The issues dealt with in the new law are just one of the many complexities embedded within the gestational surrogacy process that organizations working on behalf of intended parents and surrogates must navigate.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2016
According to a September 19 article on San Diego LGBT Weekly, a new law intended to prevent California-parents, including members of the LGBT community, from having their parental rights questioned outside the state has been signed by Governor Jerry Brown. The bill, authored by San Francisco State Assembly member David Chiu, gives California courts jurisdiction over any issues involving the parental rights of Californians who have had children through gestational surrogacy. According to the article, it is also intended to protect the anonymity of the names of egg and sperm donors in contracts relating to surrogacy. Commenting on the article, Southern California based surrogacy agency Global Fertility Concepts (GFC) notes that the issues dealt with in the new law are just one of the many complexities embedded within the gestational surrogacy process that organizations working on behalf of intended parents and surrogates must navigate. These include:
Legal Issues – GFC notes that the law around gestational surrogacy is also still evolving at a relatively rapid clip and differs greatly both within the United States and around the world. Thus, it is imperative that intended parents and their surrogates are protected by contracts that unambiguously cover the issues a family is likely to face. In the case of LGBT parents in particular, this can be a crucial area because the political and legal climate around the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parents may vary depending on where they reside. GFC notes that it is important for intended parents of all orientations to work with legal counsel to make sure their rights will be fully protected in any location they may reside in.
Matching Intended Parents and Surrogates – One of the most important parts of fostering a successful experience for all parties concerned is to ensure that intended parents and their surrogates are completely comfortable with all of their arrangements, says GFC. The firm notes that it takes great pains to make sure that all parties are fully informed on, and in complete agreement with, every aspect of their arrangements in order to ensure the entire process of starting a new family goes as smoothly as possible for all concerned. This includes matching the personal values of intended parents and their surrogates so that there are no misunderstandings or conflicts before, during, or after the birth of a child or children.
GFC concludes by noting that all intended parents of all orientations need to approach their choice of gestational surrogacy with a certain amount of caution, as well as a great deal of hope for the future. They add that helping intended parents, both heterosexual and LGBT, achieve their cherished dreams of parenthood, while ensuring that the rights of all parties are fully protected is their primary focus. Readers interested in learning more about how GFC can facilitate their choice of gestational surrogacy are invited to call 800-893-1309 or visit the agency's website at Globalfertilityconcepts.com.

New Chevrolet hatchback offers refined versatility
- Published in Auto Drive
Why buy a big car?
There are many reasons, of course. Interior volume is often the leading factor — space and comfort for the driver and passengers, and enough room for their cargo.
But another reason many folks seek larger cars is that bigger, more-expensive models often deliver a higher grade of refinement. They're quieter, and they ride more smoothly. They look more elegant or mature. They feel more confidently planted even at high speeds. They aren't cheap, basic transportation — they're a cut above.
But not every big car offers those qualities. Instead, you'll regularly find one that's just as underwhelming as an economy car, albeit with some extra leg room.
If you're looking for a car that feels satisfyingly non-basic, and don't need maximum interior volume, you'll want to consider the Chevrolet Cruze. It's a compact four-door sedan or five-door hatchback that's more affordable and fuel-efficient than a larger class of vehicle, competing against such models as the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, and Hyundai Elantra.

Editor's note: The presidential nominating contests in both parties will come down to the California primary.
For Democrats, 548 delegates are at stake — 11.5% of the total. For Republicans, 172 delegates are at stage — 6.9% of the total. Of those, for Democrats, 158 (29%) are divided proportionally on a statewide basis, while 317 (58%) are divided proportionally by congressional district, with each district providing between 5 and 8 delegates. The remaining 73 (13%) are "superdelegates."
For Republicans, 13 (8%) are awarded statewide, with ten going to the candidate with the highest number of votes on a winner-take-all basis, and three going to "pre-determined" delegates (the State Chair, National Committeewoman, National Committeeman). Meanwhile, 159 (92%) are awarded by congressional district on a winner-take-all basis, with each district providing 3 delegates.
The result: a district-by-district battle in both parties, which we preview for you here.
CA-52: This San Diego city district is one of the most hotly-contested in California, and in the nation. In 2014, Democrat Scott Peters won a close race with Republican Carl DeMaio, an openly gay former San Diego city councilman who brought in support from the national Republican Party but could not overcome a set of early dirty tricks at his expense. The district includes several key military facilities, which help make San Diego the only Republican-governed major city in the U.S.
Democrats: The Democrats in San Diego are somewhat conservative, but the unions are strong, and will support Sanders.
Clinton 3, Sanders 3
Republicans: Once again, the military vote will help Trump prevail in a competitive district that might otherwise lean Cruz.
Trump 3, Cruz 0, Kasich 0

