Minneapolis, MN 55454
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Minneapolis (Downtown)
A bar known for its hip-hop and heavy-metal shows and all-you-can-eat bacon nights might not seem like the most logical place to host a reading. However, the Twin Cities literary scene often eschews expected stuffiness, and knows a thing or two about the value of sharing creative works over a pint (or three). At this installment of Irregular Readings, folks will be invited to get their drink on while listening to 10- to 15-minute pieces including poetry, fiction, comedy, and true tales from the mega-talented Matt Rassmussen, Brian Beatty, Courtney Algeo, and John Jodzio. Tigger Lunney and Chris Besinger will host. 21+. (Photo by katerha)

For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had the uneasy feeling that he's living someone else's life. When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons website, all of Nathan's darkest fears come true: he realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he'll surviveand solve the mystery of his elusive biological fatheris to stop running and take matters into his own hands.

Metro breakdown! Windows 8 UI is little gain for lots of pain
The public preview of Windows 8 has won "rave reviews" according to the Daily Mail, the newspaper that claims to reflect Middle England and is proudly conservative in every sense of the word. The Mail, it'll have you know, is a feisty opponent of "change for the sake of it". So not only do I fear that somebody has spiked the …
I like the WFT? area. A great feature.
I've played with Win 8 for a couple of days in a VM and the Metro interface looks very nice but it's a half-arsed implementation. Lift up Win 8's skirt and it's a pair of old Win 7 knickers underneath. With holes in.
If you want to see an interface that is both slick and fast just have a look at KDE on openSUSE.
Re: WTF?
Yep agree with that entirely and as MS has just extended consumer W7 support to the same as commercial then there is absolutely no reason to upgrade (cough) to W8. W7 is the next XP.
As for openSUSE chuck in compiz 0.8.8 ( c++ version is crap and buggy for kde and kwin is still not as slick) add glx-dock and you have a great desktop UI.
Re: WTF?
WTF indeed. The whole of El Reg has morphed itself into Barry Shitpeas.
It's opinion. The article, and the comments. That's awesome. Here's mine: I've been using it since the developer preview was released, and I love all of it.
Shit changes. If you *must* use it, you'll make your life easier by accepting it. If you don't have to use it, use something else.
Embarrassing as that ugly girl your mates caught you kissing.
Re: WTF?
Well..... at least with Ubuntu 12.04, you can easily change the desktop if you don't like Unity.
Re: WTF?
Whilst i dont really agree with your KDE Comment and im reluctant to pass judgment over the UI for another couple of weeks, i do see where your coming from.
Ive said this before and ill say it again, with WP7, it took me a good couple of weeks to stop thinking old and adapt to metro but now ive got the hang of it, its a god send, everything else seems so archaic.
Now im going to force myself to use Win8 for a lengthy period of time to see if its the same, after all, not all changes are bad and some times the ones you dont think are great turn out to be amazing. To be clear im on a desktop here and a tablet else where.
Since we all seem to have to hate it without getting down voted ill say this, i dunno yet, and id strongly suggest people really give it ago and not just a couple of hours, my first impressions are that it seems a too dumbed down on my desktop, but perhaps thats because im not using all the shortcuts an what not yet, my tablet on the other hand is playing like a Super sized Windows Phone an its working well, im really impressed so far.
Anyhow, after some forced testing on myself ill make a judgment, id like to think that at least some of the folk on here are mature enough to see things similar without slating it after a couple of hours tinkering.
Re: WTF?
Yes, but then there's a big difference between Ubuntu (or any Linux or Unix distro; remember, Linux is not Ubuntu) and Windows.
Linux effectively represents an underlying system onto which you put the GUI of your choice, assuming that you want one. I prefer KDE3, but the list goes on, each with their own fans.
With Windows, however, you are stuck with whatever the Beast says you are to have as they insist that the GUI and the system core are the same thing. You can't rip the GUI off and replace it with something else - well, you possibly could, but I doubt that Microsoft would be very happy about that and good luck getting any support!
To be honest, and aside from a couple of niggles regarding Microsoft's almost obsessive concern with security (though after Linus Torvalds' recent paddy about openSUSE's security setup, I suppose I should be a bit careful about this), I don't mind W7 too much, though as with Vista, I am still unimpressed with the memory and disc footprint when compared with XP and W2K. That will probably give you an idea about my thoughts on W8 so far.
