In response to the controversy surrounding Attorney General Kathleen's handling of a government corruption case, implicating four Philadelphia state legislators, State Senator Daylin Leach announced a plan yesterday to introduce a bill addressing this very issue.
His proposal would ban cash gifts to state officials from any registered lobbyist or anyone who is not a member of their own family. It would also limit cash campaign contributions to $50, addressing the issue of an indirect payoff in a quid pro quo situation. Leach says:
"We've all read recently about allegations of legislators accepting large cash gifts from a lobbyist. I obviously do not know the truth of any of those allegations, however in reading the press accounts of the investigation and the allegations that emerged, I was troubled to learn that there was no legal prohibition against accepting such gifts if they had been offered. "I understand that if a gift exceeds the limit, it must be disclosed. However, the nature of cash makes it much more difficult to detect a failure to disclose such as was alleged in the recent investigation. It is critical that there be the maximum possible transparency so that the public may know who is attempting to influence their lawmakers. Cash in envelopes is antithetical to this transparency."
Senator Leach has circulated the memo to members of the State Senate, and we predict it will be an easy sell, given the harsh press coverage against Attorney General Kathleen Kane for halting the flawed investigation. We haven't received word on a similar proposal from the State House, but we will update this article upon news of that development.
Senator Leach is one of four candidates in the left- leaning 13th congressional race. His opponents are State Representative Brendan Boyle, Former Congresswoman Marjorie Margolies, and Dr. Valerie Arkoosh.

Paul Chapman's best chance of playing in Geelong's preliminary final against Hawthorn will be if the match review panel deems his high bump on Port Adelaide's Robbie Gray too minor to warrant penalty.
The panel's rigid stance on players who jump into opponents when bumping them, because of the greater risk of high contact, is likely to mean that if Chapman is charged, the only way he could face the Hawks on Friday night would be by successfully challenging the penalty at the AFL tribunal.
Sydney's problems with injury could also be compounded by suspension, with key defender Ted Richards likely to be scrutinised for a high bump to Carlton's Levi Casboult at the weekend.
Influential forward Chapman was reported on Friday night for the bump on Gray. That the bump was delivered only marginally after the Power forward had kicked the ball should help lessen the conduct grading. What will hinder him, however, was that Chapman left the ground to do so.
Throughout the season the panel has consistently applied a grading of reckless to any player who has jumped into an opponent and made high contact. Geelong's James Kelly, Carlton's Eddie Betts, Melbourne's Neville Jetta and Essendon's Dustin Fletcher are among the players to have been dealt with in that way.
''By jumping up into the air you should expect that you may make high contact, so that makes it a reckless act,'' panel chairman Mark Fraser told the AFL website earlier this year in explaining the penalty for Jetta's bump on GWS first-year player Lachie Whitfield. He made similar comments about Kelly and Fletcher.
The only charged player this year to have jumped and escaped a reckless grading, and instead received negligent, was Essendon's Jake Melksham for a bump on Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead in round 18, primarily because the forward was running into his path.
If Chapman's bump is deemed to be reckless conduct, low impact and high contact, it would be a base penalty of two matches, which could be reduced with a guilty plea to one match. A conduct grading of negligent would reduce the base penalty to one match, and then a reprimand with a guilty plea. If Chapman attracts the former, a problem for the Cats would be if they took the case to the tribunal in the hope of a downgrade to negligent allowing him to play the Hawks. He would be slapped with a two-match ban if that downgrade request failed, because it is not possible as a fallback option to plead guilty and still have the ban cut from two matches to one.
Chapman could escape penalty altogether if the panel deems the impact to Gray above the shoulders was below the minimum threshold for a charge. While Gray played on following the third-quarter incident and was seemingly unhurt – a medical report from Port Adelaide will be sought for greater insight – the panel is likely to be influenced by Gray's head seemingly moving back due to the bump and that he grabbed at his mouth as soon as he hit the ground.
The Swans' Richards could be punished for a bump he delivered to Carlton's Casboult to prevent the Blues player from pursuing nearby Swan Jesse White. While Richards' bump was to a player who was not in possession, unlike Chapman on Gray, the defender did not jump into his opponent.
There is precedent this year for a player attracting a negligent grading for that conduct: Richmond's Steve Morris on Collingwood's Jamie Elliott in round four. If Richards attracts a grading of negligent conduct, low impact and high contact he would escape with a reprimand by pleading guilty. A reckless grading would, as potentially for Chapman, sideline him from a preliminary final, away to Fremantle on Saturday night.

