Niira Radia: Hi
N.K. Singh: Hi Niira
Niira Radia: I just wanted to tell you that I still think HT is a little compromised.
Niira Radia: We met up with both the editors – Sanjoy Narayan [of HT] and Subu Kumar. Subu Kumar is okay of Mint.
Niira Radia: But Sanjoy Narayan yesterday... Manoj was in town. If you know Manoj Modi was here.
Niira Radia And the sense I got from the conversations - and that I see the type of stories they are still carrying...
Niira Radia: You know they are still carrying that "Govt is not a respondent" in this matter when the Govt is clearly a respondent.
Niira Radia: Because the other side has circulated, a part of our SLP by crossing out the "govt is a respondent" part by inking it with white ink...
N.K. Singh: Ah, oh
Niira Radia: ... and showing it only as an "intervener".
N.K. Singh: Uh, hun
Niira Radia: ... And of course the only paper that believes it is Hindustan Times at the end of the day
N.K. Singh: I saw that piece. And of course it's slightly mixed up with the fact of Anil yesterday having met all these guys.
N.K. Singh: So I think it's not very clear. I mean that story has been masked as if to say that this is
N.K. Singh: a) A fact on the court thing and b) Mixed up with Anil's meeting with these guys.
Niira Radia: Correct.
Niira Radia: But the thing that... what they tried to do was to tell everyone. And they called everyone that govt is not an intervener, sorry, not a respondent and...
N.K. Singh: Correct No what I mean is whether govt is an intervener or not, I mean the only person who is to decide this is...
N.K. Singh: a) The govt and b) The court.
Niira Radia: Correct
N.K. Singh: And if the court decides that I'm not entertaining you as an intervener.... that's the end of the story but it the court sort of pleads the govt as an intervener, so be it.
N.K. Singh: These are not matters: a) whether government wants to be an intervenor or not is it the governmentt's choice.
N.K. Singh: Second, whether it is entertained or not is the courts decision. Right?
Niira Radia: Yeah but point I am making is that everybody else took no notice of it, but except the Hindustan Times.
N.K. Singh: Achaa I'm meeting Shobhna in an hour's time and I'm going to speak to her about this
Niira Radia: Yeah, we were on this discussion yesterday with Manoj Modi, we met up Sanjoy and we took them through everything. We are hoping that they have understood everything but I thought the body language was a bit...
Niira Radia:... you know still... you can see that they are a bit... and when we asked what do you think we should have done? Manoj said that to them, and their reaction was that the two brothers should merge again.
N.K. Singh: Their two brothers...?
Niira Radia: Should merge (Laughs)
N.K. Singh: Oh not bad yaar...
N.K. Singh: Real good actually. Very good philanthropic advice
N.K. Singh: No right now I'm in another fire fighting. Because I have slightly shut my mind from this.
N.K. Singh: Because I'm in the immediate issue of what is going to happen to Pranab Mukherjee's announcement on the tax benefit to them on the gas.
N.K. Singh: Given that he has withdrawn it, in a way, because he has made it applicable only for only for NELP-VIII. Right.
N.K. Singh: So, this is revenue secretary doing some degree of championship there.
Niira Radia: Right
N.K. Singh: So working out a strategy. How to get this back? One of the complications is that, between you and me, Mr Arun Shourie has gone and got himself completely on the other side.
Niira Radia: Yes
N.K. Singh: Because he has been promised a Rajya Sabha by Tony and co. and I yesterday checked, yes, Samajwadi has 50% surplus votes in UP which combined with surplus votes of BJP can give the BJP an extra ticket and why should therefore BJP deny itself from getting an additional Rajya Sabha on someone else's strength?
N.K. Singh: But that's the promise given and therefore he was very, very, very critical of this whole gas thing and said in the BJP parliamentary board meeting, day before yesterday. Now whatever he said in that meeting, day before yesterday, is one aspect.
N.K. Singh: But what attitude BJP will take on this whole issue of the debate on the finance bill, which is beginning from Monday, in both houses of Parliament is of vital importance.
N.K. Singh: Because if a large number of opposition MPs and Samajwadi will definitely join in begin to say that Pranab Mukerjee has given a bad largesse... it will benefit only one company
N.K. Singh: ...then a) Pranab Mukherjee is in the defensive and therefore the question of extending it to... huh... retrospectively goes out of the window. So this whole managing that stuff in a way and also I think, you know, Arun is speaking, Shourie is speaking as a listed speaker in the Rajya Sabha for the BJP. But fortunately what we have managed to do is make him the second speaker but made Venkaiah the first. So I don't know what is Mukesh's relations with Venkaiah.
Niira Radia: Prasad had good relations with him.
N.K. Singh: Pardon?
Niira Radia: I thought PMS Prasad had good relationship with Venkaiah.
N.K. Singh: He has?
Niira Radia: I thought so
N.K. Singh: Then I'm going to get him flown today to talk to Venkaiah because if he is the first speaker then he already takes a party line then it'll be very difficult for Shourie in his second intervention to take a different line
Niira Radia: Hmm...
N.K. Singh: Then we have to orchestrate who will speak. This is an immediate problem right now. Because frankly if this tax thing doesn't go through then that's a major initiative taking which then fails to materialize
N.K. Singh: ...because he has, Anil has also organized this: a) He tried to controversialise it b) He got the department to make it prospective and not retrospective.
N.K. Singh: Whereas, really, all the roadshows that were done on the national exploration policy was on the explicit condition and understanding of a seven years tax break.
N.K. Singh: So overlooking all the understanding and ignoring everything and spreading disinformation that seems to have gathered momentum in the last 64 hours. That's their hottest issue right now.
N.K. Singh: Where we attack this and I take note of what you tell me about HT. Huh?
Niira Radia: No, no problem...
Niira Radia: I knew that was an issue 'cause all these queries were coming in. It was pretty bad in terms of... They kept on saying that were going to earn 81,000 crores of benefit out of that you know and that he could have given it to us retrospectively and all that. That's the sort of queries that they've put out in the media.
N.K. Singh: Yeah that's right.
Niira Radia: We killed most of that. None of that has appeared. So just checking whether...
N.K. Singh: No, I don't want this to come up in features in Parliament. Because that's the most immediate thing that influences government mind. Because those guys, Like PM and FM are sitting there and several MPs beginning to talk all this.
N.K. Singh: That influences them in a very immediate sense of the term. Not everybody may read what's written in so many papers and journals. Whatever is spoken there, is directly to be heard by these guys.
Niira Radia: Correct. Correct. And the FM's view you on this?
N.K. Singh: I think having done what he did, he is now unable to undo the damage which has been given the interpretation. So the request made by the petroleum ministry for them to reconsider has been routinely turned down twice by the revenue secretary.
N.K. Singh: You see?
N.K. Singh: So in effect, if that happens, and the revenue secretary as... we will benefit out of this. Because then it becomes completely from the eighth round, and that means that we're not there.
Niira Radia: Hmm.
N.K. Singh: Whereas all roadshows that were done, this was one of the conditions on which the investment came in.
Niira Radia: Correct
N.K. Singh: Somebody will have to point out that this was an assurance given in promoting the investment basket and this opportunity you cannot retrospectively curtail an opportunity.
N.K. Singh: Instead of giving a largesse, this is only sticking to a commitment given earlier. This is the point of view which has to...

