City wins rental certificate ruling
Appellate court rejects landlord's quest to make measure unconstitutional
Published 10:16 pm, Tuesday, April 15, 2014
City lawyers are hailing a recent state appellate court decision that affirms the constitutionality of a municipal law mandating that landlords must obtain rental certificates before renting out an apartment in Schenectady.
"This will make sure the apartment is safe and free of anything that would cause health issues," said Assistant Corporation Counsel Carl Falotico. "It's important to make sure renters are living in safe conditions."
In 2007, Andrew Wisoff, a landlord from Niskayuna who owns several rental properties in Schenectady, took the city to court in a bid to declare the rental certificate ordinance of the city code unconstitutional. He had argued that the local law violated his right from "unwarranted and unreasonable searches" under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the state constitution, according to the decision rendered last week.
Wisoff represented himself.
Former Assistant City Corporation Counsel Frank Salamone argued for the city.
The justices with the Supreme Court Appellate Division 3rd Department wrote that the rental certificate ordinance "expressly required either the consent of the property owner of the issuance of a valid search warrant in order for the building inspector to conduct the administrative inspection."
That condition is "sufficient to safeguard plaintiff's constitutional rights."
Falotico hopes the legal decision will prompt Wisoff, who has multiple code violation cases pending cases in City Court, to comply with the law. "To him (Wisoff) and others, this is the end of the line for them and now I can make a credible argument that it (the local law) is not unconstitutional."
Wisoff is being represented by attorney Michael Horan, who did not return calls Tuesday.

Chad Clifton, Aaron Kampman of Green Bay Packers Appear to Be GoneMarch 5, 2010
This article is found at WiscoSportsTalk.com
Contract negotiations between the Packers and unrestricted free agents LT Chad Clifton and LB Aaron Kampman were not settled by last night's 11 pm deadline.
As a result, both veterans are now free to negotiate with other NFL teams.
The Packers have stated that they want to retain the services of both players, but it appears the two will be playing elsewhere next season.
Contract negotiations with Clifton's agent Jimmy Sexton reportedly heated up as the deadline approached, but still no deal was reached before the deadline. Another NFL agent stated that Sexton was seeking a similar deal to what LT Flozell Adams received from the Dallas Cowboys two years ago.
Clifton remains productive despite his age (33 years old) and recent injuries, but Adams' deal was for six years at an average of $7.17 mil per season. It also included $16 mil in guaranteed money. Adams was a year younger than Clifton at the time of receiving his deal and was also coming off another Pro Bowl and injury-free season in 2007.
It is believed that Sexton is playing hardball with the Green Bay Packers because he is aware of the weak talent pool at tackle in free agency his offseason, and he knows the Packers do not want to be forced to find an immediate starter at the position in the draft.
While it is still very possible that Clifton rejoins the team (hopefully at a better price than listed above), 30-year-old LB/DE Aaron Kampman appears to be as good as gone. Kampman is only four months into his rehabilitation from reconstructive knee surgery, and the Packers really just don't need him back all that badly.
Kampman appears to have several suitors, including the division rival Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, Tennessee Titans, and Detroit Lions. As well, the news just broke that Kampman is apparently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top free-agent priority.
It was also reported earlier this afternoon that Clifton is visiting Washington, D.C. to speak with the Redskins. The Redskins are in need of a LT after the retirement of Chris Samuels, and the Packers are reportedly very firm on an average salary of about $5 mil per season.
If the Redskins' aggressiveness towards free agency in the past carries over into this offseason, then it's hard to believe that Clifton will back with the Pack next season. But as I said earlier, Clifton's agent Jimmy Sexton likes to play hardball.
Other unrestricted free agent news
Punter Jeremy Kapinos was also not retained by the Pack and is not expected to be back next season.

Abstract: In a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) nodes are self-organized without any infrastructure support: they move arbitrarily causing the network to experience quick and random topology changes, have to act as routers as well as forwarding nodes, some of them do not communicate directly with each other. Routing and IP address auto-configuration are among the most challenging tasks in the MANET domain. Swarm Intelligence is a property of natural and artificial systems involving minimally skilled individuals that exhibit a collective intelligent behavior derived from the interaction with each other by means of the environment. Colonies of ants and bees are the most prominent examples of swarm intelligence systems. Flexibility, robustness, and self-organization make swarm intelligence a successful design paradigm for difficult combinatorial optimization problems, such as routing and IP address allocation in MANET. This paper proposes AutoBeeConf, a new IP address auto-configuration algorithm based on a bee swarm labor that may be applied to large scale MANET with low complexity, low communication overhead, even address distribution, and low latency. Both the protocol description and the simulation experiments are presented to demonstrate the advantages of AutoBeeConf over two known algorithms, namely Buddy and Antbased protocols. Eventually, future research directions are established, especially toward the principle that swarm intelligence paradigms may be usefully employed in the redefinition or modifications of each layer in the TCP/IP suite in such a way that it can efficiently work even in the infrastructure-less and dynamic nature of MANET environment.

The Albertian Institute of Management(AIM), Approved by AICTE, is the newest venture of the St. Albert's College, Cochin. Affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, and approved by AICTE, New Delhi, the institute offers full time Masters Programme in Management (MBA). Considering the phenomenal growth of the City of Cochin into a booming metropolis, its emergence as the unchallenged business and industrial capital of Kerala and the great influx of new industrial ventures into Cochin and its suburbs, a world of opportunities now unfolds before the young, well qualified business professionals. There is still a dearth of business schools that offer quality management education in Kerala. AIM is the end result of a determined move to step into this gap and give shape to a management school par excellence.

