When measuring a long period of time, press A to return the STOPWATCH to the CALENDAR or TIME display after the stopwatch starts. This will prevent any possible mistaken operation.
First, press button A to show stopwatch display. Press button B to start and stop. Set 60 on the rotating bezel to the 12 oclock position. The tachymeter can be used for the following purpose. (1) To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle with the stopwatch display to determine how many seconds it takes to go one kilometer (or mile). Ex. 1)
(For those models which include a tachymeter with a graduated dial) B Note: Some models have a dial with 12 graduations. To read, multiply the number shown by 5. Ex. A 15 30
The tachymeter scale gives the average speed per hour using a maximum of 60 seconds as the standard. For instance, if it takes 40 seconds to go one kilometer (or mile), look at 40 on the dial and the figure outside the 40 indicates 90 on the tachymeter scale. This means the average speed of the automobile is 90 kilometers (or miles) per hour. 90 (40 seconds position) x 1 km = 90 Km/h (mph)
Ex. 2) If the measuring distance is extended to two kilometers (or miles) or shortened to 500 meters (or half a mile), double the scale figure or reduce it by half, respectively. The tachymeter is particularly suited for use in a rally, speedway or circuit race. 90 (40 seconds position) x 2 km = 180 Km/h (mph) 90 (40 seconds position) x 0.5 km = 45 Km/h (mph) (2) To measure work accomplished in an hour. The tachymeter is extremely useful in calculating factory operation efficiency and measuring machine production capacity. Ex. 1) For example, if it takes 20 seconds to complete one job, the figure outside 20 on the dial indicates 180 on the tachymeter scale. This means that 180 jobs will be completed in one hour. 180 (20 seconds position) x 1 job = 180 jobs per hour Ex. 2) If 15 jobs are accomplished in 20 seconds, multiply the scale figure of 180 (showing 15 jobs in 20 seconds) by 15 and the work amount in one hour is 2700. 180 (20 seconds position) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs per hour
Pressing B in the TIME or CALENDAR display illuminates the display for easy viewing in the dark.
The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately 2 years. However, because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any possible malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR920W battery. Note: If the light is used for more than 5 seconds a day, and/or the alarm for more than 20 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.
Non-water resistance If WATER RESISTANT is not inscribed on the case back, your watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER. Water resistance (3 bar) If WATER RESISTANT is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for swimming or diving. Water resistance (5 bar)* If WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for swimming, yachting and taking a shower. Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar)* If WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR or WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar and is suitable for taking a bath and shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Divers watch for scuba diving.
* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, or 15 bar watch in water, be sure the crown is pushed in completely. Do not operate the crown and buttons when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely. * When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistance 10 or 15 bar watch, be sure to observe the following: Do not operate the crown or push the buttons when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo. If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. NOTE: Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
Your watch works with stable accuracy between a temperature range of 5C and 35C (41F and 95F). Temperatures over 60C (140F) may cause battery leakage or shorten the battery life.
If the watch is left in direct sunlight for a long time, the display may become black, but this condition will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below 10C (+14F) for a long time since the cold may cause: a. a slight time loss or gain. b. the change of digits to become slow. c. the alarm sound to become faint. d. the display light to dim. However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. I SHOCKS & VIBRATION Light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage. I MAGNETISM The analogue unit of your watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism, though the digital unit will not be affected. Keep your watch away from close contact with magnetic objects. I CHEMICALS Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents (e.g., alcohol and gasoline), mercury (i.e., from a broken thermometer), cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.
I STATIC ELECTRICITY The IC (Integrated Circuit) used in your watch will be affected by static electricity which may disturb the display. Keep your watch away from close contact with object such as TV screens which emit strong static electricity. I CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth. I PRECAUTION REGARDING CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM If your watch has a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back, be sure to peel them off before using your watch. Otherwise, perspiration getting in under them may rust the case back. I PERIODIC CHECK It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 to 3 years. Have your watch checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER to ensure that the case, crown, buttons, gasket and crystal seal remain intact. I LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL The normal life expectancy for a liquid crystal panel is approximately 7 years. After that it may decrease in contrast, becoming difficult to read. Please contact your AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER if you wish to have a new panel fitted (guaranteed one year).

here we are the 3 Amigas!
Today was the first clear morning in a month and we had plans to head out blueberry picking, I did NOT want to go. I saw the sun and really wanted to stay home. I'm really glad I went, don't get me wrong it's just that when it's the first non cloudy day in a month I look around at all the things I should be doing, I start to feel a bit guilty. Imagine how pleased I was when it got cloudy here before we left. And 100 miles north was fantastically beautiful and clear as a bell.
We drove and drove and drove, or so it seemed to the three wildebeests in the back seat. The scenery was beautiful but we didn't stop to ogle glaciers, mountains or rivers. We did ogle them from the truck though along with weird microwave radio towers thingies, huge bridges and the great iron mountains (they looked rusty!). Trips with kids take longer if you stop so we don't, or we try not to. We do stop if that's what kind of trip it is, sightseeing can be great. This was a berry mission.
And can I just say mission accomplished? If this is a post about picking berries why did I NOT take pictures of my berries? Why am I not hauling my ass out of the chair and taking pictures of berries? Well I'm kinda whipped here people. We picked berries and wrangled kids forever, er no, for 4 hours. It was HOT out there. The kids, once they realized "this was it" were for the most part great. They really wanted our berry pickers scoops, tools make jobs fun! Note to me BUY MORE BERRY SCOOPS AND PUT THOSE BOYS TO WORK.
here's our berry picking spot-the view north
and the view south-see all that green that's NOT swamp spruce? Yeah those are blueberry bushes, bog cranberries and moss about 2 feet thick
we did stop on the way home to play for a few minutes in Long Lake-everyone fell or deliberately got wet mmmm stinky wet little boys!
Here's baby Jo-the only girl with us today
All I have to say is the berries are cleaned and put up. And soon I will be too.
Peace and Love--
one more cool amazing thing about Alaska? We are the farthest north state, the farthest west and the farthest east. Plus we are 2x the size of Texas...

