MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski asked the co-host of "Morning Joe" Monday if Republicans holding the line on the debt ceiling are "so stuck to their little contract and the Tea Party that they cannot even think outside the box for the good of the country."
Somewhat less surprising, Joe Scarborough gave a pretty good answer (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Usually you're good at seeing someone's angle. Like you know what their angle is.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Oh, I see their angle.
BRZEZINSKI: What's the angle here? Who's, I don't get it.
SCARBOROUGH: They believe. I mean, these Republicans believe this is the only opportunity to…
BRZEZINSKI: Are they so stuck to their little contract and the Tea Party that they cannot even think outside the box for the good of the country?
Pretty pathetic question from Brzezinski, although not at all surprising given her extreme liberal bias.
Many of these newly-elected Tea Party Congressmen and women left successful careers to fight for the good of the country.
Mortgaging our children and grandchildren's future with piles of debt that will inevitably drown the nation's economy is not for the good of the country.
What's in the country's best interest now is for spending to be restrained so that America can pay its bills over the long haul while retaining its AAA credit rating.
The suggestion that right-thinking Republicans at this moment in history are doing anything that isn't for the good of the country requires what Hillary Clinton called a willing suspension of disbelief.
Fortunately for viewers, Scarborough - when he was finally given a chance to answer - did a pretty good job:
SCARBOROUGH: Can I finish?
BRZEZINSKI: Seriously.
SCARBOROUGH: Can I finish?
BRZEZINSKI: Sorry.
SCARBOROUGH: You ask a question, I'm going to finish.
BRZEZINSKI: Sorry.
SCARBOROUGH: No, the, they understand one thing.
BRZEZINSKI: Alright, what do they understand?
SCARBOROUGH: They're dead right about this. This is their best chance for quite some time to actually get real debt savings. And I think they're concerned like I would be very concerned right now that there's going to be fuzzy math in these deals, that Barack Obama's not going to be serious about entitlement reform.
Indeed. Such concern is magnified by what happened in December when a budget agreement was made with spending cuts that in the end were far less than advertised.
Having witnessed that seven months ago, fiscally conservative Republicans are saying "No mas," and are finally holding the line.
Whether or not Brzezinki understands this, it is exclusively for the good of the country.
If Mika and her ilk were at all honest about this current impasse, they'd realize the President's insistance that any deal carry the debt ceiling into 2013 has nothing to do with the country's best interest.
This is exclusively political, and a desire on the part of the current White House resident to not have to address this issue in his reelection year.
If Obama was a Republican preventing a short-term fix to this problem exclusively for his own political benefit, Brzezinski and her colleagues would be absolutely skewering him for not thinking "outside the box for the good of the country."
Why the double standard, Mika?

Stan Greenberg, the pollster who aided Bill Clinton's run to the White House in 1992, said he was far more confident about Barack Obama's chances than he was for the last Democratic president 16 years ago. "Everything that I saw has solidified," he said of recent polling. "Every poll that I saw of Obama I looked and said, 'I feel more and more confident.' And I'm beginning to look forward to his presidency. I've never had an election where I worried less about the outcome."

Citation: EBELING, A., BUNDY, L., POWELL, J.M., SATTER, L. DIETARY PHOSPHORUS CONSIDERATIONS IN DAIRY MANAGEMENT. WISCONSIN NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT CURRICULUM. 2003. 4p. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Phosphorus (P) moving from dairy farms to surrounding water bodies has environmental implications. An overabundance of P in lakes and streams causes algae blooms, decreased oxygen supply, and death of fish. With environmental P concerns on the rise, dairy producers will want to be informed about dietary options involving P. This extension publication focuses on environmental consequences of overfeeding P, milk production and reproductive implications of lowering dietary P, and management options for the producer. A goal of dietary P management should be to avoid overfeeding P. Over-feeding P increases the amount of land required for manure application if P-based manure spreading restrictions are in place. It also accelerates the build-up of soil test P levels of fields and increases the amount of P in runoff. Many Wisconsin soils contain more P than is needed for crop production. When manure from dairy cows fed different concentrations of P are land-applied, the high P diet manure releases 4 to 10 more P in runoff than the low P diet manure. While it is important for producers to be concerned about the P content in the manure generated on their dairy farms, they also need to be assured that the dietary P content of the feed is adequate to keep milk production high and ensure reproductive efficiency. The benefits of feeding P at recommended levels must be weighted against the price, convenience, and availability of the feed supplements currently in use on a farm. Many common and affordable protein and mineral supplements contain high levels of P. It will be important for dairy farmers to be informed about the P content of feed in order to make decisions that are mindful of herd production, health, and are economically and environmentally sound.

Hi, I'm Tyrone Solee, the author of this blog. I am a Mathematics degree holder from Ateneo de Manila University, one of the top universities here in the Philippines.
A lot of us are dreamers. We all want to have a comfortable life, to become a millionaire, and to ultimately achieve financial freedom. This is what this blog is all about – to help you achieve your goals, to escape the rat race and to become successful in life.
I started this blog on Nov. 24, 2008 when I was 25 years old. The domain name "Millionaire Acts" originated when I watched the film "The Secret" which talks about the powerful Law of Attraction. Back then, I wanted to become a millionaire. I wanted to know how a 'millionaire acts' so I can be one of them.
As they say, 'the early bird catches the worm'. In my early quest to financial freedom, I started the habit of saving at the age of 21 when I had my first job after graduation. At the age of 22, I already educated myself about financial literacy and started my first investment in a bond fund.
At a young age of 26, I realized my dream of becoming a millionaire after 4 years and 7 months of employment by living below my means and being frugal, investing in UITFs, and most importantly, paying myself first by using the equation INCOME – SAVINGS = EXPENSES each time I get salary income. This is the right way to save your salary wisely.
On September 4, 2012, I had the chance to get interviewed at ANC's personal finance TV show "On The Money".
Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho TV appearance, March 10, 2013
Six months after, the team of Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho invited me again to become a resource person on the segment "Ang Cheap" aired on September 8, 2013.
The video is now available at Youtube and you can watch it below:
Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho TV appearance, September 18, 2013
The replay video of the segment is available below.
Replay of the video below.
On May 21, 2017, I appeared again at Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho on their segment entitled "50 Pesos Challenge". Replay of the video below:
As Warren Buffet said:
"Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving."
"If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need."
On that same year, two months after the Typhoon Ondoy flooded our home, the biggest blessing came when I was able to meet successful bloggers online and eventually ventured into make money online business.
Past is experience, present is experiment. Future is expectation. So better use your experience in your experiment to meet your expectation.
Corporate-wise, my background is both involved in investments and research. I spent the longest (3 years) in an asset management company handling the distressed asset investments of a former global investment banking firm.
Bulk of my career was spent as an underwriter, an analyst where I performed due diligence on several distressed debts and assets composed of non-performing loans and foreclosed idle assets of banks.
The rest of my career was spent as Research Analyst for Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in North America, and as a Senior Research Analyst doing competitive intelligence for a client in the IT industry. If you're interested to view my professional profile, I made one in Linked In here.
In addition, I also look forward to creating a book version of Millionaire Acts so it can reach more people outside of internet, helping them to become more financially literate.
I'm an achiever and a goal-oriented person. Let me share my most favorite quote:
I WILL do today what other people WON'T so that I CAN have tomorrow what other people CAN'T.
The quote above shows the comparison and contrast between will – won't and can – can't. In order to become successful, you need to be different and you must stand out from the rest. You need to do the extraordinary and excel from it.
"The man who has made up his mind to win will never say impossible."
Blogging so far has been the best and greatest thing that happened to me. Millionaire Acts has opened a lot opportunities for me. I met a lot of fellow bloggers. I was invited to become a speaker in a blogging seminar. I conducted my own financial planning seminar. I became a contributor to Good House Keeping Magazine. I was featured in Manila Bulletin and I got invited to attend the first Rich Dad Asia event here in the Philippines. Most of all, I learned how to make money online!

