John's Cross
Volunteer firefighters
were called out in emergencies
to help work the pumps.
After each fire,
The Volunteer Fire Brigade
and Board of Health
gave them a token like this.
John Hawkin
was a volunteer fireman
when Croydon's Parish Church burnt down.
He made this cross
from a piece of burnt timber
that was left behind.

This description of the fire
is read by an actor.
"The fire completely illuminated
the whole town,
and it was a curious sight to see
the emitted sparks
intermingled with the flakes of snow
floating in millions and millions
over the snow covered house tops,
and the heads of a curious,
anxious and weather-beaten
crowd of spectators.
At twenty four minutes to twelve o'clock
the hands of the huge clock stopped.
The tower contained a ring
of eight bells,
one of which fell with a heavy thud
to the basement of the tower.
The other seven
are believed to be melted."
The early Fire Brigade
Volunteer firemen
would exchange their tokens for money
at the fire station the next day.
People who helped pump water
got paid more than other volunteers
so that job was much more popular
sometimes leaving no-one
to look after the hoses.
The volunteers only got paid
if there was a fire.
They were accused
of starting the 1867 Parish Church fire
just so that they would be paid
to put it out.

North Stonington to consider less-costly proposal for schools renovation
North Stonington — A public hearing will be held Wednesday on a revised $40.52 million school facilities renovation project that is $6 million lower than a previous plan rejected at referendum earlier this month.
The hearing will begin at 7 p.m. at the North Stonington Elementary School multi-purpose room.
On May 5, taxpayers voted against the initial $46.99 million project, which could have resulted in a tax rate increase of 5.31 mills.
Dave McCord, chairman of the Board of Education, said maintenance of the buildings has been deferred for years and is long overdue. He said every roof is past its warranty; every window, except in the gymnatorium, is 50 years old.
"So much has to be done, and the town will end up paying for it one way or the other," said McCord. "Whether you do it piece by piece, or all at once, it just has to be done. I'd rather get state reimbursements than the town paying for it."
Depending on whether the town gets an additional state waiver, the town's portion of the renovation could be $25.87 million or $22.42 million, according to a project budget and reimbursement form.
First Selectman Nicholas H. Mullane II said he requested the public hearing before the proposal is presented to the Board of Selectmen because he wants the taxpayers to understand what the renovation project entails and what the financial implications would be.
"I'm just the presenter of facts and will do whatever I'm directed to do," said Mullane. "Our grand list hasn't grown. Is this adding value to education? This is the biggest project that the town has ever had. There is a lot for the people to consider."
Talk of the need for a long-range building plan dates back decades. But the New England Association of Colleges and Schools ignited the most recent discussion in 2008, when the accrediting body placed Wheeler on a warning list, citing multiple issues including lack of space, sub-par computer labs, maintenance issues and unbalanced temperature control.
The original $46.99 million project — designed by Rusty Malik of Quisenberry Arcari Architects — would have built a new gymnasium/auditorium on the north side of Route 2. That plan called for more than 40,000 square feet of additional space for both Wheeler Middle School/High School and North Stonington Elementary School. The plan aimed to address multiple age-related challenges of the 50-plus-year-old schools, including modern building and health code issues, Title IX issues and safety concerns over crossing a busy thoroughfare to get from the high school/middle school to the gymnatorium.
Under the latest proposal, plans to build a new gym/auditorium were eliminated, which reduced the additional square footage by nearly half.
But the new plan does maintain some integral components proposed in the original renovation proposal, such as creating new science labs at the middle and high school, fully renovating all classrooms, making the schools Americans with Disabilities Act compliant and replacing all the fire mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems and infrastructure.
Some of the renovations at the middle and high school would include 12,058 square feet for a science addition with laboratory classrooms, lab preparatory and storage rooms and a kitchen and cafeteria addition.
The elementary school would include a new multi-purpose gymnasium with a stage, storage and community entrance lobby. The size of the gym was reduced by 1,500 square feet under the revised proposal.
The plan also maintains moving pre-K through first grade to the lower level and having grades two through six on the upper level.
After Wednesday's public hearing, the selectmen are expected to act on the school project and, if they approve it, pass it to the Board of Finance. If the Board of Finance approves the plan, it would return to the Board of Selectman, which has tentatively scheduled a meeting for June 16 on the project. Voters would then vote on the proposal at referendum on June 23.
McCord said if the project is approved, the town would have to submit its plans to the state Department of Education by June 30.
"I don't know what will happen to the project if it's not passed," said McCord. "I don't know what we would do next. It just plain needs to be done."

