Joe Watson
Joe Watson played his junior hockey with the Estevan Bruins of the SJHL in 1962-63. The following year, he turned pro in the CHL with the Minneapolis Bruins. Over the two campaigns that followed, he caught a brief tryout with the Boston Bruins between longer outings with Minneapolis and, later, the Oklahoma Blazers.
In 1966-67, Watson's persistence finally earned him a full-time spot as a sixth and seventh defenseman with the gradually strengthening Bruins. But when the Expansion Draft was held at the end of the campaign, the young rearguard was left unprotected. As such, Flyers' GM Bud Poile spotted a solid defensive prospect in young Watson.
In Philly, he found his spiritual centre as a charter member of the Flyers who added stability to his club's new blueline corps. Over the years that followed, he became a defensive workhorse who helped keep his team respectable until their Stanley Cup pieces began to fall into place during the early 1970s.
During those years, Watson became a reliable rearguard who employed a steady positional style of play, highlighted by a daring streak as a fearless shot blocker. He also exhibited a contagiously positive team attitude that won him the favor of his fans. In 1974 and 1975, his foundational contribution to his team came to complete fruition with Stanley Cup victories at the conclusion of both seasons.
Watson continued with the Flyers until 1979. At age 35, he was traded to the youth-riddled Colorado Rockies who where looking to the veteran rearguard to teach their young blueline corps how to play good old-fashioned defense.
Just 16 games into his first campaign, while playing against St. Louis, Watson chased a loose puck near the end of the ice. The Blues' Wayne Babych checked him against the boards, leaving the fallen rearguard with the worst broken leg in NHL history. His thighbone was shattered into 14 pieces and his kneecap was split in two. Watson's career on ice was over, but he has maintained a presence in the hockey community, specifically in the Flyers organization, for many years.

Speech by OECD Deputy Secretary-General Pier Carlo Padoan
INCOM Workshop on Innovation and Growth Policy in the EU,
Prague, 22-23 January 2009
The Lisbon Strategy had set the goal for Europe to become by 2010 "the most competitive, knowledge-based economy in the world". Accordingly, the Barcelona objective was for Europe to spend 3% of its GDP on R&D.
Nearly ten years after, it's fair to say that there is still a long way to go to achieve these objectives. An incomplete policy mix and a changing environment explain this failure.
The OECD has been tasked by its member government to prepare an "innovation strategy". I would like to share with you some initial lessons that the OECD innovation strategy can offer for a revised Lisbon strategy.
Major themes emerging from the innovation strategy, that can help the Lisbon Strategy to evolve and become relevant to the policy making process, are:
I will conclude this talk by some reflections on the current economic crisis and its meaning for innovation policies.
Innovation is an interactive process: in many cases new ideas emerge from the combination of existing ideas. Globalisation and the rise of the Internet have enhanced this effect , making openness central to innovation processes:
Policies must ensure the proper conditions for knowledge to circulate in a global and connected world.
The emergence of knowledge markets as mechanisms for enabling, supporting, and facilitating the mobilization, sharing, or exchange of information and knowledge. This includes various mechanisms:
Most policies currently are not suited to this new world: IPR and competition policy notably need to be reviewed and updated in light of these new challenges.
The role of non-traditional actors, including users and consumers, has become more important in driving scientific discovery and innovation. That raises new challenges for policies, including education policy and IPR.
The globalisation of science and technology has advanced rapidly: national government have to enhance their co-operation accordingly and review the relevance of national policies rooted in domestic markets and based on the premise of local benefits gained from un-captured "spillovers".
Implications for EU policies: exploit the single market more, accelerate intergration and liberalization of service markets.
The services sector is gaining in importance both as a source of innovation, i.e. new and impoved services, and as a user of innovations. The integration and liberalisation of service markets keeps lagging behind in Europe. Accelerating these processes could potentially have a high impact on the overall level of innovative activity, and thus on long-term growth.
There is no currently a single EU patent, which would provide protection to inventors EU-wide with legal certainty at a reasonable cost. That is a necessity for the EU to become a single market for new products. Current discussions need to make progress both on the European single patent court and on the community patent. That requires that countries set aside the implicit protectionism that have plagued policies, accepting that inventions invented in other countries have equal protection as domestic inventions in their domestic market.
Creative destruction, the renewal of firms and sectors, business dynamics are at the core of innovation and productivity growth.
Europe's persistent deficit in R&D is to a large extent the result of its failure to promote the emergence and growth of innovative businesses in new sectors (new technologies and services).
50% of business R&D in the United States is performed by companies which are less than 25 years old -- there is nothing comparable for Europe.
Because of various impediments in the business environment, the key policy issues have not been fully addressed:
Implications for EU policies: accelerate integration of EU financial markets and support venture capital, support university business interactions, eliminate barriers to public procurement.
The new European Small Business Act adopted in December 2008 marks progress in that regard. It will level the playing for SMEs vis à vis large firms, regarding access to public procurement and to funding and the creation of a status of the European company, acting under a European statute.
The currently discussed creation of a central authority in Europe, at least the Euro area, for monitoring financial markets would not only facilitate the securisation of the banking sector in the current crisis, but also the Europe-wide circulation of risk capital, which is much beneficial to innovation.
Creativity and culture
Creativity is the essence of innovation and growth. Workers must be creative, adaptable and develop new knowledge and skills as long as they remain on the labour market.
An organisational culture encouraging innovation is a recognised success factor in firms and public institutions, alike.
Education systems must be updated to take into account the development of "soft skills" and the capacity to be flexible in learning and adapting to demand for new skills.
Core to an innovation strategy are:
Implications for EU policies: accelerate integration of EU education, develop a European research area, open access to EU research funds to all.
Whereas culture diversity in Europe should be cherished as a source of creativity, the development of a "European innovation area", based on a convergence of both EU education and research policies toward best practices should be actively promoted.
The Ljubjana process (started in 2008), about the coordination of national research policies should be emphasised and accelerated, as EC managed research funding only represents a small part of public funding to research in Europe, the rest being managed by national governments.
Global challenges
Innovation plays a crucial role in addressing a range of global challenges. Three prime examples of global challenges for which innovation and new technologies will necessarily be part of the solution are climate change, emerging and neglected infectious diseases and food security.
These challenges are all high priority public concerns and their solutions require global action where the same challenges of complexity, global sourcing, networking and financing apply.
However, the policy context which guides both public and private investment in innovations that can help address these challenges and maximize their economic impact is different. In particular:
Implications for EU policies. Sustainable development is an area on which Europe has developed both significant capacities in scientific research and industrial technology and a broad societal consensus.
Addressing climate change can be used as a mobilising goal on which European trans-disciplinary effort of major actors in science, technology and innovation can be focussed. As a global challenge it also provides a priority area for international co-operation with the rest of the world, including technology transfer, as part of joint innovation efforts notably with developing countries.
The "lead markets" initiative of the EU rightly addresses societal and environmental challenges, like waste management, water management etc. It still needs to be fine tuned, regarding notably issues like competition, but it seems ta have a great potential.
The grand challenge before us is to develop a second generation of innovation policies relying on a new set of indicators and an updated measurement framework for innovation.
If innovation is changing in radical ways that we do not yet fully understand, then our understanding of the drivers of innovation and sources of economic performance is incomplete and policy recommendations risk becoming less and less meaningful and perhaps harmful. Measurement that can guide analysis and policy making is core to an innovation strategy.
In particular, we can gain a clearer perspective by:
Today's economic downturn
The current economic downturn is the first of this severity to hit OECD economies that have been transformed to knowledge-based economies. Both our current policies directed towards promoting innovation and our efforts to stimulate growth need to reflect this reality.
The OECD "strategic response" to the crisis strongly emphasizes the need to link the short term response to the longer term goals of increasing productivity while making growth more knowledge-driven and climate-friendly.
The crisis is an opportunity to raise EU trend growth and make it more knowledge driven and sustainable
Sustained innovation is a principal way out of this slowdown and the medium term must not be sacrificed on the altar of the short term.
The role of innovation:
The role of policy experimentation:
The crisis can also be an opportunity for governments to consider new policy instruments which seem to have potential but have not yet been implemented at a substantial scale.
The exact picture of the post-crisis economy is far from clear, but it is obvious that it will be significantly different from the pre-crisis economy. A forward-looking Lisbon Strategy must address:
The OECD can assist in the coordination of policies through its analytical expertise and perhaps more importantly as a forum where best practices can be shared, problems can be collectively analysed and solutions can be identified.

