During the fall 2009 semester, two GSU law students participated in an experimental course as part of a research study on ethically difficult issues in biotechnology law and policy. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded the research study for three years. The study involves four faculty with the Center for Law, Health & Society and is entitled "Ethically Contentious Research and Innovation: An Interdisciplinary and Interinstitutional Experiment in Ethics Education and Assessment."
The NSF study tests a new interdisciplinary approach to researching and developing policy resolutions for ethics problems in biotechnology law and policy. The problems studied in the course included the prospect of bringing a Neanderthal to life, using neuroimaging technology to predict dangerousness among K-12 and college students, restricting the patenting of human genes, and expanding the use of DNA databases for forensic identification purposes.
Students worked on the problems in two interinstitutional teams. Law students Megan Daugherty and J. Aaron Brown teamed up with students from Georgia Institute of Technology (bioengineering and chemical and biomolecular engineering Ph.D. students and public policy M.S. students), Morehouse School of Medicine (biomedical science Ph.D. and Ph.D./M.D. students), and Emory University (bioscience Ph.D. students). Throughout the course, the student teams defined and investigated the problems and then developed proposed policy resolutions for the problems.
The teams concluded their study of the problems with presentations of proposed policy resolutions to policymakers, practitioners, and faculty. Students have also been invited to present their results on the Inside the Black Box radio show to undergraduate science and engineering ethics classes at Georgia Institute of Technology and to the Intellectual Property Law Society ar GSU Law (podcast available at http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/31358).
They were invited to attend the ABA Intellectual Property Roundtable on patenting genes as guests of the host law firm in Atlanta.
The study also tests a new assessment instrument developed by the study's researchers to evaluate how effective this approach is in fostering problem-solving skills among future professionals.
The principal investigator for the study is Roberta M. Berry, a faculty fellow with the Center and a full-time faculty member at Georgia Institute of Technology. Center faculty member Leslie Wolf is co-principal investigator for the study, and Center Director Charity Scott and faculty member Paul Lombardo are members of the study's Advisory Council. The study's research team spans Georgia Institute of Technology, GSU College of Law, Morehouse School of Medicine, Emory University, Agnes Scott College, and UCLA.

Stroke: The Unaffected Side
Topic Overview
Some people who have had a stroke have problems seeing in some or all of the normal areas of vision. For example, people with left-sided paralysis may have difficulty seeing to the left. If the problem is due to a vision loss, most people learn to make up for this loss by turning their heads. If the person does not turn his or her head to the affected side, that side of the body may be ignored or neglected.
Caregivers may notice signs that the person is ignoring the affected side, such as:
- Mentioning or responding to stimulation only on the unaffected side of the body.
- Using only the unaffected arm or leg.
- Looking only to the environment on the unaffected side.
- Noticing only someone who speaks or approaches from the unaffected side of the body.
- Responding to only half of the objects he or she would normally see, such as eating from just one side of the plate.
- Not recognizing the affected arm and leg as belonging to his or her body and thinking that they belong to someone else.
- Thinking that objects on the affected side are closer or farther away than they really are. The person may bump into furniture or have trouble eating or dressing.
The following tips may be useful when caring for someone who neglects his or her affected side:
- When you are working with the person's affected side, reduce distractions on the unaffected side.
- Place objects that are needed most often on the person's unaffected side. Encourage use of the affected side by placing some objects on that side, prompting the person to use the affected side.
- Remind the person to pay attention to the affected side. Sometimes, attaching a small bell or bright ribbon to the affected arm or leg may act as a reminder.
- Point out landmarks on the person's right and left sides when going places. Remember that the person may look at only one side of the environment, so talk about what's on the person's affected side.
- Give frequent cues to help orient the person to the environment.

BinLaden is dead, we are leaving foreign countries behind to fend for themselves and our military is coming home. Bush's wars are finally over and Romney doesn't have a plan for anything, a five point plan? Do you know what those five points are? No? Well, neither does anybody else. Thus far the only thing that has come out of Romney's mouth is I want his job, I am not going to tell you what I am doing because it is easier to con you that way. I will throw everyone out that I don't like, I will take all the money from SSI and Medicare and put it into something useful, and make everyone pay me to get it back. And for all the women out there, if it isn't legitimate rape you can't get an abortion, and if it is legitimate rape then your pregnancy is a phantom. I will change the name of Obamacare to Romneycare and take out the part where we stop over paying the insurance companies and health care providers. I will send all my companies to China so I don't have to pay minimum wage or taxes, and put all my money into an account overseas so that after I run this country right down the toilet, and flush, then I can take my wife and my mistress and run. OH and, hey everybody who makes over $250 thousand a year, come to the White House and we can through a party at taxpayers expense. Romeny is a joke and his vp isn't worth laughing at

I really do wish that I knew how to describe myself. I am a very colorful person. I can also be very carefree, which ends up not panning out so well all of the time. But I am working on it. I want to become a Medical Laboratory Assistant in the Spring of 2013. I love to sing, dance, flip around, laugh, and I tend to get involved in too many things at once.
But I also have an overwhelming capacity to get tangled up in my feelings. I am not perfect, I try to be, I strive to be, but I am not. I'm far from it. Thankfully, the ones that I love and that love me do not judge me harshly. They are helping me along the way. You know who you are. And I could never convey how thankful I am to you for being by my side and holding me up when I did not have the strength nor the will to.
This has been a long description... but I am going to be doing a lot more writing and posting. Whenever I can.