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Spoilers: April "Caught in the Crossfire" in Episode 12 Wedding
Though wedding days are usually joyous occasions, a little stress is to be expected for such imposing affairs. But April (Sarah Drew) seems to have it especially bad in the episode that airs this Thursday, December 12 — Season 10, Episode 12, "Get Up, Stand Up."
Before we get to April's bridal woes, however, let's just spend a moment celebrating such a big episode for Sarah Drew. "It's not often that I get to walk on set and be the belle of the ball," the actress tells TV Fanatic. "The dress is just incredible and the setting was absolutely stunning."
Unfortunately, April will probably have zero time to admire her dress or the pastoral setting, on account of all the drama going down around her.
"For the most part, she is not calm," Sarah reveals. "She chose to have three bridesmaids that generally tend to be pretty self-absorbed."
Truer words were never spoke — much as we love Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw). For one, Meredith and Cristina are amidst an epic feud, and TV Fanatic teases that April will get "caught in the crossfire." Compounding the stress level, Arizona and Callie (Sara Ramirez) will also have "drama."
Sarah also advises: "Don't go to the bathroom for the last five minutes. Don't leave the room. If you miss a second of it, it's going to be a problem."
Phew! Sounds like this episode will have all the agony and ecstasy we'd expect from a midseason finale. It'd better, after all, considering the long wait we'll have until the next episode.
Grey's Anatomy Season 10, Episode 12, "Get Up, Stand Up," airs Thursday, December 12, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

I crashed last saturday with my bike, it happened during a little downhill in Luxembourg!
My bike is o.k, except for the huge scratch on my NEW CRANKSET, GRRR!!! :thumbdn:
After the non - friendly contact with planet Earth, little stars appaered in my visual range and i couldn`t breathe!
But with help from my friends i was able to take my bike and go for a "rest & shower" at the camping.
It was my heaviest crash ever, what`s yours?

It feels like "Groundhog Day." The most visible film festival in the US and one that showcases independent films and SURPRISE there are women making great films around town. It's not news that there is a disparity between the movies released around the country on a weekly basis and the films that appear at film festivals, including Sundance. The local multiplexes are dominated by big action thrillers, sequels, romantic comedies, animated fare, 3-D extravaganzas - you get the drift. They try and target these to the widest audience to make the most bang for the buck before the next film comes along to take over.
This cycle has been going on for at least a decade if not longer. Women, in general, do not (and are not) allowed or interested in directing these types of films. The highest grossing film directed by a woman in 2010 was The Last Song, directed by Julie Anne Robinson which is number 51 on box office mojo's list of films with a domestic gross of almost $63 million.
Of course people think women can't direct because we don't see women's names as the directors of big films. It's the grandest catch -22. We won't hire a woman to direct a big tent-pole type picture because no women direct those types of films; but a woman can't prove that she can do it until she gets hired.
In a NY Times piece this weekend, the new president of Women in Film Cathy Shulman (the producer of Crash) was brutally honest in saying: "I realize this is a little controversial to say, but some women directors need to work harder to cross over from show to business..." So is she saying that the way more women will get more gigs as directors is to make crappy unwatchable movies with big effects and big budgets that can gross a lot of money? Will we achieve parity when women can be as mediocre as their male counterparts? Is that what we are striving for?
More importantly, do women even want to direct these types of movies? For me, it has always been about how women, and women's stories are valued in the culture. We should gauge a director's success of how much money their movie makes compared to how much it cost them to make it. If you make more money than you spent you should be looked at as a successful director no matter if it is $1 million or $40 million. But then I don't run Hollywood.
[A digression: Don't get me started about how the piece continues to push the sexist double standard about how women have to balance work and family more than their male counterparts so that limits their ability to direct. Ask any woman director and she will tell you that in order to get her movie done, she would figure it out. Some women bring their kids to the set. What we should be talking about is how in 2011 is how inflexible the moviemaking industry is to women and people with fmailies, and also about how women are still the ones doing the lion's share of child rearing. Don't blame the women because they want to have kids.]
But at least we have a place like Sundance, which unlike other festival like Cannes, prides itself on diversity and supporting women. It's not perfect -- or equal -- but it is a hell of a lot better. Women directors have won two recent prizes: last year Debra Granik's Winter's Bone won, and in 2008, Courtney Hunt's Frozen River won.
Sundance is the launching pad for women directors and their careers. Ask any woman director. It's a place where you can see women's vision on display "as if women mattered." Isn't that what we want from movies in general? If I was in Sundance I'd be dancing a jig at the options of women directed films to see.
Maybe next year.