What it comes to is that Microsoft are redesigning the front end purely to accommodate the latest fad. This is probably because the previous fad, the netbook, caught them with the pants down, but I'm still not convinced that it has a future. I could be wrong, but the idea of the operating systems that Microsoft bought in were to run general purpose machines, and the touch pad isn't one of those. The obsession over touch and cloud may eventually be their downfall, in fact, since the whole point of the OS moves away from the general purpose system (the standard PC, the monitor, the mouse, the keyboard and such), unless they do something specifically to improve that part of their coverage, there will be a sizeable market that will eventually decide that enough is enough and start looking elsewhere for their services, whether that be Linux, Apple or whatever.
After all, Microsoft ignored their users when they released Vista and Windows ME. Look where that got them!
Windows 8 Consumer Preview is great!
Microsoft - please, please, please launch this exactly as it is now. Don't change a thing. Don't listen to the moaners - we all know users don't really know what they really want until you tell them. Put more marketing into it than you did Vista. Make it simple for users, i.e. ensure they can't go back. Hurry up end-of-lifeing XP and 7 too - clearly they are history now and users will rush to upgrade their hardware once they see the marvels you've come up with this time.
Do this and all the recent uncertainty surrounding your future will be cleared up once and for all!
Re: Windows 8 Consumer Preview is great!
"Do this and all the recent uncertainty surrounding your future will be cleared up once and for all!"
Well, that's one way of putting it....
I agree - KDE is coded so intelligently to allow user interfaces to be very customisable and adaptable to meet many needs. It avoids all the nonsense that Windows 8, GNOME Shell and Unity bring, precisely because the Plasma Desktop means you can essentially make KDE look and work like any of Windows XP, Windows 7, GNOME Shell, Mac OS, Unity, and if you are a masochist in the future then likely Windows 8 too. However, I believe KDE's default to be best, and its default taskbar config IMO works better than Windows 7's taskbar - wastes less space and allows quick access to programs without placing large distracting icons all over the place.
I have also been trying OpenSUSE on USB and the direction Microsoft are moving are seriously making me considering switching across to it as my main OS.
Re: Windows 8 Consumer Preview is great!
LOL Indeed! Here's to the last version of Windows!
Re: WTF?
Linux is about choice (BSD too, to be fair). Windows is about lock-in, and choice is inconsistent with that goal.
Re: WTF?
Agreed. Apple shoves it's terrible UI down people's throats all the time and people bless it as "innovation". But how dare Microsoft do that! There are always going to be some problems with a beta and I doubt all of the things pointed out in the article will go out with the official release, but from what I understood the main gripe is the UI. I haven't used Windows 8 yet, but since I'm not totally stupid I doubt it will take me more than a few minutes to get used to. And it should be a breeze for people that are even smarter than "not totally stupid"!
Re: WTF?
"Apple shoves it's terrible UI down people's throats all the time and people bless it as "innovation". But how dare Microsoft do that! "
Different market and inappropriate unless the aim is to make Windows non-ubiquitous.
Re: KDE FTW!!!
Couldn't agree more. KDE might not be (by default) the prettiest or slickest UI in the world, and people looking at a fresh install might just think "Windows clone", but to me it's a well established system with a great app suite, and every single corner of it just bristles with config options.
How big do you want your panel? Should it be translucent? What should it contain, and do you need more than one? What widgets do you want on which screen at what size with what options? Do you want to ditch the whole thing and just have an icon-based launcher on the desktop? Should this window be solo, part of a group, sit on top, or drop its surround altogether?
If you're the kind of person who wants things to work your way, KDE is brilliant. It doesn't take long to config, as pretty much everything is GUI controlled, and once it's kitted out, everything you need is exactly where you want it. Been using it for years, and having played with GNOME/Unity from time to time, I can't see myself going back. (That is, on a desktop. Tried Ubuntu TV at the MWC and it looks fantastic.)
Re: WTF?
I think the best comment I heard was on a video, where an IT technician's desktop had been replaced by one running Windows 8.
"Don't they do a version for professionals? Come on guys, give me back a real PC"
Re: WTF?
Interesting perspective, but what you're therefore saying is, if a company changes something, then don't criticise it.
Microsoft still has some amazing techies, but it's been taken over by marketing types who have somehow convinced senior management that the solution to Apple is to copy everything.
It's a case of, Techie suggests something, and marketing type responds with "An up arrow? An up arrow to navigate a hierarchical structure? I've given powerpoint presentations for ten years, and I've never used it. Why would anyone want an up arrow.?"
