad, but nothing too major.
PCMark 05 Results
Longer bars are better
Video Loop Battery Life Test Results
Battery life in Minutes
Longer bars are better
As with the Asus Eee PC 1005PE, Intel's new Atom N450 didn't do anything special in the PCMark05 benchmark. The CPU and Memory scores were a smidgen higher than the 1005PE achieved, but they still lag behind many of the old, N280-based netbooks we've tested.
The six-cell battery gives the netbook a slight tilt
3DMark06 just about ran, with an overall score of 156 at the 532h's native resolution. The internal fan seemed to do a good job of quietly expelling hot air during the benchmarks. As is common with netbooks, the section nearest to the vent on the left did get a little warm.
Despite Intel suggesting otherwise, Pine Trail was never really about improving performance. Lower power consumption is its main plus point, and we were therefore hoping for decent battery life. Sadly, we were disappointed, with the 532h drawing around 11W during our standard video playback test, the six-cell 4400mAh (48Wh) battery could only tick away for four hours and 11 minutes before the lights went out. Switch off Wi-Fi, dim the display and stick to word processing, and you'll likely get closer to Acer's claim of eight hours.
And don't forget, we had the unit with the six-cell battery - the cheaper, three-cell power unit will deliver half the numbers we recorded.
The Aspire One 532h is by no means a bad netbook, but there's nothing particularly jaw-dropping about it either. Battery life is unspectacular, while performance can't quite keep pace with last year's netbooks. The awkwardly-designed touchpad also holds it back. At just under £300, it's reasonably priced, but with our almost flawless Ubuntu experience it's a shame you can't buy it without having to slip a few bob to Microsoft. ®

Cook du Jour Robert Seaton: Tips from grandma are worth heeding
Name: Robert Seaton
City: Ventura
Specialty: Baked goods
Secret: Watch the temperature
Invaluable lessons: It's been many years since her passing, but Robert Seaton always pauses for a moment before baking to reflect on his grandmother's sage advice. One maxim in particular remains his favorite: "Grandmother Louise always told me to 'watch your temperature!' " He still sometimes refers to the cookbook he inherited from his grandmother, with its loving words of inspiration, and his grandmother's parables, often melding culinary rules with life lessons, which left an indelible mark. Don't always trust what the oven dial says, she would admonish, "because it could be wrong," She also favored using "real ingredients" over "the processed stuff." Ever the pragmatist, Grandmother Louise also insisted that all of her male grandchildren learn two valuable skills — cooking and sewing — because you might not meet someone out there to be your other half.
Bake and go: A Ventura County Fairground volunteer for the past 37 years, Seaton never considered competing in its culinary competitions until a couple of years ago. Since then he has received a dozen or so ribbons for his baked goods. This year he entered four different cheesecakes — toffee bits, truffle brownie, ambrosia — and a three-layer cheesecake featuring white chocolate, Hershey's Special Chocolate and peanut butter chips, with a brownie crust. He won four second-place awards for his efforts. His braided raisin bread received an accolade, so did an apple bread — "a cross between a bread and a pastry." Seaton was pleasantly surprised that the breads received any recognition. "It's the first time that I made bread so I never expected anything," he noted. "I didn't have time to try before I entered. It was just bake it and go."
Tweaking and learning: Seaton did find an incredible "other half" in his wife, Heather, but still enjoys preparing the majority of their meals. Preparing Heather's favorite desserts, Bundt cakes, gave him the impetus to enter this year's fair competition. He produced an award-winning Bundt cake that featured white and dark chocolate in a forest-style mold, dusted with powdered sugar to resemble snow. "Baking is a challenge," Seaton observes, "because you never know how it's going to turn out. It could be really delicious or something you wouldn't want to serve to your worst enemy. It's going back and re-tweaking until you like it."

3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups Heath Bits'O Brickle English Toffee Bits
1¼ cups vanilla wafers, crumbled
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup melted butter
1 Mix wafers, sugar, cocoa and butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan extending ½ inch up on the side of pan. Cook at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Set aside.
2 Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, and make sure all is well beaten into the batter. Add vanilla and mix. Add bits into the batter, lightly mix so it is incorporated and place in the pan. Bake between 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees. (Make sure to check after 35 to 40 minutes. If it's begun to brown on top, remove from the oven.)
3 Remove to a wire rack. With a knife, lightly cut between the cheesecake and side of pan. Let it cool completely, then remove it from pan. Secret from grandmother: Spring-form pans are difficult to work with, so line the pan with parchment paper first, and then use parchment paper around the edge of the pan, so one doesn't have to use the knife at the end.
4 Refrigerate for 12 - 24 hours before serving, which firms it up. Add brickle on top or a dab of whipped cream topped with brickle.

