His outdoor pursuits have included wilderness canoeing in Canada, climbing and hiking in North and South America, coastal kayaking in the Georgia and Maine and blue water sailing around and across the Atlantic Ocean.
DJ is passionate about curriculum development and teaching. His biggest challenge is to try and make apparently complicated concepts accessible and usable for people regardless of where they have to deliver care. DJ states that it is "…often more important to have clarity about the urgency and severity of a problem than it is to have a precise diagnosis. We need to understand what a patient does or does not have and whether or not it is a big deal." His reward is the light bulb going on in students minds. When one can say "I've got; I didn't realize it would be so simple!"

Recent research has focused upon the growth of the graphene, with a concentration on the synthesis of graphene and related materials using both solution processes and high temperature chemical vapor and solid growth methods. Protocols to prepare high aspect ratio graphene nanoribbons from multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been developed as well as techniques to grow high quality graphene for electronics and other applications where high quality is needed. Graphene materials have been manipulated and modified for use in applications such as transparent electrodes, field effect transistors, thin film transistors and energy storage devices. This review summarizes the development of graphene and related materials.

StingSteve Borden
- Birthdate: 03/20/1955 (age 59)
- Height: 6'2"
- Weight: 250 Ib
Sting is best known for his tenure in World Cha...
-- Despite MVP denying rumors of a TNA debut, talks between the two sides have gotten very serious. There was even talk within the last day or two that he could be appearing at the upcoming TNA iMPACT! tapings in the UK. As of now, he's correct in that no deal has been signed but talks are ongoing and have become serious.
-- The word backstage is that the reason Sting worked two TNA live events last weekend is because he "owed" the company two house show dates as it was written into his current contract, which is expiring very soon. People within WWE believe he's coming in sooner than later.

Tim from Lockport, NY
I bought this table to go with the setee that I also purchased here.[...]easy to assemble. This table looks great and appears to be very solid - perfect for use with the setee when gathering with family/company, or just to have a place to set our drinks or plates while relaxing in the backyard - and large enough that there's plenty of room for more than a couple people to use. It's also solid enough that it will stay in place and won't be blown over in a strong wind.
Love these.
RJ from Santa Fe, NM– Verified Buyer
I ordered three of these, two for indoor use and one for outdoor use. They are very sturdy and easy to assemble with clean, contemporary lines, The price is quite reasonable for such a high quality product. I highly recommend them. And Wayfair's customer service is excellent.

beautiful table for the price
mary the online shopper from Atlanta, GA– Verified Buyer
I use the table as a study table with my laptop and all my work spread out on the table. It is very long, rather than wide. However, it suits my needs and fits in the space I had for it. It is beautifully made, solid construction, and a wonderfully calming shade of wood. [...]

The Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking sponsors for upcoming events, including the November and December Christmas in the Valley Campaign. More in Monday's Times-Record.
Bismarck St. Mary's 6-foot, 165-pound senior tailback Dillon Reiner ran 47 times for 211 yards and six touchdowns against AA West rival Central Dakota in Cooperstown on Saturday to give the No. 1 Saints a 42-12 win.
Dakota Straub's one-yard touchdown run put the Titans ahead 6-0 in the first quarter before Reiner scored from six yards out to lead 7-6 after a quarter.
Reiner ran for touchdowns of five and four yards in the second quarter and St. Mary's led 21-6 at halftime.
It's do or die Friday night at Hanna Field when third-place Valley City hosts fifth-place Central Cass for the fourth and final AA East playoff spot.
Nate Rodriguez carried 17 times for 48 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Saturday night's penultimate game at No. 2 Fargo Shanley, but senior running back Daniel Stasch, senior wide receiver Trevian Fort and the host Deacons denied Valley City a playoff-clinching win, 40-13.
"[Shanley]'s a dang good team, and we're not so dang bad either," said Hi-Liner head coach Scott Roehrich, eager for Friday's one-game season.