whats a good diy tube preamp kit
i am looking to add a tube preamp in the future to my system i have as follows turntable and a dynaco st-70 i would like some input for tube preamp to add with volume control
When it comes to kits, Broskies Aikido will be hard to beat
I second that. I have a 5687/6N1P kit running and it sounds superb. I love it. A lot of gain though (of course depends which tubes you use). Depends what you are looking for.
I'm collecting parts now for a cathode follower, point to point job.
Also itching to build my first power section!:D
ok so is that the only kit that you guys would use im new to building amps and preamps so what tubes would you use in this preamp also when i went to the site the preamp is out of stock any other ideas for a preamp
JB is a busy man. If you can wait a few weeks he will have new stock soon.
His boards are of the highest quality and for me were a great learning experience as the boards are flexible with the choice of tubes you can use and the sizes of components on the board also.
Also jumpers for different heaters and a selection switch for 2 different coupling caps. I use 2 in parallel, PIO and Auricap.
as far as other boards go I can't comment being a newbie myself.
Tubes: depends how much gain you want first. To some extent this is personal preference.
when you say gain do you mean the amount of signal bost coming from the sorce
Is your source just a turntable or do you also use line-level inputs (like a CD player, tape, MP3, radio, etc)?
yes, gain is the amount of signal amplification you need from the source. Gain for a phono stage is typically around 100 or so and gain for line level stuff can be 1-30 or so.
I'll also recommend Broskies' Aikido, but It's the only one I've built so my experience is limited.
It's quite well documented all over this forum and is flexible to tube choice, you can use 9-pin mini's or octals (John Broskie (Tubecad) sells both flavor boards), and you can select tubes to get the gain you need.
Keep in mind that this would be a semi-kit, you'll still need to buy/build a chassis, transformer, passive components and other misc parts. Depending on your skill level, this route may or may not be the best first step.
If you just want to build a kit with lots of instructions/documentation and not have to source additional parts, check out bottlehead's tube offerings, among others.
If you want phone inputs and line level inputs you'll need 2 stereo Aikido PCB's (or 4 mono PCB's). The phono input requires much higher gain than line inputs and some other equalization. You could also just build a phono pre (no line level inputs)
boywonder that sounds good the only thing i will use the preamp for is the turntable but how do i control the volume do i just use a sterio pot
what do you all think of this kit for a first time tube preamp will it work with my dynaco amp
Broskies new kit with onboard supply would be nice fore you
And at the price I wouldnt think of anything else
BUT, as you only play vinyl, and do have a nice Dynaco
you might be better suited with a good riia(prepre)
I would think that Broskie could get the right parts together fore you
With the right setup you might even get away with a passive preamp with no switches, and as simple as it gets
Do you use MM or MC, with low or highoutput ?
Or do you already have a nice phono amp(riia), stepup trafos or whatever ?
It really is a very important part in your setup
Question is, have you any clew about how this works at all
I mean, even a simple tubekit does demand some experience

Lancaster's new mayor Susie Charles is looking forward to a memorable year ahead.
Conservative councillor Susie Charles, 65, was elected as mayor of the district for the first time during a special ceremony at lancaster Town Hall.
And she hopes to use her time wisely by helping raise the profile of our city.
She said: "I would like to work in tandem with the city council to raise awareness of Lancaster and how people can invest in the city."
Coun Charles's mayoral charities this year are Hounds for Heroes and the UK Sepsis Trust.
Hounds for Heroes provides specially trained assistance dogs to injured and disabled men and women of both the UK Armed Forces and the emergency services, while the UK Sepsis Trust is a non-profit registered charity aiming to raise awareness and help the way the healthcare system deals with sepsis.
The year will also be a particularly poignant one for Coun Charles, since it coincides with the World War One commemorations.
Coun Charles's grandfather, Lt John Greenwood, who served with the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment, died in Ypres on May 2 1915.
She said: "This will be a really interesting year for me.
"I feel very close to all the World War One celebrations happening this year, and I am honoured that I am mayor for this year."
Coun Charles's Tory colleague Coun Helen Helme, herself Lancaster mayor seven years ago, is to be the new deputy mayor for the year.
Coun Charles is a ward councillor in Ellel, along with Coun Helme.
She was first elected to the city council in May 1999.
Since then she has been re-elected three times, in May 2003, May 2007 and May 2011.
Coun Charles, who has three grown up children, is also a Lancashire county councillor, representing Lancaster Rural East.

*Not to worry, Canada. This man is insane.*
An American legislator called Canada "parasitic" on Wednesday for siphoning U.S. dollars to Canada with low prescription drug prices while his country does "all the innovation."
Canada benefits financially from America's role as a world leader in medical advances, Republican Senator Bob Corker charged in an exchange with a Liberal MP as she testified before a U.S. Senate committee.
"One of the things that has troubled me greatly about our system is the fact that we pay more for pharmaceuticals and devices than other countries, and yet it's not really our country so much that's the problem, it's the parasitic relationship that Canada and France and other countries have towards us," the Tennessee lawmaker told Carolyn Bennett.
"Meaning that you set prices and unfortunately all the innovation, all the technological breakthroughs, just about, take place in our country .… You benefit from us, and we pay for that, and I resent that."
Bennett, a family doctor and one-time minister of state for public health, was one of five people testifying before the Senate special committee on aging. The panel, chaired by Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl and including newly minted Sen. Al Franken, was examining how successful health-care systems keep their costs low while maintaining quality care.
She seemed puzzled by Corker's remarks, reminding him that drug pricing was a global concern, not part of a plot by Canada.
"It's the drug companies, sir, and they're multinational — it's nothing about the United States of America," she told him.
Their debate comes as U.S. Democratic senator Byron Dorgan from North Dakota is preparing to make a legislative push in the days to come that would legally allow Americans to buy cheaper Canadian drugs.
Dorgan will introduce an amendment to the health-care reform legislation currently before the Senate finance committee that would legalize so-called re-importation. Under current U.S. law, only pharmaceutical companies are allowed to import prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration into the United States.
Drug companies import more than US $40 billion in drugs into the United States, while drug wholesalers and consumers are shut out of the global marketplace. Consequently, Dorgan has long maintained, Americans pay higher prices for prescription drugs than anywhere else in the world.
News of the pending amendment, to be introduced when the health-care reform bill makes it to the Senate floor, has alarmed some Canadian observers who fear re-importation could lead to shortage of drugs in Canada.
Bennett herself raised that concern in her testimony on Wednesday.
"Please don't think that you can import cheap drugs from Canada … it will last us about 36 days," she told Corker.
He replied: "That's a silly way of dealing with it."
"My goal over time is for us not to pay more than you, because you set prices and cause us to pay more when we're doing all the innovation," Corker added.
"In essence, the Canadian government and its citizens are taking advantage of our citizens by virtue of setting prices that are lower than competitive prices."