I whis i was in Antartica
Apr 16, 2009
Hello Dr, You are doing really perfect job here.My idea,You are the best.
I asked questions before but you didnt answer.I hope this time i deserve an answer.
1-I tested 12 times 4th gen. (ag+ab)blood test for hiv in 160 days, all negative. Last test was 160 days,0.11 of less than 180 days.Can virus calculate it ? (i could wait 20 days more ) after possible risk. Now i am at 9.5 months, must i have take another test again ?(I think i will do ) 2-However, there are no guarantees as to when an individual will produce enough antibodies to be detected by an HIV test. If you have any unexplained symptoms, talk with your health care provider and consider re-testing for HIV.
Whats up with this ??? Who has written this, test kit producers ? 3-CSW told me she makes regularly hiv test and negative. Then 3 months. If she said i am positive... Then 6 months.
Does a CSW change science's decision for 3 months ???
4-If i was living in Antartica would i test every day? You know one day is 6 months at there :))
Thank you for response(s),God Bless You.
Response from Dr. Frascino
1. Generally speaking I tend to skip questions that start out with statements like "I have tested 12 times using a 4th-generation assay out to 160 days; all negative. Do I need another test?"!!! Exactly which part of HIV negative are you having difficulty understanding??? You've now tested repeatedly negative out to 9.5 months! You just can't get any more negative than that. HIV is not your problem. No way. No how. No additional HIV tests are warranted. In fact, you've had way too many already!
2. I'm not exactly sure what you are asking in this question. I'm assuming you read the statement in question somewhere. Perhaps on a test kit insert or lab test result sheet. There is nothing untrue about this statement. HIV is not a stopwatch or calendar. For instance it cannot distinguish between exactly three months versus three months plus (or minus) two days. The guidelines for testing are based on very large population studies conducted over the past quarter century that HIV-antibody tests has been in use. What we know is that most HIVers will have detectable levels of HIV antibody in their blood within four to six weeks. However, a small minority may take a bit longer to produce detectable levels of specific anti-HIV antibodies. Consequently the guideline was set at three months for a definitive result, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Because a missed HIV diagnosis could have disastrous consequences and the variability of an individual's specific immune response, the CDC recommends a repeat test at six months for significant occupational exposures and also for non-occupational exposures in which there was significant exposure to someone confirmed to be HIV positive. Science does not change based on level of risk. The guidelines are based on a statistical analysis of the probability of HIV transmission. Nothing more. By the way, "science" is also quite clear that 12 HIV tests over a 9.5-month period are unwarranted and highly excessive.
4. As for Antarctica, if you were living there you probably wouldn't have to worry much about HIV testing, as it would be a challenge just to find a CSW to have unsafe sex with!
One final comment about testing and all the folks who remain so confused and worried about three months versus six months, a simple piece of latex used consistently and properly would eliminate all your testing conundrums!
Be safe. Be well.
Dr. Bob

The best published module, some friends and I have always said is the original Ravenloft module though any of its later versions will do nicely.
One of my favorite homebrew horror adventures I did before there was a Ravenloft campaign setting. I made a 'haunted house' adventure that took scenes out of more than 30 classic horror movies and shows from The Munsters to The Exorcist and placed them some where in or around the house. Then everytime the players encountered one of these scenes I awarded bonus experience to the first player who could correctly identify the movie it came from.

Some of the best conversations in the automotive world are had via IM and never seen by the public, depriving you of honest and unedited opinions. Screw that. It's time we include you in the conversation.
The new Maserati SUV does look a little shopped, but more interesting than how it's going to look (it'll have a giant trident on the front and portholes) is what the powerplant it'll have. Zerin Dube of Speed:Sport:Life has opinions. I have opinions. We share them.
It's also worth noting that at one point in this conversation Zerin sent me a photo of his cat on his keyboard. This is your modern autojournalism. Also, we found this awesome picture of Bob Lutz.

