Alice Waters comes to Denver for benefit, and top Front Range chefs cook
Alice Waters, queen of the locavores, the Berkeley chef and restaurateur who helped reinvent American cuisine through her restaurant Chez Panisse and her food activism, is coming to Denver to raise money for the Center for Women's Health Research, an arm of the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
A quartet of the Front Range's top chefs will cook for the Sept. 4 evening event at a private home in Cherry Hills Village. A sommelier will pair the chefs' dishes with wines. Alice will spend the dinner chatting with guests.
Unless you've got $750 to drop for 90 minutes of talk and eats, you won't be part of it. As of Tuesday afternoon, only five tickets remained of the 50 that were allocated.

Hawaii Experimental Tropical Forest selected as a candidate core site for the National Ecological ObservatoryUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Manoa
Boone Kauffman, (808) 933-8121
Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry
The Laupahoehoe unit of the new Hawaiʻi Experimental Tropical Forest has been selected by the National Ecological Observatory Network to be funded by the National Science Foundation as one of twenty Ecological Observatories to be established across the country. The documents leading to its selection were authored by a group of more than 80 researchers, educators and land managers and led by scientists from the U.S. Forest Service Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry and the Universities of Hawaiʻi at Manoa and Hilo.
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a 30-year long project designed to thoroughly describe and monitor natural landscapes — including the vegetation, animals, streams and climate across a wide range of ecosystems within the United States. The Laupahoehoe forest on Hawaiʻi island was the only tropical rain forest selected as an observatory.
"The Laupahoehoe unit of the HETF — consisting of 12-thousand acres on the windward slope of Mauna Kea — is an ideal location for a National Ecological Observatory," says Boone Kauffman, Director of the Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry. "It encompasses a remarkable diversity of forests, streams, and rare and endangered species that make it the perfect place to learn about Hawaiʻi ecosystems."
"Selection of the Laupahoehoe site is very important for the State of Hawaiʻi because it will allow us to find answers to some of our islands' most serious and pressing environmental issues," says Becky Ostertag, a UH Hilo science co-leader of the project. "These include climate change, biodiversity loss, invasive species and much more."
"The Ecological Observatory will greatly facilitate efforts in Hawaiʻi to conduct ecological research and monitoring that could help shape land management decisions and greatly improve educational opportunities for students of all ages," says Lawren Sack, NEON project co-leader from UH Manoa. "The project will link important new ecological research in Hawaiʻi with research at other sites across the U.S., enabling local researchers to contribute to the global effort to track, understand and ameliorate the impacts of global change on ecosystems."
"The NSF first proposed the NEON a number of years ago, and we are pleased that progress is being made," says Gary Ostrander, Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education at UH Manoa. "This will be a unique opportunity for partnerships among the University of Hawaiʻi, other universities and government agencies."
NEON will provide educational opportunities for students and community members to increase their environmental awareness and understanding as research results from Hawaiʻi forest observations become available.
The Pacific NEON coordinating committee is composed of scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry.

