About Journal of Biological Engineering
Aims and scope | Open access | Article-processing charges | Indexing services | Publication and peer review process | Editorial policies | Citing articles in Journal of Biological Engineering | Why publish your article in Journal of Biological Engineering?
This page includes information about the aims and scope of Journal of Biological Engineering, editorial policies, open access and article-processing charges, the peer review process and other information. For details of how to prepare and submit a manuscript through the online submission system, please see the instructions for authors.
Aims & scope
Journal of Biological Engineering, the official journal of the Institute of Biological Engineering, is an open access, online journal that publishes articles on all aspects of biological engineering.
Biological engineering is an emerging discipline that encompasses engineering theory and practice connected to and derived from the science of biology, just as mechanical engineering and electrical engineering are rooted in physics and chemical engineering in chemistry. Topical areas include, but are not limited to:
- Synthetic biology and cellular design
- Engineering of biomolecular and cellular devices
- Bioproduction and bioproduct engineering
- Ecological and environmental engineering
- Biological engineering education and the biodesign process.
Journal of Biological Engineering provides a home for the continuum from biological information science, molecules and cells, product formation, wastes and remediation, and educational advances in curriculum content and pedagogy at the undergraduate and graduate-levels.
Manuscripts should explore commonalities with other fields of application by providing some discussion of the broader context of the work and how it connects to other areas within the field.
Open access
All articles published by Journal of Biological Engineering are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.
Authors of articles published in Journal of Biological Engineering are the copyright holders of their articles and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate the article, according to the BioMed Central copyright and license agreement.
For authors who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BioMed Central can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.
Article-processing charges
Open access publishing is not without costs. Journal of Biological Engineering therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1290/$2020/€1645 for each article accepted for publication. If the corresponding author's institution is a Member, the cost of the article-processing charge is covered by the membership, and no further charge is payable. In the case of authors whose institutions are Supporter Members, however, a discounted article-processing charge is payable by the author. We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
Indexing services

Publication and peer review process
Criteria for publication
Journal of Biological Engineering considers the following types of article:
- Research: reports of data from original research.
- Book Review: short summaries of the strengths and weaknesses of a book. They should evaluate its overall usefulness to the intended audience and are usually about 400 words.
- Letter to the Editor: they can take three forms: a substantial re-analysis of a previously published article, or a substantial response to such a re-analysis from the authors of the original publication, or an article that may not cover 'standard research' but that may be relevant to readers.
- Meeting Report: a short description of a conference that the author has attended. It is usually best for the article to be published as soon after the meeting as possible, and should focus on the key developments presented and discussed at the meeting. These articles are usually commissioned but reports and suggestions may also be submitted for the editors consideration.
- Methodology: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method. The article must describe a demonstrable advance on what is currently available. The method needs to have been well tested and ideally, but not necessarily, used in a way that proves its value.
- Review: comprehensive, authoritative, descriptions of any subject within the scope of the journal. These articles are usually written by opinion leaders that have been invited by the Editorial Board.
Peer-review policies
Journal of Biological Engineering has a 'closed' peer review policy. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by internationally recognized experts in the field of biological engineering. The peer review process will aim to ensure that all published manuscripts are scientifically sound and provide new scientific knowledge. Final decisions will be made by the Editor-in-Chief.
Edited by Mark A. Eiteman and Jeong-Yeol Yoon, Journal of Biological Engineering is supported by an expert Editorial Board.
Authors will be able to check the progress of their manuscript through the submission system at any time by logging into My Journal of Biological Engineering, a personalized section of the site.
High-quality, bound reprints can be purchased for all articles published. Please see our reprints website for further information about ordering reprints.
Journal of Biological Engineering will consider supplements based on proceedings (full articles or meeting abstracts), reviews or research. All articles submitted for publication in supplements are subject to peer review. Published supplements are fully searchable and freely accessible online and can also be produced in print. All full length articles (proceedings, reviews or research articles) are indexed by PubMed. PubMed displays the title of the supplement only in the case of meeting abstract collections. For further information, please contact us.
Editorial policies
All manuscripts submitted to Journal of Biological Engineering should adhere to BioMed Central's editorial policies.
Citing articles in Journal of Biological Engineering
Articles in Journal of Biological Engineering should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number.
Article citations follow this format:
Authors: Title. J Biol Eng [year], [volume number]:[article number].
e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. J Biol Eng 2009, 1:115.
refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal.
Why publish your article in Journal of Biological Engineering?
High visibility
Journal of Biological Engineering's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. Articles that have been especially highly accessed are highlighted with a 'Highly accessed' graphic, which appears on the journal's contents pages and search results.
Speed of publication
Journal of Biological Engineering offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles will be published with their final citation after acceptance, in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through Journal of Biological Engineering, BioMed Central and PubMed Central and will also be included in PubMed.
Online publication in Journal of Biological Engineering gives authors the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles).

