Anticipation is rising on the SVG-Dev list on an upcoming update of the Adobe SVG Viewer to version 4. Adobe have just released the mysterious Adobe Image Viewer 4.0. Apparently, this is an add-on for Acrobat Reader meant for visualizing presentations created with the upcoming Photoshop Album digital photo software.
Altough the Image Viewer page says nothing about SVG, it appears that it encapsulates new and updated SVG DLLs on Windows built last September, far more recent than those of SVG Viewer 3.0. Also, there is a page on the SVG Zone for the Image Viewer summarizing modifications on codes governed by the MPL. Installing the Image Viewer does not change anything when viewing SVG in browsers where the SVG Viewer 3.0 is still handling everything. Anyway, now it is clear Adobe have some updated core SVG components initially available in the SVG Viewer. It shouldn't be too long before someone from Adobe gives us an update on this on the SVG list.

NEW REPORT: Ten Years Later: A Look Back On The Koch Brothers & Hurricane Katrina
As the country marks the ten-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that came with it, Bridge Project is releasing a report that delves into Koch Industries' role in the most expensive natural disaster in American history. The report explores how the company both contributed to the damages and took advantage of the situation to increase their profits.
The Koch brothers' driving philosophy is to put their business interests ahead of everything else — as long as they're growing their bottom line, nothing, and no one else, matters. Bridge Project's report entitled, "Ten Years Later: A Look Back On The Koch Brothers & Hurricane Katrina," looks at how that philosophy compounded the effects of Hurricane Katrina. The report also covers their more recent efforts to push policies that can be detrimental to residents of high risk flood areas.
The report looks at:

text: Politics 27 August 2009 Leader: Beware the coming anarchy and Labour's denial of it Chris Grayling's speech showed that he understands the coarsening of our public culture Sign up for our weekly email * The true Conservative is an instinctive pessimist. He or she believes that the human animal is fallen, that Man is an original sinner. In this vision, all grand schemes to remake the world, all utopian projects - socialism, communism, liberalism, environmentalism - are doomed to fail. What is necessary is not revolution but gradual, piecemeal change, compromise and pragmatism. To create the good society and protect against the coming anarchy, one needs robust, enduring institutions, such as the monarchy and the great public schools, which embody the accumulated wisdom of past generations. One needs to invest in private property and to accept natural inequalities: it is liberty, not equality, that matters most. A true Conservative would not call himself a progressive. But he would make a speech such as the one delivered by the shadow home secretary, Chris Grayling, on 25 August, in which he spoke of the social disorder of contemporary Britain. "Under this government," he said, referring to an "urban war" between street gangs, "in many parts of British cities, The Wire has become a part of real life." Searing in its critique of unrestrained capitalism, the American police drama The Wire has been acclaimed for its realistic and powerful portrayal of violent crime, drug gangs and public health failings in inner-city Baltimore. Leave aside that the creator of The Wire, David Simon, has repeatedly warned against politicians using his drama for transparently partisan purposes. One point nevertheless remains clear: Britain is not Baltimore. Crime overall has fallen by a third since Labour came to power in 1997. No British city has a crime rate, let alone a murder rate, that comes anywhere close to that of Baltimore, Maryland - or "Bodymore, Murderland" - where there were 234 murders in 2008, and 282 in 2007. By contrast, Greater Manchester, for example, had 49 murders in the 12 months leading up to March 2008 - and official figures published in July showed that murders in England and Wales had fallen to their lowest level in 20 years. So any comparison of Britain or British cities with either the fictionalised, blood-drenched world of The Wire or the real world of Baltimore, Maryland, is absurd, not to mention opportunistic. There is, however, a profound and genuine sense, across economic classes and geographic regions in Britain, of a public dissatisfaction, even anger, at the coarsening of our public culture and the slow degradation of our urban spaces. Britain is not a "broken" society as the Tories would have it in their resonant slogan, but there is civic disengagement and a widespread perception that something is not quite right in society at large. Our town centres have become the preserve of the binge drinker and brawler, our streets are squalid and our public discourse is coarse (how else to explain why the BBC paid Jonathan Ross so well and gave him such freedom to offend for so long before his deserved humiliation?). Even Labour's own Jon Cruddas has said that a society as unequal as ours is "simply dysfunctional". The Tories in general - and Mr Grayling in particular - understand all this and yearn to do something about it. Mr Grayling is an interesting politician: candid, clear-eyed, tough. Like Norman Tebbit before him, he actually means what he says. With his dead stare and pallor, he may resemble a middle manager in a large corporation, slightly harassed and eager to catch the 6pm commuter train back to the Essex hinterland, but he has an acute intelligence and a forensic eye for detail and for the inconsistencies, cant and obfuscations of Labour policy. He is one of the best men David Cameron has, and he has been justifiably promoted. Mr Grayling should be watched and listened to because he articulates many of the frustrations and anxieties of ordinary Britons and if, as expected, the Conservatives win the next general election, he will be making social policy. For better or worse, we will have a pessimist and social conservative at the Home Office. Labour ministers, so adept at robotically rehearsing national statistics on crime, unemployment, income and the rest even as they help to create the most unequal society since the Second World War, ignore at their peril the rise of Mr Grayling, what he represents and public anxiety about social disorder. The trouble is, they do not know what they do not know, and defeat awaits them.

