Telltale Clues: Solar System Impact Bombardment
Howardites and eucrites are meteorite classifications, both of which are providing surprising clues to solar system-wide impact bombardment billions of years ago.
New research unveils an unexpected link between asteroid Vesta and the Moon, providing new means for studying the early bombardment history of the terrestrial planets.
According to the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, Texas, researchers there have found that large asteroids — like Vesta — share a surprising history with Earth's Moon. In fact, the heavily cratered surface of the Moon and that of Vesta were apparently produced by the same population of high-speed projectiles four billion years ago.
The radiometric ages of lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts have long been used to study the bombardment history of the Moon. Similarly, the impact reset ages of meteorites have been used to study the collisional history of main-belt asteroids.
In particular, howardite and eucrite meteorites (common species in meteorite collections) have been used to study asteroid Vesta, their parent body. Now, for the first time, an international team of researchers show that the same projectiles responsible for making craters and basins on the Moon were also hitting Vesta at very high velocities, enough to leave behind a number of telltale impact-related ages.
This research has been possible thanks to a multi-disciplinary work, including geochemistry, dynamics, simulations of impact events, and spacecraft observations. The findings were published in the March issue of Nature Geoscience in an article entitled "High Velocity Collisions from the Lunar Cataclysm Recorded in Asteroidal Meteorites."
Unusually high-speed projectiles
With the aid of computer simulations, the researchers determined that meteorites from Vesta recorded impacts by unusually high-speed projectiles that are now long gone. They deduced that this period of bombardment was related to a possible dramatic time in solar system history four billion years ago when gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn were migrating from their original orbits to where we see them today.
The team's findings support the theory that this repositioning of the gas giant planets destabilized portions of the asteroid belt and triggered a solar-system-wide bombardment of asteroids. This event, called the "lunar cataclysm," pulled many asteroids into orbits that collided with Earth and the Moon.
The research provides new constraints on the start and duration of the lunar cataclysm, and it demonstrates that the cataclysm was an event that affected not only the inner solar system planets, but asteroid belts as well.
The team's interpretation of the howardites and eucrites was augmented by recent close-in observations of Vesta's surface by NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
In addition, the team used the latest dynamical models of early main-belt evolution to find out the likely source of these high-velocity impactors, and determined that the same projectiles hitting Vesta also had orbits that struck the Moon at high speeds. The impact study team consisted of S. Marchi, an NLSI postdoctoral researcher with W. Bottke (SwRI-CLOE) and D. Kring (LPI-CLSE); B. Cohen (NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama); H. McSween (University of Tennessee, Knoxville); D. O'Brien (Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Arizona); P. Schenk (LPI); C. Raymond (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California); C. Russell (University of California, Los Angeles, California); and international partners K. Wunnemann (Museum Fur Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany) and M. De Sanctis (Instituto Nazionale d'Astrofisica, Rome, Italy).

Australian Peter Carey, 57, has built a distinguished career out of offbeat, risk-taking novels. His "Oscar and Lucinda" (1988), which won Britain's Booker Prize, portrayed two improbable 19th-century Aussie dreamers obsessed with the notion of hauling a glass church across the outback. In "Jack Maggs" (1998), Carey produced an engaging variation on Dickens' "Great Expectations." And he is up to new tricks in "True History of the Kelly Gang" (Knopf; 352 pages; $25), which purports to be a first-person narrative written by Ned Kelly, the outlaw who terrorized and enchanted Australians during the 1870s and who remains something of a national hero and legend.
The actual Ned Kelly, who was hanged for murder in 1880, left behind some papers, and Carey has seamlessly grafted his fictional additions onto the existing historical records. But the power and charm of "True History" arise not from fidelity to facts but rather from the voice Carey invents for Ned Kelly, the son of Irish parents (his father a transported criminal), barely educated by a British schoolmaster who thought that "all micks was a notch beneath the cattle." Like most criminals, Ned believes he is innocent, that whatever wrongs he committed were acts of self-defense against an unjust society bent on crushing him and all like him, the rootless poor robbed of their past. "That is the agony of the Great Transportation," he muses, "that our parents would rather forget what come before so we currency lads is left alone ignorant as tadpoles spawned in puddles on the moon."
It is a well-worn self-justification, but Ned somehow makes it seem fresh and persuasive. What chance does he have, apprenticed as a boy by his desperate mother to a "bushranger," i.e., highway robber, an assistant in crimes before he is old enough to shave? After he serves time in prison and tries to lead an honest life raising horses, the "traps" police constables keep persecuting and trumping up charges against him. Finally, he learns, they plan to track down and kill him. Ned, his younger brother Dan and two confederates ambush the ambushers and strike first: "Events continued without relent Dear God Jesus it were a sorry day."
Ned addresses his account to the infant daughter he has not yet seen and probably, he suspects, never will. That explains the occasional prudishness of his language, as in this rendering of one of his mother's outbursts: "It were eff this and ess that and she would blow their adjectival brains out." Ned's bursts of poetry are suitable for all ages: "At night every river has a secret twin a ghost of air washing above the living water down towards the sea." Or "A fright of blood red parrots flared & swept through the khaki forest." Ned apologizes for his unconventional style, saying, "I never learned my parsing." His readers will acquit him of that charge.

Fast facts on child health
I'm at that phase in life when a lot of my friends are having babies. Within six weeks, I will have gone to three baby showers! I'm thinking about how many prenatal doctor appointments women have in the United States -- and how many checkups and appointments most newborns have in their first year of life.
But what if there was no doctor to visit? No hospital or nearby clinic? No family doctor or trained midwife?
What would happen? Maternal and child mortality rates would go up.

"American workers and employers are looking for some glimmer of hope that the ruling party in Washington sees their struggles and recognizes the need for a change in course. Month after month, millions of Americans look for work but cannot find it. Month after month, employers seek the confidence they need to expand and thrive, but uncertainty remains. Yet month after month, Democrats in Washington keep our nation on its unsustainable path of deficit spending and looming tax hikes.
"Today's report is not merely a monthly snapshot but the latest evidence that job creation trends are falling far short of what we need for a sustainable recovery. Our economy remains stagnant, with major indicators showing little or no change despite our need for meaningful growth and expansion. Moreover, yesterday Gallup predicted the jobs picture may be even worse than today's report reveals, with the most recent unemployment increases not reflected in today's numbers.
"It's time for lawmakers to listen and learn – to listen to our constituents and learn from the failed policies that have not delivered the economic recovery the American people were promised. Republicans have made a Pledge to America to immediately focus on job creation by ending economic uncertainty, stopping out of control government spending, and taking other commonsense steps to make America more competitive. Jump-starting the economy and digging out of debt will take time, which is why we must start immediately."

'Fired up' Silva shines in third start
'Fired up' Silva shines in third start
MESA, Ariz. -- Carlos Silva got good news on Tuesday from his mother, and the Cubs got an even better report on the right-hander. Silva had his strongest outing this spring, giving up two hits over four scoreless innings in the Cubs' 4-1 win over the Texas Rangers in front of 13,157, the fourth-largest crowd in HoHoKam Park's history. Silva always sends a message to his mother before and after he pitches, but earlier Tuesday, he got a long-awaited phone call from Venezuela. His mother, Zulay, was granted a 10-year visa. Now, she'll be able to come to Chicago to watch her son pitch.
"That was a big headache the last couple years," Silva said. "She had been getting denied, denied, denied. I think that's why I was fired up today." Another reason could be that all the lessons with Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild appear to be paying off. "That's as well as I've seen him throw all spring," manager Lou Piniella said. "He got ahead in the count, you saw him elevate pitches, you saw him pitch inside, he had a good changeup. That's a nice performance today. He kept his velocity up for the full four innings. He should be really pleased -- I know we were." "It's good to see the results," Silva said. Among other changes, the Cubs want Silva to throw more across his body and finish toward third base. After the last side session, Rothschild told Silva to take what they had been working on into a game and have fun. "Today, before the game, he said, 'Don't worry about anything, just fire the ball up in there,'" Silva said. "That's exactly what I did today, and we had good results."

