Re: Oracle Connection problem: Unable to open library975714 Jan 16, 2013 12:38 PM (in response to 975714)In addition, when I remove entry from tnsname.ora it throws ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified exception. So that indicates that it finds tns entry, but like there is something wrong with SystemDSN, service or smth else. But, on the other hand, that DSN works fine with SQL Developer.
Also, with ttIsql utility I'm able to connect to DSN:

Could you please post the code you use and the exact error which you get. Additionally, please check the env variables, like CLASSPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and etc. like here(java.sql.SQLException: Problems with loading native library/missing methods
Also "Verify that either the entry in the tnsnames.ora file is associated with a TimesTen DSN or service_name in the Easy Connect string is set to a TimesTen DSN." (http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/timesten/odpnet/readme.htm)

private OracleConnection GetConnection(String connStr)
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(connStr);
return con;
*Exception is thrown at con.Open();
I executed ttEnv.bat and maualy added LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that should not be a problem because TimesTen is working fine in other tools (SQL Developer, ttIsql utility,...).
What does it mean "associated with a TimesTen DSN"? I enetered name of my SystemDSN (used by other tools) in tnsname entry as SERVICE_NAME attrubute. I also tried with ezconnect but same thing happens.

If John McCain thought he was running against a young 'un in last year's race against Barack Obama, wait until he sees the guy some Democrats say might take him on next year for the U.S. Senate.
There's talk that Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman — a 31-year-old hyper-energetic first-term council member — could very well carry the flag for Dems in a race many see as a cinch for ol' Mac.
Seems that Glassman, with his eyes on a higher prize than representing Tucson's Ward 2, has two main options before him should he choose to run for statewide office in 2010.
Initially, Glassman's quest seemed to be for secretary of state, the state's No. 2 office and a steppingstone to the governor's office for many of its holders.
But lately the talk is all about this rising star challenging McCain, a fourth-term incumbent and former presidential candidate.
Why? Well, the theory is that Glassman, whose family owns a successful fertilizer business in Fresno, would have one big advantage over other Democrats — namely, money. Plenty of it.
And Democrats generally think McCain's national ambitions and his recent voting record, like opposing Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, will catch up with him in a growing, heavily Hispanic state like Arizona.
Of course, that ignores the fact that McCain carried the state in last year's presidential election by nine points. And sorry, but Glassman isn't exactly Obama. Republicans say many Arizonans — particularly Democrats and independents — may not have wanted McCain to be president.
But they may be just fine with him as our senior senator.
Realists submit this: So Glassman runs and loses. So what? Even if he does just OK, he's still in his early 30s and could find himself showered with national coverage of the race.
It's a roll of the dice. See, that theory relies on Glassman, unknown to most Arizonans west of Craycroft Road, not getting pummeled.
Glassman himself has been mum about his plans. He says he's focused on his job on the council — but he won't commit to serving out his full term.
But he's not too focused on his council job, considering he's been out of town for the last two months learning to become a lawyer in the Air Force Reserve, and isn't expected back for another two months.
He did not return calls from Notebook on Friday.
But don't be shocked if sometime over the next few months you see the launch of a Glassman campaign of some kind.
It may just be a matter of filling in the blank.
Pitchforks and torches
Southern Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has a new loyal following — but not the one she probably hoped for when she ran for office in 2006.
Conservative activists, opposed to the Democrats' health-care proposals, are jumping at the chance to confront the second-term Democrat and vent their frustrations.
But for now, Giffords is not interested in engaging with people who her staff says are using "manipulation" and "racism" to spread their message.
"Yelling and screaming is counterproductive," she told the Sierra Vista Herald at a Congress on Your Corner event last week. There, one visitor dropped a gun at the meet 'n' greet held in a Douglas Safeway, her staff says.
That has aides, who called police to the event, concerned for her safety.
"We have never felt the need before to notify law enforcement when we hold these events," said spokesman C.J. Karamargin.
Such activists are showing up at Democratic events coast to coast, including a recent one held by Northern Arizona congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick.
But the leader of the Tucson movement, Trent Humphries, a former legislative candidate, says Giffords is lying. He says his followers have no intention of hurting her. And they're not racists, he said.
"Nobody is threatening Gabby," Humphries said. "But she does need to get in front of her constituents and answer to her constituents."
Her staff says she's done that.
Before this organized movement against Democrats started, Giffords held a health-care town hall early this summer that drew more than 1,000 people.
And just this month she held a tele-town hall, with 5,000 invited guests from her district on the line.
The more important point? What Giffords actually decides to do if there's a vote on health-care reform. Despite Humphries' claims that Giffords supports the Democratic reforms, she's stopped short of saying that.
It's that vote that could determine whether this frantic crowd — or angry health-care reformers in her own party — are the ones following this Blue Dog around T-town.
A bundle of bills
A review by the Arizona Capitol Times found state Rep. Jonathan Paton, a Tucson Republican, had more legislation signed into law this year than any other member of the Legislature. Fourteen bills.
Whether that's a good thing … guess that depends on who you talk to.
Democrats are livid over legislation that shakes up the city's election system.
Republicans, meanwhile, are dreaming about putting Paton in Congress.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Coraline lives with her preoccupied parents in part of a huge old house--a house so huge that other people live in it, too... round, old former actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and their aging Highland terriers ("We trod the boards, luvvy") and the mustachioed old man under the roof ("'The reason you cannot see the mouse circus,' said the man upstairs, 'is that the mice are not yet ready and rehearsed.'") Coraline contents herself for weeks with exploring the vast garden and grounds. But with a little rain she becomes bored--so bored that she begins to count everything blue (153), the windows (21), and the doors (14). And it is the 14th door that--sometimes blocked with a wall of bricks--opens up for Coraline into an entirely alternate universe. Now, if you're thinking fondly of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you're on the wrong track. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is far darker, far stranger, playing on our deepest fears. And, like Roald Dahl's work, it is delicious.
What's on the other side of the door? A distorted-mirror world, containing presumably everything Coraline has ever dreamed of... people who pronounce her name correctly (not "Caroline"), delicious meals (not like her father's overblown "recipes"), an unusually pink and green bedroom (not like her dull one), and plenty of horrible (very un-boring) marvels, like a man made out of live rats. The creepiest part, however, is her mirrored parents, her "other mother" and her "other father"--people who look just like her own parents, but with big, shiny, black button eyes, paper-white skin... and a keen desire to keep her on their side of the door. To make creepy creepier, Coraline has been illustrated masterfully in scritchy, terrifying ink drawings by British mixed-media artist and Sandman cover illustrator Dave McKean. This delightful, funny, haunting, scary as heck, fairy-tale novel is about as fine as they come. Highly recommended. (Ages 11 and older) --Karin Snelson
The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one window and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close, The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different....
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.
Performed by Neil Gaiman With original music by The Gothic Archies