The Rise Of The NBA SuperTeam.
Yeah, I know NFL camps are starting this week, and it's darn near sacrilege to be talking about any other sport, but what can I say? I'm not a football fan. Sure, I get my fantasy squad on, but that's more about talkin' smack with friends. Simply put, all the NFL is is a 2 month distraction before NBA training camp opens.
It seems like the Lakers just got their rings last week, but reality is, there hasn't been an NBA offseason with this much player movement in ages. And one trend that seems to be evolving is that the rich (much like in real life) are only getting richer. Welcome to the age of the SuperTeam. Here are your contestants.
Boston - The Celtics prolly would have made it back to the Finals had Kevin Garnett not gotten injured. So, to fortify the team's shaky frontline, they add Rasheed Wallace. Sheed gives them a stacked frontcourt, with Big Baby Davis, and Kendrick Perkins. It seems likely that the team will retain Stephon Marbury, and they're about to trade for Marquis Daniels, a guy who can play both guard positions. AB's Odds of Winning It All - 5 to 1.
Cleveland - The Cavs had the league's best record last year, but their date with destiny (and the ratings bonanza of Bron vs Kobe) was derailed when they were outplayed by a better Orlando team in the conference Finals. So, they remedy this by adding Shaquille O'Neal, with the express purpose of getting Lebron and Co. beyond the Magic. Uhhh, apparently they forgot about those Celtics. Additional pickups like Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon will help, but I just don't see a storybook ending here. On the bright side, no way Bron goes to NY. No way. I wouldn't be shocked to see him sign an extension before the season tips off. Odds - 10 to 1.
Orlando - Tasting the Finals (albeit briefly) was motivation enough for the Magic to go all out and add to their shaky depth in hopes of getting another shot at the title. They traded for Vince Carter, signed free agents Brandon Bass and Matt Barnes to reasonable contracts, and made a fatal error by matching a horrendous offer sheet for knock-kneed big man Marcin Gortat, a guy who makes John Koncak look like Wilt Chamberlain. Oh, and they also let their best crunch time player, Hedo Turkoglu, walk to the Raptors. Bad move. Odds - 11 to 1.
Lakers - Picking up Ron Artest is one of those unnecessary risks that can either ruin a team's season or push them over the edge. Essentially trading him for Trevor Ariza is a step up. However, if the team lets Lamar Odom bolt to the Heat over a lousy $2M pissing match, cancel all bets. Since this is still up in the air, I can't give them a grade. Odds - Incomplete.
Portland - A brief playoff run showed them that they needed a point guard to be the glue guy for their ultra talented squad. Picking up veteran Andre Miller fills a bunch of holes and gives Nate McMillan a quarterback who can get them to the 2nd round. Unfortunately, all their young players are going to need to be paid very soon, which means somebody is getting traded. And that Greg Oden over Kevin Durant picks looks worse and worse in retrospect. Imagine how much further along they'd be if they'd gotten that one right. Odds - 25 to 1.
Mavericks - After surprising a geriatric Spurs team last Spring, Mark Cuban and Co. made some aggressive moves to get back to the Finals. Picking up Shawn Marion, Tim Thomas, and Drew Gooden to join the forward tandem of Dirk Diggler and Josh Howard probably means a lot more small ball is coming. They did nothing to address their guard situation other than resigning Jason Kidd, a guy who still couldn't score if he had a pocketful of roofies. Do they even have a guard that's taller than 6-4 on the roster? That's not gonna cut it. Odds - 15 to 1.
Spurs - With Tim Duncan's window rapidly closing, the Spurs made some daring moves to improve their overall talent base. Getting a scorer like Richard Jefferson for a bag of chips and a soda was a steal. Adding Antonio McDyess, Theo Ratliff, and rookie Dejuan Blair to the frontcourt takes some of the pressure off TD. I still think they need some help at guard, where Manu Ginobili is not getting younger, and Tony Parker often looks like he'd rather be on Wisteria Lane than the AT&T Center. Can you say Iverson? Odds - 7 to 1.
Others Considered - Washington (smart trades and health will determine outcome), Atlanta (stacked with guards), Toronto (not deep, but Turkoglu helps), New Orleans (Okafor trade fortifies the front line), Clippers (look awesome on paper).
Question: Which NBA SuperTeam has the best shot at winning the title?

I would say Atlanta but I know they ain't close HOWEVER, they did keep that team intact - Marvin, ZaZa and Mike are still in the building. The question becomes whether Joe will stay and that is still that great unknown.

My basketball comment: Boston will take it all the way. Garnett has been steaming ever since the playoffs. No way will he let that team fall this year.
My football comment: OH, GOD that Madden NFL 10 demo is the shyte! The game drops on the 14th. They've literally stolen from the legendary NFL 2K5 in the presentation. The new gang tackling is awesome. That game is READY!

I didn't want to think about this question, especially after the Bobcats came close to their first playoff berth.
"Do you not think this franchise isn't capable of one more ginormous screw up?"
The Okafor trade unfortunately clinched it.

great review. just recently i began to love the NBA again. i haven't broken any remote controls like i use to, but there's always hope.
what u think about Chi-town's Bulls AB?

