A Federal Judge struck down South Dakota's marriage equality ban yesterday.
The Washington Blade reports:
In a 28-page decision, U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier, a Clinton appointee, grants summary judgement to plaintiff same-sex couples in the case, saying the South Dakota's marriage ban runs contrary to their rights to equal protection and due process under the U.S. Constitution. "In Loving, the Supreme Court addressed a traditionally accepted definition of marriage that prohibited Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving from marrying," Schreier writes. "Because Virginia's laws deprived that couple of their fundamental right to marriage, the Court struck down those laws. Little distinguishes this case from Loving. Plaintiffs have a fundamental right to marry. South Dakota law deprives them of that right solely because they are same-sex couples and without sufficient justification."
Unfortunately, the judge stayed her own decision, so same sex couples in South Dakota will have to wait to get married.
Ari Ezra Waldman argues that there should have been no stay:
It no longer makes any sense, not after the Supreme Court refused to grant a stay in Florida pending appeal. As I argued previously, the Court's refusal to extend the stay beyond January 5, 2015 was special because it was the first time the Court let stand a pro-marriage equality decision in a jurisdiction where the appellate court (11th Circuit, in this case) had not yet spoken. Everywhere else, in South Carolina, for example, or in Idaho, the Court let marriage equality go into effect because the Fourth and Ninth Circuits, respectively, had spoken.
South Dakota is in the Eighth Circuit, which has not had occasion to decide a marriage equality case in the post-Windsor world. Therefore, with respect to the stay, South Dakota is just like Florida: a state with a pro-equality federal district court decision that should not be stayed even though the superior circuit court has not yet spoken. It is a shame the stay was put into effect. The judge was probably just being cautious. But her caution extends the hours of discrimination and second-class citizenship for thousands of gay men and women.

P. Duc Si Dong, Ph.D. (principle investigator) - Dr. Dong received his Bachelor of
Science degree in Biology from the University of California, Irvine, where he was an undergraduate
researcher in the labs of Dr. Walter M. Fitch and Dr. Susan V. Bryant, pioneers of molecular evolution
and limb regeneration, respectively. He earned his Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology investigating
master control genes in appendage development at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2002. His
graduate studies resulted in four senior author articles, published in Development and in PNAS, helped
to resolve the mechanism of the famous Antennapedia mutation and was among the first to show that tissue
identity in an animal can be reprogrammed using a cocktail of genes. He did his postdoctoral research at
the University of California, San Francisco, where he was a JDRF Fellow and an L.L. Hillblom Fellow,
investigating development and diabetes in the laboratory of Dr. Didier Stainier. His postdoctoral work
yielded senior author publications in Nature Genetics and Genes & Development, where he demonstrated how
the zebrafish vertebrate model could be leveraged to uncover unique insight into organogenesis. In 2008,
Dr. Dong was recruited as an Assistant Professor to Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute to continue
his research in developmental genetics and disease. His lab has developed the first mutant zebrafish
monogenic diabetes model and Alagille Syndrome model, and is continuing to develop other disease models
that will be amendable for drug discovery. He is a recipient of the NIH Director's New Innovator Award and
the W.M. Keck Foundation Award which fund the creation of new technologies to directly convert cells within
a living vertebrate to become replacement tissues, bypassing the need for stem cells. "My current goal is to
uncover fundamental insight into developmental genetics and to determine how gene function can be manipulated
to help cure diseases and advance regenerative medicine."
K.G. Morse (Administrative Assistant) – I provide administrative support for members of the
Dong Lab with the goal of allowing them more time to focus on their science.
Joseph Lancman, Ph.D. (postdoc) – I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in
the laboratory of Dr. John Fallon where I studied patterning and morphogenesis of the vertebrate limb. This
experience solidified my interests and led me to pursue post-doctoral work that would allow me to explore how
developmental genes can impact human health and disease as well as the regenerative potential of vertebrates.
Since joining Dr. Dong's laboratory, my studies helped us to discover the genes required for the specification
of progenitors that will go on to form the entire liver and pancreas system. My studies are now focused on the
mechanism of induced in vivo lineage conversion. Using this approach, I aim to generate replacement beta-cells,
the insulin producing cells lost in diabetics.
Keith Gates, Ph.D. (postdoc) – I received my Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Stony Brook University
where I studied the development of embryonic nervous system. My interest in organogenesis and regeneration led to
me to this lab. The development of the hepatopancreatic system is a complex process involving the precise
coordination of cell lineage specification, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. My research is
centered on how these events are determined through the interactions of signaling pathways and transcriptional
networks. I am currently focused on the mechanism of Jagged/Notch signaling in Alagille Sydrome biliary paucity
and regeneration. I am also using the fish vertebrate model as a platform investigate Alagille Syndrome disease
alleles and Jagged/Notch basic biology and downstream mechanisms.
Jonaton Matalonga (postdoc) – I received my Ph.D in Biomedicine at the University of Barcelona,
Spain in Dr. Annabel Valledor 's lab where we unraveled a novel mechanism displayed by the specific nuclear receptor
Liver X Receptor that protects macrophages from intracellular invasive bacteria such as Salmonella Typhimurium. I
recently joined Dr. Dong's lab to work on projects that would address new therapeutic approaches to human diseases.
My aims are to generate replacement cells by reprogramming cells in the body to directly adopt a new lineage identity.
Particularly, I am working to determine which types of cells/tissues can be directly lineage reprogrammed into endoderm
and further into beta cells. Further, I am translating our discoveries from fish to mammals, both in vitro and in vivo.
Sean Zeng (staff scientist) – I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Ph.D. degree in the field of
Developmental Genetics and Cell Biology, and studied heart development as a postdoc at UCSD. I am interested in how
progenitor cells contribute to organ formation and growth during normal development and regeneration. Employing genetic,
transgenic, genome editing, and live imaging techniques in zebrafish, my research uses the cardiac and pancreatic lineages
a model system to answer questions regarding the mechanisms of development and disease. I am currently focused on
understanding how Jagged mutations contributes to Alagille Syndrome pathologies, including heart and vascular defects. Based
on our recent discoveries, we believe that it will be possible to reverse Alagille Syndrome defects,leading us to screen for
potential drugs to help cure this disease.
Michelle Edwards (CIRM intern) – I earned my Associates in Science - Biology Allied Health in 2015 and I'm
currently pursuing a Bachelor degree in Science – Biology Cal State San Marcos. During my training I became interested in
Regenerative Medicine and the development of new treatments against degenerative diseases. To further understand the mechanisms
involved, I joined the Dong Lab through the CIRM Bridges to Stem Cell Research Internship in which I am participating in
projects involved in cell reprogramming in the context of Diabetes.
Andrew Thomas (CIRM intern) – I received my Ph.D. in Developmental and Cell Biology from the University of
California Irvine in the lab of Dr. Steven Gross. I studied regulation of the motor protein kinesin by the signaling kinase CK2
both in vitro and in cells. I determined that kinesin inactivated over time due to a conformational change in the motor domain.
This inactivation and structural change was reversed by CK2 in a kinase-independent manner. I also expanded CK2 mediated motor
activation to other kinesin family members and implicated the interaction in cancer.
Since joining Dr. Dong's lab, I am developing new reporter zebrafish lines to measure glucose levels and ROS in diabetic models
of zebrafish. In parallel, I am exploring different methods of regeneration to restore glucose homeostasis as alternative treatments
for diabetes – from regeneration of beta-cells to regrowth of a new pancreas.
Dani O'Rerio (Lab Fish) – I make genetic jujitsu possible in the lab.
Pinki N. d'Brane (Lab Mouse) – Keep calm and try to take over the world.

