The New Transportation Agency
OTTAWA, July 2, 1996 -- Today marks the first day of operation of the new Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA). It replaces the National Transportation Agency as a result of the proclamation of the Canada Transportation Act on July 1, 1996.
The CTA, like its predecessor, is a quasi-judicial tribunal which is headed by Mrs. Marian Robson who has just recently been appointed as its Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. Other members of the CTA are Jean Patenaude, as vice-chair, Richard Cashin and Keith Penner.
The mandate of the CTA continues to be that of the economic regulator and decision-maker with respect to transportation services under federal jurisdiction. Its responsibilities include the issuance of licences to air carriers and railways, a dispute resolution power over various Air, Rail and Marine transportation rate and service matters and the determination of the annual maximum rate scale for western grain movements. The CTA continues to have powers to remove undue obstacles to the mobility of travellers with disabilities in the federally-regulated transportation network.
The CTA also has effective enforcement powers including the ability to levy fines for non compliance and cost recovery powers allowing it to charge for services such as the issuance of licences and permits. In carrying out its duties, the CTA may inquire into air licensing matters and conduct inquiries necessary to determine complaints before it on others matters.
The new legislation reforms and modernizes regulation formerly established by the National Transportation Act, 1987 and the Railway Act. Some of the key components are:
- a more commercially oriented process for railway companies to sell or lease surplus rail lines to new operators, rather than discontinue service;
- continued protections for shippers using railways that would ensure adequate levels of service at competitive prices;
- further deregulation of the domestic air sector by removing the residual regulation in the north;
- the exclusion of regulation from the following sectors: motor vehicle transport, northern marine resupply services, commodity pipelines, and mergers and acquisitions.
It also provides some new consumer protection by:
- requiring that Canadian carriers proposing to enter the domestic and international air passengers markets with large or medium aircraft meet minimum financial requirements,
- prohibiting airlines from advertising or selling tickets prior to obtaining a licence.
The new legislation requires that decisions on all matters be rendered in a timely manner and no later than 120 days after receipt of an application.
The head office of the Canadian Transportation Agency remains in the National Capital Region.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by BlueStar22, Apr 30, 2006.
I know he had an average year but this guy is still available. May be worth a pick today.
Wouldn't mind taking him in the 6th
I always thought he lacked toughness. He may fall to us in the 6th round.
where would we play him? He doesn't seem the NT type, and we certainly don't need another de.
well he is listed at 300 lbs.
Thats crazy...I have one of those draft magazines that projected him as a 2nd rounder.
I think Washington might take him at 153

Exciting news!!!
... sauces if you'd like. They have 15 sauces ranging from no spice (my kinda sauce), to WALL (made with habanero chilli). Darren decided to try 2 with the WALL sauce and boy did he know about it!!!
He held it together pretty well but his eyes were tearing up and you could almost see beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He says they were nice and he'd have them again but they made his lips feel like they were on fire.

Kevin Bacon looks as if his face already possesses a vanishing point. So it's good casting for him to be the guinea-pig in a top-secret Washington DC experimental lab where we're happy to see the lady scientists (Elisabeth Shue, Mary Jo Randle) modestly avert their eyes from his still-visible genitals when he presents himself naked for the transition. That's the only modest reflex, though, in Paul Verhoeven's SF thriller loosely derived from HG Wells's cautionary tale about science arrogantly going one better than God.
Once invisible, all power not only goes to Bacon's head, but to his lower regions, too. Not surprising, since he approaches the experiment by telling a gag about Superman intent on a lightning copulation with a sunbathing bimbo, but accidentally sodomising the Invisible Man who happened to be impregnating her at the time. That's as near a scientific frame of mind as the movie manages.
Furnished lavishly with some of the most extra ordinary special effects I've ever seen, it becomes a much more dubious kind of entertainment: in short, a rapist's fantasy. Bacon's invisibility loosens all moral restraints: "You'd be surprised how you don't feel guilty when you can't see yourself in the mirror," he reports. Which is fine, except the course his moral degeneration takes is on a par with that of a smutty schoolboy fumbling with the buttons of his first date when the girl can't see him and, thus empowered, going beyond the limit and raping her. It's uncomfortable, even contemptible, to watch.
Escaping from the lab, Bacon plays Peeping Tom on a nubile neighbour, sneaks invisibly into her apartment when she's fresh out of the shower and ... at which point, either lack of nerve or threat of censorship appears to have caused Verhoeven to cut the scene short: what happens off-screen is left to filmgoers' lascivious imagination. But presumably the invisible intruder did not simply cough, murmur his apologies and exit.
Even unseen, it leaves a bad taste. And subsequent little peek-a-boo shots of sleeping women having their garments pruriently undone by invisible hands do nothing to sweeten it. A pity: for the SFX are sensational and create a canyon-size gap between their sophistication and the juvenile grubbiness of the invisible man's sex urges.
A gorilla already rendered invisible in the lab is restored to view in a sequence that begins as a tracery of veins, sinews and arteries followed by the appearance of muscles and bones and finally the hairy husk of a full-grown and angry primate. Even more eye-popping is Bacon's own graduated "disappearance" through the stages of a living anatomy lesson that recall the medical drawings in Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks.
The trick effects don't stop at making objects float through the air. When a maddened Bacon embarks on a murderous vendetta against his colleagues, who can't return him to the fully pristine flesh-and-blood state, the film employs all manner of fluids and gases to render his naked figure partly or fleetingly visible. Steam coats him in a slather of outlined menace; rain turns him into a crystalline corpus; fire blackens his skin with piebald patches; blood hangs a crimson curtain on his frontal regions while leaving his rear view transparent; and heat-detecting goggles reveal a multi-coloured humanoid invisible to the naked eye.
Jost Vacano's photography and Scott Anderson's special effects create an entity that brings horror cinema nearer to fantastical art than any other SF film I've seen. If you can stomach the junk plot's formulaic triviality, the trashy sex and the abattoir of violence in which it ends, you will find a film whose bleed-ing-edge technology is up there with such landmarks of art and science as 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That's the line that should reset the internal counter inside your
OpenGL implementation that determines how many results should be returned:
An internal index into buffer is reset to 0 whenever selection mode
is entered. Each time a hit record is copied into buffer, the index
is incremented to point to the cell just past the end of the block
of names - that is, to the next available cell. If the hit record is
larger than the number of remaining locations in buffer, as much
data as can fit is copied, and the overflow flag is set. If the name
stack is empty when a hit record is copied, that record consists of
0 followed by the minimum and maximum depth values.
We do a little bit of custom code, but AFAICS we should not be able to
influence the number of hits returned by the selection buffer (see
OpenGL/GL/selection.py and OpenGL/GL/pointers.py for the actual code).
That is, when you enter the mode the count should be reset. When you
exit the mode it returns the internal count.
The buffer remaining the same should *not* be a problem, incidentally,
even if it were. We copy the reported number of records out of the
buffer, and GL should be writing new records for every record it reports
as having been copied in, so though there might be "garbage" at the end
of the array, it should *not* affect your results or the number of them
reported.> Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?It might be easiest to debug if you printed out the names of each
element you are seeing in the buffer. Stop after the first few frames
and check to see *how* those names are getting added. If you can
disable the display-list usage (i.e. call the rendering code each time)
you should be able to trace through and see each call to glPushName and
glPopName. If you are not balancing those two you may be getting a
run-away stack of names that are left on the stacks between runs. You
could use an assert that GL_NAME_STACK_DEPTH is 0 to be sure you've done
it, if you don't want to disable display lists.
Good luck,