Assam: No laxity in verifying identity of applicants, says BSNL
K Anurag in Guwahati | November 13, 2006 16:07 IST
Even as the Assam police turned the heat on mobile phone service providers in Assam on suspicion that United Liberation Front of Asom militants were using cell phones illegally taking advantage of loopholes in the process of providing connection, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, Assam circle, on Monday asserted that it strictly followed TRAI guidelines for verifying identity of applicant before allotting the mobile phone connection.
Assam police alleged that ULFA ultras in the state were found to be using mobile phones allotted in the name of different persons.
The police stumbled upon a case in Tinsukia district where a Cell One SIM card was found to be changing hands of five persons and was being used by militants.
The police was even contemplating to lodge a complaint with TRAI in this regard.
Tinsukia district police recently handed over lists of 97 Cell One subscribers to the BSNL authority for proper verification of their identity.
In Sivasagar district of upper Assam, police unearthed a racket involved in procuring mobile phone connections for ULFA militants from a private sector mobile phone provider.
However, senior BSNL officials including the chief general manager of Assam circle G Rajaram denied the company was showing any laxity in verifying the identity of applicants before granting Cell One connection.
"We are very strict in following TRAI guidelines and it has even affected our business in the state. We follow a very rigid customer identification method. The BSNL people can't be involved in giving Cell One connection to militants. Probably such SIM cards were handed over to militants illegally by some customers by hand," the senior BSNL official said.
Regarding signals, mobile phone networks of neighbouring countries including Bangladesh being available in some of the border areas of Assam, the BSNL official said that the matter was already brought to the notice of the Union Communication Ministry and a move was afoot to augment the Cell One network in the vicinity of international border areas.

Very young students will be able to make a cost/benefit chart for the Country Mouse after hearing the classic story.
Recently published, but likely written between 1958 and 1962, What Pet Should I Get? is the delightful tale of a definitive childhood event: selecting a family pet. The activities in this lesson focus on the decision-making process. The text, told in the classic Seuss cadence and rhyme scheme, does an excellent job a describing the many choices the siblings encounter while trying to pick the perfect pet in a limited amount of time. With the repeating line "MAKE UP YOUR MIND" this picture book is a great tool for teaching choices and decision-making.
This activity provides a fun way to explore concept of economic decision making. In the lesson, students are given a limited number of "tokens" and asked to exchange those tokens for goods in preparation for pioneering in a new land. They are then asked to identify what they have left behind and give reasons for their choices. Finally, they are asked to identify the costs and benefits and the opportunity costs of their choices.
The following lessons come from the Council for Economic Education's library of publications. Clicking the publication title or image will take you to the Council for Economic Education Store for more detailed information.
This publication contains 16 stories that complement the K-2 Student Storybook. Specific to grades K-2 are a variety of activities, including making coins out of salt dough or cookie dough; a song that teaches students about opportunity cost and decisions; and a game in which students learn the importance of savings.
11 out of 18 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
Created specifically for middle school mathematics teachers, this publication shows how mathematics concepts and knowledge can be used to develop economic and personal financial understandings.

This year I have had the opportunity to visit my son and his family in Arizona. In my time there, sometimes I go to relax in the Jacuzzi. While I am relaxing, the mountains stand out to me. I am a native of South Carolina, and I have known mountains to be lush with greenery and vibrant in the color. All my life, I have lived around mountains of the south; and I have appreciated the richness of their daily offering. In many ways, mountains lift me up spiritually and fill my soul. When I am struggling or at peace, I am always refreshed by their presence.
In my life-long affection for the mountains, I have come to realize that they remind me constantly of God's presence, His assurance, His connection to me, and my connection to God. I too am reminded that the Bible speaks of our having faith, for example, as faith the size of a mustard seed or if we have faith enough to move a mountain. I believe, that great works of God require small works of faith on our behalf.
When I view the mountains in Arizona, there comes to me a spiritual feeling of closeness to God. Too, what I see is that I need to have the faith that can move a mountain if I want God to work on my behalf. It is not so much for me that I actually can move the mountain but more so that I know God could and would if I have the faith required. I am certain that God only works when we find within our souls that we trust God more than anyone or anything. I am certain in my soul that God fully requires this factor, or we will wait or never have our desires met. I choose personally to view the mountain as a challenge for my soul to find the faith within to invite God to be my ally in daily life.
The mountains in Arizona hold a special warmth for my spirit than I have not known before. It is as if I melt in my soul when I look at the peaks and soft colors that change with every move of the sun and clouds. I find that if I stop momentarily and am able to remain still in the moments I view the lovely gift of God in the form of the mountains, I find a richness in my spirit I have not recognized before. There is a glow for me personally that pervades from the multi-colored rocky, cactus-filled, surfaces. There is a spiritual fulfillment in these western masterpieces for me personally. I look forward now each time I visit Arizona to the time I have to view the mountains. I particularly note the mountains when I relax in the Jacuzzi and when I am out taking a walk. For me, these mountains remind me of my faith and the portion I choose, my connection to God, and His working in my life. I know in reality that the sun will come up and shine on the mountains and their beauty will be as certain as God, His presence in my life, and the amount of faith required of me for God to perform His wonders. Furthermore, I am reminded that the mountains are only a grain of sand in the universe of God's creation. Yet for me, they are a solid base of my knowledge of God in a very personal way. I am reminded of myself that faith, God, the mountain, and my soul's currency require that I am mindful and thankful for all.©

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 8, 1970:
- Kansas University Chancellor Laurence Chalmers said that the mood of the campus was calm, not tense, despite recent developments such as the shooting of a student and a call for a strike. Black faculty and students were reported to be on strike seeking the reinstatement of Gary Jackson, a former assistant to the dean of men, or a satisfactory explanation for his dismissal the previous summer. At about 1:30 p.m., roughly 100 young people marched along Jayhawk Boulevard, chanting as they marched and spray-painting passing city buses and a Southwestern Bell truck. No arrests appeared to have been made.
- A 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, Nev., had entered the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house, 1911 Stewart Ave., and had stolen two billfolds and some cash before members saw the intruder and pursued him as he ran from the building. TKE members asked a police officer on routine patrol to help stop the intruder, who was later arrested in North Lawrence and brought to the Douglas County Jail.