- See also: Liberal bias and Liberal media bias
Media bias is advocacy journalism gone wild, where one-sided arguments masquerade as objective reporting. It "is rarely expressed through distortion of the facts, but rather through the omission of certain facts that would be inconvenient for the outlook of the person or group reporting."[1] A good example is Paul Krugman's claim, in his New York Times opinion piece, that "Everyone knows that the American right has problems with science that yields conclusions it doesn't like."[2] This statement completely ignores the much worse "problems" the American left has with science, such as the climate science which refutes the junk science used by liberals to prop up their global warming theory and their "solution" to the "crisis" (see Kyoto Protocol, etc.), as well as the scientific facts that there are only two genders, that life begins at conception, among other facts.[3][4]
It manifests distortion of news, commentary, non-fiction articles, textbooks, documentaries, speech codes and the like to favor one side's ideas over another's (see partisanship). Dictatorships and other authoritarian regimes which suppress freedom of the press are notorious for their media bias, particularly when all media are controlled directly by a one-party government.
Most journalism schools in free countries address the issue of eliminating bias, although efforts are rarely successful. The U.S. media is strongly polarized, with multiple outlets have strong liberal and conservative biases, depending on which station (or newspaper) is considered. Overall, however, many, including some academics with scientific backing, maintain that the media has a general liberal bias.
Sources of bias
- Deliberate propaganda: Presenting bias with the intention of benefiting the media establishment.
- Institutional bias: The reporters and editors of a media organization may hold political views, which influence their reporting. Reporting on the Vietnam war has been cited as a notable example of such.
- Sensationalism: Media depends on viewership for financial support from advertisers. Thus stories that have little political value but much entertainment value may receive attention disproportionate to their impact. Scare stories are also an example of sensationalism.
- Omission: The inverse of sensationalism, media may overlook important but boring stories.
- Political correctness or sensitivity: Fearful of appearing racist or discriminatory, media may avoid any stories which reflect negatively on an ethnic, social or religious group, especially if the group is a minority.
- Confirmation bias: a type of selective thinking whereby people tend to report what confirms their beliefs, and to ignore, or undervalue what contradicts their beliefs.
- Audience bias: Readers or viewers tend to read news sources with which they agree. Thus, media must reinforce the existing views of their audience, or risk losing them. This source of bias can also reinforce the effect of a moral panic. In this case, the public may receive a distorted perspective that is a result of their own preferences, because the news media will deliberately deliver news not only suitable and desirable to the general public, but may also incorporate bias that would similarly suit the viewer.
Academic Studies and theories of media bias
The Media Elite, co-authored in 1986 by political scientists Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman, and Linda Lichter is among the most cited academic study of political bias in news reporting. These researchers surveyed journalists at national media outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and the broadcast networks. They found that most of the responding journalists were Democratic voters whose attitudes were far to the left of the general public on a variety of topics: homosexual rights, abortion, affirmative action, and so on. The study argued that the way in which journalists wrote about controversial issues was directly related to their personal political positions.
Independently corroborating the findings above, is the 2002 book length study by political communication researcher Jim A. Kuypers: Press Bias and Politics: How the Media Frame Controversial Issues. In this study of 116 mainstream US papers (including The New York Times, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle), Kuypers found that the mainstream print press in America operate within a narrow range of liberal beliefs. Those who expressed points of view further to the left were generally ignored, whereas those who expressed moderate or conservative points of view were often actively denigrated or labeled as holding a minority point of view. In short, if a political leader, regardless of party, spoke within the press-supported range of acceptable discourse, he or she would receive positive press coverage. If a politician, again regardless of party, were to speak outside of this range, he or she would receive negative press or be ignored. Kuypers also found that the liberal points of view expressed in editorial and opinion pages were found in hard news coverage of the same issues. Although focusing primarily on the issues of race and homosexuality, Kuypers found that the press injected opinion into its news coverage of other issues such as welfare reform, environmental protection, and gun control; in all cases favoring a liberal point of view.

From Indie Craft Gossip I heard about a huge pattern archive with pictures and data on sewing patterns from the U.S. dating back to 1860. There aren't any instructions for sewing, but the pictures and the pattern designs themselves are amazingly cool and funny. I don't even sew, and it was fun to browse their pages on the "guest access" password. Check out these matching dresses with oven mitts from a 1943 Simplicity pattern:
The search interface is a little annoying to use, but if you take a look at a pattern or two, you might notice that the urls are all the same and end in a pattern ID number. In fact, each picture on the pattern pages is named after that pattern id. If you would like to use them for private research or study purposes or personal use, that seems to be permitted.
In fact you can do that really handily by making a short shell script,
for n in {1..100}
wget -r -l1 -np http://guest:email@example.com/library/special_collections/COPA/garment.php?patID=$n
wait 3
This would get you the first 100 patterns and you can search through their metadata on your hard drive with grep instead of using the clunky search boxes on the web site. I would recommend you not get too many at a time because it might be rude to their server, but find a range that you think are interesting, or copy the pattern ID numbers from a particular search. So if you wanted to fetch only patternIDs 14287, 10001, and 20, your script would look like this:
for n in 14287 10001 20
wget -r -l1 -np http://guest:firstname.lastname@example.com/library/special_collections/COPA/garment.php?patID=$n
wait 3
This is assuming you're using Linux or on a Mac with Xcode or where you have installed wget.
That wasn't at all obvious to me at first and I messed around for 2 hours tonight trying to figure out how to do this. First I tried using curl because you can put a range of numbers in brackets to download sequential urls like this:
curl http://guest:firstname.lastname@example.com/library/special_collections/COPA/garment.php?patID=%5B1-10%5D -o pattern-id-1#.html
But that doesn't get the images, which is no fun.
wget alone can get the images but only from a single url:
wget -r -l1 -np http://guest:firstname.lastname@example.com/library/special_collections/COPA/garment.php?patID=10
I tried writing some perl but wget is very annoying when you try to do a system call with it in Perl. Let's not even go there. Meanwhile there was some really dorky googling of things like "files sequential variable mirror wget"… and "bad port number perl wget system call".
Then I tried this script called curlmirror which almost worked.
Suddenly I stopped messing with it and wrote a 4 line shell script instead, feeling a little sheepish.
So, if you had set out to do this would you have realized how to do it quickly? Or do you have a better or different way to do it? On a meta level, have you messed around like this in several dead ends and do you find that to be stressful, normal, or downright fun? (I found it a mixture of all three; stressful because it feels like I "should" see the way to make it work, or the best way, immediately. It's fun because I enjoy dabbling in all these possible methods and learning something.) Would you explain that you did non-working things for 2 hours first or do you think it's better to just come out with the solution and not say how you arrived there?