Guess where I'm drinking rosé on a hot, hot day?
Lori Midson
"When did Denver's climate become Kenya?" quipped a friend, who was dripping -- as we all were -- with sweat. The heat, by just about anyone's standards, is insufferable, but a cold glass of rosé, or, in this case, four, in an air-conditioned bar, provided a bit of temporary relief, lasting just long enough to dry off.
Can you guess where I'm drinking?

Labor's electoral hopes may partly hang on changes to private school funding, reports Shane Green.
In his 2001 book What Did You Learn Today?, Mark Latham tells of a meeting of his local ALP branch where a government school teacher moved a series of motions on education.
As he tells it, none concerned improvements to government schools. "Every motion was an attempt to hold back non-government schools," he writes. Latham argues that diversity is not highly valued in the Australian education debate, and he goes on to put the case for a needs-based funding system.
For private schools, this book assumed a new importance when Latham became Labor leader. Here was a potential prime minister who valued the ethos of choice in education, the value that underpins the existence of private schools and which is championed by Prime Minister John Howard.
But what of a needs-based funding system? How would that translate into Commonwealth funding? Who would be the winners and losers?
Last week, Latham and education spokeswoman Jenny Macklin announced the first key element of the policy: under Labor, total funding to private schools would remain the same.
But there was a critical rider: funds would shift from wealthy schools to those judged needy. "Over-resourced" schools were named: The King's School and Trinity Grammar. (The announcement was to a Sydney audience - in Melbourne, substitute schools such as Geelong Grammar and Wesley.)
Macklin says that "the vast majority of non-government schools will benefit".
At this point, among the winners are the smaller and often newer Christian schools, one of the growth sectors in private education. "I actually think it's a bit of a generational shift," says Stephen O'Doherty, chief executive of Christian Schools Australia. "It's a very welcome one from our point of view."
However for some in the private school community - the potential losers - the alarm has sounded. What is feared is that Labor is gearing up for a rerun of its 2001 funding policy. This involved a revival of a public versus private schools debate, with a hit list of more than 50 "exclusive" schools that would have Commonwealth funding cut. About half were in Victoria, the state with the biggest private schools enrolment. As expected, on the list were schools such as Melbourne Grammar, Geelong Grammar and Scotch College.
Brighton Grammar, Carey Grammar, Caulfield Grammar, Christ Church Grammar, Eltham College, Firbank, Geelong College, Geelong Grammar, Haileybury College, Ivanhoe Grammar, Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar, St Catherine's, Lauriston, Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls' Grammar, Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls' Grammar, The Peninsula School, Presbyterian Ladies' College, StLeonard's College.
At one level, there is obvious populist appeal in taking away from rich schools to give to the poor. But what of those with children at "wealthy" schools? Labor probably doesn't need to worry about those voters who can easily afford the option. What is more critical is the group of parents for whom the choice of private education demands considerable financial sacrifice. Mess with this group, and there are votes to be lost.
The detail of Labor's policy will therefore be crucial. Michelle Green, chief executive of the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria, says independent schools want to talk to Labor about its plans. "Even if they can't make announcements about money because they are waiting for the budget, surely they must have thought this through.
"If they've got something which is clear and consistent . . . we'll be happy to talk to them about that. But at the moment, it looks just like someone's going to make a decision about whether a school is needy or not, and allocate significant resources based on that decision."
The Coalition's funding system is based on the socio-economic level of the area where students live. Apart from certainty, this has also delivered significant increases in funding to private schools. Under the 2005-2008 round of funding recently announced by the Government, independent schools received a 47 per cent increase, compared with 27 per cent for government schools. The Catholic sector, which recently joined the funding system, will get a 32 per cent increase.
Labor is under considerable pressure from its core constituency to deliver on education funding. The Australian Education Union is spending $3 million on advertising to highlight underfunding of government schools. This goes to the fundamental question of which level of government should be responsible for funding schools.
"In the heat of this - and I don't call it debate, it's really a dogfight - there's so much misinformation around, and very clever and opportunistic use of statistical information," says Paul Sheahan, headmaster at Melbourne Grammar School, which was on the Labor hit list.
"People who are opponents of any form of public funding coming to schools like ours focus only on . . . what comes from the Federal Government. Of course, government schools get pretty well all of their funding from state sources. It's rather misleading to concentrate only on the Federal Government."
Sheahan argues that funding cuts - and therefore fee increases - would mean students having to leave his school. "Even in a school like this, which is regarded as serving only those who float down (Toorak Road) on the number 8 tram, there are a lot of parents who really struggle to meet the fees," he says. "If we have to replace that funding by raising tuition fees, we would become more exclusive, not less exclusive. Parents would have to remove their children, and they are the parents of the boys who we believe really enrich the school because they provide diversity."
Roger Hayward, principal of St Leonard's College in Brighton - another school on the old hit list - says the school is working on a plan A and plan B, depending on the election outcome and what funding model is in place. He argues that should Labor win, there is unlikely to be a dramatic impact immediately. "We're reasonably confident there's going to be a slow erosion of funding, rather than a major cut," he says.
He admits to some nervousness about Labor's plans - a nervousness also evident among parents. "Where we are in bayside Melbourne, we can't cry poor here," says Hayward. "We're pretty well-to-do. But well over 80 per cent of our children are coming from families where there are two incomes, and a substantial part of mum's income is paying fees." Hayward says a lot of parents are feeling unfairly targeted.
That feeling seems likely to grow, at least until Labor offers some more detail on its funding policy. Labor has said that schools - and therefore parents - will know where they stand before the election. Private schools showed at the last election they were prepared to warn parents that under Labor's plan, fees would rise.
The difference this time is that any hit list will be accompanied by a table of winners - those "needy" private schools that Latham says will benefit under the policy. Politically, Labor's best hope is that those schools happen to fall in marginal seats.

