Amazon.com's ambitious plans to erect three massive 37-story office towers in the Denny Triangle area of downtown Seattle isn't about building a corporate campus, it's about building a neighborhood. At least that's the view of NBBJ's John Savo, the architect for Amazon.com.
In front of standing room only crowd Tuesday night at City Hall, Savo addressed members of Seattle's Design Review Board about a project that has the possibility to transform the city by connecting the South Lake Union neighborhood to the downtown retail core around Westlake Park.
Throughout his remarks, Savo stressed the importance of making the space accessible to the public, highlighting the importance of pocket parks, artwork, retail storefronts and green spaces that "emphasize the pedestrian." In that regard, Savo described the overall project as an "urban room."
"It is very important if we are going to treat this truly as open space that people feel invited into the spaces," Savo said. If all goes as planned, the entire project could take up to eight years to build in three phases.
Savo and NBBJ's Dale Alberda described four different plans during the course of the meeting, spending most of the time explaining the benefits of the "hybrid" or "preferred" scheme which includes a large amount of public space wrapped around the buildings and "sun pockets" where individuals can gather when the gray skies disappear.
The plan also calls for redesigned transit stop on Westlake Avenue and a 2,000-person auditorium, more in the style of a hotel ballroom than a concert venue. (Savo said it has not yet been determined whether that facility would be open to the public).
In addition, Alberda said Amazon.com is excited about "incubator buildings" — smaller buildings that are 75-feet wide and six or seven stories tall — that would connect the towers via skybridges. The whole idea behind the building layout would be to maintain the flow of the downtown grid, but make at "least one gesture to South Lake Union," Alberda said.
South Lake Union is the location of Amazon's new headquarters, a spread of new office buildings that it is already outgrowing. The company now employs more than 56,000 people, adding 4,900 workers during the fourth quarter of last year.
Here's Alberda describing the "hybrid" plan at Tuesday night's meeting:
As anticipated, the meeting did come with a few fireworks. Members of the pro-labor group Working Washington posed questions and offered statements that were phrased in a way to draw attention to Amazon.com's alleged mistreatment of workers and its controversial stance on taxes.
No representatives from Amazon.com spoke publicly at the meeting. But Savo stressed the company's desire to be a good neighbor, noting that the project is designed to be "porous" so that pedestrians can easily pass through it.
"As we have been reminded again and again by our client, we are building a neighborhood, not a campus," said Savo. "And so that is part of what we are trying to do, so it is inviting to the employees to get out of the buildings. (Amazon) would actually like to see that happen. I mean how many high-tech companies do you know that want to be in a downtown? I don't know any that have anything near this scale. We are doing a number of campuses out in the suburbs and on greenfield sites and old abandoned sites in other places, that you have a lot of freedom about what you do. But people are not engaging in the city life. I think this is a very smart move to be downtown, with the recruiting and the retention, because they want the people to get out of the building. They want people to walk their dog, eat outside, to invite their family in to come meet them here."
Jevon Barlas might be one of those folks to use the new urban space. A nearby resident who described the project as in his "front yard," Barlas was largely supportive of the "hybrid" plan.
He suggested Amazon design buildings that varied in height so it didn't look like a box from a distance, whether from a ferry in Elliott Bay or from a car along I-5. And he suggested buildings with some color that were a bit different, noting that most of the buildings going up in the neighborhood are black and gray.
"Something that is a little bit brighter would be welcome in this neighborhood … and would go well with what seems like a lot of park space and the vibrancy they are trying to add to this area," he said.
Here are some documents previously filed with the city about the project.

So, if I implement the esri GeoServices REST API with a non-esri service, what clients can I use with it?
We (GeoREST) were initially thinking that ArcGIS Explorer or other desktop clients would be able to access it, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Looking at the web stream with Fiddler, these appear to fall back to a SOAP interface when passed the REST end point.
The web APIs looked promising, but the terms under which you're allowed to use them appear to be pretty restrictive:
I thought these permitted use for public, non-commercial purposes, but wording in the second link made me doubt that interpretation.
I may be missing something, but a lack of freely usable clients seems to limit the value for a third party to implement this API.
Does anyone have any further insight into the licencing restrictions on the web APIs, or know of other services that grok the REST API?

Snapshot: Full data backups
This article is part of the Storage issue of Vol. 4 No. 7 September 2005
Nothing's black and white when it comes to backup. While the majority of Storage readers have a traditional weekly full/daily incremental backup policy (57%), that leaves 43% who use all manner of approaches to backup--daily fulls, incrementals forever, synthetic fulls that they reconcile weekly, etc. Tape as primary backup medium is still the norm (77%), but disk is coming on fast. The number of copies of backup tapes readers make, meanwhile, is surprisingly low. Only 32% of respondents make two or more copies; the remainder rely on one copy (53%) or none (15%)!

