7. Animate Products of Biotechnology
Animate products of biotechnology (living organisms) are dealt with under a separate part of CEPA 1999, which mirrors the new substances requirements but with some differences to account for the special characteristics of living organisms. Important differences from the way chemicals and polymers are handled as new substances include recognition that:
- quantity thresholds or limitations used for chemicals and polymers are not relevant for notification of new organisms because organisms are capable of reproduction; and
- special regulation-making powers allow for implementing international agreements and respecting the safe and effective use of living organisms in pollution prevention.
Notification and assessment of new animate products of biotechnology. If the notification and assessment requirements are met by another federal Act, then the CEPA 1999 requirements do not apply. This means that CEPA 1999 in effect acts as a "safety net"--unless new substances fall under other Acts that are specifically listed in Schedule 4 regarding animate products of biotechnology, CEPA 1999 requirements will apply to all new animate products of biotechnology. Federal Acts and regulations currently listed on Schedule 4 are the Pest Control Products Act, the Fertilizers Act, the Feeds Act, the Seeds Act and the Health of Animals Act, as well as the Regulations under those Acts.
There are currently 35 living organisms listed on the Domestic Substances List.

Benzion Fuchs, Simcha Weissbuch
In the fall of 2002, at the annual Holocaust commemoration at Mesoah - Tel-Yitzhak, while talking with Mimi Artzy and her late husband Yitzhak-Itziu (the then Mesoah Chairman), they remarked how sad it is that the once prominent Suceava (Shotz) Jewish community is the only one left without a written document to preserve from extinction the memory of its people and tradition. It dawned on me how true this was and how soon it might be too late to fill this gap. After a week of reflection, I took up with my friends Simcha Weissbuch (scholar and author of books of his own) and Yehuda Tennenhaus (the most authoritative source on Shotz around) the issue its urgency and feasibility to write and indeed publish a book, recording and reporting on what actually happened to the community we grew out of and that now is long extinct. We were fully aware of the lateness of this endeavour, our parents and the elders of the community not being with us anymore, to guide and advise us and much of the evidence gone or difficult to retrieve.
Convinced - even if apprehensive - of the significance of our decision, we called for a meeting of former 'Shotzer', on 17.12.2002 in Haifa and there we unrolled before the roughly 60 participants our plans and goal, which met with unanimous enthusiasm. The Association of former Shotz residents was thus formed: Menachem Fischler, Mordechai Gross, Israel Huebner and Meir Kostiner joined us in the directing committee, whence the Editorial Board emerged, as indicated on the title page. I should state, without undue immodesty but with pride and deep satisfaction, that we have given this project priority in our activities at the best of our abilities, our strength and our resources, to bring it to its successful end. With no less gratification do we cite the cooperation and dedication of many within and outside the Association who helped in so many ways. On a more personal note, my heartfelt thanks are due to Tamar, Neora and Eden for their encouragement, involvement and help during all this arduous period. That is how, after less than four 'long' years, the final goal, this Book, was achieved.
As to the contents of the Book and the process of writing it, the intent and underlying principles were: to retrieve and comprise as much as possible of the past and recent history of Shotz and of those who made it what it was, to stick to the truth, to preserve the memory of those who perished in or in the wake of the Holocaust and of those who died while defending the new/old homeland and, with no less fervour, to tally up and praise the survivors for having made it, building new lives, careers and homes, here or abroad. As it turned out, all those are a source of pride and honour to the community they stem from and that is why we gave up the initial definition/title of a Memorial Book in favour of The Book of the Jews from Suceava (Shotz) ... To be sure, we were all conscious of the seriousness of the undertaking and carried it out with utmost care and sensitivity, especially in the memorial chapters. We are anxious and apologise for any possible errors and include an Erratum page at the end of the first volume for the readers to use.
Admittedly, we deliberately emphasize the name Shotz: we had lived in Suceava (Suczawa, etc.) on the face of it, but as it turned out, we merely dwelled there, we were just guests, undesired ones and the actual home had been the Shotz community. We are now fortunate to live in our own home and to be able to tell the Shotz story, to bring 'her' back to life, even if for one little while, in the sentences of this book.
Our choice of the book's format was not accidental. The first volume comprises the general chapters, results of archival searches and personal data collection, closing with the painful Yizkor chapter, on the loss of all but half of our community, children, parents and elderly. The second volume consists of just one chapter, that of the personal accounts, in my eyes the most significant in the entire book. One is well aware of the skepticism autobiographical memoirs are read with, due to the subjective filters authors are bound to use in telling their story, especially after so many years. Here, however, the accounts are both fascinating and moving, short or long stories, each one unique in its own way but, most importantly, making possible to compare and verify facts and events and to extract the true picture and conclusions. A last remark on the Book's covers: after prolonged contact with Shotzer old and new friends living abroad, we concluded that in absence of a full translation the Hebrew main/right cover will be matched by an English left cover, followed by the entire opening chapter in English translation. We trust that each and all of you will find in the book his/her past or that of the ancestors, or at least a pointer where to look for it.
We do hope that the Book will hold the attention of many generations to come. Enjoy reading it.
Jews from Russia, Hungary and Galizia (Galicja) arrived in Suceava (Suczawa) as early as the 15th century and on. They settled there and lived in relative harmony with the other minorities in the region (Bucovina).
In time and as their number kept growing, Jewish communities sprang up and developed dynamic religious, social and economic activities. In the 20th century, the Suceava Jewish community became one of the prominent communities in the region in terms of size, liveliness and cultural influence. It produced or hosted eminent Rabbis and scholars in ten synagogues, a Talmud-Torah and Kindergarten, Jewish social (WIZO, OSE, Hadassah, etc.) and Zionist organizations (Beitar, Hanoar Hazioni, Mizrachi, etc.) as well as secular intellectuals and politicians.
Some of the local Jews were strictly religious but most adhered to tradition, including 'kashrut', observing the Sabbath and religious feasts, awarding Jewish education to the children, including Hebrew. There was even a small but steady trickle of emigrants to Palestine between the two worldwars.
Before WWII and with the arrival of antisemitic regimes in Romania, however, the situation of the Jews deteriorated, from malicious imposition, through persecution, to murder and pogroms, culminating in the deportation of the Jews (of Bucovina) to Transnistria. The survivors returned and, while trying to rehabilitate their lives, forgetting the offense and suffering was too much for them and the majority decided to leave, in large part to the newly established homeland, Israel.
The new chosen road was rough and the life in the new country was not easy, either. In the first period, the Romanians were utterly uncooperative in letting people out and the British mandatory forces were painfully unwilling to let people in. But slowly, Suceava finally got rid of its Jews (except a few, partly from outside), and Shotz and surroundings' once proud and vital Jewish communities were largely gone.
This Book's main purpose is to preserve at least their memory for the benefit of future generations, to be a written monument to the dead and a document on the real meaning of Diaspora for those who didn't experience it.
Remembering the past and facing a better future, let us pray that our offsprings should live in peace, freedom and security in our land, as written: וישבתם לבטח בארצכם (ויקרא כ"ו, ה')
A sincere salute to all members of our Association, whose accounts shed light on the past of Shotz and surrounding communities, for generations to come.
Norman Manea
During my tense return to Romania in 1997, following a period when a part of the Romanian press fancied me as some sort of Hooligan non grata, the day I spent in Suceava, far from the country's cultural elite, was revitalizing. Vivid, even if melancholic memories; the town was clean and serene, in visible contrast to the dirty and chaotic Bucharest and the people still kept up some old style, vague habsburgian allure. The kitsch concoction of byzantine suburbanism and cheap American advertising had not yet pervaded sweet Bucovina.
The high-school building was still there and the same. So was the old Jewish cemetery on the hill of the Pãdurice, only that it had an additional resident, carrying with her my entire past. There, at my mother's grave, the irreversible ages resurrected her, the non-returning one. I became thus too, one of those who return to far and past places, as some sort of 'pilgrim of the impossible return'.
The outcome of this experience has since been made available in a book, which stimulates, as I realized, pilgrimages of a second kind. This year, almost a decade after that journey into the past, I received from the Spanish translator of the The Hooligan's Return a few photos he took in Suceava, at my mother's grave. He wanted to see himself the site portrayed in the book. And he was not the only one, as I found out.
When Gertrude Stein, the self-exiled American writer, wrote in Paris decades ago -about the difference between 'entity' and 'identity', she may have not suspected how compelling the 'identity' emblem would become in our days. Some sort of magic key to too many contemporary issues, but also and ever so often, the battle flag for those who believe that discovering their identity means, in fact, achieving their internal coherence and balance and enabling them to shape anew their past, present and future.
'Identity' is what ties us to fellow people, to our social group, to the community: when talking about a man, medical doctor, afro-american, basket-ball fan, diabetic, family head, and car owner, we inevitably ascribe him to the respective category of American citizens, men, diabetics, etc., groups having one or more of these features.
'Entity' is what stays with us when we remain alone in a room. Sheer solitude, individuality. Reminiscences from the formative period in our family and society, more or less unchanged residues of that 'identity' define us globally, ignoring discrepancies, character or even destiny.
This book written in several languages, published in Israel illustrates in its way what the expatriated Gertrude Stein affirmed once in Paris, her adopted homeland. The authors of the book are Jews who became Israelis, Canadians, Americans, etc. who lived once in a town in Bucovina, in north-eastern Romania: Suceava. They were identified as such, as were their parents, grand-parents or even grand-grand-parents: some from Austro-Hungarian times in which Jewish life prospered and flourished, others from the gloomy period between WWI and WWII, with its demeaning intimidations by the legionari or the Antonescu regime, culminating in pogroms and the Transnistria deportation, others from the too short after-war period of home coming with its hollow illusions, others from the following decades of communist dictatorship. The ID of each and all of the authors, a cosmopolitan mélange of contrasts with one particular unifying biographical - 'shotzer' quality. Merry or sad memories, joy and suffering binds them to the place they left, most of them willingly, some forced by circumstances, memories they carried along and became testimonies for this book..
This impulse of biographic retrieval perpetuates the moment into History. The personal stories of these former Suceava residents are part of the history of the town and the country it belongs to, but also, in a less canonic way, of the country they immigrated to.
To be sure, the place here remembered does not exist as such any more, or possibly not at all! Times have changed, the entire epoch has. Yet their memory is upheld in these pages for their potential readers, for present and future generations.
In the summer of this year, on the occasion of a borderline birthday, I received from the husband of a past Suceava sweetheart, living now in London, an account of their journey to visit her relatives in Burdujeni. This is my own birthplace, of too many years ago, then a shtetl full of vivacity and dreams, now a mere suburb of the city of Suceava. I'm taking you to a place that no longer exists had said his Romanian wife.
The Brit was delighted by the local food and drinks, the colourful pastoral life of the locals, easygoing and passionate at a time, by the domestic pleasures and pious recesses of the picturesque inhabitants. His account ends as following:
Returning to London Stansted airport, T. (the wife) presented her British passport to the rather young lady at the immigration desk.The passport lists place but not country of birth. After studying the document for fractionally longer than the ten seconds that is the norm, the lady looked up, smiled, and asked: Şi mai ştiţi limba română? So it carries resonance and identity, that single word 'Burdujeni'. Not bad, you may think, for a place that no longer exists.
In the memory of the young airport official of Romanian descent, however, the place existed, as it does in the memory of the authors of this book.
Let us hope that it will also come alive for the readers of this book.

