BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 1 1. Senator Wil
liam Kdgar Borah, senior senator
from Idaho, was re-elected today
by the twelfth Idaho legislature to
a second six-year term in the
United States senate. The ballot was ta
ken separately in both houses and will hu
confirmed in Joint session at noon tomor
row. Tloth the house of representatives and
the senate balloting separately, failed to
elect a short-term senator, and left the
Isimo an uncertain one, with Justice
James F. Ailshlo leading former Gov.
James H. Brady by the narrow margin of
two votes. Tho legislature will ballot
at noon tomorrow a 3ccond time on the

The summary of the vote,, including that
of-both houses on both tho. fulland "lh&

Remember she is thinking of you.
Now is the time for you to approach her and ask her about school work. She should be eager to share conversation with you and things will flow smoothly.
I know it is more difficult for you because you are a Muslim as you mentioned in earlier posts.
Good luck! George

If you're aiming to round off the summer with a barbecue this weekend, West Lindsey District Council and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have served up some advice to help make it a sizzling and safe success.
With the last long weekend of summer coming up, even people who have been glued to the World Cup and Commonwealth Games are likely to throw down the TV remotes in favour of throwing some food on the barbecue.
Cases of food poisoning almost double during the summer, and research shows undercooked raw meat and contamination are among the main reasons.
The FSA's simple advice shows how to prepare food safely in advance and cut the risk of spreading those barbecue bugs.
The top tips include: Pre-cook meat or poultry in the oven first and finish it off on the barbecue for flavour.
Charred doesn't mean cooked, so make sure burgers, sausages, chicken and all meats are properly cooked by cutting into the meat and checking it is steaming hot all the way through, that none of it is pink and that any juices run clear.
Disposable barbecues take longer so always check meat is cooked right through.
Avoid cross-contamination by storing raw meat separately before cooking and using different utensils, plates and chopping boards for raw and cooked food.
Don't wash raw chicken or other meat, it just splashes germs.
Salmonella and E.coli are well known causes of food poisoning, but nearly 60% of chicken sold in the UK contains a bug called campylobacter.
Campylobacter poisoning can lead to sickness, diarrhoea, disability and worse. Those most at risk are children and older people.
Find out more about the FSA's top tips at www.food.gov.uk/lovebbq

Under construction...
I wanna see Pokémon characters. I feel that ordinary Pokémon are rather under represented in the story.
For reliable training aside from the elite four and powerful trainers, I want the Vs. Seeker to be implemented in future games. I also want the following Pokémon back too.
And if you really want to get into the Acid Rain idea, I suppose it would have a 30% chance or something to Poison each turn (Normal poison, Toxic would be overkill) and only Poison types are affected ability-wise. It is a very simple weather concept, i'm surprised they haven't put it in already.
If Pokemon regions are continuing to branch out into other countries, Unova was New York right? and XY is Paris? I would hope for a full country game(s) at one point, so a game with all of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh... Orre? :P (Since those make up Japan.)
This is way down the track though when Gaming technology gets better, better yet... A Pokemon MMO?
I want a special service in the game where you pay money to evolve your Pokemon that need to be traded.
Dating would be a good thing too.

I'd like to be able to ride on a pokemon, I always dreamed of the day I could just jump on my Arcanine and dash through cities.
When surfing, I wish they'd show the actual pokemon your riding on instead of a blob.
Customization both people and pokemon.
More pokemon interactions, I want to do more stuff with my pokemon besides battle with them. Sort of like in HG/SS where you could compete in marathons. Stuff like that.
I thought black/white suffered because of this. They made you out to be the most lovable, kind trainer in the world, but besides battling there wasn't much you actually did with your pokemon.
Two things I would like to see: Customizable trainer and Battle Frontier!!!!!!!!
Customizable trainer and Battle Frontier FOR SURE!!!!
Grass pokemon and pokemon with claws or whatever could use Cut
and of course flying pokemon can use fly
and since there is no HM once you got a certain badge awhen you go to your pokemon that Move would appear like it does now
<-lvl.46 <-lvl.45 <-lvl.44 <-lvl.44 <-lvl.45 <-lvl.46
Pearl Team so far
<-lvl.82 <-lvl.83 <-lvl.81 <-lvl.82 <-lvl.81 <-lvl.78
HeartGold Team
A much better Wifi system and a fanbase.
One thing would be nice since you can olny have four moves there should be a seprete move-set but for HM only....
<-lvl.46 <-lvl.45 <-lvl.44 <-lvl.44 <-lvl.45 <-lvl.46
Pearl Team so far
<-lvl.82 <-lvl.83 <-lvl.81 <-lvl.82 <-lvl.81 <-lvl.78

