Colorado freeze nothing for gardeners to fear — and that's official
Near-freezing forecasts for tonight and tomorrow night got you frantic? Relax. And that's the official word from Colorado State University Extension and the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Panayoti Kelaidis, senior curator at the Denver Botanic Gardens and an evangelist for plants adapted to steppe ecosystems, describes such climactic hiccups as a lesson for Front Range newcomers. "The only reason one would panic is one is fresh to Colorado. This is par for the course, and we should learn to expect it. The plants we should be growing love this sort of thing."

Everyday Wealth Live
I'm the owner of Everyday Wealth, a company that helps entrepreneurs sell more products and services online through tools and education.
Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and people looking to make extra money online selling their own products and services.
I need a simple, 1 page site design for a marketing event (a live event that customers will attend (up to 300 will attend live in Atlanta GA).
I want the top of the page to be scalable left and right and incorporate my logo (everyday wealth image attached) with the word "Live!" in a hand written font (probably written in red). Be creative here. Maybe part of the word Live overlaps the logo.
The logo would go in the top left and the city and dates in the top right (city, state, and dates must be easily editable).
Below the header will be a video and nothing else. The background below the header could be done with a nice very light gray to white gradient.
See attached image of a random site that I like to see what I mean in my description.
Colors are up to the designer, obviously it needs to be professional and match the logo.
If you can turn this into html, that's a major plus.

The 5th Report from the Western Gray Whale Advisory Panel (WGWAP) published last week expressed strong concerns about Sakhalin Energy's inadequate collaboration on whale conservation on the Sakhalin shelf in eastern Russia. The Sakhalin shelf is not only the location of one of the largest oil and gas developments in the world, but also the principal known feeding grounds for the critically endangered western gray whales.
In 2004, Sakhalin Energy requested IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, to convene an independent scientific review panel to evaluate the Sakhalin II Phase 2 project and its potential impacts on the whales. Following the review panel's report, the WGWAP was established in 2006. It is an independent group of scientists convened by IUCN to provide advice and recommendations to Sakhalin Energy on an ongoing basis, with the overarching goal of minimizing the impacts of the oil and gas activities on the whales that feed on the Sakhalin shelf.
The Panel and Sakhalin Energy have established a good working relationship by meeting twice a year since 2006. Sakhalin Energy is the only company presently working with the panel to conserve western gray whales even though there are other companies involved in oil and gas development on the Sakhalin shelf. At each meeting, scientific data on the whales and technical information on development activities are discussed at length. However, leading up to the 5th meeting, Sakhalin Energy failed to deliver documents sufficiently in advance to the Panel.
In the 5th Report, the Panel requests that Sakhalin Energy collaborate by providing all relevant data and information in a timely manner to be able to contribute to conservation efforts on behalf of western gray whales. When Sakhalin Energy entered the agreement with the IUCN it agreed to provide information to the Panel so that conservation recommendations could take into account all relevant data.
The WGWAP panel is an opportunity for oil companies, conservationists and governments to work together to protect the critically endangered western gray whales. If there is continued inadequate collaboration on the part of Sakhalin Energy, the WGWAP will fail and the future of the whales will be at greater risk.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys are bringing their '90s boy-band magic to Dick Clark's annual New Year's Eve TV special.
Producers say the two groups are mashing up to close out 2011 on the ABC special.
The two bands, who have melded their monikers to become NKOTBSB, performed together live for the first time on the Dick Clark-produced American Music Awards last month. The supergroup plans to tour North America together next summer.
"The NKOTBSB just keeps snowballing … and nothing is as exciting as Times Square's New Year's countdown," the Backstreet Boys said Thursday.
"The excitement of this is just a glimpse of what our upcoming tour will be," the five members of New Kids on the Block added.
Pop singers Ke$ha and Taio Cruz are also set to perform from New York's Times Square on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2011," which begins at 10 p.m. EST on Dec. 31 and ends around 2 a.m. on Jan. 1.
Other performers include Jennifer Hudson, Willow Smith, Ne-Yo, Avril Lavigne and Train.

text: Danika recently had a threesome with the Hunter and her best friend Bianca and it was memorable but she wanted the cock all to herself, so she called Levi and they arranged a meeting place. The Hunter immediately called Tony and gave him the address to the hotel. Fortunately, Levi had a small camera and was able to film Danika while she slowly slipped her hand inside of her white cotton panties and played with her soft wet pussy. Soon after, while getting her tight little asshole tongue fucked, Danika freaked out because someone was banging on the door, she thought that her husband followed her to the hotel. She was eventually relieved when Tony walked in with his camera. After Danika's panic attack, she proceeded to masterfully slob on Levi's schlong and then she took it for a ride. Levi fucked her big booty in various positions before blasting her pretty face with multiple shots of his jizz.

Re: st: import excel

No. There isn't any part of -import excel- that tells Stata to split those cells while importing. However, the second response in my last message does tell you some strategies & warning about how to split those cells after importing (or that you can try to pre-process the file).
You have to tell Stata _how_ to split those cells/variables and that may vary variable by variable. If you have a specific question about how to split those cells after importing or how to pre-process the file let us know.

However, where you have other delimiters in a cell/string, you'd need to adjust -split-'s parse() option (or some other string_function) accordingly. Finally, if you have different numbers of elements within a string, you'll get different numbers of variables created by -split-, so you'll have to do some work to organize your new variables, but without seeing that data I couldn't guess about the strategy.

