Add three more retrieves to Dixie's total! I killed 2 woodie drakes and 1 hooded merganser this morning.
I needed this hunt really bad today!
Our season opened back up on Saturday. Me and a buddy went. We got a mallard, a coot and two limits of bluebills. Dixie made 5 blind retrieves for the day. We had an awesome day on the river and we're getting back at em tomorrow.
Maybe this time I will remember to put a lighter in the boat so we can cook breakfast...DOH!
Kouple of KLOWNS on Christmas Eve......
Merry Christmas

This is Niko's ( 1 Y/O BLF ) first season and she is closing in on the 200 bird mark. She has been flat amazing.
Opening day......bad pic, it was raining. Her first "hunting retrieve" was a double of drake pintail that I dropped.
Day two. Got her first shot at some geese. Found 3 birds that we'd lost for sure without her in some nasty grass that day.
Opening Wen's. Got together with fellow RTF'r 7pintail for a hunt. We had a great time and Niko got to do her thing some more.
Here's a 3 man limit we took on my birthday. She made a 150+ yard blind on a pintial that sailed and fell dead in some open water. That was a proud moment.
Another good one. Got to watch her bring me my 1st drake Redhead.
I could go on and on. Needless to say I am very proud and can't wait for every chance I get to spend with her in the field. She really loves hunting out of the boat. It's something to see to watch her get some serious air off the bow when she's sent. There's no denying her love for what she does.
You've never lived until you've almost died, and for those who have fought for it, life has a whole new flavor, that the protected will never know..........
I notice you harvest quite a few spoonies. Are they good eating out there? I used to put them in our bag until after getting several clunkers last year. They didn't seem to be feeding in the grain fields like they did in the past...preferring too much pond scum, and it really made them taste bad.
That was an awful large sprig in the 2nd to last pic. We never get them to full maturity during the fall hunt around here. I know the west coast...Pacific Flyway...has by far the largest migration of pins in the country. We see beau coups of them in full plumage during the spring migration. Have always wanted to get one for mounting...they are a beautiful bird.
Continued success. Your lab is having the time of her life, which only amplifies your fun.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
We do get a good ammount of Pin's here. I am fortunate to take several big bulls every year.
You've never lived until you've almost died, and for those who have fought for it, life has a whole new flavor, that the protected will never know..........
I love looking at these waterfowl pics. Im just an upland guy. Only waterfowl I can tell you is a canadian goose, a mallard duck, and a wood duck.. Some of these ducks I h ave never seen before. Its very cool and I wish you continued success this season..
RK- Good shootin!

text: A positive North American economic outlook from an industry leader is featured in this week's Material Insights video. Dow Chemical Co. chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris expects the North American automotive and construction sectors to grow in 2013. Liveris also said at a recent media event that his firm's plans to build a new plastic feedstock ethylene plant in Texas are on schedule although he declined to say if that project will include new polyethylene production. The restart of Evonik Industries AG's nylon 12 feedstock plant in Marl, Germany, also is featured in this week's video. The plant which makes CDT had been closed since a fatal explosion and fire in March. Repair work ended late last month, and CDT production will resume by the end of December. The video wraps up with Geo-Tech Polymers LLC's plans to build its second recycling plant. The second plant will cover 123,000 square feet in Waverly, Ohio, about an hour a way from the firm's existing plant and headquarters in Westerville. Geo-Tech is receiving almost $2 million in loans from state agencies and local governments for the project.

Protein-losing enteropathy is an abnormal loss of protein from the digestive tract or the inability of the digestive tract to absorb proteins.
There are many causes of protein-losing enteropathy. Any condition that causes serious inflammation in the intestines can lead to protein loss. Some of the more common causes are:
Symptoms can include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. Symptoms depend on the underlying disease that is causing the protein-losing enteropathy.
Imaging tests may be done to see if there is a problem in the intestinal tract. This may include an CT scan of the abdomen or an upper GI bowel series.
Other tests that may be done include:
The health care provider will treat the condition that caused protein-losing enteropathy.

