I was on a mineral makeup kick for a good six months but wanted slightly more coverage so I turned to MUA for recommendations. I tried the MUFE Face & Body foundation first (#32 - a bit dark on me) but my normally-well-behaved combo skin turned super oily in 1 hour. After a month of contemplating whether to get the All Mat to complement the F&B or to take a chance with the Mat Velvet +, I decided to go for the latter. AND Mat Velvet is AMAZING! It evened out my skin, made my freckles less noticeable and still looked natural. (I would still reach for a concealer but not on a daily basis.) Plus, my skin remained matte all day (even on hot & humid days)! I bought #30 and it is a perfect match! (#35 was too dark/orangey on me, #40 was a tad darker than my skintone) My face looks smooth and luminous everyday. I agree that you have to exfoliate and hydrate your skin for this foundation to work.
I use ---
Sofina Rise UV Cut Milk (moisturizer + sunscreen) as "primer"
MUFE Mat Velvet + in #30 (using MAC 187 brush)
MUFE Super Mat Loose Powder #14
UPDATE 9/29/07: I've since moved on to LM Silk Creme Foundation in Beige Ivory. I still like the Mat Velvet but having been able to compare it to LM SCF, I just think LM makes me luminous and the shade match is much better.

Bind Multi IP addresses to a single NIC
Hi everyone,
We all know we can assign multiple IP addresses to single NIC in Linux.
Using : ifconfig eth0:1 <ipaddress/subnetnask>
Or something similar to the above command.
But I need to assign 260 IP addresses to a single NIC in a Win2000 system.
We all do not recommend using Windows.
But I have to do it.
Can you suggest a batch file, like our Linux Script to do it.
I want it by to morrow.
Please rescue your linux friend.
Do not step back as the time I told is gone.
Please let me know, as I may need it any time again.
You apparently are posting a Windows 2000 OS question on a Linux Networking forum. Do you understand why that would not make any sense?

I discovered the artist as one might discover an unusual flower taking a walk through the woods. Towering and obscuring the sunlight, the pillars of our man-made world tap deep into the soil and drink up surface resources until all that remains are smooth clearings, lightly carpeted with the needles begrudgingly sprinkled by the monarchy above. In this setting, with eyes wide open, it is hard to miss the sparkling white flower of the smaller parts that are defiant in their scarcity, but homogenous in their rest upon the substrate that supports all structures great and small. This is how I encountered her work, for its working, its inventive handling of the metal (such as the whitening of the silver, and the depthening of the brass), the organic order/disorder and delicacy that is described by her manipulation of the metals… these were both obvious and rewarding, true treasures to find.
Not surprising, then, to read Rochel's statement and discover that she is motivated by the medicinal and the philosophical in the natural world. She gives a nod to the medicinal for both its storied traditions and its implied references to time, "with its roots at the very beginning of human history or even before." The artist works with organic form the way one might work with abstract painting – to disturb the smoothness, to disturb the square – not for the sake of obliteration but to unveil further distrbutions of ordering concealed in the vitality of things a stage before their manufacture into tools. Her pieces are not instruments or possessions, but distillations of essentials alive in the saps and flowers of her subjects.
The artist adventures across mediums in her pursuit. When her metalsmithing strikes the chord she is after, the tone reaches ears and is picked up. We can only hope these successes drive her further into her investigation.

New Book Claims Outgoing IDF Chief Used Officer to Spy on Barak
Harpaz is expected to be charged with forging a document that was at the center of an alleged scheme last year to sabotage the appointment of Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant to succeed Ashkenazi.
A book scheduled for release in Israel this week claims that outgoing Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi used Lt. Col. (res. ) Boaz Harpaz as a spy in the office of Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Harpaz is expected to be charged with forging a document that was at the center of an alleged scheme last year to sabotage the appointment of Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant to succeed Ashkenazi.
In their book, journalists Dan Margalit and Ronen Bergman contend that Ashkenazi protected Harpaz even when the latter committed serious security breaches. The authors claim that Ashkenazi was not truthful in his statements to a committee examining Harpaz's security clearance in 2005. After Harpaz's security clearance level was raised, he received access to military secrets and sensitive facilities and caused serious damage to national security.
Harpaz remained close to Ashkenazi and his wife even after senior Mossad and Military Intelligence officials warned that he represented a major security risk.
In "Habor," Margalit and Bergman argue that while Ashkenazi said he received the infamous document in late April of last year, the version of the document that was leaked to and reported by Channel 2 television news could not have been created prior to May 7. That raises the question of whether Ashkenazi saw an earlier version of the document.
The authors also question why Ashkenazi delayed a police probe into the matter by failing to report, immediately after the Channel 2 story was aired, the fact that the document was in his hands.
They claim that Harpaz's conduct endangered lives and forced the intelligence community to take extreme measures that affected operations critical to national security.
In addition, they say investigators are hampered by the withholding of information by intelligence officials that could shed light on the relationship between Harpaz and senior IDF officers.