Rated 5 out of 5 by sndvl322 from I don't know why I bought these, but I'm glad I did. Fishing for LM Bass in the West Point area of NY. Tied on a JuneBug when the ZOOM Toads stopped working. Five pound fish on first cast. They move a lot of water and invite vicious strikes. Not very durable as legs rip off. However after 17 Bass on five lures, I can't complain. I literally was bringing fish to the boat, unhooked, that would not let go, Green Pumpkin also worked. water was both stained on some ponds and crystal clear on others. Exceptional for hoping across lilly pads and algae slop. Used a 4/0 EWG offset hook.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BSTGS3 from Been using these for about 6 months now. Really like the general bulk of this bait. Has good action and gets pretty aggressive bites. Fished it T-rigged and on a shakey head with good success. Favorite colors are Watermelon Orange Fleck & Perfection Blue Fleck on sunny days and/or clear water and Black Blue and Okeechobee Craw on cloudy and/or off-color water.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Karen Richardson may not have known where she would end up, but she has always known that with hard work, anything is possible.
Karen Richarson, a White House staffer, says anything is possible in America.
Richardson, 30, works as a White House staffer on what the Obama administration sees as the most pressing issue of the day: health care reform.
She meets with President Obama several times a week and expresses the same kind of determination and sense of hard work to her job.
"You have to continue to plow forward and just keep working until it gets done," she explained. "I stay focused on the job at hand and I'm committed to getting this done."
Richardson didn't always want to work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As a student at Howard University, a historically black college, she developed a passion for international affairs and originally wanted to follow the path set by another African-American woman.
"Watching [former Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice at the prime point of her career, [I began] thinking, 'I can do this.' "
So Karen moved to Italy and started working for UNICEF. But then she got a call from someone asking if she might be interest in interning for "this new guy, Barack Obama."
Watching the news from abroad, she didn't know much about Obama, a senator at the time, except that he was the guy "with Kenyan roots," as she put it. So she decided to put her dreams of international field work on hold and give Capitol Hill a try.
"I thought, 'Well, I've never done anything on Capitol Hill, I've never worked over on Capitol Hill.' " Karen recalled, "So this would be a great opportunity and let me just go see what this is about and learn as much as I can while I'm there,"
What was supposed to be a six-month internship with Obama's Senate office became a full-time position after only three months, and she followed that trail all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Although Karen's journey to the White House was never "inconceivable" to her, she still takes time to appreciate how far she has come.
"I don't want to lose sight of what it took to get here, what it means to be here and what an extraordinary honor it is to be working for President Obama," Richardson said. "I have those moments every day and I really do try to remind myself every single day why I'm here and what an extraordinary privilege it is."
She also tries to go back to her alma mater to speak to students, particularly African-Americans who might not think they, too, can work at the White House someday.
"It gives me the opportunity to go back and speak about my path because it can inspire them," Richardson explains. "It's changing a perspective for them in light of what it is they can achieve."
"The American dream is accessible to anybody," Karen said. "Your options and the possibilities in life are really limitless."

Over the last few months I've been getting involved in the informatics & data mining aspects of high content screening. While I haven't gotten into image analysis itself (there's a ton of good code and tools already out there), I've been focusing on managing image data and meta-data and asking interesting questions of the voluminuous, high-dimensional data that is generated by these techniques.
One of our platforms is ImageXpress from Molecular Devices, which stores images in a file-based image store and meta data and numerical image features in an Oracle database. While they do provide an API to interact with the database it's a Windows only DLL. But since much of modeling requires I access the data from R, I needed a more flexible solution.
So, I've put together an R package that allows one to access numeric image data (i.e., descriptors) and images themselves. It depends on the ROracle package (which in turns requires an Oracle client installation).
Currently the functionality is relatively limited, focusing on my common tasks. Thus for example, given assay plate barcodes, we can retrieve the assay ids that the plate is associated with and then for a given assay, obtain the cell-level image parameter data (or optionally, aggregate it to well-level data). This task is easily parallelizable – in fact when processing a high content RNAi screen, I make use of snow to speed up the data access and processing of 50 plates.
con <- get.connection(user='foo', passwd='bar', sid='baz')
plate.barcode <- 'XYZ1023'
plate.id <- get.plates(con, plate.barcode)
## multiple analyses could be run on the same plate - we need
## to get the correct one (MX uses 'assay' to refer to an analysis run)
## so we first get details of analyses without retrieving the actual data
details <- get.assay.by.barcode(con, barcode=plate.barcode, dry=TRUE)
details <- subset(ret, PLATE_ID == plate.id & SETTINGS_NAME == assay.name)
assay.id <- details$ASSAY_ID
## finally, get the analysis data, using median to aggregate cell-level data
hcs.data <- get.assay(con, assay.id, aggregate.func=median, verbose=FALSE, na.rm=TRUE)
Alternatively, given a plate id (this is the internal MetaXpress plate id) and a well location, one can obtain the path to the relevant image(s). With the images in hand, you could use EBImage to perform image processing entirely in R.
## will want to set IMG.STORE.LOC to point to your image store
con <- get.connection(user='foo', passwd='bar', sid='baz')
plate.barcode <- 'XYZ1023'
plate.id <- get.plates(con, plate.barcode)
get.image.path(con, plate.id, 4, 4) ## get images for all sites & wavelengths
Currently, you cannot get the internal plate id based on the user assigned plate name (which is usually different from the barcode). Also the documentation is non-existant, so you need to explore the package to learn the functions. If there's interest I'll put in Rd pages down the line. As a side note, we also have a Java interface to the MetaXpress database that is being used to drive a REST interface to make our imaging data accessible via the web.
Of course, this is all specific to the ImageXpress platform – we have others such as InCell and Acumen. To have a comprehensive solution for all our imaging, I'm looking at the OME infrastructure as a means of, at the very least, have a unified interface to the images and their meta data.