It's like the techies have given up, because people with IQs a hundred points below them, have got the management's ear as to what's useful. The company should be split in two, and the engineers can do the linq, SQL, language and tool development, and the marketing types can sit in meetings discussing colours over a line or two, with the business analysts.
Re: KDE FTW!!!
I suppose that depends on what you want to use it for, but I've been using openSUSE for quite a few years now and I've seldom regretted it.
Re: Windows 8 Consumer Preview is great!
how about using windows 8 on a 3d hdtv with kinect!
Re: WTF?
The difference is... Apple's UI is not "terrible" in fact I'd go as far to say that it's probably as good as it gets for usability and simplicity across all the operating systems. I've seen many expert and novice users alike take to OS X without any training or difficulty. The same cannot be said for the hodge-podge of mess that is Windows. Their is no consistency of user experience in Windows. Each new UI fad seems to just badly wrap up the previous generations dialogues and windows, this has been happening from as far back as windows 3 and shows no sign of stopping any time soon.
I'd just like to say that I use Windows 7, OS X and Linux on a daily basis and I'm well aware of their relative limits and benefits. I don't think any of them are perfect but in the absence of perfection I'll settle for "least surprising" and this is certainly OS X
Re: KDE FTW!!!
You belief that its the best is the exact same belief that the designers at microsoft have. They too believe they know best. Don't hate them for doing what comes naturally.
I prefer xfce :)
Re: WTF?
Want to eject that CD? Drag it to the recycle bin.
Yes..... thats unsupprising ¬_¬.
Yeah, very funny, now where's the real screenshots from WIn 8?
As soon as you start dragging a removable volume (CD/USB storage/.dmg) the trash can (not recycle bin!) turns into an eject button.
Re: WTF?
The WTF? area is even more sensible on WP7, because as microsofts extensive research into usability has shown, on a small screen like a mobile phone, every pixel counts. So its best to waste a full quarter of it with a great big black column, and then be forced to cut off words half way because there's no space to fit them all in. On the home screen. Before you even run anything. Then feature this prominently in all the ads, and wonder why the sales figures are what Android would dismiss as the floor noise level.
The 'we know best' crowd have been in charge at Microsoft for several years now. It started - for me - with sub-pixel addressing. It has become gradually harder and harder to avoid it. I've posted to blogs, forums and even spoken to a couple of guys in Reading. I've explained that it makes me feel nauseous but nothing has ever changed. They just keep insisting that it's wonderful technology and completely failing to address my complaint.
Fail, Microsoft.
Re: sub-pixel addressing
Have you considered rehashing you complaint in terms of its impact on users with less than 20:20 vision? Then you could speak to a lawyer (Microsoft listens to them) about a possible case with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Re: sub-pixel addressing
Very well, I'll meet your anecdata and raise with an "I don't see why a legal approach would work any better. I have myopia and strong astigmatism and am perfectly fine with Windows 7's fonts."
People who are having issues with this may form such a tiny minority that Microsoft simply doesn't feel the need to worry about losing their custom. There's a limit to how far you can go to accommodate edge cases before the money you're spending becomes greater than the likely benefit.
Besides, if even computer display resolutions increase to "retina"-style levels—which appears to be a distinct possibility over the next year or so—this becomes a moot point anyway.
Have you checked the typical retina?
"if even computer display resolutions increase to "retina"-style levels—which appears to be a distinct possibility over the next year or so"
So, we're going to get computer displays which:
i) Have almost all the colour and resolution concentrated in one area
ii) The rest is washed-out and blocky, but good at fast motion and fine grayscales
iii) There's a big hole, about the size of the full moon, off to the side of the detailed bit
Don't worry, your brain will fill-in the details!
Yep, I will need those goggles!
If you mean sub-pixel (font) rendering, aka ClearType, you do know you can turn it off, right?
I have similarly complained to Apple about their UI looking like it was produced by Fisher-Price and is U G L Y! Nothing happened, FAIL, APPLE!
But the upsides are great...
Like Fisher-Price, it's designed for diapered users with drool problems!
Not always you can't. IE9 forces sub-pixel rendering on as does Office 2007 unless you know about the undocumented registry setting 'RespectSystemFontSetting'. Dunno about Office 2010 but I think I read that that setting no longer worked.
I really hate Metro
In particular hiding the tiles. When you install a program all the short cuts it would have created in the start menu (help files, un-installer, link to vendor's website) all appear as tiles on the Metro screen. To hide you have to select the tile, right click, which produces a menu bar at the bottom of the screen. You then move down to the menu bar and select hide. This has to be repeated for every tile. Far too much unnecessary cursor movement, especially with a laptop touch pad. Context menus work well.
