Wanted man in Mexico, Bruce Beresford-Redman who is accused of killing his wife is due to stand a trial later this year.
Mexican prosecutors have filed a formal request with U.S. authorities to extradite reality TV producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, so he can stand trial for the murder of his wife. The "Survivor" executive became a wanted man in Mexico earlier this month when a judge issued a warrant for his arrest following the death of his wife Monica, whose body was found in a sewer near the hotel where the couple was holidaying in April.
Beresford-Redman was ordered to remain in Mexico as authorities investigated the crime, but he escaped and resurfaced in Southern California, where he was found living with his two children. Mexican officials subsequently charged the producer with the killing and they are now seeking permission from their U.S. counterparts to extradite the suspect so he can face the allegations.
A U.S. federal judge will hold a hearing to decide whether or not to approve the request, although Beresford-Redman's lawyer, Richard Hirsch, insists he will do everything in his power to fight the extradition.
he producer has denied any involvement in his wife's murder, and, in a recently-issued statement, he said, "I am devastated at her loss; and I am incensed at the suggestion that I could have had anything to do with her death. I am innocent. My children have had one parent taken from them by a senseless act of violence. I implore the Mexican authorities not to take their remaining parent by a miscarriage of justice and to do what is right not just what is expedient."

Columbus, O. (Dec. 27)
The sum of $20,000 was left by the late Joseph Schonthal to organizations and activities in which the Union of American Hebrew Congregations is interested. Mr. Schonthal, who died Dec. 15 at the age of 75, bequeathed $10,000 to the Hebrew Union College endowment fund, $5,000 to the Union's Department of Synagogue and School Extention and $5,000 to its synagogue pension fund for rabbis. Mr. Schonthal built a model home for the orphaned in Columbus and for 25 years was president of the Bryden Road Temple. A member of the board of managers of the Department of Synagogue and School Extension of the Union, he was also the founder of the Hermine Schonthal Community House, of the Schonthal Camp, and of the Jewish Infants' Home. He was also the president of the Jewish Charities here and a contributor to many non-Jewish causes.

Sudden heavy rainfalls can hit an area hard, sometimes leading to unexpected flooding throughout an entire neighborhood. Plumbing failures can quickly release hundreds of gallons of water and small water intrusions or minor plumbing leaks can be easy to overlook, yet over time, they can lead to major problems. Water damage of any kind, to any home or building, should be conducted right away.
Fire Damage
A fire in your home or office leaves plenty of smoke and water damage. AdvantaClean staff are trained to clean it up, and to clean it up right – the first time! If you have smoke or water damage you are going to need a team of professionals to do the job.
Duct Cleaning
If it is in your ducts, it is in the air that you breathe. There is a video at the bottom of this page that is less than seven minutes long, but it is a MUST SEE!
Mold is a common fungus found almost everywhere, inside and outside, year round. There are literally thousands of species of mold and it grows where there is moisture and oxygen, multiplying as small, microscopic spores. As mold travels through the air, it attaches to structures in and around homes and buildings. Once mold takes hold, it can cause discoloration and damage to drywall, flooring and other materials.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
According to FEMA, almost 3,000 residential fires are reported every year which are directly related to dryers. Of these, 34 percent of residential clothes dryer fires were caused by dirty dryer vents.
If you are using multiple cycles to get your clothes dry, it can be costly by using more energy and makes your dryer work harder. Dryer vent cleaning is an often overlooked, but important step in maintaining your home.

New Amazon shopping site supports charity
Amazon has started a new website for its online store that will donate a fraction of shoppers' purchase amounts to charity.
Amazon.com Inc. started the site, smile.amazon.com, on Wednesday. The world's largest online retailer said people will find the same items and the same prices that they would on its regular site or mobile app, with some exceptions.
But the Seattle company will donate half a percent of the purchase amount to a charity of the shopper's choosing. Amazon said people can choose from nearly 1 million organizations across the country.
There is no cap on the total donation amount. Subscription renewals are not eligible for donations.

MORAGA, Calif. -- Former University of Oregon golfer Tye Gabriel has enrolled at Saint Mary's College and will be eligible to compete for the two-time West Coast Conference champion Gaels this fall.
Gabriel, a native of Portland, played in five tournaments in his two years at Oregon and registered a 75.44 stroke average as a sophomore last season.

We expect Tye to fit in well with the team and provide even greater competition for traveling spots. His ability to impact our team on the golf course should be a nice addition to the program. Tye also excels in the classroom and his personality is a great fit for our program."
A 2011 graduate of Lake Oswego (Ore.) High School, his helped lead the Lakers to three Three Rivers League titles and one state championship. As a junior, he finished as co-medalist at the Oregon state championships.

