Steps 1-4 explain how to install plone-2.5.5. If you already know this or already have it installed skip to step 5.
- Grab the Plone 2.5.5 Unified Installer from here
wget https://launchpad.net/plone/2.5/2.5.5/+download/Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller.tgz
- Unzip etc:
tar zxvf Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller.tgz
This gives us a copy of a folder called Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller?.
sudo mv Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller /opt/
- Apply the patch found here
ie, edit /opt/Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller?/install.sh by adding this:
echo "patching PIL to disable TK support ..." # patch to disable TK support in PIL cat >> setup.py.patch << _PIL_PATCH --- setup.py 2005-03-23 10:16:40.000000000 -0800 +++ setup.py.modified 2006-11-13 13:27:00.000000000 -0800 @@ -83,6 +83,7 @@ import _tkinter except ImportError: _tkinter = None +_tkinter = None def add_directory(path, dir, where=None): _PIL_PATCH patch setup.py < setup.py.patch
at line 456 with your favourite text editor (vim/pico/nano/gedit/etc). It should look like this:
455 cd $PIL_DIR 456 echo "patching PIL to disable TK support ..." 457 # patch to disable TK support in PIL 458 cat >> setup.py.patch << _PIL_PATCH 459 --- setup.py 2005-03-23 10:16: 40.000000000 -0800 460 +++ setup.py.modified 2006-11-13 13:27:00.000000000 -0800 461 @@ -83,6 +83,7 @@ 462 import _tkinter 463 except ImportError: 464 _tkinter = None 465 +_tkinter = None 466 467 def add_directory(path, dir, where=None): 468 _PIL_PATCH 469 patch setup.py < setup.py.patch 470 $PY ./setup.py build_ext -i
- Install Plone-2.5.5:
cd Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller sudo ./install.sh
Either remember or take note of the admin password. Or, preferably, notice that there is a file called /opt/Plone-2.5.5/adminPassword.txt that has this info in it.
- a. Grab the latest stable release from here:
wget http://plone.org/products/plumi/releases/0.1-final/plumi-0-1-final-tar.bz2
unzip this somewhere recognisable:
cd /opt tar xvfj plumi-0-1-final-tar.bz2
- b. OR grab the plumi trunk from svn:
cd /opt sudo svn co https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/Plumi/trunk/ plumi-trunk
This creates a folder called plumi-trunk which contains all the extra Products you need.
- Edit the configs to notice the Plumi products. The two files are:
If you went the stable release, add the following line under the products section:
products /opt/plumi-0.1-final
else if you went for SVN, add
products /opt/plumi-trunk
- Install the python egg imsvdex
sudo /opt/Plone-2.5.5/Python-2.4.4/bin/easy_install imsvdex
- Start the Zope/Plone? server:
sudo /opt/Plone- 2.5.5/zeocluster/bin/startcluster.sh
- Grab yr browser, go to what is known as the ZMI (or here, they point to the same place). You will need to enter the admin/password combo from step 4 at this point.
In the top right corner you will see the Add Products drop down menu. Choose "Plone Site", and fill out the form. Whatever you put into the ID field will be the URL of your site. Eg: http://localhost:8080/the_id_field
- Goto yr new Plone site and in the top right you will see Preferences. Click that, then choose Add/Remove? Products from the top of the left column.
You should only need to install 'ATVideo', 'PlumiSkin?', 'PressRoom?' - all the rest of the products will be pulled in by the installers of those three products.
Now you have a video sharing site!
By default there is a user called Plumi with password plumi123. You should change this. Also, the zope admin user (under whose name you added the plumi products) cannot post vids - as they are not a user of the plone site.
To configure transcoding, see /opt/plumi_trunk/indytube/INSTALL.plone
If you have any problems, see /opt/plumi-trunk/INSTALL.txt

Purattasi Masam, or Puratasi, is the sixth month in a Tamil calendar and is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara (Lord Vishnu). Saturdays in the Purattasi month are dedicated to Lord Shani and special prayers are offered for escaping from the bad effects of Sani in one's horoscope. In 2015, Puratasi month starts on September 17 and ends on October 16.
Legend has it that Lord Venkateswara appeared on earth in Purattasi Masam. Lord Vishnu devotees consider Puratasi as the ideal month for thanking Lord Vishnu for preserving the Universe. Lord Vishnu is believed to do the job of preservation in Hinduism.
Special prayers are offered at the
in Purattasi Month. Srirangam Ranganathaswamy Temple
Another legend suggests that Lord Saneswara (Shani) loses his powers in Puratasi month and so it is easy to escape his malefic influences.
Devotees of Lord Venkateswara take only a meal on Puratasi Saturdays. Some devotees only eat vegetarian food during the month.
On Saturdays, Naamum, the two feet symbol of Lord Vishnu's feet, is drawn on the forehead by males and women opt for a red dot. Hymns dedicated to Lord Vishnu are chanted on Saturdays.
Devotees in large number visit Lord Vishnu temples and special flags with Garuda emblem are hoisted in Vishnu temples.