Manchester United have confirmed that Michael Carrick isn't playing against Middlesbrough because of illness.
The 35-year-old wasn't spotted arriving with his teammates at The Lowry Hotel on Friday night and didn't make the teamsheet for the Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
The official United Twitter account tweeted on Saturday afternoon: "Michael Carrick misses today's game through illness."
Marouane Fellaini starts in midfield instead of Carrick and Bastian Schweinsteiger is on the bench.
The United vice-captain is out of contract in the summer but Jose Mourinho has already hinted he could extend the Geordie's Old Trafford stay.
"He is such a fantastic player and it is a pity," Mourinho said last month. "I always loved him, but instead of being his manager when he was 25 I am his manager when he is 35.
"We have a good understanding. We know when he can play. We know when he is ready and when he needs a rest. I am still having Michael Carrick and probably for one more season. That's life."
United line-up vs Middlesbrough: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Blind, Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba, Martial, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic.
Subs: Romero, Jones, Rojo, Lingard, Mata, Schweinsteiger, Rashford.

System Recommendations
The following are real-world system requirements for running Vectorworks 2018. In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described by these recommendations. Likewise, there are some less demanding situations where Vectorworks will perform well on older hardware.
General Requirements
Operating System
Mac OS X 10.12 / Mac OS X 10.10 / Mac OS X 10.11
Windows 10 (64-bit)
Windows 8 (64-bit)
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Windows 7 SP 1 (64-bit)
General Requirements
Minimum Hardware Profile
Entry-level Profile

Network Requirements for Project Sharing
Project sharing requires high-speed network connections. As the network bandwidth increases, so does project sharing performance. Slower network speeds can still provide a satisfactory user experience if you minimize operations that transfer large amounts of data over the network (such as committing changes to the project file or refreshing a local working file).
LAN Sharing
Minimum: A Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s) network connection
Recommended: A Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbit/s) network connection is required for large projects.
Cloud Sharing
Project sharing using cloud-based storage requires a high-speed internet connection (50Mbit/s or above). This method of sharing works best with small teams or small projects. It is not recommended for large teams or large projects.
Hard Drive
Storing large project files on flash storage (SSD) is recommended.
Additional Details
Graphics Cards
IMPORTANT – Several Vectorworks features have placed higher demands on graphic hardware. Additionally, the performance and quality of the graphics provided by the Vectorworks Graphics Module depend directly on the speed, memory, and supported extensions of the graphics card. These features have the potential to provide a very fast and fluid experience if used on capable hardware, or a noticeably slower experience if used on older or incompatible hardware. Graphics cards should support at a minimum OpenGL version 2.1; cards not meeting this recommendation will have limited functionality and poor performance. In general, the more powerful your graphics card is, the better your Vectorworks experience will be.
The amount of Video RAM (VRAM) required to drive Vectorworks adequately depends largely on the size of the display being used and the complexity of the Vectorworks document. Medium-sized displays with a native resolution of 1920x1080 or less should be driven by a graphics card with at least 1GB of VRAM. Larger displays should use a modern graphics card with at least 2GB of VRAM, with 4GB or more recommended.
OpenGL rendering of shadows and edges are VRAM-intensive and require at least 1GB, with 2GB of VRAM or more being preferable. If you want to take full advantage of OpenGL shadows and edges, especially in situations where you have any combination of the following:
- many lights
- point lights
- image textures
- anti-aliasing
- high shadow quality