Temporary Housing
Due to the high demand for housing on Carnegie Mellon's campus, we utilize Open Housing Assignments and Temporary Housing in order to accommodate all incoming first-year students and our upper-class students.
Each year, a small number of incoming first-year students are assigned to temporary housing spaces in Donner House and Mudge House, or in lounge space in Morewood E-Tower. Reduced Rate triple rooms in Donner and Mudge are also options for incoming first-year students.
Morewood E-Tower lounge spaces that are used for temporary housing are set up as many as five residents, if needed, with a bed, desk and dresser available for each resident. Closet space will be shared.
How does Temporary Housing work?
After all other spaces are filled, incoming students with the latest deposit dates (usually May 1 or later) will be assigned to temporary housing.
Usually within the first few weeks of the fall semester, a permanent assignment is identified and the residents are notified of their assignment and asked to select a move date. We know from past years that a small number of first-year students either decide not to move-in to their housing space, or they choose to leave after the first few weeks, and their vacancies are then used to relocated temporary housing resdients. Housing Services will coordinate with the student to help move his or her belongings to the new space. While every effort is made to assign temporary housing residents to permanent spaces in first-year areas, that is not always possible. Temporary residents are not permitted to decline their permanent assignment. However, temporary housing residents who are not happy with their permanent assignment will be given an opportunity to go on the room change wait-list for a more desirable space.
Is there a discount?
Residents for the 2016-2017 academic year who are assigned to temporary accommodations in Morewood E-Tower for move-in day will receive a discounted rate for the number of days that they are living in temporary accommodations. Once a permanent assignment is identified, the student account will then be adjusted to reflect the cost of the new room rate, prorated based on the date of the move. Students are responsible for the cost of their permanantly assigned room.
Temporary housing residents should be aware that many university housing spaces have higher room rates than the "standard double" rate. We are not able to guarantee a specific room rate for your permanent assignment, and residents and families should be prepared for the possibility of a higher room rate than the initial standard double charge.
Can I stay in temporary housing if I like it?
No. All residents assigned to temporary housing will be required to move to a permanent assignment once one becomes available. To make this transition easier, Housing Services assist temporary residents with moving their belongings to their new housing assignment.

Valeo Developing Supercapacitor-Based Energy Storage for Regenerative Braking with StARS
18 May 2007
|Configuration of the StARS + X system with start-stop and regenerative braking. Click to enlarge.
Valeo is developing a supercapacitor-based extension to its award-winning StARS stop-start system (earlier post) to support regenerative braking and thus enable a greater reduction in fuel consumption than is possible with the stop-start system alone.
By itself, the start-stop system delivers a reduction in fuel consumption of 4-5% (although Valeo has measured reductions of up to 25% in real-world testing in congested traffic in Paris). The new StARS + X system with regenerative braking can deliver a 10-15% reduction, according to Valeo.
The StARS + X system uses a slightly different architecture with different motor for starting and regen, and support for voltage between 14V and 30V. The floating voltage enables extended torque for diesel or large engine cold cranking, 4 kW generation for regenerative braking and extra power supplies for peak loads.
Valeo is working with multiple supercapacitor technologies with capacitance values of 200 farads with nominal voltage between 20V and 30V, depending upon the technology. The company is using different size powerpacks—12-, 10- and 6-cell—to support a range of powertrains and internal space constraints.
The powerpacks must last for the lifetime of the vehicle, deliver reliability in the harsh thermal environment created by being close to the engine, and be safe and environmentally friendly. Valeo is specifying 600,000 stop-starts, 1 million regeneration events, and 200,000 boost events for the system.
Testing in partnership with INRETS (French National Institute for Transport and Safety Research) on the new systems is currently underway. The main goal of the current testing is to observe the failure of the cells.

The beauty of electricity is that the UC banks do not in fact need to be under the bonnet at all. They can be squirreled away underneath the passenger seats.
Valeo's approach looks sound: start with microhybrids and work your way up, keeping a close eye on the price-performance ratio. In terms of fleet average fuel economy/CO2 emissions, it's much more effective to deploy this type of system in millions of cars than to bring just a few hundred thousand fully hybrids to market.
An important aspect for the European market is that microhybrid systems are pretty much the only ones that car makers can afford to mate with diesel engines, especially in cars designed to be city runabouts.
The ultracaps, possibly in combination with combustion-assisted "direct start" technology, should deliver very smooth and efficient restarts of the engine. It should also deliver some extra torque to a manual transmission in first gear, something otherwise only available with a less efficient and expensive AT.
This system sounds like an excellent step forward, unless it is only used to boost acceleration power and therefore not add much to fuel economy. I hear the Lexus SUV hybrid is basically a power booster, not a gas saver. A puny motor saves gas only because you can't stomp on the gas any more than it already is usually (I owned a 2 cyl honda ...around 45mpg in 1988) Stands to reason that a regular sized motor and electric power boost would equal be used for nitrious like power boosting.
I agree with your comments about micro-hybrids appearing on millions of vehicles is something to be desired, especially while the full hybrids still have a price component disadvantage.
Another beneficial side effect is that the widespread adoption of stop-start systems and regenerative braking systems will drive the cost of hybrid and full hybrid componentry down by manufacturing volume efficiency.
That will bring the day closer when full hybrids will no longer suffer a sales price disadvantage.
I never understood why micro-hybrids were so derided when they first appeared in limited numbers.

Three-star Citra (Fla.) North Marion wide receiver Greg Carr is playing his recruitment close to the vest at this point in the season, but offers a few hints here and there about who the major players might be.
"I like a bunch of schools," he said. "I haven't really narrowed it down at all. I'm trying to keep an open mind to everyone who has talked to me. I know Florida State's going to be in there at the end, but past that, I'm not real sure."
Carr (6-5, 200, 4.55) has offers from FSU, Alabama, Louisville, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh and Michigan State. He's received phone calls from all of those schools, as well as Georgia, Florida and Boston College in the last week and a half.
Article Continues Below
There's another school he'd like to hear from this month.
"Michigan is my favorite college," he said. "But I've never heard anything from them. If they started recruiting me, I'd definitely be interested."
Carr has yet to set up any official visits. He said he hoped to sit down with his prep coach and arrange a few of those within the next couple of weeks. He hopes to make unofficial visits to FSU and Florida for games in the near future.
As a junior, Carr caught 35 passes for 700 yards and nine touchdowns. He got his senior season off to a huge start last week with an eight-catch, 186-yard performance. He scored one touchdown in the opener.
Academically, he maintains a 2.5 GPA and will take the ACT in October.

A strongest army tends to be hosting the position of its country in the whole world. So, it is necessary to have a strong army for the safeguard of the state. This subjective list of top 10 most strongest armies in 2013 is basically based upon the army number, power and strength but it excludes the strength based upon the atomic power. Larger the number of the army men in a state, the stronger it will be to protect the state. Lets have a look upon which army force is hosting its state on the top list.