An iPhone 3G advertisement that claims the handset is "really fast" has been banned by the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA).
The ASA has said the advertisement should not be broadcast again in the same form, after it received 17 complaints from users who had been misled by the advert, which claimed Web pages would load in under a second.
Apple claims "really fast" was a reference to the speed of the 3G model compared to the previous model of iPhone and was "relative not absolute."
Past Banned iPhone Ads in the UK
This is not the first time Apple's UK advertisments have come under fire. In August 2008 the ASA banned an Apple television advertisement lauding the iPhone's ability to view all parts of the Internet.
The ASA received two complaints from viewers that said the iPhone could not view all parts of the Internet because it did not support Flash or Java.
During the TV ad, the voice-over says "You never know which part of the internet you'll need. The do you need sun cream part? The what's the quickest way to the airport part? The what about an ocean view room part? Or the can you really afford this part? Which is why all the parts of the internet are on the iPhone." The ad ended with on-screen text that stated "iPhone. Only on O2."
In response to the complaints, Apple said the aim of the ad was to highlight the benefit of the iPhone in being able to offer availability to all internet websites, in contrast to other handsets which offered access to WAP versions or sites selected by service providers.
Additional issues have also been raised with Apple advertising here in the U.S.
June 2004: Not So Fast, Power Mac
Apple boasted that its Power Mac G5 was the "world's fastest personal computer." The ASA, again on the offense, didn't agree. It found the computer wasn't fastest "in all circumstances, for all applications," citing independent tests that marked two Dell models as the speedier machines.
May 2007: Color Me Mad
Apple's assertion that its MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks supported "millions of colors" came under assault when two California users argued otherwise. The men said the "millions" figure was just an illusion created by dithering and that the notebooks' displays, in actuality, were disappointing. Apple ended up settling the suit this past March for an undisclosed amount.
(additional information was added from PC World contributor JR Raphael and Macworld.com's Jim Dalrymple)
This story, "Apple 'Really Fast' iPhone Ad Banned in UK" was originally published by PC Advisor (UK).

Starting salaries for female graduates may not be as high as those for men, but the salaries will catch up in another five to 10 years, says Jasna Bratic, a science-law graduate working in research and development at accounting firm KPMG.
Not that Ms Bratic, 23, believes there is inequality in the workforce. In fact, her $42,000 annual salary is higher than that of most graduates.
"Females have become more career-driven and assertive in the last decade... and I think in the next few years there will be more women in senior positions," Ms Bratic says. Statistics suggest female graduates start on lower salaries than males because the higher-earning professions - dentistry, medicine, optometry and engineering - are more attractive to men.
"I guess professions such as engineering have always been stereotyped as male-dominated professions... and they do generally attract more males than females," Ms Bratic says. "I think more females are attracted to the social sciences."
She says this could be explained by the "left brain, right brain theory", which claims that men are better at using the left side of their brains (controlling logic and spatial ability) while women are better at using the right side (controlling creativity).
Ms Bratic says the graduate intake in her profession is evenly split, but fewer women are in senior positions. She believes women find it harder to get promoted because they take time off to have children.
The average graduate starting salary of $35,500 is reasonable, she says, because the higher-earning professions, like her own, involve more work.
"None of the higher paid jobs are nine-to-five jobs," she says. "So I think the higher salary is compensation for the amount of time you have to spend at work."

Pre-launch Development
Posted 17 July 2011 - 11:47 PM
Or, are you a damn-the-list-and-fire-off-the-content person? Perfection can lead to paralysis.
Possible target areas:
- If there is a blog, have a few blog posts in the can - enough to give wiggle room if not everything goes according to plan
- Enough content to make the site feel like it has depth
- Check content for quality - is it spellchecked? Clear? Accurate? Does it need inline links to other pages?
- Work out the obvious bugs - the broken bits like coding errors and broken links
- Message clarity - is it obvious what the site is supposed to be about?
- Review SEO specifics - is there an xml site map, do pages have unique titles?
- Make any structural parent/child/navigation tweaks
- Review branding, at the body language level, more than just putting up a logo and a few pages of text. What should the site's interactive personality feel like, to the user?
- Professional-level window-dressing - do you have a favicon? Logo? If it's a WordPress-run community site, have you replaced the WordPress's login logo and link with your own?
- Register any user names that are the same as the domain name in Twitter, FaceBook, gmail, etc.
- Have you created a custom 404 page with handy links?
- Does the site print well?
- Check for cross-browser display, in both standard and small screens
- Is navigation intuitive? Once on the site, can you tell where you are in relation to other content?
- Re-test any forms
- Check load time
- Install analytics and a feed reader
Unsure of *how* to test and check some of these things? Look around for tools and guidelines, get outside help or borrow from how the experts do it. For instance, Automattic (the WordPress company) makes use of screenshots of graphic mock-ups troubleshoot usability before any coding is done.
Used to coding in a text editor and adding graphic touches later? Check in with someone who does the opposite (starts with graphics) to see if that difference in ways of seeing reveals unnoticed problems or potentials.
Does anyone have tips to share about how fixes done after the fact could have been caught before launch?

I usually start creating a usable and persuasive website, so I don't need to redo lots of things later (such as keyword research, metas, titles, etc). Then I follow up with worthy content and add the less interesting bits later or when I need to change what I'm doing to relax/become unbored.
Practically, most of the above is done between creating and promoting good content, because, well, there's always lack of good content and a limited amount of time
Then again, that's a one person endeavour. If it's a serious business-like venture that is promoted by something other than great content (advertising, lots of topical links from content elsewhere, support from other projects, etc), then more checkups are needed and that's when I'd do the list, re-check, have a good amount of usable content already, test conversions and analytics, etc.

The nav structure, for example, is a pretty fundamental part of how a site will work and should be based on what information visitors will want and the most logical way of getting them there... that's something you'd probably do before writing code even not when you are about to launch.
I usually start on paper with a list of content/features, then workout visually the best way to present those features, mock up the most important pages and even pop things like content headings or formats (bullets/paragraphs/tables) though I'll write the actual text later. Then code it and create the individual pages, then work on the content for those pages. I'll have at least one of each type for testing. I'll generally upload at the stage when it's working and has the basic content pages, and just needs the type of content you build over time.

LOL - Point taken, Tam. On the other hand, what would be the fun in starting a conversation without leaving lots of room for improvement?
That's kind of a jumbled list
Posted 18 July 2011 - 05:45 PM
If the site is a small, static site then I'll create a core around which I can build other sections later.
If I'm trying to put together a large site then I will have obtained the content from someplace and probably that decides the structure.
I don't worry too much about mistakes. Mistakes are fixable and transient. A site that will be around for 10 years or more can tolerate 30 days of errors.