Production in Kansas City begins on the upcoming PBS Arts special "Homecoming: The Kansas City Symphony Presents Joyce DiDonato," which airs July 20, 2012 as part of PBS Arts Summer Festival. Pictured: Mezzo-Soprano Joyce DiDonato with Frank Byrne, Exec. Director of the Kansas City Symphony.
Homecoming: Day 1
On a misty Wednesday morning, KCPT's crew kicked off a week of production as Kansas City Symphony's Executive Director Frank Byrne officially welcomed home, Mezzo Soprano and Prairie Village native, Joyce DiDonato. With umbrella in hand, Joyce exited her car to a welcoming entourage of cameras as she got her first official tour of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts – her "home" for the next several days.
Joyce, Maestro Michael Stern and the symphony's new concert master Noah Geller led an afternoon of rehearsals in Helzberg Hall. These were just a tiny glimpse of what audiences have to look forward to this weekend when Joyce performs with the Kansas City Symphony (March 23 – 25) and KCPT captures it all for the upcoming PBS Arts special.
Although this weekend will be Joyce's first performance at the Kauffman Center, she took the stage on Wednesday night (March 21) as part of the Symphony's Master Class series. Students from UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance, University of Kansas and Wichita State University got the rare opportunity to learn vocal technique from the recent Grammy winner.
But it wasn't just the students who walked off stage in awe of the vocalist; she had the audience of over 900 people equally inspired. Joyce spoke to the crowd about the importance of the arts saying, "I'm so happy to see a resurgence and a focus on the arts [on Public Television] because I think there is a real hunger in this country and other place for this kind of experience. Something that is deep and real and something that shows us what we can be: bigger than ourselves. An opera, a symphonic work takes so many people and so much effort to bring it together."
Homecoming: Day 2
On day two of KCPT's filming of "Homecoming: The Kansas City Symphony Presents Joyce DiDonato", the documentary team on the production crew filmed rehearsals and behind the scenes interviews. At the same time, a production crew devoted entirely to capturing the concerts worked on coordinating the taping of Saturday and Sunday's performances. Coordinating the duties and shot lists of eleven different cameras is no easy task!
Homecoming: Day 3
On day three of the production of Homecoming: The Kansas City Symphony Presents Joyce DiDonato, the crew put the pedal to the metal, literally. In the morning, the 63 foot long HD production truck arrived at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and a crew of engineers worked all day to pull about 7000 feet of cable from the truck, through the belly of the Kauffman to Helzberg Hall, where eleven cameras will capture the KC Symphony and DiDonato's performance. About mid-day the Symphony and DiDonato did their final rehearsal before Friday evening's performance. Adjustments to lighting design, camera placement and audio were also refined.
Homecoming: Day 4 and 5
During the final two days 0f taping, the major focus was capturing the Saturday evening and Sunday matinee performances. After the Saturday evening concert, producers worked into the early hours of the morning analyzing the shots captured by all eleven cameras and then updating the shot list and plan of attack for Sunday, which was the final opportunity to capture any missing shots.
In addition, during Sunday's concert there was a short "patch performance", where the KC Symphony and DiDonato re-did a few measures to ensure that not so much a cough from the audience would detract from the taping. After Sunday's performance, KCPT's engineering and production worked feverishly to load out all the cameras, the 7000 feet of cable and get the HD truck ready to go in just few hours. During pack-up part of the documentary crew followed Joyce DiDonato back to her loft to capture a special family celebration of the monumental weekend. The family shared Jack Stack BBQ and Joyce showed us the amazing view of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts from her window.

This is the first proper nano-gigapan using the a modified gigapan unit attached to a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image was then assembled was then stitched using the gigapan stitching software. The image is of an ants head at 1000X magnification.
Brian Fisher, the chair of entomology at the California Academy of Sciences identified this ant as a Linepithema humile. More information about this ant can be found in the following two links:

Stunning O.O
Odyssey, This SEM does have manual knobs, it's a very simple SEM. I've simply attached the stepper motors to the knobs using some flexible tubing. I'm not using a digital shutter yet, doing it by hand, it's very time consuming, about a minute per picture. I hope to be able to make a macro on the computer to automate this, which can be triggered by the servo finger pressing a key or something. I didn't modify the gigapan firmware, it's all kept as-is.
Wow, this is amazing.
The Nanopan is very cool! Does the SEM normally have manual knobs for adjusting the stage, and you hooked the steppers up to their posts? Did you use a 'Digital' shutter release or do you have a servo finger pushing a button on the microscope;) ? Did you have to modify the Gigapan firmware at all or adjust any revolution settings? What about hooking up such a setup to a regular microscope to get some nice color photos? Maybe even do some focus stacking on a optical scope and have some big depth of field!
DAVe says WHOA! Great job Jay & Rich!
Yes, Rich did help with this a lot, without his encouragement, it wouldn't have happened. Jmurray, the stepper motors of the gigapan have been brought out to the xy stage of a Hitachi TM-1000 desktop SEM. It's fairly straightforward, though as DiscoveryLatin pointed out, the crucial bit is the SEM. I'll try to post some more information about the setup later. Here is an image of the setup: www.flickr.com/photos/ordaos/35071 49729 /Thanks for the enthusiasm, it's got me taking more :) I'm looking at salt crystals right now and will post the results soon.
Very Cool. Is this the equipment that Rich helped with? Hopefully you will be shooting some more of these. jmurray, you may need to go to the nearest university physics department and hope that they have a scanning electron microscope. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_ele ctron_microscope
Great Job! I would really really really like to know how to do these types of photos. Can you post here the equipment you used and how you modified your gigapan? or email me at "jmurray6834" at yahoo dot com? Thanks!

MJQ was founded by Malcolm Jackson (MJ), who has specialised in brokering professional recording studio properties since 1965, a role he fell into when Barry Gray (of Thunderbirds fame) asked to clear out the entire contents of his studio and sell the building before going offshore.
Equipment sales had already been a sideline for MJ whilst running Jackson Studios with his brother John, which they had developed from the former studio of their Dad, the famous BBC Radio disc jockey Jack Jackson (http://www.radioacademy.org/hall-of-fame-member/jack-jackson/) and thanks to legendary engineer Vic Maile, Jackson Studios became synonymous with the punk era; Motorhead's Ace of Spades was notably one of Vic's biggest successes there (http://www.philsbook.com/jacksons.html)