LOL I saw daves post above & deleted mine
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Raila, Mudavadi rivalry rattles ODM
Saturday February 4 2012
Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his deputy Musalia Mudavadi took separate roads to meet ODM delegates as concern grew over the future of the Orange party.
While Mr Odinga was meeting delegates from Ukambani region, Mr Mudavadi was meeting others at the Coast as the two leaders were drumming up support for the upcoming delegates conference to pick the party's flagbearer in the general elections.
But even as the two leaders were speaking to the delegates, concern was growing that Mr Odinga's opponents might secretly back Mr Mudavadi to knock the premier out of the presidential race.
An uncharacteristically bold Mr Mudavadi has declared that he will take on Mr Odinga in a contest for the ODM ticket and has insisted that the party primaries be conducted at the county level. (READ: Mudavadi vows to run against Raila)
But key Odinga allies like Bondo MP Oburu Oginga, the PM's brother, and ODM chief whip Jakoyo Midiwo have asked Mr Mudavadi to drop his demand that polls be held in the counties. (READ: ODM primaries for top seat to be done in counties)
"Even in America I do not think we can have a scenario where President Barack Obama changes positions with his deputy Joe Biden to run for the presidency," Mr Midiwo said.
He expressed fears that Mr Mudavadi's activities were causing friction in the party and urged him to "slow down".
However, the unarticulated concern by Mr Odinga's supporters is that if the party uses counties as electoral units, the PM's adversaries might manipulate supporters in populous regions such as Rift Valley, Central and Eastern to back Mr Mudavadi.
The strategy would help knock Mr Odinga out of the presidential race at the party level.
Mr Odinga's principal rivals, Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Eldoret North MP William Ruto and Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka, draw strong support from their backyards in Central, Rift Valley and Ukambani regions.
The three have declared their intention to block Mr Odinga from succeeding President Kibaki.
On Saturday, Roads minister Franklin Bett, who supports Mr Odinga, told the Sunday Nation he was aware that some delegates allied to the PM's rivals were planning to stop Mr Odinga by voting for Mr Mudavadi.
The minister said that Kalenjin voters have been misled to believe that Mr Odinga was the cause of their problems.
However, he said he was in ODM to stay despite the fact that the party no longer enjoyed the support of the community.
Speaking to the Sunday Nation, Mr Mudavadi expressed confidence that if the primaries were held at the county level he would floor Mr Odinga.
His proposal is that the 47 counties be used as polling centres, bringing together 60 women, men and youth each per county to form a collegiate.
These would create 180 delegates for each of the counties. After the vote, to be supervised by the electoral commission, the results would be transmitted to a national tallying centre where the winner would be called.
The DPM reckons that the system would not only be easier to manage but also cheaper. He put the cost at Sh40 million.
Mr Odinga's group has insisted on the traditional National Delegates Conference.
"I am sure to put up a good fight. Let us go beyond fear. Those stuck with the NDC are conservative," he said in a phone interview.
For the past three weeks, Mr Mudavadi has been aggressively criss-crossing the country seeking support ahead of the nomination contest.
Waking up to the harsh reality that his deputy, who is also the Local Government minister, is determined to snatch the ODM ticket from him, Mr Odinga responded by hitting the stump to woo delegates ahead of the party primaries.
However, Mr Odinga is a consummate political operator with strong organisational skills, grassroot contacts and resources likely to be deployed in the campaigns.
And since the next election appears to be his last chance, it is a situation that compels him to use all the tools at his disposal to secure the ticket.
Given the high stakes, especially for Mr Odinga, snatching the ticket from him will be no walk in the park for Mr Mudavadi.
The PM's camp has reacted with unusual urgency to downplay what is increasingly shaping up to be a formidable challenge to the ODM ticket.
He has lined up a series of meetings across the country that will see him visit Eastern, Turkana, Western and Rift Valley by the end of the week.
In addition to possible backing from the populous Rift Valley, Central and Coast regions, Mr Mudavadi, who has been accused of living in the premier's shadow, is emboldened by the support of his numerous Luhya community which forms the largest voting bloc in ODM.
That is why the DPM remains an invaluable asset for Mr Odinga who invited him to be his running mate in the 2007 presidential race.
It is likely that Mr Odinga's opponents may accuse Mr Mudavadi of betraying the man who resurrected his political career in the run-up to the 2007 election.
In his campaign, the ODM deputy leader has been out to destroy the aura of invincibility that has cloaked Mr Odinga.
A picture returns of a man determined to demonstrate that Mr Odinga is beatable — and in ODM.
The Sabatia MP argues that in a party which roots for devolution and democracy, the county election system would broaden popular participation in the election and strengthen the party at the grassroots.
Considered mild-mannered, Mr Mudavadi is determined to demonstrate that he has the temperament, character and know-how to lead the party into a General Election.
During his tour of Rift Valley, some ODM supporters told Mr Mudavadi that they are persuaded that he was in a position to deliver victory in the next election compared to Mr Odinga who is seen as having made enemies of key politicians who have ganged up against him.
"He is attracting support in the region. We were frank with him because we wanted to have a feeling of what was happening on the ground," said Mr Kiptum Binott, the ODM Mogotio branch chairman.
Having worked with former President Moi, who at one time appointed him vice-president, Mr Mudavadi enjoys a warm relationship with Rift Valley residents.
His meeting in Kabarnet, Baringo County was dubbed a "homecoming" by the locals who say he was born there when his father Moses Mudamba Mudavadi worked in the region as an education officer.
Keiyo County Council chairman Simon Kibet says Rift residents with grievances against Mr Odinga might seize the opportunity to settle scores against the PM.
A section of the Kalenjin is accusing the PM of allegedly abandoning them with many shifting their loyalty to the URP, headed by Mr Odinga's nemesis, Eldoret North MP Wiliam Ruto.
"I'm not in ODM, but it is my prayer that the delegates pick Mudavadi. We are okay with that; in fact, he has come to our county, and I think people liked him," he said.
A review of his programme shows that Mr Mudavadi has focused his energies on areas seen to be drifting away from the PM like the Rift Valley, Coast, and parts of Western region.
The Deputy Prime Prime minister has so far toured and met party delegates in Busia, Kwale, Trans Nzoia, Kilifi, Taveta, Kajiado, Nandi, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Baringo, Uasin Gishu, Kakamega, Bungoma and Vihiga.
He is scheduled to be in Mombasa this weekend. There is also the International Criminal Court factor that threatens to block Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto from the presidential race.
During his tour of Baringo county, residents spoke of Mr Mudavadi as a compromise candidate.
Seen as a moderate, Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto would consider Mr Mudavadi a "safer" candidate in case they don't run.
And the three share a history. It should be remembered that in 2002, Mr Mudavadi was Mr Kenyatta's running mate.

