- Ben M. said...
I grew up outside of Newport, OR and your pictures are somehow even better than my memories.
- Rick said...
I drive the gorge all the time, and I have never gotten tired of the scenery. Great write up here.
- Mar said...
correct me if im wrong but this is PRODUCT PLCEMENT. pictures asr simply spoiled by JEEP
shame - Avi Abrams said...
Mar - nope. This is simply the car I drive. I happen to like how it looks :)
- Ruben said...
The pictures are awesome, beautiful, but maybe the title is a little bit deceitful.
Two roads in oregon for part one, can I conclude there will be a LOOOOOOOOT of parts with the same title :P ?
I will stay connected - Thanks - Avi Abrams said...
Ruben - this title is to kick off the series. Hopefully a long one.
- said...
Just a small edit: it's "The Dalles," not just "Dalles." I think it's silly too, but that's how it is.
- said...
In addition to the driveable parts of the Columbia River Highway, it's well worth checking out the Mosier Twin Tunnels just East of Hood River. This is a closed section of the road that was recently repaved and opened for walking and biking and it's spectacular.
- said...
I drove up to Oregon a few years back, and the roads had so many twists and turns that by the end of the trip I was muttering things like, "They couldn't have just blown a hole through that freaking mountain?!"
Very pretty, though. - Chris Z. said...
Glad you enjoyed the drives and scenery! It's a prime reason DW and I moved back from Texas (aside from family and the extreme dislike of hot/humid weather). Great pics!
- realdoozy said...
I lived for a year in Portland, and often drove through the gorge just to appreciate its great beauty. There is an old road and a new road, and I highly recommend the "old" road for its great beauty and lack of traffic. I always thought it was a shame that Mark Twain wasn't born there instead of Missouri. Another beautiful spot on the Oregon coast is Cape Foulweather near Depoe Bay. Named by Capt James Cook, it is the highest point on the coast and you can watch the whale migration easily from there.
- Bonnie said...
In 2006 I got to visit a lovely little place called Langlois along 101. From there I climbed Cape Blanco light.
I wish I could live in OR. Enough of TX heat! - said...
Have you thought about posting roads form maybe the southern hemisphere or even europe. i mean they are beautiful photos but there are more roads than ones in America, Im from New Zealand and we have some stunning roads here, and i know that the UK does to. I suggest a title change.
- Avi Abrams said...
All other countries and locations will come in the next part of the series. This is only the first part. Stay tuned.
- said...
Nada que envidiar a mi tierra.. Chile tiene parajes bastante similares a los mostrados en las fotos... salu2
- Debo Hobo said...
Have Jeep and ready to go!
- said...
most beautiful roads in America maybe?
There are way more beautiful roads in the rest of the world - The EGE said...
I've actually walked under the cliff overhang of Latourell Falls. The falls are even cooler when you're between them and the cliff.
- said...
These are like images taken in paradise. Very very interesting and fun to travel through... I'd love to have a visit there:)
I just imagine if it was possible to ride a limo on these roads (I'm sure that's not that easy, but...) what the excitement level would be:) - Alex Hardie said...
you know, this series would make an awesome series of books: www.blurb.com
- said...
oregon have nothing on norway, every road in sunmörsalpene blows that road out of the water
- said...
I don't get the negative comments , if you don't have something positive to say , keep them to yourself . These are beautifull pics of a beautifull state and some of us appreciate it.
- said...
These may be the most beautiful roads in Oregon, or perhaps the USA, but they are merely "pretty" compared to truly spectacular stretches of tarmac like the Stelvio Pass in Italy or the magnificent A82 through Glencoe in Scotland.
- Avi Abrams said...
Bernard Curry - I agree, Europe certainly has roads that trump these... This summer I took a sports car across the Alps, stay tuned for updates.
- Chester Cool said...
Driving may be inspiring by seeing these wonderful paths that encourage you to help mother nature to preserve it and this is so wonderful. 3 stars for this blog...

And the roads of Medellin & Bogota, Colombia?

Product Details
We couldn't be more excited about the newest addition to our fabric family: silk dupioni. The finest dupioni is known for its unique lustre and textured finish that's caused by the presence of silk fibers on the surface of the fabric (this irregular finish points to the natural beauty and exceptional quality of the silk). The epitome of elegance, it works for any season and photographs beautifully. With strategically placed darts and a cummerbund that arcs slightly beneath the bustline, this dress flatters every figure with an exceptional fit and a timeless style that's hard to find (so the wear-again potential is kind of major).

* Software enhanced.