and if you have a graphics card with less than 1GB of VRAM, you should consider upgrading your graphics card.
We strongly recommend that all users check that their video drivers are current. The majority of display problems reported to our Technical Support department have been traced to older video drivers.
Vision Prob> requires a dedicated OpenGL 3.0 compatible graphics card preferably released in the past three years. We do not recommend any integrated Intel video chipset. While Vision may run under these environments, we do not support them due to their lack of performance and speed.
For the latest information on our graphics card recommendations for Vectorworks 2018, go to the Vectorworks Knowledgebase and search for "OpenGL".
Remote and Virtual Machines
We do not consider remote login environments such as Remote Desktop, Terminal Services and VNC or virtual machine environments such as Parallels and VMware to be appropriate for regular work, so Vectorworks performance in these situations is not of primary concern to us. They may be appropriate for administrative testing or utility purposes but you should not expect good performance in these environments, however, especially with interactive screen feedback.
We do support Vectorworks running under Boot Camp on Mac machines. As long as you have appropriate and current drivers for the hardware on your machine, you can expect fast and reliable Vectorworks behavior.
Maintenance Releases
Unless there is a known problem with a maintenance release of the operating system, we recommend the latest maintenance release at the time we ship a new release of Vectorworks as a minimum because that is what we test with. If you have problems with an earlier maintenance release, we will often ask you to update as an initial troubleshooting step.
Optimizing Performance
For users who work with large files and complex renderings, we recommend running with at least 8GB of RAM. When RAM runs out, Vectorworks usually continues to function, but is slowed significantly by the need to access the hard drive to provide virtual memory. Extreme lack of RAM may cause operations to generate errors in cases where given sufficient RAM they would otherwise succeed. Faster hard drives can have a large impact on system performance especially when virtual memory is actively being used. Faster or slower processor clock speeds have a predictable impact on Vectorworks performance. Hard drive size requirements are driven by the total size of Vectorworks including all content files. You can reduce this size by opting to not install some of the larger Vectorworks content files.
Project Sharing and Network Bandwidth
The performance of Vectorworks when working on a shared project over the network will depend on the available network bandwidth. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, operations that transfer large amount of data over the network will be slow.
We recommend at minimum a Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s) network connection. For large projects, a Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbit/s) network is required for a fast and fluid experience.
Project sharing using cloud-based storages requires a high-speed internet connection (50Mbit/s or above). This method of sharing works best with small teams or small projects. It is not recommended for large teams or large projects. Although project sharing requires high-speed network connections in general, slower network speeds can still provide a satisfactory user experience if you minimize operations that transfer large amounts of data over the network (such as committing changes to the project file or refreshing a local working file).