Used for navigation and even implemented when building the Pyramids, the North Star is something of a celebrity in the night sky. Sure a compass, iPhone, or even a magnetized pine needle in a puddle of water (Man vs. Wild) will quickly point you in the right direction, but what about those nights when its 34°, the bedtime routine is nearly finished and you've stepped outside to quickly verify the planets are where they should be? In this case, and you can be anywhere to use this trick, Ursa Minor will be our aid in illuminating the earth's cardinal directions.
Saturn and the Little Dipper:
Through the rest of the week you can practice finding Saturn in the night sky by using the North Star. Easiest way to do this is to find the Little Dipper and its encompassing, brighter-than-the-rest friends; Kocab, Pherkad, Yildun, Pherkad Minor and Polaris. Polaris, the North Star, will be located at the top of the handle of the Dipper. The video on this page will help you locate the North Star if you are having problems "seeing" the constellation shape.
Simply put, if you see Polaris, you will then be facing north. Accordingly, directly behind you is south, to the right is east and to your left is west. When finding Saturn (in the SE sky), we will look at Polaris then turn to the right, turning towards the Atlantic, until we are nearly 135° from the North Star (if you find yourself facing the opposite direction you've turned too much). In the SSE sky Saturn will begin rising over the horizon starting around 8pm. By 10pm the moon will be in the southern sky and about equal in height to Saturn in the SE. As the night progresses, Saturn will traverse the night sky and eventually set in the west by 6am. Hope this helps and happy gazing!
Like all stargazing adventures, clear skies will be needed :)

Rhapsodies in Sorrel
Miss Kit is being all that is wonderful. Such a brave little creature. The only black mark thus far was weeing on the duvet this morning — I think, a genuine taxonomic problem, because the texture of a feather duvet in a cover felt under her paws like her cat-litter — I rushed her off the bed, still dribbling, and into her tray so with any luck she will have got the message. But, accidents aside, she has been enchanting. We spent most of the day with me working and her in my lap, and one by one she has encountered the rest of the household. Poor Miss Dog, faced with a minute kitten wobbling towards her, said 'O god, not another one', and subsided, belly down, with an air of suicidal despair; Miss Kit, after, clearly, a deperate moment when she determined to sell her life dearly, deflated tail, back hair & so forth and strolled up to the dog for a forensic inspection. In fact, the possibility of being savaged seemed so low on her sense of possibilities that she was almost instantly distracted by a bluebottle banging against the window. She did cheek her good governess; Mrs Grey wandered in and jumped on the sofa (three feet from where I was sitting with Miss Kit in my lap). There was inflation, there was Big Hair, there was growling. I restrained Miss Kit and stroked her down; Mrs Grey, whose ears had remained studiously forward (in Cat, polite attention) throughout, curled up ostentatiously and 'went to sleep'. The kitten growled for a bit, then climbed onto my shoulder for a proper look at the Giant Enemy, and conceded that the G.E. was not presently consituting itself a threat. After a bit, Mrs Grey went away discreetly. All of which suggests that the kitten is brave and capable, and that the adult animals are being all that is tactful.
Dublin, on which we have not yet reported, was wonderful. Neither of us had set foot for more than a decade, during which various rumours suggested that the place had become totally modernised and yuppified; I was more than happy to find that this was not the case. We were staying in Stoney Batter on the wrong side of the river, and it was not one cappucino bar every 50 paces. Temple Bar is like that now, but the phenomenon is containable. We were greatly struck by Guiness sponsoring a hurling competition; I immediately thought, quickest, furthest or most copious? but of course this refers to a game somewhere between hockey & lacrosse with an ancient and noble history — the posters are roughly suggestive of Cu Chulainn encountering the Great Bull of Connaught, or was it Leinster?
Otherwise, gastronomy and friendship aside, we spent much of our time amid the fantasy life of the Anglo-Irish Gentry. They were a markedly fantastical bunch — I do wonder if the mental strain of believing that you ran the country and your church was the national church &c in the face of a submerged 90% with completely different views had the same deranging effects as it did in the apartheid era in SA. We saw some absolutely extraordinary buildings; and came away with a general sense that baroque to neoclassicism was done more intensely, in a way, more weirdly, in Ireland than in almost anywhere else — certainly, than anywhere else involving the British Isles.

NTT Com and SNG launch cloud service for Japanese language educaiton
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), ICT solutions and international communications business within NTT (NYSE: NTT), announced this week the launch of a cloud-based Japanese-language educational service, "Visual Learning .Japanese," in cooperation with the Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute (SNG).
Visual Learning .Japanese (VLJ) is an innovative service based on the effective Japanese language teaching method designed by SNG Principal Takahide Ezoe. The method, which Ezoe has spent many years developing, focuses on visualizing and structuring Japanese grammar with original cards and gestures, and forms the core of NTT Com's cloud-based e-learning study materials.
On October 29, SNG launched its "blended learning" course, combining VLJ (online) and in-class lessons (offline). NTT Com and SNG will continue to jointly promote the VLJ and blended learning course to educational institutions both in and outside of Japan.

