If you are still using an older runtime version, then you should not install the latest runtime version immediately. The upgrade path from OpenDCL 5 is designed to be seamless and problem-free for end users, however you should wait for developers to complete testing on the new runtime version before upgrading. Developers You should now be developing, testing, and supporting your application on the OpenDCL 6 runtime architecture. You should make an effort to test and support your application on the Bricscad for Windows platform. You should not assume end users will continue using the version of OpenDCL Runtime shipped with your application. ]]> 3 Owen Wengerd http://www.manusoft.com http://opendcl.com/wordpress/?p=152 2011-04-03T17:18:35Z 2011-04-03T17:18:35Z OpenDCL 6 Release Candidate 2 is now available.

Case for a Creator DVD & Study Guide
Full Product Description
Bestselling author Lee Strobel explores the compelling evidence that the complexity of our universe is best explained by the existence of a Creator.
?My road to atheism was paved by science? but, ironically, so was my later journey to God.?
Former atheist Lee Strobel has discovered that science, far from being the enemy of faith, now provides a solid foundation for belief in God. New scientific discoveries point to the incredible complexity of our universe, a complexity best explained by the existence of a Creator.
This revised six-session DVD and study guide invites participants to encounter this evidence delivered in a compelling conversational style. Join Strobel in reexamining the theories that once led him away from God. Pastors and small group leaders seeking resources that answer tough questions about the existence of God will find compelling answers in Case for a Creator: A DVD Study.
The six sessions include:
? Science and God
? Doubts about Darwinism
? The Evidence of Cosmology
? The Fine Tuning of the Universe
? The Evidence of Biochemistry
? The DNA and the Origin of Life

Question Of The Day
Feel free to respond in the comments below or tweet to me @Booooooom.
Feel free to respond in the comments below or tweet to me @Booooooom.
Published independently by photographer Allen Ying, 43 Magazine is the exact size of a vinyl record cover. You might wanna pre-order issue #2 as it might be tough to find where you live!
Thanks to Sophie (all the way out in London) for sending in some letters to our project! If you want to get involved in our latest project jump over here.
Sophie if you read this, let me know what your website is and I'll link you. Thanks for being a part of the project!
The new Booooooom project is here!
I wanted to launch a fun project before I left Hawaii so I spent the last couple days building a giant cork board at Fresh Café (located in the front of Loft In Space, which hosts Pow Wow).
The idea is to have people from all over the world create letters, photograph them, and physically mail the photos to the café! I shot a few sets of letters on the beach with some friends to kick it off.
Hopefully over time there will be a giant collection of these letters that people at Fresh Café can use to spell fun messages!
My friends at Lomography have hooked me up with another camera to giveaway! This time it's the "Orinoco Ochre" edition of the La Sardina (comes with a flash). Who wants it?
Snail mail from the last month or so.
As 2011 comes to a close I want to thank you all once again for continuing to support Booooooom! I am amazed that even after four years the site continues to grow at a rapid pace. 45,000 good looking people now follow Booooooom on Twitter, and our Facebook family has grown to over 74,000! I'm also starting something new in 2012 called the Secret Email Club but I'll tell you more about it in the new year.
A huge high-five to everyone who participated in any of our projects this year. The response to our Remake project was especially insane so I owe a sincere thank you to everyone who shared it (although it crushed our server and nearly brought down our entire site when the MOMA, Walker Art Center, Huffington Post, and several other huge sites all shared it at the same time).
Last year I posted 75 photos by 75 photographers (2010).
Here are 75 photos by 75 photographers that I came across in 2011. Again, these photos weren't necessarily produced this year, I simply encountered them for the first time in the last 12 months.
I thought this first image was especially relevant to ringing in the New Year! See you all in 2012! Enjoy.

All of your votes have been tallied and it's my pleasure to finally congratulate Justin Nunnink! His Remake submission was a fantastic re-imagining of "The Ship" by Salvador Dali.
Excellent work Justin, you've won yourself the entire Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection courtesy of Adobe!