Simple Authentication can not be disabled ----------------------------------------- Key: DIRSERVER-1325 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1325 Project: Directory ApacheDS Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 1.5.4 Reporter: Andreas Kyrmegalos Priority: Minor Recently upgraded to the 1.5 branch (1.5.4). Nice new feature set. While fiddling with the settings I noticed this option: <simpleMechanismHandler mech-name="SIMPLE"/> under the saslMechanismHandlers header. So, I assumed that, based on the name, one is to understand that (since SASL PLAIN and LDAP SIMPLE are a 1:1 match) the ldap simple/sasl plain authentication can be deactivated. After commenting the above mentioned setting, SASL PLAIN is no longer mentioned in "supportedSASLMechanisms" and if one attempts to use it, a javax.naming.AuthenticationNotSupportedException is what one gets. Unfortunately, if one tries to use SIMPLE as an authentication mechanism, the bind succeeds. This also holds true for the 1.5.5 trunk (as of 3/9/2009). This can be fixed by adding a typical is/set pair for a boolean value, just like the case for anonymous access, in org.apache.directory.server.core.DirectoryService.java, making a check when authenticate() is called in org.apache.directory.server.core.SimpleAuthenticator and adding the relevant setting to defaultDirectoryService in server.xml. Did this myself, seems to work as intended. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

I have got a new assistant, named Susan while the current one got demoted. She came up to mix with me very soon, and something holds me towards her. It was the third day with here in my office when she saw an old picture of my parents in my purse.
"Whose picture is that?", she asked with eagerness.
"Oh! My parents, I've lost them at childhood", I replied.
At 1970, Pakistan armies had attacked our village without any warning. This made me separate from my real parents. I hardly remember what happened that time. The stories are told by Mr. Singh who've adopted me after the separated. He supported me until I was a man. He provided all my needs to educate myself. I saw him passed away about 4 months ago and I almost fell down at the thought that I couldn't repay him.
The other day, my assistant didn't show up. I had a little work with him in planning the underground segment of our latest project. So I decided to wait no longer and call him. "My mother went very ill last night. So I am with her today. I am sorry sir, I will not meet you in the evening", she said.
Susan was like a sister to me. It is a religious duty to meet the ill one. So I made an application to get that day off. I went to meet her and when I arrived at the hospital my assistant took me to her mother.
Her mother looked very familiar to me. She got shocked at her first glance on me.
"Shawon?", she called me by my name. She tried to sit but failed due to the ache in her back.
"My son, where did you go?", she started weeping.
I was waiting for a moment to think what was going on.
"Come at me, I was waiting for you for so long."
She started begging for forgiveness. Doctor came out to suggest her to have rest. She became furious and refused. She said that she lost her son in the liberation war and her husband died few years ago. She was trying to prove, she was my mother.
"Then who is Susan?", I asked softly.
"Your younger sister."
"This is not possible. I had no sister", I replied.
"You do now."

Well then, how do we stimulate business?
A few weeks ago, we wrote against tax credits in this column. It wasn't that we didn't believe in the worthiness of the causes they are trying to support — far from it. Rather, we were trying to caution folks about the way it's done. No one wants our government to be taken to the cleaners … especially if we will all be picking up the tab.

"OK, Mr. Wise Guy," you might say. "We have business here, and it's hurting, so tell me how government can stimulate business short of handing out taxpayer money to the business (which is not allowed under our state constitution)."
There is a program that has been around for a while. It's called the Enterprise Zone program.
The objective of the program is to get people employed in parts of the state with high unemployment. First, the counties take a look at their lands and they apply to the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism for zones. Once the zones are approved, businesses apply to the program and commit to increase the head count within the zone. The businesses get incentives for a seven-year period, including a credit for income tax due to eligible activity in the zone; a credit for unemployment tax for the same activity; and a general excise tax exemption for the same activity or for construction within the zone. The income and unemployment tax credits taper off over time. Each business sends a report to the state agency annually, and it verifies the head counts are indeed rising. If there's no report or the head count goes south, there's no credit for that year.
Here are some of the features of this program that some of the others might lack. The objectives are clearly known and the credit recipients commit to the objectives. The tax relief is substantial at first, but tapers off and stops at a certain time. In that way we do not permanently subsidize an inefficient business. Although the business gets a kick start, the amount of aid tapers off and weans the business off the credit system so it can compete in the market normally. In the meantime, the business submits relevant data to maintain itself in the program, and that data can be publicly scrutinized to see if the overall objectives are being met. Finally, the business has no incentive to hide the ball. It needs to come up with the information or its credit doesn't get approved.
Contrast this with the infamous Act 221, the high-tech investment tax credit now expired. This credit awarded people 100 percent of the amount they invested in a qualified high-tech business over five years. In the beginning, people only needed to claim the credit and there was no precertification process. Legislators asked the state Department of Taxation to provide them data about the credit, but it didn't have it; the system was not set up to capture the detailed data the legislators wanted. As the state auditor then stated, the credit law didn't contain any goals or performance measures to effectively measure the credits. Given that less than 3 percent of the tax credit claims were audited, some people reportedly took liberties with the facts and claimed some credits to which they weren't entitled. The credit resulted in $1 billion in lost revenue, and the state could not tell whether the credit was effective.
Want to stimulate business? Fine. But remember the saying by George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Stimulus is fine, but it should be temporary, with clear, measurable goals, and it should provide a way for the business to be weaned off it so its global competitiveness does not suffer.