Rajgad (literally meaning Royal Fort) is one of the forts in the Pune district of Maharashtra state in India. The fort is around 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level. Formerly known as Murumdev, it was capital of the Maratha Empire during the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for almost 26 years, after which he moved the capital to Raigad Fort. Treasure found at an adjacent fort was used to fortify this hill. The diameter of the fort at the base is 40 km (25 mi) making it difficult for anybody to lay siege to it, adding to its strategic value.The fort is located 60 km (37 mi) to the South West of Pune, about 15 km (9.3 mi) West of Nasrapur, in the Sahyadris range. The highest part of the fort has remains of palaces, water cisterns and caves. The main entrance door is known as the Mahadarwaja. This fort is built on the hill called Murumbadevi Dongar (Mountain of the Goddess Murumba). Rajgad boasts of the highest number of days stayed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on any fort.
The fort has witnessed lots of historic events, including the birth of Shivaji's son Rajaram, the death of Shivaji's Queen Saibai, the return of Shivaji from Agra, the burial of Afzal Khan's head in the Mahadarwaja walls of Balle Killa, the strict words of Sonopant Dabir to Shivaji, and the Khandoji Khopade event.This fort was also one of the 17 forts that Shivaji kept when he signed the Treaty of Purandar (1665) with the Rajput king Jai Singh in 1665 who was leading the Mughal forces. 23 other forts were handed over to the Mughals under this treaty.
RoutesOne can climb the fort from numerous route from villages at the base of Rajgad, 1)starting from Gunjavne (Gunjavne Darwaja or Chor Darwaja both on Padmavati Machee, and a tough route to Chor Darwaja near Nedhe on Suvela Machi). Pali Darwaja is historically the main and easier route. 2) The route for Pali Darwaja is from Wajeghar-Pali. 3) From Chirmudi village (Chor Darwaja on Padmavati Machee), the route meets corresponding route from Gunjavne); 4) From village Bhutunde (Alu Darwaja on Sanjeevani Machee via Dhanghar Vada); 5) From Male (Chor Darwaja on Kaleshwari Buruj, Suvela Machee). 6) From route coming from Budhla Machee of Torna comes through a connecting ridge to Alu Darwaja on Sanjeevani Machi.

Marriage Records – Great Resource When Conducting A BirthMother Search
Accessing marriage records can be very helpful when conducting a birthmother search. In most instances, you are trying to develop your birthmother's married name.
(Of course, searching marriage records can help anyone who is searching and working with only a maiden name.)
Marriage records may contain:
- Maiden and married name of birth mother
- Dates of birth of birthmother and groom
- Date of marriage
- Place of marriage
- Birth places of birthmother and groom
- Addresses of birthmother and groom
- Parents of birthmother
- Employment information
- Religious affiliations
- Previous marriages
- Divorce information
- Relatives of birthmother and groom
- Social Security Numbers (sometimes)
- Witness names
Please note: Information obtained from marriage records will vary greatly from state to state (e.g., one state may have employment information listed on a marriage record and another state may not).
Unfortunately, there is no available way to search marriage records nationwide. So, you will need to have an idea where your birthmother was married in order to have a chance at accessing her records. One way to determine where your birthmother was married is to obtain your non-identifying information. Non-identifying information is background information on your birthmother and possibly your birthfather. This non-id will likely provide some geographical history. Please read our post on how to obtain non-identifying information.
Another way to determine if and where your birthmother was married is to question your adoptive family members and see what information they can provide about her. Please read our post on how to obtain background information on your birthmother by interviewing your adoptive family members.
If you only know where you were born or where your birthmother was from, your search for marriage records should begin in those areas. If you have no luck, spread your search outward.
Typically, the county clerk's office is the source to contact for marriage records. There will likely be an index that you can search–perhaps a bride and groom index. Searching these indexes can be time consuming and the records are in all types of formats. You can get specific search instructions by contacting the county clerk's office. Please read our post on contacting the count clerk's office.
If you cannot determine where your birthmother's marriage records are via a county search, there are also many state indexes to marriages. These indexes are abstracts of the full marriage records kept by the counties.
State marriage indexes–typically created and maintained by their respective state health departments–are sometimes available online. You can see if a particular state has an online marriage record index by visiting the state web site. The typical url format for a state website is: www. state. xx. us (where xx is the state abbreviation). (This isn't always the case, so you might have to google around a bit to find your state website of choice.
Many state marriage record indexes are now available via proprietary database vendors. The geographic availability and years of availability of these indexes vary greatly. OmniTrace pays fees to access these indexes. Here is a list of states we can currently search:
Alabama – Alaska – California – Colorado – Connecticut – Florida – Georgia – Idaho – Illinois – Indiana – Iowa – Kentucky – Maine – Minnesota – Missouri – Nevada – North Carolina – Ohio – Oklahoma – Rhode Island – South Dakota – Tennessee – Texas – Utah – Vermont – Virginia – West Virginia – Wisconsin
If you need help accessing a state birth index, please leave a comment below, e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call us toll free at: 1-888-965-6696. And, please contact us if you have any questions about this post.

Dawnings is a small craft company that specializes in creating beauty out of broken or discarded things – recycling, upcycling and repurposing things that catch our imagination into jewellery!
(see other featured crafters here – https://workfromhomemembership.com/courses-and-freebies/crafting-courses/featuredcrafters/)
About The Artist
I am a British ex pat living in Canada where the winters are long!
And after a lifetime of admiring the work of others I decided to take a few silver smithing courses, and voila, those winters were suddenly not long enough!
The Inspiration & Materials
I have whole-heartedly embraced the up cycling, recycling, and repurposing aspect of jewelry creation. I love looking at things and seeing 'what could be' – from a piece of scrap leather, to a computers discarded heat sink made of copper, plumbing parts, copper pipe, broken jewelry. Taking them apart, and putting them back together in interesting ways makes for a lot of fun!
The amount of waste we generate in the world is awful and if we can find ways to prevent even just a little from the landfills why not turn these broken or discarded items into something beautiful. I spend my days at a desk at a large computer company; to be able to step outside that and create something totally different is a great way to change gears.
In line with this green approach I keep my packaging to a minimal, each piece comes in a small chiffon bag that can be reused. Every little helps!
The challenge of this approach also means the collection is constantly changing – driven by what I can find. My materials come from all over -donations from friends, broken pieces that would be discarded, charity shops, flea markets, found objects. You never know what treasures can be found and repurposed. I melt down the pieces that cannot be salvaged, and recycle whatever parts can be rescued, even if it's just a few beads or the clasps. I have family and friends on constant watch for treasures all over the world! However I always buy earring findings new. I try to focus on sterling silver, semi precious stones, and vintage pieces but hey, I end up where the muse takes me!
I keep a little book with me at all times, and sketch out my ideas or they would itch in my brain all day till I can make them reality! I have a workshop set up in my basement, for soldering, melting down silver etc., but spend a lot of time on my dining table putting the final collections together.
Dawning Custom Design
Dawnings Custom Design started one weekend when I looked about and saw I had at least 100 pieces of jewelry – necklaces, earrings, bracelets – and more in the works! A friend was over and she bought a few pieces and I thought – Etsy! And so my little company was born. I sell on Etsy and am branching out to local high-end craft fairs this year.

