This salad was inspired by one served during the peak of summer at Claire's Restaurant & Bar in Hardwick. Chef Steven Obranovich of Claire's likes the soft crumbly sheep's-milk feta for this recipe. He cautions that the subtle briny notes of feta can sometimes be overpowered by too much lemon or an olive oil that's too fruity. Saltiness varies from feta to feta too. Add the ingredients a little at a time and taste as you go.

Bryan Cranston Makes Out With Julia Louis-Dreyfus at 2014 Emmys [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
When Julia Louis-Dreyfus went up to receive the Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, she got just a little distracted — by Bryan Cranston running up and making out with her.
But before you think this is just about the most random thing to ever go down, the two had been joking earlier in the night about sharing a makeout sesh while Cranston guest-starred on 'Seinfeld.' And since Dreyfus claimed she couldn't remember making out with him, it looked like the 'Breaking Bad' star had to get a little payback — one that included jamming his tongue down her throat in front of an entire crowd of celebs.
And while the nod was the actresses' insanely impressive 14th (!) Emmy nomination and fifth win, it looks like Bryan Cranston's makeout skills may have just overshadowed her Emmy win.
Check out their makeout sesh in the Vine above!

(written from a Production point of view)
Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume Three: The Dominion and Ferenginar is a Pocket DS9 novel – part of the Deep Space Nine relaunch series and the third novel in the Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series – written by David R. George III and Keith R.A. DeCandido. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in January 2005.
Summary Edit
- From the book jacket
- Within every federation and every empire, behind every hero and every villain, there are the worlds that define them. In the aftermath of Unity and in the daring tradition of Spock's World, The Final Reflection, and A Stitch in Time, the civilizations most closely tied to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine can now be experienced as never before… in tales both sweeping and intimate, reflective and prophetic, eerily familiar and utterly alien.
- FERENGINAR: Quark's profit-driven homeworld is rocked with scandal as shocking allegations involving his brother's first wife, the mother of Nog, threaten to overthrow Rom as Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance. Making matters worse, Quark has been recruited by Rom's political adversaries to join their coup d'état, with guarantees of all Quark ever dreamed if they succeed in taking his brother down. While Ferenginar's future teeters on the edge, the pregnancy of Rom's current wife, Leeta, takes a difficult turn for both mother and child.
- THE DOMINION: Since its defeat in the war for the Alpha Quadrant, the Great Link – the living totality of the shape-shifting Founders – has struggled with questions. At its moment of greatest doubt, its fate, and that of the Dominion itself, is tied to Odo's investigation of his kind's true motives for sending a hundred infant changelings out into the galaxy.
- As Odo searches for answers and takes a hard look at his past choices, Taran'atar reaches a turning point in his own quest for clarity… one from which there may be no going back.
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
"Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed" (Ferenginar) Edit
Quark is contacted by a Ferengi named Chek, CEO of Chek Pharmaceuticals. He and some friends want to restore the old Ferengi as it used to be before Rom became Grand Nagus. They want Quark to join them; Quark resists, but finally decides to go to Ferenginar; he has Ro Laren come with him, as well as Nog.
Rom has some difficulties in ruling Ferenginar – and additionally, his wife Leeta is about to give birth to their child, but the pregnancy is difficult because of the big Ferengi head of the child. Leeta ultimately has to go to a hospital. Due to Rom's difficulties, Ishka is with him and helps him, breaking her holiday with Zek on Risa.
The conspirators around Chek also convince Brunt to join them – and it is he who comes up with the claim that Rom, the Grand Nagus himself, has broken a contract – the marriage contract with his first wife, Prinadora. While Rom is not sure whether this could be true or not, Quark does not believe so. He hires Leck to break into the Glat Archive, a place where all Ferengi contracts are stored. Leck manages to steal the original marriage contract, and Quark and his friends are able to prove that Brunt lied. Brunt is expelled from the Economic Congress, but later teams up with Gaila, who, also aiding the conspiracy, tried to bring the former Grand Nagus Zek on their side – together, they are up to new business...
Meanwhile, Nog visits his mother Prinadora, only to find out that she is a "true" Ferengi female – she barely remembers him and is not able to talk about anything but meaningless small talk. Nog leaves, sad, but acknowledges that his mother was raised that way by her father, Dav.
Ro, who accompanied Quark to Ferenginar, definitively decides that she does not like this humid planet – and she also makes clear to Quark that she wants their relationship to be a platonic friendship, not more.
Finally, Leeta gives birth to Bena, daughter to the Grand Nagus – and with Rom restored fully to power, the reforms on Ferenginar can go on.
"Olympus Descending" (The Dominion) Edit
On the world of the Founders, Odo observes a new light in the sky – obviously a supernova or something similar. He feels some excitement in the Great Link, and finally understands why: The Founders believe that the Progenitor, a deity they believe in, has returned. It is then that Odo learns from another, old Changeling called Indurane, that Changelings cannot procreate – and that the Hundred Changelings were sent out in order to get the Progenitor back to the Founders.
When Odo, Laas, and some other Changelings use a Jem'Hadar vessel (which is lead by the new clone of Weyoun 9) to travel to the light spot in the sky, they finally find Changeling DNA – and it turns out what they have found are the remains of a recently killed, very big Changeling. It also becomes clear that it has been killed by the Ascendants – the race that hunts down the Founders.
The Changelings of the great link are heavily disturbed when they learn that the being which they believe is the Progenitor, is dead – and see no meaning in their lives any more. One after another, they leave their homeworld, leaving essentially Odo and Laas as "The Dominion"...
Meanwhile, Taran'atar has asked to visit the female Changeling – who is imprisoned on Ananke Alpha, a Federation high-security prison. He has recently become more and more restless, and has heavy doubts about the mission Odo sent him on. He hopes that the female Changeling can relieve him – but she has no desire to speak with him, and even worse, she tells him that she is by no means a god.
Heavily disturbed and frustrated, Taran'atar returns to DS9 – and finally, out of his anger, destroys his whole quarter. When Ro and Kira, alarmed by the violent outbreaks that showed up on their scanners, go to seek Taran'atar, he finally accepts that he has failed Odo; and with a clear thought on what to do next, he shoots Ro and injures Kira very badly – then, he shrouds and leaves.
Background information Edit
- The Ascendants were previously encountered in the novel Rising Son.
- Author Keith DeCandido noted that the idea for his story came from a scene he wrote in his earlier relaunch novel, Demons of Air and Darkness. He was keen to combat the stereotype of himself as "the Klingon guy" and felt that the Ferengi were a perfect counterbalance. (Voyages of Imagination, pp. 275-276)
- David George found the sections of his story dealing with the communication within the Great Link extremely difficult to write, because of the very nature of the Link. (Voyages of Imagination, pp. 276-277)