Adair Solar
Phoenix Solar Installation Company
Apr 23
A recent press release from BusinessWire has cracked the case on why so many Americans are unusually–and unnecessarily–scared of solar panels and the idea of installing anything solar on their homes. According to BusinessWire, it seems that Americans are grossly overestimating the cost of rooftop solar panels, and all kinds of other solar equipment. We're not really sure why this is happening, but it's probably safe to say that there are a couple of factors at work. But take a look at this statistic:
"While only 3% accurately understand that installing solar can cost less than $1,000 upfront, 4 out of 10 U.S. Adults (40%) think it requires $20,000 or more in upfront costs, grossly overestimating the true cost of installing home solar."
WHOA! What the heck is going on out there! Here's the real deal: Solar installations on most homes are very reasonably priced due to the falling cost of solar panels in general, across the entire industry. And to boot, solar tax credits and rebates on both the federal and state levels dramatically reduce the out of pocket cost to everyday consumers and homeowners, dropping the cost to a mere fraction of what it might have been without such government initiatives.
If you are among the three percent of people who understand the true, low cost of solar installations in Phoenix, please enlighten your friends and family. If you are still uncertain about how the cost "really is this low," please give Adair Solar Company in Mesa a call today so one of our highly experienced solar representatives can come to your home free of charge and explain exactly how much you'd be spending for rooftop solar panels in Phoenix.
There's nothing in this world like really understanding something from the inside out. Our fear is that so many Americans think they do understand the real cost of solar, when in fact the actual cost is light years lower than what they think most of the time.
If you're ready for your in-home consultation, dial (480) 827-1162 to schedule your visit today. We look forward to meeting you!

Any Mac people out there?
So, husband and I are plotting our way to upgrade our personal computers.
He has a MacBook Pro from summer '07. I have a MacBook from fall '07. Neither are running at their peak performance. Hubby needs more firepower for his freelance work -- he shoots, edits and uploads video on a consistent basis, and his battery and memory are not passing the test any longer.
So here are our options. Both plans involve a new Pro for him, but different options for me.
1) The upgraded MacBook Pro plan.
Hubby buys new MacBook. I then take his old MacBook Pro and we install new battery (where he is having issues). We then sell my MacBook.
Total cost = $2,149 for new MacBook Pro he wants + cost of installing new battery on old MacBook Pro (let's estimate $100) = $2,249 - money made on MacBook (estimating $250) = cost of about $1,999 plus tax.
2) The new iPad plan.
Hubby buys new MacBook. We then sell his old Macbook Pro and my MacBook. Then we purchase a new 64G iPad for me for personal use, with external keyboard.
Total cost = $2,149 - amount made on old Macs (estimating $750) = $1,399 + cost of iPad and accessories (estimating $800) = $2,199 plus tax.
So either way you cut it, we are looking at about the same price, a difference of about $200.
Keep in mind that I have a Dell laptop on me at all times for work and any heavy duty stuff. And, iPad does have iWork as apps -- so I can essentially work in Word and Excel there if I need to. If I do get an iPad, I'm getting the one with the most memory, so I can rest assured knowing that all my music, photos, documents, etc. can fit. And with the new iOS coming out this month, I can print wirelessly and whatnot. But having hubby's old Pro means I have access to a lot of software and have a lot more computing power. But I'm not sure that I really need all that.
So, what would you do?

I think I would go with the iPad if you dont need all the functionality. I have friends with the iPad and love it. I am thinking of getting one when the new upgrade comes out (whenever that may be)
- November 3, 2010 at 2:16 PM

I'd go with plan #1, because I think I'd go nuts trying to do too much on an iPad (not that I have any experience with them) and I wouldn't want to have to use the Dell for personal stuff. Nothing against Dell -- I have a Dell laptop for work, too, but I hate Windows and really only use it for work.

I'd go with the upgraded MacBook Pro. I myself am not 100% sold on the iPad. I really think the current version is not fast enough for me and you know Apple will unveil something faster and better as soon as you get one.
It may not seem you need a lot of computing power now but it's always nice to have some when you do need it. ;-)

Thanks for the great insight everyone! I think I've decided to go with option #1. The more I think about it, the more I'd like to have the refurbished Pro for blogging, web surfing, and my freelance writing.
But I DO still want an iPad, someday. - November 4, 2010 at 4:31 PM

I know this is probably too late, but hey, I just started reading your blog today! Rather than tell you what I would do (of course it would be to upgrade to the best products currently available) I want to know what you DID! So, what did you do? I am just dying to know. I am glad that you are all Mac though. I am turning into a fanboy. I have a MacBook Pro, an iPad, iPhone... it's gross!
Let me know what you decided to do... (And I do know that you said you "think" you've decided... but not for sure here. Hope to hear from you soon! - April 18, 2011 at 10:16 PM