Arab representatives put their demands to Rouhani, including 10 per cent of seats in the cabinet reserved for Arabs. They applauded Rouhani when he appeared to agree and criticised the Ahmadinejad administration for its policies. A key part of Rouhani's platform is a promise to introduce a civil rights charter for the country. One Arab leader told Rouhani: "I can tell you confidently that you are ahead of even Khatami with your speech today. I was a supporter of Khatami 100%, but now I am 1000% a supporter of Hassan Rouhani!"
Nasser Bani Assad, spokesman for the British Ahwazi Friendship Society, said: "Presidential elections have frequently seen candidates of all regime factions appeal to ethnic votes, indicating the strength of importance of ethnic political identity in Iran.
"Both reformist and conservative candidates have played on Ahwazi Arab concerns and agreed to fulfill their demands. But when in power, they always betray their promises and sustain the campaign of ethnic cleansing, further fuelling the cycle of ethnic unrest and violent repression.
"Until Ahwazi Arabs are allowed to form their own parties and compete in free and fair elections, this cycle will continue and Al-Ahwaz will become a crucible for anti-regime civil unrest. As Al-Ahwaz contains the main source of the regime's oil wealth that sustains its machinery of terror, the Ahwazi Arabs hold the key to regime change in Iran."

ISO Pro nano
The ISO Pro nano glovebox with integrated blower is designed for operator protection while working with nanoparticles. It is operated in relative negative pressure to the environment (-200 Pa). The operator safety is guaranteed by the high leak tightness of < 1 vol%/h and the automatic (under) pressure control. In case of a leak (e.g. the breakdown of a glove) the blower generates a permanent inward gas flow with a velocity > 0.5 m/s to prevent the diffusion of box atmosphere into the surroundings.
As an alternative, the glovebox can be built with a leak rate of 0.05 vol%/h according ISO 10648-2, and coupled to a gas purifier unit to work under inert atmosphere (O2 and H2O < 1 ppm).
- Operator protection while working with nanoparticles
- Glovebox operating in underpressure mode (-200 Pa)
- A blower generates automatically an airflow (>0.5 m/s) in case of leak
- Gas inlet and outlet with Hepa-Filter
- Analogue pressure indication (Magnehelic)
- Stand with leveling feet and castors for easy mobility

How excited would you be after winning millions on a California Lottery Scratchers®? Geovany Wave knows, because it happened to him. The 31-year-old from Los Angeles scored $2 million playing the $20 game, Crossword Deluxe. That was the start of his exciting journey
Wave was still in the store when he found out he won. After scanning his ticket on a Lottery Check-A-Ticket machine, he showed it to the owner of the store and she confirmed the win. Wave had gone into the store during his lunch break as an average working guy and would be leaving as California's newest multimillionaire!
"I was going crazy. My heart started pounding," Wave said about that thrilling moment of discovery. "Then people around me were like, 'Let me touch you so you can give ME luck!'" He couldn't stay long since he had other places to go
"I went back to work and I told my boss, 'I think I won $2 million. Can I leave right now?'" Wave doesn't want anyone to misunderstand. He told us he was not quitting his job as a facilities manager – he likes it too much. He was simply anxious to file a claim and get that valuable ticket safely out of his hands. So, he said this to reassure his employer. "I'm still gonna work here. I just got to go before they close the [Lottery] office. Traffic is horrible."
Now, the real test. How could he drive on a busy road with so many thoughts racing through his head? "I had to calm myself down, you drive fast when you're excited," Wave said. "I wanted to be careful." Plus, he was still desperate to reassure himself. "I stopped at a couple of stores along the way just to check my ticket. I didn't think it was true."

maci smart journal
Isolated chondral or osteochondral lesions of the knee are regularly found in a population undergoing knee arthroscopy [1,2]. Origins include traumatic injuries, abnormal joint loading, and osteochondritis dissecans among others. Cartilage lesions are often found in association with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, dislocations of the patella, limb malalignment, patellar maltracking and following significant meniscectomy [2-5]. Determining the ideal treatment of these lesions is problematic because it is often difficult to determine whether the patient's symptoms are caused by the cartilage lesion or by an associated pathology. It has been shown that even in isolation, these lesions may lead to significant pain and disability [6]. Damaged articular cartilage has limited or no healing capacity due its relative metabolic inactivity and lack of blood supply that permits only a limited response to injury [7,8].
These lesions may progress to generalized osteoarthritis over time [9]. Repairing isolated full-thickness cartilaginous defects has been therefore proposed to treat symptoms and prevent the development of osteoarthritis. Successful early treatment of these lesions would be of great benefit to patients as well as the health care system, as long-term morbidity and consequent high use of health service resources could be avoided [10]. Imaging studies facilitate the diagnosis of isolated cartilage lesions. MRI has been established as the diagnostic gold standard and should be considered when a chondral injury is suspected [11,12]. Many treatment options have been developed during the last decades to repair damaged articular cartilage [13].
The techniques can be grouped as bone marrow stimulation techniques such as drilling [14], abrasion [15], microfracture [16] and autologous matrix induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) [17]; direct chondral replacement techniques such as mosaicplasty [18], fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation [19], and periosteal transplantation [20]; and culture-based techniques such as Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) [21] and Matrix-induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI) [22].
Each of these procedures can be performed in association with new techniques, materials, or growth factors, leading to the description of a huge number of treatment options that have been used in experimental and clinical settings [23]. This review will provide an overview on the historical development of cartilage repair. The main focus will be on the MACI technique and its variants and the clinical evidence for its use

On account of a personal project, I'm looking for a new tool to manage a site whose main focus is written content. The tool must be able to manage this content effortlessly while also being sufficiently extensible to allow forms of interaction between the users of the site.
While searching the Web, I came across a most useful site called OpenSourceCMS where anyone can try out dozens of tools related to content management without needing to install or configure anything. It's just a question of following a link to get access to a fully functional installation of the tools, which also includes administrative access. It's a very nice site, indeed.
One of the most interesting tools I found in the site is Typo3, a fully featured CMS with excellent extensibility and a wealth of configuration options that make it a good choice for many kinds of sites. I intend to test it as soon as possible since it seems quite adequate for what I have in mind. The tool looked so interesting that I will consider it for managing this blog as well, if it proves itself satisfactory to my needs. I have been planning to replace MovableType for a long time, as it's not powerful or flexible enough to do what I want to do in the site. Maybe Typo3 will be the right option.
The OpenSourceCMS site, with all of its options, also convinced me, as far as I can see, that I don't need to write my own tool since there are plenty of good tools out there that are more than sufficient for my needs. No need to reinvent the wheel when those needs are not that unusual.