Use mainframes for backups
You can put that big iron sitting in your data center to better use by using it to back up open-systems data, too. The net effect is a streamlined backup and disaster recovery operation.
Any-point-in-time backups
Continuous data protection captures changes at a file- or block-level as they happen, and provides running recovery journals for all historical data states. This shifts data protection to a more flexible any-point-in-time framework.
Make tape libraries work with all platforms
If tape libraries could share IT resources and data across all processing platforms, data center complexity and cost could be dramatically reduced.
Sizing up VTLs
Virtual tape libraries present disk as tape, so backup apps can perform backups as usual, regardless of the physical backup infrastructure. Learn about hardware and software VTLs, the benefits of each and how they might fit into your backup operation.
Does host-based replication still make sense?
Host-based replication is a mature technology, but it's often not considered an option for architectures that support quick recovery. But there are many cases where a host-based option may fit.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 21 December 2012
Commission authorises Spain to extend existing temporary restrictions on Romanian workers.
The European Commission has approved a request from the Spanish authorities made on 13 December 2012 to extend the temporary restriction on access for Romanian workers to the Spanish labour market until 31 December 2013 due to serious disturbances on its labour market. These restrictions cannot be continued after the end of 2013 as temporary restrictions on the free movement of Romanian and Bulgarian workers must be lifted in all Member States as from 1 January 2014.
The Commission's decision is based on a specific safeguard clause in the 2005 Treaty on the accession of Bulgaria and Romania. This clause allows Member States that have lifted restrictions on workers from Bulgaria and Romania to subsequently re-impose restrictions if there are serious disturbances on their labour market, subject to the Commission's agreement.
Spain opened its labour market to Romanian and Bulgarian workers in 2009, but in August 2011 the Commission authorised Spain to temporarily restrict the free movement of Romanian workers until 31 December 2012 (see IP/11/960 and MEMO/11/554).
"Since the restrictions on labour market access by Romanian workers were re-introduced in mid-2011, the economic and labour market situation in Spain has further worsened. I strongly believe that free movement of workers should be promoted and that restrictions on it are not the answer to high unemployment. However, Spain's labour market has been very badly hit by the crisis and the Commission has therefore agreed to this temporary measure," said László Andor, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. "We will continue to monitor closely the Spanish labour market, and will consider modifying or revoking the Decision at any time if developments on the Spanish labour market allow for it. At the same time Romania also needs to take appropriate steps to boost job creation. In order to improve the employment situation, I encourage both countries to implement the actions foreseen in the Employment and Youth packages presented by the Commission this year."
Spain has a record level of both unemployment at 26.2%, compared to 22.7% one year before, and youth unemployment at 55.9% (figures from October 2012). Figures for the EU average are respectively 10.7% and 23.4%. As all regions of Spain are affected by high levels of unemployment, the labour market disturbance is not limited to a particular region.
The number of Romanian nationals residing in Spain is currently 913,000 (September 2012) which represents 17% of the foreign population in Spain, and is a year-on-year increase of 12,000. According to the EU Labour Force survey, Romanian nationals living in Spain are strongly affected by unemployment, with 36.4% of the (economically active) Romanians in Spain unemployed – compared to 23.3% of Spanish nationals. The employment rate among working-age (15-64) Romanian citizens is only 50.8%.
The Commission will monitor the situation through updates provided by Spain every three months on the labour market situation. The Commission reserves the right to repeal its decision to allow a restriction to the access of the labour market at any time based on developments on the Spanish labour market.
The Commission will now notify its decision to the EU's Council of Ministers. Any Member State may request the Council to amend or annul the Commission's decision within two working weeks.
Free movement of workers is one of the fundamental freedoms of the EU Treaty. It gives EU citizens the right to freely move to another Member State to work (without needing a work permit) and to reside there for that purpose.
However, the 2005 Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the EU provides that for a transitional period of a maximum of seven years Member States have the option of imposing partial or total restrictions on access to their labour markets for workers from Bulgaria and Romania. The overall transitional period is divided into three distinct phases ("2-plus-3-plus-2"). Different conditions apply during each phase. The currentfinal third phase started on 1 January 2011 and will irrevocably end on 31 December 2013.
Any restriction of the free movement of workers constitutes a derogation from a fundamental freedom of EU law that must be allowed explicitly by EU law itself. Although the transitional arrangements in the Accession Treaty allow for such derogations, they are limited in time.
The restrictions on access for Romanian workers to the Spanish labour market until 31 December 2013 applies to all sectors and regions but do not affect Romanian nationals who were already active on the Spanish labour market on 22 July 2011.
Workers from Romania currently enjoy full rights to free movement in 16 Member States (Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden). No restrictions apply between Romania and Bulgaria.
Of the remaining 9 Member States (Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Austria and United Kingdom), several have eased conditions or simplified procedures to access the labour market in comparison to the conditions and procedures that applied to them prior to EU accession.
In general, free movement of workers has had a positive economic impact at the EU level and has produced economic growth in host countries, as shown by the Commission's November 2011 report – Employment and Social Developments in Europe 2011 (p.274). This report highlights estimates that the impact of population flows from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania between 2004 and 2009 on the level of potential output of the EU-15 Member States was up to 0.9%.

Mid-Ohio Testing Notice
- 20 June 2016
To all Mid Ohio Competitors:
FRP is not holding a twilight test this year, as can be seen from both the website and DLB. There is a MId-Ohio Track run open test and tune on Thursday night prior to our event that is NOT open to Series drivers. We will, however, grant waivers to drivers with a legitimate reason needing track time, at the discretion of the Series. Valid reasons include: non-series regulars who have never seen the track, using different equipment, validating damage repair from WGI. Please contact either Chip Robinson or Bob Wright for clearance.
Recognize that this test and tune will most likely not be single run groups and could easily have FA and FV as well as others on the track at the same time. The Series is not involved and you must contact Mid-Ohio directly to enter, after seeking and receiving an FRP waiver. Load-in in the lower paddock is still listed as 5:30pm subject to change by Mid Ohio.

Q: My pond is 18 inches deep. Can I overwinter my fish in my water garden?
Jessica – Hope Valley, RI
A: Great news! Unless you live in an extremely frigid climate, your pond is at the minimum depth required for overwintering fish in a pond. Though 24 inches or deeper is better, 18 inches should give your finned friends enough room to ride out the cold temperatures—as long as you keep a hole open in the ice.
Freezing winter temperatures will create a solid layer of ice on your pond's surface. Below the ice sheet, decaying vegetation and organic matter release harmful gases, like ammonia, which can build up and kill your fish. A hole in the ice will allow for gas exchange. The oxygen will enter the pond, the gases will escape, and your fish will stay happy and healthy while they're hibernating.
To keep that hole open, here's what you'll need based on your zone:
- Occasional Below-Freezing Temps: For temperature zones that get the occasional below-freezing day or low nighttime temperatures, use an adjustable air stone aerator, like the Airmax® PondAir™ (up to 2,000 gallons) or Airmax® KoiAir™ (up to 16,000 gallons). One of these units will infuse your pond with oxygen while remaining quiet and cost-effective.
- Long Stretches of Freezing Temps: For temperature zones that see long stretches of freezing temperatures, we recommend these options, below, based on how many gallons your pond holds. The aerator-deicer combo will give your smaller water garden the one-two punch it needs to vent harmful gases and keep your fish safe, while the more powerful KoiAir will sufficiently aerate larger ponds:
- Up to 1,000 gallons: PondAir™2 and Thermo-Pond Combo
- Up to 2,000 gallons: PondAir™4 and Thermo-Pond Combo
- 2,000 to 8,000 gallons: KoiAir™1 Aeration System
- 8,000 to 16,000 gallons: KoiAir™2 Aeration System
Is your pond not quite 18 inches deep? Be sure to check back next week for an article on bringing your pond fish inside for the winter!