IM compatibility
Works with Skype™, Windows Live™ Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger, and other popular instant messaging applications.
Smoother. Sharper. Richer. Clearer.
Logitech Fluid Crystal™ Technology. It's what makes a Logitech webcam better. It's smoother video, sharper pictures, richer colors and clearer sound in real-world conditions.
Logitech HD webcams. High-def yourself.
Your webcam is more than just another gadget. And it's why your old (non-HD) webcam and the built-in webcam in your computer just won't cut it. Why? What other device lets you look your loved ones in the eyes and tell them how you feel, tell them a joke, tell (and show) them what your three-year-old just created out of cardboard, glue and glitter? Sharing, socializing, connecting with the people you care about. That's what makes a webcam different. And Logitech HD webcams are about sharing your life—but bigger, better, brighter, smoother. High-def yourself. See how easy it is to upload HD videos to Facebook™ and YouTube™ . |
Say it bigger. Say it better.The beauty of video calling over, say, the phone, is that you can see and hear your loved ones. But until just recently you couldn't make an HD video call. Because the name of the game in video calling is crunching down millions of pixels—the smallest unit of a digital image—every second and sending it from your computer, over the Internet, and to your buddy. Up until now, bandwidth and CPU constraints made HD video calling impossible for nearly all PCs (desktop and laptop) connecting to the Internet through traditional networks. That's all changed. Today you can make an HD 720p video call with a Logitech HD webcam. So go ahead. HD yourself. With a Logitech HD webcam. |
RightSound technology. Sound right. Naturally.
A better way to video callWebcams let you see and talk to your friends and family—wherever they are. But with most webcams, you need to wear a headset or you'll get a distracting echo. |
The echo explanationYou're on a video call with your friend. You're both using webcams with integrated microphones and typical computer speakers. Here's where the trouble happens: |
The RightSound™ fixYou use a webcam with RightSound technology. The software identifies the sound wave featuring your friend's voice as it comes through the speakers. When your microphone picks it up, the software filters out the repeated wave so it doesn't get sent back to your friend. And that means they don't hear an echo. |
Two-way talkOther webcams eliminate echo by muting your microphone when the person on the other end is speaking. It's kind of like talking on a walkie-talkie—not a very natural way to have a chat. RightSound technology doesn't mute your mic so you can both talk whenever you want. It makes your video calls just like talking to someone in the same room. |
Image quality. It's more than just megapixels.
Seeing the smile on your grandson's face or the glitter off your daughter's engagement ring is so much better than a phone call. And a webcam can really make these experiences possible, even when you're separated by thousands of miles. But getting the right webcam is more than just a matter of finding the one with the most megapixels. |
The truth about megapixelsA higher-megapixel sensor doesn't equal high-quality images on its own, so it's important not to just look at megapixels and forget about the other aspects of the camera. |
The right lensThe lens is what captures the light that gets turned into the image by the sensor. If your lens isn't good, it doesn't matter how many megapixels you've got. A bad lens is going to give you a bad image. |
Maintaining focusReady for your close-up? You're not only going to need a good lens—you're going to need a good focusing system. A lot of webcams have either a manual focus option or no focusing system at all. If you get too close, you can end up fuzzy. |
What about HD webcams?When it comes to video calls, the maximum resolution is 640-by-480 pixels, otherwise known as VGA resolution. Today, you can't make an HD video call on any of the free instant-messaging applications. See all webcams that can capture HD video. Find out why Logitech HD webcams offer so much more than HD. |
Power and connectionsMost computers sold today have no problem handling a video call. But if your computer is a little bit older or you're not using a fast connection, you might run into difficulty. To get good clarity and smoothness, your computer needs to meet the minimum requirements to support a video call. |

Please welcome our new blogger, Elle!
Elle McCoy is the name. Bipolar awareness is my aim. I hail from a town in Louisiana small enough to only contain six red-lights, but big enough to house a Super Walmart (a girl is allowed some bragging rights). Our three, town commodities are corn, cotton and catfish – alliterations were all the rage growing up. To this day, the pronunciation of "wasp" is an inconceivable feat; it ends up sounding more like "wawst". This should give the readers some indication of how detestable my Southern drawl is.

This is Me
I'm taking a page out of the bp Magazine for this month's article. I don't know how many of you are familiar with this publication or if you personally receive it. I have a subscription and when I get mine in the mail, I read it from cover to cover.
One of the sections is the "This is Me" page. It usually portrays someone with Bipolar Disorder and has him or her answer a series of statements. So, I thought, I'd do the same here to give you more background about me.

I'm writing a book about my life. In my research I watched a documentary called The Stephen Fry Story – The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive (Click here for the documentary - 2 episodes of 1 hr. each). It's a fascinating portrait of BPD. It can help those of us who have it not feel so alone, and the people who love us understand us more.

Can There Be Differences In The Personality Traits Of Bipolar Sufferers?
New Blogger!
I was diagnosed Bipolar II in 2008, though looking back I now know I suffered from it since childhood. It was difficult starting treatment, my wife was the only one on board with it, the rest of my family was not supportive, most denied the disorder even existed, some to this day. Things got worse before they got better. I went through the various trials of medication treatments, the associated side effects and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, changing health plans frequently, and therefore doctors, did not help matters.

Program Learning Outcomes
The student will ...
-- survey the historical development of congregational song in gathered Christian worship.

Hospitals Overspending on Blood Transfusions
Hospitals can do a lot to reduce how much blood their surgeons use for transfusions, especially since blood products are scarce, carry risk of adverse events and are extremely costly, says the fall edition of Economic Outlook, a report by the hospital purchasing and quality alliance, Premier.
Premier looked at 7.4 million case-mix adjusted patients with common DRGs discharged from 464 hospitals over four years. Its analysts did the math and found an enormous variation among hospitals across the country.
It also realized that if all 464 hospitals in the Premier study instituted blood utilization practices similar to those hospitals in the top 25%, they could save $165 million annually in blood purchasing costs, and avoid using 802,716 units without changing patient outcomes.
And that's just in the top 10 patient diagnoses, excluding avoided costs of testing, storage, transportation, administration and the increased cost of care when patients' adverse reactions to blood units require longer lengths of stay.
They also would avoid an uncertain number of unintended consequences that occur when patients develop serious adverse reactions to transfused blood.