The business decision to go green has never been more difficult. Between a variety of cash and tax incentives, third-party ownership agreements, and the quest for a capital-free project, the business case can become prohibitively complex. As a result, justifications get over-simplified, projects aren't all they appear to be, and we end up with nicely packaged projects yet only a vague understanding of the true economics behind them.
As a result, billions of dollars in jobs have been developed whose projected returns will never be realized. Conversely, millions of dollars of savings will never be realized because projects never get off the ground in the first place. With the energy industry promising to be the driver of a new economy, it's our responsibility as electrical professionals to understand the economic truths behind the business case. This can only be accomplished, however, if you truly know how electric utilities bill for electricity (see SIDEBAR: Understanding Your Electric Utility Bill below), how to decode that billing structure in terms of project economics, and how to select and modify projects to yield the best results.
It all comes down to the most misunderstood of the energy contract complexities — the positive cash flow, or more specifically, the avoided cost. All energy projects share this economic basis. Whether the project is based on demand response, on-site generation, or an energy efficiency retrofit, its feasibility depends on the same thing: projected energy savings. These savings are based on a simple calculation and depend on the amount of energy offset and avoided cost of energy (ACOE).
Positive cash flow = (energy offset) x (avoided cost of energy)
Because the energy offset is a known or contracted amount, the only unknown is the ACOE, which is defined as the rate (per kWh) that a project relieves a customer from paying to the electric utility. If a customer installs a solar panel that offsets 100kWh annually — and his annual electric utility cost is reduced by $15 as a result — then the avoided cost of energy for that solar panel is $0.15 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The ACOE is the absolute basis for any energy project, as it defines the entire financial return. However, it typically achieves no more attention than a blind average of past electric utility bills or a quick glance at an electric utility rate tariff. Due to the dynamic nature of energy usage and rate tariffs, the ACOE cannot be empirically measured. Therefore, customers are left with little other choice than to make these inaccurate approximations. The project's real-world financial performance is equally immeasurable, leaving so many companies with an inaccurate assessment of their project's value. In any other investment vehicle, this kind of ambiguity would be unacceptable.
As we begin to explore how to properly calculate avoided cost, understand that these methods are meant for commercial and industrial electric utility customers — and do not represent an overall improvement or degradation of energy project economics. These factors can swing either way, and the results are particular to a specific technology, facility, and rate tariff combination.
Calculating the ACOE
In order to understand this concept, let's walk through a few of the basic parameters involved in arriving at this calculation.
The tariff — For any ACOE calculation, you must know the current rate tariff of the facility under consideration. For the following examples, we will use a common commercial rate tariff in California, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Company's E-19 Secondary. Time of Use (TOU) rate tariffs like this one bill customers across multiple billing categories, each with an associated metric/rate and differentiated by time of day and season. The primary charge types are energy charges (which bill customers on a per-kWh basis for energy consumed) and demand charges (which bill customers on a per-kW basis for their maximum rate of consumption in any given period). Neglecting a great deal of less-significant rate categories for a moment (i.e., fixed costs, facility charges, rate components, etc.), the PG&E 19S tariff can be summarized as shown inTable 1 (click here to see Table 1).
The data — In order to properly calculate the avoided cost of a facility, you need to know the energy profile of the facility. Luckily, some electric utilities offer historical TOU data, often as an Excel file, which details the facility's consumption in 15-min. intervals. The interval of choice is typically a year or 35,040 data points. This historical data set is used to model the first year of a project's life — so the more recent the data, the better the approximation. The ACOE calculation also requires the energy profile of the proposed energy project, also as 15-min. interval data. This is another commonly overlooked detail of the calculation and impacts the ACOE by as much as 30% in the following example (click here to see Table 2).
Let's says a lighting retrofit reduces the consumption of luminaires by a known amount. In a warehouse that operates 24/7, the impact of the luminaires would be spread across on-peak, partial-peak, and off-peak periods. In contrast, an air-conditioning retrofit on the same warehouse would have a much higher avoided cost, because it's most active during hot afternoons — and its energy profile coincides nicely with the higher on-peak and partial-peak rates. Because the energy profiles — and likewise the associated ACOE — varies considerably between various generation, efficiency, and demand response technologies, it is imperative that the project's energy profile data be accurate.
As illustrated in Fig. 1 (click here to see Fig. 1), the project's energy profile can then be subtracted from the facility load profile (on an interval by interval basis) in order to create a new effective energy profile for the facility. This new effective energy profile is an approximation of what the facility profile would look like after the project has been executed. You now have two distinct facility load profiles — a before and an after — and you can run them through a bill generator in order to convert the offset kWh and kW into dollars. The difference between these two bill cases provides you with the actual dollar amount offset by the project, which includes the avoidance of both energy costs and demand costs, when applicable.
For simplified overall economic analysis, this dollar amount is then divided by the annual energy offset by the project to produce the ACOE in dollars per kilowatt-hour ($ / kWh). For the following examples, we will use the interval data of a 55,000-sq-ft medical office building, a summary of which is shown in Fig. 1.
What impacts the ACOE?
There are three primary ways to impact avoided cost: the timing of the energy offset; demand coincidence; and reliability. The higher the percentage of the energy offset that occurs in on-peak or partial-peak periods, the higher the avoided cost. One of the best technologies at exploiting this trend is solar power, because it only operates during daylight hours, and 80% of its impact is between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Solar systems primarily offset on-peak and partial-peak periods (i.e., those with the highest rates). One of the worst technologies at exploiting this trend would be a night lighting retrofit, as it would mostly offset energy during off-peak times (i.e., off-peak rates).
Demand coincidence, however, is a much more sensitive issue. In order for a project's energy profile to coincide with a facility's demand profile, it must (a) be offsetting energy at the same time that the facility is experiencing maximum consumption, and (b) persist for the entirety of the TOU period — or until the facility's consumption declines. The technologies that best exploit this are base-load or 24/7 technologies, such as fuel cells, co-gen systems, or efficiency retrofits for high-demand equipment.
However, even if a project's energy profile perfectly coincides with a facility's demand profile, it must be reliable. If a project offsets 100% of the demand, for 99% of a billing period, it does not avoid any demand cost. It only takes one poorly timed 15-min. interval of high facility demand and low energy offset to result in a project achieving $0 of demand savings for that billing period. Without even considering the temporary failure of equipment, this is an enormous issue for technologies like solar, which have an energy profile that can swing wildly based on weather conditions. Once equipment failure or maintenance is considered, the only way to take this unfortunate reality into account is to either (a) insert such outages strategically into the performance profile of your technology, or (b) provide contractual means with the equipment provider to make the customer whole for such outages. Both strategies are effective and common, but in reality, many projects only avoid some demand cost. The variability inherent in the interval model demonstrates this as long as the projects performance data accurately reflects the expected performance of the equipment. Examples of a demand coincidence and reliability situations are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. (click here to see Fig. 2) and (click here to see Fig. 3).
For the medical office building, under the PG&E E-19S rate tariff, Table 2 shows the results of this type of analysis. In some cases, the post-project energy profile may even lend itself to an entirely different electric utility tariff. The ACOE is also shown in Table 2 for a PG&E A-6 tariff, which is heavily weighted toward energy costs and almost entirely removes demand costs. In some cases, the opportunity can be extremely lucrative, but electric utility policies and restrictions must be studied thoroughly before including this assumption in a business case.
The Rest of the Story
Armed with this method of analysis, the ACOE can be merged with the rest of the economic business case. Because the ACOE calculated here determines the present day avoided cost, that value must be escalated up to the expected year of project commissioning as well as annually throughout the life of the project. The per-year escalation is another complex and commonly misunderstood topic — well outside the scope of this article — but should include not only the expected increases in energy costs over time, but also upcoming political/industrial assumptions and the general trend toward dynamic pricing, which is destined to significantly increase the value of demand avoidance.
As the business case develops, at least one member of the team should understand the details of avoided cost, including the relevant rate tariff rules, regulations, and restrictions. Aside from a requisite understanding to develop the economic case, a thorough understanding will ultimately lead to significant advantages in bidding work, insights into the value of the various contracting means (including opportunities for advanced performance contracting), and in legally protecting the financial performance of the project through contractual performance obligations.