AMERICUS - Freshman Zada Hyatt scored a pair of goals and junior Ally Canganelli added another as the Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team rolled to a 3-0 victory over LaGrange College on Sunday afternoon at Hurricane Field.
GSW wasted no time jumping ahead of the Panthers. The opening score came in the 7th minute when Canganelli intercepted a pass, drove into the box and blasted a shot left past LaGrange goalkeeper Kristin Bird. The goal, 419 seconds into the contest, was the second-fastest score in school history. Teammate Brittney Hill scored 344 seconds into a match against Columbia (S.C.) College on Oct. 12, 2009.
After the quick score on Sunday, it was the tandem of Hyatt and Carolann Simpson the rest of the way. Simpson picked up an assist on both Hyatt goals, the first coming in the 25th minute when she led Hyatt to a left-foot shot near post for her third score of the season.
Staying in check with quick starts, the third - and final - score of the match came 31 seconds into the start of the second half when Simpson drove to the right side of the box and found Hyatt in the middle who knocked another left-footed shot, this time to the far post. Now at four goals for the year, Hyatt has already matched last year's team high for the season.
Starting GSW goalkeeper Amber Bahri and freshman Jordyn Birchett played 45 minutes apiece and teamed for the Lady 'Canes first shutout of the season. Southwestern outshot the Panthers 16-3 and the defense held LaGrange (1-4) without a shot attempt in the second half.
The Lady Hurricanes (2-4) look to make it two in a row on Wednesday when Brewton-Parker comes to town for a 5 p.m. contest.

Marbleized colored Easter eggs: Add oil
Want some fun with your colored Easter eggs with what you have in your kitchen cabinet? All you need is food coloring, vinegar, vegetable oil and hot water. (I bought the kit because I was enticed by the marbleizing and turns out it's just adding oil.)
You probably know the basic recipe: Mix a teaspoon or more of vinegar with hot water and drops of food coloring in a mug. Now the marbleizing. The directions I read said 3 tablespoons of oil, but you don't need that much — a teaspoon will do. Add the oil to the cup and stir. Drop in the egg and move it around for 10-30 seconds depending on the color. Let dry. Important to let dry. Then repeat after the egg is dried, until you are satisfied.
I colored some solid first, then I let them dry. Then I started marbleizing. It's fun and it won't cost you a coloring kit.
OH, I didn't want to toss the oily water down my kitchen drain, so I just tossed it on some weeds.

Defining the Line
"The Doping Dilemma," by Michael Shermer, suggests that the possible penalties of using artificial enhancements in sports should be made greater than the possible rewards. But it is impossible to determine what is and is not an unacceptable artificial enhancement. With advances in medicine, biology and even prosthetics, the broad gray line will only get wider and murkier. We have reached the stage in our "progress" where meaningful contests between individuals are no longer possible.
Ted Park
Calimesa, Calif.
SHERMER REPLIES: Park has identified the hard problem in sports administration: where to draw the line to create unambiguous decisions about what is allowed in a world of ambiguous grays. The answer is not easy, but we have to draw that line somewhere. I was race director of Race Across America and executive director of the UltraMarathon Cycling Association for a seven-year period, and these gray-area issues came up constantly. I discovered that the most satisfying solution for everyone was open communication between athletes and management to create an agreed-on set of rules that would be clearly defined and strictly enforced.
Environmental Economics?
Robert Nadeau argues in "The Economist Has No Clothes" [Forum] that, by using a discarded theory of physics, a founding school of economics caused all economists to ignore the environmental impact of their subsequent theories. Using physics in economics is reminiscent of trying to apply classical physics in subatomic mechanics. But when I have taught economics with texts from at least 15 years ago, they have imparted such ideas as the scarcity of resources; market failures resulting in spillover costs; taxation as a reallocation technique; the environmental effects of unconstrained pursuit of high GDP; inelastic supply of some resources; and the use of cost-benefit analysis in approaching such problems. I conclude that the writers of these texts escaped some time ago any limited visions of their forebears.
Harry R. Clements
Wichita, Kan.
NADEAU REPLIES: Unscientific axiomatic assumptions became foundational to mainstream economic thought after the 19th-century creators of neoclassical economics substituted economic variables in the equations of a theory in physics. Because there was no basis for assuming that the economic variables were similar to the physical ones, this action is not comparable to failed efforts by classical physicists to explain subatomic mechanics. It was a wholesale abuse of a scientific theory by nonscientists.
I must disagree that mainstream economists have escaped the effects of this abuse. Some theoretical work—such as game theory, nonlinear analyses and convex analysis—has challenged axiomatic assumptions in neoclassical economics. But all these theories are premised on the unscientific assumptions that market systems are closed and self-correcting and move toward optimal states of equilibrium. This problem is not an esoteric one without real-world consequences. Such unscientific assumptions are undermining efforts to implement scientifically viable economic policies and programs that could prevent global warming's most disastrous impacts. And if we fail to realize this very soon, recent scientific research strongly suggests that our future will be rather bleak.
Sun and Shadow
In "The Color of Plants on Other Worlds," Nancy Y. Kiang describes how plants on a world orbiting a mature type M star might appear black from adaptation of their photosynthetic pigments to that light spectrum. But such a world's habitable zone would be so close to the star that it would have a strong chance of being tidally locked, so that one hemisphere would continually face the star. Surface plants would probably develop photosynthetic pigments only on their lighted side. Their shadowed side would tend to be gray or brown and considerably lighter. Discovery of another world's plant pigments may therefore depend on the angle between the sight line of a space telescope and the line between the world and the star it orbits.
James W. Scott
Wyckoff, N.J.
KIANG REPLIES: Scott raises some excellent, fun points. Even on Earth there is latitudinal adaptation—not so much in pigments to spectral variation in radiation as in a plant's shape to the sun's height in the sky. The conical shape of coniferous trees at high latitudes, for instance, is better at intercepting light at low solar elevation angles. So, on a tidally locked planet orbiting a type M star, we might see a longitudinal gradient in plant pigments as well as adaptations to fairly fixed elevation angles of the parent star. The first telescopic missions to obtain planetary spectra will not be able to resolve such gradients, but scientists could make use of variations observed from a planet's different faces to tease out more information about its surface.
Coming through the Border
Thomas B. Cochran and Matthew G. McKinzie's description of the exercise where depleted uranium slugs were passed through U.S. ports in "Detecting Nuclear Smuggling" has confirmed what many have long known: radiation portal monitors provide little actual security. The situation is perhaps even worse than portrayed. Not only are the monitors not effective against uranium, but they also do not work against weapons-grade plutonium if one understands the basic physics required to shield it. And those physics are well known around the world.