I wouldn't talk about songs that are in Playtest if they haven't been announced somewhere on a band's or author's web site, for the reason stated above: a song could be "abandoned" by its author or perhaps a legal issue could come up that makes a song not allowable on the RBN.
The list of approved songs which I'm maintaining in the other thread is a bit different, since those songs technically are up on the Marketplace, just not viewable or purchasable until HMX flips the switch on the RBN store. HMX does have the ability to "un-publish" a song, but that would only happen in extremely rare circumstances.
There are a few on that list that I don't believe have been mentioned anywhere outside of the Creators site. If an author were to PM me asking me to remove a song from the list because they wanted to keep it under wraps for whatever reason I would have no problem with that.

This is why pk on swiftblade is good
I played only for a few days now, 20 games or so thus far, and I think the pk is my biggest "discovery". It's ammong the top guides, but I have never seen it before and it's incredibly strong. It's a freaking pebbles 2.0 in my opinion.
On a lot of heroes you can find the Shroud>Pk syndrome. The first one that comes to your head is , but this is applicable for other heroes too. I have seen shroud on a few times with decent result, but the things you can do with pk blows my mind. Did you know that you can pk in mid-ult, for example?
has an amazing early game given the right lane. Mid works, but as we all know the +/ combo is sometimes too deadly to pass up on. His skills allows him to rush a runed cleaver, which he can easily get at 15 minutes in with bloodlust and one or two more kills. Once this is done, you can push at an amazing rate; solo-pushing in this bracket also tends to be really effective. Frostburn is also great on but after this, I have found myself to go pk over any other item.
It might be because I am in this bracket (1650 rating now), and because I think shrunken head is for cowards, but at least here it works wonders AND is really fun. If you are in this bracket or are looking for fun smurf heroes, I definately suggest =) Blocking spells with a last second spin like it's a freaking take cover to turn on them is so nice to do.
I get genjuro to sb, but the whole hero is just for the troll games.
E: And dont please buy runed axe to sb... he has spin to farm.

^ eh there is nothing too wrong with runed axe. it's largely picked up because he needs a way to farm decently while keeping his hp up (since no one gets lifesteal early on him and no one ever gets helm on him). i do get genjuro as well on swiftblade, and i think people who don't see that it's pretty core on him now are idiots. he completely lacks any way to get consistent auto attacks on the enemy and his attack speed is complete garbage (you i've seen people get steamboots, which is fine in theory, but not having ghost marchers makes your spin so easy to mess with as you are slower + you can hit things). genjuro fixes both of those problems + adds nice dmg/survival.

Hotbl is actually good on sb, it lets you dive early kills and rambo alot. I still prefer early nullstone and I always can farm with spin almost as good ppl would with runed. Also remember that sb is pretty soft carry lategame and will be destroyed by real carries like tdl, puppet and mm. I checked my hero stats for sb, I have almost 400gpm in avarage sb game. Also I always buy steamboots, cause I will go for genjuro and it will give you easily the mobility you need and with right setup theres no need for phase boots.
yea, i would never get helm on him, but steamboots, null, and genjuro is a nice build
Ghost marchers are the boots to go, you need the extra movement speed early on.
A PK definitely works well, but you seem to play swiftblade more as a semicarry/ganker then a true carry.
Swiftblade is a very good carry thanks to his build in critical strike. His ultimate is very strong too if you get enough attackspeed to hit extra while you ult.
I have seen PK + Staff builds that completely dominated the entire game.
The more traditional build is better if you are going into late game, which I don't see happen that often anymore (The only times it goes into late game I am playing support.. D: )
Ruined Cleaver is a great pickup for the extra manaregen, healthregen and damage early on. It makes him a beast at farming. If you think you that the game will not go in late game a shroud/genjuro pickup is great as well. A Nullstone, Frostburn, Savage Mace, Geometer's/Frostwolf's skull is VERY effective. A Frostwolf's Skull gives you a LOT of hp on a melee agility carry, along with a 30% slow.
But back on topic: A PK is fun, rather good for a semicarry/ganker. IMHO it is not that effective if you want to hardcarry (A blessed orb is more useful => FWS)
Swift is most fun when you play him as a ganker. Get pk or shroud (personal choise, but since you can invis during spin shroud has loads of benefits), ghost marchers or even post haste, codex, hellflower, frostfield plate / staff / resto stone / sheepstick. Try it, feel it, love it!
Back OT: Pk is pretty badass on swift, however any item can be used during his ultimate, and since you get loads of agi from building genjuro instead of pk, I'd rather do that instead when playing him as your standard carry. Reason: Genjuro gives loads of mobility aswell, a very good slow + backstab, and also the wxtra AS which means you potentially get an extra hit during your ultimate.
PK is badass on Swift, but not nearly as much as a Shroud. Shroud can stack with crit allowing you to one or two shot a lot of heroes. Personally, I build Ghost Marchers, then Shroud, then Runed Axe. Yea, it makes you a glass cannon, but your damage is disgusting and your MS/Spin/Ult give you a ton of survivability. The Runed Axe allows you to regen easily and farm like a boss and easily transition into lategame if needed. SB's built-in survivability is so damn good that I have, on many occasions, gone well into lategame without a single +HP item and was still unkillable. His abilities give him stupid good DPS at every point of the game. The last game I played with him, I finished with something like 17-2 in a 45+ min game and have Genjuro, Demonic, Shieldbreaker, Ghost Marchers, Runed Axe. SB is one of those rare instances where the best defense is a good offense.
Long story, short - If you want to play a ganker-Swift, then Shroud to Genjuro gives you SOOO much more than PK. I still see the merit on PK, but you lose so much by taking it over a Shroud that I just can't fathom why you'd do it. The only reason to not get a shroud on Swift is if you're going for the endgame carry role and farming that Ghost>Runed>Abyssal>Frostburn (which I hate).