The UK's professional body for HR and people development has called for a ban on exclusivity clauses in zero hours contracts unless businesses can show "compelling and justifiable" reasons for their use.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) issued the comments in response to the Queen's Speech on Wednesday. Plans to counter abuses of zero hours contracts, as outlined in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill, were "welcomed" by the CIPD – but more should be done to protect workers, they say.
Under zero hours contracts, employees are contracted to work when needed but are not guaranteed a minimum amount of work or pay. The contracts have been widely criticised for the lack of security and benefits that they offer. Whilst popular with seasonal and casual workers, they pose a worry for those who depend on these jobs to survive – especially when employers can cancel work at the last minute, or send workers home without pay during quiet times.
To level the playing field, the CIPD has advocated for the introduction of a code of practice that determines how and when zero hours contracts can be issued. The group feels that workers on long term contracts should be entitled to some assurances, such as the ability to request a minimum number of hours per week after their first year. It also argues that exclusivity clauses, whereby employers ban staff from signing up for work with other companies, are rarely defensible.
"Nearly half of zero hours workers have had work cancelled on them with no notice, while a quarter say they are never or only sometimes allowed to work for another employer when their primary employer has no work available for them." said Ben Willmott, Head of Public Policy at the CIPD.
"CIPD research into zero hours workers shows that while, overall, zero hours workers enjoy similar levels of job satisfaction to other workers and report better work-life balance and less stress, there are significant areas of bad practice which should be addressed."

But, I digress. What today REALLY means is that we turn our thoughts to the New Year (seriously, does it need to be capitalized? I can understand the holiday, New Year's Eve, but...y'know what? This is my blog, I'm not capitalizing it...so, nyah)...new year, and all that it represents.
So, today, as we enjoyed a surprise lunch at our favorite local dive, I made a suggestion to Dave. While writing down one's resolutions is all fine and good (and highly recommended if you intend to, in fact, KEEP said resolution), I had come up with a way to invest ourselves into the resolutions while hopefully ingraining them into our psyches more and actually making our selections matter. I suggested a collage.
Okay, okay. Collages may seem like art projects that we were assigned when the art teacher no longer had any viable lesson options and an over-abundance of magazines cluttering their art room. But, I'm a huge fan of collages. Collage art can be freakin' awesome, and the concept of combining seemingly irrelevant images to represent a whole concept - simply put, cool.
I'm also aware that, while Dave and I have a good mind of what each other is resolving for 2011 (it's gonna be a big year...*gulp* I hope), we're holding our cards pretty close to our chests, in general. And, as I said, making them even 2-D, either by writing them down or, heck, creating a crazy collage (or even a simple one) is one step closer to making them breathe and obtain true life.
The unique thing about making a collage is that YOU know what you mean to represent by your choices in it, but perhaps not everyone would "get it." This way, we can include whatever we want, regardless of any judgment people would place on it - because it's hard to judge someone's resolution when it's unworded art. Eh? See? Clever. Ish.
The other reason that I came up with a collage is that if it comes out to be a neat art piece, there we go! I'd like to add more art to our walls, but making sure that it's art that means something to us. We have a cluster of pictures with mismatched frames adorning the wall leading up our stairway that brings back memories every time we walk by it. It'd be nice to have something to look at that not only reminds us of our 2011 goals, but that we created together. The collage would also act as a bit of a nag -- "Hey. How's that 'getting out to walk more' going for you? I thought so. Get off your hiney."
We hope your new year is all the good things and none of the sucky things that made 2010 what it was. Was it kind of a crappy year for anyone else? We're happy about, y'know, getting married, acquiring 2 cats, etc, but c'mon. Kinda. Not. Great. Otherwise. Hate to complain, but feel free to use the comment section to vent -- or to share any 2011 resolutions!
UPDATE: The posting of these collages onto the world wide web-o-sphere is officially over one year LATE! Strangely enough, I had them down around the first of January, 2011. Cross my heart! And they've been hanging up in our office to provide inspiration, motivation...and a bit of silly art. Without even FURTHER delay, I give you...our mad late collages.
This is what it looks like today. Well. On a clean day. (One hundred points if you spot my hairdryer and rarely-used curling iron.)
A close-up or two of the things that inspire us. Like hope, and contemplating how to make a better world.
...and the idea that "There is nothing like a dream to create the future." And fresh veggies. And improving our surroundings, be them environmental or, literally, the house.
It may be hard to say, but that actually says "My Book" on there. Take a guess which of us has that for a life goal. Oh, and of course growing a better garden (and lawn), knowing from whence our salad dressing comes, using eco-products...and finding happiness. All pretty awesome things, I think.
Worth the wait, I think.
Worth the wait, I think.

Storms Possible Monday, Otherwise Nice Week Ahead
After a hot, sticky and in some places wet weekend, a summer blast of arctic air results in a very nice, and perhaps record-setting, week in northeast Missouri and western Illinois.
The National Weather Service calls for a chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening. Severe storms are not expected, although small hail and winds up to 45 miles per hour are a possibility.
After the rain chance moves out Monday night, a weather pattern uncharacteristic for mid-July moves in.
Highs are not expected to get out of the 70s until Saturday, with lows in the low 50s Monday and Tuesday, and the mid 50s to around 60 through Friday.
Incidentally, record lows for this week in Hannibal are in the 60s and 70s.
The next chance of showers and thunderstorms is forecast for Saturday night and Sunday.