Once the power center of the world, the Eternal City shines and inspires anew if you take your time with it. (Just don't order cappuccino afternoon.)
Author Joe Keohane Photography Mark Read
DAY TWO | Having awakened to the sound of bells pealing throughout the city, you get dressed and come downstairs, past the larger-than-life lion carved into the elegant marble balustrade leading to the strikingly ornate sitting room of the Grand Hotel Plaza. After a cappuccino and chocolate croissant (when in Rome…), you head out and walk up the posh Via dei Condo i to the Spanish Steps (1). Once you hike to the top, hop on the subway and take it south to Circus Maximus.
From the subway, you wend your leisurely way to Aventine Hill (2), one of the seven hills on which Rome was founded. A er a 20-minute walk past handsome houses, churches and schools, you find the gate to Villa del Priorato (3), headquarters of the Knights of Malta. Peer through the keyhole, and you'll see St. Peter's Basilica perfectly framed at the end of a garden path. It looks like a miniature. On the way back, you stop at the piazza adjacent to Sant'Alessio all'Aventino church for a panorama.
For lunch, you walk west on Via dei Cerchi back to the Ghetto and stop in at Al Pompiere (4), marked by the crates of fresh artichokes outside. It's been open since 1928, which seems like a considerable run until you look to the right of the building at the Portico D'O avia, which has been standing since 143 B.C. You go for wine, artichokes, the house special, baked cannelloni—which comes out bubbling—and a dish of sliced pineapple.
Afterward, you walk toward the Pantheon, stopping at Sant'Eustachio Il Caff é (5) for a fine cup of espresso (cappuccino is strictly a morning drink) and some people watching. It costs a li le more to sit outside, which is why most Romans are seen taking their espresso standing up at the bar, but it's worth it. Then you walk a few steps to the Pantheon (6). It's an engineering marvel, a perfectly circular concrete dome that has lasted nearly 2,000 years. You walk in through the portico and find the sarcophagus of the artist Rafael. "Here lies Raphael," reads the Latin inscription, "by whom nature feared to be outdone while he lived, and when he died, feared that she herself would die."
For dinner, head back by the Largo di Torre Argentina to the boisterous brick-walled Renato e Luisa (7), known for its contemporary riffs on classic Roman cuisine. You settle in for a surprising and scrumptious appetizer of artichoke mousse with squash and rico a, followed by a terrific filet mignon in prune sauce. Then you stroll back up one of Rome's few straight boulevards, Via del Corso, toward the palatial, celebrity-favored Hotel de Russie (8) to turn in (but not before communing with the steam room).
Are you doing a story on fashion in Rome for the March edition?
How do I buy a copy if I live in Rome?
Another question – Do you ever need video/films shot in Rome as I am a Rome based film maker who knows Rome and other parts of Italy very well.? I also speak fluent Italian
Many thanks
Anya Camilleri

Francesco Frulio-Fiberflax Stool
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Francesco Frulio : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Francesco Frulio : My idea was to design a versatile piece of furniture made with a new bio-composite developed by me and based on flax , wool felt and a sustainable resin made of wood pulp and recycled oils. The concept was born from the objective of creating a new eco-friendly composite material that could replace fiberglass in the construction of furniture that could be produced with local, sustainable materials from the Sardinian craft tradition. In fact, nowadays it is important to understand the impact that any design has on our planet in terms of energy consuming and exploitation of resources. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Francesco Frulio : I wanted to prove that it was possible to create plastic-like shell shaped seat, but with natural and sustainable materials. I wanted to prove that changing is possible. I wanted to show the potential of this new material in terms of applications and shaping possibility. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Francesco Frulio : I would like to show it through different design exhibition as well as starting a small batch production of the stool itself. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Francesco Frulio : It took me a couple of years from the initial concept of creating a new composite material, through its development and eventually to project the stool. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Francesco Frulio : I wanted to follow an intuition and a challenge more than an inspiration. In my homeland, which is Sardinia, a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, there's no really an industrial production, and I wanted to show that it was possible to create innovative things, starting from local material of the the manufacturing tradition. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Francesco Frulio : At the beginnign I will probably start a small batch production, a limited edition series, but in the future I plan to lease the production rights to other company to produce different designs using this material. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Francesco Frulio : The need of showing to other and to myslef as well, the potential of the bio-composite that I developed. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Francesco Frulio : I am a lover of '50s classical design and I look at them all the time as a reference, but there was not any particular designer that inspired me in this design. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Francesco Frulio : Probably people that, like me, believe that there is an alternative to fiberglass and plastic furniture and that wants to drive the change. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Francesco Frulio : Probably the fact that is made with local and sustainable materials from Sardinia, and that mixes traditional material with state of the art production technology like the VARTM(Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) for its making. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Francesco Frulio : I wanted to give it a name that could immediately be recognizable by the users and that could give an hint of want it was made of. I also wanted to play with the word Fiber Glass, as this material borns as a sustainable alternative to it. So FiberFlax was eventually the name that I decided to give it. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Francesco Frulio : I used different tools. At the beginning I have made lots of research on books and scientific pubblication, so nothing really thrilling. Once that I completed the research I started doing the first sketches to figure out what I wanted to do. After I had a rough idea of the shape I started realizing paper prototype, which I find the fastest way to proof a concept. After several paper model, I eventually come up with a shape that I like and I started to work on the 3D using Rhinoceros. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Francesco Frulio : Probably the fact that, by using only sustainable mat.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Francesco Frulio on Fiberflax Stool at design-interviews.com ]