genjuro was made for swift. he needs a slow + attack speed, and it gives him huge crits coming from invis.
PK is just the best item in the game for every hero. PK MB? PK hag? PK armadon? PK zephyr? PK empath? All amazing
Treads, Cleaver, Scepter, Lightning, Harkon's, Spellshards/Crit
Whilst there are benefits to using PK on every-hero (ganking, survivability). The question becomes past low-tier mmr; is it the most gold effective item for your hero. When you get PK, and you then have nothing after you have used your ulti; you suddenly become a lot less viable. If however you have shroud you still do damage/attack speed and can still fight. If you are carrying for real, BKB is a big item; and if you got PK/bkb you aren't going to be doing a whole lot, there isn't a synergy there. Shroud + bkb means you can still fight and deal damage; whilst having a lower CD than pk (15s after being used; or if you've been hit 3s). Whereas SBlade being in the middle of the fight will be attacked after his ulti/skill 1 and won't be able to go invis. Oh and lastly skill 1+shroud is just funny.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience
Steam Boots, Runed Axe, Genjuro, Shieldbreaker <- awesome build for swift and will be good in almost every single game you play.
Portal Key on swift is nothing new. It isn't core, it is a situational pick-up that is pretty decent.
Will take you opinion on the matter seriosly, so here's a follow up question for you mate:
Why does most ppl tend to go Breaker over Frostburn on swift nowadays? I know the dmg for a rather cheap price with a decent build up is rly cool, but the added survival, mobility and the slow from burn is in my opinion just so much stronger. I mainly play him as a ganker / semi, rather than actually spending the entire game ricing, so for me at least those stats help a lot more. The extra AS u get from burn, little as it may be, also helps your ultimate.
Orb from breaker is just as good as it's always been, I know, but is it really THAT good? Why did breaker knock down frostburn from the top?
Last notice aswell: I'd rather go symbol for hard-carrying, but I'm assuming most good swift's do aswell
^Dunno if you want shamsz answer, but imo genjuro gives everything you mentioned sny do and much more. It has the slow, as, move speed, dmg and ability to gank alot better.
Sb has been picked up a lot since the build up changed to make it more viable and fws got nerfed.

Agree with Ackwell1; Frostburn just isn't as efficient as many of the other items are now.

I won best male performance at IF3 for my Eye Trip segment with level 1, pretty stoked on that.
Born: April 25, 1988
Hometown/where you learned to ski: Bristol NY, some small hill skiing
Age when you started skiing: Got on them skis at the ripe age of 8
Skiing Background: It all started in NY with my little bro. As soon as I got on the skis I was jumping off anything I can find. Then we got taken under the wing of the local shredder and later on pro skier, Tim Russell. We formed a good ski crew after he left NY and as soon as I got outta high school peaced right out to UT
Breakthrough Moment: Leaving NY to UT. I started filming with Kyle Decker for rage films, then end of the year with Level 1
Claim to Fame: I won best male performance at IF3 for my Eye Trip segment with level 1, pretty stoked on that.
Favorite Terrain: Anywhere that challenges me and makes me scared, I'm trying to limit my skiing to Back country and Urban pretty much most the time. Should be interesting.
Dream Conditions: To obvious to say, but heavy dump, bluebird skies, and a few of the homies
Riding Style: Try to be crazy but smooth, and balance them out.
The Best Thing About Skiing: Being able to experience a lifestyle not many other people my age get to, and the feeling of immersion into a whole new world.
The Worst Thing About Skiing: It likes to ruin your knees. Really likes to.
The Best Training For Skiing: Mountain biking, makes me less timid to go wild.
Worst Injury from Skiing: Acl tears along with meniscus.
What is freeskiing for u? A lifestyle. The feeling that you control your next move completely
Is freeskiing evolving and what are the trends u see coming next season? Of course it is, I don't know if I agree with all the ways it is, but a lot is positive. Hopefully I see more people doing their own things and branching away from one form of skiing
What is Dalbello for you ? A rad company that has an awesome team and good family behind it. The boots are really well made and I see a company that has the right foot in the door for supporting the freeskiing movement

Words to Live and Die By: Don't get caught up on the way others want you to live your life, it's the only thing you have complete control of
Advice: Have fun when you ski, don't go out there with only intentions to go pro. When I moved out west I wanted to be a janitor at a ski resort and be a ski bum for the rest of my life. Didn't go so well with my teachers.
Il Moro "T" I.D.