The hinges control the rate that the oven door opens and closes, and allows the door to stay open at an angle. This hinge can be used on either the left or right hand side of your oven, and is approximately 20 1/2 inches long. If your oven door will not open or close easily, you may need to replace this part. It may be a good idea to replace both hinges at the same time. If a spring has become loose on one hinge, the other hinge is likely to have the same issue. The repair is simple and only requires a Phillips screwdriver and a small bent nail. For a full step-by-step guide, check out the video below.
This part works with the following brands: Jenn-Air, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, Magic Chef.
This part works with the following products: Wall Oven, Microwave Oven Combo, Microwave, Cooktop, Range, Grill.
This part fixes the following symptoms:

Parts arrived in three days and it was an easy swap of the hinges but the same problem still existed: the oven door wouldn't close completely, so the oven light stayed on and the convection wouldn't work either unless the door closed all the way. The replacement hinge's springs apparently aren't strong enough to close it and the springs aren't adjustable - which is a design flaw. I did correct the problem though, by using three dollars worth of 1" round magnets, which I placed inside the door: they stay put and are strong enough to pull the door tight.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I replaced the hinges on the door, it wasn't that hard to do, a couple of minor things I had to overcome. But the new hinges still don't close the door completely. The light still comes on. I don't think the springs in the hinges are strong enough.I asked for a particular part number in my order, the sales rep, said that wasn't the correct part number, and gave me a different part number. Now I'm not sure if the sales rep gave me the correct part or not.Either way, I spent money for new hinges, and my own labor, and I still have the same problem.I've placed calls with Jenn-air, and local technicians, but so far, do not have a solution to my problem. So overall, I'm not very happy.Anyone got any ideas?
One oven door hinge spring was broken. I ordered two hinges to complete the repair.The repair could not have been easier. I removed the door from the oven an unscrewed the outer frame of the door from the inner door assembly. I unscrewed the old hinge assembly and replaced them with the two new hinges.I set the door back on the oven and replaced the oven door retaining hardware.After replacing the retaining hardware, I removed the temporary shipping pins that keep the spring assembly static. Very important: don't remove these hinge pins until the door is on the oven an the oven retaining hardware is secured.
Remove oven door by removing chrome flat plate that holds the hinge in place (one screw at each hinge) and LIFT door off oven. There is a hole in the hinge that you can stick a small nail through to hold the hinge in the "partially open" position for easier removal and replacement of the door (I didn't know this until I received the new hinges, which have a removeable pin in the hole.) After door is off, remove three screws each, on the top and bottom of door, to remove the back half of door and expose the hinges. Remove one screw from bottom of door that holds bottom of hinge in place. Lift out hinge bottom and unhook top of hinge. Reverse process to reassemble. Remove small pins by opening oven door fully. The new hinges did solve the problem. You have to order two hinges for each door. They are NOT sold as pairs.
Removed the door then the end caps and inner panel then the hinge system and replaced with the one piece new set of hinges and back together done in 30 to 45 minutes The new parts were a perfect replacement.
Parts arrived as scheduled with no problems. First I removed and repaced the 2 oven door hinges to see if this would fix the problem with the door not closing all the way (had to push door to get the oven light to go out). Since no instructions were shipped with the new hinges, I followed the information given by other customers on how they were able to change the hinges. Changing the hinges DID NOT fix the problem with the door! The new hinges did not pull the door any tighter than the old hinges. Door closure problem finally fixed by supergluing several round mangnets (Lowes) to the door which pulls the door tight when closed. I learned this trick from another customer's report (thanks for the idea!). Next I removed and replaced the failed control panel. This was the second panel to fail on this oven in the 5 years it has been installed! The first panel was replaced under warranty after approx 2 years of use. Hopefully, the magnets will keep the oven door closed and prevent overheating of the control panel which will allow this poorly designed oven to last a little longer this time!
We panicked cause even simple repairs on these products cost and cost.....but we remained calm and ordered the exact part necessary from you. It arrived in just 3 days and once we had the part in hand it was easy to understand how to replace it. We disassembled the door with screwdrive and swapped the broken part with the new one. The one gotcha was that we were not aware of the shipping pin holding the spring and we struggled for a few trying to get the door closed all the way. Once we discovered the pin and removed it, it was fixed and we were PLEASED!Thank you,Louise and Rickl
I replaced the hinges as described in other posts and the problem was solved. When the oven was 2 years old it had the same problem but the hinges should not have fatigued at that point. The engineering problem someone mentioned is that the pin of the light switch is too short. I touched it with lipstick, closed the oven door, and opened the door to see exactly where the door touched the pin. I drilled a small hole in the door and screwed in a self tapping metal screw...problem solved for 8 years until the hinges fatigued. After replacing the hinges I tried removing the screw but the light stayed on so I put the screw back.
I removed the single screw on each side of the oven by the hinge to remove the hinge cover plate and expose the hinge opening. I lifted off the glass oven door up and out and set it on my work bench. The door is heavy because its glass so make sure the doors on the way to the garage are open to your work bench area. I installed the cover plates back on so i would not loose the little covers and screws. I removed the screws all around the door and set them in a cup and lifted up the inner part of the door and the hinges are exposed. After removing the screws that hold on the hinges it lifted right out. I cleaned all the glass and set the new hinges in and locked them down with the screws and installed back the inner part of the door to the outer part and returned all the screws back. I then removed they screws on the hinge covers. I did not loose them with 4 kids running around and lifted the door back into the hinge openings and pushed down and it locked in. I then put a little pressure down on the door and removed the little locking pins. I pushed the door all the down and installed the hinge covers back on and it works beautiful. I think the new hinges are better than the set that came with the Jenn-Air wall oven. Thanks Parts Select. Also the new hinges came in 3 days as promised.
Replacing the electronic Clock Assembly was a piece of cake - just as earlier DIYers had experienced.The door hinges were not any harder to replace, but it does not affect the behavior of the door. The light stays on unless we keep the door closed with a hook and anchor ( bent piece of metal and a wooden wedge). Not pretty, but effective. Obviously a design flaw... keeping door closed in this way forces all airflow to top and has melted the paint into a wrinkled surface. We had a service person replace the gasket seal and hinges before, but the problem still persists. I did discover that soaking the light cover in a cola drink overnight did a splendid job of cleaning off the gunk.
Remove the screws from bottom of door to gain access to the hinge screws. Remove the bottom hinge screws and then open the door to gain access to the top hinge screws. CAUTION after removing the top screws close the door as far as possible while still griping the sides of the door. Pull up on the sides to remove the door from the stove. The springs are fully loaded if you have the door open all the way and try to lift up (like I did) the hinge will spring back and get your finger. Install the new hinge, put the door back into the oven, install all the screws and then remove the temporary rivet that comes installed in the new hinge.
The repair was very easy to perform, but the springs in the new hinge were not as strong as the old one. The door would not close all the way unless you held it closed. The hinge looked identical but spring had less tension.
I watched a You Tube video,removed and dismantled the door, installed the new hinge. I forgot to remove the small pin which is similar to a rivet. When I tried to close the door it bent. Eventually, I remembered the shipping pin and pulled it out with any damage. Believe it or not, I had read about the shipping pin on customer comments on PartsSelect...Good luck, it is relatively easy!
Although only one side hinge had snapped, I replaced both sides with new oven door hinges. Followed the website video installation directions and all went well; the new hinges work perfectly.
My wife help take the door off. It was a little heavy . The door came apart very easy and went back the same way.We save over $300 by doing it our selfs.

A Corner Bar Cabinet by Lenny Kravitz
CB2 just launched their fall furniture collection with Lenny Kravitz, and this bar cart immediately caught my eye. It was inspired by Kravitz's own speaker cabinets, and it's so clever for small spaces — don't we all have a corner somewhere that's a little under-used?
The cabinet has one drawer for supplies, and it's finished with walnut veneer for a handsome look. I like the way it floats on a plinth, too, which makes it feel both light and substantial at the same time.
Whether you use it for liquor in the living room or cookbooks in the dining room, it's a lovely use of a corner.