5% vs 10% CO2 (with their corresponding media) - How relevant it is? (Jul/16/2009 )
Hello everybody, I hope not everybody is on holiday...
We are starting in our cell culture lab, and from time to time basic questions arise. Right now we are preparing a SH-SY5Y culture, but the question is a generic one.
We have realized that depending on the paper, researchers use one or another media for the same cell lines and similar experiments. Usually in the Material and Methods section the %CO2 is not mentioned. Each media has its own bicarbonate concentration and thus its own optimal % CO2 (e.g. EMEM for 5% and DMEM for 10%), but from some suppliers we may have DMDM with lower amount of bicarbonate and vice versa, so no % may be a priori excluded.
My question is: If the bicarbonate concentration and the %CO2 of the incubator are harmonized, the pH should be the desired 7.4, right? In this case, is the CO2 atmospheric content a relevant factor for the cell behaviour?? As far as I understand, in a pH 7.4 media the content of CO2/bicarbonate should be the same, regardless the atmospheric CO2 concentration...
Did I explain my question clearly enough?
I will appreciate any explanation, either theorical or practical ones.
Thank you!!
I'd start with the conditions recommended by whomever you got the cells from. The ATCC is usually a good resource too. If you have multiple incubators, you could also just try different CO2 concentrations and see what works best. Even with the same media, a different CO2 concentration might be better. I worked with a myeloma line a few years back that wouldn't grow at 5%, even though that's what ATCC recommended. When we upped the concentration to 10%, they grew perfectly.
Thanks for the answer. That is what I use to do, to follow the cell source indications at least till we have expanded the cells enough we can allow us to do some experiments with the culture conditions. I want just a bit more of background information.
My question is a bit broader, based on these different protocols for similar experiments. In your example of myeloma line, did you change the recommended media according to the %CO2 or did you use the same media all the time? If you did the second one, then the pH was different and the responsible for the different grow pattern; if not, it was the total %CO2 the responsible one, and that would be the answer to my general question: if CO2 per se plays a role.
Thanks again
The bicarbonate concentration is dependent on the %CO2, the atmospheric content forces the reaction away from the HCO3- towards the H+, keeping the pH buffered correctly. If there is too much bicarbonate in the medium for the %CO2, the medium will have a higher pH (leave a small amount of medium exposed to air for a short while, with phenol red as an indicator it will go purple indicating basic conditions). This also accounts for the colour change you see when you approach the bottom of a bottle, which then corrects itself when put in an incubator.
It is entirely possible to grow cells at the "wrong" %CO2, the pH isn't too different, usually a difference of about 0.2-0.4 pH units between 5 and 10%
hii all...i have a similar query posted by radar...but m still not clear with d xplainations given so far..hence want to continue d thread...m still not understanding d logic behind use of surplus co2, relation between co2 & bicarbonate (added in media)
The bicarbonate acts as a buffer. If you don't understand that principle, then you should have a look for a basic chemistry text book, which will explain the principles well.

This post originally ran on Edelman.com.
Digital marketing is blurring the lines between owned, earned and paid. While this has limited brands' ability to leverage the organic reach of content, it has also given brands the impetus to break silos and create multiple, yet specialized touch points with their highly fragmented target audiences.
Marketers are therefore testing tools and technologies to activate the right audience at the right time with the right content. This is where marketers turn to paid media techniques – an excellent way to break through the clutter on the Internet.
As we digital marketers experiment with the complexities of designing successful paid media strategies for brands, we thought it would be helpful to get advice from Chris Paul, Edelman's global director of paid media.
1. Why is paid crucial to the success of a social media program?
Paid tactics offer the ability to target specific audiences by behavior, geography or a brand's own audience insights. When we're looking for increased accountability and efficiency, the paid media space has been focused on those goals for 15+ years.
2. What are the key considerations for a marketer while developing a paid media strategy?
It boils down to goals, audience and analytics. You must be crystal clear on your definition of success, you have to bring some fresh perspective on what matters to your audience and you must be able to connect your media success to your business success.
3. Do you agree that the lines are blurring between paid, owned and earned media? How can brands take advantage of this?
I completely agree. The results from Getting In-Feed Sponsored Content Right: The Consumer View confirmed that a consumer's primary expectation from the media is good content, whether it comes from brands, publishers or people. More recently, the Online Publishers Association reported that 71 percent of readers have no objections to native advertising. Think like a publisher, if not like a peer, when you're crafting your brand content and you'll have a better chance of having your communications welcomed and shared.
4. How do we make paid effective?
At Edelman, we approach media from a storytelling perspective, using our paid dollars to amplify owned and earned assets that people choose to share, not just advertisements that they might see. We produce entertaining, informative, useful content and experiences that resonate with consumers and spur action.
5. Organic Social Content Still Important
As brands open up to paid media strategies, let us not forget, organic social content is still important for engaging and growing community. Successful paid amplification is a function of correct audience segmentation supported by real-time unique, creative and engaging content creation. It has the potential to improve the performance of good organic content but it cannot make up for poor content.