Soccer News of Sunday, 9 March 2014
Source: GHANAsoccernet.com
Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris inspired Valenciennes to a memorable 2-1 victory over Stade Rennes after assisting and scoring the match-winner at the Stade du Hainaut in the French Ligue 1.
The 22-year-old had set up Mathieu Dossevi for Valenciennes' equaliser in the 54th minute before he elected himself to convert a 74th minute penalty to crown his impressive performance on the night.
Swedish international Ola Toivonen put Rennes ahead three minutes into the second-half but Waris ensured the Red and Whites got on level terms when he squared for Dossevi to bury the ball home to the level.
The Spartak Moscow loanee continued to lead his side's attack and piled more pressure on Rennes defence which did not have Ghana defender John Boye (the center-back was bench).
As Valenciennes continued to mount the pressure, Rennes' Cameroonian defender Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik fouled Tongo Doumbia inside the box and received a straight red-card for the challenge.
Waris stepped up and struck the ball home neatly to hand a precious victory to Valenciennes and take his Ligue 1 tally to 5 in 9 games.
The striker rejoined his club on Thursday after playing 90 minutes in Ghana's international friendly loss to Montenegro on Wednesday.

A teenager running as a Tory councillor in the upcoming elections is encouraging other young people to vote.
Hamna Qureshi, 18, gave a speech to fellow A-Level students on the importance of voting on Friday, March 14, at St Mark's Church of England Academy in Mitcham.
Miss Qureshi, who moved to London from Pakistan two years ago, said young people can be lazy but are an important part of the community and should use their power to vote if they are unhappy with the status quo.
She will be running in Longthornton ward, Mitcham, at the local elections on May 22.
Miles Windsor, Tory councillor for Cannon Hill and Barbara Mansfield, former Merton councillor, also addressed pupils at the event.

Just yesterday, in this thread...How to Defeat a Liberal in a Debate...raytri had this to say about pragmatarianism...
Right. Because taxpayers are going to take the time to research all the available options and carefully weigh what needs funding.
For that matter, who decides what options are available to be chosen from? Within a broader category (like, say, defense), who decides what weapons systems will be bought, and how many?
We have representatives for a reason: they're supposed to spend the time developing the expertise and studying the options to make good decisions on our behalf. We can then judge them by the results, and vote them out if we don't like the results. It's a very rational division of labor.
The fact that many Congresspeople are idiots, or deep partisans from safe districts, is a problem. But direct democracy at the level of granularity you're talking about isn't a solution.Are you a collector? I sure am. So I added his response to my collection...Unglamorous but Important Things. But that's not all that raytri had to say about the subject...
BTW, there's a science fiction short story based on the premise of individual allocation of taxes. It's called "We the People", written by Jack Haldeman: http://www.sff.net/people/jack.haldeman/people.htmW00t! Partial knowledge for the win!
The problem is thus in no way solved if we can show that all the facts, if they were known to a single mind (as we hypothetically assume them to be given to the observing economist), would uniquely determine the solution; instead we must show how a solution is produced by the interactions of people each of whom possesses only partial knowledge. To assume all the knowledge to be given to a single mind in the same manner in which we assume it to be given to us as the explaining economists is to assume the problem away and to disregard everything that is important and significant in the real world. - Friedrich Hayek, The Use of Knowledge in SocietySpeaking of partial knowledge...I quickly updated the Wikipedia entry on Tax Choice. Wikipedia, tax choice and Buddha's parable of the blind men and the elephant are all based on the concept of partial knowledge.
The science fiction story by Jack Haldeman was a lot shorter than I had imagined...it took less than 5 minutes to read...but it was even better than I had imagined. Here's what Haldeman himself had to say about his story, which was published in 1983...
"We, the People," written in a flush of bitter anger, but with an undertone of hope -- has over the years gathered me more response than anything else I've ever written. It has appeared in a variety of newsletters from such diverse organizations as Libertarians and CPAs. I was told that someone once sent copies to all the members of the Senate when they were considering tax reform. It has been used in classrooms to teach the critical difference between a Democracy and a Republic. I wrote it years ago, but I feel it is as pertinent today as it was when it appeared in Analog magazine. - Jack C. Haldeman II, Political Science Fiction1983 was a long time ago! You'd figure that somebody would have already fleshed out the conceptual framework for the idea. Why hasn't the idea gone viral yet? If you get a chance check out Arnold Kling's blog entry...The Idea Factory.
Maybe going viral is a matter of connecting the right dots. When I searched google for other references to Haldeman's story I found this large and relatively recent dot on the subject...Voluntary Tax Rates and Personalized Earmarks: How to Solve the Debate over Taxes. How many more dots have to be connected before the tax choice movement can gain momentum?

DUDLEY Zoo got a surprise visit from around 3,000 extra animals after the arrival of a massive swarm of bees.
The swarm of honey bees settled on a tree next to the camel enclosure on June 19, creating a buzz around the zoo which required professional help to sort out.
Staff summoned Sedgley bee-keeper Robert Cheswick and following a two-hour operation the swarm was removed to form a new colony.
Dudley Zoo's head of communications, Jill Hitchman said: "Thankfully, it was in a quiet part of the zoo at the end of the day and the bees didn't head towards any animals."
Mr Cheswick, said: "It was quite a large swarm, made up of honey bees, which I believe had relocated from somewhere fairly close.
"I snipped the branch off the tree, complete with attached bees and then transferred them to a container before taking them home."

|Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940
|Section 26-A - Banning the use of Quinacrine as a method of female sterilization
|Section 26-A - Banning the use of Quinacrine as a method of female sterilization
Banning the use of Quinacrine as a method of female sterilization - Petition for mandamus directing respondents No. 1 and 2 to initiate immediate steps to ban the use of Quinacrine in the form of pellets or otherwise as a method of sterilization-it also prays for a mandamus directing the respondents in the said petition to initiate proceedings under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 against all those engaged in the importation, manufacture, transmission, sale and use of the said medicine in the form of pellets or otherwise as a method of sterilization. A mandamus directing the respondents to issue a Notification under Section 26-A of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 banning the use of Quinacrine as a method of sterilization was also prayed for-the Government of India issued a Notification No. 499 (E) dated 14.8.1998 under Section 26-A of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 prohibiting the import, manufacture, transmission, sale and use of Quinacrine and its salts in any dosage form for female sterilization or contraception. The present writ petition that purports to have been filed in public interest challenges the validity of the said notifications and against the use of the drug in question has gone through trials and is based on opinions of the Experts placing reliance upon scientific data collected from time to time, this is no reason to declare the drug to be safe for use as a contraception or for female sterilization�the question whether a particular drug is or is not safe for use by human beings, is a matter which would require not only Expert opinions to arrive at a correct conclusion, but also data based on scientific trials and experiments. In the absence of any material to conclusively prove that the drug is safe for female sterilization or contraception, it will be hazardous to make any pronouncement about its efficacy or to reintroduce the user thereof in exercise of judicial power, especially one in purported public interest under Article 226 of the Constitution of India-difficult to issue direction for reintroduction of the drug.
Prof. Dr. Ashi R Sarin vs. Union of India and others, Punjab and Haryana High Court, 2009 (1) Drugs Cases (DC) 291

At a rally in Bardoli, Rahul Gandhi said Narendra Modi did not understand Vallabhbhai Patel's ideology while Modi hit back saying Congress had forgotten the freedom fighter
Bardoli/Guwahati: A war of words has broken out between Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi over constructing a statue of India's first home minister Vallabhbhai Patel.
Rahul Gandhi believes the Bharatiya Janata Party does not understand Sardar Patel's ideologies. Narendra Modi (right). File Pic
Gandhi said the BJP did not understand Patel's ideology but was erecting his statue, to which Modi hit back, saying the Congress has "forgotten Patel".
The Gandhi scion, speaking at a rally in Bardoli in Gujarat, said, "Those who do not understand the ideology of Sardar Patel want to make his statue."He added, "A poisonous mentality killed Mahatma Gandhi."
Meanwhile, Modi at his rally in Guwahati, said the Congress has forgotten the ideology of Patel.
"Everyone says that you are from BJP and a part of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and you are constructing the statue of unity... For you, he might be just a party leader (of Congress), for us, he is a national leader," Modi said.
"Sardar Patel is a national figure. He doesn't belong to any party. The Congress has forgotten him. We have forced them to remember him after 60 years," he added.
Modi has announced that the statue of Patel on the banks of the Narmada in Gujarat, would be the tallest in the world.
Modi is a person who only wants to use bad words for other political leaders and he thinks himself as wise, clever and knows all the ABC of politics..in his speeches we can't see any model for the development of nation.. but one can see him criticizing the opposition..and playing with the facts..such a person can't be the PM of the nation
It is easy to give speeches Mr Modi but difficult to be the PM of India. Modiji stop being dramatic in your war of words, show how you will be better than Congress.
One can deliver speech on the stage very easily but it is very difficult to serve people by being face to face .. rahul ever cared for the poor people and tried to serve as much he can.. only UPA government has given them work by MNREGA and shelter.. at least now they are capable enough to earn money and serve their family.

Île d'Yeu is an island and commune just off the Vendée coast of western France. The island's two harbours, Port-Joinville in the north and Port de la Meule, located in a rocky inlet of the southern granite coast, are famous for the fishing of tuna and lobster.
Administratively, the commune of L'Île-d'Yeu (with that spelling) forms part of the Vendée department and the Pays de la Loire region of France.
The island is reached by ferry from Fromentine or Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. Air transportation is available at Île d'Yeu Aerodrome , with commercial service from Nantes Airport.

new work up on site
New work is up my website at www.colinpantall.com, including the Life on Mars series and Flora, the Flower portraits, both of which are works in progress. Any thoughts or comments are welcome, especially on the new Life on Mars images.
Thanks to Tadhg Devlin who did my website.

Colin, I've wanted to leave a comment about this work for a couple of days. I've just posted about it so "killing two birds with one stone" here's the post.
Colin Pantall http://www.colinpantall.com/ has been featured here on this blog before. Well here he is again because, I'm a big fan of his work and it's my blog so I can. Colin also has a blog http://www.colinpantall.blogspo.com/ which is where I learnt about his new work "Flora" & "Life On Mars" that he had recently uploaded to his main website. I am loving how he has made his daughter, Isobel central to this body of work. The work has been described as, " exploring the psychological and physical escapism of childhood". I love these photographs, Quiet, reflective, no gimmicks. This is amounting to a powerful series, and it's proving my point that knowing a subject, really knowing a subject is the way to meaningful work.