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
LONDON, Sept. 4, 2012 The camaraderie of being part of a team is a draw to many athletes and can be traced to the origins of why many embarked on lengthy careers, staying the course even when things are not always going their way.
"Nobody's in this by themselves," he added. "It takes a community to do anything."
Rodriguez said he served his lone Air Force tour stationed on the Greek island of Crete. He elected to have his leg removed in 1992 after an untreatable tumor was discovered. It was then that he discovered wheelchair fencing and began his career.
During his bouts today -- in which he unsuccessfully faced competitors from Hungary, Hong Kong, France and Russia -- the Paralympian fencer said, he didn't feel quite as focused as he could be.
"I was trying to be in the right place at the right time," he said. "This is definitely a game of wits and speed. I definitely had the preparation. I guess I'm just getting a little bit old, to put it bluntly."
Rodriguez said he stepped away from the fencing in 2004, but later the appeal of coaching young, talented fencers brought him back.
"Between 2008 and now, I kind of got coached back into the [fencing] circuit," Rodriguez said. "Basically, what happened was we have a couple of younger athletes that really piqued my interest, and I wanted to see them do well."
Rodriguez noted that as he went to some of the same tournaments and had some success, such as taking the gold medal in Brazil's zonal championships, he built a rapport with the younger athletes. "I was trying to give them a little extra fodder, and give them the benefit of my experience and knowledge," he said.
Hearing the national anthem at the championship was amazing, Rodriguez said, and also served to inspire him to return to the game.
"I wish I could do that here, but I don't think it's going to happen for me," he said. "It's great to be part of something bigger than myself."
Rodriguez said his goals for the Paralympic Games were to perform the best he could, be a good representative of the United States, and spend time with old athlete friends from other countries, noting that he enjoys sharing the experience with all of the athletes, volunteers and coaches.
Rodriguez also talked about his preparation for Paralympic competition and the advice he gives to younger competitors.
"I think before, the key to my success was overtraining," he said. "I've got to a point in my career where overtraining is definitely detrimental to my being able to stay on the mark. What I [would] tell anyone these days is the most important thing is being able to find a good, healthy sports regimen and not overdoing it."
The Paralympic fencer also said "it's a very, very fine edge to ride on when you're training for something like the Paralympics or any elite sport.
"You have to take care of yourself," he continued. "If you overdo it, then you can't do your personal best. You've got to stay in good physical shape, good mental shape, and just be consistent."
Rodriguez said he is his own worst critic when it comes to examining his own performances.
"I think, some of us, maybe more than others, are [tough on ourselves]," he said. "I tend to be self-critical, and I want to do better, and make my coach … [and] teammates happy -- make myself happy."
At the end of the day, the Air Force veteran said, he's just happy to represent his country in the Paralympic Games.
"I feel like I've gotten a lot of support," Rodriguez said. "I looked out in the stands and saw several members of our team -- not just people in the fencing community, but from other sports as well. So that really pushed me to do the best I could."

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or hCG, is a hormone produced by pregnant women that regulates metabolic function. Currently, this diet is getting a lot of hype. Is it another magic bullet to help people lose weight? Does it really work? And most importantly, is it safe?
What is the hCG Diet?
There are hCG diet drops and hCG diet injections. While a prescription is required for injections and monitoring by a doctor is recommended, drops are available over the counter. Side effects like headache and leg cramps are the most common, but more severe ones may occur. In conjunction with hormone injections, dieters must adhere to a 500-calorie diet every day. Usually, a radically low calorie intake will cause the body to burn valuable muscle. But hCG supporters claim the hypothalamus will regulate the burning of fat stores for the additional calories needed to function. The hormone helps to suppress the appetite a little, but dieters are also very likely to binge when they're hungry, causing weight gain.
hCG Diet Dangers
The FDA DOES NOT approve of hCG for weight loss. The hormone causes the body to burn unhealthy fat rather than any muscle, but not before releasing any valuable nutrients from the fat into the blood stream. This results in the release of toxins from the cells as well, which can cause headaches and feeling sick for the first couple of days. hCG is approved for fertility treatments and is therefore not illegal, but in conjunction with a 500 calorie diet the FDA refuses to stand behind it as a method for weight loss.
hCG Diet Foods
Though there is a 500-calorie limit, the hCG diet recommends that those 500 calories come from high fiber content. Very lean meats and vegetables are essentially the only thing foods allowed. Sugar is a definite no-no.
While the official hCG diet is popular right now, there is a reason many doctors, the FDA and health specialists are saying it is not the answer to lose weight. Over the last 50 years, there is one consistent method for losing weight: sticking to a healthy meal plan of fresh produce, lean protein and healthy fats, and getting plenty of exercise. This is certainly the most natural and healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off.