NEW YORK (Dec. 7)
After years of being told that the role of federations is philanthropy, not finance, advocates of greater American Jewish involvement in Israeli economic development are gaining the upper hand.
In the past two years, a handful of communities have established offices, with federation funding, devoted to creating jobs in Israel by helping Israeli businesses.
And in many more communities, economic development committees have been established to look into the role federations should play in that endeavor.
"We've come a long way," Barry Schrage told a day-long seminar on economic development held here last month as part of the General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations.
Shrage, president of Boston's Combined Jewish Philanthropies, has been a longtime advocate of the idea that some of the money raised by federations for Israel should be spent on developing jobs in Israel.
"History will show that this aliyah did get hung up on the economic development issue," said Shrage, referring to the slowdown in immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union. He added: "It's not great to be right about something like that."
But Shrage is getting some satisfaction in the way his federation's model of economic development is being copied, most notably by Atlanta, Baltimore and Minneapolis. These and other local efforts are in addition to Operation Opportunity, an economic development program run by the Jewish Agency for Israel, the principle recipient of money raised for Israel by the United Jewish Appeal.
The idea is simple: rather than have federations solicit donations that would help provide social services to unemployed Israelis, for instance, they would encourage American Jews to do business with Israel, and thereby help create job opportunities there.
For nearly 20 years, advocates of this approach have fought an uphill battle against the traditional belief that the Jewish philanthropic system should stick to funding social services and immigration, and leave business to the businessmen. But now the discussion is shifting to which types of programs produce results and which don't.
"We've arrived at the age where the organized Jewish communities should go the extra mile, and look at Israel as an opportunity to do business, and create much more business," said Shlomo Harel, head of the Israel Economic Mission to the United States.
Federations, he said, should "use their traditional philanthropy as a springboard toward economic development."
Harel singled out the pioneering program in Boston, and newer programs in Baltimore and Atlanta, in which a professional, supported by the federation, works to find opportunities in Israel for local business.
"We believe these kinds of ambassadors for economic development should be there in all the major federations," he said.
What makes these new efforts different, said Shrage and others involved, is that in the past, attempts to promote Israeli businesses have involved bringing together Israeli and American businessmen, and hoping for the best. Other programs would attempt to persuade Jewish businessmen in America to buy Israeli products.
Today's focus "is not about the Israeli chamber of commerce going to a Jewish supermarket owner and saying, please sell our oranges in the U.S.," said Shrage.
When the Boston federation decided to get involved in economic development, "we asked, what is the value added of federation?"
The answer was its contacts in the community and its political clout.
The fruits were most evident this past September, when Massachusetts Gov. William Weld led a trade mission to Israel, resulting in the opening of a Massachusetts Trade Office in Jerusalem and the signing of several deals between high-technology companies in Massachusetts and Israel.
But, cautioned Shrage, "A governor's mission only gets that kind of work done when you've had three years of working on strategic alliances in a targeted way."
It was work that began when the federation decided to begin funding the then- moribund New England-Israel Chamber of Commerce. The first grant was $25,000 a year. Pleased with the results, the federation is now giving $100,000 annually, and will soon increase that by $50,000.
With that money, the chamber of commerce was able to hire staff to research the needs of local companies, and then match them with potential partners in Israel.
"This is not about introducing American Jewish businessmen and Israeli businessmen. It's about meeting with 200, 250 companies in New England, and finding out what their needs are," said Shrage.
"We're not working for Israeli companies. Our primary mission is to find American companies that have needs that can be met by Israeli companies. It's a highly professionalized, targeted operation, and I think it produces tremendous results."
In Baltimore, a similar effort has created a Maryland/Israel Development Center. With the same focus on helping meet the needs of local businesses, the Maryland Department of Economic and Employment Development has joined forces with the Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, which also involves the Israeli Ministry of Industry and the Jewish Agency.
Working out of the offices of the state's department of employment and economic development, the Hebrew-speaking director of the center "has the full resources of the state open to him," said Martin Waxman, secretary of the center.
The Baltimore federation has also tried to take an existing program, the twin- city relationship pioneered by Project Renewal, to a new plateau.
The connection to Kiryat Gat, Baltimore's Project Renewal community, takes place along two tracks.
In one, the federation is helping fund a high-tech business "incubator," in which fledgling enterprises are given both logistical and financial support to get off the ground.
While there are nearly two dozen such incubators, funded jointly by the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency's Operation Opportunity, Waxman said that Kiryat Gat's is unique in being directly affiliated with the federation.
A Baltimore businessman is one of the incubator's two chairmen, and there is a project evaluation committee in both countries.
This cooperation ties into the second track of Baltimore support for Kiryat Gat business: a mentoring and networking project.
It was with the assistance of a Baltimore shoe-industry executive that the Kiryat Gat firm, Air-Sports, was able to secure the license to market a brand of shoes, and more than double its staff from 14 workers.
"This is an example of moving Project Renewal, the program of the '80s, into economic development, the program of the '90s," said Waxman.
But Shrage insisted that the twinning approach is a limited one.
"If you're talking about strategic alliances, you're assuredly not twinning with a single Israeli city. You're getting to know your own city very well, getting to know your region, and then the entire Israeli country becomes your palette."
Tom Glaser, director of Atlanta's Israel Economic Development Partnership, agreed.
"Israeli economic development is an inexact science," he said. "We're writing the book as we're going along."
And one thing Glaser said he's learned so far is "we shouldn't be restricted by geographic limitations. We learned our strengths should be used wherever they're needed."
Another lesson from Atlanta: "If you're going to get involved, you have to know it's going to take time," warned Larry Joseph, a volunteer member of the partnership's committee.
"It's not something you're going to get involved in next year and see results. It's a five-year investment — it will take that long to have an impact," he said.
Still, after two years the Atlanta program can report successes, among them the commitment of Home Depot, the national retailing chain founded by a local member of the Jewish community, to hire a buying director in Israel. That effort has resulted so far in contracts with seven Israeli companies.
Those working to encourage economic development schemes also reported an important byproduct for the local federations: interest from Jewish who had never before been involved in federation work.
"We have brought people into our process in Baltimore who never would be walking into our doors if we didn't do this," said Waxman. "We have a new $25,000 donor who's interesting in what we're doing. He was interested in doing business, and became a donor."