I don't know if there is ever a moment in our life, especially in parenting, that I should get comfortable. In fact if life is cruising very well, I should turn on the headlights and look out for the unexpected. That deer was the unexpected. But maybe yours is the quick financial crisis, or your washing machine stopped working in the middle of the week, or your son is diagnosed with a disease. Please don't get me wrong, life is supposed to be enjoyed. Yet, life does have the unexpected. And as parents I just want us to be prepared for anything. Even for when a deer hits us in the middle of 495.
Hit me back if you can relate. I am N0S.

I always thought that a girl (OK, woman) that goes by the stage name of Tila Tequila can only be a stripper or a trashy reality TV "star". Turns out, my intuition functioned and I didn't let myself down this time - but I only guessed two of this lovely lady's areas of employment, so to say. Truth is, the Singapore-born Tila (real name Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen - let me see you pronounce that on your first attempt) is a stripper, a reality TV star and... drum roll, please... a singer. Well, come on, admit it - all of you who watched even one episode of that "Shot at Love" reality show on MTV knew that Tila was (and is, despite her tender age of only 25) a very talented woman, with a lot of potential.
And seeing how she got to be known as the "Queen of MySpace" by making full and explicit use of all her charms, no one can doubt that in 20 years' time we may very well be calling her "the Asian Madonna". Fact is, Tila has a couple of videos out, one of which you can check out below. It's called (how else?) "Stripper Friends" and it features Tila, Tila again, loads of strippers parading around wearing sexy underwear, and quite a lot of that girl on girl and guy on girl action that made the tiny plastic Asian entertainer famous in the first place. Don't expect to see it get a Grammy anytime soon, though. I don't know why, but some very shallow people out there (me included) would call this video a mere pretext, or an image statement rather than an artistic expression (via music) of certain feelings and emotions.
I'm sure there would be a point to it, too, if it weren't pretty much stating the obvious: we all know by now that she's bisexual and fond of it, that she loves to strip and entertain both her male and female audience and that she's probably going to be around for a nice long time. So, what can I say - enjoy the soft porn... I mean, video below, but don't expect smart rhymes. In fact, don't expect anything - just enjoy the visuals and pretend it's a promo for VH1's next reality show. You know it's coming - so better than feeling morally outraged, it's best to just relax and enjoy the ride.

A hoss is a level higher than a boss. In other words, the guy who gives orders for others to give orders in order to give other people orders and so on and so forth. If you are a hoss, you are a level one beneath God. A hoss is pretty much a divine, or glorious, bad ass mother fucker.
George Washington was a hoss as he whooped Englands ass and lead America into a state of supreme glory. (boss) (bad ass Mofo) (leader) (winner) (overlord)

I'm worried about my weight. I went to my doctor for a physical and she said I was at a good weight, but I still think I'm fat. I have low self-esteem. Even my dad makes comments about by tummy! My sister is skinnier than me and I don't know what to do!
Sometimes I think about puking...on purpose. I know I shouldn't because of later effects and it's bad for you etc., but I still think about it! Girls at my school are skinnier than me and I hate it. How can I stop thinking these things?
Beauty should never be based on your weight. I'm sure you're perfect and pretty just the way you are. Remember that your true gorgeousness comes from stuff ya can't physically see—like your smarts, your amazing singing voice or your ability to be a great friend. Here's how to get happy and feel confident about yourself.
Tell your dad you don't like it when he makes comments about your tummy. He might just be joking, but still, if he's hurting you, you need to let him know. If you don't feel comfy talking to your pops yourself, approach your mom or an aunt or older sibling who can relay the message.
If your doc said that you're a healthy weight...then you are! There are always going to be girls who are skinnier than you (and I know, because I'm no stick thin gal myself). Everyone (especially girls!) comes in different shapes and size, so embrace your uniqueness. You are only going to drive yourself crazy if you constantly compare yourself to other girls, so don't! Base your self-esteem on your accomplishments—like scoring the lead in a play, getting straight As or leading your school's food drive—not your physical appearance.
It seems like you're super-concerned about your weight, but you need to be more concerned about your health. Purging food and starving yourself can cause fatal problems in the future (not to mention the mental toll it will take on you), so it's important to steer clear of doing anything dangerous to lose a few pounds. Make sure your diet is well-balanced and filled with protein, fruits and veggies. Exercise regularly doing something you like to do, whether that's running, playing soccer or dancing to your iPod. When you live a healthy lifestyle, you will feel healthy and one hundred times better about yourself. For more safe, fun tips on getting healthy, head to G-Life. And if you still feel badly about your weight, please head to a guidance counselor or trusted adult to talk about it ASAP.
The most important thing you can do to get rid of your negative thoughts is to think positive. Every time you start comparing yourself, stop, breathe and tell yourself two positive things about yourself (like how you aced your history exam or how close you are to getting a personal best in your track event). Listen to your doc about your weight, and remember, skinny doesn't equal beautiful. The prettiest girls are the happiest girls, so keep your chin up.