Great First Time Cruise: Carnival Inspiration Cruise Review by elle2495
Overall Member Rating
Great First Time Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
Dining: The food was great. The selection in the dining room was enough to please any palate. I found the fish options were just okay but with so many other tasty options, I never went hungry. My boyfriend had the Warm Melting Chocolate cake every night—it was really good! The pizza was fantastic and even better fresh from the oven. The onboard deli was just a wonderful too. The buffets had the standard buffet fare which seemed to satisfy everyone.
Public Rooms: I found the public rooms to be fine. They had numerous shops with duty free items. More Jewelry, liquor, trinkets could be had by all! The casino space was pretty large and I was impressed by the layout. Many lounges and places to hang out scattered throughout the ship. Disappointed with the pool and hot tubs...only four hot tubs on the whole ship which never seemed to accommodate the crowds. One item of note...the hot tubs were barely tepid and not as hot as I thought they could be. The Serenity deck was a great addition; however, it was difficult to get one of the cushioned lounge chair due to the crowds.
Cabins: We found an awesome deal for an "obstructed view" junior suite. First of all...our view wasn't obstructed at all—our cabin was the "last" obstructed view. The balcony was on the small size but perfect for our needs. The room size was perfect with enough space to move around, hang clothes, drawers for everyone. Bathroom was roomy with a shower and plenty of room to move around. The bed was great and very comfy. However, do not forget to bring your hair dryer...none are provided!
Entertainment: The shows were good. We paid the $55 for the "Behind the Fun" tour. It was worth EVERY penny. I highly recommend signing up for it on the first day on board...limited space! You get to go behind the scenes from the theater stage to the kitchen as well as the Engine Control room and the Bridge where the Captain drives the ship!
Spa & Fitness: Spa was great. I had a deep tissue massage while on board. Be careful though...the therapists are trying to push their products! The Fitness center was great too...however watch out for peak times (early morning) and the ensuing wait for a machine. They have spinning and yoga for an extra charge. Sign up early for the spinning classes b/c they only allow 12 per class. I never made it into a class. The walking/jogging track was a great addition and alternative to the fitness center.
Shore Excursions: We were outrunning Hurricane Paula so the only shore excursion we had was in Grand Cayman. We took the Cayman Deluxe tour which included Hell, Turtle Farm, and Stingray City. First of all, the tendering process in Grand Cayman was smoother than I expected. The tour was good. Hell was a brief stop at a gift shop with a post office for postcard with the "Hell" postmark! The Turtle Farm was okay. I thought the Turtle Farm was a rehabilitation farm for turtles displace during hurricanes, etc. NOT SO! It's a farm where they raise turtles for TURTLE MEAT! Yikes! The Stingray City part of the tour was great. We were able to swim with the Stingrays on a sand bar about 30 minutes from shore. We battled rain on the way back, but all in all, a great day. Our beach excursion in Cozumel was canceled due to the impending Hurricane Paula.
Service: Service throughout the cruise was fantastic. Our cabin steward Narieya was OUTSTANDING. She was sweet and her team provided superb service from beginning to end. The nightly towel animals were a welcome addition to twice a day service! Our dining room team Komang and his assistant were attentive without being bothersome. Anything we wanted was provided!
Value-for-Money: Overall, I think we exceeded the value for the money we paid. Our cabin was fabulous.
Rates: Thought rates were great for the cabin, food, entertainment, service we received.
Debarkation: This was a breeze. We tagged our bags the night before and debarked at 9:00AM. We were off the ship with bags through customs by 9:20AM. We had a late flight out of Tampa so took advantage of the service the Port of Tampa provides. For $7 you can check your baggage and for $20 get two people shuttled to the airport. We picked some discount tickets to the Tampa aquarium (which was worth every penny). Before leaving Tampa we had lunch at Taverna Opa located at the Channelside Shops and Restaurants! WONDERFUL Greek food with tableside made hummus! Don't miss it! Less

Cabin review: OBV30 Junior Suite (obstructed views)
The cabin was FABULOUS. We had an obstructed view Junior Suite. Our view was anything but obstructed! The closet space was more than enough for two people...we didn't even use it all. The drawer space was plentiful with a minibar, small TV, and nice sitting area. The bathroom was spacious with a shower. Don't forget to bring your hair dryer!Read All Junior Suite (obstructed views) (OB) Reviews >>

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Review by horror_spooky
"I Like my Martinis Hiding in the Dark with a Silenced Pistol...Not Stirred"
Ever since I played Double Agent, I've been dying to play an earlier Splinter Cell game. So, I picked up this one after hearing about how fun it was on the Internet. I'll admit that it was fun, but I got nothing that amazing out of it.
Sam Fisher is capable of many things, including stabbing people, interrogating, creeping along in the shadows like a creepy psychotic leprechaun and, of course, hacking every electrical-device known to man. This is no exception for Chaos Theory. All of Sam's usual gizmos and gadgets are all present and accounted for.
I do have a problem with the co-op feature in Chaos Theory. I found the co-op campaign to be very boring, especially compared to the single-player campaign offered. It's very difficult to be stealthy when there are two Splinter Cells to worry about and you and your partner will often just get frustrated with trying to work together and just stab all the guards you come across. The way that team moves are activated is very annoying with the GC's controller. You have to hold down the Z button and then press on the d-pad, which is annoying when each of the directions on the d-pad seem to have a different purpose while holding Z each time you press it.
I found the story disappointing. The single player story isn't really that great, it's acceptable, but not something that will stick in your mind after you're done playing. The biggest complaint I have with the story is that the co-op story doesn't fit into the single-player story. This makes the co-op mode seem dry and it really sucks the life from the game.
Chaos Theory's graphics are outstanding, especially for the GameCube. I was blown away with the texturing, but the character modules, I couldn't say the same for. The characters never move their mouths when speaking and very seldom show much emotion, even when you can tell they're scared by their voice. When Sam or another character attempted to walk up a flight of stairs, it looked like they were standing on an invisible escalator or something because they slid right up the thing.
Text is usually provided when someone buzzes into Sam's ear. That's all fine and good, but sometimes a character would say something that didn't show up on the text. This isn't really a big problem with me, but a minor annoyance that shows the developers didn't really check over their work.
For some reason, this Splinter Cell seems unusually shorter than the other games. The solo campaign can be beaten in less than a day and the co-op campaign can be beaten in even less than that. In fact, you probably could beat the game on most of the modes in under twenty-four hours. However, Chaos Theory does provide some goodies that are worth checking out, including a teaser trailer for the Splinter Cell film.
Of course, if you find stealth games annoying, stray away from Chaos Theory, but if you are a fan of stealth games, get off the stupid computer and go buy the damn thing! If you're neutral on the subject, you should probably rent this Splinter Cell installment first.