Mandy, like you, when I create these (I've created some others that I never posted), they always remind me of open pages of a book. For some reason or other, the 'pages' always looked too blurry to me...but luckily, this one didn't.
Ahh, but you don't do it on your own puzzles!!! Its very well deserved, I think this open book effect is totally fantastic.
I'm so glad that you guys- whatnauts, Mandy, Pat, Katie, and Jill....enjoyed this.
Mandy, I'm supposed to be the only one who says WOW, WOW, WOW. You're copying me! LOL
This is beautiful, Wendy. Even the puzzle pieces were cool looking! Thanks!
This is the COOLEST star - thanks Wendy!!!!!
Love it!!!
As soon as I saw this I went WOW, WOW, WOW - now I'm speechless!!!
This gorgeous star must be shining down on your incredible flower garden during the nights. Lovely design.
Thanks so much, PJ. Yes, I spent hours selecting origami papers....and then had to pay for them. Next time I'm going to pull the puzzle off of Jigidi and reuse all the paper to save me some money. LOL
Wendy - this is a dream puzzle; wonderful design, glorious contrasting colors and interesting shapes. Love it. (I assume you spent hours ordering the colored bits of paper)

So how did the BLM get their hands on this? They acquired the land grants from Tenneco Oil Company, for some hefty tax write offs I'm sure. Pennzoil did the same thing in northern NM. Both were done under Ronald Reagan. While at Interior I tried to fight the one in NM, but James Baker in the White House was a big supporter. Besides, the Treasury Dept. makes the call on the tax write offs.

Yellow fever in Guinea
14 January 2009 - On 31 December 2008, The Ministry of Health (MoH), Guinea reported two laboratory confirmed cases of Yellow fever in the health district of Faranah. Both cases were reported by the Yellow fever surveillance system and presented with symptoms of fever and jaundice. The initial case was a 40-year old man from Faranah Koura and the second case was another 40-year old man from the sector of Nianfourando, both localities belong to Faranah centre area. The onset of symptoms for both cases was the beginning of November 2008.
The cases were confirmed at the WHO Collaborating Centre for Yellow Fever, the Pasteur Institute, Dakar, Senegal where differential diagnosis for other haemorrhagic fevers was carried out. Additionally, another 21 clinical Yellow fever suspected cases were reported, of which three died.
On the basis of the outbreak investigation, a reactive mass vaccination campaign, planned for 26 January 2009 and targeting 60,485 people, will be carried out in some strategic areas in the health district of Faranah. The MoH has made a request for Yellow fever vaccines for the mass vaccination campaign from the GAVI funded Global Emergency Stockpile for Yellow fever Vaccine, managed by the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision for Yellow Fever Control (YF-ICG).

Look to beautiful, quick-growing chervil to unite the sharp, tangy elements of spring and fall salads. Its delicate, ultra-mild licorice flavor adds depth and balance to the salad bowl and is matched by the softness of its foliage, which archs gently close to the ground in sprays of light green wispiness. It is a traditional ingredient of the French herb mix known as fines herbes, and it is a hardy, cold-tolerant crop that can overwinter with little fuss.
Direct sow as soon as ground can be worked. Thin to 4" spacing. Harvest when young by cutting the outer stems as you would cilantro or parsley; warming temperatures will initiate bolting. Sow in succession in the spring for a steady supply. If you allow the plant to go to seed, you will have fresh chervil very early the following spring, as the young offspring easily overwinter in zones 5 and up.

JEREMY HOBSON: The British oil giant BP has released an internal report that says multiple companies and people are to blame for the Gulf of Mexico oil leak. The report says a series of "complex" failures led to the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. Stephen Beard is looking over the report this morning and joins us live from London. Good morning, Stephen.
STEPHEN BEARD: Hello Jeremy.
HOBSON: Well, it's an internal report, so not surprisingly BP isn't taking too much blame. Does the report exonerate BP?
BEARD: No. That would be quite an achievement. The report, as you say, spreads the blame. It says there was no single cause for the disaster, it was a sequence of failures -- mechanical and human failures by BP and its partners in the Gulf. The report finds fault with the cement at the bottom of the well. That was Halliburton's responsibility. It says BP and the rig owner, Transocean, staff on the rig misinterpreted pressure gauge readings. And also Transocean's blowout preventer failed because critical components weren't working. It failed, and therefore did not cut off the flow of oil. So many reasons for the disaster, many parties at fault according to BP.
HOBSON: And if BP is spreading the blame around, will the company be able to share the cost of the cleanup and the lawsuits?
BEARD: That will be BP's hope. This report very much reads like the case for the defense. The case for the prosecution is likely to be more severe and, as we know, the Department of Justice has a criminal investigation under way and there are high-powered inquiries by a host of Congressional committees and more than 300 civil lawsuits in place. So BP will have a lot of questions to answer.
HOBSON: And quickly, Stephen, not long ago we were talking about BP potentially going bankrupt as a result of this spill. Has the outlook changed?
BEARD: Yes. I think so. It's worth noting the stock market liked the report today. And more encouraging news for BP, Fitch -- the ratings agency -- lifted its credit rating on the company.
HOBSON: All right, Marketplace's Stephen Beard in London, thanks.
BEARD: OK Jeremy.

HAMPSTEAD, NC (WWAY) — North Carolina is no stranger to Relay for Life events, but this weekend, organizers in Pender County decided to spice things up.
Kiwanis Park in Hampstead hosted the International Festival supporting Relay for Life in Pender County. The event featured bands and dancers with international flavor, and brought vendors and games together for the kids. The goal was to create awareness of the cultural diversity in Southeastern North Carolina and raise funds to find the cure for Cancer.
"We all know so many people that have been touched by cancer," said team member and business owner Andrea Jacquot. "Especially most recently in our own community."
Team members say that even though raising money for research is important, bringing the community together means much more to those fighting cancer.
"It is important for a couple of reasons. First, to bring the community together and bring everybody out here to support the fight against cancer," said Captain of Bob's Brigade, Bob Hammond. "The main thing about the fight against cancer is that we support each other."
Bob was one of many team members to say there is more strength in numbers.
"It's not about how much we make or how much we raise," said Jacquot. "It is just about coming together for the community."
Over 1500 people showed up to Saturday's event. Team members are pushing to get survivors signed up for future events. They say survivors pull together to help each other, and also have a powerful influence on those who have been recently diagnosed with cancer.

The summer movie season really kicked into gear Wednesday with the premiere of Super 8 in Los Angeles, featuring some of Hollywood's biggest names.
Producer Steven Spielberg and director J.J. Abrams were joined by the sci-fi film's stars, including Elle Fanning and Kyle Chandler, as well as colleagues and friends such as Tom Cruise and Conan O'Brien, who explored the party hand-in-hand with his wife.
Cruise looked casual and happy as he strolled solo down the black carpet, stopping here and there to chat and seeming entirely at ease.
The afterparty was modeled like a vintage block party on a closed-down section of Weyburn Avenue in Westwood. Guests dined on Fatburger sandwiches and appetizers like deviled eggs, mini tacos, apple sausage corn dogs and guacamole tostadas. There were also hot dog and cookie bars, as well as a 7-Eleven truck with lemonade and slushies.
Jenna and Bodhi Elfman held court at one table at the bash, chatting with Modern Family's Nolan Gould, who plays Jenna's son in the upcoming film Friends With Benefits.
Jaime King waited in line at the Fatburger truck, where she told a friend that hamburgers are her favorite food. Other guests included Donald Faison, Michael Clarke Duncan, Terry Crews and Amanda and Aly Michalka.