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:29 PM GMT on September 08, 2009
Tropical Storm Fred sprang to life yesterday off the coast of Africa, but is not a threat to any land areas for at least the next week. Satellite imagery from the European satellite shows a well-organized circulation with plenty of low-level spiral bands and high cirrus clouds streaming away from the storm at high levels, indicating good upper level outflow. There is dry air of the Saharan Air Layer to the north of Fred, but it is far enough away so as not to be a major impediment to development. Wind shear is moderate, 10 - 15 knots, and ocean temperatures are 1 - 2°C above the threshold needed for tropical cyclone formation.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Fred, off the coast of Africa. Note the layer of low stratocumulus clouds to Fred's north, a sign of relatively dry, stable air there.
The forecast for Fred
Wind shear this afternoon is expected to drop to the low range, 5 - 10 knots, and continue to remain low until Thursday morning, when it will rise to the moderate range again. Given Fred's current improving appearance, the storm should be able to attain hurricane status by Thursday. At that time, a strong trough of low pressure traversing the North Atlantic will bring higher shear, weakening the storm. The trough will also pull Fred to the northwest and then north. Most of the models foresee that this trough will not be strong enough to fully recurve Fred to the northeast and out to sea. However, with the steering pattern for this year continuing to feature plenty of deep troughs of low pressure moving off the U.S. East Coast, the odds of Fred making it all the way across the Atlantic to threaten land areas appear low at this time.
Elsewhere in the tropics
An area of concentrated thunderstorms has developed off the North Carolina coast in association with the remains of an old cold front. This system is under about 20 - 30 knots of shear, and is not tropical. However, it will bring heavy rain to eastern North Carolina and Virginia today and Wednesday, as the storm slides north-northeastward along the coast.
A strong low pressure system is expected to move into the central U.S. by this weekend, dragging a cold front into the western Gulf of Mexico. In several of their runs over the past few days, the GFS and ECMWF models have been predicting a tropical system may develop along this front in the western Gulf of Mexico by Sunday or Monday. The latest GFS phase space analysis of the predicted storm confirms that this would be a tropical cyclone, and not extratropical. There is currently not an area of disturbed weather in the Gulf, but we will have to keep an eye out there beginning this weekend, when the front moves offshore.
I'll have an update Wednesday, when I'll also announce the release of wunderground's excellent new series of storm surge pages. The new storm surge section provides more than 500 detailed, zoomed-in storm surge maps from the official storm surge model used by the National Hurricane Center--the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. The Weather Underground has created SLOSH model worst-case flood maps for Category 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hurricanes for the entire U.S. Atlantic coast, plus Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. Zoom-in maps of fifteen important cities such as Miami, New York City, Boston, Tampa, and Corpus Christi are included. To help coastal residents see how past storms have affected their region, the wunderground storm surge pages also include SLOSH model animations of the surge for more than 30 historic storms--from the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 to Hurricane Ike of 2008. Included here is one section from the new storm surge pages, "Storm Surge Survival Misconceptions".
Storm Surge Survival Misconceptions
The storm surge is usually the most dangerous threat of a hurricane. The ten deadliest U.S. hurricane disasters, including the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 (8000 killed), the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 (2500 killed), and Hurricane Katrina of 2005 (1833 killed), were all primarily storm surge disasters. The Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald ran a series of stories in 2005 on people who were lucky enough to survive Hurricane Katrina's record storm surge. There were some common misconceptions that were touched on in these stories, and are reproduced here from Margie's Kieper's blog on the Hurricane Katrina storm surge.
Figure 2. A man wearing a tiny life jacket and clutching a neon green noodle and a pet dog floats on the remains of a house in Waveland, MS, during Hurricane Katrina. The photo was taken from the second floor window of a home, and the water is close to the roof line of the first floor. The home was at an elevation of about 17 feet, and the surge is close to ten feet deep here. There are electric lines running down from a pole to a home from left to right. In the distance on the right is a home with water up to the roof line. The eye is probably overhead, as the water is relatively calm and there appears to be little wind or rain, even though the pine trees are bent from the recent force of the eyewall winds. The photo was taken by Judith Bradford. Her husband, Bill Bradford, swam out and rescued the man and his dog, and two other people who floated by. He reported that the water was nothing like white water, but was a gentle, continuous flow. He was lucky. In the nearby Porteaux Bay area, a woman watched her fiance get pulled from a tree by the force of the current. The man was washed out into the Gulf and drowned. The image above is described in more detail on Margie Kieper's Katrina storm surge web page.
Misconception: Call 911 and you can be rescued, while the water is pouring into your home.
How? No one will be able to get to you. Water rises quickly--sometimes six to ten feet within minutes; cars can't drive in it, and it is usually unnavigable by boats when it is coming ashore.
Misconception: Just stuff towels under the door jambs. Then rush around to start picking up things that are close to floor level, so you can save them.
Bad idea. In a minute or so the surge will burst open the door, and instead of standing in a room with four inches of water, you'll be knocked off your feet and into whatever piece of furniture is closest, and will suddenly be in three or four feet of moving water that you can't make any headway into...just before the refrigerator, quickly rushing through the water towards you, knocks you cold.
Misconception: You'll be able to maneuver around in the rushing water.
Probably not. Some people who drowned were not even able to get out of the room they were in, when the water started pouring into the home. The speed of water in surge can be equivalent to a Class III or IV rapids (Class V is hardly navigable by expert kayakers and canoers, and Class VI is not navigable at all).
Misconception: You'll know in time.
The surge is usually not a wall of water as is often assumed, but rather a rapid rise of water of several feet over a period of minutes. It can sneak in unexpectedly, on little cat feet. Most people that were not completely taken by surprise simply happened to look out the window at the right time.
Misconception: You can outrun the storm surge in your car.
Here's an email I got last year from a resident in the Florida Keys who ignored the evacuation order for Hurricane Ike in 2008: I hate to bother you again, but we live on Marathon in the Florida Keys on the Atlantic side, and my husband says that if we see water coming up from storm surge and have an inch of water in our house, that we can outrun the storm surge in our car. Can you please tell me if there is any way this can possibly be true? P.S., I don't know of anyone who lives down here who is planning on evacuating for Ike. Everyone says they are staying. If you wait until the water is an inch high before trying to outrun the surge, the odds are that the surge will rise to over a foot high before you get your car out of the driveway. If the water is a foot high, the typical 10 - 15 mph speed of the storm surge's current has enough force to sweep a car away. In many places along the coast, there is only one road out of a low-lying region prone to storm surges, and the surge will cut off one's only escape route. The Keys have only one road, and the storm surge will likely be moving perpendicular to the road, cutting off the only escape route. One of these days, there are going to be a lot of people who fail to evacuate caught and killed in the Keys by the storm surge from a major hurricane.
How to Survive a Storm Surge
People who survived Katrina's storm surge did one of several things: they floated out an open window, and managed to hang onto debris, a tree, or some other structure above the water, until the surge receded, hours later. Or, they were able to pull themselves into an attic, or make it up to a second floor, where water did not reach, and luckily the home was not swept away. It is common in many flood-prone regions behind levees to keep an axe fastened to the wall of the attic. Then, if water comes in unexpectedly, you can get into the attic and chop a hole through the roof to escape. Don't forget to keep a length of rope there that you can use to tie yourself to a sturdy part of the house (don't tie yourself to the steel beams of the house, as these will sink).
The best way to survive a storm surge is to heed evacuation orders and leave before the surge arrives!
Storm Surge Safety Actions
- Minimize the distance you must travel to reach a safe location; the further you drive the higher the likelihood of encountering traffic congestion and other problems on the roadways.
- Select the nearest possible evacuation destination, preferably within your local area, and map out your route. Do not get on the road without a planned route, or a place to go.
- Choose the home of the closest friend or relative outside a designated evacuation zone and discuss your plan with them before hurricane season.
- You may also choose a hotel/motel outside of the vulnerable area.
- If neither of these options is available, consider the closest possible public shelter, preferably within your local area.
- Use the evacuation routes designated by authorities and, if possible, become familiar with your route by driving it before an evacuation order is issued.
- Contact your local emergency management office to register or get information regarding anyone in your household whom may require special assistance in order to evacuate.
- Prepare a separate pet plan; most public shelters do not accept pets.
- Prepare your home prior to leaving by boarding up doors and windows, securing or moving indoors all yard objects, and turning off all utilities.
- Before leaving, fill your car with gas and withdraw extra money from the ATM.
- Take all prescription medicines and special medical items, such as glasses and diapers.
- If your family evacuation plan includes an RV, boat or trailer, leave early. Do not wait until the evacuation order or exodus is well underway to start your trip.
- If you live in an evacuation zone and are ordered to evacuate by state or local officials, do so as quickly as possible. Do not wait or delay your departure, to do so will only increase your chances of being stuck in traffic, or even worse, not being able to get out at all.
- Expect traffic congestion and delays during evacuations. Expect and plan for significantly longer travel times than normal to reach your family's intended destination.
- Stay tuned to a local radio or television station and listen carefully for any advisories or specific instructions from local officials. Monitor your NOAA Weather Radio.