NC state employees' honor King's life, legacy
Posted January 16, 2015
RALEIGH, N.C. — This year's observance honoring the life and legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. by North Carolina state workers had a renewed focus on music and words and their influence on the civil rights movement.
Gov. Pat McCrory and the son of the late historian John Hope Franklin addressed the midday Friday service held at First Baptist Church on South Wilmington Street near the old Capitol.
Groups offer volunteer opportunities for families on MLK Day
The theme of the program: "The Civil Rights Movement in Words and Music: From Slavery to Freedom."
"In honoring Dr. King, we wish to honor the heritage of music and words that has sustained generations and offered a powerful building block toward understanding," McCrory said in a statement.
The North Carolina Arts Council and state African American Heritage Commission helped organize the program, which includes the Bennett College and Shaw University choirs and musicians from the longtime North Carolina-based jazz group The Monitors.
John W. Franklin of the National Museum of African American History and Culture planned the keynote address.
Earlier Friday, a replica of the Liberty Bell in downtown Raleigh's Bicentennial Plaza rang in memory of King's life and legacy. Each ring marked a decade since King's 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech.
"The ringing of the Liberty Bell is a reminder of the drum major Dr. Martin Luther King marching to the beat of reminding people that America will always look like the content of the character of its people," Clarence Henderson, chairman of North Carolina's Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, said.

I mostly do video game OSTs that aren't meant to be listened to without being mixed with sound effects and voices and explosions, I usually mix stuff at around -16, -17 Integrated LUFS (average across track).
However, two recent chiptune OSTs I did are good enough that I think they merit a public release. -16 LUFS leaves a lot of headroom in comparison to other albums. I did a early mix at -10.5 Integrated LUFS with about 4.5 loudness range. But my orchestral-minded colleague insists its FAR too loud (take into account orchestra tracks are usually like -27).
Anyone have any insights of what is normal? I'm running some recent albums through Nugen VisLM to see what is normal, seems like -10 or -9 is normal, leaving very little or no headroom.

I want to make a carousel module. To me this means 2 DataObjects (Slide and Carousel) and a page type (CarouselPage) that will contain the Carousel.
A carousel will have a title to describe it (i.e. Pictures from Vacation) and any number of slides (I'm hoping to be able to select them from a ComplexTableField), while a slide will have a title (i.e. day 1 on the beach) and html code and/or an image.
In terms of relations, carousel:
static $has_many = array(
'MySlides' => 'Slide'
static $belongs_many_many = array(
'Carousels' => 'Carousel'
Would this be the best way to relate these two? Would it be smarter to just have a Carousel Page type and a Slides DataObject and skip the carousel DataObject? Do the slides really need a relation back to the Carousel? I'd like to hear from those more experienced.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello - Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. My name is Michael; I look forward to helping you with your family law problem today.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Was there a divorce Order issued and if so, from which state (CA or TN)? Was the child located in CA or TN when the orders were made?
Are you there?
The custodial parent and I were never married. In May 1991,she had the child in Tennessee at which time I was required to submit to a paternity test in Shelby County, TN. Subsequent to the test, it was determined that i was the father. Tennessee then issued a court order demanding child support in the amount of $347.50 until the childs 18th birthday commencing in March 1992. About a year later The parent marries and moves to Olive Branch, Mississippi with her new spouse, the child and her daughter. In 1994 Ventura County CA Child Support Services summons me to court and orders that the child support be set at $312 per month. The Order is then forwarded to Mississippi Child Support Services who then start enforcing the order for $312. Now fast forward to 2011 and LAC-CSSD is demanding that I pay the Tennessee order amount which is $367.50 instead of $312!!! Instead of my statement balance going down it increased by $135000. What are my options
Why did Ventura County CA make a child support order?
Are you There?
Yes, I asked a question.
Why did Ventura County CA make a child support order? Why did they think they had jurisdiction?
Because I am a California resident and was living in Ventura County at the time. And because the custodial parent wanted me to start paying support. I had advise her that I was unemployed from June 1992 until Feb 1994. So she initiated the court action in Ventura from Mississippi
Thank you. It does not appear that Ventura County had the correct jurisdiction to make that Order. Only the child
Only the child's home state (6 months residency) can issue orders like that. Consequently, that order is invalid, and the Tennessee order should stand.
I'm sorry for the bad news, but they are correct in enforcing the Tennessee order.
So I have been paying all this money to Mississippi CSSD of $312 per month because that is what there monthly statement amount is every month and now I am being told that the Tennessee order is in force???
As far as I can see, the Tennessee order is the correct one. I would get a local attorney and make sure any money you have paid already will be put towards the current arrears amount.
They are being applied toward the arrears, now that balance increased to $13500 plus because of the difference between $312 and $367.50 going back to 1992. What are my options if any?
You don't have any options. Child support arrears are not forgivable. The Tennessee order is the correct order because the CA court didn't appear to have any jurisdiction over making that type of order (the child was not located there). Unfortunately, you will have to pay the amount requested.
I'm very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I can only relate the law as I see it.
I hope to have brought some clarity to the issue at least.
Yep that will do it
If I can answer anything further, let me know. Remember, I'm here to help and your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you don't have any questions and you valued my time, I'd ask you to consider rating me positively. Take care,Michael

Edible Image Printer Help?
Decorating By sarascakecreations Updated 11 Feb 2014 , 10:08pm by thecakewitch
I have heard before that you can use a regular printer to print an edible image? I just have to buy e icing sheets and edible ink.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
I currently own a Canon Pixma MX450 if that helps.
Thanks so much in advance.
ACheck out the website (icingimages, kopykake etc. ) of where you want to purchase your edible ink. They have info on what cartridge is compatible to what printer model/brand. Make sure your printer is new and never been used with regular ink.