Following recent efforts to address obesity by banning transfats and proposing a moratorium on the opening of new fast food restaurants, in late December of 2007 San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom proposed a tax on soda. The sweetened beverage fee would be applied to big box retailers who sell sweetened soda and other beverages; "Mom and Pop" stores would be exempt.
Newsom proposed the measure, which will be voted on by the Board of Supervisors early this year, as a means by which to address rising obesity rates and the attendant rising health care costs. Though the surcharge on sweetened beverages has yet to be defined, proceeds from the tax will support Newsom's "Shape Up SF," a program designed to encourage San Francisco residents to exercise.
Though the Mayor's office argued that there was a well developed linkbetween obesity and the consumption of high-fructose corn syrup—a corn-based sweetener preferred over table sugar by the beverage industry because of its lower cost in production. Most researchers agree that carbonated sweetened beverages have played an important role in rising rates of obesity in the United States and elsewhere. Malik et al (2006) found evidence for this relationship in their meta-analysis of 30 publications. They state: "The weight of epidemiologic and experimental evidence indicates that a greater consumption of SSBs [sugar sweetened beverages] is associated with weight gain and obesity. Although more research is needed, sufficient evidence exists for public health strategies to discourage consumption of sugary drinks as part of a healthy lifestyle."
Despite this emerging scientific consensus, the American Beverage Association (ABA), the trade association for the non-alcoholic beverage industry, argued that taxing soda would be ineffective given the complexity and multifaceted nature of obesity. An ABA press release stated: "It makes no sense to single out one food or beverage product to address an issue created by a lack of balance between calories consumed and calories burned. It would be just as silly to tax all the high-tech companies in San Francisco and blame them for contributing to childhood obesity through their video games, computer games and Internet search engines…This idea for taxing retailers sounds more like a thinly veiled attempt to raise revenues for more city spending than a sincere effort to reduce childhood obesity." Others criticized the Mayor of behaving in a "Nanny State" manner, a charge that has been applied to other advocates of taxes on obesic foods and beverages.
In response to proposals such as Newsom's, the beverage industry continues to fall back on the food industry's stock line that obesity is caused by an imbalance of calories in and out and that all foods and beverages can have a place in a well-balanced diet accompanied by an active lifestyle. Yet according to an unreleased draft report by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, sweetened beverage consumption is the leading source of added sugar in children's diets accounting for more than 10% of the total daily caloric intake for an average child. In addition, the consumption of sweetened beverages is more strongly associated with pediatric obesity than is high fat content or decreased physical activity.
While the industry publicly rejects any particular association between sweetened beverages and obesity, it is clear that beverage makers are concerned. In the spring of 2007, Coca Cola Company Chief Creative Officer Esther Lee described obesity as an "Achilles heel" and something that works against beverage makers' marketing strategies. Although Americans spent$105 billion on "refreshment beverages" in 2007, US sales of soda are decreasing. During 2005, the number of cases of soda sold in the US declined by .07 percent. In April of 2007, Coca Cola first quarter profits report indicated that unit case volume had declined by 3 percent.
In response to declining sales and changing markets, Big Soda is shifting its marketing and distribution practices in two ways. First, the industry is promoting the sale of alternative beverages such as "enhanced" waters, juices and energy drinks. Sales of these products more than tripled in one year, from $80 million in 2001 to $245 million in 2002 and have continued to grow since. Odwalla juices and Glaceau Vitamin Water, (owned by Coca-Cola), SoBe's Synergy Drinks, (owned by PepsiCo) and Snapple Juices (owned by Cadbury Schweppes) have become increasingly popular as Americans seek to substitute what they perceive as more healthful drinks for soda. However, critics such as Dump Soda, a global campaign whose goals include reducing soda consumption and eliminating the marketing of sweetened beverages to youth under 16, have illustrated that these "alternative" beverages are often just as sugar and calorie-laden as the soft drinks they seek to replace.
Second, as beverage makers promote "healthful" products in the US, they have refocused the marketing and sale of their traditional, sweetened soft drinks on the global south to maintain sales. According to Dump Soda, Coca-Cola has tremendously increased spending on non-US media, rising to $1,176 billion in 2000 from $500 million in 1994. Sales of Coke and Pepsi have also risen dramatically. In 2005, sales of Coca-Cola increased eleven percent in North Asia, Eurasia and the Middle East, case volume grew by seven percent in Latin America, and by four percent in Africa. In 2006, Pepsi's international volume growth was up 9%.
With increasing sales comes increasing consumption, raising concerns about the spread of Western-style diet and disease in the global south. By linking local efforts such as those of San Francisco Mayor Newsom to tax high sugar beverages to global campaigns such as Dump Soda, public health advocates can ensure that a move toward a healthier US does not come at the expense of the global south.

