|Ozone and PM2.5 data in Beijing?
|Monday, 11 August 2008, Written by Julien
I blogged yesterday about how international pressure helps Beijing improving its air. Today I found this announcement : Beijing might start to monitor ozone and very fine particle matters (PM2.5) starting from next year.
Ozone is harmful for our health but there is no data available now. Having a daily monitoring of ozone would help people avoiding pollution peaks. It would also encourage Beijing municipality to take measures against ozone pollution.
Having PM2.5 data would also be interesting as particle matters are the main pollutants in Beijing. PM2.5 concentration is important as those fine particles are the most harmful for human health. Knowing both PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations would give us a more precise overview of the situation.
Let's hope Beijing officials will not forget this promise after August 24th!

Doesn't it sound strange to anybody to read only supporting posts in this blog? Mine was harmful to the mask business I guess. Indeed ozone nor very fine particles are removed by such masks. Have a look to the specs (especially the particle size below which particles are not trapped). At the end of the day, such masks remain useful to warm up your nose in the wintertime. But not a lot more, really.

Hi Fireworks, I guess you should check twice before writing. First, your comment was never erased and it is still here (see below) .
At that time, I answered your email and gave you the reference of one of the scientific articles we use. I also invited you to give us the information we would not have.
Moreover, I would appreciate if you could write in a polite manner, giving scientific information to explain the facts you bring forward.
Link to your earlier post
fireworks wrote : deeper
Hope you like debating coz your answer is not satisfactory yet: the paper you mention to answer my comment about ozone does not provide any ozone DATA, just model simulations. Here's a nice website with absolute data of PM10, NO2, SO2, CO and... ozone for BJ and other Chinese cities: www.amfic.eu Have a look and tell if the ozone 8h-average data are REALLY so bad compared to the EU standard of 120ug/m3? Doesn't look it's the case. Regarding the particle size toxicity, several articles showed that PM0.1 are the most dangerous for health (see articles from C. Sioutas, or from F. Marano). How fine are the particles trapped in your masks?
Julien wrote : re
Hi fireworks,
First, thanks for this website! It is a nice resource.
Regarding ozone, I checked the 8h average data for July 2008 on this website (we agree that ozone comparison only make sense during hot months, right), 15 days out of 31 where clearly above the 120µg/m3 threshold with at least 7 days higher than 200µg/m3. I is really bad compared with Paris (in 2007, only 3 times the peak value exceeded 180 (while below 210)!
For particles, I sure agree that the smallest particles are the most harmful, but it is still better for your health to reduce the amount of particles entering your lungs (ie smaller than 10 micrometer). Respro filters (except City) are meet the performance requirement of European FFP1 standard. Which means that they filter at least 80% of the particles with a mean diameter of 0.6 micrometer.
A few particles still come in, but the levels obtained are much less harmful for the health!
ME wrote : Masks
OK its just not normal to wear masks in life and if the air quality is that bad then leave. The point is, how much is that life style or money worth when you talk about your own health. You won't wear a mask inside but if you leave the windows open particles will still come in. I have decided to leave China and not return. I find this country is in a mad race to make money and destroy itself in the process. At least as foreigners we have the option to leave. Health is not worth risking, at all.
fireworks wrote : too small to be filtered
Hi Julian,
first, since no ozone DATA are actually provided by www.amfic.com (only modeling outputs) let's be rigourous and wait for next summer to get daily reports with real measurements. alternatively, we could look for published results from the scientific campaigns run by Chinese institutes last summer.
second, you just cannot say "A few particles still come in, but the levels obtained are much less harmful for the health!", for two reasons:
1. there are an awful lot of fine and ultrafine particles below 0.6 micrometer that therefore enter our respiratory tract even if we wear a mask (see a typical number size distribution here: http://www.particleandfibretoxicology.com/content/figures/1743-8977-5-3-1-l.jpg). Draw a line at 0.6um, and integrate both sides. you'll realize that Respro masks just filter few % (the least toxic) of the total number of particles in the atmosphere;
2. these smallest particles stay longer in our resp. tract and have been shown responsible for in...
fireworks wrote : to be continued
2. these smallest particles stay longer in our resp. tract and have been shown responsible for inflammatory effects but also mitogene effects (cancers) in the long term. Here, it's important to understand that it's not the MASS concentration of fine and ultrafine particles which matters, but their NUMBER concentration.
To finish off, I recommand to all of those who are concerned with their health to have a read thru this article from DR. WILL CHICKERING living in BJ for years, with children: www.greendragonfilm.com/documents/GDarticleinUrbane.pdf. he gives several interesting tips, and sometimes briefly states informative points like "Some masks can block larger particles, thus reducing respiratory irritation. But do not expect a mask to protect you from traffic emissions."
The majority of particles are just too small to be filtered. Your business runs on a biased information.

while I agree that fireworks is right, even a less than perfect mask is better than nothing, so why not go for a cheapest solution like the masks from totobobo.com ?
Julien wrote : re
Paul, it's good to compare the solutions. First, totobobo are not so cheap now that their promotion phase is ending! Secondly, I would say Respro Techno masks are more efficient, as they also filter chemical pollutants with the active charcoal part They are also more comfortable, especially because of the velcro and the exhaust valves.
You should see both to better understand the differences!

Interesting debate & very relevant to those of us living here. Recently I've been researching heavily into air purification in Beijing. Recently I was able to make an informed decision on a good quality air purifier and am now looking into masks. I'd like to hear your response on the following:
Yes, we know RESPRO & other non-industrial type of particulate filters don't get the smallest traces that are most dangerous. So is a bit of filtration better than none? I'm not sure; I've heard that the wearer will inhale harder and deeper with the mask, thus sucking in more of the small particulates into the deep recesses of the lungs. It's kind of like not 100% UV protecting sunglasses. Julien, am I right on that one or could you provide me with a valid link regarding said question? I'd appreciate it.

Hi TK. What was your conclusion when it came to air purifiers? Did you opt for a HEPA one, or did you find a better solution? I'd be really interested to hear your ideas.