Tim Thomas still could be a terrific hockey player.
There's no way to know for sure, really, until he sees live competition for the first time in 18 months or so. We'll assume he wasn't setting up any intense pick-up games at his home in Colorado.
"I feel rejuvenated, refreshed and I'm ready to go. I'm really enjoying myself," Thomas said Tuesday.
The ex-Bruins goalie (and ex-Islander … receipt? Accounting loophole?) is a Florida Panther now, and he says he's focused on the game—not those other, uh, Facebook-based issues that clouded his last few months in Boston, where he won two Vezina Trophies and a Stanley Cup before deciding to take a year away from the game.
Thomas said he's here to play hockey and isn't interested in rehashing political flap. Didnt miss he media. #flapanthers— Harvey Fialkov (@hfialkov) September 17, 2013
That's fair enough, assuming Thomas doesn't rehash the political flaps himself. His last Facebook post, on Aug. 18, linked to a story about the A&E show "Duck Dynasty," which is a series of shot-for-shot, episodic remakes of the show "Dynasty" featuring only anthropomorphized ducks. Not really, but here's an excerpt:
You just know that kind of success has got to make miserable the dainty, little, progressive crowd who are trying legislatively and culturally to peel America away from the pro-God-and-country values that the cast of Duck Dynasty showcases with hairy-chinned hilarity.
Indeed, without a sex tape; without shoving transvestites down our throats; without lauding rank, familial dysfunctionalism; or parading feral children of the corn, or mocking God, or having sex on camera for their grandparents to see, or selling moonshine, or being naked and afraid, or having their children yell, "F--- you!" at their parents during church, America has voted with their time and with their cash that they would rather watch the Duck Commanders move through their day than watch the cultural chum slick that Hollywood dishes up, ad nauseum, et infinitum.
And so on. The story ran on Townhall.com, the online home of Ann Coulter—so it's partisan. Quite, in fact.
The point is that if Thomas wants to avoid talking about politics, it'd help if he avoided making overtly (and fairly radical) political decisions. That's what was so bizarre about his opting out of the Bruins' White House visit. Do as you please. Just don't get galled when people notice.
TT on W-House: "I didn't want to lie and say I was sick. I thought I gave, from my viewpoint, a very honest assessment of the situation."— Joe McDonald (@ESPNJoeyMac) September 17, 2013
His assessment of the situation was, and presumably remains, that the size of the government is a direct threat to U.S. citizens.
"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government
Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL."
That's in the past, though, like Thomas said, and there's no reason for him to answer more questions about it. There's nothing more to say, either. But if he feels the need to share his political beliefs in a public forum, hopefully he accepts that questions and, potentially, criticism are going to follow. How he responds is up to him—but it's not anyone's job or duty to ignore it because he'd prefer it that way.
Maybe ironically, given the last line of Thomas' White House post, he said that the time away made him miss the group aspect of playing sports.
"I have a new love for playing the game, and just a newfound appreciation for being able to play the game at this level, and to be part of a team," Thomas said.
And Thomas is joining a team that needs him. Jacob Markstrom is far from a finished product—he was, generally, either very good or very bad last season, and having someone like Thomas around can only help. Thomas also said he believes the Panthers are on the upswing, as the Bruins were when he joined them in 2006.
"I think I'll help (Markstrom) mostly through just the way that I'll carry myself and the way that I'll compete on a day-to-day basis," Thomas said. "I think I'll help him mostly by example, but along the way, if there's anything I can help him out with, I'm happy to do that."
Some other notes from his session:
— He got the itch from watching the Bruins' run to the Stanley Cup final. "I was so proud of those guys and what they did and what they accomplished last year. But it started to get the competitive juices flowing again."
— Did he regret leaving Boston? "That's a hard one to answer. In the big picture do I regret it? No. I made the right decision for me and I made the right decision for my family. I'm very happy with what's come out of in my own personal life. Is it hard to leave an organization like that, that gave me my opportunity to break into the NHL, and a place that … really accepted me as part of the family? Yeah, of course it's hard to do that. Having said all those things, it was the best decision to make for me and my family."
— What did he do with his time off? "I built some townhouses. I got involved in some business ventures. I tried to spend as much time as I could with my kids. And I went on a few hunting trips, one here in Florida last summer, an alligator hunt." Yes, he got one.

AT LEAST 100 households in the Itchen Valley are still experiencing faulty telephone lines.
Residents across Easton, Avington, Itchen Abbas and Martyr Worthy have been experiencing problems with their phones since before Christmas, but have only recently realised the scale of the issue.
Callers are unable to hear the receiver, and vice versa, with some phones becoming randomly useless.
Several residents have reported it to their service providers, most poignantly BT, and to Steve Brine, MP for Winchester and Chandler's Ford, who has been in contact with Open Reach who deal with telephone line infrastructure.
He has called for a major review of the exchange system in the area.
Open Reach reported back that there were no main underlying issues, and some problematic equipment has been recently replaced.
However, the new equipment has only improved the service for some residents, with Mr Brine calling for further action saying the response "isn't good enough".
He said: "This has been a consistent, or be it intermittent, nuisance for phone customers across these villages since way back in the autumn, and before Christmas.
"BT are taking it seriously and have assured me that they have been carrying out investigations, but they need to know that the job isn't done because there are still customers with issues."
BT have said there could be a variety of factors contributing to telephone problems, from fallen trees on telegraph poles to damage to underground equipment due to flooding.
They were unavailable for further comment.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt Fiscal Court members recently learned of an opportunity to refinance a bond issue undertaken to build the detention center.
The expectation was that the county would save about $40,000 a year over the life of the bond, which would mature in 2028.
While agreeing that refinancing of the bond issue will be a prudent move, Grant Satterly and Sue Blakeman of the Kentucky Association of Counties weren't sure that now would be the proper time.

Want to do something nice for the whole planet this holiday season and throughout the year? Here are some simple things that you can do to think green and conserve resources.
1. Reuse Materials
A great way to cut down on waste is by reusing resources. For instance, why throw away all those corrugated boxes when you can easily reuse them to ship your packages? With the help of Avery Shipping Labels with TrueBlock™ Technology you can label over the old labels and markings and completely cover up what's underneath. So you can reuse shipping boxes while still maintaining a neat and professional appearance.
Save packing materials to cut down on resources as well. Just store them neatly inside the boxes. That way, when you have a package to send out, you're totally ready—and totally eco-friendly.
2. Reduce Unnecessary Travel
With gas prices up and your time at a premium, don't make unnecessary trips. Avoid gas-guzzling travel to the Post Office (and waiting in line once you get there). Instead, send your packages right from home or office! You can actually calculate and print official USPS postage right from your own PC at www.avery.com/postage, powered by Stamps.com. Print paid postage stamps and shipping labels right at your desktop. And right now, Avery customers can get a free, four-week trial of these convenient services. Just go to www.avery.com/postage and register now.
3. Don't waste
Want a few more eco-friendly mailing tips?
- If you're sending out a big mailing, practice good list hygiene to avoid wasting postage and undeliverable pieces of mail. First, make sure that the addresses in your list are up-to-date and eliminate any duplicates. Next, use the Avery Wizard software for Microsoft® Office. It will guide you step-by-step through "mail merge" to print address labels for your mailing list in just a few clicks.
- Don't print more than you need to. Whether you're creating a short memo or a long report, don't print it out to proof it. Many people feel that they need to, but it's all a matter of habit. Proof your work right on your computer screen. You'll save resources and time.
- Use less. For instance, holiday cards are a great tradition, but it's all about the warm thoughts. So this year, send your warm wishes via a holiday postcard, using Avery Postcards, instead of a regular card. It's the same amount of caring, but uses half of the paper!