The Sonoma County area is a beautiful environment for those who enjoy riding motorcycles, whether for pleasure or as their main mode of transportation. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are often injured in accidents caused by inattentive, negligent or reckless drivers. A motorcyclist is virtually unprotected and when hit by a car, the rider can suffer serious, life-threatening injuries or even death. The injuries to victims of such accidents are often catastrophic, such as paralysis, either quadriplegia or paraplegia. The victim often becomes airborne and lands on their back, head or side. Severe abrasions can also occur, as the victim's body comes in contact with the road surface. It is extremely important to get legal representation from a Sonoma County personal injury lawyer as quickly as possible after the accident in order to assist you with the legal aspects of the case.
Serious motorcycle accidents can result in injuries that require months, years or a lifetime of medical care. When this is the case, it is critical that you have a skilled personal injury lawyer assisting you or the family in making the claim for compensation for damages. These cases can have a very high value, depending upon the degree of injury. Even in a less life-threatening case, the medical bills can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as other damages. If you have lost your ability to work due to the accident, it is likely that you have the right to claim for lost wages and future wage loss. Other claims can include your property loss, medical bills, ambulance costs and any other damages you have suffered in the accident.
It is strongly advised that you contact the Law Offices of David R. Silva if you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident. The personal injury lawyer from the firm is well-skilled in such cases, and will assist you in seeking maximum compensation for your claim for damages. Insurance companies often take measures to try to reduce such claims, and it is important that you are not taken advantage of in your injury case. Protect yourself, your family and your future in any motorcycle injury case, and contact the Law Offices of David R. Silva as quickly as possible after the accident.

CYACC's care team is an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers and other professionals. Many of the team members have personal experience as a parent or person with special health care needs.
Located on the fourth floor of the Sandra Eskenazi Outpatient Care Center, the Center for Youth & Adults with Conditions of Childhood (CYACC) is designed to steer young people with special health care needs toward a successful adult life. CYACC provides consultation and coordination of care for two key populations:
The five most common diagnoses for CYACC patients are Down syndrome, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, autism and intellectual disabilities. Referrals to CYACC can come from a variety of sources, including youths or their families, primary care providers, subspecialists or community agencies.
CYACC's interdisciplinary care team is composed of physicians, nurses, social workers and other professionals, many of whom have personal experience as a parent of a person with special health care needs. The care team provides clinical visits four half-days per week and care coordination during the remainder of the week, working with patients to create a portable medical summary and transition plan based on discussions of key areas of concern regarding the transition to adulthood, including transportation, health care financing, education and employment, and living arrangements.
The care coordinator also helps to schedule follow-up appointments, which usually take place once per year.

Former humorist Al Franken is running a strong race to unseat incumbent Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman. Were it not for the current financial crisis, the race would not be particularly competitive. As it is, Franken and Coleman are running neck and neck and attention must be paid to Franken. In her Star Tribune column today, Katherine Kersten takes a look at the hilarity Franken has found in Christianity:
For example, in his 1999 book, "Why Not Me?" he wrote about his discovery — as a fictional former president — of "the complete skeleton of Jesus Christ still nailed to the cross" during an archeological dig. At the Franken Presidential Library gift shop, visitors can buy "small pieces of Jesus' skeleton."
"We would like to display Jesus' skeleton at some future point," Franken went on. "It's merely a matter of designing and building an exhibition space … . Until then he's very comfortable in a box down in our basement near the geothermal power station."
Kersten comments: "Very funny. Anybody want to try a joke like that about Mohammed?"

A Texas attorney was arrested Saturday for allegedly shooting at a census worker just moments after the canvasser arrived at her doorstep in a suburb of Austin, MyFoxAustin.com reported.
Carolyn Barnes, a 53-year-old attorney from Leander, Tex., has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Texas police.
The census worker told investigators that she went to Barnes' home in order to make contact with her, when Barnes pointed a handgun at her. As the census work was trying to escape, she said Barnes fired five shots, MyFoxAustin.com reported.
Barnes is currently in the Williamson County Jail. It is unclear if the census worker was injured during the incident.
Barnes was previously arrested for assaulting a court officer after she tried to pass a multi-tool knife blade through X-ray machine at the Heman Sweatt Courthouse in December of 2009.