Warning! Get to High Ground
Economic Warnings From Two Respected Analysts
by Gary North
Two widely respected economic commentators, Harvard's Niall Ferguson and Nassim "black swan" Taleb, have offered highly pessimistic assessments of what lies ahead for the American economy.
Information like this is widely ignored by investors in weeks when they have decided that nothing can stop them: they will get rich by investing in the American stock market, no matter what. On July 21, Ben Bernanke told the Senate Banking committee that "the economic outlook looks unusually uncertain." Stocks fell sharply as soon as he gave his testimony. But the Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered at the opening bell the next day, and then rose by almost 400 points over the next three business days. There was no news that countered Bernanke's assessment. Investors simply shrugged it off.
Niall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard University and is also on the faculty of the Harvard Business School. This indicates that he has successfully jumped through the most rigorous of academic hoops. Because he writes voluminously and well on topics related to national finance, he is often asked to speak at high-level business conferences. He is a good speaker.
Ferguson recently was asked to write an article for London's Financial Times. He began his article with a comment on the present state of debate over fiscal policy in the West. He said that the debate is depressing. I could not agree more.
He quoted the famous aphorism regarding the restored king of France after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. The king was an heir of the Bourbon family. It was said that the family forgot nothing and learned nothing.
The same could easily be said of some of today's latter-day Keynesians. They cannot and never will forget the policy errors made in the US in the 1930s. But they appear to have learned nothing from all that has happened in economic theory since the publication of their bible, John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, in 1936.
With respect to their assessment of those policy errors, his statement is correct. But we should not be like the Keynesians, who have never understood the policy errors of the Federal Reserve System and the Bank of England in the second half of the 1920s.

She requested a loan so that she can buy the additional products that her customers have asked her to sell. Another purpose for this loan is for her to be able to have her teeth checked. The money will be a big help for her dental fee.
With this additional capital she plans to add a variety of products to sell, like: DXN coffee, fabric conditioner from Personal Collection, colognes and perfumes. She aims for a bigger profit from these additional products. The additional income will go to her family's daily consumption, her children's schooling and possible new business opportunities.
In areas where the poor live alongside the more affluent, businesses in the service sector can be very successful. Services include flower cultivation, tailoring/sewing, transportation, repair work, beauty salons and barber shops, and restaurants. Loans are needed to begin, expand, or sustain business with tools and supplies. Loans given to entrepreneurs in the service sector account for around 7% of our loans.
The community of Children's Helper is located in the province of Cavite in the Philippine islands, to the southwest of Manila. Like most of the Philippines, the region experiences dry weather from December through June and a rainy season from July through November. Floods and typhoons are common threats.
Fishing is a major source of income, with catches including milkfish, crabs, tilapia, mussels, and oysters. Other income-generating activities include agriculture, livestock production, and industrial jobs. Often, families do not earn enough to meet basic needs and children drop out of school to find work. Many children are underweight. The community has access to a shallow well and several pumping stations that provide them with water for household needs.
In Children's Helper, World Vision is assisting families with income generation through loans and retail projects such as making and selling soap. We are also providing medical checkups and healthcare for children.
Erlinda owns a Sari-Sari store. The loan she received was used for her business. The money allowed her the opportunity to purchase cosmetics such as Avon, Natasha, Fuller Life, and Ion. She was able to get the inventory in bulk. She has now has a large variety to sell to her customers. This gives her an edge against her competitors.
Erlinda is expanding her business and paying her loan back on time. Thank you for supporting Erlinda and World Vision Micro!
Erlinda is happily sharing her business venture in her community. She is working to gain customers who have not shopped at her store in the past. She is convincing them to try her products. She is improving her customer base and contributing greatly to the success of her business. Her direct selling methods are really helping.
Erlinda is doing well and has paid her loan back in full. These loan funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in her community. Thank you for supporting Erlinda and World Vision Micro!