In the beginning, there were music apps, and it was good.
However, each app existed in its own little silo. If you were an amateur or pro musician with apps for playing instruments, recording, adding effects, writing songs, remixing, or making loops, you had to output the audio all the way to a computer or the cloud, then reimport it into other apps, assuming both of them had the appropriate import/export features — or use an actual, like, wire, and run it from one iOS device to another.
By December 2010, Sonoma Wireworks figured out how to add audio copy/paste to music apps on iOS. The team convinced many other developers to adopt the standard, so even at that early stage, 40 developers supported the audio copy/paste standard. Things were better, but you still couldn't send audio or audio commands from one app to another in real time.
In September 2011 came Virtual MIDI, which moved things along by letting apps send MIDI commands to each other. However, MIDI is not sound — it's an ancient data protocol from the early days of digital music production that describes when to play a note, how long to play it for, what note to play, and so on. MIDI is still great, and it's quite useful on and off iOS to this day, but again, it's not sound.
Things being the way they are — i.e. constantly evolving — someone then figured out how to take things to the next level: Audiobus, which Apple approved on Thursday morning, as Evolver.fm recently confirmed (updated), though it is not yet in iTunes. Audiobus consists of an app that users install on iOS, as well as an SDK for developers.
"Audiobus is analogous to audio cables," developer Michael Tyson told Evolver.fm in April when Audiobus was in alpha. "It lets you stream audio between two apps, on the same device… Users will be able to stream the output of audio apps straight into other apps, e.g. live-loopers or DAWs [digital audio workstations], playing along in sync with tracks."
Basically, one musician on a single iOS device will be able to, say, record a virtual cello played in one app using the multitrack recorder in another, daisychain effects together, and so on.
iOS Musician calls this "the next big thing" in iOS music production. Evolver.fm heartily concurs. If you'd like to be alerted when Audiobus goes live, sign up for the official newsletter or follow us on Twitter.
Update: Tyson tells us that the WiFi feature, which would allow multiple musicians to jam together over WiFi with any Audiobus-compliant app the way they already can with Apple Garageband, might not be part of the Audiobus app, at first anyway:
"We're not currently set on whether [Wifi is] going to be included in our initial release," wrote Tyson. "We want to make sure it's a really solid experience over WiFi, and at present, WiFi is problematic in environments with WiFi interference."

Great recipe! I made these for my St. Patrick's day meal today but I did alter it a bit appearance-wise. Instead of placing them on baking sheets, I put them in mini muffin cups and baked them according to the directions. I did not add the cheese in this recipe and I compensated with the less "material" by adding one less egg. After they came out of the oven, I pressed a tiny cheddar cheese cube in the center of each. I then placed them back in the oven and for about 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted. They look like tiny pots of gold! Only negatives are that they are a little messy to make but great as an appetizer. Note: in place of 1/2 cup minced fresh chives you can use 2 tablespoons dried chives.
Jan 21, 2012
These were good, but they weren't outstanding...I'm wondering if it's because I made them too big though. I only got about 2 dozen out of these, but mine were not as puffy as the photo shows. Mine turned out much more flat. They were good hot, but we tried eating the leftovers for lunch the next day and didn't really enjoy them at all. I'd try this again though.
Dec 28, 2011
Big hit with the men in my family, and I used a mild cheddar instead of sharp because that was what I had on hand. I am making them again tonight for another dinner party. Would definitely recommend to anyone as the recipe is super simple and you can make the mixture ahead of time, refrigerate it and then pop it in the oven 15 mins before you're ready to eat.
Dec 27, 2011
I would try this recipe again, as they came out beautifully, but next time I would cut out some of the salt as they were much too salty for my taste. I like the recipe, because you could easily substute and cheese or herbs you have on hand. I think this is a great way to use leftovers so you don't end up throwing away perfectly good fresh herbs.
Dec 8, 2011
These were good! I substituted 1/4 cup dried chives for the fresh ones and it worked out well. Save your arms and transfer the flour ball to a stand mixer and let that do the work of incorporating the eggs. This batter is stiffer than a standard pate a choux so piping it out would be difficult. Don't forget to sprinkle the salt on top before they go in the oven...it makes a difference!
Dec 3, 2011
We tried this recipe last night. It was great! Substituted italian seasoning for the fresh chives. Will make again, but will try with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk instead of 1 cup water. Definitely recommend.