I'm looking for a good genetic programming library for JVM. (not genetic algorithm but genetic programming) I tried JGAP (jgap.sourceforge.net) and Watchmaker (watchmaker.uncommons.org). Unfortunately, those tools have only experimental and immature support for genetic programming (they are mainly focused on genetic algorithms).
Perhaps do you know any better tool for genetic programming, for JVM (can be written in Java or any other compiled language for JVM).
I'm not looking for a comprehensive list of GP tools, I'm rather looking for a good, popular tool (just like popular operating systems are Windows, Linux and Mac, and popular Java IDEs are Eclipse, IDEA and NetBeans).
It doesn't have to be genetic programming library (GP), it can also be (and it would probably better) a gene expression programming library (GEP).
EDIT (after two months since the question): I analyzed most of the links You posted and which are available in Wiki and I must say that each of those libraries have at least one of the following problems:
no open-source, or open-source, but very restrictive (GPL);
no documentation (or very poor one);
no built-in support for genetic programming or gene expression programming (or experimental one;
some are just too complex in use.
In this sitation I ended up in writing my own simple library for the project (using gene expression programming approach, which makes it very very simple).

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/453,196, filed Mar. 11, 2003.
The present invention relates to the field of surgery and, more particularly, to methods and instruments for abrading tissue during arthroscopic procedures.
Methods and surgical instruments for abrading tissue are known in the art. Typically, surgical abrading instruments are sized and shaped to be inserted into the body through a small opening in the flesh, as would be used in arthroscopic surgical procedures. U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,578 to Johnson et al. discloses a surgical abrading instrument that includes the combination of a distally, side-supported inner drive tube carrying on its end an abrading element, and a fixed bearing tube surrounding the inner tube and providing at a bearing region the distal support for the inner tube. A distal extension of the bearing tube provides a sheath for a portion of the abrading element. A vacuum passage communicates proximally from the region of the abrading element, past the bearing region, to a proximal vacuum connection. During driving of the tube and drawing of suction through the vacuum connection, particles dislodged by the driven, side-supported abrading element may be drawn past the bearing region and out of the instrument.
Once inserted into the body, the abrader is used for various surgical procedures that involve abrading, cutting, or shaping soft tissue and hard tissue, such as bone, cartilage, or ligament, by use of a rotating abrading head secured to a rotatable inner tube. As the tissue is being abraded, debris is generally drawn by suction through the lumen of the rotatable inner tube, along with physiological and irrigation fluid. In the example disclosed in the '578 patent, the suction port is located immediately proximal to the abrading head, and a bearing is located proximal to the head and the suction port to allow maximum exposure of the abrading head at the distal tip of the instrument. According to the '578 patent, the debris flows past the abrading head and enters the immediately adjacent suction port between the inner tube and the outer tube. During the abrading procedure, tissue may wrap around the instrument and block the suction port.
Another approach is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 6,053,923 issued to Veca et al. The abrading instrument of the '923 patent has openings in the side of the rotating inner tube, which align with a single suction port in the side of the outer tubular member. The openings in the inner tube are disposed proximally to the abrading head. Thus, surgical debris is drawn back from the abrading head along the outside of the bearing area, and then into the suction port of the outer tube, through the suction openings of the inner tube, and out of the instrument. A self-cleaning mechanism is formed by sharpening the edges of the two openings, which pass at close tolerances during rotation of the inner tube within the outer tube, to impart a tissue-cutting action as the edges of the openings pass one another.