Gisela Campagne's journey toward rescuing unwanted dogs led to a seemingly unlikely solution: wine.
She has put her years of experience behind her ever-growing dog-saving wine-tasting event. Campagne worked for the Huntington Beach Planning and Community Services departments for 37 years and knows a thing to two about hosting get-togethers.
"I've done a lot of fundraising for the city and event planning," the Huntington Beach retiree said. "Somehow I was always the party planner wherever I was."
When she needed to come up with a fundraiser for her dog rescue program, it didn't take Campagne much time to come up with Wags N' Wine.
In its fourth year, the wine-tasting event helps to keep Waggin' Trails Rescue Foundation up and running while finding canines a new home.
The event can be traced to 2009 and a small gathering at the historic Newland House, where a friend of Campagne's cooked pasta dishes and bottles of wine were donated to the cause, even before her foundation had been officially created. Now more than 10 wineries from Napa Valley are represented at the event, held at the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach, and a major sponsor is Five Points Plaza, she said.
"People come and they have such a good time," said Campagne, who is the Southern California director for the foundation. "I think it's because we offer such an amazing value."
People have the option of purchasing a general admission ticket for $45 or VIP admission for $60 online. Tickets will be sold for $50 and $65, respectively, at the door.
All tickets include unlimited wine tasting and a souvenir wine glass. Those choosing the VIP option get an upgraded glass, a swag bag and access to premium wine tastings, according to the event website.
Featured wineries include Rutherford Wine Company, Anantaah, Peju and Charles Krug.
"I walked door to door in Napa Valley just to get this wine donated. I really did," Campagne said. "I went from one winery to the other and that's how I got this amazing premium wine donated."
Waggin' Trails transports dogs that are unwanted or slated to be euthanized to reliable rescue shelters across California. The foundation also sends canines to Washington, Oregon, Idaho and even Vancouver.
Campagne started Waggin' Trails with her daughter, Ingrid Campagne, two years ago when they realized California had too many dogs that weren't being adopted or taken care of. At the same time, they found out that neighboring states were seeing a demand for smaller dogs. The two figured they could get more pets adopted if they worked with these out-of-state shelters.
"Our focus is on small dogs because that's what they're lacking in their shelters," Ingrid said. "We were getting requests from folks in Idaho, Washington and Canada for small dogs."
The Campagnes have been working with Bonnie Whiting, founder of Alternative Pet Rescue in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, for the past two years to help small dogs find homes in the Potato State.
Gisela Campagne said Waggin' Trails transports around 30 to 35 dogs a month to Idaho.
People don't realize that most shelter pets are puppies, Whiting said. "It's not just old dogs there."
If You Go
What: Wags N' Wine
When: June 23, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for VIP, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. for general admission
Where: Waterfront Hilton, 21100 Pacific Coast Hwy.
Cost: General admission is $45 online, $50 at the door; VIP is $60 online, $65 at the door

The Kurz Group (U.S. office in Charlotte, N.C.) unveiled two new decorating technologies. First, its patented 3DHS finishing process is a method of decorating 3D geometries. The system consists of the 3DHS hot-stamping foil, tooling system, and hot-stamp machine. Kurz offers the 3DHS foil in chrome, brushed metal, or colors. The highly elastic foil can be heat formed prior to hot stamping to match 3D part geometry.
The tooling system comprises fixing elements for securing the foil to be shaped and a hot-stamp die developed by Hinderer + Muhlich, a member of the Kurz Group. Another subsidiary, Baier, developed the 3DHS hot-stamp machine. At the show, Kurz partially coated an auto air-vent panel with chrome. The part's 3D geometry cannot be hot stamped conventionally. It would typically require two molded parts—an undecorated base and a chrome-plated ring.
The second new process was developed by Kurz and its German subsidiary, PolyIC, to combine in-mold labeling (IML) and in-mold decoration (IMD) in a single injection molding process for touchscreen and touch-sensitive buttons used in communication devices, vehicles, and appliances. In addition to special mold technology, it is primarily the IML-capable PolyTC sensor films—clear, flexible PET films with electrically conductive coatings—that enable new possibilities in RFID tags, displays, and solar cells.
The conductive material typically used for such coatings is indium-tin-oxide (ITO), which suffers from high preparation costs, low conductivity for large surface areas, and brittleness. PolyIC uses very fine (down to 10 microns) silver mesh to make the film conductive with only a very small portion of its area covered by the mesh. PolyIC's sensor films are flexible and can be incorporated in curved surfaces.
In the three-step molding process, the IML PolyTC label is first laid in the stationary injection mold half. The IMD foil with decorative coating is positioned by roll-to-roll feeding in the other mold half. Plastic is injected between the label and IMD foil to create a finished component.
This process was demonstrated at the show by Sumitomo (SHI) Demag (U.S. office in Strongsville, Ohio).