By Sharon Silke Carty, USA TODAY
DETROIT In what may be a 1990s-like blip of irrational exuberance, investors sent shares of unprofitable electric-car maker Tesla Motors soaring more than 40% Tuesday even as the overall stock market fell sharply.
Shares were issued at $17 for the initial public offering and quickly rose to about $19 when trading opened. By midafternoon, the price started climbing again to close at $23.89.
PHOTO GALLERY: Tesla Motors plans IPO
"It says a lot about opening-day speculation and hysteria," says John O'Dell, senior editor for Edmunds' Green Car Advisor blog. "It doesn't say a lot about Tesla. And I'm not sure it says a whole lot about the collective wisdom of the market."
The company raised $188.8 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, after IPO expenses. The original stockholders — folks allowed to buy shares before they hit the Nasdaq market Tuesday — earned $22.5 million.
There is much skepticism that Tesla can be an automaker. In two years, the company has sold just 1,000 two-seat, high-performance Tesla Roadsters, which start at more than $100,000. It has just one prototype of its Model S sedan, aimed to be more mainstream at about half that price. The Model S is planned to go on sale in 2012, an ambitious timeline even for established automakers.
Tesla hasn't made money in its seven years in business and has just 12 dealerships nationwide.
CEO Elon Musk told CNBC Tuesday that if the company weren't trying to expand and weren't investing in the Model S sedan, it would be profitable selling the Roadster.
"People need to appreciate that if we were just making the Roadster, we'd be profitable," Musk said. "But we're in massive expansion mode.
"I think people at this point ought to be a little more optimistic about the future of Tesla," he said. "We've confounded the critics at every turn. At a certain point, people have to get tired of being wrong."
The U.S. government is betting that Tesla will beat the odds: It awarded the automaker a $465 million loan to help develop the roadster.
"It remains to be seen if American car buyers will be interested in a sedan with a claimed range of just 160 miles in an environment where battery-charging is still a lengthy process and battery-charging infrastructure is very limited at best," says Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst at Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com. "Tesla Motors should get high marks for its progress so far, but the future still represents a steep uphill climb."

The cancellation of TV on the Radio's five North American concerts was announced when they informed the passing of their bassist/keyboardist.
Following the passing of their "beloved friend and bandmate" Gerard Smith, rock band TV on the Radio scrapped five dates of their on-going North American tour. The first canceled gig is the one which was supposed to take place at St. Andrew Halls, Detroit MI on April 20.
They also dropped a show at Metro, Chicago IL on April 22, two concerts at First Ave, Minneapolis MN on April 23 and 24, as well as one gig at Ogden, Denver CO on April 26. They are expected to be back on the road on April 29 in San Fransisco CA, but it's not confirmed just yet as "there will be more information as it becomes available."
Gerard Smith played bass and keyboard in TV on the Radio. He died on Wednesday morning after losing "a courageous fight against lung cancer." The band announced the sad news in a joint statement on their official website, saying in deep grief, "We will miss him terribly."
TV on the Radio have just released their fifth studio album "Nine Types of Light" in the U.S. on April 12 this year, peaking at No. 12 on Billboard Hot 200. They followed up the album release with a number of tour dates including a confirmed date at Glastonbury Festival in Pilton, GBR on June 26.

Platinum Stars are currently enjoying their second best start in their 10 seasons in the top flight.
Dikwena's 2-0 victory over Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday took their points tally to 22 from 12 matches, a number which is boosted by six wins in their last seven games.
The only time they had a better beginning to the season was in the 2006/07 campaign under Owen da Gama, when they managed 24 points from their first 12 matches and would go on to finish second that year behind Mamelodi Sundowns.
They also won the Telkom Knockout in that season in what was the most successful spell in the club's history.
Now coach Cavin Johnson is hoping to recreate that success and the numbers are certainly on his side.
Victory at Maritzburg United in their next match on December 4 would equal that best-ever campaign, and perhaps have the players believing they are on to something special this season.
The club's worst points haul after 12 matches was in their very first top-flight season when they managed just 10, but would go on to avoid the drop.
In all, they have averaged 15 points after 12 games in their 10 seasons in the PSL, putting them well on course for a special year in 2012/13.
Platinum Stars' PSL points after 12 matches:
2003/04 - 10 points
2004/05 - 11 points
2005/06 - 17 points
2006/07 - 24 points
2007/08 - 11 points
2008/09 - 16 points
2009/10 - 12 points
2010/11 - 15 points
2011/12 - 12 points
2012/13 - 22 points

The UB Alumni Association has been recognizing its outstanding alumni for nearly 60 years. The pool of talent is seemingly limitless, as are their talents and contributions to UB and the world. Graham Stewart, Associate VP
ON APRIL 20, the UB Alumni Association presented achievement awards to 12 individuals at a black tie gala event in the Adams Mark Hotel in downtown Buffalo. The awards are presented each spring to alumni and friends of UB for bringing distinction to themselves and the university through outstanding professional and personal achievement, loyal service to UB and exemplary service to their communities. Also that evening, four students were awarded J. Scott Fleming Scholarships. They are Adam Bavifard, BA 05; Jenna Chrisphonte, BA 02; Angela Peters and Adriana Viverette.
Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented to Barry Glick, PhD 81 & BA 74, of Warren, VT; Molly Raiser, MA 79, of Washington, DC; Stephen C. Dunnett, PhD 77 & BA 68, of Williamsville, NY; and Krishna Kolluri, MS 88, of Sara-toga, CA.
Glick is founder and former CEO of MapQuest, the first and most successful consumer and business-to-business mapping and routing Web site. He has had a 20-plus year career working with companies built around the theme of location, image and text-based information products and services. Raiser served as chief of protocol and ambassador during the Clinton Administration.