Davis is a restricted FA. The Celts are going to match anything reasonable, so he's staying. Leon Powe is the one that is leaving.
@ Ciara
The Hawks are interesting. They kept everyone and added some more pieces (Jeff Teague/Jamal Crawford). I don't think this gets them to the "next level", but it maintains status quo, which is probably ok for now.
@ BeatsBeast
Sorry, I don't see how you got better. Charlie V is a one dimensional scorer. So is Gordon. Neither is a proven winner at the NBA level, yet you just capped yourself out with them, and you still have question marks at C and PG.
@ CJames
Ed The Sportsfan does the football stuff. I'll run some of his posts once the NFL season approaches.
@ Tunde
No Lakers? Even with Odom resigned? Wow.
You could be right about that Boston prediction.
Have you seen NCAA Football 10? You can design your own jerseys with your own uploaded custom logo on the EA website, then download to game. Freakin' amazing!
@ MsNegro
You're probably right. Celts/Lakers rematch!
You are now witnessing the curse of MJ. I lived thru it for 4 years here in DC. The sooner he and Bob Johnson and gone, the better for that franchise.
That Okafor trade was little more than cost cutting to made the sale of the team more attractive. Cause let's face it, eventually selling the team for a profit is the only reason Bob Johnson got into this anyway. He's publicly admitted that much.
Him beating out Larry Bird to win the franchise rights is a rare glaring example of Affirmative Action gone terribly wrong.
@ NatNub
The Bulls are in a tough place. They have just enough talent to probably make the playoffs again, but not enough to go past 1st round.
They need to package some of their many pieces and make a run at Carlos Boozer.

Pittsburgh • Utah linebacker Brian Blechen said he couldn't wait to travel to Pittsburgh for Saturday's rematch with the Panthers even though the Utes are on a two-game slide and without their No. 1 quarterback.
He isn't afraid that the Panthers might be more than the Utes can handle at this point.
"If you want to play big ball you have to play big opponents," he said. "We talk about wanting to be the best so we have to play the best. It's something we enjoy. There are losses, but you expect to win them all; we have all the confidence in the world in ourselves and like these opportunities."
He'd better enjoy today's nonconference game to its fullest extent, then, since it's doubtful the Utes will have more opportunities like this in the future.
Now that the Utes are in the Pac-12, there isn't as much of a necessity for the Utes to schedule strong, out-of-conference opponents for strength of schedule purposes as there was in the past.
Ideally, the Utes will schedule one strong opponent and two lesser ones for their nonconference games.
The reason for the philosophy is apparent in the Utes' current situation. The team is beat up and struggling in its first year of playing in the Pac-12. As game as Blechen is to take on the Panthers, it might be nice to have a game with the outcome secured early and let some key players rest in the second half.
"You do worry about that," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said of the season wearing on a team. "But we had a blueprint before we joined the conference so it'll change in the future."
Utah athletic director Chris Hill said he didn't try to buy Utah's way out of the game, feeling the Utes had an obligation to play at Pitt since the Panthers visited last year.
"Sometimes I think I should have," he joked. "This was an ideal schedule, five, six, seven years ago when we were on the Mountain West and had our eyes on the Big East to prove we were worthy of the BCS. It was a great game then, but our schedule is awfully aggressive this year with us being in the early stages of the Pac-12. It might be even too aggressive nonconference."
While it's not set in stone, Utah's rivalry game with BYU takes care of the strong opponent for the future. The Utes are also scheduled to play Utah State the next three seasons, so presumably the other open game will be a team along the lines of Montana State, Utah's opponent for the 2011 opener.
However, Hill said the Utes continue to examine whether it is viable to play BYU or Utah State.
"This is all still a work in progress for us," he said. "We're just getting our toes in the water so it makes absolutes very difficult."
Whittingham said going east has some advantages since it gives the Utes more national exposure, but overall the Utes would like to stay west for recruiting purposes.
"In general, you want to pick spots for your games where your recruiting footprint is," he said.
Such a schedule might not send a rush of fans to the ticket windows, but it is preferred, particularly at a time when the Utes are still building the depth they feel is necessary to compete in the Pac-12.
That lack of depth is a concern today for the Utes, who face a strong Pitt team led by running back Ray Graham, the second-leading rusher in the nation, averaging 149.83 yards a game. Also of concern is quarterback Tino Sunseri, who was 16-for-28 for 184 yards last year in Utah's overtime win. His top receivers this year are Graham, who has 27 catches for 190 yards, and Mike Shanahan, who has 22 catches for 254 yards.
"It's going to be a good challenge for us," Whittingham said. "They had a tough loss last week [against Rutgers] but they beat an exceptionally good South Florida team in a rout at their place so it is going to be a good challenge."
While the team's attitude has been good in practice, Whittingham said it is important the Utes get a win today.
"Whether it's a conference game or nonconference game is irrelevant," he said. "We've dropped two in a row and that is a horrible feeling. The only way to get it out of your system is to get a win."
Still, as much of a challenge as it is and as crucial as a win seems for the program, the players say they wouldn't want it any other way.
"This whole program loves challenging games," receiver Dres Anderson said. "If we're going to have success in this division we have to play good teams and we like the competition and being in the spotlight. We know we need a win and we want to win for all Ute nation."

After installing a rear and front hitch on a Ford E350 this thing was a welcome reprieve. All of the instructions for any hitch say something like, "installs in 20-30 minutes" Maybe by an Indy 500 Hitch Crew, but no, not really. This thing bolted right into the existing welded in nuts (thanks Volvo for once) and I actually had it installed in 30 minutes. No jack, just a headlamp and a socket set.