text: That's a good point. I was just sitting here for the last few hours counting all my household cash (I only bring home hundreds) and winding my collection of vintage Rolex watches and decided to pull up this forum on my iPad mini. The print was a bit too small so I switched to my other leather couch where I keep one of my iPad 3's and then I was able to read your witty comment with better clarity. Especially since I just has laser eye surgery so I won't need to worry about my contacts when I go snow boarding in Aspen later this month.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to join ESPN.com staff
In their quest to add a never-ending supply of "big names" to their online footprint, ESPN.com has added former NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to their online sports coverage.
Abdul-Jabbar, who is a US Global Cultural Ambassador, recently started the Skyhook Foundation, which essentially is a program that lets athletes, filmmakers, and other luminaries teach children about important American figures.
As far as I can tell though, Abdul-Jabbar's writing experience consists of more historical nonfiction pieces, including a children's book about African-American inventors, a book entitled "Black Profiles in Courage" and a quasi-autobiography about Harlem's Renaissance.
So based on all that, it'll be interesting to see what kind of articles he writes for the company, which will be posted on a bi-weekly basis. At any rate, I'd assume that if he does write about more racial and social topics, they'd be much more tactful than some other less fortunate recent examples. I'd like to see what exactly Abdul-Jabbar has to offer the company, but I'm not sure that ESPN would have any interest in his writing if he wasn't a famous athlete.

Application Note: Running Off
Droplets stuck on roughness
Some people run off to pursue their dreams, politicians have run-off elections, copy machines run off multiple copies; and when things are going good, water runs off your roof without causing damage. You want water to run off your clothes when being worn but to wet them in the wash. We could run on with more run offs, but it's more interesting to ponder the last on-off problem.
How does one control liquid running on or off a surface? Certainly surface tension and liquid-solid adhesion are properties that strongly influence wettability. Another is the geometrical structure of the surface, that is, whether it is rough or smooth. Surfaces that look smooth to the eye often have ridges and grooves several microns (10-6m) deep. Such small features would not seem to be important, until one realizes that surface forces increase in importance compared to other forces with decreasing physical size. For example, surface tension forces in water at micron scales are typically orders of magnitude larger than viscous and gravitational forces.
Consider the classical dilemma faced by researchers trying to understand how a liquid moves across a solid surface. It is argued that it should not be possible for liquid to move onto dry solid because viscous stress requires the liquid velocity at the solid surface to be zero. A rough surface, however, can smooth the way by accommodating liquid stuck on rough protuberances while allowing flow across the grooves. From a macroscopic point of view, the liquid appears to "slip" over the surface.
Another dilemma resolved by roughness is how small drops of water are seen to remain stationary on a clean window. On a smooth surface the adhesion force between the liquid in a drop and the window cannot affect the net force on the drop since it acts uniformly in all directions. Roughness can explain this behavior as shown in the FLOW-3D simulation at the side of this article. The water drop (left frame) has a contact angle of 60° and remains stuck on a vertical surface with 2mm grooves (middle frame) because the contact lines cannot bridge the gaps between ridges. On a smooth surface (right frame) the drop slides downward.
The importance of surface tension at the micron scale explains why an accurate treatment of surface tension is crucial for modeling what goes on in micro-mechanical-electrical-systems (MEMS). Get into the running with your MEMS ideas by running them through FLOW-3D.