May Day strike disrupts transport in GreeceAP , Associated Press
May. 1, 2013 3:59 AM ET
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Ferry and train services in Greece have ground to a halt as unions hold a strike for May Day.
And hundreds of people are gathering for planned rallies in central Athens Wednesday.
The country's main labor unions are protesting soaring unemployment, which is the highest in the 27-country European Union, and the austerity measures the government is enacting in return for crucial bailout loans.
Greece nearly went bankrupt in 2010 and has since depended on money from its euro partners and the International Monetary Fund, granted on condition the government pursues deep spending cuts and wide-ranging economic reforms.
While the austerity has succeeded in reducing high budget deficits, it has been at a huge cost. The country is now in its sixth year of a deep recession.

Darren Aronofsky's Noah hit theaters this week, and the movie about the Original Flood features plenty of rain, as you would expect, but also giants, battles and plenty of other details not to be found in the bible. Noah's gotten mixed reviews–the Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern calls the film "a daring venture in mainstream entertainment," while Grantland's Wesley Morris faults Aronofsky for trying to be "James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and Terrence Malick at the same time"–but that shouldn't keep Noah from doing well enough at the box office: Box Office Mojo expects Noah to haul in some $36 million this weekend.
Investors in what had been some of the market's hottest stocks must surely feel as if they've been hit by the wrath of a vengeful deity this week. Sure, the S&P 500 fell just 0.5% this week after rallying 0.5% to 1,857.62 on Friday, but that was despite big drops in Netflix (NFLX), which plunged 12% this week, Facebook (FB) which fell 11%, E*Trade Financial (ETFC), which declined 9.1%, and Biogen Idec (BIIB), which dropped 7.7%.
What do those stocks have in common? Their sky-high valuations. Netflix's 90% rise during the past 12 months has left it trading at 54 times forward earnings, according to Morningstar, while Facebook's 135% gain has left it trading at 37 times. After gaining 11% during the past 12 months, E*Trade Financial trades at 19.3 times forward earnings and Biogen trades at 47.7 times after rising 53%. All told, the S&P 500 Growth Index fell 1.6%, while the S&P 500 Value Index dropped just 0.2%.
A preference for bargains was obvious even when picking countries, where just about even market is cheaper than the U.S. That helped Brazil's Bovespa gain 5% this week, Japan's Nikkei 225 rise 3.3%, India's Sensex advance 2.7% and Germany's DAX jumped 2.6%. Barclays' Jim McCormick, for one, notes there's "a lot of value in risk assets when you look outside the US." This week, investors went looking for it.
MRB Partners' Salvatore Ruscitti remains optimistic about prospects for U.S. equities:
A recovery in U.S. and global economies will drive a modest rebound in U.S. earnings growth, thus underpinning further stock market gains in the year ahead. While the Fed lifted its projected path for interest rates last week, it will continue to move glacially in normalizing policy, ensuring ongoing reflationary support for the economy. Equities are no longer cheap, but remain less expensive than government bonds and other safe-haven assets. Against this backdrop, MRB expects solid returns from U.S. equities, albeit with greater volatility than in the past 12 months.
After this week's performance, no one will doubt the volatility.