There is something to be said for charm, warm welcomes, cozy spaces and good gnocchi. Gianni Bartoletti certainly knows that. It was the foundation upon which he built his iconic Incontro in San Ramon years ago.
So it probably seemed like a great idea to expand in 2011, to move his successful restaurant to fresher, larger, swankier quarters in downtown Danville, a place with considerably more walk-up traffic than the original site in a neighborhood dotted with auto repair shops, a roller rink and the occasional fast-food joint.
But although Incontro did fairly well in its Danvillean digs, Bartoletti did not. He missed his cozy hands-on restaurant so much, he re-created it. Bartoletti and his wife, Melanie, reassembled their team, got their old place back and reopened in December as Gianni's Italian Bistro.
Here's the thing about neighborhood restaurants. When they're done really well — they're cozy and charming, and they make every customer feel loved — the food hardly matters. It could be terrific food or it could be merely OK, but when you go, you feel absolutely taken care of.
That's Bartoletti's genius. The new Gianni's is a warm, cozy bistro with creamy yellow walls and sconces that glow invitingly. The walls are hung with framed black-and-white photographs.
Bartoletti greets every guest at the door with a warm, Italian-accented "Buona sera" and makes a point of cruising through the restaurant periodically to make contact with each table. The servers are so delighted to see you and so anxious to please that the occasional boardinghouse stretch to deliver plates seems but a trifle. The place is crowded on a Tuesday night and again on a Thursday, for heaven's sake. Bartoletti has an undeniable fan base.
But if you're expecting SPQR, A16 or any of the new wave, polished riffs on creative, authentic, rustic Italian cuisine, you may not be impressed. The menu has some uneven spots, the server forgets to mention that two out of seven appetizers are unavailable, and the croutons on the barely dressed Caesar salad ($8) are so suspiciously uniform, tight-textured and sharply seasoned, that you find yourself thinking, store-bought?
So we were out of luck on the first two appetizers we ordered, a Salmone Curato ($10), house-cured Atlantic salmon with fennel and lemon, and a burrata with arugula and prosciutto ($12), but the Sfilatino ($12) was lovely, full of bright flavors and nice textures. Cannellini beans, red onions, basil and a bluefin tuna confit top toasted squares of Pugliese bread.
The Sfilatino was a stellar little dish, but a glance at the Monterey Aquarium's Sustainable Seafood Watch list has made us feel incredibly guilty now. Overfishing has imperiled the Atlantic salmon and bluefin populations to such a degree that both those fish are marked with a bright red "avoid." Not to go all local-organic-sustainable-soapbox on you, but I'm hoping Bartoletti substitutes one of the plentiful salmon and tuna varieties being fished sustainably so future generations can enjoy Sfilatino, too.
Gianni's is known for its gnocchi ($18) and rightly so. The tender, pillowy gnocchi were enveloped in an earthy, truffle-scented cream sauce, the flavor probably hailing from truffle oil and mushrooms, rather than actual truffles, which run thousands of dollars per pound. At $18, one can hardly complain. And the garganelli ($18), ridged tube-shaped pasta with Italian sausage and peas in a red bell pepper and tomato sauce, were equally delicious. It was spicy and comforting all at once. We'd have either or both again in a heartbeat.
The rest of the pasta possibilities sounded enticing, too. We were particularly tempted by the house-made spaghetti ($18) with Manila clams, garlic and white wine, and a house-made tagliatelle with a slow-cooked pork ragout ($16), two items we'll try next time — if we can resist the siren call of pork Milanese ($24) and veal scaloppine with Parma ham ($26).
But other dishes were less successful. Slow-braised boneless short ribs ($25) served over soft polenta needed more acid — citrus, vinegar or more wine — to brighten the flavors and make the dish memorable, and scattering chopped herbs across the very brown expanse of meat would add visual interest.
Too much garnish — actually too much many things — was the issue with a tuna special that featured ahi atop polenta and sliced butternut squash. The tuna (please let that have been Hawaiian or Pacific ahi) was nicely cooked, but the overall flavors didn't come together, and the garnish — a lopsided olive-and-oil curlicue drawn on the plate — would have looked outdated even drawn by a steadier hand.
But dessert resurrected any dashed hopes here. The panna cotta ($8) with Amarena cherries was silky, delicately flavored and delicious and the tartufo ($8) made us laugh. The dish itself, two balls of chocolate gelato with a fruity interior, rolled in crushed meringue, made a delicious ending to a sweet meal. But the way the plate was garnished, with spiky bursts of syrup drawn on the plate, made the dish look like a face, with tartufo eyeballs.
Not sure that was the desired effect, but we left with a light step, happy to have spent such a cozy evening at a charming neighborhood restaurant.

The Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA) works through two strategic priority areas critical to addressing open society challenges in the region: 1) participation of citizens and 2) human rights.
A "constitutional moment" is sweeping Eastern Africa. Ongoing constitutional review and implementation processes in Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, and South Sudan offer an opportunity to debate and institutionalize the values that underpin an open society. The engagement of citizens as active participants can build national ownership to advocate for and uphold a system to prevent arbitrary government and guarantee rights.
The constitutional reform processes offer possibilities to strengthen the framework of legislative representation, to establish stronger ground rules for elections and to foster greater political participation, particularly by marginalized groups. Ensuring that all persons count equally is an important part of OSIEA's mandate. OSIEA supports victims and marginalized communities, including persons with disabilities, to organize and demand for equality and justice through law reform, documentation, advocacy, and skill-building.
Denial of access to public information is a serious obstacle for citizens to demand access to rights, resources, and opportunities. OSIEA supports the adoption of freedom of information laws and efforts to compel the release of public information through strategic litigation and budget monitoring efforts at the community level, with a focus on health care policy and natural resource governance.