Metabolic Pathway
Created: 2017-06-02
Last Updated: 2019-08-16
Phosphatidylcholines (PC) are a class of phospholipids that incorporate a phosphocholine headgroup into a diacylglycerol backbone. They are the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic cell membranes and has both structural and signalling roles. In eukaryotes, there exist two phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis pathways: the Kennedy pathway and the methylation pathway. The Kennedy pathway begins with the direct phosphorylation of free choline into phosphocholine followed by conversion into CDP-choline and subsequently phosphatidylcholine. It is the major synthesis route in animals. The methylation pathway involves the 3 successive methylations of phosphatidylethanolamine to form phosphatidylcholine. The first reaction of the Kennedy pathway involves the cytosol-localized enzyme choline/ethanolamine kinase catalyzing the conversion of choline into phosphocholine. Second, choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, catalyzes the conversion of phosphocholine to CDP-choline. Last, choline/ethanolaminephosphotransferase catalyzes phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis from CDP-choline. It requires either magnesium or manganese ions as cofactors. A parallel Kennedy pathway forms phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine - the only difference being a different enzyme, ethanolamine-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, catalyzing the second step. Phosphatidylethanolamine is also synthesized from phosphatidylserine in the mitochondrial membrane by phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. Phosphatidylethanolamine funnels into the methylation pathway in which phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) then catalyzes three sequential N-methylation steps to convert phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine. PEMT uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine as a methyl donor.

Sony's looking to expand its PlayStation game offerings to other mobile devices, Sony Computer Entertainment chief Kaz Hirai told a conference in Hong Kong on Friday.
"This isn't an ecosystem where we want to keep everything within the Sony family," he said, according to The Wall Street Journal. "This is not just for Sony devices."
Hirai didn't elaborate with which device makers Sony is interested in partnering.
Sony's own Xperia Play plays original PlayStation games, served over the Android marketplace. The device requires the PlayStation Suite to play the games; to be certified for PlayStation Suite, a smartphone, tablet or other device has to pass certain hardware specifications.
Of course, there are also those working on emulators that will play ISOs of original PlayStation discs. Hirai's talking about officially spreading around the PlayStation Suite
The Xperia Play hasn't caught fire, and sales of PlayStation Games on the Android marketplace, at the US launch, were low, attributed to few titles being offered and lack of consumer awareness.