If Metro, as presented in the W8 CPE, is how it is going to work in the release edition, then I don't see myself ever upgrading. I'd rather stay with Windows 7.
Re: I really hate Metro
You can select multiple tiles at once, just right-click on each one you want to unpin and then unpin them all at once. And i'm pretty certain all the tiles appearing on the Start Screen is down to how software creators have decided to add items to the start menu by creating a folder and then also dumping all the items into the list that you find when you first click on Start in Win 7.
Re: I really hate Metro
Where's the right mouse button on a tablet again?
Re: I really hate Metro
"Where's the right mouse button on a tablet again?"
You just drag each icon down slightly and then release it. You can select multiple icons on a table just as quickly as you could with a mouse and Ctrl-click on a Win7 PC.
It's one of those features that wasn't there in the Dev Preview and has been greatly improved in the Consumer Preview.
Re: I really hate Metro
You could probably take a MASSIVE leap of logic and right-click multiple instances... and hey! whaddya know. that works! Jesus, think before you complain. Do you also pen half a letter to the manufacturer of your shoes, before you realise that you're not trapped, and if you were to undo the laces... hey! you're free.
Just choose Ubuntu Classic from the login menu,
Oh, wait
Re: Easy
Ubuntu Classic disappeared with the switch to Gnome 3 in 11.10 I'm afraid. Replaced instead with 'Unity 2D', it's far less polished, Metacity based brother.
Re: Easy
1) Select XFCE from the login menu
2) Pretend Gnome 3 and Unity never existed
3) Get some actual work done
If you can't turn it off,
then I'll be sticking with Win7. What's the use of having multiple large monitors if all they show is a handful of tiles? I can see instances of carpal tunnel syndrome spiking as people are forced to move their mouse cursor back and forth across vast distances just to select something.
It looks great on a phone. Leave it there.
Re: If you can't turn it off,
Correction: If Microsoft don't provide a way to turn it off, others will, and the worst of those other methods will become the industry standard way to configure Win8. (Gresham's Law as applied to software.)
Now go and read several years of Raymond Chen's blog and think about the possible consequences of /that/. --> Windows 9 will need to be backwards compatible with "somebody else's hack around the Windows 8 UI".
Re: If you can't turn it off,
thats actually a very good negative point, one of very few that i can agree with at this stage until i play a bit longer with it.
Re: If you can't turn it off,
To follow up on Ken's statement - enterprises are where Windows gets the most use/backing/lock-in and I cannot see them for the life of me standing for the productivity draining shite that is Metro on a desktop. Ergo they will be the ones pioneering the hack that will become standard and need to be backwards compatible with.
Even then I still cannot see them wanting 8 though. After the Vista debacle most just went from XP to 7 and I see them going from 7 to 9 or 10 depending on how soon they come about. Seems like MS follow a tick-tock process of usable-shite variations.
Re: If you can't turn it off,
There are registry keys under HKCU and HKLM which has been around since Windows 95 which allow users to choose different Windows shells. This raises the question whether those keys are still effective, meaning whether Metro will honor it, or whether Metro is unavoidable. If Metro can't be bypassed in this way, then it may take ugly hacks to disable it, and only MSFT would be to blame for that.
After 20+ years Windows users have a reasonable expectation of customizing much of Windows including the program launching UI. Maybe phone, tablet and game console users don't have that expectation, but there's too much PC history/inertia for MSFT to expect all users meekly to fall into line.
Re: If you can't turn it off,
I've already done this to run KDE as the default GUI environment for Win8 as a proof of concept since I might have to do this later for continuity purposes. There are a couple of small things to get ironed out on the KDE side, but if I were doing a Corporate IT rollout of Win8 (for its other benefits), I'd be deploying that Win8 image with KDE Desktop on top of it in order to minimize disruption and keep compatibility. It also nicely paves the way later to switch out the underlying OS on the corp desktop with even less disruption. :)
Desktop GUI /= to Operating System. This holds true for Windows/Mac(BSD)/Linux/BSD.
Re: If you can't turn it off......
…….the administrator will when configuring your "work" desktop when you log in.
Maybe metro is aimed more at the consumer (and ever growing tablet market), and enterprise will be able to tinker in the exact same way they do now!
Though MS has got to get this right or dreaded iOS lovingly created by Fisher-Price, may take a larger slice and we'll all be doomed!
I assumed there would be completely separate shells, with maybe a shared bit of common design language where the metro ui is also useful for the desktop and something like an uber-CSS that reskins and changes the ui of shared touch enabled apps like office.
This sounds like a frankinsteins monster.