How are your punctuation skills? Try this comparison exercise to find out
By Bryan A. Garner, Originally Published in ABA Journal Magazine
My fellow lawyers often bristle when I tell them that, on the whole, our profession can't punctuate. It's rare that I don't have to change commas, colons or hyphens in almost every line of type in any brief or contract I review. But that's because I'm applying the standards of The Chicago Manual of Style, Words into Type, The Elements of Style (affectionately known as Strunk and White), or my own guide, The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style. These guides are all in broad agreement about the elaborate cuing system we're supposed to use to help readers understand our sentences and paragraphs. Let's take two examples from well-edited journals: Harper's Magazine and The Atlantic. Full Article
How to Suck at Networking
by Ruth Carter, Originally Published in Attorney at Work
My wife is about a million times smarter than I am. (No … 100 billion.) For my money, that's the recipe for a successful marriage. I'm a lawyer; she's a legal assistant. We don't work together, though — because that would be the recipe for a failing marriage. Not only do I have a deep personal respect for my wife, but I also have a similar professional respect for what she does at the office. She knows more than I ever did about substantive law, even if you count the corpus of what I did know when I was still an active practitioner, many moons past. Full Article
How to Avoid Non-Equity Purgatory

Rural Practice Initiative Associate and Summer Clerkship Placement Program
Are you interested in hiring a clerk this summer? Are you a law student thinking about practicing in rural Nebraska but still have questions? The NSBA Rural Practice Committee is providing an opportunity for rural attorneys and law students to come together to discuss the 2015 clerkship program or full-time employment in rural Nebraska. Attorneys will have the opportunity to interview students at the Ramada Inn in Kearney on February 20, 2015 starting at 2:00 p.m. Each interview will last between 15-20 minutes. A reception will follow the interview session so that the lawyers and students can continue the conversation in an informal setting. Prior to the February 20 session, the students' resumes will be sent to lawyers attending the conference to ensure that student interviews are with attorneys from the area that they are interested in practicing.
The NSBA has also received a $15,000 grant from the American Bar Association that will allow the NSBA to expand the number of clerkship opportunities made available to law students. Ten lawyers and/or firms will receive $1,000 to help offset the cost of hiring a clerk and ten clerks will receive a $500 housing stipend. Law students attending a law school in Nebraska will be given preference for the stipend.
Attorneys: If you are interested in attending the conference, please contact Sam Clinch at 402-742-8125 or at email@example.com. You may also download the attorney application forms for the clerkship program here.

NSBA receives $25,000 grant to pilot improved access to court interpreter services
The Nebraska State Bar Association has received a $25,000 grant from Woods Charitable Fund to pilot an on-call interpreter service for attorneys.
In 2013, the Minority Justice Committee, a joint Committee of the Nebraska State Bar Association and Nebraska Supreme Court, conducted an assessment of interpreter services in Nebraska's state courts. One of the primary findings was that while the Nebraska Judicial Branch does a good job of providing high quality interpreter services for all in-court proceedings, the quality of communication for out-of-court communications, particularly between attorneys and their clients is lacking.