Multizone audio features have been available on better home theater receivers for several years (though I suspect few people take advantage of them). Now D+M, with the company's Denon and Marantz brands, is launching a series of receivers that also offer full second zone video via HDMI output.
In addition to the multizone video, other features appearing on some of the new Denon and Marantz receivers include Airplay, Streaming content (Pandora, Sirius and vTuner), 4K (upconverting and pass-through) and ungradeability (via internet downloads).
From Denon, the In-Command line represents the company's high-end, multifunction products targeted at enthusiasts and professional installation. They feature the company's top technologies for both audio performance and control/operation. Those products include the AVR-3313CI (SRP:$1199.99), AVR-2313CI (SRP:$899.99) and AVR-2113CI (SRP:$649.99).
The flagship AVR-3313CI is a 7.1 channel system offering 125 watts per channels and can be operated as as the center of a three zone system (three audio/2 video), each with independent sources. If sports seven HDMI inputs, HDMI matrix switching functionality and three HDMI outputs (2 x parallel, 1 x discrete) which allows for two separate video outputs. You can use one for the main home theater, and then run an additional HDMI out to a separate TV in another room.
The model AVR-2313CI offers 105 watts/7 channels, dual HDMI outputs and dual subwoofer outputs.
Model AVR 2113CI offers 95 watts/7 channels.
All three include 4K scaling and pass though (making them ready for the coming of 4K content); RS232 control, Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup and Calibration ,and a variety of other integrator-friendly features.
From the Marantz family, we get three new SR series of networked receivers featuring a similar set of options including Airplay, music streaming, 4K pass-through/scaling and 7.2 channel output, new user interface and a setup assistant to guide the user through the initial setup.
The SR7007 ($1,799) is a 125 watts per channel receiver with seven HDMI inputs (6 in the back and one in the front), 2-source, 2-zone video distribution over HDMI. An aluminum front-panel with fold up door hides a 2-line display. You also get a phono input for a turntable.
The SR6007 ($1,199, shown below) is a 110 watts per channel receiver while the SR5007 ($849, not shown)does 100 watts per channel.
All three receivers feature the latest Dolby Pro Logic llz, Dolby True HD, and DTS HD decoding. Additionally, all three accept LPCM 7.1 signals from a Blu-Ray player and have DC triggers and an RS-232c port for control integration. The front panel USB port will support high-resolution audio formats, including FLAC files.

Blog Hosting is one type of web hosting. Blogs, also known as weblogs are websites that feature regular updates in the form of individual entries, or posts. With the many different blog hosting options available nowadays, getting your blog set up can often seem like an overwhelming task.
As explained before, hosting implies a computer, somehow similar to the one you have at home, connected to the Internet, where your website's files reside.
In a guest post on tech startup news site TechCrunch Tuesday, Serguei Beloussov, former CEO (and current executive chair) of hosting software firm Parallels and one of the founders and directors of Runa Capital, shared some of his philosophy on venture capital, which understandably represents a good part of the philosophy of Runa Capital itself.
Cloud file sharing software ownCloud has made several updates to the community edition of its open source file sync and share project.
After four years of police investigation and court hearings, the owner of a former Kaitaia, New Zealand web hosting company NZ Website Design and Web Hosting 2010 will finally be sentenced next week in a case involving nearly $70,000 in fraud using auction website
More than a thousand websites, including a few belonging to web hosts, are using SSL certificates signed using the MD5 digest algorithm, which Netcraft says is vulnerable to attack.
It is unclear which country Svartholm Warg will be deported to since Cambodia and Sweden do not have an extradition treaty.
First thing I would like to discuss is that price is not everything! Doesn't matter if you're paying .99c for cheap web hosting and your site is completely unreliable because in the end, you'll lose money over these problems.
The small-business owners focus on hitting the target audience by winsome search engine experts. The business groups should use the available resources to redesign their website on a regular interval of time. This can be done with the use of on-line marketing strategy.
In today's era of fast growing technological development, it is really very hard for a business to endure without a properly designed business website. Companies without a commercial website have the propensity to lose large number of its potential clients.