DENHAM SPRINGS — Jayden Jackson watched more than 90 veterans receive certificates thanking them for their military service during Juban Parc Elementary School's third annual Veterans Day program.
"It means a lot to recognize the veterans," the fifth-grader said following the hour-long service. "They're fighting for us and to keep our country safe."
Students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade participated in the program to honor veterans of all wars.
Paul Fradella, 87, the only WWII veteran at Friday's program, said he attended because his two great-grandsons, Gregory Paul Crain, 7, and Grant Crain, 5, asked.
"They wanted me here so I'm here for them," Fradella said. "I know a lot who served with me that are not here. Those are the heroes of the world."
Fradella, a Navy veteran who served from 1943 to 1946, was aboard the USS Haraden in December 1944 when it was hit by a kamikaze.
Program organizer and fifth-grade teacher Kelli Lowery said students have been learning the importance of Veterans Day. Each teacher, Lowery said, incorporated a veterans activity into his or her lesson plan.
"Especially since it's an election year, they're into patriotism and want to celebrate and show their support for our veterans."
For Jason Teed, of Central, Friday's program was "wonderful."
The Marine Corps veteran who served two tours of duty in Iraq said, "It's a great feeling" knowing people appreciate veterans.
Before the program, students were asked to write an essay on what Veterans Day means to them.
During the program, a student from each grade level was selected to read his or her letter.
"I love my veterans," second-grader Jude Horne read to the crowd gathered. "My veterans protect me. I live in freedom today because of our veterans."
"I feel fortunate that these are people who are willing to fight to keep us safe," fifth-grader Grace Cambre said.
The students also sang a medley of patriotic songs, and waved flags in honor of each branch of the military.
While fifth-grader Charles Bell, 10, enjoyed the program, he said he believes that people should think of veterans "every single day."
For youth around the country who may not have been able to attend a Veterans Day program, Charles said he would tell them "to pray for veterans who fight for our country because we really need to thank them."
The program concluded with a reception, where many of the youths joined the veterans for refreshments.
Don Wilkenson, of Kinder, whose grandson, Trever Cole, 9, attends the school, said he enjoyed the program.
"I liked it," the Vietnam veteran said. "I like seeing all of the kids participate and get an appreciation for our country."
"It makes me feel good that the school is doing this and promoting the veterans of our country," he said.
"The children don't really know about veterans unless the adults tell them," Wilkenson, a Navy veteran, said.

Buggin' Out Considerations: A shelter
Most people who plan to bugout haven't planned their shelter. A shelter is the
consideration to make following the rule of three. In any extreme situation you cannot survive for more than:
3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
All of these are provisionally based upon conditions. In Winter, three hours is a
time and hypothermia can easily kill you. It will certainly give you frostbite, and if happens to feet, then you're as good as dead because traveling is so reduced. See previous postings on hypothermia and dealing with frostbite.
Yes people survive frostbite today because of advanced medicine. In a collapse there won't be any medicine other than what
Most people don't use common sense when planning their clothing and shoes for dealing with bugging out. See previous postings on those topics. Many will have not broken in shoes for children, spouses, and themselves and this alone will end up injuring them, and perhaps killing them in the end.
If someone is sedentary, and it may be nigh impossible but has happened historically, then one can live up to three months under unusual conditions without food. It all depends upon core temperature... which means some sheltering was happening, obesity, weather, and a profound amount of luck (most likely mercy from the Source).
In Winter there are limited amounts of ways to make shelter. I've discussed shelter before either a short term debris hut (mostly in Autumn based upon high amounts of naturally occurring insulation and materials), digging in a shelter (requires hand tools, skill, lumber for a framework, intelligence, drainage issues), a snow shelter (intelligence, carbon monoxide issues, ability). See many previous postings on doing that.
For most people bugging out,
if you're headed to a location
, then most likely you're spending many nights out on the road and using a very light tent. Here's a link that describes the issues and the materials and styles to chose one. There are many kinds of tents, buy from a place that fits your budget and ability and fits
link to www.rei.com
For most people bugging out with no planned eventual location as an end goal, you will die attempting to vaguely get to safety.
It should be off road and camouflaged with an appropriate tarp that either copies the existing woodland pattern for that season or is pure white to blend in if snow is on the ground perhaps brown-black or green or straw colored
based upon prevailing conditions
. Many tents are bright colored for aesthetics and to locate it in the wild when tired and coming back to camp from the woodlands for visibility reasons. This is all bad in a collapse. Otherwise it will be seen and since millions may be bugging out and not prepared it will be a resource for them to steal. In effect, you'll become their store to get supplies or resupply.
You are NOT going to simply rough it
. As my friends in New York say, "Forget about it." NO NO NO. It takes a lot of practice to build a shelter successfully or find a sycamore tree (see previous postings) that will work. Even if you do, then it may rain, snow very hard, can't find firewood, blah blah blah.
A book is a good thing. A book in a backpack means you don't know how to do something perfectly. This is no time to be reading a book if bugging out. You need light to read, quite a bit, and this means giving away your position. Dumb, very dumb post-collapse. Don't imagine that you'll wing it.
Children can easily setup a tent with training. They also can build debris shelters. They can only do it based upon how well you teach them and much practice.
In Winter very few people work at their peak efficiently, but rather struggle, complain, and moan and groan and this noise carries for miles.
Most likely you're hurriedly hiking
13+ miles a day as a goal, but realistically five miles
a day over elevated terrain and dealing with things like alder wood thickets, high grasses that you can't see through, attempting stealth, water crossings, all of which mean a commensurate reduction of speed. The amount of distance gained is based upon hunger, thirst, firewood, supplies, and looking for all three plus building shelter.
The preponderance of people hiking don't have much stamina and
a non-hiker has almost no stamina
It's very likely that avoiding detection will greatly reduce speed and change your direction and trail.
This means that you need to save time in evaluating a campsite based upon criteria:
Defensibility, elevated position, cover, firewood (at odd times in a Dakota hole if possible to bury the evidence but may be impossible due to frozen ground. You may try to hide the fire with rock walls.), water resupply, foraging, tiredness, etc.
Having a tent eliminates much of that if it can be put up fast (only if trained and practiced, not theoretical), done quietly, and camouflaged.
If it's heavy, that's less food or water you can carry(half of your bugout gear weight), plus tools. Appalachian trail backpackers will cut their toothbrush handles off and burn book pages to lighten their packs.
What do you think you'll do when not used or ill-trained to carrying a backpack and dealing with bruises and blisters?
If practiced and hardened elite hikers do something then halve or quarter what they can do and expect that out of yourself and strong family members.