The Best Cruise Ship for Your Demographicby Paul Motter
While passé cruise stereotypes no longer apply, choosing the appropriate line and ship for you is still paramount.
|There are many cruise lines and ships to select from.
A friend of mine recently told me, "My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon and we were the youngest people on the boat." They were in their mid-twenties on a cruise ship where the average age was 50, the Holland America Westerdam back in 1993. In those days there was a rather cynical expression that said "cruises are for the newly wed or nearly dead."
Back then cruise ships were smaller. Strangers dined together at assigned tables and there was only one show after dinner. More cruisers were elderly, solely because younger people had never been exposed to passenger ships – unless you count the fantasy television series "The Love Boat."
In order to grow, the cruise lines had to reach the family market. They did it by building larger ships with more activities, dining options and variety in the entertainment. Successfully, over 13 million cruises were taken in 2010. Today the average cruiser is 42 years old – more or less depending on which cruise ship you choose – and that is the key - you still have to pick the right ship.
Let's look at the individual demographics for the popular cruise lines.
Starting with the youngest age groups; kids are concerned with making new friends and prefer a ship with plenty of other kids and lots of fun activities. Except for Disneyphile adults, Disney Cruise Line appeals mostly to children and the parents who want to please them. Still, Disney offers plenty of adult-only activities on its ships, primarily because they have no choice – otherwise the huge number of kids onboard would overwhelm everything.
Like most mainstream cruise lines, Disney offers extensive children's programs where kids are segregated into smaller age groups; usually six to 36 months (infants & toddlers), ages three through eleven (children), twelve through fourteen ('tweens') and 15 to 17 (teens). Disney ships carry the largest percentage of youngsters onboard, but Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL), Carnival and Royal Caribbean also carry many kids on most cruises, and also offer extensive children's programs onboard.
While Disney offers "character experiences" with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Cinderella, Ariel and other characters walking the ships and interacting with the guests, NCL has characters from the Nickelodeon television network and Royal Caribbean has DreamWorks Animation characters such as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda. Carnival does not have any kid's character affiliations but it is "The Fun Ship" cruise line. Carnival's kid's programs are as just as much fun as other cruise lines with extensive water parks, video games and organized activities.
Cruises for Young Adults - Singles
In truth, cruising is not the singles experience portrayed on "The Love Boat." Cruises have actually always catered to couples and families first, and they never were ideal places to meet new people although it certainly does happen.
Singles surrounded by other people interacting with their loved ones can end up feeling lonelier on a cruise than at home, therefore for singles I recommend organized singles cruises by companies who match roommates and organize special events onboard. Another option for singles is NCL's newest flagship, Norwegian Epic; the first and only ship with a dedicated area just for single adults. The cabins, called "Studio Staterooms," share a common corridor leading to a private "Living Room" where singles can meet and join activities coordinated by the staff. There is no "singles supplement" charge for these Studio Staterooms.
Young Adults - Couples
The mainstream cruise lines above will appeal most to young adults in families or couples. The entertainment is positioned for Boomer, Gen-X and even Y cruisers. Royal Caribbean has the most sports activities like rock climbing, NCL has the biggest variety of nighttime entertainment while Carnival (the "Fun Ships") is for people who like to get involved with the staff and play goofy games with other passengers.
The Premium Cruise Demographic
If you do not have kids then the "premium" cruise lines; Princess, Celebrity and Holland America, should appeal to you. These lines have far fewer children onboard so they are rarely a distraction. For the few that are onboard the ships have children's programs as described above – but they are less crowded which can change the "fun factor."
The general rule is "the longer the cruise the older the cruiser." Retired people have more time for longer cruises. Cost also counts; taking a family of four on a seven day cruise can be as expensive as a 14-day cruise for two.
Seven-day Caribbean or 10-day European cruises on the premium cruise lines are for fun and lively adult couples. The entertainment will be more sophisticated than the mainstream lines; more concert pianists and standard dance music.
More vivacious retirees flock to Oceania, Azamara and Windstar cruises. These lines offer port intensive itineraries as well as creature comforts and gourmet food.
Somewhat larger and catering to the ocean liner set of world travelers are Cunard Line, Crystal Cruises (actually a luxury cruise line but with larger ships) and the new Marina and forthcoming Riviera of Oceania Cruises.
Senior Cruisers
In addition to longer cruises, the most elderly seniors gravitate to the luxury cruise lines; Seabourn, Silversea and Regent. Seabourn, in particular, has an older clientele that is often more concerned with the food served onboard than the cuisine of the local ports of call. These small luxury ships strive to create a "yacht club" atmosphere. Much like a small town versus a big city, fellow cruisers are often very congenial on these upper crust small luxury ships, but that doesn't make them any more tolerant of children or late night revelers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Chicago film critic and television personality Roger Ebert says "Ebert Presents at the Movies" will end this season if it doesn't get financial help soon.
"Unless we find an angel, our television program will go off the air at the end of its current season," Ebert wrote in a blog Sunday night for the Chicago Sun-Times. "There. I've said it. Usually in television, people use evasive language. Not me. We'll be gone. I want to be honest about why this is. We can't afford to finance it any longer. Before I go into details, let me say that by any fair measure, 'Ebert Presents at the Movies' has been a great success. The program has a coverage of more than 90 percent of the country, and all of the Top 50 markets. Our ratings place us among the top shows on public television, and compare to the ratings of cable news. And we have loyal and vocal followers."
Ebert said he and his wife Chaz have been financially backing the show almost entirely by themselves since it began in January while they worked to find other sponsors. However, they have had no luck securing partners.
"We can't afford to support the show any longer. That's what it comes down to," Ebert wrote on his blog. "Now American Public Television wants to know if they can tell their member stations we'll be back in 2012. We have to give them our answer this month. Unless we find underwriting, I'm afraid our answer will have to be 'no.'"
The syndicated show stars film critics Ignatiy Vishnevetsky and Christy Lemire. It is being produced in Chicago at WTTW, where Ebert and the late Gene Siskel began taping their "Sneak Previews" review show 35 years ago. Co-producer Ebert also serves as host of a special segment each week.
Ebert, a longtime columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and former co-host of "Siskel and Ebert at the Movies," has battled cancer for years and lost his ability to speak. A syndicated version of "At the Movies," featuring lesser-known critics, was recently canceled.