Research highlights
Wayne State is a nationally recognized urban center of excellence in research and one of only two public urban universities holding the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's designation as an institution with "very high research activity," as well as the foundation's most comprehensive classification for community engagement. WSU is among the nation's top public universities for total research expenditures ($259.9 million total) according to the National Science Foundation. Much of Wayne State's research originates in its acclaimed School of Medicine.
Since 2006, total research funding has increased nearly 30 percent.
- A Wayne State University research project is playing a role in early efforts to find and extract new energy sources. The project is one of 14 from 11 states involved in work on methane hydrates — structures that look like ice but have natural gas locked inside. WSU received $178,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to work on the two-year project, which is expected to build on what the government calls a "successful, unprecedented" test on Alaska's North Slope that produced a steady flow of gas from methane hydrates. Hydrates are found onshore, including in the Arctic permafrost, and offshore in ocean sediments along most continental shelves worldwide. Researchers see the structures as an untapped resource, holding great potential for economic and energy security.
- Dr. Sandra Narayanan, assistant professor of neurology, performed the first Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) placement surgery for treatment of an intracranial aneurysm in November at Harper University Hospital. Narayanan was assisted by Dr. Samuel Tsappidi, assistant professor of neurology, and Dr. Neelesh Nundkumar, chief neurosurgery resident. PED placement is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration- approved, flow-diversion treatment for large, wide-necked, fusiform and recurrent intracranial aneurysms. The device is designed for parent vessel reconstruction rather than endosaccular obliteration and is a newer alternative to endovascular coil embolization or surgical clip ligation. A flexible, braided cylindrical mesh of 48 cobalt chromium and platinum tungsten strands, the PED provides more than 30-percent metal surface area, three to five times as much as conventional intracranial stents. The result is more rapid and sustained intra-aneurysmal thrombosis and greater than 95-percent aneurysm occlusion rates at six months after the procedure.
- A joint study by Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center revealed dramatic reductions in cerebral palsy symptoms at birth. Researchers developed a model of cerebral palsy in rabbits that replicated the disorder's neuroinflammation found in the human brain and subsequent motor deficits. Animals that were treated with an anti-inflammatory drug were able to walk and hop within five days. The research indicates that there is a window in time immediately after birth where cerebral palsy can be identified and its features reversed, giving hope to those afflicted by the disorder. The use of a rabbit model is unique, since this model mimics the phenotype of cerebral palsy as seen in humans. The study also illustrates the potential of research collaborations across disciplines in advancing and translating novel technologies for the treatment of debilitating childhood disorders.
- Wayne State University Department of Anthropology Assistant Professor Krysta Ryzewski, along with researchers from Brown University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, developed an imaging device that uses a neutron beam to make three-dimensional images of archaeological artifacts. The beam penetrates metal objects and can make images of soft organic materials — two advantages over X-ray-based imaging technologies such as MRIs and synchrotron light sources. The team has made three-dimensional images of several bronze objects, including an oil lamp, a Roman coin and a figurine of a dog. One object, found at the site of Petra in Jordan, initially appeared to be nothing but a lump of corroded metal, but the neutron beam revealed that ithad been an earring. The team hopes to use this technology to reverse-engineer how these and other artifacts were made.
- A promising approach for treating advanced ovarian cancer offers new hope for extending survival rates and preventing tumors from recurring, according to a study from Wayne State University and the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Researchers treated ovarian cancer patients with cryoablation, a method for freeze-destroying tumors that resulted in survival of about 60 months, comparable to survival rates for women whose tumors do not return after the first surgical procedure.
- College of Engineering researchers have developed a new material consisting of bainitic steels and austempered ductile iron that features high yield strength, fracture toughness and ductility. The material resists fatigue that can cause fractures in materials, often with catastrophic consequences. This third-generation, advanced high-strength steel has twice the yield strength over the steels being used by industry today, a very high tensile strength and almost three times more fracture toughness than advanced steels currently on
the market. The team, led by Susil Putatunda, professor of chemical engineering and materials science in the College of Engineering, focuses on developing novel materials using a unique processing technique.
- An international team of astronomers, including a Wayne State University researcher, used data from the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite to identify a long-sought X-ray "echo" promising a new way to probe supersized black holes in distant galaxies. Edward Cackett, assistant professor of physics and astronomy in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was closely involved in analyzing data, interpreting results and writing the paper released on this discovery. The research has been hailed as a breakthrough in the study
of black holes in the center of galaxies. Similar to the way one can estimate the size of a cavern by listening to sound echoes, researchers can measure the size of the region around the black hole through observing light echoes, which will allow them to map what is happening extremely close to a black hole.
- Wayne State University Professors Dr. Cathy Lysack and Mark Luborsky are co-principal investigators on a three-year grant from the Department of Defense that explores how soldiers with serious spinal cord injuries re-engage with their communities and rebuild meaningful lives. The grant, shared between WSU's Institute of Gerontology and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will support the development of innovative strategies and systems that will move science and research toward interventions to help people with spinal cord injuries maintain their independence and ability to function in community life, and improve the long-term outlook for service members with traumatic injuries and their families.
- College of Engineering Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Timothy Gates is the lead WSU investigator on a National Cooperative Highway Research Program project that will better illustrate the connection between roadway safety and available sight distance at intersections controlled by stop signs on minor streets. The study, led by Massachusetts-based traffic services firm Vanasse Hangen Brustlin and including Portland State University, will examine 750 intersections in North Carolina, Washington and Ohio, states that were selected to provide diversity among drivers, topographic features and roadway design standards. The results will provide the basis for developing uniform guidelines for defining and measuring intersection sight distances. Ultimately, project researchers hope their information can be used by groups
like the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, which provides road engineering guidelines for state transportation agenciest.
- Wayne State University School of Medicine researchers, working with colleagues in Canada, have found that one or more substances produced by a type of immune cell in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may play a role in the disease's progression, a finding that could lead to new targeted therapies for MS treatment. The study, led by Dr. Robert Lisak, Wayne State University professor of neurology, showed that B cells — which secrete one or more substances that damage cells producing a protective substance called myelin in the meninges and the central nervous system — appear to be more active in patients with MS, which may explain why they produce these toxic substances and, in part, why they are attracted to the meninges and the nervous system. This is a significant finding, particularly for the damage to the cerebral cortex seen in patients with MS, because those areas seem to be damaged by material spreading into the brain from the meninges, which are rich in B cells adjacent to the areas of brain damage. The team hopes to conduct further studies to identify the toxic factors produced by B cells responsible for killing oligodendrocytes, identification of which could lead to new therapeutic methods to protect myelin from attacks. The research was supported by a National Multiple Sclerosis Society Collaborative MS Research Center Award, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
- Correctional facility employees who trust supervisors and management are less likely to experience job burnout, a Wayne State University researcher has found. Eric Lambert, Wayne State University professor and chair of criminal justice in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, developed a study of 200 staff members at a private Midwestern juvenile detention facility to determine if trust in supervisors and higher management had any effect on job burnout. Researchers found that, almost across the board, higher trust levels resulted in lower reported burnout characteristics, while employees who trusted their supervisors saw themselves as more effective. The study may open the door for trust research at other correctional facilities and could affirm the role of trust levels as a key factor in burnout.
- School of Medicine Professor of Physiology Jeffrey Ram is developing a device ships can carry to avoid bringing new invasive species into the Great Lakes. The Automated Ballast Water Treatment Verification Project will develop an automated, shipboard, rapid-testing system that provides a real-time report of the presence of live organisms in ballast water following treatment. If successful, this effort will eliminate one of the greatest challenges facing invasive species control: the ability to get feedback that ballast treatment systems are preventing discharge of live organisms from other ecosystems. The grant builds upon two of Ram's previous projects funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
- Larraine Buis, assistant professor of nursing, received a combined $36,000 in grants to help determine the success of a type 2 diabetes intervention program. The study focused on txt4Health, a 14-week, text message-based behavioral intervention program. Txt4Health features several different approaches to promoting lifestyle and behavioral changes, including physical activity self-monitoring, physical activity and weight goal-setting and tailored messaging. The evaluation involved a retrospective analysis of system data to understand participant usage and a participant survey to understand user perceptions and program satisfaction.Txt4health is a joint venture of the American Diabetes Association; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology; Voxiva, an interactive mobile health services company; and the Beacon City Communities in Southeast Michigan, Cincinnati and New Orleans.
- Mark Baskaran, professor of geology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, received a three-year, $190,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study the pathways and cycling of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the Pacific Ocean. During a two-month cruise beginning in October 2013, Baskaran and WSU student John Niedermiller will collect thousands of samples to conduct polonium and lead analysis in various types of waters, including those with high biological activity, low oxygen and hydrothermal plumes. Baskaran's work is part of the GEOTRACES project, which brings together scientists from more than 30 countries to study how recent environmental changes have affected distribution of key TEIs and chemical processes in the ocean. The team's data will be added to that of researchers studying other TEIs in the same samples to provide the best possible assessment.
- WSU neuroscientists are taking a deeper look into how brain mechanisms for memory retrieval differ between adults and children. According to Noa Ofen, assistant professor in WSU's Institute of Gerontology and Department of Pediatrics, cognitive ability dramatically changes between childhood and adulthood, paralleling similarly dramatic developments in the brain's structure and function. Ofen and her team, including researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, tested the development of neural underpinnings of memory from childhood to young adulthood to see how the brain remembers. Results suggest that cortical regions related to attentional or strategic control show the greatest developmental changes for memory retrieval, and that older participants used the cortical regions more than younger participants when correctly retrieving past experiences. This study marks the first time that the development of connectivity within memory systems in the brain has been tested, and the results suggest that the brain continues to rearrange connections to achieve adult-like performance during development. The team's findings were published in July 2012 in the Journal of Neuroscience.
- Smiti Gupta, assistant professor of nutrition and food science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has found that an extract from algae could hold a key to regulating cardiovascular disease. Gupta's study discovered that dietary intake of ProAlgaZyme increased the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in an animal model. While medications for the control of high plasma cholesterol levels, such as statins and numerous dietary supplements, primarily function by lowering levels of "bad cholesterol," Gupta's research explores the effects of raising levels of HDL, which carry cholesterol out of the arterial wall. In addition to increasing HDL levels, the group found that ProAlgaZyme also changed the expression of genes involved in the reverse cholesterol transport mechanism. While they don't know exactly how it will function in humans, Gupta said other research suggests a similar outcome. Study results were published in the Journal of Nutrition and Dietary Supplements.
- Annmarie Cano, associate professor of psychology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is studying the nature that working with animals has on people. Cano received a $152,000 grant to study whether instructing incarcerated teens to train animal shelter dogs in basic obedience skills will improve their social skills and quality of life. A control group received the classroom training and walked the dogs two hours per week; the rest also attended the classes and were assigned to train a dog two hours per week to get them ready for adoption. All participants also talked to researchers about their own experiences with dogs. The study seeks to uncover whether such interactions work and why. Future studies could test other groups and individuals, including adults with attachment problems, such as veterans who have suffered combat trauma, or drug addicts.