The Ugly Truth
Run Time: 95 Minutes
Not for Children
Although Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler) is intended to be so over-the-top outrageous that he's funny, most of what he says (save, maybe, for his emphasis on oral sex) makes sense, and describes how many men react to a woman so accurately that it should be emailed to every woman around the world.
What he tells Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl, who also gets an Executive Producer credit) is so frank and right on that it is uproariously funny while he's laying down the rules to her. This was just one of the many places where I laughed out loud.
Volumes could be written about what women don't know about men. This movie is a prime example, although if you watch it, you won't realize why. That's why I'm here.
It was written by three women, Nicole Eastman (who also gets story credit) with help from Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith. Eastman says, "Mike was a completely fictional character I wanted to be as obnoxious and rude as possible, so I can't believe how much men say they relate to him!" Here's the creator thinking that she's writing rubbish coming out of Mike's mouth when it pretty much captures the way men feel (except, as I stated above, for what these women have him say about oral sex), although they aren't really as simian as these women created Mike. Agrees Lutz, "I definitely disagree with all his crazy, insane beliefs, and, yet somehow, I'm completely tickled by Mike." Talk about out of the mouths of babes (no pun intended)!
These women are creating a guy they think is ridiculous but, apparently unbeknownst to them, what he says are pretty accurate reflections of the way men feel about relationships, and even more pertinent, how they react to what women talk about. How's that for ironic? Most men will be in the audience telling their girlfriends, "Yeah, listen to this guy!" The fact that the women who wrote this film still don't have a clue is as funny as the film itself. But the sad fact is that no woman will listen to anything Mike says, and will, thus, continue to completely misunderstand men.
Abby is the producer of a low-rated morning show in Sacramento when Mike is hired to bring up the ratings. He not only brings up the ratings, he raises Abby's temperature to the boiling point because what he says is directly opposite what she believes in her super-controlled life. When she gets involved with the man of her dreams, Colin (Eric Winter), Mike "helps" her to understand how to hook and reel him in. While what happens may be terribly predictable, it is so well acted by Heigl and Butler, and so well directed by Robert Luketic, that it had me almost rolling in the aisles.
Heigl is not only a supremely gorgeous woman (beautifully shot by Director of Photography Russell Carpenter; there's a close-up of Heigl's face near the end of the film that is breathtaking. That is, if you're a guy), she is also a supremely gifted comedienne. Some of the situations penned by Eastman, Lutz and Smith could fall flat if not presented by talented actors, and translated by a gifted director.
This is a screwball comedy in the tradition of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. In fact, it's odd coincidence that this title is so close to the Leo McCarey, Grant-Dunne classic, "The Awful Truth" (1937), because none of the participants even mention that movie as inspiration. Regardless, McCarey, Grant and Dunne couldn't have done it better.
Despite the truths they put in Mike's mouth, they created him to be as much of a Neanderthal as possible, even making him look like an orangutan; always needing a shave, looking hairy and messy (contrasted with Colin, who is always clean-shaven, polite and well-dressed). Men who aren't as goofy-appearing as Mike still have the same outlook. The women manipulate it to make it look as if men with these opinions are all little more than apes. Forget what he says about oral sex; instead, think of the other things he says and, therein, you will find a lot of truth.
I had seen the trailers before I saw the screening, and I wasn't anticipating much because they make it look charmless and stupid. This is a film that could be done in by poor promotion. So my advice is to ignore the trailers, and come see this film if you want some good laughs.
A word of warning; this is an adult movie with adult language, and frank discussions of sexual activity. Some could find it offensive. I thought it was hilarious.
Every guy should drag his girlfriend/wife to this movie (not necessarily by the hair). To women: I say, go to the film, and laugh at what Mike says but take notes.

Gold Nanoparticles Speed Gene Detection Techniques
Cancer is a disease caused by genetic mutations, so it should be no surprise that cancer researchers and clinical oncologists alike are eager for new, inexpensive methods that would enable them to rapidly and accurately identify mutations associated with cancer. Using gold nanoparticles, two groups of investigators have each developed gene-identification methods that may fill this need.
Research teams headed by Lloyd Smith, Ph.D., at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Robert Corn, of the University of California-Irvine, each published papers in the journal Analytical Chemistry that detail the two new approaches to rapid, quantitative gene identification. Both of the new techniques identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most frequent type of human genetic variation, with the help of DNA microarrays. In each case, sample DNA is added to a gene chip containing known sequences of DNA. Each of these known sequences corresponds to a known SNP associated with a disease. After any DNA in the sample binds to its chip-immobilized complement, the chip is washed to remove any unbound DNA.
In the Wisconsin team's method, the DNA chip is then treated with an enzyme that degrades the ends of the bound DNA, leaving a free, reactive phosphate group that over the course of two subsequent biochemical reactions is labeled with a gold nanoparticle. Because of the techniques the researchers used, only those places on the DNA chip where a piece of sample DNA had been bound to a SNP-identifying DNA probe become labeled with gold nanoparticles. When the chip is then viewed under an electron microscope, the gold nanoparticles appear as white pinpoints on a black background. Commercial software can readily analyze the electron micrograph, providing an accurate tally of any SNPs that were present in the original sample.
The investigators note that their methodology improves labeling efficiency by as much as 15-fold over conventional analytical methods. In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio – a measure of how strong the analytical signal is compared to background signal – is some 4-fold higher using gold nanoparticles as the detection reagent.
The UC-Irvine group took advantage of the extreme optical brightness of gold nanoparticles to generate its highly sensitive SNP detection scheme. When irradiated with light, gold nanoparticles generate bright light of a different frequency by a process called plasmon surface resonance. In their method, Corn and his colleagues take the washed DNA chip and use an enzyme that attaches a short piece of DNA linked to a gold nanoparticle to the ends of the sample probe wherever it has bound to complementary pieces of DNA from the sample. Again, gold nanoparticles end up only where the DNA chip has identified the presence of a specific SNP in the original sample.
Using a plasmon resonance scanner, the investigators can easily spot which of the chip-based probes bound to sample DNA. To test their method, the UC-Irvine team successfully identified DNA containing point mutations, or SNPs, in the BRCA1 gene that are associated with breast cancer.
The Smith group's work was detailed in a paper titled, "Quantitative detection of individual cleaved DNA molecules on surfaces using gold nanoparticles and scanning electron microscope imaging." An abstract of this paper is available through PubMed.