Pokkén Tournament DX Review
The Numbers Game: Shiny and Perfect Pokémon
Create your own move:
Name: Icy Water
Power: 80
Accuracy: 100
Effect: A freezing cold water. Has a 10% chance to freeze the foe.
Move: Cryo Heal
Type: Ice
Power: ---
Accuracy: ---
Effect: The user heals any status afflicted and restores 75% of user's HP. The user gets Frozen, however.
Name: Alchemy
Type: Steel
Power: ---
Accuracy: ---
Effect: The user turns the foe into a Steel-type.
Move/Ability changes:
Twister to 65 base power.
Illuminate to lower foe's accuracy one stage upon switching in.
Run Away to be able to escape Shadow Tag/Magnet Pull/Arena Trap/Mean Look (though user still can't switch after it uses Ingrain)
Focus Blast to 80% Accuracy
Egg Bomb to have 90% Accuracy and have wider distrubtion (I mean come on Exeggutor has much higher SpA and Blissey has crappy phy attack)
Iron Fist to have 33% boost rather than 20% boost to punching moves.
Moveset changes:
Stone Edge: Metagros can perfectly make that. I mean if Ursaring can do it so can Metagross a metallic heavy Pokemon.
Heavy Slam: Speaking of heavy. Heavy Slam makes perfect sense for Metagross considering its weight the "gross" part of its name. It also would have made more sense to have the dream world ability heavy metal rather than light metal
Comet Punch: Just for aesthetic purposes. (also Comic Punch should have a higher base power, say like Bullet Seed)
Cut: self explanatory...
If there's one type I'd like to be added to the Pokemon franchise, it would be the Artificial/Synthetic type. I'd go with Synthetic just because it can be shortened to Synth. The reasons for this aren't really beneficial in terms of balancing the type chart, but because there are certain Pokemon that are 'Normal' type that definitely should not be thus.
I'm not so hot on the type matchups, and being that it would be a sort of mild change from the Normal type, there won't be that many strengths and weaknesses attributed to it. However I have a few things in mind:
Spoiler:- Strengths and weaknesses:
Super effective against:
Weak against:
Not very effective against:
Resistant against:
But the main reason, as I've said, that I would like this type is that several Pokemon would already suit it:
Spoiler:- Synth type Pokemon:
Grimer (Poison/Synth)
Muk (Poison/Synth)
Voltorb (Electric/Synth)
Electrode (Electric/Synth)
Ditto (Synth)
Porygon (Synth)
Porygon2 (Synth)
Porygon-Z (Synth)
Castform (Synth)
Trubbish (Poison/Synth)
Garbodor (Poison/Synth)
Technically you could also dual type Mewtwo and/or Deoxys, but meh, don't like screwing round with legendaries.
There's also a few moves that could be Synthetic type, although most of them wouldn't be attacking moves so it wouldn't really matter:
Spoiler:- Synth type moves:
Conversion 2
Mind Reader
Psych Up
Reflect Type
Tri Attack
Weather Ball

Final Boss: Giovanni
Plot involves Kyogre and Groudon being more-or-less randomly awoken and causing general havoc, the changes in weather cause the genies to surface; Landorus is pretty much clashing with Thundurus and Tornadus, to fit the rain vs. sun aspect, Suicune, Entei and Raikou appear to counteract them (more or less also adhering to the aspect; Suicune being the North Wind to counter Tornadus, Raikou countering Thundurus, Entei countering Landorus which makes the least sense out of all of them); a guy who later turns out to be Giovanni deploys Mewtwo to try and calm the legendaries down, then Mewtwo gets out of control and must be stopped; this is the Kyurem fight of the game. Giovanni wanted to save his name by staging a disaster and then solving it, a la Syndrome from the Incredibles, however Mewtwo stops listening to him. There probably isn't a team that needs stopping here, if it is it won't be Team Rocket. The Genesect event involves a behind-the-scenes explanation for Rayquaza not coming to calm them down; Genesect was used to murder the legendary. Victini is just some random event probably.
Other random ideas are the Champion showing up and noting that his Gothitelle can't read the stars/future properly because of all of the atmospherical interference, and the Flying E4 member being the lore guy and wondering where the hell Rayquaza is. Due to the weather screwing up one part of the game would have you go out and catch a Castform for study. Clamperl and Porygon would be gift Pokemon, with your choice of evolutionary item for Clamperl and the Up-Grade and Dubious Disc being given in some post-game sidequest(s). The idea is that nobody's seen a Porygon before and Giovanni starts carrying around a Porygon-Z and one of the supporting characters imports one post-main-game and gives it to you.
The Fossil Pokemon are all available in a relatively small cavern where Giovanni has been hiding out, sort of like he hid out in a cave during the HGSS Celebi event. It's also where he got his Aerodactyl, though I can't see that coming up in-game. Everything else more-or-less follows BW's trend of ordering the Pokedex in the approximate order you encounter the Pokemon in the wild; notable head-locations were a volcano for Groudon, where Slugma through Durant would be found (with stuff like Houndour and Woobat being found earlier in the game, but stronger here outside the volcano base), an underwater cave for Kyogre where Frillish through Eelektross would be found, a rugged mountainous canyon area for Rufflet/Smoochum/Rhyhorn where Castform is found for whatever quest involves it, a creepy/abandoned house with Koffing/Litwick/Drilbur in it and Dunsparce/Nuzleaf/Murkrow/Stantler in the grass/woods around it, and another wooded area with more of a natural, untouched-by-man, mystical feeling, with Chatot/Zorua/Roselia/Yanma-Yanmega. Everything else is spread out intermittently more-or-less in the order it appears. Victory Road contains things from Riolu to Hydreigon, with other things like wild Swoobat and whatnot (Woobat in Victory Road never sat well with me).
I also don't remember why I thought a gift Clamperl was a good idea, since you'd have to trade with someone for the evolution to work anyway. Maybe it would be an in-game trade and you still got to pick which evolution it was.
So there's my huge thing sitting in a Notepad doc.

