The gusher unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico continues to spew crude oil. There are no reliable estimates of how much oil is pouring into the gulf. But it comes to many millions of gallons since the catastrophic blowout. Eleven men were killed in the explosions that sank one of the most sophisticated drilling rigs in the world, the "Deepwater Horizon."
This week Congress continues its investigation, but Capitol Hill has not heard from the man "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley met: Mike Williams, one of the last crewmembers to escape the inferno.

He says the destruction of the Deepwater Horizon had been building for weeks in a series of mishaps. The night of the disaster, he was in his workshop when he heard the rig's engines suddenly run wild. That was the moment that explosive gas was shooting across the decks, being sucked into the engines that powered the rig's generators.
"I hear the engines revving. The lights are glowing. I'm hearing the alarms. I mean, they're at a constant state now. It's just, 'Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.' It doesn't stop. But even that's starting to get drowned out by the sound of the engine increasing in speed. And my lights get so incredibly bright that they physically explode. I'm pushing my way back from the desk when my computer monitor exploded," Williams told Pelley.
The rig was destroyed on the night of April 20. Ironically, the end was coming only months after the rig's greatest achievement.
Mike Williams was the chief electronics technician in charge of the rig's computers and electrical systems. And seven months before, he had helped the crew drill the deepest oil well in history, 35,000 feet.
"It was special. There's no way around it. Everyone was talking about it. The congratulations that were flowing around, it made you feel proud to work there," he remembered.
Williams worked for the owner, Transocean, the largest offshore drilling company. Like its sister rigs, the Deepwater Horizon cost $350 million, rose 378 feet from bottom to top. Both advanced and safe, none of her 126 crew had been seriously injured in seven years.
The safety record was remarkable, because offshore drilling today pushes technology with challenges matched only by the space program.
Deepwater Horizon was in 5,000 feet of water and would drill another 13,000 feet, a total of three miles. The oil and gas down there are under enormous pressure. And the key to keeping that pressure under control is this fluid that drillers call "mud."
"Mud" is a manmade drilling fluid that's pumped down the well and back up the sides in continuous circulation. The sheer weight of this fluid keeps the oil and gas down and the well under control.
The tension in every drilling operation is between doing things safely and doing them fast; time is money and this job was costing BP a million dollars a day. But Williams says there was trouble from the start - getting to the oil was taking too long.
Williams said they were told it would take 21 days; according to him, it actually took six weeks.
With the schedule slipping, Williams says a BP manager ordered a faster pace.
"And he requested to the driller, 'Hey, let's bump it up. Let's bump it up.' And what he was talking about there is he's bumping up the rate of penetration. How fast the drill bit is going down," Williams said.
Williams says going faster caused the bottom of the well to split open, swallowing tools and that drilling fluid called "mud."
"We actually got stuck. And we got stuck so bad we had to send tools down into the drill pipe and sever the pipe," Williams explained.
That well was abandoned and Deepwater Horizon had to drill a new route to the oil. It cost BP more than two weeks and millions of dollars.
"We were informed of this during one of the safety meetings, that somewhere in the neighborhood of $25 million was lost in bottom hole assembly and 'mud.' And you always kind of knew that in the back of your mind when they start throwing these big numbers around that there was gonna be a push coming, you know? A push to pick up production and pick up the pace," Williams said.
Asked if there was pressure on the crew after this happened, Williams told Pelley, "There's always pressure, but yes, the pressure was increased."
But the trouble was just beginning: when drilling resumed, Williams says there was an accident on the rig that has not been reported before. He says, four weeks before the explosion, the rig's most vital piece of safety equipment was damaged.