Lacy Tree Fern
A stunning, graceful tree fern native to Australia, Cyathea cooperi is the most attractive of the Cyathea tree ferns, although it is less hardy than Cyathea australis.
In comparision to the more well-known tree fern Dicksonia antartica, Cyathea cooperi is faster growing. It will lose its fronds earlier in winter but will be quicker in spring to produce new fronds. These fronds are generally larger than that of the Dicksonia antartica.
Cyathea cooperi will cope better in more open, sunny, drier conditions. This is fairly rare for tree ferns, which usually demand plenty of shade.
For a happy, vigorous Cyathea cooperi, grow in moist, rich soils. Cyathea cooperi will respond well to organic fertilizers and well-rotted animal manures.
With their beautiful lacy fronds in many shades of green, ferns add new shape, foliage, contrast and texture to a planting area. We offer a selection of tree ferns for sale, suitable for a range of conditions. Whether grown in pots in a courtyard, used to edge a woodland area or massed beside a water feature, they are among the best foliage plants for softening the lines of hard landscaping, creating a cool atmosphere or enhancing an exotic effect.
Most ferns dislike deep shade and are at best in dappled sun to full sun, but all will appreciate shelter from cold winds.

What does everyone think of this clue?
Chris has the conversation with Ali that his mother left him a note that he would see her in rainbows.
Chris and his dad had the conversation that his mom was overseeing everything for Chris and orchestrating the whole thing. I thought this was really crass to leave in if Ali doesn't choose Chris. Pretty hard hearted. But,
When did Chris H say Ali started to fall in love? Iceland
When did we see the rainbow? Previews to Iceland

Lintian (and myself) do not agree with you. Lintian considers it a "Serious" problem. And so does the policy manual in which you can read: "Packages must not include files or directories under /run, or under the older /var/run and /var/lock paths." It's perfectly fine to me that the release team decides what is RC or not (even if I don't agree, it's your call...), but these are still "must not" in the wording of the policy. Cheers, Thomas

Area museums offer events, attractions for families
Published 4:48 am, Thursday, September 26, 2013
Saturday is Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day, and local museums will be taking a day to cater to Midland's youngsters with children-themed activities and exhibits.
The Ellen Noel Art Museum will be offering free admission, a sidewalk art contest and circus activities at its A Day at the Circus celebration. To stick with the theme, the museum will also be offering an exhibition focused on artist Jake Erlich. The exhibit, "Jake Erlich: Long Shadows," focuses on Erlich, the world's tallest man while he lived in the early 20th century, towering at 8 feet, 6 inches.
"We will have a menu of multiple items for children," said George Jacob, executive director at the art museum. "We will also be drawing for a number of gifts for attending children along with face painters and jugglers to carry the theme."
The theme is based on One Book Odessa's selection: "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern, and the book will be on sale in the museum's gift shop.
The family art day will run from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Additionally, the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum is offering free admission to anyone presenting a Museum Day Live! ticket, which can be downloaded at Smithsonian.com/museumday.
The museum features a Chaparral Car Gallery in is Transportation Wing along with one of the state's largest mineral galleries.
The Museum of the Southwest will not be actively participating in Smithsonian's Museum Day, but it will be continuing to display its "Golden Legacy: Original Art from 65 Years of Golden Books" exhibit in the Fredda Turner Durham Children's Museum, featuring 60 illustrations and hands-on activities. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children.
"The Golden Books were started as a way to make books affordable for family," director of the children's museum Annelorre Robertson said. "So we wanted to offer something for families. We find that literature is a really great way to introduce children to art, and we are hoping that is what this turns into."

|Caloric restriction and intermittent fasting alter spectral measures of heart rate and blood pressure variability in rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16581971 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Dietary restriction (DR) has been shown to increase life span, delay or prevent age-associated diseases, and improve functional and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors in rodents and other species. To investigate the effects of DR on beat-to-beat heart rate and diastolic blood pressure variability (HRV and DPV) in male Sprague-Dawley rats, we implanted telemetric transmitters and animals were maintained on either intermittent fasting (every other day feeding) or calorie-restricted (40% caloric reduction) diets. Using power spectral analysis, we evaluated the temporal profiles of the low- and high-frequency oscillatory components in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure signals to assess cardiac autonomic activity. Body weight, heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were all found to decrease in response to DR. Both methods of DR produced decreases in the low-frequency component of DPV spectra, a marker for sympathetic tone, and the high-frequency component of HRV spectra, a marker for parasympathetic activity, was increased. These parameters required at least 1 month to become maximal, but returned toward baseline values rapidly once rats resumed ad libitum diets. These results suggest an additional cardiovascular benefit of DR that merits further studies of this potential effect in humans.

With the "Creative Craft Day" at the Peoples History museum fast approaching I thought it best to shoot a couple of plates that might appeal to a broader market….maybe. A lot of wetplate photographers shoot peculiar items in still life from dolls and skulls to cutlery and bulbs…just take a look back through this blog and you'll get the idea.
Anyways I just thought those sort of things might not be visually appealing to many people (but who knows? everyones tastes are different) so I bought some flowers today, everyone likes flowers, dont they?
After several hours of shooting today it still surprises me what shoots well in wetplate. Things you think will look great look a bit naff and things that shouldnt really work can look great.
Heres a dark red rose.
I really like them, although I showed them to Steph and she wasn't really taken with them, just goes to show theres no accounting for taste.
Quarter plate tintype.

Lynas Corp looks to raise $200m
Western Australia's Lynas Corporation is seeking to raise $200 million in working capital from the share market after significant delays to its rare earth processing plant in Malaysia.
Lynas had been forced to suspend operations over recent months, while a Malaysian court considered an application from local protesters to prevent the processing plant from operating.
Last week, the company was given permission to restart operations after the court ruled in its favour.
The funds from the share offering are aimed at improving the company's working capital.

The new VW Jetta will serve as a base for a sporty hybrid line-up at Volkswagen. Great news!
Volkswagen will use its sixth-generation Jetta to launch an innovative new sporty hybrid system that will break the mold of current mainstream hybrids by offering increased performance as well as economy.
"We're not an experienced hybrid maker like Toyota or Honda, so we don't just want to come up with what everyone else already has," said Jetta technical project manager Michael Hinz. "We want to do something unique."
Hinz said hybrid systems could be used to boost power or improve efficiency. A turbocharged petrol engine is preferable for the power boost route and a diesel-electric system for economy.