Helping local entrepreneurs and businesses succeed is the goal of a series of seminars being developed by the Paris Junior College Small Business Development Center and the city of Sulphur Springs.
The first in the series, also sponsored by the Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce, features Marc Willson, who brings more than 36 years of experience refining and promoting retail businesses and restaurants to the public.
"We are so pleased to be able to present Mr. Willson's services free to the Sulphur Springs community," said SBDC Director Bradley Gottshalk. "He is known as an operations expert and has counseled more than 500 clients in best practices, marketing and customer service. His seminars and presentations help keep entrepreneurs current in an extremely competitive and changing environment."
The informative gathering of business owners will take place over hors d'oeuvres at LouViney's Restaurant in Sulphur Springs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, April 15. The topic is "Staying Relevant to a Changing Consumer."
The seminar will cover changes among consumers of all ages and include an overview of the economic climate and what consumers want in 2013; how a deep recession alters consumer buying habits; marketing, promotions and social media; and merchandising and store layout.
Helping retail, restaurant and tourism-related small businesses promote their concepts is something Willson has done for decades. He helps small business owners determine why their business is unique, who their customers are, and how to reach them. He is well known as an operations expert and has counseled countless retailers in areas of marketing and customer service, merchandising, social media, financials and cash flow.
He began his career in 1975 as co-owner of the largest Earth Shoes distributor in the United States. He joined Britches of Georgetowne and left it as vice president of operations after 12 years. He opened 83 mall-based Circuit City stores, served as president of Storetrax, Inc., and opened the world's first energy efficiency store for Current Energy, LLC. Willson holds an MBA from James Madison University and an MA from George Washington University.

Palmer hit by illness
Australia's gold-medal favourite David Palmer has been struck down by a virus, allowing him to practise only twice during the fortnight before the Games.
The former world No. 1 said he has struggled with bronchitis and a sinus infection, but will take part in the singles event, which begins today at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.
"I hadn't practised for 10 days," Palmer said. "The last two days I have had a hit. It's been frustrating.
"I've lost my feel and touch a little bit. Hopefully I'll get through the first couple of rounds OK."
Palmer, a bronze medallist in Manchester in 2002, returned to the top of the world rankings last month after a four-year gap.
He is the top seed in the men's draw and his toughest match today is against Welshman David Evans.
"It's a bit tricky," Palmer said. "He's won the British Open before, but he's now retired off the main tour. About four or five weeks ago I defeated him 3-0."
The 29-year-old Palmer is a former World Open champion and three-time British Open champion. All going well, Palmer is seeded to meet England's second seed James Willstrop in the men's final.
Australian Anthony Ricketts is the third seed, while Scotland's Peter Nicol is seeded fourth.
In the women's event, the biggest threat to Australia winning gold is world No. 1 Nicol David, of Malaysia. But the 22-year old is on track to face one of Australia's best in Rachael Grinham, who won silver in the 2002 women's doubles and bronze in the singles.