One of the first things to note – and one of the kindest things to say – about the first studio output from The Hives since 2007's misguided Black and White Album is that it's at the very least a guitar album. In a recent interview with Drowned In Sound, the band boldly referred to themselves as being 'one of an extremely small number of bands playing rock and roll', but this assessment doesn't really sit in line with their last record: a sprawling, neutered and often flatly embarrassing affair; a far cry from their early-career intensity. To be fair, the same interview acknowledges this, the band claiming that the Black And White Album was an attempt to be as little like the Hives as possible (pretty high marks on that front, I suppose), while Lex Hives was an attempt to be as much like the Hives as possible.
And indeed, a lot of this record plays like a sincere attempt to go back to the band's garage-band roots, and even offers up some songs which could reasonably be described as something of a return to form. The best moments are those which are most recognisably Hives-esque: choppy guitar chords, mad-fast tempos and Pelle's instant refrains barely contained into a two minute blast of – as the band say – rock and roll. Tracks like '1000 Answers' zip and rattle as effectively as The Hives ever have, while the opening section of 'Patrolling Days' is the closest to sounding like the band perpetually on the brink of coming apart at the seams of almost (gasp!) 15 years ago. That is, before they started blunting their edge on a major label - peeling back the buzz-saw guitars, dialling back the breakneck tempos, and foolishly revealing the unsubstantiated cores of their by-the-numbers output.
Even the worst tracks on here (and the raft of middling ones) gain some strength from the fact that they at least sound like the product of a rock band, as opposed to some of the dance-hybrid misfires produced by the likes of Pharell Williams on the last LP. While it's theoretically admirable to see a band push themselves out of comfort zones, those digressions played to The Hives' weaknesses rather than their strengths. By contrast, to hear the stomp of a song like 'I Want More', even though it's nothing we haven't heard before from The Hives (let alone rock music at large), it still offers more spunk than the quasi-experimental ramblings which have poisoned each output since the turn of the millennium, none more so than The Black And White Album.
The Hives began their existence as a rock band – an invigoratingly blazing rock band at that, who successfully transcended their weaknesses for simplicity, repetition and regression through sheer intensity. Recent albums have seen the band lose this reputation somewhat, as they pander to more mainstream audiences who value a slinky groove over a ruined snare drum; their last record even calling into question their very status as a rock band. Ultimately, Lex Hives sadly conforms to the patchy-at-best trajectory of the band's major label releases, but at least does so while taking a decisive step back in the direction of being the ferocious rock band which The Hives unvaryingly claim to still be, and indeed unquestionably once were.

Back in 1983, a Los Angeles couple and their close friends saw the need for a place where parents can bring their kids for a different kind of experience. A place where, instead of pinball machines and video games, they would be introduced to a world of fun – and fitness. Thirty years later, My Gym Children's Fitness Centers are community cornerstones throughout North America and the world – and the millions of children who were early members are now parents with kids of their own discovering just how cool being active and healthy can be.
Featuring, a unique, innovative and ever-changing fitness program for kids, My Gym has been at the forefront of providing the best fun place for kids to remain active, while successfully combating statistics that estimate nearly 16% of children and adolescents aged 2-12 years are overweight – and even more are at risk of becoming overweight.
At My Gym, children keep fit, and families grow closer through introductory sports and gymnastics, games, original music and specially-crafted play and socialization activities led by caring and committed My Gym trainers. The result is good health, laughter and learning, and a lifelong love of fitness and activity.
Throughout 2013, My Gym locations across North America will celebrate thirty years of providing fitness and fun to families by offering money saving discounts on classes, conducting a search to crown My Gym's Fit & Healthy Family, encouraging families committed to an active lifestyle to "show off' and share their own fitness and health tips with the world and, in August, participating My Gym locations will be throwing themselves 30th Birthday Party Open House celebrations inviting all families to attend for free!
"This is an exciting year for My Gym, as we celebrate turning thirty years young. Thirty years have taught us how vital an active lifestyle truly is, and that there is no substitute for the rewards of keeping fit as a family. We look forward to expanding our message of fun and fitness to families throughout the world all year long, to sharing their great ideas on how to be healthy and active. Through our money saving offers and Birthday Party Open House Celebration, our goal is to introduce the magic of My Gym to new family members," said Cory Bertisch, CEO of My Gym Children's Fitness Center.