Avram Grant betrayed his frustration at a perceived whispering campaign that has driven him to the brink of the sack at West Ham United after overseeing a 2-1 first-leg victory over Birmingham City in the Carling Cup semi-final at Upton Park last night.
The under-pressure manager was given a break when the Birmingham goalkeeper Ben Foster allowed Carlton Cole's weak shot to go through his legs for the winning goal but he then rounded on his tormentors, asking where the rumours were coming from and wondering aloud why he was the only manager in the Premier League's bottom seven who was feeling such heat.
West Ham's directors meet tomorrow and Grant's future will be at the top of the agenda. They have sounded out Sam Allardyce, sacked by Blackburn Rovers last month, and the former Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill about whether either would be prepared to step into Grant's shoes and the Israeli must continue to work under a cloud.
"There are seven teams in our positions in the league, more or less – two points [between the clubs] is not a big difference and we are the only one in a semi-final and you keep asking me these questions [about the sack]," Grant said. "You need to ask the person who gave you this information, not me.
"Why is there no speculation about the other managers? But you keep asking me. I am not the man you need to ask. I can be responsible for one thing. If I don't want to be here, I will go to the owner and say that I don't want to be here but the other decision is not mine.
"I have lived with the rumours since day one that I am here at the club. I think for us, it would be much easier if the rumours were like at other clubs but the rumours are only about West Ham United. If everything was more quiet, it would help the players more but even with this, you saw the spirit of the players. Everybody needs to respect this spirit."
Grant's mood lightened when he was asked whether he would appreciate a vote of support following the board meeting. "Look, don't worry about me, I will be fine in any case," he replied. "I really, really appreciate that you are worried about me and that you like me and that you want me to be near you. I like you also by the way. If someone is telling you, then why do you need to ask me?
"You can ask me about why I play this player or that player because this is my responsibility. You can also ask me if I want to stay or not. Actually, don't ask me that …"

Antidepressants in Pregnancy May Not Hinder Infant Growth After All
New research suggests taking commonly prescribed antidepressants during pregnancy does not impact an infant's growth over the first year.
The finding should allay fears raised by earlier studies that suggested antidepressant treatment in pregnancy reduced growth during the first year. Depression during pregnancy, too, can hamper the infant's growth.
Northwestern Medicine scientists studied the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, and found that infants born to mothers who took SSRIs during pregnancy had a similar weight, length and head circumference over the first year as infants born to non-depressed women who did not take antidepressants.
The infants whose mothers took antidepressants were shorter at birth, but the difference disappeared by two weeks of age.
In addition, growth measurements for the infants of depressed women who did not take SSRIs were similar to the general population.
"Most women want to know about the effect of their depressive illness or the medication they take during pregnancy not only on the infant at birth, but also on the baby's longer-term growth and development," said Northwestern Medicine lead author Katherine L. Wisner, M.D.
"This information may help women balance the risks and benefits of continuing their antidepressant treatment during pregnancy."
Study results are published online in the American Journal of Psychiatry in Advance website and will be followed by print.
Researchers say that depression itself has negative impact on a mother's and infant's health as women who stop taking SSRIs near the time of conception have a high relapse rate.
Additionally, maternal prenatal stress and depression are linked to preterm birth and low infant birth weight, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Depression also affects a woman's appetite, nutrition and prenatal care and is associated with increased alcohol and drug use. Untreated depression is also associated with a higher body mass index prior to conception – a factor that carries additional risks.

The proposed ban on anchoring putters has been simmering for three months now, ever since the USGA and R&A made their intentions known in November.
The comment period — where everyone gets to have their say — ends Feb. 28, after which the official ruling will be made.
Eight-time PGA Tour winner Brad Faxon, who wrote an exclusive for Golf.com, believes Commissioner Tim Finchem is going to ask the governing bodies to cancel their proposed ban.
The PGA Tour Policy Board has scheduled a meeting for Monday during which Finchem, Faxon believes, will try to gather a consensus.
"I believe — and I haven't talked to him about this issue in a while — that Finchem's stance will be that the PGA Tour is in a good place, that a rules controversy over a well-established putting method does not serve the game well and that the Tour should urge the USGA to back off the proposed ban," Faxon writes.
More from Faxon at Golf.com:
"I sat on that board for three separate terms in the 1990s and 2000s, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't be comfortable even acknowledging the existence of this meeting. I'm doing so here for two reasons. First, several reporters have contacted me about the call; word about this meeting is already out. Second, the issues being discussed will have implications for millions of everyday golfers. The game belongs to all of us, and we all have the right to know what's going on.
"The USGA and the R&A, the world's governing golf bodies, have an open comment period about the proposed rule change that concludes at the end of this month. If you're so inclined, try to influence the debate-send an email to the USGA, R&A or PGA Tour and let them know how you feel. That's why Tim is having his Tour Policy Board meeting on Monday. I believe he's going to try to persuade the board to that the Tour should urge the USGA to withdraw the proposed ban."
Faxon, who was known for his deft putting stroke, says he is in favor of the ban. He also believes the USGA and R&A won't back down.
That leaves another option, which the Tour declined to discuss in detail when the ban was proposed: Bifurcation — two sets of rules.
The Tour could create its own conditions of competition, allowing anchoring at its sanctioned tournaments. That, however, is a treacherous path. Not only would it upset players who support the ban — including Tiger Woods — it also would threaten the USGA's authority over American golf.
This issue seems far from resolved.

Well with that logic you could be 100 pounds and be quicker than anybody... that just isn't the case. There is a point where your muscle will start to hinder you from moving laterally as quick because your body starts getting tighter. He could easily put on 10-15 pounds of pure muscle though and probably be quicker (especially if most of that muscle is in his legs). At 6'0, he should be able to handle 160-165 pounds very well... maybe as much as 175 with his frame (doubt much more than that tho). I would have him work on hypertrophy for the next 3 or 4 months to put on that muscle and then cut back to simply maintain. That would mean multiple leg exercises on one day, and then resting for a week.