The work from the Corn group was detailed in a paper titled, "Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping by nanoparticle-enhanced surface plasmon resonance imaging measurements of surface ligation reactions." This paper was published online in advance of print publication. An abstract is available at the journal's website.

Boston Rebels, a Virginia Attorney, and an Ambassador
SAMUEL ADAMS was such an effective political agitator
that the Revolution might not have begun without him. Adams organized
the underground group called Sons of Liberty, was the most likely
instigator of the Boston Tea Party, and spread propaganda through
broadsides and pamphlets that
called for unified resistance.
After JOHN HANCOCK inherited a fortune in his mid-20s,
this elegant dandy nearly single-handedly bankrolled the early protests
in Boston. In the late 1760s, he was accused of smuggling and although
certainly guilty, his attorney was able to get Hancock relieved
of all charges. The lawyer was Sam's cousin, John Adams.
JOHN ADAMS was a brilliant 35-year-old attorney and
a passionate defender of individual rights. Some of the evidence
that he collected (and concealed) for the successful defense of
Boston Massacre soldiers could have led Sam Adams and the Sons of
Liberty to be arrested for treason.
PAUL REVERE was a leader of Boston's skilled craftsmen
who spied on Redcoat activity. A talented silversmith,
printer and engraver, Revere's rebellious view of political events
appeared in newspapers, almanacs and broadsides that spread patriotic
messages throughout the colonies.
PATRICK HENRY was an attorney from Virginia whose
defiant oratory was essential to the early patriotic cause. In 1775
he offered these famous words: "Is life so dear, or peace so
sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I
know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty,
or give me death!"
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN served as a colonial ambassador
to London for nearly 20 years, and considered himself first an Englishman,
then an American. Nevertheless, he staunchly defended American rights.
Ben Franklin came from Philadelphia where he had published Poor
Richard's Almanack, and his shrewd wit and wisdom had
made him famous throughout the world through such observations as:
"God helps those who help themselves;" "No gains
without pains;" and "Nothing in this world is certain
but death and taxes."

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Blair Walsh acclimated quickly in his rookie season for the Minnesota Vikings. Turns out he understood quickly how to uphold tradition as well. Walsh, the sixth-round draft pick last year by Minnesota, set several team and league records in his first season for the Vikings and was named the NFC's Pro Bowl kicker. But Walsh also wanted to recognize one of the players responsible for helping him get to Hawaii. So the rookie treated one of Minnesota's veterans to a trip to the islands, as well. Being the considerate rookie, Walsh planned to treat long snapper Cullen Loeffler with a Hawaiian vacation this week during the Pro Bowl. "He deserves it," Walsh said earlier this month. "That was a mutually founded thing." Walsh's treat didn't come without a little prodding. Walsh was new to the Vikings this season and punter Chris Kluwe made sure the rookie knew the team's plan to award Loeffler. For years, Kluwe and former kicker Ryan Longwell had told Loeffler they would bring him with if they earned an invitation to play in the Pro Bowl. But Kluwe and Longwell never received the honor and Loeffler never got his vacation. "There were so many times before that both Ryan and Kluwe were alternates for the Pro Bowl and the deal was, 'Hey look, if we make it we're taking you with us regardless,'" Loeffler said. "And so, really, Kluwe informed him, 'Hey, this is how it works.' Because I can't get voted in, I can only get invited. He obviously came through and he's like, 'Yeah, definitely. I'm appreciative for everything that you've done.' He's just been a great guy." Finally this year, with Walsh taking the NFL by storm, Loeffler needed to pack his bathing suit in January. Walsh was fourth in the league in scoring with 143 points and set an NFL record of 10 field goals this season of 50 yards or more with Walsh going 10 of 10 from 50 and beyond this year with a Vikings' record-tying 56-yarder. Walsh's 92.1 conversion rate was the third-highest total in the NFL of any kicker with at least 19 attempts. Walsh finished 35 of 38 on his field-goal attempts this season to earn his spot in Saturday's Pro Bowl. Walsh will be joined by teammates Jared Allen, Jerome Felton, Chad Greenway, Adrian Peterson and Kyle Rudolph on the NFC team. Of course, Walsh and Loeffler were hoping the trip wouldn't be a financial burden for the rookie. Each conference's coach gets the chance to invite one player, which is usually the long snapper. The hope was Loeffler would be recognized for his work this year and be named a Pro Bowler on his own. But after Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy was named the NFC's coach, he chose the Detroit Lions' Don Muhlbach as the NFC's long snapper. The unfortunate part for Loeffler, and Walsh's wallet, is long snappers can't be voted in. Loeffler, who has carved out a nine-year career as Minnesota's long snapper and signed a 3-year contract extension in November 2011, would prefer the position be recognized by a vote. "Of course I do because I play the position," Loeffler said. "But it's been that same way for a while now and at the same time it's worked out for situations like last year that, 'Hey, you have both a punter and kicker go, of course their long snapper deserves to go.' There's no doubt that (San Francisco's Brian) Jennings was very deserving of that because they don't have that same type of success if a guy's not playing to a high standard and doing great things for them. It's a fine line." This time, Walsh, who was paid a 390,000 base salary this season as part of the four-year contract he signed after being drafted, will pay for Loeffler's trip and the veteran appreciates the rookie's gesture. "It means a whole lot to me," Loeffler said. "We have a great relationship, obviously. He's a great guy and obviously has done a tremendous job and is just so thankful for the, I think, for the transformation that he's made from his senior year in college to now. As was our team being doubted before the season, so was he and the selection that they madeHe's just stayed hungry and he knows how important staying focused and doing things the right way are, and because of it, he's had a great season and because of that great season, he's being really appreciative and showing tremendous gratitude towards me and bringing me a lot too, which I'm thankful for."