A Warm Glimpse
Here's a debut album that's been getting a lot of buzz in the "weird metal" circles. Farmakon's album "A Warm Glimpse" does a fine job of building off of a solid foundation of Opeth, then adding in doses of thrash and jazz. As is expected when talking about off-the-wall, progressive metal, they are from Finland. I'm sure that the band is getting sick of the Opeth comparisons, but the basis is very valid, and furthermore, is that a bad thing? Don't answer that, I think they're a fine band to be compared to. This basis for comparison is mostly grounded in two main areas: the vocals and the guitar progressions. With so many bands doing the clean-and-quiet/growled-and-heavy song structure, blaming that aspect of Farmakon's style on Opeth would just be overkill. Besides, while an all-out thrasher is always welcomed, I appreciate a band who can continually change things up while remaining interesting. Anyway, the growled vocals are a dead-on Akerfeldt. On the other hand, the excellent clean vocals of Marko Eskola are all his own. About the guitar progressions, they tend to borrow from that style of unconventional riff structure that Opeth has patented. (Think of the riffs in the chorus of "Godhead's Lament".) But screw it, good metal is good metal.
The album's production is strong, clear, and crisp - nothing to complain about. As for musicianship, Farmakon are composed of skilled players, as is a requisite for any band that attempts jazzy metal. As for my take on the jazz inclusion, it's pretty hit-or-miss. I'm not one of those metalheads that gets wet at the first crack of odd time signatures and other indicators that people schooled in music theory would be able to name. (Hell, my musical education is pretty much limited to when I tune my guitar down to D or C.) For me, some bands can pull it off seamlessly, like Atheist, others just lose me in their vision. With these guys, some songs it fits in just fine, but other times it seems like Farmakon are being weird for the sake of being weird.
Songs of note include Loosely of Amoebas, which transitions from ripping thrash, to silly Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff, to soulful wah-induced leads, and back again a few times. Pearl of My Suffering is a superb, ambitious song that deftly weaves the acoustic guitar into an pure metal fabric. Flavoured Numerology draws in the thrash, with a wink and a nod towards The Leper Affinity. Then there's Stretching Into Me, which ends in a suitable fashion, but then inexplicably tacks on an extra 90 seconds of totally out-of-place outro, with Carlos Santana-like soloing and a hilirious growl right at the end.
If A Warm Glimpse is any indication, Farmakon are a band that have an incredible album in their future. This album isn't that incredible album, but it's still pretty damn good. Once they can successfully blend in the jazz elements, or decide to abandon them altogether, look out. But they are a young band and they'll figure that out in the next album or two. Recommended.

North Carolina and Kentucky met as top-five teams last season, and they've already lost six games apiece this season.
The blue bloods will resume their series in 2013-14, starting with a game in Chapel Hill on Dec. 14 and continuing with a rematch at Rupp Arena in 2014-15.
"I think it's a great series for both schools and our fans as well as college basketball fans period," UNC coach Roy Williams said in a statement. "North Carolina and Kentucky have great traditions and, regardless of who you pull for, fans mark this as a must-see game on the schedule."
The UNC-Kentucky series restarted in 2000-01 and was active for the next dozen years, with the Tar Heels going 6-6 during the regular-season matchups and losing to the Wildcats in the 2011 Elite Eight. Kentucky was No. 1 last season when it held on for a 73-72 victory against No. 5 North Carolina thanks to Anthony Davis' block of a John Henson jumper in the closing seconds.
The Wildcats went on to win the national championship, and a wrist injury to point guard Kendall Marshall hurt the Tar Heels' chances of earning a rematch in the title game. Kansas beat UNC in the Elite Eight and Ohio State in the Final Four before losing to Kentucky in the NCAA tournament final.
The Tar Heels lead the all-time series 22-13. Kentucky has won three of the last four meetings, and before that the Tar Heels won five straight. That ended a four-game winning streak in the series for the Wildcats dating back to the 2000-01 restart. Before that, the Tar Heels' victory in the 1995 Final Four was their sixth straight in the series.