Home : Brands : Art Of Shaving : Art Of Shaving Men Shave :
Following classic designs is not the same as merely copying the past. Some designs simply do not need to be changed, even over centuries, if form so perfectly serves the function that it can't be improved. Art of Shaving Men Shave Products recognizes that some classic designs should be maintained, simply because they work. The task as hand is fairly straight-forward: To get a good shave, men have to soften the beard stubble, usually with some sort of lather, then shave it off. The details make all the difference, however, and these have been worked out over many generations.
The designs that Art of Shaving Men Shave Products offer are not meant to be "retro," but as effective, time-tested and proven tools for the task. That they are also classically attractive and satisfy the eye is a bonus. Why not enjoy the traditional for tradition's sake? At the same time, however, the quality of the materials and construction used to create these products is extremely important. Art of Shaving Men Shave Products do not skimp on quality, while still keeping their offerings within budget.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
The term "classic" has to be earned. By having successfully performed a task, and proving it over many years, the designs offered by Art of Shaving Men Shave Products show that they recognize true classics. These never go out of style and are re-discovered by each generation.
There aren't too many objects in the world that can be exhibited in a museum and still have an exciting function in the modern world. As it happens, The Art of Shaving Brush – Pure Badger – Black would not look out of place next to similar examples from the 1740s (when the shaving brush first became widely known), yet it is still used with enthusiasm by millions of men around the world. The task hasn't changed, and the design performs it flawlessly. The carefully selected badger hair is set in the conventional – and effective – domed shape. By using fine hairs, the brush can accept and hold enough water to work up a good, smooth lather in the soap mug. The brush can then be used to daub the lather onto the face, working it into the beard stubble much more effectively than simply using fingers to spread foam from a can.
After rinsing out the brush, it should be hung bristle side down on The Art of Shaving Brush Stand Black. Unlike standing the brush on its handle, this method allows the brush to dry out and keeps bristles from coming loose or becoming a source for bacteria. Together, the brush and stand will provide a lifetime of service.

Both great folding road bikes but which do is the best in your opinion?
Both great folding road bikes but which do is the best in your opinion?
Does the Reach have 406 or 451 wheels/tires?
If it's 451, then I would just go with the Chameleon's 520 wheels/tires assuming that the Chameleon can fit on a flight legal suitcase. Note that something in the back of my head is whispering that the Airnimal suitcase is considerably large than 62 linear inches. (66? ... a mind is a terrible thing to lose) If that whisper is correct, then I would have to think harder about the choice.
The Chameleon will not fit today's flight legal suitcase.. with the wheels removed, the frame folded with mild disassembly will fit carry-on bags .. the wheels would be checked separately in a box or padded bag... the Delsey case is quite oversize, much like the Dahon Airporter.. you might get away with it, but it is not 62 linear inches.. in the reverse, the frame without the wheels will easily fit a 62 linear inch case, and then the wheels could be bagged as carry-on ..
Just picked up the new steed from a very nice gentleman in Portsmouth. Former professional cyclist and still runs ultra-marathons. You meet very interesting people who love cycling and especially respect folders. Will post pictures and some thoughts soon. Here was the listing I won on eBay. I have to say it's a beautiful frame and pretty lightweight!
Mulleady, if the price is a bit steep, here's something under $40 that is airline legal size at 26x24x12.. a couple of straps and you're all set.. even has wheels and a handle
Blood brothers - same (pacific) factory :-)
Enjoy that new steed - talk about folderitus :-)
Bicycle - the perfect 'Human Amplifier' For the same energy as walking, goes 4x distance and 4x speed, no sweat ... the new 4x4 ?
Great idea, though. I think I need to start exploring teh Rubbermade isles in the box stores for similar products. Maybe one of those flatter boxes meant for stacking would hit the magic dimentions between too tight to fit and out of bounds.
But, don't worry, I still have the Hot-Lava Moulton (which I first saw at your house 4 years ago), a Brompton, and Downtube Mini (now my son's bike). Something for any mood.
LOL Sesame your blue & black recumbent is quite something but I expect your recumbents to fold lol!
PS. I should come over and apply some real torque to your recumbents to test those chains!