Awdal news network is known to be one of the first Somali news websites that earned a great fame and popularity since its establishment. The great poet, journalist and writer Bashir Goth served as the editor of the news portal since February 2009, during his service in the website Bashir spared no effort in keeping awdalnews a place where the most influential Somali writers meet and share their issues of concern in good mood.
It was not the name of the news portal that kept the best writers stick to it but the personal charisma, intellect and professional quality of the editor in charge. The reality is that we were all addicted to reading the editorial articles that appeared weekly on the editorial portion of the website. It is needless to say that the daily visitors usually expected to see one scholarly article posted by the influential Somali writers that kept all of us attached to the website with eagerness and interest.
The best Somali Writers of the time used to pass their ideas to their readers for they understood that Awdalnews was one of the most visited websites with the intension of expecting more feedback for their area of concern. This shows how the personal quality of the editor can bring prestige and popularity to a news network and awdalnews network served as a prime example of what an editor meant to a website.
It was on February 2009 that Bashir Goth sent his goodbye message to all Readers of Awdalnews. His goodbye message has broken the hearts of many who admired his Journalistic qualities and to many who were daily contributors of scholarly and educative articles. Many asked themselves what went wrong and made Bashir to leave , many others, I hope urgently turned on their computers to write a message asking him why he took this decision and requested him to stay.
As one of the admirers of Bashir , I personally felt sad to see him leave but I had no other alternative except to wish him in the best of health for his future career .But I did not hesitate to mention that I will miss his knowledgeable and interesting editorial articles.
Soon after we knew that the editor left, we came to know that also all the influential writers followed his path and halted sending articles to the website. Today awdalnews is no more that we used to visit, it was the task of the new editor to keep the track that the former Editor had established .
The website had many friends and foes for its Quality but today it had missed many friends and foes for it lacks all the traits that once kept it at higher standards.
So , I would like to share with the readers with what went wrong with Awdal news network after Bashir Goth and if the readers feel that awdalnews has lost its leadership role in Somali news portals or if it is only me that felt the Demise of ANN .

The quality of life is the object of interest of several disciplines. Making inquiries about the possibilities of the people to live well has to do with developing some human capabilities that allow them to enjoy full life. A review was made of the various conceptions about quality of life, taking several philosophic and epistemological approaches as reference. Utilitarian standpoints, the ethics of capacities, bioethics and vision based on complexity were included. It was intended to stress that the quality of life is an area deserving attention because of the facets that it embraces, its inter-dimensionality and the uncertainty inherent to it. Hence, this area requires to be approached from the epistemological paradigm of complexity.
Keywords : Quality of life; paradigm of complexity.

From anticipation to expectation
There would have been a few almighty sighs of relief coming out of the FFA (Football Federation Australia) headquarters on New Year's Eve, given the tumultuous beginnings of the decade just passed and defining moments that salvaged the sport.
At the dawn the century, Australian football's administration appeared intent on political infighting and mismanagement, while the sport seemed destined for yet another long spell in the international wilderness.
The Socceroos had failed (yet again) to qualify for a World Cup, this time at the hands of Uruguay in 2001, while domestically, the sport's image was about as alluring as Margaret Thatcher in hotpants.
Soccer Australia (the name of Australian football's governing body at the time) was doing its best to transform the organisation into a comedy club - botched international friendlies, a TV rights saga and rumours of trading while insolvent were legacies left by those in charge.
The sport was at rock-bottom and the future appeared as bright as a sunset on a rainy day. Thankfully, the forecast soon changed and the Federal Government intervened just in time to ensure the sleeping giant of Australian sport awoke rather than falling into an eternal coma.
An investigation conducted by leading corporate figure David Crawford, on behalf of the Government and Australian Sports Commission, called for "a comprehensive governance framework and management structure for the sport that addresses the needs of affiliated organisations and stakeholders". Since receiving the wake-up call and digesting the Crawford report, the sport has gone from strength-to-strength.
After Soccer Australia was succeeded by the Australian Soccer Association (later FFA) in 2003, billionaire businessman Frank Lowy was appointed as chairman and he immediately set about establishing an organisation that would fulfil the immense potential the sport embodied.
The raft of new additions included an eight-team national competition, the A-League, the appointment of a new national coach for the Socceroos' 2006 World Cup campaign (Guus Hiddink) and a lucrative seven-year TV rights deal with Fox Sports worth $130 million - the biggest TV rights deal in the history of the sport in Australia.
The most significant achievement, however, would occur on 16 November, 2005, when John Aloisi stepped up to the penalty spot at Stadium Australia and guided his shot past an outstretched Fabian Carini to send Australia to its first World Cup in 32 years.
So, with the first decade of the 21st century bringing about much change to the Australian football landscape, what does the next one have in store?
Unlike the previous ten years of anticipation, the new decade is one of expectation in Australian football. Public opinion is that World Cup qualification is now a formality and they expect, not hope, that Australia will advance beyond the group stage of the 2010 World Cup.
Having gone from a climate where CEOs haggled for a TV rights deal that included coverage of a few local games at best, Australian football now finds itself in a commanding position, fuelled by public interest, ever-increasing participation rates at grassroots level and the prospect of hosting the game's biggest showpiece event, the FIFA World Cup.
Yet while football in Australia has built momentum and is surging forward, much of this momentum hinges on the future success of the Socceroos. While the A-League has been great for domestic football fans and increasing the awareness of the sport locally, it's the Socceroos that drive interest and bring in the corporate bacon.
It is therefore essential that the FFA keeps its house in order and focuses on the technical development of aspiring footballers by ensuring all stakeholders carry out its national football curriculum. World Cup qualification might therefore become a formality, our players could continue to grace the top leagues of Europe, local football would remain on our TV screens and, one day, a Socceroo captain might stand atop a podium with the World Cup in hand, shouting out "You beauty".