A surgeon using the abrading apparatus disclosed in the '923 patent must be careful, however, to avoid cutting tissue adjacent the surgical site with the sharpened edges of the self-cleaning mechanism. Further, tight tolerances between the inner and outer tubes necessary to provide an effective tissue-cutting action also render the instrument vulnerable to binding between the inner and outer tubes during an abrading operation. In addition, as the inner tube rotates within the outer tube, the suction flow through the ports in the outer and inner tubes becomes at least partially blocked or impeded by portions of the inner tube cyclically closing off the openings as the inner tube rotates. Thus, an improved design for avoiding aspiration of tissue through abrading apparatus bearings and improving aspiration flow is desired.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a surgical abrading instrument that reduces blockage and eliminates the need for repeatedly clearing the abrader. There also is a need for a method for conducting a surgical abrading procedure with increased efficiency and reduced cost and time.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and fulfills the needs noted above by providing a surgical abrading instrument having an aspiration section that features a suction port disposed in an outer bearing tube of the instrument and proximal to a distal bearing which, in turn, is disposed proximal to an abrading head. Preferably, the suction port is in communication with a chamber formed between an inner tube and an abrading head. The chamber, in turn, is in communication with at least one opening in an inner hollow tube, to allow surgical debris produced by the abrading head to be drawn through the suction port as it is aspirated from the operative site into the inner hollow tube and out of the abrading instrument.
The bearing tube of the surgical abrading instrument surrounds the inner tube. An optional hood surrounds the inner tube, at least partially, to expose a rotary-driven abrading head, at least on one side. Cantilever support of the abrading head by a bearing disposed proximal to the abrading head allows maximum exposure of the abrading head at the distal end of the instrument. The suction port on the bearing tube is provided as a plurality of longitudinal slots disposed proximal to the distal bearing. The inner tube is hollow and has an opening through which tissue and debris produced by the abrading procedure are drawn. The tissue and debris from the operative site are drawn by suction into the hollow inner tube through an opening in the bearing tube. At least one opening in the bearing tube and the opening in the inner tube provide an unimpeded path for fluid and debris to be aspirated away from the surgical site without passing through the bearing that supports the abrading head. In addition, the present invention avoids rough edges and surfaces on which tissue potentially could become lodged, or around which tissue potentially could become wrapped and entangled.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the invention, which refers to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a surgical abrading instrument configured to reduce blockage of the instrument and eliminate the need for manually clearing the abrader. The surgical abrading instrument of the present invention includes a suction region disposed in an outer bearing tube of the instrument and proximal to a distal bearing, which, in turn, is disposed proximal to an abrading head. The suction region is in communication with an opening leading to the lumen of an inner tube. Debris produced during the abrading procedure is drawn by aspiration from the operative site through the suction region of the bearing tube and into the hollow inner tube.
Referring now to the drawings, where like elements are designated by like reference numerals,
Abrading head 20 is connected to inner tube 30 by a bearing assembly 23 and a solid transition region 24. Bearing assembly 23 fits precisely within bearing tube 50. Solid transition region 24 has a smaller diameter than bearing assembly 23 and the inside of bearing tube 50, forming an annular clearance around the solid transition region within bearing tube 50 and proximal to bearing assembly 23. The hollow inner tube 30 is provided with an opening 66 (