Acapulco Tofu
Welcome to March's Secret Recipe Club! It feels so awesome to be joining the SRC again after taking my baby break – I missed the fun that comes with being sent a blog to explore. This month I was given Sid's Sea Palm Cooking, a blog I was very familiar with thanks to Facebook and previous SRC reveals. I had a very hard time picking a recipe this month as Sid's blog is stuffed to the gills with all sorts of recipes including retro favorites and Danish treats. Two of the "finalists" were part of the Danish block: Baked Omelette and Cauliflower with Herbs. In the end I could not get past her Chicken Acapulco recipe and decided that I had to give it a whirl. I replaced the chicken with extra firm tofu and since I was unable to find the McCormick meat seasoning in the original recipe I made my own.
1 lb tofu, cubed and well pressed
1 packet meat seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp water
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 jalapeno, diced
2 cloves garlic, iced
1 Spanish onion, diced
3 roma tomatoes
1 tsp gourmet garden cilantro (or 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, diced)
1 cup Monterrey jack cheese
1/2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese
- Place the cubed/pressed tofu in a deep bowl. In a small bowl i together the seasoning, olive oil, water, and vinegar then pour over the tofu. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu over halfway.
- In a large bowl, mix together the jalapeno, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro - set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu. Cook for at least 5 minutes on each side, tofu should be a light golden color. Add the tomato mixture (Pico de gallo) and turn heat to low. Allow to cook for 15 minutes.
- Slowly stir in the cheeses being careful to not over crowd the pan. Once cheese has melted, serve on a warm tortilla or over yellow rice.
- Eat and Enjoy!
Fantastic! The spices and the cheese went together perfectly and by giving the tofu enough time to drain it was really able to soak up all the flavors. We enjoyed ours taco style for dinner and as a burrito bowl the next day with some Spanish style rice – adding some fresh avocado and green pepper each time. I had never heard of acapulco chicken (or tofu!) before finding this recipe but now it will be on regular rotation. It might require a number of bowls but it comes together super quick. For a real short cut, pick up some fresh made pico de gallo at the grocery store. Another great recipe thanks to the Secret Recipe Club!!!

[1]Internet auction giant eBay (EBAY[2]) is facing criticism over listings for Nazi-related items on its website[3].
The company said it was sorry after a British newspaper identified 30 items relating to the Holocaust placed up for bid on the website. Those auctions have been canceled and eBay said it has "made a donation to charity to reflect our concern," CNN notes.
An official for the World Jewish Congress said the sale of items linked to the Holocaust was "outrageous, disgusting and disrespectful," but said eBay "did the right thing" by withdrawing the items.
In its listing policy, eBay bans the auctioning of certain items associated with the Nazis, though it does permit the selling of "historical items."
The U.K.'s Daily Mail found a variety of items — including a uniform worn by an Auschwitz victim[4] — listed for sale.
Last month, the U.S. law enforcement authorities made public efforts to locate Romanian scammers who used a number of online retailers — including eBay — to swindle people into buying cars that didn't exist[5].

Using packet trace tools iptrace, snoop, tcpdump, wireshark, and nettl
trace; packet trace; packet capture; packet trace tools; iptrace; snoop; tcpdump; ethereal; wireshark; nettl
Technote (troubleshooting)
Creating, formatting, and reading packet traces is sometimes required to resolve problems with IBM® WebSphere® Edge Server. However, the most appropriate tool varies, depending on operating system.
Resolving the problem
Available for multiple operating systems
Wireshark is useful and a freely available tool that can read files and capture packets on almost any operating system.
You can use any combination of these options, you do not need to use them all:
|Do NOT print out arps. Useful with clean up traces.
|-s <source id>
|Limit trace to source/client IP address, if known.
|-d <destination id>
|Limit trace to destination IP, if known.
|Capture bidirectional traffic (send and responsepackets).
|-p <port>
|Specify the port to be traced.
- Run iptrace on AIX interface en1 to capture port 80 traffic from a single client IP to a server IP:
iptrace -a -i en1 -s clientip -b -d serverip -p 80 trace.out
This trace will capture both directions of the port 80 traffic on interface en1 between the clientip and serverip and send this to the raw file of trace.out.
- Reproduce the problem, then run the following:
ps -ef|grep iptrace
kill -15 <pid>
Trace tools like Wireshark can read trace.out files created by iptrace
exception: it is not possible to collect a packet capture on AIX when using IBM Load Balancer for ipv4 and ipv6
Using snoop on Solaris™
|Include verbose output. Commonly used when dumping to pre-formatted output.
|Dump in binary format. Output written to a binary file that is readable by Ethereal.
Example scenario:
snoop hme0 -v >snoop.out
snoop -o snoop.out
These commands capture all traffic on the hme0 interface. Use combinations of snoop options to meet your needs.
Warning: Using some options, packets may be corrupted by snoop.
Using tcpdump on Linux®
tcpdump has many options and a comprehensive man page.
A simple way to capture all packets to a binary file which is readable with ethereal.
tcpdump -s 2000 -w filename.out
For a simple packet trace that is formatted and readable by any text editor.
This will listen on the default interface for all port 80 traffic.
tcpdump port 80 >filename.out
This will watch only the eth1 interface.
tcpdump -i eth1 >filename.out
Using Network Monitor with Microsoft® Windows®
- Start Network Monitor.
- Select the interface to listen on and click start.
- Once the traffic needed has been captured, click stop.
- Save the resulting file which can be read by Network Monitor or ethereal.
For additional information, visit the technote, How to capture network traffic with Network Monitor
Using nettl on HP-UX
The nettl tool provides control network tracing and logging.
/usr/sbin/nettl -start
/usr/sbin/nettl -stop
/usr/sbin/nettl -firmlog 0|1|2 -card dev_name ...
/usr/sbin/nettl -log class ... -entity subsystem ...
/usr/sbin/nettl -status [log |trace |all]
/usr/sbin/nettl -traceon kind ... -entity subsystem ...