Spicy venison rack
Photo by Elizabeth Clarkson
For something different, try this juicy spiced rack of venison. Venison is best served rare, so do not overcook it.
Spicy venison rack
|Venison, rack, use farm-raised venison if possible
|4 Tbsp
|Olive oil
|2 Tbsp
|Shaoxing wine, cooking wine
|2 Tbsp
|Hoisin sauce
|2 Tbsp
|Soy sauce
|1 Tbsp
|Freshly ground black pepper
Cabbage dressing
|Spring onions, finely sliced
|Fresh ginger, small piece, finely chopped
|2 Tbsp
|Soy sauce
|Lemon, grated rind and juice of
|2 Tbsp
|Sesame oil
|4 Tbsp
|Olive oil
Roasted crushed potatoes
|1 kg
|Floury potatoes, agria
|1 to taste
|Sea salt
|2 Tbsp
|Olive oil
|1 Tbsp
Spicy Venison Rack
- Wipe the venison rack dry, then place in a shallow dish.
- Whisk the marinade ingredients (2Tbsp olive oil, shaoxing cooking wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and freshly ground black pepper) together, then pour over the meat, coating well.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour. Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients. Keep aside. Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Heat the 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan until smoking hot, then quickly sear the venison on all sides to brown it.
- Put the venison into an oven dish and place it in the oven.
- After about 15-20 minutes, when the meat is starting to firm test by pressing the surface with your fingers – it should feel slightly spongy.
- Remove it from the oven, place on a carving board and cover loosely with foil.
- Leave the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes, then carve into generous chops and serve with sliced and sautéed cabbage and roasted crushed potatoes.
- Pour the dressing over the accompanying cabbage and the venison. Slice into chopes.
Roasted Crushed Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes, then cut into even chunks and place in a saucepan covered with water.
- Add salt, then bring to a boil and simmer for 12 minutes. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200C and place a medium roasting pan in it to heat.
- Add the oil and butter, mixing well as it melts.
- Toss the potatoes into the pan, then lightly crush with a fork, pressing gently, as you want the potatoes to remain whole but with rugged edges.
- Ensure the potatoes are completely coated in the buttery oil, then grind over some black pepper.
- Place the potatoes in the oven, turn the heat to 190C and roast for an hour or until crunchy and golden. Serve at once.
Tips for making great great gravy
- Remove the meat from the roasting dish, then return the pan to a gentle stovetop heat. Use a wooden spoon to dislodge the baked-on bits from the bottom of the pan. A spoonful of wine or stock will help dissolve these morsels.
- Then stir in a little flour and allow it to turn golden in the fat drippings.
- Add stock or wine or the water the veges have been cooked in, then continue stirring until the gravy is smooth.
- If the gravy needs a little added colouring, use balsamic vinegar, Vegemite or a few drops of soy sauce.
- Other flavoursome additions could be fresh chopped herbs, fi nely sliced mushrooms, pomegranate molasses, the juice and zest of an orange or a spoonful of mustard.
- Always ensure the serving jug is hot before pouring the gravy into it.

In its 47-year varsity basketball history, the Towson Tigers are UMBC's most frequently-contested opponent and the two squads will meet for the 55th time on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at SECU Arena. The game is the fifth in a row for UMBC versus Baltimore-Washington area rivals. Tip-off time is set for 7:30 p.m.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: After playing an NCAA-record tying four consecutive overtime games, UMBC (2-4) shot a season-low 31 percent from the field in a 73-58 loss at Navy on Saturday. Senior wing Chase Plummer scored in double figures for the third consecutive game and led the visitors with 11 points. He also snared a team-high seven rebounds and moved into tenth place on UMBC's all-time caroms list (562). Freshman guard Rodney Elliott continues to lead the Retrievers in scoring, now at 14.3 points per game.
TIGER UPDATE: Towson (3-2) won its first three outings, all at home, easily handling Navy (72-45) and Morgan State (95-75) before outlasting Temple, 75-69. They have since played national powers Villanova (L, 78-44) and Kansas (L, 88-58) on the road, dropping those two contests. SR power forward Jerrelle Benimon paces the Tigers in scoring (18.2) and rebounding (11.4).
ALL-TIME SERIES: The Tigers lead the all-time series, 34-20, but UMBC has captured the last two meetings. Ryan Cook scored 18 of his game-high 22 points in the second half and Brett Roseboro posted a career high 19 points and added 10 rebounds as the host Retrievers never trailed in a 66-62 victory over Towson on Dec 1, 2012. Roseboro hit 9-of-11 shots from the floor before fouling out with 28 seconds remaining. Chase Plummer also posted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
WHO'S UP NEXT: UMBC will have its first extended break of the season through the Thanksgiving holiday, returning to action on Monday, Dec. 2, when they welcome UMES to the RAC Arena.

I'm a real estate developer and entrepreneur getting ready to launch a web start-up aimed at bringing together real estate investors from around the country (the U.S.) to put together deals. My co-founder is highly regarded in the real estate industry, and already maintains a successful web-portal aimed at real estate professionals. As such, we're looking for a brand that will denote both integrity and reputation.
Will be targeting real estate investors and professionals, but the site we are building is more about relationships, deal making and bringing together professionals than it is specifically about real estate. So, the brand should be more generic than typical real estate brands. We're not looking for the typical real estate marks, such as a house, a building, a roof, etc.
We are in the process of building a website that will bring together real estate investors looking to put together deals. The domain name of the site is "RealEstateMarketMaker.com" and the name of the service that we're building is "The REMM List" (REMM standing for Real Estate Market Maker).
First, the one big thing that we're NOT looking for: We're NOT interested in a typical real estate logo with a building or a house or a roof integrated into the site/service name. We want something more geared to the idea of bringing together investors, not necessarily the fact that the investment happens to be real estate.
Here are some things that we are looking for:
- A contemporary design that is modern, but not abstract
- A design that incorporates both the site name (RealEstateMarketMaker.com) and the service name (The REMM List)
- We're not opposed to something along the lines of: RealEstateMarketMaker.com Presents The REMM List, but we're open to any ideas
- We'd love a mark/logo that accompanies the names as well
- Some things that our site is about: People, Markets, Doing Deals, Matching, Bringing Together
- The logo will mostly be for the branding of the site, and will be incorporated into the site title banner. The whole design doesn't need to fit on a business card, though if the mark were strong enough, we assume it could be used independently of the name(s)