The abrading head 20 features a plurality of helical cutting flutes 12, which are arranged so that the abrading head 20 cuts more aggressively in a forward (clockwise) rotational direction than in the opposite rotational direction. The abrading head 20 is elongated and cylindrical, as shown in
The fixed bearing tube 50 of
A drive assembly 40 is disposed on the distal end of the inner tube assembly 10. The drive assembly 40 is securely attached to the inner tube 30 within hub 33. The transition between inner tube 30 and hub 33 features a thrust washer 34, which provides an axial bearing surface between inner tube assembly 10 and bearing tube assembly 50. Hub 33 is engaged by a compression spring 44 disposed within spring retainer 49 to allow attachment of a driver that engages drive tab 35.
Aspiration access ports 36 are formed radially in hub 33 and communicate with the lumen of inner tube 30. A driver assembly provides suction through the aspiration access ports. An outer hub 53 provided with distal opening 54 is securely attached to the proximal end of the fixed bearing tube 50. The outer hub 53 is designed to fit over and engage the thrust washer 34.
The inner and outer diameters of bearing tube 50 are uniform. Bearings 23 and 39 allow the inner tube 30 and the abrading head 20 to maintain an axial position relative to the bearing tube 50 during rotation of the inner tube 30. Bearings 23 and 39 each are formed of a sleeve 60, 62 of a lubricious heat-shrink polyolefin tubing material (MT 2000, RayChem). Distal bearing 23 is formed by shrink-wrapping sleeve 60 over an enlarged portion 38 of solid transition region 24. Proximal bearing 39 features sleeve 62 disposed by shrink-wrapping a sleeve into a groove formed in inner tube 30.
To better illustrate an exemplary surgical procedure conducted with the abrader 100 of the present invention, reference is now made to
Once abrading head 20 of the abrading instrument 100 is positioned in the proximity of the target tissue 99, the drive assembly 40 disposed at the distal end of the inner tube assembly 10 (
A plurality of longitudinal slots 255 is formed in bearing tube 250 proximal of distal bearing 223. Slots 255 provide a passageway located proximal to the abrader head 220, through which debris and pieces of bone or tissue produced by the abrading procedure are aspirated, as described above. Abrader 200 further includes a sheath tube 260 having a tapered or angled hooded sheath 265 extending distally. Hooded sheath 265 partially surrounds abrading head 220 and has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of bearing tube 250, and larger than the outer diameter of abrading head 220, forming a clearance between abrading head 220 and hooded sheath 265. A tapered transition 270 formed between sheath tube 260 and hooded sheath 265 flares to a maximum diameter where it joins hooded sheath 265, preferably at a location axially proximal to bearing 223. The tapered transition 270 and hooded sheath 265 provide a clearance that allows direct fluid access to slots 255. An alternative arrangement replaces slots 255 with a single opening, formed in the bearing tube on a side facing toward hooded sheath 265. The hooded sheath 265 protects the opening from becoming blocked during surgery by intact tissue adjacent the operative site.
The outer diameter of abrading head 220 preferably extends radially beyond the inner diameter of the bearing tube 250, and preferably is at least equal to the outer diameter of bearing tube 250, and more preferably extends to the outer diameter of sheath tube 260. As a result, an outer surface of the instrument serves as a guide for the abrading head 220, and allows for application of a maximum surface area of the abrading head to the treatment surface, without angling the abrader. A maximized outer diameter of abrading head 220 can be provided readily in a disposable abrader, which is used once and does not require disassembly to be prepared for a subsequent surgery.
Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and modifications and other uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following appended claims.