So another day another dollar.
Maybe not check up shares of Family Dollar they are getting hammered today after adding cigarettes and soft drinks.
Actually hurt the margins in the last quarter they thought maybe it would bring people end but in essence they were offering expensive products that then hurt the -- and so is the fall.
A buying opportunity for you or is it time to retreat to the sidelines won't have somebody knows about all the dollar names -- -- Fox Business exclusive with Anthony to come back.
-- is the managing director and senior analyst at BB&T.
Capital and and let's tackle.
Family Dollar first.
Obviously they are struggling today.
They have numbers out that indicated that an attempt to broaden their aperture figure out other ways to bring people in the stores hurt their margins.
What was their biggest mistake.
Well I'm not sure if I would characterize his mistake but they -- brought more consumable items into their stores more food more health and beauty care items tobacco products.
Hope help her the only assumption that would drive a lot more store traffic and that's start it's been very successful for Dollar General which essentially the market leader of the problem is.
If they're just not getting enough incremental velocity in terms of not incremental footsteps of its they're -- they're taking a hit to the gross margin they're not -- and making it up.
By leveraging their fixed expense.
I -- you could argue that they did what Wal-Mart has tried to do in the past to sort of bring in door busters where you know you're gonna lose on the margins but.
Perhaps somebody comes in to buy the expensive item where -- -- on it.
That meeting Wal-Mart might lose on it.
You would end up getting a bunch of other things in your shopping cart.
But because things are all -- dollar in many of these stores it's not such an opportunity no matter what people -- right.
Well I think that.
-- bet that really kind of is the -- you've got to get the consumer across -- you've got to get him by the higher margin.
Items when they're in the store buying those low margin consumables and so far and we -- really kind of struggle with that I mean we've seen other retailers.
Who can do that dollar general's -- -- go to that dollar tree.
Has been pretty good at that as well then we doubt seems like they're a little bit behind what you've got a hold on Family Dollar at the moment what would make you change that call.
Well I think if we start to see that they were getting some traction.
-- said we're getting consumers to each cross shop the store I needed -- much about.
Hit to their to their gross margins -- favorite name in the space.
Right now our favorite name is dollar tree for a few different reasons and one is that.
Dot -- dollar tree basically everything's a dollar we're Dollar General -- we don't have multiple price points so because of that dollar -- -- some extent.
I doubt trees insulated from competition with Dollar General -- -- -- -- doubt as well with Wal-Mart and into -- some of the other but look at our stock at this present and that well I Mena is this a buying opportunity.
I think it really it's firfer for dollar tree I mean and hoping that we relate but doctors we just feel that the company -- much better.
Long term growth potential -- mean.
If they've only got 45 or are a hundred or so stores where family -- -- over -- 500.
And Dollar General has over 101000.
Dollar tree also just recently bought a company -- and has gotten any sort of convict -- up to a thousand.
You could argue there's an there's a store -- called -- -- in all suddenly -- go in there and I see that -- -- -- lower price points there again it's not a dollar store but there's competition growing in this space.
Well you know I think competitions northern part of the game I mean I think that one of the great things about that the dollar stores offer is.
You know very low price points.
Particularly relative to -- supermarkets -- drug school -- drugstores convenience stores.
I may also offer convenience that just so many of these stores are easy to shop and they're easy to get in what.
So tell you Anthony that -- over the past year for -- while the dollar stores were outperforming the S&P retail index of all retailers and that around mid September.
He saw the crossing of of the two lines and suddenly the dollar store started to underperform.
Retail which of course is in the form of a spider retail ETF that we could show you in in -- in a way to be able to say what what happened in September.
You know it's gonna cut -- companies for a few different factors one is that Wal-Mart.
Has always been sort of the you know 800 pound -- that would go there.
Retail that -- words about.
Has started saying you know we're gonna really start to go after these -- stores now are having seven -- Internet for awhile and -- and much success with it.
-- right around that same time you -- you had dollar tree reports and disappointing numbers.
Dollar General reports and disappointing numbers -- family dollar and so I think a lot of -- -- thing you know these are great stocks hide in particularly during the Great Recession yeah and coming out of that but maybe now the trades over.
Giving it away -- I was gonna say maybe that's it actually positive sign on X dollar stores.
You cover a lot of other retail what's really -- attracting -- -- right now well.
You know one retailer accident reported very strong numbers just this morning -- Pier 1 Imports a home furnishings retailer it's a great.
So long term turnaround story where they've had new management whose complete overhaul their merchandising.
And that has led to.
Dramatic improvements in terms of sales productivity they've also got a very exciting e-commerce opportunity.
But it out candles and quicker you can never have enough of that absolutely at -- at -- debt particularly in improving housing.
Good to see you Anthony thank you very much Anthony to -- -- as the managing director and senior analyst fifteen GMT capital yeah --

We are showing you the Canadian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
What's New BQ?
Rapha has the fortune of partnering with a handful of the better cycling retailers around the world. Housed in a newly built, state-of-the-art office in Little Rock, Competitive Cyclist continues to be at the forefront as an online cycling retailer. Beyond their innovative saddle demo program, they are some of the first that we've known to really use video reviews well to bring products to life.
In an area called the Service Course, Competitive's fearless leader, Brendan Quirk is the honest and sometimes provoking voice behind the "What's New" weekly report of trends, happenings, and insider cycling information that makes our sport and this business so entertaining. Chances are Mr. Quirk's keyboard will bring more openness or opinion to any number of topics than some people are wanting to face, but that is why "What's New" is so great. Blame it on his New York upbringing, or his front of the field mentality, but Brendan can be counted on each week for some of the more gratifying reports in the business.
If by chance you're blessed with ample time, you can also find musings from the Belgian-tested Joe Parkin and follow Michael Barry all season long via Competitive's Service Course.
I found this little gem of inspiration a couple of weeks back. Grab a snack and enjoy.

When I first read the headline, I thought Rapha was partnering with Bicycle Quarterly!
That would be a match made in heaven.
I'm a big fan of Competitive Cyclist as well.

Wow! it took a British compagny to show me a part of the cycling history of Quebec! Never heard of such race. The images are really amazing too. I'm wondering how you guys find out about this movie and about that race… Was it well known in the 60's?

Fabulous film, Slate, thanks for digging it up. How on earth did you run into it? Some of those crashes were pretty horrifying, and some pretty gnarly road surfaces, too. Hard men, for sure.
Otis Rubottom

A nice little detail is that Brendan has a framed print of Francois Minard's chart showing Napoleon's march into and out of Russia depicted as a data visualization, representing the loss of troops over time/distance covered. This graphic is thought by some to be the greatest data visualization ever created, for the sheer accuracy, simplicity and impact of it, not to mention how ahead of its time it was. Apparently Brendan's an Edward Tufte fan--all the more reason to give him props!