The crew from Australia Zoo are proud to announce the premiere of Steve Irwin's Wildlife Warriors a new series on Australia's Network Ten (Saturday, 7.30pm). This prime time wildlife show will follow Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin and our team of dedicated wildlife warriors as they continue Steve's fight for wildlife.
Be it a tiger tooth extraction, a koala who has been hit by a car, or tracking a crocodile in the wild, the family-orientated series will focus on the wildlife hospital and Rescue Unit of Australia Zoo. Episodes are filled with a myriad of weird, wonderful and downright bizarre things that occur in the day-to-day life of the Zoo. In addition to filming in and around the Zoo, viewers will also journey with the Irwins as they travel through the Australian Outback to visit wildlife sanctuaries in Weipa, Cape York, Far North Queensland and Tasmania.
The new series is also a first for young Robert Irwin, who is becoming more and more like his famous Dad. "This is an exciting new show giving Robert his first fair dinkum go on television. With exciting archive footage of Steve in every episode, you'll see how much Robert is a chip off the old block," said Terri Irwin.
You can catch up with the characters and follow the stories from the show www.australiazoo.com.au/steve-irwins-wildlife-warriors!

Many coal powered electric generating plants receive their coal via river barges. The barge pulls into a lock, and a large vertical conveyor with multiple rectangular buckets is lowered into the front of the barge to unload the coal. To remove the coal from the barge, the conveyor is lowered until it reaches the bottom of the barge. A cable attached to the front of the barge then pulls it forward while the vertical conveyor continues to transfer the coal to a horizontal conveyor system.
When the vertical conveyor reaches the end of the barge, it raises and moves sideways. Then the barge drifts back to its original position, and the process of removing the next row of coal starts again. The barge is completely emptied in four back-and-forth passes.
We were called into a plant having a problem with the cable system that pulled the barge forward and then allowed it to drift back to its starting point. Several hydraulic motors failed from the system overheating, some from what looked like cavitation damage and continuous seal leaks.
The hydraulic circuit for the cable drive is shown. It has a pressure-compensated pump with a safety relief valve to limit pressure spikes. Plant personnel found the safety relief setting was set too close to the pump's compensator, which created some of the heating problem. They adjusted the pressure setting to 150 psi higher than the pump, but the overheating problem continued. After technicians replaced the motor with a rebuilt one, flow from both pump and motor case drains was measured and found to be within their acceptable range.
This system had very little information in the service manual other than a bill of materials and the schematic. They had no idea how to set any of the adjustments other than what they were told about the safety relief setting.
Any idea what they should do next?
Robert J. Sheaf Jr., is founder and president of CFC Industrial Training, a Div. of CFC Solar, which provides technical training, consulting, and field services to any industry using fluid power technology. Visit www.cfc-solar.com for more information.
The overheating coal barge problem was caused simply from the lack of documentation and instructions on how to set the different pressures.
The pump compensator was set to provide enough force to pull the loaded barge through the un-loader system, and the safety relief was set properly at about 150 psi higher to protect the pump and system from excessive pressure spikes. These changes helped lower the heating problem.
When the feed-out valve was energized to allow the barge to drift down stream, the pulling cable hydraulic motor became a pump. The cable tension valve's pressure should be set low enough to allow the barge to drift downstream without allowing it to run away. It operated somewhat like a counterbalance valve would on a cylinder.
The drifting barge pulling on the cable caused the hydraulic motor to act as a pump. Pumps need a suction line, and providing a small supercharge of 100 to 200 psi will prevent cavitation to the pump-motor unit, extending its operating life. Another benefit is that noise is greatly reduced by having a charged suction line.
However, the supercharge flow control was set way above the amount of oil lost to leakage. The excess flow was relieving over the supercharge pressure control, generating unwanted heat. To add to this problem, the supercharge relief was set above 400 psi.
After lowering the supercharge relief to 100 psi, the supercharge flow control was set as low as possible, just above the oil leakage rate. Lowering the valve to 100 psi also caused the differential pressure across the cable tension valve to increase by 300 psi. An adjustment was made to lower its setting by this amount. The system now operates normally.
Solution to October's gold ladle tilting problem
The gold ladle system circuit that used the pilot operated directional valve with pilot chokes did not have any defective components. When our Jon Rhodes arrived to troubleshoot the problem, he noticed the pilot choke adjustment screws were adjusted to the fully extended position, (fully counter-clockwise). He told them the first thing they needed to do was open the pilot chokes by adjusting the screws fully clockwise. The clockwise adjustment actually opened the chokes. The illustration shows how the check controls speed in one direction and by-passes in the other. This is not an uncommon set-up and should be considered when troubleshooting systems.