A portrait of Dr Paul Gachet, definitely by Van Gogh. Photograph: Corbis
I simply don't believe today's story that a painting by Vincent van Gogh has turned up in a bank vault in Athens. Of course, it may yet prove to be an authentic version of Van Gogh's portrait of his doctor, but what a fishy find!
The painting's supposed story is such a cocktail of all-too-convenient details, echoes of other recent art stories that ended up with people making a lot of money and a damning mistake by a possible forger that it stinks like week-old calamari. This raises a question about art cons - the painting is being examined by "art experts", but should the opinion of literary critics or novelists also be consulted? They would surely be good at spotting bad fiction.
Forgery is not only the physical replication of an object. It also involves making up a good story about that object - faking its "provenance", in art historians' lingo. It's the wildly exciting nature of this painting's purported provenance that sounds too good to be true. Apparently the Nazis took it from a Jewish family, dispatched it to Athens for an exhibition, only for it to be seized in a daring partisan raid on a train. The partisan hero who grabbed it kept it hidden away. Now his daughter has brought the painting and its tale to light. Sounds like a novel.
Art works seized by the Nazis, returned eventually to the heirs of their rightful Jewish owners and then sold for big money have been in the news recently. Throwing in that detail is therefore one of the reasons I find the story so corny. As for the bold resistance fighter finding it on a Nazi train ... isn't that a scene from an old Frank Sinatra war film?
And even if that story were to be proved true, the fact that it's a portrait of Dr Paul Gachet, the medical man in whose charge Van Gogh spent the last months of his life, is in itself worrying. Gachet was a peculiar character, an art-loving friend of the impressionists who turned out to be a poor protector of Van Gogh's interests. There have been rumours that Gachet himself was involved in faking his deceased patient's work.
But the flakiest thing about the story is the discovery, along with the painting, of a notebook containing supposed Van Gogh sketches. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has already discredited this and that is surely a damning insight into the painting's (in)authenticity. Why would a real painting be found in a bank vault together with fake sketches? How would the real and the fictive become conjoined in this way? The hypothesis of a fake painting is more likely.
Perhaps I'm wrong and the painting will be proved real. But if I'm right, don't be surprised if it is sold through some minor auction house to a naive buyer eager to join today's insanely excited art market. Of course, if it is real, its Jewish owner should be identified and the rightful heirs sought - for the current owner has no right to sell a piece of Nazi war loot.