Hi WXC,
I did go for a HEPA, but not one of the local Yadus which are barely effective. After debating between an IQAir and Alen A375UV, I ended up with the Alen. Big difference between these and the cheaper versions is that they are properly sealed (will actually filter air), hit numbers in the high 99 percentile, and both include other filters which kill spores plus bacteria.
I have been running it for 2 months now and am really happy. My lungs are much clearer & I barely cough unless I am out all day long. I also added a vapor style humidifier and that helped soothe my chest. Really really reccomend these 2 machines if you are planning on staying in Beijing for anything longer than a year.
Julien, thanks for your input on the masks. Am going to look into it more. I'm picking up a sportbike in a couple of months and am weighing my options for under the helmet. I was pushing towards some industrial type filters but I don't think they would fit in my helmet. RESPRO may be my b...

Regardless of what machine we buy, i am sure it will work. I ended up going with the Blueair because of the price and many reviews. Yes, all i hear is this IQAir, but i don't want spend my whole life savings keeping up with filter changes. Another thing, i need one of those mask :)
Louie wrote : Choosing an air filter
Great to come across this informational website! I run an indoor environmental quality services company and we spend a lot of time testing air (and water) for residents and companies in Shanghai.
One of the most frequent questions we get is around what type of air filter to buy. I eventually ended up writing an article on the subject: http://www.purelivingchina.com/2010/12/how-to-choose-an-air-filter-purifier-in-china/
As someone mentioned here, HEPA filters in theory all filter 99.97 of particulates up to 0.3 microns in diameter. The width of a human hair is about 150x in comparison. What separates the good filters from the 1000rmb Yadu specials is the ability to circulate the air to provide clean air for the entire rated space. Then there are other technologies such as UV to kill microbes and bacteria, PCO to oxidize gases, carbon to eliminate odors, etc.
We also get a lot of questions about what masks to use when you're outdoors, so we will be doing a comparison of the mo...

I wonder why all these other states with their "training" requirements don't notice, there is no blood running in the streets of WA. Oh yes, we have totally unlicensed OC too.
Ditto Pennsylvania. No training requirement for a License to Carry Firearm (LTCF). Unlicensed open carry legal everywhere in the state except within Philadelphia city limits. PA is right next door to NY and NJ, two states with some of the most restrictive firearms laws anywhere in the country, and the statistics for both accidental shootings attributed to CCW holders and crime attributed to CCW holders and open carriers combined are not significantly different from NY or NJ.

I had never heard of Albert, Josie or Cameron before the show started. I would imagine that many over 35s are in the same boat. Since the demographic for the show skews older, younger contestants need a "hook" from the start.

I guess this should prove that DWTS should not go for model eye candy hoping that it will last...go for the eye candy with the fan base and they'll stick around a long time! How about George Clooney, Halie Berry or even someone like the actress that plays Izzie on Grey's Anatomy?
While Clooney, Heigl, etal would be great audience magnets, they would never ( tho hate to use that word ) do it. They are too big, too busy to commit to DWTS. Most of these "stars" are at some break in their careers, Or are just starting their careers.
I think the producers never know who will breakout and grab the viewers. Jerry Rice and Emmitt did, but Clyde didn't. I think anyone who has even an ounce of athletic ability paired with Julianne would be successful, she has the best choreography and she is so pretty and talented, she is the "eye-candy".
I think the producers hoped Cam would be successful, but he is extremely limited in is abilities to dance. His fan base will save him for a few weeks, but when it gets down to serious dancing it will be his time to go.
It will be interesting to see if Helio can step it up like Apolo did last season.
Right now I think he is neck and neck with Sabrina, but at the end of the season Sabrina has the advantage because she is so skilled in dance. Conversely, nobody knows her partner (Mark) yet, so he won't have the fan base that Julianne has.
Tahoe bound....
Well, DWTS hardly targets "A-list" celebrities as they would be much to busy for and way above something like a "reality show". But, I think the "celebrities" they do get can develop a fanbase if they are good. Sure Helio is well known in the "racing" world, but I doubt the audience of Indy Car racing overlaps much with DWTS.Originally Posted by NFL1;2596829;
Regarding the voting, it will always be viewed as a "popularity" contest because the mass public have different views of "good" and entertainment. This goes for SYTYCD, AI, DWTS and any other "fan-voted" shows. On AI and SYTYCD, I always vote for who I percieved to be the most talented and most entertaining. But, my perception of talent and entertainment will differ from millions of others.
On a "celebrity" based show, I vote on who is most entertaining to me. Good dancing is definitely part of that equation, but not the only part.
Queen Latifah was absolutely amazing. I love her more and more everyday.
I love Wayne but he has to go. I was kinda shocked that Albert went but oh well. He can just fade back into nowhere land again.
I agree the "in" actors may be too busy...but maybe those who were in the limelight and are now more in movies or other avenues might do it? Julianna Margolies? what do you think about someone like Cher? She could be really fun, really campy and bring in a great other group of fans.
I've long been a fan of Queen Latifah and agree that she is a wonderful role model for today's young women. She sounded wonderful last night!
Both Albert and Cameron are very forgettable to me. Though I really wanted Wayne to go last night, Albert was no big surprise. Nice eyes, weird hair and completely forgettable. I do feel kind of sorry for Anna though - I really like her.
Ha Ha Ha... Cher. She'd fit right in with the outlandish coustumes !
One of the characters from a sitcom that has been off the air for sometime. Like Seinfeld or Will and Grace, even Friends or Frazier. Those are the kind of celebrities that people remember. Some have gone on to other series or films, but some sorta disappeared. DWTS might give their careers a boost.
Tahoe bound....
Those people from Friends are set financially for life, their careers don't need a boost. The Frasier and Will & Grace people are still A-listers in their current chosen fields and haven't been off the air long enough to need career boosts. Seinfeld, Julia, Jason... all very busy people still on the A-list. The only one of all those shows who could probably use a job is Michael Richards and somehow I can't see DWtS wanting him on the show.Originally Posted by skyhigh79;2598298;