Economic recovery in the industry Pubblicato il: 18/05/2011
- Autore:
- DG Enterprise and Industry/Unit B2.
The dynamic economic recovery in industry and manufacturing continues, while construction industry still remains in decline. However, the recent (modest) declines in business and consumer confidence could serve as first indications both that the pace of industrial recovery normalises somewhat, and that the fiscal retrenchment in countries with excessive deficits and debts leaves its first skid marks in the dynamics of the recovery. First signals indicating that the decline in construction output may eventually bottom out remain rather fragile.
In February industrial output continued its upward trend and was some 15% higher than at the time of the trough in early 2009. However, it was still almost 8% below its former peak in early 2008. The three months data to February 2011 show that production continues to recover in the majority of sectors. A robust recovery has taken place especially in the sectors producing capital goods and motor vehicles industries. In contrast, tobacco products, wearing apparel, and coke and refined petroleum products have registered the biggest declines in recent months. Construction output is still around its trough despite a small month-on-month increase in seasonally adjusted output in February. Still, the overall trend adjusted construction output in February continued to decline and was about 20% below its cyclical peak in January 2008. In contrast, data and forecasts for services, including tourism, remain positive. However, the recovery in output of business services is rather moderate.
Extra-EU exports have strongly recovered and oscillate now around the levels of their former peak. Growth in intra-EU trade, internal demand and private consumption in contrast is less dynamic and lags behind, reflecting less dynamic overall output growth in Europe as compared to the rest of the world.
Data on the fourth quarter of 2010 confirm that employment in manufacturing has been stabilising. Since the cyclical peak in 2008, manufacturing jobs have contracted by some 11.4%, broadly the same size as the current fall in output. The recovery of industrial output allowed for short-term working being largely phased out in industry, but the unemployment rate remains at a high level.
Looking at the situation in the Member States, substantial differences can still be noticed, even if the recovery is now visible in the vast majority of countries. There are an increasing number of countries where annual output growth in industry has exceeded 10%, with Estonia, Sweden, Lithuania and Germany in the lead. In contrast, Greece continues to experience a reduction of output, whereas Portugal and Spain so far only see a bottoming out of output contraction. Business and consumer confidence was especially dented in the UK, where contractive fiscal retrenchment is also very pronounced.

Have Job Board, Will Recruit
It's a love that baffles. People's passion for job boards annoy many workforce experts. But it's a resource that people rely on heavily.
And a recent survey by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) indicates that staffing firms are not immune to its appeal.
"Given that job boards have the highest bang to buck return on spend/effort when it comes to recruiting temporary workers, I see the attraction," says Jon Osborne, SIA's VP of Strategy. Job boards scored higher than recruiting tactics like hiring from existing candidate lists, referral bonuses, listing jobs on company website, advertising one's firm etc.
The survey also revealed that Monster, Indeed,LinkedIn and CareerBuilder were the most commonly used job boards/social media sites by temporary workers when looking for an assignment. Dice is also a big player for IT jobs as is Craigslist in office/clerical.
But the fact is that there is no one job board or social media site for all careers. Healthcare practitioners, for instance, follow the beat of their own drum. Ten percent of this group don't use any job boards or social media at all. Interestingly, they are much more likely to turn to staffing agencies for help. Even sites like Facebook and Twitter are not widely utilized by temps to look for gainful employment.
Perm or contingent – the classification is irrelevant when it comes to finding quality workers. At the end of the day, buyers and staffing agencies have to go where the workers are. As a recruiter or a hiring manager, it's your responsibility to know where your tribe hangs out. You can only engage the best if you know where these workers dwell. And that in most cases mean traversing the job boards.

Robinson Homepage
Welcome Back to School.
I am very excited to start the new school year and get to know all of my new students. I know that, together, we can make this a sucessful year!
Getting to Know Mrs. Robinson
After I graduated from Elsik High School in Alief, I went to Fordham University in New York and graduated in 1997 with a business degree in finance and marketing. I wasn't quite ready to come home, so I worked in Manhattan for seven years as an account executive.
I always knew I wanted to teach, but didn't get the courage to try until I had my fill of the big city. I went back to school (Coastal Carolina University) and got my second degree in education. Then I made my parents happy by convincing my husband to move back to Houston. I always knew I was a Texas girl at heart.
I am a huge Longhorn fan and will cheer for them until my last breath, but I do have close friends who are Aggies and that friendship has only grown stronger through our healthy rivalry.
My daughter, Lilah, was born December 25, 2010 and is growing and changing everyday. I share stories about her and show the students pictures as she gets older. I never realized time goes by so fast when you are raising children.
I love animals and currently have two dogs. I treat them like my children and constantly talk about them like a doting parent.
I feel that all my students are a part of my family and I want them to succeed and grow as any parent would.
Very Sincerely,
Trish Robinson
PS: If your child is involved in any activity outside of school such as a sporting event or with fine arts, I have told them to let me know...I love to watch them excel in other areas outside of school! Send me a schedule!!!