The mister and I went on a date last night. (ooo-la-la!) We didn't do anything fancy- just dinner out. But how lovely it is to eat a meal where someone brings it too you, you get to eat it while it's hot, and no little people end up screaming, spilling or puking at the table! It was a great time to just talk and reconnect. While we were out, my sister-in-law took the children and the great-grandpa out to look at Christmas lights.

I am Emissions Neutral 2007, Are You?
Accepted File Formats:
Major graphics packages adobe macromedia
Company Concept
Well we know that the Planet is choking on our fossil fuel emissions from Trucks, Cars, Planes and Power Stations. Global Warming has now been accepted by the vast majority of accredited climate scientists and is universally recognised as the greatest challenge that mankind has yet faced. Not easy to reduce these emissions when new and powerful economies are demanding ever greater quantities of oil and power to meet their own domestic needs.
How can we as individuals make a positive and necessary contribution to reducing our own emissions?
Do we all stop using our vehicles and refrain from air travel?
Do we turn off all lights and TVs and washing machines?
Well, probably not. We have to live, we have to travel, we have to drive and we have to exist.
I want to drive the vehicle I choose, the vehicle that is right for me and my family, the vehicle that is right for my life. Having said all that, I am a responsible world citizen, I need to leave my kids with a planet that they can inhabit, enjoy and progress.
Emissions-neutral.co.uk allows drivers of all vehicles, but especially those that have poor fuel economy or high emissions to annually offset these emissions by the planting and preservation of native tree plantations, which has the effect of cancelling out or neutralising their own vehicle emissions.
Company Logo
This logo will be used for on the Website, Business Cards and Letterheads. Obviously it needs to be a positive logo, smiling sun, kids running through the meadows, blue sky, crystal clear ocean, clean environment etc.
Car Sticker
Once a client has signed up for the service, they will receive confirmation that trees have been planted to the value of their own fossil fuel emissions. Added to this, they will also receive a car sticker which will attach to the inside of their windscreen which is a clear statement that they have made a positive contribution to the reduction of global warming.
I would like to see a 4X4 car and the same sort of summer meadows, clean environment, and happy kids sort of view as with the company logo. I also want to see the narrative I am Emissions Neutral 2007, Are You? and the website address.
I would like to welcome entries only for both requirements as I want to ensure a uniform look and feel.

Roy was widely known as one of the best cowboys in the Four Corners states. He was born in 1879 and died here in 1955. His grave is at the Peoples Cemetery near Dolores. He would stay with us at our ranch in Thompson Park in the summer and in Kingman, Arizona, with Leonard Neal in the winter after he no longer was "working for the brand." Roy would often tell my dad and me stories of the early days in Southwest Colorado. One of my favorites was his encounter with desperadoes when he was 10 years old.
Roy and his cousins, the Millard boys, were helping Mr. Millard brand cattle. After the branding was finished and cattle turned out, the boys were playing around the corrals. These corrals were near Stoner and close to the place where the railroad had a water tower.
A man on horseback rode up and started a conversation with the boys.
The boys thought it peculiar that the man was bareheaded, as cowboys always wore hats in those days.
He asked them several questions about the train, such as when the train would be stopping for water. They told him that the train was expected at noon that day. The man continued to sit on his horse and small talk with the boys. He looked up at the sun and asked the boys what time that they thought it was. They replied that is was around noon. The man said, "You boys had better get the hell out of here because there is going to be some bad things happen pretty soon." That, of course, only piqued their curiosity. The boys hid in some willows that were close to the water tower.
Several other men rode up horseback to wait for the train's arrival. As soon as the train stopped, the outlaws made everyone on the train get off. The passengers and crew were held at gunpoint.
The outlaws took out several gunnysacks and had every man on the train put his hat into the sacks.
The robbers also helped themselves to other valuables from the passengers and the cargo. After getting their loot, the outlaws rode by the willows where the boys had hidden. As they rode by, the bareheaded waved in their direction and said, "So long, boys."
My great-uncle Carroll Pyle was on the train that day, as was Walter Wallace. It seems that Walter had had terrible luck on his trip to Denver. He had a hat stolen on the trip up. He bought a new one in Denver, which was stolen at his hotel. He acquired yet another hat before returning to Dolores and lost that one to the outlaws. Walter was so upset when he got to Dolores that day he said that, "The next person who tries to take my hat is going to have to kill me first because I won't be giving up another one."
The outlaws who robbed the train that day were later identified as Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. Seems that they had robbed the Bank in Telluride the day before. While making their getaway, Butch Cassidy was riding a half-broke horse. As they were leaving Telluride, the horse started to buck and was hard to ride, causing Butch to lose his hat and almost his seat. He was in too big of a hurry to retrieve his hat. Butch Cassidy was the bareheaded man who met with Roy and his cousins at the water tower near Stoner that day.
About the Pyles
The Pyle families were very early settlers of the "Big Bend on the Dolores River." The families moved to the new Town of Dolores when the railroad came into the area. Prior to that time, the railroad ran from Ridgway to Durango, Colorado (per research).