Viral Video: Jim Cameron, Meet Your True Blue Geek Audience
Jim Cameron, famed Hollywood director, producer and writer, has agreed to an onstage interview at the eighth D: All Things Digital conference in June.
With the bazillion-dollar haul from "Avatar," the innovative filmmaker is getting a lot of kudos in the entertainment business. But the D8 audience is probably more interested in all the high-tech, mega-geek stuff about movies that Cameron (pictured here) will surely wax on about.
Still, let's hope none of them go as far as the dudes and dudettes in this video below, who manage to take total nerd much more seriously than you can imagine (and with a pitch-perfect tone that almost makes you think they are actually not kidding–which they might not be):

I am taking a break from the normal simulation topic this week to mention a significant current event – the passing of Dr. Randy Pausch. Dr. Pausch was a tenured professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has become widely known for not only his life's work, but also his recent activities.
What is significant is not the event of his death, but rather the celebration of his life. He was a very admirable person and he "retired" in a particularly admirable way. When diagnosed with an incurable and rather fast acting cancer, he chose to spend much of his final time sharing life lessons that he had learned and did so in a very upbeat and inspiring manner.
Among other things Dr. Pausch gave a very insightful, entertaining, and inspiring talk entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" in which he talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
I was personally very moved by this lecture; enough so that I am using this blog post to urge you to listen to it. It is just over an hour long and I encourage you to set aside the time to listen clear to the end, because even those last minutes are enlightening. This is not new – it was originally presented in September 2007 and has been viewed an estimated ten million times. If you haven't watched it yet, please do.
And don't watch alone… if you have a teen or college student in your life invite them to watch with you – I think you will both find this hour to be very well spent.
You can find it at Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.

Read our guide, The Art of Integration to learn how to piece together all customer data and interactions into a complete and useful view. Download the guide ›
All marketers face the challenge of truly understanding their customers — what they want, when they want it, and how. You need to know how individual customers interact with your brand — across channels — but data is often in silos, so piecing it together is nearly impossible. And even once you've compiled customer information, identifying actionable insights from multichannel data can be overwhelming.
Customer insights start with customer intelligence.
Batch and blast methods are no longer an option. Customers expect you to know who they are and what they're interested in. You need to know what content individual customers respond to, what channels they use, and how you can most effectively target them. And with the competition just a click away, you need to be able to act fast — even instantly.
All your campaign tools. All in one place.
Customers are coming at you from every angle and expect a consistent, cohesive experience. From in-store interactions to mobile apps and the web, you want to give them experiences that blend well together and are personalized — all in real time. And you need to be able to customize your email content and measure results.
Adobe can help. Adobe Campaign is a set of solutions that help you personalize and deliver campaigns across all your online and offline channels. You can plan, launch, test, and manage your cross-channel campaigns from one place. It also gives you marketing automation so you can respond to actions in real time and increase your campaign's effectiveness.
The more you know your audience, the better you connect.
You are gathering data, online and offline, but it's nearly impossible to stitch it all together. You have an audience, but your information is scattered and therefore incomplete. You need to be able to combine all your data in one place so you can identify your most valuable segments across every channel. And ideally, you would be able to understand and engage with customers on an individual basis.
Adobe can help. Adobe Audience Manager helps you build unique audience profiles that you can use anywhere — web, social, search, and mobile. It lets you combine first-, second-, and third-party data in one place so you can get a complete view of individual customers. It also helps you discover new segments for smarter personalization — making it possible to identify and target your most valuable segments on any platform.
Keep up with your customers. They're on the move.
Adobe can help. Adobe Analytics for mobile apps lets you keep all your analytics together. It helps you understand your mobile app users and connect their interactions back into your overall campaigns. You can also provide geolocation analytics and targeting based on GPS position and proximity to beacons.
A complete view of every customer. With a completely integrated solution.
Adobe Experience Cloud gives you all the tools you need to get the deepest insights into your customers, so you can build personalized campaigns and manage all your assets. With its 360-degree view of every customer, it can literally predict what your customers want, when they want it, and how. And because it's fully integrated, it makes all your data accessible so every interaction can benefit from all your insights.