Pittsburgh Steeler Nation Throwing Ben Roethlisberger Under the BusMarch 17, 2010
Doug Benc/Getty Images
Just when you think you have seen and heard it all something else comes along to prove you wrong.
I have been proved wrong by Steeler fans in the last week and half.
I thought I had seen the full range of emotions from grown men crying at the sight of the Stanley Cup paraded down the Boulevard of the Allies last summer to a small boy crying in church as prayers were recited for the soul of Roberto Clemente. I thought that covered the entire spectrum.
But in the last while I have seen another side of that spectrum that frankly I don't like. I don't like the hatred side of the spectrum and I have seen way too much of it since word hit the streets that Ben Roethlisberger was in legal trouble again with another woman.
The pure and unadulterated hate spewing from all corners of Steeler Nation over the Roethlisberger affair is just past insane. Most of the Nation that I have heard from have thrown Ben under the bus with both hands and wouldn't mind backing it over him for good measure. They have tried, convicted and sentenced him already. The only matter left for discussion is the time and method of execution.
I am overstating the case with that line sentence, but just barely.
I am not here to excuse what the Steeler quarterback may or may not have done a couple of Fridays ago in a small Georgia town. Celebrities don't go in the restroom in a public place with a member of the opposite sex. There are a different set of rules for athletes with $100 million contracts and Ben should have figured that out by now.
Having spent 30 years in various radio newsrooms across the country I have learned that until all of the facts are on the table in a court of law you don't really know the entire story. Sometimes even then part of the story gets lost in the constitutional maze inside the courtroom. Until you see and hear all of the available evidence you are at best guessing as to what transpired.
Guessing is a dangerous thing to do when someone's reputation and career are hanging in the balance.
Were the legal matters here as clear cut as some would have us believe then charges would have been filed and we would be one step closer to finding out everything in a court. That this has not happened yet and that there are no signs that it might not happen anytime soon have my newsroom instincts standing on end. There is more to this than the bashers of Ben would have you believe.
What troubles me more are the stories flying out of the woodwork about Ben and what he might and might not have done elsewhere in public. Did he really stiff your second cousin once removed out of tip? Did Arnold Palmer really say that to him? Probably not and no. But in a world gone mad all is the truth and everyone is fair game. That's the part that makes me ill.
There is a very good chance that the man you are bashing and would rather run out of town on rails is going to be your starting QB in September. How to you reconcile that? What is Roethlisberger carries this team all of the way to Super Bowl XLV and is named the game MVP? Still want to ship him to Cleveland or beyond?
The untempered madness surrounding this matter is both understandable and troubling all at the same time. Pittsburgh is an old-fashioned town with old fashioned owners and old fashioned values. Pittsburgh fans want their heroes quiet and polite like Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux, not like Barry Bonds. They don't want their 28-year-old QB hanging out in college bars.
But the hate has to stop. If Roethlisberger made a mistake he's got more than a few people to answer to and you are not on the top of that list. Deal with it. Your QB is human just like the rest of us and capable of acts of greatness and acts of cowardice just like the rest of us. You are going to have to take a step back for a moment and take a deep breath.
Here's something else to think about Steeler Nation: What if at the end of all of this Ben Roethlisberger has to find it in his heart to forgive you?

Each Organization is different. It has unique terminology, processes and organization. OpsCenter has been designed to be tailored to match the unique aspects of each organization. This allows the software to change to match the organization, not the other way around.
OpsCenter adapts to Your Terminology
The terminology used in OpsCenter is easily configured by a non-technical person. It does not matter to OpsCenter if you chose to call the actions taking place to response to an Incident a 'Mission', an 'Assigned Action', a 'Tasking' or something else. A non-technical person can decide what terminology to use throughout the system.
OpsCenter adapting to Your Content
The fields in OpsCenter can be turned off and on by a non-technical person. This allows OpsCenter to capture all the information, and only the information, that is important to your organization. For example, if your organization does not use Operational Periods as a part of your response process then those fields would be turned off to avoid confusion for your users.
OpsCenter adapts to Your Organizational Structure
In addition to modifying existing roles and creating new ones, you can decide what each role has access to in the system and the type of access.
Adapting to Your Language
Since all text in OpsCenter, including buttons, can be edited externally, localization requires a minimum of effort.
Adapting to Your Look & Feel
Colors and graphics can be readily changed to match your corporate guidelines.

'We will leave first, ahead of the Imocas, Class40s and other IRC boats, and with the other large trimarans in the event, by the western Solent,' Guichard said this morning, recounting the joy of, for the first time, getting into the deep end of a prestigious competition at the helm of Spindrift 2. The excellent training sessions have already tightly knitted the top-level crew, who have taken stock of both the potential, but also the demands of the world's largest trimaran. The goal for this race, in the absence of weather conditions to beat the clock, will be firstly to leave no navigation black marks on this first blank page and also to guarantee the cohesion of the crew and the esprit de corps. The race record, set by the same boat in 2011 in the colors of Banque Populaire V, of one day and eight hours does not seem possible for the Spindrift team faced with upwind conditions and the strong opposing currents of the Solent that will dictate their passage to the Irish Sea and Fastnet.
'Our routing see us arriving in Plymouth overnight from Monday to Tuesday after 1 day and 12 to 13 hours racing,' Guichard said.
'The Fastnet Race is timely for our gradual rise. It is important for the efficacy and cohesion of the crew to be able to run through the many lessons gleaned from the training sessions. The other maxi-multihulls that are in the race are certainly shorter than us, but they have power to weight ratios more suited to the conditions forecast today. We will have some serious competition on the water.'
With only one night at sea, the Rolex Fastnet Race is not yet a real oceanic test, but the men Spindrift 2 will still benefit from the walk through of their watch system. 'Everybody is on deck today, because leaving the western Solent is never easy,' Guichard said. 'There will be plenty of boats on the water (347 boats are entered), and we will need to immediately negotiate the strong currents. At nightfall, we can rotate the watches, with some rest and work. The slightly lower than expected wind means the sea state will not be as big as Fastnet, but it is upwind sailing is waiting for us in the first part of the race, before, hopefully, a fast return to Plymouth downwind…'

Dev is a football player at Forester University, a small liberal arts college where he and his teammates get to strut around and have their pick of the girls on Friday nights. That's as good as it gets - until he meets Lee, a fox with a quick wit and an attractive body.
Problem is, Lee's not a girl. He's a gay fox, an activist who never dreamed he'd fall for a football player. As their attraction deepens into romance, it's hard enough for them to handle each other, let alone their inquisitive friends, family, and co-workers. And if school is bad, the hyper- masculine world of professional sports that awaits Dev after graduation will be a hundred times worse.
Going it alone would make everything easier. If only they could stop fighting long enough to break up.
Kyell Gold's fourth novel is a story of relationships, of finding oneself and learning to live with someone else, set in the contemporary fantasy world that was the setting for his acclaimed novel Waterways: joint Winner of the 2009 Rainbow Award for Best Gay Novel; Winner of the 2009 Ursa Major Award for Best Novel.