Umpiring is a great way for girls and women to be part of Australian football. It provides an opportunity to get up close to the action while teaching outstanding life skills such as leadership, assertiveness and decision making.
The AFL has a number of umpire education and recognitions programs to support the growth and development of female umpiring. They are:
Throughout Australia over 10,000 umpires take to the field each weekend to officiate in matches of Australian football: of thesem over 700 are female.
Women umpires make a tremendous contribution to our great game while developing great skills that will assist them throughout life.
The establishment of junior and youth girls leagues also provides greater opportunity for young female participants to take up umpiring.
Umpires for girls' competitions can be sourced from the following groups:

Whole lotta Latta (3 TDs) lifts Lowell
Whole lotta Latta (3 TDs) lifts Lowell
LOWELL — Lowell senior quarterback Cam Latta refused to let a recent leg injury force him to watch his final high school football game from the sidelines.
Latta not only battled through an MCL injury yesterday, but he was Lowell's main contributor. The senior completed 16-of-27 passes for 171 yards and three touchdowns to guide the Red Raiders past Haverhill, 36-23, in the 15th annual meeting at Cawley Stadium.

Uncompromised tone in a very mobile drum set.
Taye's GoKit drums have a sound that is direct and articulate, fat and sustaining. The sound is also slightly reduced in terms of decibels, making it ideal for smaller venues such as restaurants and churches. The portable drums record in a pinch and to top it all off, they make great add-ons for a practice kit. The 5-piece GoKit Fusion drum set includes an 18" x 7-1/2" bass drum, a 4" x 13" snare, three toms with scaled-down dimensions (12" x 6", 10" x 5-1/2", and 8" x 5") that don't sacrifice tone, and a complete hardware pack. Cymbals not included.
There are no compromises in this design, beginning with select basswood-birch shells. Consequently, while the bass drum is painlessly portable, it boasts broad tone with unforgettable punch. The snare yields a strong rim shot, and those ghost notes sizzle. The GoKit toms are shallow in depth, fast in response, and musical in character.
Funky looking, neo-modern, and edgy, GoKit drums will handle any music you throw at them, from drum 'n' bass to fusion to bop to Latin. GoKit drums use the same shell construction as TourPro but are designed to be ultra-compact and portable.
An important feature on the GoKit bass drum is the SlideTrack that allows two tom toms to be positioned properly over the 7-1/2" deep bass drum rather than having the toms too close to the drummer. This also avoids racking toms off the stands or including only one rack tom so it can be pushed to the side.
Taye's loaded Drum Hardware Pack G 4000 Series single brace, 3 section, all ball tilter stands. PSK501C Taye Power Kick Pedal, light weight, single chain drive, quick radius rod assembly and spring tension adjustment. Hardware Pack G is designed for stability without the weight.