I've seen it over and over when everything looks one way it turns out different. I was surprised Alex went next (awful glad too) it was starting to look like he would go, so I figured they were trying to fool me again. I had made my mind up it was a set up to make it look like Alex would be booted and Matt would be the one out. Nice being fooled for a change.
Don't know who will go next week but hoping it will be Heidi, Jenna or Rob (in any order). The strongest players are Heidi, Matt and Rob. Butch, Chaisty and Jenna aren't smart enough to realize this. Jenna is too into the buddy system with Heidi to get it, on the other hand old Heidi would get rid of Jenna in a New York minute if it saved her. Rob would be the best bet to take to the end none of the jury would vote for him to win. If either Chaisty or Butch is in the final two they would win over anyone else.
Seems there are always people like Deena and Roger who never figure it out. It's obvious these two have never watched any of the Survivor shows or they would have played the game different. People like them never win. They just have to be bossy and controlling and it don't work. Seems impossible for people like this to keep from bragging. Made my day when both of them went. :

a beautiful story of finding freedom and the cruelties of slavery. heart wrenching truth, but need to be heard by all.
"Classic, but not a masterpiece"
I always wanted to read this book. I chose the audible version simply due to time, and I am glad I listened and not read. Had I read the book, I would have put it down. The other reason to listen/read this book is because it, like many good books, are on the "banned book" list by those that like to control morality through bans, laws, and control.
In the end I was glad to finally check the book off.
The performance was spectacular and flawless. I was pleasantly surprised at the flow of some of the words and terms that would make most people stumble and stutter.
I believe it was worth listening to. The accomplishment of saying the book is done overreaches the content however.
The book is littered with Christianity references, which isn't offensive - despite not being a Christian - but is nonetheless a bit too much for my palate. Those that can't stand a few hours of those types of references might want to steer away.

Sean Williams, a 6-foot-10 shot-blocking center who was kicked off the Boston College team for alleged marijuana use, will work out for the Knicks next month, according to a source. Williams is on Thomas' radar with the No. 23 pick in the NBA Draft.
Williams, not listed on most mock drafts because of his serious off-court issues, had 75 blocked shots in 15 games before he was booted in January. His stock is expected to rise after workouts.
A Boston College source said Williams had been suspended before for similar issues. Players are tested in the NBA five times a year for marijuana use. Drafting Williams would play into Thomas' mantra of building through "unconventional" ways. Williams may be at Wednesday's pre-draft camp in Orlando.

Collaborate with us to invoke and fully manifest Srila Prabhupada's Vani-presence.
One can attain the position of master only by the mercy of the master, not independently
Expressions researched:
"One can attain the position of master only by the mercy of the master, not independently"
SB Canto 7
Prahlāda Mahārāja said: My dear King, the source of my strength, of which you are asking, is also the source of yours. Indeed, the original source of all kinds of strength is one. He is not only your strength or mine, but the only strength for everyone. Without Him, no one can get any strength. Whether moving or not moving, superior or inferior, everyone, including Lord Brahmā, is controlled by the strength of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Lord Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā (10.41):
- yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ
- śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā
- tat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁ
- mama tejo-'ṁśa-sambhavam
"Know that all beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor." This is confirmed by Prahlāda Mahārāja. If one sees extraordinary strength or power anywhere, it is derived from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. To give an example, there are different grades of fire, but all of them derive heat and light from the sun. Similarly, all living entities, big or small, are dependent on the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One's only duty is to surrender, for one is a servant and cannot independently attain the position of master. One can attain the position of master only by the mercy of the master, not independently. Unless one understands this philosophy, he is still a mūḍha; in other words, he is not very intelligent. The mūḍhas, the asses who do not have this intelligence, cannot surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Understanding the subordinate position of the living entity takes millions of births, but when one is actually wise he surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gītā (7.19):
- bahūnāṁ janmanām ante
- jñānavān māṁ prapadyate
- vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti
- sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare." Prahlāda Mahārāja was a great soul, a mahātmā, and therefore he completely surrendered unto the lotus feet of the Lord. He was confident that Kṛṣṇa would give him protection under all circumstances.

Principals to the Twelve Mile Swamp land deal went home happy after Tuesday's meeting of the St. Johns Board of County Commissioners.
The commission voted unanimously to approve changes to the county's Comprehensive Land Use and its Future Land Use Map moving commercial and residential uses off the Twelve Mile Swamp to other property owned by the Cummer Land Trust.
The trust has agreed to sell the 21,931 acres that make up the swamp to the St. Johns River Water Management District for $20.1 million. Ray Bunton, the water district's director of land acquisition, expects the sale to close by the end of the first quarter of 2001.
''We're very pleased,'' Bunton said after the meeting. ''This is probably the last major step in this acquisition process, which has taken eight years.
''We the district and the state appreciate the support that St. Johns County has shown in all of this and the persistence of Lyn Pappas and the Cummer Trust to continue on (toward a sale),'' he said.
The land is located from slightly south of County Road 210 to just north of State Road 16 between Interstate 95 and U.S. 1.
The change also affects about 4,080 acres of other Cummer property near the swamp where commercial and residential development rights will be permitted. The swamp will become rural silviculture, or timber, land use.
The changes now go to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for its approval. County Planning Director Teresa Bishop said the process should be completed by the end of January.
Prior to the commission's action Tuesday, it approved the receipt of 50 feet of right of way on County Road 210 near the acreage that will be set aside for future residential and commercial use.
Lyn Pappas, attorney for the Cummer Land Trust, brought the deed to the meeting and gave it to Deputy County Attorney Dan Bosanko.
The county will be required to pay $10 for the land as part of the transfer.
The right of way, said Pappas, amounts to 14 acres over two miles.
Pappas has worked on the proposed swamp acquisition for the past eight years.
''I couldn't be more pleased,'' she said. ''This is a good opportunity for the county.''
One issue which Commissioner John Reardon raised during the meeting was the possibility of public access to the swamp.
The swamp has a timber lease on it until 2025. In order for the water district to buy the land, it had to agree to uphold the timber rights lease with Rayonier.
''There are no guarantees that can happen,'' said Bunton. ''We hope to be able to gain some very passive access by the public, but the timber lease controls the access.''

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize your system's time with an online server.
NTP can also be used to serve time for a network.
All Microsoft Windows versions since Windows 2000 include the Windows Time Service, which has the ability to sync the computer clock to an NTP server. However, the version in Windows 2000 only implements Simple NTP, and violates several aspects of the NTP version 3 standard.
First we study how to set the Windows 2000 time service as a NTP time-server. It shows how to modify registry entries to set the Microsoft Windows Time Service. The Windows Time service allows the network to provide synchronisation of all machines within one domain.
Configure Windows 2000 Time Service
Windows 2000 has an integrated time synchronisation service, installed by default, which can synchronise to a NTP Server. So, by manipulating registry settings, the service can do as both an SNTP client and SNTP server to synchronise other network clients.
Before modifying registry entries it is good to backup the registry settings. The registry can then be restored in the event of problems being encountered. Read more