Alter, Hobie - 2011 Hall of Fame
Hobart "Hobie" Alter
"I didn't know anything about sailing so I wasn't confused by any past ideas. And the fact (catamarans) had speed...if you were a surfer, you wanted a little more thrilling thing."
October 31, 1933 - March 29, 2014
Birthplace: Ontario, California
The beaches of Southern California have always been a breeding ground for new water toys, and for entrepreneurs in Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops who knew how to make their visions into reality. The undisputed king of that enviable, sun-drenched subculture is Hobie Alter, who started shaping wooden surfboards in his father's garage in Laguna Beach in 1950. A few years later he was producing lighter, foam-core fiberglass boards that became the standard. He opened his first surf board shop in 1958, establishing Hobie as a brand that is still a household word for surfers, and sailors.
Alter and his contemporaries were driven by the quest for new ways to have fun in the sun, ways that would keep them out of suits and office jobs. When Alter decided to design and build a catamaran in the late 1960s, his mission was accomplished. The first drawing was done in the sand. The Hobie 14 was easy to drag down the beach and through the surf, and fun to sail. The term "beach cat" was born. At $1000, the boat was an instant hit. The 14 was followed by the 16, then the 18. With its double trapeze and outboard racks or wings, the 18 is an active racing class. Today, there are 14 different Hobie Cat models sailing, more than 100,000 boats in all.
For Hobie Alter, sailing ranked with surfing, skiing, and motorcycle riding as a past time. Just to prove he wasn't just a beach cat, in 1980 Alter spearheaded the design of the Hobie 33, a trailerable mono hull with a scant 8-foot beam (to make it road legal). It turned out to be a rocket. Between 1982 and 1986, 187 of the 33s were built.
Alter skied, and sailed the 60-foot catamaran he built, into his 70s.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of secreted or membrane-associated proteins capable of digesting extracellular matrix components. The importance of MMPs in tumor development and invasion as well as other diseases is well known. The SensoLyte® 520 Generic MMP Assay Kit is optimized to detect the activity of a variety of MMPs, including MMP-1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, and 14. Compared to the SensoLyte® 520 kits designed for individual MMP, the Generic MMP Assay kit is 5 to 20 fold more sensitive, although less specific. This kit is ideal for detecting generic MMP activity in biological samples or for high throughput screening of MMPs inducers and inhibitors using purified MMPs. This kit uses a 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL520 (quencher) labeled FRET peptide substrates for continuous measurement of the enzyme activities. In an intact FRET peptide, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by SensoLyte®. Upon the cleavage of the FRET peptide by MMPs, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is recovered, and can be continuously monitored at excitation/emission = 490 nm/520 nm. With superior fluorescence quantum yield and longer emission wavelength, 5-FAM/QXL520 based FRET peptide is less interfered by the autofluorescence of test compounds and cellular components and provides better assay sensitivity. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microplate format.
Kit size:100 assays