Mass Effect 3 Dumbed Down and Delayed to 2012.
9 comments:
You mighta had something here, if:ReplyDelete
1. Someone from BioWare was quoted, instead of the CEO of EA
2. This quote was taken from somewhere other than a Q&A for investors.
From what I see, it's just shit Riccitiello is saying to entice investors, PR talk and nothing more. And saying that he's "shifting the IP to address a larger market opportunity" could just mean moving the release date up to early 2012 to avoid competition with holiday releases this year, instead of trying to make Mass Effect the next CoD, which wouldn't make any sense for EA to try to do anyway, since that would mean ME3 is competing with Battlefield 3, also published by EA.
To me, it sounds like Eurogamer spun this around, or misinterpreted it. Never trust the press.
Of course, I could be wrong and EA is evil and Mass Effect is gonna be a dudebro-shooter, BioWare is the worst developer in the world, and everything is wrong with video games and blah blah blah.
"EA is evil and Mass Effect is gonna be a dudebro-shooter, BioWare is the worst developer in the world, and everything is wrong with video games"ReplyDelete
And there you have it, folks. Direct quote.
Auditioning for a job at FOX News, huh magx? lolololol.ReplyDelete
Don't be hatin.'ReplyDelete
I'm going to replace Glen Beck. Someone has to pick up the logical slack.
Fucking delay. :/ReplyDelete
The way I see it Pseudo, the delay is nothing but good news. The ONLY thing about ME3 I was sweating after that fantastic GI article was the release date, as the worst part of Dragon Age 2 was how it was rushed. I'm fine with them taking as much time as they need to make it the best game they can make with the vision they have for it.ReplyDelete
I can hear the straining, SykoReplyDelete
Be snarky while you can, magx. I am gonna have so much fun paying you back when Ninja Gaiden III comes out.ReplyDelete
But I'm already expecting it to suck....ReplyDelete

Published at Tuesday, March 05th, 2019 - 13:08:58 PM. Living Room. By Adelisa Wolf.
The best way to make use of leather sofa is to use a modern leather sofa set. Using them in the form of a set can be a great way to occupy the room with a multifunctional furniture items. This is because the sofa set can be manipulated into individual pieces of furniture for changing the furniture layout to cater the human traffic patterns in the room.
When we think of traditional living room design we often associate it with large houses, manors, hotels and palaces. Traditional living room design has existed for a long time because of the formal and graceful effect it brings to the home.