As Chris Ross, Top Shelf's director of digital publishing, said today during the company's Comic-Con International panel, that collection would give readers "a bachelor's degree in independent comics."
ComiXology is also holding a sale on other, less massive Top Shelf bundles: Double Barrel, American Elf, Lost Girls and Motorcycle Samurai.
The "Cyber-Con Sale" ends when Comic-Con does — Sunday. So you'll have to act fast.
SDCC | DC and Image hold hefty digital sales
Like comiXology and Marvel Unlimited, DC Entertainment and Image Comics are celebrating Comic-Con International with sales on select digital titles.
Through Tuesday, DC is marking the 75th anniversary of the Dark Knight by offering digital downloads of a whopping 750 Batman comics for 99 cents each. These aren't typical dollar-bin titles, however; they include The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween, No Man's Land, Year One, Hush, The Court of the Owls and All Star Batman & Robbin the Boy Wonder. If you're wanting to go way back, there are comics dating back to 1938, with Batman's debut in Detective Comics #27.
SDCC | Marvel offers another 99-cent Marvel Unlimited deal
If you've wanted to explore Marvel's massive digital archive, now's your chance: For the next week, in celebration of Comic-Con International, 99 cents will get you a month-long subscription to Marvel Unlimited and its online collection of more than 15,000 classic and newer comics, dating from the Golden Age to about six months ago.
The publisher offered a similar deal in March for South by Southwest; a monthly membership normally costs $9.99, while a basic annual subscription is $69.
SDCC | Where to find digital comics and webcomics
I've never been to a comics convention, but I can imagine it can be overwhelming — Comic-Con International especially, with its enormous exhibition hall, packed programming schedule and multiple venues. There's a webcomics presence, but it remains something of a niche. A quick scan of events, for example, turns up more presentations on how to become big on deviantART than anything directly connected with webcomics.
There's a powerfully strong digital comics representation, however. Perhaps this indicates a swing from the independent, comic strip-influenced world of webcomics to the formalized, floppy-inspired format of digital. Shoot, Publishers Weekly even arranged a panel to discuss that very thing on Friday morning with "Behind the Digital Line." Mark Waid has an entire panel devoted to pitching ideas to Thrillbent. Monkeybrain Comics will have a roundtable about the benefits of publishing digitally. And on Sunday, "Digital Comics: Going Beyond the Page" will feature a discussion with a panel that includes Waid (Thrillbent) and Ron Perraza (formerly of comiXology and DC's digital division).
ComiXology offers 100 comiXology Submit books for $10
ComiXology is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a deal that's pretty difficult to pass up: a bundle of 100 titles from comiXology Submit, its self-publishing platform for independent creators, for just $10.
That's 10 cents each for comics like Wolves by Becky Cloonan, Aw Yeah Comics! #1 by Art Baltazar, Franco and others, nemu*nemu: Out of This World by Audra Ann S. Furuichi, Feather #1 by Steve Uy, and The Pride #1 by Joe Glass, Marc Ellerby, Joshua Faith and Gavin Mitchell. Plus, y'know, 95 others.
'High Crimes': mountain of madness
One upon a time, an entire subcontinent crashed into the largest continent. Tectonic plates collided, sending rocks jutting toward the heavens. Jagged peaks formed formed the Himalayas, and looming higher than any other was Everest. Sir Edmund Hilary famously journeyed to the top of the world, a feat that inspired generations of explorers to believe that no place on Earth is unconquerable. But they're not always right, for on its icy, windswept cliffs, many an intrepid soul has succumbed to its perils. Everest is a mountain of madness. It's a mountain … of death.
Christopher Sebela and Ibrahim Moustafa's Eisner-nominated comic High Crimes (Monkeybrain) follows the thrilling, high-stakes adventure of a lost soul named Suzanne "Zan" Jansen. She was an avid snowboarder until her Olympic dreams were cruelly crushed by an injury. Haunted by failure, her days are spent in an unbreakable cycle of drinking and self-loathing. She ends up involved in a sordid occupation: finding the missing bodies of those who disappeared on climbing expeditions. The dirty work is done by her grizzled, older business partner Haskell, who chops a hand off the dead, then returns to base to have it stored in his freezer. The fingerprints are traced by a corrupt police officer, and the identity lets them know which families to bribe.
One day, Haskell is dealt a bad hand. Literally. It belongs to a decades-old corpse who used to be Sebastian Mars. He's not just a climber; he's a person of interest. Inside the severed hand, Zan discovers a capsule containing a rolled-up microfiche of secrets. It turns out that it's something like the Maltese Falcon: the stuff that dreams are made of, and a thing of extreme value to the wrong kinds of people.
'Bandette': the merry thief for France
This year, The Oatmeal dominates the Eisner Best Digital comic category as "the one that most people have heard of." That's pretty much in direct contrast to last year, which was populated by five relatively obscure titles. It's a testament, I think, to the far-reaching diversity of webcomics, where few ever become pop culture superstars but many have devoted fanbase. You had indie-style comics like Ant Comic and It Will All Hurt, the haunting short story Our Bloodstained Roof and the classic Thimble Theater-inspired art of Oyster War.
The eventual winner, though, was the one that most closely resembled a traditional comic. Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover's Bandette (Monkeybrain Comics) was the first Eisner winner that had to be downloaded from comiXology — a true "digital comic" as opposed to a "webcomic." I imagine that the familiar panel layout was the one least likely to send traditionalists into paroxysms. Heck, the tone of the story itself feels very much like a throwback to both Silver Age comic stories and European all-ages fare like The Adventures of Tintin. But so what? It's old school, and in a way that made it refreshingly novel.