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived in Oxfordshire. The name is thought to be descriptive of someone who lived near a bank, or an area of raised ground, and is derived from the Old English word, benche, of the same meaning, although this derivation and meaning are by no means certain.
Benchere Early Origins
Oxfordshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Benchere Spelling Variations
Benchere Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Benchere family name include Bencher, Banker, Benchere, Buncher, Benchaire and many more.

The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Benchere surname or a spelling variation of the name include: William Banker who arrived in New York in 1822.

Back to Square One, Book two... The Story So FarMature
World peace is now a reality among humanity. After a long and tiring civil war between two governments, Democracy has prevailed, and it has sent the world in to a peaceful and prosperous era. A squad of four super soldiers, dubbed Vapor Team, await four new soldiers they are ordered to train to be super soldiers. However, with the world at peace, what kind of serious conflict will they ever see? (Rough Draft)
Book Two
Gray Horizons
The Story So Far
The year is 2132. World peace is no longer just a dream. After millennia of conflict among the human race, the world is finally coming together. Almost all aspects of life have been unified, such as currency, and language. However, the only aspect that isn't unified, is government. Before the world can progress in to its new stage, a unified government must be present. All forms of government have been abolished besides Democracy, and Communism.
The populace of the world waited for a peaceful decision for which form of government would run the new world. However, no decision came quickly. Debates between political leaders were held weekly. As a decision was trying to be made, the populace grew weary of the unproductive debates and worthless opinion polls. They began to lose faith, and fell victim to the human nature of conflict.
First, society began to take sides. Those who supported Democracy began to hate those who supported Communism, and vice versa. Just like racism during civil rights era in the United States, both sides began to violently defend themselves. Riots formed in the streets. Murders occurred in the name of their government daily. The economy began to fail without the regulation of a government. This only fueled the anger between the two sides. A year passed and political sessions became violent themselves, often times with political leaders engaging in physical fights with each other.
It became clear that there would be no peaceful decision for the world's government, and a petition for war was written. The petition was supported by both sides of the governmental spectrum to a ratio of one hundred to one. Most citizens agreed it was the best course of action, as it kept most of the violence out of society and on the battlefield instead. The economy was stabilized once more to support the war effort as well. The war officially started on April 5th, 2133. Democracy named their army the Freedom Knights. Communism named their army the Red Legion.
Both sides were worthy opponents of each other, and no clear victory was foreseen for either side. No ground was gained or lost, until a top secret operation was performed on four handpicked soldiers from the Freedom Knight Army. These four soldiers were chosen to be super soldiers. The operation they went through was called Integrative Boosted Stimulation Training. By the end of the medical procedures and military training set forth in IBST, the four soldiers could run farther and faster than the average human. They could survive falls and concussive forces that would break others bones and appendages. Their reflexes were supreme, and their creativity was unmatched. They were among the strongest men in the world. Their specialized military training, matched with their superior biological enhancements, made them the most lethal team in the world. They chose the name Vapor Team, and each of them chose a unique call sign to be used inside the military for their own safety.
John Baynard Lawton was the reconnaissance master and sniper of the group. He chose the call sign Mist. His tactical prowess was phenomenal, and his hit percentage with his sniper was one hundred percent.
Dale Avery Lawton was the perfect hybrid of stealth and power. He chose the call sign Shadow. His aim with heavy machine turrets was incredible, despite the recoil they had. He was the strongest of the group, and the most ruthless. As much as he can be loud and rambunctious during an operation, he was also skilled at staying silent and out of sight.
Arden Julius Garcia was the pilot and close quarters expert of the group. He chose the call sign Fog. His capabilities were endless in smaller spaces and close range. He was also the best pilot throughout the entire Freedom Knight Army.
Connor Michigan Sam was a medic pulled from the a different group of specially trained soldiers called the Designated Marksmen. He chose the call sign Smoke. His weapon of choice is the Prototype Marksmen Rifle System that was issued to him for being a member of the Designate Marksmen. His aim was exceptional, and almost as impressive as John's. He was also a massively impressive vehicle driver, and his medical expertise was invaluable.
These four soldiers turned the tide of the war in Democracy's favor. Working as a virtually unbeatable squad, they quickly reduced the Red Legion's territories down to just their primary homesteads of Russia, China, and Vietnam. They soon found themselves nearing victory, as Vietnam was captured, and China was weakening.
In a desperate attempt to slow the Freedom Knight's progress, the Red Legion sent special mechanically enhanced super soldiers, under the name of the Elite Blade, to eliminate war sustaining power plants, ammunition caches, and airstrips. The Elite Blade was forged in the subterranean levels of an unsuspecting hospital in the middle of Moscow, named Krietchner Hospital. The last war sustaining asset they were able to attack was a hydro-electric power plant, where they were caught in the act, and thwarted by Vapor Team.
Vapor Team then covertly infiltrated Moscow and discovered Krietchner Hospital to be not only a sinister repurposed building to create the Elite Blade and prototype android assassins, but the Red Legion headquarters as well. As the Freedom Knight's liberated China, war plans were made to commence a final assault on Moscow.
General Clay of the Freedom Knight army devised a way to attack Moscow. Vapor Team sabotaged the city's defenses while the main ground force attacked the city from the west. Vapor Team infiltrated the hospital and eradicated the android assassins, the Elite Blade, and Communist dictator Leonid Aptekar. With their most valuable assets crushed, and their leader killed, the Red Legion was quickly rounded up and either killed, or captured.
Luckily, peace indeed followed the years afterward, and the Freedom Knight Army was renamed to be the Freedom Knight Police Department. Reconstruction was swift and the economy was stable yet again. For the first time in human history, the world was united and at peace. A large space station was commissioned to mark the success of humanity's new world. It was named the Roman I, and was shaped like a ring. It was also a symbol of peace and progression toward the new frontier of space. The wealthy were able to live on it if they so pleased.
After noting Vapor Team's success in the Great Civil War, General Clay and other political leaders agreed it would be wise to increase the number of super soldiers like Vapor Team. They handpicked four more soldiers for IBST, doubling the amount of super soldiers. Vapor Team received direct orders from General Clay himself, to train the four soldiers to be just as lethal and efficient as they were. The training was to take place in secret on the Roman I space station.
There were two men, and two women, picked to be the next four super soldiers. The women were twins, named Margaret Erika Stownin, and Victoria Mary Stownin. Brian Pewdimont Chaston, and Viktor Gregory Andrews were the men. Vapor Team landed at the beautifully scenic training facility on the Roman I and met with Command Sergeant Major Katsuo Nakahara.
The date is now June 25th, 2140. Vapor Team eagerly waits for the rookies to arrive at the training facility so that they may begin their training...