Sidebar: Understanding Your Electric Utility Bill
To truly comprehend avoided cost, you must first understand how electric utilities bill for electricity, specifically time of use (TOU) pricing. TOU rate tariffs bill customers across multiple billing categories, each with an associated metric and rate, and differentiated by time of day and season. These time-based periods are referred to as TOU periods and typically include: winter on-peak, winter partial-peak, winter off-peak, summer on-peak, summer partial-peak, and summer off-peak — as shown in the Table (click here to see Table). The on-peak designation illustrates that the time period is associated with a region's highest electrical demands and, subsequently, the highest unit cost.
In addition to the TOU periods, there are two primary charge types: energy charges and demand charges. The differentiation between these two charge types is significant.
Energy charges bill customers on a per-kilowatt-hour (kWh) basis. A kWh is a measure of the energy consumed by a facility in a given period of time. For example, based on the Table, a component of a customer's July electric utility bill would be summer on-peak energy. This quantity would be the sum of all the energy consumed by the customer in July between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (neglecting weekends and holidays).
Demand charges bill customers on a per-kilowatt (kW) basis. A kW is a measure of power, an instantaneous measurement of energy consumption. From another perspective, power is to energy (kW to kWh) as speed is to distance (mile-per-hour to mile). Power and speed are instantaneous measurements whereas energy and distance are the latter applied over time.
Demand charges, however, add one additional step. They bill based on the maximum demand in a given TOU period. So while energy measurements accumulate based on actual consumption, much like your odometer would accumulate miles, demand charges are based on the maximum power reached within a particular period (i.e., the maximum point reached by your speedometer). If you're facility averages a 200kW load in a given period, but some anomaly causes a temporary spike in demand up to 400kW, you are charged for the 400kW demand — even if the anomaly only lasted for a short time.
Considering that demand charges account for as much as 40% of a typical customer's bill, these charges may seem outrageous, but electric utilities have just cause. While the commodity (energy) is the thing actually consumed, electric utilities are required to have the infrastructure in place to serve your instantaneous needs when they spike temporarily. In 2008, the California Independent System Operator (CALISO) reported that 5% of its required infrastructure was in operation only 0.2% of the time, and that 10% of their required infrastructure was in operation only 0.6% of the time. So, in essence, demand charges fund that inefficiency.
The avoidance of demand charges is an art of sorts, and is becoming the basis for an entire industry of technology. It also represents a significant opportunity for advanced commissioning services. If a particular project can be aligned in such a way that it reliably reduces a facility's demand, then the financial return can be significant. However, if that avoidance is not realized in the field, it can spell disaster for a project's economics.