"Wondering, wondering, who's kissing you..."
Words fail me when it comes to explaining how truly great Webb Pierce was, both as a musician and a character. I love that photo, with the Cadillac encrusted with silver dollars.
Someone once told me that when bus tours would go around to look at country stars' homes, Webb would actually invite the tourists into his backyard to let people look at his guitar-shaped pool (the first of its kind, in Nashville anyway). Needless to say, it didn't endear him to his neighbours much.
Webb played a major part in modernizing country music in the '50s but just try and find his music in a record store these days. I lucked into a used copy of his Bear Family box set, and it's one of my favourite music purchases of the past decade. When he was in his prime, before the bottle got the best of him, he could do no wrong.

I understand that Chet and Webb were good friends, although the fact they were on different labels (Chet at RCA and Webb as part of the Owen Bradley contingent at Decca) meant you don't see many pictures of them together. Charlie Pride told me that when Red Sovine encouraged him to go to Nashville, he sent him to his publisher, who was also Webb's publisher, and Webb got Charlie in to see Chet Atkins, and Chet signed him on the spot (more or less...there was a contract waiting in the mailbox when Charlie got back home to Montana, where he was working in a steel plant).

Conference Call for Secular Students in Interfaith
Since 2010, the Secular Student Alliance has been working with the Interfaith Youth Core to help secular students become involved in interfaith programs. We feel that there are many benefits to secular student involvement in interfaith, and IFYC has been working hard to ensure that their programs are friendly and welcoming to secular students.
SSA and IFYC will be hosting a joint conference call on Wednesday, November 14th at 5:30pm (Eastern) to discuss why and how secular students can be involved in interfaith efforts on campus. SSA's Director of Campus Organizing Lyz Liddell, Faithiest author Chris Stedman, and IFYC staff will host the discussion and answer any questions you have.
If you're interested in interfaith programs but are not sure how to get involved, or love working in interfaith settings and want to share your experiences with others, join the call!

Apr 24, 2014 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterOil and gas settlement checks for Northern Arapaho tribal members began arriving in Fremont County this week. One immediate effect was an uptick in trade at local businesses.
Those spending money from their checks were excited for their purchases.
Amelia Shakespeare was at Mark's Auto Sales on Federal Boulevard on Wednesday afternoon to pay off her car, she said.
"With what I have left, I'm going to fix my car up, new tires, air conditioning, get it tuned up," she said through a grin.
The used car lot had been busy since 9 a.m., Mark Miller said. Normally a mechanic and tow truck operator, Miller was helping with sales that day.
He estimated the business had sold about 50 vehicles by mid-afternoon. Many cars were still left on the lot, but about half were marked "sold" already, and gaps between vehicles showed where others had stood earlier that day.
"The lot was pretty full when we started," Miller said.
Northern Arapaho Tribe members were expected to receive about $6,300 apiece. Eastern Shoshone Tribe members out and about Wednesday said they expected their checks to be larger and to arrive next week. The estimated payout for Shoshones is $13,000 apiece.
The money comes from a lawsuit between the two tribes and the U.S. Government originally filed in 1979.
The lawsuit alleged some leases for oil and gas on the Wind River Indian Reservation were unlawfully converted from status under the Act of Aug. 21, 1916 to status under the Indian Mineral Leasing Act. As a result, the tribes were not able to collect as much in royalties or to obtain as favorable lease-renewal terms as they could have.
Business was also brisk at Hammer Electronics further north on Federal.
"For this time of year, it's been quite a bit busier than normal," marketing director Russ Harper said.
The store had a full staff working on Wednesday to accommodate the increase in trade. Products from across the store were popular, Harper said.
All of the stories cell-phone sales kiosks but one were busy at about 3:30 p.m., and other clerks checked out customers buying televisions and other electronics at other counters.
Increased law enforcement presences was obvious around the city on Wednesday and Thursday. Local officials expressed concern about the sudden influx of money, much of it taken in cash, in the community.

by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) technology was introduced in 1988 and has become the most popular tool for measuring bone density.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that all women over age 65, and post-menopausal women with at least one risk factor for osteoporosis, undergo a bone density test, which is usually a DEXA. Results from bone density tests are used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis.
DEXA measures the bone mineral content (BMC) of the spine, hip, wrist, femur, or any other selected part of the skeleton. It does this by focusing an x-ray on a body site and measuring the proportion of light rays that pass through the tissue as opposed to being blocked by minerals in the bone. Using computer software, it then divides that number by the surface area of the bone being measured to create bone mineral density (BMD).
Bone density test results
After the bone density scan, a picture is printed out that shows where the patient's BMD falls compared to the norm. The "norm" refers to the accepted standard peak bone mass (PMB) set by a selected reference group of young adults. There are no international standards of PMB because bone density varies so dramatically according to race and region.
Women are given a diagnosis of osteopenia if their T-score (see below) bone density deviates 1.0-2.4 points (standard deviations) below the norm (although we've seen patients who were put on Fosamax at just 1.3). Anywhere below 2.5 standard deviations is diagnosed as osteoporosis.
When you are measured against the younger reference group, it is called a T-score. When you are measured against the average BMD for your age, sex, weight and ethnic or racial origin, it is called a Z-score. Everyone loses bone density as they age, so someone with a normal Z-score might deviate significantly from the T-score. However, T-scores are the gold standard for traditional diagnosis. This means that eventually all women's T-scores will deviate from the norm, and women with natural bone loss might appear to be suffering from a diagnosable disease. No wonder there's an osteoporosis epidemic!
Limitations of bone density tests
Errors in DEXA measurement can be 8–10% depending on the machine — that's almost one standard deviation! This means that you might have normal bone density by one machine, and osteopenia by another. It also means that measurements of change in bone density over time are only completely accurate if all your tests are done with the same machine.
Another problem with bone density tests is that the range of healthy bone is much greater than this test would lead women to believe. What's "low" for one woman may be just fine for another, depending on the thickness of her bones, her ancestry, her peak bone mass from when she was in her 20's, and other variables.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is said to be interested in buying an Italian television channel in a move that could lead to a face-off with his former business rival, Silvio Berlusconi.
The Italian news agency ANSA said Mr Murdoch's News Corp media empire had expressed an interest in buying the La7 channel from owners Telecom Italia Media.
Mr Berlusconi's Mediaset company, which already owns three national television channels in Italy, has also signalled it is looking into a possible purchase of the channel, which has a strong reputation for editorial independence.
Mediaset's interest has prompted criticism from critics of Italy's former prime minister, who say it would further concentrate his considerable media power.
La7's news broadcasts are led by a former Mediaset anchor, Enrico Mentana, who has said he will resign if Mr Berlusconi's conglomerate takes over the channel.
Mr Murdoch already has a foothold in the Italian media industry through Sky Italia, which has become Italy's largest pay-television service and is one of the major bones of contention between the Australian-born tycoon and his Italian media counterparts.
The rivalry between the two veterans – Mr Murdoch is 81 and Mr Berlusconi 75 – has also been more personal.
In 2009, for instance, Mr Berlusconi accused Mr Murdoch of stirring up a sex scandal to discredit him through his newspaper The Times of London.
The deadline for non-binding offers for the La7 channel is Monday September 24.