A.D. Copier 24 cm high 17 wide signed A.D. Copier 800238 oude horn
After his retirement (1971),Copier started working in 1977 at the glass studio of the former leerdam designer WH Heesen who was discovered by Copier in 1943 when he was searching for new pupils to attend the glasschool in Leerdam.
WH Heesen was head of the design department at the Leerdam factory from 1968 till his retirement in 1977 afterwhich he founded in the same year his own glasstudio named the 'De Oude Horn' in a small village Acquoy .
Copier lived near the North Sea where he regularly walked along the beach what inspired him to make the North Sea series.
the colors are greenish,blue,grey and opaque with entrapped air bubles
within very thick glass ( near the bottom about 5 cm thick). At the bottom the white glass that is applied to the outside of the object is mirrored in the inside of the object ( photo 4 ) It has a very small opening 0.5 cm hell to clean
it is hard to get the color right cause just like the sea they change .
When the serie was finished the pieces where laid out on the beach like they just had been washed up by the sea .
I have another one of this serie smaller that i will discribe later

Hercules Wimbledon AC's teenage sprinter Max Mondelli excelled at the British Athletic Indoor Championships at Sheffield on Saturday despite suffering from a heavy head cold.
Mondelli, 18, a pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, was the second youngest of the 35 competitors in the senior men's 60m, but was not overawed by the strength of the opposition.
He came up against British number one James Dasaolu in his first round heat - and while Dasaolu cruised to a comfortable win, Mondelli reached the semi-final round as he posted a lifetime best time of 6.85 seconds in taking fourth spot.
He was 15th of the 24 qualifiers so his prospects of making it through to the final did not look great.
His previous best of 6.85 was set when finishing fifth in the South of England championships at Lee Valley athletics centre last month.
In between his heat and semi-final, Mondelli covered his head in a large towel and inhaled a steamy vapour in a bid to ease the effects of his head cold, as well as doing much needed school homework.
His aim was to try and improve his lifetime best and, putting the towel and his homework to one side, he again finished fourth but his time of 6.88 was slightly slower than his heat time and he missed out on a place in the final by 0.14secs.
His first round effort ranks him in the top 10 amongst Britain's teenagers this year in eighth place.

On the danger of overweening success, Lao Tzu says:
Stretch a bow to the very full,And you will wish you had stopped in time.Temper a sword to its very sharpest,And the edge will not last long.When gold and jade fill your hall,You will not be able to keep them safe.To be proud with wealth and honorIs to sow the seeds of one's own downfall.Retire when your work is done,Such is Heaven's way.
Logic moves to the very extreme - life never. That's how logic misses life. Logic has the tendency to reach to a conclusion - life is never concluding.
Life has no conclusion. It goes on and on and on without any conclusion; it is without any beginning and without any end, it is always in the middle, it is always in the present, it is an on-going process. That's how a logical mind becomes by and by dead; that's how logic becomes its own downfall. Don't conclude. Live without conclusion. That is the only way to live because only then do you live in the middle and the middle is the balance.
Life is a balance between opposites, it never comes to an end. The balance goes on and on, it is eternal. A man of understanding never comes to any conclusions, he cannot. When life itself is non-conclusive how can a wise man be conclusive? If you ask Lao Tzu for any conclusive answer he will laugh. He will say you are foolish. He lives according to life, and the most basic note, if you live according to life, is balance. Never move to one opposite, don't cling to one polarity; then you will lose balance.
I have heard:
Once it happened that a great king had to decide something against his heart. Two of his ministers had committed some crime and he loved the ministers very much. Even if they had committed the crime he wanted to forgive them, his love was such for them. But that was against the law of the country, and it wouldn't have been a good precedent. So they had to be punished. And the law of the country said that for such a crime the only punishment was death. So what to do?
It was too difficult, so he found a way out. He said, "They have to be sentenced to death, but I will give them one more chance to live. Between two hills a tightrope will be stretched. If they can walk over it and survive, then I will forgive them."
It was almost impossible. It was impossible because they had never walked on any tightrope, let alone on one between two hills over a big valley - death everywhere. And to walk on a tightrope is a great art, one has to learn it, it is a great discipline. They had not even dreamed in their lives that they would become tightrope walkers.

Banff action flicks return to Lake Tahoe
April 1, 2012
"And … action!"
For the third year, the Banff Mountain Film Festival will present adventurous, adrenaline-fueled movies in Stateline on Monday at 7 p.m.
Also for the third year, David Schlosser, who is known as "the squirrel," will serve as the Tahoe liaison and will choose eight to nine films for a 2-hour, 20-minute program at the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa.
"I don't like to release the films too early, that would just burst the bubble," Schlosser said.
He said that viewing short clips online can take away all the excitement and secrets behind the story.
Therefore, Schlosser will meet with the host of Banff, Charla Tomlinson, on the day of the show around 3 p.m., to make the final movie selection for the big show.
Recommended Stories For You
One of the movies, the ski flick "All I Can," especially fascinates Schlosser.
"It's pretty cool. There is some urban skiing in it with phenomenal jumps all the way through town on roofs or over cars on intersections." said Schlosser, who believes this movie has been filmed in what he described as "blue-collar town" in British Columbia.
Another film that Schlosser is considering is a paragliding movie of someone jumping off the top of Mount Everest, called "Hanuman Airlines." In the film, two Nepali men climb up the Everest summit to do the first-ever tandem flight over the tallest mountain in the world.
Schlosser said his cultural film selection for this year might turn out to be "On the Trail of Genghis Khan," a documentary about a 10,000-kilometer journey by horse from Mongolia to Hungary.
"Before I set off, I never imagined the true extent of the journey ahead of me. I planned it to take 18 months, but by the time I reached Hungary, I had been in the saddle for three and a half years," filmmaker Tim Cope said on his website.
The animal rescue documentary "C.A.R.C.A.," which stands for the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Cat Association, shows rescues in difficult avalanche conditions throughout the world and is another favorite that Schlosser is considering for the program.
His film selections are usually 40 percent cultural art documentaries and 60 percent sport movies, he said.
Meagan Steward, program coordinator at Banff, said Lake Tahoe is a great area for hosting the film festival.
"Outdoor communities feel like home for us and that is where our films do best as well," she said.
Schlosser describes the MontBleu Theater, which holds a capacity of 1,600 people, as "the only venue in Tahoe with the right size and price."
"Last year we had 450 people attending the film festival, the year before, 250," Schlosser said. According to Schlosser, even visitors from Los Angeles flew into town for last year's event to combine the festival with a short ski trip.
"The nice thing about professional theaters is the phenomenal sound system such as the one at MontBleu," he said.
During the festival, local sponsors will give away prizes including a tandem paragliding ride and a skydiving adventure.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival, which originated in Canada, hosted its 36th annual film festival for nine days during the first week of November 2011. It features adventurous outdoor films with a mission to "inspire creativity" around the world.
This year, 700 locations in 32 countries are hosting the Banff Mountain Film Festival in smaller format. They can choose from a selection of 27 films this year.