"Lets go to Hyderabad!!!!"
"How many days does that require????"
"3 days minimum"
"Naah !!! We are short on leaves, lets go to a 2 day destination"
"Ok, how about Ooty"
"Naah, I heard it is not so good nowadays"
"Ok, how about Waynad??"
"Naah, there are only mountains and lakes over there"
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah........ (goes on for about 30 mins....)
"Uffff, too many constraints everywhere. Fine, lets go to Ooty itself"
"Finally. Ok"
After a frantic search for a family outing destination , we finally ended up going to Ooty against most of our wishes since for other destinations there was one or the other constraint involved. This was my 3rd trip to this Queen of Hill stations (looks like there are a lot of such Queens in India), the first as a kid in 1994, the second in an adventurous bike ride in 2009 and now it being a laid back vacation.
|Opum Gangnam Styllleee !!!!
After Madumalai we came to the crossroads, one leading to the famous and steep 36 hairpin bend route and the other normal bus route. Anyway we decided to take the bus route since I had remembered it to be very good if not the shortest . But presently it is in a bad state, littered with potholes. But the views started to get good. At one point we were surrounded by dense eucalyptus trees and it was here we decided to take a break. After we stopped it hit upon me this was the exact spot where I had stopped while returning back all wet, dirty and freezing during the 2009 trip. NOSTALGIA :).
My brother had already booked rooms in a resort name Delightz Inn on top of Tiger Hill, based upon trip advisor reviews. Even though finding this place is a bit difficult with it being around 4 kms from the city center, the views from this place is the best even when compared to some of the tourist frequented attractions of Ooty such as the lake, botanical park etc. But ya this comes at a price and only those with a private vehicle of their own wouldn't have a problem of reaching it. There is absolute calmness around this place which was surprising since Ooty is notorious for being an overly commercial hill station.

The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi
Rating – 4 out of 5
In The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi, Maya, is a forgotten princess. Growing up in her father's harem, she is often ignored or else reviled because her horoscope spells death and misfortune. When the kingdom needs her, Maya is called upon to marry which leads to an adventure where the fate of the world and underworld hang in the balance.
Favorite Quote
Why I liked The Star-Touched Queen
This book, like A Court of Thorns and Roses, has many elements of folklore and faerie tales. The story is epic and expansive. There are many twists and turns to this story, many of which I did not see coming. But they were also told in a disconcerting way that seems to be a sign of the genre. I had a hard time following the plot for most of the novel. Once I started thinking of the book less like a linear story and more like a fairy tale in the oral tradition the story opened up. Especially later in the book it helps to think of the story as if someone was telling it around a campfire. Much like a house with no furniture, it had all of the elements of a great plot but none of the substance I was craving.
That being said, I thought the story itself was inventive. Some of the tropes were the same to the mostly germanic faerie tales and greek mythology I grew up on, this had a distinctive Indian twist. The interplay between the over world, the under world and the world between was like nothing I had ever seen before. The story did not shy away from death, destruction and loss. It was refreshing to read something obviously steeped in the same type of lore that I heard as a child but was new to my cannon of stories. This book had a good plot, but be ready to put in the labor of making it complete in your head.

A Canton man seen running through yards and up onto a porch in a northwest neighborhood early Friday morning had crack cocaine. It was his second arrest for cocaine possession within a week.
A Canton man who went to jail for having cocaine less than a week ago was arrested again Friday for possession of the same drug.
Robert L. Rue, 38, of 2702 12th St. NW, was running through yards and onto a porch in the 1100 block of Broad Avenue NW when police caught up to him again about 1 a.m. Friday, Stark County Jail records said.
When they found a crack cocaine pipe in his front pocket, he dropped an undisclosed amount of crack cocaine in attempt to hide it from the officer, the jail records said.
He was booked into the jail on charges of felony evidence tampering, cocaine possession and drug paraphernalia possession.
He had just left the jail on July 25, released on his own recognizance following his cocaine possession arrest the day before, jail records said.
Rue remained in the jail later Friday, held in lieu of $50,250 bond.
He went to prison in 2004 for cocaine possession, Stark County Court records said.

Hi everyone, it's been far too long since my last post. I've been busy doing lots of things, including finding a new place to live and packing. I've also been listening to a lot of music while programming and tinkering. (If you're interested: rock music by Rush, industrial electronica by Skinny Puppy, and folk by a German band named Faun. All three of these bands are fantastic for coding!)
The Riddle of the Sphinx
Sphinx is a great documentation creation module for Python, which uses reStructuredText files to generate docs in whatever format you like (usually HTML). reStructuredText (.rst) files look weird, but they're quite easy to write once you learn how. Sphinx uses the DocUtils module, which has a handy program "rest2html.py" that can convert a .rst file straight to an HTML file. Sphinx also has an autodoc/automodule feature, which can read the docstrings in your source code as reStructuredText and turn them into attractive HTML docs too. And my favourite feature, the "sphinx-apidoc" script, can walk through all your project's subdirectories and source files , and suck any docstrings from every single Python script it finds, automatically.
So here are a few tips about getting going quickly with Sphinx documentation for Python. I need to install Sphinx first:
$ pip install sphinx
I have a little project named "sphinxy" which contains a structure like this:
$ tree sphinxy
├── docs
└── sphinxy
├── big.py
└── package1
├── __init__.py
├── small1.py
└── small2.py
The file "big.py" looks like this (and the other .py files are similar):
#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
This module contains functions that are big.
:copyright: (c) 2012 by Scott Davies for Web Drive Ltd.
import package1.small1 as small1
from package1.small2 import Smallish, small2_cool, small2_rebel
def big_func1(abra, cadabra, sesame=None):
"""This is about big_func1.
:param abra: abra number.
:param cadabra: cadabra number.
:param sesame: sesame information.
:return ret_val: result information.
:rtype: int.
ret_val = abra + cadabra
return ret_val
if __name__ == "__main__":
ret_val = big_func1(4, 5, sesame={"street": "adding up"})
Notice some strange "~" and ":" characters in the docstrings? That's reStructuredText. Now what I want to do is just get Sphinx to read all the .py files in my project, and spin together some HTML documentation for me. (Since I can't be bothered typing custom .rst files and setting "automodule" everywhere.) So I run the "sphinx-apidoc" script, and want to put the new documentation generated in the "docs" directory.
$ cd ~/code/py/sphinxy
$ sphinx-apidoc -F -o docs sphinxy
Creating file docs/big.rst.
Creating file docs/package1.rst.
Creating file docs/conf.py.
Creating file docs/index.rst.
Creating file docs/Makefile.
Creating file docs/make.bat.
If I go into my "docs" directory now, I can see a bunch of .rst files (and other things to help them) in there.
$ cd docs; ls
big.rst conf.py make.bat package1.rst _templates
_build index.rst Makefile _static
The index page, i.e. the root/start page of my new documentation, is called "index.rst". If I have a look at it, the important parts are like this (a table of contents tree):
Welcome to sphinxy's documentation!
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 4
That's what I wanted! Yahoo. What I need to do now is convert those .rst files into my desired format, HTML. For that, I'm going to have to edit a setting in the "conf.py" file, so that Sphinx can find the directory I want it to start running from. I'll uncomment the line that adds to the sys.path for Sphinx autodoc to work:
$ vim conf.py
I change this line, and save:
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../../sphinxy'))
Then I create my HTML docs!
$ make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html