His actions was wrong by the supreme courts but right by the people as for the first time there will free education and medical services. The monetary value of this of over K1 billion kina savings for simple ordinary people for a single year.
This is massive impact by only one person. Don't forget, the thief on the cross made it to happen at the elevant hour. Sir Nape has done well by the simple people. He will return by a big milage in 2012.

We've been blindly supporting and voting for wantoks for donkey's years instead of evaluating our candidates based on solid qualifications. Isn't that why we elect such rubbish again and again, and why we've lost billions of kina stolen by thieving MPs?

Jeffrey Nape yet to be arrested (charge involves missing K5 million) (National 4 May 2012
May 4 2012 at 8:18 AM Lovingly dedicated to Nape's supporters!!!!!!
A warrant issued on Jan 25 for the arest of parliament Speaker Jeffrey Nape has remained dormant while anti-corruption agency Task Force Sweep Investigates allegation of missing development funds.
The figure involved K5 million for the rehabilitation of coffee and pyrethrum in his electorate.
Nape had declined to comment on the allegations. His office said yesterday a statement would be issued on the matter.
Task Force Sweet chairman Sam Koim told the Australian Associated Press that the arrest warrant was prepared on Jan 25 after investigators had trouble getting access to documentation they said was relevant to the case.
But he said the team had yet to decide whether to use it.
"Let me put it this way, the arrest warrant was obtained on the advice that we will search him as well as arrest him on the spot if the documents are found on him," he said.
"We have not approached him yet."
"The case is ongoing," Koim told AAP.
The arrest warrant was for abuse of office, false pretense and attempted misappropriation and stealing.
It was alleged that Nape of Koge village in the Sinasina-Yongomugl district, Chimbu, misappropriated K5 million of the K30 million in government funds he requested for an agricultural rehabilitation project in his electorate.
National Fraud and Anti-Corruption division officer Sgt Bernard Barrum was granted orders for Nape's arrest after filing the notice of motion in the Waigani District Court.
"Project submission for funding of such projects is made to the office of the secretary for national planning, not through the office of the minister for finance and treasury or minister for national planning and monitoring," the notice of motion stated.
Barrum said in his affidavit that Nape had used his position and power as MP and speaker of parliament to obtain the money by circumventing proper processes.
The application ofr the arrest warrant alleged Nape had submitted a three-page letter on July 23, 2009 as a project submission requesting K30 millioon to fund the rehabilitation of coffee and pyretrhum in his electorate.
Pyretrhum is a natural insecticide extracted from the pyrethrum plant. It is safe to humans, but deadly to insects.
Nape's letter did no contain a detailed project proposal nor did it outline the costing.
The letter, addressed to former minister for finance and treasury, was authored and signed by Nape who stated that his loyalty to the National Alliance government should be considered.
It was then marked to the former national planning minister who directed the secretary to organise K5 million to pay a company called Koge Yoba Potramara Estate Ltd. The company was claimed to be the business arm of the administrative services of of Sinasina-Yongomogl which mobilises farmers to seek funding.
On Oct 28 2010 a cheque for K5 million was drawn from the national planning monitoring drawing account and sent to Koge Yoba Poramara Estate Ltd. However, the bank did not accept it because the name did not correspond with the account name.
The cheque was cancelled and a replacement for the same amount was drawn on Dec 3 2010, this time to Koge Yoba Estate Ltd.
Funds were not released when the second cheque was deposited as the bank became aware of the nature and manner of payment and refused to clear the funds. A warrant was raised and funds were returned to the state.
The request for funding was improper; it did not have a proper project submission attached to letter; and was not submitted through the proper process, Barrum's affidavit said.