While Saif Ali Khan has had a recent release with Karan Johar production, Kurbaan he has not signed any film besides his home production Agent Vinod with Kareena Kapoor. So is he out of work after that then? "Yes, I have no work after Agent Vinod. I am currently concentrating only on my home production," he says.
Saif further states that Agent Vinod is an action thriller with loads of adventure. "But, it will also be very real. My character is not going to be a wannabe James Bond. We are still developing the character and right now I am losing some weight for the movie," he informs.
While Saif says that he loves taking on different roles, his experimentation with acting didn"t just happen.
"I was never meant to be an actor, but I have grown a lot as one while doing a lot of films. I developed my potential and I do think certain films tapped into my insides. After my role in Dil Chahta Hai, directors started looking at me differently. There was a time when I thought that I was wasting my time in the industry, but after certain films such as Kachche Dhaage, and Parineeta, my sensibilities towards cinema changed. Omkara was a different story — it changed me completely. I consider myself lucky to have had such roles," he says

Violin 2 from Black Lough (Northumbrian Impressions No 3)
The third of the Northumbrian Impressions depicts a remote sheet of water on Alnwick Moor. Desolate and, whether the black colour comes from the depth or the peat stain, a desolate landscape. The melody is the hauntingly beautiful folksong "Green Bushes". (which I have scored many times)

It's playoff season again, and like last year, I'm doing reviews of all the postseason fun here at THT Live. Also like last year, I'm using my Win Percentage Sum (WPS) system, built to measure game excitement, as a foundation for my own comments. For a short refresher on how WPS works, check the start of my homepage article today. For a long refresher, check the two articles I wrote last year explaining how it works, here and here (but mainly the first one).
Unlike for my other article today, Win Percentage Added data used to calculate WPS comes from FanGraphs, not Baseball-Reference. B-R is great when researching things that go back a ways, but for events happening right now, as I write, FanGraphs is tops. The final index is calculated to tenths of a point, but inning-by-inning numbers are given as rounded whole numbers for easier scanning.
I had expected to begin this work tomorrow for publication on Wednesday. Tampa Bay and Texas had other ideas. Technically this is a regular-season game, but I'm kicking off my playoff coverage with it, because a win-or-go-home game deserves no less.
Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Rays 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 5 Rangers 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 X 2 WPS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Rays 19 5 28 5 5 22 11 5 6 Rangers 10 18 20 7 15 29 9 25 X WPS Base: 242.1 Best Plays: 36.8 Last Play: 0.6 Grand Total: 279.5
A somewhat below-average game in excitement overall. The Rays got a multi-run lead fairly early and never let their edge get below two. The Rangers came back promptly twice after scoring innings for Tampa Bay, which helped recover some excitement, but they never quite got back into it.
Pre-game analysis noted that Rays starter David Price had a poor career record against Texas. The more sophisticated analysis concluded that this was a small sample size and not indicative of what would transpire in the game. Post-game analysis concludes that that was some good sophisticated pre-game analysis.
Other pre-game analysis noted that Rangers starter Martin Perez, still being a rookie, might be rattled by the pressure and could be on a short leash. The first inning argued for the former proposition. Perez yielded three singles and a walk to the first four batters, and only Desmond Jennings' balky hamstring getting him thrown out stretching for two prevented the Rays from taking the lead on those four baserunners. But Perez bore down, limiting the damage to one.
The leash wasn't as short as anticipated. Even after Evan Longoria's two-run homer, Perez stayed in, and he justified the move by setting down eight straight Rays. Ron Washington then lifted him to get Alexi Ogando against Longoria—who promptly started a two-double rally that notched a fresh run.
Baserunning escapades dotted the game. On top of Jennings' leadoff not-quite-double, there were two pickoffs by Price. The first one against Elvis Andrus in the first was classic. As first baseman James Loney received the throw, he turned to move his right foot across the bag, blocking Andrus off completely. It wasn't long ago that I finally got to read Weaver on Strategy, and the Earl of Baltimore wrote about that being the very way you had to play a pickoff attempt. His wisdom lives on.
Beyond that, there was also Sam Fuld's steal of third base in the top of the ninth, trying to exploit Tanner Scheppers' wide-set stance. Scheppers' throw to third flew into left field, and Fuld tallied some insurance that the Rays didn't really need.
The umpires were a bigger part of the story than one might like, though thankfully not as big as they could have been. Home plate arbiter Jeff Kellogg was calling a wide strike zone on the third-base side. By the fourth inning, Texas fans were giving him derisory calls on his balls and strikes, with a notably sarcastic cheer when he called one strike right down the pipe.
More worrisome was Leonys Martin's play on a Craig Gentry fly in the seventh. Replay clearly showed he trapped the ball, but left-field umpire Bruce Dreckman called it a catch for the third out, taking away at least one run from Tampa Bay. Had there been a Texas comeback, this would have been a huge controversy. Instead, we'll just cross our fingers a little harder that we get through October without one of these turning a crucial game before expanded replay comes next year.
Nelson Cruz, his Biogenesis suspension having elapsed with the end of Game 162, was Texas' designated hitter for Game 163, and he received a huge ovation from the home fans his first time up. PED grouches got the last laugh as Cruz went 0-for-4, hitting into the final out of the game and the Rangers' season.
Thus, the regular season ends with a game that felt like the beginning of the playoffs. Or maybe it's the other way around. I'll be glad for tomorrow's Reds-Pirates game, which has absolutely no identity confusion.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Game Edition incoming, GamePad controller in tow
From the looks of it, Samsung is ready to launch a product bundle tailored with gamers in mind. It is focused around the company's Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch tablet and the GamePad game controller which Samsung unveiled just days ago. You won't be required to attach the tablet to the controller, however – it would be too large to fit anyway. Instead, there will be an HDMI adapted thrown in the set as well, allowing you to hook up the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to a TV. Three premium games will also be included in the bundle, although what titles have been chosen isn't clear.
Pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Game Edition hasn't been specified. Details regarding the bundle's launch date and market availability aren't clear either, but since the retail box above appears destined for Germany, we can safely assume that the Game Edition Tab 3 will be sold in parts of Europe.