Angie & Jesse at PVH
Posted: May 13th, 2009 @ 5:14pm

At Pine Valley Hospital
We seeing Angie and Jesse talking. Angie tells him no matter where she goes in the hospital, she keeps thinking about how excited Frankie was about surgery program. She breaks down, thinking of his hands now and wants to be there with him now. Jesse calms her down and he's knows how rough it is, and he wants to be there too, but it's Randi's job to be wtih him and having Brot is a good thing as well. Kendall arrives and Angie asks her if everything is okay and she says the machine seems to be working fine. Jesse asks where Zach is and Kendall tells him she doesn't know - she's scared as to where he may be.
Angie: You know, every -- everywhere that I go in this hospital, I just find myself thinking about how excited Frankie was about the surgical program, and now his hands -- Jesse, I can't -- I can't stand it. I have to go to him.
Jesse: No, no, baby. Not yet. I know this is rough. You want to be with him. I do too, but come on, Randi's his wife now, and Brot is a friend that's been through even worse than what he's going through. I totally believe that these are the two right people to be with the man now.
Angie: Hey. Kendall: Hey. Angie: Is everything all right? Kendall: Yeah. Yeah, the machine seems to be working just fine.
Jesse: Where's zach? He's still here, isn't he?
Kendall: I don't know. I have no idea. I came in there, and the nurse said that he suddenly just left. I'm scared.
End scene. (All My Children - Hubbard Recap)
Back at PVH Angie tells Kendall she's sorry that the valve didn't work. Kendall tells the that Zach is furious about the situation. Jesse is on the phone trying to get info on Zach's location. He verified that Zach left the hospital and given the situation, he knows Zach is headed to see Adam.
Kendall: I know that look in Zach's eyes, and it scares the hell out of me.
Angie: I'm so sorry the valve didn't work.
Kendall: Well, Zach is furious that Ian isn't strong enough -- that he has to be on the machine until he can have another surgery.
Jesse: Are you absolutely sure?
Kendall: I honestly -- I think the waiting was driving him crazy.
Jesse: Can you double check? All right, well, he's nowhere in the hospital. Security checked the cafeteria. They checked the grounds, checked the surrounding area. Are you sure you called every number he has?
Kendall: Yeah. Yeah, I called home. I called the casino. I called his cell. He's not answering me on purpose. He would want to know any news about Ian.
Jesse: Well, there's no question where he went, is there?
End Scene.
Back at PVH, Angie is on the phone talking to Randi. The connection is really bad, but Angie keeps on trying to tell Randi that she needs to get a message to Frankie and is sure he would want to talk to her. They get disconnected. Krystal arrives and Angie's concern immediately shifts to her.
Angie: Randi? Randi, are you still there? Hello? Yes, listen. I was just saying that if you can try and just get a phone to Frankie, let me talk to him, i know he would -- hello? Randi?
Krystal: Angie.
Angie: You look terrible. What happened?
Krystal: I was just sitting in my car, and I felt like I was having a heart attack, so i just drove straight over here.
Angie: It's David again, isn't it?
Krystal: No. No, this time it's all my doing.
At Chandler Mansion, Kendall, Jesse and a cop arrive. They enter and hear Zach yelling at Adam in the foyer, Erica is also present. Kendall tries the door and it's locked. Inside we see Zach with a red marker and he's got Adam's face in one hand and marks a red X on his forhead. Zach tells him that's he's going to shoot him right there if anything else happens with Ian. Jesse and the rest break into the room as the scene ends, you hear Jesse yelling to Zach to drop it.
Zach: Your whole miserable life, you've been getting away with it! Your whole life! It ends now.
Erica: No, Zach. What are you doing, Zach?
Zach: That's where I'm going to shoot you if anything else happens to my son.
Erica: Zach --
Jesse: Zach -- Zach, drop it!
End scene. (All My Children - Hubbard Recap)
Back at Chandler Mansion, Jesse gets Zach to drop the pen (LOL) and hustles him out of the room as Adam yells for his arrest. Jesse tells him he's not arresting Zach, and that Adam owes him. Adam calls Jesse pathetic and threatens his badge. Jesse tells him to back off and that he'll do his best to keep Zach away from him, JR and Scott, but he kinda knows what Zach is feeling right now and he's not pressing charges and neither is Erica (LOL). He releases Zach and makes him promise he won't do any more damage. Zach tells him if his son dies, it will destroy his life as he storms out of the mansion. Jesse has a pained look on his face from Zach's remark and you know he's thinking abou Frankie.
Jesse: Drop it now, Zach!
Zach: You mean this?
Jesse: Are you out of your mind?
Adam: All right, lock the bastard up. Assault and battery -- right here. Erica saw it -- she saw it all. She heard the threat, that he was going to put a bullet right here in the middle of my forehead. Tell him!
[Laughs]All right, Lavery back here, he was a witness to some of Zach's earlier threats.
Jesse: Take him out to the -- to the foyer.
Adam: Lock him up.
Jesse: I don't think so.
Adam: You don't think so? That man broke into my house and threatened my life, and you're going to do nothing about it? I'll have your badge, Jesse.
Jesse: You're not going to have anything, Adam Chandler. You know, I put my butt on the line for you when you kidnapped your grandson. Then I helped you get him back. You owe me. Adam: You helped me get off the hook when I kidnapped my own grandson. That's -- listen to yourself. That's pathetic.
Jesse: That man out there, he's got a little boy who needs him right now, because somebody was very careless about what went into his little chest. Now, I will keep Zach away from you, your son, and your nephew. But I got to tell you, I kind of know what he's feeling right now, so you're not going to press any charges. Isn't that right, Erica Kane?
Erica: That is absolutely right. I'm going to make sure he doesn't.
Adam: That is not satisfactory.
Erica: Oh, shut up, Adam.
Zach: Go back to the hospital. I'll arrange for bail. If anything happens with Ian, you just let me know, all right? If anything happens to that boy.
Jesse: You'll be there to hear it for yourself. Uncuff him. You've got to promise me, no more breaking and entering. No more assault -- what's that? Come on. Are you trying to destroy your family?
Zach: If my son dies, it's going to destroy my life.
Back at PVH, Krystal tells Angie about Marissa being Babe's twin and the mess she's made of her life. Angie tells her to get hersefl together and go back and get her daughter before it's too late.
Krystal: I would've kept that secret for the rest of my life, but Adam -- anyway, I never planned on Marissa finding out. Then her parents died, and I had to do what I could to help her. I had to try to give her the life that she deserved, just like I tried to give Babe.
Angie: Then why did you walk out on her just now? I mean, leaving her with david when you knew that she was leaving town?
Krystal: She hates me. She practically told me so, and I don't blame her.
Angie: Krystal, first reactions are always harsh. No matter how she feels about you now, that can change, but only if you both work at it. Keep the honesty going. You know what? I know this is an entirely different situation, but i always tried to remain honest with cass. I didn't want it to be no relationship at all, which is what you have resigned yourself to.
Krystal: It's too late. I mean, she's gone.
Angie: It is never too late. Now, all you have to do is just find a way to reach out to her, and then get to know each other. No strings, no pressure. It might help you more than you think, because your heart palpitations are coming from what you're keeping inside, not what you're letting out. And you let this girl get away once. You cannot let it happen a second time
At PVH Kendall tells Zach that if anything happens to Ian, she will kill Adam, he won't have to worry about it. Ryan comes in and tells them that Angie would like to speak with them in the hallway.