My smoky eye melts off my eyes during the summer. Is there an easier version of a bold look where I can use less product so it doesn't migrate as much?
Use a gel-based liner that smudges out with your fingers or brush, and pair with a matching shadow applied on top with a small-tipped brush. Powder wears better in the heat since there is nowhere for it to run, so it really locks in your eye makeup.

Sainsbury's Finance: top personal loan rates fall to 5.9%
If you need a personal loan for £7,500, Sainsbury's is the new market leader with a rate of less than 6%!
With a number of bank holidays on the horizon, many of us may be thinking of doing some decorating. However, if you are planning some more significant home improvements, how you pay for that work needs to be thought through carefully.
Saving up will take a long time and an overdraft is often simply not enough to cover the expense. One of the best ways to get large amounts of money quickly is an unsecured personal loan.
Unsecured personal loans
An unsecured personal loan (where you don't need to put up any collateral as security) can come in various sizes and can be taken out over a number of years, depending on how much you think you can afford to pay back in fixed repayments each month.
If you are in the market for an unsecured personal loan then you have chosen a great time to start looking - some lenders are embarking on a rates war. M&S Money cut its personal loan rate back in January to 6% and now Sainsbury's has gone one step further.
For loans of £7,500 and above taken out over three years Sainsbury's is offering a typical rate of 5.9% making the retailer the market leader against high-street heavyweight banks like HSBC and NatWest.
The catch is you have to be a Nectar card holder and have used it within the last six months to apply. But given it's free to get a Nectar card, and there's loads of places to collect Nectar points besides Sainsbury's, it's not the most testing of hoops to jump through.
Borrowing £7,500
To see how other lenders are competing take a look at our round up of the best loans around for borrowing £7,500 over three years, ranked by lowest typical APR.

*Offer available for existing customers only
You can see that supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's are giving banks a run for their money but the competition is close. For a loan of £7,500 you could be paying between £682.80 and £914.64 in interest payments, depending on whether you get the best rate.
When taking out a loan you should bear in mind that the advertised rate is not necessarily the rate you will be given. Lenders are only obliged to give the listed price to 51% of people who apply while the rest can expect to receive a higher rate. So if you have any adverse information on your credit history you can expect to be part of the 49% that miss out.
One way to keep on top of your credit profile is to take advantage of a free 30-day trial with Experian, via lovemoney.com. You should also read What REALLY damages your credit rating.
Spread the cost
If you need to spread that cost over a longer term than three years, you can cut your monthly repayments, as the table below - again for a £7,500 loan - demonstrates.

Typical APR |
Total amount repayable |
Monthly repayment |

**Offer available for existing customers only
You can see from the tables that it costs less each month to take out a loan for a longer period of time. So if you really needed it, taking out £10,000 over five years would cost less in monthly repayments than it does to take out a loan of £7,500 over three years.
Of course, the larger the loan the bigger the total amount you'll pay. What's more, if you wanted to pay this debt off early you may not be able to afford it or be worse off as there is often a penalty for early repayment on personal loans. So make sure you only apply for as much as you need.
Other options
Of course an unsecured personal loan is just one of the many borrowing options available to you.
If you are looking to borrow less than £5,000 then a credit card is probably your best bet. If you get a 0% purchase card you will avoid paying interest for a few months, giving you a bit of breathing space and ensuring every penny of your repayments goes directly towards reducing your debt.
With a credit card you also have more flexibility, as you can pay off the debt ahead of schedule and not be charged for it!

4 Magical Disney Classicplatform14 | 01/05/2007 | See all platform14's reviews (5)Yet another in Disney's platinum special edition series, Peter Pan is the most surprisingly sparse in terms of bonus content - the usual extensive documentaries and classic Walt Disney shows from the original time period is replaced by shorter featurettes available on previous editions and more kids games than ever. A big wastage of disc space is on Disc 2 where the film is repeated AGAIN except with "read along" description (somehow this is different to subtitles)The film though is as entertaining as ever; annoyingly, the quest for superior film quality leaves some colours looking denser than they should and Hook's once vibrant red coat looking more of a maroon.Still, if you haven't yet upgraded the film onto next generation video already or if you don't currently own it, a platinum edition is obviously the best way to go for it. It probably won't be rereleased for at least 7 years so go for it!

4 Flies pretty highRJNeb2 | 29/06/2010 | See all RJNeb2's reviews (551)Maybe not top rank Disney, but this animated take on the J.M. Barrie classic has its charms. A labour of love for Disney himself, the material has been thoroughly Americanized, but some of the characterisation is delightful (namely Hook and his crocodile nemesis and especially the feisty little Tinker Bell) and it looks as magical as the story it tells.