Good afternoon all. Just got back from Ohio and visiting with my family over Christmas. There was time to reflect on the year, which, of course, includes the Mets' third straight losing season.
The year was the first under the Sandy Alderson-Terry Collins regime, which was supposed to represent a change in the franchise's culture and downward spiral.
It did not.
There were seemingly countless storylines that swirled around the Mets this summer, most underscored their dire frustration. The following are the top ten:
1) THE MADOFF PONZI SCANDAL: Most everything the Mets did this season, and will likely do in the next few years has roots in the Wilpon's financial mess caused by the Ponzi Scandal. The Mets have a mounting debt approaching $1 billion due in the next three years and which does not include what the courts might put them on the hook for in a Ponzi ruling. Standard & Poor's downgraded the Mets' financial status and there are no immediate signs of improvement.
2) JOSE REYES SIGNS WITH MIAMI: Reyes' departure to the division rival Marlins personifies the Mets' current financial plight. It was a no-brainer to let him go considering his salary demands and injury history, but not making an offer revealed how the Mets aren't in position to compete. Most believed 2011 would be his last season with the Mets, and he departed in style with two trips to the disabled list and pulling himself out of the last game of the season to preserve his batting title.
3) METS RELEASE PEREZ AND CASTILLO: Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo represented the Omar Minaya Era in giving obscene contracts for little production. Their presence cast a pall over the 2010 Mets and the new regime finally cast them away. Sad getting rid of two malcontent underachievers represented one of the highlights of the season.
4) BELTRAN, RODRIGUEZ TRADED: The Mets overachieved much of the first half, but any hope of a competitive season ended when Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez were dealt to San Francisco and Milwaukee, respectively, in the official surrender of 2011. Few thought Alderson could unload their contracts, but doing so lightened the Mets' financial burden – a little. Beltran and Rodriguez were to be the missing pieces to a championship, but instead personified the window slamming shut.
5) IKE DAVIS INJURED: What looked to be a harmless ankle injury ended up a season-ender for Ike Davis and renewed criticism of the Mets' medical staff. Reportedly, Davis will be ready for spring training, but we've heard that song before. Davis' injury opened the door for Lucas Duda's promotion to the major leagues, one of the season's few bright spots.
6) DAVID WRIGHT'S FALL CONTINUES: Wright missed over two months with a back injury and his power numbers dropped to 14 homers and 61 RBI. Wright's recent injury history and declining production, coupled with the Mets in a rebuilding mode, increases speculation he could be traded. But, those factors also mean what the Mets get in return isn't what it would have been two years ago.
7) THE DAVID EINHORN MESS: The Mets financial problems appeared to ease at the tune of $200 million when David Einhorn was brought in as a minority owner, but that fell through. The Wilpons' fallback plan is to sell $20-milion shares. So far, no takers.
8) JOHAN SANTANA A MEMORY: Despite the Mets' projections he might be ready at any number of occasions, it never happened and his rehab included several setbacks. The Mets will go to spring training knowing only one thing about Santana – they'll pay him $24 million next year.
9) BAY SIGNING A BUST: It has been two years and Bay has hit a combined 18 homers with 104 RBI. He did better than that in 2009 with Boston. There were dozens of reasons why the Mets shouldn't have signed Bay two years and one day ago. I'm thinking there are close to 66 million now.
10) PELFREY REGRESSES: After winning 15 games in 2010, Mike Pelfrey won seven games last year and there are thoughts he might never become the pitcher expected of him. With Santana injured, Pelfrey went into the season the de facto ace but posted numbers not worthy of a No. 5 starter.

Football season returns (sort of) to Cleveland this week, when shooting for the NFL-related movie Draft Day begins.
Via WKYC-TV, the bulk of the filming starts in and around Greater Cleveland on Wednesday. Shaker Heights and Berea, where the Browns are headquartered, appear on the list of sites where scenes will be shot. FirstEnergy Stadium will host some of the filming, too. (The dude from the Factory of Sadness video deserves a cameo, in his Pontbriand jersey.)
On Saturday, a casting call was held for football players in the 18-25 age range.
Filming in Cleveland at the same time will be Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Cleveland playing the role of Washington, D.C.
Some scenes from Draft Day already have been shot at Radio City Music Hall, in conjunction with the actual NFL draft. The films stars Kevin Costner (who plays the Browns G.M.), Jennifer Garner, and Denis Leary. Several NFL players appear in the film, including Texans running back Arian Foster.
The movie originally was scheduled to be filmed in Buffalo, with a focus on the Bills. Ohio ultimately offered a better tax deal than New York, so the Browns scored the victory.

I got to thinking a bit more about the item I posted Saturday on how "Scientists Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gases by Breeding Fartless Cows," and it suddenly occurred to me—hey wait a minute: I thought environmentalists were against genetic engineering!
As it happens, I'm currently reading the galleys for a fabulous book coming out at the end of this month, Pascal Bruckner's The Fanaticism of the Apocalypse: Save the Earth, Punish Human Beings. Put it on your summer reading list; it is terrific. I'll have a complete review in due course in one of the usual places, but for now I'll share his comment on the reflexive anti-GMO position of the environmental left:
Ecologism is the philosophy of twilight, of the pale and wan. Will genetic engineering soon allow us to develop a mosquito that can sterilize the anopheles mosquitos that spread malaria? That would be a prodigious invention capable of eradicating one of the worst scourges of our time. Immediately the censors throw fits, associations mobilize: no genetically modified organisms!
Yeah, that sounds about right. Fartless cows, si; saving third world children from malaria, no.
Meanwhile, over at the Discover Magazine blog, Keith Kloor takes to the woodshed journalists who credit unscientific anti-GMO views, wondering whether said journalists are stupid, or just lazy:
When a NYT investigative reporter reinforces the biggest myths and fears pushed by the anti-GMO movement, I don't see how it's possible to have a constructive, science-based discourse about genetically modified foods.