Use What You've Got – To Do the To Do List
Use What You've Got – To Do the To Do List!
What does that mean? It means automating your to do list.
I'm continuing what I started Monday about Outlook. There is a section in Outlook which is called Tasks and it is really one of the greatest ways to keep track of your "To Do" list while adding a little time management in there.
The To Do List generally never gets done. Why? Because most of the time it's way too long and no one thinks of what else they could be doing with the to dos on their to do list.
Start here:
- Initially, write everything down on one long list.
- Then start sorting this list into the following: to delegate, to eliminate, to actually do myself – just add a D beside the item for delegate, E for eliminate and M for actually do myself
- Now you have a manageable list in the "to actually do myself" portion
What do you do with these lists? The D tasks and the M tasks will be entered into Tasks in Outlook. One of the most wonderful things you'll notice about Tasks is that you don't have to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite the tasks over and over again each day.
Immediately when you open the Task screen, Tasks gives you a simple list of all the tasks. Of course, if you haven't used it before, you won't have tasks in there. Take a minute to look at the left hand side of the page and notice the options available – simple list, detailed list, active tasks, next seven days, overdue tasks, by category, assignment, by person responsible, completed tasks, task timeline and another two underneath those – open shared tasks and customize current view. Quite an array, right? How useful do you think these lists will be?
There are as many ways to set up your system the way you like as you can think. Check out the Customize Current View – pick what you want and also Tools, Options – you'll be amazed how much you can customize Tasks including adding Notes to individual tasks.
Adding tasks is easy – Click on New in the Toolbar and a screen will open. Put in the task in the subject line, the due date, the start date, status, priority and reminder. Notice at the bottom, you can also associate it with a contact and/or with a category. Notice too there is another tab – Details where you can estimate how long that task will take to complete.
You're not finished yet – on the top toolbar there are even more options – a file can be attached to this task, Recurrence feature is available if this task will happen regularly, Assign Task – remember that part of your list which was D for delegate – and each task can be made private too if others share this Tasks panel.
Play with the options – you can't break anything – and you'll discover some amazing "secrets" in the Tasks area of Outlook.
Now here is how you connect your calendar and your task list. Take each one of tasks, hold left click button down on the task and drag the task to the Calendar tab on Outlook – and voila! the task appears in your Calendar – and if you had set the length of time in the New Task screen in Details, that time will be blocked in your Calendar – isn't that great! What a way to get through a to do list using time management!
All those pieces of paper with the "to do list" on them are now in your computer and in your calendar – you'll never forget anything again and you'll be able to manage your time much better and easily.
You can change dates, times, length of time, etc. and not lose track of something you need to get done. This comes in handy when you're surfing the net – you see a site, don't want to forget it but you haven't got the time to look at it very well. Copy the URL and paste it in your tasks.
Some people don't like setting Tasks like this but if you can get used to it, it's the best way to track your tasks and book them into your calendar efficiently and effectively especially if you have a PDA or a phone which syncs with Outlook.
When should you use the Calendar and when should you use Tasks? Think of tasks as all the things you need to do – everything. It would be impossible to put everything into one big calendar day – you'd run out of hours! Think of the calendar as a place to set appointments, in other words, plan your day, your week, your month or your year.
And using the Tasks list will make you think of the length of time it will take to complete any one thing – often, that's why our time management goes out the window – we don't allocate the appropriate amount of time to each thing we are planning to do.
Are there other pieces of software which can do these and do them better? Yes. However, it's another expense, another learning curve and another way to chew up time you may not have. And another icon to click!
For all of you who still like a piece of paper in your hand, the Tasks can be printed as can your Calendar for the day, the week, the month – so it's the best of all worlds!
Use what you've got – to do the to do list with Tasks in Outlook – it's usually enough for most people!

Following last week's bizarrely dated summary (I misplaced a day) we're back with the correct week-ending date, but I'm ashamed to admit that I've slipped to writing on a Tuesday again. My head hangs in shame and I am filled with the direst remorse.
It will probably happen again though; life's like that.
Anyone would think that the possibility of not even being able to run the Piethon benchmark (let alone getting a pie in the face for running it too slowly) weighs heavily on Dan.
The bulk of the week's traffic related to getting to the point where we can at least run all the tests.
Python::Bytecode, the module that parses, well, python bytecode, shot up in version numbers; I think it reached 2.7 by the end of the week.
Dan released a Piethon translator, a tool that uses Python::Bytecode to translate Python to Parrot. So has Leo. Dan's is on his web site (see the link below); you'll find Leo's in languages/python/pie-thon.pl.
http://firstname.lastname@example.com -- Parrot runs a Python lambda
http://firstname.lastname@example.com -- Notes on pie-thon.pl
http://email@example.com -- Namespaces for built-ins
http://www.sidhe.org/~dan/piethon/translator.pl -- Dan's translator
Semi-Stack Code
In a quest for speed when emulating python's stack manipulation ops, Dan outlined a plan for manipulating a pseudo-stack using some of Parrot's PMC register (18-29, with P31 used for overflow). Leo wasn't convinced it was needed.
string_to_num Precision
Leo's got some problems with the precision of the
string_to_num function found in string.c.
He doctored things to use
but Dan's not so keen on that idea because
atof doesn't have standard behavior across platforms.
He recommended grabbing Perl 5's string_to_num code (which he thought we'd already done).
Nicholas Clark wasn't convinced that this was a good idea; he reckoned that Perl 5's code wasn't good enough.
I think Nicholas convinced Dan that
atof is actually the right thing to use (with a little preprocessing to deal with C99's
atof being incompatible with C89's -- Parrot expects C89 behavior).
GMP Licensing
Armin Obersteiner reported his investigations into the licensing requirements of the GMP maths library. It appears that the FSF's 'GPL Compliance Engineer' reckons we won't need to include the GMP's source code with binary distributions. We just have to make it available from the same source as the distribution. Which is handy.
Parrot Configuration -- A Small Perl Task
Leo asked for volunteers to fix up Configure.pl in order to make it less dependent on the host Perl's configuration. Brent Royal-Gordon provided a teeny-tiny patch that's actually shorter than Leo's description of the problem.
Meanwhile, in perl6-language
Scalar Subscripting
Remember Guatam Gopalakrishnan's question about subscripting scalars?
Discussion continued.
One Piers Cawley (who he?) suggested that it should be possible to specify a
postcircumfix:[] is rw method in the String class to make string subscripting behave in a helpful fashion.
He also suggested pulling this (and other similar behaviors) out into a Sequence trait.
Juerd thought the proposed method name was a little verbose compared to Ruby's syntax for doing the same thing and showed off some rather pretty Ruby metaphors.
Another sub-thread discussed interpolation in strings.
Larry's changed his mind so that
"$file.ext" is now interpreted as
You need to do
"${file}.ext" or
"$( $file ).ext".
Or maybe
"$«file».ext" by analogy with
James Mastros pointed out that
. is rather ambiguous in a literal string; sometimes a full stop is just a full stop.
Pushing Lazy Lists
This thread continues to resemble the lists it is nominally discussing: Infinitely long and possibly endless.
Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials, 2nd Edition
Leo pointed us at an O'Reilly press release announcing that the second edition of Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials is available. Huzzah! Let joy be unconfined.
Rules to Match Abbreviations
Hans Ginzel wondered wondered about adding something to the rules system to easily match specified abbreviations of a string. Luke Palmer came up with a (pretty ugly) solution that he then wrapped very neatly in a rule.
There's a good deal of mileage to be had talking about how to improve the
open function it seems.
Larry continues to come up with new and interesting ways of designing the language in such a way that almost every decision about how to do something can be deferred.
Speaking as someone who wishes he could just write
Application.new.run and then debug his way to working code,
I'm all for this kind of late binding.
It's also amazing how much use Larry's getting out of his colon. (The character, obviously).
Cartesian Products and Iterations
Michele Dondi wondered whether Perl 6 will support Cartesian products between lists.
Short answer: Yes.
It's probably called
Do We Really Need Filehandles?
Dave Whipp thought the unthinkable (but in a good way) and wondered if we actually need user-visible filehandles, given the tools we have for slicing and dicing strings, manipulating lazy data structures, etc. He proposed being able to write:
my $text is TextFile("/tmp/foo.txt");
for $text.lines -> {
Which is rather neat, isn't it? Personally I'm not sure we can get rid of filehandles, but I do like the idea of a library that implements something like this. Alex Shitov pointed out that there would still be a need for methods like
$text.flush() or
Announcements, Apologies, Acknowledgements
OK, so the interview was on Tuesday the 13th of July. It went well; I'm going to be a maths teacher.