The sad sad story of fat pollie piggie Jefferey Nape gets better and better. Don't let his wantoks fool you by saying that the growing number of allegations of Jefferey's little fingers in the public treasury "are political stunts." The fact is, only Nape of all 109 pollies is being confronted again and again with multiple allegations of massive stealing. Don't think a fellow who switches sides from one government to the next at the touch of a button (good evidence that he has absolutely no integrity or character), would be above putting government money into his own pocket if he thought no one was looking. Being honest doesn't fit the public personality that the Dishon. Nape proudly displays to us all!!!!!!
Long live Jefferey Nape. He's now become our national laughingstock, the replacement for that silly Patrick Pruaitch. Hail hail to PNG's new national public fool!!!!!
PostCourier 9 May
A petition has been delivered to Prime Minister Peter O'Neill on the alleged missing millions of kina belonging to the Sinasina Yongomulgl electorate in Shimbu Province.
The petition, signed by 283 concerned leaders and elders of the Sinasina Yongomugl electorate, detailed alleged misappropriation of about K120 million worth of projects that had not been carried out since 202, most of which had funds appropriated in 2010.
The petition was addressed to National Planning Minister Sam Basil for presentation to Mr ONeill. The petition demands an explanation from Sinasina Yongomugl MP and Speaker Jeffery Nape to account for the missing funds since his election victory in 2002.
The petition is titled "Sinasina Yongomugl People's Deed Concerns and frustrations at the continuing inability and failure of their Member of Parliament and Speaker Jeffery Nape in the delivery of goods and services for the development of the electorate adn alleged massive corruption, fraud, theft, misappropriation and misuse of Sinasina Yongomugl people's funds over the last nine and a half years (2002-2011)."
"We have finally decided to petition the government through you as the Prime Minister after suffering hardships and confronting mounting difficulties due to unavailability of basic government services in silence for a long time.
"Prime Minister, these are some anaomalies and alleged corrupt and fraudulent practices involving millions of kina of Sinasina Yongomugl people's district development funds that we have uncovered so far for you Sir to note," the petition detailed.
The Speaker's officials said last night that these issues were only brought up to tarnish his name, especially at this campaign and election pertiod.
They said the Speaker would respond appropriately today.

Molecular self-assembly offers unique directions for the fabrication of novel supramolecular structures and advanced materials. The inspiration for the development of such structures is often derived from self-assembling modules in biology, as natural systems form complex structures from simple building blocks such as amino acids, nucleic acids and lipids. Peptide-based nanostructures indicate an important route toward the production of ordered nanostructures as several studies had demonstrated their ability to form well organized assemblies. This includes cyclic peptides designed with alternating D- and L-amino acids, amphiphile peptides, peptide-conjugates and ionic self-complementary peptides. A naturally occurring self-assembly process of nano scale objects by polypeptides is that of amyloid fibril formation. These 7-10 nm fibrillar assemblies were already used for the formation of conductive nanowires. Short peptides have been used as model systems to study the molecular mechanism that leads to amyloid fibril formation. Based on the analysis of short amyloid fort-ning fragments, it was recently suggested by our group and others that aromatic interactions may play a significant role in the process of amyloid fibrils formation in several cases. This hypothesis led to the discovery that the core recognition motif of the Alzheimer's beta-amyloid polypeptide, the diphenylalanine element, has all the molecular information needed to self assemble into a novel class of peptide nanotubes. A highly similar analog and the simplest aromatic dipeptide, the diphenylglycine, forms spherical nanometric assemblies. Both designed and peptide fragment nanostructures were suggested to have many applications in various fields including molecular electronics, tissue engineering, and material science.