This route starts as an obvious thin-hands crack on the south-west overhang of Supremacy Rock. The crack leans right and overhangs significantly. The key to this climb is footwork, unless you have small hands (I do) which make the climb easier. On my first attempt I sliced the back of one hand open, however, and only completed the route after coming down and taping up. I recommend taping up for your first go at it.
Fingers to thin-hands. This can be led on stoppers alone, but will be pumpy without cams. You hang out longer trying to place good stoppers. The route can be TR'd from fixed anchors and gear if you walk up the rock from behind, to the East end of the South side of the rock. There would be a large swing potential if you fall low, but it seems to be quite safe.
"Pumpy without cams." ??!!! Steep stuff. Lots of history here for a short route. Candidate for the first 5.11 to go free in Colorado, although some controversy surrounded Ament's initial claim to have freed it. (He subsequently led the pitch without the "few moments' rest" on a piton.) Peter Croft onsighted the thing... free solo.
Agreed. I was able to garner a plenty-sufficient pump on TR. I think of what it must have been like placing slung square-sided nuts back in the day and am reminded yet again how spoiled we are today. Generation SLCD. Not coincidentally, that day of Ament's "FFA" also saw the introduction, by the visiting Don Whilans and Royal Robbins, of clean pro to Eldorado. Various of Ament's books (High Over Boulder, for one) provide memorable images of that day. A trio of climbing legends on Ruper.
Eldorado Canyon : Free Climbing as Ancient Greece : Western Civilization.
Definitely tape up before you get on! I took two scary falls and also sliced the backs of both hands as a result. Sharp rock. I wonder if climbs w_ll ever get WT and WOT grades in the future? :) Killer climb though. Inspired by Jeff Acheys book "Climb" to give it a try. First lead was with hammer and pitons according to it.
The first photo here is hilarious! It reminds me of that famous photo of John Sherman apparently soloing some desperate Aussie line with a full bottle of beer on one hand... Thanks, Mic!
Being Okies from SoIll with no jamming skills back in the mid-70s we used to layback it.
Insanely Awesome. I consider myself a fairly strong crack climber, but this thing whooped my ass something proper. This is the first Eldo 11 I've tried to lead, and now is the nostalgic ground of my first real whips on gear. I'll be back for it. I refuse to consider myself a real climber until I can solo this climb in flip flops.
I was pleased to TR this thing, more years ago than I'll admit, with only one fall down low. The swing was memorable and fun! My one-legged partner, on the other hand, did it free and clean. I still don't have an excuse!
I climbed Supremacy Crack one morning in the spring of 1965, soon after Dave Rearick discovered it and showed it to me. I did it with a very loose top rope. I had very little experience with hand-jams, so I really didn't quite know what to do. I didn't much try the crack that day with Rearick, because I was terrified of the big swing if I fell. Soon after, though, I went up there just to show the climb to a few other friends, such as Bob Culp and Tex Bossier. No one really wanted to try it even. Because my biggest fear was the swing on the rope if I fell, I could hardly focus on the crack. But I took Rearick's advice and simply practiced the swing a couple times to get over the fear of it. Then I could pay attention solely to the crack. I soon got the hang of how to jam my hands and went right up that morning with Roger. He belayed me and was surprised to see me go so quickly and smoothly up the crack. That was the first ascent. In the fall of 1966, a little over a year later, I climbed Ruper with Don Whillans, my legendary British friend, who pioneered so many great climbs in Wales and elsewhere in England. Royal Robbins was with us, and I had the thought one of them might want to make the first lead of Supremacy. We walked up there, and neither wanted to try it, but they insisted I try. I had not thought about it at all, but to make a long story short I led up and made it a full body length past the crux, to the big bomber handjam. Pitons don't go into this crack very well. I had no nuts or Friends or any type of cam... which DO go in very well and easily. But I hung there and tried to get in a piton. It went in part way, but the crack didn't taper, and it stopped half way in but not set well. I had to hammer it out, and this sort of thing went on, until I was really tired. When the next piton got stuck again, half way in but not very good, I decided to clip into it, and I took some tension on the piton to recover strength. Once I got the piton in, I led up the remainder of the crack solidly. If I'd had a Friend or nut, I could have easily placed it. Oh well. It wasn't a perfect lead, but Royal sanctioned it and thought it was close enough to count. I later returned and climbed it without any sort of rest. I have never cared to set any records, because in fact I could climb the crack ten times per day, if I wanted, but at a casual rate, now and then returning to the crack, I have done over 60 ascents of the crack, quite a number of which were leads. Most people don't realize the shoes we had back then, how bad they actually were, although this climb doesn't really matter, in terms of shoes. But only pitons and a hammer made it much more difficult. And the general consciousness was such that we were not nearly as trained as climbers are today... who grow up in rock gyms. Supremacy was a high standard for its day. The right kind of spirits among today's elite recognize that those were different times, and that 5.11 in the mid-1960s might be comparable to 5.15 today. It was the top of the standard. When Peter Croft, a master crack climber, free soloed Supremacy, he phoned me and complimented me for such a great route. He was fully aware of the significance of doing it back when I did. That kind of generosity has always impressed me. Peter also phoned me on another occasion when he finally repeated a boulder route of mine in Yosemite (Camp 4). He had worked for a long time on what they named "Ament's Arete" and was very happy to finally figure it out. A small point. I would not refer to Supremacy as a climb of "thin hands." Maybe that is true right at the crux, but certainly not all the way. It's a climb much about footwork on an overhanging wall, and hands in a crack for inward support as feet take the weight.
More stories, Pat!
Great story and historical background regarding this climb. Thanks, Pat!
Mic-Dude! Those shorts are positively erotic....