Steve Lekson, curator of anthropology at the CU Museum, believes a powerful political system centered at Chaco Canyon in northern New Mexico may have kept other Pueblo peoples under its thumb from about 1000 to 1125. As the capital city of a huge region, Chaco became a place to store and exchange commodities, and the elite rulers probably exacted goods and taxes from outlying Chacoan villagers.
Chaco was the first stable settlement in the Southwest, sporting a dozen huge, multistoried sandstone buildings known as "great houses" that surrounded a plaza. It appears that a hundred or so elite people lived in each great house, with another 1,000 or so people living in single-family kivas outside the city center.
Lekson refers to Chaco as "the 800-pound gorilla of Anasazi archaeology" and possibly the major player in Pueblo prehistory. "It was an elite community living in a showy, ceremonial city that ruled a region containing tens of thousands of people."
Roughly 150 Chaco "outliers" up to hundreds of miles distant -- including Colorado's famed Mesa Verde -- show Chaco's influence, including the construction of multi-storied great houses. One, a site adjacent to the town of Bluff, Utah, that has been studied by Lekson, CU-Boulder anthropology Associate Professor Catherine Cameron and CU students, is one of the farthest northeast "outliers" to Chaco.
"Things started to happen in Chaco in the 9th century," said Lekson. "At that time, small settlements outside the canyon were fighting with each other. With the rise of Chaco, that raiding and feuding ended."
A paper on the subject by Lekson and Cameron was presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Denver Feb. 13 to Feb. 18.
Lekson believes the collapse of Chaco may have begun with a spiritual tug-of-war between the Chaco elite and their followers and a second group lured south by new religious and spiritual beliefs springing up without an oppressive government. Chaco Canyon was always arid, and a drought likely sent the elite and their followers north to Aztec, located on the Animas River.
"I think there may have been some serious policing with 'goon squads' in the Chacoan region about the time the Chaco Empire was collapsing, and some serious slicing and dicing began as local warfare broke out," said Lekson.
"Toward the end, there may have been policing in the Chacoan region in an attempt to maintain order. But when Chaco was collapsing, some serious violence and warfare broke out," he said. "Chaco could no longer control its region."
The Chaco elite ordered the building of a wide path known today as the Great North Road due north about 60 miles to the Aztec Pueblo, a minor blip on the region's radar screen in the Southwest at the time but one that turned into a second major capital beginning about 1110 and lasting until 1275, he said.
A great drought about that time likely caused the center at Aztec to pull up stakes, reverse cosmological direction and make a beeline directly south. While thousands of Aztec people joined western and eastern pueblos, thousands more led by the ruling elite marched nearly 450 miles straight south to build an even bigger city at Paquime in present day Chihuahua, Mexico, that lasted until about 1450.
Lekson calculated Aztec, Chaco and Paquime are off a north-south meridian by only about three miles, explainable by the terrain and technology, which likely included "line-of-sight" travel and stellar navigation, he said. Similar architectural features at all three cities that are found nowhere else bolster Lekson's novel theory, which he calls the "Chaco Meridian."
Continuing research by Professor Cameron and CU students at the Bluff great house in Utah indicates the great house was occupied after the crash of the Chacoan empire and the berms surrounding it were built during the Aztec heydays. "It was an eye-opener because it indicates the berms were built long after Chaco collapsed," Cameron said.
The Bluff people may have "experienced a religious revival," perhaps tied to the growing influence of the Aztec culture centered near present-day Aztec, N.M." she said.

500 S&W questions
I am thinking about getting a 500 Smith and Wesson in either a pump or lever action
I have seen 700 grain flat nose bullets and 630 grain hollow point bullets I would like to fire these but I don't know if they would be to long to cycle in the pump or lever action, any thoughts on this
also here is a link to a video about them http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=...ture=endscreen

I think if I had the money to throw at it, I would rather own a .500 S&W lever gun over a pump action any day out of personal preference.
The Big Horn Armory Model 89, if I was going to pay the money for the rifle I would pay for the #1 walnut stock and having it blued.
I have no idea on how well those rounds would cycle. In just about any 300 grain or heavier bullet at standard .500 S&W velocities is going to do the job on whatever you shoot it at.
Expect to pay upwards of a couple thousand or more for this firearm. Expect for there to be a wait to get your firearm.

So, the biggest obstacle to my enjoyment of homemade iced tea was the fact that due to my living situation, my fridge smelled like kimchee. (I can't really blame my roommates for it, when 4 people share 1 refrigerator, some stuff is bound to get forgotten) BUT! Now I have a refrigerator ALL to myself (yay!) and am free to begin enjoying delicious black currant white tea iced tea. Which I have done.
I cold brewed this, letting it sit overnight. And I kind of fudged the amount because I was lazy and also my mum was yelling for me to hurry up because she was hungry. The result was still quite delicious, although it definitely could have used more leaves. The currant taste was quite faint but still presentso it was mostly tasty cold white tea with a smidge of black currant. I'm not complaining, though! If at first you don't succeed, try try again and all that.
Although looking at the amount I have left in my pouch, I probably should have included another bag of this stuff with the 52teas order I just placed. SIGH. Ain't it always the way.

TD Canada Trust Toronto Jazz Festival
June 23 - July 2, 2006
By Paul J. Youngman KJA - Jazz Advocate
The TD Canada Trust Toronto Jazz Festival will once again be taking over the city of Toronto, as more than 350 concerts will be presented over ten days and twelve nights. New for 2006 are two series, Euro Jazz and the Cabaret Series, and two new celebrations, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day and Phat Tuesday, as well as an on-site JAZZ.FM91 broadcast centre.
Feature concerts include: Etta James June 27, 2006 at the Hummingbird Centre, John Zorn June 28, 2006 at the Music Hall and Dave Brubeck July 3, 2006 at Massey Hall.