"Don't be put off by the cover art"
While the editing and narration were slightly off (someone needs to tell the narrator how to pronounce Penelope), this is one of the best gay romance books I've listened to. Characters are subtle and well rounded. The dialog is some of the best I've ever read.
If you are a fan of gay romance, buy this book. I'm not a furry - so my enjoyment of the characters is purely based on the character development and story.
"Finished in just 2 days."
Probably, its a good read. I was particularly intrigued by the use of language. There was never really a dull moment in the writing. A lot of novels can be long winded and over descriptive. This strikes that happy balance. Not too over descriptive, not too dull.
It sure did have its moments. A lot of anticipation, a shock or two. And a satisfying ending.
I would happily recommend this.
"The Beginning of Something Great"
The narrator does a decent job of giving the characters their own unique voice characteristics.
The occasional switch of the perspectives between the two main characters is something I have never seen in a book in this genre before.
I believe he has a good voice for audiobooks and as he develops this skill with further books in the future, it will only get better.
It brought up a sense of pride for Dev in his bid to break the mold of the professional sports world and bring it into the modern era in terms of its treatment of players with alternative sexualities.
I hope that Kyell Gold will continue to have this trilogy produced in audio format as well as his other books.
"Award for the Worst Narrator goes tooo..."
By no means I want to be an ass, but after listening about half way through this book, it became the first book ever I've returned purely because of the narrator...
"loved it"
this book was a rollercoaster. gets kinda steamy in spots but it was a good kinda steamy.
"Damn It! Now I have to buy the 2nd book!!!"
I loved the authors odd yet refreshing writing style, switching back and forth between views of the two main characters, giving the reader insight into their lives, minds, and the world how they saw it. Yet the switching between characters never gave away what might happen next leaving the reading in suspense eager to flip the next page. I found it almost impossible to sit the book down just to go to work, I haven't read through a book this fast in years and I look forward into reading the sequel(s).
The story was what kept me reading to often I pick up a book and become board with how easy it is to see what is coming next. This one though, the author did a great job of keeping up the twists and turns yet not sending the reader for a spin. The story was never to good to be true, there were ups and downs, wins and losses, nothing went perfect and things were messy; it mirrored the real word and that is what kept me hooked to the story to the very last page.
No I haven't, at times the audio was a bit choppy and edited poorly in some ways with words being cut off when he switches from one take to another yet the audio didn't ruin the story in any way.
Not a specific moment, sentence, paragraph, page, or chapter was 'moving'. Though the decent into madness and obsession of Brian (the spotted skunk) that took place over the second half of the book would be the most moving for me. It wasn't an enjoyable part but that's what makes it good in my opinion like the perfect train wreck that you just can't turn away from.
It was an amazing book, and I enjoyed it cover to cover, the only reason I dare not give it a perfect score is how it ends on such a cliff hanger that I have to start the second book now and if the second book is anything like the first I'll be buying the third in a day or two. Damn you Kyell Gold! Damn you and your amazing writing and catching story telling! Damn you and how you can make me spend more money on books than I have in almost a decade in a matter of days!
I actually got this book 7 years ago but never got around to reading it. I bought it on audible and started listening to it in the car. I couldn't turn it off. It really is beautiful. Truly heart warming with suspense. Everything in it seems real and connective. I am glad to have read it.
"despite audio hiccups, good listen."
very good story, typical gay for you jock story but with heart and very good characters. the one issue was the narration having some weird pauses and strange pacing where he ran out if breath.(as well as being unable to pronounce Penelope)
"You better like football"
Lets start with the weakest part of the book, which has to be the narration. The technical quality of it is just sub par, and Mr. Sewell needs to slow down and to annunciate better. That being said it isn't terrible, but gets annoying at times. Now lets get to the most important part, the story. Its ok, the characters and settings are pretty good, and Kyell does a good job at writing these. However the story does have parts that focus primarily on the game of football, and unless you're into football these parts can be pretty dull.
"This book is amazing !!!!"
this book is one if the best books I have listened to I can't wait to read the others!!!!

Inflation slips to 5.07 percentFebruary 5th, 2009 - 3:01 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi, Feb 5 (ANI): After rising consecutively for two weeks, the inflation figures showed a slip to 5.07 percent.
The inflation rates declined primarily due to falling prices of fruits and vegetables and manufactured goods, encouraging policy rate cuts by the Reserve Bank to boost the industrial sector.
The prices of fruits, vegetables and bajra declined by two percent, while the coffee rates fell by one percent.
Raw rubber, groundnut seed and gingerly seed became cheaper by six percent, three percent and one percent respectively.
The prices of steel ingots, aluminium products and bars and rods also dropped during the period.
The index of manufactured products dipped by 0.5 per cent due to fall in prices of rice bran oil, khandsari and coffee powder.
The index of the textile industries fell by 0.1 percent due to lower prices of woollen cloth, sacking bags and hessian cloth.
However, the fuel index rose by 0.6 percent as the prices of Naphtha increased by fifteen percent, furnace oil by two percent and light diesel oil by two percent.
Inflation has slipped by 0.57 percentage points for the week ended 24th January from 5.64 in the previous week. It was 4.78 per cent a year ago. (ANI)