genindex.html _modules package1.html search.html _sources
Here is the index.html file viewed in a browser:
Here is the file big.html in a browser:
Make sure you read the online structuredText tutorials available, to help you in future. Here's a quick example of editing a .rst file manually, which you'll understand if you've read a few tutorials. This is part of a file I wrote to document a web services API, for calling a URL "init":
Initialises a workflow by attempting to save a non-template workflow to the database.
It will retrieve workflow template information for the workflow name and populate the new workflow with the information. It will also populate these workflow fields with initial default values: current_step_task, template_id, status, state.
* **name** - the name of a workflow as a string.
i.e. send a JSON request in this format:
"name": unicode(50)
Inside the JSON response dict:
* **errors** - a list of any errors (strings) that may have occurred.
* **confirmations** - a list of any confirmations that may have occurred.
* **workflow_id** - the ObjectId string of the new workflow.
"errors": [],
"confirmations: ["Successfully initialised workflow. "]
"workflow_id": "4ea5e2afcd8bbf1491000005"
**Usage example:**
base_url = "http://asapweb3.local.org.nz:9003/approvals/"
request_dic = {"name": "Purchase Order Workflow}
req = urllib2.Request(url=base_url + "init",
headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
resp = opener.open(req)
json_resp_strg = resp.read()
# Get the info from the json string
json_resp = json.loads(json_resp_strg)
And here is the HTML page result via Sphinx (yay!):
Till next time, fellow Sphinxians. :)

More on European Democracy
Extending the meme we noted from Paul Johnson below, Janet Daley writes in the Daily Telegraph. To Johnson she adds the insight that the Europeans tried it and found it wanting:
Europe has pretty much given up on the whole undertaking now: we tried it and it ended in the Terror. We went through our phase of proselytising democratic revolution with Bonaparte and look where that ended. Spreading freedom? All that amounts to is killing off one generation of autocrats and replacing them with another. Trust the people? They are just as likely to follow a fascist demagogue as to perpetuate the sacred principle of justice.
Better to make your cynical peace with the worst aspects of human nature than to pretend that free men will always choose good over evil. Much better to make a mutually profitable trade-off behind the scenes than to expose political decisions to the popular will. What evidence is there that the people actually know what is best for them? Most charitably, the European philosophy of government – shortly to be permanently installed under the EU constitution – is paternalistic. At worst, it is arrogant and authoritarian.
But whatever it is, it no longer has a belief in real democracy of the kind that Americans recognise – government of the people, by the people and for the people – at its heart.
One might also add that the fallout from the failures of those experiments – a truly shocking amount of war and bloodshed – has sapped whatever vitality the Europeans might once have had, and the rest got on a boat and emigrated to the United States. But one look at the Netherlands will remind us that there is a people waiting to take over.

Dizzy Gillespie's brilliant music sets the tone for this sizzling ballet celebrating four decades of his work. Choreographed in 1992 by Billy Wilson, The Winter in Lisbon pays tribute to Mr. Gillespie as the consummate jazz musician, evoking an atmosphere in which the dancers challenge, tease, and pursue romance against a backdrop of rhythm and color.
"A joyful dance that gives an emotional lift" raved the Associated Press.
It's "an onstage party with rhythm, color, and surprises," raved The New York Times.

Because of quadratic memory requirements classical boundary element realisations are applicable only for a rather moderate number N of boundary elements. A possible solution to this problem is to take advantage of the good approximation properties of the boundary element matrices. One established approximation scheme is called the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) [1, 2].
In this talk the author's ideas of how to apply the ACA to boundary element formulations of the harmonic Maxwell equations are explained and illustrated by numerical experiments. The principal topics are