Welcome! Did you ever want to take a vacation in sunny Orlando, Florida, but still have all the amenities of home? Or spend a day at Disney, then come home to your very own home with private pool just a few minutes away, at less than the cost of most hotels? Well, look no further...
First Impressions: Our fully air conditioned up-scale 3 bedroom home offers all the benefits of your own home and much, much, more. Three bedrooms including 2 master suites, 2 full baths, a large living and dining area, fully fitted kitchen with yet another dining area, large deck with screened pool and two car garage are just a few of the amenities. Loads of luxury, including a solid cherry and wrought iron king size sleigh bed in the Master Suite, walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings with dramatic lighting, artwork, plants and designer decorations complete a real Florida feel, whilst deep plush carpeting and imported ceramic tile in living areas add to the feeling of luxury. We also provide free Wi-Fi for those of you who bring along their laptop! So sit back and relax next to the pool while you sip your morning coffee and watch the beautiful hot air balloons land just a short distance from this upscale home. You will truly be delighted with all we have to offer!
Past Guest Comments:
1) Good morning Donna! Returned from our lovely vacation yesterday evening. Everything went as planned with no snags, except our flight home was slightly delayed because of bad weather in Atlanta. We were very impressed with your home. It was clean, neat, convenient and comfortable. It was a very nice gesture for you to leave the bottle of wine on the dining room table. We enjoyed it! Well, again, thank you. We really enjoyed our trip and your home added immensely to a fun and relaxing holiday. We will certainly call you again when we next come to Florida. Kathy p.s. my husband especially enjoyed getting up early, making coffee and taking it and his book out to sit by the pool. The pine forest is a pleasing sight. Much better than having other houses right in your backyard. There were also several hot air balloons that landed daily at the end of the dirt road. Very interesting to watch.
2) Hi Donna, i wanted to make it a point to write to you. We had a great time and the kids loved the mickey-minnie room. I have to mention that the home had a very personable feel and it was decorated beautifully with all the little detail. We all enjoyed ourselves a lot and I shall definitely recommend your name and villa to my friends if they are planning to visit. The house had a very welcome feel to it and it was well equipped. Also, you gave wonderful directions and we did not get lost at any point so thanks to your efforts. You have a wonderful summer too.
3) Donna: We had a great time, this was our 5th time in the Orlando area and your Villa was the best. Thanks for all your help. Since we travel today all the garbage was left on the garage, all in separated bags. Thanks again. -David
The on-site Resort clubhouse offers all guests free use of a number of recreational activities. These include, a resort-style swimming pool, swing sets, slides and child play area. This is in addition to your private enclosed pool back at your villa. (Note: Clubhouse may be closed for refurbishment at certain times of the year).
SLEEPING (3-bedrooms/2-baths; Sleeps 6):
The Master suite has a cherry and wrought iron king size bed, walk-in wardrobe closet, large dressing table and mirror, as well as a wardrobe cabinet and TV. The en-suite features an oversized garden tub and separate glass enclosed shower. The Queen suite features a queen bed, dresser and mirror & overlooks the pool. The Mickey & Minnie suite has twin beds.
The screen enclosed, solar heated pool is ideal for relaxing and cooling off (electric pool heating is available during winter months) after a long day at the parks. The oversized deck area is screened with outside lighting allowing evening entertainment. Just inside is a large living room with vaulted ceilings. A TV and DVD player complete the entertainment. So bring along those favorite DVD's!
All the appliances you need are here, including a stove, microwave, dishwasher and large fridge/freezer. All crockery, utensils and glasses are provided, including plastic dishware for use at the pool and younger children. DINING: Choose from the formal dining area with seating for six or the kitchen table which offers seating for 4. Don't forget that you can even dine poolside.
Are more than welcome. Please ask for anything you need. There are portable cribs, high chairs, strollers, etc. available. Normally the charge by our property management company is $35/week for each item but we are running a special right now where we provide a portable crib, high chair and stroller at no charge!! Safety alarms are also on the doors leading to the pool for your child's safety.
Smoke detectors with visual (for hearing impaired) and audible alarms are fitting throughout the villa, including a fire extinguisher and emergency lighting. The home is also wheelchair acessible. CONVENIENCE: The garage has a washing machine and dryer, complete with iron and ironing board. All bed linens and towels are included. (Due to the possibility of oil leaks, no parking of your car inside the garage.)