On July 18, 2015, I got the chance to have my first radio guesting at DZME Radyo Uno:
On November 7, I conducted a financial seminar dubbed as "The Mind of a Millionaire" in Cebu.
On November 19, 2016, I was one of the panelists at the Philippine Retail Investors Conference 2016 organized by the CFA Society of the Philippines where we discussed about "Alternative Investments".

Aside from my current interests on entrepreneurship, money management, finance, and investments, I also had some interests on acting and modeling for some diversion before.
I enrolled myself in a runway modeling workshop conducted by one of the modeling agencies to improve confidence and boost self-esteem. I was able to join two fashion shows back then. I even joined several acting workshops to hone my skills when it comes to acting. Below is one of my photos back then.

Thanks for dropping by to my blog. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. This blog is a collection of all my learnings in my quest to escape the rat race and to achieve financial freedom. I am not a financial guru but I can assure you that whatever I write here, I practice it on my own and "I can walk the talk".
Why do we need financial freedom?
Watch the short story presentation below:
If I can do it, you can do it too! Just believe in yourself, be determined, equip yourself with the right mindset and discipline. Take it slowly but surely and in no time, you will also become a millionaire someday! Cheers to future millionaires!
As Robert Kiyosaki says:
The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learn nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money but never learn to have money work for them.

Ralph Wiley, 52; Sportswriter and Author of Books on Race
Ralph Wiley, a leading sportswriter for Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com who was also a well-regarded essayist on race in America, has died. He was 52.
Wiley died Sunday night of heart failure, according to an announcement on ESPN.com. He was stricken at his home in Orlando, Fla., while preparing to watch game four of the NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons.
A regular commentator for ESPN's SportsCenter and a columnist for ESPN.com's Page 2, Wiley started his journalism career at the Oakland Tribune after graduating from Knoxville College in Tennessee with a degree in business management. The Memphis native began as a copy boy and worked his way up to covering the city before landing on the sports desk.
He became a sports columnist for the Tribune and was credited with coining the term "Billy Ball" to describe the style of play favored by Oakland A's manager Billy Martin in the 1980s. That style was primarily about manufacturing runs through aggressive base-running that included frequent attempts to steal home. The term so well captured the phenomenon that it became the advertising theme for the A's and was on all their promotions.
Wiley moved on to Sports Illustrated in 1982 and remained there for nine years, writing more than two dozen cover stories focusing on boxing, baseball and football. He also covered the rape trial of boxer Mike Tyson.
In the late 1980s, Wiley turned most of his attention to writing books, including "Serenity: A Boxing Memoir," which received generally good reviews. As much an autobiography as a survey of the boxing world, the book was written from his boxer uncle Charles' point of view. It was also populated by such noted boxers as Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns.
Wiley's career as a cultural critic picked up in the 1990s with three books on race in America. "Why Black People Tend to Shout: Cold Facts and Wry Views From a Black Man's World" turned what Publishers Weekly called "a perceptive eye on the black experience" in America. The book criticized many aspects of U.S. life, including the proclivity to blame blacks for society's ills. "What do you get out of integration?" he wrote. "You get suspected over everything."
His provocative manner and pointed satire were not universally admired. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Alex Raksin said Wiley's book found "just the right tone" for a discussion of racial issues. But Karin D. Berry, in Emerge magazine, criticized the book for its "detailed, rambling asides that were distracting" and said the essays lacked focus.
Wiley also wrote "What Black People Should Do Now: Dispatches From Near the Vanguard" and "Dark Witness: When Black People Should Be Sacrificed (Again)."
A writer in The Times said essays in "What Black People Should Do Now" "delivered sharp swipes at just about anyone who's lingered a little too long in the public eye: from wildly successful black women writers to the dubious effectiveness of the black leadership to the predominantly white world of publishing and the comparably monochromatic law enforcement/judicial system."
The book included a critical examination of the Tyson and William Kennedy Smith rape trials. "If Mike Tyson cannot force himself on you," Wiley wrote, "but William Kennedy Smith ... can, where's the progress, really?"
"Dark Witness" was notable for its essay ridiculing the authors of "The Bell Curve," which proclaimed blacks intellectually inferior, and for a less than flattering portrait of O.J. Simpson, whom Wiley knew from working at NBC in the late 1980s.
The writer's other books included one with director Spike Lee on the making of the film "Malcolm X." Wiley was also co-author of a biography of baseball player Eric Davis and a memoir by Dexter Scott King.
He is survived by a son and a daughter; and his mother, Dorothy Brown of Washington, D.C.