I'm more concerned if there is enough power. Those specs are barely good for phone. Best Gaming tablets are Pro 2 (well, it looks like a tablet), Dell Venue Pro, iPad Air+Mini 2 and Nexus 7.

A cool idea, but until yoh see enough hardware under the hood for major title support on mobile, stuff like this won't take off like the prospective manufacturers want it to.

I'll be honest, I think this is an excellent idea, just not for Samsung. They don't put enough power into their Tab devices. If this was with the G Pad or Nexus, it would be an excellent addition.

Greetings all,
New, novice coal burner here...I'm looking to heat my 2000 sq. ft. single story workshop with coal. I live in PA, just 30 minutes South of the anthracite region. I need advice...if you're bored by novices you should stop reading now.
I'm looking for a hot air furnace that will heat my workshop comfortably. I hate being cold when working.
My shop is recent frame construction, well insulated, R19 walls/R30 ceilings at 9 ft. high, One half is concrete floor the other half is uninsulated crawl space. Heating contractor friend did a heat loss calculation and determined I need 50,000BTU per hour, although I have Northern exposure to sustained prevailing winds, which leads me to believe I want a bit more than that.
I am looking at the Fire Chief FC500 coal burner. Good warranty, looks well built and according to the specifications, it will hold a lot of coal.
My questions are...if I use a furnace a bit larger than I need, can I expect a longer burn time if I'm heating a space smaller than it is designed for? I'm away at my job about 12 hours per day and don't want the fire to go out. (I don't need 70 degree temps when I'm away-50 degrees would be fine) but I want it warm when I want to work there. I'm usually in the shop every evening and all weekend.
Will too large of a furnace overfire or overheat? Or might it not burn properly?
How can I estimate how much coal I might burn in an effort to compare costs to propane, oil, or wood.
Finally, the Fire Chief seems to have the forced draft fan mounted above the grates. I understand from reading this forum that air should come from under the grates for an anthracite fire to do well. Is the Fire Chief a good or bad choice?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hucks: Shoutout To Helpful Police Chief
A funny thing happened to Coeur d'Alene physical therapist Gary Bartoo and son, Trey, on the way home from the new Frontier Ice Arena on Thursday night. The fuel pump in the truck quit, stranding them in a turn lane at the busy intersection of Seltice Way and Northwest Boulevard. So Gary called for a tow. Then, he and Trey settled in for a wait of up to an hour. That's when Coeur d'Alene police Chief Wayne Longo appeared. In uniform. Wayne and Coeur d'Alene's finest had just chased – and caught – a suspect in an armed robbery at the Boulevard Food Mart, a short distance away. Spotting the disabled vehicle, Wayne stopped his patrol car and offered to help. Gary was amazed that the chief was doing grunt work. And that Wayne was able to speed the tow truck along. So was wife, Amy, who later Facebooked: "Not only is Wayne Longo a phenomenal gentleman but our esteemed CDA Citizen of The Year!!! We are lucky people tonight!" There was a downside to all this. All that extra time Trey spent in Gary's rig after hockey practice, notes Amy, left a distinct boy-sweat smell/DFO, Huckleberries print, SR. More here.