Iowa comes up short in NIT final
SLCWatch Salt Lake City, UTApril 5, 2013 7:46 a.m.
Really lousy choice of titles by the editor. Give Baylor their credit. I agree with the big Samoan. BYU and Baylor were evenly matched. This was a blow out.
thebigsamoan Richmond, VAApril 5, 2013 6:34 a.m.
I watched both contests and in my opinion, BYU was the much tougher opponent against Baylor than Iowa. I still believe BYU could've pulled off an upset but they just committed too many t/o and missed too many shots in the final minutes. The game was well within their reach but they just couldn't close the deal.
In the Iowa game, they literally had no chance, and going into the final minutes, Baylor emptied their bench and pulled all their starters out with still about 2 minutes left in the game and over 20 points lead. Iowa was outgunned and outmatched throughout the whole game.
Esquire Springville, UTApril 5, 2013 6:04 a.m.
Instead of focusing on Iowa state "failures" in the article and headline, would it not be better to focus on the success of Baylor?

Teen Suicide Concluding Thoughts
Suicide is a very crucial topic that should taken very seriously when intervening in a teen's life. Teen suicide can be triggered my many things and it is important to be able to recognize the warning signs that can lead to an attempted or successful taking of one's life. Teen's take their own lives for numerous reasons including feeling depressed and hopeless. There are several ways that you can help a teen if you feel that they are at risk at attempting suicide: call the physician, remove any harmful items from the house, and talk to them openly about their problems! Teen suicide is the third leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States. Together, hopefully, we can decrease that statistic and save lives!

Where I live in the Midwest, autumn has kicked in with full gear. The leaves are spiraling down and have turned beautiful, sunset colors- burnt amber and yellow gold. The sweaters and cute boots are out in full swing- so is everything remotely pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon. In my opinion, fall has also always been the season of reflection. Not only does it coincide with the start of the school year, but it is also a step away from the fervor and excitement of the summer heat. Things feel like they are slowing down.
That, however, is not the case with social media campaigns. The past couple weeks have been full of inspiration. Here are some big ones that I've seen:
The "Let Girls Learn" initiative by Michelle Obama started the #62milliongirls campaign on September 26.
From October 5 leading up to October 11, which the United Nations declared International Day of the Girl Child in 2013 as a day to discuss gender inequality, was #dayofthegirl.
This led to sub-hashtags such as #girlpossible and #girlhero (I saw lots of I Am That Girl community participation).
#NationalComingOutDay- October 11 is also National Coming Out Day (internationally observed) to raise civil awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
I also watched this incredibly inspirational, and now viral, video for the first time
So, this is my reflection for the fall- self-improvement isn't a destination, it's a process.
Today, not tomorrow, is the day to make my life a little better and to help improve someone else's life in a tiny way. Today is the day to fully appreciate my education and soak in as much information as I can possibly. Today is the day to be kinder, more empathetic, more forgiving, and more driven than ever before. I want to live richly, to not only smell the roses, but the tea leaves after making my tea and the brisk air as I walk to school in the morning.
I want to be more grateful for the people and opportunities I have in my life. My dreams are not anchors dragging behind me as I shuffle through each day.
Rather, my dreams are the wings on which I will soar and which I will use to uplift those around me. Everyday is a day to be completely, 100% me. Most importantly, I need never sell myself short. I want to look the world straight in the eyes and say, "We are all on the same team. And you know what, sure, we've got lots of problems, but we're going to solve them and keep solving them- together, one step at a time." I want to be, as Gandhi famously said, "The change you wish to see…" not only in the world, but also in myself.
Let's chat!

The Science in Our Food
39 North Innovation District Plan Unveiled
Doug's research is dedicated to understanding the metabolic networks of oilseed plants to enhance biomass composition using experimental and computational methods. These investigations give insight to plant metabolism, important for designing crops to meet future nutritional and chemical feedstock needs.
Welcome to the online resource for supplemental information for the Mockler lab's genome-wide mapping of alternative splicing in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Alternative splicing can enhance transcriptome plasticity and proteome diversity. In plants, alternative splicing can be manifested at different developmental stages, and is frequently associated with specific tissue types or environmental conditions such as abiotic stress. We mapped the Arabidopsis transcriptome at single-base resolution using the Illumina platform for ultrahigh-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Deep transcriptome sequencing confirmed a majority of annotated introns and identified thousands of novel alternatively spliced mRNA isoforms. Our analysis suggests that at least ∼42% of intron-containing genes in Arabidopsis are alternatively spliced; this is significantly higher than previous estimates based on cDNA/expressed sequence tag sequencing. Random validation confirmed that novel splice isoforms empirically predicted by RNA-seq can be detected in vivo. Novel introns detected by RNA-seq were substantially enriched in non-consensus terminal dinucleotide splice signals. Alternative isoforms with premature termination codons (PTCs) comprised the majority of alternatively spliced transcripts.
The data underlying these discoveries is available for download via the link below:

In The Sword of Bedwyr, young Luthien Bedwyr rebelled against the crushing rule of Wizard-King Greensparrow and his cruel wizard-lords. To save his once proud land of Eriador, Luthien was given a magical cape that renders its wearer invisible but leaves behind an indelible scarlet silhouette. In Luthien's Gamble, we see Luthien at a crossroads: in spite of the urgings of his comrades to avoid further conflict with Greensparrow, Luthien feels compelled to continue the battle for his beloved country Eriador.
Realizing that nobody else will take charge, and with the support of both dwarves and elves, Luthien and his followers stage guerilla raids on town after town. Luthien and his forces defeat scores of enemies and win huge numbers of allies. In the end, King Greensparrow sues for peace. Yet Luthien and Brind'Amour recognize that even in this time of celebration, Greensparrow cannot be trusted, and that the rumblings of a larger battle - for the freedom of the known world - loom in the not-too-distant future.

Entertaining story, exceptional narrator
Many of the characters are rather flat, but the "highway halfling" is a most enjoyable element of the story, offering comic relief to the constant battling. However I am positive that I wouldn't have been nearly so entertained by the character on the pages of a book rather than listening to the narrator's version of him.
The narrator does an exceptional job of altering voice, cadence, accent and inflection to give voice to many characters. I have never listened to another story where I could so easily pick out which character was speaking based solely on the narration. He definitely gave life to a less than stellar plot. I'm very impressed and will be looking for more books he has narrated.