The Salomon Quest 4D II GTX, our do-it-all Editors' Choice Award Winner, exemplifies the latest design innovations in hiking boots. Salomon has built a midweight hiking boot that remains true to the comfort and function of their award winning trail runners, while providing the support and ankle stability that hikers and backpackers expect from a boot. "Fastpacking" applies the modern alpinist's light and fast approach to backpacking. By carefully selecting the minimum amount of lightweight equipment necessary for self-sufficiency, fastpackers cover long distances quickly, sometimes covering 20 miles or more in a day.
From the ground up, this is a high-performance boot. Nimble enough for running, and stable enough for harsh terrain, it eats up the miles. The Contagrip sole provides excellent traction across a range of surfaces on the trail and off. The 4D Advanced Chassis gives foot support and great torsional stability. The uppers combine several materials that are flexible and supportive at the same time. The lacing system was one of our favorites, and the comfortable ankle collar gave us peace of mind when bombing down steep grades. This boot begs to be pushed to the limit, and it delivers time and time again.
The Salomon did not go unchallenged in our review, facing fierce competition from the previous Editors' Choice winner, the Vasque St. Elias GTX, as well as the Lowa Renegade GTX Mid. Both are excellent midweight hikers, with the Renegade weighing a few ounces less, and that St. Elias over-stepping the Salomon in durability. If you stick to moderate trails and backpacking ventures, the much lighter and more comfortable HOKA ONE ONE Tor Ultra Hi WP is right up your alley. For more midweight hikers, and several lightweight models, be sure to check our complete review of Men's Hiking Boots.

Our Analysis and Hands-on Test Results
Review by:
Ross Robinson
Senior Review Editor
Last Updated:
November 27, 2016
The $230 Salomon Quest 4D II GTX has earned our Editors' Choice Award, continuing to be a favorite of ours over several years of combined testing. We have always loved it for outstanding comfort and stability while moving fast in rough terrain, as well as some of its more subtle features. The unique raised heel design wants to push you forward faster and faster! It also has great breathability, and proved to be one of the most water resistant models in our review. All these qualities combine to make the Quest 4D II a very versatile, functional boot that overall performs better than the rest.
Performance Comparison
Salomon's expertise designing burly trail running shoes has been translated into a boot that feels great on the foot. The first thing you'll notice when standing in this model is the slightly raised heel design. It might take a minute to get used to, but feels great when crushing miles. The forefoot is nice and roomy, while the heel cup captures the ankle bones to Achilles well. This boot grabs onto your ankle and foot to give you very confident stability without sacrificing comfort.
The ankle collar - one of the tallest of the hiking boots we tested - is surprisingly comfortable, and feels great snugged tight around the lower shin. It provides amazing ankle stability without the stiff feeling of traditional hiking boot designs.
This model's lacing system is perhaps the best we tested. Four lower eyelets allow you to custom fit the forefoot of the lower boot, which is very flexible. Folks with both a wide forefoot and a narrow forefoot praise the fit of the Quest's toe box. The middle eyelet has the best positive lock we tested, and its large radius makes it easy to use. Two upper eyelets complete the lacing system. The design of these upper eyelets is top notch; they capture the laces in such a way that having them pop loose is out of the question, but the laces can still slide freely as your ankle flexes. Only the Arc'teryx Bora2 Mid has a similar lacing system, though we liked the Quest's a tad better.
This product was the most breathable of the midweight hikers. Its upper incorporates nylon mesh panels, which allow the GORE-TEX liner to breathe. Furthermore, the Ortholite insert is perforated up front, allowing air to circulate under the foot and through the toe box. Salomon footwear has a well-earned reputation for offering great water resistance while remaining breathable, and this model lives up to the expectations set by its trail runner cousins.
Hikers interested in extreme comfort and lightweight properties might be better served by the Tor Ultra Hi WP, HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit Mid WP, or KEEN Targhee II Mid. However, those seeking an aggressive midweight hiker will find the Quest sufficiently comfortable and highly supportive, even under the weight of heavy backpacks on rock-filled trails.
The 4D Advanced Chassis and a wide 4.625-inch forefoot provide the base that propelled this model to the top score for stability. Combine this foundation with the tallest ankle collar of the boots we measured (tied with the Lowa Renegade GTX Mid), and it's no surprise that this boot earned the highest score for all-around stability. While wearing this hiker, we felt confident jumping around in the talus and moving fast over muddy trails full of roots. Moreover, the combination of materials Salomon uses for the ankle collar are comfortable but firm.
Torsional stability is also a strong point of this product, which strikes a great balance of a flexible upper and a stiff, supportive outsole. The only midweight boot that provides a stiffer forefoot is the Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid GTX. How is it that a boot with this much support and stability can be so comfortable? Thank you Salomon!
The Salomon Quest 4D II scored at the top of the heap in our steep scree and gravel tests. The lugs of the proprietary ContraGrip sole ate this terrain up, and the stiff sole with thick and durable toe protection dug into scree easily.
This product also performed exceptionally well in mud and slushy snow, similar to the St. Elias. We felt confident in its ability to keep us well-connected to the ground wandering around high in the mountains in the messy, early summer conditions. While this hiker stuck to wet rocks very well, it underperformed during our test on smooth, dry rock inclines. Overall, it received a high score for all-around traction, which certainly influenced our decision to award it our Editors' Choice. For supreme grip on rock, our Top Pick for Scrambling, the Asolo Jumla GV, has you covered.
This was the third-heaviest pair we reviewed, weighing in at 3.24 lbs. for a size 11.5 US. But it also has the tallest ankle collar, and overall is a formidably constructed boot. The Renegade matches the collar height of the Quest 4D II, but at a significantly lower weight.
When considering the support and stability provided by the Quest 4D II, it is quite light for what it delivers.
While it's true that many boot-wearing fastpackers on the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails prefer featherweight models like the Targhee II, the average fastpacker isn't looking at covering 3,000 miles in four or five months. We think that most rough terrain fastpackers will benefit enough from the added ankle stability and forefoot support provided by the Quest that it's worth a bit of extra weight.
Water Resistance
This model has one of the highest flood heights of all the hiking boots we tested, measuring 6.125 inches. It also beads water off, straight out of the box. Salomon uses the industry standard GORE-TEX Performance Comfort Footwear membrane in this liner. However, the upper's ability to bead water breaks down quickly though, and regular applications of a waterproofing treatment will keep the upper from soaking up water.
The Quest 4D II tied with the St. Elias and Lowa Renegade for the best score in this metric. The only drawback we found was that when we completely soaked this boot inside and out, it took approximately 27 hours to dry out in indirect sunlight, where the other two competitors above dried much faster.
We awarded this piece a seven for durability. Salomon uses a combination of nubuck leather and nylon mesh on the upper, and there are a lot of seams. These seams in the forefoot are weak points for wear as we saw happen in the Merrell Capra Venture Mid GTX, and eventually, the waterproof liner could be compromised here. That said, we were still satisfied with its durability.
After 3 months of use, these boots still looked and performed like new, except becoming even more comfortable after being broken-in. This is another product that will benefit from a liberal application of Seam Grip if you plan to beat them up off trail. The highest scorers in this category were the St. Elias and the Mountain Trainer.
Best Applications
This is the boot we liked especially for fastpacking trips in sloppy conditions, or over rough terrain, but it would be a great choice for any backpacking trip. This hefty boot is best used for carrying medium to heavy loads, but is comfortable enough that you can take them day hiking as well. Sized appropriately for wearing a thick wool sock, it's a perfect snowshoeing boot too, and fits with strap-on crampons as well. Overall, we highly recommend this product for an expansive variety of applications in the backcountry.
At $230, this model is reasonably priced. Its hi-tech design delivers top notch performance, although there are a few boots in this price range that will more than likely last longer, such as the St. Elias or the Mountain Trainer Mid. If you're looking for something much lighter and less expensive (but also less stable and supportive), lightweight hikers like the Targhee II and Tor Summit Mid WP are even more affordable.
If you want to get the highest performing hiking boot to handle whatever terrain you put in its path, this is the boot for you. It combines comfort, excellent stability, traction, and water resistance in a very agile and speedy package. Do your backpacking friends have trouble matching your pace? They'll never catch you in these fast movers! Come rain or shine, warm or cold temps, talus or mud, river crossing or dry desert, we think you'll love the all-around performance the Salomon Quest 4D II offers.