Branislav Ivanovic has praised his rival Cesar Azpilicueta and insists he has no problem with the Spaniard's arrival at Stamford Bridge.
Azpilicueta looks set to be handed his Chelsea debut in tonight's Capital One Cup third round clash against Wolves.
Big things are expected of the former Marseille man, who has represented the Spain at six different youth levels, but he has had to wait patiently for his first appearance for the Blues since moving from France last month.
Ivanovic has settled in to the right-back position after starting his Blues career as a centre-back and he has no plans to give up his place in the team easily.
The Serb insists he is not concerned that Azpilicueta has been bought to replace him, though, claiming that the signing of the 23-year-old could be beneficial to the squad as a whole.
"It's great to have competition between the players, it's very positive," Ivanovic said.
"Cesar is good, he is working very hard and he is waiting for the chance and he will show his qualities and how good he is.
"One player cannot play in one position all season long."
Azpilicueta is likely to be one of up to four Chelsea players making their full debuts against the npower Championship side tonight.
Marko Marin, Lucas Piazon and Victor Moses could all start their first game for the Londoners, with Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo keen to rest a number of senior players ahead of this weekend's league game against Arsenal.
"I'm sure there'll be one or two that haven't had much time on the pitch who'll be playing on Tuesday," said Di Matteo, whose team have only dropped two points so far this term.
"We'll mix it up. There are a few players who have played one or two games before that deserve a chance and there will be some senior players too."
Of the quartet who could be set to make their bow, Moses is the one whose arrival at the west London club has sparked the most excitement.
Many were surprised that Di Matteo pursued the former Crystal Palace player after signing Oscar and Eden Hazard this summer, but the Nigeria international is someone that has been on the Blues boss' radar for quite some time.
"He's young and he'll still improve and develop but he's an exciting player that I tried very hard to sign, not just this year but previously as well, years ago," said the Italian, who had spells at West Brom and MK Dons before moving to Stamford Bridge, originally as assistant manager to Andre Villas-Boas.
"He's a player I like very much and he will have a big influence in our season.
"He's strong at holding the ball, his dribbling ability is very good, he can go past defenders, which not many can, and he's got the pace as well.
"He's very good at making runs in behind, he's a very good player.
"It's good that nobody else noticed."

U Haul Tires Blew out on not one but 2 trips in a row! Spokane Washington
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The end of May my husband rented a U Haul to move out of a house we sold in WA state. He was driving on I-5 when not one but 2 tires blew on the right side of the truck. Luckily the truck did not roll and he was not injured. However it creates many issues trying to get it repaired, and set him back a day in travel. Now we complain, and they give us a day rental free and a coupon towards the next rental - assuring me that this was a rare incident and they care so much and service is their priority - yeah right. Two weeks later my husband is doing the same trip to get the balance of the the belongings left at the house. He is driving in what was supposed to be a a truck that they fully inspected and the maintenance has been kept up and should not encounter any problems, 2 more tires blow while he is driving down the freeway!!! And a third was on its way. What are the odds?? Now they are arguing about a refund, like how on earth could this happen and you not stand behind the product and treat the customer fairly and with respect?? Instead they are doing an investigation - Really it is not my problem what issues you have with your equipment, it is your responsibility - you are in the business of renting trucks, dont they have to go through service checks, isn't that part of why you use them? Because you can rest assured they perform maintenance checks?? Is it my responsibility? Maybe I should have had to pay for the 3 tires they replaced to! Buyer beware! They do not honor their contracts and they do not care about your safety. [continued below]....

We're embarking upon a big week this week--the first full week of school for the kids. Already we've had two positive e-mails from L.'s school--just teachers checking in to thank us for the letter we wrote on L.'s behalf, and letting us know how to reach them. We're so pleased that they have reached out to us, and very happy with the level of communication from the school so far. These are all positive things that are helping fuel the beginning of the school year. I try not to attack L. with too many questions when I pick him up after school, but he's been talkative, and more or less willing to share his thoughts about the day.
Here is a list of 6 things L. likes (and, by extension, I like) about middle school so far:
1. Changing classes every 45 minutes. I always suspected he needed physical and mental variety to his day. Contrary to my initial worries, changing classes throughout the day like this has actually helped his focus problems. From a sensory perspective, too, moving around within a different schedule keeps him from being negatively overstimulated in any one classroom environment. He also told me that changing classes and moving around the school makes him feel "kind of like a grownup."
2. Variety in the peer group. It's not always a good thing to be stuck with the same people all day, day in and day out. We might love our peers, our classmates, our colleagues, but we need a little variety now and again and when you're stuck with a group who is not working well for you, you need the varety even more. I think having a larger peer group should help L. find a niche, hopefully, with some like-minded kids.
3. The locker and lock. Again, I was worried about both of these, but he is a whiz at opening the lock and he likes having his own, "private" locker where he can contain his things and feel good about them being off-limits from others and protected. At elementary school other kids used to pull his backpack out of his cubby all the time, or throw their own pack on top of his, or touch his things without permission--all things that really drove L. crazy.
4. His electives. I knew this would be big for L., and we picked his school over others because he's allowed three electives, instead of two. He's taking German and a very cool technology systems class that will include tons of hands-on learning and experiments in a real, live lab. We had to sign a lab release form and pay a small lab fee and everything--all things that made L. pretty proud and excited about this new class. Next quarter he's taking a global conflicts elective and he's very much looking forward to that.
5. Quieter, cleaner cafeteria. All elementary school cafeterias are pretty noisy, and can be pretty smelly, too, but L.'s elementary school cafeteria took noise and smells to another level. This cafeteria at his new school is much quieter and better organized. Maybe middle school kids aren't as loud? Maybe they eat more neatly? Is it possible?
6. No recess. Thank goodness. Recess was always a big trouble time for L. He had trouble navigating the social landscape of the school playground, kids played too rough, kids got too physical, and recess was a huge stressor for him. I am so thrilled that it's out of the equation, strange though that may sound.
Academics and homework will be in full swing this week, so we'll see hope L. adjusts to that. My fingers are still crossed that will continue to ride on the positive glow from the first two days of school.