I finally did this route yesterday under perfect late summer conditions, and it was fun. Bernard's description is spot on, (amazed at all the route details you describe Bernard!).
Gerry Roach describes the down climb from the loft to Clark's arrow as class 3, but there are a few class 4 down climb moves IMO, as Bernard mentions in his description. Don't think I want to try this in winter!
By Mike McMahon
From: Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah
Sep 22, 2007
|So, I climbed the 'Loft' to 'Clark's Arrow' for the third time today and finally climbed (what I believe was) the 'Skyscraper' variation. I was pretty much exhausted when I reached this section, so some of my details might be a bit fuzzy. I don't remember the distinct tower on the right side of the Skyscraper; however, I was certainly in a narrow, pronounced gully right of a huge, pancake-stack-looking tower. I was really hurting by this point in the climb, and I thought this was harder than 5.0 (but that was probably just mild hypoxia and boots!) I've have also done the standard finish to the homestretch, and another variation listed in Roach's Fourteeners. This var. has the climber ascend into the Notch from Keplinger's, and climb to the summit via the Upper East Face (final pitches of Notch Couloir route), which probably goes at 5.4. However, if I wasn't ready to lose my lunch at any minute, the Skyscraper route would certainly be the finest finish I've done.

Actually the ASIC separates the headers so the driver doesn't need to break packets down. The driver just chains the payload (for several packets from a same-flow burst) and builds the header for this single oversized frame. Kind of inversed TSO, but on receive side. We are going to post an experimental driver code in 2-3 weeks, along with this "Large Receive Offload" algorithm, for review. Cheers, Leonid > > cheers, > jamal > >

When recounting her trip to her friend Glen (marten Holder Weiner), Sally summed up her visit to Manhattan in one word: "Dirty."
Otherwise the marten are as well furred and as rich and deep in color as the far-famed Labrador ones.
However, he is even livelier in the trees than is Spite the marten.
At this the man was very indignant, and so they arranged to punish the marten.
Not long after the marten came by on the look out for his supper.
His bed was in an attic, next door to his big cousin marten's room.
The marten laughed and answered: 'Did you ever hear anything so strange?
Farther north the marten have longer fur, but not finer than you will find here, so that they bring just as good prices.
October 10th we began to set traps for marten, ermine and wolf.
The marten travels mostly in the gullies and depressions on the mountains and hills.
mid-13c., "skin or fur of the marten," from Old French martrine "marten fur," noun use of fem. adjective martrin "of or pertaining to the marten," from martre "marten," from Frankish *martar or some other Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *marthuz (cf. Old Saxon marthrin "of or pertaining to the marten," Old Frisian merth, Middle Dutch maerter, Dutch marter, Old High German mardar, German Marder, Old English mearþ, Old Norse mörðr "marten"), probably from PIE *martu- "bride," perhaps on some fancied resemblance, or else a Germanic euphemism for the real name of the animal, which might have been taboo.
In Middle English the animal itself typically was called marter, directly from Old French martre, but marten took over this sense in English c.1400.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 19, 2007
Becky Wexler
Washington, DC--Adding more good news to last week's announcement that Nexavar® (sorafenib) may be the first effective treatment for advanced liver cancer, researchers at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have uncovered a new molecular mechanism that may "spontaneously" cause liver cancer.
Part of the well-known TGF-ß tumor suppressor pathway, the molecule disappears in the cells of nearly 90 percent of human hepatocellular cancers, the most common type of liver cancer. Lopa Mishra, MD, professor and vice chair in the department of surgery at Georgetown University Medical Center, showed that loss of only one copy of the embryonic liver fodrin, or ELF gene, can result in spontaneous development of liver cancer in human cell cultures and in vivo models.
In a paper published online by Oncogene on June 4, Mishra and her team also reported that by reintroducing ELF to the cancer cells, the proteins driving cell division and growth were kept in check. To the research team, this implies that ELF or another inhibitor of downstream cell division and growth proteins could be developed into an effective new therapy.
"We're looking for ways of treating untreatable cancers," explained Mishra. "Pancreatic and liver cancers are the third- and fourth-leading causes of cancer death in the world."
Hepatocellular cancer has a very low 5-year survival rate – less than 5 percent – and the incidence of the disease has risen in the United States over the past several years.
One difficulty in treating liver cancer is the variety of different mutations seen in among patients. The findings about ELF may indicate that it is a critical component that could be targeted to treat 90 percent of patients with this disease. Currently, only 12 percent of patients are eligible for surgery, and very few other treatment options are available.
Mishra's findings on the role of ELF in the development of liver cancer also suggest a method for preventing the disease. Because the cancer forms as a multistep process, beginning with cirrhosis and following a known progression, it's possible that the same ELF molecule can be targeted to pre-cancerous lesions in the liver.