Highly appropriate for 2012 Paddington Goes for Gold sees Paddington taking part in a family sports event with The Browns but, as always with Paddington, things don't always go to plan!
Harper Collins also have a huge range of Annuals, a must have for any Christmas Stocking! Packed with activities, games and puzzles they bring back memories of my own Christmas mornings and many a day thereafter.
The Hello Kitty Annual 2013 is available from Amazon currently priced at £ 4.68, a small price to pay for hours of Hello Kitty fun!
Dunelm Mill is a great place for crafty Stocking Fillers for the kids, this Make Your Own Fashion Keyring Set is a bargain at just £2.99 and is bound to bring a smile to any mini fashionistas face.
If messy fun is more your little ones thing then this Sponge Painting Set is the thing for them. At £3.99 it includes paper, four stencils, eight sponges, four primary coloured paints, three sponge rollers and one flat sponge, everything you'll need to creative the perfect colourful picture.

The Bath Foam is fun mouldable soap, great for making soapy headgear and general good clean fun! Imogen and Joseph had great fun with the Bath Time Body Paint, each armed with a different colour they made it their challenge to cover each other with as much of the stuff as their bodies could take!

Biolife to be acquired by Acuvax
Singapore: Australian shareholders are being given the opportunity to buy into a highly promising biotech with a vaccine that shows significant potential in the fight against stomach (gastric) and breast cancer. Biolife Science will be acquired by Perth-based Acuvax. The Patersons-managed raising aims to generate up to $5 million for phase II clinical trials of Biolife's HER-Vaxx vaccine, which has shown significant success in stimulating the production of lifesaving HER-2 antibodies in late-stage cancer patients.
HER-Vaxx is expected to provide a natural, potentially more potent alternative to Roche's popular injectable antibody, Herceptin, which has become one of the world's best-selling cancer drugs with sales of $6.4 billion in 2012. Metastatic breast cancer patients in Biolife's phase I study developed HER-2 antibodies that produced potent anti-tumour activity, thus inducing an antibody response with similar anti-tumour properties to Roche's Herceptin and effectively turning the patient's body into a 'Herceptin factory'.
An Investigational New Drug (IND) application is expected to be filed with the FDA Q3, 2013 and Biolife has already appointed a leading Swiss vaccine producer Pevion Biotech to manufacture the HER-Vaxx vaccine. This will be ready for the commencement of the subsequent phase II clinical study. The incoming management team includes seasoned biotechnology executives and company builders Dr Roger Aston and Mr Paul Hopper as well as a Scientific Advisory Board that includes several of the inventors.
Dr Roger Aston, who is going to be a part of the incoming management, said that, "This is an exhilarating moment for Biolife, which can now see a new life for itself and for one of the most promising new oncology drugs to emerge in recent times. We have no doubt that this represents the most expedient way forward for our shareholders, our technology, and - ultimately - for the thousands of cancer patients that stand to benefit from this highly promising vaccine. Given the comparatively low levels of investment activity in Europe, the opportunity has arisen to progress this ground-breaking vaccine with Australian funds for clinical studies in Europe and possibly also in Australia."
After undergoing a 200-to-one share consolidation, Acuvax is seeking to raise up to $5 million through the placement of up to 25 million shares at $0.20 each, giving Biolife an initial market cap of $11.3 million and paving the way for the phase II trials of HER-Vaxx following approval of an FDA IND application.

A resolution may be on the horizon for a disbarred lawyer who once represented a company linked to a massive fraud case.
That's according to the lawyer for William J. Parsons, 61, who is facing 38 counts of fraud over $5,000 and a single count of conspiracy to commit fraud.
Parsons was not present in St. John's Provincial Court Wednesday morning, but defence lawyer Arnold Hussey told Judge Pamela Goulding he was optimistic about the prospect of moving towards some sort of resolution with the case. The matter will return to court April 15.
The accused was first charged in December 2012 following a lengthy investigation by the RCMP's commercial crime section.
Parsons, whose law practice was based in Mount Pearl, is not in custody. Myles-Leger Ltd. operated as a construction company in St. John's, developing residential subdivisions and condominiums.
The fraud allegations stem from events spanning a four-year-period from January 2000 to May 2004. The company declared bankruptcy in 2004.
The Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador first suspended Parsons in May 2004 and then disbarred him in December of the following year.
Company co-owners Randall Myles Clarke, 53, and William Leger Clarke, 54, and former company comptroller Terrence M. Reardon, 52, are also facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit fraud. Their case is due back in court April 7.