Hello! As someone who has rented homes for my own vacations, I know just how impersonal it can be when dealing with a travel agent or property manager. I'm usually unable to get questions answered and responses (especially after I've made payment!) are delayed or never come at all. I believe that our guests deserve more. If you treat your guests as you would like to be treated they will enjoy themselves and come back again. That is why I personaly handle all my bookings and deal directly with everyone who comes to stay with us! Your email will be answered promptly and any issue that arises will be handled quickly. We have paid a property manager who lives less than 1/4 mile from this beautiful property to respond to all your needs - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For this reason our guests continue to come back and stay with us year after year! We hope you decide to also come stay with us. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Donna Robinson purchased this house in 2007
Most Disney vacation rentals are either condos (which lack a private pool and have neighbors on all sides) or private homes (which have neighbors behind them with full view of their pool). We wanted something better for our guests, including privacy and a place we'd want to come spend our own vacations at. As you may have found, many of these vacation homes are in areas where traffic is congested and getting anywhere is difficult. We researched where would be the best location to have a rental home geared specifically for families who wanted to be near all the fun activities, but also wanted to be able to come home each day to the seclusion of a quiet neighborhood with no back neighbors and the smell of pine forest to envelope their senses as they relax by their own private pool. We visited more than 50 Disney homes for sale before finding the perfect home. We take great pride in maintaining it to the highest standards and want your vacation to be perfect in every way.
Besides being quiet and peaceful while at the same time being close to all the attractions, we also wanted our guests to be able to access the internet while they lounge by the pool using our secured WiFi...or relax and do absolutely nothing! We're close to Disney, Universal, Legoland, and an easy drive to the beaches.
When renting your home out to strangers you often worry about the property being cared for properly while insuring the guest has a great time. And your guest is just as likely to worry about the home being everything it's advertised to be. With Steve and his family, I had no worries. They took great care of the home to insure they left it exactly as they found it. They paid on time and were a pleasure to deal with. This is exactly the type of guest every homeowner hopes for. Thank you Steve.
The home is well maintained, near Disney and loads of privacy so we could swim in our private pool without neighbors looking on. The home has everything you need, bedding, pots, pans, a washer and dryer, private pool, nice yard, Palm trees and even a pine forest behind it! Took less than 15 minutes to Disney and there's even a back entrance to avoid traffic. Payments were easy and cost of an entire 3 bedroom home with private pool was less than staying at a hotel! Absolutely wonderful experience. Made our vacation twice as fun and relaxing as the last time we stayed in Orlando at a Disney high-end property! Highly recommend.
Our Florida vacation was fantastic. Donna made the whole experience very easy and the rental was more than we could have hoped more. The place was beautiful and very close to the theme parks. I would absolutely rent again. Thank you Donna!
Rented the house for a week over Xmas break and had a great time. The rates were VERY AFFORDABLE and the home was cute, comfortable and homey. We enjoyed the pool on more then one occasion and the proximity to the theme parks, other local attractions, and grocery stores was very convenient. Donna was always available and friendly when I called her with questions, she was so helpful! We'll definitely stay here again.
My husband and I spent the entire summer in Donna's house in Davenport. Our children and grandchildren visited us at various intervals throughout the summer, which made having a home for them to come to especially nice. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. When the pool needed attention, Donna responded very quickly. She was most accomadating in every way. The house is approximately 45 minutes from the Disney parks during morning and evening rush hour. Having a vehicle is a must since there are no buses available in that area.
Thank you so much Donna for having us in your beautiful villa! It was just perfect for our family of 6. Plenty of room and all of the accommodations we needed for a successful, pleasurable stay. We will absolutely be back in the future and will be sending our friends and family your way!
We wanted a nice place to stay for a few days before we boarded our Disney Cruise. This Villa was everything that we expected. Donna was very helpful and patient with all of our questions. We were first time renters. She made this a smooth process. The Villa was easy to locate. Isis located in a wonderful neighborhood. We took walks over to the playground and the pool was awesome!
I would strongly recommend this Villa!
We're just 10-15 minutes away from Disneyworld and just 20 minutes from Universal & Seaworld. White sandy beaches are just an hour away in either direction (Golf or Atlantic); as well as NASA Space Center. World Class golf courses are less than 10 minutes and easy access to the airports (MCO Orlando or SFB Sanford/Orlando). Loads of things to do in all directions!!

Chris, years ago I contacted all the charities I gave to and told them I was
selecting one. The criteria for the chosen one included no crap. I want my
donation to go to the cause, not to thankyou "gifts". The one I chose had a
newsletter for which the printing and postage was paid for by a donor. 100%
went to the charity. I do also give to DAV, but they assured me that none
of my contribution goes to paying for the address labels they send me and
they put me on a list for once a year contact so less money would be wasted
contacting me.

I came across this at the Brookstone store the other day and I almost had an impulse buy. I liked the 2 hr battery that also acts as a portable battery for other devices but for the price I've seen a few other projectors that are cheaper with better projection quality like the AAXA P4-x.
Anyone have any advice about this?

Radical a-Ions in Electron Capture Dissociation: On the Origin of Species

Radical a* ions appear in electron capture dissociation mass spectra sporadically, but sometimes with high intensity. Mechanistically, radical a ions are hypothesized to arise due to thermodynamically disadvantaged charge solvation on the backbone nitrogen (instead of carbonyl), which upon neutralization produces a hypervalent group instantly fragmenting into a radical b* and conventional y' ion. The former species is unstable and, after releasing a CO molecule, decays to an a* ion. Here we validate this scenario by direct observation of the complementarity of a* and y' ions by interrogation of an ECD MS/MS database of >10,000 doubly and >5,000 triply charged tryptic peptides. Intriguingly, the most abundant a*/y' pairs are found to come from the cleavage of the same backbone link as the most abundant c' and z* complementary ions. This result gives strong support to the "local" N-Cα bond cleavage mechanism, in which the dissociation occurs at the site of charge solvation. However, a second strong peak is observed in the c'/z* fragment distribution four residues away from the a*/y' cleavage, which supports the indirect N-Cα bond cleavage mechanism. The size distribution of a ions from doubly (but not triply!) charged precursors shows deficit of a3 ions, and possibly a6 ions.
Key wordsPeptide fragmentation Bond cleavage mechanism
Unlike the N–Cα bond cleavage mechanism that is still under intensive debates, the scenario (1) of the \( a \cdot \) ion formation process via the sequential C–N/Cα–C bond cleavage has never been challenged in peer-reviewed literature, and is widely accepted. This, however, does not remove the need to validate (1) by direct observations. One such observation could be the complementarity of the \( a \cdot \) and y' fragments produced in a single bond cleavage event, like the c' and \( z \cdot \) fragments are produced in N–Cα bond cleavage. Because of the sporadic nature of radical a-ions in MS/MS spectra, a large MS/MS database is needed for obtaining reliable statistics [5, 6]. We created and interrogated such a database, testing the origin of a-ions in ECD. They indeed arise from the process (1), which gives complementary \( a \cdot \) and y' fragments. Intriguingly, the most abundant \( a \cdot \)/y' pairs are found to come from the cleavage of the same backbone link as the most abundant c' and \( z \cdot \) complementary ions. This result gives strong albeit indirect support to the "local" ECD mechanism, in which the N–Cα bond dissociation occurs at the site of charge solvation [1]. However, a second, almost equally strong peak is observed in the c'/\( z \cdot \) fragment distribution four residues away from the \( a \cdot \)/y' cleavage, which supports the indirect mechanism [7, 8, 9, 10]. Below, we describe these results and their meaning for the ECD mechanism.
The importance of this finding is in the first direct confirmation of a "local" ECD mechanism, albeit the one related to a different backbone bond than the N–Cα bond. The local mechanism postulates the electron capture directly onto the charged group, and a bond cleavage next to that group [1].
In contrast, the non-local mechanisms [7, 8, 9] assume electron capture on a non-charged atom near, but not immediately at, the charge location. One of the objections to a local mechanism is that direct electron-proton recombination releases too much energy to be accommodated by the system on the time scale of electronic transitions, which enhances the probability of the reversed reaction–electron release to the continuum [9]. However, if (1) is validated, then this objection is lifted.
It is possible to estimate the relative contributions of the local versus non-local mechanism in N–Cα bond cleavage. To this end, only MS/MS spectra were selected in which both c'/\( z \cdot \) and \( a \cdot \)/y' complementary pairs were present. The local model predicts that the most abundant c'/\( z \cdot \) and \( a \cdot \)/y' complementary pairs will come from the cleavage of the same backbone link.