Hi! I'm Clyde, my foster mom calls me "Big Boy," but I don't know what she is talking about! – I fit in her lap just fine!
I just want to everyone know that I am a self-proclaimed big goof! But I am a lovable goof. I love to be by someone's side most of the day, whether you're walking around or sitting down on the couch. Oh how I love to cuddle on the couch! It's so soft, and it makes me fall asleep every time (apparently I snore loudly though). I will paw you a little and just start to climb into your lap even if I don't have enough room to get up there with you. I do not have much training. I am slowly learning this thing called "sit." Also, when I lift my paw to let my foster parent know I am there, they say "shake," but I am not sure what that means.
I also haven't figured out how to tell them when I have to go potty, although I get to go out a lot so its rarely a problem. For some reason though I don't feel the need to go when I am in my crate, so my foster mom says if I'm adopted by 8-to-5'ers, they might want to set me up a crate apartment. I am interested in my foster kitties. I can sniff at the black one, but the orange fuzzy one spits and hisses at me. I don't know what his problem is. He is slowly coming around though since I am showing him I won't bother him. My other foster brother is a dog, and he is a midget compared to me – but I like him just fine. He likes to run fast around the yard and lets me chase him. I also have had the some big friends come over to play. They smelled a little funny at first, but before I knew it we were all over the yard and barking at things in the tree!
All that said, I can pretty much get along with anyone, and I warm up to them very quickly. I was found running around with my sister Bonnie (you should check out her page too!). We were running for a little while and were thick as thieves...get it?...Bonnie and Clyde?! (Ok, we tried.) Anyway, we are pretty close (being on the lamb with someone will do that!), but if we must part, I would still love a doggie companion where ever I end up! I am not a big fan things swinging at me. My foster mom wanted to play fetch one day, and that stick scared me to death. I hunched and ran away! I did the same thing when she swung her leg over the baby gate. I am not sure why, but that stuff is a bit scary. I like to bow down, do a little dance and then jump away while barking when I don't want to go into house or the crate. I don't think my foster parents like that game sometimes, but it gives me more play time.
I do need to warn you, I am a mouther and a nibbler. I can't help that your arm can fit in my mouth. When I get excited or really into playing that's when I want to nibble any part of you or my playmates that's close. I think its fun! And I'm just trying to love you and play, so don't worry, I don't get rough with it. On occasion I do enjoy to chew on anything in my way, be it the blue squeaky pig toy or my foster mom's sandal or cell phone (the last two were not such a good idea, I got in trouble big time.... oops!). Lesson learned!!
So all in all I think I am a pretty good (and handsome) fellow! I got my little issues, but who doesn't! I'm definitely willing to work through them with the right family. So if you're interested in a big goofy boy who likes to play and romp AND CUDDLE....put in your application now! They say I'm a shoe in for a fast adoption, because I'm sooooo cute!

Regents from the Regional University System of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have approved Northwestern Oklahoma State University's budget for the 2015 fiscal year that begins July 1.
Northwestern will operate with a primary budget of $25,715,701, about 2 percent larger than the current FY14 budget.
Faced with no additional state funding, and mandatory and inflationary cost increases, a tuition increase of $12 per credit hour was approved, bringing the cost of tuition and mandatory fees to $185 per credit hour. For a student enrolled in 15 credit hours per semester, the increase will total $180.
"Nobody likes increases in tuition, but operational costs continue to rise and state appropriations for higher education continue to fall short," said Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president. "State appropriations used to cover 75 percent of a student's costs. Today that percentage has fallen to 40 percent. We have made all of the cuts possible without sacrificing quality. The last option is to change tuition rates."
"And yet we know it could have been worse. The initial proposed budget included a 5 percent cut for higher education. Fortunately, our legislative leadership stepped in and eliminated the cut. It was a long, hard fight just to get to zero."
Increased costs for food and utilities are also driving an increase in room and board rates. A student in a semi-private room with a 15 meal per week plan will pay $135 more per semester.
Despite the increase, tuition and fee costs remain well below the peer limit for regional universities, and the total cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room and board) remains very competitive.
Last year, Northwestern was recognized by U.S. News and World Report as having the nation's sixth most affordable tuition among four-year public institutions and the lowest campus living costs in the nation.
"We have worked hard to keep our rates as low as possible," Cunningham said. "When you compare our costs with other four-year institutions, plus add in our financial aid packages, Northwestern is a clear value."
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Read our helpful guide to second hand Land Rover Defender .
You won't find any stolen vehicles or insurance write-offs on AA Cars
* Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. Please refrain from providing credit/debit card information on these calls. If you do so it is at your own risk.
** plus VAT where applicable
AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used vehicle dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Land Rover Defender vehicles on the market. You can also browse Land Rover dealers to find a second hand vehicle close to you today. All used Land Rover Defender on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
In the Land Rover range, the only model which still carries the same raw performance and robust character of the original cars is the Defender. A boxy, chunky beast, it may not be beautiful in the traditional sense, but it has a rugged charm which manages to enamour both 4X4 enthusiasts and even some green-minded environmentalists. On the road it is sluggish and unrefined; bulky and solid. Off road, on the other hand, it is a fiercely capable, utilitarian tank of a car. In a market rife with comfortable, domesticated SUVs, the Defender is a reminder of what a 4X4 was designed to do - take you anywhere you wanted to go. Whether there are roads there or not.