The Music and Memories of March 13
The Headlines
1967- Four years after her death, Decca Records releases Patsy Cline's "Greatest Hits." It's hard to believe that she only had two number one hits during her short career, "I Fall To Pieces" and "She's Got You." These singles along with the timeless classics "Crazy" and "Walkin' After Midnight" (which both peaked at number two) appear on the project. Later, the album earns a Diamond Award for selling over 10 million copies.
The #1 Billboard Hits
1999- You Were Mine- Dixie Chicks
1982- Blue Moon With A Heartache- Rosanne Cash
1976- The Roots Of My Raising- Merle Haggard
Jan Howard, 1930. Jan was once married to songwriter Harlan Howard and joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in 1971. A string of duets with Bill Anderson brings her a number one hit with "For Loving You" in 1967.

Increase in wholesale value of fruit and vegetables
Although the volume of fresh fruit and vegetables sold through official markets in the third quarter declined by 6.8 per cent, the wholesale value increased by 6.3 per cent.
The National Statistics Office said that the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables in the third quarter amounted to 12.7 million kilograms, 6.8 per cent less than in the same period in 2011. Conversely, the wholesale value increased by 6.3 per cent, amounting to €4.6 million.
The volume of fresh vegetables fell by 5.2 per cent to 11.8 million kilogrammes over the comparative quarter last year.
Maltese farmers supplied 10.9 million kilogrammes of fresh fruit and vegetables, yielding €4 million. Their produce accounted for 85.8 per cent of the total supply of fresh fruit and vegetables for the quarter under review.
Gozitan farmers supplied the remaining 14.2 per cent of the total supply, amounting to 1.8 million kilogrammes. The wholesale value advanced by 19.6 per cent to €0.6 million.

NASA-Russia Cooperation: What You Need To Know
Russia's official news agency Itar-Tass reported today that Russian President Vladimir Putin will talk with the International Space Station (ISS) crew tomorrow (April 11) by videoconference. Currently there are three Russians, two Americans and a Japanese aboard ISS. All seems well in U.S.-Russian space cooperation. Is it?
Space aficionados in Russia, the United States, and around the globe are preparing to commemorate the anniversary of when Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to orbit the Earth on April 12, 1961. This year is also the 80th anniversary of Gagarin's birth (he died in a MIG crash in1968). As that celebration nears, space cooperation seems to be proceeding smoothly, but what happened to the news last week that NASA is suspending interactions with Russia other than for the ISS program because of Russia's actions in Ukraine?
Here's what we know today.
The news that NASA was suspending interactions with Russia – except for operations of ISS – came as quite a surprise and generated a lot of media attention. SpacePolicyOnline.com since has asked many questions of Administration officials (including NASA) and we have been asked many questions by you. Here are the most often-asked questions and our answers. It is an evolving situation – things could change at any time --but this is what we can say as of April 10, 2014.
Why did NASA do this?
Then why is NASA the only agency in the headlines?
Are operations of the International Space Station in jeopardy?
Then why did NASA's official statement devote most of its text to a rant against Congress for not providing sufficient funding for the commercial crew program?
Why did NASA post its official statement on a Google+ page and announce it via Twitter instead of using regular news releases?
What other NASA programs or activities are affected?
Are there exemptions for any of those?
So what's changed in NASA-Russia interactions?
Since so little has changed, this seems to be a tempest in a teapot. Is it just a ruse by NASA to get Congress to fund commercial crew?
Is this the first time NASA has been drawn into geopolitical disputes?
Is Russia the only example of geopolitics mixing with the space program?
What happens next?

My DS (dear son) is on his 48th day in the NICU. I have been kangarooing around every other day (except when he's having a rough day) since the 2nd week. Problem is, my DH (dear husband) hates when I kangaroo. He thinks that Nathan should stay in the isolette - he's always telling me that Nathan needs his rest and we should just leave him alone. He thinks that it is unnecessarily exposing Nathan to germs in the air. I've shown him the supporting evidence of kangarooing and even had a nurse talk to him about it. So now when I kangaroo - I do it when DH (dear husband) isn't there with me, he just stresses me out. We had sort of a blow out about it last night because I lost it. I don't like being made to feel guilty about doing something that has been proven to be beneficial for preemies.
Has anyone else had this experience with your significant others/spouses??