The dream of flight was fueled by man's observation of the birds, and is illustrated in myths across the world (e.g. Daedalus and Icarus in Greek mythology, or the Pushpaka Vimana of the Ramayana). The first attempts to fly also often drew on the idea of imitating birds, as in Daedalus' building his wings out of feathers and wax. Leonardo da Vinci's design was limited since it relied on pedal power. Attempts to build wings of various materials and jump off high towers continued well until the seventeenth century. ( aviation history-ack:wikipedia). In the wake of Industrial revolution it was inevitable the application of machines became as important as man's imagination.
The dynamics of this alliance between man and machine would change. The fanciful world of alchemists would give way to hard-nosed scientists,- and science and not humanities became the hi-octane fuel driving progress. It also forged a link with Technology as the benchmark for human progress. The effect of art and humanities on human mind I guess was not so much visible as of technology for the world to go some direction. This partnership between Science and technology if logically taken to its conclusion robotic age on one hand must happen. On the other man would think of conquering outer space, provided man is able to master the right technology. How can this ever happen without that elusive quantity in the equation- man? By this I mean every facet of his mind, his imaginative faculties and practicality included.
To sum man cannot do away with any of his experience. His imagination like the wax wings of Icarus may fail since his grounding in science was not sound. Man's fancies may be under no discipline to conform to certain discipline but there shall always be a point where art has to take a degree in a manner of speaking. It may lead to pure research.
Since technology has shrunk the world into a global village we may hear some grumbling at the pure research. But without it or art, technology shall only be a creation of some Frankenstein. The versatility of new-generation Mobile phones is a spin off of exploration of the space.
Progress of man is a co-operative effort.
Man in trying to express himself does so after his fashion: from nature- a pushpak vimana; or a composite type- wings made of wax in imitation of birds' wings. He adds something of his own invention to what is already existing. No wonder, inventive mind of man shall not rest with a single success. If he would learn to be airborne he would put it to refine to such degree that shall keep with his ever changing requirements. Hot air balloons shall be replaced with gliding, biplanes and so on.
In course of time we find airplanes are not merely for flying but for military purposes. Planes that could destroy towns, cities thoroughly are natural extensions of man's striving for excellence. In short man who raises himself ever a notch higher into higher realms finds a drag that makes his angel, a monster. Science bears the stamp of man's excellence, his curiosity while Technology recognizes only economics. Can there be evil in the very perfection that we strive for?
Devil is in the details, sir. In the very essence of Good resides resident Evil like the serpent in the Garden of Eden. This is inevitable: since every progress of man is necessarily a cooperative effort. How experience of each draws from the Collective experience shall connect, we may expect Dr. Faustus who only thinks acquiring knowledge shall connect with Mephisto who would want his soul in return.
Fancy free and footloose man sets out but before long tollbooths would overtake him and may even stop him for toll.
Ack:Aussie student finds the Missing Mass-AFP May 27 I am giving an excerpt:
Monash astrophysicist Dr Kevin Pimbblet explained that scientists had previously detected matter that was present in the early history of the universe but that could not now be located.
"There is missing mass, ordinary mass not dark mass … It's missing to the present day," Pimbblet told AFP.
"We don't know where it went. Now we do know where it went because that's what Amelia found."
Pimbblet said astrophysicists had known about the "missing" mass for the past two decades, but the technology needed to pinpoint its location had only become available in recent years.
He said the discovery could drive the construction of new telescopes designed to specifically study the mass.
Pimbblet admitted the discovery was primarily academic, but he said previous physics research had led to the development of diverse other technologies.
"Whenever I speak to people who have influence, politicians and so on, they sometimes ask me 'Why should I invest in physics pure research?'. And I sometimes say to them: 'Do you use a mobile phone? Some of that technology came about by black hole research'.
"The pure research has knock-on effects to the whole society which are sometimes difficult to anticipate."

Pratt & Whitney Power to Read Volunteer Tutors Honored at Special Breakfast
Faculty, staff and administrators gathered on the morning of May 9 to offer their appreciation, as well as an enticing spread of fruits, pastries and other goodies, and to read a humorous, yet heartfelt, "Ode to Our Tutors" to the volunteers. Twenty-seven of the 30 tutors are volunteers from Pratt & Whitney, and they visit their student at the school each week for one hour throughout the course of the full school year.
Tutors play an important role in helping students realize their potential and achieve their educational goals. Even if a child is too young to understand the future impact, building early literacy and language skills provides positive, lasting results throughout life. At the Joseph O. Goodwin Elementary School in East Hartford, a recent Tutor Appreciation Breakfast was held to thank and recognize the 30 volunteer tutors of the Pratt & Whitney-sponsored Power to Read program.
Deborah Zipkin, director of the Family Resource Center in West Hartford, was on hand for the festivities due to her Bridge Family Center affiliation. She explained, "Power to Read is a program of the Bridge Family Center, it falls under their umbrella ... Pratt & Whitney has been doing this [Power to Read] at least 10 years - it's amazing. Bridge is the fiscal agent, the money that is supporting this program comes from Pratt, goes to the Bridge, and the Bridge administers this program."
Approximately 45 children in the school are in the program, and many of the Pratt & Whitney volunteer tutors who attended the breakfast admitted having a strong bond with their young pupils. The children, too, are "very attached" to their "special person," said Ann Green.
Green, along with Carol Pendray, are assistant directors of the Power to Read program, and Patricia Champlin is the director.
"They're very attached to their tutors, and it's a good thing we've got good constitutions, because when a tutor can't make it, and we fill in, they're disappointed. They'd rather see their tutor," explained Champlin.
"It's certainly added a new dimension to the learning experience, having a one-on-one experience like that, feeling safe and asking questions that they might not otherwise feel comfortable asking in front of the class," said literacy coach Bobbie McKinney.
"It's safe, and it's nurturing, and I know the kids look forward to it a lot. It's probably as much of a mentoring program in a way than it is a tutoring program - because of the bonds," said McKinney.
From the generous monetary support to the caring mentor-like relationships, Zipkin remarked, "Pratt is enormously instrumental in supporting the program."