Back to the future—a reassessment
Forecasts change constantly as conditions evolve.
Meeting by hologram—it just isn't the same.
"On the green front, advanced electronics and engine technologies will allow aircraft to fly faster and cleaner than ever, using Jet A, clean diesel or automotive fuels. In addition, there will be better fuel economy and capabilities that will extend range and increase fuel load." However, in the range of 20–40 years the picture gets murky.
If AI becomes smart enough to monitor flight conditions and advise the pilot about the optimum course and speed, aircraft separation and other circumstances formerly monitored by the computer between the pilot's ears, eventually it will become smart enough to fly the plane. For Bushnell and Pearson, that could happen as early as 2030, and maybe even sooner.
Jetcraft's Elliott concurs, and pictures some of the wonders soon to come. "Before leaving the ground, your future aircraft will have a full and clear flight profile from beginning to end, with no requirement for human interaction," he says.
"Mapped in 5D [3D airspace plus time and predictive motion], the flight will be shown in such detail that an aircraft that may be 'nearby when 150 nm at 086 heading from CLT and at 10,000 ft, 2 hours from takeoff' will be shown real-time on your graphic predictive flightplan."
Weather, winds, and later holographic navigation guidance with passenger selective entertainment will also be provided. "Fully automated flight operations will make flying an aircraft simpler than driving an automobile," says Elliott. "Because windshields will go away, allowing supersonic aircraft operations, holographic flight tunnels will be displayed in front of the pilot for takeoff and landing, with faded versions for enroute use.
The tunnel will guide the aircraft automatically." He continues, "The holographic tunnels will be provided by a series of high-Earth-orbit satellites or some later technology. They will be regenerated constantly, based on the 5D predictive airspace, showing the movements of all air operators and weather.
In addition, the tunnels will adjust the aircraft consistently and constantly to remain inside the tunnel tube, thus shielding the plane from turbulence, weather and other craft." TechCast's Halal foresees even more heavily automated aviation. "Our experts think 30% of all flights will be made by small private aircraft about 2028," he says.
"With artificial intelligence appearing everywhere, it's easy to envision a new generation of cars, trucks, military vehicles, robots and aircraft, all guided by automatic control systems, collision avoidance, radar mapping, navigation and the other smart features now emerging on intelligent vehicles that operate by themselves."
But will flying really be necessary, given the possible role of videoconferencing as a substitute for travel? For now, it is suitable only for routine meetings. In 30 years, to pick a number almost at random, that may no longer be true. By then, we will have genuine virtual reality, with sights, sounds and even odors and touch sensations pouring directly into our brains.
We will be able to sit in a New York office, or in the bathtub at home, and yet "attend" a conference in Beijing, even shaking hands with our colleagues. Or meet friends from Warsaw, Cape Town and Mumbai for a shared outing in Rio that takes place with total realism only in our minds.
And why bother actually going somewhere when you can have the same experience without leaving the comfort and safety of your own office or home? Of course, there will still be reasons to travel on business. When meeting new associates, most people will still want to "press the flesh" at least once.
New offices and factories will still require groundbreaking ceremonies that must be attended in person. And the most sensitive business data will—with luck—be more secure if conveyed in person rather than over a computer network. Yet such occasions make up a relatively small fraction of our travel.
The rest may migrate into virtual reality, where airplanes and their pilots no longer have a role. Bushnell believes that the airlines will disappear because there is too little demand to support them. There is another factor to consider as well. When I worked for the US Navy in the early 1950s, we discovered some unexpected biases in our forecast results.
When we examined how they had worked out, we discovered that the shortest-term forecasts were almost invariably too optimistic. For predictions with target dates of 3 years or less, we had to double the time estimates. Engineering and manufacturing a viable product invariably took longer than expected. But for long-term forecasts—anything over 15 years—we had to cut the times in half.
Over such long periods, unpredictable breakthroughs either made the hard problems easier or made the technology we had been thinking about obsolete. One way or another, a device that we expected to see in 30 years would arrive in 15, or something else would come along to replace it.
So the virtual reality that Bushnell expects to see around 2040 could be here as soon as 2025. Other cutting-edge technologies may be affected by this phenomenon. In our Technology Timeline (Pro Pilot, Dec 2009, p 54), artificial intelligence exceeded human intelligence as early as the 2020s.
The 2030s were the time of 50 to 100-passenger supersonic transports and fully automated "hop in and go" personal aircraft. And in the 2040s, "tele-everything" was expected to replace most physical travel, while the arrival of "4D" airspace that projects development in time as well as the traditional three dimensions eliminated the need for traditional air traffic control system.
Given our experience at the Navy, it may be necessary to pull these forecasts closer in to the present. For this generation of professional pilots, air travel will expand constantly, while both airplanes and the airspace they inhabit will become quicker, cleaner, safer and more convenient.
For the next generation, given the insights of our contributors, we wonder just how many pilots will be needed a couple of decades ahead. We may be looking ahead to a time when flight reverts to its original nature. It will not be an industry—just one of the most wonderful adventures those of us who are privileged to fly will ever experience.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.1721 Monday, 11 October 1999.
Date: Saturday, 9 Oct 1999 22:40:03 +1000
Subject: Fat Hamlet
In the final scene of Hamlet, while Hamlet is fighting with Laertes
Gertrude says of Hamlet:
He's fat, and scant of breath.
I have always been curious as to what the 'fat' refers to. My
mathematics lecturer (a Russian lady who has a bit of a thing for
Shakespeare, which she says sounds better in Russian) used this line to
defend the forty-something year old, rather portly Hamlet of the
well-known Russian version of Hamlet. Is this the real reason? Or is
there some more satisfactory reason? Any responses would be much
appreciated: I don't want to have the image of an obese Hamlet in my
mind when writing character analyses!
Kindest regards
Perry Herzfeld