A reader writes:
One thing to mention about the letter is that the Franciscans are a Mendicant Order: they survive on charity donations. They aren't tied into the massive wealth and prestige of the Catholic Church's "business/political" arm. Take away the power and wealth of the Catholic's cardinals and pope, and the political games that come with that power and wealth, and you might get … Christianity?
Well, there's a reason I turned to Saint Francis in my own attempt to explain Christianity's essence. Another adds:
The friars are not coming to the nuns' "rescue." They are not helpless damsels, and painting them as such plays right into the line of thinking that the Vatican wants people to perpetuate. "Defense" is fine and appropriate. "Rescue" is demeaning and counter to your good work on this issue thus far.
Point taken (see headline). Another writes:
Like you, I was heartened by the Franciscans' letter. But my eyebrows went up at this line (in italics):
"Finally, when there appears to be honest disagreement on the application of moral principles to public policy, it is not equivalent to questioning the authority of the Church's magisterium. Although the Catholic moral tradition speaks of agreement regarding moral principles, it also – from the Middle Ages through today – speaks of appropriate disagreement regarding specific application of these principles. Unfortunately, the public communications media in the U.S. may not recognize this distinction."
The good friars should know, as well as anyone, that the issue isn't the "public communications media" not recognizing the distinction; it's the Vatican, and a 'Rome Has Spoken' policy that dates back to the start of John Paul II's pontificate.
As this excellent National Catholic Reporter article points out, the nuns are being condemned over two areas.
One is a speech given in 2007 by Sr. Laurie Brink, a Dominican, who made the statement during a presentation on different models of religious life that "the God of Jesus might well be the God of Moses and the God of Mohammed" for some religious women. That statement, as America magazine noted, was used to describe choices the religious face — in this case "sojourning to a land unknown" — choices that included letting congregations die or engaging in total obedience to the Church.
Brink said her preference was for a fourth model of "reconciliation" with the Church, in which religious women and bishops understand the choices before them and move together in the common purpose of their mission. It is not, as the Congregation for the Defense of the Faith alleged, "a challenge . . . to core Catholic beliefs," because she wasn't advocating nuns adopt Judaic or Islamic conceptions of God; Brink said it was one of many options religious women face as they grow closer in their relationship to God.
But that nuance doesn't seem to matter to the Vatican.
The second instance, according to the CDF, is that certain leaders of the religious orders (not stated in the letter) have written letters "protesting the Holy See's actions" in relation to the ordination of women and ministry to homosexuals. "The terms of the letters," the CDF statement says, "suggest that these sisters collectively take a position not in agreement with the Church's teaching on human sexuality. It is a serious matter when these Leadership Teams are not providing effective leadership and example to their communities, but place themselves outside the Church's teaching."
Got that? The mere act of writing a letter in protest — the act of disagreement — constitutes a break with the Church. There is no evidence the nuns have declared they can administer the Eucharist or bless a union of a loving gay couple; discussion alone brings the wrath of Rome. The letter goes on to say:
"Some speakers claim that dissent from the doctrine of the Church is justified as an exercise of the prophetic office. But this is based upon a mistaken understanding of the dynamic of prophecy in the Church: it justifies dissent by positing the possibility of divergence between the Church's magisterium and a "legitimate" theological intuition of some of the faithful. "Prophecy," as a methodological principle, is here directed at the Magisterium and the Church's pastors, whereas true prophecy is a grace which accompanies the exercise of the responsibilities of the Christian life and ministries within the Church, regulated and verified by the Church's faith and teaching office. Some of the addresses at LCWR-sponsored events perpetuate a distorted ecclesiological vision, and have scant regard for the role of the Magisterium as the guarantor of the authentic interpretation of the Church's faith."
In other words: God speaks to us bishops. Your vision, formed from prayer and real-world experience? Just a hunch.
If the Catholic Church's leadership well and truly recognizes the value of appropriate disagreement, it has a narrow understanding of what disagreement entails. To them, it's reserved for bishops behind closed doors, and not a matter for those who go out into the world to fulfill the charge of Christ.

Sedalia Weekly Observer
Another step was taken Wednesday on the long journey to bring the Trails End project to fruition when a ground-breaking ceremony was held at the northeast corner of the Missouri State Fairgrounds, which is where the project will be on permanent display.
Ed Watkins addressed those attending the ceremony, which was originally postponed a couple of weeks due to extremely soggy conditions at the site.
Several members of the Trails End Committee, as well as over a dozen donors and contributors to the project were lined up behind brand new shiny shovels for a photo opp, including Sedalia's two mayors — outgoing Mayor Elaine Horn, and Mayor Elect Steve Galliher, and Pettis County Presiding Commissioner John Meehan. Also behind the shovel were former Western Commissioner Larry Wilson and State Fair Director Mark Wolfe, as well as major financial contributors Barb and Robert Hayden.
"People have done a remarkable job in terms of community awareness, getting the word out, working on the renovation of the cars," Watkins noted.
He singled out developer David Curry for donating office space for Trails End Committee members. "He's been very supportive of everything we've done."
Sedalia artist Madge Gressley was lauded for her "extraordinary job" on the project's graphics, along with artist Myrna Ragar.
The donors were praised by Watkins for collectively raising over $500,000 for the project. That includes cash, pledges and in-kind contributions.
A large quantity of fill dirt has already been built up at the site by Mike Brown of B&P Excavating. And Ron Ditzfeld was also recognized for his tireless transportation contributions through Ditzfeld Transfer. Septagon's Gary McMullin was recognized for the construction supervision of the project. Former Democratic Sen. Jim Mathewson was credited by Watkins for his longtime efforts to promote Sedalia. Republican Sen. Mike Parson arranged meetings between Trails End and the Missouri State Department of Economic Development, the head of Missouri Tourism, the Department of Agriculture amd the Department of Natural Resources. Sen. Parson was unable to attend the ceremony.
Trails End Committee member Dr. Doug Kiburz gave an overview of the project during his portion of the program.
He noted all the Missouri connections to the Great Westward Expansion, mentioning the Gateway Arch, Lewis & Clark, and of course Sedalia and its role in the migration of six million cattle. from the Shawnee Trail to the Sedalia Trail, "wihch made us the first cowtown," Dr. Kiburz said. Pres. Lincoln was responsible for the Homestead Act, which connected the east with the west through railroads. "At one time, there were over five different railroads (in Sedalia) … And that makes us a hub, the lynchpin of the movement going to the West."
Trails End is a piece of American history, he stressed, adding that several components of the project have been unearthed from all over the US and relocated to Sedalia to make the project come alive.
Kiburz concluded his speech with a toot on a wooden train whistle.
A bronze stature of a cowboy mounted on a horse in being created by artist Michael Wilson in Salt Lake City.
Phase one of the fund-raising efforts is compete and the cost of the bronze pieces are paid for. Phase two is under way to cover the cost of the repairs to the cattle car and engine and for the water tower and windmill that will complete the site. Many local contractors are donating their labor and materials for the site development, so that saves on the overall costs. Volunteers are working to rebuild the train pieces, which also helps to keep down the costs, it was earlier reported by the group.
Plans call for a sidewalk to connect the parking area behind the plaza to the walkway around the sculptures. Bricks to line the sidewalk are being sold so that donors can honor friends and family with their names engraved as part of the monument. Photos by Randy Kirby, Sedalia Weekly Observer.