Holland can't bail out admirable Feldman
Holland can't bail out Feldman
For the second time in three big league appearances, Holland was called on in relief to pitch with the bases loaded, this time to face as burly a slugger as they come, White Sox designated hitter Jim Thome, with two outs in the top of the sixth inning and the Rangers nursing a 3-0 lead.
Rangers starter Scott Feldman, who had retired 17 of the first 18 he faced, had only thrown 77 pitches in his second start in place of Kris Benson. Feldman had struck out Thome in the fourth. Feldman was showing no signs of fatigue, giving up a couple of weak hits and walking Carlos Quentin after being too careful with him with first base open and Thome on deck.
But for the Rangers, the sixth inning was going to come down to Holland and Thome. Rangers manager Ron Washington said so several times in his postgame press conference, concerned that Feldman was going through the Chicago lineup for the third time, with all three White Sox reaching so far.
"I respect Thome," Washington said. "I thought Holland could get him. It didn't happen."
Holland was just off on his location, leaving a fastball up for Thome, who drilled it off the left-center-field fence, missing a home run by a few feet. Thome's ringing double cleared the bases, tying the game at 3.
The White Sox wound up beating Holland in the top of the seventh, scoring again with two outs. Scott Podsednik had an infield single. Holland picked Podsednik off, but the inning stayed alive when Holland was called for a balk. Leadoff hitter Chris Getz then tripled to center field for a 4-3 lead.
It spoiled a strong start by Feldman, who gave up three two-out hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"I let him down," Holland said.
The Rangers produced their runs in the early innings. Ian Kinsler had a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first, the seventh leadoff homer of his career, one shy of the team record.
The Rangers made it 3-0 in the third as Kinsler had a sacrifice fly and Andruw Jones a run-scoring double.
Meanwhile, Feldman retired the first 11 men he faced before Quentin dumped in a single in front of diving center fielder Marlon Byrd.
Feldman bounced back to get the next six White Sox batters, including the first two outs in the top of the sixth before Getz and Fields nicked him for singles. Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux visited the mound, but only to talk about how to approach Quentin.
Feldman didn't pitch to Quentin like it was the last batter he would face. He admitted to being too careful with first base open, working the count full before missing badly on a two-seam fastball to load the bases.
"I wasn't going to let him beat me," Feldman said. "It was a full count. I would have liked to have thrown a strike there."
Holland was told to crank it up in the bullpen with Fields up, meaning he needed to get ready to face Thome. Holland admitted to being a little nervous as he came onto the field, knowing Thome was waiting.
"I grew up watching him play," Holland said.
Holland actually blew a fastball by Thome on the first pitch. At that point the nerves were gone. He tried another fastball. Thome ripped it in typical Thome fashion, a line drive to left-center.
"Down, that's were I wanted it," Holland said. "I left it up a little bit. He beat me."
In the postgame aftermath, both pitchers talked about being ready for more.
"I didn't want to come out," Feldman said. "I have a lot of faith in Holland and the bullpen. Maybe next time I'll get a chance against Thome."
For Holland, he might have gone down by knockout to Thome, but he said this baptism under fire is the only way to go now that he's in the big leagues.
"I'm glad they do [trust me]," Holland said. "I appreciate the confidence that they have in me."

* Prices may differ from that shown
I've used this keyboard for about a year now and on the whole, it's been very good. The keys have a slightly different feel to some keyboards as the keys are much lighter. They also make a slightly softer click when you push them. Personally, I much prefer this but I know some people prefer their buttons to make a more audible click, so it may not be for everyone.
On to the design. The layout of the keys on this particular keyboard is as you would expect, similar to on a laptop, some of the keys double up to perform another function when the 'function' key is held down. I like this and it works well for the most part but does take some getting used to.
The media keys and some shortcut keys are positioned across the top of the keyboard and are excellent. All these keys are programmable and there are enough keys to fill most basic computer shortcuts, such as email, Internet, music player, word, excel etc... The dedicated media buttons work well with most video and music applications and can perform basic functions. However they don't work with all websites.
The best part about this keyboard by far is the volume wheel. If you're coming from a keyboard without one, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. I can only liken it to a scroll wheel on a mouse. If it suddenly wasn't there you'd become very frustrated. I constantly use this to change volume when I'm playing games or listening to music in the background and it really is a great feature.
If you don't mind the slightly different feel to the keys and are looking for something with dedicated media controls, this is a fantastic option. Cheap too!
I bought this keyboard for around £10 two months ago for my girlfriend's PC. It is all black, with media buttons on the top, and very smooth and good looking. The keys are silent when you press them which is great for typing reviews when my girlfriend is asleep (complaint limitation!), and there's a certain 'solid' feel to it - somehow you just know that this keyboard is going to last you a long time. I like the black colour because any dust on it is visible which motivates you to clean or vacuum it every so often.
The various useful buttons at the top allows for ease of access to functions such as the calculator, quick switching of songs during gaming/browsing/typing sessions so you don't have to open up the music player window, and comes with software to bind your own keys to your preference.
The Logitech Media Keyboard 600 is a great keyboard for the money you pay. The buttons are responsive and the keyboard feels solid and sturdy and feels comfortable during extended sessions of typing. The keys are quiet and, and the extra multimedia functionality makes life just that little bit easier if you're a multi-tasker like myself who enjoys listening to music when typing or playing games.
I dislike my keyboard for my laptop because I just always seem to use my arm on other keys and some of the letters never get pressed on time and it leads me wanting a new keyboard.
A few days ago whilst on a website for a leading electronics store they had this logitech media keyboard 600 which was originally £15 down to £4.99 and I reserved the product and picked it up.
The first thing is that Logitech is a big brand in terms of computer items whether a keyboard or a mouse they offer a great range of items and I have never had an issue with them or there products before.
The keyboard is a nice piano style black which looks trendy and very modern and it is so light in weight I was astonished by how thin it was.
The keyboard is 30x53x11 cm and there is a nice glossy finish which just makes it look nice and cool to look at.
There is plenty to look at and wonder what the buttons do and the first part of this would be the original keyboard buttons we all know and see and these are soft touch keys so when you tap them down they are so light and they are easy to touch so it means you can type quicker and less sound vibrating as well.
There is a media section at the top the grey round button is actually not a button but a volume control and you spin it one direction and the volume will go up and the opposite direction the volume decreases. The buttons at the top can control the internet pages and media settings.
You can pause live videos online and the other buttons you might want to see the manual for which is included inside the pack.
You are given a disc to load onto the computer which installs the drivers to make this product work but this is completely not needed as the item is a plug and play so the USB connection at the end is inserted into the computer or laptop and it begins to work instantly so the disc is there just incase.
This is a wired keyboard and not wireless as some people think it might be so I need to stress that point and the keyboard is done in an external form (not sure what this means). They say you need to have Windows Vista or Windows XP for this to work but I have Windows 7 and it works fine on there.
I like how easy the buttons are to touch, how easy the setup was and how thin and lightweight the item is. I think because the keyboard looks stylish it made me want it and the fantastic price as well which is just amazing.
I think there is a 3 year warranty included there was with mine and you can even press one button and have your favourite applications pop up on screen as well. It is a great keyboard by a great brand name and a good price but be warned this can be found for more then £15 in some locations.
We have a few home computers in our house and one of the names we trust is the Logitech brand. Great for webcams and keyboards and even mouse mats, their range has gotten more extensive over the last few years as they have slowly built up a successful technical empire.
This is a keyboard that we have in the lounge to run with the Sky Internet system. We wanted something cheap, lightweight and easy on the eye. This keyboard ticked many boxes. The price came in at under twenty pounds when we got it, which is very good value I think for a keyboard. It weight about the same as three or four CDs, so it easy to move around and you can rest in on the floor or a table with little hassle.
The surface is shiny and smooth and the keys are silent to the touch. This makes it lovely for secret nighttime typing when you don't want to wake people up! The keys are well spaced out and the layout allows precision precision typing. There are several assigned hotkeys as well which come in handy for speedy access; just use the F keys to select desired menus.
There are some downsides, the cable is not quite long enough to stretch as far as I would like. It gives me about a metre or so before it stops. This is something I find annoying, as I like to sit away from the screen and type from a distance sometimes. The keyboard also attracts a lot of dust and due to the shiny surface, shows all flecks of dust in bright lights. You can obviously wipe this off, but it seems to have a certain level of static that draws dust to it.
The extras like the onscreen calculator option have assisted me in last of the moment sums and provide a neat add on. This is not the plushest keyboard, but the shape, feel and layout is good and it has lasted us two years to date so I give it a thumbs up.