Scientists Plug Into a Learning Brain »
"Learning is easier when it only requires nerve cells to rearrange existing patterns of activity than when the nerve cells have to generate new patterns, a study of monkeys has found. The scientists explored the brain's capacity to learn through r"...
Mechanism Of Action
Kuvan is a synthetic form of BH4, the cofactor for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). PAH hydroxylates Phe through an oxidative reaction to form tyrosine. In patients with PKU, PAH activity is absent or deficient. Treatment with BH4 can activate residual PAH enzyme, improve the normal oxidative metabolism of Phe, and decrease Phe levels in some patients.
In PKU patients who are responsive to BH4 treatment, blood Phe levels decrease within 24 hours after a single administration of sapropterin dihydrochloride, although maximal effect on Phe level may take up to a month, depending on the patient. A single daily dose of Kuvan is adequate to maintain stable blood Phe levels over a 24-hour period. Twelve patients with blood Phe levels ranging from 516 to 986 μmol/L (mean 747 ± 153 μmol/L) were assessed with 24-hour blood Phe level monitoring following a daily morning dose of 10 mg/kg/day. The blood Phe level remained stable during a 24-hour observation period. No substantial increases in blood Phe levels were observed following food intake throughout the 24-hour period.
Effects of Kuvan on the QTc interval
A thorough QTc study was performed in 56 healthy adults. This randomized, placebo and active controlled crossover study was conducted to determine if a single supra-therapeutic (100 mg/kg) of Kuvan, or a single therapeutic dose (20 mg/kg) of Kuvan had an effect on cardiac repolarization. In this study, Kuvan was administered after dissolving tablets in water under fed condition. This study demonstrated a dose-dependent shortening of the QT interval. The maximum placebo-subtracted mean change from baseline of the QTc interval was -3.69 and 8.32 ms (lower bound of 90% CI: -5.3 and -10.6 ms) at 20 and 100 mg/kg, respectively.
Studies in healthy volunteers have shown comparable absorption of sapropterin when tablets are dissolved in water or orange juice and taken under fasted conditions. Administration of dissolved tablets after a high-fat/high-calorie meal resulted in mean increases in Cmax of 84% and AUC of 87% (dissolved in water). However, there was extensive variability in individual subject values for Cmax and AUC across the different modes of administration and meal conditions. In the clinical trials of Kuvan, drug was administered in the morning as a dissolved tablet without regard to meals. The mean elimination half-life in PKU patients was approximately 6.7 hours (range 3.9 to 17 hr), comparable with values seen in healthy subjects (range 3.0 to 5.3 hr).
A study in healthy adults with 10 mg/kg of Kuvan demonstrated the absorption via intact tablet administration was 40% greater than via dissolved tablet administration under fasted conditions based on AUC0-t. The administration of intact tablets under fed conditions resulted in an approximately 43% increase in the extent of absorption compared to fasted conditions based on AUC0-t.
A population pharmacokinetic analysis of sapropterin including patients between 9 and 49 years of age showed no effect of age on sapropterin pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetics in patients < 9 years and > 49 years of age have not been studied.
Sapropterin is a synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) and is expected to be metabolized and recycled by the same endogenous enzymes. In vivo endogenous BH4 is converted to quinoid dihydrobiopterin and is metabolized to dihydrobiopterin and biopterin. The enzymes dihydrofolate reductase and dihydropteridine reductase are responsible for the metabolism and recycling of BH4.
Clinical Studies
Clinical Studies In PKU
The efficacy and safety of Kuvan were evaluated in 5 clinical studies in patients with PKU.
Study 1 was a multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled clinical trial of 489 patients with PKU, ages 8 to 48 years (mean 22 years), who had baseline blood Phe levels ≥ 450 μmol/L and who were not on Phe-restricted diets. All patients received treatment with Kuvan 10 mg/kg/day for 8 days. For the purposes of this study, response to Kuvan treatment was defined as a ≥ 30% decrease in blood Phe from baseline. At Day 8, 96 patients (20%) were identified as responders.
Study 2 was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 88 patients with PKU who responded to Kuvan in Study 1. After a washout period from Study 1, patients were randomized equally to either Kuvan 10 mg/kg/day (N=41) or placebo (N=47) for 6 weeks. Efficacy was assessed by the mean change in blood Phe level from baseline to Week 6 in the Kuvan-treated group as compared to the mean change in the placebo group.
The results showed that at baseline, the mean (±SD) blood Phe level was 843 (±300) μmol/L in the Kuvan-treated group and 888 (±323) μmol/L in the placebo group. At Week 6, the Kuvan treated group had a mean (±SD) blood Phe level of 607 (±377) μmol/L, and the placebo group had a mean blood Phe level of 891 (±348) μmol/L. At Week 6, the Kuvan- and placebo treated groups had mean changes in blood Phe level of –239 and 6 μmol/L, respectively (mean percent changes of –29% (±32) and 3% (±33), respectively).The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001) (Table 2).

Study 3 was a multicenter, open-label, extension study in which 80 patients who responded to Kuvan treatment in Study 1 and completed Study 2 underwent 6 weeks of forced dose-titration with 3 different doses of Kuvan. Treatments consisted of 3 consecutive 2-week courses of Kuvan at doses of 5, then 20, and then 10 mg/kg/day. Blood Phe level was monitored after 2 weeks of treatment at each dose level. At baseline, mean (±SD) blood Phe was 844 (±398) μmol/L. At the end of treatment with 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg/day, mean (±SD) blood Phe levels were 744 (±384) μmol/L, 640 (±382) μmol/L, and 581 (±399) μmol/L, respectively (Table 3).

Study 4 was a multicenter study of 90 children with PKU, ages 4 to 12 years, who were on Phe-restricted diets and who had blood Phe levels ≤ 480 μmol/L at screening. All patients were treated with open-label Kuvan 20 mg/kg/day for 8 days. Response to Kuvan was defined as a ≥ 30% decrease in blood Phe from baseline at Day 8. At Day 8, 50 patients (56%) had a ≥ 30% decrease in blood Phe.
Study 5 demonstrated the long-term safety of Kuvan in patients with PKU. The study was a multicenter, open-label extension study of 111 patients with PKU who participated in Study 3 or Study 4. Doses ranged in this study between 5-20mg/kg. The mean ± SD exposure to sapropterin for the entire study population was 659 ± 221 days (maximum 953) and 799 + 237 days (maximum 1151) including the previous studies.