Dear All,
We use UE on Windows and Linux at the same time for different projects.
What struck me the most is that the shortcuts on Linux are not the same as on Windows (nor as described here UltraEdit Keyboard Shortcuts).
This is quite frustrating as it breaks our habits. For example search->Find Prev is Ctrl+F3 on Windows but Shift+F3 on Linux. Another example, the wrod wrap is Alt+X on Windows and Ctrl/Alt+X on Linux.
Is this normal ?
On Windows we use UE 17.00.0.1025 and on Linux we use 18.104.22.168
Many thanks in advance,

'Mama Wu' unlikely hero for homosexuals in China
'Mama Wu' unlikely hero for homosexuals in China
If only more parents are supportive like this.
Though it does sadden me to read that being homosexual is still something so frowned upon in China. I mean, even in North America, there is still a lot of discrimination, but it's much better.
Because I'm somewhere in between,
My love and my agony.
Great support, and yes, it's about time.
TC to Ken: "You need to watch the ending of ROCH 83."
Which one is a bigger obstacle for homosexuals acceptance? Tradition or religion?

Everyone is analyzing to death the Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise split, when really, there isn't much to analyze. Look for all the clues, signs and reasons you want. Truthfully, their marriage wasn't much different than any of the other numerous Hollywood marriages that crumble after a few years. She was a young and impressionable up-and-comer courted by a big-time movie star who happened to be a religious wackadoo. That's the story, folks. Katie is 33, a mom, and she wised up before it was too late.
But she was not the only one. Everyone is talking about how interesting it is that all of Cruise's ex-wifes left the marriage at the same exact age: 33. And that, it seems, is a bona fide trend, people. But what does it mean, exactly?
It could be coincidence or it could mean that the 30s for a woman is a time of maturity, when you've lived and experienced and suffered enough to have your shit together. It's an age when you are more able to recognize you've made a mistake and when it's time to get out before it's too late. As it was for ...
Mimi Rogers. She and Cruise met in the early 80s and eventually married. It was Rogers who introduced and brought Cruise into the Scientology cult religion, so at least we know it was other reasons that led them to stray from each other. They divorced after three years.
Nicole Kidman. She and Cruise met on the set of Days of Thunder. They adopted several children and lasted over 10 years.
Both former ex-wives are currently remarried with children and seemingly happy, so we can only hope the same will follow eventually for Katie.
Have you ever been divorced? What age did you split up?

Customizable system converts hundreds of thousands of pages per day with no human intervention
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Data Conversion Laboratory (DCL), the industry leader in digitizing, converting, and reorganizing content to facilitate universal access and expand revenue streams, announces availability of its Automated Document Processing (DCL-ADP) system. DCL now offers a fully automated solution to support the challenges organizations face when critical business data is buried in unusable and unsearchable documents.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131015/PH97801LOGO )
In operation since early this year, DCL's Automated Document Processing system incorporates decades of conversion expertise, with innovative technology, to deliver high-quality converted documents and metadata. Processing hundreds of thousands of pages per day, and operating 24/7 without human intervention, the system is ideal for organizations such as financial groups, government agencies and medical institutions, needing to process high volumes of documents, and accurately extract information.
The Automated Document Processing system was created in response to a persistent cross-industry challenge: the lack of ability to search large document collections for needed content. Many organizations store large numbers of applications, records and other documents as images, which makes them difficult to index and reuse. DCL's technology transforms documents of varying degrees of visual quality into searchable XML which can be stored, searched, and accessed via end-user systems such as content management.
"While modern OCR (optical character recognition) tools do a great job on most clean content, they get fooled by the non-textual content of complex documents, and accuracy degrades. Our new process overcomes this degradation with methods that automatically extract extraneous content, reinserting it later into the converted document," said Mark Gross, founder and CEO, DCL. "The result is to render previously inaccessible data usable, on a large scale, with greatly reduced human effort, and at a fraction of the cost. Customizable to fit the specific requirements of each client, this system is revolutionary in its ability to manage the conversion of millions of pages in a 100% lights-out environment at such a surprisingly high accuracy rate."
About Data Conversion Laboratory, Inc.
Since its founding in 1981, Data Conversion Laboratory (DCL) has remained faithful to its guarantee to construct unparalleled electronic document conversion services based on a rich legacy of superior customization and exceptional quality. DCL is a leading US-based organization that currently operates one of the most advanced facilities of its kind, with extensive capabilities to capture content from virtually any medium and reformat it to fit a client's emergent needs. Specializing in highly complex projects with expertise spanning all industries, DCL provides a world-class mix of services and software resulting in uncompromised quality 100% of the time.

The staff was extremely pleasant throughout the stay and the valets were wonderful in helping to get all the snow off the car! Did eat in the restaurant 1 night during my stay and the wait staff was superb as well. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