Changes expected at MLB Well-being of college athletes secondary Cartoon: Hoops scrutiny Brooks NBA's chief innovation officer MAC at home in non-Saturday slots Rich Eisen's Top 5 Labor and Agents: Player's NFL lawsuit Lefton: Kaepernick's tough task Legends selling PSLs for Chargers Nomadic's Super Bowl party

Agents consider potential effects of expanded NFL rosters
Teams have had a roster limit of 80 in the spring and summer months, except for last year, when rosters were expanded to 90 after the NFL lockout wiped out spring football activities and shortened teams' preseason camps.
Teams will be required to cut down to 75 from 90 after the third week of the preseason before cutting to 53 before the start of the regular season.
Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons and chairman of the NFL competition committee, said by email that the 90-player roster accounts for drafted yet unsigned players and "creates more certainty and competitive fairness to the roster numbers for teams."
Some agents said the roster expansion would cause clubs to sign younger players and more undrafted players as they did last year, giving more of these players a shot at making an NFL roster than they normally would have, possibly at the expense of veteran NFL players.
Last year, clubs signed a record 615 undrafted rookies, up from about 450 who usually sign with clubs in the weeks right after the draft. Ultimately, only 61 of those 615 players made a team's 53-man roster last year, compared with 57 undrafted rookies on rosters to start the 2010 regular season.
Other agents were unsure of the effect. "I don't know how it makes a difference, except it allows teams to look at more players," said an agent in a text message.
Prominent agent Drew Rosenhaus said the roster expansion will allow clubs to sign more undrafted rookies, but the expansion also could help veteran players.
"The roster expansion will help the 200 plus currently unsigned unrestricted veteran free agents," Rosenhaus texted. "The roster expansion will allow the teams to rest many of their starters during training camp and the preseason games."
OCTAGON SIGNS JOHNSON: Octagon has signed five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion driver Jimmie Johnson as a client. Octagon will work exclusively with Johnson and his team on brand-building initiatives through endorsements and other commercial opportunities.
CAA Sports had represented Johnson in these areas since 2007 and developed a "24/7" HBO show and video game, "Anything With an Engine," for Johnson but didn't close any new endorsements for him.
Alan Miller, Johnson's business manager, said it was time for a change and added that he knew Octagon well because of the agency's work with NASCAR's top series sponsor, Sprint. Said Miller, "CAA worked hard with us. It was simply a matter of believing we needed to head in a different direction." He added that he thinks Johnson has room for endorsements in categories such as apparel, food and watches.
EXCEL SIGNS NBA PROSPECTS: Excel Sports Management signed NBA draft prospects Jeremy Lamb, shooting guard from Connecticut; Meyers Leonard, center from Illinois; and Jared Cunningham, shooting guard from Oregon State. Agency founder Jeff Schwartz, Mike Lindeman and Sam Goldfeder will represent the players.

In Hunter vs. Fisher, agents stay in background
As National Basketball Players Association Executive Director Billy Hunter and President Derek Fisher were engaged in a battle for control of the union last week, NBA agents and sports labor experts questioned whether either one, or the union itself, would survive the increasingly nasty, public fight.
The NBPA executive committee voted 8-0 to ask for Fisher's resignation on April 20, but Fisher vowed not to resign, and last week saw a number of published reports questioning the union's finances and the fact that Hunter's three children and daughter-in-law either were on the NBPA payroll or worked for firms that were paid by the union.
"Maybe that is the solution," said one agent, "that we just decide to be a trade organization. We could just be a trade association and monitor benefits and things of that nature."
This agent, one of the "power" agents pushing for decertification of the NBPA during last year's lockout, said that same group of agents has not met in the wake of the recent union friction but that they would likely get together this summer to discuss what is best for the players and the union.
These agents previously were unhappy with Hunter's strategy not to decertify the union during the lockout and instead pursue an unfair labor practices claim with the National Labor Relations Board. Hunter did ultimately decertify the union, but only after the agents had gathered signatures to hold a players vote to decertify the union.
Many of these agents were unhappy with Fisher during the lockout, too. Many expressed concern to SportsBusiness Journal last fall when FoxSports.com reported that Fisher had discussed collective bargaining with NBA Commissioner David Stern, causing Hunter and another union executive committee member to confront Fisher.
Attempts to reach Fisher last week were unsuccessful. Hunter declined to comment.
On April 20, the NBPA said in a statement that executive committee members asked Fisher to resign because he had acted against the union's and players' interests, including in collective bargaining. Fisher responded with his own release, saying the allegations against him were defamatory and asking for NBA players to ask for a review of the union's business practices and finances.
Said one powerful NBA agent about the allegations against both Hunter and Fisher: "I want all of it investigated; all of it."
All agents interviewed for this story asked for anonymity, saying they did not want to discuss union business publicly.
Many basketball and sports labor experts expected a quick resolution after the NBPA issued its press release asking Fisher to resign and Fisher responded hours later with his own release to the media. But one source close to the situation said, "This could go on for months."
NBPA executive committee member Etan Thomas, in an open letter to Hunter and Fisher published in The Huffington Post, asked both to step back. "Please don't start mud slinging at each other in an ugly public display to tear down each others legacy and reputation," Thomas wrote.
A number of sports labor experts said last week that although they have seen internal union battles hit the news in the past, they haven't seen one quite like this, where the battle has unfolded so publicly while it is ongoing.
"Any kind of public display of divisiveness is harmful to the union because the union has strength through solidarity and this is the antithesis of that," said Bill Gould, a Stanford Law School professor and former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. "In terms of sports unions, this is very unusual, outside of hockey."
Between 2005 and 2009, NHL players fired three executive directors of the NHL Players' Association: Bob Goodenow, Ted Saskin and Paul Kelly, the moves coming for various reasons in fights that split apart the membership of the union.
Ian Pulver was hired as a union lawyer by Goodenow and worked for the NHLPA for 15 years but resigned in 2006.
"Although not the same fact pattern, it certainly brings back memories of the dark cloud that hung over the NHLPA for years," said Pulver, now president of Pulver Sports, an NHL representation firm.
Pulver said it is normal for union members to disagree among themselves — as long as any disagreements remain behind closed doors.
"It is critical that the most influential union members get to the bottom of this immediately before it becomes a long, drawn-out battle in which neither interested party survives and all the players end up losing in the end," he said.
Wagner latest to depart IMG's golf division
IMG Golf suffered another significant loss last week when industry veteran Jon Wagner abruptly parted with the company, representing another high-ranking leader within IMG that has departed the golf division in the last year.
It was last June that Mark Steinberg, the head of IMG Golf, said he and the company were parting ways. He eventually landed at Excel Sports Management, where he took with him Tiger Woods and has since signed Matt Kuchar.
Then in October, IMG eliminated Bart Kendall's job. Kendall, an 18-year IMG veteran, was chief of the consulting business for IMG's golf clients. IMG said it would no longer have a separate consulting division for golf clients.
During that restructuring last year, Wagner and Clarke Jones were named co-managing directors for the newly named IMG Golf Americas. Jones remains with IMG.
London-based Guy Kinnings and Singapore-based Robbie Henchman oversee global IMG Golf. Kinnings confirmed that Wagner is no longer with the company, as of last week.
Wagner worked as a player representative with Sean O'Hair, Trevor Immelman and Luke Donald, among others, and also worked on IMG's event business.