Our Price: $1,950.00
Please contact us to place a special order for this item, or with questions about availability and lead times.
Guns can only be shipped to a location within the USA that holds an FFL (Federal Firearms License) - this can be your local gun shop, pawn shop, sporting goods store, etc. Your local gun dealer will then handle the transfer of the firearm to you.
Please ensure that you have familiarized yourself with the process before placing a gun order:
The Barrett Rec 7 rifle is currently available by special order, with an estimated lead time from Barrett of 6 months. Please call us at 877-446-8370 or e-mail us for questions about this Barrett rifle.
The Barret model REC7 piston operated rifle system 223 Rem/5.56 Nato is a semi-auto rifle with a 16" chrome-lined barrel and a A2 style flash hider. Included is two 30-round magazines and a soft case.
Under the familiar exterior lies an evolutionary design that few can match. REC7 rifles are made for those who value quality, dependability and performance and for those who don't have the option to fail.
The REC7's operating system was designed to be soldier-proof, the highest accolade as to which a firearm design can aspire. A minimal number of parts and a clean-running piston system add up to a low-maintenance design with increased reliability. The piston operated system keeps heat and fouling out of the receiver, which means less time cleaning and more time putting bullets where they need to go. Cooler parts last longer, cooler guns run longer. REC7 was made to run hard.
The 17-4 stainless piston transferring energy to the bolt carrier is the most robust in the industry. Its hardened one piece piston is superior to multi-component designs. The bolt carrier, machined from a monolithic block of 8620 steel features an integral piston strike face — no separate gas key to shoot loose and another industry first.
The REC7 gas block is chrome lined and the gas regulator is nitrided for added durability, with a 1913 rail machined into the hardened billet gas block. Operators can configure the REC7 with iron sights or run slick for use with optics. The gas regulator position is firmly held in place with a substantial detent that cannot get knocked out of position with hard use.
The REC7's forged 7075 aluminum upper and lower receivers are Type 3 hardcoat anodized. The mil-spec lower receiver houses an ultra-dependable single stage trigger. The upper receiver supports a free-floated, 16-inch, hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel with M4 feed ramps. The A2 style flash hider reduces muzzle flash and acts as a standard interface for accessories and support gear.
No matter what your mission, the REC7 can get the job done. Whether that mission means putting venison on the table, taking home a trophy at the local rifle match, serving a high-risk warrant, or jumping out of a C-130 at zero dark thirty — REC7 has you covered.

SOURCE China Marine Food Group Limited
SHISHI, China, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Marine Food Group Limited (NYSE MKT: CMFO) ("China Marine" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of Mingxiang® seafood-based snack foods, Hi-Power® marine algae-based beverages and a distributor of frozen marine catch, today announced that, on October 21, 2013, its board of directors concluded that voluntarily delisting the Company's common stock from the NYSE MKT and voluntarily deregistering from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are in the best interests of the Company. The Company is eligible to deregister its common stock because it has fewer than 300 stockholders of record.
Accordingly, the Company intends to file on or about November 1, 2013 a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NYSE MKT and to deregister its common stock from Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company also intends to file on or about November 11, 2013 a Form 15 with the SEC to suspend the Company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Immediately upon the filing of Form 15, the Company will no longer be obligated to file certain Exchange Act reports with the SEC. Following delisting and deregistering, the Company presently intends to provide quarterly and annual information regarding its performance through postings to its website.
It is expected that delisting will take effect on or about November 11, 2013, and at that time the Company's shares will no longer be traded on the NYSE MKT.
The Company's board of directors determined, after careful consideration, that voluntarily delisting and deregistering is in the overall best interests of the Company. The following factors were considered, in addition to others, by the board of directors in taking this action:
Pengfei Liu, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "These actions are designed to reduce our operating costs. The consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company, which includes significant costs and management time associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of being a NYSE MKT listed company."

Just the right size for my little birds

Comments about Sunflower Birdbath:
Nice color easy for the birds to see lol...
Cheap birdbath
By Jo
from N. California
About Me Budget Shopper
After reading the reviews I thought the birdbath would be better. It does look cute but it's too light weight and shallow. The stake doesn't even connect together well, so it's very wobbly and unstable. Haven't seen birds on it yet, and I don't know if it will hold up if they do land on it. It's really cheaply made even for 5 bucks. Didn't want to hassle with sending it back so I will have to deal with it, but definitley will not order again.
bright colors, easy to use

Wonderful Birdbath :)

I bought this especially for my daughter's small garden , as a surprise and she absolutely loves it !The birds come each day and she can watch them from her window . It's the *perfect* size and adds so much color .I am so pleased that I found this !
By Me4sure
from Cincinnati Ohio
It is too low to the ground to be a birdbath..and too shallow to plant seeds in even herbs. It will probably be used to feed the squirrels in the winter.