Workplace bullying common in medical practice, says Irish Medical Organisation
The IMO maintained that nearly one third of women non-consultant hospital doctors reported being bullied on the basis of their gender. File photograph: iStock
One in five women non-consultant hospital doctors say they have been sexually harassed in their workplace in the past two years, according to the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO).
The organisation also maintained that nearly one third (27.7 per cent) of women non-consultant hospital doctors, 13.2 per cent of female consultants, 10.4 per cent of GPs and 5 per cent of community health and public health doctors reported being bullied on the basis of their gender in the same two-year period. The report does not specify who the perpetrators were.
The figures were set out in a submission by the IMO earlier this week to the Public Service Pay Commission which is examining areas where recruitment and staff retention is a growing problem.
The IMO argued that pay levels were the main driver in the emigration of young doctors. It said 66.2 per cent of non-consultant hospital doctors perceived pay to be a primary reason for their peers leaving Ireland. It said more than 58 per cent of non-consultant hospital doctors had been approached by an agency or employer seeking to recruit them to a medical post abroad.
However, the IMO also contended that there were numerous cultural issues that acted as a barrier to recruitment and retention which the HSE had often failed to address meaningfully.
It noted that "bullying, harassment, and sexual harassment appear to remain common features of medical practice in Ireland, despite efforts to curtail their impact and prevalence".
The IMO said research it had conducted last year found 21 per cent of female non-consultant hospital doctors reported being sexually harassed in the workplace in the previous two years.
There were, it said, increasing problems in recruiting consultants to the Irish health system, noting that 60 per cent of advertisements for consultant posts last year attracted two applications or fewer.
"This highlights the deep unattractiveness with which the Irish health service is viewed by those seeking consultant posts."
The IMO said a survey of consultants indicated that 27 per cent were considering taking up a post abroad in the foreseeable future, with 76.6 per cent of all consultants believing they would earn more if they were to move abroad.
The survey found that 68.5 per cent of respondents considered improved levels of remuneration would prove useful in ensuring their retention, and that of their peers, within the Irish health service.
The IMO also maintained the two-tier pay structure under which doctors recruited after 2012 are paid less than those in place before then was also contributing to difficulties in filling senior medical positions.

2G: Unitech MD withdraws plea for ailing son
New Delhi: Sanjay Chandra, Managing Director of Unitech Ltd and a co-accused in the 2G case, today withdrew his plea from the Delhi High Court seeking permission to go to Singapore for treatment of his 9-year-old son.
Chandra, who wanted to catch a flight today, withdrew his plea as Justice Indermeet Kaur declined to grant him the immediate relief. "The petition is dismissed as withdrawn," the court said.
Earlier, Special CBI judge O P Saini had rejected Chandra`s plea seeking permission to go to Mount Elizabeth Hospital at Singapore for the treatment of his minor son, who has been suffering from a kidney problem earlier and now been diagnosed with diabetes.
Chandra had sought permission to go abroad between December 24 and 29 saying the doctor has given him appointment for December 27. CBI, however, had opposed the plea saying probe regarding the money trail in the 2G case was still on.
"The probe in the case is being looked by two agencies, the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED). Investigation related to money trail in the 2G scam is still going on. ED had sent Letters Rogatory to its counterparts in Singapore and the agency is yet to receive the reply from them," CBI had said.
The CBI, in its reply, had opposed the plea saying someone else could accompany the child to Singapore for treatment. Chandra and Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Pvt Ltd were put on trial in the case on October 22 this year and he was granted bail on November 23 by the Supreme Court.

The DWP sees itself as the lead Government department on older people. With a quirky newsrelease (29 May), it sought to link its work on pensions with the Diamond Jubilee, and issued a story entitled 'Pensioners Change the Face of Britain over the Queen's Reign'. So no lack of bureaucratic artiface there, despite Steve Webb's customary whimsical supportive commentary.
A killer fact is that there are around 13,120 centenarians today compared with 300 in 1952. The Queen has sent around 110,000 telegrams and messages to centenarians during her reign. A case of royal writers' cramp – a case for a quick appeal to fund a new fountain pen and plentiful supply of ink for the years ahead? We are living a decade longer than our peers in 1952, but only in the last six years or so have we begun to remodel our state pension scheme to reflect our changed society, and only then at a glacial speed.
Beveridge left us a legacy of a flat-rate state pension, designed with the limited ambition of protecting older people from poverty, and based on a model where men worked and paid contributions, with their wives (who worked at home unpaid, and to whom they remained loyally married all their lives) would share if they were widowed. With a few tweaks, that model remained right into this century. It is to the credit of the last and present Government that we have seen that model change – if modestly.

Sometimes you hear a word or concept that changes how you look at the world. For me, these include speciecism and epistemic injustice.
Speciecism is analogous to racism and sexism, but for species: treating another being differently because they are of another species. Speciecism is about intent; if you eat chickens because they are chickens and not humans, that is speciecist, but if you eat chickens because you concluded from observation that they are incapable of suffering, that is not speciecist.
Epistemic injustice is when someone is wronged in their capacity as a knower. If you unjustly limit somebody's ability to access or express knowledge, like forbidding them from learning to read or speak, that is an epistemic injustice.
I am an outspoken anti-speciecist and I think we should do what we can to prevent epistemic injustice in all forms. But some animals have learned enough language to meaningfully communicate with humans. Does that mean I should find it reprehensible that there are no schools for animals? I think I should and I think I do, but I feel hesitant to firmly claim the position.