Enzyme Immobilization - Methods and ApplicationsBY: Shikha Sharma | Category: Biotech-Research | Submitted: 2010-11-10 07:42:56
Article Summary: "Enzyme immobilization is one of the most promising approaches for exploiting enzyme-based processes in biotransformation, diagnostics, pharmaceutical and food industries. Several hundred of enzymes have been immobilized in a variety of forms including penicillin G acylase, lipases, proteases, invertase, etc. and are being curre.."
Enzyme engineering Conference held at New Hampshire (1971) defined immobilized enzymes as, "Enzymes physically confined or localized in a certain defined region of space with retention of their catalytic activities and which can be used repeatedly and continuously".
This technique involves immobilization of enzymes on an inert, insoluble matrix such as calcium alginate. Studies of immobilized enzymes, in which the enzyme is attached to an insoluble matrix, have displayed subtly different kinetic behavior from that of free enzymes. The reasons for this are:
i) The perturbation of the 3-D structure of the enzyme by the immobilizing matrix
ii) Changes in the microenvironment of the active site of the immobilized enzyme.
Kinetic studies of immobilized enzymes are valuable for our understanding of their action in-vivo, especially their regulation, since there is evidence that in-vivo enzymes may be less free to diffuse in solution than was originally thought.
Methods of Immobilization
Immobilization of enzymes can be achieved by any of the following methods:-
i) Physical entrapment
ii) Micro-encapsulation
iii) Adsorption
iv) Covalent cross-linking
However, this is broadly divided into two types, as described below:-
1) Physical immobilization
• It forms no covalent bonds between the enzymes and the supporting matrix.
• Earlier approaches include the adsorption of the enzyme onto animal charcoal or alumina but current advancements make use of ionic adsorption technique onto ion-exchange resins, especially those of the sephadex type and controlled-pore glass.
• Simplicity
• General applicability
• High yield
• Confers ability to replace the immobilized enzyme when its catalytic activity has decreased below an acceptable level.
• Need to control the working conditions for the use of immobilized enzyme to prevent its desorption.
• Products of enzyme entrapment in liposomes (artificially produced concentric spheres of phospholipids bilayers), polyacrylamide and agarose suffer from poor flow properties, inefficiency and progressive leaching of the enzyme.
• Desorption of the protein resulting from changes in temperature, ionic strength and hydrogen ion concentration.
2) Chemical immobilization
• One covalent bond formation between the enzyme and the matrix.
• Procedures are similar to those used in affinity chromatography.
• A loss of activity would be observed if attachment involves amino acid residues at the active site of the enzyme.
• The matrix may be polysaccharide, polymers (nylon, inorganic carriers such as glass and titanium dioxide).
1) The first reported application is the production of L-amino acids from immobilized aminoacylase.
2) Production of a chiral molecule is of principal importance for pharmaceutical and research purposes because isomers formed differ significantly with respect to their biological properties.
3) Use of immobilized glucose isomerase in food industry for the production of high fructose syrup as fructose is sixteen times sweeter than glucose.
4) A number of immobilized enzymes are also becoming an important part of a variety of biosensors. The term 'biosensor' is used for analytical tools or systems, which make use of an immobilized biological material alongwith a suitable transducer device to convert a biochemical signal to a quantifiable chemical signal.
5) Immobilized enzymes have an increasing number of analytical applications, especially in clinical situation where they differ in the potential for fast, sensitive and accurate determinations of analytes such as blood glucose and urea.
6) Most significant development is the combination of immobilized enzymes with high specificity and sensitivity electroanalytical chemistry. The resulting enzyme electrode offers an advantage of accurate analysis without the need of sample preparation.
7) With reference to industrial use, the solutions of enzymes are commonly employed in the synthesis of antibiotics and steroids.
8) Another recent development involves the quantification of enzymes, substrates and other analytes in samples of clinical importance. For this, impregnate the reagents including the enzyme onto an immobile structure. On addition of a drop of test sample to the matrix, the analyte in the sample triggers an enzyme reaction, resulting in the formation of colored product. The intensity of color can be measured with the help of reflectance spectroscopy.
In conclusion, enzyme immobilization is one of the most promising approaches for exploiting enzyme-based processes in biotransformation, diagnostics, pharmaceutical and food industries. Several hundred of enzymes have been immobilized in a variety of forms including penicillin G acylase, lipases, proteases, invertase, etc. and are being currently used as catalysts in various large scale processes.

Ever since the C7 Corvette has been mentioned, we've heard how General Motors and Chevrolet wanted to appeal to a younger audience with the car as it heads into more than 60 years of production.
That premise has carried over to the final stages before the seventh generation is unveiled to the public on Jan. 13, 2013 in Detroit.
Clay Dean, global director of advanced design at GM, recently explained the background behind Chevrolet's decision to work with a game designer and allow the use of a camouflaged C7 in a game before the real car is even available to drive.

LDRA Certification Services assures IEC 61508 certification for safety-critical industrial products
1 Comment
Embedded World, Nürnberg - LDRA has created a certification services division that helps companies achieve compliance with IEC 61508 - Industrial Safety certification. Led by industry certification experts, LDRA Certification Services (LCS) assists engineering teams in creating, automating and following a process through to regulatory approval. The synergistic integration of the LDRA tools and the LCS expert IEC 61508 services make up the LCS solution.
IEC 61508 governs a broad range of electric, electronic, and programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety equipment, whether for controlling life-support systems in tough environments like submarines, or monitoring equipment performance or noxious gas levels in industrial plants. While the standard has always required risk assessment and safety analysis, the 2010 revision to IEC 61508 now requires bidirectional traceability, greatly increasing the regulatory burden on project managers. While LDRAs tool suite tracks and automates the links between requirements, code, and tests, the mandate extends beyond software and represents a new discipline for many development teams. Missteps in interpreting the standard can result in compliance failure, leading to cost overruns and product delays.
The strength of the LCS solution is reinforced by a team of industry experts with experience in hundreds of certifications. Leading the LCS team is Todd R. White, a systems and equipment FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) with Level A authority on all aircraft systems and equipment for both software and airborne electronic hardware according to DO-254. White, whose expertise extends into industrial electronic systems and standards, including IEC 61508, is flanked by Dr. Holly Hildreth, a safety engineer with expertise in a wide range of international standards. Dr. Hildreth provides certification expertise in IEC 61508 and related safety disciplines, including complete safety analysis from system-level Preliminary Hazard List, Preliminary Hazard Analysis and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to software FTA/Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). These analyses of safety requirements, design, code and test are then flowed back up into system-level analysis. The LCS teams collective expertise in all phases of software, hardware and system development, including the pending IEC 61508 TÜV certification, assures IEC 61508 certification applicants predictable and cost-effective success.
When it comes to high-quality, within budget and on schedule system development, many believe you can only achieve two of these three essential components, noted Ian Hennell, LDRA Operations Director. LDRA absolutely believes all three are obtainable and has created the LCS division to ensure that companies have the industrys most reliable experts and best-of-breed tools to help attain certification as easily as possible.
LCS manages the software component of its certification services using its certification technology integrated within the LDRA tool suite. From requirements traceability to analysis, unit testing and validation, the LDRA tool suite delivers a broad range of qualifiable verification capabilities that support IEC 61508 certification objectives at all SIL levels.
The LDRA tool suite manages and tracks all artifacts to achieve complete bidirectional traceability from requirements to model, code, test and verification, extending all the way down to object code and on-target testing. An IEC 61508-specific template streamlines industrial safety regulatory processes, outlining necessary certification processes and requirements. Modules within the LDRA tool suite manage and graphically depict the complex relationships between objectives, requirements, code and tests, automatically documenting all aspects of analysis, code verification and validation.
The full capabilities of the LDRA IEC 61508 certifiable support package will be demonstrated at Embedded World in Nürnberg, Germany from February 28 to March 1 in Hall 4. Visit booth 410 to see how a software project can achieve certifiable readiness via lifecycle traceability from requirements creation through development and validation for the certification standard needed.