Council to let Third Avenue West traffic lights go
Asking the Mobridge City Council to help correct a mistake made by the city in 1997, Lyle Walth addressed the group Monday, March 18, about problems along a sewer line.
He told the council when he built his home on 12th Street and 12th Avenue East, he was required by the city to add a sewer line, a block of pipe and a manhole. He has since then sold two parcels of his property near his home and also paid for them to hook up to the city sewer line.
One of those property owners built their house on a hill they constructed in order to be able to hook up to the line because the manhole was too shallow. That would have caused backup problems in the home.
Walth said he asked Water Department Manager Brad Milliken why the city buried the lines in this manner. He was told it happened in 1997, before Milliken was in his position with the city, and he could not answer Walth's question.
Walth said he has another person interested in buying property but he cannot use the sewer line and considered a septic system instead. Walth said he would like to have the city rectify the shallow manhole situation.
"I paid $6,000 for the connection and the manhole and someone in the city made the decision to bury that shallow," he said. "I don't feel that I should have to pay for it again."
Mobridge Mayor Jamie Dietterle told Walth he didn't know if the city was liable for the situation because City Attorney Rick Cain was not available for council and the city employee who made the decision was no longer with the city.
He said the council would take the information into consideration and discuss it with Cain to see if the city is liable for the situation.
Walth said he is willing to work with the city.
"I don't think I should pay for all of it, but I will for part of it," he said. "Everything is negotiable. I would like to see it repaired so other homeowners can tie into the line."
Dietterle thanked him for his flexibility on the manner and said he would have Cain look into the matter.
Traffic lights
Dietterle reported the South Dakota Department of Transportation requested the city either allow them to remove the traffic lights on Third Avenue West or take over the operation and maintenance of those lights. That contract would be $47,852 per year. He said DOT Area Engineer John Villbrandt informed him statistics show there is not near enough traffic to justify having a traffic control at that corner.
Dietterle said when there were children attending Beadle School, those lights were a necessity for the safety of the students. Now that building is a college and no children are using Grand Crossing, the need for the lights is gone.
After a short discussion on the issue, which included Mobridge Police Chief Justin Jungwirth agreeing the lights are no longer needed, the council voted to allow the DOT to remove the traffic lights when Grand Crossing is resurfaced this summer.
The council approved Ward III Councilman Gene Cox, Ward III Councilman Randy Carlson, City Planning and Zoning Officer Harley Overseth to be on the tax property committee. Christine Martin Goldsmith of the Economic Development Corporation will also be included if and when the entity becomes involved in action with the county.
The purpose of the committee is to work with members from the Walworth County Commission, State's Attorney Jamie Hare, and Commissioners Duane Martin and Rick Godkin on action to be taken on properties turned over to the county because of non-payment of taxes.
Ward II Councilman Tony Yellow Boy asked who would be responsible for condemning properties if the committee decides that the properties should be demolished not rehabilitated.
Overseth said by ordinance he has the power to make that decision, but he was not comfortable testifying in court if someone should test the committees decision legally. He said the last time the city condemned properties they hired a man from Aberdeen to make the decision. That man has since passed away.
Overseth said finding someone who is willing to condemn the properties and to testify in court is difficult.
Dietterle said if there comes a situation where someone needs to condemn a property, they would find someone to do the job.
Surplus garage
Milliken requested the council reconsider selling the garage on the Second Avenue East property recently purchased to make room for the new water tower.
The council has declared the garage as surplus property along with the fence on the property. Advertising for bids has not yet taken place.
Milliken said the garage at the wastewater plant is falling down and he would like to use the surplus garage to replace it.
The council agreed the water department could have the building and city employees would move it to the wastewater plant to be used as storage there.

At 94, Auxiliary Bishop Timothy Lyne is the fourth-oldest Catholic bishop in the United States. Ordained 70 years ago, he will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his episcopal elevation in October. And he has lived in the same room at Holy Name Cathedral for almost half a century.
Those are impressive numbers, yet few Catholics outside of Chicago recognize his name. Lyne has graced NCR's pages only a few times, usually in the form of comments about more famous Chicagoans, such as the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin or Msgr. Jack Egan.
Like so many "Vatican II" priests, Lyne has not sought the limelight, choosing instead to quietly but persistently serve the city where he was born. If some of his generation are frustrated with the direction of the church in recent years, Lyne remains easygoing and positive. Perhaps this is his secret to surviving five Chicago cardinals.
"God has been good to me, and people have been good to me," he said in an interview in July. "I've been particularly blessed. I've always liked being a priest."
Technically an "auxiliary bishop emeritus" since 1995, Lyne is active in his retirement. He still has an office at the cathedral, mentors younger priests and visits retired ones, and is involved in ecumenical and interreligious projects. His hobbies include opera and Notre Dame football, although he didn't get to see the Fighting Irish in person last year because of some vision problems. He is the proud uncle of 18 nieces and nephews.
It's hard to find anyone to say a bad word about Lyne, perhaps because he rarely says anything negative about anyone else. He is especially respected and well-loved by fellow Chicago priests. Fr. Tom Nangle, a retired police chaplain, calls him a "one of my heroes" and a deeply spiritual man of integrity.
"Many bishops are great churchmen because they pay more attention to the institutional church than to the teachings of Jesus Christ," Nangle said. "Tim Lyne is a true churchman because he sees the church for what it really is, the people of God."
Lyne is a "good, common-sense priest," said Msgr. Kenneth Velo, a former archdiocesan official who now works in administration at DePaul University. Velo, like Nangle, remembers retreats Lyne gave when they were seminarians in the early 1970s.
"When we were young, we lost a lot of priests, a lot of mentors," Velo said. "Tim Lyne always stood out as a great example, as a good pastor, as someone who got things done, someone reliable, healthy, and effective."
The eldest child of Irish immigrant parents, Lyne grew up on Chicago's West Side. When he was 7, he and his brother contracted spinal meningitis. Tim walked away clean, while his brother, John, was disabled by the disease. "This influenced my life tremendously," Lyne remembers. "It gave me insight into the suffering people go through."
Selected by the pastor of his parish as a "bright boy" with priesthood potential, Lyne went off to the high school seminary in Chicago. In the summers, he worked in a pinball factory and a stockman's office, and occasionally tagged along with his police officer father into city court. "My dad said priests ought to have an idea about what's going on in the world," says Lyne, who recalls seeing women charged with prostitution in the courts. "He also said, 'You don't have to tell your mother everything you've heard.' "
Later, when Lyne became associate pastor at the cathedral, "I knew all the [prostitution] joints down here, but not because I patronized them," he says with a smile.
At the cathedral, he supervised an extensive renovation of the 1874 building and pastored more than one mayor and other prominent Chicagoans. Although becoming a bishop "never entered my mind at all," his visibility as the cathedral pastor involved him in archdiocesan projects and probably contributed to his being named a bishop in 1983 by Pope John Paul II.
It also probably didn't hurt that Lyne had helped his friend Bishop Alfred Abramowicz to bring the bishop of Krakow, Poland, to Chicago in 1969. "We were very good to him, and he never forgot that," Lyne says.
Lyne also has a good story about Pope Benedict XVI from when he headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. "It was my first 'ad limina' visit, and I asked him a question -- it was a tricky question. He stopped and looked at me and said, 'Did I answer your question -- and what's behind it?' He was very bright," Lyne remembers.
About the new pope, Lyne is characteristically optimistic. "I've got great hopes for Francis," he says. "He's been an archbishop of a very large diocese. He's used to dealing with problems of the church on a local level.
"So far, I think he's done well," he adds. "The question always is, can he do the things that are necessary for the governance of the church? That's why he was elected."
Closer to home, Lyne has a good relationship with Cardinal Francis George, he says. "I can say a lot of things that nobody else can," he says. 'It's always important for the church that there's somebody who can say, 'You don't want to do this.' "
In Chicago, Lyne is that person. He is known as a truth-teller, though a gentle one, someone who has spent his whole life trying to understand people. "One lesson I've learned is to see people as they are. It's important as a priest to figure out why people are the way they are," he says.
Lyne still attends meetings of the U.S. bishops' conference, though he missed this year's June meeting. He is aware that the newer bishops are more conservative, but he is not discouraged.
"We have to remember, there is God," he says. "Sometimes I think that gets lost with people's strong opinions."