Need a local reality TV contestant to root for this summer? Christine Silverstein, an investment director from Yonkers, is competing on 'MasterChef.'
Christine was among 30 home cooks chosen to compete during the culinary competition's season premiere, which aired Monday on Fox. After preparing her signature dish
(wild boar meatballs with squash and chestnut radicchio salad) for judges including 'Hell's Kitchen' star Gordon Ramsay, the amateur chef was chosen to move on the next round of competition, airing June 2.
"I'm first-generation Italian, so my cooking style is more rustic, comfort Italian food," she says in a 'MasterChef' promotional video. "Cooking means love — loving through my food, respecting people through my food, showing my committment and dedication and overall passion for people through my food. I would like to take away from the experience growth. I think it's the number one reason I'm here…I know there is so much I can learn from these chefs and I am determined and willing to learn everything I can."
After a series of cooking challenges and weekly eliminations, a winner will be crowned at the end of the season. The new 'MasterChef' will receive a cookbook deal and a $250,000 grand prize.

Causeway were comprehensively beaten 6-0 by the Seahorses in their second round tie at Hillheads Park yesterday.
The hosts have won the competition three times in the last four years and United boss Colwell admitted his side were simply beaten by the better team.
He said: "We knew it was going to be hard, you don't win the competition three times in the last four years for no reason.
"I was disappointed with our defending for the first two goals but overall I don't think you can argue we were beaten by the better side.
"They pay players and we don't, you could see there was a difference in class really.
"They could probably play two leagues above and do well. We worked hard and I can't ask anymore really."
United found themselves three goals down midway after 23 minutes and only backs to the well defending prevented them from conceding more in a sobering first period.
Despite a rally early in the second half, they couldn't reduce the deficit and three more goals from the hosts sealed the win.
Colwell said: "We had a few words at half-time. We made it clear to the players we were disappointed with the defending first two goals.
"We changed a few things around and for the first 15 minutes of the second half we did well. I thought if we could get one, we might get another and make them a bit nervous.
"The fourth goal was a killer really, there was no way back from that."
He added: "Credit to them, they are a very good side.
"They could play leagues higher, why they choose not to, that's another story."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/5/2013 (1549 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Three hundred metres in the air.
Six hundred kilometres per hour.
Just 1.2 metres of space between your jet's nose and the tail of the jet in front of you.
That's an average day at work for Capt. Gregg Wiebe, pilot of Snowbird 4 on the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Demonstration Team.
Wiebe, who grew up in Kenora, Ont., took to the skies north of Winnipeg with his teammates Saturday to impress and/or strike fear into some civilian passengers along for the ride.
The team is here on a stopover as it heads to Ontario to begin its regular air-show season. The Snowbirds will perform in Kenora July 3.
They'll give Manitobans a sneak peek today, though, as they do flybys of The Forks, Oakbank, Birds Hill, Beausejour, Anola, Ste Anne, Steinbach, Morris, La Salle and Carman, starting at 2 p.m.
There is a little bit of magic in the Snowbirds' show. But it's not the patterns they make in the sky with their trailing smoke. It's the illusion of danger.
"The word 'dangerous' doesn't enter into our vocabulary," Wiebe said.
"Every manoeuvre we're going to do, we put a risk factor on it. And if the risk factor becomes too great, then we don't do that manoeuvre."
But if you've seen a Snowbirds show from the ground, you know that 1.2-metre gap between planes seems like only millimetres.
"Well, I guess it is a little bit like a trick."
There are no illusions about the effort Wiebe and his elite teammates put into training for up to 60 performances across North America they plan to put on this summer.
Each year, the team trains from November to May for at least three different routines tailor-made for a variety of weather conditions. Then, air-show season keeps them busy from May to October.
Wiebe, who started out as a helicopter pilot when he joined the Canadian Forces in 1982, first caught the flying bug watching float planes on Lake of the Woods as a child. Now he has logged 8,000 hours of military flying.
At age 51, Wiebe is the oldest member of the team and plans to retire soon. He's been with the Snowbirds since 2004 and part of the show team for two years.
"This is a great way to finish it up — with one of the best flying jobs in the world."
Like every Snowbird pilot, Wiebe has a call sign bestowed upon him by the team: Abe.
He likes to think it represents Abraham Lincoln. But the inspiration is actually Abe Simpson — Homer Simpson's elderly father.
If you see the Snowbirds up in the sky today, be sure to wave to Abe. He'll be the one in the middle of the diamond formation — the one with a plane just 1.2 metres in front of his nose.