A former altar boy who was cleared over the killing of a vicar was today being questioned by detectives on suspicion of murdering a friend of Prince Philip.
The Hon Peter Bick, 57, who took part in carriage driving races with the Duke of Edinburgh, was found dead at his home in Bexhill in East Sussex on Wednesday. The results of a post mortem examination were expected later today.
Christopher Hunnisett, 27, was arrested after handing himself in at Hastings police station on Tuesday night. His arrest comes months after he was acquitted at a retrial of murdering vicar Ronald Glazebrook, 81, in 2001 in East Sussex.
He was originally convicted of the crime and served eight years in prison, but was freed after the Court of Appeal overturned the conviction and ordered a retrial, which ended at Lewes crown court in September last year. The jury there heard Hunnisett admit that he had punched Mr Glazebrook, who was his landlord, after being sexually abused, but deny murdering him. He said that he had found the vicar dead in the bath the next day. The body was later found in parts scattered across woodland in East Sussex.
Police said a 27-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery of Mr Bick's body at his home in Dorset Road South.
Chief Inspector Heather Keating, of East Sussex police, said: "We are not looking for anyone else at this stage of the investigation. I would like to reassure residents that this is an isolated incident."
Mr Bick is understood to have comefrom Walthamstow and was educated at St Egbert's College, Chingford.
Neighbour Juley Ross said: "He was always laughing. He was so polite, a good man. His mail was addressed to the Honourable Peter Bick. He was really nice and very intelligent, very clean and very smart. He was just the loveliest of men. I can't understand why anyone has done this to him."Reuse content

When it comes to big shoes to fill they don?t get much bigger than the Volkswagen Golf GTI.
While there?s been the occasional hiccup in the long, generally illustrious career of the original hot hatchback, for the past decade it?s been recognised as the king of pocket rocket performance.
Little wonder, then, that the critical knives are sharpened whenever a new model is released.
And so it is with the GTI version of Volkswagen?s Golf 7, or the seventh generation of one of the world?s longest running small cars.
The formula is unchanged: slightly frenetic front-driven turbocharged engine, grippier tyres matched to stiffer suspension, some flecks of ?sporty? red inside and out. Oh, and tartan trim, a Golf GTI mainstay.
So has Volkswagen run out of ideas for its most iconic model?
Looking at it from a distance you?d have to say yes.
There?s nothing about the new GTI that surprises or steps outside a well trodden path.
But there?s plenty that delights, in incrementally better ways than the previous model.
The reality is Volkswagen knows it has all but nailed the formula with the GTI, so why mess with it? The previous Golf GTI is still a good thing - better than many competitors that are still on sale.
The buyers who flock to the GTI ? they range from boy racers to professional women and elderly men ? clearly like what they?re getting.
So there?s no need to go messing with success.
The downside is it means it?s pretty easy to guess what the next generation of the Golf GTI will be like.
I?m tipping it will be slightly quicker, more fuel efficient, more composed, fitted with some more electronic gizmos and with an evolution to the Golf look. And with tartan trim.
That?s not such a bad thing.
We?ll see if I?m right in about 2018.

I actually did a fair amount of the workout last night, though I took a hard pass on the 250 IMs. I tend to do more breast when swimming with Pitt with Bill on deck. I was very shocked when I dropped that first 32 high doing breast dolphin (and its was very wavy). That was about 3.5 seconds faster than my regular breaststroke. I've read that breaststroke kickers are born, not made. I'm not sure there is all that much I can do to improve my breaststroke kick ... I suppose the breaststroke fins might stretch your ankles side-to-side much like long fins can help with flexion for dolphin and flutter kick. Something to ponder. Off to Sewy later.

My son came down in the night saying he had been sick(poor guy). He only asks for Mum when he is really sick and last night was one of those. My wife went up to his room and after they left I could not sleep so watched a really good documentary on Pluto on YouTube(the wonders of our Apple TV). I thought I would go back to sleep but alas the documentary was good and my mind started turning; which is never good at 2am.
There was some confusion as to who was coaching this morning. Since Toms wife had there daughter in December Tom has been taking a day off from mornings each week and for a while another coach Jayce has been on deck. It had worked great until this morning. Luckily, our Wednesday is a race pace workout and I quickly made up a simple workout around the race pace set. I ended up doing the variation we did on the 100s last Saturday but applied to our 50s. Unfortunately this was not planned in advance and was based on how I felt rather than a plan for the workout.