Student learning goals
General method of instruction
This course will make use of Just-in-Time Teaching (JITT). You will take a short quiz covering the reading assignment BEFORE each class meeting. This is designed to reward you for reading/listening to the assignment before class. It also offers you the opportunity to tell me what you would like me to focus on in class. If nothing in the reading presented any major difficulties, we will dive right into solving some problems.
I have created an extensive bulletin board for each HW assignment in the course. I will respond to all questions posted, usually within 24 hours.
Both the instructor and the TA will hold regular office hours. In addition, the TA will will hold a virtual office hour at night in a simple chat room on the internet that is dedicated to this course. The virtual office hour will be from 8 to 9 PM the night before each homework is due.
Recommended preparation
Reliable access to the internet will be helpful in this course. The course website and email are the primary means of communication outside of class and office hours.
Class assignments and grading
Homework problem sets are your best bet for learning to solve thermodynamics problems. You are encouraged to work in groups and still do your own work. There will be 9 homework assignments and each problem set consists of 5-15 problems.
Daily JITT Quizzes, Homework, a Midterm Test and the Final Exam are the components of your grade in the course. Visit the course website for more details.

Delcam has extended its range of dental scanners with the launch of its DentSCAN scanner. The new unit is slim, light and accurate to 20 microns, making it ideal for use in dental laboratories that need to design restorations either for in-house production or for supply to milling centres for manufacture.
The DentSCAN scanner uses the latest generation of white-light 3D scanning technology to give both fast and accurate data capture. This is combined with precision calibration and articulation equipment to provide high-precision scans for the design of all types of restoration, from simple copings to anatomical crowns and bridges.
DentSCAN also has the ability to capture data from deep cavities, allowing dental impressions to be scanned as well as stone casts.
DentSCAN is available with three software variants; a Base bundle for crowns and bridges, a Plus option for simple implant restorations, and a Pro version for multi-implant restorations. Upgrades between the different levels are controlled by a simple software upgrade, with no need to buy a new scanner or any extra equipment.
The Plus and Pro versions of the software include best-fitting algorithms from Delcam's PowerINSPECT metrology program, the world's leading hardware-independent inspection software. These allow the positions of scan adaptors to be located to high levels of precision and so enable extremely accurate production of items such as dental bars that need to match to a number of implants.
Each unit is supplied with a calibration plate to ensure consistent accuracy, a multi-die adapter capable of holding up to eight components, and a scanning articulator with two clamps to allow both upper and lower impressions to be scanned simultaneously.
DentSCAN is, of course, fully compatible with Delcam's dental CADCAM software for both modelling of the restorations and their machining. It follows Delcam's policy supporting 'open' systems and can also be used with other dental machining software.

Advisory committee: SU should plan for possibility of student-athlete unions
Regardless of the merits of a federal agency's ruling that football players at Northwestern University can unionize, Syracuse University should begin planning if the decision is upheld, according to an advisory budget committee.
That statement is included in a 12-page, wide-ranging report from the University Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs, which was presented on Wednesday. The senate is an academic governing body made up of faculty, staff, administration and students.
The budget committee's report said the March 26 decision from a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board's Chicago office has "serious potential implications" for athletic departments at private universities, though it is too early to speculate what will eventually happen with the ruling. Those implications include more resources being spent on football and basketball — something that would disrupt how sports that do not make money are financed, according to the report. The labor board's decision would also require that questions about paying athletes in these "non-revenue" sports be addressed.
Football and men's basketball generated the most revenue out of SU's different sports last year, according to numbers reported to the U.S. Department of Education. Football generated $33,213,622 in revenue and men's basketball took in $26,039,030. That's compared to $22,663,307 and $13,788,271 in expenses, respectively.
SU Athletics chief communications officer Joe Giansante did not return four calls and an email about the budget committee's report.
Herman Frazier, deputy athletics director and chief of staff, talked briefly about unionization on Tuesday in a REL 103: "Religion and Sports" class that was open to the public. He cited possible concerns with taxes and "employee relations" — such as if 50,000 tickets were sold to an event and athletes did not show up.
At SU, Frazier said, student-athletes are getting an education valued at more than $200,000. They will also not leave school with a medical bill from a sports-related injury and have access to tutoring, he said.

Teri Hatcher Wears Fat Suit. Oh Man! (VIDEO)
Oh man, this is gonna be good!
In the upcoming upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives, airing January 3, the lovely ladies imagine what life would be life if things had been different.
For Teri Hatcher, it involved sporting a fat suit, the pounds she supposedly packed on when she realized her hubby hadn't quit cheating on her! The fantasy sequence also shows her telling Mike Delfino (James Denton), who is still her plumber, "You know what would serve him right? To come home and find me in bed with another man!"
Thanks for NOT showing that us that one, guys.