ANC Youth League demands ANC Intervention in Government failure to act against Apartheid Israel
11 August 2014
Following the overwhelming show of support for the Palestinian cause which the largest march in South Africa`s history on Saturday 9th August displayed, the ANC YOUTH LEAGUE is demanding that our motherbody, the ruling party of South Africa force our government to embark on the following initiatives with immediate effect:
- Withdraw our South African Ambassador to Israel, and the entire embassy staff to demonstrate our disgust with Israel`s genocidal actions;
- Expel the Israeli Ambassador to South Africa whose only contribution of late has been to callously justify how a country can murder 400 children in the name of self-defense;
- Cut commercial ties with all local and International companies that are operating in Apartheid Israel;
- Pass laws making it illegal to buy or sell any goods from or to Israel;
- Pass laws making it illegal for any South African citizen to become a member of the Israeli government;
- Cut all diplomatic, academic, military, commercial and social ties with Israel;
- Institute a travel ban to and from Israel.
In this way, our government must start to act on the will of the people, and take the hard line that other countries that assisted the liberation movements and people of South Africa through solidarity and sanction took.
Our leader, Nelson Mandela, admitted to the role that the UN and world played in our liberation, but point out that it is incomplete without that of the Palestinians.
We as the Youth League of Mandela, the true custodians of his fighting spirit will not rest until Palestine, like South Africa is Free.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, it is estimated that 14,500 to 17,500 people, primarily women and children, are trafficked to the U.S. annually. As this is a growing problem and significant emerging risk, it is also becoming a regulatory expectation for BSA programs to include training for all applicable areas on red flags that would indicate activities and patterns indicative of human trafficking. This session is designed to bring awareness to financial institution staff including front line staff, BSA (Bank Secrecy Act), risk management, fraud prevention and investigations, and senior management on this growing crime and to understand the financial institution's obligation to investigate and file suspicious activity reports. Hear from Homeland Security discuss how financial institutions should implement procedures and educate staff on the identification, reporting and ongoing risk management strategy for assisting in the prevention of this horrific crime.

Reza Barati killing: Man accused of murdering Manus Island detainee escapes jail
One of the two men accused of killing Iranian asylum seeker Reza Barati on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea has escaped from prison.
Joshua Kaluvia, a former Salvation Army worker at the Manus Island detention centre, had been facing trial for the wilful murder of Mr Barati in February 2014.
Kaluvia was meant to appear in court in the town of Lorengau on Manus Island this week to continue the trial, but the court was told he had escaped from remand at the Lorengau prison.
A spokesman for PNG Correctional Services confirmed Kaluvia was missing.
"The escapee is Joshua Kaluvia from Muliagani Village in the West New Britain Province," he said in a statement.
"He was the suspect in the murder of an asylum seeker in 2014.
The escape occurred on March 28, between 11:00am and 12:00pm, the spokesman said.
Arrest warrant issued for Kaluvia
Trial judge Nicholas Kirrowom issued a warrant for Kaluvia to be recaptured and to reappear in court by April 18.
Kaluvia had pleaded not guilty and had complained about the standard of his defence during the trial last year.
Police had struggled to find Kaluvia when he was first named as a suspect in the case after his friends initially told them he was dead.
He was later arrested on the island of New Britain.
Witness Benham Satah told the trial last year Kaluvia had come into the centre during a riot on the night of February 17 and struck Mr Barati multiple times in the head with a piece of wood.
Another man, former G4S guard Louie Efi, is accused of dropping a large rock on Mr Barati's head as he lay on the ground.
Medical evidence given during the trial found Mr Barati died from blunt force trauma to his skull.