Om Puri now lashes out at the moral brigade for barking up the wrong tree. He's appalled that Kamal Haasan's "Vishwaroopam" was banned by the Tamil Nadu state government, while the law of the country allows rapists to get away with their crime just because they are legally underage.
He said: "How is a male who is capable of having sex forcibly a juvenile?"
The sixth accused involved in Dec 16 gangrape of a 23-year-old paramedical student in the capital was declared minor by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB). Described as the most brutal of the six accused by the Delhi Police in its charge sheet, he would be able to walk free after a very brief stint in custody.
"I read about a 13-year-old being part of a gangrape of a very young girl in a rural area. You want to me believe he deserves leniency because he's a child? Children don't commit sex crimes. If they do they must be treated as grownups. All rapists, regardless of age, must be treated on a par and punished accordingly," Om Puri added.
The veteran, who was seen in the role of an old guard at a spice factory who sacrifices his life for the safety of the female workers in "Mirch Masala", partially holds cinema responsible for the lack of respect for women in our society.
"Look at the heroines. Look at the kind of photo-shoots they do. Have they any idea what sort of fantasies rural boys must harbour after they see these pictures? And look at the item songs..."
Known for his powerful performances in "Godhuli", "Aakrosh" and "Mandi", the 62-year-old feels the moral police is getting it all wrong in our country.
"I really don't understand this ban on 'Vishwaroopam'. The censor board had passed it. Then why should any government ban it? What was so objectionable about the content?"
"I remember we had trouble with Govinda Nihalani's mini-series 'Tamas' where some people went to court against the picturisation of Hindu-Muslim riot scenes during the partition.
"The courts upheld our right to expression, and we went ahead with the telecast. We have to respect the decisions of the government bodies constituted to streamline cinematic content," Puri added.
The release of "Vishwaroopam" was banned when Muslim outfits claimed that the scenes in the film can hurt the sentiments of the community. The film finally came out Feb 7 after Kamal Haasan, producer-director of the movie, agreed to edit the objectionable scenes.

The Instrument 1960 --Present
The 1960s saw telephones that were design-oriented. Western Electric introduced the "Princess" phone and the "Trimline" soon followed. Also at this time, the first "Touchtone" phones were introduced.
Keep in mind that telephones were not available for purchase. A customer had to rent a phone. And if they wanted push button service, or a premium phone such as the Trimline, there was an additional charge.
Through the 1960s and early 1970s the phone company marketed these neat telephones as well as the normal desk and wall phones. But in the 1970s two major things happened in telephony. First, "modular" connections were introduced which cleared the way for a customer to simply plug a phone into a jack, much like a lamp. Second, "Design Line" telephones were introduced. For the first time a customer could chose from a variety of fashionable telephones and simply plug them in at home.
The Bell companies introduced several Design line telephones in the 1970s, and continued to add to the line up until 1983, the year the Bell System was divested.
When the federal government split the Bell System into 7 "Baby Bells," other companies stepped in and began producing all kinds of designer, cheap, and throwaway phones.
And although today designer phones are still produced, the entire market has swung back to phones that are more functional. The cordless portable phone is the best example. Pretty bland in basic beige, black, gray or white, the phone really has no form and simply functions as today's hi-tech offering available in all phone outlets.
And of course with the advent of cellular phones in the mid-1980s, the drive is on for fast, small, functional phones that have all the neat bells and whistles built in.
With the computer revolutionizing telephony, who knows what tomorrow brings? One thing is for sure. As the phones are marketed and retired, they almost immediately become collectibles. And some phones of the past are fetching upwards of $15,000. Truly a fully functional collectible if there ever was!

Justice minister expresses support for targeted killings of terror leaders, after Gaza group claims Israel attempted to assassinate al-Qassam Brigades chief.

Published: 08.20.14, 10:13 / Israel News

"The targeted killing of any person who deals in terror is not only legitimate but desirable in my eyes. Throughout these periods I always support the targeted killings of terror leaders," said Justice Minister Tzipi Livni on Wednesday morning, after Hamas claimed Israel tried to kill al-Qassam Brigades chief Mohammed Deif.
Livni emphasized that she did not believe diplomacy would be able to neutralize Hamas. "I remember walking to elementary school with under fire during the Six Day War; I was in high school for the Yom Kippur War. Wars are not a choice we make for no reason."
Livni said she opposed the indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians in Cairo. "I do not negotiate with Hamas; I do not believe they would agree to it, and I would not deal with them but with international officials."
The justice minister said "the fundamental question is whether the fire causes us to pay a higher price even when it ceases; in my eyes, that's a strategic question. We must not let them think that the fire leads Israel to pay up. We must continue to deter them and only then will they understand that they cannot achieve more by using terror – that they are losing assets."
Livni stressed that "as long as Hamas does not fundamentally change its internal ideology, we are dealing with a terror organization."
Israel's chief negotiator to the peace process with the Palestinians reflected on the choices made by the Palestinian public. "I do not think that we can manage our neighbors and choose who they will vote for. Nobody wants to be considered as a collaborator with Israel against his people."
She emphasized: "The Palestinian public will need to choose between those who can give them a better life, and those who cannot. Unfortunately, they currently support resistance. Maybe this event can lead to a measure of change."