My worst sale month. I believe it is all about summer. We will see the result in autumn months. The DDOS attack was many months ago. I dont think it is the problem. or maybe the website is changing day by day, and because of that the website pages are too slow. I believe this will effect the result of sales. I wish you all best sales in new month my friends:)))
Is this only happening to me I am afraid of that situation. My sales are going down. I am really afraid of that so much. Now I am thinking of what to do and I couldnt look to the future so bright like before. Please do you have that problem? I just want to know that I am not alone. So then I will think this maybe the summer and envato working slowly problem and in the near future everything is going to be much better.
Yes, The same problem happened to me also. Ftp is not working. But I think it will be fixed soon. I also wonder when are they going to look at the videos which are waiting for submission since 20 days in some of my friends. I hope everything will be okay so soon.
Well I hope my friend they will fix it soon this is so serious job for all of us. I am so afraid of other bad possibilities. I am living with this money I earn from here. Please we all need answer, what is happening these days and when it will be fixed.
Is it only happening to me or anybody had the same problem. I cannot enter upload page in ftp software.
It is happening in my account too. I hope it will be fixed soon:(
I have the same problem too.
No you misunderstand. Ftp is not a problem. The Problem is when submitting the videos.
When the upload is nearly 1GB, then after submit failure, reupload it again again and again, it really kills your desire.
I tried to upload my video, I clicked to the button send to the reviewer. I waited for a long while and then it says something went wrong, please resubmit again. But When after I clicked resubmit button. It deleted all my main file, preview video and preview thumb and preview image. The I started to upload again. And again it happens and I am experiencing this so much. Is this happening to everyone? I am spending lots of time to upload because of turkey Upload speed limit and this problem makes me so sad and I lost lots of time on adding videos. Please help. I certainly know that this is a bug, a system failure. Please envato, check this problem and I am sure the other Author friends will agree with that situation .

Here is this week's addition of random miscellany that I at least find interesting. Hopefully you like my list. If you don't well then start your own blog
1. The day the Twinkie died. Hostess declared it is going out of business.
I haven't had one of these for 11-12 years, but it was still fun watching the meme progress yesterday.
2. Who is the most popular contenders to be Antichrist?
I've thought this before, but the thought that people spend way, way too much time thinking about end-times stuff was reinforced yesterday after reading this. I didn't realize we had a ranking system.
3. How then should we advocate?
My friend Eric is a lobbyist here in Des Moines, and he has a great post on his blog about how Christians should go about grassroots lobbying at their state capitol building (and elsewhere).
4. The next novel I'm reading. The Last Man by Vince Flynn.
5. Sex Is cheap, but we're not.
From Collin Hansen
We knew Redeemer Community Church meets in a tough neighborhood. In fact, that's why we're here. So the sting itself didn't catch our attention. But you could hear the gasps in the congregation when Joel told us the going rate for a prostitute in our neighborhood. Sex is cheap in Birmingham. You can get pretty much whatever you want for between $5 and $15. Our neighbors are selling their bodies for less than they could earn a couple blocks away working at McDonalds. Lord have mercy.
6. What Marriage Is.
A good summary by Ryan Anderson as to why we should not change the legal definition of marriage.
Our marriage law should reflect the truth about what marriage is: a pre-political institution springing from human nature itself. Government should not redefine or recreate marriage, nor should it obscure the truth about what marriage is. Recognizing same-sex relationships as marriages would weaken marriage as a social institution. It would redefine marriage as essentially an emotional bond, thus rendering marital norms arbitrary and less intelligible. It would further delink childbearing from marriage and deny, as a matter of law, the importance of a mother or a father in a child's life. The outcomes associated with such absence are far from promising.

7. Textual Criticism in a nutshell
Michael Patton discusses answers questions his readers have had about textual criticism. An excerpt:
Textual criticism is the art and science of reconstructing the original text of the Scripture. A "text critic" is one who examines the available evidence and makes important decisions as to how the Bible we hold two thousand years later should read. There are not many text critics who are trained and skilled enough to make these type of decisions. It is both time consuming and expensive to devote yourself to this field. One has to be highly trained in the language in which he or she is working, they have to devote much time to tedious examination of ancient texts, and they have to travel—a lot! This all gets expensive.
8. Common Core State Standards explained.
I work with American Principles Project and one of the issues we tackle is the Common Core State Standards. One of my colleagues, Jane Robbins, did a five part series on the subject. I've embedded the first one here, but you can watch the rest here. It's been an issue I've been passionate about, and Jane does a great job explaining why I'm against it.
9. Are people reading your email?
Yes, the CIA, FBI, NSA and other three letter acronym agencies monitor online activity, including reading email. Here is a good explanation of how they do it.
10. How your church can grow in evangelism.