You are reading O'Reilly XForms Essentials by Micah Dubinko. (What is this?) - Buy XForms Essentials Online
The following sections describe various small tips and tricks—too small individually to be considered a design pattern—for authoring XForms content.
Every XForms document should include enough information to provide a well-though-out navigation sequence, encompassing both form controls and other elements, such as hyperlinks, from the host language. The exact details on how to do this will vary depending on the host language, though XForms provides a sample implementation based on an attribute called navindex.
Form controls that will be frequently accessed should also include a keyboard shorcut; the details of which are again provided by the host language. The following code shows one possible way to accomplish this, in a host language that uses the techniques suggested by XForms.
<input ref="passwd" accesskey="P" navindex="3"> Password: </input>
The least understood model item property in XForms is probably p3ptype. The W3C P3P specification defines a comprehensive set of rules about identifying what kinds of data collection take place on a web site, at a very granular level. P3P includes rules to define such datatypes, but of main interest to XForms authors are the built-in types defined as part of the base data schema.
Adding the p3ptype property during form authoring is easy, and it provides one huge benefit: autofill. Most browsers have adapted to allow the values in forms to be recalled and repopulated later, removing the need to have to re-enter information. This works by looking at the name and label of the form control. In XForms, labels can include markup, or even refer to instance data or other files. And instead of simple names, form controls have an XPath expression. Combined, these aspects make it harder for an XForms browser to tell reliably whether two controls from different forms are really collecting the same data.
P3P datatypes neatly solve this problem. As a model item property, p3ptype associates to the actual data, not to the form control, which is a view on the data. Some examples:
<bind nodeset="first_name" p3ptype="user.name.given"/> <bind nodeset="last_name" p3ptype="user.name.family"/> <bind nodeset="screen_name" p3ptype="user.login.id"/> <bind nodeset="password" p3ptype="user.login.password"/> <bind nodeset="year_of_birth" p3ptype="user.bdate.ymd.year"/> <bind nodeset="home_telephone" p3ptype="user.home-info.telecom.telephone"/> <bind nodeset="company_name" p3ptype="business.name"/> <bind nodeset="spouse_name" p3ptype="thirdparty.name.given"/>
For more details and examples, refer to the P3P specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/.
As of this writing, it is still common for web sites to use forms (usually a drop-list) for navigation purposes. You select something from the list, and you're whisked away to another page. This approach is increasingly unnecessary as XHTML 2.0 advances, such as including a special element nl for navigation lists. In SVG or other languages, it might, at times, still be necessary to use forms for navigation, but the most specific tool available is usually the right one to use. If you have no choice but to use XForms for navigation, code along the following lines will do the trick.
<select1 ref="..." appearance="minimal"> <item> Go to destination 1 <value>...</value> <load ev:event="xforms-select" resource="http://url-for-destination-1" show="replace"/> </item> <item> Go to destination 2 <value>...</value> <load ev:event="xforms-select" resource="http://url-for-destination-2" show="replace"/> </item> </select1>
Some commonly requested features are possible in XForms, though not obviously so. One such task is concatenating a currency symbol to an entered value. As an example, if the user enters "100", the value that ends up in the data should really be "€100". The catch is that if the user gets clever and initially enters "€100", it should still work.
This can be accomplished using the if( ) function:
<bind nodeset="cost" calculate="if( starts-with(€, '?'), ., concat( '?',€ ))"/>
This calculation gets a little confusing with all the dots, which represent the current value. Another way to think of it is as pseudo-code:
if ( current value starts with currency symbol ) return current value else return currency symbol concatenated with current value
Instead of hard-coding a currency symbol, the appended string could easily be taken from elsewhere in the instance data. Accomplishing this is left as an exercise for the reader.
A popular feature in advanced form systems is the ability to perform a lookup based on a remote database. For example, a governmental system might want to call up taxpayer details based on a unique identifier. Privacy issues alone, not to mention sheer size, prevent this from working in the local context. So, what's needed is a way to submit a partially valid form to a server, to get a partial response back.
In XForms, this is possible through the replace attribute on the element submission. A form submission always results in a response. Normally, the response is a new web page to display in place of the form that was just submitted. It is possible, however, to get an XML response back that is used as new instance data for the form—exactly what is needed for database lookups.
One complication is that the form at the time of initiating the lookup might be only partially completed. Normally, this would cause problems on any data items that are considered required. The workaround is to include a special flag that temporarily relaxes required validations, like this:
<model> <instance id="main">...</instance> <bind nodeset="some_data" required="instance('strict_flag')"/> <submission id="send_data" ... /> <submission id="do_lookup" replace="instance" ... /> <instance id="strict_flag"> <flag>true</flag> </instance> </model>
With code such as this in place, a trigger kicks off the database lookup:
<trigger> Lookup <action ev:event="DOMActivate"> <setvalue ref="instance('strict_flag')">false</setvalue> <send submission="do_lookup"/> </action> </trigger>
The sequence of XForms Actions used here first sets the strict flag to false, then submits the data. By referencing the submission element with an ID of do_lookup, the response from the server (which must be XML-suitable as instance data) is used to continue with the form.
Database validations can be achieved in a similar manner, by returning a validity flag in the XML.
Popular search engines pride themselves on a minimal interface—typically just a single entry box with a search button. In most cases, the button isn't even necessary. Just hitting enter in the entry box is enough. This useful functionality, however, has never been standardized before. In fact, one search engine detects that you've pushed the button instead of just hitting enter and responds with a tip, as shown in Figure 10.1, "The unreliable effects of the Enter key".
Tip: For most browsers you can just press the Return or Enter key, instead of clicking on the search button.
In XForms, this can be accomplished reliably. Even better, the solution isn't dependent on the Enter key, so it will work on cell phones, voice browsers, and other such systems.
The answer lies with the DOMActivate event, which occurs for a form control when the Enter key (or some equivalent) is, pressed or activated. XML Events take care of the rest, given code like this:
<input ref="q"> Search <send submission="id_of_submission_element" ev:event="DOMActivate"/> </input>
One consideration for extremely small devices is that even refreshing the display can take long enough that it would be annoying if it happened automatically. In such situations, it is possible to disable all automatic refreshing, instead using a trigger to explicitly refresh on demand.
Through XML Events, it is possible to cancel all xforms-refresh events before they reach their target, which will prevent all automatic refreshes from happening. All that is needed is one extra attribute from XML Events, like this:
<model ev:event="DOMActivate" ev:propagate="stop"> ... </model>
With that change, all that is needed is a trigger to refresh manually:
<trigger> Refresh Display <refresh ev:event="DOMActivate"/> </trigger>

Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a chemical proteomic technique that enables the interrogation of protein activity directly within complex proteomes. Given the dominant role of posttranslational modifications in regulating protein function
The ability to directly monitor protein activity within a native biological system is essential to understanding the dysregulation of proteins in disease. Standard proteomic methods such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry can effectively quantify protein abundance in complex proteomes [
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). (
While useful for
Bioorthogonal Reactions. (
The CuAAC reaction is a derivative of the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition [
The first class of enzymes targeted for ABPP studies were the serine hydrolases (SHs), which comprise a large and diverse family of enzymes that perform numerous roles in physiological (e.g., blood coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis) and pathological (e.g., emphysema, cancer) processes [
CuAAC-compatible ABPs for serine hydrolases. (
Electrophilic groups other than the fluorophosphonate can also be used to covalently modify the active-site serine of SHs. These other serine-reactive electrophiles include nitrophenyl-phosphonate esters (NP), acyloxymethylketones (AOMK) and carbamates. Many ABPs containing these electrophiles have been functionalized with azides or alkynes for "tag-free" ABPP using CuAAC. The NP and AOMK reactive groups have been incorporated into alkyne-functionalized fatty acid-based chemical probes for profiling lipid-associated proteins (
In addition to the lipases, serine proteases have also been targeted by "tag-free" ABPP. Pan serine protease ABPs for in-cell labeling have been developed from the irreversible inhibitor 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride (AEBSF) [
Although the serine hydrolases were the subject of some of the earliest ABPP studies, "tag-free" ABPs are constantly being developed for diverse enzyme families. As with the SH probes, the use of CuAAC in each of these cases improves protein reactivity and cell permeability. One family of enzymes recently targeted by CuAAC-mediated ABPP facilitates studies into the ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) signaling pathways [
The epoxide-containing natural product E-64 has been shown to potently inhibit several papain-like cysteine proteases by alkylating the active site cysteine [
Activity-based probes for diverse enzyme families. (
Outside of the cysteine proteases and ubiquitinating enzymes, several other enzymes with nucleophilic active-site cysteines have been targeted for CuAAC-mediated ABPP. One such family is the protein arginine deiminases (PADs), which catalyze the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline in the presence of calcium [
Cytochrome P450 enzymes are central to the metabolism of numerous drugs, xenobiotics, and endogenous metabolites, and understanding the subset of active P450 enzymes is essential to the drug development process [
Lastly, CuAAC-mediated ABPP has been extended to profile members of the glycosidase family. The exoglycosidase neuraminidase (NA; also known as sialidase) is produced by many pathogens to facilitate invasion and immunological escape [
The design of ABPs typically relies on exploiting the mechanism of enzyme-substrate covalent interactions to irreversibly modify conserved active site nucleophiles [
Photo-crosslinking CuAAC-compatible ABPs. (
This strategy has proved to be highly successful in the design of probes for several different enzyme families. Metalloproteases (MPs) utilize a zinc-activated water molecule for catalysis, and it has been shown that small molecules containing hydroxamic acids (Hx) chelate to the catalytic zinc and bind with high affinity to MP active sites [
A similar strategy was utilized to generate ABPs for the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family. HDACs are known to play a role in cancer but the study of HDAC activity is complicated by the presence of endogenous activating protein complexes that are disrupted upon cell lysis [
A photo-crosslinking ABP for Abelson tyrosine (Abl) kinase was developed from the core structure of Imatinib, an Abl kinase-specific drug for the treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) [
Photo-crosslinking ABPs have also been applied to profile non-enzymatic activities such as that of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel [
Outside of direct ABPP applications, photo-crosslinking CuAAC probes have been utilized to assist in target identification in drug discovery. One such example is the intermembrane aspartyl protease γ-secretase complex that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) into neurotoxic Aβ42 peptides and is therefore a critical target in Alzheimer's therapeutics [
SDS-PAGE and in-gel fluorescence only reveal a fraction of proteins targeted by APBs, and therefore, many mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods have emerged as gel-free alternatives that provide higher resolution and greater sensitivity [
CuAAC-compatible tags for mass-spectrometry applications. (
Upon enrichment of probe-labeled proteins, on-bead trypsin digestion releases all but the probe-labeled peptides, which are selectively released from the beads by treatment with the TEV protease. MS analysis of this peptide mixture identifies the exact site of probe labeling from a complex proteome. This platform has been further modified by incorporating an isotopic label into the TEV linker, affording isotopically light and heavy variants that could be utilized to measure the extent of probe labeling across two different proteomes [
The utility of CuAAC in ABPP is further illustrated in a study that utilizes imaging mass spectrometry to study the distribution of active serine hydrolases in tissue [
CuAAC methods have greatly simplified these applications by circumventing the need to synthesize every ABP with the complex cleavable linkers pre-attached. The advent of CuAAC has resulted in a vastly modular process, where a single ABP can be evaluated through a variety of techniques by appending different tags using CuAAC.
ABPP allows for selective labeling, visualization, and enrichment of active enzymes in a complex proteome. Initial ABPP probes were comprised of a reactive group directly conjugated to a reporter element such as a fluorophore or biotin. These bulky reporter groups precluded the application of ABPP to enzymes with binding sites that were unable to accommodate the reporter, and furthermore limited the use of ABP labeling in live cells and organisms due to the reduced cell permeability of the probe. Upon the advent of bioorthogonal chemistry, several mild and bio-compatible reactions were generated that enabled conjugation of the reporter element

(1st Add: Includes comments from Rep. Chaka Fattah.)
(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), in response to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's comments about President Bush Wednesday, said he is personally offended.
During a speech before the U.N. General Assembly, Chavez said "the devil himself is right in the house," referring to President Bush, who spoke before the world body a day earlier. "Yesterday the devil came here - right here, right here - and it smells of sulfur still today," Chavez added.
But Rangel said neither Chavez nor any other president can come to the United States "and think because we have a problem with our president" that they can denigrate the president and Americans will not be offended.
"You don't come into my country, you don't come into my congressional district, and you don't condemn my president. If there's any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans - whether we voted for him or not," Rangel said.
Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also condemned Chavez's comments at a press conference Thursday.
"Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern day Simon Bolivar but all he is, is an everyday thug," said Pelosi, referring to Bolivar, who led the fight for independence against Spanish rule in several South American countries during the early century.
Hugo Chavez abused the privilege that he had, speaking at the United Nations," said Pelosi, adding that Chavez "demeaned himself and he demeaned Venezuela."
"The statements of President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela at the United Nations in New York yesterday were intemperate and inappropriate," said Rep. Chaka Fattah in a statement.
"His differences with United States policies are well-known, and the United Nations is a forum for airing such policy concerns. But his personal attacks and ridicule directed at the President of the United States are unacceptable," said Fattah.

Piper Micheál to play for gold
MÍCHEÁL Ó Sé, a young piper from Farranfore and a student at Castleisland Community College will be amongst those taking to the stage to compete for the Bonn Oir Sheain Ui Riada / the Seán Ó Riada Gold Medal in a concert to be broadcast live on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta on this Friday, January 18 from 7pm to 9pm.
Micheál will be one of eight pipers in the final, together with seven harpists, who will be performing at the concert final in the Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork on January 18.
Mícheál, 16, is in transition year at the local college, and has been playing since he was eight years old. He has a massive interest in traditional Irish music and is very involved with his local Sliabh Mish Comhaltas branch.
This will be the third year that musicians will compete for the prestigious Seán Ó Riada gold medal, which is run on RnaG trad programme Cuireadh chun Ceoil.
Presenter Peadar Ó Riada took the idea for the competition from his father, the great Seán Ó Riada, who ran a similar competition on his own radio programme in the sixties.
The judges on the night are all respected musicians in their own right - Dublin piper Mick O'Brien, Scottish piper Alan McDonald, and Mayo harpist Laoise Kelly.
On Friday, January 18, they will have the unenviable task of picking one musician from each category - a piper and a harpist - each of whom will receive the Seán Ó Riada gold medal, and a cash prize of €1,250.
Cashel goldsmith Pádraig Ó Mathúna has designed and created the Seán Ó Riada medal, which features a portrait of Seán Ó Riada on one side and an engraving inspired by the Song of Amergin on the other. When the winners have been chosen, Pádraig will then engrave their name on the medal, which will then be coated in gold.
The concert will also be webcast live on www.cuireadhchunceoil.ie