Grouping Students by Ability Regains Favor in Classrooms
New York Times| 6/10/13
Behind the Headline
The Detracking Movement: Why Children Are Still Grouped by Ability
Education Next |Fall 2004
In the New York Times, Vivian Yee writes about a Brookings report that traces the decline and re-birth of ability grouping in schools. "Though the issue is one of the most frequently studied by education scholars, there is little consensus about grouping's effects," she writes. In "The Detracking Movement: Why Children Are Still Grouped by Ability," published by Ed Next in 2004, Maureen Hallinan took a long look at the persistence of tracking despite efforts to wipe it out.
In "Ability Grouping, Tracking, and How Schools Work," Tom Loveless, the author of the Brookings Report, writes about some new research on the impact of tracking, and about the questions teachers ask about how best to use tracking.
In "All Together Now: Educating High and Low Achievers in the Same Classroom," Mike Petrilli explored why it is so hard to teach kids of different abilities in the same classroom.
In "Can Tracking Improve Learning?" published in Ed Next in Summer 2009, researchers looked at how tracking affected both high- and low-achieving students in Kenya.

DIRTT Environmental Solutions
Though we are relative newcomers to the movable wall scene, we DIRTTbags arrive on the scene with a combined hundreds of years of experience. What drew us together wasn't the idea of simply competing with other walls out there, but to create a wall and an experience that goes way beyond simply demising space. We wanted a wall that would finally loosen the grip of conventional (like 19th century 'conventional') construction. And an experience that informs, empowers and inspires. That's how we are Doing It Right This Time.
Yep. We're DIRTTbags.
You gotta problem wit dat? Oh, we're not those Dirt Bags – though we would like to see drywall sleepin' wit da fishes. We are a passionate group of people (approx. 410 in total) who strive to provide clients with the best solutions, experiences and environments possible. We help each other. We volunteer. We are often goofy. We all thrive on the idea that we are actually doing something to make the world a better place – not just adding to The Stuff.

We are all Good Men™ now.
First let us consider the author's choice of the "spilled creamer" reference. The "spilled" has an echo of Heidegger's "thrownness," and gives us a clue as how to approach the piece in terms of our given exposure to it as part of its and our being. How can the reader "milk" an interpretation from it — but, ha!, here we get another clue, for it is not common milk, we are told, but a humanly evolved-order of existence, an artificially constructed "creamer" that acts as an ontologically supervenient mask between . . .

I thought those were cheap knockoff pixels, bought from some back-alley manufacturer somewhere in Shenzhen…
Those pixels are doing a job American pixels won't do.
Hmm, is this post pixelated or pixilated? Why, yes. Yes it is.
Is the creamer the liquid kind or the powder kind? Or is it both at the same time?
Does the creamer contain protein?
Is the word 'javelin' meant to subliminally conjure up the thought of java?
Or are all the washed away words Fnords of a new strain?

sdferr says July 10, 2014 at 11:11 am
A few minutes ago a new headline appeared on the JPost website announcing that four rockets had been fired from Gaza at Jerusalem and that two of these had been successfully intercepted by the Iron Dome system. Of the other two it is said that they "fell in open areas".
Now Jerusalem is a largish city measured roughly as 48 sq. miles, so where the two rockets destroyed by interception may have landed if they had not been destroyed is unknown to us.
However, I wonder this — somewhat naively, I readily grant: to my understanding the rockets fired from Gaza are not flight guided missiles capable of hitting a narrowly defined target, but rather more like conventional artillery warheads which go more or less (depending on atmospheric conditions and other such variables) where they happen to be "aimed" at the moment of firing, an aim, I take it, not very precise at the hands of their operators.
Supposing this, would those Hamas operators have any idea at the moment they fire their rockets toward Jerusalem whether a particular rocket may happen to fall on top of the Dome of the Rock? And if the answer to this question turns out to be "No! They don't know!", don't we think that Muslims in other lands who personally view the Dome of the Rock as a sacred site would be interested to know that Hamas is firing rockets which could partially if not fully destroy that sacred site?
I dunno, just seems like something someone should mention to those among the devout Muslims who take an interest in such stuff.
And to the extent that the Iron Dome system can calculate with some precision what constitutes and "open area" and what not, would it interest those aforementioned devout Muslims to know that the Jews have prevented any possibility of the destruction of the Muslims' sacred mosque, along with Christian and Jewish sites which happen to sit in the very same vicinity?
Drumwaster says July 10, 2014 at 11:26 am
As I understand it, those are ballistic missiles that land where the math says they will land, within a reasonably small CEP, but that CEP is defined by the angle of launch (parallel to the ground and straight up would both be bad, but maximum distance is achieved ~50 degrees above the horizon, because of the density of atmosphere closer to the ground), and the variables have to do with winds aloft, burn time of the thrusters and purity of the propellant.
Modern millimeter-band radar linked with high speed computers can determine whether the rockets will land in or near certain areas (which would already be defined and on file, since buildings don't move), and determine the shoot/don't shoot criteria. If I were in the planning department of the IDF, I would have specifically excluded any mosques from the protection zones, so long as the CEP didn't intersect with anything that needed protecting. If a rocket launched from Gaza happened to wipe out a mosque or Muslim shelter, well, then… "oops". Hey, feces occurs.
If the Israeli Government is protecting the mosques, via Iron Dome, then shame on them.
The time for niceties, my Israeli Brothers, is long over.
Besides, if you are shielding the Mohammedin sites, no Western Government will ever show any appreciation for your efforts – get that through your heads. To paraphrase Andrew: 'Fuck them – War'.
sdferr says July 10, 2014 at 2:17 pm
It can suffice to think that an Israeli government which wouldn't for a moment allow anyone, be they Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Bahai, atheist or whathaveyou, to approach the Dome of the Rock on foot with a satchel-charge intent on blowing that building up, would likewise never consider allowing such an attack from the air.
Though I suppose this stance is no less an act of a distinct religious faith than it is an act of a particular political right, the latter alone is sufficient to substantially differentiate Israel from its neighboring regimes.
I think Israel will continue to take the high road even while they bomb their neighbors deeper into the stone age.
I should have phrased that differently. Wishful thinking on my part.
sdferr says July 10, 2014 at 4:23 pm
Yeah, it is a weird way to go about bombing someone into the stone age to ring them up on the phone before any bombs are released and tell them to get out of the building they are in because it will be coming down very soon, or fire purpose built "warning" missiles which go "Clank" on the roof of a target house so the people inside will get out prior to live ammunition being fired at it. But they've a weird idea of the stone age, those Israelis, I guess.
sdferr says July 10, 2014 at 4:33 pm
But then on the other side of the conflict Palestinian leaders tell their people to utterly ignore warnings to leave their homes, but to stay in them and die by Israeli bombs and so to become martyrs for the greater cause of ultimately wiping the earth away with all the Jews. So, y'know, tit for tat.