By now you've probably read or heard about the New York Times profile on Toronto and its we-don't-care attitude about the Pan Am Games. The author Ian Austen suggests Pan Am arrived with a thud, and that "too few spectators seem to care." Evidently, the city is more concerned with "the disruption caused by blocking certain lanes on the city's already congested expressways."
But that's not entirely true, and we have proof. There is enthusiasm for the Pan Am Games, and it can be found right in the downtown core. At a strip club. Well, two strip clubs. The first is a hotel-strip club named Filmores, and they are really rooting for the athletes.
Filmores is a self-proclaimed "Good Club" and "Canada's ULTIMATE Gentlemen's Club." And, during "PAN-AMANIA," being the ultimate means offering free lap dances to gold medal winners for the duration of the games. We spoke with Gerard, an employee at Filmores, who tells us the club has been "pretty packed."
And if that doesn't say camaraderie and "go sports!" then we don't know what does. Gerard also tells us that they are required to see the gold medal, and that it isn't just something they have on their sign. So, Filmores wants to reward winners, not average Joes pretending to be roller skate figure skating champions.
But Filmores isn't the only strip club that has caught Pan Am fever. In fact, Club Zanzibar on Yonge St., with its "dozens of nude dancers," claims to be "Pan Am Lapdance Headquarters!!!" Which seems like quite the honourable (and excited) designation, if you can get it.
We asked Gerard how Filmores feels about Club Zanzibar calling itself lap dance headquarters, and he tells us, "We don't care. It's just friendly competition." He also makes sure to note that "[Filmores] is the only club that actually has a legit stage," which feels a little bit like shade.
So yeah, lap it up, New York Times. We've got spirit, and we're gonna show it to the laps of the best athletes in all of the Americas.

A few weeks ago, Corey bought a Groupon for $40 to Funky Monkey Wine Company in Downtown Orlando. Don't let the name deceive you- it's a fancy shmancy place!
We attempted to use our Groupon last week, but the restaurant wasn't taking it until the following day, which was quite a wallet stinger for us. However, we were determined to get our money's worth, so we made reservations for Friday night.
Before dinner, we decided to stop by Hot Olives for a happy hour drink and an appetizer.
We ordered the calamari to share, which turned out to be delicious.
The calamari was freshly made and came with a great wasabi dipping sauce that we both enjoyed.
When we arrived at Funky Monkey, we were greeted by our waiter and given a complimentary bowl of edamame.
I wish every restaurant would catch on to this trend- soy beans are much better than a big basket of bread!
Thanks to our last visit, we knew better than to waste our precious Groupon dollars on their very expensive wine list, so we stuck with what we know- beer!
I sipped on a Sierra Nevada while browsing the menu. Thanks to our waiter's recommendation, we decided to start with the Stuffed Avocado appetizer.
My only complaint about this is that I wish there were multiple avocados on the plate! The avocado was filled with Ahi tuna mixed in eel sauce and spicy mayo, served on a bed of sushi rice. We inhaled it!
For our meal, we decided to share the Drunken Sea Scallops.
I love scallops, so this was an easy choice. They were perfectly seared, served with lobster mashed potatoes (yes, LOBSTER mashed potatoes!) and big asparagus spears, all swimming in a rich sauce. Corey may or may not have attempted to drink the sauce off his plate when he was finished.
We enjoyed everything about our date at Funky Monkey Wine Company. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for real gourmet food, that's the place to go!

What is a root canal?
A root canal is actually a structure within your teeth, each tooth having anywhere from one to four root canals. The root canal is basically a space filled with dental pulp, which is made up of blood vessels and nerves.
Healthy dental pulp is essential for the survival of a tooth. If the canal is sealed, and the dental pulp is healthy, the tooth is healthy. However, if the root canal is compromised by decay or disease, the pulp easily becomes inflamed or infected and will require the procedure referred to as a root canal.
Root canal infection resulting from decay or disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss among American adults, so timing treatment is crucial. The pulp must be removed and replaced by a filler material.
In many cases, the doctors at Meadow Creek Family Dentistry will recommend the addition of a dental crown. The crown is necessary to protect the natural tooth that remains from further damage and restore a balanced dental bite.
If you have a severe toothache or an inflamed spot or bump on your gum, you may have a root canal infection. Please call our Inman, SC dental office so we can assess your situation and get you in for treatment as soon as possible.

NSRT (New Standard Radiokoala Tuning) FA#C#G#C#D#
br>Hey y'all
I was tuning my guitar by ear the other month after having torn off single pickup in the middle (which was by far the best thing I ever did) so that it would not get in the way while strumming (now I have two humbuckers and only two toggle states rather than five, and mind three-to-four I never used). In this process I got to the point where it sounded nicely and in harmony on open strings or with one-finger barre and I thought: "there we go".
After having checked with the tuner I discovered I tuned it in C# rather than C and also with some different intervals: basically open A m7add11, E#A#C#G#C#D# (but I prefer to call E# an "F"). Transposed one semitone down, it would be EACGCD – which means -2 / +1 / -2 on 4 / 2 / 1 strings. I actually like fingering much more with this tuning and all around it makes more sense to me, is more melodic and has nicer intervals, and just sounds like harp almost. (For example try this chord at any position: 333353 and arpeggiate up and down).
Here is this guy (the only one in the Universe I've found LOL, to have tuned the guitar to the same intervals) playing really classy in EACGCD and Open B:
(He has a website called AltTunings.com it seems.
The point to make, try tuning your guitar by ear and see what you come up with. May work for you just fine. The one I go for now is such a treat, it seems, I changed the strings yesterday and tuned by ear to all the same semitones again!
Just sounds great to me, and like a benchmark. Another fun story is, I came up with something slightly dissonant yesterday in the middle of the process and thought I had to capture "settings" for that eeriely sinister chordal harmony – and lol, you synth nuts, would be all over this: it was FCCFCC with four 'C'-'s detuned 10 cents apart!! so basically like a 4 oscillator FAT DETUNE lead sound atop the root F bassline.
Very fun!
My friend told me of some interesting Fingerstyle tuning yesterday also, but I didn't bother to re-tune as I was setting up reverbs for classic ethereal Cocteau Twins' like tone which is actually surprisingly easy to achieve with just a multi-FX like my Zoom on a clean tone.
Lemme know your opinions on mine, or share tunings you've come up accidentally and/or use and prefer to the bread-and-butter vanilla trite humdrum that is the standard one. CHEERS all, be well!