Teeth Whitening Stockport
Having white teeth is very important for every individual. This is because the appearance of our teeth plays a major role on our level of self confidence. A person with white teeth generally has a higher self esteem compared to the person who has stained teeth.
There are different ways through which people get t whiten their teeth. However laser teeth whitening is by far the best way to get your teeth whitened. There are many reasons to have teeth whitening. It might be to look good in that wedding photo you are looking forward to or simply to enhance your appearance.
Whatever reason you have to have your teeth whitened, you need to choose the best method of teeth whitening. Today, there are several places where you can have laser teeth whitening procedures. However, there is no guarantee that all the places offering laser teeth whitening are the best at what they do.
This is why it is important to ensure you get the services of a teeth whitening expert. This is because with laser teeth whitening, you require someone who knows exactly what they are doing in order to ensure there is no tissue damage caused by prolonged focus of the laser on the teeth.

TPTB do seem to be recycling variations of some challenging tasks this season. The cave in episode 2, the counting the Buddhas (similar to a task in the Netherlands?) for episode three, and I'm wondering if they're headed back towards that famous leg 11 (Chicken Island) from season 1 now that CBS has confirmed a leg in Phuket. It does seem like they've pulled out a combo of "extreme" challenges for this season, doesn't it?
Are Bill and Cathi carrying hay? Or is that a cornfield?
In pic 37 is that one of the twins arms? So maybe this alliance could be between Kaylani and a twin.

Quote: This market is the back entrance to the Taman Sari water castle. It used to be a complex of Taman Sari. After the independence of Indonesia from Dutch colonialism, Taman Sari was abandoned. I don't know when it starts, but now Pasar Ngasem is a place where Jogjakartanese find birds as pets. It is the Javanese culture that makes Jogjakarta men like to have birds as pets.
At first glance, all the Buddha statues appear similar, but there is a subtle difference between them in the mudras or the position of the hands. There are five groups of mudra: North, East, South, West and Zenith, which represent the five cardinal compass points according to Mahayana. The first four balustrades have the first four mudras: North, East, South and West, of which the Buddha statues that face one compass direction have the corresponding mudra. Buddha statues at the fifth balustrades and inside the 72 stupas on the top platform have the same mudra: Zenith. Each mudra represents one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas; each has its own symbolism.

The Washington Capitals' 2011-12 season opener certainly wasn't pretty. They gained and relinquished two separate one-goal leads and the Carolina Hurricanes forced overtime with less than two minutes remaining.
But in the extra session the Capitals found an ally in the special teams unit that so often betrayed them a season ago. Mike Green scored unassisted on the power play 2:24 into overtime to seal a 4-3 win over the Hurricanes. It marked Washington's 10th consecutive win in a home opener and gave a raucous announced 18,506 — the 107th consecutive sellout at Verizon Center — a reason to go home happy.
Brooks Laich, Alexander Semin and Jason Chimera also scored to help Washington continue fighting back against their Southeast Divison rivals. Michal Neuvirth, after earning a surprise start in the opener, made 28 saves and had a strong performance despite seeing limited work at times.
Carolina captain Eric Staal led the visitors with a pair of goals.
Washington appeared to have the game wrapped up when Laich swatted in a rebound of Alex Ovechkin's point shot on a two-man advantage for a 3-2 lead with less than four minutes remaining in regulation. But Jussi Jokinen scored at 18:41 of the third period to tie the game.
Carolina, playing its second game in as many nights, wanted to slow the contest to a plodding pace and the Capitals didn't help their own cause at the start, squandering two early power-play chances and mustering only two shots on the man advantage.
But Washington began to dictate play in the second period. The Capitals took up residence in the offensive zone, holding the Hurricanes to one shot through the first six minutes. Eight minutes in, consecutive shifts by the fourth and first lines hemmed the Hurricanes in their zone so thoroughly that the crowd seemed to sense a goal on the horizon.
Despite the lopsided tone of the game, it was Carolina that struck first, 12:16 into the second period, while John Carlson was in the box for tripping. Staal didn't miss a wide-open net after a cross-ice pass from Jokinen forced Neuvirth to move from right to left. Also on the play, there appeared to be miscommunication between Mike Green and Roman Hamrlik, who wound up on the opposite sides of the ice from those they usually patrol.
Just over two minutes later, the Capitals responded as Carlson saw Semin find open space through the neutral zone and sent an outlet pass to the Russian winger, who scored on the breakaway with a pretty backhand shot to tie the score at 1. It was Semin's 43rd career point against the Hurricanes, more than he has scored against any other team.
Washington kept pressing. Jason Chimera sped down the wing after Karl Alzner swatted the puck out of the defensive zone and Joel Ward chipped it down the boards to his linemate, who shoveled the puck over Boucher's shoulder to make it 2-1 with 20 seconds remaining in the second.
In the midst of the crowd's celebration, though, Carlson was whistled for delay of game after accidentally knocking the puck over the glass when trying to smack it out of midair. The penalty proved costly.
When the third period began, it appeared as though Washington was caught off guard by the Carolina power play and less than 18 seconds in the score was tied again. Left open in the right faceoff circle, Staal scored his second goal of the game.
Neuvirth was a steadying presence early on, and it was difficult to place exclusive blame for any of the Hurricanes' on the 23-year-old netminder. Neuvirth was given the nod in the season opener over highly touted free-agent pickup Tomas Vokoun, who was caught off guard when he learned he wouldn't be in goal Saturday night.
Vokoun, 35, found out Friday that he wouldn't start against the Hurricanes.
"They just said Michal [Neuvirth] had a good camp and they want to have that recognized," said Vokoun, who is scheduled to start Monday against Tampa Bay.