Jeffrey Skolnick To Lead New Center at Georgia Tech
One of the world's leading researchers is joining the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Jeffrey Skolnick, Ph.D., a renowned systems biologist and previously director of the Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics at SUNY-Buffalo, will join the faculty of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) this spring as the Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Computational Systems Biology.
"Computational systems biology is a foundation for the next revolution in biomedicine," said Georgia Tech Provost Jean-Lou Chameau. "Dr. Skolnick's work is a perfect fit with the outstanding research already being conducted in nanotechnology and bioengineering here at Georgia Tech. The addition of Dr. Skolnick and his team of researchers will help position Georgia Tech and the state as leaders in this important field."
Dr. Skolnick will bring with him 19 research scientists and technicians and more than $1.5 million in federal funding, primarily from the National Institutes of Health.
"Georgia Tech and its School of Biology are doing some incredible work in cancer research," said Dr. Skolnick. "The Institute has built a collaborative environment for meaningful interdisciplinary research especially in the areas of science, computing, and engineering. The environment cuts across schools and research centers and offers opportunities to take new ideas, scientific breakthroughs, and business applications ideas from theory to practice."
According to GRA President C. Michael Cassidy, systems biology is the foundation for the next wave of advances in biomedicine.
"Dr. Skolnick is an entrepreneurial scholar whose research is critical to the future health of Georgians and Americans," said C. Michael Cassidy, president of the Georgia Research Alliance. "He has relationships with pharmaceutical and technology companies, holds three patents, has developed and licensed software to biotech companies, and has founded an early stage structural proteomics company. This is the mix of entrepreneurialism and scholarly acumen we seek in our scholars."
Systems biology is the integration of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology with advanced, high performance computing and engineering and is focused on exploiting the vast information growing out of the sequencing of the human genome. One practical example is that as a systems biologist, Dr. Skolnick brings a different scientific approach to creating new drugs. Utilizing bioinformatics and systems biology, his method allows drug developers to reduce the number of compounds they must screen by a factor of 10. This creates cost savings and can significantly shorten the time to market for new drugs.
Dr. Skolnick and his team will be housed in the School of Biology, a unit in the College of Sciences. As a part of his hiring, the Georgia Research Alliance will provide support for new technology and lab facilities for Dr. Skolnick and his team.

What struck me about the MacLeod site is that it makes it clear that clan membership has historically been open to sons-in-law. Also mentioned is foster children. Given that, 47% is a huge proportion to descend from just one man.

I'm in the process of analyzing (for the umpteenth time) DNA from the
Doherty DNA Project. For those who don't know the surname is best known in
Donegal and surrounding counties in the northwest of Ireland. The name is
somewhat unusual in Irish (O Dochartaigh). Aside from the Dohertys of
Donegal the only other origin for the surname found in surname books is O
Dubhartaigh, found mostly in the south of Ireland, in Tipperary, Co. Clare and
Cork. It is properly anglicised Doorty but inevitably became Doherty over the
centuries. As far as anyone knows the surname is not indigenous to

According to tabloids and news stories, Ben and Courtney are not together. I correspond via email, with a lady from Ben's area. She knows his mother, Barbara. According to her, Ben and Courtney are still together. In fact, when she spoke with Barbara recently, she was waiting for them to come over for dinner. I trust what my friend says, so guess I can believe this.
Tabloids do nothing but lie.
There is nothing anyone can say that would make 99% of the people who watched The Bachelor believe that Courtney was not showing her true self on the show. She is a mean, vile woman who even says herself that men don't stay with her for long. I wonder why??????? You can try and blame the editing, blame Fleiss, blame the other women, but there is no one else to blame for the venom that came out of her mouth except Courtney herself. It is hilarious that some people keep trying to condone her behavior and twist and turn her into a likable person. It ain't gonna happen - the woman is a nasty witch.