Mr. Brown was very good about taking me through every step of the process. Even though my case was not the kind where my career was at stake, he treated it with the utmost seriousness and was very professional. My case was ultimately dismissed just before trial; it seemed likely we would win and the plaintiff decided not to go through with it. If I ever have to do this again, I will call him!

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and TORONTO, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbor Vita Corporation, a U.S.-based biotechnology company, and NoNO, Inc., a Canadian biotechnology company focused on neurological diseases, announced today their partnership to develop and commercialize drugs for the treatment of stroke. The research and development collaboration combines Arbor Vita's PDZ-based Drug Discovery Platform with NoNO's expertise in the area of neurological disorders. Financial terms of the collaboration were not disclosed.
"We are very pleased to be working with NoNO, a biotechnology company founded by some of the leading neuroscientists in Canada," stated Peter Lu, M.D., founder, president and chief executive officer of Arbor Vita Corporation. "Under this collaboration, we are developing drugs targeting PDZ-protein interactions to mitigate brain damage from cerebral ischemia (stroke), which could also extend to the treatment of neurotrauma, pain, Alzheimer's and other diseases."
In a landmark study published in Science (2002 Oct 25; 298(5594):846-50), Michael Tymianski, M.D., Ph.D., and his scientific colleagues first demonstrated in vivo that the inhibition of the interaction between NMDA (N- methyl D-aspartate) receptors, which are found on brain neurons and allow them to communicate with each other, and PSD-95, a protein containing PDZ domains, resulted in the brain cells becoming resilient to stroke and stroke-like insults in animals. PDZ proteins such as PSD-95 are critical elements that organize and regulate many signaling pathways in human cells. The disruption of PDZ interactions has recently begun to be appreciated as providing a novel way to control multiple signaling cascades in complex diseases.
"PDZs, with their pivotal role in cell signaling, represent an opportunity to hinder cellular signals that cause cells to die in a stroke, without causing the severe side effects that were observed with previous stroke drugs," explained Dr. Tymianski, founder and president of NoNO, Inc. "By developing drugs that act downstream of the NMDA receptor, we can selectivity block the inappropriate signals which result in cell death without disruption of the NMDA receptor itself, which is an essential cellular protein for transmission of signals between nerve cells."
The two companies also announced the presentation of preclinical data at Neuroscience 2006, the 36th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience being held this week in Atlanta, Georgia. More than 30,000 scientists from around the world will attend to exchange ideas about cutting-edge research on the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. The collaborative poster, "Mechanism of neuroprotective action of the PSD-95 inhibitor TAT-NR2B9c," will be presented on Tuesday, October 17 at 1:00 PM Eastern.
The work presented in this poster extends Dr. Tymianski's earlier work to identify the key cellular proteins and interactions responsible for mitigation of neuronal damage following stroke. Furthermore, it shows a dramatic demonstration of the power of targeting PDZ-based interactions for therapeutic use. This new understanding has opened the doors for development of a new class of specific drugs for the treatment of stroke with the potential for significantly fewer side effects than current treatments.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban claimed responsibility today for a nighttime assault on NATO's biggest base in southern Afghanistan. Insurgents firing rockets, mortar shells and automatic weapons tried to storm Kandahar Air Field — the second such attack on a major military installation this week.
Several coalition troops and civilian employees were wounded in the assault Saturday night, but there were no reports of deaths, officials said.
A Canadian Press news agency report from Kandahar said artillery and machine gun fire reverberated through the base, about 300 miles southwest of Kabul, several hours after the attack began. Militants unleashed rockets and mortars about 8 p.m. and then tried to storm the northern perimeter, officials said.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told the Associated Press that Taliban fighters attacked the base from two sides and fired more than 15 rockets.
It was the third major attack on NATO forces in Afghanistan in six days.
The attacks follow a Taliban announcement of a spring offensive against NATO forces and Afghan government troops — their response to a promise by the Obama administration to squeeze the Taliban out of their strongholds in the southern province of Kandahar.
Attacks in the south earlier Saturday killed three NATO service members — one American, one French and one Dutch — and an Afghan interpreter.