NEW YORK — For the first time in his career, Hiroki Kuroda will start on three days' rest when he faces Detroit's Anibal Sanchez on Sunday afternoon in game two of the ALCS.
NEW YORK — For the first time in his career, Hiroki Kuroda will start on three days' rest when he faces Detroit's Anibal Sanchez on Sunday afternoon in game two of the ALCS.
For Kuroda, 37, it is his first season in New York after spending the last four with the Dodgers. This season, he set a career high in innings pitched (219 2/3) and games started (33).
In Japan, where Kuroda had pitched before coming to the majors, it's typical for starting pitchers to work just once every seven days.
"This is probably the shortest rest I have ever had in my baseball career, but at this point of the season, you know, we can't really be talking about anything but to win," Kuroda said Saturday through a translator.
Kuroda allowed two runs on five hits in 81/3 innings in his one ALDS start. The Yankees won the game in extra innings on Raul Ibanez's second home run of the game.
In 19 regular-season starts at Yankee Stadium, Kuroda was 11-6 with a 2.72 ERA. He's also excelled in day games, going 5-2 with a 1.99 ERA in eight such starts.
"I don't know what the secret is to my success in this ballpark, but my style of pitching is to be aggressive and just be aggressive all the time," said Kuroda. "I think that has pretty much determined the outcome of how I pitched here."
The Tigers have announced a rotation for the entirety of the series. Justin Verlander, the 2011 AL MVP, starts game three on Tuesday. He'll be followed by Max Scherzer in game four and Doug Fister in game five, if necessary. Sanchez and Verlander are set to start games six and seven, respectively.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Phil Hughes would start opposite Verlander in game three no matter the situation. The Yankees will use Sabathia against Scherzer in game four.
Sabathia could be used on three days rest in game seven, if necessary.
"(Sabathia has) worked really hard his last two starts, that's the bottom line," Girardi said. "We just felt that it's best to have him fresh for game four than risking, you know, him not being fresh game three. Someone is going to have to pitch game four anyway."
Girardi decided to carry an extra pitcher for the ALCS, so Cody Eppley will be available out of the bullpen against the Tigers.
Infielder Eduardo Nunez, who was 1-for-5 over three games in the ALDS against Baltimore, was removed from the roster. Eric Chavez, Brett Gardner, Jayson Nix and Chris Stewart remain on the bench.
Eppley, a 27-year-old right-hander, was 1-2 with a 3.33 ERA in 59 relief outings during the regular season.
"Knowing that with Kuroda going on short rest and maybe someone going on short rest later if we had to do that, it gives us an extra pitcher," Girardi said.
After sitting out game five of the ALDS, Alex Rodriguez returned to the lineup at third base, batting sixth.
"This is a guy we expect a lot from," Girardi said. "He had struggled in the first round, but this is a guy we know can do a lot of damage."
Rodriguez was 2-for-16, both singles, with nine strikeouts in the ALDS.

The name first appears in the work of Geminus about 100 years later. Fermat and Roberval constructed the tangent in 1634. Huygens and Wallis found, in 1658, that the area between the curve and its asymptote was 3πa2. From a given point there are either one or three tangents to the cissoid.
The Cissoid of Diocles is the roulette of the vertex of a parabola rolling on an equal parabola.
Newton gave a method of drawing the Cissoid of Diocles using two line segments of equal length at right angles. If they are moved so that one line always passes through a fixed point and the end of the other line segment slides along a straight line then the mid-point of the sliding line segment traces out a Cissoid of Diocles.
Diocles was a contemporary of Nicomedes. He studied the cissoid in his attempt to solve the problem of finding the length of the side of a cube having volume twice that of a given cube. He also studied the problem of Archimedes to cut a sphere by a plane in such a way that the volumes of the segments shall have a given ratio.
It is in commentaries on Archimedes' On the sphere and the cylinder that the cissoid appears and is attributed to Diocles.
The pedal curve of the cissoid, when the pedal point is on the axis beyond the asymptote, at distance from the cusp four times that of the asymptote, is a cardioid.
If the cusp of the cissoid is taken as the centre of inversion, the cissoid inverts to a parabola.
The caustic of the cissoid where the radiant point is taken as (8a, 0) is a cardioid.
If points P and Q are on the cissoid so that PQ subtends a right angle at O then the locus of intersection of the tangents at P and Q lies on the circle with diameter (a/2, 0), (2a, 0).

text: I have a 225 with an occasional trip of this code t099 when off for a while. This translates to econo pressure is less than 12# less than suction pressure. I have watched this pressure from the navigator and on a start-up it climbs slowly, so after a reset it will be fine. This is on circuit b the single stage compressor. So maybe there is a shrader under the transducer from the factory that is not open fully or what. This is not a brazed plate economizer it is the tank style. So here is my scenario- the exv doesn't close off 100% so the evap fills with liquid above liquid level setpoint, then when the chiller starts up the exv stays closed until level drops and due to it being closed the econo pressure will drop below suction pressure on a cold start up. But this backpressure valve from the oil separator with the 3/8 line does what for the system? I would think if this was open to the econo pressure line then this would cause the pressure to rise faster? Am I over thinking this or am I close? With this type of econo tank I can not see the valve operate through the sight glass because there isn't one. But when I use the test mode and I open then close the valve you can hear the refrigerant equalizing well after clicking from the valve closing occurs.