Johnson City, Tenn. -- East Tennessee State sophomore Raymond McBride went 3-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored to lead the Bucs in a 10-6 win against Western Carolina at ETSU's Cardinal Park.
The Bucs' Reid Casey (4-4) earned the win by throwing his third consecutive complete game, allowing six runs on eight hits. Western Carolina's Aaron Kirby (2-6) suffered the loss after allowing seven runs in 2.0 innings. Second baseman Danny Pugh went 3-5 with three runs scored for ETSU.
The Bucs (11-22, 8-11 Southern Conference) began the game with a bang, scoring four in the bottom of the first. Jeremy Terry led off the game with a single and scored on a Pugh double. Ed Sparks followed with a towering home run to left field. After two strikeouts, McBride belted his first home run of the season, over the left-field wall.
Western Carolina (11-27, 7-15 Southern Conference) answered in the top of the second on a three-run shot by Alan Beck that cut the lead to 4-3. ETSU starter Casey helped his cause by singling in his first at-bat of the season and later scoring on a Terry groundout. The Bucs increased their lead to 8-3 in the third. Chad Boruff reached on an error and scored on a Nathan Copeland double. McBride followed with a run-scoring single and later scored on a triple to center field by Chuck Dewald.
ETSU scored two in the fourth to take a 10-3 lead. Pugh and Copeland scored on a single by McBride. In the top of the fifth, WCU's Robert Rudder was hit by Casey and then scored on Rod Goldston's double. The Catamounts scored one in the sixth and one in the seventh to close the score to 10-6. In the seventh, Rudder led off the inning with a walk and later scored on a double-play ground out.
In the bottom of the eighth the Bucs loaded the bases with one out on a single by Pugh and two walks, earned by Sparks and Boruff. Chris Mayes singled in Pugh and Sparks scored on a fielder's choice off McBride's bat that closed the scoring.
ETSU and Western Carolina will play the second game of their three-game series tomorrow at 3 p.m.

This is one of the best-known works by the sculptor Eduardo Chillida. The sculpture, known as the "Peine del Viento" or "Wind Comb", is formed by pinkish granite terraces and three pieces of steel anchored to the rocks. It is one of the most frequently visited spots in the area, and a magical space from which the sea can be seen in all its splendour. This is particularly so on stormy days when the waves crash with all their might against the cliffs.

Featuring slinky new styling and a condensed engine line, the 2014 Kia Forte sedan debuted Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It arrives on the market early next year as the third-generation version of Kia's compact entry.
The engine lineup slims to two four-cylinder units: a 1.8-liter rated at 148 hp and 131 lb-ft of torque and a 2.0-liter making 173 hp and 154 lb-ft. Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions will be available.
The design is highlighted by sculpted flanks, curves and a prominent fender lines. The Forte will come in two trims: LX and EX. The Forte sedan is longer, lower and wider than its predecessor.
The Forte was upgraded to take on redesigned entries from Honda, Toyota, Ford, Dodge, Chevy and others.
"There's a lot of formidable competition," said Tom Loveless, Kia executive vice president of sales.
Kia also revealed the 2014 Sorento, which is fortified with the addition of a 3.3-liter V6 making 290 hp. An SX limited trim is also added. The crossover arrives in early 2013. It's the first to get Kia's next-gen UVO connectivity feature.
Meanwhile, Loveless also reiterated Kia is hard at work to rectify its part in overstating fuel economy ratings, something Hyundai's U.S. chief, John Krafcik, faced scrutiny for earlier Wednesday at the Los Angeles show.
"I think most customers are very appreciative of how transparent we've been," Loveless said. "We're doing the right thing by the customers."
The 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show takes place Nov. 28 through Dec. 9. In keeping with the Southern California lifestyle, the LA auto show is usually a showcase for green cars, hybrid vehicles and electric transportation. But sports cars – especially convertibles – also command the spotlight. Check out Autoweek's complete coverage of the Los Angeles Auto Show here.

Of Late, Twitter has been a target of lot of spam messages, but the most recent ones are pretty dangerous phishing attacks and can allow a spammer to access your Twitter username and password. Most recently Twitter phishing attacks have spread through DM messages like "You Seen What This Person is Saying About You Terrible Things" and "Somebody is Saying Real Bad Rumors About You".
The new phishing attack is spreading on Twitter through messages like:
Hey this user is posting very bad rumors about you…
Hi someone is posting horrible rumors about you…
The messages above are accompanied with a link which takes you to a phishing website that looks very similar to Twitter. The websites' URL is also made to look very similar to that of Twitter.
Once you are on the website, you will be asked to sign in to your Twitter account because your session has timed out. If you enter your username and password into the phishing page, the scammers will redirect you to Twitter and ask permission to install an app which will then send out the rogue message as a direct message to all your followers and continue spreading the phishing attack.
Please DO NOT enter you username and password since the scammers will then gain access to your account username and password. If you already have done so, make sure to change your Twitter password IMMEDIATELY. Also follow our guide to remove apps from Twitter to revoke permissions to the rogue app that you granted access to.
Please do share this page with your Twitter friends so that they are aware of this phishing attack.