i tried ramping up the 50s again today and was able to go :25s on all of these 50s. I was really whooped but really happy with this set; especially with the crumby sleep. On the 200s kick I held 2:05-2:07s.
I just oust signed up for 1 day of a 3 day USAS meet on 13th Feb. I will do 3 events. The 200 free, 50 free and 200 back. I would have liked to do a couple days but it's tough with being Dad and being one of the coaches. This is a heats and final meet but if I make finals I will scratch.
How many events can I swim?
We must have some very hearty swimmers in our USMS membership ranks. The rules say that a swimmer can swim a maximum of five individual events per day at a USMS sanctioned meet. But, we get a lot of questions asking if there are circumstances where swimmers can swim more than five events in one day. The short answer is "no", but read further for an explanation.
Can swimmers compete in "exhibition" events over the five event limit? Could a swimmer compete in several events and then choose which five to record for official purposes? One meet host asked if it was possible to offer an award for swimmers who were willing to swim every single event on the meet program. Is that possible? What about non-conforming events, such as 25-yard or 25-meter events. Do those count against the event limitation?
Wow. I am tired just thinking about it.
102.6 covers event limits at USMS sanctioned meets. The rules say that "A swimmer may compete in not more than five individual events per day
.and shall compete not more than once in each individual event entered. (Read further for an explanation on the "
There is no provision in the rules for "exhibition" or "unofficial" events. All events swum at a USMS sanctioned meet count towards this limitation. In the Glossary, we define "event" as a series of races in a given stroke and distance, or meet; including pool, long distance, or open water. "Individual event" refers to one of these races for a given stroke and distance. Because we do not restrict this definition any further, it means that any stroke and distance swum would be considered as an "individual event". We are also careful to define how events are conducted, how they are judged, and how to determine official times and placement for each event. It is simply not possible to swim an event that does not "count" under the rules.
Rules 102.5.1 and 102.5.2 cover that may be offered at USMS sanctioned meets. This section of the rules also refers to 202.1.1-F(3) for nonconforming events. Nonconforming events are defined as events that not listed in part one of the rule book. These could include 25-yard or 25-meter events or any other creative event that the meet host would like to offer. (I am personally lobbying for a 1650-yard breaststroke.) These events may be conducted as long as they are conducted in a safe manner. The term "nonconforming" means that we do not keep records and top 10 rankings. However, because 102.6 does not distinguish between conforming and nonconforming events, any nonconforming events must also count towards the event limit.
Note that the meet host (with approval of the sanctioning LMSC) could impose an event limit less than five events per day. The rules do not require the host to allow swimmers to swim a maximum of five events. The host could also place other event limitations for a meet, such as requiring swimmers to choose only one distance freestyle event. The maximum allowed by rule is five individual events per day.
The entry limitations are different at USMS National Championship meets. Limits for National Championships are addressed in 104.5.3. The limit is three individual events per day and five (or six at the discretion of the USMS Championship Committee) individuals for the entire meet.
The exception to this limitation is covered at the end of 102.6. If an event or events are postponed to a subsequent day of the meet due to circumstances beyond the control of meet officials (for example, due to a thunderstorm), then the postponed events could be swum without being included in the five event limitation on the re-scheduled day.
Now, about the "
" (yada, yada, yada)
USMS meets are normally conducted in a "timed finals" format. That means everyone gets once chance to swim the event. Official times are determined and then places are determined based on ranking all of the official times. While it is rare, the rules also allow meets to be conducted with preliminary heats and finals if the meet is held in a 25-yard pool. If this format is followed, then the entry limitation becomes a maximum of three events per day. This format may not be used at USMS National Championships (102.10.1-A).

I attended the Prescription Drug Task Force meeting this morning, then (finally) had the studded snow tires put on to my wife's car. So far we have only had 5.5 inches of snow for the season, but don't fret...in 2007 we had 3 inches at this point, then two big storms (Valentine's Day and one in March) and ended up with 46 inches for the year. My outdoor drylands still have a fighting chance! I was able to sneak in to the pool ten minutes early, then my son took splits for the annual January postal ...
Tonight I churned out 4393 yards, which was actually a bit more than I expected. My 500 splits were: 6:06, 6:34, 7:05, 7:00, 7:12, 6:57, 6:45, 6:42. I took on water around 17 minutes, 35 min, and some gatorade at 45. Probably took it out a tad to fast. Here is a quick yearly recap ...

This weekend I will be helping to time our team effort.
I had a good night of sleep but dreamt swimming and woke up clammy. I dreamt that instead of doing the 4SDKs per length with fins yesterday I was doing 4 lengths underwater per breath. I woke quite flustered.
this morning was our dryland and easy swim day.

i tried doing a new exercise with the power roller today which at first was pretty good but the. I tweaked one of my muscles between my ribs on the right hand side and had to go easy on the last round. I put my feet on a b ch with the ab roller in plank position and pulled up into a pike position. It was tough but I liked it! One of my teammates did another one that looked brutal. He stood up with the wheel in his hands. He bent forward at the waist went all the way out with the ab roller and then came back in and up. I was not about to try that one yet!

Happy to complete my weekend on. I was able to hit the elliptical yesterday for thirty minutes as the Pats were playing in the first half. I kinda figured the game would go down to the final drive in the last two minutes, like most of our cardiac games this season, and the came up short. I have a feeking the super bowl will be like the Broncos-Seahawks a few years back, where the Broncos just fade away. The Panthers are the team this year.

A study published in the September 14, 2015 edition of JAMA Internal Medicine examined the data from the PREDIMED study that examined diet and risk for cardiovascular disease. In this secondary analysis, the researchers looked to see what effect two different dietary interventions would have on the incidence of breast cancer. The two intervention groups were advised to eat a Mediterranean style diet: high in vegetables, fruits, fish, and olive oil. One group was given a liter of extra virgin olive oil per week to use and share with their families. Another group was given a daily supply of nuts: 15 g walnuts, 7.5 grams almonds, 7.5 grams hazelnuts. The control group was advised to follow a low fat diet. Compared with the control group, the Mediterranean diet with extra virgin olive oil had a 68% reduction in breast cancer incidence. There was also a reduction in the nuts group, but not statistically significant. Limitations of the study included a lack of universal screening for breast cancer prior to the study, the small number of women who did get breast cancer, and the fact that all the women were while, postmenopausal, and at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Previously the researchers did show that this diet did reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. There doesnt seem to be a down-side to eating a Mediterranean type diet rich in olive oilwhether to prevent heart disease or to prevent breast cancer.