Research field
Our research laboratory relies on the versatility and wide spectrum applications of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR) spectroscopy to study membrane systems (proteins and lipids) as well as natural protein fibres. 1. Biological membrane systems Our research interests target the action mechanism of therapeutic molecules involving interactions with biological membrane systems. It comprises three major aspects that address important health issues. 1) The first aspect aims at determining the molecular characteristics and interactions responsible for the blockage of heart hERG (human ether-à-gogo- related gene) potassium channels by prescription drugs resulting in a secondary effect known as the long QT syndrome (LQTS). This syndrome is characterized by a prolongation of the repolarization interval of the cardiac wave which can provoke ventricular arrhythmia called "Torsades de Pointes" often responsible for heart failure. We investigate the interaction of hERG-active drugs with hERG domains and their membrane environment. 2) The focus of the second aspect is to better understand the toxicity mechanism of nanoparticles (NPs) and develop NP-based antibiotics. More specifically, we study the mechanism of membrane penetration of fullerene and custom-made NPs with model eukaryote and bacterial membranes. 3) Finally, we are developing gut membrane permeation assays for the optimization of drug formulations. This aim of this project is to improve drug bioavailability by optimizing their absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract, which could help reducing the dosage used in therapies. 2. Structural study of mussel byssus Nature has designed high-performance proteins critical for the survival of different species, such as spider silk and mussel byssus. The byssus is made of collagen-rich fibres anchoring the molluscs to solid substrates. Using blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from Magdalene Islands, we investigate the molecular structure responsible for the peculiar extensibility and strength of the byssus.

Jakarta, Eh?
While scrolling through Twitter this morning, I saw Lightbend's announcement that they were supporting Jakarta.EE. Jakarta? That was the name under which the Apache Software Foundation formalized working on Java projects almost twenty years ago. It was the entity that Sun transferred Tomcat and Ant into. It was retired a while ago, so to see mention of it again piqued my interest.
How history repeats itself.
One of the driving motivations behind giving the effort at the Apache Software Foundation the name "Jakarta" was that Sun wasn't keen to let Apache use the Java trademark. At all. The brand was more important than code, specifications, or working collaboratively. So in a conference room in the building in Cupertino, a bunch of geeks hammered out the name Jakarta to address Sun's concerns.
It turns out that when Oracle—now in Sun's role as keeper of Java—handed Java EE off of to the Eclipse Foundation, they didn't want to let another org anywhere close to the Java trademark. Again. I can picture a bunch of geeks having to deal with the same issue two decades later. You can see this tension all over the place, such as this from a blog post about the Jakarta EE community survey:
Jakarta EE is a new undertaking, and everything that has occurred previously on the Java EE platform will remain called Java EE and comply with licensing agreements with Oracle. Future work will be led by the Jakarta EE Working Group, a consortium of vendors working collaboratively with a global community of open source developers operating under the auspices of the Eclipse Foundation.
The smart ass inside my head quips that it's a good thing that Apache probably isn't going to push any trademark claims. But really, I can't believe those same dynamics are still at play. I think it's a kind of homage that Eclipse picked the Jakarta name back up again. I hope they do well with it.

We can use the scanf() function to get user input in C. Here's a quick implementation of scanf():
#include <stdio.h> char input[100]; char *output = "Thank you for your message!"; int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { // ask user for some input puts("Tell me something nice:"); // grab input from keyboard via scanf() // don't use gets() for this, apparently it's totally evil scanf("%s", input); // say goodbye printf("%s\n\n", output); return 0; }
scanf() will wait for the user to press Enter before giving its returned value back to our app. We must define a variable to hold its output. We can even define multiple variables, each of which will be populated with whatever is being typed in until Enter is pressed. Consider this:
char input1[100], input2[100], input3[100]; scanf("%s, %s, %s", input1, input2, input3);
Here we wait for three string items to be added (numbers entered will be interpreted as strings). To grab a numeric value from the keyboard, we cam use %d like so (d as in decimal, variable defined as int):
int number; scanf("%d", &number);
Note the ampersand in front of our variable, without which scanf would populate a pointer. We can also mix and match keyboard input like this:
char string[100]; int number; scanf("%s, %d", string, &number);
Demo Project
You'll find a quick demo project on GitHub, which also serves as a template on how to setup Xcode to open Terminal and allow for keyboard input when the project is run.