The good guys and the ones recommended: Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by Allan Richards
Overall Member Rating
The good guys and the ones recommended
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Singapore
we were on the Millennium and it was the ship chosen to christen the new Passenger Terminal at Hong Kong's old Kai Tak runway. The terminal was still under construction and I am sure will be fantastic when completed this July.
Having sailed on the Millennium three times now we were little concerned about the bad reviews it was getting. Thank goodness our concerns were eliminated once we were on board. Great staff, food we thought was the best so far and the big production numbers in the theatre were outstanding.
The attention to detail and incredible frienliness by our main dining staff was excellent and made our evening trip to the dining room a joy. Speciality dining at the Olympic and Qsine was of excellent standard. However, as the main dining was such a high standard we will probably not choose these options in the future or go back to "Blue" with the Aqua class. The two More trainers in the Gym were exceptional and James from Australia must be the best motivator we have ever encountered on any cruise. His classes were overbooked and rightly so.
The port stops are very akward on this cruise, be prepared for delays in getting off the ship and for very long bus rides.
We chose email@example.com for our private transport for the 2 days at the Bangkok port. On time and clean and reasonably priced. Avoid the tourist floating markets.
Following others recommendations we chose email@example.com for Ho Chi Minh.
The car is at the wharf and you meet Tri Dung Nguyen in the city at the Rex over a delicious iced coffe. He is without a doubt one of the best guides we have ever had.He provides you with a disk of over 100 photos of you over the day and then provides a portfolio of information on Vietnam to your web address.
Finally we chose Ha Vietland Discovery - email@example.com for our days in Hoian and Hanoi and Halong Bay.Signs are held with your name at each port. You are whisked away before the big groups thereby avoiding the queues. Be warned the trips are long but what the heck if you want to see these cities just have a little shut eye on the trips.The rest stops are very very clean.
The temporary arrangements at Hong Kong port were conducted with precision and need tobe congratulated.
Overall we had a great South East Asia experience. Less

The methylarginines,
Free ADMA, SDMA, and NMMA are supposed to be produced in the human body through the methylation of protein arginine residues by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT) and released during proteolysis of the methylated proteins [
Notably, we recently showed that these three methylarginines, in addition to being produced endogenously, can also be taken daily in conspicuous amounts through the diet [
Homoarginine (HArg) interferes with the regular NO production as it competes with arginine for the NO synthesis although it is a less efficient NOS substrate than arginine [
The development of rapid and feasible methods for the combined determination of Arg and its metabolites and analogs is still challenging as it might have an impact on NO metabolic studies. Actually, several methods for the determination of Arg and related metabolites in biological fluids, usually associated with numerous difficulties due to the extraction and derivatization steps, are available [
Taking into account the emerging role of HArg as a risk factor in CVD, there is increasing interest in measuring HArg levels in human subjects and cell culture. Here, we report a novel and feasible application of the HPLC-ESI-mass spectrometry detection using the Supelcosil™ LC-Si column which allows an accurate and combined determination of NMMA, SDMA, ADMA, Arg, and HArg in biological fluids such as plasma and urine.
The chromatography was performed with a short silica column (Supelcosil™ LC-Si 3.3 cm × 4.6 mm i.d., 3 μm particle size), employing isocratic elution conditions. This procedure, proven to be suitable for polar substance analysis with ESI-MS/MS detection (
The chromatographic separation of Arg, HArg, NMMA, SDMA, and ADMA is shown in
Perhaps the most important feature of the reported chromatographic analyses is the noticeable dependence on the content of ammonium formate in the elution solvent of the retention times and, hence, of the resolution of those substances. In fact, when the chromatography is performed utilizing an eluent of 0.1% solution of formic acid in water (Sol. A), SDMA and ADMA elute at high retention times (above 60 min) as very broad peaks. Instead, the effect of ammonium formate addition to the eluent is clearly shown by the comparison of the two panels shown in
In panel A, which reports the elution pattern of the chromatography performed utilizing 10% of Sol. B and 90% Sol. A, an almost complete resolution among Arg, HArg and NMMA can be observed. In contrast, in panel B, which reports the chromatography performed utilizing an eluent composition of 20% Sol. B and 80% Sol. A, the peaks of HArg and NMMA are more poorly resolved. It is important to note that the MS/MS fragmentation pattern of NMMA and HArg are almost identical. Indeed, it is possible to quantify by MS/MS mass spectrometry NMMA also in the presence of HArg as NMMA shows an intense fragment at
When determining the levels of Arg and its metabolites in samples of plasma from human healthy volunteers (
Plasma and urine samples were obtained from human healthy subjects. An aliquot (100 μL) was deproteinized by adding 300 μL of pure methanol. Samples were mixed for 10 s, stored at −20 °C for 1 h, and then centrifuged at 10,000 ×
The HPLC-ESI-MS analyses were performed with some modification to the previously described method [
Attractive features of the HPLC–ESI-MS/MS method described here for the determination of Arg, HArg, NMMA, ADMA, and SDMA in biological samples are: (i) the minimal sample preparation without the need of derivatization; (ii) the modulation of the analysis time by suitably modifying the content of ammonium formate in the eluent and, most of all; (iii) the feasibility which offers the opportunity to modulate, depending on the specific experimental requirements, the chromatographic separation between HArg and NMMA (or between SDMA and ADMA).
Chromatographic separation of Arg, HArg, NMMA, SDMA, ADMA with full-scan detection. (