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted anything about Vern -- quite a cliffhanger, isn't it??? But I am tied to a chair working on grad school applications due Dec 1st. The circus is definitely in town.
Just wanted to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving. The New York Times did a fantastic piece a week ago about the craziness of family around Thanksgiving. Thought everyone would enjoy the laugh. Here's an excerpt:
It gets rude in there. Just how rude is exemplified by the story of a teacher from the Midwest who was pregnant with her first child when she attended a large Thanksgiving celebration at the home of her husband's parents.
For months, the teacher's mother-in-law had been saying that she wanted to be in the waiting room when the teacher went into labor, and the teacher, who recounted her story on the Mothers-in-Law Anonymous section of Grandparents.com, had been politely rebuffing her.
So at Thanksgiving dinner, with the family gathered around the table, the mother-in-law (referred to on this site as "MIL") took the matter into her own hands.
"MIL announced to me and the entire family the following," the teacher wrote. " 'I WILL be in the waiting room while DIL is in labor, and all of you are welcome to come too. MY SON will come and give me updates every hour on the hour.' "
The teacher told this reporter, "I wanted to scream: 'Are you serious? I've told you that I don't want anyone there and you invite the entire family! Who do you think you are, taking over my first birthing experience?' But what could I say and remain tactful?"
Her violent impulse is not uncommon at family holiday gatherings. Indeed, there are those who claim that there exists, in the archives of The Saturday Evening Post, a Norman Rockwell painting that is entitled "Throttling Granny," in which a New England farmer has one calloused hand on the throat of a gray-haired lady whose grandchildren cheer him on.Click here for the full article.
Starting Dec 3rd, I'm going to try and post a short spiritual reflection every day during Advent. I know, I know, can he do it -- actually post two days in a row! I'm going to try.
Gobble gobble.

To the editor:
This letter is in response to J. Bush and his Thursday May 8, 2014 letter regarding a cyclist on the Greenway. (Cyclists are Going To Kill Someone, Some Day, May 8 Capital News.)
I like to walk, ride my bike and drive a car. Therefore, I am aware of the duties and dangers of all three modes of transportation.
If J. Bush is newly arrived from England or Australia, I can see why he might be walking on the left side of the trail. In Canada we have, for as long as I have been around, always traveled on the right side of a road, sidewalk, path, trail etc.
I question why J. Bush insists on walking on the left side. I hope he doesn't do the same thing in his car.
Also, by his own admission, he saw the cyclist coming straight at him. There is no indication that he did anything, such as moving to the right, to avoid a collision.
Admittedly, the cyclist should have taken steps to change his path as obviously J. Bush had no intention or was unable to move out of the cyclist's way. I hope this incident has convinced J. Bush to walk on the correct side of a trail and to be a little more flexible in situations such as this.
Remember the order of things is a bike wins over a pedestrian and a car wins over both a bike and a pedestrian. That's just the law of physics.
Good luck in your future walks, J. Bush.
Bruce Brown,
To the editor:
Open letter to J. Bush re: Cyclists Are Going To Kill Someone, Some Day, his May 8 Capital News.
I sympathize with your concerns, and the cyclist may have been going too fast, but you were partly at fault here.
On a shared pathway we walk and cycle on the right side, except for passing, to minimize conflict.
You state that you and your wife were walking on the left. The cyclist, no doubt, was not expecting you there. Perhaps he didn't notice you in time, and was irritated that you were deliberately walking in his path.
You mention this was not the first time. By simply walking on the right side, you may begin to experience fewer of these confrontations.