The owner of the Marlins got to first base with us last year when he said he'd keep the team here and, in order to do it, build a new baseball stadium himself. No sales tax or tourist room tax needed for this self-made gazzillionaire who thrived in the free-enterprise system as a commodities trader. Once on base John Henry slid back a bit by saying he would ask for taxpayer support to do it but not demand it. Sports franchise owners rarely show such timidity in putting their hands out.
Haven't heard much from Henry lately about how he'll privately finance the proposed $300 million retractable-dome stadium. Perhaps it's because civic leaders, including those in Fort Lauderdale, are falling all over themselves in anxious anticipation of bringing a shiny new stadium to their city. Henry, being a sharp trader, has no problem spotting an easy buck and an anxious buyer. City officials were already trying to get taxpayer money for the refurbishment of the old Fort Lauderdale stadium for spring training; just imagine dangling a major league baseball stadium in front of their drooling mouths.
Pure speculation on the city's part? Possibly just another example of Miami wannabe? Hardly. It seems some mysterious speculators have already invaded the neighborhood on the near north side looking for a spot to build an inner-city stadium like Baltimore's Camden Yards and have spoken to one of the biggest political wheeler-dealers in Broward about selling some of his land in the neighborhood.
Jesse Gaddis, who's often called a taxi mogul by the media (and a consummate political insider by us), has old vans and cars sitting in lots on Federal Highway and NE Sixth Street that would be easy enough to move. Gaddis has also pumped bunches of bucks into political campaigns and is buddies with major league Broward politicos such as Sheriff Ken Jenne and Commissioner John Rodstrom. We're not predicting another Port Everglades giveaway here; after all, the city would be in charge. But we have a feeling that whatever Jesse wants, Jesse will get as far as a price on that land. And some sweeteners to cement the deal.
Imagine all the powerful friends in his skybox on opening day.
Over the last year, Hallandale Commissioner Arthur J. Rosenberg has been campaigning hard to add some sizzle to his burg's rather staid and (shall we be brutally truthful? yes, let's) COMA-INDUCINGLY BORING moniker. But now it seems as if Rosenberg's getting impatient.
At the monthly meetings of the Broward League of Cities, Rosenberg has taken to formally introducing his hometown as the marginally sexier-sounding "Hallandale Beach," sources say. Unfortunately, when you toss bullshit at a roomful of long-time politicos, you should expect to get it tossed back at you.
The normal reaction has been for everyone in the room to teasingly follow Rosenberg's lead, thus relabeling the Broward County map and announcing new names for their hamlets, such as:
"Plantation Beach."
"Coral Springs by the Sea."
"Lauderhill -- No Beach, Not Even a Hill."
"Tamarac, Which Doesn't Need No Stinkin' Beach."

Often called the "Pulp Era," the years between the two World Wars have seen a tremendous surge in interest among wargamers. A World Aflame captures the adventurous nature of the time period to present a fun, fast-paced set of tabletop miniatures rules that can handle the many diverse conflicts of the period, from the Chinese Civil Wars and the "Great Game" in Central Asia, to the Irish War of Independence and the bitter ideological warfare of the Russian and Spanish Civil Wars. The rules also contain options for the "Very British Civil War." This gaming trend has sprung up in recent years, following a "what-if" scenario that has Edward VIII refusing to abdicate the throne, thrusting the country into civil war in 1938. It is a quirky, fun setting, and one that is surprisingly popular. Written by a life-long wargamer, A World Aflame focuses on the daring-do and heroism of battles fought in the last great era of adventure.

San Mateo police say a man who was killed by officers had opened fire first.
Chief Susan Manheimer says 35-year-old Robert Caron fired his .38-caliber revolver at officers outside his home Monday morning. Manheimer says the officers returned fire as Caron ran into his backyard.
The confrontation started when police arrived in response to a call that Caron allegedly threatened an employee at a nearby pharmacy with a gun and another call of an armed man causing a disturbance on a back porch.
Manheimer says police were familiar with Caron, who had an extensive history of making threats against officers.
Caron's mother, Sandra Caron, says her son was schizophrenic and had the dispute at the pharmacy over payment for his medication.
The officers involved are on paid leave pending the investigation.

Sounds 100% normal! I felt that crampy "my period is coming any second now" feeling for weeks early on.

Mild cramping and bloating during early pregnancy is completely normal- be careful if you take any pain medication, if you have to take something for pain take acetaminophen since other painkillers can be dangerous for the wee baby. If your cramping becomes intense call the nurse line for information and they will probably tell you to go in to the hospital right away. If you experience bleeding go in immediately.
I have read that irregular periods are a symptom of Hypothyroid, and though it is rare there are several reasons you might get a false positive on a home test. Your doctor can confirm for you with a more thorough urine or blood analysis.
If you think of any questions for your doctor or midwife write them down!
Do a bit of research into signs of early pregnancy, things to watch out for. There are loads of foods (some fish, some cheeses, rare or undercooked meats, preservatives which are found in lunch meats and hotdogs... the list goes on) & activities you need to avoid etc.
My advice to you: start taking prenatal vitamins right away. Drink lots of water, and cut out caffeine as much as possible. Eat little meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar even, since pregnancy can include dizziness and fainting (you are at higher risk of this with your diabetes). If you are worried about morning sickness eat a banana before bed - the potassium and the slow-release natural sugars will help stave off nausea.
My favorite pregnancy book is the Day by Day Pregnancy book - it has tons of useful information for you & your partner, and its fun to use it to track your baby's development.
Again, congratulations & best of luck with your pregnancy.New username is @ truenature

Carrying something heavy shouldn't be a big problem this early on. I drank a bit of champagne before I knew I was pregnant, as well as took some Rx medications considered dangerous in pregnancy, and my daughter was born 100% healthy. Stressing about those things that you can't change is worse for baby than actually doing them half the time! Just avoid alcohol or unsafe medications from now on.
There's a wide range of what's normal in pregnancy, so my advice is just get to a doctor ASAP so they can tell you what you need to do (especially with health issues). And go to the hospital if you have bleeding heavier than some spotting, pain worse than a normal menstrual period, or anything like vision changes, etc.Lillian Elizabeth 6.16.13

As Congressman, Kerry Bentivolio will be a passionate leader in the fight to balance the budget--and save future generations from a crisis they had no part in making.
For the first time in our history, our children and grandchildren may be worse off than we are.
And it is largely because they will be forced to pay back our immense national debt.
Our debt crisis is probably the most pressing issue that our nation faces.
Our debt is so large that our whole country could work for an entire year and contribute every penny to pay it down--and we still wouldn't get rid of it.
The national debt is approaching $16 trillion dollars as of this writing. That's over $50,000 for every man, woman, and child, $140,000 for every taxpayer.
The situation is getting worse, not better.
Our country's debt was not something that happened overnight. It stems from decades of failed leadership from both sides of the aisle.
The Republican Party is the party of less government. We cannot have too many champions in this regard.
We can no longer afford to play "kick the can."
Sooner or later, the bills will come due. The longer we postpone the inevitable, the worse it will be.
We need to reform the way we spend money in order to avoid a crisis similar to that which Europe is currently experiencing.
We can do this in such a way that we honor our commitment to our seniors: by cutting waste elsewhere first; by reforming in a gradual manner; by protecting Medicare and Medicaid fund from being looted by other government programs.
But we cannot do nothing; we cannot avoid difficult choices for political gain.
The debt crisis facing the United States is one of the most preventable calamities that our nation has ever faced.
To force the career politicians to finally act, I strongly support a Balanced Budget Amendment and will co-sponsor such an amendment.
We need courageous action, and we've gotten too little.