Google takes more than half of the market share of mobile ads, crowding out other media companies such as Facebook and Twitter.
In contrast, Facebook has only 13-percent and Twitter has about 2-percent, according to eMarketer.
However, it should be noted that both Facebook and Twitter's mobile ad numbers were nonexistent in 2011 and have consistently grown in the next two years.
U.S. & World
In 2011, Google had 38-percent of the mobile ad market.
Across all digital platforms, Google continues to reign as not only the largest beneficiary of digital ad spending in the US, but worldwide as well, eMarketer estimates.
Google's success is attributed to monetization on YouTube and growing mobile ads. Let's also add that Google has been doing this for a long time -- more than a decade is like a lifetime in the tech field -- so it has a leg up on the competition. It also has the power of a hugely popular search engine and a household name. It's likely the reason that Google has more than a third of all digital ads and its next competitor, Facebook, has only 5 percent.
Google has done well in the ad market, which is likely why its stock price is at $872 at the time this was written. However, it's unlikely that other companies will be able to emulate its success without a strong search engine and another five years in the business.

The Pick of the Day is a tastefully customized vintage convertible said to drive like a modern car
With Monterey Car Week around the corner, I can't help but daydream about the wonderful drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.
The four-door luxury convertible is pretty much an extinct configuration, gone by way of 1960s Lincoln Continentals, unless you count a couple of recent concept cars.
From the Tammy Allen collection and set to cross the block without reserve during the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas option is this 1940 Ford Deluxe custom sedan.
After World War II, some car dealers distributed their limited inventory on a lottery basis.
While "speedster" is most-often associated with "bathtub" Porsche 356 roadsters of the 1950s, the term goes back to the Brass Era days of stripped-down sports cars, from pricey Mercer Raceabouts to the facsimiles hand-built from abundant Model T Fords.

Every engineer and technician sooner or later faces the challenge of having to desolder a component. Sometimes the component can be a large transformer with 10 pins or a power chip with many connections, and desoldering tools are typically around the $1,000 mark and above.
Chip Quik is a solder-based alloy that stays molten for up to 30 seconds and makes desoldering any component very easy. The only drawback is that the cost of a 2´ length of Chip Quik is around $20. But a little experience can make this go a long way. Having some Chip Quik lying around in the workshop is reassuring for when that urgent job comes in.

For some reason...this song has been running through my head all day...
So, I thought I'd dig up some old school pics to go along with it...
We graduated in 1995 and didn't get along all that well with the group of girls in the class above us. We mostly fought over boys...stupid effing boys!!
Anyway, it was 1994...our junior year...and it was the Junior/Senior PowderPuff football game. It might've been the most anticipated PowderPuff game in LHS history because of the rivalry we had with the senior girls.
When the game started...we heard the senior's chant from their huddle..."One, Two, Three, Four...Juniors are whores!!!" Good one, right...point Seniors!
We played some football and tore up the scoreboard. Point Juniors!
When that wasn't satisfying enough...we dislodged some bitch's patella!
Aaaaaaaaand....the whores win the game!!!
The following photo is us Junior whores...in one of our training sessions!!
Ahhh...back in the day...

Do I need to move out of my home during the restoration process?
Depending on the extent of damage, your insurance representative can help you answer this question. Ultimately, however, this is a decision you must reach on your own. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
Do I need general contractors?
There are some aspects of the restoration process that may require the services of general contractors such as drywall/painting; electrical; plumbing; roofing; framing/finish carpentry; flooring/carpet; installation of doors, windows, cabinets, post-construction cleanup, etc. ServiceMaster Restore offers full reconstruction services.