Your Market Analysis: Expanded role for life sciences cleanrooms
By Robert McIlvaine
Cleanroom technology developed for traditional applications such as aseptic filling in pharmaceutical plants is increasingly being applied to distinctly 21st Century problems. The result is an expanded role for suppliers of rooms, filters, wipes and clothing to address problems such as SARS and bio-terrorism which did not exist previously.
By 2010 the traditional market for life sciences cleanrooms is forecast at $1.22 billion. The market for nontraditional cleanrooms is $950 million, expanding the total life sciences cleanroom market to $2.17 billion (see Fig. 1).
There is a large market developing for protection of both military and civilian sites from bio-terrorism. A number of U.S. embassies may have been secretly equipped with bio-terrorism protection.
A number of key government buildings have been identified as qualifying for investments to provide isolation from bio-weapons. By creating a positive pressure within the building and providing a way to destroy microbes in the intake air, the occupants of the building can be protected against exposure.
The U.S. EPA's National Homeland Security Research Center recently completed performance verifications of ten indoor air filters designed to protect occupants of large buildings from biological attack from terrorists. The filters are designed to remove bacterial or viral warfare agents from outside air entering the building and also re-circulated indoor air.
The performance verification, conducted by the EPA's Environmental Technology Verification Program (ETV), addressed the efficiency of very fine particle removal down to a size of 0.03 micron, which is characteristic of bacteria and viruses. Also addressed was the efficacy of each filter in removing selected biological agents, irrespective of particle size, including selected bacteria and viruses.
The filters tested were:
AAF International: BioCel I (Type SH) and DriPak 90/95%;
Aeolus Corporation: Synthetic Minipleat Panel, SMP-M12-24244;
Synthetic Minipleat V-Cell, SMV-M13-2424 and Synthetic Minipleat V-Cell, SMV-M14-2424;
Airflow Products: AFP30;
Columbus Industries: High Efficiency Mini Pleat and SL-3 Ring Panel;
Filtration Group: AeroStar "C-Series" Polyester Panel Filter and;
AeroStar FP-98 Minipleat V-Bank Filter.
Better protection for tanks, tents, and other military equipment is a high priority. A great deal of U.S. Defense Department funds are being expended to research ways to provide this protection. As a result even the "research" market will be significant.
Private companies that have reason to believe they might be targets, e.g., Haliburton, also are a substantial market.
Post offices initially appeared to be a substantial market after the anthrax attack in the U.S. However, the high level of concern has now diminished and there are few ongoing programs to provide protection. It should be remembered, though, that it would only take one more incident to create that market.
The bulk of the market (75 percent) would initially be in the U.S. or for U.S. personnel and installations abroad. However, depending on the pattern of future attacks, the markets in other countries could suddenly develop.
This market, which includes items such as HEPA-filtered tents, in total will be $400 million worldwide.
Air quality in many hospitals has deteriorated to a point that airborne transmission of infectious disease has become a significant problem. Given the fact that many infections are transmitted via the airborne route, adequate ventilation becomes more critical than ever. Newly discovered strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria make infection control one of the top priorities for healthcare providers. The SARS epidemic and more recent bird flu incidences are prime examples. The ever-increasing numbers of orthopedic replacement procedures and organ transplants make sterile operating room, isolation room and general patient room air quality critical issues in patient care.
To minimize the risk of airborne infections during orthopedic surgery, practitioners have demanded laminar flow operating rooms. Also, many surgeons operate in fully encapsulated suits with HEPA-filtered breathing air and filtered inhaled air. In essence, these operating rooms are cleanrooms with efficiencies as low as the Class 10 range. Interestingly, surgeons are increasing their use of encapsulated suits out of concern for their own well-being, as well as for their patients' benefit. The high-speed cutting tools used in orthopedic surgery create significant aerosols from blood and fluids at the wound site. Therefore, any blood-borne pathogens present in these fluids could be inhaled, infecting the operating room staff.
Airborne infectious particles are a potential source of hospital infections. Control of airborne microorganisms depends on measures consistent with aseptic technique as well as on contamination control connected with ventilation. Infectious contaminants transmitted by the airborne route are most commonly fungal, bacterial, and viral. Although infections acquired by the airborne route make up a relatively small portion of nosocomial, or hospital-acquired, infections, the outcome to the patient of these infections can be grave.
In addition to traditional applications, there is a whole range of new applications in healthcare. The biggest opportunity is to expand the use of local cleanroom concepts to patient rooms. Also nursing homes, dental facilities, and other health-related facilities will need to consider investing in cleanoom technology.
The basic market is limited to orthopedic operating rooms, laboratories, isolation rooms, burn treatment centers and 5 percent of central air delivery systems.
The expanded market potential is much larger and involves the full range of applications where virus destruction would be cost effective (i.e., cost of patient care exceeds cost of system installation.) In addition to the orthopedic operating rooms, it includes 50 percent of all operating rooms, 50 percent of intensive care units, dental surgeries, blood transfusion centers, maternity wards and 25 percent of central air delivery systems.
Food processing, storage and transportation
Improving air quality to enhance product safety and shelf life has been receiving more emphasis in the food-processing industry. Air can serve as a transportation medium for microorganisms with the help of dust particles and water spray suspended in air. Surface contamination from airborne bio-aerosols can result in shortened shelf life of high quality products. Poor quality air is caused by contamination from sources in and around the plant.
Consumer demand for fresh foods with few preservatives is driving the need for clean air in production facilities. Fresher foods are more vulnerable to airborne contaminants. In many foods, packaging a pure product to obtain longer product shelf life is directly related to controlling these microrganisms; at the same time, tight control on the air and gases involved in the food processes and packaging is required.
There is a market in the fresh fruit and vegetable industry, especially in tropical climates where inventory losses due to ethylene-induced premature ripening, mold attack and decay are often enormous and are, therefore, a significant factor in determining final profit.
The markets for fruit and vegetables are becoming global. Over the last two decades, major expansions have occurred in international shipments. For example, overseas producers in New Zealand, Australia, Chile and South Africa are now supplying their in-season produce to North America during the winter months. This creates a need for systems to protect food shipments in on-route warehouses, containers, ships and trucks.
The expanded role for cleanroom technology will cause a market in 2010 which is twice the size of the traditional market of $200 million.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology
This market is considered traditional. But the biotechnology segment will show robust growth.
This industry requires cleanrooms not only to protect the product, but also to protect the worker. About 5 percent of biotechnology plants currently utilize cells or products known to be pathogenic or derived from genetic engineering techniques.
Biotechnology is not new; microorganisms have been used for thousands of years to produce foods, beverages, and other fermented substances. Over the past 100 years, they have been used to produce antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids. The potential value of biological processes has been greatly enhanced in the past 10 to 15 years through the development of recombinant DNA technology (sometimes referred to as genetic engineering), cell fusion (including monoclonal antibody production technology), protein engineering and new bioprocesses. These advances have provided powerful new tools to manipulate organisms at the molecular and cellular level in order to create new products, produce larger quantities of rare products, improve the quality and safety of existing products, and improve the speed and efficiency of manufacturing based on biological processes.
Firms in biotechnology fall into two basic groups: small, new companies that were started to exploit discoveries made in the 1970s in recombinant DNA and monoclonal antibody technologies; and manufacturing firms, predominantly pharmaceutical, chemical and agribusiness. Like the biopharmaceutical business itself, contract manufacturing of biotech drugs also holds strong growth potential. These groups are sometimes linked as an "industry" because they share such common concerns as regulations, patent protection, and research and development needs.
With continued steady growth in traditional pharmaceutical applications and more dynamic growth in the biotechnology sector, the market for cleanrooms will grow to $600 million per year worldwide by 2010. The U.S. will still be the largest purchaser but Asia will be closing the gap.
Medical devices
The Medical Device market is composed of myriad market segments devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of virtually every disease or disorder that can affect the human body. The United States is among the top three markets for medical devices, followed by Europe and Japan. Several emerging sectors in this market, such as molecular diagnostics and nucleic acid probes, blood glucose monitors, and point-of-care tests, are forecast to show solid growth.
Contamination concerns in the manufacturing of medical devices are very similar to those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
The market for new medical device cleanrooms is considered traditional and will grow to $150 million per year by 2010.
The investment in protection from bio-terrorism will have a profound effect on the cleanroom industry. As shown in Figure 2, the market for bio-terrorism protection cleanrooms will grow to 30 percent of the total market by 2010. Nontraditional applications will represent 50 percent of the total $2.2 million spent for new life sciences cleanrooms in 2010. III