" Address: 2 Row Avenue / Braehead / G51 4SY "
Campanile Glasgow Airport Hotel is in a very GOOD location! It's only 2 miles from Paisley Gilmour Street train station, 500 yards from Braehead shopping centre, it's eight minutes drive from Glasgow Airport and just 1 minute drive off of the M8 motorway junction 25A.
The hotel has modern air conditioning through out the whole hotel it also consists of 103 en-suite bedrooms with unlimited FREE wi fi and FREE parking for all guest booked into the hotel.
It also has 24hr reception access and has all the right facilities to make you feel right at home.
All bedrooms have a power shower and flat screen televisions with free view,a hairdryer with tea and coffee facilities which get refilled every day.
It also consists of a large and very modern fully licensed restaurant which provides a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a variety of foods as well as daily chefs specials. The hotel also offers 4 conference rooms that can hold upto 100 people great for people needing the rooms for work or for personal use.
In my experience from my travels this has vastly became my all time favorite Hotel in Glasgow. The great decor and comfy rooms make you feel like your right at home.
although the price can often be a bit expensive at times depending on what time of year you go, i'd still say it is worth it! The price varies from £16 a night to around £90 a night. Still a lot cheaper than some hotels out there and probably better quality. not a lot of hotels offer free unlimited wi fi now a days so that's a bonus it's self!
Anyone looking for a hotel in Glasgow that is a short walk and even shorter drive to the town and for restaurants and even the main train lines then this is the hotel for you!

Human embryonic stem cells (hES) offer great hope for the treatment of some devastating diseases, but finding a way to keep enough of these cells usable and healthy for transplantation in patients has been an ongoing problem. Now, scientists at UC Irvine have discovered a way to keep large quantities of these cells alive, a finding that could potentially lead to mass production of hES cells for therapeutic use at lower cost.
These findings appear in a paper in the early online version of the journal Nature Biotechnology.
UCI stem cell researchers Peter Donovan and Leslie Lock, along with April Pyle of Johns Hopkins University, found that molecules known as neurotrophins have a significant effect on whether hES cells survive in the laboratory. Although stem cells have the ability to self-renew and to differentiate into any cell in the body, it has been a challenge to keep them alive as single cells in an undifferentiated state.
In their studies, Donovan and Lock added neurotrophins to hES cells in the laboratory to see the effect they would have on cell survival. Neurotrophins normally encourage the survival of tissue in the nervous system. When three members of the family of neurotrophin growth factors – brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin 4 (NT-4) – were added to hES cells in culture, the cells' survival increased 36-fold.
"Keeping hES cells alive as single cells has been extremely difficult," Donovan said. "This fact has kept us from producing enough cells to be useful for therapy, and has limited our ability to genetically manipulate the cells, which we must do before they can be transplanted into patients. It appears that if we treat hES cells with neurotrophins, we can produce more of them faster and, hopefully, at much lower cost."
Understanding the role that neurotrophins play in stem cell survival could also help researchers with another major problem they face in using hES cells for therapy. Rather than treating disease, undifferentiated stem cells that are transplanted into the body often form tumors instead, causing harm to the patient. A significant challenge has been to prevent the formation of tumors by ensuring that all cells are differentiated before they are transplanted. The studies by Donovan and Lock show that this is even more crucial when that transplantation is made into areas of the body rich in neurotrophins.
"Much of the research regarding stem cell therapy today focuses on areas involving the nervous system, such as the spinal cord," Donovan said. "Neurotrophins help the growth of tissues in those areas and are commonly found in the nervous system. Therefore, when we use stem cells for therapy in those areas, we must be especially careful that no undifferentiated cells are transplanted where they could respond to neurotrophins and form tumors." The work by Donovan and Lock provides a potential solution to the problem. By treating stem cells in culture with chemicals that block the action of neurotrophins on hES cells, Donovan said, scientists can kill the undifferentiated stem cells before they are implanted into the body.
According to Donovan, the studies also offer further proof that new stem cell lines need to develop beyond those already in existence. Federally approved hES lines currently used for research were not created in the presence of growth factors such as neurotrophins. The work undertaken by Donovan and Lock indicates that cell lines not created in these optimal conditions may eventually mutate and lose their usefulness for therapeutic purposes.
This study was funded through grants from the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins University.
Donovan and Lock recently joined UCI's Stem Cell Research Center, which provides campus and visiting scientists an infrastructure to capitalize on recent stem cell breakthroughs, particularly in the areas of nerve repair and regeneration. In addition to holding a joint appointment in the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Medicine as a professor of developmental and cell biology and biological chemistry, Donovan is interim co-director of the Stem Cell Research Center. Lock holds appointments as assistant adjunct professor in developmental and cell biology and in biological chemistry. The university also is seeking support to construct a $60 million Stem Cell Research Institute facility aimed at propelling stem cell technology from the research lab to the clinic.