Gosnell attorney: Stop this 'prosecutorial lynching'
More than two years after a grand jury report dubbed his West Philadelphia clinic a "house of horrors," counsel for Dr. Kermit Gosnell was finally able to present his side of the story Monday.
In opening arguments in Gosnell's murder trial, defense attorney Jack McMahon called the case "elitist" and "racist," and coming from prosecutors trying to "put Mayo clinic standards into a West Philadelphia clinic."
"This man is being taken because of who he is and where he works," the defense attorney said.
McMahon painted a picture of Gosnell as a family man dedicated to his community, a man who turned down more lucrative positions in Washington, D.C., and New York after medical school to stay in West Philadelphia and serve his community. Women kept being referred to and coming to his clinic because they could get what they needed at the right price, McMahon said.
Despite what's alleged in the grand jury report, the defense argued no babies were born alive and then killed at the Lancaster Avenue clinic, as the prosecution alleges, but were terminated in utero prior delivery. And, the defense argued, the death of 41-year old Bhutanese refugee Karnamaya Mongar was due to pre-existing health complications she did not report and medication she took, on her own, prior to her procedure. McMahon argued over-anesthetization by Gosnell or clinic staff was not what killed her.
Gosnell is charged with seven counts of first-degree murder involving the deaths of infants born alive, and one count of third-degree murder for Mongar.
Jack McMahon, a well-known Philadelphia defense attorney, closed his red-faced and impassioned arguments by urging the jury to end this "prosecutorial lynching of Dr. Kermit Gosnell."
Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore painted a much different picture, of a man who took advantage of "pathetic, exploited" workers and patients alike.
Gosnell, she alleged, trained young and undereducated workers on how to take ultrasounds so babies would appear younger, doctored charts on third-trimester pregnancies, and routinely killed babies that were delivered alive.
"This is not a case about abortion," Pescatore said. "This is about murder."
Pescatore warned the jury of the graphic nature of evidence they would see and hear during the trial, including testimony from former clinic workers who have already pleaded guilty to lesser charges, and a maintenance man whose job it was to clean up biohazardous material after abortions.
"It's coming at you, so get ready," she said.
Gosnell appeared calm, taking notes on a legal pad and frequently consulting with his lawyer during opening arguments.
Standing trial with Gosnell is clinic employee Eileen O'Neill, the only worker out of nine charged who has not pleaded guilty.
Twelve jurors and five alternates were seated for the trial, which is expected to last six to eight weeks.
Gosnell faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in the infant deaths.

Why Your CFO Loves VFDs
Variable-Frequency Drives, the Right Software and Motor-Control Centers Push Energy Savings to the Bottom Line
By Nancy Bartels, Managing Editor
These days, it's both financially necessary and socially responsible to keep an eye out for all available energy savings. At home, that can be as simple as switching off unused electronics and lights in empty rooms. In process applications and plants, it's a little more complicated, but the right collection of hardware and software can bring big numbers to the bottom line and a smile to the CFO's face.
For example, when management at Vattenfall Europe Mining AG, Welzow Sud, Germany, decided to modernize the overburdened conveyor systems in its open-pit coal mine, it chose Rockwell Automation's (www.rockwellautomation.com) Intelligent Motor Control solution—a combination of variable-frequency drives (VFD), intelligent software and networked motor control centers. Rockwell Automation and its system integrator, BEA, installed Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7000 medium-voltage AC drives. These drives allows users to employ standard motors, or to retrofit existing wound-rotor motors at 6.6 kV.
Before modernization, the conveyor used conventional fixed-speed drives and required 9 MW of power. After the upgrade, this conveyor with a 120% overload/overspeed capability moves at least the same amount of material with only 6 MW. Additionally, Vattenfall reduced its capital investment by reusing some existing equipment, such as its 10 MVA transformer.
Control How Energy Is Delivered
The beauty of VFDs and soft starters is that they improve the efficiency of how energy to start and run motors is delivered. You can gain significant energy savings by lowering speed or flow by just 20% using VFDs. If this reduction doesn't impact the process, it can reduce energy use by up to 50%. In many operations, this can equate to substantial energy savings and reduced production costs.
Modernize for Sustainability
Two years ago, Amtex, a Latin American manufacturer of chemical products, modernized the production system at its plant in Colombia. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), an anionic polymer created from cellulose, is Amtex's most important product and is produced at three plants. The vegetable-based stabilizer is used in mining, paper, food, toothpaste, ceramic, detergent, paint and textiles. It dissolves easily in hot and cold water, acts as a thickener, a suspension agent and as a dispersion stabilizer. It also functions as a binder, and it can regulate flow properties.
Amtex produces 24000 tons of CMC annually. The Medellin, Colombia, plant has an 8200-ton CMC production capacity. But, the production system suffered inefficiencies because of increased energy consumption, leaks, oil spills in the hydraulic couplers and production downtime.
The comprehensive solution was to purchase two Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 700 drives for the mill, as well as for the number one reactor.
"We used to load both reactors (25000 liters capacity) with 2300 Kg of raw material (cellulose), and now we are loading them with 2550 Kg, showing an increment of production up to 6% (500 ton/year)," explains Alvaro Arango, Amtex's plant manager.
"This reflects interesting earnings, using the same resources in terms of energy consumption and labor. We reduced speed of reactors from 60 Hz to 43 Hz in most stages of the process—around a 15% energy savings."
Installing frequency inverters allowed Amtex to stop using hydraulic couplings for power transmission. This saves about U.S. $1000 per month related to oil and thermal fuses, Arango says. Safety also was improved because the hot oil is no longer expulsed from the hydraulic coupling.
Other gains from the installation include a reduction in electricity usage and in mechanical wear, thanks to the drive's self-starting capabilities. The use of a VFD also cut the maintenance caused by the hydraulic coupler and the periodic shutdown of the motor, which significantly increases production. Finally, speed variation helps to minimize process time.
Gain Complete System Control
"Energy" isn't just about electricity or fuel. There's also the energy that goes into design, production and delivery of products and/or systems. Saving energy in any one of those areas also shows up on the bottom line at some point. Brampton Engineering (BE), an OEM in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, is a good example.
When you go to the deli counter and buy a package of lunch meat in a see-through film package, chances are good that the film may have been developed and manufactured by BE. The films extend the shelf life of products and make them more appealing to consumers.
Flexible equipment designs are essential for BE to meet customer demands for specialized, one-of-a-kind lines that produce high-quality blown film as quickly as possible. The company needed simplified programming and integration, faster design time and improved troubleshooting capabilities to meet these demands
"The plastic resins processed by our equipment are mostly made from nonrenewable resources. They require energy to manufacture, transport and then process in our equipment to make the barrier films that will protect and increase the shelf life of food and medical products," explains Adolfo Edgar, BE's marketing manager. "As our lines operate more efficiently, our customers are able to manufacture packaging that wastes less raw material, saves on transportation, and requires less energy to manufacture."
As a result, BE chose Rockwell Automation's Integrated Architecture package, including an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controller (PAC) that provides integrated, scalable solutions for the full range of automation disciplines using one control platform, development environment and an open communication protocol.
The PAC governs the entire system, from the extruders that melt plastic pellets into a multilayer molten sheet, to the winders that collect the cooled film. Programmed with the latest version of Rockwell Software's RSLogix5000 software, the PAC provides fully integrated access to each individual machine component, including the controllers, HMIs, vector control drives and I/O modules.