Remembering our past - Pleasant Valley Primary School celebrates Jamaica day in style
Horace Fisher, STAR Writer
Pleasant Valley Primary School observed Jamaica Day with a number of entertaining historical and cultural presentations that delighted the 138 students, staff and scores of parents in Pleasant Valley, Clarendon, Friday.
The annual calendar event, which was observed under the theme, Celebrating Jamaica: sporting greatness in my community, took on added significance at Pleasant Valley Primary, the alma mater of Jamaica's sporting icon, Herb McKenley, where the legendary 400-metre Olympian began his athletic greatness.
The school's principal, Marvelene Carney-Russell, told The Star that Jamaica Day is a lesson in where we are coming from as a nation and an opportunity for an oversight on where we want to go. She said children in many schools are disconnected from Jamaica's past, and events like Jamaica Day will reconnect them to the history.
enlighten students
"Apart from the fun and excitement, Jamaica Day is an opportunity to enlighten our students about the nation's history," principal Carney-Russell said.
The excited students were treated to a variety of foods, dances (maypole and Classic Flexx dancers) drumming, poems, marches, cultural music, skits, and safety measures from the May Pen's police's Community Safety and Security branch.

"Select Language"

Banishing the bah-humbug spirit"
The Boston Globe
Dec. 11, 2008
LePage began "performing" by bringing history to life through improvised portrayals of real people from the past,
first with the National Park Service and other historic sites and museums from Oregon to British Columbia for over 8 years. He's developed and given presentations, and written, performed, and produced his own one-man shows, all in character, specializing in early Pacific Northwest history spanning from Lewis & Clark to the beginning of Oregon statehood. He's also appeared on the nationally televised PBS "History Detectives" series over three seasons in roles ranging from a bartender to Robert E. Lee! He's addressed the Oregon House of Representatives as pioneer legislator "Robert Newell," and appeared on OPB's Oregon Experience's Road to Statehood episode during the Oregon Sesquicentennial as the bearded French Canadian, Etienne Lucier. Oregon Public Broadcasting produced and premiered LePage portraying "Englishman Thomas Hutchinson, Traveling Thespian" on Christmas Eve 2010, broadcasting his own shortened version of Dickens' Christmas Carol as a one-hour radio program on stations throughout the state since then. He continues to "live in the past" each year during the holidays with dramatic readings of "A Christmas Carol" to benefit charity in the guise of a ficticious "Victorian Englishman," giving them in the same manner as Dickens actually did, either using or based upon the author's own historic script! One of his sweetest performances was as the "visiting preacher" when he gave his 30-minute version as a "narrative sermon" for a church in England for their Christmas morning service!
"Bringing history to life by portraying people from past," says LePage, "is a very powerful way to engage people
, and connect them with the history of where they live. Great stories can make people more aware of the reality around them, connecting them with others and within themselves for greater understanding and compassion. Live drama can bring these great stories to life in a way that provides both entertainment and insight. And sure, I'm 'performing' but it's really more than that for me. I'm really preaching, it's like being able to give one of the best sermons I've ever heard in my life, over and over again! I'm on fire! It feels so meaningful. Hence it truly is a performance with passion and purpose. So, given all this and the themes of personal transformation and charity in Dickens 'A Christmas Carol,' it simply makes a lot of sense to donate my time and talents to benefit others through dramatic readings of this particular story."
Hunger is most often the concern that LePage's
Christmas Carol
performances seek to prevent.
In fact, it was something LePage experienced as a young man when the Boston school he'd been working at as a teacher unexpectedly closed over the winter holiday break. His savings were meager, and deciding not to go on unemployment at the time, struggled to make ends meet. He decided to pay his bills and had little money left for food. So, he got hungry for the very first time in his life. He was not starving, of course, but remembers it being winter and spring, and he felt cold and hungry, and may even have been slightly malnourished as time went on. That experience has stuck with him ever since, and that's why his primary focus is to donate all proceeds to benefit organizations that help prevent hunger close to home.
I've always had this thing about making some sort of very personal connection with the places and people of times past,"
says LePage,
"ever since I took a trip across the country as a young man to experince and learn about America's significant natural and historic sites. Maybe it started on my first stop in Philadelphia, when during a tour of Independance Hall, I asked if I could play the piano there, and the tour guide said, "yes!" I played a short piece I had composed to the delight of those in the tour group, my first audience perhaps? But my connections grew over time and continued. During the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial I walked 16 miles along the same approximate route similarly done by Captain Clark himself to finally reach the Pacific Ocean on the same historic calendar date, 200 years to the day. I did MY first real performance in the Pacific Northwest at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in 2000, where THE first real performances happend in the Pacific Northwest in 1845! Performing in Boston, on location where Charles Dickens himself actually did both his first reading in America at the historic Parker House Hotel, and where he gave his first public performance on the very same historic calendar date in the existing concert hall venue at 88 Tremont Street took my personal connection to the places and people of history to new heights! But when I first performed in England for the very same charity Dickens himself did in Birmingham, England, with one of his great grandsons in attendance, plus the opportunity to later visit and stand on the same stage Dickens gave the performance in 1853 . . . it was more dream than reality.
LePage, a native of Framingham, MA, besides being a performer/producer is also the director of the non-profit trail organization he founded in 1994 and still passionate about its mission of "Keeping the Coast for Everyone" through trails, public access and coastal preservation. He's performed Dickens' Christmas Carol since 2006, beginning in the USA, then Canada, and eventually in England, too.
During 2013 his awareness of being in a major life transition continued to be validated within himself, which currently includes his firm decisionnot to perform
The Carol
during next year's 2014 holiday season
(Please revisit this website for updates in late 2015.)
He currently resides in Portland, Oregon with his
, beautiful and loving cat, Olivia!