Guest Article
This article was written by Madeline Harris. She is a graduate of Queen's University with a degree in Psychology and English. She is actively pursuing a career in neuroscience and excited to be a part of the Brain Power Initiative.
Future academic success can be determined by a firm understanding of the basic concepts of mathematics at a very young age, say Douglas Clements and Julie Sarama from the Graduate School of Education at the University of Buffalo.1* This success is apparent not only in later mathematics performance, but also in subjects across the board including science and reading. However, many children throughout the world do not experience the degree of early education necessary to start this advancement process.
Children as young as three years have the potential to learn mathematics that is both "deep and broad".1 Without the proper type of educational intervention, children who enter a classroom with less experience than their peers will continue to underperform by comparison. But according to Clements and Sarama, structured, research-based training has shown to be effective in increasing mathematical knowledge and bridging this gap. In other words, children who enter a classroom at a lower academic level owing to a lack of learning opportunities in their early years are not necessarily destined to perpetuate this trend.
Key features of these supported research-based programs include the proper training and education of teachers,2 using familiar concepts and activities involving numbers as a foundation upon which to build,3 and assessing a child's current mathematic abilities to identify an appropriate starting point.4 This means that teachers will introduce concepts such as quantity comparison and change using objects like blocks and puzzles with which children are already comfortable.
One of Clements and Sarama's programs is called Building Blocks. In a 2007 study, children educated with the Building Blocks curriculum significantly outperformed children who were educated with a more traditional curriculum after 25 weeks of instruction.5 While the average pre-test scores for the traditional group and the Building Blocks group were similar, 8.44 and 9.67 respectively, the average post-test scores were 17.93 versus 29.46, a highly significant difference.
In addition to providing equal learning opportunities for children with different levels of experience, this training may also be effective in improving the potential negative effects of some teachers' low expectations of children who typically underperform.6 With the research-based training, teachers are better able to observe the individual strengths of children and assess how to aid them in their continued academic growth.
As supported by the research above, teaching children mathematics should be less about "drilling basic facts" and more about building strong foundations at an early age that will better equip children for future academic growth.1 If this method of teaching is set forth, children will have the opportunity to succeed in learning key mathematical concepts no matter what their prior experience.

The airplane was in cruise flight at 12,500 feet, when the pilot noticed the manifold pressure drop from 37 inches to 19 inches of mercury. The airplane was descending through 5,000 feet when the #3 cylinder and engine cowling separated from the airplane. The pilot initiated a forced landing in a field. During the landing roll, the airplane impacted mesquite trees. The #3 cylinder, piston, and connecting rod were found missing from the engine and were not recovered. Some small metallic debris remained in the oil sump. The original engine maintenance records were lost, and the total time on the engine was estimated to be 1,238 hours on October 1, 1983. On November 6, 1989, after a propeller strike, the engine underwent a top overhaul and crankshaft run-out inspection at an estimated engine total time of 1,615.6 hours. The last 100-hour inspection was conducted on March 28, 2000, at an estimated engine total time of 1,830.55 hours.