London and New York will be the top destinations for the world's wealthy elite as the number of people worth more than $30 million swells 50 percent over the next decade, according to Knight Frank LLP's Wealth Report.
The two cities will remain the favored locations for the world's richest people until 2023 even though the fastest wealth creation will be in Asia and Latin America, according to the London-based property consulting firm.
The wealthiest 100 billionaires' net worth rose by $241 billion to $1.9 trillion in 2012 in spite of Europe's debt crisis and a stalling U.S. economic recovery, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world's 100 wealthiest individuals. Carlos Slim, the telecommunications magnate who controls Mexico's America Movil SAB, is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $71 billion, followed by Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates and Amancio Ortega, founder of retailer Inditex SA.
"Wealth creation has not been dented by the global economy slowing, nor has this affected the demand for prime property as the search for safe haven investments has continued," said Liam Bailey, global head of residential research at Knight Frank. "These factors will likely drive prime values higher in the short to medium term."
The number of high net worth individuals, classed as those with more than $30 million, rose by 8,700, or 5 percent, in 2012 and is expected to climb another 95,000, or 50 percent, over the next 10 years, according to the survey.
Monaco is the most expensive location to buy residential property with a luxury home costing $5,350 to $5,920 a square foot, according to Knight Frank. Jakarta and Bali posted the highest house price growth in 2012, with the cost of a property rising by 38 percent and 20 percent respectively.

Twenty-two children, ages from 6-13, were in attendance. They were taught the basic skills of passing and serving. The main focus on this clinic was to give back to the community while having fun and teaching the kids basic volleyball skills.
"With this being our first clinic, we didn't know how it was going to turn out," said assistant coach Samantha Sullivan who worked with the clinic along with assistant Ann Mullins. "But so far we have had nothing but positive feedback from the parents and kids."
The clinic was part of an emphasis of the athletic department to reach out to the community whenever possible.
"It is a great opportunity for our staff and athletes to give back to the community," said Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal. "It was awesome to see such a great turn out of kids who have never played before, to kids who play for local clubs such as Impact and Select.
"We have had wonderful support this year from many families, and this is our opportunity to give back to those families and help create a bigger fan base."
The next clinic is planned for March 22.

On the Art of the Theatre
"We cannot create anything worth seeing or hearing if, like a tame cat, we must first ask others what they think is the best thing to do, and the safest." Edward Gordon Craig, 1924
On the Art of the Theatre was first published in 1911, and remains one of the seminal texts of theatre theory and practice.
Actor, director, designer and pioneering theorist, Edward Gordon Craig was one of Twentieth Century Theatre's great modernisers. Here, he is eloquent and entertaining in expounding his views on the theatre; a crucial and prescient contribution that retains its relevance almost a century later.
This reissue contains a wealth of new features:
- A specially written Introduction and notes from editor Franc Chamberlain
- Updated bibliography
- Further Reading
Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was the son of an actor and an architect, and his celebrated career was a synthesis of the two professions. Aside from a prolific career in theatrical writing and direction, he is best known for his pioneering work in set design, not least the feted 1912 production of Hamlet, with Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Arts Theatre.
Franc Chamberlain is Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at University College Cork and Visiting Professor in Performance Studies and Creative Practice at the University of Northampton. He is author of Michael Chekhov (Routledge, 2003), co-editor of Jacques Lecoq and the British Theatre (Routledge, 2002), and editor of the Routledge Performance Practitioners series.