Beautiful revolver you have there,prgallo!
It looks new, but those have not been for commercial sale for quite a few years now.
I shot commercial loads only through mine. It was a stainless 6 inch model as well, but was sold for a shorter Taurus 66. My loss.
Mine liked the 158gr. rounds at +P velocity and magnum velocity for that time. Things changed a bit since then as far as ammo goes.
For some reason all my Tauri .357 magnums also like 140gr. fodder.
I told a lie. Taurus over in Brazil has those still for sale and has for years commercially for use in Brazil. Just not here.
Looks like you have a good one!

My wife 1.0 has been operating for thirty five years now and I am accustomed to its use and controls. I do not wish to revert nor updare the program.
This is a discussion on Wife 1.0 within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I don't know if anyone has seen this before, I swiped it from another forum I'm a member on. I hope our female members have ...
I don't know if anyone has seen this before, I swiped it from another forum I'm a member on.
I hope our female members have thier sense of humor with them.
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed
that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a
lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now
monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night
10.3, Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Golfing 3.6.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run
my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend
7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!
Troubled User.....
Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is
just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING
SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also
impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is
impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not
allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child
Support . I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the
situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to
alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE! because
ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system
will return to normal anyway
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance .
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep
3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2 .
However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will
cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 . Once this happens,
the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase
additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !
WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short
Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause
irreversible damage to the operating system!
Best of luck,
Tech Support
My wife 1.0 has been operating for thirty five years now and I am accustomed to its use and controls. I do not wish to revert nor updare the program.
When you accept mediocrity you sow the seeds for future failure.
One should never confuse good fortune with good training.
Illegitimus Non Carborundum. In God we trust.
I make regular updates to my wife 1.0. I usually install the lastest version of the Jewlery Patch. I believe the current version is Bling 8.0.
This frequent update seems to keep Wife 1.0 running smoothly and enables me to upgrade my New Firearm Patch more frequently.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!
-- Theodore Roosevelt --
I asked my wife if I thought this was funny and she said yes I could laugh. So. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
fortiter in re, suaviter in modo (resolutely in action, gently in manner).
I had to forward that one on, only to the guys though, I don't want to be the cause of any ones Wife 1.0 program to crash.
"fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen." [Warren v. District of Columbia,(D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981)]
If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand
Beware of running procedure 'Parallel Parking' with Wife 1.0, it takes forever to complete and has been known to freeze or even crash.
I had problems with Wife 1.0. I did successfully uninstall Wife 1.0 but it took some time and I had to use Lawyer 200.0 (per hour). I am now very happily running Wife 2.0 and soon will download Kid 1.0.
Congratulation mtbiker! Of course you are aware you cannot unisntall Kid 1.0 for 18 years after downloading, right?
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

My Idea of a fair fight is beating baby seals with a club
WARNING Trying to remove of any version of wife while running kid 1.0 and up will slow the entertainment applications greatly. The wife OS especialy in conjunction with the kid application is not backward compatable and will not accept any version of the girlfriend application on its system, System failure can result and a total rebuild is required.