A judge handed down a prison term of 36 years and eight months on June 8 for the National City robber dubbed the Frustrated Fan Bandit, which was coined because he wore San Diego Chargers and Padres clothing to the holdups.
Ricardo Colmerno Reyes, 35, could have received a maximum term of 114 years in prison. San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Rogers ordered Reyes to pay $3,865.64 back to the stores he robbed during the five-week spree.
Reyes's fiancée and others left the courtroom in tears, saying they thought he would receive a lesser sentence. His lawyer, Dan Tandon, asked for a sentencing delay, saying Reyes wanted to get married before he was sent to prison.
Reyes, of Tijuana, pleaded guilty to all charges April 5 just before he was to have a preliminary hearing. Tandon urged the judge to impose up to 20 years in prison and requested Rogers not to sentence him consecutively on every count.
The five-week robbery series began Dec. 9, 2011, with the robbery of the Super 8 Motel on Roosevelt Avenue in National City. It was followed by the hold-up of the Yum Yum Donuts shop on East Plaza Boulevard and two other stores in National City.
Rogers went over Reyes's prior record, which included stabbing someone in the arm and leg during a fight in 2002.
Rogers also noted Reyes was sentenced in 2006 for a federal misdemeanor charge of smuggling undocumented aliens and petty theft when he was 23.
Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber sought a longer term, saying one victim was pregnant when Reyes pointed a gun at her.

The bros, Badger, Skinny Pete, and Combo, all look so young as well...
Perhaps if he hadn't gone over on the sports car, young Jesse's life would have gone in a very different direction.
The price is wrong...Bitch.
I think someone named subscribes too Ray William Johnson and SamyyKlass. If so, no shame, they are two great hosts of viral vids.

Sarkozy plays 'man of the people' card as he launches re election campaign
President Sarkozy basked in the cheers of 10,000 Mediterranean fans yesterday as he sought to rekindle his old magic, posing as a protective man of the people at a rally to start his campaign for re-election.
On stage alone at a packed Marseilles exhibition hall, the President deployed lyrical tones to portray himself as the statesman who had saved France from the economic tempest. "When you love France, you tell the truth to the French," he said.
He urged the country to resist the soothing song of François Hollande, the Socialist challenger who is running far ahead of him in opinion polls. The first round of the election is on April 22.
One spectator who liked the president's tune was his musician wife, Carla Bruni,…

It rockets in at about 200 kilometres an hour, with a hellacious, ball-fluffing kick that can carry it to head height on a tall man.
And that's Milos Raonic's second, weaker serve.
Raonic is justly famous for his first-serve screamers, but Plan B isn't exactly a lesser peril – as Nikala Scholtz of South Africa found out in his Davis Cup encounter Friday with the big Canadian.
Down 0-15 and 4-3 in the second set, Scholtz wound up a backhand return as the ball sailed over the net.
He whiffed on it completely.
"The biggest serve I've ever played against, and might even ever play against," the 21-year-old University of Mississippi sophomore said after match, won by Raonic in three sets, 7-5, 6-4, 7-5.
If all you do is glance at the scoreline, it was a closer-than-it-should-have-been match between players who have similar games (big serve, big forehand).
The reality is different.
The 21-year-old Raonic was a little gloomy at not having dominated an opponent who has no professional ranking (and more than a little miffed at the chair umpire over a contentious call in the second set), but he wasn't pushed anywhere close to the edge.
"I was holding points pretty comfortably, I'm a little disappointed I didn't have more break opportunities early," the Canadian said, adding: "I'm glad I won, but not necessarily happy with the way I played."
He can, however, be happy with the way he served.
The 15th-ranked men's player in the world won 51 of 52 first-serve points, 17 of 28 second-serve points, and gave up precisely zero break opportunities; he also cannoned 26 aces past Scholtz.
And as a result, his country is in control of the World Group playoff, up 2-0 after the singles matches in which Raonic and 22-year-old teammate Vasek Pospisil chalked up straight-set victories.
"It was a good day at the office," Canadian captain Martin Laurendeau said with a smile.
It's not hard to see why John-Laffnie de Jager thinks Canada is the best Davis Cup team he has faced since becoming South Africa's captain in 2005.
"You guys [Canada] are in a good position, man," he said.
That's true both in a meta sense – given the relative youth of this country's players and in relation to this weekend's tie.
Though de Jager correctly pointed out that it's eminently possible to overcome an 0-2 deficit in Davis Cup – "It's happened to us," he noted wryly – the South Africans are heavily overmatched.
On Saturday, Raven Klaasen and Izak van de Merwe face the Canadian tandem of Pospisil and Daniel Nestor, who has merely spent most of the last decade as the No. 1 doubles player in the world (he sits third in this week's rankings).
Should Canada triumph, it will win the tie. A South African victory will add suspense to the two final singles matches on Sunday.
Don't bet against the Canadians in doubles, however.
Pospisil clearly revels in the international team competition. "I feel like I want to win a lot more in Davis Cup than when I play for myself," he said with a laugh – and the 40-year-old Nestor is showing few signs of slowing down.
Nestor's experience should be a key factor this weekend, but also for the road ahead.
Should Canada beat South Africa – a team playing without its two top players because of withdrawals and injury – the squad will remain in the elite World Group, and the ambition is to win a tie at the highest level in 2013.
But there is some work to be done before that can happen. And while Laurendeau was pleased with having the lead, he said: "We can't let them get back into this, we need to get this done [Saturday]."
In Friday's opening match, Pospisil chalked up a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over van de Merwe (118th in the ATP ratings).
Ranked 116th after a summer in which he reached as high as 85th, Pospisil survived a shaky first serve – he landed only 51 per cent of them – to open the tie with a confidence-boosting win.
"I really wanted to win, get that first match – hopefully, now the team can build on this momentum," the tall right-hander said.Report Typo/Error