A former White House appointee calls for technology collaboration between government, higher education and the community at large.
This century, we face a much larger challenge than bringing 100 gigabyte connectivity to college campuses. We have to figure out how to feed 9 billion people and decrease poverty.
Government, higher education and citizens must all come to the table and work together to solve this problem with the help of technology, said Chris Vein, chief innovation officer for global information and communications technology at the World Bank.
In a keynote at the 2014 Internet2 Global Summit in Denver on Monday, April 7, Vein said that the World Bank is shooting for two goals: Nearly end extreme poverty by 2030 and grow the income of the bottom 40 percent of the population in each country.
This problem calls for a drastic disruption of every major economic sector and piece of the supply chain in the world. But the conditions throughout the world's poorest regions makes this task tough. "How do you innovate when you don't have data plans, infrastructure, cell phones, academic research institutions?" asked Vein, former deputy chief technology officer at the U.S. Office of Science and Technology and CIO of San Francisco, whom Government Technology, sister organization to the Center for Digital Education, named to its list of Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers in 2010.
Current technology creation and adoption practices pose major challenges to innovation as well, Vein said. The government and citizens are disconnected, and it's difficult to bring in pieces of technology that address the problem in the best way.
"Procurement has always been the bane of my existence," Vein said. "The idea here is we get so caught up in our procurement rules that we never let the people who identify the problem talk with people who can solve the problem."
Three of his keys to solving this worldwide problem of hunger and poverty include bringing Internet connectivity to another billion citizens, transforming bureaucracy and innovating innovation itself. By bringing together public entities, private organizations, citizens, and the higher education research and development community, everyone can start building small solutions to solve these problems.
He suggested that governments needs to let go of control over data and open it up to the community so they could create panaceas for problems together. And they also need to highlight projects that are working well.
For example, the Sense-T project is bringing together the University of Tasmania, Australia; the Tasmanian Government, Australia's national science agency CSIRO, and IBM to work on an intelligent sensor network. Real-time data, apps and sensors work together to help business leaders make smart business decisions that will improve their production.
In Australia's fast-growing aquaculture industry, the project has already produced an app that saved one oyster farmer $150,000 a day, Vein said. By attaching sensors to oysters and analyzing the data that they generate, oyster farmers can understand how pollution is affecting the water, and ultimately the oysters. Then they can figure out what to do next to safeguard their oyster production.
While this project is still a relatively small collaboration, it's one of the most amazing sensor networks in the world, Vein said. And small is the best way to start.
Research and education networks are the key to helping solve problems with technology, and the World Bank wants the help of those who are involved with these networks, he said. Hackathons can act as a catalyst for government leaders to better understand what the problems are, disrupt the system, and ask the higher education community to help deal with the problems
"We can't solve the problems; we can only enable other people to solve the problems they face," Vein said. "Technology does that. Connectivity is absolutely important. But we have to teach people how to use it so they help themselves.
"And that's really what I ask you to do is to come together through Internet2 and help us do that," Vein continued. "Because if we don't, we're going to have to figure out in a crisis how to feed 9 billion people in a world where everyone is fighting each other, and that's not a world I want to live in, and I need your help in making sure that doesn't happen."

In 1990 the Australian ornithologist Ron Johnstone observed a Myzomela on the island of Rote in the Lesser Sundas in Indonesia. In 2009 the birds were observed again by Belgian birders Philippe Verbelen and Veerle Dossche who noticed that the songs they recorded were quite different from other Myzomela populations. The taxon has been described as Rote Myzomela Myzomela irianawidodoae. In the same year Philippe came across Myzomelas on Alor, that also turned out to have quite different vocalisations. These have now been described as Alor Myzomela Myzomela prawiradilagae. For now the recordings are stored on XC under Myzomela kuehni.

The spring-nocturnal-migrant-recording season in the northern hemisphere is upon us. Recordings are welcome of course. But let's try this: 1. please explain in the remarks how you arrived at an ID. For example point to literature, to a website, or to other recordings on XC. If you cannot: please upload it as a mystery! And 2. if you can, and are allowed to, perhaps you can try to record the spring chorus where you live as well. Maybe it sounds as nice as this one.
dear XC community, it now looks like all of us at some point will have to come to grips with the Corona virus and the challenges it poses. Stay safe everyone!
I've been off the grid for two weeks and just getting back today to civilization, I see that getting home might just be a little tricky.
well, of all people I am least worried about you Modd. Keep us posted.
Just cancelled eight weeks of birding in Indonesia ... sigh.
Well, in all the chaos: enjoy the fact that airplane traffic and airplane noise is down by a serious factor. Birding sites that are normally useless to recordists are now temporarily available to us!