If $x,y,z$ are real and $x^2+y^2+z^2=9$, how can we prove that $2(x+y+z)-xyz\leq 10$?
Please provide a solution without the use of calculus. I know the solution in that way.
Case 1: At least one of $x,y,z < 0$. Let's say $z < 0$. If we let $f(x,y,z) = 2(x+y+z) - xyz$, it's then clear that $f(x,y,z) \leq f(t,t,z)$, where $t = \sqrt{\frac{x^2+y^2}{2}}$. It then suffices to check $f(t,t,z) \leq 10$. Let $z = -u$, so that $u$ is positive. Then we need to show $$f(t,t,-u) = 2(2t - u) + t^2 u \leq 10$$ on the condition $2t^2 + u^2 = 9$. We can try to express everything in terms of $u$: $$ 2(2t - u) + t^2 u \leq 10 \\ \Leftrightarrow 4(2t - u) + (9 - u^2)u \leq 20 \\ \Leftrightarrow u^3 - 5u + 20 \ge 8t = 8 \sqrt{\frac{9 - u^2}{2}} \\ \Leftrightarrow (u^3 - 5u + 20)^2 - 32 (9-u^2) \ge 0 \\ \Leftrightarrow (u-1)^2(u^4 + 2u^3 - 7u^2 + 24u + 112) \ge 0$$
The last inequality is clearly true, since $u^4 + 49 \ge 14u^2 > 7u^2$. So this case holds, with equality $z = -u = -1$, $x = y = t = 2$.
Case 2: $x,y,z \ge 0$. WLOG assume $x \ge y \ge z$.
Case 2a: $x^2 \leq \frac{9 + \sqrt{65}}{2}$. ($x$ is "small")
We check that $f(x,y,z) \leq f(x, \sqrt{y^2+z^2}, 0)$. $$2(x+y+z) - xyz \leq 2(x+\sqrt{y^2+z^2}) \\ \Leftrightarrow 2(y+z - \sqrt{y^2+z^2}) \leq xyz \\ \Leftrightarrow \frac{4}{y+z+\sqrt{y^2+z^2}} \leq x \\ \Leftrightarrow 4 \leq x(y+z+\sqrt{y^2+z^2} $$ The last inequality follows from $$x(y+z+\sqrt{y^2+z^2}) \ge 2x\sqrt{y^2+z^2} = 2 x \sqrt{9-x^2} \ge 4$$ and the condition on $x$.
Thus we may assume $z = 0$. Then $f(x,y,z) = 2(x+y) \leq 2\sqrt{2(x^2+y^2)} = 2\sqrt{18} < 10$.
Case 2b: $x^2 \ge \frac{9 + \sqrt{65}}{2}$. ($x$ is "large")
We get a trivial bound on $y+z$ by Cauchy-Schwarz: $$y + z \leq \sqrt{2(y^2+z^2)} = \sqrt{2(9-x^2)} \leq \sqrt{9 - \sqrt{65}} < 1$$ Then $$f(x,y,z) = 2(x+y+z) - xyz < 2(x+y+z) \leq 2 (3+1) < 10.$$
All in all, it's possible to do this without calculus, although I can't understand why one would not use a tool like Lagrange multiplier that is especially well suited for this situation. It's exactly the power of those tools that render brute-force solutions like this one unnecessary.
without loss of generality we can assume that $|x|\le |y|\le |z|$,and Note that $3z^2\ge x^2+y^2+z^2$, which implies that $z^2\ge 3$
we have \begin{align} [2(x+y+z)-xyz]^2&=[2(x+y)+z(2-xy)]^2\\ &\le [(x+y)^2+z^2][4+(2-xy)^2]\\ &=(9+2xy)(8-4xy+(xy)^2))\\ &=2(xy)^3+(xy)^2-20(xy)+72\\ &=(xy+2)^2(2xy-7)+100 \end{align} from $z^2\ge 3$ it follows that $2xy\le x^2+y^2=9-z^2\le 6$,then $$[2(x+y+z)-xyz]^2\le 100$$ or equivalently $$2(x+y+z)-xyz\le 10$$
Here is an attempt. I believe it has to be reconsidered for negative numbers, though.
$0\leq (x+y+z-1)^2$
$0\leq x^2+y^2+z^2+1-2(x+y+z)+2xyz(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})$
$2(x+y+z)-2xyz(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})\leq x^2+y^2+z^2+1$
EDIT: As pointed out my bound is the wrong way :( But I hope the first steps gives others some ideas.
That's almost what we want. We only need to bound the harmonic mean by the quadratic mean now.
$\frac{3}{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}}\leq \sqrt{\frac{x^2+y^2+z^2}{3}}$
In our case: $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}\geq \sqrt{3}$
which is enough.
Hope there is no mistake :)