Well, obtainable varies country by country.
In the US, almost anything is obtainable, either as new, or from surplus shops.
For example, I got some nice 20 button calculator keypads from Surplus Sales of Nebraska, had not seen anything that else where, just standard 12/16 button velleman keypads.
www.mpja.com has lots of nice surplus stuff, got really bright (3,000mcd, 5,000mcd, 10,000mcd!) LEDs for like 18cents each, shipped next day, no waiting for shipment from China. Also 90dB 2" speakers for $1.49!
If you're just breadboarding stuff, the list of needed stuff is different than if you're actually assembling something, in which case a hoard of #4 nuts, bolts, plastic spacers/standoffs, headers and things to plug into them all come in handy. I stocked up on pololu crimp connector housings and terminated male-male, female-female, and male-female wires so I could have some options for assembling projects.

fair enough, but to the newbie the question still remains :
which datasheets should I know by heart (except the AVR ones) ?
2n2222 ? bc547 ? ...
a sort of "determination table" to pinpoint a component for a general use would be very handy.
maybe I will start one myself on the playground.

Re: Need Suggestion Common Parts for Arduino Projects
Jan 20, 2011, 04:49 pm
Unless you're designing the same function over & over, why would you know any part by heart? There's too many of them these days. It is easy to look stuff up online. I put everything I do on a schematic (expresspcb.com has a very quick to learn & easy to use schematic capture tool, easy to create a new symbol or modify an existing one) and check the wiring against that as I build it up, either on a breadboard (for testing or wirewrapping (using sockets soldered on perfboard generally, for more permanent creations. Occasionally I'll do an actual PCB if I plan to make more than one).
How else can you record it, share it with others, ask for help?
In just a couple of minutes, you can insert a couple of symbols, connect some pins, save it & post it to web via flickr or similar, and the world can give you some suggestions. How often do you see "my circuit doesn't work" followed by "post a drawing if what you have" from one of us?
And none of that fritzing nonsense - symbols with pin names so we can easily see that you have a NPN transistor being used to try and incorrectly switch the voltage source on/off vs the ground side for example.
Once you start using the proper tools, the design/debug gets a lot easier. Then the parts don't matter so much - you can make the same circuit lots of ways.
For example, suppose you need a shift out register, but don't have one, and further that you want to drive 4 LEDs in a string from 12V?
You can fake a shift register multiple ways - use an octal latch or octal register chip, like a 74xx373 or 74xx374, or some if its variants - xx573, xxxx574 (go to www.ti.com and do a search for octal latch). Just wire output 0 back to input 1, 1 to 2, etc,
Then driving the LEDs you can use separate NPN, or N-Channel transistors. Or you can use a couple of 7406 (which is only a hex part unfortunately) which can take 30V outputs. Or a ULN2803, an octal version that can sink an impressive 500mA!
Best bet altogether is the TPIC6B595, which combine the shift-out register and the high current driver
So how you get to a final solution kinda depends on what you have on hand, and what you are able to get your hands on via online ordering, or sampling (TI just sent me 5 samples of tpic6b595 that I will try out in place of 74F374s/7406s I have wired up now), or scrounging out of dead electronics. For example, I have an epson inkjet printer with some nice motors, we are disassembling it while we come up with an idea of what to with it (ditched our forever drying up inkjet printers & got an HP CP1215 color laserjet instead - printing is now sweet!) - wife is thinking persistence of vision thing, I am thinking stepper motor? not so sure! But there also power supply usable parts - actually a whole power supply board that can be removed as one little module - nice! Will have to power it up & put meter on the output, see what is available )
Not much help I know when just starting out. Come up with a project idea, put it on paper, at least as a block diagram, submit it with questions "what would be a good part choice for this use in this application". Then when you start obtaining parts for a project, get a few extra, start building up a collection that you'll have for future projects.