Wale Deleted His Twitter
More so than other rappers, Wale is known for his ability to mix it up with fans and critics on social media. Whether he's trying to learn more about anime or reviewing restaurants on Yelp, the Gifted rapper has a tendency to share bits of his personal life, ask questions and often argue with his detractors on various platforms, but especially on Twitter. It seems like he enjoys it. Or at least, he used to. This weekend Wale deleted his Twitter account.
While his Instagram remains active, it appears that the MMG affiliated artist is taking a little social media break. Given his typically active Twitter presence, the deletion of his account has lead to some rumors about what could have lead to the decision.
One theory involves a diss track by a former collaborator released this weekend. All Hip-Hop speculates that the hiatus is a result of a song released by D.C. rapper Southeast Slim, aka Sace. The track itself is titled "Forever Hitter Quitter" and it finds Sace taking aim at Wale over the beat of Meek Mill's "Dreams And Nightmares," with Sace claiming that Wale left his old friend behind after finding success in the music industry.
The description on the song's Audio Mack page explains some of the origin story behind the track. "If anyone knows Southeast (aka Sace) they know that there was a point in time when he and Wale were 'thick as theives' on the DC Hip Hop Scene," reads the description. "Then something 'happened.' Nobody really knows what 'happened,' but Wale blew up and Sace, kinda, didn't. Sace touches on a few topics in this track that may have contributed to his 'time' coming now and not 'earlier.'"
Then again, Wale could just be bummed about the Washington Redskins loss to the Broncos yesterday. He's a big fan of the team and even released a track for quarterback RGIII earlier this year. XXL reached out to a representative from Wale's camp for comment but has yet to hear back as of press time.

Fall 2012 Algonquin Reader: Stories behind StoriesJuly 11, 2012 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog
A forged Degas masterpiece • a mysterious Connecticut mansion • a hysterical and heartbreaking road trip • a sequestered and grieving husband • war and exile in Sri Lanka • the old country and the new world of one family.
These are the stories, the Fall fiction for Algonquin 2012. Complex, compelling tales already– and you've only read a few words, a prepositional phrase or two. Just imagine when you read more. You want to read more, don't you? You know you do. It's OK — you can admit it. You're among friends here.
And we have more — just a bit more — to whet your appetite for the tempting tales on our Fall 2012 list.

The Algonquin Reader
The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro • Life among Giants by Bill Roorbach • The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving by Jonathan Evison • Hikikomori and the Rental Sister by Jeff Backhaus • The Beach at Galle Road by Joanna Luloff • All This Talk of Love by Christopher Castellani
Read the stories behind the stories with essays by each author. Then read the stories — just a bit of them — with an excerpt from each one.
Here are a few more tidbits to pique your interest:
From Bill Roorbach's essay: "All of these elements tumbled around like socks in a dryer for decades, until one day a figure came into my head. She was a ballerina. She called herself Sylphide. She lived in a mansion across the way."
From Jeff Backhaus' essay: "But what really surprised me, what compelled me to keep writing deeper and deeper, was that for all its weirdness, in a way it wasn't weird at all — these characters' lives and dreams and frustrations were more familiar and immediate than we might like to admit."
From Jonathan Evison's essay: "When I set out to write this novel, I didn't envision it as a road novel. I've never had a desire to write a road novel — in fact, I was very resistant to the idea. But the characters led me to the road. They left me no choice. They all but dragged me kicking and screaming to the road."

Wonder has corrected his earlier statement that 'some people who think they're gay, they're confused'.
Stevie Wonder admitted that he did not know better when making a comment about Frank Ocean's sexual orientation. The "Superstition" singer apologized for saying Ocean was "confused" when he came forward with the truth of loving a man for the first time.
"I think honestly, some people who think they're gay, they're confused," said Wonder in an interview with Guardian. "People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond. I'm not saying all [gay people are confused]. Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that's them."
In a statement to The Advocate, Wonder clarified this, saying "I'm sorry that my words about anyone feeling confused about their love were misunderstood. No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music. Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man."
He continued, "What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period."