Shapeling BlueRain points out that in my last post I was unfair to okara, the main ingredient in the Magical Diet Cookies. She notes:
Okara (as well as Shirataki mentioned in someone's comment upthread) is a traditional food item in Japanese cuisine, and having it appropriated as "low-fat/low-cal miracle diet food" is offensive enough, but having it mocked here somehow makes it worse. Yes, there are cookies/crackers/biscuits made of okara, and they are quite yummy. They are NOT sold as diet cookies, but just plain snack-food.
I apologize for my ignorance and my assumption that okara was not yummy in sweets. Now I am really curious to try an okara-based treat (one that's not advertising its own magical weight-loss-and-water-absorption powers, that is). More to the point, it made me wonder what other perfectly wonderful foods have been hijacked by diet industry hype (and how that relates to cultural appropriation: the "French," the "Mediterranean," the "Okinawa" lifestyles…). Let's do an exercise in food positivity: what supposedly "diet" foods out there do you actually enjoy even — especially — when you're not on a diet? What foods have we been taught are "good" as in moral are actually just "good" as in "I like it put this in my mouth"?

Brown Bag Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr.: Lawyer, Judge, Public Citizen in Massachusetts and Beyond 6 March 2013.Wednesday, 12:00PM - 1:00PM Charles Wyzanski, Independent Scholar
For much of the 20th century, Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr., the presenter's father, engaged the leading individuals and intellectuals of his time and left his imprint on a surprising number of them. While a first-year law student in 1927, Wyzanski received a handwritten note from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, in which Holmes hoped that whenever Wyzanski's work "seemed to present only mean details, he might realize that every detail has the mystery of the universe behind it and keep up [his] heart with undying faith." Wyzanski did just that until his death in 1986, influencing to a remarkable degree the legal, political, intellectual, and moral life of his times.close

Astex Pharmaceuticals Ends Development of Lung Cancer Drug
Amuvatinib was being investigated in the Phase 2 ESCAPE (TrEatment of Small Cell lung cancer with Amuvatinib in combination with Platinum Etoposide) study. The study used a Simon 2-stage design with the primary objective in stage 1 of excluding the statistical probability with 90% confidence that the drug has less than 10% response rate in platinum refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Response evaluation by RECIST criteria showed 2 partial responses in the 21 evaluable patients of stage 1 (9.5% Response Rate). No new safety issues were identified, and biological markers studies are ongoing. There were several patients with prolonged stable disease. The results will be presented in a future scientific meeting.
"This clinical proof of concept (cPOC) amuvatinib trial was designed in two parts to define clinical activity and confirm clinical benefit and safety in combination with chemotherapy," said James S.J. Manuso, PhD, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have decided to end the clinical development of amuvatinib despite the favorable safety and preliminary clinical activity we observed in the first stage of this Phase 2 trial and in the earlier Phase 1b trial in combination platinum-etoposide based chemotherapy. We will consider the possibility of licensing the compound to any partners who would be interested in its further development."
"Amuvatinib's performance in the clinic was promising in the Phase 1b combination trial with DNA damaging agents," said Mohammad Azab, MD, chief medical officer. "There is no effective treatment for SCLC patients with truly platinum-refractory disease similar to the patients enrolled in this study. While some clinical activity was observed, the ESCAPE study response rate in stage 1 fell short of fully meeting our pre-specified primary endpoint. Consistent with our corporate strategy to move into advanced clinical stages only those agents that meet our pre-specified primary endpoints in the cPOC stage, we decided to discontinue the internal development of this program."
About Amuvatinib
Amuvatinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor which inhibits the mutant forms of c-Kit and PDGFR alpha. It also disrupts DNA repair likely through suppression of homologous recombination protein Rad51, an important survival pathway in many human cancers. In vitro and in vivo data have demonstrated amuvatinib synergy with DNA damaging agents including etoposide and doxorubicin. Overall, in the amuvatinib clinical development program, over 200 subjects were exposed to at least one dose of amuvatinib. In the Phase 1b clinical study in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, responses in SCLC, neuroendocrine as well as other tumor types were observed. Human pharmacokinetic data suggest that co-administration of amuvatinib did not alter exposures of standard of care agents including carboplatin, etoposide, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, topotecan or erlotinib as measured by overall exposure. In the first-in-human study, durable clinical benefit was observed in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with modulation of Rad51 observed in skin punch biopsies. In clinical trials, amuvatinib has demonstrated a wide therapeutic window and shows minimal toxicity in the expected therapeutic dose range, despite suppressing several signaling pathways within cells.

The BusinessObjects Security Model
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 provides a pretty complex suite of reporting, query and analysis, and performance-management tools. Such a broad range of products clearly has to cater to the needs of a variety of different user profiles, while at the same time handling security and access rights that become ever more complex as your system grows. You need a clear understanding of the BusinessObjects XI R2 security model and how it lets you manage what users can and cannot do.
Three key concepts you need to retain when thinking about the BusinessObjects security model are objects, groups, and users:
Objects: Objects lie at the heart of the BusinessObjects system. In BusinessObjects XI R2, objects can include reports, Web Intelligence documents, Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint), Adobe Acrobat PDFs, text files, hyperlinks, folders, and more.
Groups: A group is a logical grouping of individuals who all require similar rights and permissions. Combining them in this way allows you to make any changes to their rights and permissions in one place instead of having to modify each user's account individually.
Examples of groups could include specific roles (such as the group of people responsible for designing BusinessObjects universes) or particular departments or teams (such as managers in the Accounts Department).
Users: A user is each individual person who needs to interact with the BusinessObjects system in some way.