New global partnership to save lives at birth
Quotes of note from the Saving Lives at Birth launch event
At an event in Washington, D.C. on 9 March 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, Special advisor to the Prime Minister of Norway on global health, Dr. Tore Godal, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Melinda Gates, CEO of Grand Challenges Canada, Dr. Peter A. Singer, and The World Bank Vice President for Human Development, Tamar Manuelyan Atinc, addressed the critical need for innovations that go beyond conventional approaches and have the potential to save the lives of millions of women and babies in the hardest to reach communities of the world.
Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
"Healthy mothers and newborns are the foundation of healthy and prosperous societies," she said. "We must partner to develop new technologies and seek new ways of delivering solutions to women and children who need them most. This initiative will speed up progress we're already making—and will lead to new kinds of progress that we have yet to conceive."
Jonas Store, Foreign Minister of Norway
"The day of birth is still the most dangerous day for the mother and the newborn. This is the most brutal expression of discrimination against women," said Mr Store. "Capturing new opportunities in innovation can make a big contribution to a safe birth and women's health."
Peter Singer, CEO of Grand Challenges Canada
Mr Singer expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with committed partners toward saving lives at birth around the world: "It's a privilege for Canada and Grand Challenges Canada to be here with the United States, with Norway and other partners, tackling what really is the mother of all ethical challenges," he said. "It's just not right that your wife or my wife, compared to a woman in Africa in childbirth is 135 times as likely to die as your or my wife. That's not right. So we're very privileged to be working with you, applying innovation because innovation saves lives."
He also expressed his faith in the developing world's capacity to bring about their own solutions to problems they face with a little help: "We did a study where we went and sought out innovations in Africa. And we found many, many innovations in the pipeline, we called them stagnant technologies because they're great ideas but they're stuck. There's no mentorship, there's no capital, nothing like what we're providing today."
Tamar Manuelyan Atinc, Vice President, Human Development, The World Bank
Ms Manuelyan Atinc spoke of the effectiveness of proven innovations like performance-based financing and the use of web-enabled applications: "Paying for results for verifiable and verified results saves the lives of mothers and babies," she said. "I think the beauty of this initiative is that it's going to come from unexpected sources, which is why we're launching this…in particular (from) the young people. I recently was introduced to a concept of positive deviance where the philosophy is that solutions exist within the community. And what we need to do is look and see where different results are and systematically try and understand why in the same community some people are attaining different results. And doing that would lead us I think to many innovative ways of improving the outcomes."
Dr Rajiv Shah, USAID Administrator
Dr Shah spoke of the desperate need to find new ways to overcome the realities faced by women living in remote locations: "To make advances in maternal and newborn health, our real opportunity lies in harnessing the power of innovation—scientific, technological, and behavioral—to build a continuum of invention from bench to bush," he said. "Innovations in products and the platforms we use to deliver them will allow us to expand our reach to women who will likely never set foot inside a hospital."
He also stressed the importance of continued commitment from donor countries to saving lives of women and children at birth: "… inventing solutions that save lives at birth is a critical part of our national security, it's a critical part of shaping the world we want to live in, and it's a critical part of expressing our values, who we are, to the least fortunate communities around the world…I want to thank you for coming and being part of that expression of our commitment and ask you and invite you to continue to push us to be creative and think differently about how we can get the costs down and the quality and the results up. As we really work through what I think will be a difficult budget environment but one in which we are absolutely committed to continually making the reforms that show the world that for a very, very small investment you can save lives, make the world a fundamentally safer and more prosperous place."

Vehicle2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 ST 2dr Regular Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
ReviewI bought my truck almost as bare as they come. Even so, I love this truck a lot. The V6 has more than enough power to keep this truck moving and the new interior layout is the best in its class in my opinion. The tranny is silky smooth. The ride seems a little bouncy but I think it might be because I drive a sports car most of the time. It's been years since I drove a truck on a regular basis. The center console does rob the use of the center seat but so does the stick shift. I never planned on the center seat being used very much anyway so this doesn't bother me too much. There is quite a bit of storage area behind the seats as well.
Best FeaturesInterior.
Worst FeaturesMove the passenger air bag switch off the dash. It looks a little cheesy there.

kid tats are lame, show how much you care about them with parenting instead of ink.
Hahaha if you really think no other qb would have tried to make that tackle then you're ridiculous because I know vy would have tried
Pretty sure he would have been too busy yelling "Why is my fans booing me!!!!????"
He has made several big tackles one against the dolphins and one against the pats his rookie year.
LOL ... not good when your QB has to make SEVERAL big tackles haha

It was also suggested to use /run instead of /mem for various reasons, including that /mem has a misleading name if it's not actually in memory. Not that I don't appreciate your work, I think it's great that you've already patched mount to have saner behaviour. Anyway, I think that /run is a much better name, given that it already has a sister directory /var/run with the same purpose (but as explained earlier may not be available to mount) >I also suggest using /mem/state or /run/state so one can just use the >/var filesystem for /mem too. > >> 2) Patch those programs using /etc to store state to check for the existence >> of first /var/run and then /run, and use the first found location as the >> location of their state files.

Too many people are used to /etc/mtab or >/etc/resolv.conf and too much software breaks thats prefectly fine >with a symlink already. 4 or 5 links in /etc won't hurt. Most programs won't need /run, /var/run should already be available. I'm thinking for the specific case of mount which is in the process of mounting /var, it'll need /run/mtab. So, programs will know where their state files are, and use that one location for the entire lifetime of the system. If they started using /run, then they'll keep using /run; if they started using /var/run, then they'll continue to do so. If a program has problems reading an old version of its own state file, then it's got bigger problems that are outside the scope of this problem. I thought it was already explained that we'd knowingly be breaking FHS by providing /run, and that we'd spell out its usage in our own policy, so It Is Okay(tm) to use /run for mount's mtab. We wouldn't make exceptions for programs writing state to /etc, because we've defined better places for them to write to. Why are you against moving files? We can provide a symlink from /etc/mtab to /run/mtab to smooth the transition just as we did with /usr/doc. I feel like I'm saying the same stuff over and over again. If I am not being clear on anything, please say so. >> 3) Amend policy to acknowledge /run and specify that programs requiring a >> location to write state to when the system is still being initialised >> (i.e just after the system has booted, prior to /var being mounted) use >> /run; for all other programs the FHS applies. > >Explicitly name the programs allowed to not use /run instead of /var >and make /var mandatory for machine writeable files. Sure, eventually the policy will require programs to not write state to /etc, once the infrastructure is there to allow programs to behave correctly, and bugs can be filed. As soon as I feel there's sufficient support for my plan, I'll do the work to get it moving, but right now I'm still waiting for more comments from my learned colleagues (i.e. waiting for someone to flame me :-) -- firstname.lastname@example.com http://people.debian.org/~jaq