Fight Hate: Take Action NOWby Miki Saxon
Today is (or should be) the first day of the rest of your life speaking out and actively working for the world in which you want to live. To do everything you can to quell the rise of hate and change the direction of your world.
If you care it's time to act — not wait for the other guy to do it.
I'm sure that some of my readers are happy with its direction and will be very unhappy with this post. They may even unsubscribe (it's happened in the past), but that is their right and I respect that.
But hopefully the rest of you will heed this call to action, take time to read the links and time to think about the world you want — not just for yourself, but for you current/future kids and their kids, etc.
Last December I wrote about a pledge by techs not to build a Muslim registery and I quoted the words of Martin Niemöller, a prominent Protestant pastor and rabid anti-Nazi, who spent seven years in a concentration camp.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
This resonates with me because I am Jewish, granted I'm a sectarian Jew, but bigots don't make that distinction.
My father's family had the choice of emigrating from Russia or dying by the had of the Cossacks.
My Romanian grandmother was lucky. Her sister's husband had only enough money to bring one sister to the US and she drew the short straw. The rest of the family died in the Holocaust.
I doubt it was an accident that the executive order was issued on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
I'm also a nobody and MAPping Company Success is barely a gnat in the blogsphere, but I'm adding my voice to Fred Wilson's Make America Hate Again, Mark Suster's Never Let Anybody Tell You to Shut Up and many others.
The hate being shown to this wave of refugees echoes the hate shown to past waves, but this time it's far more hysterical and fraught.
As for the argument that the Muslim ban fights terrorism, what really are the odds that you might die in a terrorist attack in the US, especially compared to all the other ways to die? Take a look at the hard data.
Yes, ISIS is real, but terrorism on our soil is an excellent cover for one of the truly ugly underlying reasons today's refugees are so violently rejected — they are black.
Anand Sanwal provided an insightful comment in his typically irreverent style.
So I landed in India with my daughter on Saturday and saw the news about immigration changes in the USA.
I don't think American citizens of Indian descent are banned from re-entering the USA yet, but let me know if anything changes as I got another 5 days here and things appear to be changing quickly.
For the time being, I believe my type of brown person is still considered ok so that's a relief. But definitely let me know if that changes. Thanks.
From Trump to Tea Party you are seeing the second coming of WASP thinking.
If this isn't who you are then you need to speak out.
Not only speak out, but get active NOW.
By getting involved in Swing Left, an organized effort to take back the House in 2018 or go directly to the Swing Left website.
The operative word is NOW.