The Panini America Drool Gallery: Must-See Memorabilia Cards Coming to 2013 National
The Panini America Drool Gallery: Must-See Memorabilia Cards Coming to 2013 National
Jul 25th 2013, 14:14, by Tracy Hackler
I absolutely love when Panini America marketing comrade Scott Prusha ventures to the company production facility. He doesnt go over there very often, but when he does, its a sure bet that fireworks will ensue. And so it was earlier this week, when Prusha was on site to finish packing out Panini Americas 2013 National Sports Collectors Convention wrapper-redemption program.
Prusha Tweeted a handful of tantalizing sneak-peek pics from his field trip, providing just enough of the magic to come next week to keep collectors glued to the Panini America Twitter account for the better part of Tuesday afternoon. Luckily for all of us, Prusha snapped way more than the seven or so pics he Tweeted. Over the course of the next few days, were going to share them all with you.
Today were going to provide an extended preview of the Panini America National sets player-worn and player-used memorabilia cards, a captivating assortment of unique gems incorporating jerseys, footballs, gloves and hats. In addition, youll also spy below some key additions to the Panini America employee-worn memorabilia set that pick up where last years debut left off.
The real stars of the memorabilia-card lineup this year, though, are likely to be the plush-prime swatches of the sweat-soaked towel cards and the downright tacky brilliance of the player-worn glove cards both of which were worn and acquired during Mays 2013 NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
But collectors will also find the first memorabilia cards of 2012-13 NHL rookie superstar Nail Yakupov, jersey cards from NBA stars Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, and the first towel card of none other than Kobe Bryant.
Their inclusions speak to the unique collectibility of Panini Americas 2013 National wrapper-redemption set, and should help you understand in advance why the companys booth next week in Chicago will be the talk of the show. Enjoy the preview gallery and stay tuned to The Knights Lance tomorrow for a sneak peek at some of the National sets autograph possibilities.

Definitely need to get this one again. My sample is nearly done, only one cup left after I finish the one I'm slowly savoring. It's got an almost nutty taste — very unlike most green teas because of the addition of popped rice and popcorn. But totally good, and great for someone like me who doesn't really like green tea all that much. Like most green teas, it doesn't take too well to hot temperatures, but if treated properly it's wonderful.

help in understanding hyperdia routes
hi, I would like to ask if somebody could help me explain the routes provided by Hyperdia.
ARRIVAL: KANSAI AIRPORT going to NISHINAKAJIMAMINAMIGATA
can you explain more to me this route. this is what i understood from this route: From Kansai Airport, we are going to look for ticket ofc for the LTD.EXP HARUKA shinkansen to buy tickets. right? After boarding the Haruka we'll arrive at Tennoji Station-- are we supposed to disembark from the bullet train or no? and then are we gonna walk to Osaka City Subway Midosuji line? or are we gonna ride a bus?
IN Hyperdia there's a pink car logo beside Osaka is that a bus symbol or subway? pls. help.
Route3 (from Hyperdia)
Time Route
[32 Min]
[ Arrival track No.18 ] [18 Min]
Osaka City Subway Midosuji Line
Hi there!
I looked up the route for you. It is pretty straightforward, you board the Haruka Express at Kansai Airport and get out at Tennoji, where you transfer to the city subway.
At Tennoji station follow the signs to the Midosuji Line and go trough the ticket gate. Take the metro and get out at Nishinakajimaminimigata.
So exit the train at Tennoji and just walk to the city metro, which will just be a couple of escalators down.
I hope this clears things up!

is the HTC TouchCube program available on this?
i seen a HTC Wing and a few other phones with the cube interface thing where it shows like a box or something. it looks pretty fresh. any help would be the shizznit. and oh yeah, i down loaded mini tunes, but cant figure out how to cut the songs exactly where i want them to start and end. any body with any info will be greatly appreciated
yeah, use the "trim" feature, and use the stylus to place the start (arrow at the beginning of mp3) and end (...at the end) and compress them where you want them. It's best to use ptunes to see approx. where the hook or whatever you want for the ringer begins and ends. it's pretty easy once you figure it out

Best Practice No. 5: Eliminate Complexity
Simpler is always better. But simple isn't easy. Innovations that limit the steps required of local businesses and media sellers, that make information more accessible and easier to understand and streamline the approval and reimbursement processes, will gradually transform the co-op opportunity.
For example, Netsertive has developed an approach that narrows the set of choices that a local dealer needs to make to a simple few, so that co-op becomes more like a simple opt in than a raging battle against red tape and opaque rules.

Crimson women keep rolling
The Harvard women's basketball team pounded Alcorn State, 78-55, in the first round of the Best Buy Classic in Minneapolis. It was the Crimson's third straight win and fourth in their last five.
The Crimson (4-4) shot 50 percent (26 of 52) from the field for the first time this season and four players scored in double figures, led by Brogan Berry's 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. The senior guard shot 4 of 5 from the field and 10 of 12 at the line.

Harvard also hit 19 of 21 from the free throw line, including 16 of 16 in the second half. Clark was 8 of 8 at the line and has made 28 straight from the charity stripe.
The Lady Braves (0-6) briefly tied the score at 7, but an Emma Golen three from the right wing began a 21-3 Harvard run, giving the Crimson a 28-10 advantage.
The Lady Braves used a 9-2 run at the end of the half to send the teams into the locker room with Harvard in the lead, 34-26.
Berry hit a 3-pointer and a spinning drive on consecutive possessions, and made it a 20-point game, 55-35, on a pair of free throws with 12:47 to play.