Jul 18, 2012 - By Steve Peck, PublisherLynette Jeffres is the newest member of the Riverton school board. The longtime Riverton resident was appointed Tuesday night to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of former trustee Bill Russell, who left his seat earlier this month. He is moving to Casper.
The remaining board members voted unanimously to appoint Jeffres following interviews with Jeffres and four other applicants. Trustees also met with Randy Tucker, Greg Ashdown, Ted Ray and Scott Morrow. Each had submitted a formal letter of application for the post before a 30-minute interview by the board and superintendent Terry Snyder during the past 10 days.
Before Tuesday's scheduled budget work session, the board created a one-item agenda for board action, convened in formal session, and took the vote to appoint Jeffres. She was sworn in by board chairman Carl Manning, and the board adjourned to its informal work session with Jeffres participating.
Jeffres was appointed to fill out Russell's remaining term, which expires at the end of the year. She is eligible to run for the office in this fall's general election.
"We were very pleased to have such a good field of candidates step up," Manning said. "We are excited to work with Lynette Jeffres and hope she will run for the full term this fall."
Jeffres works for the Central Wyoming College Foundation. She is a former assistant to the Riverton High School activities director and still volunteers to assist with RHS functions.
Her first formal meeting is Wednesday, the school board's annual budget meeting.

The "Aluminum Overcast," the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EEA) restored B-17 bomber, returns to Boeing Field to offer rides Saturday, May 25 through Monday, Memorial Day. People can book flights at the Museum of Flight.
Pictured left is WWII B-17 pilot, Ken Wheeler, 90, of Gig Harbor, with current B-17 pilot, Rick Fernalld, at Paine Field, Everett, before the plane flew down to Seattle for the long weekend. Wheeler, who flew with the 15th Air Force out of Italy, is a docent at the Museum of Flight. If you see him, he might tell you about the time three of his four engines failed and he and his crew bailed with parachutes over Croatia. He landed in a tree, cut himself down, and escaped.

Once-yearly administration of two anti-parasitic drugs to control lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) costs just $0.06 to $2.23 per person treated, making it comparatively inexpensive, according to a major new international study of treatment costs.
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.307 billion people worldwide in 83 countries are at risk of lymphatic filariasis (LF), a disfiguring parasitic disease caused by thread-like nematode worms. The disability caused by LF keeps affected patients and communities mired in poverty. The disease is potentially eradicable through once-yearly mass drug administration (MDA) of two drugs (albendazole with diethylcarbamazine or albendazole with ivermectin).
Ann Goldman (The George Washington University, School of Public Health and Health Services, USA) and an international team of colleagues studied the costs of MDA for LF control in seven countries (Ghana, The Philippines, Tanzania, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Dominican Republic, and Haiti). The variation in the costs was largely explained by the age (newness) of the MDA program, the use of volunteers, and the size of the population treated.
"The study demonstrates that the costs of MDA programs for LF elimination are comparable to those estimated for other similar disease control and elimination programs," the authors say.
"Such findings can be used on a national scale for program planning, development and fundraising, and on a global scale for calculating current global costs, predicting scale-up costs and calculating savings from integration with other programs."

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Vijay Iyer
During this same time period, Iyer was also composing for orchestra ("Interventions," 2007 with the American Composers Orchestra) and string quartet ("Mutations I-X," 2005 for the string quartet Ethel) as well as for theater (Betrothed, 2007) and film (Teza, 2008). He also performed regularly on piano and synth with Greg Tate's Burnt Sugar. Iyer's 2009 release, Historicity, was chosen as the number one Jazz Album of the Year by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Detroit Metro Times, National Public Radio, the Village Voice Jazz Critics Poll, and the Down Beat International Critics Poll, and was nominated for a 2010 Grammy for Best Instrumental Jazz Album (Iyer's first nomination and the first for an Indian-American in that category). The Vijay Iyer Trio (with Marcus Gilmore now in the drummer chair) won the 2010 Echo Award (Germany's Grammy equivalent) for Best International Ensemble, and the 2010 Down Beat Critics Poll for Best Small Ensemble. In 2010 he also released his first solo album (Solo) and was named the 2010 Musician of the Year at the Jazz Journalists Association Jazz Awards.
Iyer kicked off 2011 with a new band called Tirtha, a trio with electric guitarist Prasanna and virtuoso tabla player Nitin Mitta. The group released a self-titled album on ACT early in the year and toured globally in support of it; the album appeared on many jazz critics' year-end lists. Iyer's piano trio with Gilmore and Crump returned to recording later in the year; they released Accelerando in March of 2012. In 2013, he collaborated with poet/spoken word artist Mike Ladd on Holding It Down: The Veterans' Dreams Project, and won a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant. Mutations, his debut for ECM, was released in March of 2014. Iyer had also been working with filmmaker Prashant Bhargava, composing and performing a score for a multimedia project focused on the eight-day Holi festival in Northern India. ECM released Radhe Radhe: Rites of Holi as a DVD in the fall. They reentered the studio in June and put a new album in the can. Break Stuff, the result of those sessions, was released in February of 2015. Iyer was named 2015-2016 Artist in Residence at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art and released A Cosmic Rhythm with Each Stroke, his third album for ECM, in a duo with Wadada Leo Smith in March of 2016. ~ Jason Ankeny & Sean Westergaard