Cinchona seeds were pirated from Bolivia and planted in India. Illustration of Cinchona Calisaya Wedd from Köhler's _Medizinal-Pflanzen in naturgetreuen Abbildungen mit kurz erläuterndem Texte_, 1887.
As recently as a decade ago, the legalities of obtaining samples of plants, microbes, and animals were straightforward. In many instances, a researcher could simply arrive at a field site, collect samples, and take them home. There was no applicable law. The researcher might obtain informal permission from a local community or landholder, as much for being on the land as for collecting. At most, the researcher might be required to obtain a permit to collect from national lands, like a fishing or hunting license.
"Take-and-run" describes the old approach to collecting, lately dubbed "biopiracy."
- The recorded history of international plant collecting missions goes back at least 3500 years when Egyptian rulers began bringing plants home after military expeditions.1
In the last century, the British Empire instituted regular plant collections. During the Voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin simply took what interested him, from the Galapagos and elsewhere, and brought it home.
The Royal Botanical Gardens took rubber trees from Brazil, and planted them in Southeast Asia. They took cinchona seeds from Bolivia, in violation of national law, and planted them in India.
Commodore Perry's naval mission to Japan collected a wide variety of plants to bring back to the United States.
More recently, the adventures of Richard Schultes during the mid-twentieth century have become a legend among ethnobotanists. He was able to befriend local shamans, who allowed him to collect thousands of voucher specimens of medicinal plants, hundreds of which had never previously been identified taxonomically.2
None of these famous collecting trips was challenged on legal grounds. If done today, how would they be challenged?
New rules for bioprospecting
The new rules for biodiversity prospecting and natural products research derive from three sources: international treaties, national laws, and professional self-regulation.
International treaties
The 1993 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) establishes sovereign national rights over biological resources and commits member countries to conserve them, develop them for sustainability, and share the benefits resulting from the use.3 Sustainable use of biological resources means finding new drugs, crops, and industrial products, while conserving the resources for future studies.
The basic bargain underlying passage of the CBD was that sovereign rights would be tempered by providing access to genetic resources, in exchange for a share of the benefits, including access to biotechnology. To satisfy the three goals of the CBD (conservation, development, and benefit sharing), the principle of sovereign rights is best applied through what have become known as Access and Benefit Sharing Agreements (ABAs).
Under the CBD, prior informed consent is the standard for ensuring a fair and equitable ABA. The source country providing access to genetic resources must know in advance what will be done with the resource, and what benefits will shared. Without such an understanding between the collector and the supplier, there could be no true meeting of the minds, and no fair agreement on benefit sharing. Benefits may include support for research and conservation, contributions of equipment and materials, assistance to indigenous and local communities, up front fees, milestone payments, and royalties.
National laws
Through national biodiversity-related laws and regulations, countries have begun to exercise their sovereign rights over biological resources as established in the CBD. In effect, many of these laws create a new category of poaching, in which biological materials are collected or exported without obtaining permission (informed consent) and satisfying certain conditions such as benefit sharing.
Professional self-regulation
Meanwhile, many institutions and professional organizations have decided to implement natural products research policies for their members, and these policies have quasi-legal or contractual status. Examples include botanical gardens (Kew, Missouri), biotechnology companies (Shaman, Monsanto), and professional groups (the Declaration of Belem of the International Society of Ethnobiology).
The consequences of breaking the new rules
There is a very simple reason for people who collect biological samples to follow the new rules on informed consent and benefit sharing. The consequences of following the old "take-and-run" approach — biopiracy — are extremely serious.
Cancelled patents on natural product inventions
Patents on natural product inventions are subject to attack unless all public knowledge about the species in question and its use are fully disclosed. Organizations in the bioresource-rich but economically poor countries of the developing world have demonstrated a willingness to attack natural product patents on the basis of traditional knowledge, motivated by principles of justice rather than the economic forces usually underlying patent disputes.
For example, a 1995 patent, "Use of Turmeric in Wound Healing," was cancelled in 1998 after an investigation instituted by India's Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. The new evidence established that use of turmeric to promote wound healing had been known for generations in India.
Likewise, the 1986 plant patent claimed an ostensibly new, distinct variety of Banisteriopsis caapi, known in the Amazon as ayahuasca. However, new evidence establishes that the claimed plant is actually the wild uncultivated type, and is neither new nor distinctive. COICA, an organization of indigenous people, and the Amazon Coalition have requested reexamination of the ayahuasca patent, seeking to eliminate what is perceived as an immoral expropriation of their traditional and biological heritage. More such challenges can be anticipated.
Where a plant sample is collected illegally and then a new drug compound or valuable gene is isolated from the sample, patented, and commercialized, the patent could be held unenforceable as the result of "tainted research." The tainted research doctrine is illustrated in the case Regents of the University of California v. Eli Lilly & Co. In developing cDNA encoding human insulin, some researchers violated National Institute of Health (NIH) 1970s regulations that embargoed the use of uncertified plasmids in mammalian recombinant DNA research. They then lied in their patent application, stating that they had used a certified plasmid. The lower court held the patent unenforceable for fraud, the illegitimate fruit of a forbidden tree. The appeals court reversed, holding that it would not have affected examination of the patent if the truth had been told. In other words, recalling the recent impeachment proceedings, the misrepresentation in the patent was not "material." This case teaches that if an invention is based on tainted research material, such as a plant sample smuggled out of a country in violation of its laws, and the inventor lies about it in a patent, a case of fraud might be made. However, the inventor must have gained some advantage by the misrepresentation, such as being the first to make the invention.
Loss of profits from illegal removal of biological material
If a researcher removes biological material illegally from a source country, and then profits from the material, the source country or affected person could recover all or some of the profits, in a United States court, based on a theory of misappropriation and related doctrines. Thus, there is a real legal risk for someone who fails to reach agreement on an Access and Benefit Sharing Agreement (ABA) before taking a sample home. The conditions a court might impose for a successful product could be much more onerous than one that could be negotiated at the outset, when success is still a highly unlikely outcome. This risk is highest in a country that requires an ABA.
Lack of clean title to biological material Clean title to biological material now means that it was obtained legitimately, and with prior informed consent from whoever had initial control over it. If there is no clean title, the value of the material is seriously reduced. The collector of an illegitimate sample will not be able to pass it on, in turn, to collaborators, partners, or third parties in the normal course of conduct for researchers. Absent assurances that the material was collected in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including benefit sharing, a savvy recipient of biological material will not accept material. Moreover, if the supplier certifies that a sample was properly obtained, and it was not, then the recipient could assert a contractual claim for damages back against the collector.
Denial of access to samples
As a practical matter, if a collector does not agree to provide an equitable share of benefits, in advance, to the source of biological samples, the collector may well be denied access to the samples. Simply put, the possibilities for fieldwork will dry up.
Blacklisting a biopirate
Someone who is branded as a "biopirate" will suffer from a bad reputation. Someone who gains a reputation for evading access restrictions, or for being hard to deal with, may find it increasingly difficult to find doors open for further research. A company that is associated with biopiracy may end up with weak patents, be exposed to equitable claims for profit-sharing, lose sources of supply, face the prospect of consumer and government boycotts, barriers to importation of biotechnology products, and other loss of market share, and may face financial penalties.
Legal penalties
Finally, the ultimate legal sanction — criminal penalties, including jail — may apply. It is not uncommon for hunters to be jailed for poaching or trespassing. In the biodiversity prospecting context, there is at least one instance of a researcher who was temporarily detained in Australia for unauthorized collecting of plant materials. Collection of biological materials without a benefit- sharing agreement is likely to find its way into the list of criminal violations in some countries, so that biopiracy could result in a jail sentence.
Legal tools are being developed whereby developing countries and other biodiversity rich countries may exert greater leverage over the use of their resources. This leverage can be used to earn revenues, promote conservation, and train and educate biochemists. However, the required legal tools — legislation, agreements, and court action — are sophisticated and difficult to employ. It has been far easier to engage in political, economical, technological, and ethical debates than to find legal frameworks for action.
Nonetheless, given the growing legal and practical risks, many organizations have concluded that it is wise to enter into an access and benefit-sharing agreement for every collection. Corporations have recognized that adherence to principles of sustainable development, including the use of ABAs for natural product research, brings significant benefits to the company. Why are companies following the new rules? By doing so, they can:
- improve the reliability and quality of the material supplied to them
- benefit from access to traditional knowledge about plants and insects
- establish good will which can pay off in present or future markets for the company's products
- distinguish themselves from less green competitors, thus obtaining a competitive advantage.
The true risk to natural product research is not that the greenhouse door will be shut, thus reducing supply, or that demand for natural products will cease. Rather, the risk is that supply will drop because species are disappearing faster than we can protect and study them. To quote E. O. Wilson, "useful products cannot be harvested from extinct species."4 The most fundamental risk to natural products research is continued loss of biodiversity. If the new rules for biodiversity prospecting succeed in reducing biodiversity loss, while allowing research to continue, then any inconvenience they bring will be justified. Hopefully, the new system will work, and we can find effective ways to work within it.