When Bruni pooh-poohed the Charless whole newspaper-on-the-windows gimmick (the newspapers are at first funny, then odd, then just sort of sad), owner Cobi Levy told us that Cynthia Rowley, for one, adored the newspapers. He promptly replaced them with Brunis review, and the Charless aura of cheeky exclusivity lived on. But last night, nudged by the 75-degree weather, the restaurant opened its hinged windows and even its front door! Thats right, like Lindsay Lohan dropping the gauze veil, the Charles showed its cards!
Despite the need for air, the place hardly seemed like a celebrity hotbed, but then again the windows werent really open in the back maybe that was the VIP area and, like, Bobby D. was behind the newspapers, feasting on the $20 burger? Or maybe the hinge was just stuck who knows with this place! Either way, let this be word to the paparazzi that the ever-so-glamorous fashionistas of the Charles are now in plain view! (Maybe the paparazzi, unlike Bruni, can tell whether thats Maggie Gyllenhaal at the next table or just a trust-funded look-alike?)
Speaking of exclusive West Village lairs with window issues, we noticed the Beatrice has covered up its windows (with boards, not newspapers) after vandals apparently smashed them. Thatll show the doorman!

The snow covered Grampian Mountain range seen looking over the River Tay near the Village of Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane Region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means "Highland Scotland" in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter.
The Grampian Mountains or Grampians (Am Monadh in Gaelic) are one of the three major mountain ranges in Scotland, extending northeast to southwest and forming a natural barrier between the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands.
The Tay is Scotland longest river, meandering across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

GRANTS PASS — Oregon's state Board of Forestry is working on balancing a healthy timber industry with healthy salmon runs.
The board will vote today on taking the next step in developing rules governing how many trees must be left standing along streams to keep the water shaded and cool enough for salmon to survive.
It would be the first change to the riparian protections of the Oregon Forest Practices Act since 1994.
The question was raised by a 2011 study that found temperatures were getting warmer in salmon streams on state-regulated timberlands in the Coast Range.
The Department of Forestry is recommending the board go forward with analyzing the different logging prescriptions that would be needed to meet the cool water protection standards for small- and medium-sized streams with salmon, steelhead and bull trout, and their economic impact.
A final decision is months away and will take into account whether the changes create too much of a hardship on the timber industry.