I can't tell you how many people in the past few weeks have asked me "did you know that Starbucks sells cake pops now?". Some say cake pops are the new cupcake, and they seem to be everywhere you look. They are taking over food blogs, they are replacing cupcakes at weddings, and now they are being sold at the international coffee chain, Starbucks.
A cake pop is essentially cake, crumbled and mixed with frosting, formed into a ball, popped on a stick, and dipped in a super-sweet candy coating. I made cake pops for the first time for a friend's wedding last spring (about 350 of them to be exact) and since then, virtually everyone I know has become obsessed. Certain friends (who shall remain anonymous) have been known to hoard them in their freezer and ration them out until the next batch of leftovers is delivered. It's madness I tell you.
Will the appearance of cake pops at Starbucks mark the beginning of the inevitable cake pop backlash? The overexposure and obsession with a new food trend can quickly turn it from hip and current to passé and cheesy. With their new home at a coffee chain that many people already love to hate, will 2011 be the year of the death of the cake pop trend? Only time will tell I guess.
Until then, we can still delight in the near-sickeningly sweet treat that is the cake pop. Here are instructions for some bright colorful pops, perfect for a spring celebration or a fun Easter treat.
Lemon Cream Cheese Cake Pops
Makes about 50 pops
Cake Pops:
1 batch lemon-buttermilk cake, baked and cooled
1 batch cream cheese frosting (recipe below)
1-2 packages white vanilla candy melts (if you cannot find candy melts, you can use white chocolate, or almond bark the same way)
candy melt coloring (optional, but you cannot use frosting coloring, or liquid coloring unfortunately, the candy melts will seize from the water content)
sprinkles (optional)
50 4-inch lollipop sticks
Crumble the cakes into a large bowl with your fingers until broken up into pea-sized bits. Mix in about 2/3 of the frosting to start with, using either a large wooden spoon, or your hands if you want to get messy. Mix until the frosting is evenly dispersed. Take a small amount of some of the cake mixture (approximately 2 tablespoons or so) and try rolling it into a ball with the palms of your hands. If it stays together, continue to roll the rest of your cake mixture into balls and place them on a parchment or a wax paper lined baking sheet. If they fall apart or do not hold together, add a little more frosting until the mix is moist enough to allow you to roll an intact ball. You may not need to use all your frosting. I like to use the least amount of frosting possible, as it helps keep the texture of the cake pops more cake-like, and less mushy.
Once you have rolled all the cake mix into balls, place in refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes. When the cake balls have been chilled, melt a small amount of the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. Take one of the sticks, dip about 1/2 inch of the end into the melted candy and stick it about half to three-quarters of the way through the cake ball. Don't go too far into the cake ball, or it will fall apart. The candy melts will help adhere the stick to the cake.
Place the cake pop (we can officially call them pops now since they are now on a stick) back onto the parchment and repeat process with all remaining balls. Place the cake pops in the freezer for 30-60 minutes before coating. This will save you a lot of headache when trying to dip the cake pops into the hot candy melts. If they are mostly nearly frozen, you will have a much easier time getting them to stay on the stick while dipping and tapping the excess coating off, so don't rush this step!
Once the cake pops have been chilled, melt the rest of the package of candy melts according to package directions, and add your candy coloring, if usingdesired. I kept the majority of the cake pops in the freezer and took them out about five5 at a time. This way, the whole pan of cake pops doesn't come up to room temperature while you are dipping the first batch.
One at a time, dip the cake pops into the melted candy coating being making sure to get the coating all the way up over where theon to the stick is attached to really seal it into create a good seal. GENTLY tap off the excess coating on the edge of the bowl while rotating the cake pop, to get a nice even layer all the way around. You will want to do this quickly in order to make sure to reduce any excess of the candy coating off before it starts to set.
At this point you can do one of two things. If you want lollipop-like cake pops, you can stick them in a piece of styrofoam, let them dry pop side up, and serve them just like that. If you do it this way, you may want to reshape the tips of the balls a bit with your fingers before dipping them, as they may have a flattened bottom from sitting and chilling.
I tend prefer to to place them pop side down with the sticks up in the air. They are still just as cute, but easier to make in large quantities. Plus, you don't have to worry about the flattened bottom since you are just putting it back in that same position anyway.
While the candy coating is still wet, feel free to go crazy with sprinkles, edible glitter, or even crushed nuts. If you are piping or dipping another color onto the pops, wait until the base layer is completely dry before doing so. You may need to melt more candy melts depending on how thick your coating ends up. , it's always good have a few extra bags on hand.
Let your cake pops dry for at least an hour or two before packaging them up. I placed mine in a paper towel-lined ziploc baggies and put them into the refrigerator. You can leave them at room temp for a day or two, or even freeze them for a few weeks.
Lemon Buttermilk Cake:
3 1/2 cups (349 grams) cake flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, sift or whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Add the butter and half the buttermilk. Beat with the paddle attachment on a medium-low speed until combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
In a medium sized bowl, with a fork, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, the rest of the buttermilk, and the vanilla and lemon extracts to combine, just until eggs are broken up. Add the egg mixture to the batter in 3 additions, mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes after each addition, being sure to scrap down the sides of the bowl frequently.
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans until they are cool to the touch, then turn out of pans and cool completely on wire racks.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
In a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter, and beat on medium high speed until smooth. Add the vanilla and salt and mix until incorporated. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Seven permits to be sold to raise money for conservation projects
LAWRENCE — Seven Kansas conservation organizations were awarded 2011 Commission Big Game permits in a drawing conducted at the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission meeting Jan. 6 at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive in Lawrence. Ninety-one eligible applications were submitted for the seven available permits.
Winners of the permits include the following:
- National Wild Turkey Federation, Neosho River Struttin' Toms Chapter (deer) — Brandon Houck, regional biologist, 620-443-5906,email@example.com;
- National Wild Turkey Federation, Smoky Valley Strutters Chapter (deer) — Brandon Houck, regional biologist, 620-443-5906,email@example.com;
- Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams, Southeast Chapter (elk) — C. Douglas Blex, chapter coordinator, 620-289-4663,firstname.lastname@example.com;
- Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams, I-70 Chapter (deer) — John Bond, 785-463-5804, email@example.com;
- Ducks Unlimited, El Dorado Chapter #027 (deer) — Roger Zettl, district chairman, 316-722-0951, email@example.com;
- Ducks Unlimited, Johnson County Chapter (deer) — Gary Mellard, area chairman, 913-851-1349, firstname.lastname@example.com; and
- Safari Club International, Kansas City Chapter (antelope) — Rodney D. Heinsohn, treasurer, 913-236-4490, email@example.com.
Qualified applicants must be local nonprofit conservation organizations or Kansas chapters of national organizations based or operating in Kansas that actively promote wildlife conservation and the hunting and fishing heritage.
Commission Big Game permits were first awarded in 2006. Winners purchase the permits and typically auction them at their respective conventions and banquets to raise funds for conservation projects. After a permit is sold by an organization, the amount of the permit is subtracted, and 85 percent of the proceeds are sent to KDWP to be used on approved projects. After the projects are approved, the money is sent back to the organization for the project. The other 15 percent may be spent at the organization's discretion.
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks regulations allow someone who buys a Commission Big Game permit at auction to also purchase another deer permit valid for an antlered deer or, if the Commission Big Game permit is for an elk, to also draw (or have drawn in the past) an antlered elk permit. These would be the only situations in which an individual could have valid permits for two buck deer in one year, or to have previously drawn an antlered elk permit and still be able to obtain another one. One antelope and one elk Commission Big Game permit are offered in the drawing.
In 2010, permits were won by two National Wildlife Federation Chapters — Bonner Springs (elk permit sold for $9,500) and Mound City (deer permit sold for $5,500); Ottawa Pheasants Forever (deer permit sold for $3,500); Oberlin Gun Club (deer permit sold for $5,500); Ark Valley Ducks Unlimited (deer permit sold for $5,500); National Mule Deer Foundation (deer permit sold for $14,000); and Cowley County Friends of NRA (deer permit sold for $3,500). The permits sold for $47,000 — just $2,000 shy of the record, the first year the drawing was held.