The Northwest's Original Plus-Size Clothing Event
Where Fashion meets the Savvy Curvy Shopper
We are a Special Consignment Sales Event that is held twice a year for sizes 14/XL-34.
Do you have gently used clothing that you never wear - too big, too small, never found the right top or the right pair of shoes? We can help you make some extra cash.
Come to our sale and buy name brand clothing for less.
Merchandise Instructions
Bring your clothing on hangers. You may not receive back your original hangers. Clothes should be hung with the hanger hook facing the left as you look at it (like a question mark?). Attach two-piece outfits together by hanging each item and attaching the two hangers. (Make a note on the tag that it is a 2-piece set). Please use pant hangers or attach pants using binder clips. Do not fold the pants over the hanger; this takes too much room, they fall off, and most shoppers will not take the time to look at them.
For clothing, attach your tags with a tagging gun or safety pin to the back label or back top inside CENTER seam to avoid damaging your garments. All clothing dresses, tops, pants, jackets should ALWAYS be tagged in the back center inner seam or garment tag. Pinning through the garment causes holes and damages the garment.
Jewelry should be placed in small ziploc bags (Tape or Staple the bag closed) and the tags taped to the front of the bag. Shoes can be either tied together or rubberbanded together with the tags on the bottom of the shoes.
Please prepare all of your tags according to these instructions. This makes it easy for shoppers and easy for us to ensure you get credit for all of your sales.
Please print on white cardstock. Card stock is available at office supply stores, or buy it by the sheet at FedEx Kinkos. The tags will print 10 to a page. Please do not use sparkly, colored paper, recycled paper, or anything with printing on both sides for the tags. These make it very difficult for our Point of Sale software to read the tags.
When printing your tags using the computerized tagging system, print using "Normal" or "Draft" quality. (Avoid "best" quality because the barcode tends to bleed).
If you are not using a Tagging Gun
DO NOT HOLE PUNCH THROUGH THE SOLID BLACK DOT ON THE TAG (if you are donating your items your tags will have a solid black dot on the left side of the tag). Or you may use a safety pin to attach the tag to the garment tag or though the back on the inside CENTER seam of the top or pants. We also have tagging guns for sale. Click here to go to the order a tagging gun page.
Printing your tags
You may print your tags in batches as you go, or all at once. The system saves your information automatically.From our website, click here. This will get you to the page where upcoming sales are listed. Click on the sale for which you are creating tags. Then scroll down to Login - enter your user name & password. Go to Print Tags.

The Kings replaced the stolen Wayne Gretzky jersey of a San Bernardino shooting survivor.
The Los Angeles Kings replaced the Wayne Gretzky jersey that was stolen from a survivor of the Dec. 2 shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., which left 14 dead and 21 injured.
Natassa Torralbo, who works at the Inland Regional Center where the shooting took place, had her house robbed while she attended a vigil for one of the victims. Along with jewelry and personal items taken from her home, her beloved Gretzky jersey was gone, as well.
The Kings got hold of the news and surprised Torralbo on Sunday during Los Angeles' 3–1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Torralbo attended the game and was greeted by Kings' mascot Bailey, as he presented her with a brand new Gretzky jersey.
Torralbo was emotional after receiving the gift and appreciative of the kind gesture. Despite being overwhelmed, Torralbo still let out a loud "Go Kings" chant.

Mickey Mouse Diaper Bag By DollyReviewing: Dolly Mickey Mouse Diaper Bag | Rating:
I am a huge Mickey Mouse fan so when I saw this diaper bag, I just had to have it. I wasn't shoppiong for a diaper bag but after I bought it, I realized I really needed one anyway. The size of this bag is perfect. I have a small one, but it is too small. I had a standard size one, it is too big. This has enough room for a few diapers, a pack of wipes, a change of clothes, a sippy cup or bottle, my wallet and keys.
This bag is made of khaki canvas, trimmed in navy canvas. This is a large Mickey Mouse head and the top part of his body on the front of this bag. There are two pockets on the end, great for a cup or bottle. On the front and back, there are large pockets with velcro to keep them closed. There is also a magnet snap to keep the bag closed.
The inside of this diaper bag is lined with vinyl that has the signature Mickey Mouse Head and "Mickey Mouse" print all over. Also on the inside, you'll find a large zippered pocket.
This is a really cute bag. When it's the kids and me going out, I don't even carry my purse, I just throw my wallet in the diaper bag. It's enough of a challenge keeping up with two kids, I don't want to have to keep up with a purse and a diaper bag too!

Since these disks are plain DOS disks (with a syslinux boot sector) we could distribute .ZIP files containing these disks, or even distribute the files uncompressed so people could simply copy them to a floppy and run SYSLINUX.EXE.

Last week Elias Bizannes and I wrote a post Assessing the Openness of Facebook's 'Open Graph Protocol'. To summarize that post, it's clear that Facebook is making a play to create, aggregate and own not only identity on the web, but everything that hangs off it. From Interests to Engagement - not just on their .com but across all sites. To do this they are giving publishers token value (analytics and traffic) to take over parts of the page with pieces of Facebook.com without giving them complete access to the user , their data or the user experience (all at the exclusion of any other player). In addition, they are building a semantic map of the Internet that will broker interests and data on a scale never before seen anywhere.
In the face of such huge momentum and stunningly effective execution (kudos to them!), aiming for (or using the word) Open is no longer enough. The web community needs to up it's game.
The same is true for data portability - the group and the idea. Data portability is no longer enough. We must raise the bar and start to aim for Interoperable Data Portability.
Interoperability means that things work together without an engineer first having to figure out what's on the other end of an API call.
When you request 'http://blog.areyoupayingattention.com' it isn't enough that the data is there, or that that its 'open' or 'accessible'. No. The reason the web works is because the browser knows exactly how to request the data (HTTP) and how the data will be returned (HTML/CSS/JS). This is an interoperable transaction.
Anyone could write a web server, create a web page, or develop a web browser and it just works. Point the browser somewhere else, and it continues to work.
Now map this to the social web. Anyone could (should be able to) build an open graph, create some graph data, and point a social widget to it and it just works. Point the social widget somewhere else, and it continues to work.
As you can see from the mapping above, the interaction between a social widget and it's social graph should be the same as that of a browser and a web-server. Not just open, but interoperable, interchangeable and standardized.
Why? Innovation.
The same kind of innovation we get when we have cutting edge web servers competing to be the best damned web server they can be (IIS vs. Apache), and cutting edge websites (Yahoo vs. MSN vs. Google vs. Every other site on the Internet) and cutting edge browsers (Netscape vs. IE vs. Safari vs. Chrome). These products were able to compete for their part in the stack.
Imagine if we got stuck with IIS, Netscape and Altavista locking down the web with their own proprietary communication channels. The web would have been no better than every closed communication platform before it. Slow, stale and obsolete.
How do we become interoperable? It's hard. Really hard. Those of us who manage products at scale know its easy to make closed decisions. You don't have to be an evil mastermind - you just have to be lazy. Fight against being lazy. Think before you design, develop or promote your products - try harder. I don't say this just to you, I say it to myself as well. I am just as guilty of this as anyone else out there developing product. We must all try harder.
Open standards are a start, but open protocols are better. Transactions that, from start to finish, provide for Discoverability, Connectivity and Exchange of data using well known patterns.
The standards groups have done a lot of work, but standards alone don't solve the problem. It requires product teams to implement the standards and this is an area I am far more interested in these days. How do we implement these patterns at scale.
Customers (i.e. Publishers) must also demand interoperable products. Products that not just connect them to Facebook or Twitter but rather make them first class nodes on the social web.
Like we said on the DataPortability blog:
In order for true interoperable, peer-to-peer data portability to win, serious publishers and other sites must be vigilant to choose cross-platform alternatives that leverage multiple networks rather than just relying on Facebook exclusively.
In this way they become first-class nodes on the social web rather than spokes on Facebook's hub.
But this is just the start. This just stems the tide by handing the keys to more than one player so that no one player kills us while the full transition to a true peer-to-peer model takes place.
If the web is to truly stay open and interoperable, we need to think bigger and better than just which big company (s) we want to hand our identities to.
Just like every site on the web today can have its own web server, every site should also have the choice to host (or pick) its own social server. Every site should become a fully featured peer on the social web. There is no reason why CNN can not be just as functional, powerful, effective and interchangeable as Facebook.com.
If we don't, we will be stuck with the IIS, IE and Netscape's of the social web and innovation will die.