The tragedy of Iran is that it may not be able to reach an agreement over its nuclear program even when it knows it needs one. The Islamic Republic's political class knows its hold on power depends on sustained economic growth, and that in turn requires a resolution of the nuclear issue. But the men who rule Iran still want the leverage of nuclear power.
The Islamic Republic was thought to be different this time around. The world was hopeful that the presidential election of 2013 would put to rest the sham of the 2009 election. After all, in this telling, the forces of moderation that were denied the presidency finally reclaimed the office when Hassan Rouhani was elected to succeed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The system had managed to rehabilitate itself and regain a measure of its credibility. The supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proved his flexibility and thus managed to preserve his teetering republic.
But this view ignores the lasting effects of the fraudulent 2009 election. Once millions of Iranians poured into the streets claiming that Ahmadinejad had stolen the election, the right and center political factions closed ranks. The challenge to the system came as much from the protesters as it did from leftist reformers, many of whom chose to separate themselves from the government. The repression that followed was swift, and the reformers excised from the body politic. The prisons are still filled with those who have chosen to "live in truth" rather than join the lie.

The Street.com reports that Jeffrey Gundlach thinks Apple shares will have trouble making it beyond $530 in the coming months.
The CEO and chief investment officer of DoubleLine Capital told CNBC that Apple (AAPL) can move higher from its current price, near $494.19, up 0.6% today. But he said Apple "is a dead-money stock for quite a while to come, once it settles in around $530."
Gundlach told CNBC in June that $500 was an easy mark, but said Apple stock might never reach $700 again.
Gundlach also said he is "scared to death" to short Tesla Motors (TSLA), which he said is "a cultish stock and who knows where it goes?" Barron's wrote a skeptical cover story on Tesla published on June 10. The shares are up about 62% since, to $165.93. (See "Recharge Now!," subscription required.)

In this time period of billions of years, encompassing billions of galaxies, we don't have the slightest inkling as to the potential evolutionary paths other forms of life could of taken. Not an inkling. To try to use a species who a few thousand years ago was just leaving the Stone Age and only a number of decades ago started using electricity as a model as to what path a species, let alone a majority of sapient species that you postulated, millions of light years away would take is extremely arrogant. A few hundred years ago we couldn't imagine what the world would be like today. It's hardly a reach saying that its extremely difficult to see where we are going to be 400 years from now. How can we possibly imagine what 1000 years, 10000 years, a million years of evolution would bring to a sapient species. So how can we possibly imagine the paths that other species on planets throughout this vast universe would take. The possibilities are near endless due to the vastness of the universe and its time of being. Species could of evolved in a manner that are so alien to our way if thinking that we can barely comprehend it. So to look at a species that just very recently were using rocks and spears to catch their dinner and were living in caves and to try to use them as a model as to what is going on upon billions of light years of space is extremely arrogant to me.
Think about it. Youre theorizing about what is happening to most species over a distance of billions of light years and using man as a paradigm. You're saying "well, even though the universe is 14 billion years old and my species has only been living out of caves a few thousand, I think most sapient species in the universe did x because a few billion members of a species on a rock on the outer edges of a galaxy which consists of hundreds of billions of stars are doing y". It's the epitome of arrogance. Its analogous as a person trying to prove or disprove the existence of a higher power by using what they personally would do as their main rationale.