You Must Forgive AND Remember Failure
In this excellent blog post Stanford University professor, Robert Sutton, points out that it's not only critical that leaders forgive failure; it's also vital that they remember it as well so that the organization can learn from mistakes.

Help is Not a Dirty Word
As much as some people won't want to hear this, "help" is not a dirty word. Rather asking for help is a sign of maturity as a leader. So my question is this: Are you easy to help?

Why Open Innovation is Not for Small Companies
It is difficult to find good cases on how smaller companies have engaged with open innovation. It is also difficult to give strong advice on how such companies should engage with open innovation.

Innovative Pricing Model Drives App Store Success
In the early days of the Apple App Store, there were free apps and there were paid apps.

There is something seriously wrong with the way we rent meeting space. Does anyone else notice it? Problem No. 1 – We don't care where we meet.

Workers' Compensation in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, and throughout NC
Your business' daily operations are dependent on the hard work, dedication, and expertise of your employees. While risk is an inherent part of any business, should an employee be injured while on the job, you could be held liable for costly expenses.
With a workers' compensation policy from All About Insurance, business owners have the peace of mind that they are properly covered should an accident happen at the workplace. We routinely protect a variety of businesses in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Eden, Cary and the surrounding areas.
Experience, Insight and Feedback
When matching a business with coverage, we believe in taking a consultative approach. In addition to reviewing exposures and coverage gaps, we will also ensure that the business complies with laws and regulations. We then turn to carriers such as Hartford Insurance, AmTrust North America and AIG Insurance to find the best policy and price.
Safety and Security for Your Employees -- and You
From slips and falls to car accidents, injuries can happen at any workplace. In North Carolina, state law mandates that most businesses hold workers compensation insurance to cover medical payments and lost wages. The right policy will protect employers and employees alike in the event of an accident.
Once we have worked together to put a policy in place, we review coverage regularly to account for changes in payroll, number of employees, or business operations.

Diablo Dish: Gear Up for Oakland Restaurant Week
Tozai Izakaya is open in Walnut Creek; head to the grand opening of Redfield Cider Bar and Bottle Shop in Rockridge; eat khao mun gai at Pleasanton's Rooster and Rice; Thirsty Bay Tap and Pour debuts in Dublin; and more Dish.
Oakland Restaurant Week Kicks Off Friday
From this Friday, January 11 through Sunday, January 20, more than 100 Oaktown restaurants will participate in the ninth annual Oakland Restaurant Week.
Those restaurants will offer prix fixe lunches and dinners for anywhere from $10 and $20, all the way up to $70, with some spots offering up to a 25 percent discount off regular menu prices. The full list of participating restaurants can be found on Visit Oakland's site here, where prospective diners can filter their dining options by mealtimes, price, type of food, and region.
There are also a few special events benefitting the Alameda County Community Food Bank at Brotzeit Lokal on Saturday, January 12, and at Bardo Lounge and Supper Club on Monday, January 14.
Piggybacking on the special culinary week, Local Food Adventures will host a special Old Oakland Progressive Dinner on Tuesday, January 15, which combines a historical walking tour of Old Oakland with noshing on appetizers at Tamarindo Antojeria Mexicana, a main course at Benchmark Oakland, and dessert at Cookiebar Creamery.
Tozai Izakaya Now Open in Walnut Creek
The same folks behind Ramen Hiroshi recently opened Tozai Izakaya on Giammona Drive in Walnut Creek (near Skipolini's Pizza).
Since izakaya is derived from the Japanese word sakaya, meaning "sake shop," expect several varieties of smooth Japanese rice wine to accompany what is considered pub food in Japan. The combination of warm sake and hot ramen, among other things, sounds like a great way to fend off the chill of a cold January day, if you ask me.
Lafayette's Yankee Pier Ends Its 10-Year Run
Yankee Pier—part of the Moana Group that also owns Piatti, The Cooperage, Corners Tavern, and others—closed abruptly this week. No explanation was given. The eatery specialized in seafood, and was on an increasingly crowded restaurant row on Mt. Diablo Boulevard.
Rockridge Adds a Cider Bar
Redfield Cider Bar and Bottle Shop will hold its grand opening this weekend (January 12–13) on College Avenue and, not surprisingly, it's all about the cider.
The Rockridge cider bar derives its name from the Redfield apple: a variety that doesn't necessarily tickle the taste buds but works perfectly when brewed as a cider. But you can taste it for yourself, as there will be up to 12 different ciders (along with a selection of beer and wine) to try.
A Wall of Beer Opens in Dublin
Actually, it's called Thirsty Bay Tap and Pour, but the beer-focused spot on Iron Horse Parkway is one of the latest examples of the innovative, self-serve operations that are gaining traction.
It works like this: Thirsty customers buy a wristband, tap the wristband on their tap of choice, get charged by the ounce, and enjoy a taster.
Though there are food options (and even wine on tap), the focus is on the wide selection of craft beers, ranging from a variety of IPAs to sours to ciders, and pretty much everything in between.
Sliver Brings Its Pizza Back to Shattuck
With the opening of Sliver's latest outlet in the Downtown Berkeley Bart Station Plaza, there are once again three dining options for devotees of the high-quality pizza. The other two locations are in Rockridge and on Telegraph, but this one replaces the Center Street Sliver that closed in late 2017.
Khao Mun Gai Comes to Pleasanton
Of course, you knew that khao mun gai is poached chicken (usually served cold) over rice cooked in chicken broth with cilantro and cucumber. But we're betting you didn't know you can now order up a plate in Pleasanton.
Rooster and Rice just opened up its fourth location on Santa Rita Road, and along with the classic Thai street food dish, the spot also offers a veggie version and paleo option.
The Slanted Door in San Ramon Is Finally Open
After much anticipation the latest dining destination, The Slanted Door, is now open in City Center Bishop Ranch. The restaurant, led by chef-owner Charles Phan, is an iteration of the San Francisco Ferry Building location.
Dinners can expect classic mainstays, such as the Slanted Door spring rolls and shaking beef. But Phan has incorporated a smoker into the restaurant's design and developed new dishes exclusively for the San Ramon eatery. Try the banh nam (a rice dumpling steamed in a banana leaf and topped with crispy pork, dried shrimp, and garlic) and the barbecue pork spare ribs (mesquite-smoked pork ribs bathed in a piquant honey-hoisin sauce).
Cleophus Quealy Partners with Operation Dignity
The San Leandro brewery hosts Saturday Socials every second Saturday of the month to give back to the East Bay community. This month's beneficiary is Operation Dignity, which fights homelessness in Alameda County by providing shelter, housing, and supportive services.
The event runs from noon to 6 p.m., and for $20, visitors receive a Cleophus Quealy mason jar and two beer tokens—plus a donation to Operation Dignity. Additional tokens are $5.
Walnut Creek's Telefèric Barcelona Makes Paella Eating Easy
The Mt. Diablo Boulevard Catalan restaurant is giving diners a taste of the iconic seafood and rice specialty for a bargain price Monday through Thursday during January. Those who download a voucher from the website can indulge in paella and a glass of sangria for just $25.
Got Dish? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Or follow me on Twitter @DiabloDish.