Study of the Effect of a Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diet on Energy Expenditure
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Popular weight loss plans often restrict carbohydrates or fat. Research shows that very-low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diets lead to greater weight loss than low-fat diets. Researchers want to know if eating fewer carbohydrates changes the number of calories the body uses. They also want to know how a ketogenic diet affects hunger, hormones, and food preferences.
- To better understand how the body responds to different diets.
- Men 18 to 50 years old who are healthy but overweight.
Participants will have 3 screening visits:
- Medical history, physical exam, blood test, and EKG. They will eat during the visit.
- For the week before the visit, participants will wear physical activity monitors daily. They will record everything they eat and sample the special diet. At the visit, they will receive an EKG and heart rate test while biking for 30 minutes.
- For the week before the visit, participants will wear the physical activity monitors. They will eat all their meals from the special diet that will be provided. At the visit, they will answer questions and bike for 60 minutes.
- After screening, for 1 week, participants will visit the clinic daily to receive that day s food. They will not eat or drink anything else except water.
- Then participants will stay at the clinic for 8 weeks. They cannot leave but can have visitors. Participants will wear physical activity monitors, bike daily, and follow different diets. Tests will be given daily, and may include weighing, X-rays, and blood and urine tests. They will spend several days in a monitored room to test oxygen and carbon dioxide.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Effect of a Eucaloric Ketogenic Diet on Energy Expenditure: A Pilot Study
- To determine 24hr energy expenditure, respiratory quotient, and sleeping energy expenditure following a 4-week eucaloric ketogenic diet as compared to 4 weeks of consuming an energy-balanced standard diet. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2014
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Popular weight loss strategies often prescribe targeted reduction of dietary carbohydrate or fat. Recent clinical trials in obese subjects have found that low-carbohydrate diets result in greater weight loss compared with low-fat diets on a time scale of months when diet adherence was likely the highest. One hypothesis regarding the mechanism of improved weight loss with low carbohydrate diets is that such diets significantly modify the body s hormonal milieu to influence metabolic regulation and energy expenditure. Low-carbohydrate diets may thereby offer a metabolic advantage over low fat diets. In addition, low-carbohydrate diets may also decrease hunger or increase satiety compared to low-fat diets.
Determining the mechanism whereby one diet leads to greater weight loss than another is hampered by the inability to accurately measure food intake or physical activity in an outpatient setting. Thus, an inpatient feeding study lasting many weeks is required to accurately measure energy balance differences between isocaloric diets that differ in macronutrient composition. In this pilot multicenter cross-over study in 16 overweight and class I obese men, we will measure changes in energy expenditure in response to 4 weeks of inpatient feeding of a eucaloric, very low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet (5% Carbohydrate, 15% Protein, 80% Fat) immediately following an inpatient period of at least 4 weeks of consuming an energy balanced standard American diet (50% Carbohydrate, 15 % Protein, 35% Fat).

Not really sure why you'd have a problem with the darts. If you think the jacket has too much waist suppression, you can just increase the waist measurement on your MTM jacket. Did you ask Kent if it's even an option to have a jacket made sans darts? He has said time and again in this thread that the only customizable aspects are those listed on his website, and darts/no darts certainly isn't an option.post #3273 of 453510/4/13 at 4:56pm

I just think jackets look better without them--much as I think shirts look better without them. I like a bit of waist suppression, but I've seen many dartless jackets with the kind of waist suppression I've come to like. Kent says it can be done, but he has never done it so he can't be sure how it would turn out. He recommends against it. Others have suggested that tampering with the cut could be bad if other aspects of the cut are not altered to account for the missing darts. I am leaning towards not doing it just because it seems like an unnecessary risk for such a minor thing, but I thought I would see what people thought.post #3274 of 453510/5/13 at 5:08am

Let me put it to you like this: of all my items that I have, the umbrella is one of the few things that make me really happy each time I use it. Every time it rains and I get to use it I feel like I'm straight out of Paris Street; Rainy Day, fine ass broad on my arm, strolling down the Champs-Élysées on the way to meet Hemingway at the absinthe bar.
The solid stick just looks so sweet, with that nice variegated color. Don't bother with similarly priced metal stick umbrellas. On an average day, you're probably not the only person on the street with a nice suit and shoes, but when it rains I can guarantee you that you will be the only one with a solid stick umbrella.
You know how when it's raining and everybody's walking down the street with umbrellas and you gotta make sure to not let your umbrella collide with other people's umbrellas? Well, when you are a wielding a solid stick, everybody will see how sick that stick looks and will step aside to make way for your superior umbrella.
Can you put a price on this kind of power?
Given my lack of a decent umbrella, shitty military-surplus not-at-all-waterproof overcoat, a black tie event on Saturday evening, and the sloppy shitstorm that is the mid-Atlantic region for the next few days, I re-read the above and then ordered a black stick bumbershoot.
I look forward to suffering less than all the other idiots out in the rain.post #3277 of 453510/10/13 at 6:10pm

I've had a black grenadine from KW for a year or so and I wear it much more than I was expecting to, given that I otherwise basically don't wear black at all. I recently got two of the rugby tops, and they make me feel sad in that way you do when you realise that you don't have enough to wear one every day.post #3278 of 453510/11/13 at 11:24pm

Just a personal preference, but I prefer the limited pick stitching option. The extensive option is a bit excessive, IMO, as it's along nearly every seam of the jacket. Still, it's subtle and done well enough that it doesn't look tacky or cheap--or even that noticeable at all--if you do opt for extensive pick stitching.post #3281 of 453510/14/13 at 6:56pm