how we count the passages in cell cultures? - (Jun/22/2010 )
Hi to all!
A small detail (but important one!) that after 3 years of doing cell cultures, comes up.
When we say passage 0? when we defrost a cell vial from -80 degrees? Or the passage number continues from where we left it before we froze the cells?
How we should count then??
Thanks in advance!
I have always continued with the number at which the cells were frozen down, adding 1 for each passage. I know some people do it the other way, starting again fresh each time they thaw cells, and some people start the passage from when the cells were brought into the lab as some indication of how long they have been active in the lab/lab drift from parent line.
I don't think starting again when thawing is a good idea, as it gives a false measure of the newness of the cell line, compared to the rest of the labs using them around the world. For instance, some cell lines are sold from the ATCC as passage 400 (or whatever), I think starting again would be stupid as passage 400 is as early as you are going to get them if you need new ones, so saying that yours are passage 3 is wrong.
I agree with bob1 that you should continue the numerical sequence as this gives an immediate indication of how long the cells have been cultured. However although passage will give you a rough guide of how old a cell line is, you have no idea of the number of cell generations i.e. population doublings(pd's), the cells have undergone as you dont know the split ratio(s) used i.e. 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 etc. Pd's are a much more accurate measure of a cells age.
I would advise seeding at a specific density/cm2, and then counting the cells at confluence, measuring the time (hours) it takes. This way you can estimate the pd's and it will give you an idea of the maximum number achievable per vessel (cm2) or volume for suspension cells. You can then use this info to determine how many pd's your cells will undergo by splitting back at various ratios and the time it will take to reach confluence again.
Also if you are routinely storing cryopreserved cells at -80c, you should consider storage in liquid or gas phase nitrogen i.e. -130c to -196c, as this is the only way you can guarantee long term survival of cells!
Thank you Bob and Retroman!
In this way though, which I don't think has been followed so far in my lab, somebody can keep on working with a cell line at passage 500 which can be tricky, or misleading. But I don't see another way...
Would you have a limit lets say of passages that you would work with?
I know that this depends strongly on the cell type. For example for HEK293?
Personally, i would stop using the cells once i see some changes to the cell morphology and growth pattern (how quickly they grow, in particular). No experience with HEK293 cells so can't comment...
Obviously it depends on the passage number...
It depends on wht kind of work u r doing with those cells and kind of cells...
For Cell based assays I use hek with very low passage numbers... higher passage number gives discrepancy in the data compared to previous data with lower passage numbers... Some cell lines like huvec ppl dont use more than 10th passage...
For other kinds of work... like protein and molecular studies.. its okay with higher passages... just search the papers for the kind of cell line u r using, kind of assay and max passage number they used.....

Along with the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building is one of those iconic structures that provides an immediately recognizable symbol of one of the greatest places to visit-New York City.
Last week, along with writers from Conde Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure, I was invited to take a behind the scenes visit to this famous site where over 550 million dollars and more than two years had been spent to, not only bring it back to its former 1930 Art Deco glory, but to also to move it forward to meet the 21st century standards of environmental conservation.
During the tour, we learned of the history of this building located on 34th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan. This was the site of the original Waldorf Astoria, and I found it interesting that it was no myth that Mohawk Indians were recruited for construction on the high beams because of their reputed unique abilities to work at great heights.
We were shown many of the building's major renovations including the repair of the lobby's beautiful marble; the installation of originally intended chandeliers; and the restoration the main lobby's anemometer, a device that measures wind speed and direction from a weather station on the 86th floor.
We also learned that the building's famous plastic gel lights will be updated so that there will be well over the 405 color combinations that presently exist. The top thirty floors of the building from the 72nd floor to the base of the TV antennae are illuminated from dusk until 2 a.m.
Then it was on to the highlight of the trip.
Sources usually report that the Empire State Building is a 102-story skyscraper. But that's WRONG! A nondescript white door on the 102th floor was opened for us, and we climbed up a set of stairs that led to the 103rd floor-the area located at the base of the antennae!
There are no tall fences here as there are down below and it was a bit windy, but I had the time of my life.
And, while views from the 86th and 102nd floors can be spectacular, here are pictures from the 103rd!
Great time, but what about tips for avoiding long lines while visiting this famous attraction? It was suggested that, to avoid the crush, arrive early, visit late, and consider purchasing the building's express pass. If you've already purchased tickets, you can pay a supplement to buy this pass.

We called ourselves Surf Berbere as we are working with the local Berber people to provide you with an unforgetable Moroccan experience. The Berbers are traditionally mountain dwelling folk indiginous to Morocco. Many of them refer to themselves as being 'Amazigh' meaning 'free men' now they are surfing!
Keep your eyes open for the red Surf Berbere goat's head logo around Taghazout to see who we are working with.
Surf Berbere was set up by a surfer who fell in love with the local area, gave up his mundane London job to provide what he hopes is the most complete surfing experience in Morocco.
We have three brand new apartments right on the waterfront. Every morning you will wake up to 180 degree views of an azur blue ocean peppered with hundreds of tiny fishing boats. Each apartment is equipped with bathroom and cooking facilities as well as satetlite TV and high speed WiFi internet access.
Historically surfing holidays meant staying in accommodation near the local waves, jostling for the breaks with crowds of surfers. Our "surfari" experience delivers you to empty breaks that only the most die-hard locals know about in our 4x4 land cruisers, where you will get advice from some of the best surfers in Morocco.
There are plenty of good quality beach breaks on offer for all standards of surfing. Whether it's been a while since you've managed to get some water time or you're a complete begginer, there's a selection of suitable breaks for all standards.