In short, raising interest rates to counteract a falling dollar is a practical impossibility for our cash-strapped government. That means the greenback will continue its decline and inflation will run rampant
3. Government Spending Cuts Are a No-Win Situation
As stated, any debt ceiling debate won't result in a default. But if the debt ceiling isn't raised, total federal spending will have to drop by over $1 trillion in the next 12 months as America is forced to "live within our means." Some say this is long overdue and for the best – but no matter how necessary these cuts are for the long-term health of America, they will result in much short-term pain. Read about 5 economic reasons Obama is doomed to one term on InvestorPlace.com
Consider that one of the single largest layoff announcements in 2010 was a plan from the U.S. postal service to cut 30,000 jobs by the end of 2011. Also in 2010, the City of New York announced a growing deficit would fire 11,000 workers including firefighters and teachers.
Should we continue to dig deeper into debt just to keep mail carriers employed? Hardly. But it's naïve to think it's as simple as just printing up 30,000 pink slips. Taking regular paychecks away from tens of thousands of Americans at a time when unemployment is high and spending weak will have an impact.
What's more, though some hardcore libertarians would happily wave good riddance to public schools or fire protection, there are many Americans who rely on government services every day. We are so far over our heads that even services most Americans think of as essential need to be reduced or eliminated.
Consider this: Even if we slashed the entire military budget to zero America would "only" save about $690 billion – about half of our nearly $1.5 trillion budget shortfall. If you also eliminated the nearly $800 billion we spend on Medicare and Medicaid each year, however, that would get us to a balanced budget.
When you need to cut the federal budget by 30% to break even, there's just no good way for things to end.

UCSD is "Printing" Blood Vessels in Seconds
Jason Mick
September 14, 2012 1:43 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It's alive! Breakthrough holds great promise for tissue engineering
One of the remarkable things about stem cells is that when placed in their typical environment -- in terms of shape, mechanical forces, and chemical signals -- they
tend to differentiate into the desired tissue type
The difficulty is creating the proper environment.
Among the most daunting tasks of tissue engineering is growing blood vessels. In order to create functional organs, a tissue engineer must intubate the growing target tissue
with blood vessels
. But creating the proper 3D structure to coax stem cells into differentiating into the correct kinds of endothelial and muscular cells to form the blood vessels has been a daunting task. So far most efforts using techniques like micro-contact printing and photolithography have only been able to create crude 2D structures.
But researchers at the
University of California, San Diego
a top player
in the field of tissue engineering --have used a new method called dynamic optical projection stereolithography (DOPsL) to grow a fractal network of 3D blood vessels out of soft biocompatible gel.
In recent years stereolithography has become a big deal in the world of manufacturing of machinery and vehicles, given its ability to create 3D parts or dies. Alternatives -- such as two-photon photopolymerization -- remain far slower and less efficient, taking hours to make a part.
UCSD researchers grew a blood vessel network, using stereolithography.
[Image Source: Chen Group/UCSD]
But for all its promise, work to adapt stereolithography to a microscopic scale is still in its rudimentary beginnings.
Funded by a $1.5M USD grant from the
National Institutes of Health
, the UCSD team created a working prototype of micromirrors, which direct light to solidify photosensitive liquid biogel. Controlled by the computer, the mirrors were able to pattern a network of 3D blood vessels in mere seconds.
The team -- led by NanoEngineering
Professor Shaochen Chen
-- says they're still a long way from simply growing blood cells to replacement organs. In the short term, however, the technology will likely first be applied to attempts to better grow and differentiate diverse tissues in the lab. For example the method could add vasculature to a growing cardiac tissue, improving its survival.
Eventually, Professor Chen, like many of his colleagues around the country, envisions a future in which mankind can simply "print" rich multi-tissue replacement organs -- say a heart, kidney, or liver -- then populate the framework with stem cells and chemicals, grow it for a couple months, then finally pop the finished product into a human.
The technology could eventually be applied to growing livers and other replacement organs.
[Image Source: Toronto Transplant Institute]
They're working hard to reach that goal, and stereolithography may play a crucial role in getting there, now that it's hit the scene.
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Post subject: Raising the Geocaching Bar In Minnesota (cont.)
I wonder how many other geocaches like "Barn Byewater" began with good intentions and then the owner lost interest in actively pursuing the sport of geocaching and even sells their GPS???
I'll be placing (if everything clicks at geocache.com) my first geocache (multistage) within the next three weeks. I've put more time, energy and expense into this cache than you could possibly believe. It may likely be the only metro geocache I'll ever place~unless this one has to be archived for some future reason.
I am taking the time to do everything first class and then some (110%). It will blow some of you away with my idea of "Raising the Geocaching Bar In Minnesota" if I should be fortunate enough to have it listed at
and should you ever add my first cache site to one of your finds. The actual cache will have some eXtremely NICE~NEAT~AWESOME touches and treasures. You will not need to replace an item with an item. Any items found that are junky will be removed. I will watch over my geocache like a mother hen over her chicks. The location will be unique. The log book will be first-class.
To me the motto of geocaching should be ~ Quality is Number One. My goal is to never have more than ONE cache placed in the greater Twin Cities metro area at any one time. Therefore, I can devote my undivided attention to seeing that it is one of the best maintained geocaches in the metro area w/quality treasures, and one of the more enjoyable and challenging treasure hunt adventures that a geocaching family will remember. What's the BIG deal about running around (shop until you drop) trying to find 10 2nd-rate or 15 3rd-rate caches all in one day just to increase your overall cache tally.
What if each of us had only a few cache sites? ~~~ caches that we took eXtreme pride in showcasing as the very best eXample of the sport of geocaching.