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings forward Mikael Samuelsson hopes he doesn't need a couple of games to get up and running after returning to the lineup Sunday in Minnesota.
Coach Mike Babcock feels the same way. He is expecting an immediate contribution.
"I made it very clear, I don't have time for him to tip-toe around and get used to playing,'' Babcock said. "We got points on the line, we need him playing right now. He said he's more than ready to go, so good for us.''
Samuelsson can provide an offensive boost. He will play the point on the second power-play unit.
"He plays in all situations, he's going to be good for the PP; he's a big body with a good shot,'' Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "We've really been missing him, basically from the start.''
Samuelsson has missed 12 games after re-aggravating his groin on Jan. 21. In hindsight, he came back too soon after hurting his groin in training camp.
"I thought I was ready, I wasn't quite ready,'' Samuelsson said. "When it doesn't go your way it's really frustrating, but you got to listen to your body.
"Hopefully, you learn something from it. But, it was not a huge setback. Now I feel good.''
Mrazek anxious, never nervous: Rookie goaltender Petr Mrazek will make his second NHL start on Sunday, after a splendid 26-save performance in a 5-1 win at St. Louis Feb. 7.
"I feel the same way I did in my first game,'' Mrazek said. "I'm never nervous, so I will go there and have fun and enjoy every minute.''
Babcock didn't know what to expect before Mrazek's debut.
"It looks like he's got moxie and it looks like he can play, so let's see him play,'' Babcock said.
"Now you got to do it again, and you got to do it again. And when you've done it for 15 straight years, they say you're good.''
Franzen resumes skating: Forward Johan Franzen won't play Sunday and said he'll likely miss his fourth game in a row Tuesday at Nashville due to a sore hip flexor. But, he skated for 20-25 minutes before practice the past two days.
"It's going full-out that bothers me,'' Franzen said. "Try to ease into it and make sure I'm in one piece coming back.
"You don't heal this injury in a couple days. It takes some time. You got to be patient and don't rush into it because it's going to flare up again.''
He said an ultrasound revealed a muscle strain.

Ciliopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases that exhibit broad clinical phenotypes, including renal cysts, retinal degeneration, and cerebellar vermis aplasia. Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a renal ciliopathy that causes chronic kidney disease and is characterized by kidney cysts at the cortico-medullary border. Among the 10 different disease-causing genes (NPHP1-NPHP10), mutations in NPHP3, NPHP6, or NPHP8 cause the most severe ciliopathy variants of NPHP, Joubert syndrome, and Meckel Syndrome. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that loss of function of these three most severe disease-associated genes leads to morphological defects in a three-dimensional (3D) renal cell culture [murine (m) inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) 3] model by either lack of cilia formation and/or cell polarity defects. Stable knockdown cell lines were examined in 3D spheroid culture followed by rhodamine-phalloidin staining to assess spheroid architecture. We observed significantly higher percentages of abnormal spheroids for all three stable cell lines compared with control short-hairpin RNA cells. In addition, stable knockdown of Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 results in reduced cilia numbers and elevated cAMP levels in mIMCD3 cells. We demonstrate that, following gene knockdown of Nphp3, Nphp6, or Nphp8, treatment with the somatostatin agonist octreotide (2 μM) reduces the percentage of abnormal spheroids compared with control. This study reveals that the loss of Nphp3, Nphp6, or Nphp8 leads to cilia abnormalities and cell polarity defects, resulting in spheroid abnormalities, which can be rescued by inhibiting cAMP levels with octreotide treatment.

nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies (NPHP-RC) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that exhibit shared clinical phenotypes, including renal cysts, retinal degeneration, and cerebellar vermis aplasia (6). Among the 10 different NPHP disease-causing genes (NPHP1-NPHP10), mutations in NPHP3, NPHP6, or NPHP8 cause the most severe NPHP-RC, Joubert Syndrome, and Meckel Syndrome (7). Studies into these diseases have revealed that virtually all of the gene products involved in the pathogenesis in humans, mice, or zebrafish are expressed at the primary cilia-centrosome complex (6, 15). Cilia are a key component of a number of signal transduction pathways, including Hedgehog (shh) (2) and Wnt signaling (3, 5). Centrosomal proteins regulate cell polarity and oriented cell division and participate in the mitotic spindle formation during mitosis (3, 13).
Seventeen ciliopathy genes are known to cause NPHP-RC if mutated (for review, see Ref. 6), whereas NPHP3, NPHP6/Cep290, or NPHP8/RPGRIP1L mutations lead to the most severe ciliopathy phenotypes, including NPHP-Joubert syndrome and Meckel syndrome. Because mutation of these genes causes overlapping disease, phenotypes suggest that the mutated disease proteins may interact and function in a common pathway (13). Although the pathogenesis has been studied extensively, no clear pathways have been delineated, and no effective treatment has been developed.
Recent studies have established that cAMP stimulates mural epithelial cell proliferation and secretion of fluid into cysts in patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) (16). Elevated cAMP levels are found in the kidney, liver, vascular smooth muscle, and choroid plexus, in various animal models of PKD and NPHP (4, 9, 14, 16). A recent study from our group has demonstrated that Nphp10 (Sdccag8) disappears from cell junctions upon treatment of cells with the cAMP analog 8-bromo-cAMP (11). These studies prompted us to examine whether loss of function of NPHP-RC genes causes cellular abnormalities in the renal cystic disease model of three-dimensional (3D) spheroids (10) and whether the effect can be rescued by modulation of cAMP levels.
Generation of stable knockdown murine inner medullary collecting duct cells: shRNA duplexes were designed and cloned into RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ vector (Clonetech). Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) target sequences for Nphp genes were as follows: Nphp3 (5′-GGATTAATCTACCACCGTTTG-3′, 5′-GGATTCCACTCCAGAAGAAGA-3′, and 5′-GGACATACACGATGAGCAAGA-3′), Nphp6 (5′-GGAAGAAATTGTTCAGCAAAG-3′, 5′-GGAAGACCTTCATGTTCTTCA-3′, and 5′-GGAGCAGACAGTAGCAGAACA-3′), and Nphp8 (5′-GGATCAAGCTATTCGACTTTA-3′, 5′-GGATTTGGATCGCTACCTTAA-3′, and 5′-GGGAAATGCAACAAGGGAAAG-3′).
Retrovirus was generated by transfecting 293T cells with the shRNA constructs along with pVSV and p-gag-pol constructs. Murine (m) inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) 3 cells were infected with the supernatant. IMCD3 cells were then selected with puromycin resistance for 10 days at 10 μg/ml.
Quantitative real-time PCR.
RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagene). First-strand cDNA was performed using Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). Accumulation of PCR products was measured in real time by using iTaq SYBR green supermix with the MyiQ Single Color Real-time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad).
Spheroid assay.
3D spheroid cell culture was performed using Geltrex Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Invitrogen) in chamber slides. Spheroids were stained with rhodamine-phalloidin and DAPI. The spheroid architecture was examined under an inverted confocal microscope (Leica).
Immunofluorescence studies.
mIMCD3 cell lines were grown on the filter and serum starved for 48 h. Cells were fixed and stained with acetylated α-tubulin for the cilia and anti-somatostatin receptor antibodies. Anti-mouse Alexa fluor 594 and anti-rabbit Alexa fluor-488 were used as secondary antibodies and DAPI as nuclear stain. The membrane filters were mounted on slides, and the images were taken under an inverted confocal microscope (Leica). A total of 100 cells were counted for each group for cilia quantification.
Measurement of intracellular cAMP.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed on cell lysates in triplicate samples using a Direct Cyclic AMP Enzyme Immunoassay kit (Arbor Assays).
In the present study, we generated mIMCD3 cell lines of stable knockdown of Nphp3, Nphp6, or Nphp8 with retroviral delivery of three shRNA duplexes for each gene. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that all three shRNA duplexes for each gene reduced mRNA expression of each gene. However, Nphp3.1, Nphp6.1, and Nphp8.1 were more efficient than the other two shRNA duplexes for the same gene (Fig. 1, A–C). To test whether knockdown of Nphp subtype affects other Nphp mRNA expression, we used the cDNAs from these cells and tested in the context of Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 primer sets in a reciprocal real-time PCR analysis. These results confirm the specificity of the knockdown by shRNA duplexes (Fig. 1D). To test the effects of Nphp knockdown on the cell proliferation, growth assay was performed by plating an equal number of cells and counting them by an automatic counter (TC10; Bio-Rad) at different time intervals. Our data suggested retarded growth of Nphp knockdown cells compared with the sh-neg control cell line (Fig. 2A). To investigate the roles of Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 gene products in tissue architecture, we examined Nphp knockdown cell lines in a 3D spheroid culture system that reflects the cell biology of kidney collecting duct. Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 knockdown mIMCD3 cell lines were grown in the 3D culture system for 3–4 days to develop spheroid structure. Spheroids were then stained with rhodamine-phalloidin for F-actin and DAPI (for nuclear staining) to visualize spheroid architecture under an inverted confocal microscopy. Spheroid architecture was examined by focusing at the equator of the spheroids to visualize lumen formation. Spheroids with no lumen and/or misaligned nuclei were considered as abnormal (Fig. 3A).
We found significantly higher percentages of abnormal spheroids for all three stable knockdown cell lines (Nphp3, 73%; Nphp6, 84%; and Nphp8, 56%) compared with control shRNA cells (21%) (Fig. 3B). Spheroid abnormalities from cells with knockdown of Nphp genes by small-interfering RNA have also been reported in a recent study (13).
We investigated the cilia defects by growing sh-neg, Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 cell lines on membrane filters under conditions of ciliogenesis (see methods). Cilia quantification data (Fig. 2, B and C) suggested that lack of all three Nphp genes under this study resulted in significant reduction in cilia numbers in the stable knockdown cells. Because cilia are sensory organelles for the kidney cells, lack of cilia might perturb signaling events critical for normal polarity maintenance.
Previous studies have established that cAMP plays a central role in the progression of cystic disease in patients with autosomal dominant PKD by stimulating epithelial cell proliferation and secretion of fluid into cysts (12). This has provided a strong rationale for therapies targeting cAMP signaling. Somatostatin analogs acting on Gi protein-coupled receptors provided an alternative path to inhibit cAMP signaling in tubular epithelial cells in patients with PKD. Research studies showed that somatostatin receptor inhibitor octreotide significantly reduces cAMP levels and rates of cysts expansion in freshly isolated bile ducts from PCK rats grown in 3D culture (9).
We treated Nphp3, Nphp6, and Nphp8 knockdown spheroids with the somatostatin agonist octreotide (2 μM) and observed that treatment of knockdown spheroids with octreotide (2 μM) reduced the percentage of abnormal spheroids to 29% (Nphp3), 35% (Nphp6), and 35% (Nphp8), whereas vehicle control abnormal spheroids were 68% (Nphp3), 87% (Nphp6), and 65% (Nphp8) (Fig. 4). Because octreotide was a known ligand for somatostatin receptors (Sstr), we evaluated the mRNA expression level of somatostatin receptors (Sstr1–5) using cDNA from the mIMCD3 cell line by RT-PCR analysis. Our expression data suggested that, except for Sstr4, all other Sstr mRNAs were abundant in mIMCD3 cells (Fig. 5A). In addition, imaging analysis revealed that only Sstr3 was localized to the primary cilium (Fig. 5B). Our data are in agreement with the studies by others where it has been clearly demonstrated that a consensus sequence of third intracellular loop3 of Sstr3 was critical for cilia localization (1). We then analyzed the intracellular cAMP concentrations in octreotide-treated or untreated control, Nphp3-sh, Nphp6-sh, and Nphp8-sh cell lines. Our data suggested that elevated intracellular cAMP levels in Nphp knockdown cells compared with the control sh-neg cells. Octrotide treatment significantly reduces cAMP levels in the Nphp knockdown cells or control cells (Fig. 5C).
This study reveals that lack of Nphp3, Nphp6, or Nphp8 leads to cell polarity defects, resulting in spheroid abnormalities that can be rescued by inhibiting intracellular cAMP levels with octreotide treatment. Recently, in a randomized clinical trial, long-acting octreotide has been reported to slow down disease progression in patients with polycystic liver disease (8). Our study confirms that manipulation of the cAMP pathways could be one of the therapeutic approaches in treating patients with NPHP-RC.