James Briscoe awarded 2008 EMBO Gold Medal
Researcher establishes a paradigm shift in the regulation of neuronal cell development
Heidelberg, 10 July 2008 - The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) announced that James Briscoe of the Medical Research Council 's National Institute for Medical Research will receive the prestigious EMBO Gold Medal for 2008.
Briscoe receives the award in recognition of his discovery that cells integrate time of exposure and concentration of a morphogen to subsequently mount a graded response.
Awarded annually, the EMBO Gold Medal recognizes the outstanding contributions of young researchers in the molecular life sciences. Widely regarded as the most prestigious award of its kind in Europe, the Gold Medal highlights the high standards of Europe's best scientists.
"James Briscoe has revolutionized our understanding of the specification of cell identity in a given spatial setting," said Hermann Bujard, EMBO Executive Director. "His work exemplifies how talented scientists are advancing the field of molecular biology."
Four years at Columbia University in New York as a postdoc in Thomas Jessell's lab laid the foundation for Briscoe's career as a developmental biologist. James says he "learned" developmental biology from working alongside Jessell and a "great" postdoc in the lab at the time, Johan Ericson.
While at Columbia University, Briscoe began to unravel the control mechanisms of neuronal cell identity in the ventral neural tube – a research theme sustained in his own lab at NIMR since taking up a group leader position in 2000. Specifically, the Briscoe lab studies the central role of the morphogen Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) to specify the position and subtype identity of neurons in the ventral spinal cord.
"We want to understand how neurons - nerve cells – are arranged in the spinal cord," explains the EMBO Gold Medal winner for audiences other than his peers. "Specifically we are looking at the molecular basis of how different neuronal cells are organised in a developing embryo as a result of signals received from an important molecule called Sonic Hedgehog, or Shh, that is secreted from a particular region in the spinal cord."
Briscoe and his group discovered a novel mechanism that allows cells to integrate the time of exposure and the concentration of the morphogen Shh to subsequently mount a graded response. In other words, different concentrations of the morphogen activate a signal within the receiving cell for different periods of times. Cells in turn respond to different durations of the signal by activating different genes and therefore becoming different types of nerve cells.
"The discovery that concentration is effectively converted into time is a major shift in our understanding of how a graded signal acts to regulate genes," stated David Wilkinson, Head of Genetics and Development at NIMR, in his nomination of Briscoe for the EMBO Gold Medal.
James Briscoe's contribution to the understanding of how cell identity is specified in a given spatial setting has established a new paradigm that may also apply in many other contexts. In addition to Shh, a number of other secreted molecules – members of different protein families – have also been implicated in acting as morphogens to pattern other tissues. "It is possible that other morphogens could use a similar mechanism to control cells, for example early in embryo development during gastrulation," explains the Gold Medal winner.
"James's discoveries have revealed general principles that may apply to many other contexts in which graded signals and downstream transcription factors control cell identity," confirmed David Wilkinson.
Robb Krumlauf, former Head of Division at NIMR who helped to recruit Briscoe to the institute, points out his outstanding qualities at the bench: "At NIMR James rapidly established an independent and creative line of research in his own group. His work is highly rigorous, hits the heart of a problem, and continues to be timely and of wide general interest."
Jim Smith of the Gurdon Institute agrees with Krumlauf that Briscoe's work "has been remarkably creative and imaginative while retaining characteristic levels of careful experimentation and scholarship."
On hearing the news of the EMBO Gold Medal Briscoe referred to the success of his team of researchers: "I have been very fortunate working with very talented and smart people. They taught me a lot, supported me fantastically, and made many significant contributions."
In 2000, James Briscoe was selected to benefit from the highly competitive EMBO Young Investigator Programme, then in its first year and now renowned for its scientific excellence.
James Briscoe will receive the EMBO Gold Medal and an award of 10,000 euro on 6 September 2008 at the EMBO Members Workshop, Frontiers of Molecular Biology, in Tampere, Finland.

More Americans living alone and have greater number of pets
The number of Americans living alone is growing and so is the number of singles who have pets, statistics show.
But while the benefits of animal companions are well documented, there's also a potential downside, experts say. To avoid it, single dwellers need to think through their impulse to pair up with an animal and be ready to provide a pet with healthy environment, they add.
Let's start with the numbers.
More than one quarter of the U.S. population now lives alone, according to a recent article in Forbes magazine. Thirty years ago that figure was 17 percent. The trend has momentum and is not likely to reverse, the article says.
The American Veterinary Medical Association's 2012 U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook indicates that pet-owning singles have begun to close the gap with pet-owning families in the last five years. While the number of families with pets showed less than 1.5 percent growth, single adults with pets increased more than 16 percent.