Reality Check: A little flash, a little science for the 'Nerds' contestantsJanuary 31, 2014 9:54 PM
"King of the Nerds this week asked 'What's nerdier/more fun than a science fair?'
Watching this bunch of chemists, gamers and fantasy writers, the answer was cheerfully obvious: nothing.
The teams on Season two of TBS' Thursday night geekfest had to incorporate that scholastic classic, the volcano, in a presentation both fact-based and showy.
Contestant Mary Kate Smith immediately waxed nostalgic about their corporate sponsor for this one ("Radio Shack, that's where I bought my first soldering iron !")
Katie Correll, a Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center masters student, was all revved up and declared, "This is special effects, so this is what I do."
She's right, despite attitude from Titans of Rigel teammate Kayla LaFrance. The latter was angry there seems to be too much flash and too little science, but a panel of guest judges including Bill Nye the Science Guy named their team, Titans of Rigel, the winner.
Elsewhere in reality TV ...
• Not for the first time has Syfy's "Face Off" pursued the design of dragons, but here the artists were charged with branching out from the usual fire-breathing variety.
That was good news for Tyler Green, one of four contestants with degrees from the Tom Savini Special Make-Up Effects program at the Douglas Education Center in Monessen.
Mr. Green chose to cross a vulture with the reptilian nature of an ice-breathing dragon. The effect was creepy and cool, and the judges panel went nuts over it.
Not so fortunate was another Savini grad, Tess Laeh. From the very start, Ms. Laeh had problems sculpting the face of her feathery, quilled dragon. The result was lopsided and painted an unpleasant shade of Barney purple, and her head was on the chopping block.
Yet another designer missed the mark by an even broader margin, so Ms. Laeh survived to sculpt another day.
• It would be inaccurate to refer to some of the 11 teams for CBS's upcoming "The Amazing Race" all-star edition as "fan favorites." Sisters Natalie and Nadiya Anderson screeching "Twinnies" or the mother/son teams of Margie O'Donnell and Luke Adams getting into a fight with another team (arguing in both spoken word and American Sign Language) did not make for fond memories.
But compete they will, spanning the globe over four continents, nine countries and 35,000 miles. Just when viewers think they've seen it all, look for a twist that will keep one of the all-stars from even reaching the starting line.
Teams are: Cousins Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, the "Afghanimals"; reality stars Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, now newlyweds; country singers Jennifer Wayne and Caroline Cutbirth; cowboys and brothers Jet and Cord McCoy; father/son cancer survivors David and Connor O'Leary; and Harlem Globetrotters Herbert "Flight Time" Lang and Nate "Big Easy" Lofton.
Also racing the world with host Phil Keoghan are engaged couple John Eck and Jessica Hoel, who infamously became the only "TAR" team to ever be eliminated while in possession of an Express Pass; Ms. O'Donnell and Mr. Adams; the Anderson sisters; YouTube hosts Joey Graceffa and Meghan Camarena; and "Team Kentucky," William "Bopper" Minton and Mark Jackson.
"The Amazing Race" kicks off its 24th cycle Feb. 23 at 8 p.m.
• Google has jumped into the "American Idol" game.
Fox's venerable voice competition also is pairing with Facebook to allow voters unprecedented ways of voting once the weekly live shows begin Feb. 26. Choices are: Google search, online at www.americanidol.com, via the AI app, text message and toll-free phone calling. In addition, fans will be able to engage in online conversation, and their voting choices -- including rankings and geographic trends -- will be available on screen.
• ABC's "Extreme Weight Loss" will hold an open casting call Feb. 22 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Rock Bottom Brewery at the Waterfront. The show is visiting 13 cities searching for season five candidates.
Interested participants are encouraged to pre-register at www.extremeweightlosscasting.com. More information also can be found on Twitter @EWL_Casting.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Film Score)
In 1968 Williams earned his first Academy Award nomination for his work in Valley of the Dolls; in 1970, he garnered nods for both The Reivers and Goodbye, Mr. Chips, and two years later finally won for Fiddler on the Roof. A slew of Oscar nominations followed, for features including The Poseidon Adventure, Images, Tom Sawyer, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974 he first teamed with a young filmmaker named Steven Spielberg on a movie titled The Sugarland Express; the two frequently reteamed over the years to come, with often stunning results -- Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, and Schindler's List were just a few of the Spielberg/Williams pairings, with Jaws, E.T., and Schindler's List all winning the composer Academy Awards.
Williams' other most frequent collaborator was George Lucas; beginning with 1977's Star Wars -- yet another Williams Oscar winner -- they later teamed for 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi, with the composer agreeing to score Lucas' subsequent Star Wars films as they went into production in 1997. He even celebrated his 30th anniversary of working with Steven Spielberg with 2002's Minority Report soundtrack. Other scores of note included 1979's Superman, 1987's The Witches of Eastwick, 1988's The Accidental Tourist, 1991's JFK, and 1995's Nixon. In 1980, Williams also took over for the late Arthur Fiedler as the conductor of the Boston Pops. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Carl Icahn, who has been pressing Apple (AAPL) to do a bigger share buyback since this summer, tweeted a short while ago that he has sent a new letter to Apple management, without disclosing details, and alluding to a broader announcement tomorrow:
@Carl_C_Icahn: Just sent a letter to Tim Cook. Full letter will be disclosed on my website, the Shareholders' Square Table, which will be launched tomorrow.
CNBC's Scott Wapner a short while ago offered some detail from an unnamed source he'd spoken with by phone. Said Wapner, "The letter continues to make the case for a strong buyback. It apparently unveils a pledge that Carl Icahn is willing to make to [Apple CEO] Tim Cook," though Wapner doesn't say what such a "pledge" would be.
Wapner said the pledge might be part of a new "platform" that Icahn plans to unveil, called "shareholder swear," which Icahn may publicly disclose tomorrow.
"He wants to make a platform to get the rules changed in corporate America," reports Wapner. "The big takeaway is that Carl continues to press the case on Apple. I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going away. When these activist investors don't get their way, they continue to send letters, they continue to press the case."
Added Wapner, "I think people would be surprised if Cook did another big buyback."
Apple shares today are up $4.48, or 0.9%, at $524.35.

"Dream Zine"

Darin Klein of "Darin Klein and Friends" asked me to be apart of his third annual Box of Books. He is selling the 100 boxes of around 25 custom made zines at the New York Art Book Fair. I made 110 "dream zines" for his box which feature drawings I have made and transcribed dreams from the past year.
(You can buy the box from Darin at the art book fair or I am selling the extra ten zines in the store section of this site... for an exorbitantly larger amount.)

An ancient contemplative practice, versions of which are used in all spiritual traditions, Centering Prayer is a silent meditative space in which we seek stillness and renewal. It has been described as "a movement beyond conversation to communion."
We will practice a 20-minute period and guidance will be given. We hope to create a well of quiet, contemplative space amid the busyness and noise of the working week.