The meet was a no go, unfortunately. I had been feeling queasy for a couple days and was sick with a stomach thing Friday night. So was poor Lil Fort who had also been feeling poorly. Why does it always happen in the middle of the night? So I was really in no shape to drive to Buffalo on Saturday. Besides, even with an SUV, I couldn't get up and out of our driveway until late on Saturday bc of the snow. So it was a waste of a few days of rest ...
On Sunday, I went to the gym and yoga. I tried going to Bethel Park to swim, but the pool was closed.

Vinyasa Flow, 75 minutes
I hadn't been to a yoga class in ages, but it seemed fairly easy. I didn't even have trouble on the standing twisting poses. So I guess I've been doing enough yoga/stretching on my own.
I'm going to head to Sewy today. I'm bummed about missing the meet. I would have liked to get some racing in before Albatross. There is a meet on Feb 13, but Mr. Fort is out of town that weekend so that's a no go for me.
I had a great night of sleep and felt good this morning. I was expecting one of Tom's combination workouts made up of something fast, some kick and a recovery 4 or 6 times through but instead today was a long aerobic workout.

This was a long workout and it felt it. I really did not like the 600 with fins. With 4 dolphins with fins I was staying under a long time and this hurt pretty bad. I don't recall all my times but on the fast 500 I went 5:20 and the fast 300 I went 3:12.
Other than being tired I felt pretty good in the water today.
Fri business travel
400 warmup
20 x 25 burst/cruise or vice versa, variously free fly kick and fins

5 x (12.5m + midpool turn + 12.5m) fr on 1:00, moderate
8 x (12.5m + midpool turn + 12.5m) fr on 3:00, AFAP
Developed some good arm speed on the last few. Unfortunately however, I became a little too offensive to my left shoulder while digging out from the wall-less turns. Murphy's law - as soon as my right shoulder becomes happy, the left one reminds me how cautious I must remain. It doesn't hurt, just feels loose and numb - dang it!
Runday-Sunday - treadmill (too cold outside for me)
Warmup with light jog
8.5 mph for 7:00
1.7 mph for 3:00
11.5 mph for 0:30
1.7 mph for 3:00
11.6 mph for 0:30

As I entered the pool, the age groupers I used to swim with were just getting out of their morning workout. I talked with the coach, and he told me what they got to do for their main set:
200, rest 1:00
175, rest :50
150, rest :40
125, rest :30
100, rest :20
75, rest :10
50, rest :05
The killer part was...One series through of EACH STROKE!
Well, that gave me the idea for my swim today... (stupid James as always)
After a short warmup, I went for the Fly round (only one worth doing IMO)
I did have a lane to myself for this too.
200 Fly - went 2:23, took a 1:00 rest
175 Fly - went about 2:10, took :50 rest...hugging the laneline for support...
150 Fly - well, more like a 50 Fly, and then give up.
I did end up going 2500 yards for the day, though my second half was a lot of kicking in the overcrowded lap lanes
A few good things from today...my Fly confidence is back...I've been scared to swim long fly all fall and winter, but know I need to get back into it.
Also nice to know I could do a semi-relaxed 2:23 from a push. Now just need to get into a meet someday to put a time on the board! Hopefully I can be under 2:10.
Knowing I can make the tough part, my next goal is to work at this set until I can complete the entire 900 yards of the descending distances. This will really help me get ready for this summer's LC Nationals, which I still wish were short course.

Mother Earth News Fair
Our FAIRS bring living wisely to life with hands-on workshops in organic gardening, country skills, renewable energy and more.
Seven Springs Speaker Spotlight: James Farmer, Local Foods Marketer
I am going to be talking about what the consumers say are the benefits of shopping at the farmers' market or subscribing to CSAs. I will also present some details on what they don't like too. A second presentation will focus on marketing local foods for sale through farmers' markets and CSAs. This will include direct marketing techniques, as well as the consumer values and motivations as they pertain to each venue.
Ideas that are based on research, based on direct consumers. In particular, I am excited to discuss the significance of social media in local foods.
My wife and I once had a small CSA/farm in southern Indiana and became quite passionate about local foods with the arrival of our first child. Since then I have expanded my research to include local foods and organic production. Currently, I am the advisor to Miller Farm, Earlham College's student run agriculture living and learning center.
Fairgoers should attend my presentations to learn more about the benefits of farmers' markets and CSAs, as well as ways for attracting and keeping consumers. CSAs, specifically, have a rough go at retention. Hopefully we can shed some light on this issue.
We will be driving a 12 passenger van that will have 8 college students, my wife, two children (Samuel and Caroline), and myself.
Learning about sustainable agriculture to apply it to Miller Farm, and sharing the experience with my family and students.
Soak up as much as you can: there is plenty of time for rest on the way home.
My family, we would have a lot of fun.
Please visit the FAIR website for more information about the Seven Springs, Pa. FAIR September 24-25, and upcoming FAIRs in other locations. Tickets are on sale now.