RAD Prototyping Software. Almost makes a person question what took all this time for us to get it right? Regardless, it appears that Brook Group has a better handle on this sort of thing than most.
Ellicott City, MD (PRWEB) June 27, 2006 — The Web site design process at Brook Group (http://www.brookgroup.com) improved dramatically with the introduction of RAD prototyping last year. In fact, over 85 percent of their current clients use RAD for Web site development projects. (http://www.brookgroup.com/rad)
RAD transforms Brook Group's Tacklebox® Web content management system (http://www.brookgroup.com/tacklebox) into a fully-interactive tool that allows clients to visualize how their site's content will be organized. With this easy-to-use application, clients create a navigation structure and enter content to build a working prototype.
RAD provides a site from which content can be directly moved to the final site, whether it is a Tacklebox-driven site or not. Those who have been through the complexity of Web design the old-fashioned way were surprised by the speed and ease of the new process.
"Using Brook Group's RAD program made designing our new website a breeze! I enjoyed deciding what content to include on the website without the distraction of the design. The RAD program is so clean. We composed pages easily with copy/paste and other formatting functions available in a toolbar instead of learning any coding. And, reorganizing the structure was simple with the site tree tool," says Heather Gibbons of Brenau University… Source: PR Web

An open verdict has been recorded at the inquest into the death of a pregnant woman at the Dublin City Coroner's Court.
Anna Byrne, 35, from Dunboyne, Co Meath, was 38 weeks pregnant with twins when she went missing on 7 March
The coroner Dr Brian Farrell said while there were indications of suicide, it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
The family's solicitor said Ms Byrne's husband, Terry, was anxious that mental health notes should be shared with antenatal teams in future as was not done in this case at the Rotunda Hospital.
Dr Farrell said he would write to the Board of the Rotunda to pass on the family's comments.
Ms Byrne, a mother-of-two, had failed to collect her toddler from a crèche in Dunboyne.
The alarm was raised and gardaí found her car at Howth summit.
The next day, a woman's body was found in the sea and later identified as Anna.
Her husband said he left for work on the morning of her death and spoke to her by phone at 11am and nothing was wrong.
A short time later, the crèche rang to say she had not picked up her son, Aidan.
Mr Byrne confirmed that she had been depressed but she had never indicated that she would harm herself.
He said her death was completely unexpected.
The inquest also heard from Dr Sam Coulter-Smith, Obstetrician and Master of the Rotunda Hospital. He did not treat her personally but he detailed her medical history.
Twice towards the end of her pregnancy, anxiety was noted and she was referred to the hospital's mental health midwife.
He said when she filled in her initial forms, she had not indicated her history of depression although the question was asked.
Dr Sam Coulter-Smith said depression was noted in her previous pregnancies but not this one.
Under questioning from the family's solicitor, Dr Coulter-Smith said her psychiatric team's notes were kept separate from the antenatal team in order to maintain confidentiality.
Ms Byrne's father, John Deeny, asked if the hospital should not have admitted her to keep her under observation given her anxiety and history.
Dr Coulter-Smith said a premature delivery was not indicated and they did not bring in patients for bed rest.
Dr John Sheehan, consultant psychiatrist at the Rotunda, said that Ms Byrne was referred to him.
He said she had been depressed since her early 20s and had been on the anti-depressant Seroxat for ten years.
Dr Sheehan said she had recurrent depression associated with adjustment disorder but he considered her a low-risk for suicide because of her gender, age, marital status, pregnancy and lack of suicidal ideation.