BACKWATER BREAKFAST: Pass (on) the Syrup, Please
Suzanne Pharr March 7th, 2008
By guest writers Pam Keeley, Jackie St. Joan & Kay Whitlock
They say what goes around comes around, but we didn't think it would come around in quite this way. First, twenty-four years ago Ronald Reagan told us it's Morning in America, speaking in bland homilies to create a tidy, white image of the nation. Now a group of leading feminists gathers in Manhattan and sends out a letter that it's Morning in America (The Nation, March 17, 2008) again, and time for a series of kaffeeklatches or power breakfasts all over the country—to sort out the threats that the current election presents for feminists' friendships and related movements.
We've felt the strain, too, but the NYC letter seems to us to be pretty lite. It's not that we don't respect these professionals with big institutional affiliations and media recognition. We do; many of them share parts of our own combined 120 years of activist history. We share the Hillary Clinton voter demographic, but we're all active volunteers in the Barack Obama presidential campaign out West where we live.
So we took up the suggestion of more discussion, but we wanted to start just among ourselves—Obama supporters—before this well-intentioned rush to healing and unity muddled our thinking. We got together for a virtual breakfast, over tortillas, bad coffee, chicken-fried steak, granola, and orange juice reconstituted from concentrate, to figure out why we were so annoyed by the "Letter from Feminists on the Election." Here's how we see things:
Although they may be our friends who are doing it, we don't want our politics confused with the politics of those feminists and others who through the Clinton campaign are doing the race/gender comparing and fueling resentments again. It's not only the male media who is claiming that Obama is "stealing" the moment that belongs to…well, a particular white woman. And on the pro-Clinton blogosphere, who is comparing gender oppression to racial oppression, and insisting gender oppression is worse? We think that, at its root, the potential for racial resentment and rift is a (continuing) white (feminist) problem. (Jackie: Personally, I witnessed this in Iowa in January, where Hillary Clinton lost, fair and square. The next day at the Des Moines airport I overheard two different Clinton supporters on their cell phones bitterly telling friends back home, "They just can't take the idea of a woman President." I wanted to say, "No, sister, you're wrong. Wake up.")
None of us imagined that the "historic breakthrough moment for which we have all longed and worked hard" would become one moment, not two. We're irked by the suggestion that it's all marred by the false choice between race and gender. Nothing is marred. This is a potentially transformational moment in politics, where people seem to be making choices based on other considerations, as well. Even the old white guys seem to have accepted that we've ended up with a black man and a white woman running. Win or lose, these candidates are changing the American political landscape for all women and people of color. A large part of that potential, we believe, can be credited to the leadership and wisdom of Senator Obama, who took the lead in not playing any card.
What happened "to the last four decades of discussion about tokenism and multiple identities and the complex intersections of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and class" is that the women's movement's main strategy focused on developing big organizations that needed big funding to maintain themselves—all at the expense of continuing to do community organizing. As the movement went professional, professorial, and publishable, internal movement democracy suffered, and organizational agendas, decided in-house, replaced a commitment to mass movement building. Momentum plummeted. Some in our generation benefited personally, but politically we flubbed. But, today—good news!– cross-constituency organizing is alive and well in the Obama ground game and elsewhere, often led by young people of diverse colors and backgrounds.
Our sisters gathered in Manhattan worry "that the feminist movement's real message is not being heard." Which feminists? Which "real" message is that? We loved Rebecca Walker's recent Huffington Post piece addressing this question. We see more creative and irreverent feminist energy out here than we've seen in decades. It's in our sons and daughters who carry their children to Obama and Clinton rallies. What pisses us off is that this emergent energy is not being recognized by the women who helped create it. Now it is embodied in younger activists whose multi-issue organizing is touching people and exploding in different voices, and across generations in wild and astonishing ways. It's not just about Obama/Clinton as popular music videos – Se Se Puede Cambiar and and Yes We Can – suggest. It's about us.
Who is asking the candidates to deny their race or gender or to claim "by their very existence that misogyny and racism no longer exist?" The Clinton campaign's belief that people are asking that of her may be part of why so many people feel she comes across as inauthentic. No one is asking Obama to deny being black. And he wouldn't do so anyway. He wrote an entire book about that.
We think it's OK for people to feel these days that many Americans are uniting for the first time around presidential candidates who are not white males. Of course this doesn't mean that misogyny and racism no longer exist. And it doesn't mean that we think the two Democratic candidates are equally good, or that there aren't shortcomings on both sides. But some voters have transcended their own expectations of what is possible for female and black candidates. And some voters have even transcended expectations of themselves. This, even as sometimes both are "popularly and reductively caricatured in perniciously stereotypical ways." We can rightly complain about the pundits. But what about the campaigns? Isn't Clinton doing the same when she talks about Obama not being ready to be president? Or when she shouts out "Shame on you!" like she's talking about a boy, not a man? And is the readiness on "day one" actually sexist code for the fact that she has a husband we can all fall back on in a crisis?
If "many women feel that a vote for Obama 'cheats' Clinton of her chance to break the glass ceiling, and many blacks feel that a vote for Clinton is a betrayal of the chance to break the race barrier," then we urge any campaigns fostering such ideas to denounce and reject them. Loyalty to the issues of gender and racial justice should not be confused with loyalty to a female candidate and/or a candidate of color. Much as anyone might like the personal gratification of having someone who looks like oneself in the White House, we must be political beings first. We didn't march and organize in the sixties and seventies to be guilt-tripped into voting for a candidate, on the basis of gender or race alone. The women's movement at its best was never a voting bloc. It was a coalition that shared a belief in the power of women to change the world. There are men who believe this, too, and Senator Obama is one of them.
We do wish that both candidates would speak more directly to the problems women continue to face in this country and especially abroad—the impact of war, illiteracy, globalization, and feudalism on women and children, the ongoing gender violence everywhere, the growing, courageous movement of women to free themselves and their families through peaceful means, such as education, a pre-requisite for a sustainable democracy anywhere. Kavita Nandini Ramdas addresses this in her powerful article in The Nation, "Leveraging the Power of Race and Gender."
How might we position ourselves so we're not fighting one another?" By raising these issues, again and again, and insisting that our candidates do the same. Yet we should also recognize that there is no monolithic "feminism." We will have strong political differences with each other from time to time. We should have more forthcoming and vigorous debates about these differences –disclosing our biases, defining our complaints, challenging claims with facts, analyzing and sharing – not less.
The times are changing, friends. We remember the older women (like ourselves now) who inspired us during the civil rights, farmworker organizing, anti-war, women's movement days. Those are our role models now—with all our rowdiness, our history, our know-how—along with a good dose of humility and grace, which, frankly we also desperately need or no one will listen to us anyway. We can and will play a part, but, blessedly, it's not just "our" movement any more. Move over and let younger generations have their day. We had ours.
So, on our morning in America we decided to extend an invitation for coffee on an upcoming August morning in Denver. Our place. August 24, 8:00 a.m. Give us a call. We'll talk about how to nurture real movement building, not just electoral politics. You bring the blueberries, and next time we'll skip the raspberries.

Conceptually based sculpture at the intersection of the visual and the verbal. The work often addresses issues of social, political, and cultural import.
My sculpture is directly connected to ideas and often addresses issues of social, political, and cultural import. As an artist, I find the most challenging forms and concepts at the intersection of the visual and the verbal. I delight in communicating insights with word-play, irony, and not just a little humor. Though most often classified as sculpture, my work includes installations and performances. Media include: wood, assemblage, metals, plastics, concrete, clay, and words. Exhibited widely since the mid 1970's in museums, galleries, and alternative spaces; the work is also included in a number of public and private collections. These works are from "The Séance Series:" imagined meetings between impressive historic figures who never met during their life-times. For the Séance Series, I selected individuals I have long admired. My delight was in pairing those whose lives, work, personalities, or reputations were extremely different. For each installment of this series I begin with drawings which evolve into sculptural tableaus: the furniture for a meeting in which the participants play a game. The first work in this series brought together Emily Dickinson and Marcel Duchamp to play a game of chess. The second proposed word games between Hildegard of Bingen and Herman Melville. In the third portion of the Séance Series Bessie Smith and Ludwig Van Beethoven sat down at the piano. The fourth work in the Séance Series brought together Audre Lorde and Abraham Lincoln. As I studied biographies and read the words of Lorde and Lincoln, it became clear to me that Audre Lorde would have confronted Lincoln on issues of race, power, and privilege. Lorde and Lincoln played "bridge." This was not a card game, but a physical, symbolic, span across an obstacle: a bridge built between privilege, power, influence, and economic security, on one side, and those denied the same advantages on the other. It was not a straightforward crossing, but a difficult, jagged one; composed of huge steps up, twists, inclines, and internal tensions. At the top center of the crossing was a "spirit-level" symbolic of the quest to equalize and create a more level ground.

RFID News Roundup
GainSpan, Ekahau team up to create location-aware Wi-Fi sensor net; Omni-ID intros service bureau designed to simplify deployments; Chicago Trump Tower to get RFID system for parking garages; ClearCount Medical Solutions closes Series A financing round; Sirit's UHF reader included as part of DOD RFID contract.
Oct 23, 2008—The following are news announcements made during the past week.
GainSpan, Ekahau Team Up to Create Location-aware Wi-Fi Sensor Net
Wi-Fi chipmaker GainSpan and Wi-Fi-based real-time location system (RTLS) vendor Ekahau have partnered to produce a low-power, location-aware Wi-Fi sensor-network solution. Under the partnership agreement, GainSpan has integrated the Ekahau Location Protocol (ELP) into its GainSpan Embedded Software, which runs on the GainSpan GS1010 ultralow-power SOC (System-On-a-Chip). The ELP employs the 802.11-based air-interface protocol, allowing the GS1010-based Wi-Fi sensor nodes and location tags to communicate with standard Wi-Fi access points, and to transmit data to the Ekahau Positioning Engine (EPE) software. EPE analyzes a number of factors, including tag signal strength, to determine an object's location. GainSpan Embedded Software leverages Wi-Fi and 802.11b/g networks to provide the communication backbone for their sensor networks. As part of the agreement, Ekahau will license to GainSpan customers the EPE software and Ekahau Vision application, a Web-based visual interface enabling enterprise users of Ekahau's RTLS to automatically monitor, in real time, the location of tagged assets and employees. Unveiled in March, the interface is designed to reduce users' training requirements (see Ekahau Announces Web-Based Interface for Real-Time Asset Tracking). GainSpan and Ekahau have already begun actively marketing the combined solution to OEMs and channel partners worldwide, the companies indicate.
Omni-ID Intros Service Bureau Designed to Simplify Deployments
Tag maker Omni-ID has launched a new service aimed at simplifying the deployment process of its Omni-ID RFID tags, including its Omni-ID Prox tags, which comply with the EPC Gen 2 standard and, at 35 millimeters by 10 millimeters by 4 millimeters (1.4 inches by 0.4 inch by 0.2 inch), are smaller than most metal-mount passive tags. The service presents end users and systems integrators with a range of commissioning options, and provides them with encoded RFID tags coupled with printed bar-coded labels. According to the company, this allows customers to integrate Omni-ID's RFID tags within legacy bar-code systems, and also offers a stepping-stone to RFID adoption across any industry. Omni-ID says it will grow to support additional options and services as required by the market. "We implemented the service bureau offerings in direct response to our customers' needs, and have already successfully provided the value-added service in a number of deployments," said Tom Pavela, Omni-ID's president and CEO, in a prepared statement. "We believe Omni-ID has reached a significant milestone toward simplifying the RFID integration process from a customer perspective."
Chicago Trump Tower to Get RFID System for Parking Garages
Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago, a high-rise commercial and residential complex currently under construction, will include an RFID-enabled parking system, according to Skidata, an Austrian provider of access-management and ticketing solutions, and TagMaster North America a provider of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), transportation and logistics systems headquartered in Tacoma, Wash. The two companies report they have collaborated to create a parking system leveraging TagMaster's RFID system and Skidata's Parking and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS). TagMaster's 2.45 GHz semi-active tags utilize a proprietary transmission protocol to communicate with interrogators up to 10 meters (32 feet) away. PARCS is an application designed to provide management software for parking facilities, including control and administration of various entry and exit points, point-of-sale solutions for ticketing and payment, and system interfaces for integrating with customer-relationship management (CRM) software and other third-party systems. The integration between the two companies' products enables PARCS to be used to configure TagMaster readers. More than 500 tags are already in use, the companies note, with interrogators placed at Trump Tower's entrances and exits. Automated Parking Technologies (APT), located in Chicago, is heading up the parking system's installation at the Chicago Trump Tower, which is currently about 70 percent completed.
ClearCount Medical Solutions Closes Series A Financing Round
ClearCount Medical Solutions, a Pittsburgh company focused on improving surgical safety, has announced the close of its $4.1 million Series A financing round. The company says it plans to use the funds to accelerate its sales efforts and continue its product development. The round was led by Draper Triangle Ventures, which provides funding for high-technology start-up companies in the Pennsylvania and Ohio regions. ClearCount Medical developed its SmartSponge system, designed to help prevent medical teams from inadvertently leaving sponges inside surgical patients. SmartSponge employs Texas Instruments' Tag-it HF-I tags, which operate at 13.56 MHz, support the ISO 15693 and 18000-3 standards, and have received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (see RFID-enabled Surgical Sponges a Step Closer to OR).
Sirit's UHF Reader Included as Part of DOD RFID Contract
Sirit, a provider of ultra-high frequency (UHF) and high-frequency (HF) RFID products for a variety of applications, including product authentication and tracking, has announced its partnership with five of six companies awarded multiyear contracts by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The contract calls for EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tags, fixed and handheld interrogators, and label printer-encoders (see DOD Awards Passive RFID Contract to Six Vendors). Sirit's EPC Gen 2 Infinity 510 reader will be supplied by systems integrators CDO Technologies and ODIN Technologies, RFID logistics and supply chain solutions provider Code Plus, RFID printer and label provider Lowry Computer Products, and automated data collection and RFID provider SYS-TEC (the sixth company awarded the multiyear contract is systems integrator Northrop Grumman Information Technology). The six primary contractors were awarded what the Defense Department calls Passive Radio Frequency Identification (pRFID) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

Five-Hour Battle At the Gateway of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary
A battle erupted between the Sea Shepherd ships Bob Barker and Steve Irwin and the Japanese whaling fleet when the whalers ignored a warning from Sea Shepherd to not reenter the Southern Ocean Sanctuary.
The Japanese fleet was escorted out of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary at 1530 Hours on Tuesday, February 9th. They left the Sanctuary at 60 Degrees South and 76 Degrees and 36 Minutes East.
The fleet fled north on a course of 310 Degrees to the position of 57 Degrees 14 Minutes South and 69 Degrees 6 minutes East and then turned back one hundred and eighty degrees and headed back towards the Sanctuary on a course of 230 at 1700 Hours on February 10th.
At 1650 on Thursday, February 11th the Japanese fleet reentered the Whale Sanctuary at 60 Degrees South and 62 Degrees East.
As the Japanese fleet reentered the Whale Sanctuary, the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin pulled up alongside the Nisshin Maru to deliver a message by loudspeaker in Japanese warning them not to enter the Whale Sanctuary. The Nisshin Maru responded with water cannon and LRAD fire. The Steve Irwin returned water cannon fire.
The Steve Irwin then attempted to launch a helicopter when the three harpoon vessels moved in with water cannons and LRADs blazing in an attempt to destroy the helicopter on the deck. The Bob Barker moved into position to block the harpoon vessels and the Steve Irwin was forced to fire warning flares in front of the harpoon vessels to force them to back off.
The six ships, four whaler and two conservation vessels, engaged for over five hours. There were many near misses but no collisions. There were no injuries.
A Sea Shepherd Delta launched from the Steve Irwin annoyed the harpoon vessels with rotten butter bomb attacks.
All ships have backed off and the convoy of whalers and anti-whalers continues in a Southwestern direction into the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
"Tomorrow marks a full week that not a whale has been killed," said Captain Paul Watson. "Our goal now is to make it two weeks and then three weeks. We will not tolerate the death of a single whale. If they attempt to kill and transfer a whale to the Nisshin Maru there will be inevitable collisions, because we will neither move out of harms way nor cease blocking the slipway. That I can promise."

Madonna's Cone Bras Sell for Almost $80,000 at Auction
Of all of Madonna's many memorable looks, one of the most iconic is her cone bra. Originally designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, the bras became the costume staple from the singer's 1990s Blonde Ambition tour, and they have staying power to this day: Two of them sold at a Christie's auction in London for nearly $80,000. Gaultier's fringed candy-striped couture corset (shown, inset) was originally expected to fetch between $16,000 and $24,000, but raked in more than double that, with an anonymous bidder shelling over $52,000 for the piece, The Guardian reports. The same private bidder paid more than $26,000 for the two-piece black Lycra piece, shown. Private "Vogue"-off, anyone?

The purpose of this study is to examine the advantages and disadvantages of using the EnSeal device in hemorrhoid surgery as compared to traditional hemorrhoid surgery techniques.
It is hypothesized that the use of the Enseal device will demonstrate an improvement a patient's overall experience through less postoperative bleeding and pain, decreased time for wound healing, and a faster return to work.
|Condition or disease
|Device: EnSeal Trio Tissue Sealing Device
|Not Applicable
The EnSeal Device is FDA approved for surgery in ligating and dividing vascular tissue during abdominal surgery. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy and resultant simultaneous division of tissues. This allows surgery to be bloodless and sutureless. It has been successfully used by many individual practitioners for hemorrhoidectomy, with apparent advantage and success; but to date, no comparative study has been done to assess the advantages and disadvantages of this method of hemorrhoidectomy, when compared to traditional excisional techniques. The investigators propose to use this device in the current study in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease where vascular tissue is excised in bloodless and sutureless fashion. It is currently being used in institutions throughout the United States and Europe.
After surgery, patients will receive the same standard postoperative instructions as for conventional hemorrhoidectomy, which include wound care, pain medicine, and other standard instructions. The patient will be followed in the office with visits at 3 to 4weeks, and 3 months postoperatively.
At these visits, they will be assessed for postoperative complications including but not limited to: bleeding, urinary retention, fecal impaction, hospital re-admission and pain. Delayed complications -greater than four weeks- will be followed including impaired healing, constipation, abscess, fistula formation, fissure, and stenosis. The patient's pain score and type and amount of pain medications taken will be recorded by the patient daily for the first 2 weeks then weekly for a month postoperatively. This will be assessed using a pain diary which includes a visual analog pain scale (allowing the patient to describe their pain level on a scale between 1 and 10) and space to note the quantity of pain medications used. During each office visit, the operating surgeon will evaluate the patient.

Monument-National - Studio Hydro-Québec (Basement)
An all-female, Montreal-based collective of experimental electronic explorers and improvisers, Fünf's five members have been working together in various configurations for many years. Erin Sexton, Émilie Mouchous, Anne-Françoise Jacques, Andrea-Jane Cornell and Magali Babin take a singular, eclectic and DIYapproach to sonic interventions. Their very own analog instrumentarium encompasses amplifiers, receivers and assorted objects they've devised, welded or otherwise tampered with, such as homemade synths and oscillators. For MUTEK, the collective performs as an ensemble but also in various solo, duo and trio pairings. Their most minute manipulations with electric knobs and handcrafted gear will be filmed and projected live.

Research and general acceptance
Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Each time the heartbeats, it forces blood into the arteries. Blood pressure is the force created when blood moving through the body's arteries pushes against the artery walls. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart throughout the body. Though many factors can cause hypertension, diet plays a major role in controlling high blood pressure.
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.).
Blood pressure is measured as it pushes against the inside of artery walls. The low blood pressure point, when the heart is at rest, is called diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the systolic reading is read and recorded first, with the diastolic pressure reading following. For example, if a person's high, or systolic, pressure is 118 and his or her low pressure is 70, the blood pressure would be announced and recorded as 118/70 mm Hg, or "118 over 70." This would fall into the normal range, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). The association's recommended blood pressure levels are less than 120 mm Hg for systolic pressure and less than 80 mm Hg for diastolic pressure.
If a person's systolic pressure rises above 120 mm Hg and up to 139 mm Hg or diastolic pressure rises to a level of 80-80 mm Hg, the person is considered "prehypertensive." High blood pressure is defined as a reading above 140 mm Hg systolic or 90 mm Hg diastolic. If the systolic raises above 160 mm Hg or the diastolic goes above 100, the person is considered in the Stage 2 high blood pressure range. High blood pressure can have serious health consequences. In particular, it is a major risk factor for stroke and heart attack.
Diet is an important part of controlling high blood pressure. A diet to control hypertension consists of eating fewer calories, reducing salt, eating more potassium, reducing alcohol consumption and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Eating fewer calories and reducing fat, especially saturated fat, will help keep weight down. And lowering weight to normal range usually helps lower blood pressure. Salt is well known as a problem for people with high blood pressure. Most diets for hypertension includes decreasing use of table salt and sodium in processed foods.
Potassium can do the opposite of sodium; it can help lower blood pressure. Potassium is best found in foods rather than in supplements. Foods rich in potassium include apricots, avocados, bananas, melons, kiwis, lima beans, oranges, prunes, spinach, tomatoes, squash, potatoes, and whole grains. Fresh fruits and vegetables are low in sodium, rich in potassium and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals.
Plant proteins also may help lower blood pressure; the best sources of proteins come from soy products, beans, peas, lentils, peanuts, brown rice, broccoli, and potatoes. A hypertension diet may be supplied by a physician, a center that specializes in heart healthy lifestyles, a nutritionist, or be based on the "DASH" or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension eating plan.
The DASH diet emphasizes lean meats, fish, chicken, low-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Vegetarian diets also may help keep blood pressure low. The OmniHeart diet is similar to DASH but may emphasize a particular food group, such as protein, more. Other lifestyle changes, such as quitting cigarette smoking and increasing activity by regularly exercising also may be recommended.
Nearly one in three adults, or about 65 million people, in the United States have high blood pressure. Of these, about one-third do not know they have the disease because there are no real symptoms. The American Heart Association reports that in 2002, high blood pressure killed more than 49,000 Americans and was listed as a primary or contributing cause of death in more than 261,000 deaths in the United States. Blacks get high blood pressure more often than whites. Men are more likely to develop the disease between age 35 and 55, while women are more at risk for hypertension after menopause. In 2003, a report found that high blood pressure incidence was even rising among children and was most likely due to the increased number of overweight and obese children and adolescents.
For years, physicians have known that controlling the amount of salt one eats could help control hypertension. But this can be difficult, since much of the sodium people eat today comes from prepared and pre-packaged foods. Other dietary factors also contribute to high blood pressure. In the 1990s, scientists from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) conducted key studies to look at the effects of diet on blood pressure. These trials, called "DASH", showed that an eating plan low in saturated fat, cholesterol and total fat, but high in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods helped lower blood pressure. DASH trials also followed the effects of a reduced sodium diet on blood pressure. As a result, a comprehensive eating plan was developed with specific suggestions from each food group.
The American Heart Association revised its dietary guidelines in 2000 to build upon the Step 1 Diet, also created by the NHLBI to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. Later research found that eating fiber could lower blood pressure. In 2006, scientists also recommended that as long as people were on a healthy diet, replacing some of the carbohydrates recommended in diets such as DASH, with proteins and monounsaturated fats can further lower blood pressure.
High blood pressure cannot be cured and is a condition that lasts a lifetime. People with hypertension must work throughout their lives to control their blood pressure and keep it within normal ranges. Many will do so with careful monitoring of blood pressure and a combination of lifestyle and diet changes, as well as possible use of medications.
Since manufacturers add sodium to preserve canned fish and poultry, choosing fresh fish and poultry instead can make a big difference in the level of sodium in the diet. Alternatives to canned and instant products include Fresh vegetables and pastas and rice.
Not everyone is sensitive to salt; some people have high blood pressure for other reasons such as heredity. But it is estimated that about one-half of people with high blood pressure are "salt-sensitive". When they eat excessive amounts of salt, their blood pressure rises. Overweight and obesity are other factors affecting blood pressure control; therefore, developing dietary and lifestyle habits aimed at maintaining or losing weight are encouraged. Closely following a diet such as DASH or one prescribed by a physician to keep weight in the normal range will help control blood pressure. In addition to controlling blood pressure, people who follow eating plans that consist of controlled portions, balanced intake from all food groups, and reduced sodium will enjoy other heart-healthy benefits, such as lower cholesterol.
Eating plans such as DASH or those suggested by a physician must be followed carefully in order to work. Learning how to read labels and to recognize hidden salt in prepared dishes is as important as pushing away the saltshaker at meals. People who begin the DASH eating plan may want to gradually work up to the increased amount of fiber to prevent bloating and potential diarrhea. People with kidney trouble or heart failure should talk with their physicians before starting a diet that boosts potassium.
A diet for hypertension helps prevent high blood pressure or is one tool to control blood pressure. Diet is not a substitute for prescribed medications, so patients should never stop taking medicines prescribed for high blood pressure without checking with their physicians.
It is important to involve a physician or registered dietitian in diet planning for high blood pressure and to check the advice of credible organizations such as the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic Association, or the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for information on diets recommended by those other than physicians and health care providers.
People with high blood pressure should not rely on "fad" diets for quick weight or blood pressure fixes.
Research and general acceptance
In a clinical trial the DASH diet lowered systolic blood pressure for patients with high blood pressure by an average of 11 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 5.5 mm Hg. A review of research also shows that patients with high blood pressure who lost 3% to 9% of their body weight experienced a drop of 3 mm Hg in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.
Research shows that decreased use of sodium helps lower blood pressure. A review of 17 clinical trials showed that people with hypertension who ate a reduced-sodium diet had reductions of 5 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure and 3 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure. Research also has shown a link between increased sodium intake and obesity in the United States. Reducing alcohol consumption by nearly two-thirds resulted in improvements of between 2.5mm Hg and 4 mm Hg in blood pressure. Research has shown that vegetarians in industrialized countries generally have lower blood pressures, but in clinical trials, the vegetarian diets reduced systolic blood pressure but had no real effect on diastolic blood pressure.

MAYFLOWER, Ark. (AP) — Dozens of residents and property owners are suing ExxonMobil Pipeline Company two months after a pipeline ruptured and spilled thousands of barrels of oil in the central Arkansas city of Mayflower.
Attorneys for a number of residents and property owners filed the lawsuit in Faulkner County on Tuesday seeking damages after the company's Pegasus pipeline ruptured on March 29 and spilled the oil in Mayflower.
Shawn Daniels, one of the lawyers for the residents and property owners, said Wednesday that he didn't have an estimate of how much money his clients are seeking.
"That's one of the things that we just won't know," Daniels said. "If it was strictly an appraisal issue on X number of houses, then you could mathematically compute it, but there are differences ... At this early stage, there's just no way to have any kind of a figure in mind."
The lawsuit says some of the Mayflower residents who are suing have had headaches, nausea and other health problems as a result of the spill. The lawsuit also says some residents have experienced property damage and declines in property value.
The residents and homeowners are seeking a jury trial.
ExxonMobil spokesman Aaron Stryk said the company had not yet seen the lawsuit as of Wednesday evening and declined to comment.
Mayflower is about 25 miles northwest of Little Rock.

Flipping the bird at a police officer or telling a cop to stick it where the sun don't shine is not the smartest thing to do, but it's legal.
In the last few weeks, two cases in the metro area demonstrate the First Amendment is alive and well in Colorado.
"Simply telling a cop to go screw himself is not illegal," said Denver lawyer David Lane. "The First Amendment lives in a rough neighborhood and if you can't stand the neighborhood move to China … or somewhere the First Amendment does not exist."
Last week, Lane's client, Bob McIntosh, got a $20,000 settlement from Boulder County over his arrest on Oct. 1.
McIntosh was pulled over for going 41 mph in a 20 mph school zone and used profanity at Deputy Sheriff Tim Lynch because he got a ticket.

With the vast storehouse of well written stage plays that, for many reasons, will never be seen by an audience, Stagewright offers an endless opportunity for the creation of high value content.
By its very nature, a work written for the stage uses an artificiality that requires a suspension of disbelief by the audience. By its very nature, the film medium can place a drama in a real world. Ironically, filming a stage play as it would be presented to live audiences in a theater, acerbates its artificiality, resulting in a static or "dead" quality to the film.
Wisely, producers who want to make a film of a stage play make adjustments to fit it to the film medium, such as filming it on location. Movies made on location are costly and schedules are subject to changes and many other time problems.
The consequence is that again, well-written plays with no production history and by an unknown author will not be considered as the basis for a film, thereby depriving audiences of voices that should be heard. Stagewright Films proposes to take the heart of the play, the story told thru its characters and dialogue, move it into an amorphous world where there are no boundaries, namely, a sound stage, add high caliber actors and bring in the camera. Using a skeletal set, a limbo background, theatrical projections and unique staging we will set time and locale in a minimal and abstract way only to support the theme and personality of the piece. Trust the viewer's imagination to do the rest. The concept allows us to preserve the works of our best writers, works that might otherwise never be seen.

Wrestler and entertainer Hulk Hogan has sued a Tampa spine center for "unnecessary and ineffective" surgeries that he says cost him $50 million in lost income.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, says the treatment by the Laser Spine Institute cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars and a well-paying match with top wrestler John Cena, the Tampa Bay Times reported Tuesday.
The lawsuit, filed in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court, charged the "repeated additional but unnecessary and ineffective surgeries performed by defendants resulted in significant bone loss and increased spinal instability."
Bollea, 59, was suffering from low-back pain and numbness that had grown worse over the previous decade when he underwent the surgery at the medical center in 2009. By December 2010, the suit claims, he still did not have any relief from the back pain and underwent spinal fusion surgery. He went to work three months later.
The suit claims that, given Bollea's condition, Laser Spine should have known its "minimally invasive" outpatients treatments wouldn't work.
Laser Spine declined to comment on the suit, but said in a statement that it was "proud to have helped thousands of patients achieve a better quality of life by delivering optimal surgical outcomes."

Playwright by Sheila Callaghan

Genre: Comedy/Drama
CRUMBLE - Happens during Christmas, and a year has passed since the untimely death of Janice's father. Struggling to cope, Janice is holding spiteful conversations with her dolls, and her Mother is suffering from panic attacks, with only her baking skills to keep her busy. In their deteriorating Apartment that incessantly begs for repairs, their only comforts are visitations from their respective celebrity crushes - Justin Timberlake and Harrison Ford. With the support of Justin's affection, Janice begins to craft a plan that will mend the chasm in their lives. Meanwhile, the Apartment is developing murderous plans of its own...
I was surprised that this wonderful eclectic play was presented in such a small venue. CRUMBLE is full of quality work and production to create a respectful impact in the theatre world. It was the best play I've seen in Los Angeles. It had the perfect balance that allowed the audience decide on their own funny, drama and reality moments. The production team presented with a clear vision where their passions are leading their careers as actors and crew. Making a huge difference in the world of playwrights, especially in Los Angeles. The cast was 100% committed to create the right impact of great theatre in L.A. I loved how the stomping sounds were magically adding character to the stage; which by the way it was impeccable! This play needs to reach a higher volume of audience, so I hope it's production is a total success across the country. A wonderful indie piece by talented raw artists willing to take risks, that's what makes this play so good! It really deserves attention! It made me think how important is to take care of your nest (apartment/home) and how important our home relationships are. Our homes are full of personal unique stories, every home history deserves to live forever. Make yours count!

While a couple of its recommendations may be politically untenable, the proposals released Monday by the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission would give Connecticut gun control measures that are among the toughest in the country.
In honor of the 20 children and six women who were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, and for greater public safety, Connecticut ought to have the toughest gun laws in the country.
The commission, appointed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Jan. 3, was asked to review public safety and mental health policies and recommend improvements. This work will continue; the report issued Monday was interim and meant to send "early consensus recommendations" to the 2013 session of the General Assembly.
The commission reached some of the same conclusions that others, including Mr. Malloy, have put forward on universal background checks, safer gun storage, limits on ammunition sales and the banning of magazines that carry more than 10 rounds.
The commission found that some firearms are required to be registered in the state, and some require a permit to carry, but that these requirements are not uniform. Some firearms can be obtained without permit or registration — which helps straw purchasers get guns to criminals.
The report says there are 1.4 million registered firearms and up to 2 million unregistered guns in Connecticut alone. To lower the number of unregistered guns, the commission recommends mandatory registration and permits for all guns, as well as background checks at gun shows and any other place where firearms are sold.
The commission's best contribution may be its discussion of so-called assault weapons. Defining them by their military characteristics (bayonet stud, folding stock, barrel shroud, etc.), as state law now does, has allowed the gun industry to change the external appearance and keep the guns legal, without in any way reducing their capacity to kill. "Defining an 'assault weapon' by form rather than function has been ineffective," the report says.
Guns such as the AR-15 used in the Sandy Hook massacre are civilian versions of military weapons. They are lightweight, and many enthusiasts like to use them for target shooting. On the other hand, the pistol grip, barrel shroud, flash suppressor, etc., were created for military use to facilitate the killing of human beings, and they do their work well.
Which is why these guns keep showing up in mass shootings, and in a fair number of violent confrontations with police. Indeed, a study by the Violence Policy Center of 235 incidents involving assault-style weapons between 2005 and 2007 found police involved in 27.2 percent of them. That by itself should tip the balance toward tight control of these guns.
If lethality is connected to capacity, as most mass shootings suggest, then the key would be to reduce capacity. To do this, the commission says the state should consider banning any firearm, including handguns, that is capable of firing more than 10 rounds without reloading.
A ban means current owners would have to give them up. Mr. Malloy said he does not support a retroactive ban on legally owned firearms; his proposal would expand the existing ban going forward.
The commission's position is not unsound. Firearm bans with grandfather clauses don't work very well, or at least take a long time to show results. On the other hand, a retroactive ban is likely to meet considerable opposition from the thousands of state residents who own the weapons and the companies here who make them, making it politically challenging.
This page supports a strengthened ban on assault-style weapons; they are dangerous and only appropriate for military and police use.
At the very least, as it formulates its gun control package, the legislature must ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. This will somewhat reduce the capacity to kill.