Alexandria Summit: Neuroscience 2015 – Opening Remarks
Good morning. Let me begin by thanking Joel and Lynne for inviting me here, and for the organizers who have put this together. I also want to thank this entire room of geniuses – and that's a word that I don't use lightly – that Alexandria has gathered together for this conference.
I can say with certainty that if it weren't for all of you and the thousands of people who do what you do and help you out, I wouldn't be standing here today. Now, as you may know, complimenting the audience is an old speechwriters' trick. It's meant to soften you up and help you feel good about me and things like that. But in this case, as Henry Kissinger once said in a radically different context, it has the added advantage of being true.
Because in this room, there are people who decipher the genetic code; who actually understand the intricacies of neurotransmitters; who make bets on ventures where other people dare not tread; who develop medications that, while imperfect, actually work; and who have devoted their lives to standing up for people like me with brain disorders. And these are diseases that confuse, that confound, and that terrify.
Your commitment and your efforts have made it possible for me to wake up every morning and go to work, to stay out of the mental hospital for 26 years, to survive various tragedies, to get married and raise children (albeit with mixed success), to make it through divorce, and then to find a second person foolish enough to want to spend the rest of her life with me.
So, a big thank you to this group for, well, my life. You should really feel good about what you've done for me.
All that being said, I still have one favor to ask: please make your way down to Washington, D.C., because it's a short trip and there's a long list of people who could really use your help.
I want now to talk to you about why I'm here. Then I want to talk very briefly about things I imagine we may not hear a lot about over the next day and a half.
I'm here because, like you, I have a deep fascination with the brain. How it works, of course, but more importantly what happens when it doesn't. That fascination is born of personal experience. More than half a life ago, after several years of psychoanalysis and deep depression, I was diagnosed with manic depression. I had a couple of wildly psychotic episodes that led to doing time in two mental hospitals. I then sued an insurance company over failure to adequately cover mental illness.
I got involved in patient advocacy, I ran support groups for patients and their families, and then I had the special pleasure of working on mental health issues for the wildly successful Clinton healthcare reform effort.
I am also here because of my family. I am the grandchild, son, and nephew of people marked by mental illness of one sort or another. I've got a sister with depression, and I am the father of a child, an uncle, and cousin to others who are on the autism spectrum. Thinking carefully about the mess that is my family, I am reminded of a bumper sticker I once saw. You there, it demanded, get out of the gene pool.
On a more serious note, I am here because I'm lucky. In addition to benefiting from all your work, I come from a personal background where psychiatry has been encouraged and understood, where money for treatment has not been an object, where friends have stuck by me, and where I've been able almost since the day of my diagnosis to be open about my illness with my colleagues.
The same, as you know, cannot be said for millions of people who suffer from illnesses that affect the brain. So, I guess fundamentally, I'm here to speak for them.
Over the next couple of days, we're going to listen to a lot of very smart people talk about the latest innovations in the way we diagnose, measure, and treat disorders of the brain. We'll hear about data and technological wizardry and the kinds of new therapeutics that will blow our minds and, in some cases, actually might even help fix some of them.
That's not what I'm going to spend the rest of my time on. Instead, I'm going to talk now about the people for whom you work so hard: the patients. And I'm going to offer five propositions that might help guide some of our thinking over the next couple of days. Consider them just a few basic ideas to start a discussion, and to make sure we don't lose sight of why we're here.
So, I'm going to talk about treatment and say simply it takes more than medication. I'm going to talk about policy and say focus where the need is greatest. I'm going to talk about attitudes and say let's make being open easy. I'm going to talk about solutions and say don't overpromise. And I'm going to talk about the future and say let's keep taking big risks.
Let me start, as one should, at the beginning with my first proposition, it takes more than medication. Now, please don't get me wrong – and I know that there are many drug manufacturers in this room – I believe that medication is necessary. And in today's world, not using the best available biological or chemical solutions to treat brain disorders is, in essence, malpractice.
But what's necessary is not necessarily enough. Why? Because, simply put, even the best drugs in the world only help people like me get to the point where we're as miserable as everyone else in the world. Mental illnesses, brain disorders, addictions – all of these things go way beyond the brain to undercut whole lives. They seem to devote themselves to creating new levels, new kinds, and new dimensions of misery.
And that's why things like psychotherapy, family support, community services, and even exercise are needed to keep patients on their meds in the first place, to help them cope with events that can trigger episodes, to keep them from wandering aimlessly, and to help stop them from sinking so low that they reach for the pills, the rope, or the pistol.
Second, on policy and brain disorders, let's focus where the need is greatest. That sounds of course like the most obvious thing one could say. But remember, I'm from Washington, where the obvious is all too often overlooked by the oblivious.
So, where's the need? Certainly among military veterans, among whom the rates of post-traumatic strees disorder and suicide have created new battlefields here at home. And in the prisons, what I like to refer to as America's leading chain of mental hospitals, where we need to find new ways to arrest the vicious cycle that leads from the streets to the cells and back again.
And, as all of us know far too well, let's focus on children. We need to find new ways to diagnose and prevent illnesses before they fall into a lifetime of struggle or pick up a gun and walk into a school.
Focusing on these groups means that middle-aged white guys like me, people who have access to decent health insurance and treatment, may not get quite as much attention tomorrow as we do today. Well, that's OK.
Third, let's make being open easy. There's no question that in some very fundamental ways, we live in a far different, more accepting society than we did even a decade ago. If you're looking for evidence, consider the fact that just a couple of nights ago, an African-American President stood up in front of Congress and talked about national acceptance of gay marriage. Let that sink in just for a moment.
Now, to be fair, and lest you think that I'm a "glass seven-eighths empty" kind of guy, I'll acknowledge that society has also grown more open and accepting of illnesses like mine, manic depression. When I first went public to talk about my problems back in 1989, it was seen as something of a foolish choice. Today, however, the ranks of the publicly foolish have grown and the level of denial has declined.
But there are still things that are so feared and so foreign – illnesses whose symptoms can include violent acts, voices in one's head, and behaviors that are just downright mysterious – there are still things so feared and so foreign that we've only begun to chip away at the ignorance. And lucky you, you've chosen to spend your lives dealing with this stuff.
I believe it's never our place to tell someone else whether to go public about his or her illness. That's a personal choice. But I think we all have a responsibility to make the choice to be open easier, and I thank you for doing that.
My fourth proposition is about solutions: don't overpromise. People who carry disorders of the brain are desperate for the cure. They are anxiously awaiting the new, new thing, and at times, they have been told that it's just around the corner. I understand that providing hope is necessary. It's important that your patients and their families believe that things will get better. It's vital for your funders to know that they are investing in something worthwhile. And you certainly want to do everything in your power to remove obstacles to better, safer treatment.
But let's all pledge to talk about what's doable, about controlling and managing these illnesses, not curing them. Let's agree that silver bullets don't exist. Let's under-promise and over-deliver. And let's let the public know that progress is going to come only very, very gradually.
Finally, my fifth point. At the same time that I argue against big public promises, I urge you to keep taking big risks. It may seem strange to promote gambling in this context. After all, we're dealing here with science and the logic and rationality of molecules and genes and chemistry. We're focusing on an organ of infinite complexity, and we should be taking a cautious approach when so many millions of lives are at stake.
But I think that caution in your work is the enemy of progress, and those of you in this room – scientists, funders, government officials, advocates – you know from experience that breakthroughs only really happen when you take a leap of faith. You've taken those leaps before, and I urge you to keep taking them. Because change, more often than not, requires a roll of the dice and a bet on something that's no sure thing.
Let me end where I began, by thanking all of you on a personal level for the life you have given me and the help you've provided to my family. Because of you, I have so much greater hope for my son and the generation that will follow him, more hope than I ever thought possible. And on behalf of all those people who aren't lucky enough to stand up here today, let me thank you for the millions of new and renewed lives your discoveries will bring. As you dissect the mysteries of the brain and point the way to the next new things here at this summit, let's keep those people firmly on our minds.