Did a hacker or hackers pull off a huge heist from one of the biggest black market drug-selling sites, or did the operators of the anonymous digital narcotics bazaar, Sheep Marketplace, just get away with stealing at least $5.4 million and perhaps as much as $40 million from their clients?
After the shutdown of Silk Road in October, Sheep Marketplace became the most popular illicit virtual drug shop. Like Silk Road, Sheep Marketplace was a Deep Web site accessible via the Tor network; customers paid in the digital currency Bitcoins. But by Saturday, Tapscape reported, "It appears as though the entire site was a scam, resulting in all of the buyers and sellers losing their money. Concerns regarding the legitimacy of the site came into play once the administrators at the marketplace decided to prevent vendors from withdrawing any of their bitcoins from the site."
Then on Sunday, Sheep Marketplace administrators posted on the homepage:
We are sorry to say, but we were robbed on Saturday 11/21/2013 by vendor EBOOK101. This vendor found bug in system and stole 5400 BTC – your money, our provisions, all was stolen. We were trying to resolve this problem, but we were not successful. We are sorry for your problems and inconvenience, all of current BTC will be ditributed to users, who have filled correct BTC emergency adress. I would like to thank to all SheepMarketplace moderators by this, who were helping with this problem. I am very sorry for this situation. Thank you all.
Forbes' Andy Greenburg reported:
Sheep's owners have used that theft to justify closing the market without returning the bitcoins stored in the market by users, despite claiming that they would redistribute those coins to users' "emergency addresses." Sheep users and other Bitcoin followers on reddit say that the administrators began blocking withdrawals of bitcoins from the site more than a week ago, and may have absconded with as much as $44 million from the site's users, pointing to a movement of 39,900 bitcoins visible in the public record of Bitcoin transactions known as the blockchain.
Sheep Marketplace is being called the "biggest Darknet scam ever" by some roaringly-angry robbed people and DeepDotWeb is warning, "Let us remind you that we have recently published a claim from one of the Sheep old moderator[s] warning that the same owner is planning a second scam – so we urge you to think twice before trusting another marketplace, especially those who are recommended by the sheep staff."
Sheep Marketplace linked to a new drug bazaar, Tormerket, in their "Sheep is down" message. But the Tormerket operators said, "First of all, we are not associated with the sheep team. The sheep admin is linking us on their frontpage. This is the worst PR we can get right now. Please admin remove the link. Please. And most important thing: delete all data and backups to keep the users safe."
"A site called Black Market Reloaded stopped letting new users register on 1 December saying it could not handle the influx of users caused by the closure of Sheep," added BBC.
The text-only site SheepMarketplaceScam.com started spreading the word on 11/27 that Sheep could be a scam. The Daily Dot added, "Most damning, several vendors who are admins, moderators, or closely affiliated with admins, are reported to have suddenly started doing something which is very frequently seen in drug market cons: Offering far larger quantities than they ever have before, at unusually low prices (50% or less than their previous pricing), and requiring FE (immediate and upfront release of funds to them rather than going through escrow). Frequently done to rope in the maximum amount of hopeful suckers before bailing with the money."
Meanwhile, reddit user sheeproadreloaded2 is chasing "the scoundrel with our stolen (96,000) bitcoins through the blockchain."
The Secret Service and FBI have offered no comment on whether the feds seized the Bitcoins, or if they are "investigating fraud allegations." Yet it seems unlikely that dealers and buyers of illicit drugs on a black market site would lodge complaints with the feds. This theft, either by the operators or by a hacker as the admins claim, highlights some of the most disturbing problems with doing business over the Deep Web.

CHANGES planned for Queensland's worker's compensation scheme will target "outlandish claims", Treasurer Tim Nicholls says.
The business community is hoping for the introduction of thresholds for common law claims and the abolition of journey claims.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie is set to bring his proposed changes to Cabinet today.
More than 80pc of Queenslanders against compo changes
Travel compo in doubt for Queensland workers
Compensation payouts big enough to pay-off a house
Man claims compo after penis swells on flight
If successful, they could come before State Parliament as early as this week.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls on Sunday stressed no decisions had been made, with the Government still considering its position on a Parliamentary committee's recommendation that the scheme remain largely unchanged.
But he said the government wanted to quash the ability for employees to make "outlandish claims".
"I'd simply say to people take it easy, take it calmly and wait for the government's response," he said.
"A lot of people are jumping the gun at the moment - no response has been formulated or finalised by the government, we'll do that by the end of the year."
Lawyers and unions have warned the introduction of thresholds - which could prevent employees with an injury assessed at a level of permanent impairment between zero and five per cent from pursuing common law claims - would leave thousands of workers unfairly disadvantaged.
But some sections of the business community say such a move would help dramatically reduce premiums.
Mr Nicholls said the State Government would be seeking a balance between providing protection and compensation and "ensuring business is not overly penalised".
"You've seen reports in recent times about some quite outlandish claims being made and I think that's what the government's taking into account," he said.
Mr Bleijie has until November 23 to reveal any changes and respond to the parliamentary committee's report.
Tensions over his looming decision have even put MPs in the firing line.
The Courier- Mail obtained a letter sent to one MP by a lawyer and constituent threatening to do everything in their power to ensure the MP was not re-elected if the WorkCover scheme was altered.
"If these anticipated changes are brought in, I will do my very best to ensure that your career…is a short one," the constituent wrote.
"If your government shows that it does not have the strength to stand up to this pressure, or for some ideological or other reason, introduces changes to restrict the entitlements of Queensland workers to pursue claims for damages because of the negligence of their employers, I will do everything I can to ensure you are not elected at the next election."
Mr Bleijie said it was not an isolated incident.
"I am aware of other MPs who have received a similar approach by personal injury lawyers on this issue," he said.

Westfield ponders $1.3bn plunge in English Midlands
Page Tools
Westfield Group is understood to be close to making its first stand-alone European acquisition with a £500 million-plus ($1.28 billion) offer for the private property retailer Chelsfield.
Although Westfield's directors declined to comment on the speculation, analysts said the purchase in England would be positive for the group.
London's Daily Telegraph reported on the weekend that Chelsfield, the property company taken private by its founder Elliott Bernerd earlier this year, had rejected an offer of £500 million from Multiplex and was waiting for Westfield to make a counter-bid.
The report said a deal was expected to be worth about £2 billion after including Chelsfield's debt.
Westfield's managing directors Steven and Peter Lowy said last month at an operations update that Europe was a focus for the newly merged group. An executive close to Chelsfield was quoted as saying last week that Westfield was particularly interested in Chelsfield's Merry Hill regional shopping centre in the West Midlands, which could be expanded.
Westfield has a small presence in the UK, but wants to buy more retail portfolios for redevelopment.
The UK market is similar to the US, with the majority of shopping malls privately owned, whereas in Australia they are dominated by Westfield and listed property trusts.
However, Westfield will need to win the support of David and Simon Reuben, the billionaire Russian metal traders who control 35 per cent of Chelsfield after backing Mr Bernerd when he took the company private.
They are believed to favour a break-up of Chelsfield, which could give them a quick return on their £140 million investment.
Chelsfield is already taking advantage of high asset prices by selling the most valuable parts of its portfolio, including the Wentworth golf club in Surrey.
A bidding battle has developed around the club, with minority shareholder Eddy Shah, the former newspaper proprietor, resigning as director of the club, claiming Chelsfield has blocked shareholders from matching the £110 million offer from Richard Caring, the clothing entrepreneur.
Westfield securities closed down 7c to $15.32.