The widespread policy in this area of using cinders to improve traction on roads slickened by snow and ice has its critics, and thats understandable.
Cinders can clog storm sewers, and when tracked indoors make a mess of the floors and carpeting in homes and businesses.
Sooty cinders turn cars a different shade of black with each winter snowfall.
In the spring, cinders left over from winter make the roads treacherous for motorcyclists and bicyclists.
Cinders turn white snow into black snow.
And, according to a study by the University of Missouri, cinders are much less efficient than, say, calcium chloride, which can be mixed with rock salt to speed up the melting process and improve the effectiveness of the salt.
The university switched from cinders to liquid calcium chloride with salt and found that during one three-inch snowfall, only two applications to roads were needed one during and one after the storm as compared with multiple coatings of cinders.
The only problem the university ran into in transitioning from cinders to a calcium chloride and rock salt mixture was fine-tuning the amount to use during snow and ice storms.
The costs associated with using cinders labor, plus wear and tear on equipment, plus damage to homes and cars and cleaning up the mess cinders leave behind might make some other method of improving road traction more effective.

Update: Emaciated cattle moved from New Mexico ranch
A cattle owner in New Mexico has been charged with 25 counts of cruelty to animals after New Mexico Livestock Board officials found about 1,000 emaciated cattle on his ranch.
The ABQ Journal reports New Mexico Livestock Board officials served a search warrant on May 17 and could confiscate the animals.
Two consecutive years of drought have taken a toll on the livestock on the drought stricken ranch near Fort Sumner. Upon entering the 180,000-acre property at Double V Ranch, officials found 25 dead cattle and others at risk of starving to death.
This story from KRQE-TV over the Memorial Day weekend said farm owner Richard Evans has a warrant out for his arrest.

Doesn't an extra day off in the middle of the week feel so luxurious? We were fortunate to have a public holiday this week, so I wanted to make a light dinner to celebrate. It's been scorching hot here in Sydney, so something light and summery was definitely in order!
I've fallen in love with smoked trout I used for the salad recently. It's such an awesome summertime ingredient (why not for a light meal in winter too), and surprisingly versatile. This paste is another favourite of mine from Finnish summers. Often it is served with new potatoes and a fresh salad on the side, but I bought some bread and nice olives (oh how I love those Sicilian ones!), and used rest of the trout for a salad. Perfect summer meal with a glass of wine on a day off!
Smoked Trout Paste
250g light sour cream
100g smoked trout
3 tbsp chives, finely chopped
2 tbsp dill, finely chopped
1/2 lemon zest (finely chopped) and juice
tiny pinch of salt
freshly ground black pepper
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least half an hour before serving. Serve with new potatoes or nice bread and a salad on the side.