EagleXplore, I do applaud your intentions and some of what you wrote - any time a well thought-out cache is placed, we *all* benefit from that.
I would say, however, that everyone caches for different reasons. Some will enjoy a truly difficult and rewarding treasure hunt, but consider this: I often cache with my 2- and 3-yr old children. To them, the "big deal" is that they can find the cache themselves, and find McToys inside...that's their treasure! To them, the more caches in a day the merrier. I suspect this is exactly the kind of cache you've labeled as "2nd or 3rd rate".
All I'm trying to say is, what you consider a 2nd or 3rd rate cache might very well be another person's *perfect* cache. Or also consider that a first-time cacher might very well become frustrated while trying to solve your multi-cache, and quit the sport entirely without ever seeing a showcase of the best example of geocaching.
What clearly motivates you is the quality and challenge of the hunt, and that's commendable - but it's not fair to assume that anyone that hunts for a different reason (like numbers, for example) is LESS of a cacher, or that easy-to-find caches are of a LESSER quality than the rest, and that's kind of how your message came across to me. I'd rather have more caches there to "pick" from, and if it doesn't look like one I'd enjoy, then I don't have to go find it, right?
I personally am looking forward to seeing your new cache, I think the intent behind it sounds great - thanks!

Thanks for your eXcellent reply. As a boat rocker I would like you all to think of me more along the vein of a positive change agent. During winter snow storms lively debates can help to maintain a fresh flow of oXygenated blood to our stoic Swedish cerebral corteXes.
I'd be the first to admit that I'm a geocaching Newbie; however, I find that the caches I've discovered so far could benefit from a 'better presentation' as a treasure trove that would truly eXcite a young child. My first multi-stage treasure hunt is not for girly men families or a family that includes a cry baby. On the other hand it will have some interesting aspects that will eXcite a young child. It will be the kind of challenging treasure hunt that will provide a variety of challenges to eXcite both the elementary school child, an Eagle Scout and Dad. However, it is not going to be a joy ride for a Mom with a pre-schooler that should mistakenly decide to tag along.
All I'm really saying is that my first eXposure to geocaching is an eye-opener to the simple fact that there is room for improvement in the presentation of the geocache and the log books. Knowing this the final treasure should be a real pleasure. This should inspire the geocacher to approach the hunt with a certain level of committment rather than bing bang, and then on to the neXt tupperware treasure.

January 14 by EagleXplore (4 found)
...(never owned or used a GPS before yesterday).
Excuse me, but I think these two statements contradict each other.
I myself have spent months on the idea for a cache, never mind a couple weeks of driving around for the location, or manufacturing cache containers that never got used.
Im sure Im not the only one.
It seems to me like youre coming in here and acting like
the newbies.
That said, Id like to add that many of us are looking forward to your caches.....were no dummies....we like history, and you seem very knowledgeable.
I hope your caches do raise the bar. Go for it.

It's something to do. They are out there and they need to be found. I have hidden some caches that I have spent countless hours preparing and placing and people just don't go and find them. From my experience if the cache is more than 500 feet from car to cache, is multi-staged, and is south of the river not many people seem interested in finding it.
I have no problems in driving great distances to do caches but I rarely make a trip to do one or two caches. It's obvious that other people share my stance and that's likely why they don't want to invest 1+ hours in finding one of my multis.
I enjoy being surprised when I do a cache that I find to be excellent. It's a rare occasion when I will openly admit that I seriously enjoyed a cache. If you put one out there that is as amazing as you claim I'd be honored to do it.
Just remember that some people's vision of amazing doesn't necessarily mean great trade items, a great location, or an awesome theme. Every cacher is different and there are caches out there for everyone.

Actually he's found 14 as of yesterday:
But that doesn't detract from what you are saying... Especially when he's found only one multi.

You seem as though you have so many ideas that you just can't help letting them bust out all over. The thing is, for me and many other cachers part of the lure of geocaching is discovery. Finding something hidden is part of it but it's also getting out there and being surprised by how a cache is put together. By broadcasting all these ideas you're spoiling the surprise! Believe me when I say that word gets around when a cache is great. If you hide it they will come.

All I'm really saying is that my first eXposure to geocaching is an eye-opener to the simple fact that there is room for improvement in the presentation of the geocache and the log books.
As you do more geocaches, you will learn who's caches fit your bill and who's do not. Some people won't search for any of my caches, some people look forward to them. The game shouldn't be tailored to one specific taste. If you have a certain type of cache you enjoy, ask around and you may get some recommendations. That might increase your enjoyment of the game while minimizing the time you spend looking for caches that end up disappointing you.
I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

Silent Bob,
Please tell me the name of one of your multi-stages that you consider to have a 'good presentation' that is good family fun with good treasure. I will make it my neXt treasure hunt. Better yet give me two or three names.
I have by no means let the cat out of the bag on any of my cache site locations ~ not even close.