Updated some parts, now I'm considering to put common stepper motor driver such as ULN2003 or L293 is that make sense?

Big Game 7 will atone for mistake
Kevan Miller is a 26-year-old undrafted rookie from Southern California who did something Monday night that 26-year-old undrafted rookies sometimes do: He lost track of the puck behind his own net, put his goaltender in a tough spot and cost his team a goal.
It happens. Miller, a body-banger and a grunt with one goal and five assists in his NHL career, screwed up two minutes into Game 6, and Montreal center Lars Eller took advantage, beating a sprawled out Tuukka Rask with a backhand to give the Canadiens a 1-0 lead.

Graduation and Beyond
Students who are graduating often have many questions about what their status will be after graduation or about what they need to consider when returning home. This list is a brief overview of what students should consider upon graduation in regards to their immigration status.
- Apply for Graduation and the Commencement Ceremony. Please see the following pages for more information on applying for graduation. Undergraduates or Graduate students.
- Graduation date. For undergraduates, this is the last day of the semester in which you graduated. For example, May 14, 2011 is the last date of the Spring 2011 term and would also be your graduation date. "Graduation" for graduate students means the date on which your final copy of your thesis or dissertation was submitted to the Graduate School.
- The 60-day grace period. After graduation, students are allowed a 60-day grace period in which they can apply for OPT, get accepted to a new school and transfer your I-20 to that school, get accepted to start a new educational level at NDSU, or depart the United States.
- If you remain in the U.S. past the end of your 60-day grace period or past the expiration of your I-20 without graduating, you will be out of status.
- If your I-20 expires in the future, your I-20 will end for immigration purposes on the date of your graduation. For example - if your I-20 expired on 05/14/2012 but you graduated on 05/14/2011, your I-20 ends when you graduated in 2011 and is no longer valid into 2012.
- If you cannot make arrangements within 60 days for the options given above, you should return to your home country. If you wish to return at a later point to NDSU or begin at a new school, you can return home and then apply for admission at NDSU or another school and re-enter later using a new I-20.
- Applying for OPT. Students may apply for OPT up to 3 months before graduation and up to 60 days after. OPT applications submitted more than 60 days after graduation or the expiration of your I-20 will not be accepted by USCIS. Please read our Employment pages for more information on OPT.
- Transferring to a new school. You must request the OIP to transfer your record within 60 days after graduation and you must start school in the next available term. Please see our Transferring to Another School page for more information on the transfer process.
- Starting a new educational level at NDSU. Within 60 days of graduation from NDSU, you must get accepted to a new program at NDSU and receive a new I-20 for that program.

Rodeo competitors take time out for fun with disabled kids
firstname.lastname@example.com / 325-676-6763
High School students competing in the Texas High School Rodeo Finals took a break Wednesday afternoon to run the Cavender's Special Kids Rodeo and Party.
During the afternoon rodeo, the high school students helped mentally disabled children get a taste of the rodeo life. The students set up different rodeo stations throughout the arena and helped the children, who were riding stick horses, practice their roping, barrel racing, bull riding, and steer pulling. The children even had the option to take a ride on a real horse.
The horse ride was very popular, and 4-year-old Olivia Saucedo said that was her favorite part. Her mother, Kristina Saucedo said this was Olivia's second time at the rodeo and she was very excited.
Olivia has cerebral palsy and her mother said coming to the rodeo helps with Olivia's disability.
She said it was a good opportunity for Olivia to have fun and interact with others.
"We always have fun at the rodeo," Kristina Saucedo said, "When they called us, we wanted to come."
Jean Garvin, secretary of pediatrics at West Texas Rehabilitation Center, organized the event on the patient side. She said 36 children between the ages of 5 and 15 came to Wednesday's rodeo.
"I love it," Garvin said. "It's wonderful to see the kids smile."
She said she appreciated what the high school rodeo contestants do for the children.
At the rodeo, each child receives a hat, a stick horse, and a bag containing a belt buckle, water bottle, candy, a roping glove and hat patches.
Garvin said the kids are always very excited when they come back to therapy wearing their hats and riding around on their horses.
Shane McCune, of Alvin, and Rowdy Haferkamp, of Cuero, compete in team roping together, but on Wednesday, they worked together to help children rope dummy cows.
"It blows their mind when they walk into the coliseum," McCune said.
Both competitors have helped before and said they and the kids were having a fun time.
Parents of the children and the competitors were allowed in the arena to take pictures and watch their children. Stacy Nelson, of Brazoria, is a parent of one of the high school students volunteering. She said the children weren't the only ones having a good time.
"I think the high school students get more out of it than the kids," Nelson said. "They learn to give back to the community."
Sarah Green, of Huntsville, said she was required to attend the event because she is the state secretary, but that was not the reason she was there. She led a 9-year-old boy to all the stations and said it was fun to be around the children.
"They're blessed in a way that makes people appreciate and realize what they have," Green said.
Garvin said she has been bringing children to the special kids rodeo for 14 years and plans to come back again next year. For many students, Wednesday wasn't their first time to help in the special kids rodeo either.
Garrett Denson, of Trinity, said this was his second year to help with the rodeo. He spent his time showing the children the basics of roping and said the children were really enjoying it.
"They don't get to do stuff normal kids do, so it's really cool that they get to do what we get to do," Denson said. "It makes me feel better just helping them, and it makes them happy."