More new species in geologically dynamic region
Mountain formation stimulates increased biodiversity. This is what Carina Hoorn of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and colleagues from the Senckenberg (Germany) and Gothenburg Botanical Garden (Sweden) propose in a Correspondence to the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.
It is often thought that a long-term stable environment lead to species richness and, therefore, greater biodiversity. It now appears that geologically dynamic regions actually play a major role in the increase of biodiversity. The authors have come to this conclusion based on their own research and literature on, among other things, the Andes-Amazon region.
The scientists argue that young mountain ranges such as the Andes, Himalayas and the Zagros (in Iraq and Iran) have caused large-scale landscape and climatic changes in the last 10 million years. In this way, many new habitats have been formed that were beneficial for the development of new species. The newly created corridors stimulated species exchange, while at the same time acting as barriers and separate populations (as a result of which new species could subsequently arise).
The effects of mountain formation and related climate changes have been felt far beyond the mountain ranges. New river systems followed the changes in relief or shifted their course. Such large-scale changes stretched to the coast and the continental shelf where the eroded sediments of the mountains accumulated in river deltas and marine systems. Mountain building thus also drastically affected the marine-biological development.
New data, better understanding
Although the relationship between biodiversity and mountain formation has been documented previously, Hoorn and colleagues propose that the application of new analytical techniques can more accurately determine the timing of speciation and their relation to tectonics.
New geological techniques can better quantify timing of uplift and paleoaltitudes leading to greater insight into the formation mountain ranges. From a molecular-biological perspective, the evolution of plant and animal material can now be mapped out more accurately; in combination with paleontological data, the timing of biological evolution has become much more transparent.
The scientists take the interaction between the Andes and Amazon as an example. However, this model is also applicable to other young mountain ranges as new data becomes available.

There was a recent question discussing dotted overlays/dithering patterns on images, and I wanted to explore the method. I set it up so it was one black pixel, one blank, one black, etc. After duplicating it to cover the page, I found that it created what I can best describe as monitor flicker, or maybe banding? Something's happening on my screen. Here's a screenshot; see if it does the same to you!
What causes this, and how can I minimize it? I found that using other colors helped, but I'd much rather understand why than pick colors and hope it works. I know that monitors are very different from each other, so I'd like to know that if I get it right on my screen, it'll be right on other screens.

This adaptation of a classic recipe comes from Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City. Freeman suggests you use anything but a maraschino cherry (as garnish) to avoid adding a cloying sweetness.
- Yield
- Makes 1 drink
- Dash Angostura Bitters
- Dash orange bitters
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) sweet vermouth
- 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) rye whiskey
- 1 cup ice
- 1 (1/2-inch-thick) strip orange peel
- 1 non-maraschino cherry*
- 1 (4- to 5-inch) wooden skewer
- In chilled cocktail shaker or pint glass, combine Angostura and orange bitters, vermouth, and rye whiskey. Add ice and stir until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into chilled martini or coupe glass. Squeeze orange peel over drink, making sure oils fall into glass, then discard peel. Thread cherry onto skewer, place in drink, and serve.

2009 Polaris Ranger RZR S Upgrades - Better Than Before
Our RZR Gets Beadlocks, Tires, Winch, And Pre-Runner Guard
If you've been reading 4 WHEEL DRIVE & SPORT UTILITY MAGAZINE for a while, you know we really like our Polaris Ranger RZR S. It not only goes very fast (!), it's a superb trail machine, too. As we've said in every installment, the 12 inches of wheel travel supplied by the long A-arms and Fox Podium reservoir shocks make the RZR S the perfect trail side-by-side. Its spool rear and locker up front have all four turning, no matter if some are in the air. The 800 (760cc) transversely-mounted EFI four-stroke twin makes the RZR S feel balanced and stable. The mill runs, no matter what the altitude or attitude.
There have been times on the trail, especially when we're exploring solo (something we don't recommend), that we wished we had a winch. A winch can mean the difference between getting back or...not. So, we ordered Polaris' own 3,500-pound 3.5 RZR winch kit and the Polaris pre-runner guard for the RZR. The Polaris pre-runner guard isn't necessary to install the winch, but it helps protect the frontend of the RZR, so is a good addition.
John Williams at Impulse Off-Road in St. George, Utah, helped us out at his new shop. The winch and pre-runner guard bolted on the RZR S easily (all the holes lined up) and John's wiring was flawless. Now that we had the winch taken care of, it was time to get some new tires.
We've used Interco Swamp Lite ATV tires before, so we are familiar with them. An aggressive tread design that works well almost everywhere and tough nylon bias-ply construction means these tires are great if you're heading into rough territory. For wheels, the RZR S has a 4x156mm bolt pattern, different from most ATVs and UTVs, so there aren't many wheels available for it. OMF Performance takes the OE RZR alloy wheel and makes it a beadlock. The result is a strong, good-looking wheel. We opted for the polished, scalloped ring, but the ring is also available in many anodized colors. Now the Swamp Lites won't come off the bead, no matter how low we go.
The RZR S is even better than before. The Polaris 3.5 winch gives us peace of mind in the backcountry, and the pre-runner guard keeps the front end safe from branches, bushes, and plowing into a sand bank. The Swamp Lite tires don't float at high speed and the OMF/Polaris beadlock wheels keep the tires safely on the wheel.