Okay, Im really restraining myself here.... Now youre, asking for 2 or 3
multi-stages that you consider to have a 'good presentation' that is good family fun with good treasure
Family fun is good, but can you guarantee it?....as for good presentation, and good treasure.....it isnt always about that...... theres more to geocaching than finding things in a cache....there is the thrill of the hunt, you enjoy the getting there because in a sense you're already there....the whole thing is an adventure.
Ive done a couple of Bobs caches, and bragged about them both..... he doesnt have to defend his caches, because of visions youre having about yours.
Lighten up....go place some caches, have fun and learn as you go.....Im sure well have fun finding them....
If you want to "raise the bar" just do it..... Let the caches speak for themselves.

Ok mister eaglexplora, now I have to vent.
Firstly I shold point out that I have done the north trail of barn bluff, and enjoyed it througly. I'm no whimp.
With 14 caches found, you have insulted many a good cache that you haven't found yet, in your comments about how yours will be so superior.
I suggest that you look back through the cache of the month winners and those suggestd for the prize and find a few of those, before making such cutting remarks. Try a few of zoejam' bridges. CAG's can drive you crazy and JR's will melt your brain. As for your comments about the mom who mistkenly tags along, well I have never tagged along for a cache, I'm usually out front marchinmg briskly. I have have cached with he men and girly men, and cry babies, the bigest disapointment was the male chovenist (sp) git who kept putting every one else down with out enough experience.
I know this crowed and they hav gone out of their way to be nice, but quite frankly you need to chose your words more carefully. Get over your self.
There venting over.
Expecting to be edited or even cut by SB, but I can deal with that. I feel better.

About half of the Lake Pepin geocaches will only involve log journaling and waypoints for seasoned geocahcers. EXcellent presentation, but nothing too fancy with the thrill of the hunt~find being the reward. About half will be watercraft (canoe, jon boat, etc.) access only or floatation snow shoes. Hopefully, the first one I place at Lake Pepin will receive its first watercraft log entry from Moe. I guess I need to enclose a gift certificate to reward the first log journal entrant.
Team Wicket,
You need to consider each word. I said a Mom "with a pre-schooler" is not advised to tag along. However, there is a nice little lake, creek, picnic table, and walking path. So, maybe Mom and pre-schooler could tag along part of the way. Have you ever been sucked into a winter stiche to help keep our cerebal corteXes well oXygenated?

I apologize in advance if my bluntness is misconstrued as hostility. EagleXplore, your Lake Pepin area idea sounds like it could be an excellent cache. (I decline to capitalize my x's inappropriately.) But would you please stop posting ad infinitum about your caching philosophies? I don't care to read anything more about vision quests and premier caches and whining preschoolers. I also don't care to read anything more at this point about how you plan to set up this cache. Just hide the thing already and let it speak for itself!

PRONUNCIATION: nahsh-LEESS TRANSLATION: The widower SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from Vyts Beliajus, a Lithuanian immigrant who has been called the "Father of Folk Dancing in the United States," who introduced this dance in America. BACKGROUND: This is a type of musical chairs. Many couples follow a lone widower, then each one takes turn to swing a girl. When the music stops, the one remaining without a partner is the next widower." -- From Folkraft LP-35 jacket notes. MUSIC: Folkraft (LP) LP-35, "Viltis Lithuanian Folk Dances," side B, band 9. FORMATION: Column of cpls facing the same dir, each W on M R, with one M (the "widower") alone at the head of the column. Ptrs have inside hands joined and free hands down at sides. METER/RHYTHM: 4/4 STEPS/STYLE: SWING: In Lithuanian Pos, ptrs facing opp dir with R sides adjacent, M R arm in front of W and R handholding her waist and L handholding W L upper arm, W R hand on M L shldr and L hand holding her skirt, walk CW while revolving in place.
Style is ralaxed.
MEAS MOVEMENT DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION None. I. WALKING 1-12 The "widower" leads the column anywhere on the floor with walking steps. II. SWINGING 1-?? The "widower" takes the first W in back of him and Swings her around once or twice.
The "widower" releases the first W and, while he Swings the next W in the column, The first partnered M in the column, who has followed the "widower" around the set, Swings the first W.

On May 11, Hall County voters will take to the polls to choose replacement representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Georgia Senate.
The special elections are to fill the unexpired terms of former U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Gainesville, and former state Sen. Lee Hawkins.
Deal, an 18-year Republican representative of Georgia's 9th District in the U.S. House, resigned his post on March 21 to focus on his campaign for Georgia governor, he said.
After Deal's resignation, Hawkins resigned from the state Senate to qualify for the special election to fill Deal's seat.
Hawkins had previously been campaigning for the Republican nomination to Deal's seat in the July party primary. He faces five Republican opponents — former state Sen. Majority Leader Bill Stephens, former state Rep. Tom Graves, Bert Loftman, Chris Cates and Steve Tarvin — and one conservative independent, Eugene Moon, in the special election.
Democrat Mike Freeman's name will appear on the ballot, but Freeman has withdrawn from the race.
Like Deal, Hawkins' state Senate seat would have been up for grabs in the November election, and candidates were already eyeing it.
The Senate district Hawkins left behind represents all of Hall County and a northern portion of Jackson County.
Three candidates — Republicans Butch Miller and Jimmy Norman along with Libertarian Brandon Givens — are campaigning for the seat in the special election.
Early voting for the election began in Hall County on April 7 and will continue until May 7.