Dunmore (PA) offensive lineman James McHale was one of six offensive linemen at Pitt's junior day on Saturday, out of a total of 35 prospects in attendance. It's reflective of the emphasis that Paul Chryst's staff places on recruiting at this postion.
McHale, 6-7, 290, helped lead Dunmore to a 14-2 season, and a Class A State Runner-Up finish.
"I had a great time, I love that they share a practice facility with the Steelers," McHale said. "I'd like to see more of the campus, but I loved it. I'll probably go to camp there, and see more of the campus next time."
The morning session consisted of meeting with the coaches, getting an academic presentation, and watching a highlight video from the 2012 season.
"Everyone was there, and Coach Chryst came in and talked," McHale said. "They split us up into positions, then we came back to learn about the academics. I liked (offensive line) coach (Jim) Hueber. I'd like to get to know him better."
In the afternoon, the prospects got to go to the Pitt basketball game to watch the Panthers knock of No. 6 Syracuse. It also didn't hurt that the fans gave the prospects a standing ovation as they were walking to their seats.
"I had a great time at the game," McHale said. "I loved it up there. I'm a big college basketball fan, so I thought it was real cool to be down there for an exciting game."
In addition to saying he will be back for a Pitt camp this summer, McHale also talked about what other junior days he might get to this offseason.
"I'm going to UConn on February 16th with my teammate, Daiqwon Buckley," McHale said. "They want us both to come up for their junior day. I'm also heading to Buffalo."
Despite losing three starters on the offensive line, McHale says there's a lot returning for his senior season as Dunmore looks to earn another spot in the state championship game.
"We're losing three of our best linemen, losing our running back and a couple receivers," McHale said."Daiqwon is getting some looks. We have our center back. We have a couple guys who stepped up as sophomores at defensive back and played a lot for us."
As a junior, McHale made the coaches All-Lackawanna County team. He also earned All-Reegion and All-State honors.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Now Playing - TV Show Talk' started by wprager, May 10, 2013.
Oh, well, it was inconsistent while it lasted.
Ah, that's going to make my wife unhappy.
Katherine McPhee needs a new project! Gotta keep her on TV
McPhee can't seem to find anything that sticks.
Something less sucky. Smash was a soap opera with singing. Didn't like how she was written.
Season two retool = kiss of death.
This may sound harsh, but belief cannot be suspended high enough to accept Anjelica Houston as an attractive woman. Just can't happen. If they do a TV version of La Cage, then she has a shot at a role. Her acting was terrible too, amongst a cast of many terrible actors. We enjoyed the show somewhat, but the disjointed story, predictable arcs and Anjelica Houston as a femme fatale put this writing on the wall.
A, the phrase is "suspension of disbelief." B, the word "suspend" in that phrase refers to "temporarily preventing from continuing to happen," and has nothing to do with a matter of altitude. In any case, not only was Anjelica not a femme fatale in this show by any stretch of the imagination, her appearance was not remotely an issue with this show. She played her role of a producer well enough IMO.
No, the issues with this show started right off the bat in season 1, and the show dug a hole so deep that no matter what they had done during season 2, there's not a chance it could ever have climbed out. I mean, other than the first and last episodes of season 1, there wasn't really much redeeming in that entire season. The choice to adopt a very silly, exaggerated, completely implausible version of the world of Broadway, complete with a pair of comic book villains in Ellis and Jerry, didn't help things any.
It wasn't until midway through this season, when new showrunner Josh Saffran's decision to blatantly plagarize the back story behind the creation of RENT got the show to calm down somewhat and show some of the promise the show could have had but never fulfilled.
How do you "plagarize" (sic) a real-life story?
This show was a dead man walking before the second season even started.
Yeah, I mis-typed and missed the I. In any case "plagiarize" was the closest word I could come up with, but I think it's appropriate, in that Safran went beyond being "inspired" by the story of RENT. Both shows were rock/pop inspired, mainly sung-through musicals developed by a pair of relatively unknown playwrights at the New York Theatre Workshop, with one of the creators die on the eve of the show moving to Broadway, and whose casts perform a concert performance of the music in honor of that creator. It was a little too close to the source material for my taste.
I'll throw a word out there. Coopt.
Yeah, I'm well aware it is not a matter of altitude, I thought I was being clever.
I knew some would have an issue with my use of femme fatale, but before I posted I reviewed a definition of the words and thought it could be used here. "a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations"
The very wealthy Jerry seems to continue to love her, no telling why, even when he's out with much younger and far more attractive women. The very much younger and more handsome bartender loved her and it put him in jail. The critic wanted to get busy with her at the detriment of his own reputation. I figured it was close enough and my thoughts weren't going to be dissected. All of these men were lead into compromising positions due to their love for Anjelica's character.
I say tie goes to the runner.
I only forced my family to watch the first couple of episodes this season, but I agree with the above - Season 2 was a goner before it ever aired.
Yeah, it was a mess. I'll still miss it, though.
This. 100%
A hot mess.
Except for her tops, unfortunately.
I think you're confusing love and sex.
Someone doesn't need to be attractive to have people be in love with them.
It's a shame that such a talented cast got such crap material to work with.

One of the fullest flavor dessert wine you'll taste!

Excellent late harvest wine. Nice alcohol level above 13% keeps this wine from becoming cloying. Delicious surprise! Nose of nectar, with hints of pineapple, banana, and vanilla. Similar flavors carry through onto the palette with a pez candy finish.

Holy moley! This stuff is amazing. So full and complex without feeling heavy or tiring. Vibrant and wonderful. Unlike any dessert wine I've had.

Eastern Area 2 Concrete, Paving & Utility Project – Phase 1
Canyon Road between East Road (N.M. 502) and the Myrtle Green continues to be closed to through traffic. Residential access to this area will be maintained; however, residents who park on Canyon Road are asked to park off-street or on a nearby side street. Residents can expect flagging operations on Canyon Road during the day time, and two-way traffic at night. Minor delays may be experienced. Pedestrians must use the provided pedestrian detours. All through traffic must seek alternate routes.
In 2002, Los Alamos County instituted a sidewalk obstruction removal program to clear sidewalks adjacent to homes and businesses of overgrown vegetation. Clearing crews hired by the county removed overgrown vegetation along sidewalks in Los Alamos and White Rock, leaving clear pathways for pedestrian use.
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A wall of smoke advances across a vast swath of rugged country in southwestern New Mexico where the nation's wilderness movement was born nearly a century ago.
From the air, the smoke stretches as far as the eye can see. On the ground, firefighters talk about the steep canyons that keep them from directly attacking what has become the largest wildfire in New Mexico's recorded history and the largest currently burning in the country.
Sure, things might look bad. But to land managers and scientists, the record-setting blaze represents a true test of decades of work aimed at returning fire to its natural role on the landscape — a test that comes as many Western states grapple with overgrown forests, worsening drought and a growing prospect for more megafires.
Los Alamos resident Robert Villareal is not only on a mission of faith - but also science.
In April, he traveled to Valencia, Spain where he gave a presentation and talk as part of the International Congress on the Holy Shroud. The shroud is said to have been the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
According to a pamphlet from the event, "the Spanish Centre of Sindonology was legalized in the national register center for associations in April 1987." The CES officially opened on Dec. 18, 1987 and celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.

Aubrie Powell of Los Alamos, has been named to the 2012 spring semester dean's list at Ohio Wesleyan University.

Imagine a place in our downtown designed to address housing and other needs of our early career "idea people" ... scientists, technologists, artists and innovators of all type ... and entrepreneurs. What would it look like? Where might be a good location? What related amenities would benefit both the residents and the larger community? The Los Alamos Creative District Steering Committee facilitated by Los Alamos MainStreet has been putting thought and effort into these and other questions. An early outcome from this work was a visit to Los Alamos in March by representatives of PLACE, a non-profit niche developer based in Minneapolis.