It looks like the nocturnal migrant season is back again. Recordings are welcome of course. But let's try this: 1. please explain in the remarks how you arrived at an ID. 2. do go out there and record the spring chorus where you live as well and share it here. Keep recording!

News tagged with vancomycin
Vancomycin (INN) (pronounced /ˌvæŋkɵˈmaɪsɪn/) is a glycopeptide antibiotic used in the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It has traditionally been reserved as a drug of "last resort", used only after treatment with other antibiotics had failed, although the emergence of vancomycin-resistant organisms means that it is increasingly being displaced from this role by linezolid and daptomycin.

Sega today announced a new title, which will be available this summer on iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Sonic Jump Fever is the next installment in the Sonic Jump series, based on the version released for feature phones back in 2005 and later adapted for smartphones in 2012. Sonic Jump Fever takes the series on a slightly different path with a focus on high scores and competing against friends while on the move.
If you're not familiar with Sonic Jump, the goal is to compete for high scores in a speedy vertical jumping challenge. Players can take control of Sonic, Knuckles and other favorite characters from Sonic's previous adventures. Pull off huge combos, deploy boosters, upgrades and unique character abilities to become the best of the best.
Scores are reset twice a week with playable levels moving up to the next zone for everyone. This keeps the competition fierce for those involved, while providing others a chance to get their names at the top of the leaderboards. It certainly sounds exciting and the trailer looks pretty neat too. We'll let you all know when the game is eventually released.

My colleague and genealogy friend Ken Aitken died yesterday .. the Queen's birthday .. not unexpectedly. He was 59. It was less than a year ago he was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) although not all the doctors agreed, nor how far it might have progressed even then. Ken leaves a legacy in the genealogy world as an active, dedicated librarian and an educator who continually encouraged and challenged genealogists and family historians to "sharpen your saw." He had a powerful mind and passionate ideas. We didn't always see eye to eye, but we always had much to talk about. The National Institute for Genealogical Studies certainly benefited from his great interest in creating discussion groups to study articles from scholarly journals in our field. Most of us last saw him at the OGS Seminar in May 2006. While his health was failing then, he was up to form in lectures and conversation, bubbling with his love of family history. Ken will be missed in many circles, not just in Regina where he worked and his home of Penticton, but also among the international genealogy community he enjoyed so much.
It's a sad thing when familiar personalities are no more. Somehow we expect the leaders to be ageless. Some day I will write about another colleague who was a dear, treasured friend, Ryan Taylor.

I'm just finding this post, being new to the genealogical blogosphere. I was a student of the National Institute for Genealogical Studies at the time Ken was teaching for them. We spoke on the phone on a couple of occasions, as I was taking the Skills and Mentoring courses. He was always helpful, always kind. He too the word "Mentoring" seriously. I enjoyed his website, and it was all gone too soon.
He is missed here in Florida.

Now identify the lobes of the liver:
Functionally and surgically, the quadrate and caudate lobes are considered to be part of the left lobe. Anatomically, they are part of the right lobe, as defined by the attachment of the falciform ligament on the diaphragmatic surface of the liver (Figure 38.4A).

Maisie Elizabeth asked about
For foreign films should we use the title of the film in the original language in in-text referencing, or the translation, or both?
1 answer
38622 views
Hi Maisie,
I would think that using the original foreign film title is acceptable in most cases. People will have no trouble with 'Ma Vivre Ca Vie' or 'La Dolce Vita' for instance... however if your original title is in Chinese in may behoove you to use a Anglicised title like 'Ju Dou' instead of the original Chinese characters. If the movie you are using is in our catalogue I'd use the title as listed in the catalogue. I don't think you'll need to mention a translator in this case as the movie is still being seen in its original form and has not been adapted. The fact that it may have a translated subtitle track is probably not relevant to your referencing of the movie.
Hope this helps!

Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper on Bernie Sanders and calls to drop out
Bernie Sanders is facing calls to exit the Democratic primary for president, but Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said such pressure is unwarranted.
Hickenlooper, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter, said Sanders has "touched a nerve" this election year.
"I think that earns him the right to go all the way to the end if he wants," Hickenlooper said in an interview late last week. "I think he's earned the right to define his entire campaign."
The governor called the race "a battle royale." Watch his full comments on Sanders in the video.