Will the Stone Roses' return give Gorman another shot at seeing them live?
It probably seems unlikely I would write about something other than food, but another love of mine is music.
On weekends during my short time in college I was fortunate enough to have my best friend, Milwaukee native Kurt Meister, bring me in on his weekend radio show to co-host with him.
It was a great experience we had no format and it was a small technical school with few restrictions. We chose our own format and on Sunday afternoons we played "alternative" music long before the term was invented, a college music show affectionately named after an R.E.M. song – The Bandwagon. The best part about it was we discovered music before it hit the airwaves. The station was littered with promotional albums everywhere.
One band that Kurt and I discovered were from Manchester, England – The Stone Roses. They were unlike anything we were familiar with. They sang melodies and were incredibly talented musicians. They didn't pass off shoddy musicianship as "art."
Their sound was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, with melodies and harmonies reminiscent of something from the '60s. Their music had soul and rhythm, things you weren't hearing on the radio. They were a rock band in the true sense with a charismatic lead singer channeling the German '70s band Can, they had drum solos, 10-minute jam sessions, maracas and bell bottoms (I know what you are thinking but, they made the pants work and no, I never owned a pair).
With a splash of arrogance they reaffirmed the belief that rock and roll was not dead. One of their most popular tracks – "Fool's Gold" – hints that they were on to something truly genius.
They had a style all their own. Lead guitarist John Squire was also an amateur painter and was pretty enamored with Jackson Pollock. Not only did Squire paint all their album and single covers, he splatter painted, Pollock-style, all their instruments.
However, The Stone Roses only released two albums before inner turmoil and long legal battles with their record company finally took a toll and they broke up 15 years ago. They announced their reunion this week.
They barely toured in the U.S. and the only occasion I had to see them I was working one night at Nava, a Southwestern fine dining restaurant in Atlanta with Chef Kevin Rathbun.
I have no regrets, although the thought had crossed my mind – skip work and see my favorite band or go in and commit to my craft? Well, I went to work and it seems to have paid off.
Who knows? Maybe I'll get to see them play live and as I mourn the end of R.E.M. – another favorite – I look forward to being comforted with The Stone Roses' bold return to "Take on the World," as they proclaimed at this week's press conference.
T15 | Oct. 24, 2011 at 2:25 p.m. (report)
BTW, they were supposed to play at summerfest rock stage 1995 or 96 but the bassist broke his arm snowboarding on the east coast so they canceled the rest of the us tour. Bummer.

About the Book
Each year, I do a year in photos book. This is my 2010 edition.
Features & Details
Small Square, 7×7 in, 18×18 cm
160 Pages
- Publish Date Dec 02, 2010
- Tags disc golf, travel, personal, friends, family, ireland, gettysburg, dublin, geocaching, sports
About the Creator
Sports writer by trade, photographer by love. I take photos because I love to do it. I see an image I like and take the shot. I don't always abide by the "rules" of photography and sometimes I do. I also don't usually do this for others -- I do it because I love it and want to make something I feel is a good shot. The greatest part of photography -- and any art -- is that the beauty is different in everyone's eyes. I love sports photography for the raw emotion. People photos are something I really love as it shows a great slice of life. I'll capture shots in bars, baseball stadiums, in the country, city or wherever. People are everywhere and always make for a good shot. Some other projects include covered bridges and waterfalls. I'm also starting to get interesting in dams as they are amazing structures, especially to try and capture in an image. Nature is also fun to shoot, but you have to be in the right setting. I do the best I can. Thanks for your interest in my work.

At Station A there is shown the talking apparatus employing the Wheatstone bridge arrangement.
Wheatstone is either for "white stone" or for the local Whetstone (Middlesex).
If it was mainly invented by Wheatstone, it was chiefly introduced by Cooke.
Wheatstone was knighted in 1868, after his completion of the automatic telegraph.
Mr. Wheatstone has already made experiments which fully illustrate this point.
The year of the telegraph—1837—was an important one for Morse, as it was for Cooke and Wheatstone.
The scientific men know little or nothing absolute on the subject: Wheatstone is the only man near the mark.'
Wheatstone by his knowledge of Ohm's law and the electro-magnet was probably able to enlighten him.
Wheatstone subsequently investigated the conditions necessary to obtain electro-magnetic effects at a long distance.
Wheatstone and he obtained a considerable sum for the use of their apparatus.

Sweet Corn Madeleines
How to improve on cornbread? Make it snack-size, crisp at the edges and tender inside, with a delicate crunch from corn. Then watch it disappear at brunch or alongside ribs. You'll need a madeleine or mini-muffin pan.
Recipe: Sweet Corn Madeleines
Chicken Salad with Miso Dressing
After cooking chicken cutlets, throw corn on the still-hot grill to use in this unusually, delicious salad.
Recipe: Chicken Salad with Miso Dressing
Grilled Corn Cobettes

Chicken with Spicy Corn on the Cob and Grilled Lettuces
Russell Moore, chef and owner at Camino restaurant in Oakland, gave us this technique for grilling chicken breast—and it's the juiciest version we've ever had, protected from overcooking by the bones and skin. "Don't cook it too fast," he adds. "You don't want it burnt outside and raw inside." We also like his clever way of producing an entire dinner over one fire, grilling everything in sequence. At Camino, he uses cherry and almond wood, but for the home griller, he suggests a mix of mesquite hardwood charcoal and either fruitwood or hardwood chunks—and lighting more charcoal partway through cooking.
Recipe: Chicken with Spicy Corn on the Cob and Grilled Lettuces
Grilled Corn Poblano Salad with Chipotle Vinaigrette
The spicy poblano and the creamy avocado are a natural match in this grilled corn salad.