Joe Biden Vs. Paul Ryan: Hollywood Reacts to Vice Presidential Debate (VIDEO)
Following a fairly tame first presidential debate last week, the VP candidates faced off in a fiery 90-minute televised showdown — moderated by ABC News' Martha Raddatz — in Danville, KY. As the two men threw political punches — advocating for their ticket's policy points on everything from taxes and healthcare to the economy and the hot-button issue of abortion — Tinseltown followed the sparring on Twitter, chiming in with commendations, criticism and, of course, comedic commentary.
So what were the stars saying about the vice presidential war of words?
Vice President Biden garnered praise — and some skepticism — for his forceful debate style. The left-leaning Hollywood crowd — like Joy Behar, Eva Longoria, Samuel L. Jackson — tweeted accolades for President Barack Obama's right-hand man. And while Romney's running mate was bashed and mocked by many, some celebrities called the debate a draw in the end.
And of course, like many past political events, the VP debate spawned witty web memes, parody Twitter accounts — like @LyinRyan2012 — and clever musical mash-ups.
Gayle King: Hey is @MarthaRaddatz running for anything?!! She was terrific running debate. So Tired but debate worth staying up late on a school nite
Bette Midler: Joe, you're killin' me!!!!! @saturdaynightlive is going to have a field day!
Joy Behar: Biden is better than Viagra for senior citizens #vpdebate
Eric Stonestreet: Joe's laughing and smirking is probably going over as well with republicans as Paul's hairline is with democrats. #debates
Keri Hilson: Get em, BIDEN!!!!!!
Solange Knowles: "Facts matter" Joe Biden #TRUE
Rob Delaney: Ryan can look at things through the eyes of the Ayatollahs quite well!
Bethenny Frankel: I can't watch this debate without thinking about these two candidates being mocked on SNL this Saturday.
Russell Simmons: Paul Ryan has declared a WAR against women.
Caroline Manzo: I feel like I'm watching a real housewife reunion as I watch the debate.
Lisa Ling: Good and feisty debate. Both represented their sides well.
Michael Ian Black: You could plant carrots in the deep crevices on Paul Ryan's forehead.
Rainn Wilson: Biden and Ryan just need to snuggle together with matching robes & play Fairway Solitaire & giggle like school girls.
Questo of The Roots: Sting! (Ill give Ryan that sting lol)
Eva Longoria: Finally the truth comes out and Ryan is called on his BS!! Go Joe Biden! #ObamaBiden2012
Chris Rock: Joe Biden is hitting in one answer all the things Pres Obama left out in the entire first 90 minute debate. #vpdebates #bealeader
Sarah Hyland: Paul Ryan's pin is bigger than Biden's.#debates #fact.
Jay Manuel: Okaaaay! Biden is cleaning up!!
Aziz Ansari: Has anyone brought up what the candidates would do re: Abu Nazir?
Kirstie Alley: liking this debate!!!….. ruff!!!!!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Go Biden, go!!
Andy Cohen: This poor kid debating Biden!!! His flag pin is shiny though!
Sandra Bernhard: women are you rallied yet? do you need anything more than #paulryan and his religious dogma and control of our #reproductiverights
Mia Farrow: Biden kicked ass Ryan twerp I love you Martha Raddatz
Omar Epps: Ryan got owned by Biden tonight..
Alyssa Milano: @MarthaRaddatz You're wonderful.
Mark Ruffalo: #Biden and Ryan seperation between church and state is the very basis in the founding of our country and enshrined in our constition
Meghan McCain: This debate is blood sport. Crossfire style. Don't know how this will change swing voters minds….enjoying Martha though.
Bryan Greenberg: Next debate can Biden sit in for Obama?
Samuel L. Jackson: Can you really see Ryan kicking it w/ a Native American? Anywhere?!!
Molly Ringwald: Thank you Biden. I'm feeling better now.
Eva Longoria: Every channel declaring a Biden victory! Biden def delivered the facts tonight and held Ryan accountable for the lies! #TeamJoe
Arsenio Hall: I think Ryan just quickly sipped some Ciroc.
Mia Farrow: Biden kicked ass Ryan twerp I love you Martha Raddatz'. Word.
Donald Trump: Credibility is important to me- hence must admit that both candidates did really well last night.
No changes are to be made to this player

(CNSNews.com) - As the Senate reconvened on Thursday, taking a rare break from its August recess to pass a $600-million bill to fund border security provisions that had passed in a specially-reconvened-session of the House on Tuesday, new numbers from the Gallup Poll showed that only 29 percent of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling the immigration issue.
Obama is planning to sign the border-security bill on Friday.
Only 46 percent of Americans say they approve of the way Obama is handling the overall job of the presidency compared to 47 percent who say they disapprove, according to the most recent Gallup tracking numbers. Yet that is far better than the president is doing when it comes to immigration.
Sixty-two percent of Americans say they disapprove of the way Obama is handling immigration, and only 29 percent say they approve. That is the lowest approval rating Obama received for any of the 13 issues included in the Gallup poll.
Gallup combined the results of two recent surveys—a survey of 1,208 adults conducted July 27-Aug. 1 for the USA Today/Gallup poll and a survey of 1,013 adults conducted seperately Aug. 5-8--to determine how Americans view President Obama's performance on 13 different issues. The results showed there is only one issue that a majority of Americans believe the president is handling well: race relations.
Fifty-two percent said they approve of the way Obama is handing race relations and 38 percent said they disapprove.
When it comes to education (49 percent), terrorism (48 percent), energy policy (47 percent), foreign affairs (44 percent), the environment (43 percent), the situation in Iraq (41 percent), taxes (41 percent), healthcare policy (40 percent), the economy (38 percent), the situation in Afghanistan (36 percent), the federal budget deficit (31 percent) and immigration (29 percent), less than a majority say the approve of the way Obama is handling the issue.
A majority say they disapprove of the way Obama is handling eight of the 13 issues. These include the federal budget deficit (64 percent), immigration (62 percent), the economy (59 percent), healthcare policy (57 percent), the situation in Afghanistan (57 percent), taxes (54 percent), the situation in Iraq (53 percent) and the environment (51 percent).
Last month, President Obama's Justice Department sued the state of Arizona for enacting a law that directed local law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of any person they had lawfully stopped for another offense and for whom there was a reasonable basis to suspect they were illegally in the United States.
The bill Obama is planning to sign tomorrow will fund two new drone aircraft for border surveillance, 1,000 new Border Patrol agents, and 500 new Customs agents and officers.

Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Smarty Jones will return to Philadelphia Park in the next few days, where he will prepare for the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), the second leg of the Triple Crown, assuming he came out of the Derby in top shape."He cleaned up his feed tub last night," trainer John Servis said Monday morning, "which is the first good sign. We still haven't been able to get this horse tired, and as long as he's not tired from this race, he'll go on to the Preakness. If he shows us that he is tired from the effort, then he won't run in the Preakness."Servis said if Smarty Jones does go to the Preakness, he's not sure when he'll ship the son of Elusive Quality to Baltimore.Smarty Jones could face four of the top five finishers in the May 15 Preakness, which will also include some new shooters.Derby runner-up Lion Heart returned to Keeneland immediately after the Derby, and is a likely starter for the Preakness. Trainer Patrick Biancone said that if all goes well, Lion Heart would likely ship to Baltimore for the second jewel of the Visa Triple Crown during the early part of Preakness week.
"I don't know if I'll fly him next Monday or next Wednesday, I haven't decided," he said. "I will decide in the next 48 hours."
Third-place finisher Imperialism will skip the race and return to Hollywood Park where he'll freshen up and point for the Belmont Stakes (gr. I). Trainer Kristin Mulhall plans to run Snow Chief Stakes winner Cheiron in the Preakness instead. That son of Maria's Mon is co-owned by Steve Taub, who owns all of Imperialism.Derby fifth-place finisher The Cliff's Edge is also expected to go to Baltimore, with Maryland Jockey Club officials counting fourth-place finisher Limehouse as a Preakness probable."I'm not in a hurry to go to Baltimore," trainer Nick Zito said said. "They do well here and if 'Cliff' looks like he's doing well, we'll go on to the Preakness. As for Birdstone, I know Marylou very well and I think she'll give him time. Two weeks would be tough to come back with him, but he would be a possible maybe for the Belmont. He ran big." Also likely are Rock Hard Ten and Eddington, who did not have enough graded earnings to earn a spot in the Derby, and local hero Water Cannon. Kristin Mulhall, who saddled Imperialism to a third place finish yesterday, is expected to run Cheiron, the winner of last week's Snow Chief Stakes at Hollywood Park.In the last 50 years only six new shooters have won the Preakness: Greek Money (1962), Bee Bee Bee (1972), Aloma's Ruler (1982), Deputed Testamony(1983) and Red Bullet (2000). The most famous non-Derby starter to win the Preakness was Man o' War in 1920.The Preakness is limited to 14 starters but there has not been a full field since 1992. However in 12 of the last 13 years there have been double digit starters.

Work Integrated Learning: Will it Work for Spatial Science Wilers?
Webb, Robert M. & Hayes, John F. (2008) Work Integrated Learning: Will it Work for Spatial Science Wilers? In McDougall, Kevin (Ed.) Queensland Spatial Conference 2008 : Global Warning: What's Happening In Paradise?, 17-19 July 2008, Gold Coast, Qld, Australia.
|PDF (151kB)
University courses often describe an intention to produce graduate students who are work ready and who have had 'hands-on' industry experience. Work Integrated Learning programmes (in various forms) in university courses are not new. Traditionally, some form of practical based learning has been expected in vocationally oriented degrees that lead to professional accreditation and are generally regarded as a good learning exposure. There is little doubt that students acquire the skills of their discipline profession by being immersed in the industry culture; learning how to process information and solve real-world problems within context, as well as working and communicating with technical and non-technical colleagues.
With the restructure of academic programs across the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering in 2006, spatial science and surveying students now undertake a formal work integrated learning unit. This paper provides an overview of this new units operation and implementation into the spatial science program at QUT. Some findings are presented of the student perceptions of aspects of their work experiences along with comment on how students are formally evaluated on their performance and the importance of the significant contribution from industry partners.

Fosterclub's Spirit, Drive and Determation is what makes the Hope of youth keep going. their an excellent tool needed for youth,alumni,and professionals.
There is absolutely nothing bad to say about fosterclub!!! Not only does there website provide conection for foster youth all over the country its staff provides hope and knowledge of a better futur for youth in foster care!! This summer fosterclub came to Arkansas and helped our Youth Advisory Board put together the most amazing conference! Our conference was the first youth conference put together by youth and actually led by youth. Fosterclub led 2 workshops....foster-to-famoous.....fosterclub.com intro. They truly were a key factor in the success of our conference. Fosterclub taught me how to be a true leader. They provided training for myself and my fellow board members. And gave amazing suggestions. Life for youth in foster care has a positive future thanks to fosterclub. Their slogan "Built for Youth....Powered by Youth...Changing life for Youth in Foster Care" tells it all!!! Fosterclubs allstars are awsome, positive, and always willing to help! I say they diserve to win!!
My niece was is an all star this year. This organization is doing fabulous work with and for kids in care. I am so impressed with my nieces experience and how devoted she is to this improtant cause.
I was an all-star in 2009, and working with FosterClub has opened so many doors for me. Everyone who works at fosterclub is invested heart and soul in the system. Many times when I was in foster care I felt people only cared about me because they were paid to do so. With FosterClub, I never felt that way. Their staff are so conscious of the needs of youth like myself, and help shape us into becoming the kind of adults we wished for as kids. They are amazing and are helping make visible changes within the system.
I was an All-Star in 2005 and continue to volunteer with this organization from time to time. The skills and experiences I have acquired have been invaluable. From my internship experiences in 2005 and 2008, I developed skills in establishing boundaries, leading groups and workshops, and speaking. Furthermore, my experiences with FosterClub helped me find my passion for reforming child welfare policy and practice. I am currently a MSW student at Columbia University studying social policy and management. FosterClub connected me to a new community of foster care alumni. Being connected is very crucial for foster care alumni after aging out. I don't believe I would be as goal-driven and successful as I am today without FosterClub. Please endorse FosterClub in an effort to advocate for the half million children in foster care.
This is a fine organization! Our former foster daughter (who is like our daughter now), became an AllStar, and learned so much. She knows how to speak to groups, lead workshops, and understand her journey. That AllStar experience is very valuable to her, and for that we are thankful to Foster Club. The leaders of Foster Club really helped her to learn and grow.
I am proud to say that I was a FosterClub Allstar in 2005. What impresses me is the Director and her resourcefulness and creativity. What she can do with a budget is incredibly impressive. In 2005 she had 2 staff and was operating a network with more than 2,000 recipients. Celeste provided foster youth with channels of communication and a peer support network when there was none. She helped empower them by providing documents and young adults who had been through the process to help them become more active in their case and in their life. She created the majority of the documents her self initially. These documents such as the Fyi3 binders were highly acclaimed and were the general revenue for FosterClub. Celeste's ideas are constantly amazing and typically implemented successfully. She is one of my biggest inspirations and I constantly use her as a role model. The internship change my life as it enhanced many of my skills- public speaking, facilitation, endurance, work ethic, listening, traveling. It also made me much more attractive to other non-profits and my career flourished as a result. Watching FosterClub grow has been amazing and they deserve support as they have always supported young people and modeled an ideal youth friendly non-profit.
FosterClub is AMAZING! I work closely with young people and staff from FosterClub at least weekly, and I also proudly donate to FosterClub. Supporting this organization is an easy thing to do--their mission is incredibly important, their work is ALWAYS top-notch, and they are excellent stewards of their limited resources. I encourage everyone to support FosterClub. Young people in foster care need us to care for them, and to ensure we have excellent public policy and practice related to foster care. By supporting FosterClub, you are raising up the 800,000 children who live in foster care every year.
Amazing amount of advocacy from such a small organization. They may be small but are widely respected in the foster care advocacy community. Wonderful organization.
I have seen people paralyzed by anxiety to such an extent that every life circumstance to be dealt with becomes tinged by a sort of melancholic awareness of the impermanence of things. The awareness by itself is not necessarily a bad thing except when there is no symbol of hope or rather awareness of a future good. It is my opinion that Fosterclub provides an indispensable service towards this end, particularly in the form of the Fosterclub All Stars. The All Stars, and indeed Fosterclub in general, give a silent permission to others to proceed with life rather than becoming paralyzed by the stark revelations brought on by a less than good childhood. The programs offered by Fosterclub are impressive but would amount to very little were it not for the ever caring and ever patient staff of the organization whose compassion appears to me to be beyond question. I have been a recipient of the love and infectious joy of those involved with Fosterclub for sometime and I grow more impressed each time I see a presentation delivered to a group of eager foster youth or when I see a youth having fun simply playing with an All Star.