Thanks to MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this week's photo challenge:
Tallia anxiously glanced at Teegan who was asleep on her waiting area couch. She was sure Teegan would be angry at her for drugging his coffee, but Tallia didn't feel she had a choice. Something was off about Teegan and the darkness surrounding him and Tallia didn't want to make his potion rashly; there could be dire consequences.
She had found one ingredient which was odd, scrawled off to the side of the ingredients and directions for the potion for Teegan in her Aunt Willow's tome. Apparently, the potion required a giant gold fish. Tallia wasn't sure why Teegan's potion would require the gold fish, but it was something she would have to leave the store to buy.
Teegan had told her if he drank his potion the darkness surrounding him, the shadow that caused a sensitive magically inclined person such as Tallia to hurt and feel pain, would leave for a long time. How long was a long time? And how old was Teegan really? To her he looked about thirty-five.
If he was as old as she thought he might be, she knew he might understand the sleeping drought in his coffee, knowing Tallia as a magic shop owner, had to be wary if Teegan's potion involved dark magic. Tallia had no way of knowing how long he would be asleep from the drought. She had tried calling Jude, the owner of The Black Coven magic store numerous times on his cell.
Jude must be having a brisk business at his store because he or his assistant, never picked-up the store phone either. Jude was about eighty-years-old as best as she could guess. But his family magic shop dated back to the Middle Ages. He had to know something about Teegan and the potion.
Tallia checked on Teegan one more time, she hoped he'd be out another two hours at least. She needed to leave the store buy the giant goldfish as well as visit Jude. Something inside her told Tallia it was vital she gathered as much information she could get on Teegan and his potion before she set about making it.
She drove her Vespa to The Black Coven first. It was located in an ancient, rundown part of town dating back to the 1400's. But those who needed to visit Jude's magic shop, knew how to find it. As Tallia's own magic shop had been with Aunt Willow, Jude's place was also a hole in the wall.
The streets were narrow here and Tallia knew her Vespa would be more inconspicuous, as well as, she would be able to travel down narrow streets she couldn't maneuver with her car. There was a bit of parking lot a block down from The Black Coven. Tallia parked, leaving her Vespa in a parking space.
She walked down to the ancient magic shop, opening the creaky old wooden door and removed her side-bag. She had placed her Aunt's great tome in her bag. She turned the book to the correct page, listing ingredients and directions to make Teegan's potion in the script Tallia did not recognize.
Then she called out, "Hello Jude, are you there? It's Tallia, Willow's niece. I'm sure you felt me coming. Was there a reason you didn't pick up the phone? Or have you guys been extremely busy today?"
Tallia received no answer. She gazed around the dusty store, it appeared empty."Um, Jude's assistant, Aspen, are you here? We've never meant, but last time I talked to Jude, he'd said he hired you to take over from him?"
Again Tallia received no reply. She walked around the magic shop. The Black Coven was a mishmash of magical items all stored on old stone and wooden shelves in no particular order or thought to design.
Powerful and dangerous items were among those items which were standard, and pretty harmless magical items. She saw crystal balls, different statues, and a wall with ingredients for potions and spells kept in jars.
She was shocked to see certain items used only for dark sorcery. These items frightened Tallia. She could sense there blackness in her mind. They were much worse than the darkness which followed Teegan — at least she thought so.
Jude had always been grandfatherly to Tallia. She had meant him many times as grew-up. He often had coffee with her Great-Aunt and Aunt. She wondered why he wasn't answering her. Tallia walked up to the counter where a 1950's cash register sat in dust. There was a bell and Tallia dinged it a few times.
Eventually, a man about the same age as Teegan came out. He looked Tallia over and before she could say anything he held up his hand.
"We knew you were coming Tallia. It's alright. Jude hasn't been well lately and he's in the hospital. For his age, he has done well until now. It's why he hired me to handle things. I'm one of his great-grandsons, I'm. . ."
"You're Aspen. I know, Jude told me about you last time I saw him a few months ago. He attended my shop's re-opening. I run Fairy Dust."
"Yes, Jude told me about you. You rang his cell, but he has trouble talking right now my Aunt told me. He had a stroke. I'm sorry I was busy when you called out in here. From what I can glean from you, you're dealing with some sort of darkness from a client and you need some advice," Aspen said.
Tallia nodded, "Poor Jude, that's awful. I'm sorry for your family." She put the tome in front of Aspen and waited as he read and reread the potion procedure and ingredients.
"These seem to be pretty normal ingredients, except for the large goldfish. But maybe the potion requires it's life force? I'm not sure what to tell you Tallia. What's Teegan like?"
Tallia couldn't help but blush thinking about Teegan."He's demanding but seems to be understanding enough. I thought he was about your age, when he first came to my shop. I could feel the shadow emanating from him. It made me sick, especially when he came back the second time."
"The second time?"
"Well I pretended I was sick the first day, even though he did give me a headache. I went home for the afternoon and I hoped he'd go somewhere else. But the next day he was back. He told me he was old. My Aunt and Great Aunt made him his potion before. He was able to stop me from feeling ill, from hurting me, by chanting a few words," Tallia said.
"I'm not sure what I'm dealing with, will the potion truly make Teegan well? Will it make such evil leave him?"
Aspen was paying attention to Tallia's words carefully. She noticed he was concentrating. He wasn't bad looking himself. He had auburn hair and bright green eyes. He was tall but not as tall as Teegan. He was attractive but more in a nice guy way. Teegan was definitively what women would call a bad boy.
"Well," Aspen said,"I think your Teegan is cursed. That's why he needs the potion, quite badly I'm afraid. You really should hurry back and make it for him. We've an extra goldfish around here somewhere, we must."
"Cursed, cursed by what or whom?"
"It's hard to say Tallia. Jude would know more I think. Even so I believe Teegan is much older than Jude by hundreds of years. I've heard whispers of Teegan. He must have done something terrible in the past would be my guess. Something awful enough to warrant being cursed to live so long and to require a potion."
Tallia sighed, letting out her breath.
"I have a feeling if he doesn't get this tonic, he'll be a resistant foe to deal with Tallia. There's a reason he takes it. I doubt he wants to be who he is when he's dark. He wants to be normal and this potion allows him to be."
"You know all this?" Tallia questioned. "How did you know?"
Aspen smiled mysteriously, "There's things I've heard Tallia. Also, I can read through you, what you felt around Teegan. I can feel his presence too, so could Jude; he's a powerful guy. Go back and make his potion quickly. He'll be awake soon."
"But . . ."
"Tallia, such as you and many other magically inclined people, I have a sixth-sense. That's how I know these things.You have one too, although less developed. It's telling you to go back to Fairy Dust and hurry."
Her blue eyes became huge and Tallia nodded mutely. Aspen handed Tallia a bag with the giant goldfish."On the house," he said with a grin. She wondered how they had this giant goldfish just lying around. It wasn't a typical magical ingredient.
Tallia called back to Aspen lightly,"Stop by come check-out my store some time; have coffee." He walked her to the door and Tallia stuffed the tome back in her side bag.
"I'd like that," Aspen said grinning. He winked at Tallia as she left. She was deep in thought and was surprised to find herself getting onto her Vespa, placing the fish on the back of it.
She told herself to pay attention and hurriedly drove back to Fairy Dust. Tallia too felt she needed to make Teegan his potion and fast. She prayed he wouldn't be angry with her or worse. With such darkness within him, she didn't want to be an object of Teegan's wrath.