Outreach Tips
There are a variety of Outreach Tips that will aid in the successful execution of the Demo Show. The complete list is found by clicking on the above link. For a Demo Show, here are some specific issues to think about:Safety
- Safety equipment: Fire extinguisher, goggles, gloves, safety shield
- Have safety equipment visible so that audience is at ease.
- A Physics Demo Show provides newspapers and TV great photo opportunities. So consider issuing a press release or working with the University's PR department to do so. Ensure that it is clear on the release that there will be great photo opportunities (this is an incentive for the media to cover your event). This release is also used to promote the event in advance (which is especially necessary if this is a public event).
- Attendance to a good demo show is proportional to advertising.
Be sure to know the advertising and flyer policies of the organizations and sponsors involved. Flyers usually require approval.
- Create a website: Describe your mission, pictures, calendar, contact info

Muskingum College students broaden their horizons as part of
2004 Summer Fellows Program
SEPTEMBER 3, 2004 - After a long school year of classes, studying, tests and more classes, most college students look forward to a summer break. For one group of Muskingum College students, though, the 2004 Summer Fellows Program took them a long way from flipping burgers or sunning on the beach.
The Summer Fellows program at Muskingum, now in its fifth year, allows students and faculty to immerse themselves in the pursuit of highly specific and challenging areas that they are studying as students. To be considered for a fellowship, students must write a detailed proposal of what they intend to study and what they hope that study will achieve. This is done in tandem with the faculty members with whom they intend to work, and who must provide the formal nomination for the fellowship.
Proposals are then considered by the office of the vice president of academic affairs for approval.
Brieanne Sheehan '07and Michelle Dempsey '06, worked together on the creation of a geographical interactive system database of downtown Cambridge to be used for a wide range of urban planning and economic development issues. They worked with Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Walter Huber and Assistant Professor of Geology Stephen Van Horn.
Allison Avolio '06 researched displaced persons in postwar Europe and developed a bibliography of displaced persons on the website of the U.S. Holocaust Museum. She worked with Assistant Professor of History Dr. Laura Hilton.
Deirdre Cummings '05 worked with Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Brian Bergstrom to research the acute effects of aspartame on extracellular dopamine dynamics and assessing the role of altered dopamine synthesis in rats.
Also working with Dr. Bergstrom was Tricia Skaggs '05 who researched the dependence of extracellular dopamine levels on increased synthesis rates in the 6-OHDA lesioned striatum.
Phil Denen '05 collaborated with Professor of Chemistry Dr. Ray Rataiczak to determine the stoichimetry of ten charge-transfer complexes.
Melaine Hilton '07 worked with Associate Professor of Economics Dr. Joe Nowakowski to prepare a paper for the upcoming Poverty in the Heartland conference that Muskingum is co-hosting later this month.
Also working with Dr. Nowakowski was Lewis Maraire '07 who examined performance statistics of football teams in the Big Ten Conference during a ten-year period.

Lake Nocona Sends Its First ShareLunker to Athens
Race to 500 heats up as big bass pour into the Lunker Bunker
ATHENS — Add Lake Nocona to the growing list of lakes that have produced their first-ever Toyota ShareLunker during the current season.
Don Wilborn of Sherman caught Toyota ShareLunker 493, a 13.34-pound largemouth bass, from Lake Nocona March 29. Wilborn was fishing in eight feet of water. Lure type was not reported.
The fish was transported to The Tackle Box in Pottsboro, where it was held in a large aquarium until picked up by ShareLunker program manager David Campbell.
"I really believe it is possible to catch a ShareLunker almost anywhere you fish in Texas," Campbell said. "Lake Nocona is now the thirteenth lake to produce a ShareLunker during the current season and the fourth lake to produce its first ShareLunker this season."
Other lakes producing their first 13-pound-plus bass this season are Livingston, Lyndon B. Johnson and Lake O' the Pines. The ShareLunkers from all three of those lakes were also new lake records; Lake O' the Pines set two new records in less than a week. New lake records were also set for lakes Casa Blanca and Caddo.
ShareLunker 493 is not a new lake record for Lake Nocona. A 13.4-pound fish caught in 1997 still holds the top spot. That fish was not entered into the ShareLunker program.
"We stocked Florida largemouth bass into Lake Nocona in 1981 and 1982," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries biologist Bruce Hysmith. "We collected 30 bass in 2007 and found that two of them were still pure Florida largemouth bass. The pure Florida genetics are still in the lake."
The significance of pure Florida genetics is that those fish tend to grow faster and bigger than native northern largemouth bass. Texas began stocking Florida largemouth bass in the 1970s.
Only pure Florida largemouth bass are used in the selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. ShareLunkers from the current season are spawned and the offspring stocked into lakes that entered fish into the ShareLunker program during the season. Most anglers elect to have their ShareLunker returned to the lake after the end of the spawning season.
ShareLunker 493 is the twenty-second fish to be entered into the Toyota ShareLunker program during the current season. Only seven fish remain to be caught to reach the 500 mark. The angler who catches that fish will receive $500 per pound and a rod and reel package from G. Loomis and Shimano. All ShareLunker anglers receive a fiberglass replica of their catch and ShareLunker clothing. If a Texas resident catches the largest entry of the season, he or she receives a lifetime fishing license. The current leader is Keith Burns of Jefferson with a 16.17-pound fish from Caddo Lake. All prizes are furnished by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code.
Fish must be turned over to authorized TPWD personnel within 12 hours after being caught. Entries are not official until accepted by TPWD. Entry numbers are assigned in the order phone calls reporting catches are received by David Campbell.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers, is posted on www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