Social Circle: What's the weirdest item you've thrown on the grill?
The "Social Circle" is a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors. Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in this column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.
Burgers and brats on the grill are a summertime staple, but sometimes cook-outs get wild and other less predictable food items end up over the flame.
The Social Circle reported grilling a number of such items, from avocado to a Pop Tart. What's the most unusual item you've grilled? Weigh in via the Talkback feature.
Dan Albers: "Elk back strap!"
Matt Baran: "A frog."
Bill Bradley: "Peanut butter and jelly."
William Bunyan: "Peaches and pears."
Miles Domagalski: "Pizza."
John Ecker: "Spratchcocked chicken. Asparagus. Portobello caps. Oysters."
Michelle Hays: "This is not weird, but for the first time last summer I had grilled pineapple rings. So amazingly delicious!"
Natali Huess: "Peaches."
Larry Johnson: "Never understood eggplant on the grill. Blech!"
Jeff Jordan: "During a move, I was without a stove and I cooked bacon, eggs and toast over charcoal."

Kevin Tissot: "An onion has the right carmelization. Sugars grilled to perfection. As a youth my sisters and I baked LP records in the oven and grill to get the wave factor going."
Mike Torch: "Soft-shell crabs. My guests said it was like eating a smoky, large insect. I got out of trying through my trusty vegetarian clause."
Tim Ungrodt: "Shark fajitas."
M. Laurel Walsh: "A cabbage wedge, herbed and buttered."

First look: JBoss Drools grows up, and out
Red Hat's open source rule engine turns full-goose enterprise BRMS, and decision management suite, in Version 5.0
Solver is a constraint optimization module for solving large planning problems. Its main competitor in the open source arena is CPSolver. Planning problems are typical in such areas as supply chain management and scheduling. Solver is unique in its use of the rules engine for expressing constraints. One consequence of this is the efficiency and expressiveness in which constraints can be defined. Constraints -- both hard and soft -- are defined as rules and executed accordingly.
Optimization problems are primarily found in operational research domains, a complex and highly technical topic that can't be covered here except to say that Solver implements what is known as local search, seeking out optimal solutions by assigning variables close to a previous guess. Heuristic techniques are sometimes required to prevent the search from getting stuck on a local minimum, maximum, or plateau. Solver excels in the adding and editing of constraints, using easily understood rules, so the definition of the search domain is greatly simplified.
[ IBM/Ilog's JRules 6.5 brought rules to SOA. See the InfoWorld Test Center review. | Fair Isaac's Blaze Advisor 6.5 nabbed InfoWorld's 2008 Technology of the Year Award for Best Business Rule Management System. See the Test Center review. ]
The integration of optimization, analytics, and business rules is an interesting trend in enterprises with high transaction volumes or a high degree of customer interaction, such as retail banking or telecommunications. I've only scratched the surface of Solver; a complete discussion of its applications could be the subject of an entire article itself, but I look forward to the next few versions of this module and its further integration in the core rules engine.
Further baking required
JBoss Drools 5.0 adds a significant number of new capabilities over Version 4.0, but while the breadth of the product offering is considerably enhanced, the product suite still lacks depth in key areas required for enterprise-scale deployments.
The rule execution server is rudimentary and does not support key open standards in Web services required for SOA implementations, such as those for reliable messaging, security, or transactions. The server also lacks support for monitoring (such as JMX), scalability, or integration (such as JCA).
The story isn't much better for the workflow component. Although the idea of a unified platform for events, rules, and processes is technically elegant and appealing, it may be ahead of its time. Partly as a result of some of the advanced capabilities being trailed in this version, where no standards exist, the workflow component supports neither BPMN nor BPEL, two common standards in BPM today.
Overall, JBoss Drools 5.0 (and JBoss Enterprise BRMS) brings a number of new capabilities under the product's umbrella, but the cake isn't quite done. This may be expected for such a large, ambitious project. For the moment, organizations with strong Java capabilities and a commitment to developing and supporting their own applications will find a stable, mature rules engine from Drools 4.0, and a new BRMS with many useful new tools.
If you're currently running Drools 4.0, then 5.0 will likely work out of the box, and is a recommended upgrade. For organizations with Java skills and a willingness to roll your own integration and reliability layers, Drools provides a great platform on which to start. If that's not your organization, then IBM/Ilog's JRules and Fair Isaac's Blaze Advisor are still top choices.
JBoss Drools 5.0
|Integrated technology stack for decision-making: CEP, rules, and constraint programming under a single umbrella. Active and supportive user community. Access to core developers, bug lists, and status of code issues. Low cost of entry and potentially high ROI.
|Lacks support for key Web services standards. Lacks critical components for reliable, scalable, and secure execution of business rules in an enterprise environment.
|JBoss Drools 5.0 is available as free open source under the Apache License 2.0. JBoss Enterprise BRMS 5.0 subscriptions, which include Drools, Guvnor, Web 2.0 rule authoring interfaces for business analysts, and maintenance and support, start at $20,000 per year for a four-socket deployment.
|All Java 1.5+ platforms

This is the Choice Media #EdReformMinute for Friday, November 9th.
Bob Bowdon
Education reform was on the ballot for a number of states in this November election, and the results were a mixed bag. Charter schools won big in Georgia, and apparently by a sliver in Washington state — they're still counting the votes there.
On the other hand, Idaho voters rejected education reforms of traditional districts, like merit pay and more online learning. South Dakota voters said "no thanks" to a law that would have added merit pay and the use of student test scores as a part of a teacher evaluation.
So… a mixed bag. But of the setbacks, perhaps the one that stung the most to education reformers was the loss of Indiana's State Superintendent of Education, Dr. Tony Bennett. He has the same name as the famous singer, but this Tony Bennett helped usher in the nation's first statewide school voucher program, now in its second year. To say the voucher law has been popular would be an exercise in understatement. This year the enrollment has more than doubled to over 9,300.
Bennett also reformed what's often called social promotion. He put in place a third grade reading test that kids must pass to advance to fourth grade, rather than just being a year older. Bennett's challenger and new state superintendent-elect, Glenda Ritz, has pledged to roll back those social promotion reforms. Ritz beat Bennett, 52% to 48%.
Lindsey Brown runs the group School Choice Indiana.
"I think that opponents were really most effective at painting Dr. Bennett as being anti-teacher. Those of us that know Dr. Bennett know this not to be true. But certainly he was unapologetic in his pursuit to do what was right for Indiana kids, and of course that's what many of us loved about him."
Interestingly, the same voters who rejected Bennett, also embraced Bennett's friend Mike Pence in the Indiana governor's race. It led to instant punditry over how to interpret the seemingly schizophrenic Indiana electorate. Why would a state that elected a new Republican governor, and went for Mitt Romney in the Presidential contest, toss out its Republican education chief? Were they rejecting the education reform policies, or Dr. Tony Bennett the man?
"As was shown on election day, I don't believe that the voters were making a statement against reform. I think if that were the case you would not have seen Governor-elect Pence come out with a victory. You would not have seen House Republicans come out with a super-majority in the House."
Another possible explanation for Indiana's pro-Pence, anti-Bennett vote, might be because of Bennett's support of the Common Core Curriculum, a national education standard advocated by the Obama administration. Bennett's backing of Common Core may have alienated some of his base.
In the end, it should be noted that Indiana's new, incoming education chief, Glenda Ritz, despite her victory has not been hired for the job of unilaterally setting Indiana's education policies. She will report to a state board of education, a board that will be appointed by Bennett's friend, Governor-elect Mike Pence.