You're not looking at a new phone headed to stores any time soon—in fact, you're looking at the surprisingly sleek, all-touch webOS smartphone developed by HP which (sadly?) never was.
Unearthed by webOS Nation, this phone—codenamed WindsorNot—had similar innards to the Pre 3, but focussed on an all-touch, 4-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen, and ran webOS 3.x. That's the same OS as the ill-fated HP TouchPad so, in reality, perhaps it's best that it never saw light of day.
The phone was initially slated for release in late 2011, but a series of delays meant that in the end the phone wouldn't have been able to ship until 2012. That caused AT&T to lose interest in the project, largely because it didn't pack LTE—something that the carrier wanted to push that year.
It certainly looked the part—for 2011, at least—though it's also clear that the development schedule was as troubled as the rest of webOS. Regardless of whether the phone had ever made it to market it or not, it's probably fair to say that it wouldn't have rescued the OS from its fate. [WebOS Nation via Verge]

SYDNEY and DURHAM, N.C., March 21, 2013 -- RNAi-based therapeutics company Benitec Biopharma Limited (ASX Code: BLT) today announced the selection of the Duke Clinical Research Unit, the early phase unit of the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), Durham, North Carolina, USA as a site for its upcoming phase I/II first-in-man trial for TT-034 in Hepatitis C. TT-034 is being developed as a potential "one-shot-cure" for Hepatitis C (HCV).
"We are very excited to be working with Duke, a world renowned research institution with significant experience in this area," said Peter French , Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Benitec. "The TT-034 trial marks the transition of Benitec to a clinical stage company. We expect that positive results from the trial will provide a value inflection point for the company, and also be a validation for our ddRNAi technology as an effective platform for therapeutics."
The phase I/II clinical trial is an open-label dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and activity of single doses of
TT-034 in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection who have failed previous treatments. The trial is expected to involve 14 patients in 5 sequential dose cohorts. Additional consolidation cohorts may be added during the study to confirm the results of the trial. The primary safety endpoints are dose limiting adverse events. The primary activity end points are serum viral load reduction and degree of hepatocyte transduction (measured through liver biopsies). There is a pre-specified interim read on safety and activity within months of trial commencement. The clinical trial is expected to begin enrolling patients during the second half of 2013.
Duke's principal investigator for the study will be Keyur Patel , M.D. Dr Patel has previous experience with oligonucleotide therapeutics in HCV, is a recipient of the prestigious American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Shelia Sherlock Clinical and Translational Research award and has over 100 citations in peer-reviewed publications.
"TT-034 is a potentially transformative new treatment," Dr. Patel commented. "A therapeutic that could cure an HCV patient with a single injection would obviously be a big step forward compared to even the best treatments that are currently on the horizon, as they all involve comparatively lengthy regimens with a combination of several drugs."
About TT-034
TT-034 is a potentially transformative therapeutic that is intended to provide a "one-shot-cure" for Hepatitis C with a single injection. TT-034 works through RNA interference (RNAi), which is a naturally occurring regulatory process in cells that acts to "silence" genes after they have been transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA. Benitec's proprietary ddRNAi approach involves the introduction of a DNA vector that produces short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) that are processed by the cell into siRNAs. This approach emulates the cell's own gene silencing mechanism and provides long term activity (months). Moreover, the virus vector used to deliver the TT-034 construct, an engineered non-replicating adeno-associated virus (AAV8), targets almost exclusively liver cells (where HCV replicates). TT-034 is further designed to prevent viral escape through mutations (a major problem for most HCV drugs) by using three different shRNAs to simultaneously target three separate highly conserved regions in the HCV genome. In mice and monkeys, TT0-034 has been shown to transduce 100% of hepatocytes in the liver and provide high shRNA activity for 180 days (the duration of the studies), without adverse effects.