What makes cycling beautiful is the contrast between the joy of winning and the pain of trying to survive. I had the joy on Saturday but Sunday and Monday were about fighting through big mountain stages, trying to get to the finish within the time cut. In the mountains, although we are a long way behind, the sprinters at least are making the same effort as the leaders.
There are guys in the back group who are taking it a little bit easy, saving something for another day, but I have to go full gas as my heart-rate isn't much lower than that of one of the front-runners. It is a big change from last week. I was really psyched up for the full seven days and that takes a lot out of you, but it is part of the job. I have had the elation, now I have had the slog.
One thing I have learned since last year's Tour is not to be scared of the mountains. It is so easy to quit if you are afraid but, if you simply accept that you have to do it, you can get through. A 17-kilometre climb like the Tourmalet can seem never ending but you have to get it into your head that you know it's going to end and then it will be over.
You keep constant track of the kilometre signs as you go up, although that can be demoralising if you have the team radio in your earpiece and you know where the leaders are. Going up the Tourmalet, I heard the team manager telling Kim Kirchen, "Only 500m to the top, Kim," but I had seven kilometres to go and I just thought, "Oh God, that's going to take me about 20 minutes."
You are never lonely on a climb in the Tour and that helps, because the sense of loneliness can be a mental factor, encouraging you to stop. Even if there are no team-mates with you, there is the crowd. I was in a lot of pain on Monday after my crash but I had Bernard Eisel with me, which gave me a wheel to follow. He had fallen off the day before, so his back was bad, but he helped all the same.
I've got some cuts and bruises myself but I thought it was worse initially. All I remember is riding along at about 45kph in one line, out of the saddle - the next thing my front wheel had gone from under me and I was doing a "table top" in the air. I thought I had done some damage because I took a few seconds to get up - normally I'm straight back up - and my bike was in bits.
Later I learned that a football had been rolling down the road, no one had shouted and I had hit it. After that I was flat-out chasing all day. I got the wounds dressed by the race doctor and he gave me a painkiller. I reacted badly, had an upset stomach and had no power. It was that kind of day; I got through, just about.
Today's stage shouldn't be a sprint finish, although it is not as severe as Sunday and Monday were. There is one mountain, first-category, but we should be able to get over it and stay within the time limit. There are three days after that - Thursday, Friday and Saturday - that should be good for me but it is a matter of how the stages pan out because the tactics have changed now.
It is pretty clear which riders are in the mix for the overall and there are a lot of riders in the field who are more than 20 minutes down. That means they can get away, and in theory the teams with riders in the overall won't be interested. We have Kim going for a podium place, so I can't expect the team to work all day to keep the race together.
If it comes to a sprint we will give it 100% but it will depend what kind of breaks get away. It would be nice to get a third stage win, which is something no British cyclist has ever achieved in one Tour, but two is good already and, if I can get to Paris, that will mean I can finish on a high.

4A, 3-2-1A wrestling: El Dorado brothers go 1 for 2
SALINA It was a family affair with nearly a perfect ending.
El Dorado brothers Austin and Reno Hughey reached the finals of the Class 4A wrestling tournament on Saturday, but only one was a state champion.
Reno, a freshman in the 113-pound class, lost by disqualification with 13 seconds left in the third period against Cesar Regalado from Pratt. Five matches later, though, Austin claimed his first state championship in the 145-pound match, 9-1 over Patrick Weaver from Hugoton.
Austin Hughey was second last season as a junior.
"It made me work even harder after getting second last year to come back this year and win it," Austin Hughey said.
The brothers were two of the three wrestlers in the finals for El Dorado, which finished sixth as a team with 78 points. Bryce Morgan reached the 126-pound final, losing 7-3 to three-time state champ and Newman University signee Dustin Reed from Colby.
Holton won the team title with 104.5 points, Colby was second with 96 and Andale placed third with 90.5.
The Hughey brothers both reaching the finals was a nice surprise for El Dorado, as Austin was a bigger favorite to reach the championship then Reno, who pulled a couple upsets in the first two rounds.
"I work hard with him a lot because I want him to be successful," Austin said of his brother. "It just shows how hard he works. He upset two really good wrestlers."
The older Hughey jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on a takedown, then cruised to the end by extending his lead through the second and third period.
Reno had a close match going against Regalado. Warned for pulling on Regalado's headgear earlier in the match, the referee disqualified Reno after a third time.
"He had his third technical because he kept pulling on my headgear," Regalado said. "He just said it was over because that was the last one."
The championship match was Regalado's third win over Reno Hughey this season.
For Andale, the Indians brought five wrestlers and coming into Saturday's action held a slight lead in the team standings. A push by Holton, getting a strong performance in consolation matches, was enough to help them push ahead the rest of the way.
"It was a good day for us," Andale coach Brad Lies said. "We just came in a little short. It would have been nice if we could have got two more in just to try and sneak a couple points here and there."
Andale had one state champion, as Levi Eck won the 182-pound title by pinning Colton Cooper of Goodland in 1 minute, 35 seconds. It was Eck's second title after he won the 170 title last year. He was runner-up at 145 as a sophomore and third at 125 as a freshman.
"I kind of expected to win, but you can't go out there too confident, because you could end up getting upset," Eck said. "I was happy with it. It's been fun."
Andale's Kyle Armstrong finished second at 160 pounds.
Oriole goes perfect — A second-place finish last year as a freshman was all the motivation Augusta's Jake Goldenstein needed. The 106-pounder finished off a 43-0 mark with a 2-0 win over Josiah Seaton of Bonner Springs. Goldenstein got a takedown in the first period.
"There was a little bit of pressure, but I just had to go out there and perform," he said.
Worth noting — Buhler's Jake Gehring finished his senior season in second place at 152. It was his second loss as he fell to Bonner Spring's Jonathan Blackwell 5-3.… Smoky Valley senior Trevor Whittaker ended his career on top of the 170-pound weight class with a 6-3 decision against Colby's Andrew Taylor. The state title was Whittaker's first and it was also the first wrestling championship in school history.
Class 3-2-1A
Halstead senior Alex Thibault completed a 46-1 season by defeating Regis Weiss of Russell in the 152-pound final at the Class 3-2-1A tournament on Saturday in Hays.
Thibault, named regional wrestler of the year by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association, needed 58 seconds to pin Oberlin's Kade Brown in the morning semifinals.
The Wichita area's only other champion was Clay Wilcox of Chaparral, who won the 285-pound final in a 2-1 overtime decision over Bradey Chard of Plainville. Wilcox, a senior, was 42-2 this season.
Sedgwick senior Nic Johnson finished second at 145 pounds, losing a 20-8 decision to Rossville's Tagen Lambotte, a junior who finished 41-1 and defended his championship. Johnson finished 36-7.
Douglass senior Ryker Greenbaum lost 3-2 in the 220-pound championship match to Hoxie's Kane Washington. Greenbaum finished the season 39-2.
Chaparral has the Wichita area's best team finish with 35 points, good for a 13th-place tie. Lyons had 27 points, Douglass 26 and Halstead 25.