Raymond Felton was rumored to return to the New York Knicks and it has finally happened. Along with Kurt Thomas, Felton is leaving the Portland Trail Blazers, who pick up Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric in the deal.
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/FisolaNYDN/status/224334053451636737″]
Raymond Felton is now the third point guard on the Knicks roster, which makes the Jeremy Lin question all the more interesting. Will the Knicks decide to match his poison pill offer? It is a lot of money but you can make a ton back on Lin merchandise. He was quite popular when he was playing and he is a cash cow.
Felton struggled once he left NY. He has weight issues and his play was just bad. He was fine in NY for a time and the Knicks are hoping he can regain some of his former form. They need to find some sort of answer at point guard and a guy who can eat minutes. Jason Kidd can't play as much as people think he can. He is just too old.
The Knicks have certainly had an interesting offseason. This move is one of those ones that make you shake your head. They might have an eventual plan but if they match Lin, they have four point guards on the roster. That is about one too many. There might be some master plan that I do not know about, but that is unlikely. The Knicks might just want a lot of guard insurance.
Riley Schmitt is a writer for Rant Sports.

Jim Moore joined Aluminum Chamber Boats of Bellingham, Wash., as president and chief operating officer.
As former president of Renaissance Marine Group, Weldcraft and Lund Boats, Moore brings extensive knowledge and nearly 35 years industry experience to ACB. His responsibilities include overseeing the companys day-to-day operations, streamlining production processes and increasing sales across all three product lines: government, commercial and recreational.
I see this as an outstanding opportunity to build a new leader in our industry, Moore said in a statement.
ACB's former president/COO Tim Metz will focus his efforts on the companys newly emerging Composite Ballistic Armor System.
We feel the documented fuel savings of ACBs unique vessels, along with our new Chambered Inflatable Boat (CIB) line, will allow us to expand our U.S. and foreign market share even during this industry downturn, said Larry Wieber, founder and CEO, in a statement.

|Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
The Faux Ghost is a night club, specifically for the past villains that Mystery Inc. had unmasked.
Patrons include Aggie Wilkins (the Ghost of Witch McCoy), Harry the Hypnotist (Ghost Clown) and C.L. Magnus (Redbeard's Ghost). Jeremiah Wickles (Black Knight Ghost) comes here as well.
The various games that can be played at the club are all based around hurting various effigies of Mystery Inc.
Physical appearance
It is signed by a neon light, resembling the head of Charlie the Haunted Robot.
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
Shaggy and Scooby went to the Faux Ghost after finding a sticky note in Jeremiah Wickles' mansion that had the night club's name and believed it was a major clue. Upon getting to the night club and recognizing the various people that Mystery Inc. have gotten arrested in the past, Shaggy and Scooby disguised themselves as "Shizzy McCreepy" and SD McCrawley" in order to get information from Wickles and avoid the patrons' desire to get back at them.
Shaggy talked to Wickles in an attempt to find out if he's behind the Evil Masked Figure only to learn that he had nothing to do with the monsters and stolen costumes; he also revealed his own grudge against Mystery Inc. for what they did. Elsewhere, Scooby danced with Aggie Wilkins and unintentionally lost all his disguise in the process. Shaggy and Scooby were immediately exposed by the patrons, but they managed to escape via the garbage chute.
After the Evil Masked Figure (Dr. Jonathan Jacobo) was defeated and arrested, it seemed that the patrons of the Faux Ghost had forgiven Mystery Inc., as they all cheered at their victory. Everyone then went to the Faux Ghost and danced to "Shining Star".

This pagoda is situated at the original site of the Rear Palace, in the west of the city. It is a memorial to Somdet Phra Suriyothai, who was the royal consort of Phra Mahachakkaraphat and the first heroine in Thai history. When the Burmese army intruded in 1548, Somdet Phra Suriyothai, clad in a warrior's suit, interrupted the fighting between the King and Phrachao Prae of Burma and was cut to death. Her death saved Ayutthaya from another attack from the Burmese.

Instruments can speak for themselves
Device allows instruments to verbalize measurements, announce alarms, even in Spanish.
If you've ever found yourself talking to a flowmeter, now it can answer back. Just like the GPS gadget in your car, this new device from Omega Engineering speaks the process variable from an instrument.
The UV1000 Universal Verbalizer can take the signal from a measuring instrument and convert the reading to speech. The device provides a new way for engineers, technicians, and operators to monitor measurement and control information on the plant floor or in the laboratory. The device accepts signals from nearly any measurement or process control instrumentation, performs a signal-to-speech conversion, and announces the readings in the engineering unit you specify.
The front panel is configured to accept inputs from a 0-20 mA current loop, a 0 to 10 Vdc voltage source, or a direct connection to a type K thermocouple. The internal voice generator then announces the reading value and correct engineering units either on demand by pressing a "talk" button or at fixed intervals which can be set in the range of 0-120 sec. A voice alarm feature announces an alert when a high or low alarm limit condition occurs.
The device can verbalize over 100 types of engineering units in 23 categories. Announcements provide both a value and the proper unit. English and Spanish speaking models are available now with other languages due in the near future.
Built in a handy portable package, the front panel includes connectors for the three input types, with buttons to select the input type, initiate a reading, and adjust the volume. Although designed as a handheld unit, it can be permanently mounted for continuous monitoring in a fixed location using the ac adapter provided. Audio output is from either a built-in speaker or a standard headphone jack. The kit includes a selection of useful accessories.

Roger Sutton asks, what authors are famous for the wrong book? The Long Winter is better (he says) than the earlier Little House books; Lois Lowry's Autumn Street (which I haven't read) is better than The Giver.
I don't actually have examples of my own yet; I'm pondering. But I love the question! Thoughts?