I picked up my journal the other day, to write down a few model numbers for some replacement filters I had to buy at the store. I have been using the Moleskine Reporter's notebook, in small, and had recently started a new one so I was just a few pages in.
As I was writing I realized something. I hadn't actually recorded a thought, meaning an idea or concept or feeling, in one heck of a long time. Between all the stuff I've been doing I'd forgotten to journal any of it. I've noticed that sometimes when I'm really busy and lots of stuff is going on I just don't write anything. It's a shame, because that's usually some of the better stuff to be writing about.
It also hasn't helped that I haven't had to take many notes for work – usually I've got trade shows or the like to keep me busy, but things have been a bit different and that hasn't happened lately.
Since we record our thoughts for lots of reasons, I think it's easy to forget how important it is to record our thoughts just for ourselves. Do it. You'll be glad you did – not next week, or even next year. But years from now you'll look back and learn more about yourself than you thought possible.
So don't forget to write.

Growing wild in the Appalachian woods and abandoned orchards, morel mushrooms literally spring from the forest floor in April… more prolific and fat in the years with just the right amount of rain and the temperature range they like. If you do not hunt for morels yourself, you can sometimes find them at farmers' markets and specialty shops. But they are elusive, and quickly disappear, despite their price.
But do not despair: there are quite a few growers of delicious cultivated mushrooms in Virginia, most often of shiitakes (although oyster mushrooms are not uncommon). Shiitake, one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in the world, has been used for thousands of years in Japan and China — shiitake is the transliteration of its common Japanese name — and is finding a home on Virginia farms. A new find of mine is North Cove Mushroom in Madison County, a recent venture of young farmers Eason Burke and Robin Serne who grow shiitakes without chemicals for the trade.
Keep your eyes open for local mushrooms at farmers' markets and farm stores, and snap them up when you see high-quality ones. Select unblemished mushrooms without dark edges or soft spots. Ideally their feet should be plump and neither water-logged nor dried out. They should have a clean woodsy smell, without any whiff of "fishiness" or decay.
When grown inside mushroom-houses on oak chip blocks, shiitakes are generally immaculately clean. Grown outdoors on logs, they harbor more debris and can exhibit weather damage. In this case, clean them with a brush, a damp towel, under a gentle water spray or even – if very dirty – dunk them very briefly in a large bowl of water, switch around for 2 seconds, lift them from the water (so debris remain in the water), lay them on a clean towel and gently pat dry. They should never be left to stand in water however. If you have to trim away the feet, don't compost them (or… gasp! throw them away): they can be frozen or dried and used to bring a complex depth of flavor to home-made stock.
Shiitakes are wonderfully versatile, whether grilled, seared, braised, as a side dish, in stews or as the star of show. I love them simply sautéed with a bit of chopped garlic and finished with cream and some Virginia ham. They are also wine friendly! Pair with an earthy Virginia white like Philip Carter Chardonnay; a rich bubbly like Trump Winery's Kluge SP Blanc de Blanc; or Meritage (Bordeaux-style blend) like Linden's Claret, RdV Friends and Family or Glen Manor's Hodder Hill.
Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms with Virginia Ham
SERVES 4 to 6
1 pound of impeccably fresh Virginia-grown shiitakes, cleaned and sliced evenly, or 1 pound of morels, cleaned and halved or quartered lengthwise
3 Tablespoons olive oil (more as necessary)
2 Tablespoons butter (more as necessary)
2 plump garlic cloves, minced very finely
¾ cup dry Virginia white wine
¾ cup heavy cream
3 oz shaved Virginia ham
¼ cup packed parsley leaves, very finely minced
Heat up a deep cast-iron skillet until very hot. Add olive oil and butter. As soon as butter foams, add the mushrooms in one generous single layer. Do not overcrowd: work in batches if necessary (use more oil/butter if needed). Fry until the shiitakes start to give up their liquid, shrivel and brown on the edges – about 5 to 7 minutes. If you are working in several batches, remove from the pan and reserve the first batch, add butter and olive oil to the pan as necessary and fry the remaining shiitakes.
When all the mushrooms are cooked, add them all back to the pan, lower the heat, add garlic and wine, scraping with a hard spatula to loosen any stuck bits of food. Add the cream and the ham. Cover with a lid and simmer 10 minutes, stirring once or twice. (If using morels simmer 20 minutes.) Sprinkle parsley just before serving.
Serve over creamy grits or rice to absorb the cream sauce, or lots of crusty bread to mop the sauce!