LiverKick.com Heavyweight Rankings: January 2012
- Written by Dave Walsh
Welcome back to the LiverKick.com rankings. These rankings are an attempt to break down the top 10 fighters in three different weight classes - Heavyweight, for fighters above the 85kg limit, Middleweight, for fighters at the 70-72.5kg limit, and Light Heavyweight, for fighters at the 77-84kg limit. Our rankings are based on in-ring accomplishments and recent wins and loses. We hope they reflect where these fighters currently stand, although we recognize that all rankings are inherently subjective.
|Semmy Schilt
|Badr Hari
|Peter Aerts
|Gokhan Saki
|Daniel Ghita
|Rico Verhoeven
|Tyrone Spong
|Hesdy Gerges
|Errol Zimmerman
|Sergei Laschenko
Heavyweight - January 2012
Heavyweight actually saw a lot of movement this time around, which after a rather static year in 2011 was refreshing to see. While it does feel a bit odd to still include Semmy Schilt as #1 in the division due to A) not winning the 2010 World Grand Prix and B) he did not fight in 2011 at all, he is still the measuring stick for success within the division. It is safe to say that as long as Alistair Overeem, the 2010 World Grand Prix winner, is under a contract to the UFC, he will not be kickboxing anytime soon. Schilt still plans on being active in 2012 and will without a doubt be involved in whatever FIKA organizes. Badr Hari holds strong at #2 for his achievements in past years, for fighting in 2011 and having a high profile fight scheduled for this month. Peter Aerts holds strong at #3 after an amazing performance in the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix and remaining somewhat active in 2011 having at least one fight against a lesser opponent. Aerts has remained in fighting shape and has decided it is still not time to retire. While it is rough that he lost all of 2011, 2012 will be a different year.
Gokhan Saki had a pretty good 2011, winning the Glory World Series with two wins, one over Wendell Roche and another over Brice Guidon. Not top competition within the division, but tough fighters. Rumors of him leaving Kickboxing seem to not be true as there are rumors of him fighting in June for It's Showtime, and of course, he fights #2 Badr Hari in a few weeks. From here is where the big shifting goes on. Daniel Ghita shifts up one position not out of defeating someone above him, but more because of the fall of Hesdy Gerges to Rico Verhoeven. Rico makes his apprehensive debut in the top ten at #6, with the question of will he be able to get another big win or will he fall back into obscurity? Hesdy, on the other hand, will rematch against Daniel Ghita with Ghita getting a chance at redemption. Tyrone Spong stays at #7 and looks to not be "retiring" from Kickboxing, either.
Errol Zimmerman makes his heroic return to the top ten after having a redemption year of redemption years in 2011. Zimmerman went 6-0 for the year, demolishing some lesser competition while moving back up the ladder before running through the SuperKombat: Fight Club one night tournament at the end of the year to cement his spot at the top. Another product of a SuperKombat tournament moving up in the world is Sergei Laschenko, making his debut in the LiverKick Top 10. He had a very strong 2011 in SuperKombat before winning their World Grand Prix, putting fringe-top ten fighter Ismael Londt to sleep in the first round to secure his spot in the sun.
With every rise must come a fall, and the retirement and Boxing debut of Kyotaro has forced our hand to remove him. Many other fighters had talked about leaving Kickboxing behind, but Kyotaro vacated his K-1 Heavyweight Championship and severed his ties with FEG, which in Japan is not a great idea if you want to continue moving forward. Seeing as though no one outside of FEG has booked Kyotaro for a fight in ages, it is fair to say he might be done. Ewerton Teixeira is in a similar situation, to where K-1 was using him to add international flavor. With FEG out of the K-1 picture, potentially, and him being incredibly inactive, it is safe to say that Teixeira is done for the time being. Jerome Le Banner has fallen off of the top ten as his Le Banner Tour is seemingly him against smaller men, not actual Heavyweights, who are unranked. This, as well as his commitments to Antonio Inoki's IGF professional wrestling means for the time being, until he faces another top 10 fighters, JLB is out of the picture.

Binghamton University to hold public interest meeting
The public is invited to a meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 22, in the Tau Bearcat Clubroom in the Events Center on the Binghamton University campus to learn about a footpath and bridge the University hopes to build on the eastern edge of campus.
The footpath would allow pedestrians, bikers and small electric vehicles to safely traverse a creek before crossing Murray Hill Road to access the University's Innovative Technologies Complex. We have reason to believe that pedestrians are currently using the property intended pathway as a shortcut, causing potential for injury.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents and the community to hear the University's practical, safe solution to pedestrians traversing the creek.

I take back what I said when I agreed with Ali that Nautilus is getting worse. I actually started using Nautilus a bit over the last few days, after finding the 'close parent windows' feature. I became curious to see just what I could do these days if I wasn't so handy with a terminal, and I was pleasantly surprised. Once I'd gotten used to things and set up a couple of bookmarks, I realised how easy some jobs are now. I managed to mount my camera flash card, copy it to my laptop, open the folder up in gthumb, put a copy on the family Samba server so my mum and dad could have a look on their machine. I also managed to browse to my brother's computer, see a load of his music and open it in Rhythmbox. There's probably a couple of people now thinking 'duh? so what', but last time I tried doing stuff like this with Nautilus, I had problems (I can't remember exactly what, except that I recall it wasn't trivially fixed). Still room for improvement, but it's impressive already.
Spent most of the day out on the bike, showing Mee some of the nicer parts of the countryside and finding shops that sell spare parts for remote control gliders, so I can get mine fixed up and go flying one day soon. The wind's looking good, and I need to take Mee out every day, or she'll be fed up of watching me work every waking hour of the day. At least her vegetable patch is coming along now.

Will the movie be as good as the book? I was recently turned on to this book by my partner. He loved the book as a child and I have come to discover that many other people are also avid fans of the book.
His question is: will a beloved piece of literature translate well to film when it evoked such wonderful images and emotions with each read through?
I guess we shall have to see. It airs on ABC this evening (Monday, 10 May at 8pm EST).
p.s. - I kinda cried when I read the book. It was VERY moving.

Greenlight Concept
We have added our project onto greenlight concept.
1) We want to get some awareness out for the game and get people talking
2) We are not ready to be fully judged by the harsh clickers of the normal greenlight process
3) I want to get a feel for how this process works and gain a better understanding to maximize the effect of its advertisement.
Some interesting information:
In the 24 hours that we have been live on Greenlight Concept we are the second ranked "most popular" for the day, and 12th "most popular" for the week. Our ranking as "most popular of all time" is 130. I feel these are some pretty good numbers considering we have only been active for one day. That said I have been advertising our stuff on a few websites that I frequent as well as our facebook. I hope to get my community involved shortly so we can get 1000+ likes... but that will take some time as I dont want to abuse them and force them to go and vote. Anyway, if you like our project and are interested in what we are doing take some time and look us up on steam:
