Win tickets to see the smash hit musical Mamma Mia at the Roanoke Civic Center. Two winners will each receive four tickets!
Thursday, October 10, 2013
What has befallen the United States Postal Service? When I was a kid we used to have twice-daily delivery, and I remember the anticipation of seeing that special item ordered from the back of a breakfast cereal box coming through the mail slot in our front door.
In 1968, mail call at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, during military basic training eased my homesickness during my first and longest period away from my family and friends. Mail sustained me through my entire four-year hitch.
Now, even though I primarily use the Internet for communication, I know my holiday greeting cards as well as birthday, sympathy and anniversary cards delivered by postal workers will delight and comfort recipients.
I mostly use the post office to send and receive packages. Their new priority service is a hit with me. I have noticed for some time that even their package-handling competitors contract the USPS to deliver packages. I am pleased the big commercial carriers are doing their part to keep the service afloat.
But the news is bad, and the United States Postal Service's future is murky. I hope the USPS reaches out to us and suggests what we appreciative customers can do to help.

Thyroid gland |
Hashimoto's disease is a disorder that affects your thyroid, a small gland at the base of your neck, below your Adam's apple. The thyroid gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate many of your body's activities.
In Hashimoto's disease, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. The resulting inflammation often leads to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It primarily affects middle-aged women, but also can occur in men and women of any age and in children.
Doctors test your thyroid function to help detect Hashimoto's disease. Treatment of Hashimoto's disease with thyroid hormone replacement usually is simple and effective.

I've been to church, cooled down, but promise you, nothing personal to the candidates was intended.
I still think we have a win-win here, to be settled by voters in that district.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- After much controversy, the Colorado Springs City Council has voted to opt out of retail marijuana sales within city limits.
Mayor Steve Bach addressed council before the vote and urged them to opt-out.
"This issue has to do with whether or not the city of Colorado Springs is going to promote commercial sales of recreational marijuana. I know this is a really tough issue. It may be the toughest I've seen in my two years," Bach said.
Bach said allowing the sale of recreational marijuana would be a "job killer" and said Colorado Springs should stand with its neighbors who have also opted-out of retail sales.
"There are times when revenue generation is secondary to the well-being of the community and this is one of them," Bach said.
More than 30 other people also came forward Tuesday afternoon to speak on the issue. More than 20 spoke in support while others spoke against pot sales in the city. Each person was allowed about three minutes to express their opinion.
"Why take that money that's going to be spent and let a bigger city like Denver take all of the economic benefits from it when our city has equal access?" Martin Fischleim said.
"A vote to say no is a vote to open the black market," K.C. Stark, Owner and Founder of Studio A64, said.
Those who asked council to opt-out cited concerns about the ability for children to be able to access the drug and the impact allowing retail sales would have on the local military community.
"Our concern is that the free use of recreational marijuana will be a significant challenge for them and it will be a negative consideration by the BRAC community as they look at making their decisions and ultimately could impact decisions on what's here now or what possibly could come," Ed Anderson, retired military, said.
After hours of testimony the issue moved to a vote. Five council members voted to opt out while four were in favor of recreational marijuana sales.
"For us to move forward with this is not a responsible move from an economic development point of view and I think there's extreme risk," Merv Bennett, Council Member At-Large, said.
"The question isn't if but the question really is when. And I agree with that because I do believe the voters have already spoken," Jan Martin, Council Member At-Large, said.
Council members Bennett, Knight, Miller, Pico and Snider voted in favor of opting-out.
The vote to opt out means retail marijuana shops for recreational use will not be allowed in city limits. Some expressed frustration and disappointment and stormed out after the vote.
"The will of the voters was not followed at all today. Two out of three city councilmen who are are supposed to represent the city at large ignored 5,000 voters and said 'no your vote doesn't count. We're going to interpret this differently and sorry.'" Mark Slaugh, Owner of iComply, said.
The use and possession of recreational marijuana is still allowed for adults 21 and older. The vote also has no affect on medical marijuana.
According to the Associated Press, the city would have raised more than $3 million a year from retail pot sales taxes.

Attract the Baby Boomer Market
To really appeal to this market, you need to go beyond traditional marketing and consider the Boomers' real needs.
Today's Baby Boomers are a marketer's dream come true. But if you want a share of the $3 trillion that this market has as disposable income, slick ads and catchy jingles will only take you so far. To really appeal to this market of over 78 million people, you need to go beyond traditional marketing and consider the Boomers' real needs. When you make taking care of Boomers' needs your top marketing objective, you will not only sell more products and services, but you'll also build a loyal customer base that will help your dealership grow.
So what are the Boomers' real needs? Since many Boomers are in a time of transition (doting parent to empty nester, member of the workforce to retiree, etc.) their lives often involve transitioning to a new life stage or cycle. For this group, upcoming retirement is now an issue. Health changes are occurring. They're taking care of aging parents. They require money to fund a new lifestyle or pay for a child's college education. Being a grandparent also suddenly becomes a focus. No matter what the situation, many are shifting from an "achievement" mindset to "quality of life" values and concerns. Some outdoor power equipment dealers are starting to realize how lucrative the Boomer market can be and are creating marketing campaigns that target two of the many needs that Boomers have: that of transitioning into the "new" retirement, and of connecting and identifying with similar people.
No matter what industry you're in, whether it's outdoor power equipment retail, construction, health care, insurance, banking, media, or any other business or occupation, the best way to market to Boomers is to focus on serving their needs. To help you do so, following are the five C's of Boomers' real needs.
1. Community
Belonging to a definable group is very important to Boomers, because they're often losing an identity in other areas of their life. For example, now that the kids are grown and out of the house, they're no longer the "soccer mom."
With retirement looming, they're no longer the "over-achieving executive." That's why they want a place where they can connect with others who share their values and beliefs. And while the value of community is important in everyone's life, if you're marketing to Boomers, you need to use words and concepts that create a sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people. Consider such things as preferred shopper or savings clubs. The more you appeal to the idea of joining a group of active people, who share similar interests or business goals, the more Boomers will take notice of what you have to offer.
2. Connections
As a marketer, you need to know your audience and speak their words. The same concept applies when marketing to Boomers. Use words and phrases that resonate with them and their needs. Some words/phrases to consider include:
• Active
• Balanced life
• Choices
• Club
• Connection
• Experienced
• Future
• Growth
• Health
• Independent
• Mature
• New
• Not too late
• Options
• Passion
• Reinvent
• Start now
• Time for self
• Well being
• Wise
For example, if you carry a brand that has been around a long time, but has recently come out with a new product, try to market it in a way that appeals to wisdom of the old and the excitement of the new.
3. Contribution
Boomers need to feel a sense of contribution to a greater cause—a feeling that their life matters to someone or to a group. When we're in our 20s and 30s, jobs and parenting roles often fill that contribution need. But remember, Boomers are in transition and may be losing some of those roles. So show Boomers how your product or service can help them make a difference. For example, promote equipment that is environmentally friendly, either by the use of new technology, or alternative fuels. In addition to environmentally friendly equipment, remind commercial and consumer customers that with the use of your products, they are creating a visually appealing landscape. Think of the big picture and how your business, products or services enable customers to feel like they're making a difference.

James Ray
James Ray
James Ray remains a tragic footnote in the annals of R&B history -- a gifted singer best remembered for the classic "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody," he died of a drug overdose while his career was still in its infancy. Born James Ray Raymond in Washington, D.C., in 1941, the diminutive vocalist first surfaced on the Gallant label in 1959 with "Make Her Mine," credited to Little Jimmy Ray (also a nod to his uncanny vocal similarities to R&B legend Little Willie John). The record flopped, and like so many details of Ray's brief life, his activities over the next two years are largely a mystery. By 1961, he was homeless, singing on street corners for spare change and living on the roof of a D.C. apartment building -- there he was discovered by aspiring songwriter Rudy Clark, who in turn introduced him to producer and Caprice Records founder Gerry Granahan, whose previous signings included the Angels and Janie Grant. Granahan immediately signed Ray to Caprice, purchasing him a new wardrobe and setting him up in an apartment of his own -- in October 1961, he released the Clark-penned "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody," which crossed over to the pop Top 40 on its way to cracking the R&B Top Ten. The single was also issued in the U.K. in 1962, and a cover rendition was a staple of early Beatles live sets -- another British Invasion act, Freddie & the Dreamers, recorded their own smash version the following year. In the interim, Ray began work on his self-titled debut LP, releasing his second single, "Itty Bitty Pieces," in the spring of 1962. The record was a minor hit, and while the follow-up, "I've Got My Mind Set on You" (like its predecessors authored by Rudy Clark), earned little attention on radio, it nevertheless captivated Beatle George Harrison, who in 1988 scored a solo number one hit with the song. By that time Ray was long dead, however -- a majority of sources suggest his fatal drug overdose occurred sometime in 1963, although the circumstances of his passing are largely unknown and not even the Social Security Death Index contains an official entry. Clark went on to even greater success, however, writing a series of now-classic hits including "It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)" and "Good Lovin'." ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Nexcom – Versatile 12.1-inch IP65-rated fanless panel suits various applications
Nov 4 2011 - Subs & Systems [More Subs & Systems Articles]Hot on the heals of the APPC 1720T series of 17-inch Panel PCs, Nexcom has introduced two 12.1-inch platforms known as APPC 1220T/1221T, which are also based on the powerful Intel Atom D525 CPU. By incorporating this processor and DDR3 memory, the APPC 1220T series Panel PC with fanless design offers double the computing power of similar N270 CPU based products.
For applications which require protection against water, dust or humidity IP certification is essential. Equipped with IP65 compliant front panel, the APPC 1220T series of Panel PC provides protection from liquid and moisture damage which allows users to clean the surface directly using high-pressure water jets. This feature makes the APPC 1220T series especially suitable for applications where stringent hygiene levels are important, such as within the food and beverages industry.
Use of incorrect power voltages may damage electric components and shorten the product life. To solve this problem and to protect the product by converting different voltage inputs, Nexcom's APPC 1220T series of Panel PC, supports multiple power inputs, from 12V to 30V. This makes the APPC 1220T series ideal for telecoms, factory and machine applications.
In addition, the all-in-one APPC 1220T series, incorporates a vast array of I/O interfaces, offers expansion flexibility for controlling subsystems and automation hardware, it will therefore find applications within warehouses, logistics and access control. The back cover can be easily removed to access the additional 2.5-inch HDD and two mini-PCIe slots.
Two variants are available, APPC 1220T is the standard platform, whilst APPC 1221T has two RS-232/422/485 COM ports with isolation to address industrial applications plus two additional RS-323 COM ports. In addition, one GPIO port for 4 input/output is available for digital control. There is also an optional CAN bus interface to communicate with CAN bus devices, says the company.

I yhink the concept behind this is good but it was taken in very boring and harsh light conditions. The mods above can rescue this to some extanet, but there's no substitute for good natural light at the time of exposure.
Others have touched on compositional faults; one that seems to have been missed but screams at me is that the water line cuts across his face. A change of position should have been used to place his head either totally above or below the water line

A population of 13,000 fan blades from General Electric CF34-3B1 engines that power Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft have been identified by the engine manufacturer as being defective.
These blades were produced between late 2002 and late 2006 by Mexico-based Teleflex Aerospace Manufacturing Group, and rough estimates show they are present on about 1,500 CF34-3B1 engines, says a GE spokesman.
"There was a metallurgical issue [in the process for melting material for the fan blade]. The mix was such that there was slightly more aluminum in the blade than should be," says GE. "So that is why that population of blades was defective."
A service bulletin will be released tomorrow, directing operators to replace the fan blades over a two-year period. "It's a front fan blade so [operators] can do this on-wing," says GE.
The engine maker has been in meetings with the FAA on the issue. "They are in full agreement with us on the service bulletin," adds GE.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) yesterday issued recommendations to the FAA citing a safety concern raised by two engine failures on CF34-powered CRJ200s.
"We are issuing this recommendation because we consider the safety risk associated with this condition to be unacceptably high," says NTSB chairman Mark Rosenker. A companion recommendation was sent to the Canadian government.
Bombardier could not be immediately reached for comment. Further comment from GE is expected today.

There's more support than in the past on Capitol Hill for D.C. budget autonomy, but the proposal still faces hurdles.
The lame duck session has been true to its name so far, as lawmakers spent most of last week working on party politics — not hammering out the details of a proposal to avoid the fiscal cliff. This week lawmakers aren't even in D.C., meaning they'll have a lot on their plates after Thanksgiving.
One of the things D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton hopes will be on the agenda is budget autonomy for the District. She says there's broad support for budget autonomy for D.C., but acknowledges it still faces an uphill battle.
"My problem with the lame duck is getting the attention of Congress. It could go two ways: that they will be in negotiations for a long time so some bills will have to go through," she says. "Or the whole Congress could be preoccupied with what amounts to a half dozen bills that go out of existence and we go over the cliff."
Norton is keeping in touch with House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who supports the proposal, but party leaders haven't announced their intentions yet.

Billy Mackenzie And Gina X - The Best Of You
Just one song today, but what a song. One more from the aborted Perhaps sessions I posted awhile ago, Gina X is in full on Teutonic Femme fatale mode and....well, I'd be lying if it meshed terribly well with Billy. I defy you, I sodding DEFY you not to burst out laughing when she goes "NEIN NEIN NEIN".
Actually, after listening to this again I've decided it's glorious. I need to do a mismatched duets post soon......

Cheese: Morbier
Region: Northeastern France
Milk: Cow
This cheese, with a layer of ash down the middle, is no longer made from the leftover curd of other cheeses. Now the ash serves decorative, not preservative, purposes. The crust is a creamy brown covering two layers of yellow-ivory paste. Flavors of nuts and fruit follow an aroma of hay.

The government has recently submitted proposed amendments to the Employment Ordinance (the "EO") to the Legislative Council.
The current position
An employee may claim remedies against his employer in cases of "unreasonable" dismissal under Part VIA of the EO. The remedies available are increased where the dismissal is also "unlawful".
A dismissal is "unreasonable" where an employer is unable to give a "valid reason" for the termination.
A dismissal is considered "unlawful" when an employer terminates the employee in contravention of certain specified statutory provisions. Broadly speaking these are:-
- where the employee is pregnant or on maternity leave,
- where the dismissal was due to the employee engaging in union activities outside working hours,
- where the employee is entitled to statutory sick pay,
- where the employee has given evidence against the employer,
- where the employee has brought an unresolved claim under the Employment Compensation Ordinance.
The proposed changes
Under the existing legislation the Labour Tribunal (the "LT") may only make an order requiring the employer to re-employ the employee with the consent of the employer. For obvious reasons this is not an order which is often made!
The proposed legislative changes will alter the position as follows.
Where the LT determines that an employee has been unreasonably and unlawfully dismissed, then the LT may, if it considers practicable and appropriate, make a reinstatement order without the employer's consent.
In determining whether to make such an order, the LT may take into account :-
- the relationship between the employee and the employer,
- the circumstances of the dismissal, and
- whether the employer would face any genuine difficulties in complying with the order.
If an employer fails to comply with such an order, then the employee would be entitled to additional compensation equivalent to three times his monthly wage. However, the maximum additional compensation is only HK$50,000.
Failure to pay such additional compensation would be a criminal offence, which could result in a maximum fine of HK$350,000 and 3 years' imprisonment on conviction.
This change still gives employers the option not to re-employ an individual, but instead to pay increased compensation of HK$50,000 (maximum). In practice therefore, we are of the view that this change should be viewed as a backdoor increase to the maximum compensatory order, which a court can award on an unlawful termination, from HK$150,000 to HK$200,000.
The amending legislation is not yet final.

Posted: Oct 22, 2012
Ashley was born to ski. She grew up in Chicago, and she's the second of four children who all enjoy the same passion. An avid skier since the early age of 18 months, she was first put on skis and continued to evolve with and for the sport of Freeskiing. It wasn't preferable skiing almost all of her youth life in the Midwest where flat landings and ice are nothing but all there is to work with. But from her small, 200ft vertical home hill in Wisconsin, she eventually had the fortitude and mental strength to turn her passion into a profession. She was regularly active throughout her and competed in other activities outside of skiing. Growing up, she was involved in gymnastics, track, cheerleading. Ash was also commonly seen sliding handrails and gapping stair sets in downtown Chicago on skates. She agrees that her active youth and ability to adapt quickly to new activities has shaped her distinctive style of skiing.

text: AIP opens new office in Beijing, ChinaScientific publisher goes globalMelville, NY, March 11, 2010 — The American Institute of Physics (AIP) announced today that it is opening a new office in Beijing, China—the first part of a multi-phase plan to expand globally. An official grand opening of the new China office is planned for June. Beijing was the logical first step in this global expansion, say AIP officials, because China is second only to the United States as the largest source of scientific papers submitted to many top physics journals. AIP is a major publisher of international scientific journals and is an umbrella organization for 10 physical science societies representing 135,000 scientists and engineers worldwide. "With the rapid rise of China as a major force in science and technology, AIP has been considering ways to partner and engage with China's scientific community in the many aspects of scholarly publishing and the broader distribution of scientific knowledge in all forms," said John Haynes, AIP Vice President for Publishing. "I am extremely pleased with this latest development." China is only the first step in the planned line of expansion, Haynes added, and AIP views its presence in China as a key component of its global publishing strategy. The new AIP office is located in the Haidian District, in the center of the "Golden Triangle" of Beijing (comprising Tsinghua University, Peking University, and several major Institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences). The office will be headed by Xingtao Ai, a Ph.D. physicist with six years of experience at Science in China Press, a top Chinese publishing house. A graduate of the prestigious Tsinghua University and the University of Science and Technology in Beijing, Ai enjoyed a successful research career in China, Germany, and Canada prior to her career in scientific publishing. Ai will promote AIP publications, products, and services to Chinese scientists and engineers in universities, government-sponsored research institutes, and other scientific organizations. "One goal is to increase the number of scientists from China who serve on the editorial boards of our journals," said Mark Cassar, the Publisher of Journals and Technical Publications at AIP. "We want to support important research in physics and related fields that is taking place in China by providing better access to our journals and by giving more exposure to this research in our journals," Cassar said. In addition, AIP seeks potential relationships with key academic and government organizations and expects to explore joint publication development; provide marketing; offer seminars to Chinese scientists on how to get published in Western journals; and keep a finger on the pulse of emerging opportunities due to new trends in Chinese research. "We are delighted that our efforts to launch the first of our international offices are culminating successfully," added Fred Dylla, AIP Executive Director and CEO. "We look forward to many years of rich scientific exchanges and discoveries with our scientific peers in China." In other news, AIP Publishing has announced the hiring of three new publishing experts who will spearhead strategy to enhance AIP's position as a world leader in physical science publishing.

Does anyone else have this problem . It takes veetle forever to connect to server ??
Last edited by actonbhoyrob; 28-11-2011 at 03:59.
Witness the same but believe they have it solved now.
Also I noticed the embedded streams also have ads since a few days
It appeared on my website when using veetle and I am pretty sure I did not put there an add myself
Strangly these ads do not come up everytime. At least the ad is not in the videoplayer itself so not really annoying.
actonbhoyrob (30-11-2011)
Veetle defo broke atm, broadcast bar keeps going to zero/red.
Did I miss something?...I don't see Veetle recorded for any match!...
I mean that earlier there have been a couple of appealing football matches both streamed in Veetle with more options(one very good and newish)and I did not find any sign of them in their links pages.
you need make download veetle plugin ... site veetle
veetle has changed a lot I think no sports channels on there now (well I can not find any) there is a lot of movie and social channels on there now. Anyone else finding this or just me?
There's still a sports section if you got to explore and then select sports, but well I think it's not that usefull anymore for any of the bigger sports events. Most of the stuff they have is spam sites and useless video's, so they've really gone from a usefull flash streaming site to a quite bad site with all kind of shit, forcing facebook logins to watch etc.
Because of the Facebook sign-in and excessive advertising, sadly Veetle is no longer permitted on Streamers web pages
blinertv (06-08-2012), DEAD_MAN_WALKING (10-08-2012)
NO to Drugs
It was a good run on veetle when it started up but it has become one of the worst platforms out there.

HAWKS & COMPANY COMPLETES PHASE I OF HVAC UPGRADE AT HISTORIC SENIOR LIVING FACILITYENERGY EFFICIENT SOLUTION TARGETS OCCUPANT COMFORT AND SAFETY Deptford, NJ -- (August 2010)-Hawks & Company, a leader in energy-focused HVAC maintenance and services for commercial facilities, recently announced the completion of the first phase of an HVAC design/build and installation project at Francis Asbury Manor, a United Methodist Homes senior living facility. Francis Asbury Manor occupies a sixty year old structure located in the historic seaside community of Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and was named "One of the Best" assisted living communities in the Best of the Best 2009 Readers' Choice Awards conducted by the Asbury Park Press. United Methodist Homes selected Hawks & Company to design and install the facility's first HVAC system to coincide with the grand opening of its new Memory Support Residence (MSR) in July 2010. Special considerations had to be taken in account for designing a system to meet the unique needs of the building structure and the MSR residents. UMH is expected to complete the renovation of the remainder of the facility, including HVAC upgrades, in early 2011. "I am happy to be part of another successful United Methodist Homes project," stated Marty Rosica, President, Hawks & Company. "This particular project was especially challenging. We had to design, build and install Asbury Manor's first HVAC system, paying careful attention to the special needs of the occupants who, in this case, suffer from dementia. We are proud to have installed a system that is energy efficient, preserves the historic character of the building, and is safe and comfortable for the MSR residents."

What a great time was had by all in the celebration of Dr Seuss' birthday and the biggest fundraiser for the Roslyn Library!
Seussapalooza is our biggest and best fundraiser of the year. It is a family-friendly event that includes an auction of unique products and services, a chili feed of dozens of kinds of homemade chili and cornbread, and quirky entertainment that features music, dance, magic and all manner of live performances. We also hold a "dessert dash" fundraiser that specifically raises money for the library's Gary Parson Book Fund, an endowment fund that purchases books and other materials for the library each year. All of the proceeds from this event benefit the Roslyn Library, and to date, we have raised approximately $57,000 with this event. The library has used this money to buy computers, equipment, hundreds of books and other materials for its collection, and has held a multitude of programs for both kids and adults.
Our Heartfelt Thanks to:

Disobedient Lizzy
Written by Penelope
(1/27/2004 2:29 p.m.)
in consequence of the missive, I agree, penned by Ramya
Lizzy perhaps also is the most likely of the Bennet girls to not do what her mother tells her to do; and likely to tell her mother when she disagreed with her. She won't marry Mr Collins even though her mother threatens, at the very least, never to speak to her from that day. So her being headstrong and outspoken in character, and I would imagine often disagreeing with her mother's silliness, probably didn't endear her in her mother's eyes !! Just wondering what would have happened if Mr Collins had taken it into his head to marry Lydia instead, and proposed to her - would Mrs Bennet have insisted she marry him - for the money and for Longbourne - even though she was her favourite child ?? :) . |

Arain, Sarina and John, Gernot T. and Krause, Christian and Gerlach, Jochen and Wolfbeis, Otto S. and Klimant, Ingo (2006) Characterization of microtiterplates with integrated optical sensors for oxygen and pH, and their applications to enzyme activity screening, respirometry, and toxicological assays. Sensors and Actuators B Chemical 113 (2), pp. 639-648.
PDF - Repository staff only - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader 521Kb |
This paper describes properties of microplates (MTPs) with integrated, fluorescence-based sensors for pH and oxygen, and their application for enzyme screening and monitoring of bacterial respiratory activity. Thin, hydrophilic sensing films consisting of an analyte-sensitive indicator and a reference fluorophore, are deposited on the bottom of the MTP. This allows for calibration-free quantification of pH and pO2 with an acceptable accuracy and resolution for applications such as enzyme activity screening, respirometry, or toxicological assays. The sensor properties are mainly investigated with respect to their qualification for such applications. Specifically, enzyme activity screening is demonstrated for glucose oxidase using oxygen-sensitive plates, and for bacterial growth monitoring of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida. Furthermore, a toxicological assay monitoring the respiration activity of P. putida was converted into a microplate format.

With "Iron Man 3" breaking records at the box office on opening weekend and quickly surpassing the billion dollar worldwide mark it is little wonder that there's a buzz about "Iron Man 4." However, there seems to be a question over the lovably cheeky Tony Stark actor, Robert Downey Jr.
Downey Jr's involvement has been in question since he said he would not return to Iron Man until after "The Avengers 2" is released in May 2015.
He told Entertainment Weekly, "I'd go start another one tomorrow, but it's not tomorrow.
"And there are a lot of other considerations. But I also don't like the idea of leaving people hanging or leaving people in the lurch."
Downey is also attached to the third "Sherlock" movie as well as David Dobkin's legal thriller "The Judge" and Jon Favreau's foodie comedy "Chef."
He said, "My intent is to launch another franchise, independent of any that I can even imagine right now.
"My intent is to dominate the playing field for as long as I can, with my own challenges, with myself."
As exciting as his plans are Marvel has already made it clear that they will go ahead with "Iron Man 4" with our without Downey Jr. Although it would be rebooted, in the style of James Bond, Downey Jr has become massively identifiable as billionaire Tony Stark.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said, "I believe there will be a fourth 'Iron Man' film and a fifth and a sixth and a 10th and a 20th.
"I see no reason why Tony Stark can't be as evergreen as James Bond. Or Batman for that matter. Or Spider-Man. I think Iron Man is a character just like that."
In honor of the possibility of losing Robert Downey Jr, here's Tony Stark's top ten quotes
If they end up making an iron man 4 without Robert Downey Jr then there not going to get the same results. He brings something out of the character that no one can ever understand and that no one can ever try to replicate or copy. There is nothing wrong with waiting for avengers 2 its worth having Tony Stark being played by the only one who can portray his true potential, Robert Downey Jr.

People in Northern California may have felt a bit of a jolt early Thursday morning.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 4.6 magnitude earthquake hit at 2:09 a.m.
It was centered three miles west-southwest of Cobb and 71 miles west-northwest of Sacramento.
The earthquake was originally classified as magnitude 4.3.

I am hosting this month's edition of Speakeasy Cinema and y'all should come and join us! While I am forbidden from revealing the name of the film, from the hints below and if you know me, you might, just might, be able to guess.
So here's the info:
Monday, June 16, 2008
Time: 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: 279 Church Street, New York City – 3 blocks below Canal St- across from the Tribeca Grand
SPEAKEASY CINEMA provides an opportunity for the film community to watch movies and talk about them a la the Algonquin Roundtable. No one will know which film it is until the lights dim.
Be forewarned: I have chosen a film that fulfills one of the very important roles that Speakeasy Cinema can play: This classic is also a drinking game, and we'll be bringing extra alcohol so anyone who gets one can take a shot anytime the rules of the game demand it.
After the screening we chat about the film, movies in general and there's more drinking. NB: At this intimate event industry talk is verboten, but your libations are welcome (read: BYOB or wine and we will have the corkscrew).
You should bring: beer, whisky, and red wine.
And if you leave standing, you never arrived.
These are some pretty serious hints, but don't wrack your brains too hard. It's a nice, fun and brilliant surprise!
Admission is $5