Study Highlights:
- Regular brisk walking after a stroke may improve physical fitness, mobility and quality of life.
- Walking with friends or family can help stroke survivors overcome a fear of falling.
"Walking is a great way to get active after a stroke," said Carron Gordon, Ph.D., lead author of the study and a lecturer in the physical therapy department at University of the West Indies in Jamaica. "It's familiar, inexpensive, and it's something people could very easily get into."
Researchers divided 128 adult stroke survivors into a group that performed brisk outdoor walking three times a week for three months and a group that had therapeutic massage and no supervised exercise.
Compared to the massage group, the walking group:
- Reported a 16.7 percent improvement in quality of life based on physical health.
- Walked 17.6 percent farther in a six-minute endurance test.
- Had a 1.5 percent lower resting heart rate (the massage group's resting heart rate was 6.7 percent higher).
After a stroke, many people lack energy and are afraid of falling while walking — withdrawing from meaningful activities like going to church, buying groceries and visiting friends and family, Gordon said.
Previous research has shown that improving physical activity without putting too much stress on your body can help achieve a higher quality of life after a stroke. But those studies evaluated treadmill walking and cycling.
The new study shows you can walk without exercise equipment at any convenient place in the community, Gordon said.
Study participants were from three Jamaican hospitals, had either an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke six to 24 months before the study and could walk independently with or without a cane. The average age of the 70 women and 58 men was 64.
Before and after the study, researchers interviewed participants and measured their fitness and quality of life. They also monitored heart rate and blood pressure before and after each walking session.
Walking group participants were supervised by instructors during their walk. Eventually, friends or family members could walk along instead, until the participants were comfortable walking alone, Gordon said.
Although most study participants were blacks living in Jamaica, similar results can be expected in any ethnic or cultural group, Gordon said. However, the results can't be extended to patients with more severe effects or those unable to walk independently.
"Walking can help control blood pressure, reduce lipid or fat levels and help with weight control — all cardiovascular risk factors," Gordon said. "So doctors should encourage it for patients who have had a stroke."
The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or some combination of both) for most people. For stroke survivors, the association recommends aerobic exercise three to seven days a week, for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on fitness level.