Alcoa will kick off this quarter's earnings season when it announces its Q1 results after the market closes on Monday, April 8. Alcoa's results are closely eyed as it usually is the first Dow company to post earnings. We expect the company to record soft earnings, but most investors will watch for any cues on its outlook. Aluminum prices and demand remain sluggish. Also, aluminum inventory continues to remain high relative to demand, keeping a lid on London Metal Exchange prices for aluminum.
Aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange, which are used as a benchmark by the company to determine its own prices, have been dropping sharply since the latter part of February. Prices have dropped from $2100/tonne to below $1850/tonne and are still trending lower.
See Full Analysis for Alcoa Here
Importance Of Aluminum Prices For Alcoa
Alcoa is organized into four business segments: Alumina, which mines bauxite and processes it into the precursor to aluminum; Primary Metals, which smelts aluminum; Flat-rolled Products, which makes sheets used in beverage cans as well as airplane wings and car parts; and Engineered Products and Solutions, which makes aerospace fasteners, turbine blades and truck wheels. While the Flat-rolled and Engineered Products and Solutions divisions produce value-added products and thus generate higher margins, a significant proportion of Alcoa's earnings still come from the Alumina and Primary Metals divisions. This makes its earnings highly sensitive to aluminum prices.
The Aluminum Price Trend In Q1
In its 2012 annual earnings conference call, Alcoa's management said that the prices of aluminum on the London Metal Exchange are being heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors and sentiment rather than supply-demand fundamentals.
Indeed, the continuing European debt crisis and slowing Chinese growth contributed to the decline in aluminum demand and prices over the last few quarters. The correlation claimed above, however, seems to be breaking down in the first quarter of this year at first look if one compares the recent aluminum price trend with the latest macroeconomic data.
While European economies haven't shown improvement, they haven't deteriorated further either. Also, the macroeconomic data for U.S. seems to be positive for the most part. Passenger automobile sales are surging, indicating renewed consumer confidence. The housing market is on an uptick. This translates into higher sales of pickup trucks which are used extensively by construction companies. A lot of them are updating their old fleets.
To understand this disparity, one must keep in mind that these indicators show a time lag. Aluminum would have been bought by automotive firms long back in order to produce and sell these vehicles now. Any pricing change would have been witnessed at the time of buying.
One factor that might explain falling prices is the persistently high aluminum inventory relative to demand, which may be keeping a lid on London Metal Exchange prices for aluminum. While LME prices are not the actual realized prices for Alcoa, they do indicate a broader trend in global aluminum prices. Also, despite inventories being at a record high, market forces have failed to rationalize supply through shutdown of smelting capacity. This is primarily due to state intervention in the form of provision of subsidies or renegotiated power contracts to smelters. This is more prevalent in China but also elsewhere.
What We Would Like To Know In The Earnings Call
In its 2012 annual earnings call, Alcoa's management had made 2013 growth projections of 9-10% for the aerospace segment, 4% for the U.S. automotive segment and 12-19% in the Chinese automotive segment. Also, the company had predicted a 7% growth rate for aluminum demand in 2013.
We would like to see if results in Q1 are in tandem with expectations so far. We are skeptical that the performance of the Chinese automotive market and the overall demand growth in the first quarter are in line with projections.
We would also be keen to listen to the management's comments on the aluminum pricing trend in the first quarter. It had sounded optimistic in the earnings call but market prices tell a different story.
We have a Trefis price estimate for Alcoa of $8.