Its time to swap the Little Black Dress for a nice Little Green Dress!we love the emerald hue,its such a gorgeous color that suits anybody. ever since we saw the Dolce&gabbana Green Sequin dress we fell in love with that color!then it was spotted on all the fashionistas on the red carpet and they all looked great. so for this new years choose a lovely green hue instead of the usual blacks and reds and make everyone go green with envy!!!some of our favorite finds:
Dolce&Gabbana from Net-a-porter.com
Halston Heritage from Net-a-porter.com

10/15/12 - To all I haven't written back: I'm sorry. I'm getting a lot of responses. Sometimes you get lost in the shuffle.
I really feel like I should put in here that I am overweight, perhaps you can't tell from the picture but I am. I seem to be getting a lot of "athletic" and "fit" types. I don't fit that description at all!
Nerd Girl all the way.
PS: I'm not really interested in a serious relationship (I'm not really cut out for relationships!) I'm here to look for a bit of fun. If you are looking for marriage and babies you are looking at the wrong profile!
One really important thing, I don't drive but I can get around (taxis if need be)

Jill provided an overview for Mark, the new Operations Manager in Art & Architecture, of what KULSS is about and what we do.
Staff Picnic:
- Only about 20 people came to the staff picnic on September 18. Deb Ludwig was the only administrator that came. Overall it was a poor turnout. Dean Haricombe expressed her apologies for not being able to attend.
- Jill Becker got stuck with all the leftover brats and veggie dogs this year. She plans to bring them in to work so staff can take them home.
- Maybe for next year request that staff RSVP. Or perhaps it should be considered not to have a staff picnic next year.
- Consider having it a Broken Arrow Park next time.
- Robert proposed that we have it later in September and later in the afternoon next time. This year it was held from 10:00-3:00.
Group Changes:
- Group 1 will officially be divided into the other groups and the names of the groups will change. The new groups are as follows:
- Group 1 (Adam): Cataloging, Facilities, Preservation, Reference.
- Group 2 (Julie): Circulation, ILL, Mail Room, Acquisitions.
- Group 3 (Robert): Branch Libraries, Administration.
- Group Reps should send out an e-mail to welcome their new members and to inform everyone of the group name changes.
- The Code states that the Executive Board can choose the distribution of the groups. We will need to create an addendum but we do not need to add these changes to the ballot for a vote. Jill will consult Monica about writing an addendum.
Job Title Summaries (Mary Ann Baker):
- Library Assistants used to be classified in Category 5 (Paraprofessional/Technical) about 5 decades ago. In the last decade they were switched over to Category 4 (Secretarial/Clerical) without getting input from anyone regarding this change. Getting Library Assistant and Associate positions switched back over to Category 5 is something we might want to consider investigating.
- Jill questioned the best way to proceed. Mary Ann suggested we invite HR to visit with us to explain the information in the columns on the Category sheet, to get suggestions on how to proceed, and the appropriate steps we should take.
- Jill received a link from Mike Broadwell with similar information and language about the job categories to the sheet Mary Ann supplied, but they are not the same. The hiring level in these documents is not EEO. We need to find an explanation for the discrepancies in the document Mary Ann retrieved from an Access database, which is not available on the web, and the web resource Mike supplied. Jill will discuss these documents with Mike before communicating with the University's HR rep (Ola Faucher).
- The term paraprofessional is not currently widely used. It is unclear if the shift in categories came from the federal government. Jill will address this issue with Mike.
Workshop Brainstorming:
- Perhaps have a session on Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory to identify what kind of learner you are (Accommodator, Diverger, Converger, or Assimilator). It's useful to know how you work and how that fits in with your coworkers.
- Kristin got some ideas from a session at ALA for fun activities:
- Library Olympics where a group tries to load a microfilm machine or non-circulation staff compete to arrange a truck of books in LC order.
- Photo Contests (match staff to toddler picture, or to pictures of their pets; staff vacation photos where you have to try to guess the location; have staff take photos of campus and the best wins).
- Scavenger hunts
- Staff crossword puzzle with clues about various staff members and their names are the answers.
- Robert can talk to the campus nutritionist to see if she would be available to speak at the conference.
- Review what we've done in the past and identify what was most successful, but don't repeat the exact same sessions.
- Think about restructuring the day (simultaneous sessions vs. non-simultaneous sessions.)
- Keep thinking about sessions and activities.
- Jayhawk of the Month: It was brought up that this award is supposed to be a surprise, but some people have been asked beforehand if they want to receive it.
- There was an open meeting with the Provost the week of September 20th. He described his focus on research support, but didn't have much to say about teaching and instruction. There is a difference of opinion about the purpose of library faculty: some feel their focus should be on research while others think it should be on instruction.
- The Chancellor is interested in being more involved in academics.
Group Reports
Group 1:
- 2 Library Assistant positions in Acquisitions have been approved and the search is in process.
- Group 1 has officially been dissolved into the other groups.