Internship Information
- Important information regarding criminal and abuse background checks and fingerprinting
- For additional information visit Internships at Shippensburg University
Psychology Internship
A psychology internship is a situation in which you, as an advanced student in Psychology, gain supervised practical experience directly related to previous classroom instruction. In the past, students have completed psychology internships in settings such as mental health centers, schools, prisons, and businesses. Our graduates often comment that their internship was their most useful and most enjoyable college experience!
The exact nature of the internship will vary depending upon the internship site and the types of learning objectives you wish to pursue. A faculty member will provide you with a syllabus outlining academic requirements that will encourage integration of prior classroom learning with current practical experiences.
Basic Requirements
In order to participate in the internship program, you must have completed 60 credits toward graduation at the time your internship begins, including 15 credits in Psychology. You must have a 2.0 grade point average or better, overall and in Psychology. Only grades earned at Shippensburg University count. You also must complete an internship application that will need to be approved by 1) the professor teaching the internship class, 2) the psychology internship committee, and 3) the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
If your internship involves one-to-one confidential and personal interaction with clients, you must take PSY 384 (Person to Person Interaction) prior to your internship. Likewise, if it involves group interaction, you must take PSY 361 (Group Interaction) prior to your internship. If your internship will involve interaction with children, you must have taken a child psychology or child development course prior to your internship. Comparable training may qualify. Please discuss your preparation with your agency, faculty internship coordinator, or the department internship coordinator. Approval of your internship application will depend, in part, on your academic preparation for the particular internship you are proposing.
Finding an Internship Position
We can help you find an internship position. Make an appointment with your advisor or the internship coordinator (currently Dr. Weikel) as they can help you find an internship that fits your educational and career goals and for which you are academically prepared.
After getting information about internship sites, you should call the agency (or agencies) to discuss your interests and theirs. You will probably need to schedule an interview with the agency.. The agency must be willing to provide adequate supervision of constructive work -- that is, we expect that you will be doing meaningful things rather than busy-work. Also, the agency must be willing to complete mid-term and final intern evaluation forms which are sent to your internship professor. In addition, a representative for the internship site must sign the Letter of Agreement for Internships, found in the application packet.
The Application Forms
Applications are available from the Psychology Department internship coordinator and the secretary, or can be downloaded here:
Application deadlines are:
- Spring Internships - November 20
- Summer and Fall Internships - May 1
The application includes a Letter of Agreement page. On that page there are lines for signatures. You will need to sign on the student line and you will also need to get the signature of the internship professor and a signature from a representative at the internship site. After getting the signatures of the internship professor and the internship site representative and completing the rest of the application, give the application to the department internship coordinator. The coordinator will have the Psychology Department Internship Committee review your application. If your application is approved by that committee, the coordinator will forward your application to the College of Arts & Sciences for final approval. If your application is approved by the College of Arts & Sciences you will be registered for the internship class.
After your internship application is approved by the department internship coordinator and the Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences - the department will take care of forwarding your application to the Dean's office - the department secretary will schedule you for the appropriate number of internship credits. You do not need to schedule the internship yourself. Check you schedule on the MySHIP Portal about four weeks after the application deadline to make sure your internship has been registered correctly.
Academic Requirements
You will be expected to complete 120 "work" hours for a 3-credit internship. In addition, you will also need to complete further requirements that will involve your integration of the internship experience with prior classroom knowledge. At a minimum, you will need to keep a log of your experiences each day and write a paper at the end of the internship. Your internship professor will give you a syllabus outlining the requirements and the basis for assigning an internship grade.
Your Review of Your Internship
At the end of the internship experience, you are expected to complete the Student Internship Evaluation Form (included in the application packet). Please give it to the department internship coordinator or the secretary. It will be kept on file and may wind up in our internship booklet for other students to read.
Some Points of Ethics
- Any complication with the program is to be promptly and completely discussed with your internship advisor or the department internship coordinator.
- Be sure you have agency approval before getting involved in new areas of activity on-the-job. Know the extent and limits of your responsibility and be conscientious in their fulfillment.
- You must safeguard all personal and confidential material concerning clients, patients, or workers, and use it only for professional purposes. Do not carry confidential information outside the agency. Make sure to use fictitious names in your academic paper where confidentiality would be compromised!
- This is a step towards a professional career. Please behave like a professional!