text: The National Aquarium is teaming up with Constellation to support environmental conservation efforts in Baltimore and throughout the Chesapeake Bay and implement energy and water conservation measures at its 33-year-old Baltimore facility. "We could not be more pleased about this new initiative with Constellation," said John Racanelli, National Aquarium CEO. "Our two organizations have deep roots in Baltimore and serve a national audience. The Aquarium's mission to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures fits nicely with Constellation's strong commitment to drive energy conservation; both benefit our blue planet in many ways. And, by supporting the Aquarium's conservation education programs and upgrading the energy efficiency of our facilities, Constellation will help us to deliver meaningful experiences to millions of guests from throughout Maryland and the nation." As the lead sponsor of the Aquarium's Chesapeake Bay Initiative, Constellation's funding of $1 million over the next five years will provide accessible and innovative science-based educational opportunities for Aquarium guests, volunteers and students. This initiative includes supporting the Fort McHenry Wetland Restoration program, as well as the award-winning environmental education programs, Terrapins in the Classroom and Wetland Nursery. Constellation will also assist in upgrading the Aquarium's on-site education carts that promote environmental stewardship and conservation values through experiences where visitors can touch live animals, examine artifacts and engage in conversations with Aquarium staff. "Constellation is proud to support the National Aquarium in its efforts to educate and connect the community with the Chesapeake Bay and importance of environmental stewardship," said Joseph Nigro, CEO of Constellation. "We are committed to helping our customers, like the National Aquarium, conserve energy, save money and better manage their energy usage – not only to help them achieve their business goals but also as part of our vision of creating a brighter, more sustainable future for the communities we serve." The Aquarium will implement $3.7 million in energy and water conservation measures through a 15-year energy performance contract (EPC) with Constellation. Under the terms of the EPC, the water conservation and energy efficiency improvements provided by Constellation require no upfront capital from the National Aquarium and are guaranteed to provide $235,000 in cost savings annually. The Aquarium will use the guaranteed savings to fund the project in addition to utility rebates for energy efficiency upgrades. Maryland Clean Energy Center facilitated the project financing for the National Aquarium with its lender. "I am delighted that we could help such a highly visible and popular attraction as the National Aquarium to bring funding to this project," said Kathy Magruder, executive director, Maryland Clean Energy Center. "The Maryland Clean Energy Center has now demonstrated the ability of the Maryland Clean Energy Capital Program to assist not-for-profit entities with affordable energy improvements." The Aquarium's energy and water conservation measures will include lighting upgrades and controls, chiller and boiler replacements, building envelope improvements, updated water fixtures and controls as well as transformer replacements. The measures will avoid the creation of more than 12,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data. Work is scheduled for completion in early 2015.

Bring Happiness with Every Piece of Furniture From day one, this has been Furniture of America Mission. FOA believes the purchase of new furniture is an important milestone in the growth of every person and every home. It becomes part of the happy memories of all of the wonderful events of life. From starting a new life together, the birth of a child, purchase of a new home to a graduation, almost every purchase is tied to happy events. From the consumers to retail partners and to suppliers, the path to happiness comes from every piece of furniture sold. Eleven years ago, a few people with a love for furniture, a dream and a unique employee-focused business model unlocked the doors of a small warehouse in Southern California for the first time. Today that love for furniture has become a passion, the dream a reality, the business model a study for top business schools, and that small warehouse has grown to five strategically located distribution warehouses across the U.S. totaling close to two million square feet. As prescribed in their plan, "always stay on the leading edge of technology" As FOA's business exploded with high double-digit growth every year and at times overwhelming product demand, FOA was able to make the adjustments to meet the growing demand by automating the distribution network at just the right time. This now fully-implemented semi-customized distribution management system has improved operational efficiencies to a point of being able to handle double its previous capacities to better respond to demand from their ever-growing customer base.:

Choosing a leisure battery for your caravan, camper, motorhome or boat can be quite difficult if you don't know what to look for. At Tayna we offer a wide range of leisure batteries to cater for all leisure applications. Leisure batteries can firstly be broken down to the standard wet lead acid battery type such as the Powerline 678 Leisure battery and the Powerline 679 Leisure Battery. Then there's the wet sealed lead acid battery type such as the Numax CXV24MF 86Ah Sealed Leisure Battery; the Gel Battery type such as the Sonnenschein Gel SL80 or the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Battery type like the Optima YT S 4.2 Battery.
We carry the full range of Numax Leisure Batteries, Numax Sealed Leisure Batteries, Optima Leisure Batteries, Sonnenschein Leisure Batteries and Varta Leisure Batteries. Our latest range of leisure batteries are the Elecsol Leisure Batteries range with a full 5 year guarantee.
To decide which type is best for you depends on a number of factors. The standard wet lead acid leisure battery is generally the cheapest on the market. They are cost effective but need maintaining and are more prone to damage caused by discharging and generally have a shorter service life than other leisure batteries. The sealed wet leisure battery needs no maintenance, will hold its charge for longer and are safer as they cannot leak electrolyte like a standard leisure battery. AGM and Gel leisure batteries are able to cope with more charge - discharge cycles during their service life and will hold their charge far longer. They are also used for more specialist applications as they do not gas as much as other batteries and are completely leak proof. The AGM batteries also have the advantage of being extremely resistant to vibration.
The next thing to consider when buying a leisure battery is what you'll be running off the battery, like a fridge, lights, tv etc. If you calculate how many amps your appliances will be using it makes it a lot easier to select the correct leisure battery. Another consideration is whether you are going to be away from a charging source for certain periods of time. The longer you are away from a charging point the bigger the battery's capacity (Ah figure) will have to be.
The battery's capacity, measured in Amp Hours (Ah), is a measure of how much energy the battery can store. The bigger the Ah value the more energy can be stored and therefore will last longer between charges for similar loads. Generally the bigger the battery, the higher its Ah value will be. This is when you'll have to compromise if your battery tray restricts you to a certain size of battery.
Whichever leisure battery you choose it will need to be kept in good condition to fulfill its maximum service life. This can be done by using a good charger to keep it charged when not in use. This keeps the battery healthy and prevents sulphation of the battery plates. For standard wet leisure batteries a simple battery charger can be used to charge it monthly when not in use. For sealed AGM and Gel leisure batteries it is best to use an automatic charger like the CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger or the CTEK MULTI XS 3600 Charger.