Two boys are born the same day, January 1, 1900, on the same Italian estate—one the grandson of a noble peasant, the other the grandson of a weak-willed aristocrat. One will grow into a rabble-rousing Communist, leading his extended family through strikes and the upheaval of Mussolini's rise; the other will grow into an ineffectual fop who sits on his hands as the fascists take over. Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900, a Marxist epic that's one part grandeur to two parts folly, posits the lives of these two characters as nothing less than the symbolic tussle for the soul of Italy in the first half of the 20th century. (And in case the point is missed, the two are shown literally tussling throughout the ages.) It is not, by even the most generous possible metric, a subtle piece of work, and certainly far from the standard set by Bertolucci's 1970 masterpiece The Conformist, which sketches a fascist stooge similar to the aristocrat with a more delicate hand. But 1900 intends a much larger vision of the country's political evolution, one that has more in common with the revolutionary silent films that came out of Russia in the '20s or even D.W. Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation. It views history through the broadest possible lens.
After its première at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, 1900 suffered its own epic tussle between Bertolucci and producer Alberto Grimaldi, who was contractually obligated to deliver a 195-minute version to Paramount Pictures and booted Bertolucci from the editing room to achieve it. It was eventually released at 245 minutes, still butchered from the original 317-minute behemoth, which was finally revived and rereleased (with an NC-17 rating) in America in two parts and now comes to Blu-ray at that same length unrated. The Bertolucci cut is, by and large, a cohesive piece of storytelling, but it's nonetheless an unwieldy blob, with flashes of brilliance scattered between the many grueling longueurs. It goes Icarus as only a film from the auteur '70s can.
The two families in conflict are the Berlinghieris and the Dalcòs, the former wealthy landowners and the latter peasant workers on the Berlinghieris' plantation. After nearly 90 minutes documenting their childhood on the estate, Robert De Niro and Gérard Depardieu play a grown-up Berlinghieri and Dalcò, respectively, each having risen to the status of patriarch. The two maintain a tenuous friendship throughout the years—getting a simultaneous handjob from an epileptic hooker is nothing if not a bonding experience—but the rise of the fascists, to say nothing of the beautiful Dominique Sanda, drives a wedge between them. Though De Niro doesn't take an actively oppressive role as "padrone" (master) of the Berlinghieri family, his passivity allows a sadistic foreman, played by a sneering Donald Sutherland, to bring in his black-shirt buddies and impose fascist rule over the estate. The end of World War II brings with it a retribution that sweeps all parties up in historical forces much larger than themselves.
The first part of 1900, before the war and before De Niro's disastrous marriage to Sanda, is considerably more compelling than the second, which gets bogged down by suffocating scenes of domestic turmoil. With characters this broadly and programmatically drawn, it's always better when Bertolucci works on a large canvas, making full use of cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and composer Ennio Morricone for great sequences like the peasants gathering forces to stop a brigade of armed strike-breakers, or the Dalcòs finally taking up pitchforks against the fascists on Liberation Day. There's a shred of complexity, too, in De Niro's performance as a spineless man who wants to be friends with all parties, but winds up alienating them with his neutrality. But Bertolucci's failure to develop his characters beyond insultingly simple types becomes a deeper problem in the film's second part, which is dominated by clunky interiors before concluding with Depardieu just laying out the film's politics directly to the camera. By then, after 300 didactic minutes, every bullet point in the speech is redundant.
Key features: The third disc in the three-disc package has the lone supplement, an illuminating hourlong compilation of Bertolucci interviews called "Bernardo Bertolucci: Reflections On Cinema."

Decision makers
Commit to Vote in 2010
In 2008, Americans in record numbers voted for change.
But the health insurance companies, the Wall Street banks, and the special interests are already eyeing this November's elections as an opportunity to put their allies back in power. Many Republican candidates have openly promised to run on a platform to repeal health reform, and roll back the progress that President Obama has made so far.
It will be up to each of us to support President Obama and keep the country moving forward by working to support Democratic candidates.
Commit to do your part this election season by voting in 2010.
I commit to support President Obama and keep the country moving forward by working to support Democratic candidates. I'll do my part this election season and vote!

Wonder is in us—you might say—a record of the way we were made. It is a well, which is completely full of all the things you will ever learn.
In wonder lays the source of all that we'll ever learn or feel. Knowledge, which is derived from wonder, is unhappy unless it relates itself to other knowledge. And this relation of knowledge to knowledge is what you might call, a sense of order; a sense of the position of this knowledge in relation to other things around.
When we get a sense of order—not just knowledge or information—then we are very happy.We wink at wonder and say, "How am I doing, wonder?"
Because wonder is activated by this knowledge and better still, by this sense of order. And wonder becomes more reachable, more full of that of which we were made.

Yes...9nce master service agrement is sign, this client gives company a vendor id by whoch they can do business. As this is very big client, to get vendor is is practically very difficult and that's why I want to buy it
Thank you for you quick response. Can I create a leagal document where I can say the all the profit and loss for the petticoat client is mine, in other words I want to own her client business while she owns the company
She cannot sell business because it is pretty big but she doesn't have bandwidth to give justice to client, how will I just buy asset in wa state
In an asset purchase, you are acquiring specific assets belonging to the corporation, therefore title to the assets changes from the corporation to the purchaser. The purchased assets could compromise all of the assets and undertaking of the business, or they may consist of select assets.
Here, there is flexibility as to which assets may be acquired and which liabilities of the business may be assumed. A purchaser could choose to purchase only assets and not assume any liabilities of the business.
However, in a share purchase, a purchaser cannot select which assets it wishes to purchase and which liabilities it wishes to assume. It must acquire the entire undertaking of the corporation, since ownership of the corporation's shares ultimately result in indirect ownership all of the corporation's assets and undertaking, including liabilities.
This agreement ("Agreement) is made this {date} of {month}, {year}, by and between {name of seller}, hereinafter known as "Seller," and {name of buyer}, hereinafter known as "Buyer," for the purchase of {business name}, hereinafter known as the "Business," and all related assets.
Buyer and Seller both agree to the following provisions as conditions for the sale of the Business:
1. Purchase Description-Assets and Liabilities
Buyer is purchasing the following assets from Seller:
{Here is where the assets should be listed. If this is simply a sale of assets, and Seller is retaining name rights only to the business/corporation, please note that here. Otherwise, make a list, including value, of each asset which will be sold to the Buyer from the Seller. If necessary, reference "schedules," or attachments, and include them with this document, with the understanding that both parties are signing off on the schedules as well as the provisions listed here. The list of assets may be done in any way, but a convenient method might be to include a simple table with the details. See sample table below.}
Customer accounts
Rental Properties
Intellectual Property
{also be sure to include, if applicable, that Buyer will receive title(s) to any properties the Seller will be purchasing, as well as how the transfer of customer accounts, if any, will proceed}
{after listing the assets, you must also include a list of liabilities, if any, that the Buyer will be assuming from the Seller. Again, using a table is an efficient way to accomplish this task.}
Advertising Contract
Equipment Rental Contract
2. Purchase Price
Owing to the total value of the assets and liabilities listed in Section 1, as well as{any other considerations that fall within the purchase price}, the total purchase price of the Business is {amount in dollars}, which will be paid in the following manner:
{here you outline the details of the payment plan, including whether it will be paid in cash, in installments, whether interest and/or late fees will be added, etc.}
3. Competition
Seller agrees that for a period of {length of time}, {he/she} will not engage in any activities related, directly or indirectly, to the Business, and will not attempt to solicit business or services from any customers, clients, etc. who originally were such during the Seller's ownership of the Business. This non-compete clause applies to {name the geographic region, such as the state, tri-state area, nation, etc.}.
4. Indemnity
If either party is found to be in breach of this Agreement, the offending party will indemnify the offended party for any legal fees accrued as a result of the breach. Lost profits incurred as a result of any such breach {will/will not} be repaid by the offending party.
5. Severability
Should any provision in this Agreement be deemed in some way invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain intact and enforceable by law.
6. Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws and regulations of the state of {State Name}.
Both parties agree to the provisions listed above, as well as any applicable schedules or attachments included with this Agreement.
Signed this {date} of {month}, {year}.