Swimmers have been given the all clear to dive into the waters of Lake Burley Griffin.
But the National Capital Authority has reminded the boating public of restrictions on the type of engines that can be used on the waterway.
As pleasure boats took to the lake in Thursday's sunshine, it warned that generally only craft driven by electric engines were allowed on the lake.
A water quality update, published on Thursday, found algae levels posed no problems for a swimmers, though the report showed that four of the eight lake zones recorded elevated bacterial levels.
Further samples were taken at East Basin, Ferry Terminal, Lotus Bay and Weston Park East on Thursday and the results were expected on Saturday.
If the levels remain high those zones will be closed for swimming, but will remain open for fishing, canoeing, and rowing.
The authority's chief executive, Gary Rake, said bacteria levels often spiked after storms such as those that swept Canberra on Christmas Eve.
He said the stormwater washed debris, such as duck faeces, into the lake, causing temporary leaps in bacteria numbers. But even if the four areas were closed, Mr Rake said popular swimming spots at Weston Park West, Black Mountain Beach, Central Basin and Yarralumla Beach would be open to bathers.
Water police, based in Yarralumla, patrol the lake regularly checking boat permits.

A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to The Philippians
Plummer's concern is to let the message of Philippians speak for itself, often making reference to the original language when greater insight into the meaning of the passage can be gained. Plummer provides an excellent balance between exegesis and exposition, making this book a valuable tool for the study of Paul's letter to the Philippians.

Western powers resumed talks with Iran Wednesday over its nuclear program – negotiations likely to be followed closely by French businesses eager for the chance to gain nearly 80 million potential new customers. If a deal is reached, it would mean the lifting of economic sanctions against Tehran [2], opening the door for Western firms to tap into the potentially lucrative Iranian market. It is a market that French firms used to know well and whose loss has been costly. French carmakers Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroën, for example, used to sell upwards of 500,000 vehicles a year in Iran, before being forced to leave the country in 2012 [3]following the imposing of fresh sanctions. Efforts are already underway to help French entrepreneurs lay the ground work for resuming business with Iran [4], supported by politicians as well as lobby groups such as the Cercle Iran Économie (Iran Economy Group). In the last few months, as the possibility of a nuclear deal nears, those efforts have accelerated. A delegation from the French Senate, headed by Finance Committee Chairman Philippe Marini, visited Tehran in April, while representatives from the French National Assembly followed in June. The traffic has not been all one way. Iran's Vice President Shahindokht Molaverdi and Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati visited France last month with the latter's schedule including a trip to Brest-based poultry firm Doux - a company currently in financial difficulties that could benefit enormously from access to the Iranian market. "Make contacts on the spot, don't wait until the last minute [5]," was the advice for French firms and entrepreneurs looking to make the most of such encounters, given by Michel Makinsky, a specialist on the Iranian economy, at a Cercle Iran Économie meeting in May. In the audience were around a hundred entrepreneurs and company heads who were part of a fact-finding trip to Iran in February. "I encourage these companies to go there (…) it would be a shame if someone overtook us," said Aymeri de Montesquiou, head of the France-Iran Friendship Group in the French Senate, at the time. [5]Competition for the Iran market is fierce. [5] Businesses across the world, but most notably in the U.S., are keen to fill the space left by the likes of Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroën [6] and gain access to Iran's 78 million consumers. U.S. giants such as Chrysler, General Motors and Boeing are moving to establish themselves in Iran once sanctions are lifted. The latter is already authorized to export parts there under the temporary nuclear agreement reached between the West and Iran in November. Meanwhile, around a dozen American university heads visited Iran in February to tour Tehran's best academic institutions in another sign of thawing relations between the U.S. and Iran. Not to be outdone, French firms are also preparing for their return to Iran. [7]Renault is currently searching for a financial partner for an Iranian re-launch, while Peugeot boss Maxime Picat has met with the brand's long-time partner in Iran, Iran Khodro, to discuss a return to the country. Avoiding U.S. sanctions France is also looking at ways to circumvent U.S. sanctions on financial transactions with Iran – currently one of the main obstacles to doing business there. Banks that deal with Iran can find themselves falling foul of U.S. authorities, as French bank BNP Paribas recently found to its extreme cost after being handed a near-$9 billion fine. But last month, the French Senate proposed using the state-owned Banque Postale – a subsidiary of France's post service - to finance business operations. As the Banque Postale has no dealings with the U.S., it would not be exposed to U.S. sanctions. This would be an astonishing move given it would require direct state intervention and likely anger Washington. But French politicians are eager to make sure they do not cede any advantages to the U.S. when it comes to conquering the Iranian market.

BBC Sport - Arsenal 3-2 Hull: Aaron Ramsey thrilled to net FA Cup winner
Mind-blowing to score winner - Ramsey
- From the section Football
Aaron Ramsey says it is "mind-blowing" to score the winning goal in the FA Cup final after striking in extra-time to seal a 3-2 win for Arsenal over Hull at Wembley.
The Gunners went 2-0 down after James Chester and Curtis Davies scored inside the first eight minutes, but Santi Cazorla's superb free-kick reduced the deficit.
Laurent Koscielny scrambled in the equaliser after 71 minutes, before Ramsey drove home the winner.