Scahill: Blackwater used shell company to defraud US government
Blackwater set up a shell company to "defraud the government" by leading it to believe it wasn't contracting with the notorious security contractor, investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill says.
"In Afghanistan, they set up this shell company, Paravant, in collaboration with mammoth war giant Raytheon, which held the prime contract" for training Afghan security forces, Scahill told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
"And they set up this contract to try to hide the fact that the Pentagon was once again hiring Blackwater, this firm that's been under investigation by practically every federal entity in the United States," Scahill continued. "It's a shell company that was used to essentially defraud the government by convincing the Army that Blackwater was not getting the contract, but this company Paravant."
Scahill was discussing revelations at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing into Blackwater's work in Afghanistan. Numerous allegations of wrongdoing were presented at those hearings, including a claim that employees of Blackwater's Paravant subsidiary took more than 200 guns from a US military arsenal under a South Park character's name — "Eric Cartman."
It also emerged that company guards still have in their possession 53 of those weapons, which they were never authorized to have. Perhaps most surprisingly, a US Army official told the committee the Army didn't know that Paravant was a Blackwater subsidiary when it was given the training sub-contract.
And Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) caught Blackwater officials in a lie when he noticed that their application for the sub-contract stated that Paravant "has many years of experience identifying and selecting top candidates for training" — even though the firm had been set up only months earlier.

Just wrapped up a busy day. Shopping for an anniversary gift for hubby, then the last night of Lent bible study. Rushed home to run protocols. Still learning to balance running programs with life. Missed my 1p.m. time as I wasn't home. So I got home at 4:30, ran a program, went to church...got home and just finished running more programs. Payng for not keeping to the schedule. My back pain is worse than it has been for the past week :( My own fault though.
Thanks to Muff for the author suggestions! Wish you could make it to Texas. Hopefully someday this treatment will be widely available to everyone AND covered by insurance! I know it's turned out to be an absolute blessing for me in regrds to my pain, sleep and MS symptoms. TIme will tell if it helps prevent exacerbations....but you can bet I'll keep you posted!
Every journey starts with a single step. My journey started "officially" in March 2006. I started this blog six years into my journey, I often find myself amazed at how this disease taught me a lot....about me. I find the hot air balloons a perfect representation of my journey, with all it's ups and downs....I still soar.

Medical Malpractice FAQ
What time limits effect my ability to start a lawsuit against a physician?
The amount of time a person has to start a lawsuit is called the Statute of Limitations. To start a lawsuit, papers have to be filed in a courthouse and then delivered to the people named as defendants in the lawsuit. This legal time period differs from state to state. In New York State, generally, against a privileged doctor or hospital a patient has 2 1/2 years from the date of the last negligent event. In New York State, if the medical malpractice / negligence occurred at a municipal hospital, there are very strict periods much shorter in length. A Notice of Claim has to be filed with the municipality within 90 days of an event and a lawsuit must be started within one year and 90 days. At a hospital operated by the State of New York, a Notice of Intention to File Claim must be made within 90 days of the event. There are specific tolls for lawsuits involving children, mental disability, and continuous treatment.
What is the lawyer's fee?
An initial consultation with medical malpractice lawyers in the State of New York is generally conducted without a fee. Investigation of the matter after the initial consultation is conducted without hourly charge. A lawyer in medical negligence generally works on the basis of a contingency fee. A contingency fee is authorized by law and has long been recognized as a fundamental way to provide access to the judicial system.
Very few persons have the financial strength to pay hourly fees for legal representation and medical malpractice. Hospitals themselves have great financial resources to fight a patient's meritorious claim, making the patient's exercise of his or her rights very costly. Experienced law firms in medical malpractice/negligence have the financial strength to fight the insurance and medical industries resistance. Instead of a up front fee, the attorney will be paid a percentage of the recovery. In the State of New York that percentage of recovery is 30% of the first $250,000 recovered, 25% of the next $250,000 recovered, 20% of the next $500,000 recovered, 15% of the next $250,000 recovered and 10% of any amounts recovered in excess of $1,250,000.
If I bring a medical malpractice / negligence lawsuit do I have to go to court?
Yes, although settlements in meritorious cases are frequent, settlements usually take place only after all discovery has been completed. Many times settlements are not offered until "half day" through trial. Recently, the insurance industry has bombarded the public with propaganda concerning frivolous lawsuits and large jury verdicts. This has affected the minds of many well intentioned jurors who are now misguided when they serve in trials. For this reason, insurance companies regularly refuse to settle lawsuits, hoping to take advantage of the expensive advertisements and news items that in the media.
At time of trial it is generally thought necessary that the person who brings the lawsuit be present in Court as often as possible. This could range anywhere from a couple of days to a week or longer.
Will the lawsuit that I bring affect my access to medical treatment?
No. Although doctors are sometimes reluctant to speak out against another colleague they rarely allow a lawsuit to interfere with their care and treatment of a patient. Over the years, our clients have experienced a very high standard of medical treatment from other doctors during the tendency of their lawsuit. They have found that doctors and hospitals are not concerned with any legal proceeding. However, patients should not rely on or anticipate that any other doctor who treats them will help them at trial.