That is, normal defined relative to myself.
I'm pretty sure that's what everyone else does too.
Relative to most people, I'm-- well, me.
Internally I'm a Punk. Externally I'm a Suit.
I'm a reliable sort, who just happens to like to do strange things and meet interesting people.
I get the honor of having the rarest personality type. The simplest way to imagine me is as an absent-minded professor. It's wrong, but it'll do until you've spent enough time to get a sense of me. Just imagine I think backwards and end up very normal from the other side.
My puppy-dog eyes are hilarious. Apparently this is not the point of puppy-dog eyes. So I'm going to have to practice.
I grew up in the Midwest, but I've spent almost half my life on the East Coast.
I'm trained as a scientist and a performer. I'm probably a lot more the performer now because I'm employed as a technical manager for hospitals. So I create a lot more than I discover. I get called professor without irony, even though it's not accurate.
I'm a geek, and I spend too much time with machines, but I need people. So I like to do things that are active and participatory.
It's actually kinda odd to admit that my shit is pretty much together. I've got friends, a good job, good opportunities for the future and lots to do. --Damn, I think I've become an adult. I'd just prefer to have someone to share it with.
I count as a Discordian, Zen Atheist from a Jewish perspective, or maybe a Secular Humanist Jew with an odd sense of humor. We need Discordian as a religious choice so that I can be quite serious and laughing about it at the same time.
Goal for 2013: Kill zero or fewer people. [I do medical decision making software.]
I was married once, long ago. That's how I ended up in NYC with nothing but what fit in my car. In the end it was good for me, but if I get married again you're probably stuck with me.
So nope, not pure, not perfect, not without (literal) scars. But I'm largely housebroken, and I know lots of stuff. [Note: Literal scars are not from past relationship, nor knife fighting, but I'm willing to pretend if it makes for a good story.]

I can make your business better, but I'm not interested in running it for more than a week.
I'm really bad at paperwork.
Apparently the ability to drive a 14-foot manual transmission truck in heavy traffic uphill is not universal. I can do that.
I can also wield a chainsaw, ride a horse, use an arc welder, and scuba dive. Though not at the same time.
I tend to read web comics and non-fiction with the occasional bit of genre fiction.
Brazil, Blade Runner, ClockWork Orange, Sin City, A Lion in Winter, Fight Club, Delicatessen, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Incredibles, Spirited Away, La Dolce Vita, Office Space
I appreciate and enjoy critical analysis, however, I find that I don't do it to movies as my first pass. I like to experience a movie more that deconstruct it.

Climate change, geopolitics, religion as a social system, Science Education, the work of acting.
Starting cults for fun, Computer interfaces, Medical information workflows.
Systems lots of systems, how things interconnect and how to change them.
The way words flow and change.
Writing jokes
There ought to be some sort of Discordian koan here about the nature of identity and self, but it would just be me inventing philosophy again. I never know quite what to make of people taking my world view more seriously that I do. "We are what we are except when we're not. Y'know."
Avoiding the bridge-and-tunnel crowd.
Yes, I'm probably playing with words and written stances. I'm not so concerned with a script that's known to work. So I'm afraid you'll just have to hope I happen to be writing in a style you like when you read me. Else, "If we shadows hath offended..."
You've been touched by his noodly appendage.
You like absent-minded professor types, who think too fast, occasionally redefine words, make horrendous social gaffs and get away with it by being absurdly nice.
You like brains attached to bodies.
You can write between the lines.
You actually majored in Psychoceramics.
You want to try out for my team. (or just play pickup)

Former best friends Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton could not resist the same taste they have, especially when dealing with man, naming that of professional skateboarder Chad Muska.
What's new on them is that Nicole was on Wednesday June 7th, 2006 spotted shopping in Hollywood with Chad, who as everybody to know, is one of Paris' exes.
Question, is Nicole dating Chad? If yes, then what Paris would do about it remembering that she's kind of jealous when her friends hang with her ex-boyfriends. Just wait and see.