By using our own regulated network we can also ensure that costs are controlled, allowing us to keep fees to a minimum without compromising customer service.
We do not have a set limit for any repair. However, each plan does have an authority limit of £125 for kitchen appliances and most electrical equipment, and £70 for vacuum cleaners. If any one repair is estimated to cost more than the limit, the repairer must call our Claims Department to obtain further authorisation before going ahead with the work.
It depends upon the complexity of the repair but most repairs are completed on the first visit. Occasionally repairs can be held up by the lack of spare parts or perhaps the difficulty in spotting an intermittent fault. If you do encounter any problems with your repair, or in dealing with our repairer, please contact us and let us know. Our Customer Care team will work with you to address any problems you have experienced and ensure your satisfaction.
Repairers of home entertainment equipment have to either return the product, if it has been taken away for tests, or make contact to update our customers of the situation within 5 working days.
Generally we would expect that the repair agent from our own independent network would call out within two working days. Where we use manufacturers' repair networks, you may find slightly different, but nonetheless efficient, service standards operating.
If your appliance is still within the manufacturer's guarantee period then you can extend the guarantee for a total of 5 years, including the manufacturer's guarantee. When any plan expires, you can normally continue to renew it on an annual basis for the rest of the useful life of the appliance.
Domestic & General usually take care of any costs directly with the repairer, so you won't even see a bill.

NICE -- John Hathaway plans on bringing in the old to bring in the new.
Hathaway's store, The Woodpecker, has hundreds of bird houses for sale and is visible from Highway 20 driving through Nice, with a large sign that reads "Got Bats?"
It was one of the locations for the Francis Ford Coppola movie "Twixt" in the fall of 2010, but "I've had the look for so long it's become a museum rather than a store," Hathaway said.
Birds frequent his feeders regularly, but customers have been few and far between lately, so he plans on changing the storefront to bring in new flocks of costumers.
"Sometimes you have to multitask to put bread on the table," he said.
The winter months tend to be slower at the outdoor store, but business has been uncharacteristically sluggish for Hathaway this last year and he made less than half of his usual profit, so he decided to start selling antiques as well.
With roughly 300 birdhouses, some of which he made himself, Hathaway said he did not plan on getting rid of them all together.
The cost of a birdhouse ranges from $10 to $400, with the average at about $20.
Hathaway wants to redecorate and is looking for vintage bikes to adorn the front, including a woman's bicycle with a front basket to fill with fresh flowers.
The Woodpecker opened in 2004, and for the first several years did well; however, business has slowly declined through the years for Hathaway.
Hathaway shops at estate and garage sales to find collectibles he can resell.
"Lake County is really good for finding treasures," Hathaway said. "You really don't have to go out to find inventory."
Hathaway has already begun selling antiques, such as collectable paper items, old sporting goods and catalogues on eBay under the seller name countryjunk4u.
He is in the process of stocking up with vintage furniture, radio and other items to display and sell at his store.
Berenice?Quirino?is a staff reporter for Lake County Publishing. She can be reached at 263-5636, ext. 36 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DEERFIELD, IL--(Marketwire - March 07, 2013) - Horizon Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: HZNP) today announced that the United Kingdom (UK) Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted marketing authorization for DUEXIS® (ibuprofen/famotidine) for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis in patients who require regular treatment with high dose ibuprofen administered three times a day and who are at risk of developing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) associated gastric and/or duodenal ulcers. Horizon is seeking to license rights to DUEXIS in Europe to one or more commercial partners.
"We are pleased that the UK health authority has granted marketing authorization, which we believe further validates DUEXIS as an important treatment option for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis," said Todd N. Smith, executive vice president, chief commercial officer, Horizon Pharma. "We are seeking a potential commercial partner or partners for DUEXIS in the UK and the rest of Europe. However, given the current state of the arthritis market in Europe and the revenue being generated there by existing branded NSAIDs, we expect the U.S. market, where DUEXIS continues to gain traction, to continue to represent the most significant opportunity for Horizon."
About DUEXIS
DUEXIS, a proprietary single-tablet combination of the NSAID ibuprofen and the histamine H2-receptor antagonist famotidine, is indicated in the U.S. for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and to decrease the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers, which in the clinical trials was defined as a gastric and/or duodenal ulcer, in patients who are taking ibuprofen for those indications. The clinical trials primarily enrolled patients less than 65 years of age without a prior history of gastrointestinal ulcer. Controlled trials do not extend beyond 6 months. For more information, please visit www.DUEXIS.com.
Important safety information
Risk of Serious Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Events
See full Prescribing Information for complete boxed warning (according to the U.S. FDA approval)
Ibuprofen, a component of DUEXIS, may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. Risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.
DUEXIS is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, a component of DUEXIS, increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions, including bleeding, ulceration and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. Reactions can occur at any time without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk.
DUEXIS should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria or allergic reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylaxis with NSAIDs has been reported in such patients. DUEXIS is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. DUEXIS is contraindicated in patients in late stages of pregnancy as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus may occur. DUEXIS should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to other H2-receptor antagonists. Cross sensitivity with other H2-receptor antagonists has been observed.
When active and clinically significant bleeding from any source occurs in patients receiving DUEXIS, the treatment should be withdrawn.
NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, which is a component of DUEXIS tablets, can lead to onset of new hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension, either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of cardiovascular events. Monitor blood pressure closely during treatment with DUEXIS.
Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. DUEXIS should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure.
Long-term administration of NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, which is a component of DUEXIS tablets, has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury. Use DUEXIS with caution in patients at risk (e.g., the elderly; those with renal impairment, heart failure or liver impairment and those taking diuretics or ACE inhibitors).
Hepatic injury ranging from transaminase elevations to liver failure can occur. If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if systemic manifestations occur, DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately.
Anaphylaxis may occur in patients with the aspirin triad or in patients without prior exposure to DUEXIS. If an anaphylactoid reaction occurs, DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately.
Serious skin reactions, including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, which can be fatal, can occur. Discontinue DUEXIS if rash or other signs of local skin reaction occur.
Nursing mothers should use DUEXIS with caution, as it is not known if ibuprofen is excreted in human milk and famotidine is excreted in human milk.
The most common adverse reactions (≥1% and greater than ibuprofen alone) were nausea, diarrhea, constipation, upper abdominal pain and headache.
For further information on DUEXIS, please see full Prescribing Information at www.DUEXIS.com.
About Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. It is the most common form of arthritis and the most common cause of chronic pain, affecting an estimated 27 million individuals in the U.S. Worldwide, an estimated 9.6% of men and 18% of women 60 years of age and older have symptomatic OA.
OA is caused by various factors, including older age, being overweight, joint injury or stress, heredity and muscle weakness. OA commonly affects the hands, spine or large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees.
About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness and swelling, primarily in the joints. RA affects approximately 1.8 million people in the U.S. and is not associated with factors such as aging. Worldwide, RA has an estimated prevalence of 0.3 to 1% of the total adult population.
RA occurs when the body's immune system malfunctions, attacking healthy tissue and causing inflammation, which leads to pain and swelling in the joints and may eventually cause permanent joint damage and painful disability. The primary symptoms of RA include progressive immobility and pain, especially in the morning, with long-term sufferers experiencing continual joint destruction for the remainder of their lives.
About Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive, connective tissue disorder that is characterized by inflammation of the joints of the spine (vertebral joints), hipbones, and sacrum (sacroiliac joints). Symptoms of AS are similar to those of RA, including pain, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints. The disorder differs from RA in that spondylitis primarily affects the spine, forming bony outgrowths (syndesmophytes) between the vertebrae, which may fuse vertebrae and lead to total spinal immobility (ankylosis). The worldwide annual incidence of AS is estimated to be up to 7.3 per 100,000 individuals. DUEXIS is not approved for the treatment of AS in the United States.
About Horizon Pharma
Horizon Pharma, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company that has developed and is commercializing DUEXIS and RAYOS/LODOTRA, both of which target unmet therapeutic needs in arthritis, pain and inflammatory diseases. The Company's strategy is to develop, acquire, in-license and/or co-promote additional innovative medicines where it can execute a targeted commercial approach in specific therapeutic areas while taking advantage of its commercial strengths and the infrastructure the Company has put in place. For more information, please visit www.horizonpharma.com.

These forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and actual results may differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, risks regarding Horizon's ability to commercialize products successfully or to find partners to help it commercialize its products in Europe.

Ana Maria Rey, a theoretical physicist at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has been honored by the White House with a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.
"The impressive achievements of these early-stage scientists and engineers are promising indicators of even greater successes ahead," President Obama said in a statement. "We are grateful for their commitment to generating the scientific and technical advancements that will ensure America's global leadership for many years to come."
Rey, who was among 102 recipients of the award, was chosen "for her pioneering research on developing fundamental understanding and control of novel quantum systems and finding applications for a wide range of scientific fields," according to the White House.
In 2013, Rey also was named a winner of the MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the "genius grant," for her research at JILA, where she works with ultracold atoms and molecules that are trapped in an "optical lattice," a series of shallow wells constructed of laser light.
PECASE recipients are employed or funded by the following departments and agencies: Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of the Interior, Department of Veteran Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation.
The departments and agencies join together annually to nominate the most meritorious scientists and engineers whose early accomplishments show the greatest promise for assuring America's pre-eminence in science and engineering and contributing to the awarding agencies' missions.
The awards, established by President Clinton in 1996, are coordinated by the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President. Awardees are selected for their pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology and their commitment to community service as demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education or community outreach.
Ana Maria Rey, 303-492-7801

I've finally found time to document my 2013 expedition: A Smart car trip from San Diego, California to the Arctic Circle (and back).
The details and lots of photos are found on this link:
It was a great adventure which clearly showed that a Smart can handle a wide variety of conditions. I didn't encounter any snow (it was an August trip), but snow did start falling on my northern-most point just a few hours after we started heading south. Mud, rough roads, steep grades, and highway construction were the primary challenges. Great scenery and the fun of driving a Smart were among the rewards.
A lot of preparation went into the trip. Smart Madness had some good winter tires to handle the often-rough highways found in the north. I also carried a substantial spare tire, something I've never done before. Fortunately, it was not needed. The only mishap was a cracked windshield. A rock off the highway caused that as I drove north of Seattle on the Interstate.
This northern expedition pushed the number of states in which I've driven this Smart to 45. The four missing mainland states are on the East Coast. I'm leaving on a cross-country trip in a few weeks and will add those to my completed list. But that is a different story. Stay tuned.
Views: 178
Also, may I repost it to the several other smart car forums to which I belong? I am so tired of even hearing "a nice town car" from owners of smarts.
Tks much, Jim
Would you be open to allowing us to re-post this (with proper credit) to our smart USA social channels? It is such a great example of what a smart can do!
Wow what an adventure you had! The pictures you captured and the story you weave to go along with them is truly engaging. Thanks so much for letting us take the ride with you.
Fascinating! Your marvelous story and photos are saved so we can show the next ignorant person who suggests that the smart car is a "town car."
Jim and Ann, College Station, Texas

CHICO -- "I was proud of the four years I spent on the council," said Chico City Council candidate Kimberly Rudisill. "I'm ready to go at it again."
Rudisill — then Kimberly King — served on the council from 1994-1998. She was also on the Park Commission from 1992-1994 and 1998-2000.
Priorities include fire and police protection, especially with recent reports of violence. Jobs and the budget are also high priorities.
For the budget, more positions may need to be eliminated on city staff, and those funds shifted to general services, police, fire and roads, she said.
The city's development department is overstaffed, she said, and if there are larger projects, these jobs might be contracted out.
She is not, however, in favor of contracting out tree trimming and street sweeping.
When asked about attracting businesses, she said she is not in favor of tax incentives, but the business process should be streamlined.
Also, she thinks downtown would benefit by having a "major magnet retailer," something like the Gap clothing store.
She said having more community activities improves the strength of downtown, and lauded the Downtown Chico Business Association for events such as Halloween children's treat walks, Christmas Preview and farmers markets.
She said she supports the preservation of the Green Line, and is in favor of keeping the foothill area free of development to protect groundwater recharge.
Rudisill said the City Council has "done a very good job these last few years," and "I want to be a part of the solution."
She said she has a good perspective of what families need through her community involvement over 33 years and raising her children in Chico.
"I believe I'm open-minded and my pledge ... is to be a voice for all of Chico."

I was officially diagnosed with lupus in of the beginning of 2004 but i have all kinds of medical problems other than that. My rheumatologist says that i'm "special" because of all of my illnesses. He is the reason why i'm here. I have been sick for years but none of my crappy doctors could figure out what was wrong with me. My family and friends all think that because i don't look sick then i must be lazy. It's been really hard for me to deal with everything alone. My rheumy told me that if i couldn't a way to deal with the stress then he would have no choice but to hospitalize me, so here i am.