Group 2 (Adam):
- Alison Lansing has submitted her resignation. A surprise going away party is being thrown for her in Anschutz.
Group 3 (Julie): Nothing to report.
Group 4 (Robert):
- The Annex is not as busy as it had been.
- Engineering is having some computer problems.
- There are lots of tours going on in Anschutz with the hope of finding people of interest to donate. The installation of the Information Desk is finished with the exception of the metal letters. New furniture is being acquired. The circulation desk is the wrong color. Other furniture was purchased to match the circulation desk. Instead of fixing the color of the desk the new furniture is going to be recolored so everything matches. This will not be at our expense, but will be covered by the person responsible for the circulation desk.
Committee Reports
Support Staff Senate:
- Faculty Senate will be addressing enhanced faculty sabbaticals.
- Student Body President reported on his presentation before the Board of Regents, which centered around a proposal to make videos of KU students explaining what a KU education has done for them and how they plan to give back to the State of Kansas.
- Unclassified Senate is forming an unclassified staff council that will report to the Regents semi-annually. They will be joined by the unclassified staff at Wichita State to attempt to recruit unclassified staff at other Regents institutions to participate. KU Unclassified Senate will distribute professional development funds for their electorate to attend conferences, workshops, etc. They also obtained funding from HREO and the Provost's Office to assist 12 people with $4500.
- University Support Staff Senate noted that the task force to review the Code has completed its first draft and it has been forwarded to the full Senate for approval to forward to the electorate. They have sponsored a mini-wheat state tour. The USS Work Group is formulating its goals and it's hoped that the Disciplinary Action Board members from the past will be interviewed to learn how well the process is working. The Senate is also attempting to have some "effective meeting" training from HREO.
- SenEx members reviewed a draft proposal for the name and charges to a new task force to be formed to investigate Faculty and Staff and their dependants being able to get some form of tuition assistance. Once the draft has been approved by SenEx it will be sent to the University Senate for review.
- SenEx reviewed a proposed policy on the use of video technologies for safety and security purposes and approved some technical changes to the University Senate Code.
University Committee on Libraries: Nothing to report.
Planning & Resources Committee (PRC):
- Jill will attend the LFPA meeting today and report back on their discussion on the possible suspension of PRC and how to address this in the Code.
Mentoring Committee: Nothing to report.
Meeting Updates
Dean's Council (next: 9/24): The last meeting was cancelled so nothing to report.
Management Council (next 10/20): September 15 Minutes
- A formal announcement was sent out regarding changes in the Provost's office in the Provost eNews.
- The general education requirements are being considered for revision and there is a survey about the outcomes of these requirements available through September 27 that everyone is welcome to answer. The requirements effect graduation and retention, which is why they are under review. This is an open-ended survey to identify the goals of the general education requirements. These requirements effects the libraries so please respond to the survey with your input.
- In the Spring of 2007 a ClimQual survey was distributed addressing diversity and organizational climate. Management Council is looking at this again and considering distributing another similar survey. There might be some surveys coming out soon by department or by area. Some suggested the surveys should be more targeted to specific departments but the Dean suggested they be more broad.
- The Connecting to KU Teaching and Research Departments task force report is available. This report is shared library wide and the Dean will also take it to other places.
Dean's KULSS (next: 11/2):
- Jill met with Kent about the break room. He agreed that a use survey could go out to staff in Watson asking questions such as: Do you know the break room is there? If it was clean would you use it? Do you use it? and so on.
- Kent is willing to make funds available to put new furniture in the break room (new tables and chairs, couch-like furniture). He also agreed to take down the cubicle wall.
- He is on the same page with us about removing some of the items KULSA stores in the break room such as the Christmas tree, but keeping things like the wrapping paper.
- Improvements to the break room needs to be a group effort. Jill volunteered to help and others would as well. The people who use it need to develop a monthly or weekly cleanup of the fridge.
- It's possible the code to enter the break room will be changed so everyone will have an individual code to gauge who uses the room. If you have a code for room 225 or other rooms it would be the same code used for the break room.
- Jill will send Kent a reminder e-mail asking if we can get recycling bins for the break room. It may not be possible to give the recycling pickup the code, but if we knew what day/time they were coming someone could let them in.
- The idea of having the break room on the 5th floor is a lot further down the road because it will involve moving walls and expanding the kitchen, so Kent is pushing to improve the existing room since this can be accomplished much sooner.
- Maybe we can also get a new microwave to replace the ancient one.
Concerns to Bring up with the Dean:
- There was a concern about the way people are rewarded and that some people don't like surprises.