Applications in life sciences are primary research drivers for the Center for Science for of Information. Given the ever-expanding repository of diverse data-sets, the complexity of underlying processes, and the importance of spatio-temporal context, life sciences applications serve arguably the most interesting and challenging test-beds for models and methods. Broadly, challenges in life sciences targeted by the Center may be viewed in four categories.
We address a few problems below:
Dynamical Data: A key problem in life sciences is the development of models at different granularity from time series measurements of cellular constituents such as proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites and phenotypes such as gene expression profiles, cellular proliferation, and cellular death. From cellular component measurements at different time instances following a stimulus, it would be desirable to build a biochemical pathway model. Such models may be correlative or causal and can contain myriad nodes and edges. If one were to consider modules that are varying with time, hypergraphs can be constructed based on a correlation metric or interaction data. These hypergraphs provide a glimpse of the dynamics of the system. However, it would be desirable to convert these hypergraphs into necessary and sufficient models to quantitatively describe the cellular phenotypes. This is a major challenge for the Center.
Many-to-many Network and Biochemical Pathways: Shannon's methods deal with point to point interaction or communications. However all biological systems are many-point-to-many-point communications and there are no algorithms for understanding the information complexity of this system. We will develop methods to pose the following questions. What are minimal networks that will provide quantitative information on phenotypes? What is the sensitivity of different connections for a given phenotype? Entirely new methods need to be developed to address this problem.
Modularity in Networks: We will develop algorithms for deciphering modularity in systems. Amongst the interaction networks, biologists have painstakingly identified cliques that have relevance for chosen phenotypes. However, there are few methods that can predict modules in networks. One quest of this center is to identify modules from complex pathways.
Genome Encoding and Evolution: A large fraction of the Human Genome codes for gene expression control during the life time of an organism. Driven by exciting new technologies, the field of Genomics is now beginning to decipher the language of gene control. This process holds many challenges related to Information Theory. At a pragmatic level, it requires the integration of large amounts of heterogeneous, noisy and missing data, which nonetheless describe the action of robust networks. There are also fascinating questions of classification and identification of the different functional components of the regulatory networks. Also, by comparing the genomes of different individuals and different species we stand to learn about modes of information transmission through the generations. In many ways the genome is the ultimate information repository, and using Information Theory to better understand it is a major challenge.

Book Description
I'm living one dream; my book, Sirenz, co-authored with best gal pal Natalie Zaman, debuts from Flux in June. I'd like to be able to chase my other dreams where ever they take me, but that's dependent upon money, time, political unrest, contractual agreements, book revisions, if cat will let me, and if I have to make dinner.
Natalie Zaman is the co-author of Sirenz and its sequel, Sirenz Back In Fashion, published by Flux. Her other projects are a concoction of steampunk, romance and Victorian paranormal fantasy, not necessarily in that order. Or all together. Natalie lives in central New Jersey with her family and several fine looking chickens.
So, the Meg and Shar are back to being just roomies when Shar finds a little Tiffany's box in her purse. The ring is from Hades and Meg convinces Shar she should at least try on the 5 carat stone before she dumps it since she knows Shar will regret it later. Yeah, that wasn't such a good idea. The ring reactivates the contract between them and Hades and even though they though they went through the contract with a fine tooth comb, they missed the really small print on this one. So Meg is stuck on Earth searching for another human soul for Hades while Shar is in the Underworld planning a fete for his wife, Persephone. And if you remember your mythology, you know Persephone is a really unhappy camper when she has to return to Hades every six months.
So you know that when Cerebus pops his three heads up in this new installment was heart was won. Shar takes this beast and pretty much turns him into a "good goggie" since she is stuck in the Underworld with not much to entertain her. Caz is the only guy that really talks to Shar here and without Meg (her new BFF) she is lost but know she has to pull it together to get through the contract and back into freedom. Meg has it no better and find she worked better with Shar. Meg is still trying to connect with Jeremy. The view of the Underworld that is related here is something that really rings true: hell is what you make it.
I really think I enjoyed this one even more than the first. The bickering between the two girls as they learn to work separately, yet together, and the friendship that develops because of it really came across as endearing and funny. The dialogue is just sparkling -- and no, not in that certain vampiric way. I think this one could stand alone but it might be best to read Sirenz first to get the full background. The ending does leave a nice opening for another installment that includes Kronos -- so maybe some time travel is in the girls' future? This series should be a good start to get girls hooked on Chick Lit as well. Again, this one is pretty clean except for some questionable moments of Hades only allowing Shar bathing suits and skimpy outfits to wear in the Underworld. I really wanted to rename it Underwearworld. I think adults who favor MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy series would adore this one.

Robotic Jellyfish to Swim Underwater for Surveillance
Military surveillance means unmanned stealth drones and little robots on wheels that are typically used for air and ground based surveillance. Jump into the water and you could meet a robotic jellyfish, courtesy of the US Navy.
The Virginia Tech College of Engineering has been entrusted by the US Navy with the task of developing an autonomous robotic jellyfish.
The Office of Naval Research has offered a five year grant to the college and the project has been progressing for over an year now.
If you were to walk into a lab in Virginia Tech's Durham Hall, you will find a tank containing 600 gallons of water. The tank serves as the foundation where researchers are trying to find out how a jellyfish functions so that those movements can be applied to a robotic version.
A prototype of the robotic jellyfish, roughly the diameter of a man's hand, was unveiled last year in the lab, and it was called Robojelly. Now a second version has surfaced under the name of Cryo.
Cryo is tall, at 5 foot 7 inches in length and weighs 170 pounds. This robotic jellyfish has a set of central core components encased in a waterproof shell, which is connected to eight moving arms.
A large and soft piece of white silicon is draped over the main core shell and the flexible silicone touches each of the arms. This constitutes a propulsion system- the arms and the silicone- and it mimics a jellyfish's action of movement.
The project isn't over yet, as there is still work to be done. In order to make the jellyfish autonomous, the on-board nickel metal hydride battery, which currently gives around 4 hours of life, needs to be enhanced.
Three years of the grant money is left, which should be enough time for the team to perfect the robotic jellyfish. Let's wait and see how Cryo will emerge, and what its applications will be.