Coursepack Copyright Compliance Guidance
- Use the Coursepack Analysis flowchart to determine if your coursepack/syllabus is compliant with copyright law. A coursepack is considered to be a compilation of materials that are handed out to students as part of a mediated class.
- This flowchart only covers the topic of copyright compliance. You still must comply, if applicable, with other pertinent policies and regulations, including HIPAA. If you are using actual patient information, data, photographs, or other patient information, you must complete a HIPAA compliance certification available from the MUSC HIPAA officer.
- The Fair Use exemption for handouts to students favors a spontaneous desire on the part of the faculty member to use the work of another for timely course related information to the students. Repeated use of the same material (i.e. from semester to semester) is disfavored.
- Compliance with Fair Use in a coursepack scenario generally requires that copied materials be provided at cost and not for a profit.
- The MUSC Faculty member who creates the coursepack is responsible for complying with these guidelines by following the Coursepack Analysis flowchart and completing the required documentation. If you contribute the work of another to a coursepack, you are responsible for providing to the coursepack organizer assurance that use of the work comports with this guidance.
- For additional information or assistance contact the University General Counsel.

In a separate analysis, a fresh 615 mg sample of guanine isboiled in excess sulfuric acid, then neutralized with sodiumhydroxide: this converts all of the nitrogen into NH3.The NH3 is then titrated with HCl: a total of 742 mg ofHCl is required to consume all of the NH3. The titrationreaction is:
NH3 + HCl NH4Cl
From this information, determine the empirical formula ofguanine.
ANSWER: theempirical formula isC5H5N5O
5) You have a solution that contains Ba2+ andPb2+. When 100.0 mL of this solution is treated withexcess aqueous Na2CO3, 4.240 g of solidmaterial is formed. When a fresh 100.0 mL of the original solutionis treated with excess aqueous Na2SO4, 4.936g of solid material is formed. From this information, calculate themolarities of barium and lead in the original solution.
ANSWER: theoriginal solution contained 0.1316 M Ba2+ and 0.0615 MPb2+.

Since the launch of his label Amam at the beginning of this year, Alessio Mereu has provided a streak of quality house releases, always directly involved with the music, either solo or teaming up with friends like, Matteo Spedicati, Signor Andreoni and Coyu. With Amam's fifth release, he unveils the new project name DUM in collaboration with Andrea Ferlin.
Fellow Italian producer Ferlin made his debut with Freak n' Chic, and after a few more EPs first teamed up with Mereu for last year's Deep Thoughts EP on Contexterrior. Now their fusion of sound and technique is unified under the DUM moniker for their immaculately produced, yet soul-filled house grooves. DUM part 1 is their first release under this name and a taste of what's to come with their forthcoming full-length album. "Tread On" kicks things off with a confident swagger, with buoyant bass and a chorus of handclaps. The gradual introduction and interplay of bongos and congas creates a swell of energy, just in time for the subtle horn accents to appear. During the breakdown, a strange spoken word sample explains his creative process of music making, and then the oomph gushes back in. With "Rituals", their sound enters darker and moodier terrains. While the rhythm remains brisk, the resonating chimes seem to suspend the track in time. Soon, the melody enters with a certain mystique, like a detective searching for the perfect beat, propelling things forward once again. While they may call themselves DUM, Mereu and Ferlin are certainly no idiots when it comes to creating crafty beats!