I love Monica's quilt and that dark gray really makes everything pop, doesn't it?
Katy's spin on the Dreseden Plate is pretty fabulous.
my Quilt Camp buddy Jeni's star quilt is so fun!
And I love the movement and color choices in John's quilt.
And here's my contribution, my Silo quilt. You might remember that this is the quilt that was chosen as a winner of the Modern Quilt Guild's Project Modern Challenge Four, by none other than Denyse Schmidt. She had some really nice things to say about it...
As I said, the book comes out in December, just in time for the holidays, so it will be perfect for gift-giving for your fabric loving friends. Or, yourself! Stay tuned for more information on the book, and I'll be giving away at least one copy to one of my readers as well.

Netflix announced its integration with Facebook so users could share what they watch through the streaming service -- except in the United States, where federal law prevents it.
Facebook users will only get Netflix integration in Canada and Latin America, according to the Los Angeles Times. The reason?
The Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1988 law that forbids the disclosure of people's video rental information. Companies that violate the law are liable up to $2,500 for each infraction.
U.S. & World
The law was initially created in reaction to the disclosure of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork's video rental habits in a newspaper, according to the Electronic Privacy Information Center. It seems that Blockbuster attempted Facebook integration in 2008 and was sued by a Texas woman for sharing her movie rental information on Facebook. In Canada and most everywhere else, this would not be a crime.
Apparently Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-VA) wasn't too busy to sponsor a bill that would allow U.S. Facebook users to opt into the program. "We're hoping HR2471 passes, enabling us to offer our Facebook integration to our U.S. subscribers who desire it," Netflix chief executive Reed Hastings and chief financial officer David Wells wrote in a letter to shareholders.
We should be pleased we live in a country that protects our right to a private video rental history. If only that same privacy extended to facial recognition software.

Gas Convection Oven
Commercial Convection Ovens Cook Faster and More Efficiently with a Restaurant Convection Oven Cook foods consistently and save time with a commercial convection oven! These restaurant ovens have a fan that actively circulates hot air around food in the oven cavity to create a uniform and consistent temperature. This design reduces cold air space around food, making it cook faster than foods in standard radiant ovens. We offer a restaurant convection oven in single or double deck models so you can keep up with your volume of orders. Ideal for bakeries, restaurants, and cafeterias, a commercial convection oven will cook large quantities of food quickly without sacrificing quality. Breads, muffins, and other goods will bake consistently with a flaky, crispy crust, while meats will cook evenly and remain tender and juicy. We also offer cook and hold models to slowly roast meats and keep food at optimum temperatures in between servings. Choose from ovens with glass or solid doors to customize your ability to watch your food as it cooks.

Asset management services
Condition-based maintenance uses a range of powerful, yet non-invasive monitoring techniques to determine current machinery condition and store historic trend data, giving the evidence required to predict and provide early warning of impending equipment faults.
Early warning allows improved maintenance planning, by providing more time to plan and organize the spare parts with long delivery time, and skilled manpower required to carry out the corrective tasks required. Early warning and planned intervention reduce the risk of consequential damage to other machine components and systems, with potential for major savings to direct maintenance costs and spare consumption.
As the risk of severe machinery breakdown is minimized, condition-based maintenance also helps reduce the potential risk of health, safety and environmental incidents on board the vessel.
The use of online condition monitoring systems, or fixed sensor systems in hazardous zones or inaccessible locations will also minimize the need for ship engineers to visit these areas, reducing personal injury risks for technical staff.
Finally, the marine condition-based maintenance programme support services also provide the knowledge and understanding required to allow the root cause of significant and repetitive faults to be identified and eliminated, and continuous improvement in equipment reliability to support maximum ship availability in service.