Project DescriptionThe Villa Matti is designed to not look like the public housing it is. Thirty six 1-Bedroom / 1-Bath rental apartments for Senior Citizens typically feature large corner windows to accentuate the average 514 SF per unit. This is a U.S. / H.U.D. housing project.
The stepped features of the floor plan was an effort to design each unit with as much view as possible in this dense urban neighborhood. Even apartments at the rear offer peek-a-boo views of the surrounding cityscape.. Nine different apartment plans also insure that this is not cookie cutter design.
The building is designed to acknowledge the city's rich architectural history while ensuring that this is a design very much of our own time.. Contemporary influences of 'Miami Beach whimsy' include the random pattern of fixed and operable windows, the chamfered columns on the first floor and the jauntily angled tops of the front and side elevations and the indented light-well..
Communal spaces include a first floor lobby and exterior courtyard plus a rooftop deck and social room.. Although the client decided not to apply for LEED certification, the building incorporates 'green' planning with concrete sunshades; daylighting at all common areas including corridors, porous paving blocks throughout the exterior of the first floor, low VOC paint and provision on the roof for future installation of solar panels..
Restrictive budgetary limitations were successfully approached by developing the design of the building directly with the structure.. The design is composed of the inter-weaving of the building's elements: the vertical mass of the stair tower and the continuous concrete sunshades. The structure is the design.

Oily the eagle flies free again
He was one of the most difficult cases Bird TLC had ever seen, but left a mark on the center no bird has before
HAINES – Eagles are the symbol of freedom and they're meant to soar in the wild, free from any restraints. Sometimes they run into trouble, however, and it's usually at the hands of humans.
An eagle that was recently brought to an Anchorage rehabilitation center is one of the most difficult cases the Bird Treatment and Learning Center has ever seen. But he left a mark on the center no bird ever has before.
Tucked away in the pristine beauty of the Chilkat Valley is a remote place where eagles soar and people flock. Thanks to the latest salmon run in North America, every winter comes the largest gathering of bald eagles in the world.
Every November, Haines hosts a Bald Eagle Festival. This year is the 20th year, and the weeklong event culminates with an eagle release.
This year it's extra special. Some of the people traveled more than 700 miles to watch a special bird fly back into the wild. Over the past 10 months, they fell in love with the eagle as they nursed him back to health.
At Bird TLC, the center sees about 800 birds every year. Their injuries range from broken wings to abandoned baby birds. But last February, a mystery arrived at their door. A bald eagle from Kodiak came in covered with some sort of sticky mess. The wildlife officer who found him thought it was oil.
"We used Dawn. You've seen the wildlife commercials, Dawn gets that stuff off," said Heather Merewood of Bird TLC. "We gave him a nice Dawn bath and the water washed off clear."
After a number of baths, the sticky stuff remained. Frustrated, Bird TLC clipped some of the bird's feathers and sent them to a lab. It turned out the bird was covered in something humans thought was harmless to leave outside uncovered.
"I don't know what happened with this guy, why he ended up in a bucket of linseed oil," Merewood said. "Why there was a bucket of linseed oil sitting out? If there was a fish in it … I don't know but he was covered from head to toe in what we think is linseed oil."
It took several more baths for volunteers to wash bird 13-05 clean. Bird TLC sticks to numbers to keep emotions out of the equation.
"I think everybody gets attached to all of them a little bit, but this guy in particular cause he was the problem child," Merewood said. "What's going on? This isn't fish oil, what's going on with this guy?"
Then something happened that has never happened to a bird headed back to the wild at the rehabilitation center.
"You do get some birds where they have an interesting story and they end up with nicknames," she said. "So yeah, this is Oily."
Soon Oily was healthy enough to start flying again. Nine months later he was clean, molted and flying again. It was almost time to kick Oily out of the nest. Back in Haines, Oily's most dedicated volunteers bid for the chance to release him back into the wild.
"Oily is a special bird," said volunteer Cathy Loughlin. "But there were times when people thought that he may not be releasable."
Loughlin traveled 775 miles and paid $200 to release Oily. She was nervous, and wondered if all the hard work would pay off. After months of rehab, was Oily strong enough to fly away?
In just seconds, Oily flapped his wings and flew away. For bird lovers, it was the perfect moment. They may never see Oily again, but volunteers know the bald eagle is back where he belongs: Soaring the sky with other eagles — a symbol of freedom back in his place.

White shingles, white rooftops, less fossil fuels, less climate impact.
Whether re-roofing or installing the first roof on a new home, one important consideration is color. Along with roof texture, roof color is a major aesthetic component of a building. However, for many consumers appearance may be trumped by energy conservation in these days of green construction. National Geographic reports light-colored shingles reduce annual cooling costs by 10 percent to 20 percent in hot climates. Does this Spark an idea?

How Painting Roofs White Can Help Turn Off The World For A Year
Im drawn to boring ways to change energy use: things like daylighting, reducing packaging, and making company supply-chains more efficient. Without these methods to help reduce our energy demand, the exciting solutions like renewable energy are less valuable.
And what could be more boring than painting a roof white? Turns out, its also an important solution for reducing energy use and lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
A NASA survey of New York Citys rooftops last July showed that dark, heat-absorbing rooftops were up to 42 degrees F hotter than white rooftops. And that difference in heat can make a big difference in on-site energy use; painting a roof white can reduce air conditioning demand as much as 20 percent.

2. There are chemicals that make dark roofs more efficient
BASF makes a black pigment that reflects heat well, and the army has had "solar heat reflective" paints that make green reflect like white.
I wonder what the performance of sand-colored roofing is like compared to white and black? White performs well but it's ugly. I sold roofing for many years. We got four skids of white shingles when we went to GAF roofing. When I left five years later we had those same four skids. No one wanted them. OTOH we sold so much black I had the SKU (929-291) memorized. Sand seems like a good compromise between performance and curb appeal.

figure that out.

5. That was my question
Would it make sense to repaint the roof twice a year?
And if a house is in an area where it's hot in the summer and snowy in the winter, would a white roof help retain snow and thereby keep the house warmer?

6. Let me think about that a bit more, if you save 20 percent in the summer... depending on the
temp swings..... you should lose 20 percent in the winter, unless of course your roof is covered with snow much of the time, then you have an insulation barrier that should be a bit warmer than the surrounding air..... I'm gonna have to bow out on that, don't know enough about it to say.

7. I don't think the math is that simple
Photoperiod and the angle of the sun would be two factors that would make a big difference in the amount of heat entering through the roof during different seasons. It also seems like factors other than the type of roof, such as types of windows, aspect, surrounding vegetation, surface/volume ratio, and construction would come into play.
But yeah, that's just me trying to think about it and not from any kind of knowledge base.