By: Dengdit Ayok, JUBA, JUL/31/2014, SSN;
When the greatest soldiers of our nation launched the second glorious revolution for the emancipation of our people from the yoke of Khartoum's slavery and marginalization in May 1983, which resulted into the inception of the SPLM/SPLA in July of the same year, the masses of this vicinity responded massively and joined the people's liberation army, when the SPLM declared clear rational political objectives in its first manifesto.
Those objectives were very sound and had magical magnitude that attracted our people from every corner of our vast territory. The struggle for freedom and dignity continued long.
The war raged in the southern part of the country and reached the north partially. Peace was achieved before raging long there. We struggled for freedom, justice, equality and prosperity. We paid the ultimate price of the struggle. More than 2.5 million offered their precious lives as martyrs for liberty and independence.
When we hoisted our flag in July 2011, everybody jubilated in pride for the birth of our nation, but the SPLM wolves in sheep's skin were planning to fail the nation and turn the developmental aspirations of our people into a nightmare.
The political differences that were postponed during the 2008 SPLM second national convention resurfaced in March 2013 and finally culminated into the current chaotic situation in the country last December. The result of those differences is now death of more than fifteen thousand and displacement of more than twenty thousand civilian population.
The result is the current game of feed dragging being played by the both sides of the conflict and on the mediators in achieving a lasting peace for the suffering people of South Sudan.
The result of this war is has put our country top on the list of the fragile states. The phrase 'fragile states' is a decent wording for 'failed states'.
The parties to the conflict have clearly rejected giving up delivering hate speeches and war propaganda in order to give room for peace. The result of this now is that the nation is going to loss bigger number of its innocent sons and daughters than those it had lost in the last seven months of the strife.
The SPLM has failed to run itself and run the nation. Though Dr. Garang de Mabior was a great eye opener and a visionary African and world leader, his disciples who had been with him for more than 21 years, didn't learn anything from his ideological unique political school.
They became like the 12 disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ who didn't understood him though they had been with him for 3 years and half before his crucifixion, until they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Comparatively speaking, Jesus' disciples were a little bit better then the SPLM and Garang's boys, because Simon Peter had correctly answered Christ's question: 'who do you think the Son of Man is?' on behalf the eleven.
They have drastically failed their party and divided it into SPLM-Juba, SPLM-HL (SPLM-historical leaders), SPLM-IO, SPLM-G11, SPLM-DECENTRALISATION, SPLM-FEDERALISM and before all these factions, SPLM-DC.
The worst part of the scenario is that they have failed the nation and plunged it into abyss and oven a terrible war! Acts of killings continues on day after day regardless of the apparent IGAD-led peace efforts to halt the war.
The SPLM has given credibility to Khartoum analysts' views that had claimed that, "South Sudanese cannot rule themselves; they will divide themselves along tribal lines and butcher themselves as soon as they get the independence". It should have proved them wrong.
Those who could have been the anointed Messiahs of South Sudan a source of blessing to their people have become a source of curse to them! This is a disturbing fact to many of them, but it must be said. It must be courageously said.
The only hope for the people of South Sudan is getting rid of this party called SPLM and sending it to the dustbin of history. It isn't impossible. It is possible because the people of this nation have a power and they are the source of sovereignty. They have a giant power that can conquer a political party produces death than delivering services.
A party that has stolen the resources of the nation and now engaged in killing the nation with impunity must go to the dustbin of history.
A party that gives credibility to prophets of doom and enemies of the nation and prove them right, though they are wrong, and continue to kill its people on day after day; is approaching horrible and clumsy political burial!

Tunneling is fully quantum-mechanical effect that does not have classical analog. Tunneling has revolutionized surface science by its utilization in scanning tunneling microscopes. In some device applications tunneling is required for the operation of the device (Resonant tunneling diodes, EEPROMs – floating gate memories), but in some cases it leads to unwanted power dissipation, such as gate leakage in both MOS and Schottky transistors. Resonant tunneling diodes, due to the tunneling current at small biases exhibit negative differential resistance region and, thus, are suitable for oscillators. Because of this, it is very important to understand tunneling in double-barrier structure.

Dear Parents, Staffs and Community Members:
We extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to all of the families involved in the Newtown tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. In the meantime, we will remain diligent in providing security and protection here in the New Hanover County Schools.
I believe it is important for us to come together as a community in the aftermath of the horrific tragedy that occurred last Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. This is a difficult time for us all and especially for parents with school-age children. When something like this occurs, it is understandable that we would have concerns. I have included a link with some information which you may find beneficial from the National Association of School Psychologists about helping children cope.
Please be assured that the safety of all students in New Hanover County Schools is and always will be our first priority. As we prepare for this final week before the winter holiday break, we have reviewed and increased our safety plans. The following is a list of precautionary measures we are taking:
1. All of our high schools and middle schools have Sheriff's Resource Officers (SROs) on duty.
2. We are working closely with the Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and Kure Beach Police Departments, as well as the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office. They will increase patrols around our elementary schools.
3. Central Office administrators will be at schools during the week to provide additional support.
4. If students need additional counseling, our team of counselors and social workers are ready to support and assist them.
5. All schools are reviewing their safety procedures including lock down and check-in procedures. Each of our schools has a safety plan and participates in regular lock down drills.
NHCS Safety Officer David Spencer and law enforcement assist with the drills and work with the schools to improve the process.
If you have any questions regarding the safety procedures of your child's school, please contact the principal.
Tim Markley, Ed.D.