Finally figured out how to get a picture posted!!!
So here's my latest quilt.
Because of wrong choice of solid fabrics and batting it wasn't easy to get it done well.
But I think I managed to get it done.
I couldn't come up with a good title for it so it will probably go into history as "my brown one"

Not all memories fade with age
"Everybody thinks: 'Memory declines with age,'" says cognitive neuroscientist Nancy Dennis. "And it does, to some degree. But it isn't that simple. Some types of memory fade as we age, but others are very stable." Dennis, an assistant professor of psychology at Penn State, studies the aging brain. Using functional MRI, which offers a look at brain activity in real-time, she identifies changes that occur as people get older, then tries to match this neural evidence with cognitive behavior.

From an article that originally appeared in Asia and the Americas magazine in July, 1946, written and illustrated by William A. Smith:
"Steiger had promised to secure a projector and some films, but their arrival was maddeningly delayed. When a plane landed at the airstrip the first question asked was, "Did the projector come?" Toward the end of my month's stay, the movie equipment finally arrived. A joyous holiday atmosphere swept the camp. Threats of not being able to see the movie put children on their best behavior. I attended the first showing, but the picture was so bad that I couldn't endure more than the first ten minutes of it. I was outside the theater when the internees came out raving about what a superb picture it had been."
"The considerable delay in the evacuation of the camp was due partly to the troubled situation in that area. The Chineses Communists were very active in the vicinity, and kept the puppet general whose troops were holding the town of Weihsien in a state of extreme nervousness. The ten thousand Japanese troops in the vicinity were still armed, and the central government guerilla group was busy with its own operations. These four factions created a great deal of confusion, and there was heavy fighting every night. The Japs were trying to keep the railroad, which ran from Weihsien to Tsingtao, open, but the tracks and bridges were constantly being blown out of commission by explosive. We couldn't depend on trains getting through to the coast, and since this was the only means of transportation available, we were confronted with a very serious problem."
"In the interest of getting the prisoners out, an agreement to keep the railroad open for twelve days was finally secured from the warring factions. Since Tsingtao lacked accommodations to absorb all fifteen hundred prisoners, it was decided to take approximately a third of them in the first trainload. Hospital cases and people with homes or friends in the Tsingtao are were included in the first group. Bad weather, which made the roads to the railway impassable, caused another delay, but the first group finally reached Tsingtao safely. I went to Tsingtao a few days later and stayed a couple of weeks. On the thirteenth day after the agreement, the railroad had again been blown up in a number of places. At the time I left Tsingtao for Shanghai the remaining internees had not yet been able to get out of Weihsien."

Some really beautiful drawings, and a fascinating historical document.ReplyDelete
The picture of all the people at the tables is excellent. I wonder if he worked from life rather than a photo, and if so, how long he had them all sitting there. Actually, sitting for a talented artist must have been one of the more pleasurable things to do in that situation.
He worked from life almost always, unless he was working on an illustration. He did photo studio sessions with models for those for reference. I doubt any of his drawings from China were from photographs. It's possible that one or two of the illustrations for "Asia and the Americas" had photo reference.ReplyDelete

Season 7 episode 5. Usual great story but why does the Captain call the Submarine a ship? All Subs are always called boats. And why are the rooms so big? Space on Sub is at a premium and rooms (although the term room is unrealistic on a Sub) are tiny. Ooops I think I'm turning in to Monk. :)

season 8
Does anyone know when Monk season 8 is going to air in the UK? I think it will be on the hallmark channel as they always show the premiers, season 7 was by far the best season so far! I have managed to see one episode of monk season 8 which is Mr Monk and the UFO and I have to say it is the funniest episode I have ever seen, but want to see it on tv!
